Physician-led non-surgical facial rejuvenation & plastic surgery
Two board-certified physicians
Thoughtful aesthetic medicine, naturally.
Santa Barbara's physician-led practice for plastic surgery and non-surgical facial rejuvenation — including injectables, laser and regenerative treatments — with two board-certified physicians and one philosophy: natural outcomes and care that lasts a lifetime.
We don't ask what treatment you'd like today. We ask what has changed — and why. From that conversation comes a plan — surgical, non-surgical, or both — built around you.
Complementary expertise, shared judgment
Allison Pontius, MD
Over two decades of experience, dedicated exclusively to advanced non-surgical facial rejuvenation — injectables, laser and regenerative aesthetics, grounded in a deep understanding of facial anatomy and precision technique.
A national conference speaker and trainer for leading companies in the aesthetics industry, she delivers refined, natural-looking results tailored to each patient's features.

Injectables, laser & regenerative aesthetics
In our Santa Barbara practice, the face is assessed holistically — balance, proportion, structure, movement — never isolated areas or chased lines. The outcome is never "done." It is simply you — at your most rested, luminous, and well-composed.

Breast & body plastic surgery
Breast and body plastic surgery in Santa Barbara — proportion first, healing planned as carefully as the procedure. Results designed around your anatomy, proportion and long-term outcome — not a passing aesthetic trend.
The signature work
Breast & body work
Planned to suit your frame and skin quality, so results settle well.
Gynecomastia→
Reducing excess male breast tissue for a flatter, firmer chest. Body
Fat transfer→
Your own fat, refined and placed to restore natural shape. Breast & body
Proportion first. Healing planned as carefully as the procedure.
Dr. Polynice is trusted for the complex cases — including revisions of work done elsewhere. After significant weight loss, the Body Renewal Program restores skin and shape.
Nutrition, labs, and tissue conditioning begin 6–12 weeks before surgery — better prepared patients heal better.
A diagnostic consultation with Dr. Polynice — contour, tissue quality, and timing before any procedure is discussed.
Thoughtful technique — elegant scars, natural tissue support, proportion designed to hold up over years.
A structured, physician-guided healing program through six months — scar optimization and tissue recovery, by design.
From patients, unprompted.
“At no time did I feel pressured… They look completely natural — but fantastic. As though I've had this size my whole life.”
“Dr. Pontius really is a Master Injector… She really took the time to listen to me and my concerns. I will never go anywhere else.”
“Hands down the best at sculpting, shaping and achieving a natural look. I couldn't be happier with my new body.”
“Her ability to study the human face and thoughtfully enhance each patient's natural beauty is truly exceptional.”
“Not only a competent surgeon, but a perfectionist — and most importantly, an artist. I could not be happier with my results.”
“Twenty years, three cities, several providers — Dr. Pontius is absolutely one of the best. Her technique, expertise and personality are stellar.”
“The results far exceeded my expectations… Truly a 10/10 experience.”
“She is so soft handed I can't even feel anything at all… Allison always listens and delivers exactly what I want.”
You should look rested, and like yourself — never manufactured.
