In today's society, appearance means more than it ever has. If you are unsatisfied with the appearance of your face, don't worry; procedures are available to help reduce wrinkles, reshape your nose, and enhance your profile.

As with most cosmetic surgical procedures, complications are unlikely when performed by a skilled and competent surgeon.

For many women, the size, shape, and contour of their breasts do not fit their self-image. Women with unusually large, sagging, or uneven breasts are dissatisfied with their physical appearance. Some experience pain and discomfort due to the weight of their breasts and the pressure of bra straps on their shoulders and neck.

How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon

In the quest to improve and enhance one's physical features, and to look younger and feel better, millions of people are turning to aesthetic plastic surgery. Advancing techniques and clever advertising that promises to make dreams come true can entice countless patients to the operating table.

Abdominoplasty or "Tummy Tuck" is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the abdomen, as well as tighten the underlying musculature. An abdominoplasty will tighten stretched, wrinkled skin, creating a firmer, flatter abdomen and narrower waistline.

Liposuction is a procedure that removes stubborn pockets of fat and brings contour and youthfulness to many areas of the body and face.

Many men and women are dissatisfied with the size, shape and contour of their buttocks. Underprojected, flat and/or sagging buttocks do not fit their ideal self-image. Body-image is an important part of feeling good, desirable and confident.

"Scarless" breast reduction is yet another modality selected to reduce breast size with virtually no visible scars. Standard breast reduction techniques can produce dramatic changes in size and shape; however, there are usually obvious and noticeable scars.

Abdominoplasty generally takes between two and three, hours plus additional time for liposculpture, if performed. The line of incision and areas for liposculpture are outlined.

During the initial consultation, it is important to review the patient's medical history, goals, and expectations, as well as build mutual trust and rapport. Numerous before and after photos of breast lifts are reviewed.
