- Medical Weight LossThose who have achieved significant weight loss, either through diet and exercise or through a surgical procedure such as lap-band or gastric bypass, have taken the first step on their way to achieving a revitalized self. The second step, however, often entails dealing with the sagging skin that results from such a massive transformation. Excessive sagging skin all over the body can be uncomfortable and can make the individual feel as if their dream of a new body has not yet been fully realized. For those seeking to address sagging skin and tissue, Dr. Wang performs several procedures tailored to individuals who have experienced a dramatic drop in body weight. It is important that those contemplating such post-weight loss procedures have attained their goal weight and have stabilized at this weight for some time prior to undergoing surgery.

- UltrasoundIf you have marionette lines, nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, jowl and neck, and don’t want to go under the knife, then Ultherapy® is what you need. Ultherapy® is the FDA approved ultrasound treatment for skin lifting and firming from Ulthera Inc. Ultherapy® is the only non-invasive procedure that targets the SMAS layer of the skin, a non-surgical SMAS Lift. This is the layer which surgeons tighten during a surgical-facelift or threadlift of the mid to lower face. With a built-in ultrasound scan, Ultherapy® can accurately locate the SMAS and deliver a very precise dose of energy to it, and start stimulating your collagen production.

- BotoxYour face can greatly affect how others perceive you and your emotions, so it's important that it accurately portray who you are. Some women see frown lines begin to develop across their foreheads. Those lines can create a tired or sad expression that detracts from the real you. To minimize those lines, many women turn to popular products such as BOTOX® Cosmetic to help create a smoother, younger looking face.
- Brow LiftDr. David Mabrie performs facial plastic surgery such as chin and cheek implants, cosmetic mole removal and brow lift.
- Eyelid SurgeryAnother procedure that Dr. Wang commonly performs for Asian teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19 is double eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty. This technically precise but fairly straightforward procedure poses almost no risk to the patient and offers a wider and more aesthetically-pleasing eye with more definition. That said, teens should still carefully consider whether the surgery is right for them, and talk over their decision with their family and friends.
- LiposuctionA healthful diet and regular exercise are great ways help retain a beautiful, youthful appearance, but sometimes work and personal life can get in the way of maintaining your ideal body. Women in their 40s are often very busy, so maximum results and minimal recovery time are of the utmost importance. Dr. Wang understands this. He can help women get rid of small pockets of fat on various parts of their bodies with minimal downtime using liposuction or laser liposuction. During personal consultations, he helps patients decide on the best option for their body types and their specific cosmetic goals.
- Breast AugmentationBut no matter how healthy you are and how well you take care of yourself, there are some beauty goals that only a surgeon can help you with. For instance, almost 100,000 American women age 20 to 39 choose breast augmentation each year. This popular procedure allows you to enhance your body contour and create a more flattering profile. Dr. Wang is a strong believer in the artistry of custom breast augmentation. If you do the research, you may find that some surgeons want to pressure you into a particular implant style and placement method, offering "cookie cutter" results. Your body is too special and unique for such a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Breast ReductionAnother popular part of the mommy makeover is a breast procedure to give you beautiful, shapely breasts. You will be able to discuss your needs with Dr. Wang during your consultation. Surgical options include breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, or a combined procedure. For instance, some moms never had much breast tissue, but now are ready for the breasts they've always wanted. Breast augmentation alone is a great choice for these women. For a mom who's gone through the cycle of increased breast size, nursing, breast shrinkage, and sagging, a combined lift and augmentation often achieves the desired look. There are more surgical options than ever before to revive and restore your breast appearance.
- Breast LiftExtreme weight loss can cause breasts to loose shape and projection. A breast lift, or mastoplexy, can help uplift the breasts into an attractive position and allows for removal of excess skin in this area. A variety of incision techniques can be used during a breast lift; however, those patients with significant sagging will most likely require an incision that extends around the perimeter of the areola, down to the breast crease and then horizontally across the crease. Once Dr. Wang makes the incision, he will reposition and reshape the underlying tissue, allowing for the repositioning of the areola, which remains attached to the tissue to preserve sensation. For those patients who are seeking a reduction in areola size, excess skin around the perimeter of the areola may also be removed. After Dr. Wang removes excess skin, he sutures the remaining skin in place. Patients are required to wear compression bandages for a few weeks following surgery, and then a special bra must be worn for several months thereafter. Patients generally experience swelling and bruising for several weeks, but are able to return to work after about a week.
- RhinoplastyNo matter how hard you work to stay in shape and keep your body looking great, you still may be unhappy with some of your facial features. You're not alone. Last year, over 300,000 facial procedures and treatments were performed for people age 20 to 39. Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is the most popular facial surgery for younger women, and can dramatically improve the look of your face. Many younger women aren't ready for or don't need the substantial transformations that surgical solutions provide, and are instead much more interested in non-surgical or "minimally invasive" treatment options. The most popular cosmetic procedure for young women is laser hair removal, which can be completed in 15 to 30 minutes and permanently reduces the amount of hair on your face or other regions where it's unwanted.

