Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through implant placement. This procedure addresses concerns about asymmetry, volume loss, or desire for enhanced proportions. Dr. Bartlett offers customized solutions using saline or silicone implants with various profiles and placements.
Facelift
Facelift surgery restores youthful contours by addressing sagging skin and deep creases. Combining this with eyelid surgery produces comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Our approach prioritizes natural results while maintaining facial expressiveness through advanced techniques.
Gender Affirming Surgery
Gender-affirming procedures align physical appearance with gender identity. Our practice offers chest masculinization and other gender-confirming surgeries using techniques that prioritize both aesthetic outcomes and functional considerations for transgender patients.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to improve body contours. This procedure complements weight loss efforts by targeting stubborn areas resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Bartlett combines liposuction with other body procedures for optimal aesthetic balance.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty addresses both aesthetic concerns and functional breathing issues. Our approach creates harmonious facial balance while maintaining or improving nasal function. The procedure can be performed as a primary surgery or revision for improved results.
