"Dr. Vargas talked me OUT of a procedure I thought I needed and recommended something less invasive. The result is exactly what I wanted. Honest surgeons are rare."
Board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon serving South Florida women. Subtle, natural-looking results from a surgeon who only takes the cases she's truly best at.
I focus my practice on the procedures I've done thousands of times. If your goal isn't on this list, I'll refer you to someone whose specialty it is.
Implant + fat transfer options. We discuss every size, shape, and projection in your consult.
Custom combination — typically tummy tuck + breast lift + lipo. One surgery, one recovery.
Mini lift, deep plane lift, neck contouring. Subtle results — designed to age beautifully.
Tummy tuck, liposuction, BBL. For patients who've done the work and want the finish.
Functional and cosmetic. Open and closed techniques. I take a conservative approach.
Corrective work from previous procedures performed elsewhere. Complex cases welcome.
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.
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."
"My mommy makeover with Dr. Vargas changed how I show up for my family. The whole team made recovery feel manageable. Wouldn't trust anyone else."
Every patient journey starts with a free, honest, no-pressure consultation. We'll review your goals, your medical history, and whether I'm the right surgeon for you.
