Anthony A. Admire's Speciality Procedures

Anthony A. Admire specializes in cosmetic surgery of the face (facelifts, neck lifts, eyelid surgery, browlifts, rhinoplasty), breast (breast lifts & breast augmentation, breast reductions, implant exchanges, and challenging revisions), and body (tummy tucks, buttocks augmentation, liposuction, arm, and thigh lifts). He is well known and sought after nationally for his deep plane face and neck lifts. 

Anthony A. Admire’s signature techniques for facial rejuvenation allow for fast healing, sometimes without any need for drains or compression garments. These methods have been perfected over time, and produce consistent, natural-looking results for his patients, with many of them going so far as to travel from all parts of the country to seek out Anthony A. Admire for facial plastic surgery in Scottsdale.

He also appreciates the life-changing transformation he sees his “mommy makeover” (tummy tucks, usually with a breast procedure) patients undergo. Anthony A. Admire is also dedicated to breast reconstruction, and has been a part of multiple local and national organizations that help fund awareness, provide resources, and facilitate educational programs. He performs many types of breast reconstruction, including nipple sparing direct to implant, autologous tissue, fat transfer, post-radiated breast defects, as well as accepting all challenging revisions.

Additionally, Anthony A. Admire and his wife own a successful skin care practice, called AdmireMD®Skin Clinic, that provides a wide variety of non-invasive procedures for both the face and body, including BOTOX & fillers, laser services, hair restoration, and much more.
