Procedures I'm known for

There are many wonderful aspects to being pregnant and giving birth, including giving the gift of life and having a new baby. Unfortunately, with pregnancy and the birthing process, your body can go through a lot of changes that you may not be very happy with. Even if you stay active and exercise during those nine months, it is not uncommon to have stubborn fat that is resistant to activity, as well as stretched skin and other body parts which are affected by the hormones and added weight in your body. There is something commonly referred to as a Mommy Makeover procedure, which allows you to choose a variety of operations which will assist you in bringing you to the body you are most comfortable in. During our initial consultation, our team at Blackhawk Plastic Surgery will likely complete a thorough examination and then sit down to discuss your goals and how we can help. We know that every single person is different and that your needs and expectations must be looked at individually.

A woman’s breasts are an important factor in her self image and confidence. Breasts that are too small or too large can cause women to be self-conscious, have difficulty fitting into clothing or even physical discomfort. Furthermore, breast reconstruction goes a long way towards rebuilding the confidence of women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer. Whether you’re looking for a little breast lift or total breast reconstruction, finding the right procedure for you can help you be the best version of yourself.

I’ve known I wanted to work in medicine since I was in grammar school. I decided to specialize in plastic surgery because is it requires very sophisticated techniques and principles and there is a lot of problem solving. I love helping my patients feel and look their best!
