Botox
Botox is used to create overall facial
rejuvenation. The injections temporarily reduce the
appearance of lines, wrinkles, creases, crow's feet,
and the thick lines that can form on and around the
neck area. The toxin injections paralyze nerve
impulses thus causing the muscles that cause
wrinkles to flatten and become relaxed. The injections give
the face an overall smoother appearance and
patients look more refreshed. Some studies have also
found evidence that Botox can help relieve migraine
headaches, excessive sweating and muscle
contractions in the neck and eye areas.

Brachioplasty/ Arm Rejuvenation
The arm between the shoulder and the elbow is a common source of complaint. The arm loses definition with age and the skin can sag. Although weight loss is largely healthy, it can lead to the appearance of loose, non-elastic, sagging skin in the arms amongst other places. Muscular strengthening is of advantage but may not be able to tighten the skin or shape the arm as much as some would like.

Breast
Enlargement
Breast enlargement,
or augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure
to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. There
are several reasons patients choose to have a breast
enlargement:
- To enhance the
size of the breasts
- To correct a
reduction in breast volume after pregnancy
- To balance a
difference in asymmetry
- For
reconstruction following breast surgery

Breast Lift
Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure
that raises and reshapes sagging breasts for a time.
Pregnancy, nursing and gravity will, over time,
cause the breasts to sag, and no surgery can
permanently stop these forces. Breast lift surgery
can also reduce the size of the areola. If breasts
are small or have lost volume, implants can be used
in conjunction with the breast lift surgery to
increase firmness and size. If you're planning to
have children after the surgery, it is advised that
you wait to have the breast lift until afterwards,
since pregnancy and nursing can stretch the breasts
and reverse the effects of the surgery.

Breast Reduction
Breast
reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a
surgical operation used to help women with
unusually large, sagging breasts to achieve
smaller, firmer breasts that are more
proportionate to their bodies. Sometimes
larger breasts can cause certain
complications like neck and back pain,
skeletal deformities, skin irritations, and
indentations in the skin caused by bra
straps. Some women have a harder time doing
physical activities and are self-conscious. By
having a breast reduction these women will
be more comfortable and have a better
quality of life.

Ear Pinning
(Otoplasty)
Ear pinning or
otoplasty is a form of ear surgery performed
to set disproportionately large or prominent
ears closer to the head. Too much cartilage
in the concha, the bowl-shaped portion of
the ear and lack of development of the
natural folds of the ear (antihelix) are the
usual causes of large, protruding ears.
Protruding ears
cause more image problems than many real
medical problems. It is commonly sought for
children who often suffer from the unwanted
attention protruding ears can cause.
Children are excellent candidates because
their ear tissue is very flexible. Although
the procedure is more common among children,
almost anyone can achieve successful results
with ear pinning.

procedure doesn't remove crow's feet or
other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles or
lift sagging eyebrows.

aging in their neck.

dramatic results, especially when combined

Structural Fat
Grafting
Structural fat grafting is a natural way to
fill in creases and wrinkles, by a specific
method of obtaining fatty tissue for
grafting and re-implantation. The tissue is
obtained by gentle aspiration with
specialized instruments in an effort to
maintain the basic structure of the cells,
while keeping them alive and intact. The fat
cells are purified and then re-implanted
into areas that are deficient in soft tissue
volume. Small amounts of fat are injected in
layers to gradually build up new soft tissue
structures. The classic areas for fat
grafting are in the face, including laugh
lines and frown lines, upper and lower lips,
marionette lines, under the eyes and
occasionally, the eyelids and jaw line.
Another common area for fat grafting is the
back of the hands. Fat cells are placed into
an environment which allows for easy
reestablishment. Tissues on the face are
highly vascular, having a much better blood
supply than the rest of the body, allowing a
higher chance of successful grafting.

and flatter. Patients with fat deposits or loose
skin on the stomach that will not respond to diet
and exercise are ideal candidates. Women, who after
pregnancy, where the skin has been
stretched to a point where it will not go back to
normal are also ideal candidates. Patients who want

patients maintain a healthy weight and diet.

surgical technique developed in the early
1990s. This procedure tightens the skin in
the lower portion of the face and neck in a
minimally invasive way. The patient benefits
from impressive results similar to a
traditional lower facelift with a lower
likelihood of complications and a quicker
recovery. The Weekend Facelift is an
excellent procedure for men and women
experiencing the signs of aging; sagging
jowls and minor neck laxity in patients as
young as 40. Patients with more advanced
neck aging are better corrected with a more
extensive lower facelift for maximum
tightness and rejuvenation. The Weekend
Facelift is more affordable than a
traditional facelift and is an ideal
solution for the right patient.
