As we age, the effects of gravity, genetics, weight loss, and poor nutritional choices becomes increasingly apparent in how we look both in and out of clothes. Fortunately, many options exist to improve the body’s shape and proportions. Body contour enhancement surgery includes shaping procedures for the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, arms and upper torso. Depending on the extent of contouring you desire, these can include one or more of the following procedures:  ​

• Liposuction​
  
• Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
  
• Lower Body Lift
  
• Arm Lift
  
• Thigh Lift
  

Dr. Chris Patronella specializes in breast enhancement surgery to restore a beautiful appearance to the breasts no matter the issue. Here are some of the options:

• Breast Augmentation
  
• Breast Lift
  
• Breast Reduction
  
• Breast Revisions
  
• Combined Procedures
  

As part of his facial rejuvenation approach, Dr. Patronella uses a combination of procedures that include lifting techniques, muscle tightening, and skin excision to smooth out lines and restore a firm, fresh appearance to the eyes, forehead, face, and neck. These procedures include:

• Facelift
  
• Neck Lift
  
• Eyelid And Brow Lift
  
• Rhinoplasty

The condition of enlarged male breasts, also known as gynecomastia, affects 40 to 60 percent of all men. This condition can cause discomfort as well as low self-confidence for men of all ages. It can be caused by a hormonal imbalance, certain medications, genetics, being overweight, aging. Gynecomastia surgery is the ideal solution for this condition when all preventable causes have been ruled out. Some procedures that are commonly undergone with gynecomastia surgery include:

• Ab Sculpting
  
• Pectoral Sculpting
  
• Liposuction
  
• Tummy Tuck​
  

Cosmetic injectables can be combined to soften lines and enhance facial contours in a method that is sometimes referred to as a “non-surgical facelift” or a “liquid facelift.” Though they can provide a more uplifted facial appearance when used to contour the cheeks, injectables cannot correct sagging skin and tissues and provide the extensive lifting that is achieved with a face lift, eyelid surgery, or a browlift. Here are some options we offer:

• Injectables
  
• Ulthera®
  
• Skin Rejuvenation
  
• Scar Therapy
