Abdomen
For some patients looking for a flatter, tighter
abdomen, liposuction alone is not enough. Abdominoplasty
(or "tummy tuck") not only removes fat
but also tightens the underlying abdominal muscles
and trims away loose skin. This procedure is often
chosen by people who have lost a significant amount
of weight or by women who have had multiple pregnancies.
Arm Lift The upper arms are an area of concern
for many people. Arm lift is a surgical procedure
that can remove excess fat and loose skin from
the upper arms, also tightening the muscles if
necessary. This procedure can slim down arms,
but it is also useful for people who have already
lost a significant amount of weight and are bothered
by excess loose skin.
Alloderm
Made from real, purified human tissue, Alloderm
is an incredible product that can be used for
a number of purposes, including lip augmentation.
Because it contains collagen and other substances
natural to the body, Alloderm looks and feels
very realistic. Lip augmentation with Alloderm
can help to plump up thin lips, creating a more
attractive appearance.
Brow lift
One of the simplest and most effective types of
cosmetic surgery, a brow lift (also sometimes
called a forehead lift) removes wrinkles and sagging
skin from the forehead. It can help raise drooping
eyebrows as well. Brow lift can reduce furrows
and lines that make a person look older, angry,
or exhausted. It is often combined with facelift
to provide overall facial rejuvenation.
Breast Augmentation
Having full, nicely shaped breasts can give a
woman confidence and satisfaction with her appearance.
Breast augmentation can help women with small
or unevenly sized breasts as well as women who
have had to undergo a mastectomy (breast removal)
for breast cancer. Using saline implants, Dr.
Munasifi can help to create natural-looking breasts
that add balance and beauty to your figure.
Breast Lift
With time, many women notice that their breasts
begin to sag and lose volume. Breast lift is a
surgical procedure that can help to move breasts
back into a higher position (the nipple can be
moved as well if need be). Implants can be used
in conjunction with breast lift if women need
to also increase the volume of their breasts.
Breast lift helps restore a younger, more attractive
silhouette.
Breast Reduction
For women who have large, heavy breasts, breast
reduction can provide many benefits -- better
appearance, less discomfort, easier exercise,
and less self-consciousness. Breast reduction
surgery removes fat, tissue, and skin from the
breasts. The nipple is also repositioned. Sometimes
covered by insurance (if it is used to relieve
medical problems such as back pain), breast reduction
has a high patient satisfaction rate.
Botox
Facial lines and wrinkles can be effectively treated
with Botox, one of the most popular cosmetic treatments
available today. Botox works by forcing the muscles
surrounding a wrinkle to relax. The skin can then
smooth, making the wrinkle diminish or disappear.
Botox is administered through a series of injections
in the desired treatment area. It is most often
used for wrinkles on the forehead, between the
eyes, or around the mouth. Although the results
are not permanent, Botox can provide you with
smoother, younger-looking skin for three to four
months per treatment. It can be repeated when
the results fade.
Chin
A weak chin can detract from a person's profile
and even make a nose appear too prominent. Chin
implants can help to augment a weak chin while
bringing balance and harmony to a patient's face.
The procedure is often combined with a facelift
or rhinoplasty in order to achieve more dramatic
results.
Cheek
High cheekbones have often been touted as a key
to beauty. Well-defined and proportioned facial
features can help a face look more balanced and
attractive. Cheek implants can help add definition
and improve overall facial appearance.
Chemical Peel
Smoother, younger-looking skin is concealed beneath
the damaged outer layers. Chemical peels help
remove the sun damaged, wrinkled, outer layer
of skin to reveal the healthy layer below. Several
different strengths are available to suit the
various needs of patients. Chemical peel is one
of the best ways to improve skin's texture and
appearance.
Collagen Collagen injections can be used to add
fullness to the lips or to fill in wrinkles or
scars. A skin test is required before treatment
begins, because some people may exhibit an allergy
to collagen injections. For good candidates, however,
collagen injections can be a fast, easy way to
look younger and better. Dr. Munasifi performs
collagen injections as an outpatient procedure
that requires little or no downtime.
Facelift
Facelift is a surgical procedure that tightens
and smooths the skin of the face, neck, and jowls.
Incisions are generally placed inconspicuously
within the hairline and around the ears. Facelift
can remove fat, tighten facial muscles, lessen
wrinkles, and eliminate loose skin. Facelift is
often combined with other procedures such as eyelid
surgery or brow lift, in order to provide more
complete facial rejuvenation
Fat Injection
Fat injection involves collecting fat from one
area of the body (the buttocks for example) and
injecting into lines, scars, or other areas that
need filling in. Fat injection is safe procedure;
because the fat comes from your own body, there
is virtually no chance for rejection. Fat injection
is frequently used to fill in lines and wrinkles
on the cheeks, forehead, and smile lines. It can
also help make depressed scars less noticeable.
Fat injection is not usually permanent, and patients
may need maintenance treatments.
