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.

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.

Have you always felt that your nose just doesn’t quite fit your face? Do you zone in on your nose in the mirror and view photos of yourself with a sense that there’s room for improvement?

The cosmetic procedure rhinoplasty is an effective method to reshape your nose and improve contour in order to bring a sense of balance and harmony to your face. Achieving a new, personalized profile designed by you and Dr. Aycock can be an long-term source of self-confidence and pride.

The goal of any rhinoplasty at Dr. Aycock’s plastic surgery practice is to provide you with a nasal structure that greatly enhances your aesthetic beauty and appears completely natural as well.

Nasal Design

Building a new nose based on your existing bone structure is an engineering feat that requires a high skill level, a firm grasp on the principles of bone and tissue reshaping, and an ability to not only articulate a vision, but also to bring that vision to reality with sophisticated plastic surgery techniques.

In the process of renewing your nasal profile, Dr. Aycock will perform a methodical facial analysis. The final nose design must be visually appealing on its own, as well as in relation to other facial features like the chin, cheeks, and forehead.

Every face is unique — what may be considered an overly prominent nose on one individual may appear weak or small on another. While Dr. Aycock is faced with the task of creating a nose shape that is pleasing to the eye, he must also design and execute a final nose appearance that brings all other features into balance. Finally, Dr. Aycock must ensure that any changes made respect the flow of air through the nostrils and allow for optimal breathing function.

What Would You Change?

Does your nose seem to broad, long, or bumpy for your liking? Perhaps the nostrils are too wide, or the tip is too bulbous. Whatever the problem, Dr. Aycock can work with you to develop a refreshed, attractive nose. Feel free to bring in photos of specific nose types that you find appealing. Dr. Aycock and his team will help you settle on a final design that is just right for your face. In some cases, the addition of a chin augmentation or cheek implants may help improve a patient’s rhinoplasty results.

To get an idea of the results that are possible with rhinoplasty, we invite you to view our nose surgery before and after photos. If you are ready to discuss the benefits of nose surgery and find out if you are a good candidate, please don’t hesitate to contact Dr. Robert Aycock at your earliest convenience.

If your breasts are different sizes or shapes, you are not alone. While perfect breasts are the standard in Hollywood, very few women are actually born with identical breasts. Asymmetry is a very common occurrence and may manifest in many ways, including shape, size, nipple height, or areola size variations.

While asymmetry in natural breast tissue is normal, you don’t have to keep them that way. Expert surgical correction from Dr. Robert Aycock is an effective avenue to ensure your breasts are more closely matched.

Could You Benefit From Corrective Breast Surgery?

For many women, the philosophy that “you feel good when you look good” rings true. A physical imbalance can lead to feelings of self-consciousness or low self-esteem, and a surgical improvement can free the mind from obsessing over these imperfections. Thankfully, breast surgery offers a time-tested option for women who want to improve the appearance of differing breasts.

You may be a good candidate for breast asymmetry surgery if you are bothered by the appearance of your asymmetrical breasts, the imbalance makes it difficult to find bras or clothes that fit, and you feel a change would enhance your self-confidence.

Personal Breast Design

Breast asymmetry surgery requires an in-depth physical evaluation to fully understand the problem and develop a fitting solution. You want to make sure your surgeon has many years of experience along with the proper skill necessary to deliver a beautiful, natural-looking result. If you undergo corrective breast surgery on one or both breasts, Dr. Aycock will tailor your procedure to precisely fit your personal needs.

Dr. Aycock was voted one of The Most Dependable Plastic Surgeons of the Western United States
in 2008, recognized as the Best
Plastic Surgeon,
MedSpa, and Healthcare
Surgery Center
in Marin County in
2008 and 2009, and
voted Bohemian Best of the Northbay
2008 and 2009.

Depending on your degree of asymmetry, Dr. Aycock will choose the technique or combination of techniques carefully to deliver ideal proportions. While slight asymmetry can often be corrected with minimal manual excision and tissue reshaping, more dramatic cases of imbalance may require additional or alternative methods.

