- Medical Weight LossLiposculpture or liposuction allows the surgeon to remove excess fatty deposits from specific areas of the body. For example, it can slim your hips and thighs, flatten your abdomen, reshape your waist, or eliminate a double chin. Liposuction is suitable for men and women who have isolated areas of fat that causes their body to appear disproportionate. These areas typically do not respond to diet and exercise and can be frustrating for those who tried. Liposuction can also be suitable for those men and women who are ready to change their lifestyle with healthy living but need a jump start with improvement of their general appearance. The change will bring encouragement and allow increase level of activities to facilitate the weight loss.

- Brow LiftAn eyelid surgery is a procedure to remove the sagging upper and/or lower eyelids. Many patients are unhappy with bagginess along the upper eyelid and puffiness below the lower eyelid. Aging changes the upper eyelid by drooping down the upper eyelid below the eye lens margin. You may lose the normal crease just above the eyelid leading to the baggy, tired look. This procedure may be performed in conjunction with a brow lift if the eyebrow has descended enough to contribute to the problem. The lower eyelid surgery emphasizes removal of the excess fatty tissue and skin. The external incisions are usually hidden just below the eye lashes if only excess skin needs to be removed. Others who need excess fat removed will have an incision hidden on the inside of the eyelids.
- Eyelid SurgeryIncisions are hidden in the temple hairline and around the ears. This makes it so clients scars are hidden when their hair is pulled up. Other procedures are often combined with a face and neck lift such as fat transfer to the face to restore volume, chin implant or chin reshaping (mentoplasty), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift surgery, and Platysmaplasty( tightening of the neck muscles).
- LiposuctionTumescent liposuction is now widely performed in the office. After the skin is numbed, a large volume of diluted anesthetic fluid is delivered into the subcutaneous fat. The diluted fluid has anesthetics and constricts capillaries to minimize bleeding during surgery. It also provides fluid to the body so that IV fluid is not needed. This method allows liposuction totally by local anesthesia and eliminates the risks of general anesthesia because tumescent local anesthesia lasts so long. Tumescent liposuction is a lot less painful and more pleasant than the old liposuction technique. Smoother liposuction can be now achieved with microcannulas which allow a gradual and more controlled removal of fat. This allows the surgeon to provide smoother and more satisfying results.
- Breast AugmentationBreast Augmentation is one of the most rewarding cosmetic procedures for both the patient and cosmetic surgeon. Implants can be placed to augment the contour of one’s native breast tissue and for enhancing the shape and volume of the female breast. Today’s modern techniques includes weekend recovery and back to office work the following week is even possible in most cases.
- Breast ReductionMy experience with Dr Hah and his staff was amazing. I have honestly never been as comfortable with a Dr and his staff as I was with them. Dr Hah was very professional and took his time explaining everything. I had no scars on breast and no traditional incisions which allows precise liposculpture removal of unwanted breast volume…..back to work in 2 days……very affordable, half price of a traditional open breast reduction. I am extremely satisfied and already planning what i want to do next. I highly recommend this procedure…
- Breast LiftBreast Lifting. Some of our breast lifting patients add breast implants to enhance their superior breast pole fullness. What we are gaining with breast lifting is a better breast shape, as well as a higher nipple position. The cost for that improvement in shape are the incisions on the breast. If a woman has significant breast ptosis or breast droop, a breast lift may be required to get a more pleasing breast shape as well as a higher position. This situation often presents after having children and breast feeding. Although a more technical challenging procedure, combining a breast implant with a breast lift in some of these clients can be very satisfying to both the surgeon and client.
- RhinoplastySome people are unhappy with the noses that they were given while others may have injured and distorted their noses at one point or another. Nothing has greater impact on how a person looks than the size and shape of the nose. Rhinoplasty not only improves your looks but also your self-confidence. The surgeon will examine the structure of your nose, both externally and internally, to evaluate what you can expect from rhinoplasty. Reshaping of the nose requires a good understanding between the surgeon and the patient to achieve realistic expectations and pleasing results.
- Plastic SurgeryIn 2015-2016 Dr. Hah was invited by Dr. Edward Moreano (Plastic Surgeon from New York) to be on the surgical team of The Moreano World Medical Mission.

