Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery enhances breast size and shape through implants. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions after weight loss, pregnancy, or natural development concerns. Our practice offers personalized consultations to determine optimal implant type, size, and incision approach while maintaining natural aesthetics and patient safety.
Facelift Surgery
Facelift surgery addresses sagging skin and jowls by tightening facial muscles and redraping skin. Combining traditional techniques with modern approaches, we create rejuvenated appearances that maintain natural facial expressions. Patients typically see results lasting 7-10 years with proper post-operative care.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing treats wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation using precise CO2 laser technology. This minimally invasive procedure promotes collagen production while addressing specific skin concerns around the face and neck. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
Liposculpture
Liposculpture removes localized fat deposits through minimally invasive suction techniques. Ideal for contouring areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms, this procedure requires healthy skin elasticity for best results. Patients maintain outcomes through stable weight management post-treatment.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve proportions and address structural concerns. With extensive experience in both cosmetic and functional nasal surgery, we create balanced results that enhance facial harmony while maintaining proper breathing mechanics.

Dr. Stevens, Kendal, and the rest of the staff met all of my expectations and beyond! I am now 2 months post op and am so glad I chose Dr. Stevens as my surgeon. He is truly an expert at what he does while delivering realistic and beautiful results. I went in asking for cleavage while almost begging him to not give me overly large implants. After trusting his sizing and recommendations, I now have the perfect breasts with the exact amount of cleavage and perkiness I hoped for.
My top two priorities going into surgery were my safety (yes I was afraid of not waking up from anesthesia) and of course, results! With Dr. Stevens you are in good hands and are guaranteed beautiful results!

Just had my one month post op appointment for my breast augmentation. Overall, love the doctor and the staff. Doctor is honest and straight to the point. Everyone is friendly and professional. I'm only one month out but satisfied with my results so far. If you're looking for an affordable, fast paced doctor, who does great work Dr. Stevens is the one. I drive 45 minutes out every appointment and most definitely worth it. Highly recommend!
