Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Ideal for women seeking fuller breasts due to natural smallness, post-pregnancy changes, or weight loss. Our surgeons customize implant size, shape, and placement to achieve natural, proportionate results. Recovery typically involves 68 weeks of healing, with final results visible after swelling subsides. Patients often combine this with a breast lift for enhanced contour.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess abdominal skin and tightens muscles, addressing post-pregnancy or weight-loss sagging. The procedure creates a flatter, toned midsection by repairing separated muscles and contouring the waistline. Recovery includes 68 weeks of limited activity, with full results emerging after swelling resolves. Combining with liposuction or a mommy makeover enhances overall body contouring outcomes.
Facelift
Facelift surgery rejuvenates the face by tightening skin and underlying tissues to reduce wrinkles and jowls. Targeting the lower two-thirds of the face, it restores a youthful jawline and smooths neck bands. Results last 710 years, with recovery involving 24 weeks of swelling management. Patients often pair this with eyelid surgery or BOTOX for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic reduces dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles responsible for frown lines, crows feet, and forehead furrows. Results appear within days and last 34 months, with minimal downtime. Our Allergan-trained nurse injector ensures natural-looking outcomes by strategically targeting expression lines while preserving facial movement for a refreshed, not frozen, appearance.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores a natural breast mound after mastectomy using implants or autologous tissue flaps. Techniques include DIEP flap surgery, the gold standard for natural results without muscle sacrifice. The process may involve multiple stages and nipple reconstruction, with outcomes enabling confidence in clothing and activewear. Our team guides patients through timing and procedural options.

Questions
Does insurance cover plastic surgery costs?
Reconstructive procedures like post-mastectomy breast reconstruction are often covered by insurance. Cosmetic surgeries, such as breast augmentation, typically are not. Our team assists with preauthorization and clarifying coverage details.
What is the recovery timeline for a tummy tuck?
Initial recovery takes 6–8 weeks, with full results visible after swelling subsides. Patients resume non-strenuous activities within 1–3 weeks and avoid heavy lifting or intense exercise during healing.
Can BOTOX prevent wrinkles?
Yes, preventative BOTOX (or 'baby BOTOX') can delay dynamic wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. Regular maintenance every 3–4 months helps sustain smoother skin and prevent deep lines.
What makes DIEP flap reconstruction unique?
DIEP flap uses abdominal tissue without muscle removal, preserving strength and reducing complications. It offers natural breast restoration with minimal donor-site impact, requiring microsurgical expertise.
Are breast implants safe?
Modern implants are FDA-approved and rigorously tested. While risks like capsular contracture exist, our surgeons prioritize safety, using Sientra implants with a proven track record and comprehensive warranties.
How do I choose a plastic surgeon?
