offers contemporary aesthetic services to help men and women enhance
their appearance and sense of well being. All services are offered in an

Cosmetic Services
Unlike a generation ago, today’s most popular and
successful procedures do not involve long hospital stays or
extended recovery times. Rather, most procedures are
performed on an outpatient basis with markedly shorter
recovery times.
Surgical Services
Breast Procedures
A number of procedures can safely reshape or resize breasts.
- Breast augmentation
- Breast reduction
- Breast lift
Tummy Tuck
This procedure flattens the abdomen by removing excess fat
and skin and tightening muscles of the abdominal wall.
Liposuction
This procedure helps to improve body shape by removing
exercise-resistant fat deposits. Common locations for
liposuction include chin, cheeks, neck, upper arms, above
the breasts, abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, calves
and ankles.
Facial Surgery
The average facelift done today lasts ten to fifteen years.
The best candidates are men and women whose face and neck
have started to sag but have good skin elasticity. Strong
and well-defined bone structure is also a plus.
- Full face lift
- Neck lift
- Blepharoplasty to remove baggy eyelids
- Browlift
- Nose surgery
- Ear surgery
- Forehead lift
Facial Rejuvenation Services
Several non-surgical procedures are available to restore
wrinkled, blemished, unevenly pigmented or sun-damaged
facial skin.
