Whether it be breast augmentation, reduction or a post-partum breast lift, we’re here to help you feel comfortable and confident as you consider breast surgery. According to the ASPS, this past year, more women choose breast enhancement than any other cosmetic, surgical procedure. In addition to enhancement, we guide numerous women to return to life with enhanced comfort, after a breast reduction. Breast reduction is often covered by insurance companies.
There are a number of reasons why someone may feel that his or her body attributes are standing in the way of feeling confident. Some may have just naturally, never developed all of the physical attributes they would have liked to. For others a pregnancy or mid-life weight loss has left them with stretched/loosened skin or weakened muscles in areas that are difficult to tone.
As we grow older our skin’s elasticity decreases and the underlying soft tissue begins to break down, giving us an increasingly aged appearance. Wrinkles, skin discoloration and unwanted facial and body hair are some of the indicators we are undergoing the typical aging process. Surgery may not be for everyone, so we offer a number of skin rejuvenation alternatives that may also reduce these signs of maturation.

Breast Augmentation , technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breast. By inserting an implant behind each breast, surgeons are able to increase a woman’s bustline by one or more bra cup sizes.

Learn MoreRhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.

Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes – features that make you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision.

Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon.
The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you’re physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.

The goal of breast reconstruction is to restore one or both breasts to near normal shape, appearance, symmetry, and size following mastectomy, lumpectomy or other trauma.
Breast reconstruction often involves several procedures performed in stages and can either begin at the time of mastectomy or be delayed until a later date.
Breast reconstruction generally falls into two categories: implant based reconstruction or flap reconstruction.
Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. During the past decade, liposuction, which is also known as “lipoplasty” or “suction lipectomy,” has benefited from several new refinements. Today, a number of new techniques, including ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), the tumescent technique, and the super-wet technique, are helping many plastic surgeons to provide selected patients with more precise results and quicker recovery times. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don’t respond to traditional weight-loss methods.
If you’re looking for something for that one tough wrinkle spot, the area between your brows, be sure to ask us about BOTOX® Cosmetic and find out if it is right for you!
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. What’s more, unlike many procedures and over-the-counter wrinkle remedies, BOTOX® Cosmetic treats the cause of these frown lines by reducing the muscle contractions that cause the lines to form over time.
