• Medical Weight Loss
  In addition, any localized pockets of fat in the upper arm region may be reduced through brachioplasty, most commonly in conjunction with liposuction techniques. The conditions treated with brachioplasty may develop in both men and women most often due to a loss of elasticity in the skin and underlying tissue of the upper arm. This may be the result of significant weight loss and skin that has been so stretched it loses the ability to retract. Conditions may also result from the natural changes that occur with aging, heredity or a combination of these conditions.

Gynecologists

• Labor and Delivery
  Whether extra large or misshapen labia is caused by genetics, childbirth or changes in age or weight, women choose labiaplasty for a variety of reasons. In some cases, an enlarged labia causes physical pain during intercourse, an uncomfortable feeling during daily activities or irritation when wearing tight-fitting clothing. Others dislike the look and feel of an asymmetrical labia and choose labiaplasty to help them feel more physically attractive and emotionally self confident. Sometimes the removal of extra skin around the clitoris is most important for enhancing a woman's sexual experience.

• Ultrasound
  There are several different types of liposuction procedures, such as tumescent or ultrasound liposuction, that have developed as a result of recent advancements in new technologies. Together the patient and the surgeon can discuss which method(s) are best during the initial consultation visit. Liposuction can last from thirty minutes to several hours depending upon the amount of fat to be removed. Liposuction surgery is an excellent procedure that can benefit those who want to remove unattractive fatty deposits.

Surgeons

• General Surgery
• Ear Surgery
  Otoplasty is not limited to children and may also be performed on older patients. Cosmetic procedures are available for those individuals with large ears and for those with congenital (birth) irregularities that detract from their appearance. Additionally, an individual’s ears may exhibit abnormal traits due to their genetic make-up or an accidental injury, such as losing an ear or part of an ear. Otoplasty is used successfully for each of these situations. Regardless of the procedure, patients have been pleased with the long-lasting improvements to their appearance offered by ear surgery.
• Hand Surgery
  Dr. Zucker has over 25 years of experience in plastic surgery with expertise in a wide range of procedures including breast augmentations and reductions, facelifts and eyelid surgery, laser surgery and hand surgery.
• Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  BOTOX® is one of the key products Dr. Zucker provides to meet this goal. This treatment causes the muscles to freeze, eliminating the appearance of specific facial wrinkles. Forehead creases, lines around the eyes, and frown lines are some of the most common areas of concern which BOTOX® services can treat.
• Eyelid Surgery
  The surgery generally takes about one to three hours and is performed in the physician’s office. If additional cosmetic procedures are being performed, the eyelid surgery could last longer.
• Liposuction
  Liposuction (or lipoplasty) is a body-sculpting procedure to remove fat that is unresponsive to dieting and exercising. This procedure can be applied to nearly any area of the body and is commonly used on multiple areas during an operation. Liposuction results in a slimmer and better proportioned figure. Liposuction is used effectively to reduce love handles, saddlebags, a double-chin, a bulge around the waistline, or other unsightly fatty deposits in order to develop a better shape and create a more beautiful body.
• Breast Augmentation
  Our breast augmentation exams include using samples placed in bra cups so patients get a realistic, hands-on idea of what to expect from treatment. Patients can try these samples in front of a full length mirror full length mirror to help visualize final outcomes. Our exams allow patients to more accurately get an idea of what their new shape will look like in relation to the rest of their figure, as opposed to what computer generated images could provide. Dr. Zucker’s exams are personalized and allow patients to better understand their treatment plan.
• Breast Reduction
  Breast reduction (or reduction mammaplasty) is an enhancement procedure that reshapes the breasts in order to make them smaller, lighter, and firmer. Reduction is accomplished by removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. Large breasts can cause physical pain as well as emotional and social anxiety. Women who take advantage of the breast reduction procedure find that they are able to lead a healthier, more comfortable life, in addition to enjoying a beautiful, more proportionate appearance.
• Breast Lift
  A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. As a woman ages, skin loses some elasticity which can cause the breasts to lose their natural shape and firmness. This procedure is designed to elevate the breasts and give them a more youthful appearance. A breast lift may also be completed in conjunction with breast enlargement surgery (augmentation).
• Rhinoplasty
  We offer a variety of plastic surgery and cosmetic enhancement procedures such as rhinoplasty (nose job), rhytidectomy (facelift), breast augmentation, neck & chin lifts. Below are just some of the many procedures that we can perform to help you achieve the look of your dreams. If you have any questions about plastic surgery or wish to schedule an appointment for an initial consultation, please feel free to contact us. We welcome the opportunity to talk with you.

