Revolutionary awake liposuction procedure designed to remove stubborn, diet-and-exercise-resistant fat from problem areas in just one visit. This minimally invasive technique allows patients to stay awake during the procedure, enabling surgeons to precisely target difficult areas. Compared to general anesthesia, this approach is safer and results in a quicker and more comfortable recovery for patients.

Groundbreaking procedure that combines the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) with the innovative FlexSculpt^® technology, offering a comprehensive body contouring solution. Unlike traditional BBLs, Double BBL^® involves two stages performed under local anesthesia for greater precision and safety. First, FlexSculpt^® removes stubborn fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. This minimally invasive technique allows for precise targeting and quicker recovery. The harvested fat is then purified for the next stage. In the second stage, the purified fat is injected into the buttocks to enhance shape and volume. What makes Double BBL^® unique is our approach to also filling hip dips, creating a balanced, natural-looking enhancement.

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a transformative procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the abdominal area, while also tightening and restoring the underlying muscles. This procedure is highly effective for achieving a smoother, firmer midsection and significantly improving overall body contour.

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, enhances the size and shape of a woman's breasts through the placement of implants. Many women experience dissatisfaction with their breast size or shape, with studies showing that around 70% feel this way at some point in their lives. Breast augmentation addresses these concerns by increasing size, correcting asymmetry, and restoring volume lost due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation is a natural alternative to traditional breast implants, using your own fat to enhance the size and shape of your breasts. This innovative procedure combines liposuction and fat grafting techniques to achieve a fuller, more contoured breast appearance. The process begins with FlexSculpt^®, a minimally invasive liposuction technique, to remove unwanted fat under local anesthesia, from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The harvested fat is then carefully purified and injected into the breasts to achieve the desired enhancement. This method not only increases breast size but also improves body contour by removing excess fat from problem areas.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts, addressing issues like drooping and asymmetry caused by aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics. By removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, a breast lift restores a youthful, perky appearance. Did you know that according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of breast lift procedures in the United States has surged by 70% over the past decade, outpacing the growth of breast augmentation surgeries?  During a breast lift, the surgeon skillfully makes incisions to remove excess skin and reshape the breast tissue. The nipple and areola are often repositioned higher for a more youthful look, and in some cases, the areola size is reduced for better proportion. The result is a firmer, uplifted breast contour that enhances your natural beauty and boosts your confidence.

Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to decrease the size of overly large breasts, addressing issues such as back pain, neck pain, and shoulder grooves caused by bra straps. This procedure not only alleviates physical discomfort but also improves the overall proportion and appearance of the breasts. During a breast reduction, the surgeon skillfully removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size that is more in proportion with your body. The nipple and areola are often repositioned to a higher, more natural position, and the size of the areola can be reduced if necessary. The result is a smaller, more lifted breast contour that enhances your natural beauty and significantly improves your quality of life by relieving physical discomfort and boosting your confidence.

Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, is a procedure designed to reduce the size of enlarged male breasts caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, obesity, or certain medications. This condition, known as gynecomastia, can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress. We use FlexSculpt^®, a minimally invasive liposuction technique, to remove excess fat and glandular tissue. FlexSculpt^® ensures precise targeting and minimal downtime, providing a firmer, more contoured chest. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety. The benefits of gynecomastia surgery with FlexSculpt® include a more masculine chest contour, improved self-confidence, and quicker recovery times. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within one to two weeks, with proper post-operative care essential for optimal results.
