Ideal candidates for dermal fillers are individuals seeking to reduce wrinkles, add volume, or reshape facial features without undergoing surgery.

Dermal fillers can be used to enhance volume, symmetry, and definition in lips (vermilion border, Cupid’s bow, oral commissures), reverse volume loss and improve contours in cheeks, sculpt the chin and jawline (lifting sagging jowls, correcting volume loss), rejuvenate temples and the brow area (opening eyes, reducing wrinkles), and smooth out nasolabial folds (smile lines around the nose and mouth).

Chin liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, is a minimally invasive procedure that permanently removes excess fat from under the chin and jawline using a thin cannula, targeting the double chin area and reducing jowls. Renuvion is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation and firming treatment that delivers cold plasma energy subdermally via a specialized cannula, causing collagen contraction and skin tightening. It's FDA-cleared for treating wrinkles, skin laxity on the neck and under the chin, and tightening loose skin on the body after liposuction. When combined with liposuction, Renuvion improves results by tightening the skin envelope, preventing sagging after fat removal, and enhancing muscle definition. Ideal candidates are individuals with excess fat under the chin or sagging skin in the submental area, seeking subtle skin tightening and contour improvement. Those with Fitzpatrick skin types I–III are suitable for facial renewal using Renuvion.

Expect 7–10 days of downtime after the combined procedure. Mild swelling, bruising, and redness may occur initially. Recovery for chin liposuction alone is approximately 2 weeks, while Renuvion alone has only a few days of recovery. Patients should wear a compression garment to aid healing. Swelling and bruising typically resolve within 1–3 weeks, though skin pinkness may persist for 6–10 weeks.

This procedure, indicated for patients aged 35-45, combines a Mini Tummy Tuck with Renuvion for abdominal skin tightening and a Belly Button Lift. The entire procedure takes approximately 3 hours. Patients can typically return to light activity on the same day, return to work within the same week, and resume high activity within 4-6 weeks.

An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure performed for patients after weight loss or pregnancy, addressing loss of abdominal contour from excess skin, excess fat, and muscle separation. The procedure starts with a hip-to-hip incision hidden below the panty line. Excess skin is raised, muscle separation is identified and repaired internally with sutures, and then the skin is pulled tight and closed in multiple layers with absorbable sutures. This removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles to create a smoother, toned appearance.

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that targets stubborn pockets of fat by using suction to remove localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. It can address areas such as love handles, back rolls, and belly fat.

The primary benefit of combining a tummy tuck and liposuction is efficiency, as it results in one surgery and one recovery period. Lipoabdominoplasty simultaneously addresses exercise-resistant fat, eliminates loose skin, and repairs muscle tissue. Treating both excess fat and loose skin together can yield more effective body contouring results.

This combined procedure, typically indicated for individuals aged 35-45, includes a Mini Abdominoplasty, Liposuction 360, and Fat Grafting to the Breast. The entire procedure takes approximately 5.5 hours. Patients can expect to return to light activity within a week, return to work within four weeks, and resume high activity 6-8 weeks post-procedure.

Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, reshapes and improves the contour of the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. It addresses sagging skin due to aging, significant weight loss (especially for massive weight loss patients who have lost over 100 pounds), or genetics. Extended brachioplasty is a variation for patients with laxity in both the upper arm and chest wall, where areas of laxity are excised, and the scar is designed to flow into a pre-existing breast lift scar hidden underneath the breast. Good candidates are individuals in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have significant upper arm skin laxity that hasn't responded to diet and exercise.

The practice offers a combined SkinPen® Microneedling with Daxxify® treatment for a 'next-level glow.' SkinPen creates tiny micro-injuries to stimulate quicker skin regeneration, revealing younger-looking skin. Daxxify® is known for its longevity. Together, this dynamic duo stimulates collagen, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and delivers radiant, youthful skin that lasts.

Diamond Glow treatments are offered for $100. PCA chemical peels are also offered for $100 and are safe for all skincare types.

Neurotoxin (or UNIT) injections are offered for $12 per unit.

A tummy tuck addresses excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles, commonly performed after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Liposuction is a separate body contouring procedure that targets stubborn pockets of fat that don't respond to diet and exercise. While liposuction removes fat, it does not address loose skin or muscle separation, which are key components of a tummy tuck. Combining both, known as Lipoabdominoplasty, offers efficiency and more comprehensive body contouring results by simultaneously addressing fat, loose skin, and muscle repair.

Yes, the practice performs fat grafting to areas like the hips (often with a tummy tuck) and breasts (with Liposuction 360), indicating that fat can be transferred to multiple areas as part of body contouring procedures.
