Dr. Henok

Araya, M.D.

"Good cosmetic surgery is invisible work — patients should look like themselves, only more rested."

Dr. Araya founded Vita Surgical Group to bring a full continuum of cosmetic and dermatologic care to the Washington DC region — from liposuction and tummy tuck to Botox, fillers, eyelid surgery and medical dermatology.

Two decades of practice. Tens of thousands of treatments. A reputation built one quietly satisfied patient at a time.
