Dr. Macias and her staff helped make this very personal decision easy and comfortable. They took the time to listen and answered all my questions. I was very nervous about having breast surgery but after it was done I was so happy with the results. She truly nailed it. I would highly recommend Dr. Macias to anyone considering any cosmetic surgery.

Real Patient Testimonials/Reviews
Dr. Downs and The Centre, P.C. staff are wonderful to work with for questions/concerns prior to and after surgery during recovery period. Dr. Downs consults with patient prior to surgery to confirm understanding of what results are important to them.
Additionally, Dr. Downs personally follows up after surgery to ensure that things are going well after discharge which I was extremely impressed by. The office/surgical center provides a more discrete and personalized patient environment with a separate door entrance for the follow-up appointment the day after surgery as well.

- The staff the day of surgery was fun and helped me with my nerves.

Everyone is so professional, compassionate, and willing to help in anyway.
I would recommend their office to everyone.
I was referred to The Centre by the on call hand Doctor that reviewed my ER case after I split my thumb open. From setting up my appointment to being taken care of by the staff, it was a pleasant experience. Each member of the team I met was attentive, very forthright with any information I needed & were an absolute pleasure to be around. Dr. Downs has an amazing staff!
The medspa staff are always friendly and welcoming. Kellee has the LIGHTEST touch with an injection needle and always does a great job!
It has been officially 5 week since my tummy tuck and breast lift. After losing 150lbs I knew I needed this done but never thought it would be possible. After meeting with Dr. Downs and his team my dreams started to seem like reality. Five weeks ago we completed 1 of my 2 suggested surgery’s. My recovery so far has been extremely easy with little to no pain. Dr. Downs has been just the best. He took his time and explained every part of my surgery and what I could expect. It was a pleasant surprise to wake up from surgery and find out he didn’t have to make the vertical incision down my stomach due to all the my weight loss, and lose skin. I’m so happy Dr. Downs is who I decided to go to for this surgery. Can’t wait for him to complete my project.
Dr. Downs is fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and communicates very effectively. The staff made this experience comfortable for me. I am very happy and pleased with the results.
The Dermaplaning Procedure
During a brief, outpatient treatment, a licensed skin care professional gently glides a sterile, scalpel-like blade across the skin’s surface, exfoliating the epidermis (outer skin layer). The procedure is:
- Painless and requires no anesthesia
- Noninvasive with no swelling or bruising
- Quick typically takes 30-45 minutes
Dermaplaning & Facial Hair
A common myth is that vellus hair grows back thicker or darker after dermaplaning—this is not true. The hair will regrow at its natural consistency and color.
To maintain results, it is recommended to schedule treatments every three to four weeks.
Recovery and Aftercare
- No downtime required—return to normal activities immediately, but avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours..
- Skin may appear slightly pink but will fade within a few hours.
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect fresh skin.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants or retinol-based products for at least 48 hours.
Results
- Immediate radiance and skin smoothness
- Enhanced product absorption and makeup application
- More even skin tone
Risks and Considerations
While safe for most skin types, dermaplaning has minor risks, including:
- Temporary redness or sensitivity
- Mild irritation in sensitive skin types
- Potential breakouts if skin is acne-prone
A professional consultation ensures the procedure is safe and effective for your skin type.
