What to Ask at Your Facelift Consultation

Our philosophy centers on subtle, structural refinement. We enhance your inherent beauty while preserving your identity. A natural result means no visible signs of surgery—just a refreshed, elegant version of you.

We lift the deeper facial structures (not just the skin) through our proprietary PreservaLift™, an extended deep-plane facelift technique that delivers structural rejuvenation with grace.

By releasing tethering ligaments, repositioning deeper support layers, and using regenerative tools like nanofat grafting and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), we ensure results that evolve beautifully over time.

Yes. Facial rejuvenation and rhinoplasty are all we do. This intense focus on cosmetic facial plastic surgery yields more consistent, refined, and elegant outcomes. I prefer to be a Master of One rather than a Jack of all trades.

Yes. Dr. Blake Raggio holds dual board certification and completed elite fellowship training in Facial Plastic Surgery at the University of Toronto.

We perform weekly facial rejuvenation surgeries at Raggio MD. Dr. Raggio personally performs each one—never delegated to assistants.

Dr. Raggio was trained in deep-plane techniques during his Facial Plastic Surgery fellowship and has performed them for the last several years in private practice—long before they became a trend. Unlike surgeons who only recently adopted this modern method, Dr. Raggio has spent years refining and mastering his technique, culminating in the PreservaLift, a preservation extended release deep-plane facelift and structural necklift with autologous fat grafting. At RaggioMD, the deep plane is not new—it’s standard.
