Dr. Barone is not just recognized for her contributions to the field of cosmetic surgery. As a leader in reconstructive surgery, Dr. Barone served as the associate editorial board member and reviewer of the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. She also served as the senior editor for the Plastic Surgery section of the Cranio-Maxillofacial Trauma Journal. 

Have your features changed as a result of trauma, deformity, disease, or another event that was out of your control? Plastic surgery is not just used to enhance your beauty; it can also be used for reconstructive purposes. At our San Antonio, TX, practice, Dr. Barone can perform several reconstructive procedures, including breast reconstruction (using fat transfer) and rhinoplasty.

Before she opened her cosmetic surgery practice, Dr. Barone trained in plastic surgery at NYU, where she worked alongside top surgeons to perform reconstructive surgery for children. During her fellowship in New York, she developed the reconstructive protocol for operations in children with premature closure in the skulls. Her surgical technique and instrumentation are still used to help children all over the world.

With awake surgery, Dr. Barone provides an alternative to the discomfort and nausea of general anesthesia. By using local anesthetic alone instead of general anesthesia, Dr. Barone can eliminate many of the unpleasant side effects that accompany general anesthesia. As a result, you can recover more quickly and comfortably. 

While some of us may not like the idea of staying awake during the procedure, many appreciate the feeling of control and involvement in the surgical process. You will feel no pain, but will still be able to communicate with the doctor.

As part of her dedication to improving care, Dr. Barone performs drainless tummy tucks. Because fluid build-up is such a common complication after this procedure, placing drains in the abdomen has traditionally been a necessary part of recovery. However, these drains must stay in for two to three weeks and can quickly become cumbersome and uncomfortable.

Instead, Dr. Barone uses TissuGlu® to prevent fluid accumulation from happening in the first place. By creating strong bonds between the layers of tissue during the procedure, she can eliminate the need for drains. This can allow you to enjoy a much more comfortable recovery.

As a modified version of the standard facelift, the QuickLift lifts and tightens loose skin on the lower half of the face in a minimally invasive way. As a result, patients experience significantly less bruising and swelling after treatment. You can experience your results sooner and with less discomfort than a traditional facelift would involve.
