This surgical expertise ensures superior safety protocols, anatomical understanding, and natural-looking results whether you’re receiving Botox or considering surgery.

He has conducted more than 80 cadaver laboratory sessions nationwide and serves as a Key Opinion Leader for major pharmaceutical and device companies.

Consultation and Getting Started

• What happens during my consultation? Every patient journey begins with Dr. Eskenazi’s personal assessment. He analyzes your facial anatomy or body concerns, discusses your aesthetic goals, and develops a customized treatment plan that enhances your natural features while maintaining proportion and harmony.
• Do you offer virtual consultations? Yes. Avabello offers both virtual and in-person consultations to accommodate patients’ schedules and preferences. Virtual consultations are particularly helpful for out-of-town patients planning their visit to Miami Beach.
• Do you treat patients from outside Miami? Absolutely. Many patients travel from throughout South Florida—including Aventura, Bal Harbour, and Fort Lauderdale—as well as nationally and internationally. Avabello offers concierge services for out-of-town patients, including assistance with travel planning and post-procedure care coordination.

Surgical Procedures

• What body procedures do you offer? Avabello provides comprehensive body contouring including tummy tuck, liposuction, Brazilian butt lift (BBL), mommy makeover, body contouring after weight loss, panniculectomy, diastasis recti repair, male body contouring, and scar revision.
• What breast procedures are available? Dr. Eskenazi performs breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, breast lift with implants, breast fat transfer, breast implant revision and removal, en bloc capsulectomy, gynecomastia surgery for men, and correction of breast asymmetry and tubular breast deformity. He also offers breast resensation and nipple reconstruction.
• What facial surgeries do you perform? Facial procedures include facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, buccal fat removal, chin and jawline contouring, ear procedures (otoplasty), lip surgery, FaceTite skin tightening, and osteoma removal.
• How long is recovery from plastic surgery? Recovery varies by procedure. Minor surgeries may require only a few days of downtime, while more extensive procedures like tummy tucks or facelifts typically need two to four weeks before returning to normal activities. Dr. Eskenazi provides detailed recovery timelines during your consultation.
• Will I have visible scarring? Dr. Eskenazi’s extensive reconstructive background provides exceptional expertise in minimizing visible scarring. He uses advanced techniques and strategic incision placement to ensure scars heal inconspicuously. The practice also offers scar revision treatments for existing scars.

Injectable Treatments

• What injectable treatments do you offer? Avabello provides neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin), dermal fillers, biostimulatory fillers (like Sculptra and Radiesse), and combination injectable treatments. These can address wrinkles, volume loss, facial contouring, and skin quality improvement.
• What’s the difference between dermal fillers and biostimulatory fillers? Traditional dermal fillers provide immediate volume by adding hyaluronic acid beneath the skin. Biostimulatory fillers work differently—they stimulate your body’s own collagen production over time, gradually improving skin quality, thickness, and firmness. Results from biostimulatory fillers develop over months but can last significantly longer than traditional fillers.
• How does having a plastic surgeon perform my injectables make a difference? Dr. Eskenazi’s deep understanding of facial anatomy—developed through performing over 10,000 facial surgeries—translates directly to superior injectable results. He understands how the face ages, where volume loss occurs, and how treatments interact. This surgical perspective helps avoid the overdone look that can result from providers who focus only on filling lines.
• Do you offer treatments specifically for men? Yes. Avabello provides injectable treatments and procedures specifically tailored for male patients, including male body contouring, gynecomastia surgery, and male-specific injectable approaches that maintain masculine facial features while addressing signs of aging.

Med Spa Services

• What med spa treatments are available? The Avabello med spa offers laser and skin rejuvenation, microneedling, facials, IV therapy, and medical-grade skincare. These can be performed alone or combined with surgical procedures for comprehensive results.
• Do you offer medical weight loss? Yes. Avabello provides medical weight loss programs supervised by Dr. Eskenazi. These programs can help patients reach their goals before body contouring procedures or serve as standalone treatments for those seeking medically-supervised weight management.
• What skin treatments help with texture and tone? Laser and energy-based therapies, microneedling (including RF microneedling), chemical peels, and medical-grade skincare can all improve skin texture, tone, and tightening. During your consultation, Dr. Eskenazi recommends the most appropriate treatments based on your specific skin concerns and goals.

Safety and Results

• How do you ensure patient safety? As a double board-certified surgeon, Dr. Eskenazi maintains the highest medical standards. The facility operates under strict surgical protocols, and every patient receives comprehensive evaluation including medical history review and risk assessment. His training in both general surgery and plastic surgery provides exceptional complication management capabilities.
• How do you achieve natural-looking results? Dr. Eskenazi’s philosophy emphasizes enhancement over alteration. His extensive experience with facial reconstruction gives him unique insight into proportion and harmony. He works with each patient’s existing anatomy rather than imposing a standardized look, ensuring results that appear effortless and age gracefully.
• Can multiple procedures be combined? Yes. Dr. Eskenazi specializes in comprehensive treatment plans that may combine surgical procedures with injectables, laser treatments, and medical-grade skincare. These combination approaches often achieve superior results, and coordinating procedures can reduce overall downtime.
