About Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic Surgery, performed by specialists in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, is a branch of plastic surgery focused on enhancing a person's appearance through elective surgical and medical techniques. It addresses aesthetic goals related to symmetry, proportion, and overall harmony of facial and bodily features. Common procedures include facelifts, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation or reduction, liposuction, and tummy tucks. These surgeries are tailored to individual patient desires and anatomical considerations, aiming to boost self-confidence and improve quality of life. Modern techniques prioritize safety, natural-looking results, and minimal scarring. Consulting with a board-certified surgeon ensures a comprehensive evaluation and a personalized treatment plan aligned with realistic expectations.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three doctors with...

I'd been to three doctors with this weird fatigue and pain, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mohanty was the first one who actually stopped and listened. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no fancy jargon. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again.
