Dr. Edward O. Terino has been practicing in the Conejo Valley for over 20 years. A graduate of Amherst College, Dr. Terino completed a full 7 years of general surgery training at Yale University School of Medicine.  He brings a unique combination of art and surgical technique to his practice. He is probably THE TOP implant specialist in the world. Dr. Terino literally wrote the only medical textbook in the field, The Art Of Alloplastic Contouring, and he has developed his own special line of facial implants that are specifically designed to be much more natural looking and naturally contouring than previous products on the market.

     Dr. Terino has raised the field of facial implant enhancement to a new level. The textbook begins with a comprehensive synopsis of the evaluation of facial aesthetics followed by a unique approach to facial aesthetics using specific zonal facial anatomical areas. This zonal analysis of anatomy facial typing and zonal deficiencies is used by the alloplastic facial surgeons throughout the world. This teaches the alloplastic facial surgeon to look at very specific and precise areas of the face for maximum facial enhancement and improvement. If you are considering cheek implants, chin implants, jaw implants, Dr. Terino is the guru to consult.

     Always the humanitarian, he worked voluntarily at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital, in Haiti, and also throughout Central and South America, helping impoverished people by performing free surgeries on deformed and maimed children. 

     Dr. Terino is not only world renowned for his accomplishments as a plastic surgery practitioner, but also as an innovator in the specialized new techniques of three-dimensional facial contouring. He is one of the few pioneers to develop the latest upper and midface vertical lifting and suspension technology, which he calls Somme Lift. He also is the designer of natural looking cheek and chin implants which provide solutions for flat cheeks, small jaw lines, and weak facial contours. Dr. Terino’s approach to each patient is caring and individualized and combines a highly refined eye for aesthetic detail.

     Dr. Terino was recently honored with a Traveling Professor award from the prestigious American Society for Aesthetic Surgery, which means that he is constantly going around the country giving lectures and speaking to other physicians to teach them his unique techniques.
