Services
Eyelid Lift
Eyelid lift surgery removes excess skin and fat from upper/lower eyelids to reduce tiredness and enhance facial appearance. Ideal for patients with sagging eyelids or under-eye bags, this outpatient procedure lasts 1-2 hours and offers long-lasting results. Recovery involves minimal restrictions, with full effects visible after 1-2 months.
Facelift
Facelift surgery tightens facial muscles and skin to restore a youthful contour. Targeting lower face and neck laxity, it addresses deep creases and jowls. Performed under general anesthesia, recovery takes 2-4 weeks. Results last 5-10 years, with options to combine with eyelid or brow lift procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Breast Enlargement
Breast augmentation enhances size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Customizable to individual anatomy, surgery lasts 1.5-2 hours with 1-2 weeks recovery. Patients resume light activities quickly, avoiding strenuous movement. Implants do not interfere with breastfeeding or mammograms when placed under muscle.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and tightens muscles, ideal for post-pregnancy or post-weight loss patients. Performed at an accredited surgical center, recovery requires 2-4 weeks off work. Scarring runs hip-to-hip but fades over time. Results are long-lasting with stable weight maintenance.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting eliminates diet-resistant fat through controlled cooling, FDA-cleared for abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Non-invasive sessions last 35-75 minutes per area, with visible results in 1-3 months. No downtime required, making it ideal for busy individuals seeking gradual, permanent fat reduction without surgery.

Questions
What qualifications do your surgeons have?
Our surgeons are board-certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery and members of leading professional societies, with decades of combined experience in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.
Are consultations required before surgery?
Yes, consultations are essential to discuss goals, review medical history, and create personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs and expectations.
How long is recovery after a facelift?
Most patients return to work within 10-14 days, with full recovery taking 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising subside gradually during this period.
Is CoolSculpting painful?
Patients may feel initial cold and pressure, but discomfort diminishes quickly. Most resume normal activities immediately after the non-invasive treatment session.
Do breast implants affect mammograms?
Implants placed under muscle interfere less with imaging. Special views are performed during mammograms to ensure accurate breast cancer screening for patients with implants.
What financing options are available?
We offer flexible financing through third-party providers to help patients access desired procedures with manageable monthly payments and competitive interest rates.
