Nipple correction in Davinci Plastic Surgery

Davinci Plastic Surgery is a private surgical suite in the Washington Harbour area of Washington, D.C. The facility specializes in cosmetic refinement and reconstructive support. It operates within a single building designed for outpatient care.

Accreditations and Surgical Standards

The clinic has an office-based surgical environment with 10 examination rooms. Two fully equipped operating rooms are available for procedures. These operating rooms hold AAAHC accreditation, which confirms the facility meets high standards for patient safety and quality of care.

The medical team is led by board-certified specialists with multiple certifications. Dr. Steven P. Davison is triple board-certified in plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery, and otolaryngology. Dr. Ximena Pinell is double board-certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Both surgeons are active in medical research and education. Dr. Davison has authored over 100 clinical papers and delivered 95 lectures globally. He has also served as an oral examiner for the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Pinell has published research on quality of life outcomes in bilateral breast reconstruction.

Specialties and Surgical Procedures

The practice focuses on three areas: breast reconstruction, facial rejuvenation, and body contouring. Specialists create a tailored plan for each patient during in-person consultations.

Breast Reconstruction and Enhancement

The clinic provides full options for breast restoration after cancer treatment. Surgeons perform several advanced techniques:

• DIEP and TUG flaps for autologous (natural tissue) reconstruction
• Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps
• Direct-to-implant reconstruction and expander placement
• Oncoplastic reconstruction following lumpectomy
• Correction and refinement of prior reconstructions

Safety protocols include the "no-touch technique" using the Keller Funnel. This method helps reduce the risk of capsular contraction – a common complication where scar tissue tightens around an implant. The clinic offers saline, silicone, and "gummy bear" cohesive gel implants.

Facial and Nasal Surgery

Facial procedures range from surgical rejuvenation to functional corrections. Rhinoplasty is a major focus, with both open and closed approaches available. Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions inside the nostrils, so there's no visible external scarring. The team also performs septorhinoplasty to improve breathing by correcting a deviated septum while reshaping the nose.

Patients typically wear a splint for several days after nasal surgery. Most return to work within one week, though full healing takes several months. Other facial services include blepharoplasty (eyelid rejuvenation), brow lifts, and neck lifts.

Body Contouring and Scar Revision

Body procedures focus on contouring rather than weight loss. Surgeons perform liposuction using small incisions and cannulas to remove localized fat. Tummy tuck recovery usually requires one to four weeks of downtime.

The clinic also treats keloid scars through surgical revision. Patients typically return to work two days after keloid removal. Stitches come out in three days.

Advanced Medical Technologies

The clinic uses Vectra 3D imaging to assist with procedure planning. This technology creates 3D photos for simulations. Patients can visualize potential results for both cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries. To manage post-operative comfort, surgeons use the On-Q pain pump and Exparel to reduce the need for systemic pain medications.

Services for International Patients

The clinic welcomes international patients and supports those traveling from around the world. Medical services are available in English and Spanish. Virtual consultations via Skype and FaceTime help with initial planning. For those undergoing extensive procedures, surgeons coordinate perioperative care, including overnight stays at the surgery center when needed.
