Services

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through silicone or saline implants. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions after pregnancy, weight loss, or natural development. Our board-certified surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results with minimal scarring. Patients benefit from personalized consultations to determine implant size, placement, and incision options while maintaining safety standards in our accredited facility.

Mommy Makeover

Mommy Makeover combines multiple procedures to restore pre-pregnancy body contours. Typically includes tummy tuck, breast lift/augmentation, and liposuction. Addresses common concerns like stretched skin, weakened muscles, and volume loss. Performed under one surgical session with comprehensive recovery planning. Our approach prioritizes natural results while ensuring patient safety through pre-operative assessments and personalized post-operative care protocols.

Facelift

Facelift surgery addresses visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Targets sagging skin, deep creases, and muscle laxity through precise tissue repositioning. Our technique preserves natural facial expressions while creating youthful contours. Combines deep plane lifting with fat grafting when needed. Patients receive personalized treatment plans considering skin quality, bone structure, and aesthetic goals during comprehensive consultations.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits to improve body proportions. Utilizes advanced techniques like tumescent and laser-assisted methods for precise sculpting. Common treatment areas include abdomen, thighs, arms, and back. Performed as standalone procedure or with other surgeries. Our approach focuses on creating natural contours while maintaining skin elasticity and minimizing recovery time through proper post-operative compression therapy.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery rejuvenates tired-looking eyes by removing excess skin and fat. Addresses upper eyelid hooding and lower lid bags through precise incisions. Our technique preserves natural eye aesthetics while creating refreshed appearance. Combines functional improvements with cosmetic enhancement. Patients receive thorough pre-operative assessments to determine optimal incision placement and tissue removal amounts for balanced results.

Questions

What factors determine the best age for plastic surgery?

The ideal timing depends on personal goals and health status rather than age alone. Many pursue procedures like rhinoplasty or breast augmentation in their 20s, while others choose facelifts later. Our consultations assess individual readiness and medical suitability.

How do I know if I'm a good candidate?

Good candidates maintain stable weight, have realistic expectations, and are in good health. Smoking cessation and managing conditions like diabetes improve outcomes. During consultation, we evaluate medical history and aesthetic goals to determine procedure suitability.

What makes Enhanced Form surgeons unique?

Our board-certified surgeons combine academic expertise with technical innovation. Dr. Makhlouf's patented techniques, teaching background, and 35+ years of experience ensure advanced care. We prioritize natural results through personalized treatment plans and comprehensive follow-up.

Can multiple procedures be combined?

Yes, we safely combine procedures like Mommy Makeovers when medically appropriate. This approach allows single recovery periods but requires careful planning. Our team evaluates health status and procedure complexity to ensure safety during initial consultations.

What financing options are available?

We offer financing through CareCredit and other medical lenders. Flexible payment plans help make procedures accessible. During consultation, our coordinators explain all financial options and help determine best solutions for individual budgets.

How long do recovery periods typically last?

Recovery varies by procedure. Non-surgical treatments allow immediate return, while surgeries like tummy tucks require 2-4 weeks. We provide personalized recovery plans with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-term results.

I had a very pleasant experience getting botox here. The staff is very knowledgeable and nice. There was minimal discomfort during the whole process. I got my 11 lines done and a lip flip. I have gotten my 11 lines done before and this experience was much more comfortable than my last. This was my first time doing a lip flip and again, it was a very comfortable experience. the whole process took about 10-15 minutes and the results began to show very shortly after. I'm very satisfied with my results, I can't recommend this place enough :

Yesterday I got my first lip fillers! I am so in love with them. The service was amazing, smooth, and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. The process took about 30-40 minutes and it was painless! I have zero bruising on my lips because of how gently they were injected. The doctor walked me through the process and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend this place. They're trustworthy and the results are 100% worth it. Es primira ves que me pongo rellenos en los labios y me encanto. No me dolio, y me quedaron super naturales. Maria es excelente y Allyson me explico tambien todo muy bien! Los super recomiendo!
