This experience led him to pursue a career in the field of hair restoration so he could perfect the technique. Dr. Meshkin joined the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) and trained with pioneers in the field of hair restoration surgery.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Sandra Bouzaglou, MD, FACS, offers surgical and nonsurgical services at The Center for Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Lexington, Kentucky.
Dr. Bouzaglou was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and grew up in Southern California. At an early age, she decided to pursue a path in medicine. She graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, before obtaining her medical degree from the Chicago Medical School. She completed a general surgery residency at The University of Iowa.
Although Dr. Bouzaglou loved general surgery, her true passion was rooted in Plastic Surgery – helping her patients "Look Good" so they could "Feel Good." She admired the ability to make someone feel good about themselves through Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and went on to complete her Plastic Surgery residency at The University of Kentucky.
As their first female plastic surgery resident, she trained and learned from many leaders in the plastic surgery field. Now even after over 30 years of living out her dream as a Plastic Surgeon, she is constantly learning new techniques and improving her skills to give her patients the latest and greatest that Plastic Surgery has to offer.
In 1998, Dr. Bouzaglou opened Kentucky's first accredited outpatient center of its kind, The SurgiCenter, which is dedicated to providing a safe and private environment for patients. The SurgiCenter has successfully performed over 3,500 cases. For her first 25 years in practice, these procedures were performed under general anesthesia; however, since 2017, Dr. Bouzaglou and her team have eliminated the need for general anesthesia. They have found that with the use of oral sedation and local anesthesia, patients have a superior experience, recovering faster without the risks associated with general anesthesia. It has also opened the door to patients who would not have otherwise qualified for surgery because their anesthetic risk was too high.
The Center for Plastic Surgery and Med Spa also offers a wide range of nonsurgical services, from skin care and injectables to laser treatments for hair and pigment removal, as well as C02 laser for skin resurfacing and RF microneedling. The practice continually strives to provide the latest proven and the safest techniques and procedures that the field of Plastic Surgery has to offer.
Dr. Bouzaglou is board certified in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery and has been recognized by her peers as a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). She maintains membership with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Aesthetic Society and is affiliated with St. Joseph's East Hospital.
Dr. Bouzaglou and her husband were blessed to have raised their four children in Kentucky. With their children grown and now residing in California, Dr. Bouzaglou spends more time in California while still maintaining her practice in Kentucky. With the aid of the internet and Touch MD, The Center for Plastic Surgery has progressed to a virtual practice for consultations, although in-person consultations are available. Patients find the virtual experience more educational and much more efficient. Post-operatively, Dr. Bouzaglou's patients can communicate with her 24/7 without ever leaving their homes.
Dr. Bouzaglou looks forward to meeting you and satisfying your individual needs. Here's to making YOU look good so YOU can feel good!

Dr. Jeffrey A. Klein is a medical and surgical dermatologist practicing in San Juan Capistrano, California, at HK Dermatology. Dr. Klein has been a practicing dermatologist for nearly 40 years and is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology (UC Irvine), the American Board of Internal Medicine (UCLA), and the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. In addition, Dr. Klein has completed a National Institute of Health Research Fellowship in Clinical Pharmacology as well as advanced degrees in mathematics and biostatistics (UC Berkeley). Dr. Klein is a graduate of the University of California, San Francisco, (UCSF) School of Medicine. Dr. Klein is a clinical professor of Dermatology at UC Irvine. In November 2021, Dr. Klein was honored with the President's Award by the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery. The ASDS President’s Award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions over the years to the specialty and/or ASDS. In December 2021, Dr. Klein became one of the first dermatologists to achieve certification in Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery.
Dr. Klein devotes a significant portion of his professional research activities to clinical research involving medical dermatology, tumescent drug delivery for dermatologic diseases, and the clinical pharmacology of lidocaine local anesthesia. He is currently pursuing research for treating patients with the most severe pain of acute shingles (herpes zoster) and chronic postherpetic neuralgia. He has developed a technique for painless subcutaneous injection of tumescent lidocaine acyclovir (aka ZosterRx). In patients with acute painful shingles, ZosterRx abruptly eliminates the shingles pain and arrests the progression of the rash.
Dr. Klein has made groundbreaking medical advances in the dermatologic community. Dr. Klein is the inventor of tumescent lidocaine anesthesia (TLA), which is now the worldwide standard of care for liposuction and many other plastic surgical procedures. Virtually every plastic surgeon and dermatologic surgeon uses the “Klein Solution” for large surgeries involving skin or subcutaneous fat. Dr. Klein first described the tumescent technique for liposuction at a scientific meeting in 1986 and published his result in the Journal of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery in 1987. Prior to 1986, all liposuction surgeries were done under general anesthesia, and were associated with significant surgical blood loss and prolonged postoperative recovery of two or more weeks.
Dr. Klein’s innovative liposuction technique was the first of its kind, allowing surgeons to prevent significant surgical blood loss often associated with general anesthesia operations. The potential dangers and risks of liposuction are often associated with general anesthesia, excessively large volumes of liposuction done on a single day and combining liposuction with other unrelated procedures. Dr. Klein’s tumescent liposuction avoids all of these risk factors. Experience has shown that Dr. Klein’s tumescent liposuction is safer than laser liposuction and ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) and is less painful and far more effective than CoolSculpt and other non-invasive fat reducing technologies.
Within a few years, tumescent liposuction became the worldwide standard of care. A Google search for: “Jeffrey Klein” Liposuction, yields more than 10,000 listings. More than 800 surgeons from around the world have traveled to San Juan Capistrano to attend Dr. Klein’s tumescent liposuction course known as Liposuction 101. Dr. Klein is active in research and teaching at the University of California, Irvine. Dr. Klein continues to perform the world’s safest and most comfortable form of liposuction with the quickest recovery and the best cosmetic results. At HK Dermatology, safety and patient comfort are Dr. Klein highest priorities.

He introduced advanced Mohs micrographic surgery with intra-operative immunostaining to UCLA, pioneered groundbreaking work for the treatment of early-stage melanomas on the head and neck developed UCLA’s first Mohs Surgery for Melanoma program. He also pioneered the creation and utilization of advanced intra-operative immunostaining during surgery for high-risk, complex and rare-skin cancers, which allowed for much higher tumor cure rates and greater successful clearance of the most challenging tumors. As a result of his pioneering work, Dr. Soleymani was able to make tremendous improvements in patient outcomes and quality of care.
In addition to clinical patient care, Dr. Soleymani remains robustly active in academic research, continuing to publish numerous scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and book chapters in textbooks. He has lectured and continues to present at local, regional, and national academic conferences and remains active in clinical and translational research regarding dermatologic oncology and surgical reconstruction. He is considered by many to be a key thought leader and national expert in skin cancer treatment.
In his spare time, Dr. Soleymani enjoys spending quality time with his wife and sons, staying active, and traveling.
