Dr. Mario Yco in Encinitas holds dual board certification from the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, earning Fellow of the American College of Surgeons designation. His UCSF School of Medicine training underpins a surgical scope spanning revision rhinoplasty, deep-plane facelifts, and blepharoplasty, a reconstructive skill set that complements the non-surgical dermatology work at SOM Aesthetics. A former United States Navy corpsman, he channels that precision-driven background into facial reconstructive and cosmetic procedures at YCO Facial Plastic Surgery on Santa Fe Drive near Encinitas Community Park. The practice's non-surgical division administers Versa hyaluronic acid fillers, Dysport neuromodulators, and PDO thread lifts under direct surgeon oversight, integrating injectable maintenance with long-term surgical care plans that patients often pair with post-procedural skin recovery at Revive Med Spa. Complex cases include ePTFE and silicone facial implant placement for chin and cheek augmentation, shaped intra-operatively to match individual skeletal anatomy.
