Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances shape and volume using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for addressing post-pregnancy changes, asymmetry, or desired size increases. Silicone or saline implants offer customizable options, while fat grafting provides natural enhancement. Recovery involves 4-6 weeks of limited activity. Our approach prioritizes natural aesthetics, long-term satisfaction, and thorough pre-surgical education using Vectra 3D imaging for realistic expectations.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery tightens abdominal muscles and removes excess skin for a flatter contour. Full tucks address muscle separation and loose skin, while mini tucks focus on lower abdomen concerns. Combines liposuction for optimal sculpting. Recovery requires 2-3 weeks off work and 6 weeks for full activity. Addresses diastasis recti, hernias, and post-weight-loss laxity, with emphasis on functional improvements like reduced back pain.
Facelift
Facelifts restore youthful contours by tightening skin and underlying tissues in the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Addresses volume loss with fat transfer and improves skin quality via chemical peels. Combines with eyelid surgery or brow lifts for harmonious results. Recovery spans 1-2 weeks with swelling management. Focuses on natural outcomes without 'frozen' appearances, preserving facial expressiveness.
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic reduces dynamic wrinkles through targeted muscle relaxation. Treats forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines with results visible in 72 hours. Lasts 3-5 months, with options like Dysport and Daxxify for extended effects. Administered in-office with minimal downtime. Preventative use for early lines is discussed alongside maintenance plans for optimal, natural-looking outcomes.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits for improved body contours. Commonly used on love handles, thighs, and neck alongside tummy tucks or mommy makeovers. Recovery involves compression garment use for 4-6 weeks. Combines with skin-tightening procedures for comprehensive results. Emphasizes realistic expectations and post-operative lifestyle adjustments to maintain outcomes.
