The Art and Science of Self-Care: Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Talks Cutting-Edge Treatments

As a Harvard-trained and board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in surgical and non-surgical procedures of the face, breast, and body, Dr. Maia knew early on that she would spend her life in plastic surgery. “When I saw how plastic surgery could impact patients’ self-confidence and quality of life, I knew I found my passion.”

Today, Dr. Maia is celebrated for her exceptional skill in delivering life-changing results. She is committed to achieving outcomes that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also look entirely natural. “I incorporate cutting-edge techniques into all my procedures to ensure that facelifts appear refreshed rather than over-pulled, scars heal discreetly, and tummy tucks have a natural, flattering belly button shape,” Dr. Maia says.

Dr. Maia’s decade of experience has revealed the profound effect of plastic surgery on her patients’ self-perception and social interactions. “Recently, a tummy tuck patient told me that she feels different; Her husband said that she has a different persona now,” She reflects, “This is why I love what I do — It improves well-being and dives into a psychological level that many people don’t see.”

At her Tysons clinic this time of year, men and women are seeking ways to refresh and rejuvenate themselves in time for the holidays. The popularity of in-office procedures, including the mini facelift, upper eyelid lift, double chin liposuction, and labiaplasty, has seen a significant uptick. Dr. Maia notes, “These are all treatments I can perform under local anesthesia, with minimal downtime. The results are truly remarkable, leaving my patients with a positive physical and mental impact.”

There is also a surge in demand for non-invasive treatments such as Botox, fillers, Morpheus8 skin tightening and the PICO Glow Facial. These procedures, loved by Hollywood celebrities, are now accessible to the Northern Virginia area. The standout feature of this season is the PICO Glow Facial, an innovative laser designed to combat fine lines, wrinkles, sunspots, and hyperpigmentation. “The treatment stimulates collagen production, leaving the skin with a radiant, natural glow, all without any downtime or discomfort,” Dr. Maia shares.
