Now offering CoolSculpting®

Non-surgical and natural way to eliminate stubborn fat.

Say goodbye to muffin tops and love handles.

CoolSculpting® is the coolest, most innovative, non-surgical way to lose those annoying bumps and bulges of stubborn fat. This revolutionary technology targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges. Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting® involves no needles, surgery, or downtime. Patients often spend procedure time reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing.

It's safe, FDA-cleared and effective. Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months.

Call us today to schedule your consultation, to find out if CoolSculpting® is right for you.

What will the results be?

Many patients are satisfied after one treatment. However, during your consultation, we can discuss a treatment plan that will meet your specific treatment needs.

What happens during the treatment?

To initiate the treatment we will position the device on your body. The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour or so later, depending on your needs, you're done.

Can I return to normal activities after the procedure?

CoolSculpting® is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over.

When will I see results?

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after one to three months. Your body is still flushing fat cells and will continue doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

Are the results permanent?

During CoolSculpting®, the treated fat cells are eliminated. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, long-term results should remain stable.

How do I get started?

Call us today to set up your consultation. We’ll see if you’re a good candidate for CoolSculpting® and work with you to develop a treatment plan.

The FDA approved the Allergan/ Natrelle 410 Highly Cohesive Anatomically Shaped Silicone-Filled Breast Implant.

This Natrelle 410 implant is the most selected gel implant product in markets where the product is already available, such as Europe and Canada.

The new 410 gel implant was devised to mirror the natural slope of the breast and is filled with a highly cohesive silicone gel, which enables the implant to hold its contour over time while still staying soft to the touch. This new alternative gives women an option to traditional round implants.

This implant can be used for:
  • Breast reconstruction/Revision: Breast reconstruction includes primary reconstruction to replace breast tissue that has been removed due to cancer or trauma or that has failed to develop due to breast abnormality. Breast reconstruction can also include revisionary surgery to correct or improve results from a primary breast reconstruction surgery.
     
  • Breast augmentation for women 22 years old: Breast augmentation to increase the breast size, as well as revisionary surgery to improve the results for a primary breast augmentation surgery.

Allergan requires surgeons to complete a certification program prior to offering this gel implants to their patients.

We offer monthly seminars and luncheons to educate our patients on the newest products and surgical options. Please contact our office or visit our website to know when the Natrelle 410 will be our next seminar topic.
