Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through implants or fat transfer. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Our board-certified surgeons customize implant size and placement for natural results. Patients benefit from personalized consultations and advanced techniques that prioritize safety and aesthetic harmony.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty improves facial balance by reshaping the nose. Our surgeons address structural concerns while maintaining functional integrity. This procedure caters to patients seeking symmetry, improved breathing, or correction of congenital defects. We combine technical precision with artistic vision to achieve subtle, natural-looking enhancements that complement facial features.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits through minimally invasive techniques. Suitable for body contouring in areas like the abdomen and thighs, it offers precise sculpting. Our approach emphasizes tumescent anesthesia for comfort and uses advanced cannulas to ensure smooth results with minimal downtime, promoting long-term body confidence.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tucks remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles for a flatter profile. This procedure addresses post-weight loss or post-pregnancy changes. Our surgeons employ comprehensive techniques that restore core strength while creating natural contours, with personalized recovery plans to optimize outcomes and patient comfort.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to eliminate fat cells without surgery. Ideal for mild contouring needs, it requires no downtime. Our certified technicians tailor treatment plans to target areas like the abdomen or thighs, delivering gradual, natural results through FDA-cleared technology that aligns with patient safety standards.

Dr. Shah performed brachioplasty, mastopexy, abdominoplasty, and lipo of flanks two weeks ago. I cannot stop singing praises for his professional and personal touches. He is talented, smart and down to earth. The office staff is also fantastic. Communication is good from consultation to surgical planning and through the recovery. Their NP Erica is an absolute angel! Very happy with my results so far and cannot wait for the full recovery to see the ultimate results.

Report
Im sure Dr. Centino is a good surgeon, but not good for me. I had 3 surgerys at one time. One had to be redone and it was very painful to have done. Was done with a local and cut fairly deep. My breast are horrible. Not the same sizes and they are sagging already. Its only been about 3 years. They would redo the breast surgery, but charge me with a slight discount. I was to be a c cup, but was a DD. No reduction at all. That being said. Id rather have my saggy breast back.

I just had my surgery today. Doctor Shah, his staff and anesthesiologist were all so wonderful. I was a little nervous going into it because of some heart issues but I was reassured and was told what would happen if anything went wrong. If youre looking to be happier in your skin & youre choosing plastics.. this is the place to go. I couldnt be more please. By far the easiest & best surgery experience to date! Ill update once Im healed

A few days out of surgery and my experience couldn't have been better. The entire staff there is fantastic and the day of surgery they answer all of your questions and make you feel comfortable. Dr. Centeno is very professional and makes sure you're both on the same page with what you're trying to accomplish. Highly recommend them!
