Services
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits through minimally invasive techniques. Ideal for patients near their ideal weight seeking improved body proportions. Our approach prioritizes smooth results and natural contours while maintaining patient safety through advanced surgical protocols.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery flattens and tightens the abdominal area by removing excess skin and fat while repairing separated muscles. This transformative procedure addresses post-pregnancy changes and significant weight loss effects with customized surgical planning for optimal outcomes.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores natural appearance after mastectomy using advanced techniques including fat grafting and implant-based reconstruction. Our compassionate approach focuses on helping patients regain confidence through personalized surgical strategies and multi-stage planning.
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting relocates harvested body fat to enhance breast or buttock volume. This natural alternative to implants involves liposuction from donor areas followed by purified fat injection, creating harmonious body proportions with dual benefit of contouring.
Body Contouring
Comprehensive body contouring addresses multiple areas through combined procedures. Designed for post-bariatric patients or those seeking dramatic transformation, this approach strategically targets trouble zones to create balanced, aesthetically pleasing silhouettes.

Report
Saw Dr Shulman for a breast augmentation. We decided on saline implants and she made sure to explain all the pros and cons of the procedure. I did not feel pushed into anything and she was very caring and understanding of my concerns. Through the entire process she always had my best interest in mind. I dont think i could have picked a better doctor. Dr Shulman and her staff are always friendly and welcoming. I would 100% recommend Dr Shulman to anyone looking for a similar procedure.

I decided after 17 years that I no longer desired by breast implants and wished for them to be removed. They were at least 500 cc each (34C/D) and at 57 years old they just didn't fit my lifestyle any longer. I consulted with Dr. Shulman two years ago and decided that July 2021 was the time for their removal and I can say that I am over the moon happy with the result of the procedure. I am now about a perky 34A and I am very happy with that. Dr. Shulman did not try to sell me another implant and assured me that I'd have youthful perky breasts with a lift just using the tissue I have

Dr. Shulman and her entire staff are some of my favorite people. There are not many doctors and staff that actually make you feel like part of their family, but they do. Dr. Shulman was like a calming force during my reconstruction process. She is so precise and an amazing artist in the process of reconstruction. The entire staff was always there to answer any questions, especially after surgery. It is always an appointment I look forward to and I always leave with a smile on my face! To be honest, Im going to be sad when my journey with them is complete.
