Services
Facelift
A surgical procedure to rejuvenate the face by addressing sagging skin, jowls, and wrinkles. Ideal for patients seeking long-lasting results, this treatment tightens underlying tissues and removes excess skin for a natural, youthful appearance. Dr. Varkarakis employs advanced techniques, including fat grafting, to restore volume and ensure harmonious facial contours.
Breast Augmentation
Enhances breast size and shape using silicone or saline implants. Tailored to individual body types and goals, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Dr. Varkarakis prioritizes natural outcomes, selecting implant size and placement based on patient anatomy and preferences, with a focus on minimizing recovery time.
Abdominoplasty
Targets excess skin, stretch marks, and muscle laxity in the abdomen. Commonly part of a 'Mommy Makeover,' this surgery tightens muscles and reshapes the midsection. Patients typically resume light activities within a week, with full recovery taking six weeks, ensuring durable, transformative results.
Botox
Non-surgical treatment for dynamic wrinkles using botulinum toxin. Effective for frown lines, crows feet, and forehead wrinkles, Botox temporarily relaxes muscles to smooth skin. Results appear within days and last several months, with minimal downtime and immediate return to daily activities.
Burn Reconstruction
Restores function and appearance after burn injuries through skin grafts, scar revision, and regenerative techniques. Dr. Varkarakis specializes in complex cases, utilizing amniotic membrane and fat grafting to improve healing. The goal is to enhance mobility and aesthetics while addressing both physical and emotional impacts of scarring.
