Procedures and techniques named

Breast augmentation: alone, with lift, or implant exchangeWhether you’re considering a breast augmentation , a breast augmentation with a lift , or a breast implant removal and exchange , we’re capable of providing the results you desire.
Breast lift: techniques with minimal scarringDr. James E. Murphy in Reno, NV, specializes in breast lift techniques with minimal scarring to help you achieve natural-looking results.
Breast reduction: outpatient, general anesthesia, reshapes for smaller sizeBreast reduction surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The goal is to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin while reshaping the breasts to create a smaller, lighter, and more proportionate appearance.
Breast reduction: includes lift, nipple stays attached for sensationA breast lift (mastopexy) is an essential part of breast reduction surgery because it guarantees that the final result is lifted and well-contoured in addition to being smaller in size. The nipple remains attached to its underlying structure to preserve sensation and function.
BBL: own-fat injections, virtually no scarring vs implantsWith the Brazilian butt lift procedure, our plastic surgeon uses your own fat to reshape your butt. The injections result in virtually no scarring, and the outcome is more attractive and natural-looking than implants.
SAFELipo and Smart lipo with vibrating cannulaDr. James E. Murphy can pair SAFELipo and Smart lipo with a vibrating cannula to break up fat cells and make them easier to remove. This causes less trauma to surrounding tissues, so you experience less bruising, swelling, and pain.
Liposuction: SAFELipo/Smart lipo avoid general anesthesiaSAFELipo and Smart lipo can be performed with local pain relief injections and mild anti-anxiety medications, eliminating the need for general anesthesia.
Liposuction: combined with facelift for chin/jawline/neck fatDr. James E. Murphy can combine different liposuction techniques with a traditional facelift to remove excess fat from under the chin, along the jawline, and around the neck. This improves overall facial definition and contributes to a more youthful appearance.
Gynecomastia: excision for skin or glandular tissueExcision is best suited to gynecomastia involving excess skin or glandular tissue. It can involve repositioning the nipple or reducing the size of the areola, if necessary.
Breast lift: mastopexy for perkier breastsDo you want perkier breasts? A breast lift (mastopexy) may be the best way to achieve the refinements you want.

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.
