New Procedures
ArteFill - the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable injectable wrinkle filler.
ArteFill is the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable wrinkle filler for the correction of smile lines. Results are immediate and require no downtime. ArteFill treatments involve a simple, in-office procedure. Results will improve over the course of several months and stand the test of time, requiring only one or two treatments. ArteFill is safe and effective.
Previous dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid and collagen are eventually absorbed by the body and require frequent repeat injections to maintain correction. ArteFill is different. The unique microspheres are not absorbed by the body and provide permanent support your skin needs for long lasting results!

Blepharophlasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is an operation that corrects sagging, or drooping eyelids as well as bags and bulges around the eyes. These conditions develop as a result of laxity of the eyelid skin and protrusion of fat around the eyes. It is not limited to older patients, as many individuals inherit a predisposition toward development of fat pouches at an early age. Excess skin is treated by excision or occasionally by laser resurfacing. If excess fat is present, it can be removed simultaneously.
Surgical correction is appropriate for all age groups. In some cases, the condition will be caused by other medical problems such as allergy or thyroid disorders. In these patients, the proper treatment may be medical rather than surgical.
Fat Injections
Fat transfer, also called autologous fat transplantation or micro-lipoinjection, plumps up facial features with a patient's own fat, and is a popular alternative to other wrinkle treatments. Fat transfer to the face is a safe, natural non-allergenic procedure, designed to re-contour your face, and can provide definition to your cheeks and chin. It can also be used to correct facial deformities. Since fat transfer uses your own fat cells, you can never have an allergic reaction, because it's from your own body.
With fat transfer, it is possible to have fat liposuctioned from your thighs, for example, and then transferred to any area of your body. Re-injected fat lasts longer in larger areas of non-movement, so it is very successful for the correction of sunken cheeks, because this area does not move as often. Fat transfer can also correct atrophic aging of the hands, and post-surgical and post-traumatic defects. But not every area of the body responds well to fat transfer. The breasts for instance, are not appropriate. Injecting fat into the breast makes it much more difficult to detect breast cancer with mammograms.
Fat transfer is performed on an outpatient basis. Both the area from which the fat is taken and the treatment site are anesthetized with a local anesthetic. Using a small needle attached to syringes, fat is removed from a donor site, where the fat is most tightly packed, such as the abdomen or the buttocks.
Once removed, the fat is processed to remove excess fluids, and then re-injected using another needle, which is placed under the skin beneath the wrinkle. This process may be repeated until the desired correction has been achieved.