Gynecomastia
Male breast reduction surgery can offer men with
excess fat and tissue in the chest a better appearance
and greater self-confidence. The procedure may
sometimes be done with liposuction alone or may
also involve removing glandular tissue. In either
case, the result is a firmer, flatter, more masculine
chest.
JUVÉDERM™
JUVÉDERM™ is the latest dermal filler advance from Allergan Inc. JUVÉDERM™ is a "next generation" smooth gel, non-animal dermal filler offering a natural look/feel and long-lasting results for up to six months or longer. JUVÉDERM™ dermal filler lasts long because it's the only dermal filler currently available with the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid and a special formulation process. This process creates a smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, creating smooth, natural looks.
Lower Eyes Dark circles, bags, and puffiness are
the dreaded signs of stress and aging that often
affect the lower eyelids. Fortunately, eyelid
surgery can make a significant difference in how
your lower eyelids look. By removing pockets of
fatty tissue, smoothing out wrinkling, and repositioning
the skin and muscle in the lower eye area, Dr.
Munasifi can help you look younger, more refreshed,
and more attractive!
Lip Lift Even the lips suffer the effects of time,
stress, and gravity. Some lips are naturally thin
while others gather lines around them with time.
A lip lift can restore a more youthful and attractive
appearance to a patient's lips.
Laser (Face) Laser skin resurfacing can help restore
health and beauty to your facial skin. Dr. Munasifi
uses powerful laser light to remove the damaged
outer layers of skin. The healthy layer beneath
is thus revealed. Laser skin resurfacing can help
with a host of facial skin problems, including
wrinkling, uneven pigmentation, and scars. Laser
skin resurfacing is usually an outpatient procedure.
After a brief healing period, most patients report
smoother, healthier looking skin.
Liposuction
Liposuction is used to remove fat from specific
areas of the body (not for overall weight loss).
It can help patients who are troubled by fat localized
in areas such as the hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen,
arms, etc. Using a special tube, fat is siphoned
away through small incisions, which can usually
be hidden in the natural curves and creases of
the body.
NIA-24™
By stimulating skin's natural barrier function, NIA-24™ builds stronger, better skin that's more resilient and resistant to damage. By improving the skin's barrier function, overall skin tone and texture improve. NIA-24™ reduces the appearance of visible brown spots, hyperpigmentation and lines specifically associated with sun damage. Without it, skin falls prey to daily sun and environmental stresses that slow skin's self-protective function and speed the visible signs of aging. This special form of Pro-Niacin™ delivers immediate and residual benefits, as well as continuous dermal-delivery of Niacin without vasodialation and photosensitivity.
OBAGI Nu-Derm System
Aging and environmental assaults-such as too much sun, hormones stress and pollution-affect not only the way your skin looks and feels, but also your skin's health. The OBAGI Nu-Derm System is a physician-prescribed skin care system that actually corrects the functions and health of your skin. The System transforms your skin at the cellular level, resulting in skin that looks and acts younger and healthier.
Otoplasty Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a procedure
than can improve the appearance of large or protruding
ears. It can also be used to correct deformities.
Dr. Munasifi most often performs otoplasty on
children between the ages of 6 and 15, but it
can also be done for adults. For children or adults
with large ears that stick out farther from the
head than they would like, otoplasty can not only
improve looks but can also improve self-esteem.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is used to improve
the appearance of the nose and, if necessary,
to improve breathing and correct defects. Rhinoplasty
can make a nose bigger or smaller and can reshape
the bridge, tip, nostrils, and angle between the
mouth and nose. For people who feel self-conscious
about the appearance of their noses, rhinoplasty
can be a highly rewarding cosmetic surgery procedure.
Restylane
Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to sever facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Restylane is the first cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin, including the lips.
Radiesse
RADIESSE is a safe, FDA-approved dermal filler that restores a natural, youthful look and lasts longer than the former leading filler. This convenient treatment fills and corrects smile lines, Nasolabial Folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. RADIESSE is made of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure.
Upper Eyes
Upper eyelid surgery can remove the wrinkles,
folds, and sagging skin that make a person look
older and more tired than they feel. Incisions
can generally be hidden along the lash line and
natural creases of the eye. Eyelid surgery involves
the removal of excess skin and fat and the tightening
of upper eyelid muscles. The results are often
very dramatic.
VI Peel
Dr. Talal Munasifi is one of the first doctors in the country to perform the very latest in skincare prevention, repair and protection. This signature peel is a proprietary blend of acids, vitamins and minerals created to return your face to its natural glow and youthfulness. The V.I. Peel renews your skin to a soft, supple complexion by renewing collagen and elastin, eliminating hyper pigmentation and melasma, while reducing pores, and blending uneven skin tones. This new advanced peel delivers immediate results with no real down time.
Thigh Lift The thighs prove to be a problem area
for many people. Despite a healthy diet and exercise
plan, thighs may still sag and bulge with excess
fat. In addition, after weight loss, extra skin
may hang unattractively from the thighs. Thigh
lift is a surgical operation that can remove fat
and tighten lax thigh muscles. Thigh lift can
be a very effective way to improve the appearance
of the legs and overall silhouette.
