Featured Procedure
Facelift
As we age, the thin eyelid skin under our eye descends down due to the effects of gravity. This same gravity affects the cheek and also causes “jowl” formation and deepening of the nasolabial fold. This is worsened by loss of volume, or deflation, of the face and cheek. As a result, the eyelid skin which is usually over the cheekbone elongates and descends below the cheekbone, causing dark circles and giving a tired appearance. Also, the muscles of the neck weaken and fat accumulates in the neck. This produces neck “bands”, fullness in the neck and excess skin. Finally, the brow descends and extra skin develops in the upper eyelid. People raise their eyebrows to compensate, causing deep lines and furrows on the forehead. Fortunately, there are several options to improve these features.

Breast Lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is procedure where the breast is lifted up higher onto the chest, the nipple – areolar complex is elevated onto the center of the breast and the size of the nipple – areolar complex is reduced if needed. Scars on the breast are required to perform this procedure. Essentially, the breast gland tissue is preserved and the skin envelope of the breast is reduced in order to lift the breast. This causes more breast tissue to be in a smaller area, thereby lifting the breast and creating a fuller breast.

Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes excess, loose skin from the abdomen and tightens and contours the abdominal wall. Women who have children experience repetitive stretching of the abdominal skin which causes tearing of the layers of the skin in the form of stretch marks. Men and women who have weight changes experience a similar effect. This results in loss of elasticity to the abdominal skin. In addition, the abdominal “six-pack” (rectus muscles stretch and the space between them widens, resulting in a type of “bulging” to the abdomen. This can exacerbate back pain.

Featured Procedure
Liposuction
When properly utilized in carefully selected patients, liposuction is a powerful tool to remove excess fatty tissue and sculpt the body. While there is a role for non-invasive machines, liposuction is the gold standard for minimally invasive body contouring. The results are more predictable and more significant. Liposuction can be used as a stand – alone procedure or to enhance procedures such as tummy tuck, arm/thigh lift and neck lifts.
