If you’ve been tossing around the idea of cosmetic surgery, you most likely have a specific procedure in mind already. At the office of Dr. Robert Aycock, we like to take the first consultation as an opportunity to present you with your wide range of options for surgical and nonsurgical enhancement. Often two or more procedures performed during the same visit or around the same time can give you dramatic results by accentuating features you like and downplaying those you don’t.

Designing Your Makeover

Dr. Robert Aycock is an expert at helping patients choose the combination of procedures that can deliver the results they seek. We have a state-of-the-art plastic surgery facility that is equipped with the most advanced technology and serves as an ideal, comfortable location for both cosmetic and nonsurgical outpatient treatments.

With everything you need for a beautiful makeover, including the skills and resources of a highly-skilled plastic surgeon, our center can help you find the combination of procedures to achieve beautiful and natural-looking results.

Winning Combinations

For example, you may choose to improve the tone and texture of your skin with laser resurfacing to enhance the results of a face lift. Or, get smoother skin instantly with advanced, long-lasting laser hair removal on your legs after a thigh lift. You may also wish to achieve a slimmer appearance with VelaShape,™ a nonsurgical body contouring treatment, after you have enhanced your breast appearance with a breast enlargement or breast lift. Whatever you choose, affordable patient financing is available to help you fit your combination of treatments into your budget.

The possibilities are endless. To design a strategic combination of surgical and nonsurgical procedures that will help you reach your body goals, please meet with our experienced contouring surgeon today. If you are ready to schedule your personal consultation, please contact Dr. Robert Aycock at your convenience.

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.

Although most of us don’t get the freedom that kids enjoy, summertime allows us a few months of that feeling of freedom and a carefree, lighthearted attitude. We may plan family vacations, weekend getaways, and new recreational activities. However you spend your summer, one thing is for sure — you want to look and feel your best.

At the office of Dr. Robert Aycock, we recognize the importance of reinvention, and we perform more total body makeovers around the end of spring or beginning of summer than any other time of year.

Designing Your New Figure

Body recontouring is the art of combining cosmetic body shaping procedures to help you improve your appearance. The total body makeover is the ultimate body recontouring method that aims to enhance several areas for a comprehensive result.

The most popular procedures today are those that address specific areas of the body that are limited by Mother Nature. If you are not happy with your breast size or shape, the breast enlargement, breast reduction, and breast lift work wonders. Liposuction and tummy tuck are the quintessential tools for women and men who simply cannot lose localized pounds due to genetics and body type.

There are also a variety of noninvasive treatments you can use to improve the appearance and texture of skin, such as fat transfer and laser hair removal.

If you are not ready to have surgery, we also offer the nonsurgical body shaping/cellulite reduction procedure called VelaShape.™

Facial Enhancement

Dr. Aycock has a variety of facial plastic surgery procedures that can beautifully complement a total body makeover. Choose from dramatic anti-aging procedures like the facelift, neck lift, and eyelid lift, or opt for the less invasive, nonsurgical treatments like BOTOX® and laser skin resurfacing. We can also get you started on a new skin care regimen, designed to promote healthy tone, texture, and vital new cell growth.

If you are considering enhancing your shape with the plastic surgery procedure breast augmentation, there are a few things you should know to help you decide if this is the right option for you.

About Breast Augmentation

First of all, it is good to understand what breast augmentation can and cannot do for you.  Breast surgery can improve contour, restore breast volume and balance asymmetrical breasts. And while this popular procedure will increase your breast size and enhance  breast appearance, it is not designed to combat extreme sagging due to age or breast feeding. The breast lift procedure is often done in combination with or instead of breast augmentation to help lift and reposition breasts.

Your First Breast Enlargement Visit

Not everyone is a candidate for breast enlargement. You will need to schedule an initial consultation with a skilled surgeon for a thorough evaluation. Once you are approved for augmentation, your doctor will go over all of the risks and benefits of surgery and let you know exactly what to expect. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks. You can minimize these risks by choosing a highly trained plastic surgeon and following the specific pre- and post-op instructions.

Your breast augmentation surgeon can help you choose from saline or silicone breast implants, and decide on the perfect cup size. You will have the opportunity to view breast enlargement before and after photos, as well, to see what kinds of results are possible.  Together, you will choose the ideal breast incision location, either in the breast crease, the areola, or the armpit. During this time, you will go over the affordable financing options that are available.

After Breast Enlargement

After the one-to-two hour procedure, a bandage will be applied to help with healing. Patients often return to work within a couple of days, although healing times will vary based on your individual situation. After the recovery period is complete, you will enjoy your new, shapelier figure and the enhanced self-confidence that comes with looking your best!
