- Medical Weight LossSurgery may be discouraged for obese men, or for overweight men who have not first attempted to correct the problem with exercise or weight loss. Also, individuals who drink alcohol beverages in excess or smoke marijuana are usually not considered good candidates for surgery. These drugs, along with anabolic steroids, may cause enlarged male breasts. Therefore, patients are first directed to stop the use of these drugs to see if the breast fullness will diminish before surgery is considered an option.

Notice the harmonious jawline and lifted jowls. This is important as nowadays people overfill a lot of areas and then patients look very unnatural.

- Blepharoplasty33 year old female patient before and 3 months after bilateral upper blepharoplasty picture. Notice the nice natural improvement of her upper eyes.

She did not want anything done to her lower eyes at this time.

- Scar Revision24-year-old Hispanic male before and 6 months after scar revision of a wide depressed lateral chin scar that bothered him. Usually inside PDS stitches are used to hold together the incision at multiple layers. The sutures absorb over 4 months to try to keep the scars as skinny as possible. Notice also that the scar is much shorter in length because short scar techniques are used to close it in on itself. This results in puckering initially but this settled pretty quickly, even in young skin.

- Laser ResurfacingLike the other resurfacing methods, the laser is effective in treating wrinkles, blotchiness or age spots, and scars from acne or other causes. It can be used on the entire face or specific areas. Patients with a variety complexions, including some darker-skinned individuals, may be treated with the laser. Certain other characteristics of your skin, such as its thickness and texture, may influence whether you are a good candidate for laser resurfacing. Some patients may benefit from the laser's mild "tightening" effect on the skin, particularly in the lower eyelid area where the skin often becomes somewhat loose as a result of aging. Understanding Skin Treatment Risks
- GynecomastiaGynecomastia is a medical term that comes from the Greek words for "women-like breasts." Though this oddly named condition is rarely talked about, it's actually quite common. Gynecomastia affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. It may affect only one breast or both. Though certain drugs and medical problems have been linked with male breast overdevelopment, there is no known cause in the vast majority of cases.

All patients undergo a shave biopsy for diagnosis to delineate what treatment is necessary. With smaller skin cancers, a simple excision in the office as a five minute procedure under local anesthesia is usually all that is required. You can see an excellent result was obtained. The larger a cancer gets, then skin grafts or flaps might be required. Patient also started using our Scar Support Product 3 weeks after her procedure. She did not have any laser treatments.

- Chemical PeelsA chemical peel solution may be applied to your entire face or just to certain regions, such as the crow's feet area around your eyes or the vertical wrinkles around your mouth. Your plastic surgeon will apply the solution using a sponge, a cotton pad or sometimes, for smaller areas, a cotton swab or brush. Your surgeon decides how long to leave the solution on your face by carefully observing any changes in the appearance of your skin. With certain types of chemical peels, the solution may be "neutralized" after an appropriate amount of time has elapsed.
