Facelifts
Facelift surgery repositions sagging facial skin and tissue to create a bright, youthful appearance. Ideal for addressing aging signs along the jawline or jowls, this procedure helps patients feel more confident in their skin. Recovery typically requires two to three weeks before resuming work and other obligations. Results are long-lasting, though natural aging will continue.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation increases breast size and fullness using implants or fat grafting. Patients can choose implant material, size, and placement options. Recovery spans four to six weeks, with final results settling over time. The procedure emphasizes natural shape and proportion rather than excessive size, ensuring a balanced, aesthetically pleasing outcome.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat from areas like the abdomen, hips, and thighs to create a more sculpted appearance. It can be performed standalone or with other procedures like tummy tucks. Most patients return to work within a week but must avoid strenuous activity for up to six weeks. Results are long-lasting with proper lifestyle maintenance.
Injectables
Injectables combat wrinkles, fine lines, and facial volume loss using BOTOX, fillers, or fat grafting. Administered by Dr. Grotting himself, these treatments offer immediate results with minimal downtime. Effects last from months to years depending on the product, with no scarring due to the non-invasive nature of the procedure.
Medspa Services
Medspa treatments like chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and HydraFacials refresh and refine skin texture. Directed by Dr. Grotting, these services use advanced techniques to address aging, sun damage, and uneven tone. Procedures are safe, customizable, and suitable for standalone use or to complement surgical results, ensuring comprehensive skincare solutions.

Questions
Should I lose weight before surgery?
Patients planning to lose more than 20 pounds should wait, as significant weight loss can alter surgical outcomes. Crash diets are discouraged to maintain essential nutrients needed for recovery.
Will my facelift results look stretched?
Dr. Grotting avoids the 'wind-tunnel' look by repositioning tissues naturally, ensuring results appear youthful without over-tightening or unnatural contours.
How long do injectable results last?
Results vary: fillers last 6-18 months, BOTOX lasts 3-4 months, and fat grafting offers permanent volume once the transferred fat stabilizes.
Can liposuction replace weight loss?
Liposuction targets localized fat deposits, not overall weight loss. Ideal candidates are near their target weight but struggle with stubborn fat areas resistant to diet and exercise.
What is the recovery for a tummy tuck?
Recovery typically takes 6 weeks to 3 months, depending on the procedure's extent. Patients should avoid strenuous activity initially to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
Are breast implants safe?
Modern implants are FDA-approved and safe, with options for saline, silicone, or fat grafting. Dr. Grotting prioritizes patient education to ensure informed decisions about implant type and placement.
