PLASTIC SURGEON
RECOMMENDED
I highly recommend the new, cutting-edge procedures that are done under a local anesthetic—like Smartlipo, Cellulaze and laser resurfacing. These procedures can create a much more shapely, streamlined body with smoother, healthier appearing skin without the down time of traditional body contouring procedures. What’s even better, perhaps, is how effective these procedures are at improving areas of the body that are highly resistant to diet and exercise alone. Smartlipo is uniquely adept at removing stubborn “pockets” of fat from areas such as the lower belly, hips, thighs and upper arms. Cellulaze targets cellulite to improve skin tone in a way that working out and eating right never will be able to achieve. Finally, laser resurfacing will improve the texture and tone of the skin of your face, neck and chest and give you a healthy glow. Because there is very little recovery time, these are wonderful options for people with busy families and careers who want a jump-start to a new and improved look—even in time for summer.
WHAT’S ONE TREND THAT IS DEFINING YOUR SPECIALTY TODAY?
WHAT’S MOST REWARDING ABOUT YOUR WORK?
“There is a wonderful trend toward less invasive procedures—using local anesthesia—that have quick recovery times and yield beautiful results. In comparison to traditional procedures, these new ones are quicker, safer and more cost-effective and still manage to produce dramatic improvements in your overall appearance.”
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR STYLE AND TECHNIQUE?
“Making a real difference in people’s daily lives. There is real truth that when you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good, you are more likely to make choices that will continue to make you feel good—you might eat better or take the dogs for an extra walk or simply be more excited to get dressed for that party you’re going to Saturday night.”
TELL US ABOUT YOUR STAFF.
“I believe in personalized service for my patients above all else. This means I perform every bit of every procedure myself. I will also be the only doctor you will ever see in your follow-up visits and the only doctor you will speak with, should you have a question when our office is closed. By streamlining the process in this way, your recovery goes more smoothly, and I am able to make your comfort, safety and satisfaction my top priority.”
HOW DO YOU EDUCATE YOUR CLIENTS TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEMSELVES?
“A huge factor to what makes my practice great is the people who work here. Debbie Clark, my office manager, has been with me for 13 years. She is my right hand and a reliable, wonderful resource for all of my patients. We offer a full-service skincare spa run by licensed aesthetician Yoli Carr. Yoli specializes in everything from hydrofacials and medical grade peels to quick, lunchtime facials that take fewer than 30 minutes. Cynthia and Hannah keep the front office moving smoothly. We work as one team in order to make the experience the best for you.”
“We understand that having a procedure done is a big decision, and we do everything in our power to make sure you are at ease and ready. At your consultation, we will explain in detail everything you can expect—ranging from the physical results to the recovery time and everything in between. No question is too small, and no question goes unanswered.”
SHARED TIP
PEOPLE DON’T ALWAYS REALIZE HOW CHANGING ONE THING, HOWEVER SMALL, CAN CHANGE THEIR ENTIRE LIFE. THAT MIGHT SEEM OVERLY OPTIMISTIC AT FIRST, BUT I’VE SEEN IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN, AND I KNOW THAT IT’S TRUE. FOR EXAMPLE, BY SCULPTING ONE TROUBLE SPOT ON YOUR BODY, ALL OF YOUR CLOTHES MAY FIT BETTER, WHICH MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER ON A DAILY BASIS. THE BENEFITS OF THIS CAN COMPOUND TOO, AS ONCE PEOPLE START FEELING BETTER, THEY OFTEN START EXERCISING MORE AND EATING RIGHT. ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE IS THAT BY HAVING YOUR EYES DONE, WHAT YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR MATCHES MUCH CLOSER WITH THE WAY YOU FEEL INSIDE. IN THIS WAY, EVEN MINOR ADJUSTMENTS CAN YIELD HUGE, POSITIVE RESULTS.
BEFORE & AFTER
The best way to get a sense of the results you may hope to achieve is to visit my website, plasticsurgeryforme.com, where we have uploaded hundreds of before and-after-photos of all of the procedures I frequently perform. Start in the section featuring the procedure you are interested in and then scroll through the myriad of photos to find patients who look similar to you. This will help you understand what you can expect from the procedure. A huge part of making sure you are satisfied with your results is making sure you understand what types of results you can anticipate. We have gone to great lengths on our website to give you a well-rounded idea of how each procedure might help you look and feel your best.
