Breast Enhancement
Whether you’re experiencing physical discomfort or seeking to enhance your appearance, our comprehensive breast procedures can help you achieve your goals. Our experienced plastic surgeons will work with you to determine the most appropriate treatment for your unique needs.
Breast augmentation increases breast size and restores volume using silicone or saline implants. This procedure is particularly popular among women who have experienced volume loss after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight changes, as well as those seeking to enhance naturally smaller breasts or correct asymmetry.
Breast augmentation can:
- Increase breast fullness and projection
- Improve overall body proportions
- Enhance self-confidence and body image
- Correct size differences between breasts
A breast lift addresses sagging or drooping breast tissue by repositioning the breast and nipple to a more youthful position. This procedure is ideal for women whose breasts have lost their shape and firmness due to natural aging processes.
While a breast lift doesn’t significantly change breast size, it creates a more youthful, uplifted appearance. For patients seeking both increased volume and lifting, breast augmentation and lift procedures can be performed simultaneously or separately, depending on your specific goals and anatomy.
Common causes of breast sagging include:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Weight fluctuations
- Natural aging
- Gravity
- Genetics
Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create breasts that are better proportioned to your body frame. This procedure can provide significant relief from physical symptoms associated with overly large breasts, including chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as skin irritation and difficulty finding properly fitting clothing.
Many patients find that breast reduction dramatically improves their quality of life and allows them to participate more comfortably in physical activities. This procedure may be covered by insurance when performed for medical rather than cosmetic reasons.
Male breast reduction addresses gynecomastia, a condition where men develop enlarged breast tissue that creates a more feminine chest contour. This common condition affects up to 40% of men at some point in their lives and can occur at any age, from adolescence through adulthood.
The procedure removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and sometimes skin to create a flatter, more masculine chest appearance. Depending on your specific case, treatment may involve liposuction alone or a combination of liposuction and surgical tissue removal.
Gynecomastia can result from several factors, including:
- Hormonal changes during puberty or aging
- Certain medications
- Medical conditions affecting hormone levels
- Weight gain
- Genetics
Our plastic surgeons will evaluate your individual situation to determine the best approach for achieving your desired chest contour and restoring your confidence.
Body Contouring
Achieving significant weight loss is a tremendous accomplishment that deserves celebration. However, dramatic weight changes, pregnancy, and aging can leave behind excess skin and stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise alone. Body contouring procedures help you complete your transformation by removing excess skin, eliminating localized fat, and reshaping your silhouette to match your new, healthier lifestyle.
These surgical procedures restore smoother contours and improve the underlying support tissue, allowing you to fully enjoy the results of your hard work and dedication to better health.
An arm lift addresses sagging upper arm skin, often called “bat wings,” that commonly develops after significant weight loss or as a natural part of aging. This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a more toned and proportionate arm contour that allows you to feel confident in sleeveless clothing.
A body lift is a comprehensive procedure that addresses multiple areas simultaneously, typically targeting the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs. This extensive surgery is often recommended for patients who have experienced massive weight loss and have excess skin in multiple body areas. The procedure can dramatically improve body contours and eliminate the discomfort and hygiene issues associated with excess skin folds.
A buttock lift removes excess skin and fat from the buttock area while lifting and reshaping the remaining tissue to create a more youthful, rounded appearance. This procedure can address sagging that occurs due to aging, weight loss, or genetics, restoring a firmer, more attractive buttock contour.
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits that resist traditional weight loss methods, improving body proportions and creating smoother contours. This procedure can address areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back, and neck to create a more balanced, sculpted appearance.
While liposuction effectively removes localized fat and creates a slimmer silhouette, it’s important to understand that it’s not a weight loss solution or treatment for obesity. The best candidates are already near their ideal weight but struggle with specific areas of fat accumulation. Liposuction also cannot address cellulite or loose skin, and it should complement, not replace, a healthy diet and regular exercise routine.
A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and fat while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles to create a flatter, more toned appearance. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals whose abdominal area has been affected by pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging.
Common reasons for abdominal concerns include:
Beyond removing excess tissue, a tummy tuck can eliminate stretch marks located below the belly button and restore abdominal muscle integrity that may have been compromised during pregnancy or weight gain.
