Non-Surgical
Featured Procedures
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles to create a flatter, more toned midsection. Many patients choose a tummy tuck after pregnancy or significant weight loss to restore confidence and comfort in their body shape.
Featured Procedures
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer to achieve fuller, more proportionate curves. It is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries, often chosen to restore volume after pregnancy, weight loss, or to enhance naturally small breasts.
Featured Procedures
Facelift
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is designed to reduce visible signs of aging by tightening underlying facial tissues and removing sagging skin. This procedure helps patients achieve a smoother, more youthful, and refreshed appearance while maintaining natural facial harmony.
Featured Procedures
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures, often including breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction, designed to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy and childbirth. Each plan is tailored to address unique concerns and help mothers feel confident in their appearance again.
Featured Procedures
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, reshapes the nose to improve facial balance, correct breathing issues, or refine its size and shape. This highly individualized procedure can address cosmetic concerns as well as functional nasal problems.
Featured Procedures
Breast Lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening tissue for a firmer, more youthful contour. It is often chosen after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging to restore breast symmetry and confidence.
Featured Procedures
Injectables
Injectables, including Botox® and dermal fillers, are non-surgical treatments that smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and enhance facial features with minimal downtime. These quick in-office treatments provide natural-looking results and are a popular option for patients seeking subtle facial rejuvenation.

You’re In Good Company
“I can’t say enough about Dr. Hendrick and his team. I had a full abdominoplasty with liposuction- I had a lot of anxiety about having surgery because of complications I dealt with following a C-section several years before. They immediately put me at ease and made me feel, not only heard and validated, but comfortable and confident that they would take great care of me. Any questions I had, whether pre-op or post-op, were addressed really quickly by Dr. Hendrick personally and his staff. I am beyond happy with my results, and I highly recommend this practice! ”
“Dr. Velargo is a first-class plastic surgeon and top-notch professional. He’s patient, kind, and whip-smart, funny too! I am 5 months post-op for an upper and lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Velargo, and I am thrilled with my results. From consultation to surgery and pre-/post-op care, this was a first-class experience! Every team member is highly skilled in patient care and communication, so I always felt supported, at ease, and informed. Amazing experience! Highly recommend! A+++”
“My experience here was truly wonderful. Dr. Gary took her time and really talked to me about what my expectations were and how we could achieve them. She’s very kind and makes you feel like you can talk to her about all your concerns, no matter how minor. And the results were incredible and natural, which was a huge priority for me. The rest of the staff were fantastic as well, and they really make you feel welcome. The facility is beautiful and relaxing with a spa feel. I will definitely be back to see Dr.Gary and the rest of the lovely folks here!”
“I have always experienced the highest level of care from all of the doctors here. Their staff is amazingly accommodating, friendly, and professional. I have had so many natural-looking enhancements over the years that I am thrilled with them. I work in the aesthetic industry and I highly recommend Dr. Velargo, Dr. Hendrick, and Dr. Gary for any facial and or body procedures, both surgical and non-surgical. Six months ago, I had a brow lift and upper eyelid lift from Dr. Velargo and couldn’t be happier with the subtle, beautiful results for an area that was problematic for me my whole life.”
“I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with the results of the procedures from Drs Velargo and Hendrick!! They are very caring and professional in the care of their patients, and the office staff rocks!! They listened to the concerns that brought me to their office for correction, then suggested options with sincerity. I felt very comfortable with both of them and will most definitely be a patient of theirs for life!!”
“I had an abdominoplasty with Dr. Hendrick at the end of November! After having 4 kids, my stomach was stretched beyond what could be restored with diet and exercise alone. I was hesitant to have elective surgery at first, but I am thrilled that I decided to go through with it! My stomach looks amazing, and I finally feel like myself again! The recovery was better than I expected! When I had some questions following my surgery, Dr. Hendrick took the time to call me and talk with me. I had a great experience with every staff member and at each office visit!”
“Dr. Velargo is simply amazing!!! He gave me a life-changing transformation that I never thought was possible. After the surgery, he communicated with us every day. Answered all our questions and eased my anxiety. From his office staff, especially Christine, to the surgical staff, everyone was so helpful and kind. I am only 2 months post op and love the results ready. Can’t believe the final results will be even better. Thank you, Dr. Velargo, for giving me my confidence back!!!”
