Services

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through implants or fat transfer techniques. Ideal candidates include women seeking improved proportions after pregnancy or weight loss. Our board-certified surgeons use advanced methods like gummy bear implants to achieve natural results while maintaining safety standards. The procedure addresses asymmetry and volume loss, with recovery typically involving 4-6 weeks of limited activity. Patients report increased confidence and satisfaction with their enhanced silhouette.

Facelift

Facelift surgery restores youthful facial contours by addressing sagging skin and deep creases. Short-scar techniques minimize incisions while achieving significant improvement in jowl formation and neck laxity. Most patients see dramatic results lasting 7-10 years. The procedure combines skin tightening with fat contouring for comprehensive rejuvenation. Recovery involves 2-3 weeks of social downtime, with final results emerging after swelling subsides.

Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck procedures remove excess abdominal skin and tighten underlying muscles for a flatter profile. Combining liposuction with muscle repair addresses post-pregnancy changes and significant weight loss effects. Patients typically resume light activity within 2 weeks, with full recovery taking 6-8 weeks. The procedure creates a more toned appearance that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve, with permanent results when weight remains stable.

BOTOX

BOTOX injections temporarily smooth dynamic wrinkles through muscle relaxation. Common treatment areas include crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between eyebrows. Results appear within 3-7 days and last 3-4 months. Regular maintenance preserves youthful appearance while preventing new lines from forming. The non-surgical treatment requires no downtime and delivers natural-looking results when administered by experienced providers.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Using tumescent techniques and advanced cannulas, surgeons sculpt areas like the abdomen, thighs, and back with precision. Recovery involves wearing compression garments for 4-6 weeks while swelling resolves. Results become visible after 3 months, offering permanent fat reduction when patients maintain stable weight through healthy lifestyle choices.

I have been a patient of Dr. Herbstman for about 5 years now and he is hands down the best! His staff is fantastic and very helpful. He is so caring, knowledgeable and takes the time to talk through all of your questions and concerns. I could not be happier with my results. You are in great hands!

I couldn't be happier with the results Dr. Herbstman has provided. After a significant weight loss, I was embarrassed by the way my skin sagged. Dr. H has given me a new body and an amazing self confidence. I've never felt this way. All of his staff are so kind and supportive. The concern and care they all give is life altering. I'm so grateful I made that first call.

I gave Dr. Herbstman my trust, and oh man, did he deliver! I had been insecure about my nose since I was about 6-7 years old. I'm confident in the other little imperfections that make me "me", however, the nose held me back from feeling good in pictures, being ok with people looking at me from the side, etc., so at 26 I started searching around for a surgeon I could trust with my face. I felt confident in Dr. H from the second I sat down with him and he explained the ins and outs of the procedure, recovery, etc.

Let's just say that although it takes about a year for the nose to reach its final form after rhinoplasty (it becomes more defined towards the end of recovery), I've been happy with it since the cast came off at 1 week post-op. I'm at 2 months post-op and even though it's going to keep getting more defined, my confidence is already through the roof. I should have done this years ago. Thank you, Dr. Herbstman!

Ashley is a GOD! Went in for an first time under eye filler and she did a fantastic job at explaining all the basic information. I felt absolutely comfort to let her perform her work. Wasn't left disappointed and walked out of the office feeling 10 years younger!

Went for a consultation for a mole removal - Dr was great, office staff was wonderful. The price they gave me was fair and I was ready to book the procedure. I asked to book at the time of the consult, they told me to call the following week. It's been 3 weeks and I've called and left 3 messages for Amy - I still haven't received a return call. But they happily took my $100 consultation fee. Beware of using this office.

Yelena is amazing, knowledgeable. and effective. My skin conditions were affecting my self esteem and with her treatments and techniques, I am able to wake up and greet the day without make up! No joke! I came to this practice ages ago (23) due to second and third degree burns on my legs that Dr. H. successfully treated. Here I am, as I age (51), turning back the clock thanks to Yelena and Dr. H.
