Meet Dr. Sheila Barbarino
Sheila Barbarino, MD, FAAO, FAACS, FACS is a renowned cosmetic surgeon and key opinion leader with locations in Austin, Texas and Redondo Beach, California.
Her credentials span two board certifications, fifteen years of published research, and a patient roster that reads like a who’s who of Los Angeles, Austin, New York, and beyond.
She teaches anatomy to other surgeons. She presents at international conferences. She has, quietly, redefined what is possible with a needle and a scalpel.
But that’s not why her patients keep coming back.
They come back because Dr. Barbarino has an eye—a rare, almost architectural understanding of what makes a face beautiful—and the surgical precision to realize exactly that. No more. No less.

Our Approach
Custom Designed. Surgeon Led.
Results this good don't happen by accident. Dr. Barbarino's proprietary approach to aesthetic design is built on the anatomical expertise of a fellowship-trained surgeon, the precision of an FDA clinical trial researcher, and an artist's instinct for what makes a face truly compelling.
-
Every face is its own architecture. Treatment plans are built for you—not adapted from a template.
-
The best results leave people wondering what changed. Knowing when not to treat is as important as knowing how.
-
We build long-term treatment relationships—results that evolve with you across every life stage, not just for the season.
-
Concierge care, surgical rigor, and an unwavering commitment to your outcome—from the first consultation to the final follow-up.
