Procedures I'm known for

I am a world renown breast surgeon and known primarily for my 24 hour recovery breast augmentation. I get better results and leave my patients with less discomfort and little downtime. One day recovery after breast augmentation surgery is the culmination of pre-operative planning, delicate and precise surgical technique, refinements in aesthetic management, and post-operative care. My patients are able to raise their arms before leaving the my state of the art surgical facility and leave with no special bandages or garments. Almost every patient requires nothing stronger for discomfort than Advil, many of our patients feel good enough to go shopping or out to dinner later that same day.

I use a variety of different techniques for body sculpting. Tummy Tuck, traditional liposuction, 4D Hi-Def Vaser, Bodytite, & fat grafting. The most popular combination is 4D Hi-Def Vaser with Bodytite. Traditional liposuction is all about improving body contour by removing excess deposits of fat, VASER Hi Def is a technique that uses the VASER ultrasound fat removal technology to sculpt the body. Excess fat may be removed from one area of excess, and grafted (transferred) into another area where there is a deficiency of volume. Yet other areas, not noticeably excessive in fat are further sculpted to enhance the natural contours and form.

I have been a pioneer of vaginal rejuvenation for the last 10 years. Unlike most other surgeons I use a technique called the central wedge. This creates the most natural results with no visible scarring and a quick recovery time. Women who are looking to improve the appearance of their labia, improve their hygiene, or to relieve pain can benefit from this procedure.
