Dr. Dean Johnston

Plastic Surgeon

My name is Dr. Dean Johnston. I am an Orlando-based plastic surgeon specializing in cosmetic medicine and surgery for men and women. I provide a full-range of surgical procedures, including facial rejuvenation, eyelid surgery, liposuction, breast enhancement and reconstruction. I also offer non-invasive procedures that provide quick, safe and satisfying results for people looking to reverse the signs of aging.

I love helping my patients to look younger, to be more attractive and to feel better about themselves. If you want your outside to reflect the beautiful person you are on the inside. I can make your dream a reality.

I blend the skill and precision of a surgeon with the critical eye of an artist and I use high-tech advances to achieve the best results. Most importantly, I am a board-certified Plastic Surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with more than 20 years of experience, so I know exactly how to respond to any medical situation to ensure your safety.

I am a native Floridian. Born and raised in Orlando, a Boone High School graduate, and comes from a long line of Healthcare professionals. My father and brother are distinguished surgeons and my mother, two sisters and my wife are Registered Nurses. Medicine has long been my calling and given me fulfillment in helping others. I consider myself to be particularly fortunate to have my wife, Kathy work along side me as my nurse and Practice Concierge.

I have had the pleasure of working for Dr. Johnston since 2001. I was fortunate to take a 2-year hiatus to get married, have my daughter and enjoy some time being a stay-at-home Mom and returned to the practice in early 2010. I am very blessed to work for such a talented, caring and compassionate physician. Dr. Johnston truly cares about his patients overall well being and treats his staff as if they were his family.