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Substantial weight fluctuations
- Natural aging processes
- Previous surgical procedures
- Genetic predisposition to abdominal fat storage
Many patients benefit from combining multiple body contouring procedures during a single surgical session or as part of a staged treatment plan. Our plastic surgeons will evaluate your individual needs, overall health, and aesthetic goals to recommend the most effective approach for achieving your desired results safely and efficiently.
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation procedures address the natural signs of aging that develop over time, helping restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance while maintaining your unique facial characteristics. Whether you’re concerned about wrinkles, sagging skin, loss of volume, or other age-related changes, our comprehensive range of facial procedures can help you achieve natural-looking results that enhance your confidence.
Our plastic surgeons specialize in both subtle enhancements and more comprehensive facial transformations, always focusing on creating balanced, harmonious results that look authentically you. From surgical procedures that provide long-lasting improvements to minimally invasive options with shorter recovery times, we’ll help you choose the approach that best aligns with your goals and lifestyle.
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, addresses sagging eyebrows and forehead wrinkles that can make you appear tired, angry, or older than you feel. This procedure rejuvenates the upper third of your face by repositioning drooping brow tissues and smoothing forehead lines.
A brow lift can:
- Reduce horizontal forehead wrinkles and frown lines
- Eliminate deep furrows between the eyebrows
- Raise sagging eyebrows to a more youthful position
- Create a more alert, refreshed appearance
- Improve vision obstruction caused by drooping brows
Brow lifts are often combined with eyelid surgery, facelifts, and skin resurfacing procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Cheek augmentation enhances facial contours by adding volume and definition to the cheekbone area. As we age, we naturally lose facial volume, particularly in the mid-face region, which can create a sunken or hollow appearance. This procedure restores youthful fullness and can be achieved through implants or fat transfer techniques.
Cheek augmentation can:
- Restore lost facial volume due to aging
- Enhance naturally flat or underdeveloped cheekbones
- Improve overall facial balance and proportion
- Create more defined facial contours
- Complement other facial procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation
The procedure can be performed using cheek implants for permanent results or fat grafting using your own tissue for a more natural enhancement.
Chin augmentation, or mentoplasty, enhances the size and projection of the chin to improve facial balance and profile. A well-proportioned chin plays a crucial role in overall facial harmony, and even small improvements can create significant aesthetic enhancement.
This procedure can address:
- A weak or receding chin
- Poor facial proportion and balance
- An undefined jawline
- Asymmetrical chin appearance
Chin augmentation can be performed using implants or fat transfer, and is often combined with rhinoplasty or facelift procedures. The goal is to create natural-looking results that enhance your existing features rather than dramatically altering your appearance.
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, reshapes, repositions, or reduces the size of the ears to improve their proportion and appearance. This procedure can address congenital ear deformities or ears that have become misshapen due to injury, helping patients feel more confident about their appearance.
Ear surgery can treat:
- Overly large ears (macrotia)
- Protruding or prominent ears
- Asymmetrical ears
- Ear deformities present from birth
- Stretched or torn earlobes
- Dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery
Otoplasty is commonly performed on children as young as five years old, as well as adults who wish to address long-standing concerns about their ear appearance.
Eyelid surgery rejuvenates the eye area by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat that can make you appear tired or older. This procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your specific concerns and aesthetic goals.
Upper eyelid surgery addresses:
- Drooping or sagging upper eyelid skin
- Excess skin that impairs vision
- Puffy upper eyelids due to fat deposits
Lower eyelid surgery improves:
- Under-eye bags and puffiness
- Excess skin and fine wrinkles
- Dark circles or hollowing under the eyes
- Drooping lower eyelids
When eyelid drooping significantly impairs vision, this procedure may be covered by insurance. Your surgeon will evaluate your condition to determine if you qualify for coverage.
A facelift addresses visible signs of aging in the face and neck by tightening underlying muscles, repositioning facial tissues, and removing excess skin. This comprehensive procedure can take years off your appearance while maintaining your natural facial characteristics.
Facelift surgery can improve:
- Sagging facial skin and deep creases
- Nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth corners)
- Lost facial volume and displaced fat
- Jowls and undefined jawline
- Loose neck skin and double chin
- “Turkey neck” appearance
Modern facelift techniques focus on creating natural-looking results that restore youthful contours without an “overdone” appearance. The procedure is often combined with brow lifts and eyelid surgery for complete facial rejuvenation.