A breast augmentation procedure can be performed with two different sized implants to help you achieve a uniform appearance. If you have one breast that is much larger than the other, a breast reduction may be used to even out the tissue. After a thorough physical examination and discussion of your breast appearance goals, you and Dr. Aycock will decide on the best method of achieving your perfect result.

A more aesthetically pleasing, balanced breast appearance can do wonders to create a positive body image. To discuss your breast asymmetry correction opportunities, please contact Dr. Robert Aycock in the Bay Area.

At what age should a woman stop wearing a bikini?

A May 2011 Today Show story highlighted a recent poll of 2000 women who put the bikini’s “expiration date” at age 47. Miniskirts were pinned at 35, and stilettos at 35. Editor-in-chief of Allure Magazine Linda Wells disagreed with the findings, saying that “the message should not be that you can’t wear these things after a certain age, the message is to take a look at yourself and wear them with confidence if you feel good about it.”

A panel of health and beauty experts agreed that it’s not about age, it’s about appropriateness and that “if it’s a matter of gravity, there are things that can help you.”

Matching What’s Outside to Inner Beauty

Beauty is more than skin deep, and attractiveness is not defined by age. Most men will tell you that confidence is an attractive trait, even more so than physical features. If you are missing that key confidence due to dissatisfaction with your physical appearance, cosmetic surgery that is performed with great skill and personalization can help you accentuate your natural beauty. An experienced, successful cosmetic surgeon is able to play upon the strength of your positive features and downplay or restore your weaker ones for a beautiful reinvention.

Cosmetic Surgery for a Bikini-Ready Body

Dr. Robert Aycock is one such San Francisco cosmetic surgeon who has helped many women enhance their figures with safe, state-of-the-art procedures. Liposuction can minimize fat deposits in places like the thighs, love handles, and stomach, and is extremely useful when diet and fitness efforts fail. A tummy tuck can help you get rid of the stubborn tummy pouch, and breast surgery can enhance and lift sagging or small breasts. Other procedures like the buttock lift, leg lift, and arm lift can target specific body areas to get you back in the bikini game.

Choosing Your Swim Attire

Today’s swimwear styles are creative and cater to all body types. From the Brazilian bikini to the modest one-piece, there is something for everyone out there. If you prefer to ease your way back to the bikini, try a tankini that combines a tank top for more coverage with a normal bikini bottom. Visit a comprehensive swimwear shop and play with different shapes and fits until you find one that flatters. Experts agree the golden rule of choosing swimwear is only this: wear what you feel comfortable in.

As many women age, descriptions of their personal style often change from  “hot” and “sexy” to “tasteful” or “classy.” Whether your philosophy is “leave something to the imagination” or “flaunt it if you’ve got it,” Dr. Aycock and his team can help you fine-tune your shape with state-of-the-art body contouring procedures.

To quote Today Show co-anchor Natalie Morales, “If Sharon Stone can do it at age 53, then why can’t you?”

A nice, even tan is a coveted feature, creating a “healthy” glow and boosting self-confidence. But in reality, below that sun-kissed skin may hide irreversible sun damage.

Risks of Sun Exposure

The sun’s rays contain the harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation waves, notorious for defiling clear, youthful skin with sunspots, discoloration, and wrinkles. Both types of UV rays, UVA and UVB, can directly cause premature aging and skin cancer. When you endure prolonged sun exposure, you’re risking your appearance and your health. Despite the prevalent warnings regarding too much sun, sunblock and protective clothing are not a priority for most people. However, taking measures to shield your delicate outer layer from the sun today can prevent some of the severe consequences of sun damage.

We encourage all of our patients concerned about sun damage to visit a dermatologist for a full body skin assessment annually.

Sun Damage Remedies

While prevention is the best defense against sun damage, there are ways you can improve the appearance of early aging due to sun exposure. After a personalized skin care evaluation, Dr. Robert Aycock can design a treatment program to minimize the appearance of sun damage on your face and body. With advanced laser technology and patented skin solutions, his skin care team is able to reduce freckles, photo damage, wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmentation issues. You may even be able to use these treatments to prevent sun-related appearance issues that may become apparent many years down the road.

