General Practitioners

• Medical Weight Loss
  A full medical history is necessary prior to your surgery, including a full weight loss history, prior surgeries, and the length of time that your weight has been stable. If you are continuing to lose weight, it may be appropriate to delay surgery until your weight has stabilized for 6 months, in order to maximize the surgical result. The medical history and evaluation ensure that anesthesia and the stresses of the surgery are safely tolerated. If you have significant medical problems, a consultation with other specialists may be required before surgery to obtain preoperative clearance. You will also require specific laboratory tests.
• Primary Care
  Most people are simply born with one or both nipples inverted, either part of the time or at all times. Other causes can include trauma or scarring, infections, or, in very rare cases, breast cancer. Many women, particularly if it is their first child, experience inverted nipples during pregnancy, and this effect often has no bearing on the woman’s health or ability to breastfeed. If your nipples were previously extending outward and became inverted suddenly or over time, and you are not pregnant, you may wish to discuss this symptom with your primary care physician.
• Electrocardiogram
  Depending on your physical condition and medical history, you may be required to undergo a mammogram prior to breast reduction surgery. Other testing, such as an electrocardiogram, chest X-rays, or another preoperative evaluation, may also be requested. Laboratory work will need to be completed prior to surgery, to ensure that you are not anemic. Our medical team will ensure that you receive proper instructions on how to prepare for surgery, including information on eating, drinking, smoking, and taking medications and/or herbal supplements. As this is an outpatient surgery, you will need to arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, and you may need assistance at home for several days afterwards.

Gynecologists

• Pregnancy
• Labor and Delivery
  We encourage women to wait until they’ve finished building their families before considering having tummy tuck surgery. This procedure does not limit your ability to become pregnant or give birth; however, many of the concerns that are treated by a tummy tuck may re-develop as a result of childbirth.

Internists

• Testicular Cancer
  Obesity is the most common cause of gynecomastia and breast enlargement in men, however, changes in hormone levels, rising estrogen levels (the female hormone), or low testosterone levels, as well as certain diseases like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, liver disease, kidney disease, cirrhosis, and thyroid disease can also cause gynecomastia. The condition can also be caused by certain syndromes, including Klinefelter syndrome, hyperthyroidism, hypogonadism, tumors of the testes, adrenal, or pituitary glands, genetic disorders, or as a side effect of medications like certain inhibitors, spironolactone, calcium channel blockers, diazepam (Valium), cimetidine (Tagamet), anti-androgens, and tricyclic antidepressants, anabolic steroid use, marijuana use, as well as herbals like tea tree oil and illegal drugs like amphetamines and can also cause gynecomastia.

• Ultrasound
  Firm and restore skin with our energy-based skin tightening treatments. Using radiofrequency and ultrasound energy, we can stimulate collagen and elastin production noninvasively with beautiful results.
• MRI
  Mammograms can be effectively performed on breasts with implants, including both saline and silicone styles. A highly qualified radiologist will adjust the technique to provide the best care. In some cases, the breast implant may obstruct the view of the breast tissue, in which case an MRI may be recommended instead. Always be sure and inform your radiologist that you have implants prior to your mammogram so they can be properly prepared for your visit.
• X-Rays

