San Francisco Plastic Surgeon

Whether you are interested in nose surgery, breast augmentation, or liposuction, San Francisco plastic surgeon Joseph A. Mele, M.D., F.A.C.S. can help you achieve your goals. His practice, which is located near San Francisco in Walnut Creek, offers exceptional care and efficiency.

Dr. Mele is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and the American Board of Surgery (ABS). He is also a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

Some of the other procedures that this San Francisco plastic surgeon offers his patients include:

  • Ear pinning surgery: Technically referred to as "otoplasty," ear pinning corrects unusually large or protruding ears. During this procedure, excess cartilage and tissue are removed and the ears are stitched closely towards the head.

  • Inverted nipple correction: If your nipple lays flush with the areola, or it pulls inward, this can cause problems. Women who are breastfeeding may especially have complications. Fortunately, our San Francisco plastic surgery professional, Dr. Mele, can rearrange the nipple and reconstruct it outward, often leaving the milk duct intact in the process.

  • Male breast reduction: "Gynecomastia" is a condition in which fatty deposits accumulate on a man's chest; this can create the appearance of small breasts. To correct this condition, San Francisco cosmetic surgeon Dr. Mele will make incisions in the underarm or areola, before removing excess fat and tissue.

If you are also interested in non-surgical procedures that can effectively reduce wrinkles and take away age spots, you may want to consider:

  • Botox ®
  • Injectable fillers
  • Laser skin resurfacing
