“Those forehead wrinkles weren’t their yesterday, were they? And where’d those crow’s feet come from? My arms never used to flap like that when I wave…”

Anti-Aging Procedures Available

• For sagging skin on the thighs, arms, or buttocks, the leg lift, arm lift, and butt lift can improve the appearance of flabby skin and slim these areas.

• The eyelid lift is a very effective treatment for drooping eyelids that can make you look older than you are.
• The facelift and the midface lift are ideal for addressing multiple facial aging issues at once, including wrinkling, loss of elasticity, deep creases, and more.

As you get older, skin loses those essential natural substances that are responsible for providing a full, plump, fresh facial appearance. Sunken cheeks, thinning lips, and a receding chin are all normal signs of aging. The good news is that you don’t have to just sit back and watch these changes occur.

With advanced facial augmentation procedures from Dr. Robert Aycock, you can combat facial fat loss and achieve a more youthful and attractive look. Cheek, chin, and lip augmentation are also good solutions for people who are not necessarily losing facial volume due to aging, but wish to enhance their genetic facial structure by strengthening these features.

Cheek Implants

Cheek implant surgery, or cheek augmentation, is performed to improve cheek contours and enhance facial symmetry. It may be performed to create the look of high cheekbones or to help diminish the appearance of other features that are overly prominent, such as a strong chin or large nose. Pre-formed implants are positioned under the soft tissue and held in place by this existing cheek tissue.

Chin Implants

A weak chin can be a source of self-consciousness for some people, and it is especially noticeable if other features are strong. If your chin seems small, a chin implant can help bring a sense of balance to your facial appearance and even minimize the look of a large nose. Pre-formed chin implants are inserted under the chin or inside the lower lip.

Lip Augmentation

If you’re tired of trying to fake full lips with lip-plumping glosses, augmentation can provide permanent, full, pouty lips. Patients with small, deflated lips, asymmetrical lips, wrinkling, or drooping can choose from synthetic implants or biological fillers to create a natural-looking lip enhancement. Lip enhancement injections (Restylane® and Juvederm®) will need to be repeated to maintain results, whereas synthetic implants (PermaLips™) and biological grafts (AlloDerm®) are permanent.

Keep in mind that you can combine augmentation procedures for a more dramatic result and reduced recovery time. If you’re ready to discuss the benefits of volume-enhancing implants, please contact Dr. Robert Aycock in the Bay Area today.

Your delicate skin is often the first place that telltale signs of aging appear. Sun exposure, stress, lack of proper hydration, and genetics all affect the quality of your skin. If you’re looking for a way to combat wrinkling, discoloration, and other skin problems, investing in nonsurgical skin rejuvenation can be easy on your wallet while producing instant rewards.

Dr. Robert Aycock offers a bounty of solutions for improving skin tone and texture. Consider any of the following options as a cost-effective way to enhance the appearance of your skin and look years younger.

• Laser resurfacing uses focused beams of light from Sciton’s Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser (TRL™) for safe laser treatment. These treatments are useful in minimizing  the look of irregular contours and other issues. The Sciton laser system utilizes Full Field Resurfacing (Contour), MicroLaserPeel™, and Fractional Resurfacing (ProFractional™) with TRL technology to smooth lines and tighten skin. Sciton laser treatments like the MicroLaserPeel™, ProFractional Therapy™, BroadBand Light (BBL™) and SkinTyte Photofacial Therapy™ provide a painless way to refresh facial, neck, extremity and body skin without surgery.
• Spider vein treatment is conducted using three methods — sclerotherapy, laser light, and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) — to reduce or eliminate the look of spider veins caused by weight gain, aging, pregnancy, medication, and genetics. Patients with dark skin tone or very tanned skin are generally not good candidates for treatment of veins with laser therapy.
• Laser hair removal is effortless with the Sciton Profile ClearScan™ and BroadBand Light Hair Reduction procedure, which targets underarms, face, legs, back and most other skin surfaces.
• BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport™ are nonsurgical wrinkle treatments that can be done on your lunch hour and is great for targeting wrinkling around the eyebrows, neck bands, lip lines, and crow’s feet.
• Chemical peels and facials refresh your appearance by removing top layers of old skin to reveal new skin underneath. Choose from a variety of types, including Intraceutical® Oxygen Facials, Vitamin C Facials, Glycolic Facials, Pumpkin Enzyme Peels, and Vitalize Peels® for gorgeous, glowing skin.
• Juvederm®, Juvederm® Ultra Plus , Restylane® and Perlane® are injectable gels which treat nasolabial folds, thinning lips, and facial wrinkles. Injectable dermal filler delivers a high concentration of hyaluronic acid to minimize facial wrinkling.

