Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for women seeking proportionate curves or post-pregnancy restoration. Our surgeons use advanced techniques for natural results, with options for silicone or saline implants. Recovery typically involves 4-6 weeks of limited activity.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tucks remove excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles. Best for post-pregnancy body contouring or post-weight-loss reshaping. Our approach combines liposuction with muscle repair for a flatter, toned profile. Full recovery takes 6-8 weeks with activity restrictions.
Facelift
Facelifts address sagging skin and deep wrinkles to restore a youthful appearance. Targeting mid-face, jawline, and neck areas, our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques for natural results. Patients see improvements in jowls, loose skin, and facial contours with 2-3 weeks of swelling reduction.
Hand Surgery
Hand surgery treats conditions like carpal tunnel, Dupuytren's contracture, and nerve injuries. Our board-certified surgeons perform tendon repairs, nerve decompression, and arthritis treatments. Recovery varies by procedure but focuses on restoring function and reducing pain for daily activities.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like thighs, abdomen, and arms. Ideal for patients near ideal weight seeking targeted sculpting. We use tumescent and laser-assisted techniques for smoother results with minimal downtime. Final outcomes appear after 3-6 months of healing.
