What recent patients say
4.3 / 5 · 40 Google reviewsI recently underwent a breast implant replacement with Dr. Fiala, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my experience and results. I originally had my implants placed 15 years ago by another surgeon, and unfortunately developed capsular contracture in one breast. From my very first consultation, Dr. Fiala made me feel completely at ease. He was calm, reassuring, and took the time to thoroughly explain what was happening and how it could be corrected. That level of clarity and confidence made a significant difference for me. When discussing implant sizes and options, he was extremely patient and knowledgeable. He listened carefully to what I wanted, provided thoughtful guidance, and never rushed the process. I felt fully informed and supported in making the right decision for my body. The entire team was consistently welcoming, organized, and professional. Every interaction — from consultation to post-operative care — reflected a high standard of service and attention. Most importantly, the results exceeded my expectations. The outcome is beautiful and natural, and I truly couldn’t have asked for better. I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Fiala and his team for their expertise and care. I would confidently recommend him to anyone considering breast surgery.

Dr. Thomas Fiala approaches the deep plane facelift with a focus on comprehensive facial rejuvenation and natural-looking results. This advanced surgical technique differs from traditional facelifts by addressing the deeper anatomical structures of the face, rather than just the skin.
His methodology involves sub-SMAS dissection, which means carefully lifting the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer. This layer, composed of muscle and fibrous tissue, is crucial for supporting the facial features and is a key component in achieving long-lasting facelift outcomes. By manipulating this deeper layer, Dr. Fiala aims to reposition sagging tissues more effectively.
