Plastic Surgery

• A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of the breast and restore the skin’s elasticity.
• Although no surgery can permanently delay or reverse the effects of gravity or aging, a breast lift can significantly improve the size and appearance of your breasts.
• A breast lift creates a more rounded breast shape to improve your natural breast size using breast implants or removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue.
• Whether due to pregnancy, nursing, weight loss or aging, our surgeons are experts in breast lifts that improve the firmness and appearance of your breasts while also enhancing your self-confidence.

Breast reconstruction is a type of surgery for women who have had a breast removed (such as from a mastectomy). The surgery rebuilds the breast mound so that it is about the same size and shape as it was before. The nipple and areola can also be added. Women who have had only the part of the breast around cancer removed (lumpectomy) may not need reconstruction.

Gynecomastia, or enlarged breast tissue in men, can occur at any age. This condition may be hereditary or may be the result of hormonal changes, certain drug therapy, obesity, or medical conditions. Gynecomastia surgery removes fat and/or glandular tissues from the breasts, resulting in a flatter, firmer and more well-contoured chest.

Some women are born with nipples that don't protrude and instead are inverted. Cleft nipples may also result after breastfeeding. Correction involves restoring contour, projection, and symmetry to balance the appearance of a woman's breasts.

The goal of transfeminine top surgery is to enhance the size and shape of the breasts to create a more feminine appearance to the chest. There are a variety of techniques used to perform top surgery, and many factors should be taken into consideration when choosing which technique is best:

• Placement of the incisions
• Type of implant used

The goal of transmasculine top surgery is to remove the breast tissue (mastectomy) from both breasts and create a masculine appearance to the chest. There are a variety of techniques used to perform top surgery, and many factors should be taken into consideration when choosing which technique is best:

• Amount of breast tissue
• Amount of excess skin
• Desire for nipple sensation

Some patients need their breast implants removed or replaced, for medical reasons or personal choice.

Dupuytren’s contracture is a disabling hand disorder in which thick, scar-like tissue bands form within the palm and may extend into the fingers. It can cause restricted movement by bending the fingers into an abnormal position.

Ganglion cysts are noncancerous lumps that most commonly develop along the tendons or joints of your wrists or hands, and occasionally in the ankles and feet. They can be painful if they press on a nearby nerve and their location can sometimes interfere with joint movement. Our expert treatment can help improve movement and function and remove discomfort caused by cysts.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a disabling disease that can cause severe inflammation in the joints of the body that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity. In the hand, it can deform fingers and impair movement. An autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body's tissues.

Trigger finger occurs when inflammation narrows the space within the sheath that surrounds the tendon in the affected finger. If trigger finger is severe, your finger may become locked in a bent position. People whose work or hobbies require repetitive gripping actions are at higher risk of developing trigger finger. The condition is also more common in women and in anyone with diabetes. We provide quick, effective treatment to help relieve pain and discomfort in the fingers and tendons.

We treat fractures of the hand as well as nerve and tendon injuries. The goal with injuries to the hand is a rapid and accurate initial evaluation and treatment. In other words, once an injury occurs, the doctor strives to begin medical treatment quickly so the short- and long-term effects on the hand can be minimized. Our expert surgeons have years of experience and are specialty-trained to treat a range of hand and wrist injuries and conditions.

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear. It can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth, or it can treat misshapen ears caused by injury.

A brow/forehead lift improves the look of drooping brows as well as furrows that can make a person appear tired, sad or even angry. A brow lift is often combined with an eye lift or blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the upper third of the face.

A chin or neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck.

• A facelift, or rhytidectomy, lifts the underlying tissue of the face, elevates and reshapes fat pads, and removes redundant skin. A facelift will mainly rejuvenate the lower third of the face, so certain other procedures, such as Botox or an eye or neck lift can be performed at the same time to rejuvenate the rest of the face for a balanced look.
• All incisions are hidden and camouflaged in folds along the ears and hairline to prevent hair loss, scarring, or a ‘pulled’ look. Our goal is to make our patients look rested, relaxed, and youthful in a natural way.

Injectable materials like collagen or Juvederm™ are temporary fillers injected into the face to fill out wrinkles or plump up lips. They can also correct contour irregularities or scars.

If you would like to improve the appearance of prominent or large ears or repair torn earlobes, ear surgery or otoplasty can restore normal contour to the ear. Surgeries are done on children typically before they reach school of age 4-6, as the ears stop growing by age four, but it is also possible to perform the surgery on adults.

Buttock augmentation is used to improve the contour, size and/or shape of the buttocks. A buttock lift improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports skin and fat in the buttock area.

• Rhinoplasty, also referred to as a “nose job,” alters the shape and improves the function of the nose.
• Whether you’re interested in rhinoplasty for cosmetic or functional reasons, the type of surgery to be performed is a result of an in-depth discussion between you and your surgeon.
• Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure where incisions are made in the nostril to make adjustments to the nasal structure.
• As physicians trained in both aesthetic and nasal surgery, we understand the unique cosmetic and functional issues of the nose to create the individual result you want.
