Services
Facelift
Facelift surgery rejuvenates the face by tightening skin and muscles to reduce signs of aging. Ideal for patients with jowls, loose neck skin, and deep creases, this procedure creates a refreshed appearance. Dr. Kunkel customizes techniques to ensure natural results that enhance facial harmony while maintaining individuality.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Candidates include women seeking proportionate curves, correction of asymmetry, or post-pregnancy restoration. Dr. Kunkel employs advanced imaging technology to help patients visualize outcomes and select optimal implant size and placement.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tucks remove excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles. This procedure addresses post-pregnancy changes and post-weight-loss sagging. Dr. Kunkel often combines liposuction for enhanced contouring, creating a flatter, more toned midsection with minimal visible scarring.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery corrects puffiness and sagging to restore alertness. Both upper and lower eyelid procedures reposition fat rather than removing it entirely. Patients achieve youthful, refreshed eyes with nearly imperceptible scarring through Dr. Kunkel's precise incision techniques.
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic temporarily smooths dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movements. Ideal for forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines, this non-surgical treatment delivers visible results within days. Our experienced nurse injector ensures natural-looking outcomes with minimal downtime.