Surgeons

• General Surgery
  As a native of Southern California, Dr. Sohn graduated with honors from Stanford University, where he majored in Biological Sciences. He then earned his MD from the highly respected Medical College of Virginia, in Richmond, where he was awarded numerous scholarships for academic excellence. Dr. Sohn then completed his General Surgery and Plastic Surgery training at the oldest, most established, and highly regarded community-based plastic surgery program in the nation, at GRMERC/Michigan State University. An interest in cosmetic surgery led him to the prestigious New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, where he was invited to further hone his skills as a Fellow in Aesthetic Surgery. While in New York, he had the opportunity to work with some of America’s top plastic surgeons, perfecting his techniques in breast surgery, body liposculpture, and facial rejuvenation.
• Wound Care
  Dr. Sohn performed a Brachioplasty and Tummy Tuck on me in July, 2016. I initially sought out Dr. Sohn for the arm lift but added the tummy tuck at the last minute. I've researched dozens of doctors and though Dr. Sohn didn't have many before/after galleries of arm lifts, I chose him because of the great reviews from previous patients, his demeanor during our consult and his excellent professional credentials. Dr. Sohn was forthright about what my expectations should be, answered all of my questions and gave me a clear explanation of both procedures. My surgeries were the arm lift, tummy tuck and lipo to my flanks and bra line. Best decision I ever made! I am so happy with my results. He completely transformed my body. To be able to wear tank tops for the first time in my life is so liberating. Dr. Sohn really cares about his patients and went out his way to aid in my recovery to ensure that I had the best results in healing and wound care. He attends every follow up visit and answers any and all questions, never making you feel rushed. I would recommend Dr. Sohn to anyone needing cosmetic procedures.
• Ear Surgery
  The recovery experience following ear surgery will depend largely on the technique used during the procedure. In most cases, downtime should be minimal. Older children and adults should be able to return to work within a few days. Younger children, however, may need a few extra days to recover. It’s important for young patients to understand that the ears will be healing for a while, and they should be monitored during play to avoid the risk of injury. A headband may be worn during the daytime for up to a week, and at night for several weeks, to help preserve the results. Any further instructions pertinent to your unique experience will be provided during your consultation and at follow-up appointments.

