About

Dr. Ludwig A. Allegra is a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon practicing in Kirkland, Washington. His practice offers surgery, injections, and esthetic services. Dr. Allegra often creates highly customized, multi-procedure surgical plans for facial rejuvenation. These plans can involve a Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift to elevate muscle structures and restore midface volume, a Bilateral Temporal Browlift to lift the outer brow, and a Lip Lift to shorten the upper lip. He also uses Targeted Fat Grafting, utilizing a patient’s own fat to restore volume to areas like the lower eyes, cheeks, and lips, and performs Full Face TCA Chemical Peels to deeply resurface skin and improve texture, tone, and pigmentation. For breast augmentation, Dr. Allegra may utilize two different implant sizes to correct natural chest asymmetry.

For injectables, the practice recommends starting a year in advance to carefully build and perfect results over time.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Ludwig A. Allegra

Sourced directly from Dr. Ludwig A. Allegra's social posts and replies.

Does Dr. Allegra address natural chest asymmetry during breast augmentation?
Yes, Dr. Allegra commonly utilizes two different implant sizes to correct natural chest asymmetry and achieve a perfectly balanced final look.
What is the typical breast implant recovery process and timeline?
At one month post-op, breast implants are typically still sitting slightly high, which is a normal part of the healing process. Over the next several months, the surrounding muscle and skin tissues will continue to relax and adjust to the new volume, allowing the implants to fully soften and settle into their final, natural position. The practice expects patients to be healing beautifully and on track with their recovery at this stage. At three months post-op, implants typically begin beautifully settling into their natural position, with results expected to continue improving over several months.
Is Darya, the Nurse Practitioner Injector, currently available for appointments?
Darya, the practice's Nurse Practitioner Injector, is currently on maternity leave and does not yet have a set return date. The practice will announce her schedule as soon as she is ready to return.
What is the recommended timeline for starting an injectable journey, especially for events like weddings?
The ideal timeline for starting an injectable journey, particularly for events like a wedding, is a year in advance. This allows the practice to carefully build, maintain, and perfect results over time, ensuring a flawless and natural look well before the big day without feeling rushed.
What is a Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift with Platysmaplasty?
A Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift with Platysmaplasty works by elevating the underlying muscle structures to restore midface volume and create a sharply defined jawline and neck contour.
What is a Bilateral Temporal Browlift?
A Bilateral Temporal Browlift works by lifting the outer brow to open the upper face.
What is a Lip Lift?
A Lip Lift works by shortening the upper lip to restore youthful facial proportions.
What is Targeted Fat Grafting?
Targeted Fat Grafting utilizes the patient’s own natural fat harvested from the body to restore essential volume to areas like the lower eyes, cheeks, and lips.
What is a Full Face TCA Chemical Peel?
A Full Face TCA Chemical Peel works by deeply resurfacing the skin to improve overall skin texture, tone, and pigmentation.
What is the recovery like one month after comprehensive facial rejuvenation?
One month post-operative from a comprehensive full facial rejuvenation, patients are still in the active healing phase. While residual swelling and skin pinkness from procedures like chemical peels are naturally resolving, foundational, structural results are already visible.
Can lip filler address a gummy smile?
Yes, targeted filler placement can naturally soften and hide a slight gummy smile as an added benefit.

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)

$234

Payments

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Ludwig A. Allegra received $234 across 2 payments 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?”
