His approach starts with your anatomy: your frame, your skin and the tissue you have to work with. From there he plans for shape and proportion, aiming for a result that reads as natural rather than done.

Anonymous patient ★★★★★
“…he (without ANY trace of pressure, and with all of the care to emphasize that the decision was mine) told me about Lipo 360 and BBL. He clearly outlined the benefits, potential risks, and realistic outcomes I could achieve if I did proceed with a BBL.”
Anonymous patient ★★★★★
“The OR/PACU team made what could have been a nerve-wracking experience feel completely manageable. As someone going through their first minor surgical procedure, I genuinely appreciated how they helped ease my anxiety.”
