Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat grafting. Ideal for women seeking fuller contours, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Dr. Doherty prioritizes natural results, combining technical skill with artistic vision. Recovery involves 4-6 weeks of limited activity, with full results visible after 3-6 months.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, creating a flatter profile. It addresses post-pregnancy or weight-loss sagging. Dr. Doherty uses progressive tension sutures to minimize scarring. Recovery requires 2-4 weeks off strenuous activity, with final results emerging after swelling subsides over 3-6 months.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and neck. It reshapes the body for patients near their ideal weight. Dr. Doherty employs tumescent or laser techniques for precision. Patients wear compression garments for weeks post-op, with final contours visible after 3-6 months.
BOTOX
BOTOX reduces dynamic wrinkles like frown lines and crows feet by temporarily relaxing muscles. Results appear in 2 weeks and last 3-4 months. Dr. Doherty ensures subtle, natural outcomes. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes with no downtime, ideal for quick rejuvenation.
Breast Lift
A breast lift elevates sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening tissue. It restores a youthful contour, often combined with implants for volume. Dr. Doherty uses precise incisions to minimize scarring. Recovery includes 2-3 weeks of limited lifting, with long-term results dependent on maintaining stable weight.

Most patients take 2 weeks off work and avoid strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks. Full recovery takes 3-6 months as swelling subsides.
Does liposuction remove visceral fat?

How long do BOTOX results last?
Results typically last 3-4 months. Regular treatments may extend duration up to 6 months.
Can a breast lift be combined with implants?
Yes, combining a breast lift with implants addresses both sagging and volume loss for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Are plastic surgery scars permanent?
Scars are permanent but fade over time. Dr. Doherty uses meticulous techniques to minimize visibility, placing incisions discreetly.
Is liposuction a weight-loss solution?
No, liposuction contours the body by removing localized fat. It is not a substitute for healthy diet and exercise.
