Services
Facelifts
Facelift surgery repositions sagging facial skin to create a youthful appearance. Our proprietary Delta Facelift technique avoids overstretching for natural results. Patients enjoy long-lasting improvements in jowls, neck contour, and midface volume. Recovery typically requires 2-3 weeks before resuming work.
Breast Augmentation
Customizable breast augmentation uses saline, silicone, or fat transfer techniques to achieve desired volume and shape. Our approach prioritizes proportion and natural feel over size alone. Recovery period averages 4-6 weeks with final results visible after swelling subsides.
Liposuction
Minimally invasive liposuction removes stubborn fat from abdomen, hips, thighs, and arms. Can be combined with other procedures like tummy tucks for comprehensive body sculpting. Most patients return to work within a week but avoid strenuous activity for six weeks.
Injectables
BOTOX, fillers, and fat injections combat wrinkles and restore facial volume. Administered personally by Dr. Grotting using precise anatomical knowledge. Results appear immediately with minimal downtime, lasting 6-18 months depending on treatment.
Medspa Treatments
Our director-led medspa offers chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and HydraFacials to maintain youthful skin. Services complement surgical outcomes or serve as standalone anti-aging solutions. Treatments include SkinCeuticals products and Sciton laser technology.

Questions
Should I lose weight before surgery?
Significant weight loss (over 20 lbs) should precede surgery. Minor weight changes won't affect outcomes, but crash diets are discouraged before procedures.
Will I be happier after surgery?
Plastic surgery enhances self-confidence but doesn't solve personal or professional issues. Realistic expectations are crucial for satisfaction.
Will my facelift look stretched?
Our techniques avoid the 'wind-tunnel' look by repositioning tissues naturally without excessive skin tension.
How long do injectables last?
Results vary: neurotoxins last 3-6 months, fillers 6-18 months, with fat injections offering permanent volume.
Can injectables replace surgery?
Injectables provide temporary improvements but cannot match surgical results for facial rejuvenation or body contouring.
What's included in Mommy Makeovers?
Custom combinations of breast lifts, tummy tucks, and liposuction address post-pregnancy body changes for comprehensive rejuvenation.
