I am so excited to offer the FaceTite/BodyTite nonsurgical skin tightening system in the office. This is a brand new device utilizing radiofrequency technology. I have been using radiofrequency for many years in my practice and love the natural results from this technology. One of the reasons why this is able to tighten skin is that when tissues in the body are heated to a certain temperature(around 42 degree C), collagen is stimulated.
When collagen starts getting produced in any tissue in the body, this begins to create a tightening and firming effect. What FaceTite/BodyTite is able to offer is controlled […]
Most people may believe that a facelift is accomplished by simply pulling back the skin of the face to reduce sagging and the presence of folds and wrinkles. In reality, the facelift procedure requires numerous steps and addresses loose excess skin, underlying structures of the face, and pockets of accumulated fat.
During the facelift procedure, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Troy Pittman will make several incisions to gain access to the underlying structures of the face. He will sculpt the tissue of the cheeks, jaw, and neck to enhance their definition and aesthetic appeal. Excess skin will be surgically removed, and the […]
Asymmetrical breasts are a common issue that many women across the globe live with. Some women may have a slight difference in their breast size that is virtually unnoticeable while they are in clothing. Others may have breasts that vary significantly in size, making it difficult to disguise the issue.
If you have one breast that is significantly larger than the other, undergoing a breast reduction procedure can bring balance to your breasts and restore your confidence in your appearance. This option is ideal for women who prefer smaller breasts due to the proportions of their body or due to their […]
As the warmer weather quickly returns, many are reminded of this by the increased sweat in their underarms. I am certainly no exception when it comes to this. Many associate Botox or Dysport with a wrinkle reduction treatment on their face. However, there is another treatment that can equally revolutionize the way you feel, particularly the way your underarms feel.
I finally decided to have Botox applied in order to stop the underarm sweating. I tell my patients all the time about the benefits of Botox and Dysport as not only as a relaxer of the lines on the face, but […]
The tummy tuck procedure is one of the few procedures that that enhances both the visual and physical aspects of your stomach. The procedure is designed to create a more visually appealing abdomen, and it accomplishes this by physically tightening the tissues of the abdomen.
The abdominal muscles can become worn and stretched, causing the abdomen to bulge outward. During the tummy tuck procedure, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Troy Pittman will suture the abdominal muscles closer together as a way to tighten the abdominal wall. This will create a tighter abdomen that you can actually feel.

I’m very proud to be one of the first injectors in the country to offer Juvederm Vollure, the newest addition of dermal fillers. It is FDA approved for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles, such as the nasolabial folds, in adults. The nasolabial folds, also known as “Smile Lines”, can be reduced by adding volume to the cheeks and midface.
Many people have been asking what makes Juvederm Vollure different. Vollure is within the same family as Juvederm Volbella and Voluma and uses Vycross technology. The improved crosslinking of Vycross combines both low and high molecular weight Hyaluronic acids to […]
Many people don’t pay much attention to the appearance of their ears, because the majority of people properly developed ears that look natural and don’t stand out too much. However, some people have malformed or disfigured ears as a result of genetic factors or due to damage done to the tissue of the ear.
Otoplasty provides these individuals with a way to reshape their ears for a more natural appearance. This include resizing and reshaping the ear, as well as adjusting the amount of projection the ear has. Otoplasty can be performed on older individuals and on children as young as […]
The facial plastic surgery landscape is constantly evolving. And in the interest of educating my patients and anyone else who’s interested, here’s small post highlighting 5 trends for facial plastic surgery I’ve noticed recently.
1. Combination Therapies For Facial Rejuvenation
Facial plastic surgeons are becoming experts at combining nonsurgical therapies for facial rejuvenation. This includes the most popular treatment of dermal fillers plus neurotoxins to smooth wrinkles. Other treatments include raising and lifting sagging tissues plus laser skin resurfacing to get rid of excessive hyper-pigmentation. I believe that using combination therapies are the best way to get the most consistent results amongst his […]
Gynecomastia is a medical condition that produces oversized breasts in males. This is a common aesthetic issue among males going through puberty. Males who have an excess amount of body fat in their chest also have oversized breasts, but this issue is significantly different from gynecomastia.
Many men who have excess fat in their chest have found great success through dieting and exercise. This is not the case for males who suffer from gynecomastia. The primary cause of oversized breasts in males with gynecomastia is not excess fat – it is the presence of excess glandular tissue. This tissue must be […]
