He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Dr. Mendieta has been named one of America’s Top Surgeons for five years in a row by the Consumer Research Council in America and frequently lectures around the world.
Alexander P. Moya, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon, has been employed by Geisinger Health System (Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, PA) since completion of his surgical training in 2002. He is currently the Director of Geisinger’s Center for Aesthetics and Cosmetic Surgery and for the Weight Loss Body Contouring Program.
Dr. Moya grew up in northern Virginia and pursued his pre-med education at Virginia Tech, graduating with a B.S. degree with honors in Biology. He received his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine, and completed his internship and residency training in general surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center of Greater Miami. Dr. Moya then completed his surgical training with a fellowship in plastic surgery from the University of Utah.
Dr. Moya’s clinical practice is solely dedicated to the cosmetic patient and includes all aspects of aesthetic surgery from facial rejuvenation to body contouring. He has a special interest and many years of surgical experience in weight loss body contouring, which led him to develop the corset body lift (corset trunkplasty).
In addition to his practice experience, Dr. Moya is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS) and a distinguished member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery(ISAPS), a select group of plastic surgeons who have attained high levels of achievement in cosmetic surgery training, education, and experience. He also participates in the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Maintenance of Certification Program™ (Plastic Surgery).

As the foremost authority on SAFELipo, he has published, lectured, and presented extensively on this topic. Dr. Wall‘s Louisiana cosmetic surgery patients have been featured in magazines such as Playboy, Woman’s World, and Allure, and have been seen on The Discovery Channel and E!, among others.
Mr Marc Pacifico MD FRCS(Plast) has been described as one of the UK’s rising stars in plastic surgery. His academic, surgical and practice achievements include, amongst others, coming top in the UK’s consultant level plastic surgery examinations (being awarded the Gold Medal), the publication of over 50 international peer-reviewed papers, being a regular invited speaker at conferences and the opening of his own private clinic, Purity Bridge, alongside his busy public and private surgical practices.
He has built his reputation on a combination of a high level of surgical skill, an industrious work ethic and a personal, friendly approach to patient care. His publications include both aesthetic and reconstructive papers, with special reference to correction of the tuberous breast.
In the ever-evolving aesthetic arena, Marc recognizes the continuum between non-surgical and surgical techniques, using all available options to formulate a bespoke treatment plan for every patient. This process has been further enabled in his practice by the opening of his private clinic, Purity Bridge, that offers a wide range of treatments.
The art of rejuvenation is not a “one stop shop” but rather a process, with the right procedure required at the right time for the right outcome. That means maintaining surgical results with specifically timed non-surgical interventions, as well as a global approach to the individual that is outcome driven.
Marc Pacifico is a fully accredited specialist in plastic surgery, and is on the Specialist Register in Plastic Surgery with the UK’s General Medical Council & a member of BAAPS, BAPRAS and ISAPS.
