This patient wanted to reduce the appearance of a longer forehead while lifting the brows for a more youthful, rested look.

A hairline reduction combined with a brow lift was decided upon to achieve this. 🤍

When performed with precision, the incision is carefully placed along the hairline, allowing it to heal beautifully and become discreet over time. It’s an excellent option for patients concerned about a receding hairline or a heavy brow, with a relatively smooth recovery process. 🌿

Through thoughtful planning and meticulous technique, Dr. Taghava was able to achieve results that look harmonious rather than overdone.

Over the past two decades, Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva has witnessed a profound shift in how patients define “ideal” beauty.

It began with celebrity reference photos.
Then came influencers.
Now, increasingly, patients bring in AI-generated images of their own faces, altered, filtered, and perfected by algorithms.

In her latest Substack essay, Dr. Taghva reflects on how artificial intelligence is reshaping aesthetic expectations and why it can quietly create biologically unattainable standards.

Plastic surgery can refine, restore, and enhance.
But it cannot, and should not, compete with artificial perfection.

LEA Plastic Surgery specializes in consultations that are rooted in anatomy, balance, and what is realistically achievable, rather than algorithm-driven ideals.

We invite you to read her full reflection at the link in bio.

At LEA Plastic Surgery, skin rejuvenation is never one-size-fits-all. ✨

Every patient begins with a thoughtful skin analysis and consultation. We evaluate skin quality, collagen integrity, areas of laxity, texture concerns, and long-term goals, then design a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.

For this patient, this meant pairing technologies like:

• Ultherapy to lift and tighten by targeting deeper structural layers with focused ultrasound energy.
• Scarlet Pro RF Microneedling to refine texture and tone by stimulating collagen remodeling within the dermis.

When strategically combined, these treatments work at different depths to support firmer, smoother, healthier-looking skin. 🔬

At LEA Plastic Surgery, this is what patient-centered care looks like: individualized planning, advanced technology, and results designed around your anatomy and goals.

Moxi is a gentle laser method that stimulates collagen and repairs the skin from within without damaging or removing the outer layer of skin. Safe for all skin types, even in summer, offering minimal downtime. Results in brighter, more even-toned skin, targeting texture, fine lines, and pigmentation. ✨

Moxi can come with heat and tingles, so we pair it with the Glacial Rx Facial. It is the first and only facial treatment that uses precision cooling to further treat redness, melasma, and brown spots.

At LEA Plastic Surgery, pairing both treatments is part of our signature approach. It’s unique to our practice, and our patients love the smoother, clearer, more radiant results.

Make the first step to brighter and better skin by calling our office at (949) 945-2168 to schedule your consultation. ☎️

Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva was recently featured in NewBeauty for her expertise in endoscopic transaxillary breast augmentation. ✨🩺

Transaxillary breast augmentation is a highly technical procedure that requires specialized training, comfort with endoscopic visualization, and a deep understanding of anatomy from a remote visual field. Because of its complexity, it is not widely offered. Dr. Taghva is among a small number of surgeons nationwide with extensive experience performing this advanced technique.

This approach offers several potential benefits, including no incisions on the breast, minimized tissue trauma, reported less postoperative pain, and a smoother early recovery compared with other incision approaches.

To find out if this procedure may be right for you, send us a DM or call our office to schedule your complimentary consultation!

Endoscopic brow and midface lifting may be gaining attention—but it has been a cornerstone of my practice for over a decade.

By working through small, well-hidden incisions with a high definition endoscope, this technique allows for precise elevation of the brow and midface with minimal scarring, less tissue trauma, and beautifully natural results—ideal for patients who want discreet, refined improvement rather than obvious surgery.

This is also one of the most operator-dependent procedures in aesthetic surgery. Respecting key anatomical landmarks—such as the sentinel vein shown here—requires not only training, but years of repetition, judgment, and restraint. After more than a decade of performing endoscopic brow, midface, and breast procedures, I still find this surgery deeply satisfying.

There is a quiet focus to endoscopic work that I genuinely enjoy—the precision, spatial thinking, hand-eye coordination and problem-solving. It’s the same part of my brain that loved mastering video games in the ’80s, now applied to anatomy and aesthetics.

Technology enables the procedure.
Experience defines the outcome.

12/23/2025

We pour so much of our heart and energy into caring for our patients, and that work is only possible because of this team. Their dedication, compassion, and consistency behind the scenes are what make everything we do possible.

This spa day was just a small token of appreciation—a moment for them to feel taken care of, the way they take care of others all year long. I’m deeply grateful for this group and for another meaningful year together. 🫶
