- Medical Weight LossThe truth is, even when you give it your best shot, weight loss might not happen in all the right places, leaving stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise. This is where our Sacramento liposuction procedure can help.
- Urinary IncontinenceTummy tuck also has medical and physical benefits. First, removing loose, excess skin makes exercise easier and more comfortable. Tightening the abdominal wall strengthens the core, which can help alleviate back pain and improve posture. Tummy tuck can also correct ventral hernias and improve stress urinary incontinence, two conditions that can occur after massive weight loss, or pregnancy. In addition, many tummy tuck patients report feeling motivated to maintain their flatter and leaner abdomen by practicing a healthier lifestyle (i.e., eating healthily, exercising regularly).
- GynecologyEndoscopic surgery – surgery involving the use of a fiber optic video camera attached to monitor – has been used extensively in Gynecology and Orthopedics for years. Today, it also allows a plastic surgeon to see inside the body without the requirement of a long incision. In fact, in the case of a forehead lift, it allows for 3 to 5 small or “short” incisions, rather than one, large continuous cut. The benefits of the short incisions include less scarring, less loss of blood, less sensory loss and shorter recovery times. Ultimately, in both procedures, your surgeon removes or modifies muscles and tissue beneath the skin, while usually lifting the brows and securing them into place. The result of either surgery is raised eyebrows and a smoother forehead with less frown lines and furrows. Prior to any cosmetic surgery procedure, be sure to follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions on taking medications and vitamins, eating, drinking and stopping smoking.
- Pregnancy
- Labor and DeliveryShe was very conservative with me. I wanted to go bigger, but she had asked me if I was planning to have children because they would increase during childbirth and most likely retain the larger size. 6 years later, she was so right. After my breast augmentation I was about a full B to small C. During my pregnancy I went up to double Ds. After two kids, I am now a large C. I am so glad I took her advice to stay conservative on the size. However at the end of the day, it was my choice and I know she would have gone bigger if I had asked for it, but her opinion and advice really helped me make the right choice for me. I think the fact that she responded to the earlier commenter, shows that she does care about her patients and meeting thing wants and expectations. She is a phenomenal doctor.

- Ear SurgeryEar surgery can take from 2 to 3 hours, although if extensive work is required, the procedure might take longer. In most instances, a small incision is made on the back of the ear, where cartilage is then accessed and, ultimately sculpted to a more desirable shape or size. In other cases, cartilage is removed to provide a more natural looking ear. Sometimes, reshaping is achieved by the combination of the removal of skin and stitches to fold cartilage back upon itself. Prior to any cosmetic surgery procedure, be sure to follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions on taking medications and vitamins, eating, drinking and stopping smoking.
- Reconstructive SurgeryWith the EarWell system, an infant’s abnormal ear can be molded into a normal-looking ear! The molder is soft plastic and is tolerated by babies without any difficulty. The ear molder is placed on the baby’s head in the office or hospital nursery in a matter of a few minutes. It is left in place for 2 weeks. It is then replaced in the office with a new molder. This process is repeated for up to 6 weeks. Using the EarWell system can save a child from the embarrassment of teasing by other children, as well as avoiding reconstructive surgery.
- BotoxNeuromodulators have been studied and used medically since the 1980s. They are derived from a form of Botulinum toxin and injected into areas of the face and body to obtain the desired result. Botox cosmetic was the first neuromodulator to be FDA approved to soften facial wrinkles. The Skincare and Laser Center uses the 2 most common neuromodulators: Botox Cosmetic and Dysport. Our philosophy is to have products that offer safe and effective results.
- Brow LiftAs collagen production declines and years of accumulated sun damage make your forehead skin thinner, lines that once only appeared on your face when you made certain expressions will start to look like permanent indentations. By tightening the skin, brow lift helps to diminish the creases across your forehead as well as the vertical frown lines between your brows.
- Eyelid SurgeryScars resulting from eyelid surgery are usually minor. Often they are only visible when you close your eyes. When a surgeon makes the upper eyelid incision, it may sometimes also include a small portion of the “crow’s feet” area. Even here, the resulting mark will be faint. The thin skin of the eyelid is actually less likely to form scars than thicker skin elsewhere on the body.
