Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. James M. Economides Opens Boutique Practice in Chevy Chase, Introduces Advanced Laser Program
Ikon Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics brings deep plane facelift expertise, boutique fee-for-service care, and the Cartessa Helix laser platform to the Chevy Chase, Maryland market
CHEVY CHASE, Md., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ikon Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, a boutique plastic surgery practice founded by board-certified plastic surgeon James M. Economides, MD, FACS, is now open at 2 Wisconsin Circle, Suite 615, in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The practice serves patients across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia, with a clinical focus on deep plane facelift, breast surgery, body contouring, mommy makeover, and medical aesthetics.
At Ikon, every patient works directly with Dr. Economides from first consultation through final follow-up. There are no handoffs, no filters, and no variability.
"I built Ikon to be the practice I would want to go to as a patient — one surgeon, fully accountable, from the first conversation through the final result," said Dr. Economides.
Deep Plane Facelift: The Gold Standard in Facial Rejuvenation
Dr. Economides' signature procedure is the deep plane facelift, widely regarded as the gold standard in surgical facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional techniques that address surface tissue, the deep plane approach repositions the underlying anatomical structures of the face — producing results that are natural, long-lasting, and increasingly sought by patients who have researched their options. He also performs breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, body contouring, abdominoplasty, mommy makeover, and non-surgical treatments including neuromodulators and dermal fillers.
A Bethesda native, Dr. Economides completed his integrated plastic surgery residency at Georgetown University Hospital. He has been recognized as a Top Doctor by Washingtonian Magazine, Arlington Magazine, Castle Connolly, and Northern Virginia Magazine across multiple consecutive years, and was named a 2026 DC Modern Luxury Power Player.
Advanced Laser Program: CoolPeel, Fusion, and Sultra
Ikon is introducing a comprehensive laser program centered on the Cartessa Helix platform, offering three distinct treatments: CoolPeel — fractional CO₂ resurfacing addressing skin texture, fine lines, and tone with minimal downtime; Fusion — a combined protocol delivering deeper resurfacing and skin renewal; and Sultra — a non-ablative 1570nm treatment targeting deeper dermal remodeling and collagen stimulation with no downtime. Each is offered alongside curated pre- and post-treatment packages designed to optimize results and support recovery.
Rooted in the Community
Dr. Economides chose Chevy Chase deliberately. A Bethesda native who built his career serving patients across the DC region, he serves on the Executive Committee of the National Capital Society of Plastic Surgeons and has volunteered as a cleft surgeon with Operation Smile in Vietnam. "Opening here feels like coming home," he says.
