- Medical Weight LossPregnancy, significant weight loss, and aging often lead to saggy, excess skin around the midsection. Sagging belly skin can be unsightly and can even lead to skin irritation and infection. Tummy tuck surgery addresses this issue through excision and repositioning of the remaining abdominal tissues.
- Urinary IncontinenceResearchers have found abdominoplasty can improve low back pain and urinary incontinence. Strengthening the abdominal muscles during the procedure also strengthens the pelvic area. Tummy tuck tightens the soft tissues, which provides more support for the pelvic floor and bladder, improving some of the associated problems, such as bladder leakage.
- Laser Eye SurgeryBOTOX® was approved by the US FDA in 1989, and has the longest period of proven clinical testing and safety in the world. The safety profile of BOTOX® Cosmetic is considered to be excellent. It has been used for patients with various conditions for over 10 years in over 60 countries. Patients who are pregnant, nursing, allergic to albumin (eggs), taking certain antibiotics, affected by any neuromuscular or collagen vascular disease, or that have had any recent eye surgery may not use BOTOX® Cosmetic. For more information on the benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic, schedule an appointment with Dr. Mabourakh.
- PregnancyMommy makeover reshapes a woman’s appearance to address changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth. Each woman is unique and may have specific concerns with their breasts, abdomen, waist, buttocks or genitalia. Mommy makeover includes procedures that address your aesthetic goals for one or more of these areas. The right combination for your needs depends on your anatomy, overall health and cosmetic concerns.
- Labor and DeliveryPregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding take a toll on women’s bodies, and they struggle to snap back with diet and exercise alone. Many women experience permanent changes to their breasts and skin and find it challenging to drop all their baby weight. Mommy makeover is a term for a combination of procedures that strive to restore a woman’s body after childbearing. This highly customized surgical approach requires a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, such as our Dr. Shahriar Mabourakh.

- RadiologyReconstruction has no known effect on the recurrence of disease in the breast, nor does it generally interfere with chemotherapy or radiation treatment, should cancer recur. Dr. Mabourakh may recommend continuation of periodic mammograms on both the reconstructed and the remaining normal breast. If your reconstruction involves an implant, be sure to go to a radiology center where technicians are experienced in the special techniques required to get a reliable x-ray of a breast reconstructed with an implant.

- General SurgeryA good sign of a surgeon’s competence is certification by a surgical board that is approved by the american board of medical specialties. When you choose a surgeon who is board certified in a surgical specialty, you are assured that he or she has completed years of residency training in his specialty and has demonstrated his knowledge and competence by successfully completing a rigorous examination. Dr. Mabourakh is board certified in general surgery as well as plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

- BotoxThroughout our entire lives we are blessed with emotions. We smile, laugh and even frown. These emotions cause muscle activity, which result in wrinkles. While you have earned every emotion, you may want to hide the results and that’s where BOTOX® Cosmetic comes in.
- Brow LiftA forehead or brow lift can do wonders for your appearance and self-esteem by reducing facial lines that make you look angry, tired, or older. A brow lift can correct heavy, sagging brows, eliminate deep furrows, and remove forehead wrinkles by utilizing the classic or endoscopic brow lift on the forehead and repositioning muscles and tissues.
- Eyelid SurgeryExcess, droopy skin that has developed along the upper eyelid can interfere with your field of vision while also making you look tired. Eyelid surgery eliminates excess skin along the upper eyelids to correct vision impairment and produce an aesthetically pleasing look.
- LiposuctionMen’s love handles traditionally have been difficult to treat. Tumescent liposuction works well on women but in men the fatty deposits are more dense and fibrous in nature and tumescent liposuction dose not work well. Ultrasonic liposuction is the method of choice in men. After the tumescent solution is injected, the area is first treated with an ultrasonic probe to break down the fibrous tissue. In the next step small liposuction cannulas are used to contour the region. This is all done through a few very small incisions that are well hidden.
- Breast AugmentationBreast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the world. It restores a sense of confidence and femininity to women by increasing breast size and improving breast shape with either silicone or saline implants. Whether you have small breasts due to genetics or from gradual volume loss, Dr. Mabourakh can provide you with a result that meets your desires. Schedule a Consultation
- Breast ReductionBreast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty or reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical breast procedure that reduces the size of the breasts. By removing excess breast tissue and skin, Dr. Mabourakh can improve the size and shape of your breasts. This procedure can also help relieve the physical and psychological issues associated with overly large breasts.
- Breast LiftGravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and genetics can all negatively impact the appearance of the breasts. Many women experience some degree of breast sagging (ptosis) that affects their confidence and self-image. Breast lift surgery (also known as mastopexy) can return your breasts to an aesthetically pleasing shape by removing excess skin and breast tissue while elevating the nipples to a more youthful level. Dr. Mabourakh has years of experience with this procedure and can help you regain your confidence and feminine physique. Schedule a Consultation
- RhinoplastyRhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, is one of the most intricate and challenging plastic surgeries. The small internal structures mean minute changes can dramatically alter the shape and size of the nose. Previous rhinoplasty techniques focused on the average facial shape and cosmetic standards of Caucasians, but that one-size-fits-all approach didn’t allow patients of other ethnicities to preserve their unique characteristics. Ethnic rhinoplasty considers the rich diversity of facial shapes to preserve your genetic heritage while improving the attractiveness of your nose.
- Breast ReconstructionBut bear in mind, post-mastectomy breast reconstruction is not a simple procedure. There are often many options to consider as you and Dr. Mabourakh explore what’s best for you.

