His full range of procedures includes facelift and neck lift, blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid surgery), breast augmentation with Motiva implants, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and liposuction. He also offers nonsurgical facial rejuvenation, including Sculptra and platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
A graduate of Georgetown University School of Medicine, Dr. Economides serves on its Medical Alumni Board and teaches plastic surgery residents at Georgetown University Hospital, helping train the next generation of surgeons. He has been named a Top Doctor every year since 2019, has been quoted as an expert in Bloomberg, and lectures internationally at universities and medical conferences on advanced aesthetic surgery.
Patients choose Dr. Economides for his meticulous, results-driven surgical approach and his focus on natural-looking outcomes tailored to each individual. Every treatment plan begins with an in-depth consultation centered on listening to the patient's goals, explaining the options clearly, and designing a plan suited to their anatomy and lifestyle.