Lip enhancement creates fuller, more defined lips while maintaining natural proportions and movement. This procedure can address thin lips, age-related volume loss, or asymmetry to create a more youthful and balanced appearance.
Lip enhancement options include:
- Injectable fillers for temporary volume enhancement
- Fat transfer for longer-lasting natural results
- Lip implants for permanent augmentation
- Lip lift procedures to enhance the upper lip shape
The goal is to create lips that complement your facial features while maintaining natural-looking results. Your surgeon will recommend the best approach based on your desired outcome and facial anatomy.
A neck lift specifically targets aging concerns in the neck area, including loose skin, muscle banding, and excess fat deposits. This procedure can be performed alone or in combination with a facelift for comprehensive lower face and neck rejuvenation.
Neck lift surgery addresses:
- Loose, sagging neck skin
- Prominent neck muscle bands (platysmal bands)
- Excess fat deposits causing double chin appearance
- “Turkey neck” or “waddle” appearance
- Loss of definition between jaw and neck
The procedure tightens underlying neck muscles, removes excess skin, and may include liposuction to eliminate stubborn fat deposits, creating a more defined and youthful neck contour.
Rhinoplasty, commonly called a “nose job,” reshapes the nose to improve both appearance and function. This versatile procedure can address cosmetic concerns while also correcting breathing problems caused by structural abnormalities.
Rhinoplasty can modify:
- Overall nose size and proportions
- Bridge width and height
- Nostril size and shape
- Nasal tip projection and definition
- Profile irregularities (bumps or depressions)
- Asymmetry or deviation
- Bulbous, droopy, or upturned nasal tips
- Structural defects affecting breathing
The goal of rhinoplasty is to create a nose that appears natural and harmonious with your other facial features while potentially improving breathing function. Results should enhance your overall facial balance rather than create an obviously “surgical” appearance.
Non-surgical Treatments
Non-surgical cosmetic treatments offer effective solutions for facial rejuvenation and enhancement without the downtime associated with surgery. These minimally invasive procedures can address fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, and skin texture concerns, often with immediate or gradual results that look natural and refreshed.
Whether used as standalone treatments or in combination with surgical procedures, non-surgical options provide flexibility in achieving your aesthetic goals. Many patients appreciate the ability to maintain their results with periodic treatments while enjoying the convenience of minimal recovery time and the option to make gradual improvements over time.
Botox is a purified neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—those lines that form when you smile, frown, or squint. By blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, Botox prevents them from contracting, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Botox effectively treats:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Bunny lines on the nose bridge
- Lip lines and gummy smile
Results typically appear within 3-7 days and last 3-4 months. Regular treatments can help prevent the formation of deeper, permanent wrinkles by training muscles to remain relaxed.
Dermal fillers restore lost facial volume and smooth wrinkles by injecting gel-like substances beneath the skin. These treatments provide immediate results and can address various signs of aging throughout the face.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (Juvederm®, Restylane®)
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture. When injected as a dermal filler, it plumps the skin from within, smoothing wrinkles and restoring youthful volume. These fillers are particularly effective for:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Lip enhancement and definition
- Under-eye hollows
- Cheek volume restoration
Voluma® Facial Volume Injections
Juvederm Voluma is specifically designed to restore volume to the cheeks and mid-face area. This longer-lasting filler can lift and contour the cheeks, providing a more youthful facial profile. Voluma results can last up to two years, making it an excellent option for patients seeking significant volume restoration with minimal maintenance.
Results from dermal fillers are immediate, with optimal results visible after any initial swelling subsides. Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 6-18 months, depending on the product used and treatment area.
Many patients achieve optimal results by combining multiple non-surgical treatments. For example, Botox can address dynamic wrinkles while dermal fillers restore volume. Your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and goals.
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery restores both function and appearance to areas of the body affected by birth defects, trauma, developmental abnormalities, or medical conditions such as cancer, infections, or disease. While the prospect of reconstructive surgery may feel overwhelming, our board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon provides compassionate, personalized care to help you achieve optimal functionality and aesthetic outcomes.
Unlike cosmetic procedures, reconstructive surgery addresses medical necessity and is typically covered by most health insurance plans, though specific procedures and coverage levels may vary based on your individual plan and circumstances.

