- Arthritis
- Medical Weight LossIt is common to be left with loose stomach muscles after pregnancy or significant weight loss. This loss of tone can lead to a protruding belly, excess skin, or both.
- GynecologyDr. Cooper is a great physician and I am very pleased with my results. My ob-gyn did a breast exam and had to take a closer look to realize that I had a breast reduction. He asked who was my surgeon and said how fantastic of a job she did. I felt great it was a compliment for the both of us. I went into her office dying for my breast to be smaller by any means. I was tired of feeling so uncomfortable in my own skin. I didn’t care what the scarring would look like I just wanted smaller! Dr. Cooper made them smaller and my scars are virtually unnoticeable. It’s been 20 months since and still no sagging. I love the fact that I can wear swimsuits without a bra underneath for support. I feel normal again. Thanks Dr. Cooper!
- Pregnancy
- Labor and DeliveryCombining these procedures is ideal for women who are finished with childbirth since, as previously stated, pregnancy and nursing can produce further changes to your body.
- MRIWe offer our breast augmentation patients a choice of either silicone gel or saline implants, each with their own advantages. Most patients report that silicone gel implants look and feel the most natural of the two types. Although the silicone shell can rupture it maintains its shape and stays in the pocket due to its enhanced cohesiveness, so you will never experience a “flat tire†. Saline implants, on the other hand, are generally less expensive than silicone, their volume of saline can be adjusted during surgery for better symmetry between breasts, and they do not require MRI monitoring for rupture. Instead, if they were to rupture they would slowly deflate over a few days, the change in size alerting their owner that there is a problem requiring surgical replacement.
- General SurgeryIt’s the hot, new cosmetic product that’s in all the magazines. You can’t help but wonder if it’s more effective than the product you’ve been using for years. Wonder no more, because the chances are good that both products are equally ineffective against the incredible effects of time and gravity. The fact is most beauty products exist simply to cover up imperfections. And whereas these “miracles” promise everything under the sun, aesthetic medicine actually delivers.
- BotoxMaybe you’ve noticed them – the lines that have formed over time from the everyday movement of facial muscles. Maybe you’ve wondered if there’s a way that you can reduce these lines that result from a combination of laughing, frowning, squinting, crying and smiling. There is and, thankfully, it doesn’t require that you stop showing emotion. In the New Orleans area, BOTOX® Cosmetic is the most popular non-surgical wrinkle treatment available today.
- Brow LiftRegardless of how you got them – drooping eyebrows, excess eyelid skin, or even weak upper eyelid muscles can give the illusion of tiredness. A board certified Plastic Surgeon like Dr. Cooper, can help you determine exactly which physical changes are contributing to your “tired†look. In New Orleans, a brow lift is helping men and women of all ages to look exactly how they feel – great!
- Eyelid SurgeryIt’s been said that eyes are the window to the soul. As a central feature of the face, they can also be a reflection of the body. Unfortunately, time or genetics can cause the lids that frame the eyes to become tired looking, ultimately lacking the vibrancy most associate with youthfulness while aging you well beyond your years. When this happens, or when sagging and puffiness combine to cause vision related problems, more and more men and women in New Orleans look to eyelid surgery for facial rejuvenation.
- LiposuctionYou’ve watched what you eat and tried to work it off by walking. Maybe, you’ve even thrown away good money on fad exercise equipment that claimed to target certain areas of the body. Either way, you’ve lost most of the extra weight, but have found it all but impossible to drop those last few pounds. It’s not you. Whether located in the chest, arms, abs, hips, buttocks or knees, fat can be removed through liposuction surgery, helping you succeed where diet and exercise have failed.
- Breast AugmentationBreast augmentation is one of the most requested cosmetic procedures at our practice. Dr. Cooper performs this procedure to enhance the size, shape and beauty of a woman’s breasts. Women visit her for breast augmentation in the New Orleans area for a variety of reasons. Some have lost breast fullness after childbearing, breastfeeding or dieting. Others want a more voluptuous fit in clothing. And for many women, a more prominent breast curve can bring proportional balance and a new sensuality to the overall shape of their body.
- Breast ReductionBreast Reduction: Surgical reduction of breast tissue to reduce neck and back pain, shoulder indentations, rashes, and other problems associated with very large breasts. In some instances, insurance companies will reimburse for breast reduction.
- Breast LiftLifting the breasts can make them appear firmer, but rarely makes them look bigger. For this reason, some women choose to maintain or enhance their previous size and fullness by complimenting their breast lift with a breast implant.
- Breast ReconstructionIn addition to operating a thriving private practice, Dr. Cooper has published and presented research on various topics including Breast Reconstruction, Breast Augmentation, Basal Joint Arthritis and Perforator Free Flap Reconstruction.

