Nipple Reduction

Many people are self-conscious about their nipples. It is common for nipples to increase in length after breast-feeding, weight changes, and during the normal aging process. Also, body piercings may cause distortion of the nipple in both men and women.

Nipple reduction will reduce your nipple projection to the desired length. This procedure is performed in the comfort of our office, under local anesthesia. Because man people are embarassed by this problem, it is always performed in a discrete manner, with the upmost respect for your privacy.

Umbilicoplasty

Belly button revision surgery is increasing in popularity. Some common reasons for people to dislike the appearance of their belly buttons include: history of hernia repair, poor result after a tummy tuck, or simply because they do not like the way it appears (too big, too deep, an "outie", etc.)

Belly button revision, or umbilicoplasty, is performed as an outpatient procedure and can dramatically improve the appearance of the belly button and the entire abdomen.

Hand Rejuvenation

The hands are an often ignored area of the body, and can often appear older than a person's age. This is because the hands are constantly subjected to harmful ultraviolet rays, environmental irritants, and hand washing.

Treatments for hand rejuvenation revolve around eliminating pigment and age spots, reducing lines and wrinkles, and "plumping" bony hands with prominent veins. We utilize the similar treatments on the hands, that we use on the face - chemical peels, fillers, topical cosmoceuticals, and lasers.

"Tummy Tuck" or Abdominoplasty

A very common problem after pregnancy and/or weight change is loss of support of the abdominal wall and an excess of "hanging" skin of the lower abdomen. An abdominoplasty, or "tummy tuck, is designed to address a variety of problems. It involves removal of the excess skin of the lower abdomen and tightening of the abdominal muscles. This combination of skin removal and muscle tightening provides the powerful results. Often, liposuction is also performed to help create a more defined waistline. The surgery is designed to create a smooth, flat, and tight abdomen.

Hair Reduction

Many people desire permanent hair reduction. Commonly used techniques such as depillatories and waxing can be irritating and do not successfully remove unwanted hair for long durations. Intense Pulsed Light therapy can result in up to an 80% reduction in the amount of hair and is safe throughout the body. Multiple treatment sessions are necessary to achieve a long term result.

"Upper Arm Reduction" or Brachioplasty

The upper arms are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in weight. After losing weight, the skin an dfat of the upper arm can become lax and begin to hange. This results in what many refer to as "bat wings". This laxity cannot be corrected through exercise. Many people find this so distressing that they wear long sleeves shirts year round, even in the summer. women are usually so self-conscious that they avoid social events that require dresses that show their arms.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a powerful tool that can greatly improve the contour of the entire body. Liposuction is designed to "sculpt" the body and it is NOT a weight loss procedure. Targeted liposuction can improve many areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. We utilize a power-assisted, tumescent liposuction technique that enables superb sculpting with minimal bruising, swelling, or discomfort.

Breast Reconstruction after Mastectomy

There are several techniques available for the recreation of a breast that is removed because of cancer. Breasts can be created at the same time as the mastectomy, or years later. Techniques include the use of prosthetic material, or breast implants, as well as your body's own tissue. Dr. Skolnik and Dr. Schulman will be happy to discuss all the options with you and help you choose a technique that best suits your needs and body type. We work closely with your oncologist and breast surgeon throughout the entire reconstruction process to provide you with optimal care.

Breast Reduction

Large breasts, or macromastia, can be a serious problem for some women. The weight of the breasts may cause back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and rashes beneath the breasts. Other women simply want their breasts smaller for cosmetic reasons. Regardless of your motivation, breast reduction surgery can be one of the most satisfying and life-changing procedures. There are several techniques, all of which aim to create a smaller and lifted breast.

Breast Augmentation - Breast Enlargement

Breast augmentation is one the most commonly requested cosmetic procedure, and patient satisfaction following breast augmentation is extremely high. Women desire breast augmentation for several reasons:

• they have always desired to have a larger chest
• they have lost volume after weight loss or pregnancy
• to correct asymmetry between the right and the left breast
• to correct congenital deformites such as "tuberous breast"
• to correct normal "drooping" that occurs with aging
