ProceduresClick on any of the following links to read a brief overview of our most commonly performed procedures. More detailed information about these, as well as the other cosmetic surgery procedures available to you, can be obtained at the time of your consultation. Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammoplasty) is a surgical procedure which should be considered by a woman who wishes to increase her breast volume and improve the aesthetic appearance of her breasts. Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty) is a surgical procedure which should be considered by a woman who wishes to decrease her breast volume and improve the aesthetic appearance of her breasts. Breast Lift (Mastopexy) is chosen by women who have sagging (ptosis) of the breasts and wish to improve their cosmetic appearance. Mastopexy is often combined with placement of an implant. Mastopexy is an artistic three dimensional procedure which allows for sculpting and shaping of the breast tissue and skin envelope. Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure which provides aesthetic improvement of the eyelids. Methods for aesthetic improvement of the skin of the eyelid region also exist such as chemical peeling and laser resurfacing. Facelift (Rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure which targets several aesthetic deformities of the face and neck. Facelift techniques range from simple skin tightening procedures to those involving dissection and repositioning of deeper soft tissue layers. A successful facelift should allow an individual to "look younger, rested and refreshed" but it cannot make someone look like someone else. Skin Resurfacing is a procedure which targets coarse and fine wrinkles (rhytids) of the face. Laser devices and chemical peels are typically chosen for this task. Laser peels and chemical peels are both similar in that they both create a wound to the facial skin surface which should heal in a predictable fashion and produce the desired effect. Liposuction involves careful removal of fat from areas of the body that are resistant to diet control and exercise. Abdominoplasty includes those procedures which improve aesthetics and restore balance to a person's abdomen and trunk. Ancillary Procedures include non-surgical options for aesthetic enhancement such as Botox injections, dermal fillers and skin care.
