Surgical Procedures

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, often referred to as eyelid surgery, is the ideal solution for those wanting to improve the overall appearance of skin around the eyes. As skin ages and stretches, excess skin and fat can collect above and under the eyes. This causes noticeable sagging skin and fat deposits. Our team will start with a consultation to discuss overall goals and expectations. Before a blepharoplasty surgery, patients will receive local anesthesia to numb the surgical area and relax nerves. During the procedure, our team will create incisions on the creases of the eyelids to remove skin sagging and excess fat deposits. This procedure can last five to seven years and gives the face a rejuvenated and youthful appearance.

Face and Neck Lifts create a youthful appearance for patients by reducing skin sagging. As skin ages, it loses elasticity and can store unwanted fat deposits. Patients will receive local anesthesia before the surgery. Our team repositions the skin and facial fat during a face and neck lift procedure to remove unwanted drooping. Incisions are hidden at the hairline to avoid unwanted scarring following the surgery. Patients will experience moderate pain and swelling following a face and neck lift. Many people experience two to four weeks of downtime following the surgery. However, patients will notice smoother skin and a rejuvenated appearance after the procedure.

Breast augmentations, often referred to as augmentation mammoplasty, are a form of cosmetic surgery designed to alter the size of breasts. This procedure restores or adds volume for those looking for a fuller and more rounded breast shape. Breast augmentations can improve the overall aesthetic balance of one’s body and increase self-confidence. Our team starts with a consultation to discuss ideal breast size and primary expectations. Before the procedure, patients undergo general anesthesia. Your cosmetic surgeon will create an incision to separate the breast tissue from the massive and connective tissues. They will then insert the implant and close the incision with stitches. Patients should expect a few weeks of downtime following the procedure – many people experience minimal swelling, soreness and bruising. Patients should expect scars to fade over time. Breast augmentation results will last about ten years.

Mastopexy, commonly referred to as a breast lift, is the ideal solution for those looking to improve the appearance of sagging breasts. The rejuvenating procedure can bring a youthful appearance to those who have noticed a decrease in skin elasticity. Breast tissue can begin to sag for a variety of reasons, some of the most common being:

  • Breastfeeding
  • Weight changes
  • Aging

Our team will start with a consultation to discuss concerns and expectations. Patients undergo general anesthesia before the procedure. Your cosmetic surgeon will reshape the breasts by removing excess tissue and realigning the skin. Downtime will vary between patients. Drainage tubes remove unwanted fluids following the procedure. After one to two weeks, our team will remove the stitches. Patients should expect scars to fade over time.

Patients undergo breast augmentation revision procedures to replace older breast implants. Our team’s goal is to improve the overall appearance of the breasts while replacing implant material. breast augmentation revisions can also relieve pain as a result of capsular contracture. Before the procedure, patients will discuss their overall goals with our team. We will decide on a course of action appropriate to your expectations. Patients undergo general anesthesia for the surgery. Your cosmetic surgeon will create an incision to remove the old breast implant and replace it with a new one. Downtime will vary between patients. Following the procedure, patients will wear bandages and lightly supported bras. Our team recommends maintaining breast implants with a revision surgery every ten years.

Liposuction is an ideal procedure for any patient who wants to slim and reshape pinpointed areas of their body. While liposuction is used in a variety of areas, common treatments include:

  • Abdomen
  • Arms
  • Buttocks
  • Thighs

Before the procedure, patients will discuss their problem areas. Our team will collaborate with you to create a treatment plan that addresses your concerns. Patients undergo general anesthesia for the surgery. Our team will make a small incision and use a liposuction machine to remove unwanted fat from predetermined areas. Drainage tubes remove unwanted fluids following the procedure. Downtime will vary between patient and treatment area. Patients need to wear a compression garment following the surgery.

Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a tummy tuck, is the ideal solution for those wanting to remove unwanted fat and sagging skin around the abdominal area. The connective tissue within the abdomen is tightened to create a lasting, smoother appearance. As the skin ages, our stomach can begin to stretch and store unwanted fat deposits. Weight fluctuations and pregnancy escalate this cycle. People who have not found success with diet and exercise can remove unwanted fat depots with an abdominoplasty. Patients receive general anesthesia for the surgery. Your cosmetic surgeon will create an incision between your hip bones across your abdomen. Our team will then work to repair weakened abdominal muscles. We will pull the upper abdominal skin down and remove excess skin to close the incision, leaving patients with a flatter and smoother appearance. Drainage tubes remove unwanted fluids following the procedure. Patients should expect two to three weeks of downtime following an abdominoplasty. Normal to moderate pain is normal. Our team will meet with you for follow-up appointments to assess when you can resume regular physical activity. While a tummy tuck will not stop you from gaining weight, the results are permanent.

Mini Abdominoplasty is an excellent solution for those who want the benefits of a tummy tuck but only have minimal stomach fat. This procedure allows patients to remove smaller amounts of excess skin and fat without major incisions or reconstruction. Before the procedure, patients will discuss their overall goals with our team. We will decide on an appropriate course of action to achieve your goals. Patients receive general anesthesia during the surgery. This procedure requires a small incision to repair weakened abdominal muscles and remove unwanted fat.

While a mini abdominoplasty will not stop you from gaining weight, the results are permanent.

Before the procedure, our team will conduct a consultation to discuss your overall goals and expectations. Patients undergo general anesthesia for the surgery. Your cosmetic surgeon will create an incision on the arms to remove excess skin. The length and position of the incision will vary by patient and expectation. Following the procedure, our team will close the incision with stitches and cover it with bandages. Recovery will vary for every patient, but most experience downtime between one and two weeks. Post operation, some swelling, and bruising are expected. However, patients will notice a smoother and tighter appearance on their upper arms.

Thigh lifts are an excellent solution for those wanting to remove unwanted fat and excess skin from the inner thighs.
