Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is one of the top 3 most popular cosmetic surgical procedures in the U.S. Hundreds of thousands of women have taken the step toward a shapelier figure. Breast Augmentation may be used to correct volume loss after pregnancy, balance breast size asymmetries, or simply to enhance the shape and size of your breasts. There are several techniques commonly used to perform breast augmentation. The best technique for you will depend upon your particular anatomy and your desired results. In your personal consultation Dr. Boyd will look at photographs with you and listen to your wishes in order to design a customized plan to maximize your results. Various implant options are now available including saline implants and cohesive silicone gel implants. These are commonly referred to as “gel” or “gummy bear” implants. For added piece of mind, Dr. Boyd now offers breast implants with a lifetime leak guarantee. Please contact us today to schedule your consultation.

Breast Lift

There are many types of breast lifts ranging from a minor elevation of the nipple and areola to complete modification of the breast with a full breast lift.  Breast implants, breast lift surgery, or mastopexy can restore a more youthful appearance to a woman’s breasts and reverse the effects of aging and gravity. This procedure can also reduce the size of the areola, which is the dark skin around the nipple.  Occasionally, we will see patients who think they need a lift but are able to get the results they desire with an breast implant alone.  It is often difficult for a patient to know just what they need and while Dr. Boyd is not currently scheduling surgery for new patients who need a full breast lift, he does offer consultations to patients seeking a professional opinion regarding their specific needs.  If your requirements are outside Dr. Boyd's current scope of practice, he will provide you information, options, and alternatives for your next steps should you wish to pursue breast lift surgery.  Contact us if you would like to schedule a consultation where we will discuss your potential options and see if there is a solution we can offer you in our center.  We ask you to please be aware however, if you require a full lift we will most often need to refer you elsewhere for surgical consideration due to current scheduling restraints.

C-Section Scar Revision/Mini Tuck

The experience and miracle of childbirth is nothing short of amazing but the process can have many unwanted effects on a woman's body that will not respond to diet and exercise. A woman's breast and abdomen go through some of the most extreme changes during pregnancy. and often times results in volume loss in the upper part of the breast, drooping and sagging of the breasts, and possibly loose skin with stretch marks on the lower abdomen. For women who require a Cesarian Section (C-Section) during their child's birth, the effects can be magnified with a thick or contracted scar on the lower abdomen. These body changes can be uncomfortable, unsightly, and make it difficult to find clothes that fit properly.

Some women are candidates for breast augmentation to restore their breast volume.  This can sometimes be paired with revision of C-Section scars and removing stubborn abdominal "baby fat", and contouring the torso. There are a wide range of options and procedures that can benefit patients depending on their specific anatomy. In your consultation, you will meet with Dr. Boyd and he will review your specific situation along with your hopes and desires. Together, you will discuss a custom plan tailored to address your concerns and maximize your individual results.

Liposuction

When diet and exercise alone are not producing the results that you desire, you may consider liposuction to eliminate pockets of fat in stubborn areas. Liposuction is a very popular procedure that is designed for the permanent removal of fatty tissue that is out of proportion to the rest of the body. Dr. Boyd performs liposuction using the pure Tumescent, no incision, microcannular technique. A special solution is used to provide local anesthesia to the area being targeted. Next, micro-suction cannulas no bigger than a pencil lead are introduced through 1.5-millimeter sites called adits. These small cannulas allow for smoother results while minimizing trauma to the tissues. The local anesthesia solution minimizes bleeding and greatly reduces the risk and recovery associated with traditional liposuction. Tumescent liposuction is widely regarded as the safest form of liposuction.

Patients are amazed to find they can talk on their cell phones or listen to music while the procedure is being performed and with this technique most patients are back to work in a day or two with only Tylenol needed for postoperative discomfort.

If you have a troublesome area that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise, contact us for your consultation to see if Tumescent liposuction is right for you.

Botox & Facial Fillers

Botox is a non-surgical treatment effective in temporarily minimizing the appearance of lines and wrinkles by reducing the activity of small muscles causing the wrinkles. Common treatment areas include frown lines between the eyebrows and on the bridge of the nose, crow's-feet at the corners of the eyes and forehead creases. A typical treatment can be performed in our office in less than 10 minutes with no recovery time.  A few days after treatment, patients begin to notice a gradual improvement in lines and wrinkles in the treated area that can last up to 4 months. Please contact us today to schedule your appointment.

Facial fillers can be used to restore volume loss and smooth wrinkles in certain areas of the face. They can also be used to add fullness to lips and enhance your smile. Facial Fillers can be administered in our office in only a few minutes and their effects can last up to a year or more depending on the treatment area and the type of filler that is best for your situation.
