Breast Augmentation Report
Every year over 2 million women undergo breast augmentation surgery in the U.S. The surgery is very popular worldwide; over 96% of patients surveyed would do it again or recommend it to their friends. Most women who are considering breast surgery research for at least one year before scheduling their consultation.
Chest Wall Contouring for Gynecomastia
Male patients for the treatment of breast growth [gynecomastia] often request chest wall contouring. Enlarged breasts, usually hormonally related, can afflict both teen-age boys and mature men
Facelift
Recent trends in facelift surgery include short incisions that are limited to the hairline and in front of the ear. Limited incisions create shorter surgical times, abbreviated recovery periods, and reduced potential for complications.
Short Scar Facelift
For the past 3 years I have used the short scar facelift (also known as a meloplasty) extensively for facial rejuvenation. Two thirds of my facelift procedures are designed with the short scar approach.
Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery
Cosmetic eyelid surgery is what patients often request seeking facial rejuvenation [blepheroplasty]. According to the most recent statistics from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery there were 290,000 cosmetic blepheroplasties performed by its surgeons in 2004 (up 82% from 1997).
Lip Enhancement
The goals of lip enhancement are:
Fuller, more natural-appearing lips.Predictable, dependable surgery.
A long-lasting result and preservation of the “dental show” [so that the teeth are easily visible when smiling]. No functional or sensory loss.
Circumferential Torsoplasty
The scanner is able to generate a “storybook” for you to document your postoperative progress and recreate your image on demand.
