Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through implant placement. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions or post-mastectomy reconstruction. Our board-certified surgeon uses advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking results while prioritizing safety and patient education about potential outcomes and recovery processes.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty corrects nasal deformities and improves breathing function. This procedure addresses both aesthetic concerns and structural issues. We provide comprehensive preoperative counseling to establish realistic expectations, using photographic examples to guide patients toward optimal surgical outcomes.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and tightens underlying muscles. Suitable for post-pregnancy body contouring or post-weight loss reshaping. Our hospital-based approach ensures maximum safety while delivering transformative results that enhance patients' confidence and comfort in their appearance.
Facelift
Facelift surgery tightens facial skin and muscles to restore youthful contours. This procedure addresses age-related sagging and wrinkles. We combine technical expertise with artistic judgment to create natural, long-lasting improvements that enhance patients' overall facial harmony and self-assurance.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to improve body proportions. Effective for stubborn areas resistant to diet and exercise. Our advanced techniques ensure smooth results while maintaining patient safety through board-certified anesthetic management and proper facility selection.

I had a rhinoplasty done by Dr. Gikas and it was the best decision I've ever made! The thing that stood out the most is how intelligent he is about face structure. I noticed that he really takes the time and knows exactly what will look good on you. I've never been so confident he gave me the nose I always dreamed of and made it come true.

Got a rhinoplasty with Dr. Gikas. He is truly an amazing doctor, super knowledgeable at what he does. I am 2 months Post Op and I couldn't be happier with my results. Bruising and swelling during recovery were extremely minimal for me. Barely any pain. Follow ups are always quick and pleasant. They make sure to listen to all your needs and questions. Sherri is very sweet and there is something so comforting about her. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

I can't explain how incredibly happy I am to have booked and gotten a rhinoplasty with Dr. Gikas! They are extremely booked, but so worth the wait! From the consultations to the appointments after the surgery, they made sure to know how I was healing and looking. Dr. Gikas made sure to go over exactly what I wanted and diagnosed my nose by giving me a septoplasty as well. I'd also like to mention that during my healing process, I felt little to no pain and had very mild bruising.
I used the pain medication maybe once or twice for the 8 days I had my cast and stuck with tylenol here and there. I was so happy I barely bruised and visibly healed after 8 days because I had my sisters wedding a month after. I'm truly thankful to have had Dr. Gikas as my surgeon! Even the secretary was super helpful and reassuring of any concerns I had. I love the way my nose looks and feels. I recommend Dr. Gikas to anyone who is looking for a surgeon!
