Plastic Surgery

Are you happy with your face when you look in the mirror or
do you want to see a younger, more attractive you?

Facial rejuvenation and cosmetic surgery performed by a skilled plastic surgeon can return vitality and youth to your reflection. Plastic surgery can change an undesirable feature and make you appear the way you have always wanted. When it comes to some of the most common problems that come with aging, there are cosmetic solutions that can be quick and easy as well as fixes crafted with expertise and precision. Both can offer results that will make you happy with your reflection:

Eyelid Lifts/Forehead Lifts
These help open up the eye area, making them more prominent and providing a rested appearance.

Facelifts, Mini-facelift
Sagging facial and neck skin is part of the aging process but is corrected with a facelift achieving youthful contours of the cheek, eyes, and mouth

Stem cell Facelift / Fat Transfers
As we age we loose the fullness in the face of youth. Fat transfers add volume to the face and fills in lines and wrinkles, especially the hollowness under the eyes. Your own fat with stem cells is used and is transplanted to where needed.

Nose surgery
Rhinoplasty can correct birth defects and breathing problems but also can be used to dramatically improve appearance, having a tremendous impact on self-esteem.

Facial Implant:
Adds contouring to the face.
Dermal/Fascial Graft and AlloDerm: Add fullness to lips and smooth out unwanted lines around the mouth.

Injectables:
Botox^®, Juvederm™, and Restylane: Smooth unwanted lines and restore a youthful look to the lips and face. If you’re considering facial cosmetic surgery, We can recommend a treatment plan that meets your goals and explain the satisfying results you can expect.

Facelift and Necklift (Rhytidectomy)
Sagging in the face and neck cause an aged appearance. Facelift and necklifts remove excess fat and tighten underlying muscles. Cosmetic plastic surgery of the face can “turn back time” by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines, sun damage and sagging skin that can make you look angry, sad or tired. New Radiance Plastic Surgeons perform different types of facelifts and customizes the lift for each patient to achieve a natural, long lasting result with the most rapid recovery. As we age, muscles become loose and drop underneath the skin. A facelift results in a natural, softer look and creates definition along the jaw line and neck, without tightness. We take special care to hide scars inside the ear which allows wearing hair up after surgery with no visible scarring. Most patients are able to resume their normal routines within 7-10 days after surgery. Other types of facelifts for younger patients with lesser degrees of aging are also performed.

Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
PROBLEM: Forehead creases, drooping eyebrows, hooding over eyes and furrowed forehead and frown lines causes an aged appearance by removing excess tissue, altering muscles, and tightening the forehead skin.
GOAL: Forehead lift or “brow lift” can bring a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes.
PROCEDURE: Remove excess skin and alter underlying muscles. Once completed, the area is sutured snugly in place and loose bandages are applied. Some patients are candidates for the endoscopic approach where incisions are made in the hair-bearing scalp and the brow is repositioned.

Eyelid Surgery
PROBLEM: When eyelids droop or bulge, the face can appear fatigued and tired despite adequate rest and good health.
GOAL: Eyelid surgery, or Blepharoplasty, can correct sagging upper eyelids and puffy bags below the eyes.
PROCEDURE: Removal of excess fat, skin and muscle.

Insurance Coverage:
Sometimes the sagging in the upper eyelids is so significant that it can obstruct an individual’s vision. In these situations, the upper Blepharoplasty may be covered by health insurance.

Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
PROBLEM: Patient wants to change the shape or size of their nose.
GOAL: Nose surgery (or Rhinoplasty) can correct birth defects or breathing problems, improve appearance and have a tremendous impact on self-esteem.
PROCEDURE: Reshaping the nose may involve reducing or increasing the size, removing a hump, changing the shape of the tip or bridge, narrowing nostril span, or changing the angle between the nose and upper lip. Incisions are often made inside the nostrils or base of the nose, allowing the cartilage and bone to be sculpted into the desired form.

The right clothing can hide a multitude of sins. But if you’re not happy with the body that’s underneath, body contouring surgery may be the solution for you. There are so many factors that can affect the firmness and contours of your figure. From weight fluctuations to childbirth to aging, there are some change – like sagging skin -that even the most rigorous diet and exercise regimens can’t address.

Dr. Salvador offers advanced body-contouring procedures to reshape the breasts, abdomen, thighs, and other parts of the body. The success of body contouring, whether to reduce, enlarge, or lift, is influenced by your age, as well as the size, shape and the skin tone of the treated areas. Depending upon these factors, Our Staff can take you through a recommended treatment plan that will enhance your figure in proportion, tone, and contour.

Arm lift (Brachiplasty)
PROBLEM: Aging as well as an area of concern for those patients having significant weight loss is excess tissue in the upper arm area. No matter how much exercising or toning you do, that skin will stay there unless surgically removed.The

PROCEDURE: While some patients who have mostly fat tissue and only a small amount of excess skin on the back and inside of the upper arm can be treated with liposuction, the only way to correct a significant amount of excess skin is to make an incision and remove the extra skin. An incision is made from the underarm area extending along the inside or back of the upper arm to the elbow. To obtain the best contour it is sometimes necessary to extend the incision across the underarm area and slightly on to the side of the chest.

Thigh Lift – Lower Body Lift
PROBLEM: After significant weight loss, often there is excess tissue in the medial upper thigh, just below the pubic area. No matter how much exercising or toning you do, that skin will stay there unless it is surgically removed.

