Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
This is an operation in which the stretched abdominal wall is repaired from top to bottom, It is performed by the removal of all skin and fat below the navel, stretching out of the skin and fat above the navel to cover the entire abdominal wall and repositioning of the navel to keep it in its normal position. This improves the tone and appearance of the abdomen by reversing the pregnancy induced stretch of the abdominal wall. There are several variations to this procedure including Modified-Tuck, Mini-Tuck and Endoscopic-Mini-Tick. The procedure that is best for you depends on your actual needs.
The cost of these procedures generally may range between $3900.00 to $7900.00*!

Acne Scar Removal
Acne is a common skin disorder that a large portion of the population suffers from. Unfortunately many of the sufferers do not treat their acne disorder well enough to prevent permanent scarring. The cosmetic surgeons today have a large armamentarium of methods via which they can help improve the appearance of the skin disorders associated with acne scarring. These include but are not limited to dermabrasion; excision, laser surgery and chemical peeling which can be combined in a combination regimen in order to improve the patients' skin contour and complexion. The appropriate degree of improvement and resolution of acne scarring may require three to five combined regimes.
Each regimen ranges in price from $1000.00 to $4500.00.

Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is one of the most rewarding and the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures today. It is a relatively safe and extremely effective means through which a patient can experience an almost immediate personal improvement. It not only cosmetically enhances a woman's physical appearance it also will help enhance her body image. Although the breast augmentation surgery is usually done under a general anesthesia, it can also be performed under local anesthesia with sedation.

The implant is placed under the breast (sub glandular) or under the large muscle on the front of the chest (sub pectoral) through an incision (cut) under the breast or in the lower part of the areola (the darker skin around the nipple) or in the armpit. The most advanced and recent technique is breast augmentation from the umbilicus (belly button) through a special scope (tube shaped camera).
The procedures of breast augmentation range in price from $4500.00 to $7500.00 or more. It generally depends on the technique, method of anesthesia, and complicating factors such as the grade of breast drooping and the location of the line below the breast in addition to other factors.

Breast Reduction
Principles of Breast Reduction Surgery the breast is made up skin, glandular tissue, fat and the nipple - areola complex. Reduction involves removal of fat and glandular tissue, skin tightening, reducing the diameter of the areola and repositioning the site of the nipple. The nipple is taken to its new position by a " pedicle " or block of tissue with its own blood supply and this tissue may be based inferiorly, superiorly or from both sides.

While there are many types of operations for breast reduction, probably the procedure done most often is an " inferior pedicle " type, as first described by Robbins, where the nipple areola complex is lifted to its new site on an inferior pedicle. This is a safe, time proven method, which gives consistent results. The scars from the surgery include a circular scar around the areola (the colored skin around the nipple). Another incision is made in the form of an inverted " T " shaped scar with the vertical limb of the "T" running downwards on the breast. The horizontal limb of the incision would be running across the lower part of the breast and on to the chest towards the midline and the outer part of the chest wall.

Other methods with superior pedicles or from the sides have similar scars. A method gaining popularity is the "Vertical Mammoplasty". In this procedure, the circular areola scar is similar to that of the inferior pedicle procedure but the inverted vertical limb of the " T " runs downwards and curves outwards but stays on the breast itself and there is no horizontal scar. This does produce a much shorter scar. In addition, the shape of the reduced breast seems to be better due to some of the details of the actual procedure. However, the disadvantages of the method are the shape of the breast for the first few weeks and the need for some revision surgery in those patients needing larger reductions.

Whatever procedure your surgeon and you decide is most appropriate for you, it will result in a reduced breast size while enhancing the appearance of your breast.
The cost of the procedure ranges from $6800.00 to $7900.00 depending on various factors!

Breast Reduction with Liposuction
The breast is made up of a number of tissues including glandular tissue, which is fibrous and not suitable for liposuction and a variable amount of fat. The fat in the breast can be removed by liposuction. Hence, a breast with more fat in it is more suited for liposuction than a breast with more glandular tissue in it. However, one must remember that breast reduction surgery is not only about volume reduction but also about creation of a new breast mound. Surgery, and especially the vertical mammoplasty technique of breast reduction, permits the making of a good mound with the right shape and position. Liposuction, if used in the right patient, will give a similar satisfactory mound. This technique can only be used for a limited reduction and is not applicable for large reductions. The skin tone must be good so that there will be adequate skin contraction which is an important contributor to a satisfactory result after all liposuction procedures.
These procedures generally cost between $3900.00 to $5900.00!

