As our technology and techniques have advanced, we have expanded
what can do to sculpt your face, breast and body-rejevenate your skin. Fat grafting, injectable fillers, minimal
incision nasal, eyelid, breast and body procedures now allow us to sculpt areas not previously imagined.
Yet the artistic
eye and gentle touch are essential to obtaining the natural, enhanced appearance that makes plastic surgery such a gratifying
experience. With minimally invasive approaches, careful attention to local anesthesia and patient's emotional and intellectual
needs, pain and recuperation time have been dramatically decreased.
It is this combination of talent and science with an architectural
flair, our highly trained and compassionate office staff, a warm comfortable environment and state of the art facilities that
we are fortunate enough to offer our patients.
Hot Topic: Smart Lipo
Laser assisted liposuction is the most widely marketed new technique today.
The most exciting result may be the increase in collagen formation deep to the skin. Typically liposuction causes skin
tightening from new collagen formation extending from th fat to the skin. Smart Lipo delivers laser energy that liquifies
localized fat deposits, which are then aspirated. Claims of less down time, fewer side effects including less bleeding,
swelling and bruising may be born out as more experience is obtained with this technique. In my hands these side effects
have never been a significant issue. I am doubtful that the laser will decrease them to a magnitude great enough to
warrant charging much more for these procedures. As ultasonic liposuction has been abandoned by the majority of
plastic surgeons, it will be interesting to see the longevity of Smart Lipo.
