General Surgery
To be ABPS board-certified, a physician must meet these tough requirements: Must graduate from an accredited school. Complete a combination of at least five years of general surgery and plastic surgery residency training. Pass a comprehensive written examination given by ABPS plastic surgeons. Take the oral exam. It does not stop there. After receiving there Board Certification, they have to regularly attend medical education courses, and have to adhere to a strict code of ethics. All surgeries performed must be done in an accredited surgical facility
Orthopedics
Many patients don’t know that, in most states, a licensed physician may perform plastic surgery without being board-certified. Patients commonly ask the surgeon if they’re board-certified when they should be asking if the surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. No one wants a surgeon to perform a facelift or breast augmentation when they’re certified in orthopedics and not plastic surgery.
Ear Surgery
The typical ear surgery candidate is a patient between the ages of 4 and 14 who is affected by the appearance of protruding or malformed ears. It is important that the ears have fully developed before any surgical procedure is performed. Adolescents who are undergoing the procedure should be in good health. During a comprehensive pre-surgery consultation, Dr. Johns will evaluate the patient’s candidacy for the procedure, make recommendations for treatment, and address any questions or concerns that the parents or patients may have.
Reconstructive Surgery
American Board of Plastic Surger y: A certifying body for plastic and reconstructive surgery, recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties, which was established as a subsidiary of the American Board of Surgery in 1938.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Botox:* Very affordable, non-surgical procedure that is widely known for its ability to smooth wrinkles in the forehead and the crow’s feet area. The procedure takes only minutes to perform and has no recovery time.
Brow Lift
Traditional brow lift surgery is generally recommended for patients who require removal of a significant amount of skin, or those who exhibit more progressed signs of aging. During this procedure, Dr. Johns makes a larger incision across the hairline. He then removes any excess tissue and pulls the skin up to smooth wrinkles. This procedure just as effective as endoscopic brow lift surgery, however it generally requires more healing time.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery patients experience swelling and minor discomfort in the days following the procedure. They are encouraged to rest with the head elevated for at least 24 hours. Some patients experience blurry vision for up to a week, after which they can return to work and other routine activities. Protective eyewear should be worn for a few weeks after surgery to protect the eyes from any type of irritation. Dr. Johns will provide thorough post-operative instructions, as well as eye drops to help alleviate any discomfort and ensure a fast and safe healing time. He and his dedicated staff are available around the clock to address any questions or concerns that may arise during the recovery period.
Liposuction
Brazilian butt lift is a unique procedure that involves removing fat from one area of the body and injecting it into the buttocks. This procedure is performed at Dr. Johns’ state-of-the-art surgery center near Pittsburgh, PA. Dr. Johns uses liposuction to extract fat from either the abdomen or thighs. This fat is then purified before it is re-injected into the buttocks. Results from this procedure are immediately evident, although some touch-up treatments may be required for optimal results.
Breast Augmentation
If you’ve decided to undergo breast augmentation surgery, you have several decisions to make about your breast implants and procedure in Pittsburgh. Dr. Francis Johns will review your options with you and make his professional recommendations based on factors such as your body type, desired surgical outcome, medical history and lifestyle. He encourages you to research your options so you can have an informed conversation and ask him specific questions during your consultation.
Breast Reduction
Ideal candidates for male breast reduction in Pittsburgh are men who are over the age of 18 and are unhappy with the appearance of excess breast tissue. It is important that patients are in good health and have already gone through puberty, as changes to hormone levels can have an effect on breast size. Most individuals who undergo male breast reduction are patients who have not seen a change in their chest size, even with dedicated exercise. Candidates should also be at or near their ideal weight, as weight fluctuations can have an effect on the final outcome of the procedure. Male breast reduction patients should not smoke, as this can increase the risk of complications during and after treatment. During a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Johns will evaluate the patient’s candidacy for the procedure, make recommendations for treatment and address any questions or concerns.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery can be a life-changing procedure that increases your self-esteem and helps you achieve the ideal you. Scheduling a consultation is the best way to learn more about your journey.
Rhinoplasty
I can’t thank you enough for the results of the rhinoplasty procedure you performed on me...It looks fantastic! It’s exactly what I wanted it to look like. Thanks again!
Breast Reconstruction
Women who have had one or both of their breasts removed through mastectomy may consider breast reconstruction to restore their figure and improve their self-esteem. It is important that women who undergo breast reconstruction have completed all breast cancer treatments and are cancer free. Breast reconstruction candidates should also be in a healthy mental state at the time of the procedure, and should have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of surgery. Women who undergo breast reconstruction also should not smoke. Patients who do smoke will need to quit for a period of time before and after the procedure.
Plastic Surgery
Laser skin resurfacing is a versatile procedure which can be used to turn back the clock on signs of aging on the skin. This procedure removes dull, aged skin and reveals a new, glowing layer of skin. Laser skin resurfacing can be used on many areas of the body including the face, arms, neck, chest and hands. It is a popular procedure among plastic surgery patients who have experience sun damage.
Thigh Lift
During inner thigh lift surgery, Dr. Johns makes an incision near the groin. Through this incision he removes excess skin and fat, before gently lifting the skin and tissue to create a smooth, toned look. During outer thigh lift surgery, which is ideal for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight, the incision extends around the hip at the belt line. Finally, during vertical thigh lift surgery, an incision is made from the groin to the knee. Although this leaves a visible scar when the legs are exposed, it is the best option for patients who have a moderate amount of fat and skin to be removed. After Dr. Johns makes the necessary changes, the incisions are closed with sutures.
