Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Ideal for women seeking fuller, more symmetrical breasts, this procedure addresses congenital defects, post-pregnancy changes, or volume loss. Dr. Piro tailors implant selection to each patients anatomy and goals, ensuring natural, balanced results with minimal scarring.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess abdominal skin and tightens weakened muscles, creating a flatter, firmer midsection. It addresses sagging from weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, often combined with liposuction for optimal contouring. Recovery involves 2-3 weeks of limited activity to ensure proper healing.
Facelift
Facelifts restore a youthful appearance by tightening facial skin and muscles to reduce wrinkles and sagging. This procedure targets jowls, neck laxity, and deep creases, often paired with eyelid surgery for comprehensive rejuvenation. Results are long-lasting with proper skincare and sun protection.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores natural contours after mastectomy using implants or autologous tissue flaps. Dr. Piro employs advanced techniques like DIEP flap surgery to rebuild the breast mound, often including nipple reconstruction for full aesthetic restoration.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, hips, and thighs to enhance body proportions. Using traditional or SmartLipo technology, this procedure sculpts targeted regions for a smoother silhouette, with minimal downtime and lasting results when combined with a stable weight.
