Inside Our Office

We offer patient exam rooms, a state-of-the-art procedure room and a med spa, which creates a calm environment for procedures.

We also have a room full of various sizes, brands and shapes of implants and expanders. This allows us to truly customize your implant-based reconstruction.

Staying at the forefront of medical research and advances is a cornerstone of our work. To make sure you receive the best possible care, we use leading-edge techniques and state-of-the-art equipment. Examples of this include:

This technique allows our surgeons to place breast implants after a mastectomy, so patients go to sleep with breast cancer and wake up with fully reconstructed breasts.

This technology tests the blood supply in breast tissue so our surgeons can work with the healthiest tissue during reconstruction.

This is a disposable system that helps keep incisions clean and protected.

This is a wound cleanser that's gentle and effective.

These next-generation implants retain their shape over time.
