- Medical Weight LossA tummy tuck is not a substitution for weight-loss or exercise programs, and it should not be chosen as an option for obesity treatment. It’s a fit for individuals who are in good health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations of the surgery outcomes. It’s particularly sought after by women after pregnancy, and individuals who have undergone considerable weight-loss that has left behind loose skin.

- Breast ReductionI want to thank Dr. M Kayser for the procedure he did for me in April this year. I asked my family physician about having a breast reduction and had gone to a general surgeon who was recommended to me but I just did not feel right even after I went for a second visit. Then my close friend showed me an article from the paper with Dr. M Kayser discussing breast reduction using the new SPAIR technique where the scaring is 50% less than the traditional anchor technique. I met with Dr. M Kayser. He was very thorough and I felt confident after our visit. I met with Dr. M Kayser a few times before surgery and I was more sure with each visit. I am a registered nurse and I feel that Dr. M Kayser is very professional. He cares about his patients, takes pride in his work and I found him to be a perfectionist …and Dr. M Kayser did a perfect job. When I went for my first post-op visit, the staff asked me how I was doing; with a big smile I told them, “I was the happiest girl in the world.†That’s how I felt then and I still do four months later. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t thank God and then I thank Dr. M Kayser. — KS

- RhinoplastyI found Image by Design on a few of these review sites and scheduled a consultation. I immediately felt comfortable with his staff, and the doctor himself; comfortable enough to cancel all my other consultations with other doctors, and to schedule my surgery with Image by Design. They are very thorough during consultation and in post-surgical follow-ups. I didn’t feel rushed or neglected as many doctors are prone to do. His staff is very patient and helpful when it comes to calling in with questions and/or advice post-surgery, as well. The results of my rhinoplasty, liposuction, and fat transfer are fantastic. I was so thrilled, I went ahead and scheduled my breast reduction and lift with him for next week. Five stars! Thanks, Dr. K, Denise, and the rest of the staff! — Jessica Holly, MI, Feb 06, 2011
- Breast ReconstructionThe use of fat in breast reconstruction after mastectomy is also becoming more utilized, not only as a supplement to expanders (temporary implants placed at the time of mastectomy to recreate the breast mound), but also for patients needing revisional surgery as well. But there’s more. Plastic surgeons now have the ability to make the entire breast mound itself from fat alone! The idea of creating an entire breast without the use of implants or even remote soft tissue flaps (skin transferred from other areas of the body) was practically science fiction just a few short years ago, but is now a reality, elevating breast reconstruction to a whole new level!

- BlepharoplastyI am just going to start out with saying how wonderful Dr. M Kayser and his staff is! From the moment that I walked into the door, I could tell that this was the place for me. The ladies in the office were friendly and supportive and answered my zillion questions without hesitation. When Dr. M Kayser walked into my room on the first visit, I was immediately put at ease. His demeanor was professional and friendly. He answered all my questions and gave his honest professional opinion. A few days later, I called to schedule my breast augmentation and lower blepharoplasty, and within three weeks I was having the procedures done! Doctor Kayser came to talk to me before the procedures with his surgical staff, and put me at ease. He sat down and talked to me and made sure that I still wanted to proceed and that what we discussed was what I still wanted. I then drifted off to sleep and woke up with new perky round full breasts, and the bags under my eyes GONE! To be honest, I still can’t get over how great my breasts look. They look better then I imagined! I remember that before I decided to have breast augmentation, I searched the internet and looked at 100’s of before and after photos and I even saved one that I thought look amazing. I opened up the picture the other day, and to my surprise mine look just as good, if not better! Thank you Doctor Kayser, you ROCK! — Anonymous Flint, MI
- AbdominoplastyA tummy tuck, clinically known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at creating a smooth and firm abdominal profile. It’s a popular choice among individuals who have excess sagging skin or fat, or weakened muscle in their abdominal region that diet and exercise have been unable to correct.

- Breast SurgeryAlthough breast implants are well accepted and have a long proven safety profile, some women wish to have them exchanged or simply removed for reasons related to the implants themselves or just be able to return to having their own natural breasts. However, after implant expansion, many patients may require further correction such as a mastopexy or even volume replacement using their own body fat. Whatever your situation may be, Dr. Rodriguez has years of experience in both cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery to restore your breast to the most natural results possible.

- Cosmetic SurgeryMost patients in my cosmetic surgery practice in MIchigan feel that enhancement surgery was less traumatic than they expected and many stop taking their narcotic pain medication a day or two after surgery. The procedure is out-patient, which means you can go home the same day. The incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches and sealed with glue on the outside so there are no sutures to remove and patients can shower the very next day. Patients wear a support garment for about 4-6 weeks, after which, there are no restrictions at all.
- Forehead LiftOver time or during normal aging the brow and forehead will change resulting in excess laxity, drooping, wrinkling and even elongation of the forehead itself, compelling patients to seek correction. Learn more about forehead lift surgery.
