Dr. Victor Steven Ferrari MD
Plastic Surgeon
1635 Matthews Township Pkwy Matthews NC, 28105About
Since 1987, Dr. Ferrari has used his medical knowledge, skills, and artistic talents to enhance the lives of over 10,000 patients. After completing top university residency training programs in general surgery, plastic surgery, and craniofacial surgery, he attained board certifications in General Surgery and Plastic Surgery. He has become a market leader in facial, breast, and body procedures. In fact, he has travelled internationally to educate other surgeons on his techniques. In the early 1990’s, he began performing endoscopic facial and body surgery through small incisions using fiber optics. He even taught a course in endoscopic breast augmentation that was attended by surgeons from as far away as Japan. Having done over 5,000 augmentations, he has perfected his skills to the point where patients have minimal (if any) bruising, swelling, and pain. He also contributed data to the FDA which eventually led to the release of silicone implants for general use in 2006. Dr. Ferrari has a well-deserved reputation of being a pioneer and humanitarian. He was the first surgeon in the county to use Power-Assisted Liposuction and the revolutionary Erchonia Laser-Assisted Liposuction. He has been featured many times on television and radio because keeps up with the latest advances. In addition, the American Medical Association has given him the coveted “Physician Recognition Award” four times for his outstanding efforts. He has also gone on medical mission trips to Honduras and Africa to perform free surgeries such as cleft lip repair or burn reconstruction on poverty-stricken patients. He has been featured in many publications such as “America’s Top Plastic Surgeons” *(by Consumer’s Research Council of America), “Guide to America’s Top Surgeons”, “Guide to America’s Top Plastic Surgeons”, “Leading Physicians of the World” (by the International Association of Plastic Surgeons), and “Marquis Who’s Who in Medicine and Healthcare”. In summary, very few surgeons have equal credentials as Dr. Ferrari and even fewer can match his outstanding natural-looking results. “I have dedicated my professional life to using my knowledge, skills, artistic abilities, and intense attention to details along with a sincere concern for my patient’s happiness to produce results that have lead to extremely high rates of patient satisfaction.”

What is a liquid face lift?
There are some basic treatments that can be used to rejuvenate a face without resorting to surgery. On a superficial level, the skin quality can be enhanced with advanced skin care products, microneedling, microdermabrasion, lasers, IPL, PRP, or other modalities depending on what sort of issues need to be resolved (i.e., wrinkles, age spots, red spots, visible blood vessels, etc.). Muscles that cause wrinkles with facial animation can be weakened with injections of products such as Botox or Dysport. If volume is needed back into the face (especially the upper cheeks), then there are multiple fillers or fat grafts that can be used (this is what most people consider a liquid facelift).
