Arm Lift
Case Description
1 of 6
This almost-ready-to-retire law enforcement officer took great care of herself with diet and exercise. Well, gravity and age can trump the best health habits as demonstrated by her saggy upper arms. I did an upper arm tuck also known as a brachioplasty. Her scars have settled nicely and for her are a good tradeoff for her nice upper arm contour.
Upper Arm Lift (brachioplasty)
Case Description
2 of 6
This middle aged nurse lost almost 100 pounds through diet and exercise. She was left with “bingo arms”. I performed a brachioplasty on her and she healed very well, just in time for a Caribbean cruise.
Upper Arm Lift (brachioplasty)
Case Description
3 of 6
This 56 year old lady worked very hard to slim down to a healthy weight through diet and exercise. She was left with laxity of her upper arms that required a brachioplasty to obtain a pleasing contour. Her scars ended up being narrow and subtle and they do not bother her.
Upper Arm Liposuction
Case Description
4 of 6
This 52 year old accountant disliked her heavy arms. She had excellent skin tone and elasticity for her age. Circumferential liposuction of her upper arms was very successful in improving her contour with minimal scarring. I also slimmed down her underarm area. She now feels comfortable wearing short sleeves.
Fat Transfer to Upper Arm Divot
Case Description
5 of 6
This lady had a divot following upper arm liposuction by another surgeon. She underwent transfer of fat from her hips to the upper arm with improvement in the appearance and tenderness of the area.
Fat Transfer to Hands
Case Description
6 of 6
This 40 something lady was self conscious about her old-looking hands. I transferred fat from her hips to her hands. She has maintained her improvement for over two years. Fat transfer to the hands has a surprisingly easy recovery. Patients wear a dressing of surgical tape on top of the hands for about one week to stabilize the fat.

    Facial Procedures
    When you look in the mirror, does your face fit your inner image? Do you feel a lot younger than you look? Facial plastic surgery can help merge that image in the mirror with the way you feel inside.
    Breast Procedures
    Too big, too small, too droopy, uneven or more than one of the above? Plastic surgery can change your size and/or shape to better match your build and lifestyle. You may find that bra shopping can be fun, really fun.
    Other Body Procedures
    A healthy lifestyle goes a long way towards a pleasing figure, but sometimes even the most dedicated gym rat will need a little help. So... when you have done your best, let me do the rest!
    Non-Surgical Procedures
    Not ready for surgery? The boom in injectables and medical skin care has revolutionized the way plastic surgeons think about and treat facial aging.
