Illuminate Plastic Surgery

About Illuminate Plastic Surgery

Illuminate Plastic Surgery is a South Bay practice with an office at 101 Addison Avenue in Palo Alto. The group also has offices in San Jose and Morgan Hill, plus a skin-focused location called Illuminate Skin. The practice describes itself as a combined plastic surgery, med spa and wellness center.

David Boudreault, MD, FACS is the owner and founder. On the practice's about page he writes that patients may come looking for a more youthful look, to change a feature or to correct the effects of cancer or a traumatic injury. He says that during a consultation he takes time to understand each patient's wishes before making recommendations based on their anatomy and current techniques. The practice says it has a QUAD A-accredited private surgical facility and refers to surgery facilities near its Palo Alto and San Jose offices. Ask where your procedure would take place during the consultation.
