- Medical Weight LossArm lift surgery, also known as “brachioplasty,†improves the appearance of the upper arms by removing excess tissue. Loose, sagging skin often develops as a result of significant weight loss, or it may be a result of the natural aging process. Stubborn fat accumulations may hang limply, and every movement may cause your upper arms to swing back and forth. Arm Lift Surgery with Dr. Pollack in San Diego can improve the appearance of the arms and eliminate the dreaded “bat wings,†and removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms.

- MRIWhen saline implants leak or deflate, it is usually obvious; the body absorbs the saline, and the breast becomes noticeably smaller. However, the rupture of a silicone implant may only be detected by MRI. Older silicone implants that rupture are at risk of capsular contracture and developing scar tissue. Newer silicone implants use a more cohesive gel that will not leak if they rupture, but they should still be replaced. If a patient has a ruptured implant, Dr. Pollack can replace one side only or both, depending on the patient’s needs and desires.
- ChemotherapyBreast reconstruction can be performed at the same time as your mastectomy (immediate reconstruction) or months or years down the line (delayed reconstruction). While many women would prefer immediate reconstruction—as they will never have to see themselves without their breast—it is not a possible option for women who are still undergoing treatment, such as radiation or chemotherapy.

- Face LiftA loose, sagging facial appearance can leave you feeling older than you actually are. Facelift surgery provides hundreds of thousands of women and men with a firm, more youthful look every year. People choose facelift surgery to tighten and smooth their facial skin that has begun to sag and wrinkle. If you lack confidence or are uncomfortable with how you look due to a drooping facial appearance, facelift surgery may be the right procedure for you.
- Neck LiftIt is common for patients to decide to have a blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) at the same time to remove the excess upper lid skin that could potentially be obscuring the upper eyelid fold. Other complementary procedures, such as facelift or neck lift surgery, can be combined as well, meaning a single recovery and less overall cost in the long-run.

- Laser ResurfacingLower Eyelid Lift – An incision is made just beneath the lower lash line to remove excess skin and fat. If puffiness is extremely apparent, an incision may be made inside the lower eyelid to correct it, and laser resurfacing can be used to tighten and smooth the periorbital skin.
- Cosmetic SurgeryThe skin at the earlobes is unique in the sense that a piercing can remain open for years. In fact, the skin in a piercing will remain open and even continue to stretch over time, especially with the consistent use of earrings, in particular heavy earrings. Additionally, ear gauges have been very popular in recent years and can cause ear lobes to stretch drastically and even tear, with these openings only getting worse as time goes by. However, there is a way to repair this damage through cosmetic surgery. Dr. Pollack offers a simple earlobe repair procedure that can be done quickly with minimal pain and a rapid recovery. Patients can walk out of the door and be wearing their favorite pair of earrings within a few months.
- Bariatric SurgeryThe best candidates for post-bariatric surgery are individuals in good overall health who have realistic expectations of the procedure. Potential patients should have some or all of the following conditions...
- Forehead LiftAs aging persists, the eyebrows can begin to droop over the eyelids and lose the natural arch that was once apparent. This can leave patients looking angry or sad even though they may not feel this way. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, can correct drooping and lines in the forehead by moving the tissue above the eyes to a higher position and eliminating excess skin. Dr. Larry Pollack performs brow lift surgery on a regular basis at his San Diego practice for patients who want to restore a youthful and rested appearance to their upper face.
