What We Offer

Facelift

Dr Romano performs the full spectrum of facial surgery with special attention to facelift and dramatic and safe results, and importantly, very natural. He uses the latest state-of-the-art techniques which are customized to accommodate your expectations and anatomy. Healing is rapid with minimal bruising and no pain.

Buffalo Hump

Dr Romano has consistently been predictably treating and curing this condition in patients. It is performed by specialized liposuction. The procedure takes one hour. There is very little pain and a rapid recovery. Results are profound, dramatic and immediate.

Facial Liposuction

If you’re looking for a safe and reliable solution to excess fatty deposits in your face and neck area, turn to the professional treatment from Dr. James Romano. His advanced technique will take little time, but dramatically rejuvenate your face and neck.

Breast Augmentation

Patients are extremely happy with our very extensive consultations and comprehensive education. The surgery is very well planned so you obtain the size and look you want with rapid healing and VERY LITTLE or NO pain, and quick return to work, exercise, and daily activities.

Tubular Breast Correction

This is a super specialized area of breast enhancement dealing with correction of an abnormal shape, foundation, tightness and puffiness of the breast. Through the typical small incision, extensive internal release of tight tissues, reshaping breast foundation and creating roundness is artistically and carefully performed.

Breast Augmentation Revision

Dr Romano has enormous and extensive experience with this condition in patients that have already had implants and now problems. Using customized techniques and technologies he has perfected this surgery to totally correct the full spectrum of problems such as pain, fatigue (Breast Implant Illness), positioning, irregularities, deformity, contractures, asymmetry, and size.

Buccal Fat Pad Excision

This is a very specialized surgery that requires a keen aesthetic eye, evaluation and counselling. It is not that invasive, but the skill is in evaluating your expectations and how your anatomy will allow this safely and predictably. It may be done alone or in combination with facial liposuction or facelift. The results are dramatic, and this is why we must be very careful.

Belly Button Surgery

Dr Romano has treated and corrected all the different deformities of the belly button area that may be congenital from birth or acquired as a result of hernia, laparoscopy, piercings or other procedures. The skill and artistry involves performing this surgery and yet hiding all the incisions deep and on the inside.

Nipple Surgery

Even though a small area of the body in relation to all else, it is profoundly important to look and feel and function naturally. Dr Romano has throughout his career operated and cured inverted, enlarged, scarred, asymmetric, or deformed nipples. It is a 1-2 hour operation under local anesthesia with return to work and full activity the same day.

Thank you James for such a great job! My breasts look so natural and feel so soft that my boyfriend still doesn’t know that I did breast augmentation. I have been living with him for 2 years.
