Our doctors offer ThermiSmooth radio-frequency treatment to improve and tighten loose skin.

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure which enlarges and enhances the breast contour. This is accomplished by placing a saline or silicone filled implant behind the breast. A variety of methods are used to place the implant including infra-mammary (incision under the breast), peri-areolar (incision around the nipple), trans-axilliary (through the armpit), or trans-umbilical (through the belly button). The surgeon will discuss this with you. What is the difference between silicone and saline implants? Beyond the obvious difference that they are made of different products, other important differences exist between silicone and saline implants. Silicone implants come pre-filled, meaning the surgeon can not add or remove volume. Saline implants, however, can be altered. Many surgeons and patients feel silicone augmentation results in a softer feel with a more natural contour.

Dr. Mallalieu gets rid of fat deposits under the chin/neck with laser liposuction. He uses minimally invasive laser liposuction to first melt fat, and then precisely remove it forever. Once gone, it doesn’t return. The last step in treatment is to use a second laser to internally heat the tissues, which results in skin tightening. It’s good, effective, and safe treatment. People are comfortable during treatment because the doctor bathes the area of removal with a tumescent lidocaine solution. It’s like getting numbed from the inside out. Oral medications are also available if you have a driver. You should notice a difference once the swelling subsides. You wear a supporting chin garment for several days to aid in the contouring that goes on post procedure. Results are usually quite evident and worth the effort.

Split earlobes are a defect usually caused by trauma or by wearing heavy earrings over a long period of time. For example, a baby jerks a dangling earring out of his mother’s ear. The result is a defect that runs from the piercing point to the end of the earlobe. Sometimes the tear is incomplete resulting in an enlarged hole. The cosmetic surgeon repairs one or both ears in about 30 minutes. The procedure is quick and comfortable. You can re-pierce your ear after two weeks but this should be done with the approval of the surgeon. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia. People generally do very well after treatment and pain is minimal. Discomfort controls nicely with Tylenol or Motrin. The application of ice the evening after surgery helps to reduce swelling and pain. Incisions usually heal well, leaving only a faint white line. We see the patient after two weeks and apply laser treatment to the incision to further enhance the healing process.

Our doctors use over 13 different lasers to rejuvenate, refine and repair sun damaged and aging skin. Laser treatment erases lined and saggy skin by deeply heating collagen.

They frequently use several lasers during rejuvenation to accomplish your goals. Customized laser medical care is a powerful anti-aging tool. Customized care can be adjusted to handle personal time constraints. If you desire little to no downtime, that can be accommodated. Several of our laser programs cause little more than a day or two of redness. However, your transformation over time is beautiful!

Many times patients complain about their upper eyelids drooping into their field of vision. Sometimes insurance companies recognize this as a medical condition to be corrected if it interferes with visual activities. Women hate saggy eyelids because it messes up eye makeup. The cure is simple, comfortable and gives a beautiful transformation! Cosmetic surgeons perform eyelid surgery to correct drooping of the eyelids (upper and lower) caused by aging or by other conditions. Collagen acts as a support structure to skin and it is this tissue, which thins with age.Cosmetic surgery removes excess tissue to correct this condition. Laser treatment also works with cosmetic surgery to thicken collagen and to enhance healing of surgical incisions. As we age skin looses collagen and elastin. The skin of the eyelids is no different. In many patients this can result in lose skin developing around the eyes.

The term “facelift” often refers to many different facial procedures. For example, a traditional facelift has an incision that extends from one ear over the hairline to the other ear. Most surgeons prefer new and less invasive procedures such as the short scar facelift and the endoscopic brow lift instead of a full facelift. In contrast, a short-scar facelift involves making an incision in front of the ear and lifting the sagging jowls. This procedure may be combined with a brow lift if needed. Pain is usually minimal and controls nicely with oral medications. You will experience bruising and swelling for one to two weeks. Dressings stay on for the first 48 hours and stitches are removed 5-7 days post surgery. You can resume normal activities the next day after surgery, however, you should avoid rigorous activities for two weeks. For a short-scar facelift, an incision begins just above the ear, goes behind the tragus (pointy cartilage in front of ear) and ends behind the ear.

