- Medical Weight LossIf you ask women to name the “problem areas” of their bodies, the upper thighs may be at the top of the list for many. Even fit people – especially those who have achieved major weight loss goals – can suffer from loose skin, excess fat deposits or a flabby, sagging appearance in the thighs. The effects of weight changes and aging can take a significant toll on the appearance of the thighs. In some cases, excess skin can also be a significant concern. Because of these concerns about the appearance of their thighs, many women refrain from wearing swimsuits, short skirts or shorts.
- GlaucomaPeople with eye disease, including glaucoma or retinal detachment, thyroid disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular disease or high blood pressure are not good candidates for blepharoplasty.
- PregnancyPregnancy and childbirth can be tremendously inspirational and cherished experiences and, for many women, there is no greater joy than bringing a new life into the world. Pregnant women and new mothers often seem to glow with the beauty of their experience and love for their babies.
- Labor and DeliveryAt the same time, however, childbirth and pregnancy can be accompanied by major physical changes and side effects. No matter how hard you work to bring back your pre-baby body, it can seem like some of these effects are irreversible. Many of these changes may be unexpected – and undesirable.

- Ear SurgeryOtoplasty (ear surgery) is a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of the ears. Otoplasty does not affect hearing, and provides significant psychological benefits to anyone who is teased about ear size and/or shape, has had a serious ear injury, or simply wants to improve his or her appearance. Otoplasty is most often performed to set unusually protruding ears closer to the head (ear pinning) or to reduce the size of abnormally large ears.

- BotoxBOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription drug that, when injected, temporarily paralyzes muscles. It contains a purified and safe form of botulinum toxin A, which is produced by the microbe that causes botulism. Manufactured by Allergan, Inc., it is used to treat permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin that are formed by the continual contraction of facial muscles. In addition to its cosmetic applications, it is used to treat a number of medical problems, including excessive sweating, overactive bladder, neck spasms, crossed eyes, chronic back and jaw pain, and migraines.
- Brow LiftThere are two techniques used for performing brow lifts. The classic lift requires a long incision that runs across the top of the head, at the hair line, and down to the ears. However, for a woman who has a high forehead, a coronal incision, which is made behind the hairline, may be used. The endoscopic lift requires three to five small incisions that are made across the forehead, at the hairline. These shorter incisions mean a shorter recovery time and less scarring than those from a traditional brow lift.
- Eyelid SurgeryBlepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is a plastic surgery procedure for correcting sagging or drooping eyelids. The eyelid, because its skin is much thinner than that in other parts of the face, is often one of the first facial areas to exhibit signs of aging. Eyelids that sag or droop can affect peripheral vision, making daily activities such as driving more difficult. Blepharoplasty may become necessary when various factors, which include aging, sun damage, smoking and obesity, cause the muscles and tissue that support the eyelids to weaken.
- LiposuctionAn arm lift can also be combined with liposuction. This combination procedure can target persistent fat deposits while tightening loose and sagging skin at the same time. While the brachioplasty will surgically remove the excess skin responsible for the appearance of “bat wings,” liposuction can target stubborn areas of fat.
- Breast AugmentationThe appearance of a woman’s breasts can play a major role in self-perception and self-confidence.

- Thigh LiftA thigh lift can help people to feel more body confidence and pride, returning to wearing the items that showcase their bodies.

- Nose SurgeryCandidates should be at least 13 years old since it is important that patients have finished their facial growth before proceeding with this surgery. Patients considering nose surgery should be in overall good health, should not be smokers, and should have realistic expectations about the outcome. Rhinoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia and takes from 1 to 2 hours. There are two methods for performing a rhinoplasty: open and closed. The surgeon will choose the appropriate procedure for each individual patient.

- OtoplastyPeople of any age who feel self-conscious about their ears may be good candidates for otoplasty, although it is typically performed on children between 4 and 14 years old. Ears are almost fully developed by the of age 4, so early surgery can help create self-confidence when a child begins going to school. Not everyone is a candidate for otoplasty; a patient must be in good general health, and have realistic expectations about what it can do.
- Lip AugmentationLip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that, either surgically or with injections, increases lip size. Either the upper or lower lip, or both, can be augmented.

- Cosmetic SurgeryPlastic or cosmetic surgery actually covers a variety of procedures which alter the body’s outward appearance. Procedures are used to shape certain body parts such as the breast or nose, soften skin tone to reduce or eliminate wrinkles, and to correct problems resulting from accident or disease.
- DermabrasionTattoos no longer have to be permanent. Intense, fast-pulse Q-switched lasers can remove or significantly lighten a tattoo by training pulsing light on the tattoo’s ink particles, which convert the energy to heat and break up into tiny pieces that are absorbed harmlessly by the body, without any damage to surrounding tissue. Ideal candidates for laser tattoo removal are typically fair-skinned, and have tattoos that are on areas, such as the arms, legs, buttocks or chest, that have a greater concentration of body fat. Prior to laser, techniques for removing tattoos included dermabrasion, cryosurgery and surgical excision.
- Bariatric SurgeryAfter weight loss, bariatric surgery or other major bodily changes, loose skin and remaining areas of excess fat can prevent people from achieving their highest level of self-confidence and comfort in their skin. More >>
