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.

Eyelid Surgery (Upper & Lower)
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure to remove fat, excess skin, and/or muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. This surgery reduces drooping in upper lids and puffiness below your eye. However, the procedure doesn't remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles or lift sagging eyebrows.

Neck Rejuvenation/Neck Lift

Neck rejuvenation surgery can provide dramatic results, especially when combined with other rejuvenating procedures.

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.

Submental/Under Jaw Neck Lift/The Weekend Neck Lift

Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty, also known as the tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure in which excess skin and fat is removed from the abdomen area causing the muscles in the abdomen to tighten. This procedure dramatically alters the appearance of the stomach, making it look smoother 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 to have more pregnancies or lose weight are urged to wait until after these events. Usually the after effects of the tummy tuck are long lasting if patients maintain a healthy weight and diet.

Weekend Facelift
The Weekend Lift is a variation on a 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.