Breast reconstruction rebuilds the breast shape following mastectomy, lumpectomy, or trauma, helping restore your sense of wholeness and confidence. This complex process often requires multiple staged procedures to achieve optimal results.
Reconstruction Options:
Implant-Based Reconstruction: Uses breast implants to create a new breast mound, often requiring tissue expanders initially to gradually stretch the chest tissue.
Flap Reconstruction: Creates a new breast using your own tissue from another body area, such as the abdomen, back, or buttocks, providing a more natural feel and appearance.
Factors influencing your reconstruction approach:
- Body type and available donor tissue
- Cancer treatment plan (chemotherapy, radiation)
- Type and extent of mastectomy
- Personal preferences and lifestyle considerations
- Timing preferences (immediate vs. delayed reconstruction)
For unilateral reconstruction, symmetry procedures on the unaffected breast may be recommended to achieve balanced, natural-looking results. Most insurance plans provide comprehensive coverage for breast reconstruction and related symmetry procedures.
Our plastic surgeon specializes in removing skin cancers while minimizing cosmetic impact through advanced reconstruction techniques. We work closely with oncologists to ensure complete cancer removal while optimizing aesthetic outcomes.
Our approach includes:
- Precise surgical excision with clear margins
- Immediate reconstruction using local tissue rearrangement
- Complex reconstruction with skin grafts or tissue flaps
- Mohs surgery collaboration for challenging cases
- Staged reconstruction for extensive defects
While all surgery results in some scarring, our surgeon employs meticulous techniques to minimize visible changes and preserve normal function, particularly in cosmetically sensitive areas like the face.
Scar revision improves the appearance of existing scars through various surgical and non-surgical techniques. While scars cannot be completely eliminated, we can significantly reduce their visibility and improve texture, color, and flexibility.
Treatment options vary based on scar characteristics:
Minimally Invasive Procedures:
- Laser therapy for texture and color improvement
- Steroid injections for raised or keloid scars
- Dermabrasion for surface irregularities
Topical Treatments:
- Silicone gel sheets and scar creams
- Prescription medications for active scar management
Surgical Revision:
- Advanced closure techniques for optimal healing
- Tissue rearrangement to redirect scar placement
- Skin grafts or flaps for complex revisions
The best approach depends on your scar’s size, location, age, and characteristics. Our surgeons will evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most effective treatment plan.
Ear reconstruction addresses congenital ear deformities, traumatic injuries, or developmental abnormalities that affect ear shape, position, or function. These procedures can significantly improve both appearance and self-confidence.
Conditions we treat:
- Microtia (underdeveloped or absent ears)
- Prominent or protruding ears
- Ear trauma from accidents or injuries
- Congenital ear deformities
- Earlobe repair and reconstruction
Treatment approaches vary from simple repositioning procedures to complex reconstruction using rib cartilage grafts for severe deformities.
Panniculectomy removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen when it causes medical problems or interferes with daily activities. Unlike a cosmetic tummy tuck, this procedure is performed for medical necessity.
Medical indications include:
- Chronic skin infections or rashes beneath the pannus
- Difficulty with hygiene and daily activities
- Back pain caused by excess abdominal weight
- Mobility limitations
This procedure focuses on removing the problematic tissue rather than creating an aesthetic result, though improved appearance is often a welcome benefit.
Our surgeon specializes in complex wound closure techniques that optimize healing and minimize scarring. We treat both acute injuries and chronic wounds that have failed to heal properly.
Services include:
- Emergency laceration repair with cosmetic closure techniques
- Chronic wound management and closure
- Traumatic injury reconstruction
- Surgical wound revision and improvement
- Advanced closure techniques for optimal healing
We focus on both functional restoration and aesthetic outcomes, particularly for wounds in visible areas.
Advanced reconstruction using skin grafts and tissue flaps allows us to repair large or complex defects that cannot be closed with simple techniques.
Reconstruction options:
- Split-thickness and full-thickness skin grafts
- Local tissue flaps for smaller defects
- Regional flaps for moderate-sized reconstruction
- Free tissue transfer (microvascular surgery) for complex cases
These techniques are commonly used after skin cancer removal, trauma, or other conditions requiring extensive tissue replacement.
