Eyelid surgery (technically called
blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove fat — usually along with excess
skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct
drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes — features that make you
look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your
vision.
Botox® is a brand name for the purified form of a plant
bacterium called botulinum toxin type A, which is produced by the bacteria,
clostridium botulinum. Botox® functions as a therapeutic
muscle-paralytic agent. According to the American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery, Botox® is the fastest growing cosmetic procedure
and is the second most common procedure after face peels.
Your skin is a living organ
made up of millions of cells. Everyday thousands of cells die, fall off and
are replaced by new cells from below. Unfortunately, as we age this becomes
a slower and more haphazard process, making your skin unable to shed dark
blotches, sun damage, or a dull, lifeless complexion. The function of a skin
peel is to create an even, controlled shedding of several layers of damaged
cells. This exposes a new fresh layer of skin with a more even color and a
smoother texture. In addition, the peel stimulates new cells to grow,
thereby tightening the skin, which decreases wrinkling.

The FAMI procedure involves two stages. First, removal of
fat from the lower part of the body with a procedure similar to Liposuction
called Lipo-harvesting. This harvested material is refined by separating the
larger fat cells from the fibroblasts, stem cells, and smaller fat cells.
The second stage of the operation involves injecting each of the facial
muscles with a portion of the harvested material. This is accomplished with
the use of specially designed instruments.
As we age, our faces begin to lose shape. In the quest to
eradicate the signs of aging, patients continue to demand better results
with less recovery time. Recent advances in technology aim to meet those
demands, giving physicians and patients many options for facial

Thermage is a safe, clinically proven way to tighten and contour skin,
with improvements in tone, contour, and texture occurring naturally through
the stimulation of your own collagen. It is completely non-invasive—no
surgery, no injections. A single treatment tightens your existing collagen
and stimulates new collagen growth. Improvements are both immediately
visible and continue up to six months. Results can last for years depending
on your skin condition and aging process.
