Services
Facelift
Facelift surgery rejuvenates the lower face and neck by tightening skin and muscles for a refreshed appearance. Ideal candidates have loose skin, jowls, or neck banding. Dr. Kunkel customizes techniques, including short-scar or full facelifts, to achieve natural results. Recovery involves 2-3 weeks off work with swelling resolving over 3-6 weeks.
Breast Augmentation
This procedure enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Candidates seek proportionality, symmetry, or post-pregnancy restoration. Dr. Kunkel uses 3D imaging to visualize outcomes and offers combined procedures like lifts or liposuction. Recovery typically allows return to work within a week.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tucks remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles for a flatter contour. Ideal for post-pregnancy or weight-loss patients, the procedure may include liposuction or fat grafting. Recovery requires 2-3 weeks off work with activity restrictions for six weeks.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery addresses puffiness and sagging by removing or repositioning fat and excess skin. Candidates often appear tired due to genetic or age-related changes. Dr. Kunkel preserves fat strategically for natural results. Most patients return to work within 10 days.
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX reduces wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. It treats forehead lines, frown lines, and crows feet with results visible in 3-14 days. Ideal for patients seeking non-surgical rejuvenation, effects last 3-4 months with repeat treatments.
