Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions, restored volume post-pregnancy, or symmetry correction. Dr. Kleto tailors implant type, size, and placement to align with your anatomy and goals. Results offer a balanced, natural appearance with enhanced self-confidence. Recovery typically allows return to light activities within a week, with full results visible after swelling subsides.
Facelift
A facelift addresses sagging skin, deep creases, and jowls to restore a youthful facial contour. Dr. Kleto employs full or mini facelift techniques to tighten underlying tissues and remove excess skin. Candidates include those with moderate to advanced facial aging seeking long-term rejuvenation. Recovery involves minimal discomfort managed with medication, with final results emerging after 3-6 months. Complementary procedures like eyelid surgery may enhance outcomes.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms to refine body shape. Best suited for individuals near their ideal weight with good skin elasticity, the procedure uses advanced techniques to ensure smooth, proportional results. Recovery allows return to work within days, with swelling resolving over 3-4 months. Maintaining results requires a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty corrects drooping eyelids and under-eye bags to create a refreshed appearance. Dr. Kleto addresses upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin and fat. Ideal candidates include those with aged or tired-looking eyes seeking subtle rejuvenation. Recovery involves temporary swelling managed with cold compresses, with final results visible after six weeks. The procedure can be combined with a brow lift for comprehensive facial renewal.
Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover combines procedures like tummy tuck, breast lift, and liposuction to address post-pregnancy changes. Dr. Kleto customizes each plan to restore pre-pregnancy contours, focusing on abdominal tightening, breast rejuvenation, and targeted fat removal. Recovery spans several weeks, with gradual improvement in appearance. Patients achieve a revitalized, confident physique aligned with their lifestyle and goals.
