Breast Augmentation
This procedure enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Patients from Chicago and Northwest Indiana receive personalized consultations to determine implant type and placement. The surgery takes approximately two hours under general anesthesia at our adjacent accredited surgical center. Recovery typically involves mild to moderate discomfort managed with medication. Our practice emphasizes natural-looking results with options for both cosmetic enhancement and post-mastectomy reconstruction.
Facelift
Designed to reduce visible signs of aging, this procedure removes sagging skin and tightens underlying muscles. We offer classic, short-scar, and endoscopic techniques tailored to individual needs. Patients from Munster and Valparaiso benefit from our surgeon's expertise in achieving natural 10-15 year rejuvenation effects. The procedure includes pre-operative consultations, surgical execution, and comprehensive post-operative care within our state-of-the-art facilities.
Tummy Tuck
This body contouring procedure removes excess abdominal skin and tightens muscles following pregnancy or weight loss. We perform traditional and mini-tummy tucks depending on patient needs. The surgery addresses both aesthetic concerns and functional improvements in abdominal wall structure. Patients from Schererville and surrounding areas receive personalized treatment plans considering their specific anatomical requirements and desired outcomes.
Eyelid Surgery
Targeting upper and lower eyelid concerns, this procedure removes fat deposits and excess skin to create a more youthful appearance. Our surgeon employs minimal-incision techniques like transconjunctival approaches to reduce scarring. The treatment addresses both cosmetic improvements and potential vision enhancement. Patients receive comprehensive pre-operative education and post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and results.
Liposuction
We offer traditional, ultrasonic, and power-assisted liposuction techniques to remove stubborn fat deposits. Treatment areas include neck, abdomen, hips, thighs, and arms. Our Merrillville-based practice utilizes advanced equipment and safety protocols with anesthesia administered by certified professionals. The procedure combines body contouring benefits with minimal downtime, serving patients from Chicago and surrounding Michigan communities.
