Mission: Elevating Natural Beauty
Dr. Burchhardt is committed to delivering optimal facial balance and harmony, ensuring a beautifully natural look for her patients. She listens to her patients carefully, understands their unique goals and concerns, and tailors treatments accordingly. No two faces are alike, and no two surgical approaches are the same. Dr. Burchhardt takes a completely personalized approach to her procedures to ensure optimal aesthetic outcomes and satisfaction.
Dr. Burchhardt’s approach is grounded in safe surgeries that avoid undue risk while delivering natural-looking results. In a beautifully harmonious face, the eyes and lips should be the focal points—all other parts of the face must complement those features. Dr. Burchhardt restores that balance by correcting all “detractors,” such as a disproportionate nose, heavy jowls, or sagging brows. Dr. Burchhardt’s ultimate aim is to elevate and emphasize your innate beauty.
