Liposuction (Lipoplasty / Suction Lipectomy)
One of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms that have not responded to diet and exercise. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used, and the procedure can last anywhere from one to five hours depending on the amount of fat being removed. There are several different methods surgeons use when performing liposuction, including tumescent liposuction, the super-wet technique, and ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL). In all types a tiny incision is made in as inconspicuous a place as possible; a cannula (small tube) then breaks up the fat layer and suctions it out.

Hair Restoration
The only known method for the permanent restoration of natural hair is to use your own permanently growing hair - the hair now growing on the sides and back of your head is genetically programmed to grow for a lifetime and is the ideal donor. Hair transplantation is a permanent solution that requires no special maintenance. Once your transplanted hair grows out, it can be treated just as you did your original hair - cut it, comb it, wash it, style it any way you like - because it is your own natural growing hair and will continue to grow for your lifetime.
Hair transplantation is the process of obtaining hair-bearing grafts from the donor fringe and relocating or transplanting them into the balding areas. Improved harvesting methods and the introduction of smaller grafts have afforded tremendous flexibility in distributing natural hair more evenly over balding areas. These smaller grafts are often referred to as mini-grafts, micro-grafts and single hair follicle grafts.

Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
Although rarely discussed, enlarged male breasts is a common condition. Gynecomastia affects approximately 40 to 60 percent of men. There is no known cause for gynecomastia, although there has been some correlation with various drugs or medical conditions.
Men who feel self-conscious about their appearance are helped with breast-reduction surgery. The procedure removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a contoured chest that is flatter and firmer.

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
In time, gravity, sun exposure, and the stresses of daily life take their toll on our faces: deep creases appear beside the mouth, the jawline slackens, and folds and fat deposits appear on the neck. Facelifts counteract these problems by removing fat and tightening skin and muscles, giving your face a fresher, youthful look. After surgery, some patients appear 10-15 years younger.
The procedure can be combined with a browlift, eyelid surgery or nose reshaping for more dramatic results, or it can be restricted to the neck (necklift) if the patient's problems center there. Incisions are made in inconspicuous places such as behind the hairline and in natural folds of the face and ears, and scars fade to near invisibility in time. Results of a facelift do not last forever, but in another sense, the effects are permanent; years later, your face will continue to look better than if you had never had the procedure.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
By removing excess fat, skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids, blepharoplasty can rejuvenate puffy, sagging or tired-looking eyes. It is typically a cosmetic procedure but can also improve vision by lifting droopy eyelids out of the patient's field of vision. The procedure is usually performed in an office with local anesthesia and lasts as little as 45 minutes. Blepharoplasty cannot be used to raise the eyebrows or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crow's feet or dark circles under the eyes, but browlift and BOTOX® treatments can achieve these results.
