This is the best place to go hands down! The Doctor and Staff always went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and happy. I even get text and calls from their Nurce's before surgery just to check in to see if I had questions and post op to see how I am. Thank you thank you so much! I really look forward to doing more here and I'm even more happy about my results =) thanks for making this a fun and smooth process you all are amazing! This is the most skilled plastic surgon around here guaranteed I wouldent evem consider anyone else.
I cannot say enough about my incredible experience with Dr. Nana Mizuguchi! This is the second time he’s performed a breast augmentation for me, the first one was 16 years ago. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. On top of that, I recently underwent a drainless tummy tuck with Dr. Mizuguchi, and the outcome has been absolutely life-changing.After struggling with very visible scars and a lump on my stomach from previous surgeries, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, Dr. Mizuguchi gave me a beautifully flat and toned stomach. I never imagined he would be able to fix the lump I had from a colostomy bag, but he did. I never thought I’d feel this confident in my own skin again! The fact that the tummy tuck was drainless made the recovery process much easier and more comfortable than I ever anticipated. I was only off work for a week. As for my breast augmentation, this is the second time Dr. Mizuguchi has worked his magic, and once again, he delivered perfect results. He understood exactly what I was looking for and helped me achieve a look that’s both natural and balanced. His expertise, combined with his personalized approach, made me feel completely at ease throughout both of these surgeries.Dr. Mizuguchi’s attention to detail, compassionate care, and commitment to achieving the best results are truly exceptional. I am so grateful for the time he took to listen to my concerns and customize each procedure to fit my goals. His entire team is also fantastic—supportive, professional, and kind.I highly recommend Dr. Mizuguchi to anyone considering cosmetic surgery as well as aesthetic procedures. I decided to get lip injections during a follow up visit and they are amazing also
Dr mizuguchi and his team are hands down the best! He is amazing! I would not go to anyone else, I trust him 100%. I drive over 2 hrs to see him. His office staff are amazing as well. They are very knowledgeable. If you call the office it does not matter who you talk to they all know what is going on and are able to help you and answer any question you have. They are professional, thorough, and caring. The office is beautiful as well. Dr mizuguchi never disappoints !
Wonderful! Can’t recommend enough. Every member of this team is so pleasant and so sweet! I felt so taken care of from start to finish. They have an excellent, upbeat, happy atmosphere which immediately puts you at ease. Everyone is very knowledgeable, kind and thorough. Such a beautiful clean environment, I honestly could not fault 1 thing about my experience! Thank you all!!!
Decided on 485 cc's under the muscle. I just had my surgery yesterday and so far so good! - I'm 30 years old and I have two kids, I've wanted implants for a long time, after I breastfed my youngest who is now 5 years old, I became very deflated and hated my chest, I was a 36D. I met my surgeon Dr. Mitzuguchi about a month ago and had a virtual consultation where we decided I'd need a lift and I showed him my wish pictures, at my pre op appointment I was able to go in and try on different sizes of implants and we decided on 485 cc's under the muscle, I just had my surgery yesterday and so far so good! I'm very happy with my results so far, and dr. Mitzuguchi and his staff are amazing, very pleasant to work with and very tentative to their patients needs. I'm pretty sore today but it's nothing too bad, I'm on muscle relaxers and pain killers, and I have my first post op visit on Monday!!!

what is Earlobe Repair?
Dr. Mizuguchi can perform earlobe repair surgery if you have experienced a tear in your earlobe due to piercings or trauma. This is generally a short, in-office procedure that requires local anesthesia and lasts around 30 minutes. You will need to come back a week later to have your sutures removed, and then you can have your ears re-pierced after about 6 – 8 weeks if you desire. There should be little downtime associated with this surgery, and you can enjoy your restored ear for potentially years to come.
how is ear surgery performed?
Otoplasty is an outpatient procedure that normally requires local anesthesia. Small incisions will be made around the ears to allow our surgeon better access to the cartilage. Cartilage can then be manipulated through removal, reshaping, and reforming to repair the ears for an improved, symmetrical look. Excess skin from the ear can also be removed if needed. The length of ear pinning surgery depends on the technique and the condition of your ears.

About Ushow long is recovery after ear surgery?
Following ear surgery, the ears will be dressed to provide protection. The dressing will remain in place for around five days for children and two days for adults. There’s little pain or discomfort during otoplasty recovery, but you should expect to experience tenderness and swelling. It’s crucial that pediatric patients not touch or bother their ears while they are healing. Results are long standing and should provide years of positive benefits for everyone.

Ear Surgery FAQs
How much does ear surgery cost?
Ear surgery costs will be based on what is being performed (ear pinning, shaping, earlobe repair, or a combination of these). Once our team has listened to your concerns and goals, they can create your treatment plan and estimate expenses. In order to focus on getting the outcomes that you need rather than prices, Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery accepts several payment methods, and we will help you find low-interest financing.
Will the results of ear surgery last?
Normally, the ears mature faster compared to other areas of the body and face, which is the reason why ear surgery can be carried out on younger patients with long-lasting outcomes. Our team will evaluate the ears and then talk to you about realistic expectations along with how long the outcomes should last. Even as the face and body can change due to gravity and age, the impact on the ears will probably be minimal. If there are significant modifications to your ears because of an injury, a second surgery could be done.
How old should my child be to consider otoplasty?
Normally, children about 5 – 6 years old are ideal candidates for ear surgery. While the ear is generally fully developed, the tissue and cartilage are still malleable, making it easy to reshape. This age is also great as it's before they begin school or early in their schooling, so that they can avoid teasing from their classmates. Even though many ear surgery patients are kids, Our team also performs ear surgery on adults.
Do I need to have both ears done or just one?
The most common problems, including ears that are too big or stick out, occur in both ears, so both will need to be fixed. During ear surgery, our team will shape both ears to make them as equal as possible. However, if just one ear needs to be altered, the size and shape will be altered to mirror the untreated ear. When we create your surgical plan, our team will let you know whether one or both ears need to be addressed.
What about fixing stretched or torn earlobes?
The popularity of ear gauges and big earrings have made earlobe repair a popular operation at Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery. If you're considering getting earlobe repair, schedule a consultation with our Louisville, KY team. We will examine the damage and discuss what could be done to repair your earlobes.
