The plastic surgical procedures at the Plastic Surgery Institute of San Francisco range from cosmetic to reconstructive surgery for the body, breast, and face area for men and women. These specialized procedures are performed by Board Certified plastic surgeons in our office’s private surgical facility. We specialize in cosmetic surgery procedures such as a facelift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), fore head lift, endoscopic brow lift, chin and cheek implants, nose job (rhinoplasty), ear pinning (otoplasty), scar revision, breast augmentation, reconstruction, or reduction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), liposuction (lipo), arm lifts, and thigh lifts.
In addition to the surgical practice at the Plastic Surgery Institute of San Francisco that focuses on procedures such as facelifts, lipo, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, and so forth, we also have a less-invasive practice dedicated to Botox, injectable fillers, facials, peels, and microdermabrasions. With a certified aesthetician on staff, patients are able to have relaxing and rejuvenating facials while using our in-house product Face Forward by Dr. John Owsley which leaves them feeling refreshed.

Co-directed by Dr. Gregory Buncke and Dr. John Owsley, the Plastic Surgery Institute of San Francisco is partnered with The Buncke Clinic of San Francisco and San Mateo, an Institute established in 1970 and recognized worldwide for its specialty of Reconstructive and Microsurgery of the Hand. With extensive experience in microsurgery of the hand, reconstructive surgery, and facial and body plastic surgery, our plastic surgeons are experts in the field of aesthetic or cosmetic procedures. Our surgeons have diverse backgrounds that have collectively led them to revolutionize plastic surgery through the development of different techniques and approaches to surgical procedures that have been adapted worldwide.
Everything needs a structure. Your skin gets its structure—and its strength—from a fibrous protein called collagen. About 80 percent of your skin consists of collagen fibers. Collagen works in tangent with another protein, elastin, which provides skin its flexibility—its ability to stretch and then “spring back” to its original shape. Unfortunately, aging and sun exposure weaken collagen, eventually leading to some of the most tell-tale signs of advancing years: lines, wrinkles, and folds.
Several non-surgical skin treatments can help you can slow down and even reverse the breakdown of collagen in your skin. For example, laser therapy, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels can help stimulate the creation of new collagen. And dermal fillers can be strategically used to replenish lost natural collagen. New, more effective collagen-enhancing treatments and products become available every year. To learn about the wide variety of options available to you—and to determine which of the latest options is truly best for your skin—schedule a personal consultation with your physician. Do it today. Time—and the breakdown of your skin’s collagen—marches on!
