If you’re traveling to San Diego for facial plastic surgery, you’re in good hands.
Dr. Melanie Malone is a dual board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon with an exclusive practice focused on natural results and concierge care. Located in beautiful La Jolla, California, her clinic is designed to support a relaxed, private experience from your first consult through your last follow-up.
Patients from across the country and around the world choose Dr. Malone for one reason: effortless results. With advanced surgical techniques like deep plane facelift, scarless rhinoplasty, and fat transposition eyelid surgery, she helps patients age gracefully without ever looking “done.”
As one of the only female facial plastic surgeons in San Diego, Dr. Malone brings a thoughtful, precision-driven approach to every procedure. She’s board-certified in Facial Plastic Surgery and Head and Neck Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and a published expert in her field.
Her practice is intentionally small and hands-on. That means you’ll be working directly with Dr. Malone, not passed off to a rotating team. From concierge post-op recovery to holistic healing options, every aspect of your experience is personalized and elevated.
Starting with a virtual consultation allows you to meet with Dr. Malone, ask questions, and discuss your aesthetic goals before ever boarding a flight. During this visit, she’ll review your medical history, evaluate your candidacy for surgery, and walk you through potential treatment options. From there, we’ll help you plan travel, schedule surgery, and coordinate any pre-op labs or imaging locally.
Our patient care team is here to make the process seamless. We’ll walk you through pre-op instructions, schedule your surgical and follow-up visits, and assist with local accommodations and transportation options.
If you choose to stay in our Concierge Recovery Suite, we’ll ensure everything is ready for your arrival—from meals to IV recovery drips and private nursing care. You’ll never feel like you're navigating this alone—we’re with you every step of the way.
