Procedures and techniques named

Rhinoplasty: closed technique, incisions inside nose onlyDuring a closed rhinoplasty procedure, the surgeon only makes incisions on the inside of the nose and doesn’t have a direct view of the nasal structures.
Blepharoplasty: upper, local anesthetic, natural crease incisionWomen and men who want upper blepharoplasty are typically concerned about excess eyelid skin causing multiple folds. After using a local anesthetic to numb the area, Dr. Ablavsky makes an incision in the eyelid’s natural crease and then surgically removes excess skin.
Blepharoplasty: lower, incisions below lash lineDr. Ablavasky may make lower blepharoplasty incisions just below the lash line to address excess skin.
Breast augmentation: implants or fat transferBreast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures in San Antonio, Texas, and throughout the U.S. and internationally. The procedure involves either inserting implants or using fat transferred from another area of your body to enhance the size and shape of the breasts.
Tummy tuck: mons pubis area raised and thinnedThe skin and fat above the vagina (mons pubis) often is a concern for women because it sags and gets larger - this area can be raised and made thinner during a tummy tuck.
Tummy tuck: full abdominoplasty repairs diastasis rectiDr. Ablavsky customizes tummy tuck surgery to meet your individual needs and cosmetic goals. The most common procedure is a full (standard) abdominoplasty, which also often repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).
Mini tummy tuck: candidates with minimal excess skinPatients whose concerns about excess skin and fat are limited to the area below the belly button are good candidates for a mini tummy tuck.
Breast reduction: excision combined with liposuctionIn some breast reduction procedures, Dr. Ablavsky may combine surgical excision of breast tissue with liposuction to remove excess fat in the area.
Breast reduction: non-physical work within a weekRecovery following breast reduction is similar to what occurs after a breast lift, with patients usually returning to non-physical work within a week of surgery.
Breast lift: horizontal incision along creaseThis is the traditional breast lift technique, which adds a horizontal incision along the breast crease to the incisions made for a lollipop lift.

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.
