Not all injectors are created equal. Expert.

To see me as a patient in my Mobile, AL office please call Synergy MedAesthetics at 251-999-6691. Dr. Raggio's philosophy is simple: to create a customized treatment plan that produces a lasting, beautiful, and natural result. Facelift
Dr. Raggio performs what is called an Extended Deep-Plane facelift. With this Deep-Plane technique, you can be guaranteed you will receive the most natural, robust, and durable results possible when rejuvenating the face & neck. Rhinoplasty (nose job)
Having trained under masters in the field at both Tulane and the University of Toronto, Dr. Raggio brings an unprecedented knowledge of Rhinoplasty (nose job) to the Montgomery community. Dr. Raggio will focus not only on improving your breathing but also on creating a nose that best fits your face. Revision Rhinoplasty (nose job)
For those who have undergone previous nasal surgery and experienced suboptimal results, revision rhinoplasty is a way to restore both shape and function to your nose. Dr. Raggio will utilize his extensive knowledge and experience in both primary and revision rhinoplasty to achieve that goal. Blepharoplasty (eyelid procedure)
Eyelid procedures require a great deal of skill, precision, and attention to detail, which is why Blepharoplasty is one of Dr. Raggio's favorite procedures. Dr. Raggio will utilize one of a number of cutting-edge techniques to restore a more youthful appearance to the eye region. As a Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Raggio's extensive knowledge of facial anatomy gives him a distinct advantage over other botox injectors. With intentional applications of precise amount of product, Dr. Raggio will restore a more youthful appearance to your face. Filler
Not all injectors are created equal. As a Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Raggio's extensive knowledge of facial anatomy gives him a distinct advantage over other injectors. Also, Dr. Raggio's precision, attention to detail, and superb technique are what distinguishes him from other injectors. Chemical Peel
Dr. Raggio employs what is called a Monheit peel, a tried-and-trusted technique of skin resurfacing used to target sunspots, fine lines and wrinkles, and texture irregularities. This type of peel represents a powerful tool, used alone or in conjunction with other procedures, for facial rejuvenation. hair restoration
Hair restoration, whether it be non-surgical (PRP injections) or surgical (Hair Transplant), represents a powerful procedure to rejuvenate the signs and symptoms of premature hair loss. As a Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Raggio has extensive training in both of these hair restoring modalities. Mohs defect repair
As a Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Raggio takes pride in his ability to restore form and function to faces affected by large or unsightly skin cancer excisions. Facial Trauma
Facial trauma, whether it be from an accident or sports-related injury, requires careful technique to be able to recreate the form and function inherent to the face. Dr. Raggio's dual training in both Head & Neck Surgery, and Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, allow him to do just that. Liposuction
Liposuction of the face and neck can be used to restore a more youthful appearance to the midface, jawline, and neck. Liposuction can be performed either alone in the office setting, or in the operating room in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures. The results can be very impactful. Facial Fat Grafting
Facial fat grafting requires the harvesting of your own body's adipose (fat cells) and reimplanting them into portions of the face affected by volume loss. Similar to dermal filler procedures, facial fat grafting can target those areas where hollows and deep wrinkles/folds promote an aged look. Jawline Contouring
Jawline contouring can be obtained using a combination of procedures, including buccal fat removal, masseter reduction using botox, jawline and chin augmentation using fillers and/or implants, and liposuction. These procedures can be done in-office, or under light sedation with minimal downtime. Medical spa

Botulinum toxin (e.g., Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau)
Not all injectors are created equal. Dr. Raggio's dual training in Head&Neck Surgery, and Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery gives him a distinct advantage over other injectors. Trust your face to a facial plastic surgeon. Dermal Filler (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Belotero)

Why does the neck often age faster than the face?

First, the skin of the neck is naturally thinner than the skin of the face, making it more susceptible to laxity and visible aging over time.

Second, the neck receives the same amount of sun exposure as the face, yet it is often overlooked when applying SPF. This leads to cumulative sun damage that accelerates skin aging.

Third, the platysma muscle bands in the neck are not supported by underlying bony structures, which allows them to become more prominent as tissues weaken and descend.

Together, these factors contribute to earlier and more noticeable aging in the neck.

This kind, thoughtful patient in her mid-50s wanted a natural, refreshed look. Together, we chose what I often call the “Big Four” of facial rejuvenation:
Minimally Invasive Brow Reset

Preservation Extended Deep Plane Facelift
Deep Plane Structural Necklift
CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

Now at ten months post-op, she’s healing beautifully.

