I specialize in all types of enhancement, including breast augmentation, breast reduction, and breast lifts. When it comes to breast implant surgery, I consider each patient’s natural anatomy and physical condition in order to achieve the most natural-looking results. Aside from using sizers to determine the ideal breast size, I also use a 3D imaging system at my Chicago practice that shows the patient exactly how they will look after surgery. Helping my patients to visualize what they can expect from their breast enhancement surgery is very important. It not only provides them with an extremely realistic visual of how their breasts will look, but it affords them ownership of their surgery, allowing them to feel confident and secure about their decisions.

Facelifts and neck lifts define the look of a patient. As time goes on, our faces loose fullness, skin sags, contours become depleted. We begin to look like our parents and occasionally, our grandparents. Sometimes, the problem is not due to age but to illness, or chance. The correction process begins with a careful examination of individual facial details. I point out each feature to the patient to show them what I see and access how, or whether, each part needs attention. Beginning at the top of the face and moving down to the neck, I demonstrate how the parts of the face affect the adjoining areas. Not all patients want or need all of their facial features improved. The decision of what to do and how to accomplish the desired result belongs to the patient. I function as their guide to turn our assessment into an operative plan. Sometimes, the patient goals can be achieved by artfully applying facial fillers and other tools to achieve their goals, often the best result is surgery.
