Procedures I'm known for

Body Lift procedure image

Body Lift

Dr. Rian A. Maercks offers Body Lift procedures to remove excess skin and reshape the lower body, enhancing contour and tone after major weight loss for a firmer, more youthful appearance.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) procedure image

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Dr. Thaller’s eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) refines both function and aesthetics. It tightens weakened eyelid muscles, removes excess skin and fat, and repositions tissues to address drooping lids, under-eye bags, or vision obstruction. Customized for upper, lower, or combined eyelid concerns, it streamlines appearance with minimal scarring and natural, youthful rejuvenation.

Mommy Makeover procedure image

Mommy Makeover

Dr. Seth R. Thaller’s Mommy Makeover approach combines surgical artistry with individualized care. It typically includes a tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction to address physical changes after childbirth. With expertise in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, he focuses on restoring natural contours and helping women feel confident in their bodies again.
