Artistry in Aesthetic Surgery

Dr. James
Economides

Dr. James M. Economides is a board-certified plastic surgeon — certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a proud Fellow of the American College of Surgeons — specializing in facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and aesthetic surgery in Washington, DC. With a reputation built on surgical precision and an unwavering commitment to natural-looking results, Dr. Economides has been recognized as a Top Doctor every year since 2019, a distinction that reflects not only his technical excellence but the trust his patients place in him time and again.

Dr. Economides is perhaps best known for his mastery of the deep plane facelift — one of the most sophisticated and enduring procedures in facial rejuvenation — as well as his expertise in blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, and advanced body contouring. He takes an equally thoughtful approach to non-surgical aesthetics, often combing treatments to complement and extend surgical results. Whether a patient is seeking a subtle refresh or a comprehensive transformation, Dr. Economides designs every treatment plan around the individual — their anatomy, their goals, and the life they want to live in their own skin.

An internationally recognized educator and lecturer, Dr. Economides has presented at universities and conferences around the world, bringing the same rigor and curiosity to the podium that he brings to the operating room. His insights have been featured in Bloomberg, and his voice carries weight in a specialty where nuance matters enormously. At Ikon Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, that depth of knowledge translates directly into patient care — thoughtful, precise, and always personal. His mission is simple: to help you look and feel like the most refined version of yourself.