- Thigh LiftThe method of surgery is not complicated, the excess skin is marked and then removed. Removal of excessive skin and fatty tissue of the inner thigh, a thigh lift, uses incisions that parallel the groin crease. The thigh lift is usually performed on the inner surface of the thighs but can include the outer thigh area and buttock if indicated.
- Face LiftGravity, sun exposure, stress, and environmental factors cause many people to develop noticeable signs of facial aging. Facelift surgery improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, loose neck skin, and jowls by tightening muscles, removing excess fat, and redraping the skin. This procedure allows patients to regain a more youthful and rejuvenated facial appearance while still looking natural. Request a Consultation
- Neck LiftSun damage, genetics, and weight fluctuations can result in significant skin laxity and excess fat in the neck area. Neck lift surgery involves removing excess fat deposits and loose skin to reveal a firmer, more youthful neck contour.
- BlepharoplastyTransconjunctival blepharoplasty is ideal for patients who are concerned about pockets of fat beneath their lower eyelids but do not require any skin to be removed. During your procedure, an incision is made inside the lower eyelid and the fat is removed.
- AbdominoplastyDr. Mabourakh performs drainless abdominoplasty, known more commonly as “tummy tuck surgery,” which is a procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper, middle, and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. A tummy tuck can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen and give you a tighter, slimmer midsection. If you are troubled by abdominal skin laxity, weakened abdominal muscles, and stubborn belly fat, Dr. Shahriar Mabourakh can help you achieve the silhouette of your dreams. Request a Consultation
- Nose SurgeryThe nose is shaped from bone and cartilage underneath the skin tissue. When these elements are off balance with the rest of the face, patients may feel their nose appears too broad, flat, narrow, bumpy, or bulbous. The ethnic rhinoplasty procedure adjusts one or more aspects of the nose and is customized to your needs. Typically, nose surgery takes about one to three hours to complete using various techniques that enhance the nasal structures and address cultural-specific issues.
- Breast SurgeryCandidates should also be at or near their ideal weight to achieve the best breast reduction results. Read our blog about the best weight for breast surgery for more information.

- Body ContouringWhen weight loss and exercise alone is not enough, liposuction can help eliminate stubborn fatty deposits. Liposuction is not an answer to excess weight but is a great for body contouring. There are many techniques including tumescent, ultrasonic assisted liposuction (UAL), or power assisted liposuction (PAL). Liposuction is an outpatient procedure with minimal incisions that are well hidden. Liposuction can treat almost any body area. We use very small cannulas for best result.
- GynecomastiaYounger boys, especially during puberty, are likely to experience mild gynecomastia, which may resolve itself naturally. Surgery is typically not performed on patients under the age of 18. No matter your age, though, it is important to discuss the causes of your gynecomastia with a medical professional before undergoing surgery.
- Cosmetic SurgeryLess than you think. After years of being perceived as something only for the rich and famous, cosmetic surgery is now priced for everyone. People from all income brackets are undergoing surgery. In fact, half of the patients who undergo cosmetic surgery make less than $25,000 a year. Breakthroughs in medicine and outpatient surgery have brought the price of cosmetic surgery down considerably over the years, while the quality has gone up.
- Facial ImplantsFacial implants can enhance your appearance and bolster your self esteem. If you are looking for improvement, not perfection, in your appearance and are realistic in your expectations, you may find that a facial implant is the right choice for you. Schedule a Consultation
- Bariatric SurgeryYes, many men improve their body shape with abdominoplasty. Typically, men who’ve lost a lot of weight and had a “beer belly” struggle with loose skin and diastasis recti. Men who have had bariatric surgery or lost massive amounts of weight after healthy lifestyle changes want to feel comfortable in their bodies, and tummy tuck can provide a flatter, tighter abdominal appearance. Some men combine the procedure with male breast reduction for a more masculine chest and abdomen.
- Forehead LiftA forehead lift can adjust the way your skin muscles and fat lay on your forehead. This treatment can change your appearance to reflect a more open and alert expression when at rest. A forehead lift may also make your eyes more expressive.

The Cynosure® Icon™ laser system offers treatments for a wide variety of skin concerns including: fine lines, wrinkles, freckles, age spots, vascular lesions, scars, stretch marks, and even unwanted hair.
