Board-certified in general and plastic surgery, Dr. Rafael C. Cabrera has been practicing plastic and reconstructive surgery in Boca Raton for more than two decades. He is on staff exclusively at Boca Raton Regional Hospital and is renowned for the natural looking results he achieves for his patients. 

Cabrera attributes using an array of tools and techniques to regain a more youthful appearance. “No chipmunk cheeks or duck lips are allowed in my practice. Over-lasering the face or over-filling the cheeks and lips to hide every last wrinkle is not flattering. Ultimately, patients rely on my expertise, esthetic judgment and integrity,” he assures. 

Facelifts are among the most requested procedures Cabrera performs and are an effective way to achieve a refreshed and renewed appearance. He explains the intricate procedure he has perfected over decades in simple terms: A good facelift means you look beautifully natural without anyone knowing you’ve had work done. “Tightening the muscle layer and ligaments are often necessary to get a more youthful contour. Adding volume with natural tissue, like your own fat and stem cells, will augment and rejuvenate your face by replacing facial deflation associated with aging,” he says. 

Men are equally as interested in aging gracefully and benefit from Cabrera’s expertise. “Since men now work longer, retire at an older age and can maintain muscle mass by exercising, it is important to have their faces match their bodies. Droopy eyes and sagging necks are in stark contrast from their otherwise sharp, on-the-ball appearances and physiques. Eye and neck procedures can greatly improve their appearance,” Cabrera explains.
