Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Ideal for patients with underdeveloped, asymmetrical, or post-pregnancy breasts, this procedure improves body confidence. Our office performs 400-450 augmentations annually with submuscular placement for natural results and reduced complications.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tucks remove excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles. This procedure addresses post-pregnancy diastasis recti or weight-loss laxity, restoring a flat, toned abdomen through discreet incisions that align with bathing suit lines.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets diet-resistant fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and back. Using advanced techniques with minimal trauma, we sculpt smoother, more defined body contours for patients seeking refined silhouettes.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction alleviates physical discomfort from overly large breasts by removing excess tissue and skin. This procedure relieves neck/back pain, improves posture, and enhances quality of life with balanced, proportionate results.
Mommy Makeover
Mommy makeovers combine breast augmentation/lift with tummy tucks to address post-childbirth changes. This comprehensive approach restores pre-pregnancy body contours, addressing both breast volume loss and abdominal laxity in a single procedure.

Dr Riou and the whole staff are amazing! From consultation to surgery, I felt so comfortable and trusted them. After surgery, Dr. Riou called to check up to see how I was. Its been over a year now and I am so happy with my results, I just had my last appointment today and cant thank him enough!! If I were you, I would consider him for any procedure you are thinking about!

I got a breast augmentation on Thursday by Dr Riou and not even 2 days later I am BEYOND SATISFIED!! I was told by another surgeon I would need a lift and a huge implant for more money than I could ever afford. I had amazing breasts until I had my child and didnt want a lift only volume to give me back what I had before having my son.. Dr Riou was honest and comforting with the decision to just do an augmentation. I trusted for him to do what he thought was best and he went above and beyond. I am a hairstylist and a mother of an active 3 1/2 year old. I was very concerned that I wouldnt be

I rate Dr Riou as one of my all time top Docs. Hes super smart and understands the female body and how to operate on cancer patients to help them feel %100 better about their appearance when they leave their houses. He helped me get over the fact that I had no breasts due to cancer and he reconstructed my breasts so I am as feminine as I was before I lost them to cancer. I would recommend him to anyone thinking about looking more beautiful than they could ever imagine.
