The complete range of cosmetic services we perform include Facelift, Browlift, Nasal Surgery, Eyelid Surgery, Breast Augmentation, Chemical Peel, Laser Surgery, Dermabrasion, Liposuction, Body Contouring and Abdominoplasty. The goal in cosmetic surgery is to always achieve the best personal appearance for you. Everyone is an unique individual with special concerns and desires. We listen carefully to your desires and treatment is tailored to your specific needs. After a complete evaluation, your doctor thoroughly discusses the proposed treatment and answers all your questions. Our team works to educate you about what you can expect before and after the operation. To assure your comfort and privacy, we provide all evaluations in our private office setting. Surgery can be performed confidentially at any one of several out-patient facilities depending on your wishes.

BASAL CELL SKIN CANCER (Most common), SQUAMOUS CELL SKIN CANCER (Less common), MALIGNANT MELANOMA (Increasingly common): Any skin lesion that does not heal in 4 to 6 weeks is suspicious for skin cancer, especially in people with previous or recent sun exposure.

The microsurgical team performs emergency finger, limb, scalp and ear reattachment operations related to work injury, in addition to delayed reconstruction. We can arrange transfer of hospitalized patients to our service from other hospitals where these sophisticated services are not available.
