• Refining the face and neck – Surgery can improve the “sags, bags, and bulges” that accompany the aging process. Surgery also may be used to re-sculpt features you were born with, in order to provide a more pleasing and proportioned face.
• Face, eyelid, and brow lifts – A variety of techniques may be used to achieve a natural look, including minimally invasive endoscopic surgery.
• Chin augmentation and reduction – Surgery can build up a small chin or modify a prominent chin.
• Facial liposuction – This is a popular procedure for removing fat deposits within the chin, neck, cheeks or jowls.
• Neck lifts – Contouring of the aging neck can be improved with liposculpture or surgical lifting.
• Lip enhancement/augmentation – These procedures improve the appearance of thinning lips by adding definition.
• Rhinoplasty – The nose is re-sculpted to obtain a more proportioned look, or to correct after trauma.
• Otoplasty – This procedure surgically corrects protruding or misshapen ears to bring them closer to the head or change their shape.
• Body contouring – This is a means of re-shaping the effects of nature or time. With the advent of minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as endoscopy and small cannula liposuction, contouring surgeries are now less invasive and more effective.
• Abdominoplasty – A variety of procedures are available to recontour the abdomen, including
  standard and modified tucks, with or without liposuction.
• Liposuction – This procedure removes “stubborn” pockets of fat from difficult figure areas, including the hips, thighs, buttocks and knees.
• Breast augmentation (mammoplasty) – Patients who have small breasts or have lost volume due to pregnancy can increase the size and improve (change/alter) the shape of their breasts with FDA-approved implants. Endoscopic insertion of implants also may be used in some cases.
• Breast lift (mastopexy) – The sagging breast can be surgically lifted, with or without the use of implants, to create a more youthful-looking bustline.
• Breast reduction – Women who have large breasts may experience a number of health related problems. Surgical reduction may increase comfort and mobility.
• Skin care programs – Alpha-hydroxy acids, Retin-A or other skin products as well as facials may be used to improve texture and tone.
• Chemical peel – This procedure rejuvenates the complexion through the use of different chemical solutions applied in varying strengths. Peels are useful for improving fine wrinkling, blotchy skin or precancerous lesions caused by sun exposure.
• Facial laser resurfacing – With the development of the ultrapulsed, high-energy carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, many signs of aging can be reduced significantly. This minimally invasive procedure is useful for reducing deeper facial, eye and forehead creases.
• Microdermabrasion – The treatment involves directing very fine crystals onto the skin to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells.
• Dermal fillers – These are used in the management of fine to moderate wrinkles, acne scars and superficial skin defects. The fillers include one’s own fat, Collagen, or Restylane.
• Botox – This is used for a variety of conditions including treatment of frown lines, “crows feet” and forehead wrinkles caused by facial expressions such as frowning, squinting or even laughing.
