Can Dr. Bitner address both cosmetic and functional/reconstructive issues?
Yes — Dr. Bitner treats cosmetic concerns and performs reconstructive procedures, such as repairing defects after Mohs surgery, correcting injury-related damage, and revising past surgeries when necessary.
What is involved in hair restoration with Dr. Bitner?
Hair restoration typically uses modern techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to harvest and transplant individual hair follicles for natural-looking regrowth and improved hair density.
Is a virtual consultation an option?
Yes — virtual consultations are available for patients who are out of town or prefer a remote appointment to discuss goals and get an initial evaluation.
How do I know which procedure is right for me?
During a consultation Dr. Bitner reviews your concerns, examines your anatomy and skin, discusses goals, and recommends a personalized plan that may include surgical or minimally invasive options.
What kind of results can I expect, and how soon will I see them?
Minimally invasive treatments (fillers, Botox, resurfacing) often show quick improvement. Surgical procedures have variable healing times — swelling and recovery can take weeks to months before final results are visible. Dr. Bitner emphasizes natural-looking, precise outcomes.

Costs vary by procedure and complexity. Dr. Bitner’s practice provides cost information and financing options to help patients plan; a consultation gives a personalized estimate.