Fat grafting involves two separate procedures. First, fat is removed from unwanted areas, such as the abdomen, waist or thighs using liposuction. The fat is then used to shape or fill other areas of the face or body. Fat injections can be used on the face much like any filler, adding volume to the lips or cheeks, and filling in marionette lines and deep wrinkles. The Brazilian Butt lift involves injecting larger volumes of harvested fat into the buttocks to create a fuller, curvaceous bottom. Fat can also be placed in the back of the hand to create a more youthful appearance. Smaller areas of liposuction and grafting take one to two hours. A Brazilian butt lift can take up to three hours. People have little discomfort with fat grafting. However, some swelling and bruising are usually noted for the first two to three days. Facial fat grafting can be done completely under local anesthetic, or if the patient wishes, IV sedation.

Our doctors discretely and effectively remove genital warts caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The laser vaporizes warts at their deepest level with the energy of light. Laser energy is delivered through an operating microscope that allows the doctor to see tiny warts not visible to the naked eye. Destroying tiny warts greatly increases the success rate of clearing warts. Laser treatment is fast, safe and comfortable. How is laser treatment different from other methods of treatment? Other methods of treatment involve freezing, burning or application of acid to warts. These methods are very often ineffective and painful.

Women who have a protruding, elongated or asymmetrical labia minora will find relief with labioplasty. This condition most often results from childbirth and from the aging process. Many women experience discomfort during exercise and intercourse, and are frequently embarrassed about their appearance. How is the procedure performed? First, the surgeon marks the protruding tissue that the client wants repaired. He then places incisions just inside the labia to avoid visible scarring. The tissue is then removed. Treatment takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, and may be performed under local anesthesia or with sedation. What can I expect after surgery? During your recovery time you will experience minor discomfort and some swelling. The doctor will prescribe additional pain control if necessary. Stitches are absorbable and do not need removal.

The Apogee, Broadband Light and Long Pulse Yag lasers remove more hair in five seconds than an hour of electrolysis. You can have hair removed from your back, shoulders, neck, chest, underarms, bikini lines, and even toes! Hair is removed by using a specific wavelength of laser light that passes harmlessly through the skin. The light is absorbed by the hair follicles, which then causes the follicle to shut down. Hair growth stops once the follicle is treated. Hair removal requires several treatments for best results. Until now electrolysis has been the only long-term method for the removal of unwanted hair. This method can be uncomfortable, time consuming, and the results are dependent on the skill of the electrologist. Less permanent methods include shaving, plucking, depilatories, and waxing. The Apogee, Broadband Light, and Long Pulse Yag lasers are designed to selectively treat only the hair follicle while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected.

Patients are turning to laser and light therapies to treat annoying rosacea. They want options other than long-term medications, which can cause systemic side effects. Our doctors treat rosacea with one to three treatments of Broadband Light Source (BBL). This therapy deals with the dilated blood vessels that cause the persistent redness and flushing typical of rosacea. BBL also treats the acne like breakouts that often occur with this condition. Most people notice immediate improvement after just one treatment. However, we recommend one to three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. To maintain optimal results, additional laser or light treatments may be needed at a later date. People should not tan before or after treatment. Tanning can worsen symptoms of rosacea, and minimize the impact of BBL. Our nurses will recommend medical grade products to protect and improve your skin throughout the treatment process.

As with most surgeries procedure length varies on the patient and the extent of the procedure. Abdominoplasty takes about 3-4 hours to perform. In a traditional tummy tuck an incision is made from hip to hip, leaving a sizable scar. Fortunately, most scars are placed below the underwear line. A second scar is placed around the belly button. By adding post-operative laser treatments to the incision sites, our doctors do everything possible to minimize the amount and size of the scar. Our cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jared Mallalieu, will walk you through an abdominoplasty procedure in the below video. The results of this procedure are remarkable.
