Services
Facelift
A facelift addresses aging signs in the lower face and neck by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Ideal for patients seeking natural rejuvenation, this procedure reduces jowls, smooths wrinkles, and restores youthful contours. Dr. Guenther employs deep-plane techniques for longer-lasting results without the 'pulled' look. Recovery typically takes 2-3 weeks, with final outcomes visible after 3-6 months.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances size and shape using silicone or saline implants. Customizable options include implant type, placement (submuscular or subglandular), and incision location. Ideal for women seeking fuller breasts post-pregnancy, weight loss, or for cosmetic enhancement. Recovery allows light activity within days, with full results after 3 months.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve proportion and function. Techniques include open or closed approaches for dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, or breathing correction. Suitable for cosmetic enhancement or functional repair. Swelling subsides over 6-12 months, with final results emerging gradually.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, often combined with liposuction. Ideal for post-pregnancy body contouring or post-weight-loss patients. Full recovery takes 6-8 weeks, with visible results improving as swelling resolves. Scars are strategically placed for minimal visibility.
BOTOX
BOTOX temporarily relaxes facial muscles to reduce wrinkles like frown lines and crow's feet. Results appear within 3-7 days, lasting 3-4 months. Ideal for non-surgical facial rejuvenation with no downtime. Regular maintenance preserves a youthful appearance.

Questions
What sets Coastal Plastic Surgery apart from other practices?
Dr. Guenther's dual board certification, training at top institutions, and focus on natural aesthetics distinguish us. Our team prioritizes personalized care and uses advanced techniques like 3D imaging for precise planning.
How long do facelift results last?
Deep-plane facelifts typically last 7-10 years before natural aging resumes. Maintenance with skincare and non-surgical treatments can extend results.
Is breast augmentation covered by insurance?
Cosmetic breast augmentation isn't covered, but reconstructive procedures post-mastectomy or for congenital defects may qualify. Our team assists with insurance verification.
What's the recovery time for a tummy tuck?
Most patients return to light activities within 2 weeks, with full recovery taking 6-8 weeks. Strenuous activities should be avoided for 3 months.
Can BOTOX treat excessive sweating?
Yes, BOTOX effectively reduces hyperhidrosis by blocking sweat gland signals. Results last 6-12 months, with repeat treatments maintaining effects.
Do you offer non-surgical alternatives?
We provide BOTOX, fillers, laser treatments, and CoolSculpting for patients seeking minimal downtime. These can complement or delay surgical options.