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Mastopexy is a collective term used to describe the several different procedures that can be performed in order to lift the nipple areola complex of the breast as well as the breast tissue itself in order to create a younger and more youth full appearing breast. The procedure that is selected generally depends on the relationship between the nipple areola complex position with the most inferior connection line between the breast and the chest wall called the infra-mammary fold.
The procedures range in price generally between $3800.00 to $5900.00!

Brow Lift
In males and in females alike, on occasion, the drooping of the brows is noted. This may result in difficulty with the vision, excessive forehead wrinkling as a result or poor aesthetic appearance. With minimal-incision or endoscopic brow lift procedures, the brows can be successfully returned to their original location. These will most often result in an improvement in the patient's aesthetics and also will usually functionally improve the patient's vision.
The cost of brow lift generally ranges between $2400.00 to $3900.00!

Chemical Peel
There are numerous kinds of chemicals used for peeling the top layers of the skin in order to help rejuvenate and improve the appearance of the skin. These include Alfa Hydoxy-Acids/Glycolic Peels, TCA peels, Phenol Peels and many other chemicals. The method and the combination as well as their concentration affect the depth of the peel. This directly affects the results these procedures will have on the skin. Generally chemical peeling will help reduce the fine lines which have appeared on the skin. It will thicken the skin layer and rejuvenate the skin. It will also help remove age spots, skin discoloration and fine wrinkles. Overall it will result in a more youthful, clearer complexion. The recuperation from a peel depends on the depth of the peel and concentration of the peeling agent. It could range from three days to three weeks.
The cost of a chemical peel also depends on the agent used and the depth of the peel. It generally ranges between $300.00 to $2900.00!

Chin Augmentation, Chin Advancement
The Facial aesthetics dictate that the location of a woman or a man's chin must be approximately in the same line as the lips and the face must be aesthetically divided into three one-thirds. The upper one third starts at the hairline on the forehead and ends approximately at the root of the nose. The second one-third starts at the root of the nose and ends at the base of the nose and the lower one-third starts at the base of the nose and ends at the base of the chin. If an individual in suffering from an excessively small chin the lower one third would be smaller than the other two aesthetic one-thirds. These individuals are candidates for chin augmentations using fat transfer, implants or chin advancements (genioplsty). The procedure of choice depends on an individual's needs.
The cost of chin advancement or enhancement surgeries ranges between $2600.00 to $4800.00!

Collagen Injections
Collagen is a protein-based substance, which is used as an injection. It is of three different kinds. It can be used to augment various tissues, fill-in facial lines, indentations, acne scars or other imperfections in an individual's complexion. The body absorbs the collagen injected usually within three to six months.
Collagen injection usually costs between $380.00 to $750.00 per area!

Correction of Enlarged Male Breasts (Gynecomastia)
In some males the chest wall is more prominent as a result of excessive fat and/or glandular tissue in the breast area. These excessive tissues can be removed by a combination of Liposuction surgery as well as Cosmetic-Plastic surgery.
Such procedures generally may cost between $1700.00 to $3900.00!

Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is a method by which a layer of skin is removed. This will stimulate the skin's ability to repair itself and results in the re-creation of healthier more youthful and rejuvenated skin the may suffer from less pigment irregularities or scar tissues that the skin before Dermabrasion.
The cost of the procedures depends on the surface areas, which would need abrasion and generally range between $600.00 to $4900.00!

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
Prominent ear deformity and other cosmetic ear deformities are quite common and relatively simple to correct. An experienced cosmetic surgeon is able to correct most cosmetic ear deformities.
The cost of such procedures ranges between $3900.00 to $5200.00!

Eyelid Surgery
Over the course of years most individuals experience an excessive overgrowth of the upper or the lower eyelid skin and/or fatty tissue. There is multiple cosmetic surgical procedure that will assist in rejuvenation of the lids and also improve the peripheral vision.
Such procedures can be done in various ways and range in price generally between $2600.00 to $3700.00!

Face Lift
Cosmetic surgical procedure for removal of wrinkles, sagging flesh and age lines from the face is called face-lift surgery. There are many advanced techniques today that allow for minimal scaring and swelling while resulting in a more natural and long-lasting result.
The usual cost of face-lift surgery can range from $4900.00 to $7900.00!

Facial Implants
Chin, Cheek (malar) implants as well as other soft tissue implants such as Gore-Tex and Fascion are being routinely used for facial contour and aesthetic improvement. These can be used with minimal scars through the mouth or needle sticks into the skin. They usually result in extremely good cosmetic contour and aesthetic structural improvements. They can help augment the cheekbones, chin, and lips or smoothen contour deformities and facial lines.
Facial implants can range in price from $750.00 to $4900.00!

