Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center & Med Spa

As the body experiences weight fluctuations, the skin relaxes and fatty tissue is deposited in various areas. These problem areas can be difficult to manage even through proper diet and exercise. It is common for the upper arm to develop loose skin and fat which can cause embarrassment and restrict clothing choices. Brachioplasty, often called an arm lift, at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center is a body contouring process that removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the upper arms, dramatically improving the appearance and silhouette of the arms. Brachioplasty is a popular cosmetic surgery. However, many patients worry about the visible scar it can leave behind. Our Sarasota surgeons use the embrace® Advanced Scar Therapy starting 2 weeks after surgery to help heal and lighten scarring so that they are not so noticeable. The embrace system has been clinically proven to produce finer, lighter scars that heal faster. After the scar heals, all anyone will notice is sleek, contoured arms.

Body contouring surgery is any cosmetic surgery that removes fat, excess skin, and creates a tighter, slimmer figure. Individuals who have lost weight, have completed pregnancy, or who are experiencing the signs of aging, may benefit from a body contouring procedure. Common treatments include breast lift surgery, liposuction, abdominoplasty, butt and thigh lift surgery, as well as brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery. Our Sarasota plastic surgeons are body contouring specialists who have years of experience, blending surgical skill and an artistic eye to create outstanding results. The physical change can be dramatic for many and the surgical outcomes long lasting.

Botox® smooths wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing facial muscles for a refreshed, youthful appearance. Ideal for crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines, it delivers natural-looking, temporary results with minimal downtime.

Aging, fluctuating weight, or genetics can result in buttocks that appear deflated, saggy, or flat. Transferring fat from another area of your body to your buttocks enhances volume and shape. The procedure, called a Brazilian butt lift, is available at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center. Patients throughout the country and from around the world travel to our facility for this popular surgery. Unwanted fat removed using liposuction is grafted into the buttocks to produce natural curves. Because the fat is taken from your body, you can avoid many of the disadvantages posed by butt implants. Some patients, however, may require a more traditional approach, such as a surgical excisional butt lift, because they lack enough fat or have excess skin. During the consultation process, our surgeons determine which of these butt enhancement procedures is right for each patient.

Almost all women have some degree of breast asymmetry, but visible breast asymmetry (a significant difference in position or volume) affects almost 50% of women. If breast asymmetry is causing problems, either in appearance or emotions, a woman may have breast asymmetry correction surgery by the experienced plastic surgeons at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center in Florida. Our surgeons will talk to the patient about their concerns and goals before physically examining the breasts during the initial consultation. Based on the patient's unique anatomy and preferences, our cosmetic surgeon will help the patient decide on the best breast surgery and treatment plan for them. Breast asymmetry may be corrected with either a breast augmentation, a breast reduction, a breast lift, or a fat transfer. Our Sarasota plastic surgeons will carefully restore balance to the patient's chest for an improved appearance and confidence.

Breast augmentation with a lift is a combination of two cosmetic procedures to improve the volume and shape of the breast. It is a surgery that includes both the placement of breast implants, as well as a skin tightening technique (the lift) to bring the breast to a higher position on the chest wall. Aging, pregnancy and weight loss are common factors in which the breasts can lose volume and shape. If a patient has good skin tone and limited sagging, implants alone may suffice. However, sagging that creates a downward breast appearance caused by a loss of skin elasticity must be treated with a lift. Implants can then be placed to create the size desired by the patient. Breast augmentation with a lift creates beautiful, youthful, shapelier breasts.

Women who have overly large breasts often suffer from back and neck pain, skin irritations, and are usually limited to doing the things they want such as performing specific exercises or wearing certain pieces of clothing. Our Sarasota plastic surgeons perform breast reduction surgery to help such women. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to give the woman smaller, better-shaped, lifted breasts that are in proportion with the rest of her body. Breast reduction surgery can provide a woman with self-confidence and helps to alleviate many symptoms.

Breast revision surgery corrects concerns from previous breast procedures, such as implant issues, asymmetry, or changes over time. It restores breast shape, balance, and comfort with personalized surgical solutions and long-lasting results.

A brow lift, also referred to as a forehead lift, corrects a sagging brow that normally comes with aging to give patients a fresher, younger look. This procedure improves the position of the forehead and eyebrows. As we age, the skin and supporting structures lose their elasticity and support. The skin begins to stretch and sag, often causing a tired or sad look in the forehead and eye region. In addition, underlying muscles can create prominent wrinkles in the forehead. Our Sarasota plastic surgeons perform brow lift surgery to reposition the eyebrows, soften wrinkles and provide a more youthful and rested appearance. It improves the upper third (from the eyebrows up) of the face, whereas a facelift helps improve the lower two-thirds of the face. We offer several types of brow lift procedures all of which can be discussed in detail during the initial consultation.

Individuals who lose a large amount of weight sometimes battle loose and saggy skin under the buttocks. This wrinkling and flabby skin can not only be annoying for the patient, but it makes wearing certain clothes very difficult. Our Sarasota plastic surgery center offers a surgical butt lift to correct this problem. This is a body contouring procedure that addresses excess and sagging skin on and below the buttocks. During surgery, this excess skin is trimmed away and the remaining underlying tissue is pulled up for a tighter look. Some patients will also desire to augment the buttock in addition to the lift. This can be done via a fat transfer to add volume and shape. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift which can create gorgeous results.

