Procedures I'm known for
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Dr. Joseph Mele is a highly skilled plastic surgeon with extensive experience in tummy tuck procedures, helping patients achieve a firmer, flatter abdomen. Known for his meticulous technique and patient-centered care, Dr. Mele customizes each surgery to address excess skin, weakened muscles, and stubborn fat for natural-looking, transformative results.
Mommy Makeover
The term Mommy Makeover was coined for any combination of cosmetic plastic surgery procedures that shape the belly and the breasts, because these are the most common areas that change with pregnancy. The best results are obtained by careful discussion of your goals during the consultation. Breast rejuvenation is most often via breast augmentation; however, breast lifts and reduction may also be used. Abdominal rejuvenation can be via a tummy tuck, liposuction or a mini tummy tuck, depending on your specific needs.
Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure used to increase the size and improve the shape of a woman's breasts. How a woman feels about her breasts is very personal, so individualized care is given in choosing the size, style and shape of her breast implants. Choosing the best size is often the hardest part of breast augmentation. Something as simple as ziplock bags filled with rice can be very helpful in narrowing down the range that makes you comfortable.
