Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants tailored to your body type and goals. Dr. Paulsen evaluates your anatomy and preferences to recommend saline or silicone options. Ideal for restoring volume lost after pregnancy or achieving proportionate curves, this procedure combines surgical precision with natural aesthetics. Recovery typically involves a few weeks of limited activity, with long-term results that boost confidence and self-image.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles for a flatter profile. Dr. Paulsen customizes the procedure to address post-pregnancy changes or weight fluctuations. Patients achieve a sculpted midsection unattainable through diet and exercise alone. Recovery requires temporary activity restrictions, but results are long-lasting with proper lifestyle maintenance, offering both aesthetic and functional improvements for eligible candidates.
Facelift
Facelifts reverse visible aging by tightening skin and underlying tissues for a youthful contour. Dr. Paulsen employs advanced techniques to address sagging jowls, deep creases, and neck laxity. The procedure delivers enduring results, often combined with eyelid surgery or brow lifts for comprehensive rejuvenation. Patients enjoy restored facial definition with natural-looking outcomes, reflecting decades of surgical expertise and attention to anatomical detail.
Eyelid Lift
Eyelid lifts correct drooping upper lids and under-eye bags to refresh your appearance. Dr. Paulsen removes excess skin and fat deposits, improving both vision and aesthetics. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visibility, fading over time. Ideal candidates experience rejuvenated, alert eyes that reflect their vitality, with results lasting years when combined with sun protection and healthy habits.
Liquid Facelift
Liquid facelifts use injectables like Botox and dermal fillers to temporarily smooth wrinkles and restore facial volume. Dr. Paulsen designs customized treatment plans to lift sagging areas without surgery. This minimally invasive option offers immediate return to daily activities, appealing to those seeking subtle rejuvenation or a transitional solution before surgical intervention. Results typically last 6-18 months, depending on product selection.
