Total Transformation
Do It Once, Enjoy Spectacular Results

It's been called "extreme" plastic surgery - undergoing multiple surgical procedures at one time. But what's truly extreme about it are the advantages patients can realize by clustering their plastic surgery to achieve their transformation in one fell swoop.

It's Less Expensive

Having multiple procedures performed at the same time costs less than having them performed individually. Why?

Because most plastic surgeons (myself included) discount each individual procedure during a "transformation" surgery. Our time is used more efficiently and we reciprocate by charging you less.

In addition, there's only one facility fee and one anesthesia fee. When you have procedures performed separately, these expenses are repeated each time.

There's Less Downtime

Having more than one procedure done at once means there's only one recovery period, which translates into less time off from work or away from your regular routine.

You Get the Most Natural Look

This is perhaps the most important advantage of having multiple procedures done at one time. Here's why:

The signs of aging generally aren't limited to one region of the face. In order to obtain the most cohesive, natural-looking result, many patients will benefit from subtle surgery to several areas of the face rather than dramatic improvements in a single area.

Facelifts Address Many Issues

For example, a facelift often is combined with eyelid surgery and laser resurfacing to achieve the greatest rejuvenation. There's no sense eliminating jowls and "turkey neck" if hooded eyelids are going to ruin the overall effect. And a skin tightening laser treatment will bring it all together - while removing brown spots and other surface irregularities.

Beauty Is All About Proportion

Patients who are bothered by an oversized nose often re-analyze with overall proportion in mind. Instead of just reducing and refining the nose, they opt for a chin implant to balance the nose in profile. This improves overall facial proportion and results in a more ideal aesthetic outcome.

Facial Implants and Fat Transfer for Volume

The most up-to-date thinking about facial rejuvenation emphasizes volume over tightening.

Removing lax skin helps everyone, but for many women that "tired" look has more to do with loss of subcutaneous fat than skin laxity. Implants and fat transfers restore youthful contours. The result is a subtle, nuanced clarifying of the entire face.
