Fat transfer breast augmentation that offers modest breast enlargement using micro-grafted fat harvested via liposuction from donor areas such as the abdomen or thighs.

Body Contouring
Tummy tuck/abdominoplasty offerings that tighten abdominal muscles, remove excess skin and fat, and address post-pregnancy or post–weight-loss abdominal changes.
Mini tummy tuck, extended-mini tummy tuck, and male tummy tuck variations that tailor incision length, muscle repair, and skin removal to patient anatomy and goals.
Liposuction services that remove localized fat deposits and may be combined with abdominoplasty or used as stand-alone contouring for areas with good skin elasticity.
Buttock and thigh surgery options that address lower body contour (listed under body services and location service summary).
Fat transfer body contouring that uses harvested fat to enhance body or correct contour irregularities in reconstructive situations.
Facial Rejuvenation & Facial Surgery
Facial rejuvenation plans that may include full facelift, lower facelift, fat grafting, liposuction, laser treatments, or combinations tailored to aging patterns and goals.
Facelift (rhytidectomy) procedures that re-suspend underlying facial tissues, tighten muscles, reposition skin, and address both face and neck aging.
Lower facelift offerings that target cheeks, jowls, and lower-face wrinkles using shorter incisions and focused tissue repositioning.
Neck liposuction treatments that contour submental fat and sharpen the neck angle are sometimes used alone in younger patients with good skin tone.
Facial fat injections that restore volume in cheeks, under-eyes, lips, and other areas using fat harvested from other body regions.
Laser “facelift” skin resurfacing that treats surface lines, age spots, and texture using laser technology to tighten collagen and regenerate smoother skin.
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) services are referenced as a dedicated offering that can be combined with broader facial rejuvenation when appropriate.
