Breast Surgery + Nipple Correction Surgery for Beautiful Breasts

Nipple Correction Surgery Can Be Added to Any Breast Surgery! Patients planning breast surgery often have a second thing on their mind that they never mention, because they assume the nipples would mean a separate operation on a separate day. Nipple correction surgery can be added to essentially any breast procedure, and combining the two […]

Thigh Lift vs Liposuction: Which Do You Need?

Thigh Lift or Lipo or Both? Know the Difference Every woman’s body is different. Two patients can walk into our Birmingham, MI plastic surgery office unhappy with their legs and need completely different procedures.

Thigh Lift Recovery: What to Expect After Surgery

The Fastest Path To Thigh Lift Recovery The patients who recover most smoothly from thigh lift surgery are typically those who understand what to expect and are prepared to follow the steps that will help them heal quickly.

Medial Thigh Lift Scars: Placement, Healing & Results

Understanding Medial Thigh Lift Scars Before Surgery Almost every patient considering inner or “medial” thigh surgery typically ask about scars before anything else.
