SURGICAL SERVICES Breast Augmentation (Breast Enlargement) This procedure uses FDA regulated implants to increase the size of the breasts. This is usually performed on women with congenitally small breasts or those who have lost volume after pregnancy. The size and shape of the implant is chosen by the individual in conjunction with the doctor’s advice and best judgment to create the desired result. For more information and a virtual comparison of breast implant size to your own personal frame, please see: Click here for before and after photos.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy) A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure with a new breast profile that is youthful and uplifted. A lift raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and give a new breast contour. Many of our patients have opted for a breast lift along with receiving breast implants. Your breast lift surgery can be achieved through a variety of incision patterns and techniques. The appropriate technique will be determined based on your breast size and shape, the size and position of your areolas, the degree of breast sagging and your skin quality and elasticity as well. Your incisions will be determined during your consultation. Through these incisions, the underlying breast tissue is lifted and rehaped to improve breast contour and firmness. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a natural, more youthful eight. Sometimes the areola also becomes enlarged over time and a breast lift will reduce this as well. You will experience swelling and discomfort at the incision sites. However, we will prescribe medications that will contol the discomfort and reduce the risk of infection. We recommend that you wear a support bra around the clock for the first week or so. Initial healing may take 5 to 10 days at which time any sutures will be removed. You should be ready to return to work and normal activity at that time, as long as you do not engage in heavy lifting or vigorous exercise. Healing will continue for several weeks as swelling dissipates and incision lines continue to improve.

LipoSelection with Vaser Technology Vaser®LipoSelection is a minimally invasive procedure that precisely and efficiently removes areas of unwanted body fat. An alternative to traditional lipsuction performed in the past, Vaser® uses state of the art ultrasound technology to gently reshape your body. Only the LipoSelection procedure uses the Vaser System to first liquify the fat by injecting a special saline solution that numbs the site and shrinks the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making it easier to break up the fatty tissue for easy removal. This advanced technology promotes smoother results with low to minimal pain and bruising.

Facelift If you are bothered by the signs of aging in your face, a facelift may be right for you. A facelift will remove excess fat, sagging facial skin and muscles and restore firmness to create a more youthful, rested and vibrant appearance. Facelifting is the ultimate way to treat the aging face. This procedure lifts and tightens underlying muscles, removes the loose sagging skin of the face and neck and improves unflattering facial wrinkles. The youthful facial appearance you once enjoyed can be restored with this procedure Traditional facelift incisions often begin in the hairline at the temples, continue around the ear and end in the lower sclap. Fat may be sculpted or redistributed from the face, jowls nd neck and underlying tissue is repositioned. Skin is redraped over the uplifted contours and excess skin is trimmed away. A second incision may be necessary to further improve an aging neck. Sutures or skin adhesives close the incisions. You will experience swelling and may include numbness and discomfort that will be controlled with medication. You should be ready to return to work and light, normal activity from 2 to 4 weeks. Cosmetics can usually camouflage any bruising that remains. It may take several months for swelling to fully dissipate and up to six (6) months for incision lines to mature. Once healed, the incision lines are easily concealed within the hairline and the natural contours of the face and ear. During your consultation, we can discuss other alternatives to the traditional facelift, including a mini-lift or browlift using the Endotine device. Our face, through expression and appearance, conveys what and how we feel. Visible signs of aging can greatly impact how we feel about ourselves and how others see us. If you experience a loss of skin elasicity and firmness, sagging tissue and wrinkles, a facelift may be your answer. See the difference in some of our patients.

Endotine MidFace Rejuvenation A new technology created to provide a less invasive surgery to the typical facelift. This procedure elevates the area between your lower eyelids and your mouth (which is considered the midface). By making a small incision in the hairline, and implanting the Endotine Clip, which is a device that has five small tissue holders or tines to grasp the cheek tissue gently but secure elevating this area to a new position. This device will remain for 30 to 60 days until tissue can naturally adheres to the bone and then disappears as it is absorbed into the body. Men and women have both opted for this procedure.

