- Medical Weight LossWhile a tummy tuck can give you a leaner, firmer stomach, it is not a substitute for weight loss or proper exercise. The results of a tummy tuck are permanent but can be greatly diminished with substantial weight fluctuations, so if you are planning on a future pregnancy, you may want to postpone your procedure. Also, a tummy tuck cannot correct stretch marks, though these may be removed or improved if they happen to be located on the skin that will be excised.

- BotoxBOTOX®, a controlled bacterial toxin, is a paralyzing agent injected into muscles to reduce motion. By limiting wrinkle-producing activity, BOTOX® gives the skin a smoother appearance. Our patients find that BOTOX® works extremely well for horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows, and “crow’s feet” around the eyes.
- Brow LiftAs we age, skin throughout our face can change in many ways. It can lose muscle tone, gain unsightly waddle, become limper, and may begin to sag or droop. This can be hard to ignore, possibly even giving others the impression that we’re tired, angry, frowning, or in other ways disapproving—even if we’re not. Luckily, there’s an easy procedure that can help. A brow lift is a great way to raise low or heavy brows that may have dropped due to age, heredity, or other reasons.
- Eyelid SurgeryEyelid Surgery can be a simple way to achieve a younger-looking appearance and allow the years to fade away. The surgery works by firming the skin around the eyes, removing bags, and correcting drooping eyelids.
- LiposuctionLiposuction (lipoplasty) is a surgical procedure that eliminates excess fat from under the skin. Where diet and exercise can only shrink fat cells, liposuction actually removes them. During a liposuction procedure, a plastic surgeon inserts a small, hollow tube into the area of concern, targeting unwanted fat between the skin and muscle tissue. Excess fat cells are then suctioned out, leaving behind a slimmer, more contoured shape. As one of the most popular cosmetic procedures among men and women for contouring the body, liposuction can produce immediate results that will remain permanent as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
- Breast AugmentationPatients can achieve their body image goals with a surgical procedure that enhances both the size and shape of their breasts.

- Thigh LiftSurgical body lift procedures vertically tighten skin through the use of extensive incisions. After administering anesthesia for your comfort, the surgeon at Island Plastic Surgery will make a thin incision around the entire waist and remove an apron of excess skin and fat. The remaining skin will then be vertically pulled up or down to reposition and tighten the tissue. A body lift may also include an upper arm lift, thigh lift, breast lift, or facelift. Liposuction may help achieve improved body contours. Once all excess skin and fatty tissue have been removed, the surgeon with suture up the incisions and apply dressings and bandages.
- Face LiftA facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that can improve the overall appearance and visible aging signs in your face and neck. Over time, exposure to the sun, loss of elastic tissue as you get older, and daily life stress can take a toll on your face. Deep creases start to develop, loose skin starts to sag, and jowls start to form in the neck area. The aging process doesn’t only affect your skin, but also the deeper underlying structures, like fat and muscle.

- AbdominoplastyA tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure for men and women that involves removing excess skin and fat from the stomach. In many cases, the surgeon will also tighten the abdominal muscles with sutures to produce a tauter, more youthful stomach.
- Nose SurgeryThe same process that can improve your appearance is also used for medical reasons. It can correct birth defects, correct damage from an accident, or help relieve breathing problems due to a deviated septum. Don’t be hard on yourself every time you look in the mirror or let unpleasant medical symptoms linger; take a step to do something about it. Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, can enhance your appearance and help you feel great.
- Body LiftSince a body lift is a major surgical procedure, it does require a significant recovery time. You may spend 1-3 nights in the hospital and have drainage tubes to help reduce swelling and remove excess blood and fluids. These tubes may need up to 2 weeks of personal home care. Surgical dressings are usually removed after 2 days, but you will most likely need to wear medical compression garments to minimize swelling, support the skin, and promote the healing process. You can return to work after 3-4 weeks and most patients are released for full activity within 5-6 weeks. The swelling may take a while to dissipate, but your results will continue to improve for up to 2 years post-surgery.
