Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for patients seeking fuller contours, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Our surgeons prioritize natural results, using advanced techniques to ensure symmetry and proportion. Recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks of limited activity, with long-lasting outcomes.
Facelift
Facelift surgery restores a youthful appearance by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Targeting mid-face sagging and jowls, it often combines with fat grafting for volume. Performed under general anesthesia, recovery includes 2 weeks of swelling management. Results last 7-10 years, depending on skin care and lifestyle factors.
Abdominoplasty
The iTuck abdominoplasty removes excess skin and tightens muscles for a flatter abdomen. Incorporating liposuction and progressive tension sutures, it eliminates drains and reduces pain. Patients resume light work within a week but avoid heavy lifting for 6 weeks. Scars are strategically placed for minimal visibility.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery corrects drooping lids and under-eye bags for a refreshed look. Incisions follow natural creases to hide scars. Recovery involves 3-5 days of suture removal and makeup application. Most patients resume activities within 1-2 weeks, with subtle, natural results that avoid an over-operated appearance.
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting transfers harvested fat to areas needing volume, such as the face or hands. This natural alternative to fillers offers long-term results as fat integrates with tissues. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal fullness, with minimal downtime and low complication risk.
