- Medical Weight LossA Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) generally involves removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdominal area coupled with the tightening of the stomach muscles. This surgical procedure is usually sought by patients with loose or sagging skin after pregnancy or weight loss.
- Pregnancy
- Labor and DeliveryBreast Lift (Mastopexy) Surgery can reverse the effects of aging, and gravity especially after childbirth. This procedure is appropriate for patients whose breasts have sagged excessively from pregnancy, weight loss, or decreased skin elasticity. Good candidates for this are surgery are those whose breast tissue and nipple area are resting below the crease beneath the breast. The nipple and areola typically have moved from the middle of the breast and point downward.

- UltrasoundLiposuction (also called Liposculpture ) is the selective removal of fat from under the skin thru tiny “nick” incisions using a hollow metal tube (Cannula). Prior to removing the fat the area is infused with a solution containing local anesthetic and adrenaline ( Tumescent Technique ) to minimize discomfort and blood loss. There are a number of devices available for liposuction. These include laser-assisted ( SmartLipo, SlimLipo ), ultrasound-assisted ( Vaser ) and power-assisted ( PALS ). Claims by the manufacturers of laser and ultrasound assisted devices that the heat generated by the devices causes the skin to shrink better have no basis in the scientific literature and are merely marketing hype. Cryolipolysis ( CoolSculpting ) has limited applicability and needs multiple treatments to achieve a noticeable result. Dr. Daniels has considerable experience with a variety of devices, including ultrasonic ( Vaser ) and power-assisted ( PALS ) devices and currently favors power-assisted liposuction for its precision, safety and reliability. Dr. Daniels feels that whatever device is used is secondary to the experience and skill of the surgeon. Dr. Daniels has performed liposuction on patients ranging in age from 16 to 66 and gives each patient a detailed evaluation and treatment plan so they may best know where they will benefit most from liposuction and what results to expect. Liposuction is a wonderful tool for removing fat from areas that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen and lovehandles/muffin top and thighs.

- Botox“My friend referred me and I would have never tried any procedures like this without that referral. Dr. Daniels office is the best! I was one of those people who was totally skeptical and frankly afraid of doing anything that involves skin and lasers, especially because I have tan skin. Well, my friend sure did point me in the right direction and this is the only place I’ll ever go for botox, dysport, laser hair removal, etc. Dr. Daniels staff are totally professional, and they all look great themselves, so they must be doing something right and know what they’re doing!”
- Brow LiftA Brow Lift or Forehead Lift, reduces the wrinkle lines (furrows) that develop horizontally across the forehead, as well as those that occur on the bridge of the nose, between the eyes. It can diminish frown lines, the vertical creases that develop between the eyebrows. As we age, the eyebrow drops and flattens and lose their normal arch, creating a sagging appearance to our upper eyes.
- LiposuctionMale Breast Reduction may be achieved with Liposuction or with a combination of liposuction and surgical excision of abnormal breast tissue. This surgery is occasionally covered by insurance.
- Breast Augmentation“I had a breast augmentation performed by Dr. Daniels on July the 3rd. I could not be happier with the results! Immediately, he made me feel comfortable during the consultation. He was very willing to answer any and all of my questions. I am so very pleased with his artistry that I would recommend his talent and knowledge to anyone considering an enhancement to their own body.”
- Breast ReductionBreast Reduction surgery removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more in proportion with your body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with large breasts. Excessively large sagging breasts can be uncomfortable, and distracting to a woman’s appearance. Additionally, large breasts can cause physical discomfort as well as medical problems for many women. By removing the excess tissue, this eliminates sagging and creates better overall breast symmetry. For some patients the nipple may be repositioned and or reduced as well.
- Breast LiftThe goal of Breast Lift surgery is to restore a youthful shape to the breast. This procedure will reposition the nipple and areola over the center of the breast mound. However, it will not restore significant fullness to the top of the breast. To restore the upper breast fullness and a lift to reposition the nipple and tighten the loose breast skin Breast Implants are normally used.
- Breast ReconstructionReconstruction of the breast following mastectomy is a very rewarding procedure to both the patient and Dr. Daniels. Many women describe a feeling of once again being whole. There are many resources available regarding breast reconstruction. Additionally, there are support groups available where women can meet women who have gone through these procedures and discuss shared experiences. Take advantage of these invaluable resources.
- Plastic SurgeryPlastic surgery can help with many concerns related to your facial appearance. Most surgical procedures focus on reducing the signs of aging, while others are designed to enhance proportion of facial features.
- Thigh LiftBrachioplasty and Thighplasty (Thigh Lift) are surgeries generally reserved for the more motivated of patients, as these surgeries generally involve scars that are more challenging to hide.
- Face LiftThis procedure can help reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and improve the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Facelift surgery is the most comprehensive facial rejuvenation procedure available.
- AbdominoplastyThe incision usually runs from hip to hip and is easily hidden by most underwear and bathing suits. For patients with minimal excess skin, a shorter scar Mini-Abdominoplasty may be an option. In cases of significant weight loss, the most appropriate surgical option may be a Belt Lift (Circumferential Lift), which not only tightens the abdomen but also elevates the buttocks.
- Breast SurgeryBecause of his reputation as a breast specialist, Dr. Daniels is often consulted for Breast Revision surgery. It is Dr. Daniels’ professional opinion that revision breast surgery is often less predictable than primary surgery and, in some cases, has little or no chance of achieving any meaningful improvements. If after careful and detailed evaluation, Dr. Daniels feels that improvements can be achieved, he will perform surgery on unsatisfactory breast surgery done elsewhere.

