Dr. Melancon and the entire team at Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery have been kind, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process—from consultation to surgery and post-op follow-ups. I had both an upper and lower blepharoplasty, and Dr. Melancon’s attention to detail and expertise were evident at every step. She has a keen eye for both aesthetics and recovery, ensuring the best possible outcome. I trust her guidance and recommendations completely, not only as an expert in anatomy but also in the artistry of surgery. I’m incredibly pleased with my experience and highly recommend her to anyone considering facial plastic surgery!

I highly recommend Dr. Melancon! She has expertly crafted a unique and welcoming patient experience. I got Botox for the first time (ever!) at her clinic and walked away wanting to tell everyone to go see her! From a beautiful and relaxing office space that instantly calmed my nerves (I hate needles), to her patience with my questions and easy-to-talk to approach - I had the best experience and look forward to being a repeat customer.