- Thigh LiftInner Thigh Lift: Also known as medial thighplasty, dramatically improves the look of the legs by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure creates a thigh gap and stops the chaffing of inner thighs rubbing together..
- Face LiftRecent procedural breakthroughs in rhytidectomy, or facelift surgery provide improved, more natural results with less scarring. A face lift using the short scar technique, also known as a mini-facelift, will not leave patients with a stretched or “operated on” look. You’ll appear more youthful and well-rested, but your face will retain every subtle nuance of personality that loved ones recognize as uniquely you.
- Neck LiftNeck Lift: Also known as a platysmaplasty, is performed with hidden incisions at the ear and in some patients below the chin, to tighten the platysma muscle of the neck strengthening the neck and jaw line and removing jowling. Often combined with the facelift package, can also be done by itself for younger patients needing only neck rejuvenation.
- BlepharoplastyDr. Cooper will ask you about the precise changes you desire, discuss incision size and location, as well as the risks and benefits associated with a blepharoplasty. With this information, you and Dr. Cooper will be able to determine the procedural strategies that will best meet your expectations.

- Body LiftDr. Cooper will ask you about the physical changes you desire, discuss incision length and location, as well as the risks and benefits associated with a body lift. With this information, you and Dr. Cooper will be able to determine the procedural strategies that will best meet your expectations. While every surgical skin excision requires a scar, all efforts are made to keep the scars as hidden as possible.
- Breast SurgeryThey never gave up on New Orleans and went on to build the first new surgical hospital in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, St. Charles Surgical Hospital. This particular hospital is the first in the United States dedicated solely to improving patient outcomes, the quality of breast reconstructions, and patient experience. Along with Dr. Cooper’s busy cosmetic practice, she is involved in the second stages of surgical transformation for many of Dr. Sullivan’s breast cancer patients at SCSH and The Center for Restorative Breast Surgery.
- Lip AugmentationCelebrities are famous for all sorts of things – good and bad – but rarely, if at all, is one known for his or her thin, flat lips. Of course, not everyone is blessed with voluptuous lips. And, unfortunately, lips become even less flattering with age – corners droop, wrinkles form, and the upper lip flattens. So, how do they do it? How does that “pretty woman” keep such kissable lips? Maybe, she’s just lucky. Maybe, she simply knows something you don’t. From LA to the Big Easy to the Big Apple, when it comes to the lips, thin is definitely not in. Thankfully, the secret of how to attain such sensual lips is out, especially here in New Orleans – lip augmentation.
- Body ContouringCome see why so many New Orleans, Gulf Coast, Mandeville and Slidell area men and women trust Dr. Cooper to achieve their most beautifully enhanced selves. Request your body contouring consultation today.
- Cosmetic SurgeryBreast Enhancement: Pregnancy, breastfeeding, diet and exercise, time and genetics can all affect the appearance of breasts. Are yours too small? Too large? Can they be better proportioned? If you’ve lost fullness, desire a more voluptuous contour, seek better balance, or wish to reduce the physical size that causes pain, cosmetic surgery near New Orleans can help.
- Bariatric SurgeryLosing weight is supposed to make you look and feel great and, usually, it does. Unfortunately, for some too much of a good thing can become a bad thing as their fat loss results in saggy skin that is uncomfortable and impossible to rectify without surgery. Whether drastic weight loss is the result of a healthier lifestyle or bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve), the men and women of New Orleans have discovered that a body lift can significantly improve their quality of life.
- Chin AugmentationRhytidectomy does not treat the upper portion of the face. Droopy eyelids, sunken eyebrows, crow’s feet, or forehead wrinkles may require that your face lift be performed in conjunction with a second procedure. Many patients in the New Orleans area combine their short scar facelift with eyelid surgery, brow lift, chin augmentation, lip augmentation or facial fat grafting.
- Forehead LiftBrow Lift: Also known as a forehead lift, this is used to raise sagging eyebrows and correct brow asymmetry. This procedures helps to unload the brow off the upper lid, giving a refreshed well rested appearance.
- Chemical PeelsChemical Peels: Used for thousands of years for the controlled shedding of dead or damaged skin on the neck, chest, arms and hands. Treats wrinkles, freckles, large pores, small bumps (comedones) and uneven pigmentation. Effective on all skin colors.
- Rashes
- Skin CareOver-the-counter cosmetics are great... for temporarily enhancing facial features. But, most beauty products that one might purchase at a big box retailer or even at a high-end boutique exist simply to cover up rather than to actually correct imperfections. And unfortunately, over time, the ability to cover up becomes increasingly difficult. Medical spa services offer men and women professional, prescription strength skin care in New Orleans. It’s the difference between skin that looks healthy and skin that looks and is healthy.
