Choose Well.

Let’s see just how far we can go

Ever since I was young, I’ve had a drive and motivation to figure out just how far I could push myself. I was ambitious in my youth, pushing my limits to learn about new topics and continuing that endeavour well into adulthood. This quality, this desire to continue to become better every day, has helped me become a plastic surgeon who provides powerful results for my clients.

Today, I still want to do everything in my power to achieve a better result. The only difference is that now I am on that journey together with my patients. How well can I help you achieve those results you’ve been dying to achieve? How drastically can we change your confidence and self-esteem? What techniques can I apply to let you leave my office as excited as possible? How do I give you the best experience?

Years of Experience

building trust through expertise and outstanding patient care

Areas of Expertise

Breast

Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift, and Breast Reduction

Proportion is a hallmark of beauty. For the most aesthetic breast surgery result, I think about more than simply changing your size or shape. I consider your entire frame, chest wall anatomy and tissue characteristics, drawing frequently from my fellowship in microsurgery and advanced breast reconstructive techniques. This approach ensures elegant results that look and feel natural.

Body

Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, and Brazilian Butt Lift

Body contouring requires both precision and an artistic eye—two skills I've spent decades refining. From surgeries that restore confidence after pregnancy or weight loss, to procedures that sculpt and enhance your favourite features, my goal is to give you the shape and confidence you want while maintaining a beautiful, balanced appearance.

Face

Facelift, Brow Lift, and Eyelid Surgery

Facial plastic surgery demands particular finesse, as even subtle changes can dramatically enhance your appearance. Through my aesthetic fellowship training and years of specialized experience, I've developed techniques that refresh and rejuvenate while maintaining your distinctive features. I focus on creating results that look naturally youthful rather than surgically altered.

Non Surgical

CoolSculpting, Botox, and Facial Fillers

I offer advanced injectable techniques and body contouring technologies as alternatives or complementary treatments to surgery. This comprehensive approach allows me to recommend the most appropriate solution for your needs. Navigating through the trends and hype can be difficult, but I vet each service thoroughly and offer only what I truly believe in.
