Post-Pregnancy Procedures
••
Pregnancy and especially multiple pregnancies can cause changes to the body, especially the breasts and abdominal area. When changes do occur the result can be smaller droopier breasts, sometimes larger breasts and abdominal laxity. Fortunately, there are very good procedures that can correct these pregnancy changes. Tummy tuck, breast enlargement or reduction and breast lift are commonly performed together and are often grouped under the term 'Mommy Makeover'. These procedures are performed in our office in one of our certified operating rooms. I believe that your post-op recovery should be made as comfortable as possible. I find that injecting the areas with a long acting anesthetic at the end of the procedure and the use of pain pumps that we provide for your home use help considerably.

Breast Surgery
••
Every year, hundreds of thousands of women undergo a breast augmentation procedure. It’s a popular surgery for a reason, as it can enhance the size, symmetry, and overall look of the breasts, giving a patient confidence and the satisfaction of having the body they have always desired.
Breast augmentation is also a popular procedure among my patients in the D.C. and Maryland area. During a consultation, I will work with you to plan a customized breast augmentation procedure. We will discuss whether you’d prefer a silicone gel or saline implant, and figure out what kind of shape, profile, and incision placement would be best to ensure that all of your aesthetic goals are met while making sure it complements the look of your physique. It is also important to me that all of my patients are well-informed, given utmost attention, and fully taken care of throughout the entire length of their treatment, from the initial consultation and long after the procedure.

Face and Neck Lifts
••
The face is the first thing people see when they look at you. Unfortunately, over time, the skin and the connective tissue in our face and neck can lose its elasticity, altering our features. There can be a noticeable droop and sagging that cannot be corrected even with the most expensive face creams. The good thing is, a face and neck lift can correct this, bringing back that youthful and refreshed appearance we all covet.
Patients in the D.C. and Maryland area who are interested in a face and neck lift can be sure to expect the absolute best care at my practice. First, we will meet to discuss your exact aesthetic goals; then, we will figure which areas to target for improvement and what that will entail. This might include treating the forehead and upper area of the face, the eyelids, the midface, or the cheeks and neck. The procedure, which can consist of removing excess fat, tightening the muscles, and skin redraping, will make you look years younger, but in a natural-looking way.