- LiposuctionBut with liposuction, you can congratulate yourself knowing you’ve selected the most popular cosmetic procedure in the U.S. and one of the most requested right here in Sacramento – liposuction. This procedure can forever rid you of those hard-to-lose pockets of fat in your buttocks, thighs, abdomen, upper arms or back. Perhaps it’s a little “double chin” that’s bothering you. Whatever your concern is, our doctors can help.
- Breast AugmentationMillions of American women have breast implants, and the numbers are growing every day. The fact is, breast augmentation in Sacramento, CA, is the most popular cosmetic procedure for women at our practice. And with the beautiful results we can achieve, it’s no surprise.
- Breast ReductionLarge, drooping breasts can be much more than just a pain in the neck; they can cause you to suffer from pain in your back as well as led to skin irritation, grooves in your shoulders, difficulty breathing and even skeletal deformities. Along with the physical discomfort associated with a top-heavy body, many women also feel self-conscious. For all of these reasons, many insurance companies in Granite Bay and Sacramento will cover the expense of your breast reduction.
- Breast LiftWomen who are non-smokers, in good health and interested in raising their drooping breasts to a more youthful position are strong candidates for this elective procedure. Mastopexy is especially popular for women who have given birth, lost weight or started menopause, all of which are factors that can aggravate breast ptosis. During a consultation with one of our elite plastic surgeons, you can learn whether you are a good candidate for this procedure and set realistic expectations about what breast lift can achieve.
- RhinoplastyRhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that changes the shape and size of the nose. Also known as a nose job, rhinoplasty can be used to improve breathing or enhance the appearance and symmetry of the nose and face.
- Plastic SurgeryWhile microneedling has been a popular non-surgical treatment for rejuvenating the skin for a few decades, PiXel8-RF marks the latest and most successful advancement in microneedling technology. The Plastic Surgery Center now offers this state-of-the-art equipment from Rohrer Aesthetics and our team of doctors is excited to share PiXel8-RF’s revitalizing results with our Sacramento clientele.
- Thigh LiftYour surgeon can discuss what you can expect to see after liposuction, as well as additional treatments you may be interested in such as laser skin tightening procedures or a “lift” surgery like tummy tuck, thigh lift or arm lift that removes excess skin to rejuvenate a section of the body.
- Face LiftThe signs of aging begin subtly — a new laugh line, looseness of the cheeks and neck. But eventually you may feel like you just don’t look like yourself anymore (even though it may not seem that way to anyone else). We can’t stop the aging process. However, in most patients, we can turn back the hands of time, helping them look about 10 years younger with a facelift in Sacramento.
- Neck LiftAfter facelift, the loose, wrinkled skin of the neck may present a noticeable contrast with your rejuvenated facial appearance. If you were born with skin that lacks flexibility and resilience, your neck skin may lose integrity and begin to sag. By removing fat, excising skin where appropriate and tightening neck muscles, a neck lift procedure can ensure your neck will enhance your overall look, rather than detract from it.
- BlepharoplastyOne alternative to blepharoplasty is to try a dermal filler. Small injections of products such as Juvederm, Restylane or Sculptra can smooth out the skin around the eyes, brightening your look.
- AbdominoplastyAbdominoplasty in Sacramento: Tummy tucks are on the minds of many moms. Abdominoplasty tightens stretched and weakened stomach muscles and removes flabby tummy skin. Enjoy your baby AND your pre-baby body.

- Body LiftYour surgeon at The Plastic Surgery Center in Sacramento can determine if you’re a good candidate. Other body sculpting procedures, such as a tummy tuck or body lift might be recommended as a better alternative to achieve your specific goals. Prior to any cosmetic surgery procedure, be sure to follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions on taking medications and vitamins, eating, drinking and stopping smoking.
