- Medical Weight LossPregnancy, weight loss, and breastfeeding can leave lasting marks on a woman’s body. Changes, such as sagging skin and excess fat, can make a woman feel insecure about her once youthful appearance. Schedule a Consultation
- Family Practice
- OphthalmologyOphthalmologists, both general and oculoplastic, are board certified (by the American Board of Ophthalmology) and restrict their surgery to the eyes and eyelids.
- PregnancyWhile you are absolutely able to still have children after Mommy Makeover surgery, you need to understand that pregnancy and childbirth will affect or erase many of the results that your Mommy Makeover gave you. That is why it is strongly recommended that you wait to have your Mommy Makeover until after you are done having children.

- UltrasoundSilicone implants tend to have a longer lifespan. A disadvantage is that implant failure is typically only detectable through high-resolution ultrasound or MRI. The FDA recommends routine imaging of the implant for patients with silicone breast implants.
- MRIImplant Deflation or Rupture: It is important to know that all implants will eventually fail and need to be replaced. When a saline implant fails, the saline (saltwater) leaks out and is absorbed by your body. This is usually very obvious. Slow leaks are possible but much less common. Silicone implant failure is not obvious, as the silicone stays in the scar pocket and there are no physical signs. Silicone implants require ongoing surveillance using high-resolution ultrasound or MRI. Mammograms may detect a failure but are unreliable. Silicone implants typically last longer than saline.
- RadiologyWe may need to give your information to other facilities, including but not limited to radiology, labs, medical specialists, and insurance companies to process claims.Â
- General SurgeryWhile there are shortcuts to becoming a plastic surgeon, Dr. Pollock knew that to fulfill his goals of being the best possible plastic surgeon, he first needed the extensive experience, technical skills, and clinical judgement that comes by completing a general surgery residency. So, after receiving his medical degree, he sought out and was accepted into one of the most rigorous and highly regarded surgical training programs in the country at the University of Texas, Southwestern/Parkland Memorial Hospital. He completed the five-year program and earned board certification by the American Board of Surgery (ABS).
- Ear SurgeryThe ideal ear surgery candidate is anyone with oddly shaped, overly large ears or ears that stick out too far from the sides of the head.

- BotoxBOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Jeuveau™ are neuromodulators that produce effective and affordable options for smoothing out the earliest signs of aging.
- Brow LiftA brow lift typically offers long-standing results. Ultimately, every patient is different, and the length of their results can vary based on genetics, the natural aging process, skincare, lifestyle, and more. On average, a brow lift shows results for five to 10 years. Eventually, the aging process will bring the brows back down. At this time, the patient may select to undergo another brow lift procedure.
- Eyelid SurgeryChanges in the eyelids usually are the first sign of aging, which includes skin excess in the upper eyelids, fullness in the lower eyelids, and wrinkling of the skin lateral to the eye (crow’s-feet). Therefore, it is logical that one of the most frequent and earliest sought-after cosmetic procedures is eyelid surgery.
- LiposuctionExercise and diet-resistant fat is a frustrating fact of life for many individuals. Fortunately, liposuction offers an effective and permanent solution to this problem. This procedure has incorporated new, advanced techniques to improve results and downtime. Schedule a Consultation
- Breast AugmentationSome women who have had a breast augmentation may, at some point, consider exchanging their implants or even having them removed all together. The reasons vary from individual to individual and range from personal choice to medical need.
- Breast ReductionBreast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is the procedure for women which reduces the amount of breast tissue. Women who choose to have breast reduction surgery generally have very large breasts that cause them discomfort. For some, the discomfort is physical: back or neck ache, skin irritation, shoulder pain from the pressure of bra straps, etc. Very large breasts may keep some women from doing the activities they enjoy, such as engaging in athletics. For others, the discomfort is emotional. They may feel uncomfortable due to the appearance of their breasts which are large for their frame. Any of these are valid reasons to consider the surgery.
- Breast LiftWhen a significant degree of sagging is present, Dr. Pollock recommends a breast lift (mastopexy) to properly treat breast ptosis. Breast lift surgery is a popular procedure designed to return the breast tissues to their proper position above the inframammary fold. A breast lift can also address breast size by removing some tissue to decrease size or adding an implant to increase size or replace lost volume. Those women who wish to increase the size of their breasts may add an implant. However, increasing size should be somewhat conservative as the increased weight of the implant can stretch the weak tissue.
- RhinoplastySurgery to reshape the nose, or rhinoplasty, is one of the most common cosmetic facial procedures performed in the United States. While the general technique is somewhat standard in principle, there are many significant differences in rhinoplasty techniques used by individual surgeons.
- Breast ReconstructionOur goals, tastes and life situations change over the course of one’s life and a decision made when you had your breast implants placed may be quite different years later. Some women may want to change their size, switch to a different fill material or simply remove their breast implants. Changing breast implants may be related to changes in one’s breasts that occur with having children or simply with age. The loss of support, loss of volume or thinning of breast tissue may require a different size or type of breast implant to achieve the best look and feel of one’s breasts. Some women may develop a problem, such as capsular contracture (hardening of the breast) or implant rupture. Finally, some may develop a medical condition such as breast cancer (which can lead to breast reconstruction surgery) or concern for breast implant illness and get medical advice that it may be best to have their implants.