• Reconstructive Surgery
  Calf implants are a type of prosthesis made from medical-grade solid silicone or silicone gel and are available in different shapes and sizes. Calf augmentation surgery using calf implants can enhance the appearance of the calf muscle and create a better proportion in the legs. Calf implants can also be used in reconstructive surgery for patients who suffer from diminished calf muscles due to a health condition or as a result of an injury. At your consultation appointment for calf augmentation surgery, your plastic surgeon will explain the options for different sizes of calf implants.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  Yes, many of our patients choose to combine buccal fat removal with other facial rejuvenation treatments such as wrinkle reducing neurotoxin injections like Botox and Dysport, dermal fillers, and laser skin resurfacing and tightening treatments.
• Brow Lift
  Las Vegas Brow Lift Specialists Dr. W. Tracy Hankins and Dr. Samuel M. Sohn, our Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, perform traditional and endoscopic brow lifts for men and women. If you’re considering this procedure, we can help you determine if an eyebrow lift is right for you and create a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs, bring balance to your facial features, and help you look refreshed and rejuvenated.
• Eyelid Surgery
  Loose skin on the eyelids can make you appear tired, grumpy, or older than your age. This unwanted tissue can even impair vision if it becomes severe. Refresh and revitalize the eye area with eyelid surgery from our practice.
• Liposuction
  Targeted fat reduction can help you achieve the body contour you’ve always desired, particularly if diet and exercise have proven ineffective on specific areas. Our Las Vegas liposuction specialists offer a variety of liposuction options at our state-of-the-art practice. To provide you with the best care and results possible, board-certified surgeons Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn are trained in the most advanced techniques available, including ultrasonic-assisted liposuction (UAL) and laser lipolysis.
• Breast Augmentation
  Enhancing the size and shape of the breasts can provide a wide range of benefits. This is part of the reason why breast augmentation is such a popular procedure. For some women, however, breast enlargement alone will not be enough to achieve the desired outcome. In the event the breast tissue has signs of ptosis (drooping), breast augmentation and mastopexy may be a better option.
• Breast Reduction
  Overly large breasts can cause a number of different medical problems, including neck and back pain, skin rashes and irritation, shoulder grooving from bra support straps, breathing problems, and issues with posture. In addition, there may be associated psychological issues that affect one’s self-image and self-esteem. The breast reduction procedure is designed to alleviate these problems by removing excess breast tissue, providing physical relief, improving the aesthetic appearance of the breasts and overall quality of life.
• Breast Lift
  After baby, many changes have occured on the body. Restore your post-pregnancy appearance by customizing a selection of procedures to best suit your needs. Breast lift and tummy tuck are the most common options, but we will tailor the program to your desired outcome.
• Rhinoplasty
  If you would like to learn more about rhinoplasty, contact our practice today. Our friendly and knowledgeable medical team can answer your questions and help you to schedule a consultation.
• Breast Reconstruction
  Breast cancer affects women (and some men) of all ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities. Cancer patients with this life-threatening disease often will be treated with a lumpectomy or mastectomy breast cancer treatment, in which breast tissue is removed to reduce the spread of cancer. Many women are naturally concerned with how they will look and feel after having one of these operations and choose to have breast reconstruction. Breast reconstruction surgery can restore the breast, including the nipple and areola, and help women feel whole again. Our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons in Las Vegas are extensively trained in some of the most advanced breast reconstruction techniques. Our breast surgeons also work closely with leading oncologists in the area.
• Plastic Surgery
  Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates is listed among the most reputable and sought after plastic surgery groups in the United States and abroad. Our extensively trained plastic surgeons, Dr. W. Tracy Hankins and Dr. Samuel M. Sohn perform an expansive range of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic and reconstructive treatments, from simple to complex.
• Thigh Lift
  After a thigh lift surgery, patients often say the best result is feeling free to wear slim-cut pants, swimsuits, and other clothing that they previously felt uncomfortable in. Patients also enjoy a more proportionate figure. Scarring from thigh lift surgery is typically very easy to conceal. Our surgeons always place incisions carefully to minimize visible scarring, and caring for your incisions and protecting them from sun exposure will help them fade.
• Face Lift
  If you’re not ready for a full facelift, a facial rejuvenation procedure known as a mini facelift (also known as a limited incision or short scar facelift) can often be an excellent alternative. This procedure is ideal for patients who wish to address mild to moderate sagging skin and other signs of aging to the lower face and involves a shorter recovery period than a traditional facelift.
• Neck Lift
  The surgery typically takes about one hour to complete and can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. This is an outpatient procedure, and you should be able to return home the same day. We recommend that you rest at home for one to two weeks and avoid any strenuous activities, after which you should be able to return to work and social activity. This recovery period may be extended if the browlift was combined with other surgical treatments such as a face and neck lift or eyelid lift. Bruising, swelling, and tenderness are normal, and prescription pain medication will be provided to help manage your discomfort. If your browlift was performed in part to enhance your vision, your insurance may partially cover the cost of treatment. We also offer financing options to help you bring browlift surgery into your budget.
• Blepharoplasty
  Blepharoplasty can be an excellent option for certain patients, but it’s not appropriate for everyone. In some cases, the cause of sagging eyelids may be a heavy brow caused by excess tissue on the forehead. A brow lift may be more effective if our surgeons determine this is the case. We will also evaluate your general health, expectations, and other considerations to identify the ideal treatment for your needs and goals.
• Abdominoplasty
  Abdominoplasty offers a number of different benefits for women, and it can be customized to suit a broad range of needs and goals. Our board-certified plastic surgeons strive to provide discreet, compassionate, and effective treatment based on your expressed concerns.
• Nose Surgery
  Nose surgery is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic enhancement procedures. This technique is designed to enhance the cosmetic appearance of the nose, and can also be used to improve breathing function. Rhinoplasty can modify the size and shape of the nose in many ways, including changing the width of the bridge, addressing humps or bumps, altering the angle of the tip, reducing or expanding the size of the nostrils, and several other features. During your initial consultation, our doctors will discuss your goals and evaluate your needs to develop a customized treatment plan.
• Body Lift
  The circumferential tummy tuck, or lower body lift, is a procedure indicated for individuals who have undergone dramatic weight loss and want to remove excess skin on the flanks, midsection, buttocks, and thighs. During this procedure, an incision is made spanning the circumference of the abdomen to allow the surgeon to tighten skin both above and below the waistline.
• Breast Surgery
  An outpatient procedure, gender affirming breast surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. You should be able to return home the same day after the surgery. Most patients spend about a week or two away from routine activities while they heal. Swelling, tenderness, bruising, and some discomfort is normal, and we will provide prescription medication to help you manage the pain. You should avoid lifting any objects five pounds or heavier for the first two weeks, and you should avoid strenuous exercise and activity for at least a month. Swelling should dramatically subside after a few months, although some residual inflammation will continue for a while. Final results typically will be visible after about a year.
• Otoplasty
  Generally speaking, patients should wait until the ear structures have matured before undergoing otoplasty, which usually occurs by age five or six. While cartilage can continue growing throughout life, the increase in size should be minimal after this point. Besides age, factors that determine candidacy include the desire to change the prominence, shape, or size of the ears. During your initial consultation, you can discuss your goals with our skilled surgeon, who will determine if this approach is right for you.
• Scar Revision
  Dr. Hankins performed my breast augmentation surgery last year and I am very pleased with the results! His staff is so nice and comforting, and he really listened to what I wanted and gave me the perfect results. The only thing I would have wanted is a scar treatment regimen, because I had to have a scar revision procedure on one of my incisions. Other than that, I am absolutely loving my new look!
• Lip Augmentation
  Many patients who come to our Las Vegas plastic surgeons seeking lip augmentation find that upper lip shortening will more effectively help them achieve their goals. Lip augmentation using fillers, implants, or fat transfer can help some patients achieve more voluptuous lips. However, the results may not be permanent and lip augmentation does not alter the placement or positioning of the lips. Upper lip lift surgery is often the most effective option for patients who wish to make their lips appear permanently more youthful and fuller.3
• Body Contouring
  1 Among the options is Brazilian Butt Lift, which is an implant-free approach utilizing fat grafts for buttock enhancement and body contouring. The right technique for you will depend on your desired outcome and anatomic indicators. Our surgeons will be happy to help guide your decision to optimize your results
• Laser Resurfacing

