Breast Enhancement Procedures
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances the shape, symmetry, fullness, and volume of the breasts. (1) Dr. Grunberg may perform this procedure using either breast implants or a fat transfer, and it offers results ranging from subtle to dramatic.
Breast Lift
A breast lift repositions the breasts on the chest wall to address sagging breast tissue and create a perkier, more youthful appearance without significantly altering breast volume. This procedure removes sagging skin from the breasts and may include nipple rejuvenation as well.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction is a procedure that eliminates excess skin, tissue, and fat from enlarged or heavy breasts to reduce their volume and weight. Enlarged breasts can lead to chronic shoulder, neck, or back pain, as well as posture concerns. (2) This procedure can restore both your appearance and your daily comfort.
Body Contouring Procedures
Arm Lift
An arm lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tissue from around the upper arms. Many patients seek this procedure after significant weight loss or pregnancy, and it can restore a more slender and smoother appearance to the arms.
BodyTite™
BodyTite is an FDA-approved treatment that combines liposuction and radiofrequency energy to sculpt your figure. This treatment not only removes stubborn, diet-resistant fat but also contracts the skin for a tighter look and feel.
Butt Lift
A butt lift can enhance the volume and shape of your buttocks. Dr. Grunberg can administer Sculptra, a poly-L-lactic acid dermal filler, to provide you with lasting fullness within your buttocks, or she will harvest fat with liposuction and use it to enhance your buttocks, which is the Brazilian Butt Lift method.
Female Rejuvenation
Female rejuvenation is a surgical procedure that addresses physical or aesthetic concerns regarding the labia minora or majora (inner and outer vaginal lips). This procedure removes excess tissue from the vaginal lips. Other female rejuvenation techniques can enhance sensitivity, strengthen the pelvic floor, and tighten internal tissues.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat from the body. Liposuction can address concerns almost anywhere on the body, including the arms, legs, buttocks, breasts, abdomen, face, and more.
VASER Hi-Def Liposuction
VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) Hi-Def Liposuction is a variation of the traditional liposuction procedure that uses ultrasound energy to emulsify fat. This variation can offer enhanced precision and definition.
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift removes loose or sagging skin and tissue from around your thighs, improving proportions and reducing the occurrence of bothersome chafing.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess skin from the midsection and tightens loose or weakened abdominal muscles. This procedure is highly effective for addressing pregnancy-related changes and can help you achieve a slim, cinched waist.
Facial Procedures
Eyelid Lift
An eyelid lift removes loose skin or tissue around the upper or lower eyelids. This procedure can restore a brighter and more alert appearance to your eyes and address tissue that may be obstructing your field of vision.
Facelift
A facelift is a procedure that reduces visible signs of facial aging in the mid and lower face. Dr. Grunberg can remove excess skin, lift and tighten facial muscles, and reposition fat to help you achieve a more youthful overall appearance.
Neck Lift
A neck lift can address sagging skin, neck bands, and jowls. This procedure involves tightening the neck muscles and removing loose or sagging skin to enhance the aesthetic appearance of your neck and create a smoother transition between your head and body. (3)
Injectable Treatments
Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that relax the muscles responsible for dynamic movements that can wear on your skin. They help the skin relax and smooth itself out, reducing the appearance and development of existing and new wrinkles. At Alluring Aesthetics, our neuromodulator treatments include Dysport® and Botox®.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that refresh and revitalize your appearance by adding volume. (4) Dermal fillers have different formulations to address varying concerns across several features, such as deep nasolabial folds, thin or deflated lips, sunken under-eyes, and more.
