Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Lucie Capek

Sourced directly from Dr. Lucie Capek's social posts and replies.

What are the benefits of natural breast augmentation using fat transfer?
Natural breast augmentation utilizes a patient's own fat to enhance breast shape, offering the additional benefit of body contouring from the fat harvesting site.
Source →
Does implant removal mean losing all breast shape or volume?
No, implant removal does not necessarily mean giving up all breast shape or volume. Dr. Capek offers several options to achieve a pleasing natural breast shape after explant, tailored to individual anatomy and goals.
Source →
What should I expect regarding healing time after facial rejuvenation procedures?
Dr. Capek notes that results from facial rejuvenation procedures are often early, and healing is still ongoing for some time after the surgery. Patients should expect their results to continue to evolve as they heal!
Source →
Are there any current promotions for JUVÉDERM?
For a limited time (until August 31st, while supplies last), patients can receive a third JUVÉDERM syringe for free when purchasing two. New JUVÉDERM patients can also save an additional $75 off their first JUVÉDERM treatment through an Allē offer; to redeem, patients must add the voucher to their Allē Wallet via the link in bio before their appointment. These offers are valid with PA Juliet when all syringes are received in a single session.
Source →
Can natural-looking lip enhancement be achieved without filler?
Yes, Dr. Capek can achieve soft, natural-looking lip enhancement without using a single syringe of filler. She uses a patient's own fat to restore volume, improve lip function, and create subtle, long-lasting enhancement in the lips.
Source →
What is a 'whistle deformity' and how is it treated?
A 'whistle deformity' is a condition where the tissue in the central upper lip is deficient, preventing full lip closure at rest. Dr. Capek has successfully treated this using fat transfer to improve volume, balance, and the ability to close lips comfortably.
Source →
How does lip filler work and what are its benefits?
Lip filler uses hyaluronic acid gel to add volume and shape to the lips. It is an excellent non-surgical option for patients seeking temporary results.
Source →
How does fat transfer for lips work and what are its benefits?
Fat transfer for lips uses the patient's own fat, harvested from another area of their body. This fat is then carefully injected into the lips to shape them for a natural appearance. Because it uses the patient's own tissue, no synthetic filler is involved. The fat cells that survive become a living part of the lips, offering a long-lasting result that looks and feels completely natural.
Source →
What is the recovery like for natural breast augmentation (fat transfer)?
Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the recovery feels after natural breast augmentation using fat transfer.
Source →
When is filler an option for under-eye concerns?
Dr. Capek notes that filler can be an excellent non-surgical option for certain under-eye concerns, particularly for temporary results.
Source →
When is surgery recommended for under-eye concerns?
For under-eye concerns, surgery can provide a lasting solution, especially when addressing issues like persistent prominent fat pads.
Source →
How does Dr. Capek determine the right treatment plan?
Dr. Capek states that a thoughtful evaluation during a consultation is the first step in finding the right approach for any concern. During this consultation, all treatment options are discussed, and a personalized treatment plan is created based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and desired outcome.

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.

Total received (2024)

$3,632

Payments

19

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Lucie Capek received $3,632 across 19 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

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?”

Patients also appreciate the attentive follow-up care and the friendly staff.
What areas of care does Dr. Lucie Capek cater to?
Dr. Capek specializes in cosmetic plastic surgery, focusing on the face, breast, and body. She offers a range of surgical and non-surgical procedures, including facelifts, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, liposuction, and various medspa treatments like Botox, Hydrafacials, and TempSure Envi. For breast contouring, Dr. Capek focuses on creating softer, more natural results using a patient's own tissue, often through procedures like explant, capsulectomy, breast lift, and fat transfer. She emphasizes that surgical plans, especially for explant, are always tailored to each patient's unique body, concerns, and desired results. For facial rejuvenation, Dr. Capek's philosophy involves thoughtfully combining procedures to address the face as a whole, aiming for balanced, harmonious, and long-lasting results that complement natural features. She believes the most effective facial balancing results come from treating the face holistically, rather than focusing on just one isolated area. This holistic approach involves simultaneously addressing areas like the cheeks, chin, jawline, lips, or under-eye area to achieve subtle enhancements that restore harmony, create a refreshed appearance, and prevent an 'overdone' look. She emphasizes that restoring volume is just as important as lifting in facial rejuvenation. She frequently uses a patient's own fat to replenish lost facial volume, which contributes to a healthy, rested appearance, aiming for results that look and feel completely natural. Her treatment philosophy emphasizes addressing the root cause of a concern to find the most effective solution. For skincare, Dr. Capek recommends foundational products like SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum and HA5 Foaming Cleanser, noting they are designed to synergistically promote healthier, more youthful-looking skin. She stresses that the best treatment for a patient always depends on their individual anatomy, lifestyle, and desired outcome. Her approach to breast augmentation and overall beautification prioritizes proportion, balance, and results that look and feel natural. This long-held approach aligns with patients' current desire for subtle, authentic refinement rather than dramatic change.
