Procedures and techniques named

• Blepharoplasty: upper, crease incisions, local with sedationUpper blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preference. Incisions are made in the natural crease of the upper eyelids and are then closed using fine sutures.
• Facelift: mini facelift lower third of faceA mini facelift is a less-invasive variation of the traditional facelift technique. It specifically focuses on aging issues in the lower third of the face, including sagging skin on the jawline, chin, and neck.
• Rhinoplasty: 1 to 3 hours, functional and aestheticThe duration of rhinoplasty surgery can vary, but it typically takes between 1 to 3 hours.
• Breast augmentation: implants not lifetime devicesPatients should also understand that breast implants are not lifetime devices. In many cases, implants may need to be replaced or revised over time
• Liposuction: not weight-loss, localized fatLiposuction is not a weight-loss solution; it is a method for removing localized fat that persists despite a stable weight.
• Tummy tuck: postpone if weight loss or pregnancy plannedIf you are planning on dramatic weight loss, or plan on becoming pregnant, it would make sense to postpone abdominoplasty, as weight loss or pregnancy can have adverse effects on the results of the Tummy Tuck.
