“A SURGICAL PRACTICE IS USUALLY CONE SHAPED,” SAYS A. PETER SALAS,
M.D. – “a cone that grows smaller as the doctor hones his skills
and performs fewer procedures over time.” Salas Plastic Surgery is
cone-shaped as well. However, Dr. Salas is proud of his quest to
expand his practice by embracing the technological advances in
cosmetic and restorative plastic surgery.
Salas Plastic Surgery offers numerous surgical and non-surgical
options for their patients. Using minimally invasive and scarless
techniques, they perform more office-based and out-patient
procedures than in the past. In the office they use fillers and
Botox® to improve wrinkles and soften lines. Dr. Salas was one of
the pioneers of fat reduction through injection in the USA, a
procedure that recently gained FDA approval.
Surgical procedures commonly performed at Salas Plastic Surgery
include facial plastic surgery, breast surgery and body contouring.
They use endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques which minimize
down-time and make many procedures virtually scarless.
They also specialize in Vaser Super-Def. Liposelection, a procedure
similar to liposuction which selectively removes more fat, tightens
the skin, and creates definition yielding a more muscular physique.
Facial plastic surgery is another area where Salas Plastic Surgery
excels. In addition to cosmetic procedures on the face, they also
do major facial reconstruction following skin cancer and
Mohs surgery.
Patients seek out Dr. Salas’ expertise to correct a suboptimal result
of a procedure they have had elsewhere. He recommends
researching your doctor and says, “Googling is not research.” He
advised contacting the Medical Board, the American Society of
Plastic Surgeons, and the American Board of Medical Specialties.
“It is important to make sure your surgeon is certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery.” He also warns about going
overseas. Although there are many good surgeons overseas, they
often don't have the same sophisticated equipment and technology.
Dr. Salas’ training and education are noteworthy. Aside from his
training in plastic and aesthetic surgery, he completed training in
general surgery, surgical oncology, hand surgery, and microsurgery.
He also enjoys the rare distinction of triple board certification and
recertification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, American
Board of Surgery, and the American Board of Aesthetic
Mesotherapy. This unique background has provided him with the
breadth of knowledge and experience to treat the most complex
conditions. “I tackle more challenging and a greater variety of
cases than most plastic surgeons.”
He has a stellar national and international reputation and was
repeatedly named one of America’s Top Doctors by Consumers
Research Council of America, Montclair Magazine, and New
Jersey Monthly magazine. But what he is most proud of is being
voted by his patients as one of the Most Compassionate Doctors
and receiving the Patients’ Choice Award.
