Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions or post-pregnancy restoration. Our approach prioritizes natural results with careful implant selection and placement techniques. Patients benefit from personalized consultations using 3D imaging technology to visualize potential outcomes.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles for a flatter profile. Particularly beneficial after pregnancy or weight loss, this procedure improves both appearance and core strength. Our patients report functional benefits including improved posture and reduced back pain, with many experiencing enhanced confidence in their physical appearance.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery rejuvenates the eye area by removing excess skin and fat deposits. Upper eyelid procedures address vision obstruction and headaches caused by hooded lids, while lower blepharoplasty reduces puffiness and dark circles. Patients achieve a more alert, youthful appearance with minimal scarring and natural-looking results.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms. This body contouring procedure creates smoother silhouettes where diet and exercise haven't succeeded. Our technique focuses on proportion enhancement rather than weight loss, with patients experiencing improved body confidence and clothing fit.
Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover combines procedures to address post-pregnancy body changes, typically including breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction. This customized approach restores pre-pregnancy contours and improves self-confidence. Our patients often report enhanced quality of life, with physical comfort improvements alongside aesthetic transformations that help them feel more connected to their post-baby bodies.

Dr Greenberg is a gifted talented plastic surgeon. She is kind, professional and compassionate. I came to her for a tummy tuck for functional reasons. After weight loss and seven hip surgeries I was having trouble bending down to tie my shoes. Boy, did she work her magic on me! She has the experience and natural ability to sculpt the human body. I would highly recommend her for your plastic surgery. I was truly shocked by her ability to make me look 20 years younger. Thank you to all the women who wrote reviews as this really helps when choosing a surgeon. Cheryl useitdontabuseit.me

Dr. Lauren Greenberg is so real, to the point and very knowledgeable when it comes to human anatomy and her craft. I trusted her immediately and she was able to achieve exactly what I was hoping for. I had implants that had migrated due to poor support, tons of exercise and a chest wall that is slanted which over time the implants slid towards my armpits leaving absolutely no fullness where I wanted it. she exchanged my old implants for slightly bigger however how she used mesh and some manipulation of my breast pocket so that this won't happen again was pretty amazing.
All of her advice and detailed work has made an amazing difference in how my Breasts look and I won't have the same problem again. She doesn't sugar coat anything And I think that is what I appreciated the most. I highly recommend her and she just has a great eye for aesthetic.

I highly recommend Dr. Greenberg! She is a very skilled plastic surgeon and an amazing artist! She genuinely cares about her patients and takes her time to explain all the details and every question that might come up pre and post surgery. Her assistant Justine is also very caring and professional. I love my results years later and couldn't be happier!

Six years later and I'm still such a fan of Dr. Greenberg. I know there are plenty of talented plastic surgeons in the Bay Area, but I wouldn't trust anyone else. She's perfected fat grafting like few others and the results are truly amazing. Plus she's just a really kind and caring person. I trust her implicitly and that's a real find with any doctor.