- Breast SurgeryImmediately following your breast surgery, bandages will be placed on your breasts, and you will be fitted with a surgical bra (a compression garment that promotes healing). You will need to wear this bra for up to a month; your surgeon will provide you with information regarding bathing. Any initial discomfort following your procedure can be minimized with medication. Several weeks of swelling and bruising is to be expected, as is some temporary loss of feeling in your nipples.
- OtoplastyImmediately following the procedure, the head is wrapped in a bandage to promote the desired molding and to expedite healing. You must sleep on your back, propped up on 2 to 3 pillows in order to diminish the amount of discomfort and swelling you may experience. Pain medication is useful in minimizing any discomfort. Stitches either will be removed or will dissolve on their own after about a week. Adults usually return to work 5 days after their otoplasty cosmetic surgery in Sacramento, children usually go back to school after one week.
- Lip AugmentationRestylane® Silk, Is a hyaluronic acid injectable for a subtle, smooth and natural looking indicated for lip augmentation and perioral wrinkles.
- Body ContouringCoolSculpting is a great option to remove fat from the abdomen, back, bra-strap area, inner or outer thighs, buttocks, knees and submental area (underneath the chin). Candidacy for CoolSculpting is determined on a case-by-case basis. The Plastic Surgery Center screens each individual patient to determine whether CoolSculpting is right for their body contouring needs and goals.
- Laser ResurfacingGenerally, after resurfacing, the area treated is covered. The healing process takes approximately 2 weeks. During this time, the area will be pinkish or reddish in tone, although this color can be easily camouflaged with professional skin care and makeup provided to you – along with training – at our on-site Skin Care Center medical spa. All patients are properly trained on taking care of their skin, so that the more youthful looking skin achieved with laser resurfacing can be kept healthy. Although most men and women show no side effects of their laser skin treatment after about 4 to 6 weeks, it can take 3 to 6 months depending upon both your skin type and the depth of the laser treatment.
- GynecomastiaIn addition to the hips and thighs, patients commonly seek reductions in the abdomen, buttocks, arms, neck or back. Men may also choose liposuction as a way to treat gynecomastia, a condition characterized by an increased volume of fat in the chest area. Liposuction is sometimes used to treat jowls and cheeks, although The Plastic Surgery Center team may recommend alternative procedures for facial areas.
- Cosmetic SurgeryOur surgeons are skilled in combining cosmetic surgery procedures to achieve just the results you want. Here are just a few of the most common procedures performed as part of a Mommy Makeover.
- Facial ImplantsAs we age, our faces begin to show the effects of ultraviolet rays, earth’s gravity and life’s daily stress. Loss of elasticity allows jowls to form, creases to appear between your eyebrows and your neck muscles to weaken and separate. You just don’t seem to look like you anymore. Thankfully, The Plastic Surgery Center offers an amazing array of facial rejuvenation options in Sacramento to counter the forces of nature. Time-tested, state-of-the-art treatments such as a Facelift, Facial Implants and Nasal Surgery can actually reverse the signs of aging by replacing collagen, resurfacing the skin or correcting imperfections.

- Skin CareMicroneedling is a type of skin care treatment that has been proven to treat fine lines, some forms of hyperpigmentation (brown spots on the face or body), scarring, rosacea and shrinking pores. The procedure, also known as collagen induction therapy, is performed at The Skincare and Laser Center through the use of the Bellus MicroPen. Doctors use the Bellus Micropen to gently puncture the skin with an oscillating tool that contains superfine needles which glide across the skin’s surface. These tiny puncture marks create columns under the skin’s surface which stimulate collagen production. This collagen production makes skin suppler and improves overall texture.
- MicrodermabrasionFor patients seeking to promote and preserve a glowing, youthful complexion, HydraFacial is an increasingly popular choice. It’s a step beyond microdermabrasion, offering both greater convenience and the flexibility to choose among a wide range of topical solutions and techniques.

Restylane is a natural facial filler made from non-animal stabilized hyalauronic acid, so no allergy testing is necessary. The entire procedure can be completed over lunch. Although dermal fillers are not permanent, you can expect to see results that last for as long as 6 months.
