The improvement is subtle, but lasts a lifetime and quite often helps the patient feel more self-confident about his or her appearance. In addition to ear pinning and ear reshaping, our Sarasota office also assists patients who require earlobe repair due to heavy earrings or even gauges.

Our Sarasota plastic surgeons perform breast reduction surgery to help such women. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to give the woman smaller, better-shaped, lifted breasts that are in proportion with the rest of her body. Breast reduction surgery can provide a woman with self-confidence and helps to alleviate many symptoms.

- Nose Surgery
- Body LiftThe lower body lift procedure is performed with general anesthesia and requires an overnight stay in a hospital or surgical facility. Due to its nature, a spinal anesthesia may also be administered. The surgery lasts from 5 to 8 hours depending on the number of procedures performed. Patients who have a lower body lift will experience a slow recovery process. Aside from extensive incisions, the body and skin need adequate time to adjust to their new positions created by the surgery. Most patients will need 2-3 weeks before returning to a light routine. It can take up to a full year for the final results of this surgery to appear.
- Breast SurgeryRegardless of the corrective procedure that is chosen, it will be performed under general anesthesia at our surgical facility. The recovery period varies depending on the surgical approach taken. In general following breast surgery, patients are able to get up and around but must limit activity for a couple of days. Most patients are back to a normal routine within 7-10 days and exercise will be gradual at about 3-6 weeks. Results following breast surgery to correct asymmetry are gratifying for most patients and can help bring back self-confidence, especially when wearing tighter fitting clothes.
- OtoplastyThe ears typically mature faster than any other part of the body, therefore, at an appropriate age and time when surgical adjustments are made, the results are generally long lasting. Even as the body changes due to age and gravity, the changes to the ear will be minimal and a secondary otoplasty is usually not needed.
- Lip AugmentationLip augmentation performed correctly should not look fake or altered, but rather enhance or restore the beauty of the lips.
- Body ContouringA butt lift is recommended for those who are close to or at their goal weight. When there is a significant weight gain after this surgery, the surgical results can be compromised. Similar to any body contouring procedure where the shape and contour of the body is enhanced, adhering to a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and regular exercise will help maintain the results for years.
- Laser ResurfacingThere are two types of laser skin resurfacing: the CO2 and Erbium lasers. CO2 laser resurfacing is the most popular type in this procedure. It is an ablative method which wounds the epidermis to give way for new skin growth and improve collagen development. The intensity of the laser beams with CO2 is high. Erbium, on the other hand, is a more gentle procedure that only removes superficial skin layers so the recovery period is quicker. Depending on the patient’s skin condition and aesthetic goals, our skilled cosmetic surgeons will recommend the laser that is more suitable for the patient to render better results.
- GynecomastiaMild cases of gynecomastia are corrected with liposuction. Small incisions are made surrounding the areola where suction cannulas are inserted to extract fat and breast tissues. When the enlargement is severe, a longer incision is done to excise breast tissues and loose skin. Skin tightening may also be incorporated and the nipples repositioned so that they are proportional to the new chest shape.
- Cosmetic SurgeryAlthough most patients who are seeking cosmetic surgery have an idea of what procedure they may be most interested in having, they usually have numerous questions related to the procedure. For the benefit of our current and future cosmetic plastic surgery patients in Sarasota, FL, we have put together a list of the most frequently asked questions that patients have regarding each of the common procedure categories.
- Chin AugmentationDuring chin augmentation, the implant is positioned over the bone below the lips. A pocket is created, which will hold the prosthesis in place. Sometimes the bone is shaved to create a groove for the implant. Incisions are commonly placed in two areas that can easily conceal scars – on the underside of the chin or inside the lip, just between where the lower lip meets the gum. The results after this procedure are almost always positive for patients. An experienced surgeon will create subtle results, yet dramatic enough to make a significant improvement to a person’s self-esteem.
- Forehead LiftA brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a procedure to improve the appearance of the forehead. It addresses sagging brows, forehead wrinkling, and changes in brow shape and position due to aging. You may want to consider brow lift surgery if age-related changes in your upper face cause you to look tired or sad. There are several types of brow lift surgery available, allowing your surgeon to customize your procedure to specifically target your aesthetic concerns.
- Skin CancerAlthough patients will not be as sensitive to sun exposure as one might think after undergoing the IPL, going out under the sun must be a limited activity especially in between treatments. Doing so may significantly affect the outcome and may cause complications. Sunblock must be regularly applied. This also helps in minimizing possible recurring skin issues like sun spots, wrinkles and skin cancer.
- Acne Treatment
- LesionsPhoto rejuvenation is a non-invasive procedure. With IPL, Kimberly Dearden, CME, LME utilizes pulses of light strong enough to damage skin lesions and initiates a healing process that will start production of new skin tissues. Typically, cold gel is applied on the skin to help with any discomfort. The eyes are also protected from the intense light. The treatment may only last less than 30 minutes as extended exposure to the laser may cause complications. Patients are able to return to their normal routine after a few hours.

There are different degrees of peels, ranging from mild to medium, that can be used depending on the patient’s cosmetic goals and their skin condition prior to treatment.
