Question:
What's the difference between reconstructive surgery and plastic surgery?

Answer:
Plastic surgery can be divided into two categories, reconstructive and cosmetic.  Reconstructive surgery changes function and structure that must be changed, eg for skin cancer or a cleft lip and palate.  Here is a link to some of our reconstructive work:

Cosmetic surgery changes your appearance because you want to change it, not because it needs to be done.

I recently heard great things about something called BodyJet liposuction. Can this be used on the face as well as the body?

The amount of fat removed with liposuction of the face or neck is so small that this technology hardly seen necessary in these locations.

I would like my chin to look like James Dean. Currently I have no chin, or it recedes so much it seems that way. Can I get exactly the chin I want with a chin implant?

Question:
My 4-year-old daughter has a large hemangioma on her cheek. I understand that it is not dangerous but I do not want her to have to listen to kids calling her names. She has heard enough name-calling in her four short years. When do you suggest that we get this removed? Is this usually an outpatient procedure?

Answer:
The general rule is that these go away 10% per year for the first 10 years of life. At that point it may be small enough to treat with a dye laser.

Question : I notice that when I am not smiling, it looks like I am frowning. People actually comment that I seem angry.  I don’t know if this involves just my mouth or both my mouth and eyes. Would a consultation help me identify whether I need a cheek lift, an eyelift or both?
