Cosmetic Surgeries
Abdominoplasty - a.k.a. Tummy Tuck, removes excess abdominal fat and skin with surgical tightening of abdominal muscles; gives the abdomen a flat and firm look and can narrow the waist.
Blepharoplasty - removes excess upper and / or lower eyelid skin and fat. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is considered reconstructive if vision is impaired.
Breast augmentation - involves insertion of implants to increase breast size It can also correct minor breast sagging and breast asymmetry
Breast lift - similar to breast reduction but primarily involves removal of excess breast skin: The nipple is often brought up to a normal position, changing breast shape but not size.
Brow lift - corrects changes caused by time including forehead lines, drooping eyebrows and upper eyelids, and frown lines. These facial characteristics make people appear tired and older than they really are.
Cheek implant - creates a more better defined cheek line and gives the midface more definition. It involves surgically inserting an implant into the cheekbone area.
Chemical peel improves wrinkled, scarred, or blemished facial skin by applying a chemical solution to peel away top layers of skin; old skin will be replaced during the healing process with a fresh, new skin surface.
Chin implant - a profile - enhancing procedure done in one of two ways: through an implant placed into the chin, or through chin bone surgery to reshape the bone itself. The result can be a stronger, firmer chin.
Dermabrasion - a sanding procedure used to remove wrinkles, acne or a scar. Skin irregularities are smoothed down, allowing the areas to blend in with the rest of the face.
Face lift - involves both the face and neck. Tissues in the face are tightened, including loose skin and muscles, and fat bulges in the neck are removed.
Laser resurfacing - CO2 facial resurfacing rejuvenates sun damaged skin and treats fine wrinkles.
Lip augmentation - surgery to enhance the size of the upper or lower lips.
Liposuction - involves the removal of isolated collections of fat from the thighs, abdomen, hips, arms,knees, calves, neck, and under the chin. The procedure is done through small incisions and is generally applied to areas that are not affected by dieting or excercise.
Otoplasty (ear) - sets back disproportionately large or prominent ears closer to the head; involves reshaping the cartilage and / or repositioning the ear inward. Plastic surgery can also help children who, because of a birth defect, need a new ear or need to have one reconstructed.
