Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants tailored to each patient's body. This procedure addresses volume loss, asymmetry, or desire for larger breasts. Patients typically recover within 7 days with proper post-operative care.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess abdominal skin and tightens underlying muscles. Ideal for post-pregnancy or post-weight loss patients, this procedure creates a flatter, more toned midsection with 14-day average recovery.
Eyelid Lift
Eyelid lift surgery corrects sagging skin and puffiness around the eyes. With no downtime required, this procedure rejuvenates facial appearance by creating a more alert, youthful look in just 7 days recovery.
Liposuction for Men
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits in men, creating a leaner physique. This 7-day recovery procedure effectively contours areas like the abdomen, chest, and love handles for improved body confidence.
Microneedling
Microneedling improves skin texture and reduces blemishes through collagen stimulation. This non-surgical treatment requires 3 days recovery and works effectively for all skin types seeking rejuvenation.

One of the Best Drs I've been to, takes his time to see exactly what and where you need the injections. Would Highly recommend! I've left his Office Happy for Years!

I had gotten Botox at several places and this is by far the most natural look with no issues with uneven eye brows like at the other places I went to. I also went from having a horrible double chin where I wouldn't even put my hair up in a ponytail too confident to do so after I had kybella. It made a dramatic difference and I'm always being told my face looks thinner. Love it!

Excellent doctor! Did a fabulous job with my daughter's very uneven breast due to scoliosis and a concave chest. Amazing life changing results.

What a great doctor! My first experience with fillers and I took a chance with Dr. Gunnar to do my lips. He is incredible at what he does. My experience was super comfortable and pain free! I will return 100% and will be recommending him to anyone I can! Thank you and your wonderful staff too for making me feel awesome.

Dr. Thors was highly recommended on a support page that I'm on. I went to him, had surgery, and I'm so pleased. My confidence is through the roof because of him. He cares about his patients, their concerns, and takes time to answer all questions. My surgery was scheduled and I didn't need to see him again until day of surgery, but I had questions/concerns and saw him three more times in between the consult and my surgery date.
He follows his patients very closely, which I love. I will recommend him to others just as he was recommended to me, and I will go back to him for any future things. I love his "serious" sense of humor.