- Cosmetic SurgeryHi my name is Da’Niesha I’m 21 years old and I am a patient of Dr.Daniels who was recommended by my cousins mother in law. I’m not even quite sure where to start however I’ll start off with a phrase I love Dr.Daniels and the beautiful gift of new boobs he has given me. From having multiple consultations with my family and I to ensure this is a cosmetic surgery I want, to taking the time out to answer all of my mothers along with my questions, he is a absolute gift from God and the most talented cosmetic surgeon out there. I have recommended everyone I know to go to him for any cosmetic surgery and I hope they have or are planning on it. I have gotten so many compliments from friends, strangers and family. My confidence has been boosted tremendously, I am comfortable in my own body now and it is such a relieving and amazing feeling. Dr. Daniels along with his team made sure I did my research and he was very straight forward and honest. He informed me of the pros and cons and wasn’t after my money at all but instead wanted to educate me. No other cosmetic surgeon/plastic surgeon I had consultations with was like Dr.Daniels. I can write a whole bibliography about him honestly because he is a unique, genuine, and honest surgeon. My first consultation which was in July 2021, was amazing. By that one visit with Dr.Daniels my family and I, instantly knew he was the doctor for me. He showed me before and after pics, and informed me I will hate my boobs during the healing process which I did but I trusted him and my boobs look fantastic since they have dropped. By October 1 I had scheduled my surgery for November 4, 2021. My surgery was smooth, and painless. They played my favorite artist Kacey Musgrave’s for me in the operating room and after that I woke up with beads around my neck and Dr.Daniel along with his team congratulating me. To go on, I only took the medication Dr.Daniels prescribed me for about 2 weeks along with edibles my mother had gotten me (sorry Dr.Daniel). I stopped the pills after 2 weeks because they did cause some depression however the pharmacist warns you about that and so does Dr.Daniels which is normal after a cosmetic surgery because you don’t recognize yourself along with other things. However the edibles were really all I needed after 2 weeks because I wasn’t in a ton of pain except when my mom use to do the massages but that is totally normal. My boobs are lovely now I don’t feel pain anymore and my scaring is practically invisible. After the surgery we were amazed by how small the incision cuts were, which is amazing because with other cosmetic surgeons they were talking about leaving huge incision scars where Dr.Daniels incision cuts are precise and leave none to little scars. Growing up boobs were something I always wanted due to my family having huge boobs, yet it unfortunately skipped a generation with my sister and I. He has fixed of my insecurities I had for years and gave me a self of peace, and made
