Body Contouring and Enhancement

We can modify your body (trunk, arms, legs, and buttock) from removal of only a small fatty excess to correction of larger problems including those caused by aging. We can use minimal surgery, liposuction, and ZERONA™ (a non-invasive laser) to accomplish these changes. From a large experience in excisional surgery, Dr. Buchanan became one of the first surgeons trained in this country to perform liposuction. He has continued to develop the technique since, and uses it with other procedures.

Breast Surgery

We specialize in minimally invasive office procedures. Dr. Buchanan obtained significant experience with breast surgery while on the faculty of the University of Oklahoma at the Center for Breast Health, then, a multispecialty institute that Dr. Buchanan helped develop, caring for the full spectrum of breast problems, both medical and surgical from diagnosis to treatment.
