- Medical Weight LossAt our San Diego area clinic in La Jolla, liposuction is not recommended as a weight loss technique, but rather for reshaping body areas you may feel are out of proportion. It is not how much fat is removed, but rediscovering the pleasing, more natural contour that remains.
- Pregnancy
- Labor and DeliveryYou may be unhappy with your breasts because they never grew as fully as you desired, or one grew disproportionate to the other. Or, often, after weight loss, or childbirth and breast-feeding, the breasts can lose volume and shape. As performed at SK Clinic in La Jolla, outside San Diego, breast augmentation adds volume to the breast mound for a natural, fuller, more youthful shape. Breast augmentation may be performed alone if only volume is desired. However, breast augmentation may also be performed in combination with a breast lift for maximum benefit, correcting both volume and shape.
- Wound CareFraxel re:pair treatment uses fractional technology. As an ablative procedure, Fraxel re:pair treatment uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser to vaporize microscopic columns of tissue deep within the skin. Fraxel re:pair treatment, performed by our Plastic surgeons is a more aggressive procedure and is used to treat the most severe signs of skin damage. Results are achieved in 1-2 treatments and wound care recovery time (usually 24-72 hours) is generally longer than other Fraxel treatments. To speed up the healing process from laser resurfacing at our La Jolla center, we administer oxygen treatments along with topical vitamins and minerals daily for five days. This speeds up the healing process, reduces excess reddening of the skin and makes this procedure comfortable, predictable, and safe. In as few as ten days, you will be able to apply make-up again!
- Reconstructive SurgeryPlastic surgeons perform an estimated one million reconstructive procedures annually. Reconstructive surgery benefits people of all ages and helps solve a wide range of issues resulting from congenital deformities (birth defects) and trauma (injury, disease, and aging). Dr. Stephen Krant of SK Clinic in La Jolla perform masterful reconstructive surgery and are renowned for beautiful, meticulous work.

- Brow LiftThe brow or forehead can be your facial barometer. Stress and fatigue take up residence for all to see in the form of furrows, creases, sagging eyelids, and the dreaded frown line. At SK Clinic in the San Diego area, the endoscopic brow lift is a safe, precise, and patient-friendly procedure for dealing with the brow that can effectively erase these facial furrows.
- Liposuction“Dr. Krant and his team at the SK Clinic made my surgical experience better than I could have anticipated. From the very first consult to my most recent follow-up his team has been hugely helpful and supportive. I had my chin augmented and well as liposuction and tightening of my neck muscles performed. I am thrilled with the results, they just keep getting better. I am currently in my second week of recovery and I feel great. Dr. Krant is kind and available for assistance when needed. The nurses in his office are exceptional, I felt like I bonded with each of them. My nurse anesthetist was excellent and had exceptional patient-centered care. Overall, I have to say that I am beyond pleased with my decision to have my surgery at the SK Clinic with Dr. Krant and his team. Thank you all!”
- Breast Augmentation“I had a Breast Augmentation done in March, and I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Krant spent time with me before the surgery making sure I was comfortable and saw me days and months after to make sure I was healing properly. The staff was warm and welcoming and I would highly recommend it to anyone that is thinking of doing this surgery.”

- Face LiftAt SK Clinic, located north of San Diego in La Jolla, the facelift is designed to restore the youthful contour of your face. Discrete incisions are made within the ear crease and into the hairline. The hairline is completely restored without telltale scars. Fat is sculpted and excess fat and skin are removed, while deeper tissues such as muscles and fascia are tightened. This manipulation of the deeper tissues creates more lasting results that are not dependent on the skin alone.
- Neck LiftThis procedure is performed through an inconspicuous incision inside the mouth through which the chin implant is placed. Similarly, for cheek enhancement, the implant is placed through an upper gumline incision. There are no external scars and your facial proportion is more balanced and normal. The results are dramatic and natural-looking whether done alone or with a face or neck lift.
- BlepharoplastyBlepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, is one of the most popular procedures performed by plastic surgeons today. It can dramatically rejuvenate your countenance by removing excess skin around the eyes that causes a “tired” look.
- AbdominoplastySK Clinic of La Jolla, San Diego offers a third breast reconstruction procedure that involves using abdominal tissue to reconstruct the breast mound. This procedure, commonly known as a TRAM (Transverse Rectus Abdominis Myocutoneous) flap procedure, offers two resulting benefits. First, only existing tissue is used to recreate the breast mound, eliminating the need for an implant. Second, the resulting elimination of tissue and fat in the abdominal area provides a similar cosmetic outcome as an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck. The abdominal musculature is tightened and you still can perform all functions. The procedure may be performed immediately after mastectomy or may be delayed. It can be performed as a pedicle flap or as a microscopic “free” flap, a decision that will be determined by Dr. Krant.

- Laser ResurfacingSafety and precision go hand in hand with our professionally administered, highly effective laser treatments, whether performing laser resurfacing or laser hair removal.
- GynecomastiaWith liposuction, the marks of heredity can be readily reshaped. Commonly targeted areas at our San Diego area clinic with liposuction are the hips, buttocks, abdomen, thighs, back/bra-line, arms, knees, and calves. The female breast can also be sculpted via this technique. Men, too may have excess breast tissue (gynecomastia) that creates a chest contour that is too full. This can make them extremely self-conscious deterring them from being shirtless at the beach, in the locker room, or even at home. The male breast area can be sculpted with tiny incisions, relieving what many men consider a deformity.

- Chin AugmentationIf you feel your chin is too small, receding, or disproportionate to your face, thereby overemphasizing your nose and diminishing the “strength” of your appearance, you may want to consider chin augmentation.
- Skin Cancer“I had a small basil cell melanoma growth that was removed from my nose. The resulting hole required reconstructive surgery done by another surgeon. I went to Dr Krant a year later to fix the poor result I had received.
