Cutting Edge Surgical Procedures
1. Endoscopic Breast Augmentation
During this procedure a small incision is made in the armpit and the implant is placed underneath the chest muscle. The main advantage is that it avoids a scar on the breast and hides very well in the armpit region. The length of surgery as well as the recovery is comparable to the standard augmentation procedure.
2. Endoscopic browlift
This procedure has several advantages to the open browlift technique and it has become my technique of choice for brow lifting. The main advantage is that it avoids a very long scar at the top of the head in the hairline from ear to ear. In this operation four short incisions are made and the scalp is shifted posteriorly to raise the brows without removal of any skin. In this way, the operative time as well as potential for bleeding is greatly reduced. The recovery appears to be somewhat faster than the open technique. Overall there are fewer complications to this procedure then the open approach. Patients who are not candidates for the procedure are those with very tall foreheads.
3. Pain pump
This device has been in use by myself for approximately the last four years. I use it for every breast augmentation as well as every abdominoplasty. I've found that it greatly reduces postoperative pain in the patient. Patients usually still require some narcotic pain pills, although they state that their pain has been greatly reduced with the use of this pump. This device has enough medicine to last for four days after surgery. It is very easy to use and is easily removed by the patients at home. My philosophy is: why have pain when it can be nearly totally removed?
4. Fat injections
This is a way to add volume to any part of the body including the face. It is ideally suited to fill in small areas of depression such as the laugh lines or lips. The main advantage to this procedure is that no foreign substances are used and once the fat cells take, they last a lifetime. In this way it avoids the need to come back to receive filler injections every several months.
5. HydraFacial™ - Non-surgical facial rejuvenation
HydraFacial™ is a new serum-based skin resurfacing technique used to hydrate and exfoliate your skin. Made for all skin types, HydraFacial™ targets fine lines, wrinkles, acne-prone or oily skin, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, brown spots and more. With this new resurfacing technology, you will experience immediate results with minimal discomfort.
6. Sculptra™
Sculptra™ is an FDA-approved product to treat lipoatrophy, or facial fat loss. Oftentimes, lipoatrophy can result in indentations, hollow eyes, and sunken cheeks. Sculptra is injected below the surface of the skin and works over time to restore fullness within the first few treatment sessions.
7. VelaShape
VelaShape is an FDA-cleared medical device for body reshaping and cellulite treatment. This technique works with your deeper tissue along with the upper layers of your skin to experience a measurable reduction in fat layers, circumference and appearance of cellulite.
