Liposuction
Considering Lipsocution
Liposuction is the surgical vacuuming of fat from beneath the surface of the
skin. It is used to reduce fullness in any area of the body. It is an excellent
method of spot reduction, but not a method for overall weight loss. Individuals
who are slightly overweight can benefit from liposuction and generally people
who have localized areas of protruding fat achieve the most dramatic results.

Face Lifts
Considering a Face Lift
The effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and stress can be seen in our
faces as we age. For example, deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the
jawline can grow slack making us appear jowly and folds and fat deposits start
to appear around the neck. A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, can't stop
this aging process. But it can turn back time, improving the most visible signs
of aging, by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping
the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done as a stand-alone
procedure or in conjunction with others such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery,
or nose reshaping. Ask us about a program that is right for you or click on the
link for a full brochure and
additional information. Some people only require a neck lift or just lifting
the face without the neck.

Eyelids
Considering Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is designed to remove the excess
fat, skin and muscle, from the upper and lower eyelids. It is the second most
common aesthetic procedure performed by plastic surgeons. A blepharoplasty
procedure can brighten the face and restore a more youthful appearance. The
procedure is commonly done in a in an outpatient surgical center or, in some
cases, in a hospital. Click on the link for a full brochure and ask us if this procedure is right for you.

Noses
Considering Cosmetic Nose Surgery
Cosmetic nose surgery or rhinoplasty, is designed to reduce excess cartilage
and bone in the nose, removing irregularities and bumps to give a straightened,
smooth and, sometines smaller appearance. Adding tissue to enhance certain
features of the nose may also be a part of the process. The overall trend in
modern rhinoplasty is individualized treatment of each segment of the nose to
give a balanced and refined look without affecting its function. Click on the

Chemical Peel
Considering Chemical Peel
Chemical peel is helpful for those individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles
and uneven skin pigmentation. Chemical peel is most commonly performed for
cosmetic to enhance appearance and your self-confidence. A Chemical peel may
also remove pre-cancerous skin growths and soften or control acne and facial
scarring. It uses a chemical solutions, Phenol, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and
alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), to improve the texture of the facial skin by
removing its damaged outer layers. The exact formula is individualized for each
patient's needs. A chemical peel is not a substitute for facelift surgery and
it will not prevent or slow the aging process. Ask us about a Chemical peel
program that is right for you. Click on Chemical Peel for a full brochure and additional
information.

Dermabrasion
Considering Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion and dermaplaning are skin-refinishing techniques to help smooth
the skin's top layers through a method of controlled surgical scraping. The
treatments soften the sharp edges of surface irregularities, giving the skin a
smoother appearance. Dermabrasion is used to improve the look of facial skin
left scarred by accidents or previous surgery. It can also smooth out fine
facial wrinkles, such as those around the mouth. Dermaplaning is often used to
treat deep acne scars. Both dermabrasion and dermaplaning can be performed on small
areas or on the entire face. They can be used alone, or in conjunction with
other procedures such as facelift or chemical peel. Ask us about dermabrasion
or click on the link for a full brochure
and additional information.

Breast Augmentation
Considering Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a
surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast for a
number of reasons. These include enhancement of the body contour, correct a
reduction in breast volume after pregnancy, and to balance a difference in
breast size, or as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery. By
inserting an implant behind each breast, surgeons are able to increase a
woman's bustline by one or more bra cup sizes. Ask us if a breast augmentation
procedure is right for you, or click on the link for a full brochure and additional

Breast Lift
Considering a Breastlift
Over the years, certain factors such as gravity take their toll on a woman's
breasts. As a result of skin loosing its elasticity, breasts often lose shape
and firmness and may begin to sag. The surgical procedure to raise and reshape
sagging breasts, is a breastlift or "Mastopexy". Although no surgery
delay the effects of gravity permanently, Mastopexy can increase both their
firmness and their size (with implants). If you're considering a breast lift,
ask us more about when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you
can expect. For more information on Breastlift and a full brochure on this topic, click on the

Breast Reduction
Considering Breast Reduction
Breast reduction, known as reduction mammaplasty, for women with very large,
pendulous breasts. These women sometimes experience medical problems caused by
the excessive weight, such as back and neck pain and skin irritation to
skeletal deformities and breathing problems. Mammaplasty is a procedure that
removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller,
lighter, and firmer, as well as a reduction in the size of the areola, the
darker area surrounding the nipple. The goal of breast reduction is to give
women smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of their body.
