- Medical Weight LossAfter massive weight loss achieved through diet and exercise, individuals often have loose, sagging skin and uneven contours.

- Labor and DeliveryLabiaplasty, also known as labia reduction or labia rejuvenation, is a procedure to decrease the size and improve the appearance of enlarged, hypertrophic or asymmetrical labia minora. The enlarged labia may cause some women to experience discomfort during different physical activities. Some of the distortion of the labia can be due to changes that occur during childbirth. In addition to childbirth, aging and various types of injuries can cause the labia to become enlarged or asymmetrical.

- UltrasoundThe UAL technique uses a special cannula that vibrates at a high rate of speed and gives off ultrasound energy. As the UAL cannula passes through fat cells, the ultrasonic waves emulsify or liquefy the fat before it is suctioned out. Benefits of ultrasound-assisted liposuction compared to traditional liposuction include less trauma to surrounding tissue and smoother skin.
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation TherapyFlap surgery creates scars at the site where the flap was taken and on the reconstructed breast. However, flap surgery has the advantage of being able to replace tissue in the chest area. This may be useful when the chest tissues have been damaged and are not suitable for tissue expansion as is sometimes the case following radiation therapy.

She graduated from Indiana University School of Medicine before completing her residency in general surgery at Methodist Hospital & Indiana University Hospital.
- Ear SurgeryEar surgery is commonly performed under general anesthesia and takes about two to three hours, although complicated procedures may take longer. Your surgeon will make a small incision in the back of the ear to expose the ear cartilage. The cartilage will be sculpted and bent back toward the head. Permanent stitches may be used to help maintain the new shape. It should be noted that even when only one ear appears to protrude, surgery may be performed on both ears for a better balance. In most cases, ear surgery will leave a faint scar in the back of the ear that will fade with time.
- Reconstructive SurgeryDr. Bergman has been in practice for many years and enjoys that plastic and reconstructive surgery allows her to use science to create a pleasing aesthetic result. By customizing each procedure based upon the individual need and desired goals of her patients, Dr Bergman's patients enjoy superior results that help patients enhance their looks and boost their self-confidence

- LiposuctionBrachioplasty is the medical term for an arm lift. An arm lift reduces excess skin and underlying fat that occurs between the underarm region and the elbow, reshaping the arm to result in smoother skin with more normal contours. The incision may extend from the underarm to the elbow or be more limited in length. Excess skin and fat are removed. Liposuction may also be utilized to give the upper arm a better contour. The trade-off to an improved arm contour is a resulting scar on the inside portion of the upper arm.
- Breast Augmentation"I just wanted to let Dr.Grasee and the staff know how wonderful they were. I am coming upon a year after my breast augmentation and I love the results.

I am very pleased and would definitely refer others to your practice."
- Breast ReductionThe breast reduction procedure is commonly performed through a "keyhole" incision. The nipple, which remains tethered to its original blood and nerve supply, is then repositioned. The areola is reduced if necessary. Rarely, a free transfer of nipple/areolar complex is performed. In any case, incision lines are visible and permanent but will fade with time.
