Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation procedures use implants or fat transfer techniques to enhance breast size and shape. Our board-certified surgeons create customized treatment plans considering patients' body proportions and aesthetic goals. This procedure addresses congenital defects, post-pregnancy changes, or personal preference for improved self-confidence through enhanced contours.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits through minimally invasive techniques. Our surgeons target specific areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms to achieve proportionate body contours. This procedure complements healthy lifestyle habits by addressing diet-resistant fat pockets for lasting aesthetic improvement.
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to tighten underlying tissues and remove excess skin. This comprehensive approach restores youthful contours while maintaining natural facial expressions for patients seeking significant rejuvenation.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores natural appearance after mastectomy using implants or autologous tissue. Our surgeons specialize in DIEP flap techniques and immediate reconstruction options. This procedure focuses on both aesthetic restoration and emotional healing for cancer survivors.
Gender-Affirming Surgery
Gender-affirming procedures include top surgery, vaginoplasty, and phalloplasty for transgender and non-binary individuals. Our surgeons prioritize functional outcomes alongside aesthetic considerations. These procedures support patients' gender transition journeys with compassionate, specialized care.

Very long delayed, over an hour! Large group of staff had meeting during my appointment time! Clerks rotate to customers dismay. Unprofessional.

Dr. Ellis is thorough and answers questions thoughtfully. He is very detailed and professional. Dr. Ellis is helping with an incision infection from my brain surgery 4 months ago and I'm grateful for his personable care.
