Breast Procedures
The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for an improvement in their appearance, are physically healthy, and have realistic expectations. Whether you want larger breasts or want to restore breast shape after pregnancy, Dr. Maggi will work with you to determine if augmentation is right for you.
Implants can be placed in one of two locations: under the pectoral muscle (submuscular) or directly behind the breast tissue over the pectoral muscle (subglandular). The positioning depends on the type of implant, degree of augmentation desired, your body type, and Dr. Maggi's recommendations.
Dr. Maggi offers both saline and silicone implants in a variety of shapes and sizes. During your consultation, he will help you understand the benefits of each option and determine which implant type, size, and profile will best achieve your desired results.
Based on your body and breast shape, incisions are made in one of three locations: under the breast (inframammary), around the lower edge of the areola (periareolar), or in the underarm region (transaxillary). Dr. Maggi will recommend the best incision placement for your individual situation.
Body Procedures
Liposuction removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, while a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles. Many patients benefit from a combination of both procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Maggi will recommend the approach that best addresses your concerns.
A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to help women restore their pre-pregnancy body. It typically includes breast enhancement (augmentation or lift), a tummy tuck, and liposuction, but is tailored to each patient's specific needs and goals.
Gynecomastia surgery treats enlarged male breast tissue, a condition that can cause significant self-consciousness. The procedure removes excess fat and glandular tissue to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour. Dr. Maggi uses techniques tailored to each patient's specific condition for optimal results.
Face Procedures
Dr. Maggi offers a full range of facial rejuvenation procedures including facelifts, neck lifts, brow lifts, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and rhinoplasty (nose surgery). Each procedure is tailored to address your specific concerns and achieve natural-looking results.
Surgical options like facelifts provide more dramatic and longer-lasting results by addressing sagging skin and deep tissue. Non-surgical options such as Botox, dermal fillers, and chemical peels address fine lines, volume loss, and skin texture with minimal downtime. Many patients benefit from a combination of both approaches.
Facelift results are long-lasting and can typically maintain a refreshed, youthful appearance for 7 to 10 years or more. While the natural aging process continues, patients generally look years younger than they would have without the procedure. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine helps preserve results.
Non-Surgical Options
Botox results typically last 3 to 4 months. Regular treatments can help maintain your results, and some patients find that with consistent use over time, results may last longer between sessions. Dr. Maggi and our staff will recommend a treatment schedule tailored to your needs.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They can plump lips, fill hollow areas under the eyes, enhance cheeks, and smooth lines around the nose and mouth. Results are immediate and can last from 6 months to over a year depending on the product used.
ArqueDerma is an advanced, non-surgical facial contouring technique that uses specialized injection methods to achieve more natural-looking results. This approach focuses on restoring youthful volume and creating balanced facial proportions without surgery. Ask our staff for more details during your consultation.
We offer a range of chemical peel treatments at varying depths to address concerns like fine lines, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and acne scarring. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your skin and recommend the appropriate peel strength and treatment plan for your specific goals.
Practical Information
Recovery time varies by procedure. Most patients return to light activities within a few days to a week, and resume normal routines within 2 to 4 weeks. Dr. Maggi provides detailed post-operative instructions specific to your procedure and will monitor your recovery closely to ensure the best outcome.
Yes. We understand cost is an important consideration and offer flexible financing and payment plan options to fit your budget. We partner with reputable financing companies to provide competitive rates and terms. Visit our Financing page for more details or discuss options during your consultation.
Every cosmetic procedure is uniquely tailored to each patient's goals, anatomy, and desired outcomes. Because of this customization, pricing is determined during your consultation after Dr. Maggi evaluates your specific needs and discusses the recommended treatment plan. We are committed to transparent pricing and will provide you with a comprehensive cost estimate.
Dr. Maggi uses advanced surgical techniques and places incisions in discreet locations whenever possible to minimize visible scarring. While all surgical procedures leave some degree of scarring, most scars fade significantly over time and can often be concealed by clothing or natural body contours. Proper post-operative care also helps optimize scar healing.