Follow along as we discuss 3 things that contribute to facial aging. Each plays a distinct role and requires a thoughtful, individualized approach.

1. Skin
2. Volume Loss
3. Structure

Skin quality can be improved with proper skincare and treatments such as laser resurfacing or chemical peel. Structural aging, what we see as sagging, is best addressed by repositioning deeper tissues through procedures like a deep-plane facelift or neck lift. Volume loss, which leads to hollowing and deflation, can be restored with techniques such as fat grafting.

True facial rejuvenation is not one-dimensional. It is the combination of restoring structure, replenishing volume, and improving skin quality that creates balanced, natural results.

2 Months Post-Op: Rhinoplasty & Targeted CO2 Laser

This patient's goal was to correct a dorsal hump and create a smoother, more refined nasal bridge. Through careful structural rhinoplasty, we were able to soften the profile while maintaining balance with the rest of the facial features.

At two months, healing is still in progress, and some residual swelling remains, particularly along the bridge and tip. Over the coming months, the nose will continue to refine as the tissues settle. I am grateful to this patient for allowing us to share her healing journey.

1 Year Post-Op: Rhinoplasty

When a boxer decides to hang up the gloves and fix his nose that’s endured years of hits, it’s both a challenge and an honor to step in as the surgeon.

This case was truly unique , in that this nose sustained years of repetitive trauma including an attempt at repair by another surgeon. What we found was significant scar tissue, asymmetry, distorted tissue planes, poor structural stability, a collapsed airway, and the need for significant reconstruction. Using rib cartilage, we rebuilt his nose, restoring a functional airway and creating a strong, masculine profile that’s natural and refined.

These complex cases demand full focus and precision, 2 hours and 10 minutes of surgical adrenaline, like my own version of a boxing match.

Rhinoplasty isn’t just about reshaping; it’s about restoring function, structure, and confidence. It’s a privilege to work on noses that tell such a story.

Every rhinoplasty starts here.

Careful evaluation. Surgical markings. A clear plan. This patient had a history of nasal trauma when she was younger. Over time it left her with a dorsal hump, a widened bridge, and noticeable crookedness from the front view. Her tip cartilages were thick and curved, which created a bulbous shape and softened definition, especially with a thicker skin envelope.

Functionally, she had lived for years thinking her breathing issues were “just sinuses.” In reality, she had a severely deviated septum causing significant obstruction.

Our goal was simple in concept but complex in ex*****on. Create a nose that feels refined, feminine, and balanced with her small frame… while also restoring proper nasal airflow. In surgery we corrected the septal deviation, narrowed and straightened the bridge, refined the tip structure, and repositioned the nasal framework back toward the facial midline. Structural grafting was used to ensure the result remains stable and natural for decades.

The images and intraoperative views show the early refinement. The real beauty of rhinoplasty isn’t making a new nose. It’s creating the one that should have been there all along.

“Scarless” facial plastic surgery is a common phrase, but in reality, surgery requires access.

Whenever we perform a procedure, small incisions are necessary to reach the structures we are operating on. Those incisions inevitably create scars. The goal of modern facial plastic surgery is not to promise that scars will not exist, but to place them thoughtfully and allow them to heal in a way that makes them difficult to notice.

In facial surgery, incisions are carefully designed to fall within natural creases, hairlines, or areas where they blend with the surrounding anatomy. With meticulous technique and proper healing, these scars typically become inconspicuous over time.

The Power of a Deep Plane Neck Lift

This wonderful patient 6 months post-op from a Deep Plane Necklift and Chin Implant. She had previously tried treatments like Kybella and CoolSculpting, performed by an outside provider, and did not achieve the results she was hoping for.

A deep plane neck lift is ideal for those with loose skin, visible banding, or deeper structural changes.

Wondering if the Deep Plane Neck Lift is right for you? Every consult at Raggio MD is tailored, thorough, and always focused on what will truly give you the best long-term result. We are thankful for this patient and her willingness to share her journey.

Surgery is not the final step, it is the foundation.

While procedures such as a facelift or brow lift restore structure and reposition tissue, ongoing maintenance plays an important role in preserving and optimizing those results. Strategic Botox after surgery can help soften dynamic muscle movement, protect delicate refinements, and maintain balance in the face.

Facial rejuvenation is not a one-time event. It is a long-term plan designed to protect your investment and support lasting, natural results.
