Dr. Anurag Agarwal, a Naples facial plastic surgeon, grew up in Washington, D.C. before moving to Florida in 2005 as a surgeon with the Aesthetic Surgery Center. Today, Dr. Agarwal is the owner and medical director of the practice.
As a facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Agarwal specializes in endoscopic facelift surgery, rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty (or eyelid surgery), lip enhancement, fat transfer to the face, hair replacement, facial injectables, and skin cancer reconstruction of the face. Dr. Agarwal also developed the UpLift procedure from the traditional lower face and neck lift to tighten the jawline and upper neck. This complex surgery involves muscle reattachment and vertical suspension of the SMAS with deep SMAS dissection, which makes it more effective than a basic SMAS suturing procedure or the skin suspension of a “mini lift.”
