Someone who desires browlift surgery may have noticed the effects of aging, changes in skin elasticity and sagging, exposure to sunlight and the elements, and the stresses inherent in life all taking a toll on a person's face. The facial muscles and other tissues begin to droop slowly, causing the face to look tired or sad. These changes can affect an individual's confidence, self esteem and self image, leading them to have a browlift surgery procedure.

A brow lift surgery procedure can help restore a youthful look to the face. The changes to a person's face brought on by the effects of aging, exposure to the elements and stress are virtually undone to restore a person's face. A Plastic surgeon accomplishes this by removing a portion of skin and tightening the muscles and other tissues that are causing the skin to droop. This surgical procedure not only helps to restore the physical appearance of the patient, but it also restores self-confidence, self esteem and improves the patient's self image.

Browlift surgery is a very individualized procedure. Your goals and expectations of the results should be realistically determined and discussed with your surgeon. Together you will determine what specific procedures will need to be performed. A brow lift procedure is often performed along with other procedures such as a face lift, nose job, or eye surgery.

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that helps to sculpt the body by removing excess fat from specific areas of the body. Through a small incision, a slim tube is inserted through the incision to remove the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin. The cannula is then inserted and moved through the fat layer, breaking up the fat cells and suctioning them through a vacuum pump or a large syringe. Liposuction surgery is not a substitute for dieting and exercise, but it can help with the stubborn areas of fat that do not seemt o be affected by normal weight loss methods.
Good candidates for a liposuction procedure are people who are within 30% of their ideal weight and have firm, elastic skin with pockets of excess fat in certain areas. You should be realistic about your expectations and in good physical and mental health. Individuals with certain medical conditions may not be suitable candidates for liposuction surgery - check with your plastic surgeon if you have such a medical condition.

La cirugía de los párpados, o blefaroplastia, corrige párpados caidos, así como bolsas y bultos alrededor de los ojos. Estas condiciones ser desarrollan como resultado de relajamiento de la piel del párpado y acumulación de la grasa alrededor de los ojos. No se limita a pacientes de mayor edad, como muchos individuos heredan una predisposición hacia el desarrollo de bolsas grasosas en una edad temprana. Debido a ello, la corrección quirúrgica es apropiada para todos grupos de edad.
Siguiendo las líneas naturales de sus párpados, el cirujano hace incisiones que utilizan un escalpelo o un láser . El exceso de la piel entonces puede ser removida por la extirpación tradicional o por el láser; la grasa no esencial se quita precisamente (para evitar un futuro aspecto "hueco" a medida que el paciente incrementa en edad). Las suturas finas se utilizan para cerrar los incisiones (y puede ser removido en dos a siete días). Asegurese de consultar con un cirujano plastico antes de someterse a la cirujia de parpados.

Your eyes can be the first place to show the signs of aging. This is because the skin in the eyelids is quite thin and subject to the stress and strain of the daily routine. For some, this results in always having a tired or unhappy look. Others will see fattiness or bags in the lower lids that are inherited and are visible at a young age.

With our advanced techniques, including eyelid lifts and eyelid rejuvenation or blepharoplasty, most people will not realize that you've had eyelid surgery. What people will notice is that you appear younger and more vibrant. No one procedure or technique can address all concerns. Depending on the nature of the problem, lower eyelid surgery can be done using a scarless approach, which addresses the excess fat or heaviness in the lower lid. It can also be tailored to improve eyelid support and reduce skin excess.

