As we get older, we may notice the effects of aging on the face.  These are the combined effects of gravity, sun exposure , and stress on the skin and muscles of the face. Deep creases often develop around the nose, mouth, and eyes.  The jaw line may begin to sag due to muscle laxity and the effects of gravity on the fat in the cheeks (so called jowls). Fat deposits may accumulate in the chin and neck region. These changes, the aging appearance of the face, affects our body image and self-esteem. By tightening the skin, removing excess fat deposits, and tightening the underlying muscles of the face, Dr. Salomon can restore a more vibrant and well rested appearance.  Dr. Salomon can talk with you regarding the various options available as well as the risks and benefits.

The surgeon’s training and expertise, the quality of the anesthesia care providers and the surgical facility, are all key elements essential to a successful outcome.  The choice of a plastic surgeon is an important one. There are a number of things every patient should consider before undergoing cosmetic surgery.

Choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified through the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Other surgical specialties may perform cosmetic surgery procedures.  However, a plastic surgeon is uniquely qualified and trained, and has the experience necessary to provide the best procedure for any given cosmetic problem in a safe and consistent manner.

Avoid “special discounts” either in the US or abroad.  The maxim that “you get what you pay for” applies to cosmetic surgery discounts.  Although there are some excellent plastic surgeons in foreign countries, they are not required to provide the same proof of training, experience, and expertise in cosmetic surgery in order to practice surgery.
