Why consider combining procedures? There are scenarios that naturally favor this approach. For example, facial aging typically affects both the eyes and face by a certain age. Treating just one area may produce a disharmonious appearance. Therefore blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and facelifts are commonly done at the same time. Similarly, changes in both the breasts […]
Multiple Procedures: How Much Is Safe To Do At Once? Read More »
The vast majority of women have successful breast augmentation surgery and are pleased with their results for decades. However some women are tempted to have a second procedure to make a good result even better. In other instances a problem may exist or develops over time that warrants additional surgery. An important goal is to

Most individuals are best served by eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) alone to restore a youthful appearance to the upper eyelids. Browlifts add a layer of complexity to the process, as well as increased operating time and cost. However, browlifts significantly improve results when used in the right situations. Also, the recovery time is about the same

This case illustrates a technique that sadly is not taught anymore in training programs. It is a “scarless” technique that produces results that are stable for 20 years or more. Most silicone implants done by conventional means are done by 10-12 years and need replacement. Many, but not all, patients are candidates for this technique. Our practice offers this for those interested but we also do silicone implants either above or below the muscle, including Motiva implants, the current rage. We fit the technique to the patient, based on both their anatomy and preferences.
Special shout-out to Meghan (of “Sam and Meg” fame) for the elegant production of this post.

To be sure, “tummy tucks” are a challenging first week recovery. However, the results are enduring and it is one of the rare “one and done” procedures we do. They continue to look great decades later! The scars take years to fade but the trade is well worth it. BTW, traditional techniques here only. No muscle “etching”.

A deep plane facelift, meaning extensive SMAS mobilization with release of facial ligaments, was done here in conjunction with upper and lower eyelid surgery. The intent is to always produce a refreshed look devoid of surgical stigmata. The chin implant provides a subtle enhancement beyond restoration alone. Our patient, kind enough to let us share these images, is thrilled, and so are we!

Breast augmentation is conceptually simple but there are nuances that must be considered in order to get the best results. Chest wall “foundation” issues are not common but sometimes are quite subtle and easy to miss. There are other skeletal issues like scoliosis that can also be impactful by making the breast position look uneven if not taken into account.
For the surgeons: The description of implant characteristics was a bit murky in the video. To clarify, having the same implant diameter was important but at the same time more projection on the low side was needed. A Mentor Moderate 225 implant was selected for the “high” side and a 300 cc Moderate-Plus implant for the “low” side was chosen. Both have the same diameter. Saline was used so that the volumes could be fine tuned for closest symmetry (240 cc right, 350 cc left). Finally, a periareolar incision was chosen because precise siting of an inframammary incision beforehand would have been problematic.