Dr. Hah and Dr. Moreano also taught the local medical students and physicians on plastic surgery techniques. By performing multiple plastic and reconstructive surgeries during the medical missions, we were grateful to have had the opportunity to help the lovely people of the Dominican Republic.

- Neck LiftThread Lift is the minimally invasive approach to the sagging skin as seen with eyebrows, brows, cheeks, or drooping mid and lower face. With aging, our skin loses the collagen and elasticity resulting in sagging, deep creases, folds and wrinkles. Thread Lift provides an ideal, scar-free solution to gently lift the patient’s own tissue without the incisions and trauma of the traditional face, brow, or neck lift surgery. Contour Threads are the first non-absorbable barbed sutures cleared by the FDA. The tiny barbs on each thread opens in an umbrella-like fashion to form a support structure that gently lifts sagging tissues. Once in position, your body generates new collagen bundles that encapsulates each thread to help maintain the elevation or lifting effect.
- Blepharoplasty
- AbdominoplastyFor our clients who have extra skin from weight loss or after children, a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty may be the procedure of choice. The Classic Abdominoplasty is used surgically remove the extra skin, and, If needed, the underlying muscle separation can be repaired. If the client has significant residual fatty tissue in the abdominal areas as well, she may can benefit from the advanced lipoabdominoplasty. Lipoabdominoplasty or Lipo-tummy tuck allows for liposuction for shape enhancement and removal excess skin, as well as a quicker recovery than traditional abdominoplasy. For patients who have a lot of extra skin, a extended abdominoplasty may be required. This technique has advantage of quicker recovery. Most of our clients are off of work for about 7 days.

- Breast SurgeryThe transumbilical technique uses the belly button as the only natural hidden incision. Many of these girls often go back to office type work in 2 to 3 days. Unlike its inception 20 years ago, this advanced minimal invasive quick recovery transumbilical approach can place the implants precisely and accurately below the pectoralis major “muscle.” After Dr. Cheski pioneered these techniques, he built his practice into the busiest cosmetic breast surgery practice in southern California. He performed over 10,000 transumbilical breast augmentations, including many models and actresses. Dr. Hah felt very privileged to be the last cosmetic breast surgery fellow Dr. Cheski trained in Beverly Hills, CA. Dr. Hah and the other members of Amercian Society of Cosmetic Breast Society are extremely grateful to Dr. Cheski for his selfless support and advancements to our field of cosmetic breast surgery.

- Chin AugmentationA well-defined chin helps to give a balance to the face and improves one’s profile. This can also be a surprising impact on the appearance of the nose. It is common for the facial plastic surgeon to recommend chin augmentation when it is necessary to achieve facial balance and harmony. A pleasing, balanced profile can be achieved by inserting an implant to build up a receding chin. This procedure is often performed with liposuction to remove the excess fatty tissue and to redefine the chin and the neckline. Together, the surgery can improve the form and function of the lower face and greatly enhance one’s appearance.

- Chemical PeelsChemical peels have been used for over 100 years to removed the dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new skin cells. A chemical peel uses a solution to create a controlled shedding of damaged skin cells from the sun and aging. The peels can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands and even the arms and legs. They can effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, shallow acne scars, freckling, and better control of acne. There are different degree of peels that can be performed depending on you skin type and the desired results. During your consultation, you and the physician will discuss your skin type and determine if you are a good candidate for the peel. Unlike the photorejuvenation performed by the IPL, chemical peels usually will cause redness, swelling, browning, and scaling which can last from 7 to 14 days. So, some downtime will need to be anticipated. Generally, the deeper the peel, the longer the recovery.
