About
Dr. David Magilke is a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in Portland, Oregon. He is motivated by improving self-confidence, believing natural-looking results can still be significantly transformative. For facelift surgery, his goal is undetectable results; improvements are clear in before-and-after photos, yet the face doesn't obviously 'scream surgery.' He deeply obsesses over facelift details, focusing on a vertical lift and aiming for undetectable incisions.
Dr. Magilke views rhinoplasty as a powerful procedure for restoring facial harmony, paying close attention to the nose's base view to achieve a more aesthetic triangle shape. He also offers deep neck lifts, a powerful facial rejuvenation procedure for improving neck fullness in younger men and women, often recommending it over liposuction when appropriate. Techniques include shaving submandibular glands and tightening the platysma muscle. He also performs Preservation deep plane face and neck lifts, upper blepharoplasty, fat transfer to undereyes, full face Erbium laser resurfacing, and Forever Clear BBL for acne. The practice enhances natural lip shape with filler, provides topical numbing for comfort, and shares patient photos with consent.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. David Magilke
Sourced directly from Dr. David Magilke's social posts and replies.
How long after procedures can results be seen?
For some patients, 'after' photos are taken 7 months post-procedure, indicating a significant healing period for final results.
Are patient photos shared with consent?
Yes, all patients whose photos are shared online have provided their explicit consent.
What are Dr. Magilke's aesthetic goals for rhinoplasty?
For rhinoplasty, Dr. Magilke aims to reduce dorsal humps and lift the tip for a more curved, feminine appearance, allowing the nose to blend harmoniously with the face.
What is the recovery timeline for preservation rhinoplasty?
Patients undergoing preservation rhinoplasty can heal beautifully by 10 months post-operation, with even better definition in the tip expected after about a year, though some minor swelling may persist.
Can facial plastic surgery address signs of aging after significant weight loss?
Yes, Dr. Magilke addresses concerns about signs of aging on the lower face, often seen after significant weight loss, through procedures like deep plane facelifts and neck lifts.
What is the typical recovery timeline for combined facial procedures?
For combined procedures like deep plane facelift, deep neck lift, fat transfer, and laser resurfacing, patients are often pictured 4 months post-operation, showing significant progress. However, recovery duration varies widely from patient to patient.
What are common side effects and recovery expectations after laser resurfacing?
After laser resurfacing, patients may experience minor redness that will continue to fade over time.
Who performs non-surgical treatments like Lip Filler?
Non-surgical treatments such as Lip Filler are performed by Koko BSN, RN.
Is anesthesia or numbing provided for non-surgical procedures like lip filler?
Yes, topical numbing is provided for patient comfort during procedures like lip filler.
Are multiple sessions required for lip filler to achieve desired results?
Yes, multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal aesthetic goals with lip filler.
Who is an ideal candidate for forehead reduction?
Forehead reduction is an excellent option for women born with a high hairline to lower it. Men are generally not ideal candidates due to the high risk of hair loss with aging, which could expose the scar later in life as the hairline recedes.
How does forehead reduction compare to hair transplant for hairline lowering?
Forehead reduction provides a much more dense result for hairline lowering compared to a hair transplant. Sometimes, both procedures are helpful to maximize the result.
Can significant results be achieved with a single-stage forehead reduction?
Yes, significant results can be accomplished with a 1-stage forehead reduction.
What are the risks and limitations of neck liposuction compared to a deep neck lift?
Neck liposuction can cause problems with unnatural-appearing scarring of the skin and may make the neck appear more aged by losing the soft, pliable skin of youth. It is also much more limited in the changes that can be made compared to a deep neck lift.
Is there a cost difference between a neck lift and neck liposuction?
Yes, there is a difference in cost between a neck lift and neck liposuction, reflecting the different scopes of the procedures.
What does a deep neck lift involve?
A deep neck lift removes bulky tissue in the neck, which may involve carefully shaving down submandibular glands, tightening the platysma muscle, and occasionally a touch of liposuction for fine adjustments. In some cases, no skin is removed.
What are the expectations for scar visibility after facelift procedures?
Dr. Magilke's goal is for facelift incisions to be undetectable, with scars being beautiful and almost impossible to detect.
How long does a Forever Clear BBL treatment take?
Each Forever Clear BBL treatment takes about 25 minutes.
Is numbing medicine required for Forever Clear BBL treatments?
No, Forever Clear BBL treatments do not require numbing medicine.
What is the downtime for Forever Clear BBL treatments?
Forever Clear BBL treatments have minimal downtime, allowing patients to go out for dinner the same day.
Are there any contraindications for Forever Clear BBL treatment?
The only contraindication for Forever Clear BBL treatment is having a tan.
Are facelift results for men comparable to those for women?
Yes, a facelift in a man can look just as good as it does on a woman.
What are specific considerations for male upper face aesthetic surgery?
Changing the upper face in a man can sometimes cause the face to look more feminine, typically due to too much lid show, which is a feminine feature. Men are usually seen with hooded eyelids, so conservative upper blepharoplasty is key to avoid an altered or feminized look, as an overly aggressive approach is almost guaranteed to make a man look altered.
Can fat transfer alone achieve results similar to lower eyelid surgery for undereyes?
Yes, a fat transfer alone can achieve results for refreshed undereyes that closely resemble those of lower eyelid surgery, though not everyone is a candidate for this approach, as it depends on individual anatomy.
Why is it important to consult with an expert for treatment options?
It is important to seek the opinion of an expert to help guide you in determining the best treatment option, as candidacy for specific approaches depends on individual anatomy.

Industry Payments
Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Payments
1
Compared to peers
Small
Dr. David Magilke received $19 across 1 payment in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..
What this means for your care
- A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
- Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
- Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
- A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

What areas of care does Dr. David Magilke cater to?
Dr. Magilke specializes in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, offering cosmetic procedures such as facelifts, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, neck lifts, and ear surgery. He also offers non-surgical treatments like Belotero. His expertise lies in enhancing facial features and addressing aesthetic concerns. Dr. Magilke views rhinoplasty as one of the most powerful procedures for restoring facial harmony, allowing other facial features to shine. He pays close attention to the base view of the nose in rhinoplasty, aiming for a transition from a trapezoid to a more aesthetic triangle shape. He emphasizes that while rhinoplasty results aim for a natural look, this does not diminish the significant, transformative change achieved. For lip filler, the practice focuses on enhancing the natural shape of the lips for a refreshed, volumized appearance. Dr. Magilke considers a deep neck lift one of the most powerful facial rejuvenation procedures for improving neck fullness, particularly in younger men and women. For certain patients, he often recommends a deep neck lift as a better option over liposuction, especially when liposuction alone cannot achieve the desired results. For facelift surgery, Dr. Magilke's goal is always for the results to be undetectable, meaning improvements are obvious in before-and-after comparisons, but the face doesn't obviously 'scream surgery'. His facelift technique emphasizes a vertical lift. Fat transfer and laser resurfacing are utilized to address skin texture and improve contours that contribute to a tired appearance.
