Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation uses implants to enhance breast size and shape, addressing volume loss or asymmetry. Ideal for patients seeking proportionate curves, this procedure offers customizable options for implant type and placement. Our approach prioritizes natural results while ensuring patient safety and satisfaction through detailed pre-operative planning.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck procedures remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles for a smoother contour. Suitable for post-pregnancy or weight-loss patients, this surgery addresses stubborn belly fat and laxity. We focus on minimizing scarring while achieving functional and aesthetic improvements for long-lasting results.
Facelift
Facelift surgery reduces visible aging signs by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Targeting jowls, sagging cheeks, and neck laxity, this procedure restores youthful definition. Our technique emphasizes natural-looking outcomes, avoiding over-tightened appearances while enhancing facial harmony.
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic temporarily smooths dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Commonly used for frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases, this non-surgical treatment offers quick results with minimal downtime. We tailor injection plans to maintain natural facial movement while reducing aging signs.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin's surface to improve texture and tone. This non-invasive treatment addresses mild acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. Regular sessions promote collagen production, leaving skin refreshed and more radiant without significant recovery time.

AMAZING! Him, Wendy, the surgical staff; everyone I dealt with was absolutely AMAZING! Leaps and bounds better than my previous experience with Dr. Frederico Gonzalez out of Premier Plastic Surgery 15 yrs ago. **THANK YOU, Dr. Barnthouse!** Dr. Barnthouse has a wonderful bedside manner. I never felt rushed or misinformed. I clearly knew all details including all pricing! I love great communication! He WILL do my tummy tuck! 100%