- Plastic SurgeryThe goal of our website is to provide potential patients with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their needs. If you are ready to schedule a consultation to discuss your plastic surgery goals, please email our office using the contact form on this page.
- Thigh LiftThe cost of your body lift in Dallas will vary significantly depending on the extent of your procedure and how much excess skin and fat needs to be removed. Additionally, the cost will be different if other plastic surgery procedures, such as an arm lift or a thigh lift, are being performed simultaneously.
- Face LiftThis marketing has resulted in patients seeking “ANYTHING BUT A FACELIFT.” Unfortunately, often a facelift is just what is needed to accomplish the patient’s goals.
- BlepharoplastyBlepharoplasty is ideal for patients with overhanging upper eyelids and heavy bags or puffiness under the eyes. Some patients may complain about heavy eyelids that obstruct their upper visual field.
- AbdominoplastyThis surgical procedure is an extension of an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), in that the incision is continued around the posterior (back) trunk.
- Nose SurgeryThe cost of your chin augmentation is dependent on the extent of correction needed and whether or not any other facial surgeries are being performed in conjunction with your chin implant, such as rhinoplasty (nose surgery), otoplasty (ear surgery), or fat transfer/fat grafting. Additional cost factors include anesthesia fees, facility fees, and surgeon fees.
- Body LiftAn in-depth consultation with Dr. Todd Pollock can best determine whether you are a good candidate for a body lift.
- Breast SurgeryCosmetic breast surgery is done to enhance the appearance of the breast. It may be done to increase or decrease size, improve symmetry or reduce sagging. Increasing the breast size is called breast augmentation  or breast enhancement. This is most commonly done with breast implants which can be filled with saline (a salt water solution) or silicone gel. Recent reports describe breast enhancement with the patient’s own fat. This is still not widely accepted as safe.
- OtoplastyThe correction of prominent ears can be surgically corrected with otoplasty, or ear setback surgery, in both children and adults. Ear pinning surgery can help restore symmetry and return a more natural look by positioning the ears closer to the scalp. Schedule a Consultation
- Lip AugmentationRADIESSE® has immediately visible results, lasts 12 to 18 months, and has minimal risk of an allergic reaction. It is calcium hydroxylapatite, a substance found in bone that is made into an injectable paste. When used in the lips, some lumpiness has been observed; therefore, we do not use this material for lip augmentation. We are very impressed with the ease of administration and results with RADIESSE®. It is the best choice for the nasolabial folds.
- Body ContouringWhile some patients manage to restore their figure through diet and exercise, others are left with unflattering and unwanted changes. Fortunately, Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Pollock can help you achieve the results you want by performing Mommy Makeover surgery. A Mommy Makeover is a combination of multiple body contouring procedures to help women regain a more toned and feminine body shape.
- GynecomastiaEnlargement of the male breast (gynecomastia) occurs when there is excess breast tissue and/or fat in the chest. While gynecomastia is a relatively common occurrence during puberty and later in life, it often causes men to feel embarrassed and self-conscious about their appearance.
- Cosmetic SurgeryCareCredit offers 100% financing on your cosmetic surgery with no application fees, no annual fees, and no pre-payment penalties. We accept most of the many plans Care Credit has available.
- Bariatric SurgeryPatients seeking body lift surgery typically have undergone bariatric surgery, lost massive weight after dieting, or have loose skin following pregnancy. Suitable candidates must be in good health with no surgical risk factors. You should have realistic goals for the results of your surgery and a positive outlook.
- Chin AugmentationChin augmentation is a relatively minor procedure in which the prominence of an underdeveloped jaw is accentuated with a solid silicone chin implant.
- Forehead LiftThe final cost of your brow lift will depend on the extent of correction and any procedures being performed in combination with your forehead lift. You will be given an accurate cost estimate during your consultation with Dr. Pollock.
- Chemical PeelsWhen elasticity is decreased in the skin, we begin to see wrinkles with animation, like smiling or frowning. These are called dynamic wrinkles because they appear only when we animate. As those lines begin to remain without animating, they are known as static wrinkles. Dynamic lines are treated by weakening the muscles that cause them using a product like BOTOX® that temporarily stops the nerves from sending signals to the muscles and stopping or weakening that motion. They can also be treated using skin care regimens that improve the skin health. Static lines are treated with a skin resurfacing procedure like laser or chemical peels. Fillers can also give temporary improvement. Skin wrinkles may be softened by facial tightening, as in a facelift, but not necessarily eliminated.
- Rashes
- Skin CarePreventative actions can help maintain your results, such as adopting a healthy lifestyle, starting a quality skin care regimen, wearing daily sunscreen, and taking other sun exposure precautions.
