Services
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty at Aesthetic Surgery Center enhances facial harmony by reshaping the nose. Dr. Macdonald addresses structural imbalances, breathing issues, or aesthetic concerns with precision. Patients benefit from natural contours, improved airflow, and long-lasting results. The procedure caters to individuals seeking subtle refinements or dramatic transformations, ensuring symmetry and proportion.
Botox
Botox treatments target dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. By relaxing overactive muscles, this FDA-approved injectable smooths glabellar lines, forehead creases, and crows feet. Results last 45 months, with maintenance sessions required. Ideal for patients seeking non-surgical rejuvenation with minimal downtime and immediate visible improvements.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing revitalizes skin texture using Sciton JOULE technology. It addresses discoloration, fine lines, and uneven tone through controlled thermal damage, stimulating collagen production. Treatments range from light exfoliation to deep resurfacing, suitable for all skin types. Patients achieve a radiant complexion with reduced scarring and pigmentation irregularities.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits in areas like the neck, chin, and body. Using minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Macdonald sculpts contours for a slimmer profile. Results are long-lasting with proper weight management. This procedure benefits individuals with stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise, offering enhanced body confidence.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels exfoliate dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter layers beneath. Customizable solutions address acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging signs. Treatments like PCA Skin and Sensi Peel cater to sensitive or resilient skin types. Regular sessions improve texture, reduce pore size, and promote even skin tone with minimal recovery time.

Oh how I miss Dr Macdonald so much. I'd ended up moving to another state, and unfortunately I haven't found a surgeon who is as awesome as Dr Macdonald. He does the BEST botox job, really opening up my eyes, to an almost alluring look. Now my eyes are constantly beady. My naso-labial folds are more pronounced, the surgeon using 4 FOUR syringes for my whole face. Unbelievable, I don't recall Dr Macdonald ever using more than 2 on my face. Dr Macdonald is definitely underrated, the best in San Francisco, possibly the whole nation. Miss you Dr Macdonald

Dr Macdonald and staff were nothing short of wonderful! His office is warm and welcoming and I immediately felt comfortable. Unfortunately the TMJ botox treatment I received was not as successful as I was hoping for as I'm still experiencing considerable jaw pain a week after the procedure. Really bummed it didn't work, but I know how relentless chronic TMJ can be no matter what you try. Had a great experience while there.

Dr. Macdonald has been my go-to plastic surgeon for aesthetic treatments and procedures since 2019. I've had liposuction, a submentoplasty, regular botox injections, migraine preventative botox injections, subtle fillers, and recently began a chemical peel series. The doctor is always kind, personable, professional, and down to earth. He always knows what to recommend to give me what I'm looking for, but is also not afraid to put some guardrails on my expectations.

He prefers his outcomes to look natural and undetectable. Don't go to him looking for those overdone injections or inhuman proportions. Do go to him if you want your natural beauty elegantly enhanced.

I was referred to Dr. MacDonald by my friend and am very glad I found him. I had a lip lift done overseas in 2013 which resulted in big scar on my upper lip. I went to see a surgeon in Beverly Hills in 2015 which removed big scar but had upper lip that did not line up. I pretty much gave up any hope of getting this fixed until I met Dr. MacDonald. After meeting him and saw so many testimonies from his patients in a big binder in his office, I decided to proceed with surgery.

It has been 3 weeks since surgery and my upper lip is looking better and better every day. I have faith in him and trust him completely. I am really looking forward to getting my upper lip looking more natural as it heals more in the next few months. It has been 6 months since my surgery. The scar around the upper lip border is very minimal and looks more natural and I am no longer self conscious about my upper lip scar. I wish I had known about Dr. MacDonald back in 2015 which would have saved multiple trips to Beverly Hills.

Dr. Macdonald is my hero! I suffered with ugly calcium deposits around my eyes for 10yr due to side effects from thyroid disease. After years of being told there is no way to correct it, or that I was too dark for surgery. Dr Macdonald reassured me he could help. He was upfront and honest about what he could fix. 4 month post op and I could not be happier, my only regret is that I did not find him 10yrs ago.
