Expertise You Can Trust — Nearly 30 Years of It Dr. Thornton is a double board-certified plastic surgeon and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), with an additional fellowship in facial aesthetics and oculoplastics. A 25-year member of ASAPS and co-founder of The Plastic Surgery Channel, he is one of the most credentialed facial surgeons in the region — and one of the most trusted. Peers consult him on difficult cases. Other surgeons refer patients to him for corrective work.

Natural Results — That's Not a Cliché. It's His Promise. Every facelift at Meridian Plastic Surgery is built around one non-negotiable outcome: a result so natural, no one can tell you had anything done. Using the latest endoscopic surgical techniques and meticulous, gentle methods, Dr. Thornton restores your facial contours and definition — without the pulled, overdone look that puts most patients off surgery in the first place.

A Smoother, Supported Recovery Every patient receives a personalised post-operative care plan including in-office MedSpa treatments — laser, injectables, autologous fat grafting, and more — to reduce downtime, optimise healing, and help you see your best results as quickly as possible. Dr. Thornton and his team are available 24/7 from day one through to your final result.
