Procedures

Plastic surgery includes cosmetic and reconstructive procedures for the face, breast, body, hands, and other areas. Explore some of the most common procedures and areas of care below that our members provide to the community. Treatment should always be individualized through consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Face and Neck

  • Facelift surgery addresses visible signs of aging in the face by repositioning underlying tissues and reducing excess or sagging skin.

  • A neck lift improves the contours of the neck and jawline by addressing loose skin, excess fat, and other age-related changes.

  • Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to address appearance, proportion, structural concerns, or breathing difficulties.

  • Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery addresses excess skin, puffiness, or drooping involving the upper or lower eyelids.

  • A brow lift repositions the forehead and eyebrows to address brow heaviness, forehead lines, and other signs of aging in the upper face.

  • Also known as otoplasty, ear surgery changes the shape, position, or proportion of the ears and may address congenital or acquired concerns.

Breast and Chest

  • Breast augmentation uses implants or fat transfer to increase breast volume or change breast shape and proportion.

  • Also known as mastopexy, a breast lift reshapes and raises the breasts by repositioning tissue and removing excess skin.

  • Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size, weight, and associated physical discomfort.

  • Revision surgery changes, replaces, or removes existing breast implants to address personal preferences, age-related changes, or implant-related concerns.

  • Breast reconstruction uses implants, a patient’s own tissue, or a combination of techniques to restore breast form following cancer treatment, injury, or congenital conditions.

  • Gynecomastia surgery reduces enlarged male breast tissue and reshapes the chest using liposuction, tissue removal, or a combination of techniques.

Body

  • Liposuction removes localized areas of fat to improve body contour and proportion. It is a contouring procedure rather than a weight-loss treatment.

  • Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and fat and may tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles.

  • Body-contouring procedures remove and reshape excess skin that may remain after significant weight loss, helping improve comfort, mobility, and body proportion.

  • Also known as brachioplasty, an arm lift reshapes the upper arms by reducing excess skin and, when appropriate, localized fat.

  • A thigh lift removes excess skin and reshapes the thighs to create a smoother and more proportionate contour.

  • Buttock procedures may use lifting, fat transfer, implants, or tissue reduction to change shape, projection, and proportion.

Reconstructive Surgery

  • Hand surgery treats conditions affecting function, movement, sensation, or appearance, including injuries and disorders involving bones, tendons, nerves, and soft tissue.

  • Cleft and craniofacial surgery addresses congenital or acquired conditions affecting the skull, face, jaws, and related structures, often through multidisciplinary care.

  • Microsurgery uses specialized magnification and instruments to reconnect small blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic structures or transfer tissue from one area of the body to another.

  • For appropriately selected patients, lymphedema procedures may help improve lymphatic drainage and reduce swelling caused by damage or obstruction within the lymphatic system.

  • Reconstructive procedures repair areas affected by skin-cancer removal with the goal of restoring tissue coverage, function, and appearance.

  • Reconstructive surgery following burns or traumatic injuries may address wounds, scars, tissue loss, restricted movement, and changes in appearance.

  • Reconstructive surgery following burns or traumatic injuries may address wounds, scars, tissue loss, restricted movement, and changes in appearance.

  • Scar-revision treatments are designed to reduce a scar’s prominence or improve discomfort and restricted movement. Although scars cannot be completely erased, their appearance and function may often be improved.Item description

Nonsurgical Treatments

  • Injectable neuromodulators temporarily reduce targeted muscle activity to soften dynamic facial lines and wrinkles.

  • Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, enhance facial contours, or soften selected lines and folds.

  • Laser and resurfacing procedures use controlled treatments to address concerns involving skin texture, tone, pigmentation, scars, and visible signs of aging.
