- Medical Weight LossAfter a substantial weight loss, severely stretched unsupported skin may be especially apparent on the upper arms, abdomen, breasts, buttocks, groin, and thighs. The waist may develop an “over-hang” that extends from the front to the lower back. Breasts may flatten and droop and the thighs and buttocks may sag. Not only can the condition be unattractive, but infections can develop in the damp skin folds (skin maceration).

- Labor and DeliveryA tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is used to create a firmer flatter abdomen. It is common for excess fat deposits and loose sagging skin to develop in the abdomen as a result of aging, weight gain, loss of elasticity of the skin, heredity, and childbirth. For some people the abdomen protrudes despite dieting and exercise. A tummy tuck surgically removes excess fat and tissue. Additionally, the stomach muscles are tightened creating a smoother more youthful silhouette.

- UltrasoundLiposuction, also known as lipoplasty, liposculpture, or suction assisted lipectomy is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures. Through small incisions, liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, neck, and upper arms that have not responded to diet and exercise. The procedure is performed with the tumescent technique, which involves the injection of fluid into the treatment area to aid in the smooth removal of fat. Liposuction can be enhanced with the use of ultrasound, and ultrasound assisted liposuction (UAL) is often used to remove fat from hard to treat locations.

- Minimally Invasive SurgeryExcess tissue Forehead lift surgery, also known as a browlift, aims to revitalize drooping or lines on the forehead, which can aesthetically help a person look more relaxed. Using either traditional or minimally-invasive surgery, the muscles above the eyes are altered endoscopically, to smooth lines and raise the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance. The procedure is often combined with other operations such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and a facelift, to improve the look of the eyes and other areas of the face. During forehead lift surgery, the newest approach is endoscopic surgery. Several small incisions are placed just behind the hairline and a device called an endoscope is used to assist in the surgery. After this procedure, results have shown to produce minimal scarring, allowing people to have a faster recovery.
- Ear SurgeryNo set of ears are exactly alike, but some people find protruding ears to be unattractive or bothersome. They can make children and adults self-conscious and the target of teasing. Fortunately, cosmetic ear surgery called otoplasty can reposition the ears closer to the head. Otoplasty is a common procedure that is successfully completed on thousands of people each year.

- Mohs Surgery"My experience with Dr. Singh in both process and outcome was excellent. I needed repair of Moh's surgery on my right temple, the opening being larger than a quarter, not a candidate for flap closure. So Dr. Singh did a skin graft taking the donor patch from my upper chest. My instructions for care of the wound were clear and doable, and in the end, the site is barely distinguishable from the surrounding skin. Dr. Singh is confident and personable. I never had to spend much time in his waiting room."

- Eyelid SurgeryFor upper eyelid surgery, fine incisions are made in the natural eyelid crease. Fat, excess skin, and sagging muscles may be removed depending upon the desired results and observed problems. The muscles or actual eyelids may be tightened and the incision is closed with tiny stitches. After healing, the incision line is barely visible because it is in the natural eyelid crease.
- LiposuctionLiposuction is a procedure where fat cells are sucked away from under the skin, with the goal of improving the contour and proportion of the patient’s body. Sometimes fat in certain places on the body doesn’t go away with traditional exercise. Liposuction can help get rid of multiple trouble areas, and the results are effective.
- Breast AugmentationBreast augmentation is most commonly an outpatient procedure. Breast augmentation can be performed at a doctor’s surgical suite, hospital, or outpatient surgery center. It may be performed with general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
- Breast ReductionA breast reduction (mammaplasty) is a cosmetic or reconstructive surgical procedure that is used to remove excess breast tissue, and reduce the size of the breasts. Women with large breasts may experience back and shoulder discomfort or pain, activity limitations, and self-consciousness. Overly large breasts can cause indentations in the shoulders from bra straps and skin irritation beneath the breast. Breast reduction can help reduce such symptoms as well as create a breast size that is in better proportion with a woman’s figure.
- Breast LiftThere are a few surgical methods for breast lift procedures. The procedures are similar in that they remove excess tissue and tighten, firm, and reshape the breast. The procedures differ in the specific incision patterns and techniques. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate breast lift procedure based on your breast characteristics.
- Rhinoplasty"Being a 60 year old male with prior health conditions, I found Dr. Devita to be a sensitive, caring, thorough, calming and professional doctor. As soon as we met, all my concerns with having rhinoplasty disappeared. He showed us his prior work and focused in on a patient who had a nose like mine. The results looked amazing. I am 7 weeks past my surgery and I can see the stark difference in my nose already. I put all my trust in Dr. Devita and he exceeded my expectations. The staff was also very kind and professional. I would highly recommend Dr. Devita and this practice."
- Breast Reconstruction" Just a little thank you to Dr. Silberman for all he has done for me. He is truly one of the best doctors I have ever come across.

- Face LiftA face lift removes excess fat and sagging skin which has lost elasticity from the lower portion of the face, jaw line, and neck.

A face lift removes or softens jowls and sagging skin on the cheeks and neck to create an angular well-defined jaw line.
- Neck Lift
- BlepharoplastyEyelid surgery will result in a brighter appearance to the eyes and face. Even though this is typically a cosmetic procedure, this procedure can also improve the patient’s vision by lifting their droopy eyelids out of their field of vision. During eyelid surgery, incisions are made along the eyelids in hidden places, and in some cases within the eyelids, in order to reduce and produce no visible scars. Blepharoplasty may be performed by itself or in combination with other rejuvenation procedures.
- AbdominoplastyTummy Tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist. The procedure is used to remove excess skin and fat on the abdomen. The best candidates for an Abdominoplasty are those who have excess skin and fat, or weakened abdominal muscles due to age, pregnancy, or obesity. An abdominoplasty is not entirely a minimally invasive or scar-free surgery. Most surgeons try to use tummy tuck techniques that use the smallest incision possible, and that leave scars in a place that will be covered by a standard bikini. During surgery, the abdominal muscles are tightened, and the excess skin and fat are removed. Abdominoplasty may be performed by itself or in combination with other rejuvenation procedures.

- Laser ResurfacingLaser skin resurfacing, commonly called a laser peel, removes the outer, damaged layer of skin to reveal a smoother, younger look. Laser resurfacing can reduce the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, uneven pigment and superficial scarring, usually on the face. A carbon dioxide laser beam of precisely focused light vaporizes the skin surface and reveals the undamaged layer beneath. Treatment may be performed by itself or in combination with other rejuvenation procedures.
- GynecomastiaMost people think of estrogen as an exclusively female hormone, but men also produce it, normally in smaller quantities. However, if male estrogen levels become too high or are out of balance with testosterone levels, it can cause a condition known as gynecomastia (male breasts or “man boobs”).

The skin begins to lose its elasticity, as the environment and other factors all affect the face. This results in frown lines, wrinkling across the forehead, and an increased heaviness of the eyebrows. Others may mistake your appearance as tired, angry, or sad when this is not how you actually feel. As a result, many people have opted for a procedure known as the forehead lift. Forehead lift surgery can treat the following...
