Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This procedure tightens underlying tissues, removes excess skin, and reduces deep folds around the nose and mouth. Ideal candidates experience jowling or loose neck skin that persists despite nonsurgical treatments. The surgery typically takes 3-4 hours under general anesthesia, with most patients resuming normal activities within 2-3 weeks. Results can last 7-10 years depending on individual aging patterns and skincare maintenance.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through saline or silicone implants. The procedure addresses asymmetry, volume loss post-pregnancy, or desire for proportionate curves. Incisions are made in inconspicuous locations with implants placed either under or over the chest muscle. Recovery involves limited arm movement for one week, with final results visible after 3-6 months as swelling subsides. Implants typically require replacement every 10-15 years depending on individual circumstances.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include abdomen, thighs, and back. The procedure uses tumescent technique with small incisions and cannula suction. Patients should maintain stable weight post-procedure for lasting results. Recovery involves wearing compression garments for 4-6 weeks and avoiding strenuous activity for 2-3 weeks. Results become apparent after initial swelling resolves in 4-6 weeks.
Botox
Botox injections temporarily relax facial muscles causing dynamic wrinkles. Common treatment areas include forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. Results appear within 3-7 days and last 3-4 months. The non-surgical procedure takes 15-30 minutes with no downtime required. Regular maintenance sessions help prevent new wrinkle formation while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target hair follicles. Multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart yield optimal results, with most patients achieving 70-90% hair reduction. The procedure works best on dark hair and light skin tones. Post-treatment care includes sun protection and avoiding waxing between sessions. Results typically last several years with occasional touch-ups as needed.

Dr. Hein is so wonderful, words alone cannot express My gratitude towards her. Dr. Hein is so Kind, caring, informative, and patient, and a wonderful Surgeon. I recently had a Breast reduction that Dr Hein preformed, and I'm so Happy with the outcome. To be honest I didn't even need pain medication after the surgery. Im currently in my 4th week post op, and feel great. Im So Happy Now. I highly recommend Dr. Hein. Dr. Hein isn't just a wonderful caring Dr. She's also a wonderful caring woman.

I could not rave about Dr Hein any MORE than I have been to every woman AND man I know! I had an elective - second time around breast re-augmentation procedure done with her in December (different Dr for 1st procedure 10 years ago). I was looking for a different look and size. She is absolutely incredible with her talent and ability to understand exactly what I was looking for. I could not be happier with my results.
My recovery time was an absolute breeze (although this can vary - I'm 36- no health problems). Her surgical nurse and anesthesiologist were extremely professional and comforting- reflecting off of Dr. Hein in the most expected way. I will forever recommend Dr Hein for any and all elective procedures as her grace and elegance as a surgeon precedes right along with her amazing talent. Thank you Dr Hein for helping me feel even better about myself!

We saw Dr. Hein for a consult, and I couldn't feel more unhappy, annoyed and ripped off with the visit. This consult was for an elective surgery for my wife. When my wife's name was called, I was told to wait in the lobby for "the first part of the consult". 25 minutes later I get called in to the room. (my wife had to sign a permission slip to allow me in the room ) She then expresses the concerns she had for the procedure, which we were well aware of and planned on getting the cardiologist to okay the procedure.
This is the 3rd doctor we consulted with, I have never been told to wait in the lobby. This is a procedure that concerns not just my wife, but me too. My wife told me later that Dr. Hein never had her try on the bra with sample implants. They never talked about different sizes. Although I am less concerned with price, as most doctors will have similar prices, price was never brought up. So at the end of the appointment when we were still charged a $90 consult fee, I was a little angry. There was no actual consult. We paid them for nothing. The simple fact that I was not part of the conversation means they will not be getting any more of my money.

The staff is very friendly, personable and professional! I've had a few IPL (photo facials) and the results were amazing. Before treatments, my face showed some redness & uneven tones and now my face is clear, softer and looks so much better! I'm very happy with all the treatments I've had at Dr Hein's office. I highly recommend her and her remarkable staff.

I am very pleased with the service provided at Dr Hein's office. I've been a patient there for the past 10 years and don't plan on seeing anyone else for my cosmetic needs. I never have to wait for my appointments, the staff is very friendly & helpful, the nurse takes her time to answer questions and do procedures. The results are exactly as I hope. I trust Dr. Hein and her staff very much. Highly recommend!
