Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using silicone or saline implants. Ideal for patients seeking fuller curves or post-pregnancy restoration, this procedure addresses asymmetry and volume loss. Dr. Gallus tailors implant selection to body proportions, ensuring natural results. Recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks of downtime, with final outcomes visible after 3-6 months as swelling subsides.
Breast Lift
A breast lift corrects sagging by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple. This procedure restores a youthful contour without implants, addressing ptosis from aging or weight changes. Dr. Gallus uses techniques like the anchor or vertical incision for optimal reshaping. Results are long-lasting, though weight fluctuations may affect longevity.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck flattens the abdomen by tightening muscles and removing excess skin. It repairs diastasis recti and reduces stretch marks. Combining liposuction enhances waist definition. Recovery requires 6 weeks of restricted activity. Patients often report renewed confidence in body-conscious clothing after this transformative procedure.
Facelift
Facelifts reverse signs of aging by tightening facial skin and muscles. Dr. Chao specializes in natural-looking results, addressing jowls, sagging necks, and deep creases. Techniques preserve facial expressions while restoring a youthful contour. Swelling resolves in weeks, with final results emerging after 2-3 months.
Non-Surgical Injectables
Non-surgical options like Botox and dermal fillers reduce wrinkles with zero downtime. These treatments target fine lines, volume loss, and skin texture. Dr. Gallus and Dr. Chao oversee skilled aestheticians to ensure safe, precise applications. Results are immediate, lasting 6-18 months depending on the product used.