Fat Transplant (Fat Transfer)
One of the most rewarding and effective cosmetic surgical procedures today is fat transplantation. It is extremely effective and beneficial in aesthetic improvement and rejuvenation of facial and body contour. Fat transfer is performed by removal of fat from one area of the body and its injection into another area, which can create a more favorable look and contour. Fat transfer can be used to augment the lips, cheeks; chin, breasts, lateral brows or it can help fill-in contour deformities or deep facial lines. The transplanted fat doesn’t all remain in the area permanently. Only about 30% of the transplanted fat are retained after the first injection, and it may be replaced twice or three times for an excellent long term result.
The cost of fat transfer can usually be between $1200.00 to $5000.00 depending on the area in need of augmentation and the amount of fat that needs to be transferred.

Forehead Lift
In certain individuals, for ultimate aesthetic improvement there is a need for a forehead lift procedure. These procedures can be done through large incisions in the mid or frontal scalp or through small endoscopic (small tubes with a camera) incisions. Forehead lift usually results in elevation of the brows, diminishing forehead furrows and line and wrinkles and an overall rejuvenation of the upper one-third of the face (upper aesthetic unit).
The cost of these procedures usually ranges between $3900.00 to $4800.00!

Hair Replacement Surgery (Hair Transplantation)
One of the most recent advances in the rejuvenation of the male patients is reversal or improvement of male pattern baldness by hair transplantation. During this procedure one, two or three hairs are removed in the form of a graft or unit. This is called a micrograft and it is removed from the posterior art of the scalp that has a larger number of growing healthy hair. These so called micro grafts are then transferred and transplanted in a certain cosmetic pattern in the frontal balding area of the scalp to maximally cover the balding are. This procedure can lead to permanent restoration of a full head of hair.
The cost of this procedure ranges between $5.00 to $7.00 per hair graft and most times two or three sessions of up to 1000 hairs may be necessary for the ultimate results!

Laser Surgery
Lasers in Plastic Surgery have been used in the treatment of red birthmarks, spider veins, tattoos, scars, viral and plantar warts and excessive body hair. In the last few years, lasers have attracted a great deal of attention with the development of pulsed Carbon Dioxide Lasers for skin rejuvenation. A laser (Light Amplification of Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is light produced by various substances and which is capable converting into heat and energy to destroy the target cells. Each laser has a specific wavelength on which depends the depth of skin penetration of the laser and the color of the tissue it affects. Lasers, which are visible to the human eye, have shorter wavelength and are used for the many conditions mentioned earlier. Lasers with longer wavelengths are invisible to the human eye and Carbon Dioxide Laser and Erbium Laser are examples of this second type. These lasers are attracted to water within cells and can remove the superficial layer of skin. In addition, the Carbon Dioxide Laser is also capable of causing collagen contraction in the dermis (deeper two-thirds of skin). This combined effect (on the epidermis and dermis) and with subsequent new skin regeneration causes facial rejuvenation with improvement in the appearance and tone of skin, literally a face-lift without a knife and with new, tauter skin rather than the same skin being tightened. The short wavelength, visible usually need a course of 4-6 or more treatments, with little or no anesthesia, at intervals of between 2 weeks to 2 months and with little post treatment care. The long wavelength, invisible lasers need a single course of treatment under some type of anesthesia and the post treatment care is very involved.

• Laser Facial Resurfacing: Using aCO2 or an Erbium-Yag or a combination of the two lasers a superficial layer of the older skin of the face can be removed. This results in stimulation of the skin, which will lead, to regeneration and creation of a healthier and younger skin.
  The cost of this type of procedure is usually between $3000.00 to $4800.00!
• Spider Vein Removal: Small pink red and some blue/purple thin veins can be successfully removed by the use of the advanced vascular lasers. The results are usually unremarkable and extremely successful.
  The cost of each session per 10-Centimeter square is approximately $600.00 to $1000.00!
• Tattoo Removal: Tattoo removal by Photoderm (broad spectrum pulsed light source) takes about 4 or more sessions, approximately 6 to 8 weeks apart. The treatment involves using a light source, which is very bright and gives a rubber band type of sting. The light source disrupts the superficial part of skin to let the dye leach out as well as to encourage scavenger cells in the body to absorb some of the dye. Dressings are needed for about 10 to 14 days after each treatment. Professionally done tattoos respond better and the darker the color the easier the treatment.
  The cost of each session per 10-Centimeter square is approximately $600.00 to $1000.00!
• Pigmented Skin Lesion Removal: Pigmented (brown-tan) colored lesions of the face and body can be diminished by Versapulse or other advanced lasers.
  The cost of each session per 10 Centimeter square is approximately $600.00 to $1000.00

