Baltimore plastic surgery procedures

Otoplasty is ear surgery, sometimes referred to as ‘ear pinning,’ and is often performed to change the shape and/or position of the ears. It can be performed on one ear or both ears. In most cases, ear cartilage is reduced so that the ears appear closer to the head.

Ear surgery can create a better balance and proportion while improving the shape or appearance of the ears. This often has a profound effect on appearance and self-esteem. Patients who have Otoplasty often feel free to explore new hairstyles and stop wearing hats to hide their ears.

Rhinoplasty, often called a nose job, reshapes the nose to enhance both its appearance and function. For patients who need adjustments only to the nasal tip, tip plasty focuses on refining the tip without altering other parts of the nose.

When patients need functional improvements, such as correcting a deviated septum, alongside cosmetic changes, septorhinoplasty combines both in one procedure. This dual approach not only helps patients achieve a balanced, attractive appearance but also improves breathing.

A lip lift commonly refers to an upper lip lift, a cosmetic surgery procedure that raises the upper lip to create a more youthful, relaxed smile. However, there are two types of lip lifts: Upper lip lifts and Corner lip lifts.

An Arm Lift, also called Brachioplasty, removes extra skin and fat between the underarm and elbow. This reshapes your arm, making the skin smoother and firmer. The type of Arm Lift you need depends on how much skin you have and where it is. We usually perform this procedure under IV sedation, which is safer and has fewer risks than General anesthesia. Most patients need to take 1-2 weeks off from work to recover.

A Breast lift tightens and removes excess skin, raising the nipple and breast tissue to create a firmer, more lifted look. Most women have the procedure on both breasts, but it can be done on just one side to correct asymmetry.

The more sagging you have, the more extensive your surgery will be. The surgeon’s technique and skill determine how much scarring you’ll have.

Over time, the skin and ligaments that support your breasts stretch and weaken. This process is sped up with pregnancy or weight loss. A Breast Lift focuses on removing extra skin and repositioning the nipple to give you a more youthful look.

The Thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to tighten the skin of the thigh and reduce sagging in the inner or outer thighs. Outer thigh lifts are commonly added as an extension to a Tummy Tuck. The Outer thigh lift helps to lift the buttocks. There are two types of Thigh lifts:

• Inner thigh lift (aka Medial thigh lift)
• Outer thigh lift

A Facelift, also called Rhytidectomy, is a plastic surgery procedure that tightens wrinkles and sagging skin on the face and neck. The goal is a natural, refreshed appearance, helping you look younger without appearing “done.”

There are several types of facelifts, usually referring to which part of the face is being rejuvenated. Variations include:

• Brow lift
• Mid Facelift
• Lower Facelift
• Full Facelift
• Fat transfer to the face

A Posterior Butt Lift is a skin-tightening procedure that removes loose, hanging skin from above the buttocks. By removing this skin, the buttock tissues are lifted, improving the overall contour and giving a more youthful, perky appearance. It is especially suitable for patients who have lost significant weight through dieting, gastric bypass, or weight loss drugs like Ozempic.

The B’more Butt Lift focuses on making your buttocks stand out by eliminating the “muffin top” fat around your  waist. This procedure uses Lipo 360, a circumferential liposuction technique that removes fat around your entire torso. Many women have a muffin top that hides their natural buttocks. By removing this fat from the abdomen, flanks, and lower back, we reveal how much more prominent your buttocks truly are.

We call it the B’more Butt Lift in honor of our Baltimore practice, where women enhance their natural buttocks with this transformative procedure. It’s similar to Lipo 360, but with more focus on sculpting your buttocks for a defined and enhanced appearance.

Will the Procedure Increase My Butt Size?

By strategically removing fat from your waist and above the buttocks, the B’more Butt Lift makes your buttocks look larger. In most cases, you already have more buttock volume than you realize—the excess fat in your muffin top hides it!

However, if you’re looking for a major size increase or added volume to your hips and buttocks, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) could be a better option. The BBL sculpts your torso and adds volume to your buttocks with fat injections, unlike the B’more Butt Lift, which enhances your natural shape.

Breast reduction, or Reduction mammaplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure that removes excess skin and fatty tissue, lifting the breasts and making them smaller. Because it’s often used to relieve pain associated with having large breasts, it is considered reconstructive surgery and is frequently covered by medical insurance.

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery for women that reduces the size of the inner lips of the vagina. The labia minora (inner lips) can vary in length. The average length is 61 mm, but some women have labia up to 100 mm long.

Women often choose this surgery to reduce discomfort or improve appearance. Tight clothing can be uncomfortable for women with long labia.

A Brow Lift, (also called a Forehead Lift), is a surgery that raises the eyebrows to a more youthful position. It helps make your face look younger, as the eyes are a key focus. The procedure can be done with small incisions in your scalp using an endoscope, and recovery usually takes about a week.

If you have droopy upper eyelids, a Brow Lift can make your eyes look more rested and refreshed. It also lifts the upper cheeks and temples for a younger appearance. After a Brow Lift, you may not need Botox or Xeomin injections for forehead wrinkles, as the Brow Lift provides a long-lasting solution.

Laser resurfacing of the skin is a method to make the skin of the face appear younger-looking. Generally speaking, the laser creates damage to the top layers of the skin, which has the immediate result of a tightening of the skin. The procedure can be performed in an office setting under local anesthesia, or it can be performed in the operating suite at the same time other procedures are being done.

There are now many types of lasers on the market. I am not a fan of laser therapy. I believe that many types of lasers damage adipose stem cells and the tissue matrix. We have seen patients with fat atrophy in the facial area after laser therapy. Over the past 20 years, patients from all over the world have contacted me to repair damage done by various types of lasers.
