Services
Breast Augmentation
This surgical procedure enhances breast size and shape through silicone or saline implants. Ideal for women seeking volume restoration post-pregnancy, symmetry correction, or aesthetic enhancement. Our surgeons create customized implant placement plans using advanced techniques to minimize scarring while maximizing natural results. Patients receive comprehensive pre-operative education about implant options and recovery expectations.
Liposuction
Targeted fat removal procedure reshapes stubborn areas like abdomen, thighs, and arms. Best suited for patients near ideal weight with elastic skin. Performed under general anesthesia with recovery periods varying by treatment scope. Post-operative compression garments ensure optimal skin retraction while swelling subsides over 3-4 months for final results.
Facelift
Facial rejuvenation surgery addresses sagging skin and deep creases through strategic tissue repositioning. Combines skin tightening with fat transfer options for volume restoration. Custom incision patterns balance correction needs with scar minimization. Patients typically return to normal activities within 2-3 weeks with continued improvement over 3 months.
Eyelid Surgery
Corrects puffy eyelids and under-eye bags through precise skin and fat removal. Internal incisions eliminate external scarring for select candidates. Addresses both functional concerns and aesthetic improvements while preserving natural eye contours. Recovery involves minimal downtime with noticeable results appearing within weeks.
Breast Lift
Repositions sagging breast tissue and nipples to restore youthful contours. Addresses skin laxity from pregnancy, weight changes, or aging. Combines tissue reshaping with scar management techniques that fade over time. Can be performed with or without implants based on individual volume requirements and aesthetic goals.

Questions
How long should I expect bruising after facial surgery?
Most patients experience bruising and swelling for 10-14 days following facial procedures, with gradual improvement during this period.
Will fat return after liposuction if I gain weight?
Weight gain typically redistributes to natural fat storage areas like breasts and buttocks rather than treated zones after liposuction.
What breast implant options are available?
We offer both silicone gel and saline implants, with various profiles including moderate plus, high, and ultra-high options.
Which medications should I avoid before surgery?
We provide a detailed Medication Avoidance List outlining blood thinners and other substances to discontinue pre-operatively.
Can breast lift results be permanent?
While results last years, natural aging and gravity will eventually affect breast position despite successful mastopexy surgery.