Liposuction
A process, in which fat is removed from various parts of the body, using anesthetic tumescent solution and suction devices has many uses. Ideally, liposuction is used for the removal of fat deposits beneath the skin where the skin tone is good. A good example of this is the fat in the upper and outer part of the thighs ("saddle bags ") in women. Over the years, there have been changes made which have expanded the uses of these techniques. Liposuction is almost always done with a tumescent technique, where a large amount of specially prepared fluid is injected into the area to be treated. This serves as an anesthetic and also helps reduce bleeding. The suction is done with a specially designed machine, which is capable of very high suction pressures. Alternatively, suction with hand held syringes could be done. Ultrasonic liposuction is available but there is not yet enough evidence to show that it is safe in the long term. The original technique was used mainly on young and healthy skin with good tone. The newer technique of simultaneous superficial and deep Liposuction permits even skin with poor tone to be treated with liposuction as the superficial suction causes considerable skin retraction. The thighs and the gluteus areas are the most common areas treated in women, whereas the waist is very commonly treated in men.
The cost of this procedure ranges from $2000.00 to $3500.00 per zone!

Micro-Dermabrasion
Using micro-Dermabrasion a very superficial layer of the outer skin is removed. This will result in the stimulation the skin to replace the removed skin with healthier newer skin. If this procedure is repeated frequently enough, it can help remove and improve the facial skin color and texture. The fine lines may eventually disappear and the skin may become thicker and healthier in appearance.
The cost of these procedures is usually 120.00 to 180.00 per session!

Neck Lift
The drooping of skin, muscle and fat in the neck occurs with the passing of time, but earlier in some than in others. Although it is commonly felt that the problem is caused by drooping skin, the main cause is the stretching of the Platysma muscle layer in the neck. This muscle, one on either side, meets in the middle of the neck with the muscle of the opposite side, to form a continuous sheet and acts as a corset for the neck. With time, there is stretching of the muscle and eventual separation of the attachment in the middle, leading to herniation of deeper fat and muscle.

Methods of "Lifting" the Neck
A direct approach is through a horizontal incision on the underside of the chin. This gives access to the midline and fat from deep to the Platysma muscle is removed before the Platysma is brought together again in the midline. The neck skin is widely mobilized (undermined) and some of the fat from the neck skin is also removed. Hardly any skin is removed as most of it will shrink and tighten. This method is used when the patient wants surgery to be restricted to the neck.

Phalloplasty (Penile Enlargement)
Male penile enlargement is a procedure that is performed by cosmetic surgeons to enlarge and enhance both the diameter and the length of the male organ. Not every cosmetic surgeon performs this procedure.
The cost of such procedure may range between $6000.00 to $9500.00!

Rhinoplasty (Nose Refinement Surgery)
Cosmetic Nasal refinement surgery is one of the most popular surgical procedures performed today. The nose is the central organ in the face and as such plays a major role in the aesthetics of the face. A large hump, a deviated nose or an extremely flared nose each can reduce the glow and the beauty of an individual's face. An expert cosmetic surgeon can improve the shape and appearance of the nose with minimal to no externally visible scars.
The cost of nose refinement surgery may range between $5200.00 to $7900.00 or more!

Scar Revision
The skin is the largest organ in the body. Any laceration and major injury to the structure of this organ heals with a scar. The job of the cosmetic surgeon is not to prevent scar formation. Scar is an inevitable result of any skin incision or laceration. The expertise of an excellent cosmetic surgeon is in minimizing the appearance of the scar. Very often the cosmetic surgeons are summoned to revise and improve the scars that have previously been caused as a result of previous surgery or injury. The cost of the scar revision and improvement depend on the location, size and extent of the scar formation.
For every two-centimeter square it could range between $600.00 to $900.00!

Skin Cancer and Tumor Surgery
As the largest and the most exposed organ of the body, skin is constantly in contact to environmental factors, which may result in cancer formation. Some of our affiliated surgeons specialize in removal of skin cancers. Removal of skin cancers and suspicious tumors is mandatory.
Almost all health insurance cover the cost of such surgeries.

Thigh Lift
Sometimes as a result of rapid weight loss or Liposuction the skin of the thighs, inner thighs in particular fail to contract adequately. Hence a surgical tightening is necessary for maximal cosmetic improvement.
The cost of such surgery is usually between $5500.00 to $7900.00!
