Procedures I'm known for

The focus of my practice is breast explant surgery (breast implant removal). I no longer implant, so I can completely dedicate my time and effort on my explant patients. Often, my patients elect to have a breast lift when explanting. I created a technique called the J Wrap. This technique has two main benefits. First, existing breast tissue is utilized to create breast fullness naturally. Secondly, the incision is a "J" shape instead of a traditional "anchor". There is no scarring in the cleavage area for patients to try to conceal in their swimwear, undergarments, or clothing. I take a tremendous amount of pride in the work I do and the patients I see.
