- UltrasoundUltrasound- and laser-assisted liposuction both liquefy the fat. They use smaller cannula, and are much less invasive the traditional and tumescent liposuction.

- MRICancer – There is no evidence that breast implants cause breast cancer. They may affect the way the mammography is done to detect cancer, but it does not cause cancer. When you get a mammography, be sure to inform the technicians that you have implants as additional views may be required. Today MRI appears to be the best study to detect leakage of implants or a breast lesion.

For the outer-thigh lift, an incision is made in the groin area.

These are readily and efficiently corrected in the expert hands of Dr. Weinstein.

If a wound is corrected by a plastic surgeon, it is possible to use an atraumatic technique in which the healing process can be primed for the best result.

Because of this, we offer a variety of effective and safe procedures that will help you achieve the body of your dreams.
