Services

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline, silicone, or structured implants. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions after weight loss or post-pregnancy changes. Our board-certified surgeon ensures natural-looking results through personalized implant selection and precise surgical techniques.

Mommy Makeover

Mommy makeovers combine breast procedures, tummy tucks, and liposuction to address post-pregnancy body changes. Customized surgical plans restore pre-pregnancy contours by addressing multiple areas in one procedure, minimizing recovery time while maximizing aesthetic improvements.

SculpSure Body Contouring

SculpSure uses laser technology to permanently destroy stubborn fat cells in areas like the abdomen and love handles. This non-invasive treatment requires no downtime, with visible results appearing over 12 weeks as the body naturally eliminates treated fat cells.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat deposits to rejuvenate tired-looking eyes. Both functional and cosmetic improvements are achieved through precise incisions that minimize visible scarring while creating a more youthful, alert appearance.

Fat Grafting

Fat grafting transfers harvested body fat to areas needing volume restoration. This dual-benefit procedure contours donor sites while enhancing facial features or augmenting areas like the breasts or buttocks using the patient's own natural tissue.

I went to botox and it only lasted 1 month with this new nurse, it had been a while i hadn't visited Doc Avila Office and i wasn't aware nurse Dennise wasnt working their anymore. Its pretty strange that with the other nurse botox would last at least 4 Months and with This New Nurse only 1 Month. And she told me if you need more come back in 2 weeks. They need to have more professionalism here. and have patients Get What They Pay For!

Does anyone knows the average cost of a rhinoplasty? I am interested in do the tip but I don't think they want to provide this information if I don't schedule an appointment.

First, I was impressed with the professional and friendly staff. They put me at ease right away. Dr Avila was friendly, professional, and answered all of my questions without being condescending. I was extremely pleased with the quality of his work. He had been highly recommended by my dermatologist who said that "he did the prettiest work in the Valley". Even though my procedure was for a basal cell carcinoma, I can tell that there will be minimal scarring, in effect, "pretty work". I plan to see Dr. Avila for cosmetic purposes and am going to recommend him to friends and family.