Rhinoplasty is a popular procedure for anyone looking to change the appearance of their nose. Many different types of alterations can be performed, including size reduction, shape change, nostril size or shape adjustments, and reshaping to improve airflow. Whether you were born with a nose you don’t like, you suffered a nose injury, or you have a nasal birth defect, Dr. Robert Aycock can help you get the nose you want with his skillful and artistic hands.

Your Rhinoplasty Artist

Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Aycock takes great pride in creating beautiful reshaping results that complement each patient’s unique natural beauty. Dr. Aycock is a very talented rhinoplasty surgeon renown for his ability to combine the plastic surgery skill he possesses with a great deal of artistic license. Dr. Aycock is wholeheartedly dedicated to achieving results that his patients desire, and he accomplishes this with the application of extreme mindfulness and carefully honed skill during surgery. He has also designed his pre- and post-operative care protocol for the utmost safety.

Elements of a Successful Nose Surgery

Here are some of the ways skill and artistry combine for a successful rhinoplasty.

• Most often, incisions are inconspicuously placed on the inside nostril area. If external incisions are required, they are placed in the creases where the nose and cheek meet.
• Excess cartilage is gently removed and the skin must be redraped carefully for a normal final appearance.
• Size reductions must be calculated precisely to achieve a result that looks natural and attractive.
• In some cases, Dr. Aycock will add tissue to fill in skin deficits. Tissue addition requires a very delicate hand as well as a good eye for what looks best.
• Any protruding or uneven bone tissue must be carefully reduced to create a smooth final result.
• Dr. Aycock must perform all alterations so that the blood flow to the nose tissue is healthy.
• All alterations must be performed in a manner that allows for uninhibited breathing.
• Dr. Aycock must consider the steps to improve the form and function of each segment of the nose, as well as the final overall appearance.
• Dr. Aycock must manage the healing process in a way that optimizes final appearance and encourages healthy recovery. Splints and stitches should be applied and removed very strategically.

It is Dr. Aycock’s ability to combine all these elements in such a deliberate way that produces an ideal final appearance that doesn’t just look symmetrical, but looks great with the patient’s unique features. For a peek at how an artistic nose reshaping procedure can improve your facial appearance, please visit Dr. Aycock’s before and after rhinoplasty photos.

Why would anyone consider getting BOTOX® injections? Shouldn’t we embrace growing older and view wrinkles and other signs of aging as evidence of wisdom?

As unfortunate as it may sound, our society thrives on judging people by their physical appearance, especially during first impressions. Aging gracefully means accepting your physical self, but it can also mean enhancing your features when they seem to be working against you.

Factors like sun damage, aging, and genetics can all conspire to change the appearance of your face, whether you like it or not. Forehead wrinkles, brow furrows, and frown lines can gradually creep in, leading others to believe you are tired, irritated, or grumpy, despite your actual mood. Whether you are at work or in a social situation, the last thing you want to do is feel intimidated or discouraged by your own appearance.

BOTOX is not just a treatment for wrinkles; it is a way to escape the feeling that your personality does not match your appearance. People who choose BOTOX are not unhappy with who they are, they just may not want to be prejudged by facial characteristics that do not accurately reflect how they feel on the inside.

BOTOX patients reap many benefits, including improved youthful appearance and increased self-confidence. BOTOX patients are from all walks of life, namely men and women who want to feel good about how they look.

If you are a working mom tired of being judged by others who may think you are unhappy or grumpy, you may want to consider doing something for yourself; BOTOX sessions can promote a relaxed, energetic appearance. If you are competing for jobs with professionals who are half your age, BOTOX can smooth your facial appearance and provide that extra boost of self-confidence that can carry you far. If you are a divorced man or woman in your 40s or 50s, BOTOX may give you the confidence you’ve been looking for each time you look in the mirror and see a more youthful version of yourself. Whatever your stage in life, BOTOX can offer enhancement and help you look and feel as vibrant as you are.

If you are unhappy with those lines between your eyebrows staring back at you each time you look in the mirror you may want to consider getting rid of them.   Dr. Robert Aycock is an excellent choice for your BOTOX treatment.

To get all the facts on BOTOX and see if it is right for you, please contact Dr. Robert Aycock to set up a consultation. Also feel free to visit Dr. Aycock’s Facebook page under Bay Area’s
