About Dr. Ambro

Dr. Bryan Ambro is a board certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face, head and neck.

Dr. Ambro also offers the latest in non-surgical rejuvenation treatments including Botox^™, Dysport^™ and a number of injectable fillers (Retylane^™, Radiesse^™ and Sculptra^™ ).

Dr. Ambro has a diverse training background that includes painting and drawing, for which he has received several awards and a scholarship. Incorporating these fine arts skills into his clinical practice, Dr. Ambro strives to achieve natural-appearing results in each of his patients.

The goal of any rejuvenation procedure should be to restore lost features of youth in a balanced, natural fashion.”
