Breast augmentation is one of the most popular procedures performed today. It increases the size and improves the shape of women’s breasts through the use of Saline or Silicone implants. There is a very high degree of satisfaction for an operation that takes about 1 hour to complete.

Breast augmentation is done under general anesthesia in an out-patient facility and is safe and effective.

Some patients prefer saline implants while others prefer silicone-gel implants. Silicone-gel implants feel more natural and are preferred by most of our patients. Patients are able to return to light work within 1 week. I would Love to discuss Breast implants with you.

Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from your abdominal area. The abdominal muscles are usually tightened as well. This creates a firmer and flatter stomach especially following childbirth or major weight loss. Usually, the entire waist, hips and love handles are sculpted at the same time with precision lipo-sculpture.

The tummy tuck is a common procedure performed in an out-patient surgery center using general anesthesia. Patients are generally highly satisfied with their new waist and tummy. Scars are hidden by undergarments and most patients can return to light work in about 10-14 days.

Rhinoplasty, commonly called a “nose job“, is a surgical procedure performed to alter the size and/or shape of one’s nose. Usually patients have one major complaint about the appearance of their nose, such as a large hump, while others complain of a thick or drooping tip.

Before and After photo of a patient
Rhinoplasty gives us the ability to bring the nose into balance by reducing the hump and refining the tip. It also can correct a drooping tip and is very effective in bringing harmony and beauty to the entire face. It is a rewarding procedure for most patients and is performed under general anesthesia as an out-patient procedure. Patients may return to light work/activity in about 1 week.

Rhytidectomy, also known as facelift, is a common plastic surgery procedure used to rejuvinate the face by smoothening wrinkles, tightening sagging skin of both the face and the neck.

Everyone has different amounts of facial drooping or sagging which become bothersome over time. Younger patients are usually concerned about the appearance of jowls which frequently is the first sign of facial aging. For these patients, a short-scar facelift or “mini-lift” are ideal and highly effective and rewarding and can be completed in about 2 hours with local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Recovery is rapid. For patients with more severe loosness of the face and neck, a standard face lift works well to smoothen the neck and facial skin. Facelifts are frequently combined with eyelid surgery, browlift, fat transfer.
I’m really interested in your thoughts. I would love to disuss this with you.