• RADIESSE® is an injectable filler that uses calcium hydroxylapatite for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds.
• Sculptra® Aesthetic is intended for use in people with healthy immune systems as a one-time treatment regimen of up to 4 injection sessions that are scheduled about three weeks apart for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles. Sculptra® combats facial fat loss by improving skin’s volume in areas that have lost their “plumpness.”

Frequently, our patients combine nonsurgical skin therapies to get the best results possible. Let Dr. Aycock help you develop a personalized skin treatment plan that addresses your unique skin issues and respects your time and budget constraints. To set up your personal consultation, please contact our office in the Bay Area today.

Body contouring offers many different ways you can reinvent your shape, including breast enlargement, a surgical method for enhancing breast size and creating a more voluptuous figure. If you are considering this procedure, Dr. Aycock would like to help you understand the differences between your implant options before you make a final decision.

The type of breast implants you choose will affect the final result in both appearance and feel. Viewing a variety of breast enlargement before and after photos can help you see how saline an silicone differ from an aesthetic standpoint. Rest assured that Dr. Aycock will thoroughly review your choices and explain the benefits in detail, while also recommending which implants will help you meet your appearance goals.

Saline or Silicone?

Saline and silicone are the two most prevalent types of implant materials available today. Both options come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and textures, and both are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the body. Various profile options (low, moderate, moderate plus, and high profile) affect the implant’s projection and determine how high the implant protrudes from the ribcage. When you visit us for your breast augmentation consultation, we’ll show you the various implants and further explain the advantages of each.

Your New Implants

Your ideal implants should be chosen based on several factors, including the volume of your natural breast tissue, your desired final appearance, your skin elasticity, and your frame size. Dr. Aycock will show you results of breast augmentation procedures using various volumes and help you get an idea for the affects of the different styles and textures. Special “sizer” bras can also be worn to help you envision the various implants’ final appearance.

Physician Guidance

As you approach your decision, Dr. Aycock can be a strong resource. During his many years of performing breast augmentation, he’s helped countless Bay Area women achieve the breast improvements they’ve always dreamed of, and he will direct you to the implant options that complement your figure.

Dr. Aycock dedicates a large percentage of his time to the art of breast surgery: He currently serves as Medical Director of the Breast Center of Northern California and was given the honor of NOVO-2008 “Distinguished member of the National Council of Leaders in Breast Aesthetics.”

San Francisco surgeon Dr. Aycock would like to meet with you to discuss your breast implant options. Please contact our office to schedule your personal breast augmentation consultation.

If you are considering reshaping your figure with the help of a skilled cosmetic surgeon, timing is an important factor and can have a direct impact on your results and satisfaction.

Certain body contouring procedures are recommended only at specific stages of life. For instance,

• The results of a tummy tuck or breast lift are best maintained by women who do not plan to have children after the surgery.
• Liposuction to remove fat in targeted areas is only suggested after diet and exercise efforts have failed, only on patients with a healthy overall weight.
• Breast enlargement should only be performed on women over age 18 who have a thorough understanding of how a new breast size will impact their lives.
• The Mommy Makeover is recommended for women who are done having children.

