Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Ideal for women seeking fuller contours, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Dr. Piro tailors implant selection to body type, ensuring natural-looking results. Patients report improved self-confidence and satisfaction with personalized outcomes.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles for a flatter profile. Suitable for post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss patients, it addresses sagging and muscle separation. Recovery involves 2 weeks off work, with final results visible after swelling subsides. Patients highlight renewed confidence in swimwear and clothing.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores natural contours after mastectomy using implants or tissue flaps. Dr. Piro employs techniques like TRAM or DIEP flaps for personalized solutions. The process often includes nipple reconstruction, with patients reporting emotional healing and restored body image post-surgery.
Facelift
Facelifts reduce signs of aging by tightening skin and muscles for a youthful appearance. Ideal for addressing jowls and neck laxity, recovery takes 2-4 weeks. Patients appreciate subtle, natural results that enhance their features without an overtly 'pulled' look.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits to refine body contours. Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. SmartLipo technology aids skin tightening, with minimal downtime. Patients achieve smoother silhouettes when diet and exercise fail to target specific zones.
