The secret to smooth, even liposuction results? It's called the SAFE technique. First, the fat is broken up, then removed, then the remaining fat is equilibrated for a smooth finish.

Is a face lift right for me?

Have you ever looked at your face in the mirror, pushed back the extra skin with your fingers and thought, “There! If only my face looked like this again!”

Although there are many minimally invasive things that can be done to turn back the clock, oftentimes nothing works as well as surgery to give your face back that more youthful, vibrant appearance that you had in the past. 

Some people are afraid of surgery itself. Others may have seen some results that they did not like. What is important to remember is that with today’s advanced treatments, face lift surgery is safer and gives better results than we’ve been able to achieve in the past. 

There are multiple benefits to face lift surgery. A face lift can:

• Correct sagging facial skin and muscles
• Remove excess skin and fat
• Restore firmness to create a more youthful, vibrant appearance

Is plastic surgery covered by insurance?

If the surgery is performed for cosmetic reasons, it is not covered by insurance. If surgery is done because it is medically necessary (for example, to correct deformities or functional impairment), it may be fully or partially covered by insurance.

Our office does not accept insurance billing or payments. If you are interested in billing through your insurance, please ask your insurance plan for participating providers.

Breast implant size is actually measured in cubic centimeters (cc), not by bra cup size. The larger the implant, the higher the number of cc.

Projection refers to the side profile or the distance that the implant projects from your body.

The amount of volume (cc) and the degree of projection you and your surgeon select will depend on your body type and the shape and fullness you want.

Did you know there's a safe limit to how much fat can be removed during liposuction?

We typically like to limit the amount of fat removed to about five liters. This guideline exists to protect your safety and set you up for the smoothest, fastest recovery possible.

Your results AND your wellbeing matter to us. 💛

Every surgeon has their favorite procedures, and for me, it comes down to two, each for very different reasons.

Labiaplasty is deeply personal. It's a transformation that belongs entirely to the patient. They don't have to show it to anyone else. Nobody's comparing, but there's a real change that makes them feel and look better. It's just their own kind of transformation.

Tummy tucks hold a special place in my heart because I see how hard my patients have worked. They've had children, lost weight, put in the hours at the gym, and yet loose skin and muscle separation remain no matter what they do. Surgery gives them the finish line they've earned.

Being part of that transformation, and being able to tell a patient "you've done everything you can, you deserve this," never gets old. ✨

If your breasts have lost volume after childbirth, you’re not alone! Breast implants can give you a fuller look. If your breasts are sagging, your surgeon may recommend a lift in addition to augmentation.
