Bethesda Magazine profile marks an early milestone for the physician-led practice founded by Bethesda native James M. Economides, MD, FACS
CHEVY CHASE, Md., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Less than four months after opening, Ikon Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics is building a presence in the Bethesda–Chevy Chase community. Founded by Bethesda native and Georgetown-trained board-certified plastic surgeon James M. Economides, MD, FACS, the practice is featured in Bethesda Magazine's 2026–2027 Insider Guide—one of several early milestones for the physician-led practice.
Since opening in June, Ikon has introduced surgical and medical aesthetics services, launched the HELIX laser platform, and been named DC Modern Luxury's 2026 Best New Practice. The profile expands the practice's visibility in the community where Dr. Economides grew up. He has been recognized as a Top Doctor annually since 2019.
"Opening Ikon in Chevy Chase was a return home," said Dr. Economides. "Being featured in Bethesda Magazine's Insider Guide within months of opening is meaningful because this is the community that shaped me and where I chose to build my practice."
A Practice Built Around Direct Surgeon Care
Ikon uses a boutique model in which patients work directly with Dr. Economides from consultation through follow-up. Appointments emphasize education, individualized planning and realistic expectations. Patients receive candid recommendations—including when surgery or treatment is not right for their anatomy, goals or timing.
The practice serves patients throughout the Washington metropolitan region. Dr. Economides has authored more than 40 peer-reviewed publications and textbook chapters.
Facial Rejuvenation and Advanced Skin Care
Facial rejuvenation is a central focus of the practice. Dr. Economides specializes in deep plane facelift surgery, which repositions deeper facial structures rather than relying on skin tension alone. Ikon also provides eyelid and brow surgery, breast surgery, body contouring, injectables and advanced skin rejuvenation. HELIX treatments can be tailored to different skin concerns and recovery preferences.
The profile also explores the Ikon name, derived from the Greek word eikon, meaning image or likeness. It reflects a philosophy of refining or restoring appearance without losing the qualities that make each patient recognizable.
