Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for patients seeking improved proportions or post-pregnancy restoration. Our approach prioritizes natural results, with options tailored to individual anatomy and goals, ensuring safety and satisfaction.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits to sculpt the body. Targeting areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms, this procedure refines contours unresponsive to diet and exercise. We use advanced techniques for minimal downtime and smooth, lasting results.
Facelift
Facelifts address sagging skin and wrinkles to restore a youthful appearance. Customized to individual needs, this surgery tightens facial tissues and smooths contours. Patients enjoy long-lasting results that enhance confidence and natural beauty.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery corrects drooping lids and under-eye bags for a refreshed look. This procedure improves both aesthetics and vision by removing excess skin and fat. Recovery is typically quick, with noticeable rejuvenation within weeks.
Botox Treatments
Botox injections temporarily smooth dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow's feet. Non-invasive and fast-acting, this treatment softens facial creases for a smoother, more youthful appearance with no downtime required.

After years of severe back pain I started researching on Doctors who specialized in breast reduction. My decision was Dr. Howard Gross, we discussed the procedure in detail and recovery time. He reduced me from a "G" cup to "C". Within a month my back problems were tolerable by the 3rd month my back felt better than ever. I'm retired and I feel so good physically, looking forward to doing things I never thought were possible. "Don't hesitate to make that decision that will change your quality of life." P.S My breast look "GREAT" at my ageand every member of his staff are absolutely the Best. Thank you.

I'm so Happy with Dr. Gross! He made me comfortable, and did a great job helping me choose the appropriate size for my breast augmentation. 6 months out, and they are perfect! I'm so happy with the experience and my end result. Jennifer was helpful, and knowledgeable as well! I had questions the night after my surgery, and Dr. Gross was available to talk to after hours. Wish I would have done it sooner!

Dr. Gross is amazing at what he does! I had a rhinoplasty done 6 weeks ago and I am beyond happy with my results. His front desk receptionist is lovely and very professional. Jennifer is super knowledgeable and can answer any questions you may have. From the moment I checked in for surgery to the moment I checked out, I felt very comfortable and knew that I was in good hands. Thank you to Dr. Gross and his wonderful team for all that you do for your patients!

Double and triple check your appointment times. This staff moved my appointment TWICE and didn't bother to let me know the second time so I drove an hour and a half to get there on time only to be told my appointment had been moved again and I was not notified. She stressed that she did confirmation calls, she never bothered to tell me the apt was moved then of course tried to blame me. I got past the cattle call atmosphere and calling me the wrong name a few times but when I said my time is valuable she replied "you look great you should be happy" I walked out, sat in my car and cried for a few min then drove the hour and a half home and never even got my final check up. Find a doctor that cares about you, your time and your name.

I got my mini tummy tuck and liposuction in 2018 I believe it was. It's been not quite 3 years and I am so so so happy. With my continued healthy diet and consistent working out, at 60 years old, I am in the best shape ever! I will be forever thankful for Dr. Gross and his team of wonderful people( Even the anesthesiologist Steve the cheeky swine LOL) who made my experience so positive and good. I highly highly recommend this man. He is extremely good, ethical and really cares for his patients.

I had a perfect experience with Dr. Gross and his team for both my breast augmentation and injectable lip fillers. His coordinator Jennifer is helpful and accommodating. His receptionist is friendly and polite. And Dr. Gross is great all around. He takes the time to discuss the procedures and alternative options with you. He listens closely to the customer's desired goals, and finds a balance with what he professionally knows will be the most flattering individualized outcome.
He also made sure I had everything I needed to stay comfortable in the post-operative recovery period, but it was a really easy recovery and I didn't end up needing anything more than plain Tylenol. I have virtually no scarring and didn't lose any sensation with my surgery either.
