Services

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation enhances volume and shape through implants or fat transfer, creating natural-looking curves that complement individual body proportions. Our surgeons customize implant selection based on size, shape, and texture preferences while considering anatomical factors. This procedure addresses congenital asymmetry, post-pregnancy changes, or personal aesthetic goals. Patients benefit from improved self-confidence and clothing fit through carefully planned augmentation that maintains breast tissue health and sensitivity.

Tummy Tuck

Tummy tucks address loose skin, weakened muscles, and localized fat deposits following weight loss or pregnancy. Our drainless technique minimizes post-operative discomfort while achieving abdominal contouring through precise tissue repositioning. The procedure combines muscle tightening with skin excision for a flatter, firmer midsection. Patients experience enhanced core stability and improved physical comfort alongside aesthetic improvements that resist future weight fluctuations.

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty reduces enlarged or asymmetrical labia minora to alleviate physical discomfort during activities while improving intimate hygiene. Our approach preserves natural tissue architecture while addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns. The procedure can be combined with vaginoplasty for comprehensive vaginal rejuvenation that enhances sexual satisfaction and urinary continence. Patients report increased confidence in clothing and improved quality of life post-surgery.

Facelift

Facelifts restore youthful facial contours by addressing sagging skin and deepening folds along the jawline and neck. Our techniques preserve natural facial expressions while lifting underlying tissues for long-lasting results. Combined with eyelid surgery, this procedure creates comprehensive facial rejuvenation that reverses aging signs. Patients achieve a refreshed appearance that reflects their vitality without appearing over-tightened or artificial.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms. Our advanced techniques minimize downtime while achieving precise body sculpting through targeted fat removal. The procedure improves body proportions and clothing fit by addressing localized bulges that affect self-image. Results are maintained through stable weight management and healthy lifestyle habits.

Recently I had to go in to get a Capsular contracture. In Layman terms it means my skin easily stretches. So my perfect breast augmentation done by the amazing Dr Furnas about 3 years ago started to hang lower then my pocket. They use a mesh if needed to give my skin a little more back bone and extra sutures! They are perfect! I would say it's like having the breasts I had as a teen. But I never had any so I wouldn't know. LOL All I know is I'm beyond grateful. Im beyond happy with the results.

And my confidence has a little more boost. My post op was quicker then the first time as well. I was up and moving the same day! I came in and Dr Furnas and her team gave me better results tan I could have ever imagined. Thank you Dr Furnas and psa, I love you.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Furnas and her whole office staff. From pre-op appointments, to the day of surgery and post op appointments they were always so professional, organized, clean, & always welcomed me with a warm and friendly smile. I love how each and every one of the staff addresses me by my first name! I would highly recommend Dr. Furnas, I am thrilled with my breast augmentation results!

Best decision I've made for myself in awhile. I had an abdominoplasty w/muscle repair. I love the way my clothes fit! Better yet, my low back pain is gone. Dr. Furnas is kind and professional. My amazing results reflect her skill and high standards for quality care. I interacted with about 10-12 staff members between consultation, scheduling, pre-op, surgery, and post-op visits. ALL have been courteous, professional and welcoming. Thank you all! I feel amazing! MV

I have known Dr. Furnas for many years and just had my second surgery with her. The first was an upper eyelid surgery when I was 51 and now, at age 68, I had a facelift, CO2 laser and fat injections. I was out and about one week post surgery and back at the gym after 2 weeks. The results are amazing (and subtle) and my friends are impressed.those that know that is. For such a lot of surgery, it was a non event. At week 3, other than a bit of residual redness from the laser, I am fully back in my life. Thank you Heather, you continue to amaze.

Dr. Furnas and her entire staff were kind, informative, and very professional. I had several procedures done at one time: upper blepharoplasty, lower facelift, and laser resurfacing on my face and chest. It has been a little over three weeks since my surgery and I look great! Not overly done which was my fear. Dr. Furnas does beautiful, natural work and I would highly recommend Plastic Surgery Associates.
