Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants. Ideal for women seeking fuller contours, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Dr. Barnthouse customizes implant selection and placement to align with individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. Recovery typically allows return to non-strenuous activities within a week, with full results visible after swelling subsides.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles. It addresses post-pregnancy laxity or stubborn fat unresponsive to diet and exercise. Dr. Barnthouse employs traditional or mini techniques based on patient needs. Recovery involves limited activity for several weeks, with final results emerging as swelling resolves over months.
Facelift
Facelifts restore youthful facial contours by tightening skin and underlying tissues. This procedure targets sagging jowls, deep creases, and neck laxity. Dr. Barnthouse uses advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results. Patients typically resume social activities within three weeks, with long-lasting rejuvenation.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to refine body shape. Effective for areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms, it complements healthy lifestyles. Dr. Barnthouse combines liposuction with other procedures for comprehensive results. Recovery includes wearing compression garments for several weeks to optimize outcomes.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction alleviates physical discomfort from overly large breasts while improving proportion. Dr. Barnthouse preserves sensation and minimizes scarring using modern techniques. Recovery allows light activity within days, with full healing taking months. Patients report significant relief from neck, back, and shoulder pain.