You may be a candidate for thigh lift surgery if you have experienced a loss of skin elasticity of the thigh, hip, or buttock areas. You may also desire this procedure if your skin in the thigh area is saggy, has an orange peel, flabby and/or dimpled appearance. The thigh lift surgery procedure may also be indicated if your thigh appearance improves dramatically when you lift the lax skin. If you are self-conscious about your lower body appearance you may also want to look into this procedure. The procedure is intended to produce tighter, more attractive thigh and buttock skin with improved contours. It is also intended to decrease irregularities in skin surface.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis unless otherwise advised by the surgeon. Wide variations in the design of the incisions to meet clothing or personal desires are possible. Lifting the inner thighs requires only short incisions extending from the anterior part of the thigh/groin crease around to the buttock crease. Lateral or anterior thigh lifts can be performed as separate procedures if desired. The buttocks can be lifted with upper or lower scars. The plastic surgeon will show you what specific procedures are available to solve your particular problem.

While there are usually only minimal risks or complications when a facelift is performed by a skilled and experienced cosmetic surgeon, it is important that you follow the surgeon's instruction closely in order to minimize the chance of any possible risk factors. A condition called Hematoma C, a collection of blood under the skin, can possibly occur with a surgical procedure and, must be removed by your surgeon. The nerves that control muscles in your face can possibly be injured; however, research has shown that any damage is usually temporary. As with any plastic surgery procedure, infection of the surgery site is a possibility, and some patients reported a negative reaction to the use of anesthesia. For those patients that smoke, nicotine effects blood circulation, and therefore,  a longer recovery period is required.

When you consult with your surgeon, your face, skin, and underlying bone structure will be evaluated. Also, your medical history will be reviewed in order to check for potential surgery-related issues, including high blood pressure, potential blood clotting, or if your skin shows a tendency to form large, excessive scars. During your consultation, it is also recommended that you discuss both your expectations and your goals with your surgeon in order to ensure the best possibility for your desired, results.

The abdominoplasty procedure is an operation which is performed to eliminate excess fatty tissue and skin folds in the mid to lower abdominal region. Often, women who have experienced multiple pregnancies have an excess amount of skin in this region as a result of abdominal swelling during pregnancy. During this procedure, the surgeon raises abdominal skin and tissue, stretching it downward and removing the excess with a closure within what is referred to as a “bikini line.” Repair of muscular structures is done at the same time. Often, the procedure involves repositioning the navel to a higher level. To enhance the result, liposuction of the hips and abdomen is often performed.

The procedure begins with the plastic surgeon making an incision that goes from hip to hip along the lower pubic area, made in an area that will allow the resulting scar from the procedure to be hidden under a bathing suit or underwear. The surgeon will then lift the loose skin from the abdominal wall, at which point the loosened “rectus” muscles that normally give the abdomen its strength are tightened and repaired. This provides essentially the same effect of an old-fashioned girdle.

The belly button, or “umbilicus,” will be disconnected from the abdomen. The loose skin will be removed, the abdominal wall will be tightened, the thighs and buttocks will be tightened, and the belly button will be reattached. Drains will be used on each side of the abdominal incision in order to remove excess fluid and prevent buildup after the procedure.

In the abdominoplasty, postoperative scarring is significant and may take from six months to a year for resolution; it will never disappear completely. Most often abdominoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Routine activity can be resumed within ten days, but sports and exercising are prohibited for six weeks to allow the muscle to heal properly.

In most cases, Dermal filler appointments will take about an hour. Most of this time will be with a numbing agent gradually numbing the skin. Sometimes when extensive lip treatments are being performed, we will opt to give a small, nearly painless, numbing injection to deaden the sensitive lip tissue prior to administering the dermal filler. In this case, your lip will remain numb for up to an hour following the session.

During the actual treatment you should be very comfortable, feeling only some mild pin pricks or stinging. Most patients are impressed at the ease of these treatments. If you are experiencing significant discomfort during the session please advise the plastic surgeon as there are often other remedies to ease any pain you might be feeling.

After the session a small amount of swelling and redness in the treated area is normal and to be expected. Typically the majority of this reactivity will be gone within several hours but on occasion can persist for several days. Bruising can occur. If you are susceptible to bruising or on blood thinners, please let your provider know prior to the treatment so extra precautions or recommendations can be made. Bruising will not affect the end result but can take up to 10 days to resolve when significant.
