In less than 1 hour you can take years off your face with Facial Rejuvenation!
Facial rejuvenation is generally performed on women and men who desire to improve the appearance of their face due to aging, weight loss or genetics. Facial fillers are used to add volume, restore shape or soften the appearance of the face and lips, while other injections (such as Botox or Dysport) can inhibit the movement of creases and lines.
Commonly treated areas are the forehead, brow region, between the eyes, and crows feet. Treatment is also used to soften the nasolabial folds around the mouth, and to add volume to the lips.
In many cases patients wish to combine facial fillers to have a more significant overall result in the appearance of their face.
Facial rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction by injection does not change yoru skin’s surface, it only relaxes the underlying muscles that cause the creases and wrinkles to appear. The actual treatment session can range from just a few minutes to 30-45 minutes depending on the level of correction that is desired. While some fillers offer immediate results, other injections may take a few days or up to a week ( depending on individual factors) before you will start to see the affects of your treatment.
If you are bothered by facial wrinkles, creases, furrows, or thin lips, facial rejuvenation by injection therapy may be right for you. The only way to know what is right for your own unique situation is to meet with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons who are skilled at injection therapy. At this appointment your surgeon will give carefully explain your recommended course of treatment, the results you can expect, how soon you can expect those results to appear, and how long you can expect those results to last.

Many women, and men, seek out cosmetic surgery to not only to increase their confidence in how their bodies look, but to also have the freedom to fit into the clothes they wish to wear.
While both of these procedures are designed to improve the body contour, they each address a specific issue. For many people, it is possible to do both a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction (of other areas) at the same time to give patients a more significant change in their over all body contour. The only way to know for sure what is right for you, is to get the opinion of one of our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons.
Liposuction (or Lipoplasty) is a procedure in which your surgeon sculpts your body by removing unwanted fat deposits in specific areas by the use of a cannula. Liposuction treats the subcutaneous fatty tissue which is above the muscle and below the skin, and it does not address stretched or loose skin. The location of your fat cells dictates your shape, as well as genetics and gender. Areas such as the “love handles” or “saddle bags” are regions that typically have fat fullness that just won’t go away regardless of what a patient does, there are even thin people who can have extra fat in these areas. Liposuction works best on the areas that do not respond to diet and exercise.
A Tummy Tuck (or Abdominoplasty) is used to treat excess abdominal skin, a saggy tummy, or the buldging of your abdomen. A Tummy Tuck is an excellent operation for women (or men) who have loose skin above and below the belly button that does not go away.
There are different types of Tummy Tucks, and in general a Tummy Tuck contours your abdomen by reparing the muscle wall by bringing it back together, and removing the loose, stretched skin. Your abdominal muscles can become lax through pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or inactivity to the point where they will no longer contract. The incisions for this procedure can be significant, but they do hide in most styles of underwear and bathing suits. If your skin laxity and muscle weakness problems are limited to the area below the belly button, you may be a good candidate for a mini or lower Tummy Tuck. This is a smaller operation than a standard tummy tuck, with a shorter scar and your belly button is not moved.
Without an evaluation by a plastic surgeon it can be hard to decide which procedure might be right for you. If you have ever felt embarassed by your body, or frustrated that you can’t fit into your clothes the way you would like, then now is the time to take advantage of our complimentary consultations and get the opinion of an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon.
When you are considering Breast Augmentation, you are faced with two choices for which type of implant you can have, Saline or Silicone.
For many years, both types of implants have been used to enlarge the breasts of millions of women, but throughout time, Silicone gel-filled implants have been subject to not only unfavorable media attention, but subject to thorough and detailed testing by the FDA.
In 1992, the FDA called for Silicone gel-filled implants to be removed from the marketplace to undergo one of the largest studies conducted in the world. After 13 years of being off the market, the FDA then approved them in 2006 for the use of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. The silicone gel implants that were approved by the FDA in 2006 contain the same silicone breast implant material as those that, prior to this approval, were available to patients who participated in this study.
Here are some facts about Silicone:
Silicone can be found in many common consumer items such as chewing gum, nail polish, lotions, soaps and processed foods.
Silicone implants are SAFE. The national Cancer institue declares that there is no significant increase in breast cancer among women with silicone gel-filled implants.
Silicone has been used in hundreds of thousands of medical devices for over 50 years. The same shell is used for saline or silicone gel-filled implants, it is what is inside that is different.
There is “No evidence for health concerns” as stated by the Department of Health, and U.S. Government.
Silicone gel-filled implants feel more like your own breast tissue without compromising safety and reliability. The gel filler holds together uniformly and looks and feels like natural breast tissue.
The implants have a set fill volume for predictable results.
Mentor’s Silicone gel-filled implants also have warranties that are comparible to that of the Saline filled implants.
The best way to find out what implant is right for you, is to have a consultation and get the opinion of one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. How a woman feels about her body has a lot to do with her over all self-confidence.
Many women chose to have Breast Augmentation to increase their confidence, look better in clothes and gain the breast size that they feel is right for them.
