About Dr. Vargas

Fifteen years.
One philosophy.

I trained at Johns Hopkins and completed my plastic surgery fellowship at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine. I've been in private practice in Coral Gables since 2010.

"My job isn't to make you look like someone else. It's to help you look like the most rested, confident version of yourself."

I limit my caseload to 4 surgeries per week so I can give each patient the attention they deserve. I personally do every consultation, every surgery, and every follow-up.

"Three doctors said my revision case was 'too complex.' Dr. Vargas took it on and gave me my body back. I cry every time I look in the mirror — happy tears now."