Healthy Expectations

Your state-of-mind before and after a body contouring procedure is also a factor in the long-term success of your efforts. Dr. Robert Aycock requires that all his patients have realistic expectations of what surgery can and cannot do. Focusing on a healthy lifestyle after surgery is the best way to maintain your  results and positive body image.

Dr. Robert Aycock and his experienced Bay Area cosmetic surgery team have helped countless men and women achieve their body contouring goals with Vaser liposuction.

Vaser Lipo® is an innovative high-definition fat removal procedure that gets great results with minimal invasiveness. If you have localized areas of stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet and exercise efforts, Vaser may be the ideal solution to help you slim down. Performed in our state-of-the-art plastic surgery facility, Vaser is considered a very safe alternative to traditional liposuction. The recovery is faster and there is less downtime involved, so you can return to work or other activities as soon as Dr. Aycock feels you are ready.

How Vaser Lipo Works

Vaser may be used on any area of the body that needs fat reduction, including the tummy, thighs, butt, arms, neck, and chest. With a special technique called LipoSelection®, these specific areas are targeted as ultrasonic energy breaks up fat tissue.

The precision and gentleness of these techniques ensure excess fat is removed without inflicting harm on surrounding blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. Skin appears smoother and a tightened, youthful contour is noticeable within a few months.

Steps of Vaser Lipo

First, Dr. Aycock injects a tumescent fluid with a high concentration of saline to numb the area, shrink blood vessels, and make fat tissue easier to  remove.  He then makes small incisions where the Vaser tube is used to loosen fat cells. The wand gently removes the excess fatty tissue using a gentle suction motion. A comfortable compression garment is worn after surgery to encourage tightening of the skin and ensure proper healing. During the recovery process, patients may experience bruising but should be able to return to normal activities in a short amount of time.

Planning Your Vaser Session

Dr. Aycock can answer all of your liposuction questions and show you his extensive portfolio of liposuction patient photos. Affordable patient financing is available for Vaser Lipo and other body reshaping procedures.

Choose from our nonsurgical treatments to further enhance the results of your Vaser procedure, including laser resurfacing, laser hair removal, and VelaShape™ nonsurgical body contouring.

We invite you to sit down with our body contouring team to discuss the benefits of Vaser Lipo. To set up your personal consultation, please contact Dr. Robert Aycock in the Bay Area today.

If keeping body or facial hair contained seems to be a constant struggle, we’d like you to consider a nonsurgical approach to a more beautiful you. Laser hair removal and IPL (intense pulsed light) uses the latest technology available to remove unwanted hair from under the skin, where the follicle originates. The process is safe, easy, and highly effective for creating smooth, hairless surfaces.

Ineffective, Temporary Shaving Methods

Daily shaving can be a pain, and we don’t have to tell you how annoying new growth can feel when you don’t have a chance to use the razor. Depilatory creams are messy and sometimes painful, and the results don’t usually last as long as the packaging promises. Waxing can get expensive with repeat treatments needed every few weeks or so, and tweezing often ends badly without the ability to precisely judge your ideal eyebrow shape.

Why the Laser?

Laser and IPL treatments work efficiently, treating hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. After the recommended treatment regimen of 4 – 8 session at 4 – 8 week intervals, you’ll experience completely halted hair growth without any damage to the skin! Daily shaving becomes a thing of the past.

Personalizing Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Laser and IPL hair removal can be performed on a variety of bodily areas, including the face, legs, upper lip, neck, chest, underarms, bikini line, and back. There are certain qualifications that will render you a good candidate for laser hair removal, so be sure to schedule a personalized exam and orientation to find out if you meet the criteria.

Dr. Robert Aycock and his team will explain your hair removal options and review the procedure details to help you understand how it works, as well as what you can do to experience ideal results over the long-term.

For more information, please view our online hair reduction presentation.

We invite you to come in for an orientation to find out more about the process and the results. If you are ready to try our state-of-the-art laser hair removal, please contact Dr. Robert Aycock in the Bay Area to schedule your appointment.
