In order to be a good doctor, it is important that you treat each patient as if they were your grandmother, mother, wife, sister or daughter. Each patient is special and they should be made to feel that way.
~ Julio C. Novoa, M.D.
As a Cosmetic OB/GYN Dr. Novoa practices a multi-disciplinary "Minimally Invasive Surgery" approach to the management of women's health care. The philosophy of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is fundamentally based on the practice of medical techniques that prevent surgery, and, when surgery is necessary, it is the practice of surgical techniques that minimize scarring and shorten the period of postoperative recovery. It promotes the completion of surgical procedures in an office-based setting which is safer, less expensive, and less invasive as compared to the same procedure under general anesthesia in a hospital setting.
As such, Dr. Novoa is an expert in fully conscious or AWAKE anesthesia and routinely performs OBGYN and Cosmetic surgery without the need for IV sedation or General Anesthesia in his Level III Office Based Surgical Center.
These procedures include colposcopy, Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP), Intrauterine Device (IUD) insertion, and hysteroscopy.
Dr. Novoa also uses AWAKE anesthesia for more advanced surgeries such as Cesarean Section scar revision, Breast Augmentation, Liposuction, Lipoabdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck), Fat Transfer Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and Vaginal Esthetic Surgery ( Labiaplasty, Clitoral Hood Reduction, Hymenoplasty, Labial Fat Transfer, Vaginal Rejuvenation and Virginal Size Restoration Surgery).

Dr. Novoa was instrumental in the removal of this device from the world market in 2017.
