Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. This procedure addresses volume loss, asymmetry, or desire for proportionate curves. Dr. Zemmel's expertise ensures natural contours while maintaining breast tissue health. Ideal candidates seek improved self-confidence through enhanced proportions.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty removes excess abdominal skin and tightens muscles for a flatter profile. This body contouring solution addresses post-pregnancy changes or weight loss effects. Combines liposuction for optimal sculpting. Patients achieve improved core definition and clothing fit with lasting results.
Facelift
Facelift surgery reduces visible aging signs by tightening facial tissues and smoothing wrinkles. Addresses jowls, neck laxity, and midface sagging while preserving natural expressions. Complements non-surgical treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation in mature patients.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits in areas like abdomen, thighs, and arms. Uses minimally invasive techniques for body contouring that diet and exercise cannot address. Provides defined silhouettes when combined with skin-tightening procedures for optimal results.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Dermlounge offers BOTOX, laser therapies, and skin treatments for non-invasive rejuvenation. Addresses wrinkles, skin texture, and volume loss with minimal downtime. Combines injectables and advanced technology for refreshed appearances without surgery.

I had a breast augmentation done 4 days ago by Dr. Zemmel and all I can say is WOW. From his bedside manner, to his PA and nurses, to front desk staff, I've never felt so welcomed at an office before. I have a very bubbly personality and wanted this for so long and no one made me feel like I was being annoying or being too excited about my breast augmentation. They answered every question and concern thoroughly and made me feel confident in the decision I was making. Dr. Zemmel picked the perfect size for my body and assured me that my results would be stunning and boy was he right!
My breasts have never looked better, the healing process has been phenomenal with minimal pain/uncomfortableness. I've recommended everyone to come and see Dr. Zemmel and his staff. They've completely changed my confidence level

Dr. Zemmel took the time to explain to me exactly what to expect with my face lift. It turned out even better than I could have imagined. I am so happy and would recommend anyone to him. Very little down time and I look 10 years younger and have so much more self confidence. 5 stars for me!

At 35 I didn't expect to need a double mastectomy, but I did. I "shopped around" and had consults with multiple plastic surgeons for reconstruction. I decided on Dr. Z and his team and I wouldn't change a thing. The staff are welcoming, comforting, understanding, and just plain amazing. Dr. Z was there for me every step of the way for all 856 questions and never brushed me off. If I ever need any other procedures, I'll be going back no question.

I had my top surgery done by Dr. Reddy and she was great! She is very reassuring and calming. Which made it easy to trust her with such a big decision. She's very patient, answered any questions, and reassured me and any worries I had.

About a month ago now, Dr. Reddy performed my breast reduction surgery. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had Dr. Reddy as my doctor for this life changing decision. While I had been dreaming of doing this for myself for years, I was definitely nervous to finally be doing it. Dr. Reddy was a constant source of information and confidence. She and her team were so easy to talk to that I was able to voice any concerns without fear and have a laugh while doing so.
I always knew that they had my best interest at heart. Now that I'm a month out from my surgery, I'm healing amazingly and I'm beyond happy with my results. I finally feel like myself and it's all thanks to Dr. Reddy and her team.

I am a physician so I know the importance of finding the right doctor and boy did I hit the jackpot with Dr. Karishma Reddy. She is nothing short of amazing. Some of the BEST work I have seen - trust me! I had a breast reduction and her work is impeccable, her bedside manner is wonderful and all of my visits before and after the surgery were very informative and reassuring. I went from being ashamed of my large breasts and having back and neck pain to now having so much more confidence and less pain! Dr. Reddy, Dr. Zemmel and the entire team have been so amazing and I would recommend them hands down over and over again! Thank you!