GOAL: Improve contour in thighs. Our technique also aims to minimize the appearance of the scar through incision location and appropriate fat removal.

PROCEDURE: With the lower body lift the excess skin and fat from the outer thighs and buttock is removed. If you have lost a significant amount of weight or have poor skin tone related to normal aging you may benefit from this procedure. This procedure removes the excess skin and fat from the outer thighs and buttock and thereby tightens the underlying support layers of the skin. As the result of a lower body lift, the buttock and outer thighs will look tighter and more attractive. Liposuction can be performed in conjunction with a lower body lift to further enhance the overall result.

Contouring after Weight Loss
PROBLEM: For the more than 10 million Americans suffering from morbid obesity, weight loss surgery (or gastric bypass) has become increasingly viewed as an important method of inducing massive weight loss. In most cases of massive weight loss, however, the patient is left with excess, baggy skin.

GOAL: We can address the problem of stretched out, redundant skin by offering innovative body contouring procedures that allow patients to feel good about their new bodies.

PROCEDURE: With careful mapping of tissue and the use of new shaping techniques, Our Surgeon can reduce the overall bulk of sagging skin, giving a more pleasing appearance to the body.We can also provide updated and innovative methods that adjust treatment according to body type for improved results and enhanced shape of patients’ bodies.

Liposuction, Laser liposuction, Smart Lipo, Laser Lypolysis
PROBLEM: Patient has areas of loose skin or fat deposits that are diet and exercise-resistant.

GOAL: Liposuction improves body shape in areas such as chin, neck, upper arms, abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, calves and ankles by removing exercise-resistant fat deposits.

PROCEDURE: Liposuction uses a tube and vacuum device. This procedure can be performed using the super wet technique, in which targeted fat cells are infused with an epinephrine solution before liposuction to reduce post-operative bruising and swelling. For larger volumes of fat or for fibrous body areas, ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL) may be used. UAL is a technique in which an ultrasound probe is inserted beneath the skin to “liquefy” the fat before it is suctioned. Dr. Salvador also employs Laser-assisted Fat Removal (SmartLipo), which can be performed in the office on appropriate patients.

The procedure has stemmed from those who seek a firm and sexy rear end as a Brazilian butt lift surgery makes it possible. The procedure is also excellent for those who have lost weight and feel their butt lacks shape or who simply wish to enhance the look of their back side.

Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery (Fat Transfer)
A Brazilian butt lift enhances the size and shape of a patient’s butt and provides an attractive, sculpted rear end. In order to perform Brazilian butt lift surgery, fat from areas of the body such as the back, abdomen, hips, and thighs is removed through liposuction. The fat cells are purified and only the best fat cells are used for injection into the buttocks at various depths for a natural look and feel. The final result is a rounder, fuller behind. A Brazilian butt lift is a safe form of plastic surgery that has the added benefit of using a patient’s own tissue. The Brazilian butt lift procedure has been shown to be a safe and effective way to provide patients with long lasting, beautiful results.

Fat Transfer Surgery by Dr Salvador, Palm Beach’s premier plastic and cosmetic surgeon

What Is Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer is a simple and safe method primarily used for contouring the face and replacing lost skin tissue due to aging or scarring. Dr. Salvador has extensive experience and training in fat transfer surgery. Fat transfer results are immediately apparent. During fat transfer surgery fat cells are transferred from one area of the body to another. As an alternative to collagen, Restylane and Perlane treatments, fat transfer is an alternative procedure used to fill in facial creases, wrinkles or other depressions in the skin caused by surgery, aging, acne or trauma. Fat transfer can also be used to refine, enhance and contour the lips, cheeks, jaw, brows and under the eyes. Since fat transfer uses your body’s own tissues, generally, the body does not reject the cells. The result of fat transfer surgery is a soft and natural look.

Your Fat Transfer Consultation
Dr. Salvador will meet with you and discuss the details of the fat transfer procedure. Upon examination, he will see if you are a good fat transfer candidate. Dr. Salvador may suggest spreading out your fat transfer procedures over several treatments.

Your Fat Transfer Surgery
Fat transfer surgery is done at a state-of-the-art, fully accredited ambulatory surgery centers. In most patients, the fat is obtained from the buttocks, thighs, or abdomen in a process similar to liposuction but with more attention to keeping the fat cells healthy. Local anesthesia is often all that is used as only a small incision or puncture is required. Once the fat is harvested, excess oils and fluids are removed. The fat is then re-injected into the desired area through a tiny tube. Fat transfer surgery lasts 1-3 hours.

Fat Transfer Recovery
Fat transfer punctures are barely noticeable. You may experience some swelling and bruising in the incision/puncture areas. Most patients can return to work within seven days after the fat transfer procedures and can resume most normal activities in about two weeks. Since some fat is reabsorbed into the body, touch up fat transfers at a later date may be necessary. Fat transfer results vary from person to person but the corrections generally last several years or more. Fat transfers rejuvenate one’s appearance by erasing wrinkles, restoring youthful facial contours, plumping lips, and smoothing scars, sagginess, and other skin imperfections. Donor areas for a fat transfer tend to be the hips, abdomen, or even buttocks, and popular fat transfer recipient areas include the cheeks, lips, buttocks, labia, and penis.
