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

jen — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:43:26 +0000

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!

A breast lift procedure, also known as Mastopexy, is a procedure in which the breasts are lifted to a higher, firmer, more youthful appearance. As we age our skin loses it’s elasticity which keeps things tight and smooth. There are also other factors such as pregnancy and nursing and weight loss which can contribute to drooping or sagging breasts. For women unhappy with the downward direction their breasts are heading in, a breast lift procedure may be the best option to achieve the results they desire.

During a breast lift procedure and incision is generally made around the areola and excess sagging skin is removed. Next, the areola may or may not be re-positioned to better suite the newly positioned breasts and the remaining skin is closed up around it. The areola itself may also be altered, as need, in size or shape. Scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is the first step in beginning the conversation about your breast lift options.
