Procedures and techniques named

True Form Tummy Tuck: avoids flat-as-a-board lookTummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) is performed on men and women to achieve a flatter and slimmer midsection. However, Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Chris Patronella was never satisfied with the artificial-looking, "flat-as-a-board" abdominal contours often created with traditional techniques.
Tummy tuck: restores weakened, separated musclesA tummy tuck is designed to remove loose, excess skin and stubborn fat from the abdominal area and restore weakened and separated muscles, creating a smoother and firmer abdominal profile.
Liposuction: ultrasonic, laser, power-assisted methods offeredWhile numerous methods of liposuction ( ultrasonic, laser, power assisted , etc.) are available today, there is no scientific evidence that one method is superior to another in terms of safety, recovery, or results.
Liposuction: complements waist, abdomen resultsTo complement the youthful appearance of their waist and abdomen, many patients request additional liposuction to improve other areas of the body that are resistant to reshaping through diet and exercise, including:
Breast augmentation: True Form approach, decades refinedHouston plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Patronella has perfected the art and science of sculpting soft, shapely feminine breasts through the True Form Breast Augmentation® approach he developed over two decades ago.
True Form Facelift: long-lasting, never artificial or overdoneDr. Patronella's True Form Facelift® provides long-lasting results that never appear artificial or overdone, so his patients can enjoy the firm, smooth, younger-looking face and neck they desire without looking overly stretched or pulled.
Facelift: combined with neck lift, fat graftingFace Lift, Neck Lift, Endoscopic Brow Lift, Fat Grafting (temples, nasolabial folds, cheeks, and "marionette lines"), Fraxel Skin Laser Treatment
Blepharoplasty: ideal candidate objectives evaluatedThose who wish to achieve one or more of the following cosmetic objectives may be an ideal candidate for blepharoplasty:
Blepharoplasty: outpatient, general anesthesia, upper or lowerBlepharoplasty is performed on an outpatient basis using general anesthesia and can target the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
Breast reduction: general anesthesia, anchor-shaped incisionBreast reduction is performed using general anesthesia. During this surgical procedure, an anchor-shaped incision will be made.

Before you book here

Verify three things yourself, whichever practice you choose: certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, or Royal College certification (FRCSC) in Canada; whether the operating facility is accredited or the surgeon holds hospital privileges for your exact procedure; and how many of that operation they perform each year. Our guide to choosing a plastic surgeon covers how to check each one.
