Meet our Independent Surgeon, Dr. Robert Rey, M.D.


Dr. Robert Rey understands that many patients undergo cosmetic surgery to improve or enhance their appearance, and he knows that patients want scars to be as unnoticeable as possible. Because of this, he specializes in plastic surgery procedures that leave minimal visible scarring.

Dr. Rey is serious about the integrity of the plastic surgery industry. He wants patients to use his services after they have done their research on surgical options, provider options, risks, and benefits. He wants his patients to understand their procedures and ask questions. Patients should always receive the best and never settle for anything less.

Innovative Techniques - His fellowship at Harvard Medical School’s Beth Israel Deaconess hospital introduced him to minimal-scar surgical techniques like endoscopy, fiber optics, and lasers. He has since aided in the development of the transumbilical breast augmentation procedure. Performed by just a handful of surgeons, this procedure provides women the augmentation they desire with no visible scarring. Dr. Rey is also known for the low and smaller incision tummy tucks as well as the Brazilian Butt Lift, where fat is suctioned from areas such as the abdomen and thighs and then transferred to the buttocks. Silicone implants can also be placed through a tummy tuck incision, leaving no scars on the breasts. Dr. Rey has discussed these innovative techniques on CBS, the WB, E!, Elle Magazine, and numerous foreign media outlets.
