Job Description

With our *SoftSqulpt™* method, we have removed the hurdles and downsides of traditional procedures that require general anesthesia and a long and painful recovery. We focus purely on awake liposuction, awake fat transfer for breast augmentation, awake fat transfer for Brazilian Butt LIft (BBL), and awake mini-tummy tucks (InvisiTuck™). *SoftSqulpt™* allows our patients to do their procedures comfortably, easily, with limited downtime, a rapid recovery, and truly transformative results.
