A cosmetic procedure is an investment in yourself, and selecting the right surgeon is essential to achieving safe, lasting results.
Whether you are considering body contouring, breast surgery, facial rejuvenation, or nonsurgical treatments, the qualifications and expertise of your surgeon directly impact both your safety and results.
At Lansdowne Aesthetic Center, cosmetic procedures are performed by Yaqub Baraki, M.D, a board-certified general surgeon with specialized training and experience in cosmetic surgery. His credentials reflect a commitment to patient safety, surgical excellence, and consistently natural-looking results.
With many providers offering cosmetic procedures today, understanding what truly matters can help you make a confident, informed choice.
One of the first, and most critical, factors to consider is a provider’s board certification. A board-certified cosmetic surgeon has completed rigorous training, passed comprehensive examinations, and adheres to the highest standards of patient safety and ethical care.
Board certification demonstrates a commitment to excellence and ongoing education in aesthetic and reconstructive techniques. Dr. Baraki is board-certified with years of experience.
Reputable cosmetic surgeons maintain active memberships in respected medical organizations. Dr. Baraki has affiliations with the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, the American College of Surgeons, and the American Medical Association. These organizations maintain strict guidelines for patient care, surgical safety, and clinical outcomes.
His memberships reflect dedication to continued learning, evidence-based practices, and professional accountability.
Cosmetic surgery is not one-size-fits-all. A surgeon who offers a comprehensive range of procedures brings a deeper understanding of anatomy, balance, and proportion.
Dr. Baraki has experience in procedures such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), breast augmentation and breast lift, facelift surgery, men’s cosmetic procedures, and advanced body contouring options, such as SculpSure®, allowing him to provide personalized treatment planning tailored to each patient’s goals.
A broad surgical background also ensures that both surgical and nonsurgical options can be thoughtfully considered, helping patients achieve natural, harmonious results.
To gain valuable insight into a surgeon’s aesthetic approach, ask your provider to share before-and-after photos of previous work. Look for results that appear refined, balanced, and appropriate for each individual.
Consistent high-quality outcomes across multiple procedure types indicate technical skill, artistic judgment, and attention to detail. There are numerous before-and-after photos on the Lansdowne Aesthetic Center website. They display results for multiple procedures, including Brazilian butt lifts, breast augmentation, and laser liposuction.