Strong cheekbones are a sign of youth and a defined facial appearance. Our Sarasota, FL facial plastic surgeons use cheek implants or fillers, or a combination of both, to correct the loss of volume in the mid-face and lift the cheeks for a rejuvenated appearance. In addition to filling out the central region of the face, due to aging or weight loss, cheek augmentation helps to decrease the visible effects of laugh lines, wrinkles, and loose jowls. There are many options to consider and during your consultation with one of our Sarasota cosmetic surgeons, all of the options will be discussed.

Our plastic surgeons perform ear surgery for both children and adults, depending on the surgical need. The improvement is subtle, but lasts a lifetime and quite often helps the patient feel more self-confident about his or her appearance.

As we age, the skin and underlying tissues of the face and neck lose their elasticity and support, causing sagging, folds, and wrinkles. It is also a known fact that the loss of facial volume (fatty tissue) is also an important contributor to facial aging. A facelift, combined with facial fat grafting, can restore this volume and give the face a youthful, refreshed appearance. Our Sarasota plastic surgeons are renowned for their delicate touch and eye for balance and symmetry. This artistic sensibility is critical to a successful facelift. While many techniques can be considered in relation to the degree of facial sag and aging, patients can be reassured that gone are the days when lifting procedures of the face and neck left behind a pulled, tight appearance. Our surgeons avoid any appearance of an over-operated look. Using the most modern approaches, our patients love their natural, lasting outcomes.

Facial balancing uses fillers, Botox®, and other treatments to enhance symmetry, proportion, and harmony. It refreshes the appearance, smooths lines, and creates a natural, youthful, and well-balanced look.

There are numerous treatments that rejuvenate the contours and volume of your face, but fat grafting to the face is increasing in popularity due to its natural outcomes and lasting benefits. Loss of volume, often due to aging, tends to be more pronounced around the cheeks, jawline, and eyes. Fat grafting to the face can be used to correct the most common signs of aging, and it rebuilds fullness by smoothing lines, wrinkles, and folds throughout your face while utilizing your own fat. By removing unwanted fat from your body, our Sarasota plastic surgeons can skillfully apply the fat into the desired parts of your face for lasting, beautiful results. With fat grafting to the face, you not only get a rejuvenated facial appearance, you get to also make improvements to your body. To find out more about fat grafting to the face, contact Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center in Sarasota, FL to schedule a consultation.

Our Sarasota plastic surgeons offer patients the opportunity to fight against aging as the fatty tissue of the face can diminish and the underlying support of the skin can be lost resulting in wrinkles and loose skin. Fat injections, also known as a fat transfer or fat grafting, provide a natural way to add volume back to the face. Our Sarasota plastic surgeons use this procedure to remove small or large amounts of a patient’s own body fat and inject it to enhance areas of the face to minimize wrinkles, smooth hollows under the eyes and enhance cheekbones and jaw lines through 3-dimensional contouring.

Fat transfer to the breast uses your own fat to enhance breast volume and shape naturally. This procedure provides subtle, natural-looking results while contouring donor areas for improved overall body balance.

Through the natural aging process, the hands can lose volume and elasticity. This results in a thinner, bony appearance with the addition of fine lines and wrinkles. At Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center, our skilled plastic surgeons offer hand rejuvenation procedures through the use of volume replacement with either fat grafting or injectable fillers. These procedures can also be combined with skin rejuvenating treatments to address age and sunspots. With both fat transfer and injectable fillers, the volume is restored to the hands to reduce the appearance of skin laxity and wrinkles that occur as we age. To learn more about the hand rejuvenation treatments we offer, contact our Sarasota, FL facility to schedule your initial consultation.

A combination of surgical procedures that restore the breast and body following childbirth is known as a “Mommy Makeover.” At Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center, a Mommy Makeover often combines a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and a breast lift (mastopexy) with or without augmentation. During this procedure, stretched abdominal muscles can be tightened and excess skin removed to restore or even improve your waistline. Additionally, the breasts can be reshaped, lifted, and enlarged to achieve a fuller and more youthful-looking appearance.

Of all cosmetic surgeries, one that can produce a striking improvement to an individual’s profile is a neck lift. At Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center in Sarasota, Florida, this procedure is ideal for weight loss patients and for those who have loose, sagging skin in the neck area as the result of aging and gravity. A neck lift removes excess fat and sagging skin to produce a more tightened, slimmer profile. It removes what some refer to as the “turkey neck.” In addition, this procedure treats the appearance of wrinkles and unsightly lines on the neck. The primary technique used during a neck lift is skin tightening. However, some patients may not necessarily need skin tightening, but instead could benefit from liposuction. During the consultation, the difference between a neck lift and neck liposuction will be discussed so that the best approach can be taken.

Sometimes, this surgery may be a small correction such as minor shaving or reshaping of the nasal bone, however, in cases where there is surgical error beyond a minor procedure, nose reconstruction may be needed. This may include the additional manipulation of cartilage and bone to attain the right aesthetic look, as well as proper function. Our cosmetic surgeons have the skill, experience, and training to not only correct a problem from a prior rhinoplasty procedure, but the artistic eye to create a natural, beautiful result.
