Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances size and shape using silicone or saline implants. Ideal for women seeking volume restoration post-pregnancy, symmetry improvements, or proportionate enhancement. Dr. Placik prioritizes natural-looking results, focusing on individual anatomy and lifestyle. Recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks before returning to work and 6 weeks for full activity. Costs range from $7,500 to $12,500, depending on implant type and complexity.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty reshapes the labia minora or majora to address asymmetry, discomfort, or cosmetic concerns. This procedure improves physical comfort during activities and boosts confidence in intimate relationships. Dr. Placik uses trim or wedge techniques tailored to individual anatomy, with recovery taking 4-6 weeks. Costs vary based on complexity and complementary procedures like clitoral hood reduction.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, ideal for post-pregnancy or weight-loss patients. Dr. Placik offers full, mini, or extended options, with recovery requiring 6 weeks of restricted activity. Results are long-lasting with stable weight maintenance. Costs depend on surgical scope and combined procedures like liposuction.
Facelift
Facelifts address jowling and neck laxity, restoring a youthful contour. Dr. Placik combines SMAS tightening with skin redraping for natural outcomes. Recovery includes 2-3 weeks of swelling reduction, with results lasting 10+ years. Costs reflect surgical complexity and adjunctive treatments like BOTOX.
Breast Lift
Breast lifts reposition sagging tissue for a perky appearance, often combined with implants. Dr. Placik uses minimal incisions to reduce scarring, with recovery spanning 3-4 weeks. Costs vary by technique and whether augmentation is included.
