Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Ideal for women seeking fuller contours, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss post-pregnancy. Dr. Piro tailors implant selection to each patients anatomy and goals, ensuring natural results. Recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks of limited activity, with final outcomes visible after swelling subsides. Patients report improved self-esteem and clothing fit.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and tightens muscles weakened by pregnancy or weight loss. This procedure creates a flatter, toned midsection by addressing both fat and tissue laxity. Recovery requires 2-4 weeks of restricted movement, with scarring minimized along natural contours. Patients often combine this with liposuction for comprehensive body contouring, achieving long-lasting results with proper diet and exercise.
Facelift
Facelift surgery reduces visible aging signs by tightening skin and underlying tissues. It addresses jowls, deep creases, and neck laxity, restoring a youthful facial contour. Techniques preserve natural expressions while avoiding an over-pulled appearance. Most patients return to work within 2-3 weeks, with swelling resolving over several months. Complementary treatments like BOTOX extend results for a refreshed look.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Piro contours the body with minimal downtime. Results become apparent after initial swelling subsides, typically within 4-6 weeks. Ideal candidates maintain stable weight, as liposuction complementsnot replaceshealthy lifestyle habits. SmartLipo options offer skin-tightening benefits alongside fat removal.
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover combines procedures like breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction to restore pre-pregnancy contours. This customized approach addresses common concerns such as stretched skin, weakened muscles, and volume loss. Recovery spans 4-6 weeks, with staged surgeries available for complex cases. Patients often report renewed confidence and comfort in their postpartum bodies, enhancing both physical and emotional well-being.
