3 Ways to Your Best Neck

Posted in Facial Plastic Surgery

When it comes down to facial aesthetics, balance is at the base of everything. Nothing is more noticeable than a facial appearance that is out of balance with its surrounding features, especially when that feature is the neck.

Fortunately, there are many cosmetic treatments available to restore balance and harmony to your facial appearance.

The Scarless Arm Lift

Posted in Body Plastic Surgery

Your arms are one of your most exposed features, and no one wants to hide them under sweaters and jackets during the hot summer months. Unfortunately, many people are unsatisfied with the presence of jiggling upper arms. The upper arms are one of the most challenging areas to tone, and the skin there begins to show the effects of aging and weight fluctuations early. This combination leads many to desire cosmetic help. Traditionally, arm lift surgery is performed to address sagging on the upper arms. However, advances in minimally invasive procedures have allowed doctors the ability to provide their patients with alternatives to surgery.

The Scarless Tummy Tuck

Posted in Non-Surgical Procedures

For years, tummy tuck surgery was the only cosmetic way to achieve a toned and sculpted abdomen. Tummy tuck surgery is so beneficial because it not only removes unwanted, excess abdominal fat but also treats skin laxity, something that most non-surgical or minimally-invasive procedures cannot do. Even liposuction, with its powerful ability to remove unwanted fat cells, cannot tighten skin adequately and, therefore, is not always a viable alternative to tummy tuck surgery. Fortunately, those days seem to be coming to a close.
