Services
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eye area by removing excess skin and fat deposits. This surgical procedure addresses droopy upper eyelids and puffy under-eye bags, restoring a rested, youthful appearance. Ideal candidates experience vision impairment from sagging skin or desire facial rejuvenation. Results typically last 5-10 years with proper skincare maintenance. The procedure takes 1-2 hours under anesthesia at our AAAASF-certified facility.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve proportion and breathing function. Our board-certified surgeons address size concerns, structural irregularities, and injury-related deformities. The procedure can be performed as septorhinoplasty for combined aesthetic and functional improvement. Patients enjoy permanent results that harmonize facial features, with recovery typically requiring 6-8 weeks for full activity resumption.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances volume and shape using saline or silicone implants. Customized for body proportions, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Incisions are strategically placed for minimal visibility, with implants positioned submuscularly for natural results. Recovery involves 4-6 weeks of limited activity, with long-term satisfaction in 95% of patients.
CoolSculpting Elite
CoolSculpting Elite eliminates stubborn fat through controlled cooling technology. FDA-cleared for abdomen, flanks, and thighs, this non-invasive treatment crystallizes fat cells for natural elimination. Results appear gradually over 4-12 weeks, with permanent fat reduction when maintained through healthy habits. Sessions last 35-75 minutes per treatment area.
Botox Injections
Botox injections smooth dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Effective for crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, results appear within 3-7 days and last 3-4 months. Our medical professionals use precise dosing to maintain natural expressions while reducing visible aging signs with minimal downtime.

Jenn at the reception desk was very helpful and friendly. I had such a wonderful experience with Carleen. She was professional, informative, and made me feel at ease. She explained everything and even asked me what my goals are. She is amazing at what she does. I will definitely be going back, and referring my family and friends.

Paid for a diastasis recti repair. He agreed to repair my abdomen from top to bottom. He repaired half or my abdomen and I am left with a gap from my belly button to my rib cage. My movement is still limited, my pain is still daily, my body is still ugly and I have swollen red scars to boot. Do not recommend.
