Botox Norfolk

Botox (Botulinum Toxin) is a one of the most popular non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment options performed today. Both men and women are taking advantage of Botox’s ability to smooth out the appearance of unwanted lines and creases that are forming due to repetitive muscle movements in the face. While many people think of Botox as the name of this type of treatment, in fact, it is just one name brand for the botulinum toxin therapy. Other brand names for this treatment include Dysport®, MYOBLOC®, and XEOMIN®.

Administered in just minutes with little to no discomfort, the Botulinum Toxin treatment delivers results that can be seen in as few as 3-7 days and last as long as 3-4 months or longer. No downtime is required afterwards for recovery, so patients can get right back to their daily activities. If you are interested in learning more about Botulinum Toxin treatment to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and to find out if it may be right for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation today.

Dermal Fillers Norfolk

Dermal Fillers are a popular non-surgical way to reverse those unwanted signs of aging. Lines, creases, and wrinkles can make us not only look older but like we are constantly run down and worn out. There are various types of facial rejuvenation treatments available these days, but the important thing to know is what is causing those signs of aging you want to reverse. There are different factors that can lead to these lines and creases occurring such as sun damage, genetics, loss of volume or repetitive muscle movements. Dermal Fillers are specifically designed to target areas of volume loss in the face.

When you lose volume it can create a hollow or sunken-in appearance. Sometimes it isn’t a loss of volume but rather a deficiency of volume that has always been an issue–as is common for those seeking lip enhancement. Dermal fillers can create fuller lips or more defined cheek bones as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. To learn more about dermal fillers and to find out if they may be right for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation today.

Breast Augmentation Norfolk

Breast Augmentation is the most popular of cosmetic surgery procedures. Breast augmentation is performed for a variety of personal reasons with saline or silicone filled breast implants. There are a number of options to consider in a breast augmentation procedure from implant type to implant size, shape, texture, and placement. It is important to be informed of your options so you can make an education decision and choose a procedure plan that will work best for you short term and long term.

Breast augmentation is sometimes performed in combination with a breast lift procedure to both lift and enhance the breasts. In some cases, the breast augmentation may also be performed as part of a mommy makeover to improve those areas of the body that are most impacted by pregnancy, birth and nursing. If you are interested in learning more about the breast augmentation procedure, and to find out if it may be right for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation today.

Pellevé Norfolk

Pellevé is a non-invasive facial rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction treatment that is helping our patients achieve smoother, younger looking results. Pellevé is an FDA-approved treatment that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) waves that gently heat the deeper layers of the skin which, in turn, triggers the body’s own natural growth of new collagen. Pellevé is great for those looking for a virtually painless, totally non-invasive way to reduce the appearance of fine lines, crow’s feet, and wrinkles. The Pellevé treatment generally takes about 15-45 minutes to perform. As shown in FDA clinical trials, approximately 90% of patients saw photographic improvements at 6 months after the treatment and 85% saw overall improvement in skin brightness, smoothness, and laxity (what keeps the skin tight).

 

To learn more about the facial rejuvenation options we offer, and to find out if Pellevé may be right for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation today.

Facelift Norfolk

Facelift surgery is a cosmetic procedure that has helped both men and women reverse some of those common signs of aging such as sagging in the mid face, deep creases along the lower eyelids, deep creases along the nose down to the corners of the mouth, fallen or displaced fat, loose, excess skin and fatty deposits, and loss of muscle tone. The facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is sometimes performed in combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as a brow lift or eyelid lift to create a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Ideal candidates for the facelift procedure are in good mental and physical health, non-smokers, with realistic expectations for the procedure and its potential results.

Breast Enhancement surgery is performed to increase the size and fullness of the breasts and has also been used to correct a severe breast asymmetry where one breast is significantly smaller than the other. Breast Enhancement is the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure performed in the United States. Women seek out breast enhancement for a variety of personal reasons. This enhancement is achieved through the use of either saline filled or silicone filled implants that come in various sizes, shapes, and textures.

Thigh Lift Norfolk

Thigh Lift is a body contouring procedure that is performed to improve the appearance of the thighs when there is excess, sagging skin the area. Excess, sagging skin in the thighs often occurs after a significant weight loss. In some cases, the thigh lift procedure is performed in combination with other body contouring procedures such as liposuction to also remove stubborn pockets of fat from the area that have been resistant to more traditional methods of fat loss like diet and exercise. The thigh lift may also be performed and paired with a tummy tuck or body lift.

The thigh lift is not a substitute for a proper diet and exercise regime–it is not a weight loss treatment–it won’t give you a supermodel’s legs, but it can give you an improved version of your own, it can achieve smoother, more youthful and toned looking thighs.

The cause of gynecomastia may vary from genetics to disease to drugs to changes in hormones. Men with gynecomastia often feel physically uncomfortable in their bodies and self-conscious of their condition. If you have excess localized fat in the chest that presents on one or both sides, male breast reduction may be right for you.

Some men outgrow the condition, but some men will only find the results they desire through male breast reduction surgery. If you are interested in learning more about the male breast reduction procedure, and to find out if it may be the right treatment for your gynecomastia, contact our office today to schedule your consultation.

Breast Reduction Norfolk

There is a lot of discussion about Breast Augmentation, after all it is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures performed today, but not every woman is looking to increase their breast size. Some women have breasts that are disproportionately large for their figure. When the breasts are overly large this can often cause discomfort and pain from the neck down to the back. Women with large breasts often deal with painful indentations from bra straps and skin rashes and irritations. The pain caused by being top heavy can make physical activities that people who don’t have large breasts take for granted impossible. A woman who is top heavy may find it difficult to find clothing she likes and feels comfortable in and some women feel embarrassed of the attention they get due to their breasts.

There are many personal reasons a woman may choose to get Breast Reduction for and each one is valid. Here at Norfolk Plastic Surgery we understand that each woman comes in with her own set of goals and concerns. We work with each patient to find the best procedure plan possible to get them the results they desire. If you are interested in learning more about your Breast Reduction options, contact our office to schedule your consultation today. We look forward to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals and feel as comfortable and confident in your body as possible!
