Plastic Surgery

When you visit Houston Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, there are three main areas of focus that we concentrate on when consulting our patients on plastic or cosmetic surgery. Those areas are the Face, the Breasts, or the Body. Click or touch the images below to visit the area of the body and find out more in-depth information about the available procedures we perform! General plastic surgery mainly emphasizes procedures that cover the face, breast, and body. Therefore, you can select from an array of procedures under these categories, some of which you can bundle, depending on your particular surgical needs.

For example, facial procedures may include a brow lift, chemical peel, eyelid surgery, or facial rejuvenation in the form of collagen injections, Botox, or similar fillers. A traditional facelift, called a rhytidectomy, can make you look 10 years younger, or variations of this surgery may be performed as well. Some patients, who are not happy with the look of their nose, often ask about rhinoplasty, or nose surgery. You can also ask about otoplasty, a treatment performed when the ears need to be less noticeable, or need to be “pinned” back.

If you are concerned about the looks of your breast, you can opt for procedures, such as breast augmentation (breast implants), breast reduction, or breast lift. To sculpt the body, CoolSculpting represents one of the latest techniques in achieving a more perfect form. Ask about liposuction surgery or lipectomy (which removes fat under the chin), or you may be interested in treatments for varicose veins, known as sclerotherapy. Many women schedule tummy tucks, especially after pregnancy.

A great deal of general plastic surgery covers the above-mentioned areas, as people want to look as young as they feel. Having plastic surgery gives them a whole new level of self-confidence. However, it is important to remember that surgery will not automatically make your life better. You still have to remain realistic. If you are asking about surgery to make an improvement that you feel will boost your self-esteem, that is fine. However, don’t expect surgery to drastically change your appearance or instantly make you happy. The idea behind cosmetic surgery is to improve certain areas of the body so a patient realistically feels better about how they look and feel.

General plastic surgery makes it possible for both women and men to improve their appearance and make the most of how they come across professionally and personally. Check out your options today to see what procedures interest you and how you can be the best you can be.
