Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. This procedure addresses asymmetry, volume loss, or desire for enhanced curves. Our surgeons customize incision placement and implant positioning for natural results. Patients typically recover within 3-6 weeks with improved self-confidence and body image.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits using advanced Vaser technology. This minimally invasive procedure targets areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms. Patients achieve slimmer contours with faster recovery compared to traditional methods. Ideal for those near their target weight seeking enhanced body definition.
Hand Surgery
Specialized hand surgery treats conditions like carpal tunnel, Dupuytren's contracture, and trauma injuries. Our fellowship-trained surgeons restore function and reduce pain through precise techniques. Over 500 successful hand procedures performed, with 65% regional case volume handled by our team.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores natural appearance after cancer treatment using implant or autologous tissue techniques. Covered by insurance, this reconstructive procedure combines functional restoration with aesthetic considerations. Our surgeons perform 100% of local breast cancer reconstruction cases.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles for a flatter profile. Addresses post-pregnancy changes and post-weight loss skin laxity. Recovery involves 2-5 weeks with long-lasting results when combined with stable weight maintenance.