• Plastic Surgery
  Before and after photos can help you better understand the various procedures that are available to you, in addition to helping you form reasonable expectations of what can be achieved through plastic surgery. It is important to keep in mind that each person is different and that your results may vary.
• Face Lift
  A Facelift (Rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure designed to smooth and firm the skin, providing a fresh, youthful appearance. Throughout one’s life, the sun’s radiation, stress, gravity, and other factors cause the skin to sag and fit more loosely. Areas of the face and neck, in particular around the jaw line, are especially prone to the aging process. Though these changes are gradual, wrinkles and other signs of aging can make individuals “feel older” than they really are.
• Neck Lift
• Blepharoplasty
  Eyelid surgery (known as blepharoplasty) is a corrective procedure that can reduce dark circles or “bags” under the eyes, remove excess wrinkles, and provide a more youthful appearance to the eyes. One of the first things noticed about a person is their eyes. During the aging process, wrinkles, lines, and puffiness contribute to a tired or aged appearance. The blepharoplasty surgery is often performed in conjunction with other facial procedures such as a face lift or rhinoplasty (nose surgery).
• Abdominoplasty
  Sometimes simply dieting and exercising are not enough to take care of waistline problems. In such cases, a patient may wish to consider a tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty). A tummy tuck is the surgical removal of excess skin or fatty deposits from the abdomen, along with the repositioning of abdomen muscles into a tighter formation. This bodily enhancement procedure is designed for those who wish to have a flatter and tighter stomach. It is also helpful in remedying the vertical separation of abdomen muscles known as diastasis, which can occur following pregnancy.
• Nose Surgery
• Breast Surgery
  Breast size is an issue that can affect your confidence, from how you feel in clothing, to your comfort with your body in front of others. If you’ve always wanted to increase your cup size, breast augmentation with implants can provide the results you’re looking for. Cosmetic breast surgery is one of the most common surgical enhancement procedures sought out by women and is safe and effective. At Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Stephen Zucker can help you see the results you’re looking for with breast implants in South Bend, IN.
• Otoplasty
  Surgery of the ear, also known as otoplasty, is a procedure that helps reduce protrusion of the ear away from the head. Most often, ear surgery is performed on children between the ages of four to fourteen. Ears that “stick out” are often the source of teasing and ridicule in young children. This teasing can have a devastating effect on the child’s psyche.
• Body Contouring
  SAFELipo is a comprehensive, multi-step process that combines the benefits of liposuction, fat shifting and fat grafting. It was originally developed in response to the unique challenges presented by revision liposuction cases (patients who had undergone liposuction previously). It quickly became clear that the gentleness, precision, and ability to drastically reshape treated areas would benefit all body contouring patients.
• Gynecomastia
  Gynecomastia is the overgrowth of male breast tissue. Typically, all men have some amount of this tissue, but in some cases it grows excessively. This problem is common in adolescent boys and older men.
• Cosmetic Surgery
  Once considered a rare procedure, labiaplasty has become a more prominent and accepted cosmetic surgery. As general awareness of sexual problems and needs have grown through the introduction of male enhancement products, so too has the discussion and social acceptance of women's sexual performance and appearance. While labiaplasty is clearly a personal, private choice, there is increased awareness around this emerging form of cosmetic surgery.

Dermatologists

• Lesions
• Chemical Peels
  A chemical peel is an aesthetic procedure performed to achieve better skin tone and to remove fine lines, especially on the face. The chemical solution removes outer layers of skin which are damaged by age, sun, acne, wrinkles, or pigmentation problems. Removing the outer skin prompts the body to generate a new layer of skin cells which are tainted by the previous skin condition. Chemical peels may not be appropriate for darker skin complexions.
• Skin Care
  Many women and men are opting for nonsurgical procedures that can be done quickly, without an invasive surgical procedure. Non-surgical treatments can take years off your appearance - without the risks of surgery and anaesthetics.
