General Practitioners

• Medical Weight Loss
  A Brazilian butt lift procedure is able to help patients looking to achieve a rounder, fuller, more pronounced rear. This technique is able to add volume and perkiness to the buttocks. However, it cannot address excess skin. For patients suffering from considerable drooping tissue, especially after significant weight loss, a traditional butt lift may be more appropriate. Candidates must also have enough fat to graft to the buttocks, and be able to sustain their weight. Ideal candidates are typically 20 to 30 pounds over their ideal weight. Additionally, patients should be in good general health, and not smoke or drink to excess, as these habits can decrease your ability to heal after surgery.
• Urinary Incontinence
  Urinary incontinence, also known as loss of bladder control, is a common problem amongst men and women. Research shows that at least half of older women are affected by incontinence. Incontinence can be incredibly embarrassing, striking at work, while you exercise, or during a social event.

  Vaginal laxity is a common condition that is typically caused by childbirth, lifestyle, genetics, and aging. As we mentioned earlier, vaginal laxity occurs when collagen weakens, causing your vaginal tissue to lose strength, shape, and tightness and leading to a loose feeling. Many women suffer from vaginal laxity, and many report that it reduces their sexual satisfaction, along with their partners. Fortunately, Viveve™ can help treat your vaginal laxity on a cellular level in about 30 minutes without anesthesia or downtime.

• Ultrasound
  When you arrive at our office for your Ultherapy® treatment, we will begin by carefully cleaning your skin and applying a thin layer of gel. This solution is designed to increase the effectiveness of the ultrasound therapy. Once your skin has been prepared, the technician will use ultrasound imaging to gain a clear picture of the deeper layers of your skin. Using this information, we can customize the procedure by determining the most appropriate areas to target for treatment. Each visit will typically last between 60-90 minutes, during which time you may experience some very slight discomfort. We recommend that our patients undergo at least three Ultherapy® sessions so that they can achieve the best aesthetic outcome.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  As an assistant to Dr. Metzinger in the operating room, I feel so confidant in his work, that I would trust my face and/or body with him. I suggest him to other people when they question me about my knowledge with Botox, fillers and the more invasive approach, surgery. I've watched women and men blossom after just a simple swipe of a syringe or scalpel. Dr. Metzinger makes his patients feel comfortable and he breaks the procedure and post-op down so there is no confusion on what to expect. He's funny, approachable, knowledgeable and great at what he does!
• Brow Lift
  Aging, wrinkled, sagging brows can make you appear sad or angry. To help you enjoy a more youthful, calm look, Dr. Metzinger can perform a brow lift. For patients with less dramatic wrinkles or sagging, he can perform a lateral, or mini, lift with a smaller incision across the forehead.
• Eyelid Surgery
  We provide a full suite of facial plastic surgery, body contouring, and breast enhancement procedures to meet all of your cosmetic plastic surgery needs. If you want to diminish wrinkles on the brow, Dr. Metzinger may recommend a brow lift, which he can perform using some of the latest endoscopic technologies for minimal scarring and excellent results. He can also help brighten your eyes and improve your vision with blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, to reduce sagging and wrinkles. He has even published a scholarly article describing new techniques for this type of surgery. We also use five different types of liposuction to remove unwanted fat tissue, which we can then purify and use to augment other areas of your body. Women who want a more youthful, perky bosom can benefit from a breast lift, which may be combined with breast augmentation or reduction for a more proportional figure.
• Liposuction
  Brazilian butt lifts are essentially two procedures in one, as the fat that is injected is first harvested through liposuction. Both steps can be performed under local anesthesia, but Dr. Metzinger may recommend general anesthesia or sedation for more extensive fat removal, or if you are anxious about the procedure.
• Breast Augmentation
  Patients who want a larger, more proportional chest may benefit from breast augmentation. Dr. Stephen Eric Metzinger uses Mentor®, Allergan Natrelle® saline, and silicone implants to enlarge your breasts.
• Breast Reduction
  Having excessively heavy breasts can make you self-conscious about your appearance and cause health problems such as muscle pain, irritation from bra straps, rashes, and skin irritation. Dr. Metzinger can perform breast reduction surgery to relieve these symptoms while enhancing your look.
• Breast Lift
  If your breasts are stretched, sagging, or asymmetrical due to nursing, pregnancy, aging, or weight fluctuation, Dr. Metzinger can perform breast lift surgery to correct this condition. He can also combine this procedure with breast augmentation or reduction, depending on your needs and preferences.
• Rhinoplasty
  Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed procedures at our office. If your nose is bulbous, disproportionate to your face, or shaped in a way that prevents you from breathing properly, a rhinoplasty can enhance the balance of your features and allow you to breathe more easily.
• Breast Reconstruction
  If you have had to undergo a mastectomy to treat breast cancer or another condition, Dr. Metzinger can restore the appearance of your bust with breast reconstruction. He will customize this procedure to meet your unique needs and desired results.
• Plastic Surgery
  When scheduling your consultation, we understand that time is of the essence. If there are specific time constraints, please inform the scheduler. We may be able to offer you a vacancy created by patient rescheduling. Most patients who are willing to work with us can see our doctor within a reasonable time frame. For peace of mind, you should know that Dr. Metzinger is an award-winning plastic surgeon and has become internationally recognized for his work in cosmetic plastic surgery.
• Thigh Lift
  If you struggle with excess skin or fat on your thighs, Dr. Metzinger can give your legs a more athletic, youthful appearance with a thigh lift. He will individually tailor your surgery, which can refine the inner region of the thigh, the front of your legs, or your upper thigh.
• Face Lift
  Dr. Stephen Eric Metzinger performs standard facelifts, as well as three advanced techniques to meet each patient’s unique needs. If you have only mild to moderate wrinkles, he may recommend a mini facelift, which requires small or endoscopic incisions made with tiny instruments.
• Blepharoplasty
  Depending on the condition of your eyelid and your desired results, Dr. Metzinger will perform either a transcutaneous or transconjunctival blepharoplasty. During a transcutaneous blepharoplasty, he will make a small incision either above or below your lashes to remove excess skin, fat, and tissue before pulling the skin so it is smooth. Finally, he will suture the incision closed.
• Abdominoplasty
  Sometimes, healthy nutrition and exercise aren’t enough to firm your abdomen if you have stretched skin or stubborn excess fat from dramatic weight loss or pregnancy. Dr. Metzinger can use abdominoplasty to tighten your underlying tissue and remove unwanted skin and fat from your midsection.
• Nose Surgery
• Body Lift
  Even if you have lost a substantial amount of weight, you might not feel like your appearance reflects your new healthier lifestyle. Dr. Metzinger offers comprehensive body lifts to help patients with excess skin and fat, and can lift and tighten the groin, thighs, abdomen, or buttocks.

• Body Contouring
  Brazilian butt lifts have helped both men and women achieve a more proportionate and sensuous butt, and improve their overall figure in the process. This natural approach to body contouring can restore a youthful look and help you achieve the perky rear you have always wanted. To talk with Dr. Metzinger about your candidacy for a Brazilian butt lift, contact us today for a consultation.
• Cosmetic Surgery
  If you feel that the texture or appearance of the skin on your face leaves something to be desired, you may not necessarily want to rely on layers of heavy cosmetics to try and cover any imperfections. Fortunately, there is a range of cosmetic procedures that can rejuvenate your facial skin, helping it to look smoother, younger, and more attractive than before. Micro-needling is one of the newest and most innovative cosmetic techniques available that can be used to target a number of different skin-based issues.
