Abdominoplasty
If you have had children, or have had significant weight loss in recent years, you may
have a loose portion of skin with stretch marks and some excess fat in your abdominal
region. Pregnancy and weight loss may also significantly weaken your abdominal muscles and
contribute to sagging of your belly over time. If this area of your body has proven
resistant to dieting and exercise you may be a good candidate for abdominoplasty, better
known as the "tummy tuck."
BOTOX® Cosmetic
After years of squinting, laughing, frowning and worrying, the skin around your eyes and
on your forehead may have developed deep lines and wrinkles. These can make you look
older, tired, or stressed. These lines can have a significant impact on how others
perceive your mood, attitude, or personality. This can have a significant impact on new
introductions to business acquaintances or new friends.
Breast Augmentation
Our patients tell us how cosmetic surgery has positively impacted their appearance,
self-confidence, and attitude. One of the best examples of this is breast augmentation - a
procedure that can enhance the size and shape of your breasts. If you're considering
breast augmentation, the information under breast augmentation may be helpful to you.
Breast Lift
As a woman ages, her skin loses its ability to stretch and contract. The shape and
firmness of her breasts can deteriorate. Pregnancy and breast-feeding can also cause the
skin to stretch and breasts to sag with stretch marks. Significant weight loss can have a
similar effect. Breast lift surgery, called Mastopexy, can raise and reshape breasts. It
can reposition nipples to a higher, more youthful position.
Breast Reduction
Bigger isn't always better. There is such a thing as” too much of a good thing.”
A multitude of women suffer from physical and emotional discomfort because of the size and
weight of their breasts. Oversized breasts can cause your bra straps to cut grooves into
your shoulders, and you can experience back, shoulder and neck pain, not to mention
feelings of extreme self-consciousness. The constant rubbing of the lower breast skin
against the upper abdominal skin can cause a chronic rash and skin maceration. Excessively
large breasts can also be a
source of social embarrassment. Women often will have difficulty finding clothes that fit
and find themselves a source of unwanted attention in public. Fortunately, breast
reduction surgery can provide relief from associated physical symptoms and improve the
look and position of your breasts. The social and emotional discomfort will naturally fade
as well.
Collagen Injections
If you suffer from laugh or frown lines, crow's feet or facial scars, collagen injection
may be the solution you've been looking for. Wrinkle creams only act on the skin's
surface, offering a superficial solution to lightly soften wrinkles at best. With collagen
injections we provide a safe, non-surgical way to revitalize your skin from the inside
out. Over the years, wrinkles develop and deepen as an effect of repeated facial
expressions. This is a result of the gradual weakening of your skin's natural supply of
collagen, the protein that gives support and structure to the skin. As
skin loses its elasticity, lines form around the mouth, the eyes, and on the forehead.
Collagen replacement therapy can smooth facial lines to give you a younger look.
Eyelid Surgery
The appearance of your eyes is critical to how people perceive your age. It is the eyes
that people usually look at first on your face. If you have a youthful face, but your eyes
look tired or baggy, it will make you appear much older. On the other hand, if you have
some signs of aging, but the area showcasing your eyes looks firm, you will appear more
youthful. As we get older, looseness of the skin creates wrinkles on lower lids and
heaviness on upper lids. We can also experience bagginess under the eyes, which is caused
by excess, protruding fat pads. All of these things can add to the appearance of aging.
Face Lift
Often when patients are considering a facelift they are actually talking about multiple
facial procedures to reduce the signs of aging. Despite common misconceptions regarding
the procedure, a true face lift focuses only on the cheeks, lower face, and neck. However,
there are other procedures to lift the brow and tighten eyelids. The face lift operation
can restore ten or more years to your face. Mild facial skin wrinkles can be eliminated.
Moderate to severe wrinkles can be softened. Sagging skin and fat of the face can be
resuspended or removed to restore a more youthful
balance. Tightening of the neck muscles and removal of excess skin and fat can offer years
of rejuvenation. The result is often very dramatic but often goes unsuspected by friends
or family
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting is done to fill in hollow or depressed areas on your face or body. Fat
grafting has been around for over 10 years and improvements in the surgical technique have
made it very successful. Fat grafting will improve the shape and appearance of any place
on the body that needs to be filled in.
Brow & Forehead Lift
A low-sitting brow can create a hooded, serious look. A lined or furrowed brow can make
you appear upset, concerned, or angry. A drooping brow can make you look perpetually tired
or sad. This can give others in a social or professional setting the wrong impression
about your mood, attitude, or personality. With a brow and forehead lift you can look as
good as you feel. It corrects the sagging or low position of the eyebrows, softens
horizontal creases across the forehead, and erases a worried or angry expression. The
outcome is a more relaxed, youthful, and refreshed appearance.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
The appearance of wrinkles and abnormal skin pigmentation can be reduced using
state-of-the-art laser skin resurfacing. With this technology, we can offer a gentle,
effective alternative to cosmetic surgery that will dramatically improve surface
imperfections.
Liposculpturing
Many of my patients considering liposuction tell a similar story. Despite eating sensibly
and working out regularly, they still have "problem" areas. Even our young
patients have isolated problem areas which throw their body out of proportion. Most often
for women it's their abdomen, hips and thighs; for men it's those pesky "love
handles." In many cases, these fatty deposits cause their bodies to appear
disproportionate. Luckily, liposuction can help. Did you know that liposuction is one of
the most common cosmetic procedures performed in the U.S.? By removing fatty deposits from
problem areas, liposuction can dramatically improve the contours of your figure. And best
of all, it is safe and effective with only tiny incisions.
Radiance
Introducing Radiance, a new synthetic material made of components well-known to be
biocompatible. Each of the elements in Radiance has an extensive record of safe clinical
use in a range of applications. Radiance is composed of microspheres of calcium
hydroxylapatite (CaHA), the same material that is a major component of bone and teeth. It
is suspended in a carrier gel of sodium
carboxymethylcellulose, glycerin and water.
Rhinoplasty
If you feel your nose doesn't quite fit your face, you may be considering rhinoplasty.
It's a common cosmetic procedure to modify the shape or size of your nose. Whether you
want to remove a bump, narrow the bridge, refine a broad tip, or change your nostril size,
rhinoplasty can help. Rhinoplasty is a popular procedure with all age groups. In teenagers
it can be done once the facial bones have stopped growing, which is usually by 14 in girls
and 17 in boys.
Skin Care Treatments
Your skin works hard to protect you from the sun, heat and cold. Over time, the
environment’s harmful effects begin to show on your outer layer of skin. Non-surgical
skin care treatments can reduce the appearance of fine lines, crow’s feet, blemishes,
sun damage, scars, uneven skin tone, acne scarring, and signs of aging. Many different
types of treatments are available. |
