About
Dr. Gina Maccarone: Triple Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeon
What do you call a surgeon who’s spent time in a trauma bay and has opinions about the cut of a leather jacket? The Surgeonista.
I’ve never believed a woman has to choose between being taken seriously and being fully herself. I don’t, and I don’t think you should have to either. That belief is the whole reason this practice exists — and it’s the reason I do this work the way I do.
I’m a fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeon offering a full range of procedures for the face, breast, and body. I don’t believe in templates. The trends, the standard package, the one-size transformation — that’s not what I do. Every person who sits across from me arrives with a different history, a different psychology, and a different goal, and the work is to understand that specific person before we ever talk about a procedure. Sometimes that means a thoughtful, beautifully executed surgery. Sometimes it means refining something small that’s quietly been taking up space in your head for years. And sometimes the most honest thing I can tell you is that you don’t need anything at all. I’d rather tell you the truth than sell you a result. I’m with my patients from the first consultation through the full arc of recovery. My patients are not handed off, not forgotten once the surgery’s done. I treat the people in my care like I’d treat someone I love: warmly, attentively, and honestly enough to tell you what you might not want to hear.
EDUCATION & TRAINING
A University of Notre Dame graduate, Dr. Maccarone subsequently attended medical school at the University of Cincinnati. She completed general surgery residency at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati and also Surgical Critical Care at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. After 13 years practicing general surgery, Dr. Maccarone’s artistic eye led her to pursue cosmetic surgery. She completed a 1 year American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) accredited fellowship to obtain her board certification.
