These days there seems to be a never-ending list of options available for plumping up your pout, from over-the-counter lip plumping glosses to leave on overnight creams, both of which require constant reapplication, stinging sensations and minimal results.For those women desiring a more substantial and long lasting result, a Chicago Lip Augmentation may be the right option.

Everyone wants a firm, slender midsection. There are many contributing factors keeping us from that slim abdomen.

When it comes to Rhinoplasty, there are generally two main motivations which send people to the Plastic Surgeon. These are for aesthetic improvement and for the improvement of the nose function. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose due to it being too large, too small, having indentations or bumps, than you fit in the aesthetic group. If you are having difficulty breathing through your nose due to an obstruction in your nose structure, than you fit into the functional group. Of course there are some other reasons such as reconstruction due to trauma or illness or revisions to fix a previous Rhinoplasty, too.

If you are dissatisfied with your nose for any reason and are interested in learning if a Rhinioplasty, or Nose Surgery, may be the right option for you, contact our office today to schedule your consultation.

Chicago Eyelid Rejuvenation

One of the first areas we show signs of aging is in the face, specifically around the eyes. The upper eyelid can become heavy and droop, even hanging over the eye which can obstruct your sight and make you look sleep and worn out. Under the eyes dark, puffy bags can form and along the outer sides of the eyes, wrinkles and crows feet are very commonly formed. If you are unhappy with skin around your eyes, you may be a good candidate for Blepharoplasty.

Chicago Blepharoplasty, known more commonly as Eyelid Surgery or an Eyelid lift, is a procedure in which excess skin is removed from around the eye to create a smoother, wider, more alert and youthful appearance. Often time eyelid surgery is performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures like face lifts, forehead lifts or dermal fillers to create a more youthful appearance overall.

Face lift surgery continues to be one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed around the US. As society puts more pressure on men and women to maintain a youthful appearance, more people are looking to cosmetic surgery to stay looking young. When performed by a skilled cosmetic surgeon, face lift surgery can produce some truly amazing results.

Face lift surgery is used to eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. During the face lift procedure, the skin is re-draped, pockets of fat removed, and the skin around the jaw line tightened. This reduces the appearance of sagging skin around the neck. Face lift surgery is often combined with other rejuvenation procedures such as brow lift or eyelid surgery to produce optimal results.

Chicago Arm Lift

Wings on birds are a beautiful sight, but when our underarms begin to flap, it’s often with emotions of dread that they are met. We all have a part of our bodies that are more resistant to diet and exercise than other parts of our body and for some people the arms are the loath of their existence. Also, in age, as our skin begins to lose it’s elasticity, our skin becomes looser and begins to sag. In either case, a Brachioplasty may be the right solution for the individual dissatisfied with their arms to achieve the results they seek.

A Brachioplasty, or Arm Lift, is a procedure designed to remove the excess skin from the upper arm. This is done with an incision that, depending on the amount being excised, will determine the incision length, but the placement is always in as inconspicuous a position as possible such as the armpit or the under-most side of the arm. If stubborn fat cells are also a concern, the Arm Lift may be done in combination with Liposuction to achieve the leaner, more toned results desired.
