Brachioplasty – Coastal Cosmetic Surgery
There are a couple of factors which may lead to a person seeking out surgical treatment to improve the contour of their arms. Most common factors include individuals who have gone through a dramatic weight loss and are now left with excess sagging skin under their arms, and elsewhere on their bodies. Another common factor is people who have difficulty toning their arms due to pre-determined, genetics which can cause pockets of fatty cells in the arm area which are resistant to diet and exercise. Both of these groups of people can be helped through Brachioplasty.
Brachioplasty, or Arm Lift Surgery, is a procedure in which excess skin is removed. In cases where stubborn pockets of fat are also an issue, Liposuction is often used in conjunction with Arm Lift Surgery to provide the best results. For those with sagging, excess skin on other parts of the body, as well as under the arms, an Arm Lift Surgery may be done as a part of a whole Body Lift procedure to improve the contour of the body as a whole by removing excess skin.
We invite you to contact our office to learn more about this procedure and schedule a consultation with one of our skilled, board-certified plastic surgeons to find out if brachioplasty may be right for you.
Jacksonville Rhinoplasty
There are many reasons men and women consider plastic surgery. A common complaint is dissatisfaction with the nose. There are both functional and aesthetic reasons for people to be unhappy with their noses and Jacksonville Rhinoplasty can help.
Rhinoiplasty, also called Nose Surgery, is a procedure to improve the nose. For some patients the complaint is chiefly aesthetic- dissatisfaction with the overall size of the nose, or with the tip of the nose, or with the profile of the nose due to bumps or indentations, or dissatisfaction with the size or shape of the nostrils. In other patients the complaint may be purely functional- dissatisfaction with the nose due to difficulty breathing from conditions such as deviated septum. In a lot of patients it’s a combination of both aesthetic and functional goals which need to be improved to create the ideal results.
Whether your goals are aesthetic, functional, reconstructive or some combination thereof, we invite you to contact our office and schedule a consultation with one of our board certified plastic surgeons.

Jacksonville Breast Reduction Surgery
Women with large, overdeveloped breasts often struggle with physical and emotional pains associated with larger breasts. Chronic neck, back and shoulder pain is often prevalent and can hinder daily activities and lifestyles. Women with larger breasts can have difficulties sleeping and exercising due to pain, discomfort and even trouble breathing. Shopping and fashion choices can be hindered as many of these women may find their large breasts are out of proportion with the rest of their body, causing any clothes they can find that fit make them appear to be much heavier than they actually are. In addition, many women with overly large breasts can often feel self-conscious and inhibited in social situations.
While there is no one answer for every woman dealing with overly large breasts, many choose to undergo a Breast Reduction surgery to reduce the size of their breasts. This has been an incredibly successful procedure for many women, restoring confidence, life choices and alleviating pain. If you are over the age of 16 and thinking about a Breast Reduction, we invite you to contact our office to schedule a consultation with one of our Board Certified plastic surgeons who will asses your goals and develop a plan which best suites you.
Jacksonville Tummy Tuck
Men and women who have recently undergone a dramatic weight loss, women who’ve had multiple pregnancies, as well as people who have a difficult time losing weight in their mid-section may be good candidates for Abdominoplasty.
Abdominoplasty, also known as Tummy Tuck, is a procedure in which the excess skin and fat in the mid-section is removed and the muscles of the abdomen are tightened. When the muscles of the abdomen become loose or separated, the abdomen sticks out, but once they have been sutured closer together, the abdomen lies flat. The remaining skin is then closed over the newly flattened abdominal muscles to create a more contoured, flattering mid-section.
Often Abdominoplasty may be done in conjunction with other procedures such as Liposuction, Breast Lift, or Thigh Lift. If you are ready to discuss your options for a more finely contoured waist, contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation.
A Combination Breast Augmentation & Breast Lift
For women interested in enhancing the size of their breasts, breast augmentation is often the answer. For some of these women, however, a breast augmentation alone may not be able to create the ideal look. What breast augmentation can do is increase the size of the breasts and improve the shape of the breasts. What it can’t do is lift breasts which have begun to sag or droop.
There are many things that cause a woman’s breasts to begin to sag such as breast feeding, changes in weight, aging, and genetics. Some of these may cause a women to feel her breasts have “deflated” and a breast augmentation can help to restore lost mass, but a breast augmentation coupled with a breast lift can also create perkier, firmer, more youthful looking breasts.
The best way to determine if a breast augmentation alone, a breast lift alone or a combination breast augmentation is right for you is to set up a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Contact our office today to schedule yours!
Jacksonville Brow Lift
Our faces are almost constantly in motion from the time we are baby making faces back at Mommy to the time we are Moms and Dads ourselves making faces back at baby. Our faces are constantly communicating our thoughts, feelings, and emotions- even when we don’t realize it. As we start to age, our faces are naturally one of the first areas to begin to be effected by the signs of aging. Lines, creases and wrinkles start to set in and suddenly it may seem your face has begun to communicate something different than what you are actually feeling… perhaps people begin to comment that you seem tired, negative, or even angry. The lines on your face are telling a different story than your inner story.
Through a Brow Lift procedure those fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead and brow area can be smoothed out creating a more youthful, relaxed and alert appearance. Often times patients opt to combine a brow lift procedure with other facial rejuvenation procedures like blepharoplasty (or eyelid lift), dermal fillers, or even a full face lift or neck lift. Discussing your goals with a plastic surgeon is the best way to determine what treatment plans are possible. Contact our office today to set up your consultation appointment with one of our Jacksonville Plastic Surgeons.

Jacksonville Blepharoplasty
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.
Jacksonville 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.
