Breast Lift With Implants

The breasts undergo changes in response to factors such as genetics, aging, pregnancy and breast feeding, weight gain or loss, and hormonal fluctuations. All of these factors can cause the breast size and shape to change. These changes can be dissatisfying and can make women feel as if they are losing some of their femininity and youthful vitality. Breast augmentation alone cannot restore the shape of the breasts. For those women who would like to increase the size of their breasts as well as restore a firm, more upright position, a breast augmentation in combination with a breast lift can improve body contours and revitalize their appearance.

Mid Facelift

There are several different types of facelift—each specialized to treat different regions of the face. For example, the mid facelift is usually performed to rejuvenate the middle portion of the face. Age-related changes in the upper and lower region of the face are usually corrected with a forehead lift and lower facelift, respectively. In addition, sagging and puffy eyelids can be addressed with eyelid surgery. During a mid facelift, the underlying tissues are tightened, and fat pads that give the face shape and volume are shifted upward to restore a firmer, more youthful appearance. It is important to realize that a mid facelift cannot correct loose skin in the neck or along the jaw line, nor can it address fine lines or uneven skin tone and texture. Dr. Gabriel will help you determine which procedure is best for you, and whether an additional procedure such as eyelid surgery or skin resurfacing would produce more global facial rejuvenation.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A partial tummy tuck works by removing loose skin, fat deposits, and stretch marks from the lower abdominal region below the navel. In addition, vertical abdominal muscles that have stretched and weakened over time are tightened, restoring the appearance of a firmer, flatter abdomen. Tummy tuck procedures can be performed alone, but are often performed with liposuction to further improve body contours. A tummy tuck should not be considered as a treatment for obesity, or a substitute for proper diet and exercise. Individuals considering a tummy tuck procedure should be healthy and relatively fit. Future pregnancies and substantial changes in body weight following a tummy tuck procedure, as well as the presence of scars from prior surgical procedures may decrease the effectiveness and longevity of treatment.

Hyaluronic Injections

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring complex sugar molecule that forms large matrices in the connective tissue of the body, such as skin and cartilage. Much like a sponge, its primary function is to bind and absorb water molecules, which creates volume in the face. Hyaluronic acid fillers are generally used to treat facial wrinkles and folds and to enhance the appearance of the lips. One of the fastest growing dermal filler treatments available, hyaluronic acid fillers work by replacing the hyaluronic acid in the body that has depleted over time, which restores the volume beneath the skin’s surface.
