Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation increases breast size and improves shape through implants or fat transfer. Ideal candidates include women seeking enhanced proportions, post-pregnancy restoration, or reconstructive solutions. Our approach combines technical precision with artistic evaluation to determine optimal implant type, placement, and incision technique. Patients benefit from personalized consultations, advanced surgical methods, and comprehensive post-operative care for natural, lasting results.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells without surgery. This FDA-approved treatment targets areas like the abdomen, thighs, and double chin through cryolipolysis technology. Patients enjoy no downtime, with visible results emerging over 1-3 months as the body naturally processes treated fat cells. Our practice utilizes advanced applicators for faster treatment and customized protocols to achieve body contouring goals.
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses age-related facial changes by tightening skin and repositioning tissues. Techniques range from mini-lifts to full SMAS procedures, customized for individual anatomy. The operation improves jawline definition, reduces jowls, and smooths creases while maintaining natural expression. Patients receive personalized recovery plans and benefit from Dr. Lee's expertise in creating youthful, balanced facial aesthetics.
Agnes RF Treatment
Agnes RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to improve skin texture and reduce wrinkles. This minimally invasive treatment targets acne, sagging skin, and fat deposits through insulated needles delivering precise thermal energy. Patients experience minimal downtime with progressive skin tightening and collagen stimulation over weeks. The procedure offers customizable depth settings for optimal results in facial and body applications.
Botox Injections
Botox injections temporarily reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by facial muscle movement. This neuromodulator smooths forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines by relaxing targeted muscles. Treatments take minutes with immediate return to daily activities. Results appear within days, lasting 3-6 months. Our approach combines medical expertise with artistic evaluation to maintain natural expression while achieving a refreshed appearance.