• Gynecomastia
  Excess glandular and fatty tissue in the chest can be a source of embarrassment for men. This condition, called gynecomastia, can be treated using the latest techniques, achieving a natural-looking result that’s flatter and more masculine.
• Cosmetic Surgery
  Upper lip shortening, often referred to as a lip lift, can improve the overall facial appearance by making the mouth look more youthful, pouty, and voluminous. Over time, the loosening of the underlying structures of the face can cause the upper lip to lengthen, or droop and shift downward. This, in conjunction with a decrease in lip volume, also causes reduced exposure of the upper teeth—the hallmark of a youthful smile. An increasingly popular facial cosmetic surgery procedure, the lip lift decreases the distance between the nose and the upper lip to reverse these and other common signs of aging. Upper lip shortening is also often sought by younger patients who desire fuller, better-defined lips.
• Bariatric Surgery
  Excess upper arm tissue, sometimes call “bat wings”, can develop after significant weight loss or bariatric surgery, but may also arise as a result of aging. By removing excess tissue and fat surgically, a slimmer, firmer arm shape can be restored. Our Las Vegas area patients often find that restoring their natural arm shape gives them the confidence to wear sleeveless clothes and gives them greater comfort in wearing clothing with fitted-sleeves.
• Chin Augmentation
  Cosmetic facial surgery can help to diminish the effects of aging. At Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates, we offer an expansive selection of rejuvenating treatments for the face, neck, and skin. Considered some of the best plastic surgeons in Las Vegas, Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn emphasize natural-looking results with both surgical and non-surgical procedures. Furthermore, these techniques often can be combined for more comprehensive enhancement. If you’re considering a facelift, mini facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, brow lift, eyelid lift, chin augmentation, or a combination of these options, we can develop a customized treatment plan with your needs and goals in mind. Additionally, our facial contouring methods, including fat grafting and laser liposuction, may help you achieve the profile you’ve always desired.