- Plastic SurgeryOne of the two Wang Plastic Surgery locations is located in the City of Pasadena, Los Angeles County, Southern California, home to the Rose Bowl football game and the Rose Parade. It is minutes a way from the 210 Foothill Freeway, and the Pasadena Freeway, off of E. Colorado Blvd.
- Thigh LiftSome individuals may choose to undergo a thigh lift to target sagging skin in the inner thigh region. Dr. Wang generally makes an incision where the thigh meets the groin and may sometimes opt for a secondary incision from the groin to the knee. This allows for removal of excess tissue and/or fat (using liposuction) and subsequent trimming of loose skin. Remaining skin is then sutured in place, and the patient is required to wear a compression bandage for several weeks following surgery.
- Face LiftBoth the traditional facelift and the short scar facelift are performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Dean Kane, at his Baltimore practice, The Center for Cosmetic Surgery & MediSpa.
- Neck LiftIndividuals who have achieved marked weight loss may notice droopy skin around the face and neck. Sagging skin in the face often affects the neck and creates a floppy appearance along the neckline. A face and neck lift, therefore, is an efficient way of targeting such problem areas. As with a traditional face and neck lift, Dr. Wang inconspicuously makes incisions along the hairline and below the chin. He then removes excess tissue and skin and then smoothes remaining skin in to place. For more information on incision techniques and recovery see “ Neck Lift ” and “ Facelift ” sections.
- BlepharoplastyMany of Dr. Wang's mature patients need surgical correction for their cosmetic troubles to achieve the revitalized look they want. Today, there are more options than ever before to help you look your best. For instance, a common concern for people over 50 is that their eyes appear tired and saggy, giving the people they meet the impression that they are disengaged from life or not feeling well. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can help you look young again by removing loose skin and fat deposits above the eyes and bags and puffiness below the eyes. Patients generally appear more rested and vibrant.
- AbdominoplastyMost mommy makeovers include some type of surgical correction in the abdominal area. If you have only a small area of belly fat, Dr. Wang may be able to slim the area using only liposuction. For larger fat deposits and loose skin, abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, can slim your profile and tighten your stomach muscles. Think of how much better your clothes will fit and how much sexier you'll feel with a flatter stomach.
- Nose SurgeryCosmetic surgeons Dr. Mark Erlich and Dr. Salvatore Farruggio offer such procedures as face lift, breast enhancement, and nose surgery for Manhattan and Connecticut residents.
- Body LiftDepending on the patient’s anatomy and goals, Dr. Wang will formulate a specific plan to target problem areas. He may recommend multiple procedures to deal with extra skin and tissue, including a body lift, thigh lift, tummy tuck, breast lift, and/or a face and neck lift. Dr. Wang and the patient will discuss which procedures are necessary to provide natural, healthy-looking results. These procedures are usually performed over a period of time to allow for proper healing and the attainment of the best possible results. The above-mentioned procedures are usually performed under general anesthesia and depending on the invasiveness of the surgery, they may require an overnight stay. As with most surgical procedures, possible complications include infection and blood clotting. Due to the extensive amount of skin and tissue to be addressed, scarring is inevitable, but Dr. Wang makes every attempt to make incisions in the areas most easily concealed either by the natural folds of the skin or by clothing and undergarments.

- OtoplastySeveral cosmetic surgery procedures have been popular choices for teenagers for many years. Generally, these procedures are very low risk, and offer the patient the possibility of great benefit. For instance, otoplasty, or surgery to pin back the ears so that they sit closer to the head, has been performed on teens and even younger children for decades. This straightforward surgery carries very little risk and only rarely leads to complications, yet it helps tens of thousands of people each year avoid the teasing and taunting that so commonly accompany ears that "stick out" far from the head.
- Scar RevisionScar revision minimizes and improves the appearance of unsightly keloids, facial and hypertrophic scars. It can also relieve the discomfort of contractures, caused by burns or other injuries, which can restrict movement of muscles and tendons.
