Plastic Surgery Procedures - Northern Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC
The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery serving Northern Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC invites you to learn more about the aesthetic plastic surgery procedures our board certified plastic surgeons offer to change your appearance.
FACIAL PROCEDURES
Facial rejuvenation, or facelifts, may include several procedures, each selected specifically for your needs. Our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons have many years of experience in helping to restore sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and the many signs of aging that make you appear older than you feel.
Combined with other procedures, facelift surgery can improve the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening muscles and re-draping the skin of your face and neck. Facelift surgery cannot stop the aging process, but it can set back the clock.
Facial sculpting can be done to restore a more youthful look or to simply enhance a feature you're unhappy with. Through either liposuction or fat transfer your face and neck area can be sculpted to give you a defined jawline and neck area.
Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty is a popular procedure for improving the overall look of your eyes and is recommended for healthy adults of any age.
Brow lift surgery may be your best option if your drooping eyebrows, frown lines, and wrinkles across the forehead are all contributing towards your face showing a tired or sleepy appearance.
Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) generally focuses on the removal of a large nasal hump or the narrowing of the nostrils to improve the shape and size of a patient's nose. This may be done in conjunction with other rhinoplasty or nose surgery procedures to achieve maximum facial balance.
Using incisions that can be cosmetically hidden at the corners of the mouth, our plastic surgeons are able to smooth out and fill most problem areas. Combined with other facial rejuvenation and refinement options, such as eyelid surgery, a chin or cheek implant, Fraxel™ Laser treatments, cosmetic fillers and BOTOX® Cosmetic, your face and the area around your mouth can be restored to a youthful more natural appearance.
As we age, fat deposits and wrinkles accumulate around the neck and our skin loses tone and begins to sag. Thanks to the elasticity of our skin, sagging skin in the neck can be corrected with neck lift or cheek lift surgery by gently pulling back the skin and tightening loose muscles around the neck. Both neck lifts and cheek lifts are a variation of a facelift.
Combined with some targeted liposuction of the neck or a mini-facelift procedure, such as the tightening of muscles in and around the chin and neck, a restored more refined and balanced profile can be achieved with a chin implant, chin reduction and cheek implant procedures.
Otoplasty, ear surgery, is a surgical procedure performed on children and adults to re-contour or pin back protruding ears. Since ears are almost fully grown by the time a child is five years old, children can have ear surgery (otoplasty) performed at an early age.
Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is best for adults who may want to improve the shape, position or would consider ear pinning surgery to improve their appearance and profile.
Maybe it is the deep creases around the nose, the nasolabial folds or those unsightly frown lines on the forehead and marionette lines in and around the mouth that are distracting others from seeing the real you. Fat injections can help by restoring volume and erasing fine lines restoring your face to a youthful more natural appearance.
If you have begun to notice the appearance of unsightly wrinkles from sun-damaged skin, or have some permanent scarring from the effects of acne, or are just experiencing the normal aging process on the skin, laser resurfacing may be one solution to consider.
With any combination of Fraxel™, Botox® and Juvederm™, the results can be amazing. By itself, Fraxel helps to restore the quality of the skin, erasing years of sun damage and abuse. Fraxel™ is recommended to anyone who wants more vibrant, younger looking skin. The results we are achieving are remarkable. FDA-approved Fraxel™ is the safe and effective “gold standard” for acne scars, wrinkles, age and sun spots. For deeper wrinkles, combining Fraxel™ with other non-surgical treatments, can accomplish even more. Botox® and fillers like Juvederm™ can help to erase wrinkles and rebuild youthful contours.
BREAST
Whether you want to repair the changes caused by pregnancy or you simply want to increase your breast size, the board certified Northern Virginia breast augmentation surgeons of The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery can help.
Sagging breasts are one of the most common effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding, in addition to being a natural result of gravity’s effects over time. If your breasts have begun to sage with age or after having children, breast lift surgery is one option to restore your youthful, feminine contours.
If you are tired of the pain and inconvenience of having very large breasts, breast reduction surgery can be the relief you have been searching for.
Mothers that choose to nurse can be left with sagging breasts, as breasts tend to lose volume after the mother has stopped nursing. As a result of pregnancy, a woman may be left with breasts that have little or no fullness.Mommy makeovers can fix sagging breasts that have lost volume and shape.
Some men develop enlarged breasts, or gynecomastia, due to an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone while others experience a significant change in breast size while undergoing adolescence.
By removing excess fat deposits, we can significantly reduce the size and shape of the male breast.
BODY
If you are bothered by excess fat deposits - located anywhere on your body - that don't respond to diet or exercise, liposuction may be right for you. Ideal candidates for liposuction are:
- Adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone;
- Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing;
- Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for body contouring.
Women with bell shaped body proportions, small at the shoulders and wide at the tummy and hips, find abdominal liposuction, or liposuction of the abdomen area, to be a good starting point for removal of excess fat deposits and restoring the proper body proportion in the abdominal area.
Liposuction on different areas of your body target the fat deposits that are visible just under the bra line on the side and back of most women.
Liposuction of the hips for men targets the area just above the waist, the area commonly referred to as the "love handles" or "spare tire." Liposuction of the thighs targets the inner and outer thighs on the legs. The unique problem areas in and around the flanks, hips, and thighs can be substantially improved resulting in a more proportioned overall body contour.
If you have experienced rapid weight loss from pregnancy or extensive dieting and exercise, you may find the area around your waist sagging with excess skin and fat deposits. Tummy tuck surgery can remove excess fat deposits around the waist area that can cause discomfort from irritated skin rubbing together or embarrassment from the loss of a natural contour.
Women that have gone through pregnancy often find their lower body area around the abdomen sagging from the weight of excess skin and fat they never fully lost following the pregnancy. Tummy tuck surgery eliminates excess skin and fat around the stomach area as well as tightening the muscles
For most women, particularly following pregnancies, excess skin stretched from the trauma of child birth and fat deposits that have caused the body to lose its tone and shapely appeal can result in a body contour that needs professional attention. Diet and exercise programs may not be enough as some areas of the body are resistant to these types of programs.
Mommy makeovers can fix sagging breasts that have lost volume and shape, tummy lines that have retained excess fat deposits, visible stretch marks and unwanted fat deposits around the hips and thighs.
PLASTIC SURGERY FOR MEN
Some men have been unhappy with a certain part of their body all of their lives and are becoming aware of what can be accomplished under the care of a board-certified plastic surgeon. Others watch parts of their body change as they get older and decide to do something about it. Some are concerned their necks no longer look good in a dress shirt. Many want to get rid of the weight that accumulates in the abdomen and hip rolls. Others target the “droopy” look around their eyes.
