Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal candidates include women seeking fuller breasts due to underdevelopment, post-pregnancy changes, or post-weight loss. Our surgeons customize implant type (Motiva, Natrelle, Mentor), size, and placement for natural, proportionate results. Recovery typically involves 4-6 weeks of limited activity.
Facelift
A facelift addresses sagging skin and deep creases in the mid and lower face. It benefits individuals with age-related volume loss or skin laxity. Techniques include traditional incisions for comprehensive lifting or mini-facelifts for subtle improvements. Results create a youthful, refreshed appearance lasting 7-10 years.
Liposuction
Liposuction eliminates stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and neck. It suits patients near their ideal weight with localized fat pockets. Techniques include traditional suction and laser-assisted methods for skin tightening. Recovery involves compression garments and limited activity for 2-4 weeks.
Botox Injections
Botox reduces dynamic wrinkles caused by facial muscle movement. It targets forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. The treatment uses neuromodulators to temporarily relax muscles, smoothing wrinkles for 3-4 months. Results appear within days with no downtime required.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing improves skin texture, tone, and scars by removing damaged outer layers. It addresses sun damage, fine lines, and acne scars. Fractional laser technology stimulates collagen production for firmer skin. Recovery ranges from 3-7 days depending on treatment depth.

Stephanie Shultis is wonderful!. I had went to a previous dermatology center and I wasn't getting the results that I wanted. I was immediately at ease with her after I had explained what my goal and concerns were. She was very informative and guided me throughout the whole process. I honestly had complete trust in whatever she decided to do for my services without a question. my skin is looking great and I'm feeling much more confident and happier. I am very grateful and would highly recommend

I could not have asked for a better experience. From the very first visit to waking up from the procedure the entire staff kept me calm, confident and excited. Dr. Colon is a magician and his team in the OR are fantastic. Both Dr Colon and the anesthesiologist were some of the top doctors I've encountered. I cannot thank the staff up front and all around enough for making me feel at home the entire time. If you are thinking about treating yourself, this is the only place to do so Thank you guys!

I can't say enough GREAT things about Dr. Colon and The Peer Group for Plastic Surgery. My post surgery results are better than I ever imagined! I suffered from and repaired several hernias over the years, (as a baby and post being pregnant three times, all three C sections). I was very apprehensive about having surgery again. This time I needed a hernia repair and I wanted a mommy makeover too! I had met with many plastic surgeons and general surgeons before selecting Dr. Colon for the plastic surgery.
My case was a bit more complicated with the hernia repair as I was also experiencing other pain that we were not sure of the cause. Dr. Colon helped me find a general surgeon who was up for the task of helping me in collaboration with Dr. Colon. The partnership in figuring out the best steps for my surgery and the care and surgical expertise Dr. Colon and his group provided was exceptional.

Dr. Colon and staff were a pleasure to meet. He took his time to examine my face since this was the first time ever getting injections on my face. Dr. Colon suggested where he would inject Botox and explained his reasons for doing so. He allowed me to ask questions and I felt that I was understood. I was looking for just some slight changes in my appearance, specifically on my forehead and eyes. He was gentle and gave me a ton of information about what to expect within the 7-14 day window.
I had a follow up appointment 2 weeks later with Dr. Colon to see the changes. I am very pleased with his honesty and the time he took with me. Lina, Dr. Colon's medical assistant, was also informative and personable. I enjoyed speaking with her about my skincare goals and needs. I highly recommend The Peer Group and Dr. Colon for anyone looking for a honest opinion about enhancing their appearance.
