Dr. Cara Downey: A Super Doctor Since 2017

At Heights Plastic Surgery, excellence is at the heart of everything we do. Dr. Cara Downey exemplifies this commitment to delivering world-class care. She has been recognized as a Super Doctor every year since 2017. This prestigious title, awarded to less than 5% of physicians, is a testament to her skill, dedication, and patient-first approach.

But what does it mean to be a Super Doctor? And why is this recognition so meaningful for our patients? Let’s take a closer look at this achievement, what it says about Dr. Downey’s work, and how it reflects the extraordinary care you can expect at Heights Plastic Surgery.

What Is the Super Doctors Award?

The Super Doctors program is one of the most respected physician recognition platforms in the medical field. It identifies outstanding doctors across more than 40 specialties, from oncology to dermatology and, of course, plastic surgery. Physicians don’t simply apply for this title—they’re nominated by their peers, who are asked to recommend colleagues they would trust with their own family’s care.

Once nominated, a doctor’s professional record is thoroughly evaluated. Factors like years of experience, board certifications, leadership positions, and contributions to medical research all come into play. The selection process is rigorous and unbiased, ensuring only the most exceptional physicians make the final list.

For patients, this distinction is an assurance that their doctor is highly skilled and deeply respected within the medical community. When you choose a Super Doctor, you’re choosing a physician who has proven their expertise, compassion, and commitment to excellence time and time again.

Behind the Scenes: The Commitment to Excellence

Dr. Downey’s recognition as a Super Doctor results from years of hard work, constant learning, and an unwavering focus on her patients. While her expertise in procedures like breast reconstruction and cosmetic enhancements is widely celebrated, much of what makes her exceptional happens behind the scenes.

Dr. Downey is committed to staying ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving field of plastic surgery. She regularly participates in advanced training programs and collaborates with other medical professionals to expand her knowledge and refine her techniques. She’s an active member of professional organizations like the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), which allows her to stay informed about the latest innovations and standards of care.

But it’s not just her technical skills that set her apart. Her ability to connect with her patients, understand their goals, and deliver results that align with their vision makes her exceptional. Her Super Doctor recognition is more than an award—it’s proof of her ongoing commitment to excellence in every aspect of her practice.

A Closer Look at Dr. Downey’s Philosophy

When it comes to plastic surgery, Dr. Downey takes a thoughtful, personalized approach. For her, it’s never about simply changing how someone looks—it’s about enhancing their confidence and helping them feel like the best version of themselves.

She takes the time to truly listen to her patients, understanding their motivations, concerns, and unique goals. This level of care ensures that every treatment plan is customized to suit the individual, delivering results that feel authentic and natural. Whether performing a life-changing breast reconstruction or a subtle cosmetic enhancement, Dr. Downey approaches each procedure with artistry, precision, and compassion.

Her philosophy is grounded in the belief that beauty is deeply personal. What works for one patient might not work for another—and that’s perfectly okay.
