I performe cutting face and neck lifts but most of my patients prefer a minimally invasive approach and no scarring. Laser liposuction with Smartlipo Triplex has been a good alternative to surgery for some of my patients.

More recently a new device called ThermiRF is gaining acceptance in the US. This FDA approved modality melts fat and tightens the skin from inside with 3 small scars that are smaller than the back of a pencil erasure. the scars are behind the ears and under the chin and barely visible.

Thermi uses a small probe and "injects" Radiofrequency energy under the skin resulting in a tightening and elevation of the neck and jowls. The same technology can be used in the breasts, buttocks and abdominal skin..

Call us and schedule a consultation to see if you are a candidate for this virtually scar-less neck lift.

I performed many breast lifts during my Cosmetic Surgery fellowship in 1999. I never liked the scars. Some patients did great and had barely visible scars. Most of my patients had visible scars that made them self-conscious about their appearance. Occasionally the scars would become hypertrophic or even keloidal. I stopped doing breast lifts shortly after.

Recently I became very impressed with a new procedure called Thermi RF.

Thermi uses a small probe and injects Radiofrequency energy under the skin resulting in a tightening and elevation of the breast. The same technology can be used in the buttocks and abdominal skin.

Please watch this video by another surgeon back east. I hope to produce our own video this year.
