Description of procedures offered:

BREAST

-Breast Augmentation-

A breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances breast volume and fullness to improve a woman’s appearance.

-Breast Lift-

* A mastopexy, or full breast lift, is a surgical procedure that contours and repositions the breasts, resulting in a more proportional, aesthetically pleasing look.

* A circumareolar mastopexy (Benelli) is a more minimal breast lift that limits scarring.

-Breast Reduction-

A breast reduction is a surgical procedure that decreases breast size and fullness by removing excess skin, fat and breast tissue, resulting in smaller, more proportional breasts.

TUMMY TUCK

An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and unwanted fat from the middle and lower abdomen. The abdominal muscles are also tightened, resulting in a flatter, smoother and firmer abdomen.

LIPOSUCTION

Liposuction, or lipoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, back, thighs or neck using a specialized suction device. The procedure is designed to subtly improve trouble areas, that don’t respond well to diet and exercise. Oftentimes, liposuction may be done in conjunction with other cosmetic surgeries.

FACE

-Botox® & Fillers-

Botox ®, Prevelle Silk™, Restylane™ - A nonsurgical way to smooth frown lines (All Approved by the FDA) and performed by Dr. Burgess in our office.

-Facelift-

A rhytidectomy, or facelift, is a major surgical procedure done to remove the visible signs of aging in the face. The procedure is designed to help correct sagging skin around the face, deep facial creases and displaced fat that may make you appear tired or sad looking. Often times a facelift may be done in conjunction with a neck lift, which helps to tighten the skin and deeper tissues of the neck.

-Facial Micro Fat Grafting-

Facial fat grafting is a procedure that involves harvesting fat from the abdominal area and depositing into facial creases and lines. This procedure may also be done to add subtle volume to the cheeks. The facial lines appear smoother and softer, while the cheek area will have a more full, youthful appearance.

-Forehead Lift-

A forehead lift, or browlift, is a surgical procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes. The procedure is designed to correct drooping brows and improve the horizontal lines and furrows that can make a person appear sad, tired or mad. Often times a forehead lift may be performed in conjunction with a facelift or eyelid surgery.

-Eyelid Surgery-

A blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a major surgical procedure done to correct the visible signs of aging around the eyes. This surgery can improve the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both, by removing excess skin and fat. A blepharoplasty may improve eyelid puffiness and eliminates sagging or excessive skin, resulting in a more rejuvenated, rested appearance. Often times a blepharoplasty may be done in conjunction with a facelift, brow lift or medial-cheek suspension.
