Services
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses aging signs by tightening skin, repositioning tissue, and reducing wrinkles for a youthful appearance. Ideal for patients with jowls, neck laxity, or midface sagging, this procedure uses customized incisions to minimize visible scarring. Recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks of downtime, with results lasting up to a decade. Our approach prioritizes natural outcomes while maintaining facial harmony.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances size and shape using silicone or saline implants, tailored to body proportions through digital imaging. Incisions are placed discreetly around the nipple, under the breast, or in armpit creases. Patients choose between submuscular or subglandular placement, with recovery involving 4-6 weeks of limited physical activity. We offer revision surgeries and the Bellesoma method for natural-looking lifts without implants.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes excess fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms using minimally invasive cannulas. Procedures can be performed under local or general anesthesia, with recovery requiring compression garments for 3-6 weeks. Fat transfer options allow repurposing harvested fat for facial or buttock augmentation. Results are permanent when maintained with stable weight and healthy habits.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery flattens the abdomen by removing excess skin, tightening muscles, and addressing stretch marks. Full tucks address upper and lower abdomen, while mini-tucks target lower abdominal concerns. Recovery involves 2-3 weeks of limited movement, with final results visible after swelling subsides. Combining liposuction enhances contouring for optimal outcomes.
Botox Injections
Botox injections smooth dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles, targeting frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases. Results appear within 3-7 days and last 3-6 months. Our practice uses precise dosing to maintain natural expressions while reducing aging signs. Complementary fillers like Juvederm address static wrinkles for comprehensive rejuvenation.