Face Lift
The ideal mini-facelift candidate is 35 years of age or older and is unhappy with loose, sagging skin or wrinkles around the jawline, lower cheeks and neck. It should be noted that the procedure can also be performed on younger patients who are experiencing mild to moderate signs of aging. Patients who exhibit signs of severe facial aging throughout the face may be better suited for traditional facelift surgery. It is important that Pittsburgh mini-facelift patients are in good health and do not smoke. Patients who do smoke will need to quit for a period of time before and after the procedure, as smoking increases the risk of surgical complications. Patients should also have healthy motivations and realistic expectations about the procedure. During a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Johns will evaluate the patient’s candidacy for the procedure, make treatment recommendations and address any questions or concerns.
Blepharoplasty
The typical eyelid surgery candidate is a patient in their 40s or older who is experiencing signs of aging around the eyes, including puffiness, under-eye bags, wrinkles or sagginess. Because people age differently, the procedure may be performed on younger patients, as well. Patients should also be in good health and should not smoke. Patients who do smoke will need to quit for a period of time before and after surgery. It is also important for Pittsburgh blepharoplasty patients to have healthy motivations and realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the procedure. During a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Johns will evaluate the patient’s candidacy and address any questions or concerns that may arise.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty:* Also known as a “tummy tuck”, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the abdominal area. Abdominal muscles may also be tightened during this procedure, which is performed to create a flatter, firmer stomach.
Nose Surgery
The recovery period for rhinoplasty will vary from patient to patient based on the extent of changes made to the nose. Most patients who undergo nose surgery in Pittsburgh will experience some minor discomfort, bruising and swelling in the days after surgery. Dr. Johns will prescribe medication to alleviate any of these symptoms and promote a safe and comfortable recovery period. Patients are encouraged to keep the head elevated as much as possible in the 48 hours after treatment. Nasal packing and splints will be removed about one week after surgery, at which time patients can return to work and other routine activities. More strenuous activities and content sports should be avoided for several weeks after treatment. Although some results from rhinoplasty surgery are apparent immediately, it can take up to a year for the nose to take its final form.
Body Lift
The ideal body lift candidate is someone who is at or near their ideal weight, but is unhappy with the appearance of loose, sagging skin left behind. It is important that the patient’s weight has been stable for several months prior to the procedure, as significant weight fluctuations can have a negative effect on the outcome of the procedure. Pittsburgh body lift candidates should not smoke. Those who do will need to quit for a period of time before and after the procedure. Patients should also have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the procedure. During a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Johns will evaluate a patient’s candidacy for the procedure, make recommendations for treatment and address any questions or concerns.
Otoplasty
Dr. Johns performs all otoplasty procedures at his state-of-the-art surgical facility in Greensburg, PA. The length of the procedure will vary based on the extent and nature of changes being made. The ear pinning procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, and on an outpatient basis. During surgery, Dr. Johns makes an incision behind the ear before reshaping existing cartilage and removing excess skin. He may also use stitches and sutures to reposition the ear. In some cases, Dr. Johns may also make changes to the shape of the ears to make them more symmetrical and in better harmony with the rest of the facial features.
Body Contouring
Mommy makeover is not an individual procedure; rather, it refers to a combination of body contouring procedures that are designed to lift and firm the body, particularly areas that have been affected by pregnancy such as the breasts, tummy, thighs and buttocks. Typically, mommy makeover surgery involves the following procedures...
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia Surgery: Gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement, is a condition that is not often discussed, but that can affect as many as 50 percent of all men in varying degrees of severity, often causing some awkwardness and embarrassment. This procedure will result in a more flat and smooth chest area, and will ease feelings of self-consciousness.
Cosmetic Surgery
The new generation of fillers, such as Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm, consist of a substance that is normally found between cells and is used to fill and smooth skin creases and wrinkles. Results from this cosmetic surgery procedure last approximately 6-9 months and recent studies show that there may be some long-lasting improvement, possibly due to new collagen growth. Administering these fillers generally takes around 20 minutes with little to no recovery time necessary.
Dermabrasion
Bariatric Surgery
For men and women who have lost a significant amount of weight – whether through diet and exercise alone, or with the help of bariatric surgery – seeing the numbers on the scale drop is only half the battle. Many patients who experience massive weight loss are unable to enjoy their healthier physique due to the presence of sagging skin or the lack of firmness in their features. It is not until these issues are addressed that they can truly step into their new lifestyle. While exercise can go a long way toward firming up the body, in many cases post-bariatric patients will need to pursue a cosmetic procedure in order to achieve their aesthetic goals. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Francis Johns is pleased to offer combination procedures, including body lift surgery, to help patients look and feel their best, and finally enjoy the benefits of their hard work.

This procedure can also correct droopy upper eyelids. Because everyone ages differently, the procedure can also be performed on younger patients. Pittsburgh brow lift patients should be in good health and should not smoke. Patients who do smoke will need to quit for a period of time before and after surgery. It is also important for forehead lift patients to have healthy motivations and realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the procedure.
