Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Our approach prioritizes natural contours while maintaining tissue integrity for long-term satisfaction.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tucks remove excess skin and fat while repairing separated abdominal muscles. This body contouring procedure benefits patients post-pregnancy or significant weight loss, creating a flatter, more toned midsection through precise tissue repositioning.
Facelift
Facelifts restore youthful facial contours by addressing sagging skin and deep creases. Our technique preserves natural expressions while lifting underlying tissues, often combined with eyelid or neck procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation and lasting results.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty improves nasal proportions and addresses breathing issues. Using 3D imaging, we plan precise cartilage and bone modifications to enhance facial harmony while maintaining structural support and functional airway integrity.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits through minimally invasive techniques. Ideal for contouring arms, abdomen, or thighs, this procedure complements healthy lifestyles by targeting diet-resistant areas with smooth, natural transitions.

I come and get botox a couple times a year from Dr hallak! He can always fit me in relatively quick, minimal wait times and most competitive pricing in the Rancho Bernardo area!

I had the best breast augmentation experience from Dr Hallak, after first being sure that he WAS Board Certified. He was very thorough with sizing and what would look good with my body type. I wanted to be more proportioned with the rest of my body. I was so happy with my results and gained so much confidence after I was fully healed. He went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you so much!

My girlfriend and I interviewed a half dozen plastic surgeons in San Diego for her mommy makeover surgery and decided to go with Dr Hallak. He is a very caring and genuine guy many other surgeons in town just came across arrogant and full of themselves. The surgery turned out excellent and we highly recommend Dr Hallak for any of your plastic surgery needs.
