Salinas Arm Lift
We all have trouble areas- the parts of our bodies we would like to improve. For some people it’s the arms. Genetically we are predisposed to gain and hold on to weight in different areas and for some people this area is the arms. Using Liposuction and Brachioplasty (arm lift surgery) a person can finally achieve the results that diet and exercise failed to deliver.
That said, a healthy diet and exercise regime are an important part of a healthy lifestyle and should be maintained before and after the procedure to ensure the results continue. For some other people, diet and exercise alone or in combination with a bariatric surgery, are left with excess, sagging skin under the arm (and often other places as well) which a Brachioplasty can help to eliminate. For these patients a Brachioplasty may be performed as part of a Body Lift procedure to eliminate skin from several parts of the body.

Breast Lift – Salinas
Mastopexy, more commonly referred to as a Breast Lift, is a procedure to lift the breasts by removing excess, sagging skin. This lift helps to restore youth and even firmness to the breasts. With age and particularly after life experiences such as pregnancy and nursing or changes in weight, the breasts can begin to sag and can even lose mass. If you are unhappy with the current state of your breasts, you may be a good candidate for a Breast Lift procedure. If breast mass loss is also a concern, a combination Breast Lift/Breast Augmentation may be the best option.
The incision in a Breast Lift is generally made around the areola and then down vertically toward the crease of the breasts. The exactly incision route varies depending on the patient’s individual wants and needs. In nearly all cases the areola and nipple remain intact to their original nerve and blood supply as the skin around the areola is excised and often the areola is repositioned higher to correspond with the new position of the breasts. The next step, if you are considering a Breast Lift, is schedule a consultation. Contact our office today to schedule yours.

Salinas Blepharoplasty
People spend a great deal of time looking at our eyes. Our eyes express the majority of our emotions, whether we are speaking or not. Our eyelids are also one of the first places that we begin to show our age. Common signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines, puffy under-eyelids and sagging upper lids can all create an appearance of someone who is tired and rundown, whether or not this is actually the case.
If you are unhappy with the sagging, wrinkly appearance of your eyelids and would like to discuss your options for facial rejuvenation, contact our office to learn about Blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty, or Eyelid Lift surgery, is one of our many facial rejuvenation procedures and it is designed to create a more alert and youthful appearance around the eyes. It is often performed in conjunction with our other facial rejuvenation procedures. Contact us today to learn more!

Before and After Gallery – Salinas
Plastic Surgery is as much an art form as it is medical. A Plastic Surgeon must have the detailed, aesthetic eye of a sculptor. You wouldn’t hire someone to create a marble statue of you without first asking to see his work. In the same way, you shouldn’t hire a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon without first seeing his work either.
We’d like to invite you to view our comprehensive online Before and After Gallery where you will find examples or previous patients who’ve undergone various Breast, Face, Body, and Skin Care procedures. We believe our work truly speaks for itself, but just in case you’re having a hard time hearing what’s it’s saying, head on over to our Testimonials page for a word by word account from the patients themselves.
If you like what you see and would like to learn more about a particular procedure, contact our office! We look forward to assisting you on your journey and helping you reach your goals.
Abdominoplasty – Salinas
People who’ve recently undergone a significant weight loss, women who’ve had multiple pregnancies, as well as people who have a difficult time losing weight in their mid-section may be considering what alternative options they have and many make great candidates for Abdominoplasty.
Abdominoplasty, also known as Tummy Tuck, is a procedure in which the excess skin and fat in the mid-section is removed and the muscles of the abdomen are tightened. When the muscles of the abdomen become loose or separated, the abdomen sticks out, but once they have been sutured closer together, the abdomen lies flat. The remaining skin is then closed over the newly flattened abdominal muscles to create a more contoured, flattering mid-section.
Abdominoplasty may be done in conjunction with other procedures such as Liposuction, Breast Lift, or Thigh Lift. If you are ready to discuss your options for a mid-section improvement, contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation today!
Salinas BOTOX Injections
These days facial rejuvenation options are more numerous than ever. In years past men and women hoping to restore youth to their faces had but one option, the invasive surgical procedure Face Lift. Face Lifts are still the best option for people in more advanced stages of aging, but for people with minimal signs of aging or people who cannot afford the time, risk or costs of an invasive surgery, BOTOX Injections and other dermal fillers are often the best bet.

In the years since BOTOX has exploded on the market it has continued to grow in popularity. It’s easy to understand why. BOTOX takes just minutes to administer, has minimal side-effects and the results last 3-4 months. Often BOTOX injections may be done in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as another dermal filler like Restylane or an Eyelid Lift surgery. To find out if BOTOX injections may be the right answer for achieving a more youthful appearance for you, contact our office and schedule a consultation.
