The hairline lowering operation is a terrific way for well selected patients to achieve a lower hairline in 2 hours! The operation is performed while the patient is sedated in our certified surgical center by our dedicated anesthetist. An incision is made at the hairline and extends into the temporal area within the hair bearing region. Through this incision the scalp is advanced forward. Excess forehead skin is then removed and the hairline is placed at a new lowered position. In most cases the hairline can be lowered by about 1/2 to 1 inch in a single procedure. Stitches are removed in one week, most patients are back to work in a few days, and are able to wash their hair the next day. In some cases a follow up hair transplant is desired to lower the hairline further and cover the hair line scar.

3 Month Following Hairline lowering

We just recently saw a patient approximately one year following fat transfer to the calves. She has an amazing, very natural result.

1 year following fat transfer to the calves

Procedure description:
Calf augmentation is done to make the legs appear more shapely and defined. This can create a greater feeling of confidence, particularly in clothes, such as shorts and swimsuits. Calf augmentation can be done with implants or fat injection.  With the fat transfer, fat is harvested from one site on the body (such as abdomen or thighs) and transferred to the calf muscle through a very small incision.

Recovery:
Immediately following the surgery the calves may feel stiff and sore.  Some swelling and bruising is to be expected. Normal physical activities may be resumed a few days after the fat transfer surgery. Patients can resume full activity in 5 to 7 days after fat injections. However vigorous activities such as exercise should be delayed until about six weeks after the surgery.

Risks:
The risks of fat transfer/fat injection are few and minimal. Soreness and swelling are possible. The body can also reabsorb the fat injections, which is difficult to predict. With fat transfer, the average patient may need more than one treatment to get the desired result.
