Services
Facelift
Our deep plane facelift technique addresses mid-face sagging and jowling while preserving natural facial expressions. This procedure tightens underlying tissues and repositions fat to restore youthful contours with minimal visible scarring. Patients achieve refreshed appearances that maintain their unique facial identity through our surgeons' artistic approach.
Breast Reconstruction
We specialize in immediate and delayed breast reconstruction using advanced techniques like DIEP flap surgery and implant-based reconstruction. Our approach focuses on symmetry, natural texture, and minimal donor site morbidity while maintaining oncologic safety. Surgeons work closely with breast cancer teams to coordinate care timelines.
Rhinoplasty
Our rhinoplasty procedures address both aesthetic concerns and functional breathing issues through open or closed approaches. We emphasize structural preservation techniques that maintain nasal support while refining proportions. Computer imaging helps patients visualize potential outcomes before surgery.
Non-Surgical Treatments
We offer injectables, laser treatments, and skin resurfacing for patients seeking non-invasive rejuvenation. Services include Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser hair removal performed by trained aestheticians under physician supervision. These treatments complement surgical results or provide standalone maintenance.
Body Contouring
Our body contouring procedures address excess skin following significant weight loss through tummy tucks, thigh lifts, and arm lifts. Surgeons prioritize scar placement in natural creases while restoring smooth body proportions. We also perform mommy makeovers combining multiple procedures for post-pregnancy rejuvenation.
