Enter our waiting room where relaxation is key. We make sure that you feel peaceful and welcome, and provide soft music and tea, coffee, or water for your refreshment.

While you're waiting, we offer a free skin care analysis using the latest technology, VISIA™.

"Bella" is Italian for beautiful. Dr. Chiaramonte wanted the "the image of beauty" to greet each patient that enters his practice. He does not believe that there is one type of beauty, and he strives to enhance the unique beauty that each patient possesses. His goal is to match your outer beauty with your inner beauty. He has come to realize that each surgical journey is different for each and every patient and he wants to make sure that each journey is a beautiful one from start to finish. He wants to empower each and every person that comes to his practice to reveal the beauty that has been there all along!

Dr. Chiaramonte will discuss with you all questions and concerns during your medical consultation. He will let you know his medical opinion and suggest procedures to correct the areas you would like addressed. He believes in educating you and, by doing so, allowing you to make an educated decision about how you would like to proceed with your journey.

Dr. Chiaramonte brings the same attention to minor surgical procedures that he applies to more extensive cosmetic surgeries. At Bella Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Chiaramonte has facilities in which he performs scar repair, earlobe repair, and other less invasive procedures. This area is placed strategically within the office so that it is private and accessible through a separate entrance.

Deciding to have cosmetic surgery can be very private decision. Here at Bella Cosmetic Surgery, we pride ourselves in complying with your need for privacy.
