Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for patients seeking improved proportions, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Our approach prioritizes natural results, with options tailored to body type and goals. Recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks of limited activity, with full results visible after swelling subsides. Dr. Pertschs expertise ensures balanced, aesthetically pleasing outcomes.
Facelift
A facelift restores a youthful appearance by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Targeting sagging jowls, deep creases, and neck laxity, this surgery offers long-lasting results. Patients often combine it with eyelid or brow lift procedures. Recovery spans 2-3 weeks, with swelling and bruising managed through post-op care. Our team emphasizes subtle, natural rejuvenation aligned with facial harmony.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits to refine body contours. Commonly performed on the abdomen, thighs, and arms, it complements a healthy lifestyle. Techniques include traditional suction and laser-assisted methods for skin tightening. Recovery involves wearing compression garments for 4-6 weeks and avoiding strenuous activity. Results are visible within weeks, with optimal definition after 3-6 months.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty improves nasal symmetry, size, or function. Structural adjustments address breathing issues or aesthetic concerns like humps and tip shape. Techniques preserve natural airflow while enhancing facial balance. Swelling may persist for months, but initial results appear after 1-2 weeks. Dr. Pertschs precision ensures outcomes that harmonize with individual features.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty flattens the abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening muscles. Often sought post-pregnancy or weight loss, it addresses diastasis recti and stubborn fat. Recovery requires 2-4 weeks of restricted movement and compression wear. Combining with liposuction enhances contouring. Results provide a firmer, more toned midsection with long-term satisfaction when maintained through diet and exercise.
