Board-Certified Plastic Surgery
What would you change?
I spent twelve years wearing long sleeves. After my brachioplasty, I bought a sundress the week I was cleared to drive.

Name what you see. We treat it.
Each condition is named the way patients actually describe it — not in clinical euphemisms. Tap any card to see the procedure, technique options, recovery timeline, and an honest disclosure of risks.
Sagging Upper Arms
The skin that waves when you wave back.
Post-Pregnancy Abdomen
The pouch that no amount of planks will fix — diastasis recti and loose skin.
Asymmetric Breasts
When one side has always fit differently in every bra you've owned.
Post-Weight-Loss Skin
Your body transformed. The skin didn't catch up.
Mommy Makeover
Pregnancy changed everything at once. One surgical journey can address it.
Rhinoplasty
The thing you notice in every photo, every reflection, every candid.
Not sure which procedure applies to you? Consultation is the first step.
The Process
Every stage. Nothing hidden.
From the first conversation to the six-month follow-up — this is what actually happens. Including the parts that look alarming before they look beautiful.
Step 1 of 6
Consultation
The conversation where nothing is off-limits.
Your first visit lasts 60–90 minutes. We discuss your goals in plain language, review your medical history, and examine the areas you want addressed. You'll leave with a clear recommendation — or an honest explanation of why we wouldn't recommend surgery.
Some patients come in wanting one procedure and leave with a different recommendation. We'll tell you why, in detail.

Patient Voices
"She told me exactly what my result would look like — and then it looked exactly like that. I've never felt so prepared going into surgery."
Diane M.
Abdominoplasty + Liposuction
"The day-three photo she showed me in the consultation — I thought she was exaggerating. She wasn't. And because I'd seen it, I wasn't scared."
James T.
Gynecomastia Correction
"Post-bariatric body contouring is complex and she explained every complication risk in plain English. I chose her because she didn't hide anything."
