Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation increases breast size and enhances shape through implants or fat transfer. Ideal for women seeking improved body proportions, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Dr. Sena's expertise ensures natural-looking results that boost self-confidence while maintaining comfort and safety.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms. This body contouring solution benefits individuals near their ideal weight who struggle with localized fat. Dr. Sena's technique prioritizes smooth results and proportionate silhouettes while minimizing recovery time.
Facelift
Facelift surgery reduces visible aging signs by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Suitable for those with facial sagging or deep creases, this procedure restores a youthful appearance. Dr. Sena's approach maintains natural facial expressions while achieving long-lasting, subtle enhancements.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck flattens and firms the abdominal area by removing excess skin and tightening muscles. Often chosen after weight loss or pregnancy, this procedure creates a sculpted midsection. Dr. Sena combines technical precision with aesthetic judgment to deliver balanced, functional results.
Non-Surgical Rejuvenation
Non-surgical options like Botox and fillers address fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss without downtime. These treatments benefit patients seeking subtle improvements or maintenance between surgeries. Dr. Sena tailors injectable combinations to enhance natural features while preventing over-treatment.

Questions
What distinguishes a board-certified plastic surgeon from a cosmetic surgeon?
Board-certified plastic surgeons complete rigorous training and pass exams by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, maintaining standards through continuing education. Cosmetic surgeons may lack this specialized accreditation.
Where will my plastic surgery be performed?
Procedures occur at Lawrence & Memorial Hospital in New London or River Valley Surgery Center in Norwich, both accredited facilities ensuring patient safety and quality care.
What anesthesia options are available for plastic surgery?
Most procedures use IV sedation (twilight sleep), while major surgeries like tummy tucks require general anesthesia, determined by procedure complexity and patient safety.
How should I prepare for plastic surgery?
Stop smoking 4 weeks pre-op, avoid blood-thinning medications, and discuss all supplements with Dr. Sena to minimize risks and optimize healing outcomes.
Is plastic surgery painful?
Postoperative discomfort varies by procedure but typically subsides within days. Dr. Sena prescribes tailored pain management to ensure patient comfort during recovery.