Endotine Ribbon Lift (Lower Jowl Rejuvenation) The ENDOTINE Ribbon device is intended for use in elevation and fixation of lower facial tissues. Unlike any other traditional method, the ENDOTINE Ribbon’s combination of secure fixation and bioabsorbability lets nature’s healing process proceed without residual fixation artifacts to detract from the results, leading to greater patient satisfaction! The Ribbon can be used as a stand-alone device for minimally invasive rejuvenation of the neck and jowl, or as an adjunct to enhance open face and neck lift procedures. Used as a stand-alone minimally invasive approach, the Ribbon lift can be performed in minutes per side under local anesthesia.

VeraFil™ Lip Implant VeraFil™lip implant is a unique solution to thin lips or those lips that are thinning as we age. What makes this implant different from those of the past? This implant can be adjusted after insertion. After the implant is placed into the lip and optimal positioning has been achieved, we then inject saline into the implant fill tube until desired volume is reached giving you a customized look. The fill tube is then removed and the valve self-seals. You can see the results immediately and has a relatively quick recovery. The added benefit of the implant it is mostly saline, a natural ingredient that makes up over 90% of your body. The saline is contained in a very thin, flexible balloon. This balloon is coated with a special porous material allowing your tissue to gently grip VeraFil™, which keeps it from shifting, bunching or folding. However, since VeraFil™ is so soft and stretchy it will not restrict movementl. They are available in a variety of lengths, widths and curvatures to give you a very natural appearance full lips. VeraFil™ is permanent but can be removed at any time. For more information, visit www.evermedical.com

Butt Lift There are several ways this can be accomplished. One has been performed for several years, in other countries, and has recently become popular in the United States. This procedure requires liposuctioning areas, such as the abdomen, flanks and thighs, and then transferring the fat into the buttocks by injection. Another procedure, we can make an incision at the base of the buttocks on both sides and then we actually lift the muscle into place where it should be or we can place implants into the buttocks to achieve a pleasing result.
Labiaplasty/Labioplasty Labiaplasty or sometimes spelled Labioplasty, is a surgical procedure involving the labia, or any of four folds of tissue of the vulva (female external genitalia). It may be undertaken to alleviate discomfort caused by a large or misshaped labia, often interfering with working out, engaging in sports activities, women experiencing discomfort during sexual intimacy or wearing tight fitting clothes. If not for medical reasons, many women have the procedure wishing to aesthetically enhance the appearance of the vulva to give them a more youthful look or normal appearing labia. Labiaplasty is performed on an outpatient basis in our surgery center under IV sedation or “twilight sleep”. After surgery, women may experience some mild discomfort and swelling, which usually disappears completely after 1 – 2 weeks. You may return to work in one week.
Ear Pinning (Otoplasty) The art of surgically alternating the position or undesirable appearance of the ears. This operation is performed on anyone who feels that his or her ears stick out too far from the sides of their head. This procedure may be done on children as early as age five. Having the operation can avoid the distress caused from teasing at school.
Vnus®Closure for Varicose Veins Approximately 25 million people in the United States suffer from superficial venous reflux disease which results in discomfort, swelling and varicose veins. Traditionally, patients diagnosed with venous reflux would undergo painful vein stripping surgery. Now, our patients can be treated with the minimally invasive procedure called Vnus®Closure. The Closure® procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, either in our fully accredited surgical center or hospital outpatient surgery facility. Using ultrasound technology, a tiny catheter will be positioned into the diseased vein, through a small opening in the skin. This catheter delivers radio-frequency (RF) energy into the vein wall. As the RF energy is delivered and the catheter is withdrawn, the vein wall is heated causing the collagen in the wall to shrink and the vein to close. Once the diseased vein is closed, blood is re-routed to other healthy veins. Our patients have reported feeling little, if any pain, during or after the procedure, along with mininmal to no scarring, bruising or swelling. Patients are walking immediately following the procedure and typically resume normal activities within one day. Many patients notice an immediate relief of symptoms such as pain, leg heaviness and fatique. The full benefits of the procedure may take up to 1 to 2 weeks. For more detailed information, visit the Vnus Closure website at www.vnus.com
