(Breast Surgery is one of Dr. Puri's specialties) Breast Augmentation: Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breast. This is usually done by a saline-filled implant placed behind the breast tissue or underneath the pectoralis muscle. Common incisions that are used are in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola and in the armpit. The pros and cons in the different incisions and implant placement will be discussed at the preoperative consultation. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. You should be able to return to work within a week, depending on the level of activity required for your job. (More Info) Breast Reduction: Breast reduction removes fat, glandular tissue and skin from the breasts, giving a woman smaller, better shaped breasts. It is especially helpful for women who experience back and neck pain, skin irritation, breathing problems and indentations in the shoulders from bra straps resulting from large breasts. The most common technique involves an anchor-shaped incision that encircles the areola, extends downward and follows the natural curve of the crease beneath the breast. Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat from the armpit area. This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and patients usually stay overnight in the hospital. Most patients are up and around in a day or two, but your breasts will ache occasionally for several weeks. Most women can return to work (if it is not too strenuous) in about two weeks. Of note, this procedure is commonly covered by insurance if you meet certain criteria. (More Info) Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Mastopexy is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. This can be combined with a breast implant to increase size. The procedure usually takes 2 to 3 hours and can be performed on an outpatient basis. The incisions usually go around the areola and then extend downward and follow the natural crease beneath the breast. This is usually an anchor-shaped incision. Usually women can return to work within a week or two. (More Info) Breast Reconstruction: For patients that have had a breast removed from cancer or other disease, breast reconstruction is a surgical option. This can be performed at the same time as the breast is being removed or in a delayed fashion. There are several reconstructive options available. The most common reconstructions are skin expansion and flap reconstruction. With skin expansion, a balloon expander is placed beneath the skin and chest muscle. This is gradually filled over several weeks or months. This expander is eventually replaced with a permanent implant. Some expanders are designed to be left in place as the final implant. In flap reconstruction, tissue is moved from one site of the body to the chest to form a new breast. Most commonly, tissue is taken from the abdomen and tunneled beneath the skin to form a new breast mound (TRAM flap). These procedures do require inpatient hospital stays and are usually covered by insurance. (More Info) Male Breast Reduction: For men who feel self conscious about their appearance, breast reduction surgery can help. The procedure removes both fat and glandular tissues from the breast. In extreme cases, skin excess can also be removed. The best candidates for surgery have firm, elastic skin that will reshape to the body’s new contour. If the gynecomastia consists primarily of excessive fatty tissue, liposuction can be used to remove the excess fat. In this procedure, a thin, hollow tube called a cannula attached to a vacuum pump is inserted through a small incision. This device can be used to suction out the excess fat. In some cases, excess skin will have to be removed via larger incisions. This is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. Most patients can return to work within several days to a week.

Facelift/Neck Lift: A facelift (or rhytidectomy) restores more youthful contours to the face and neck by removing excess skin and fat. Muscles are tightened as necessary. The best candidates are those whose face and neck have begun to sag but whose skin still has some elasticity. A facelift can improve deep cheek folds, jowls, sagging around the neck and cord-like structures on the front of the neck. The average operating time is between 2 and 4 hours. The anesthetic is local with sedation or general. Usually, patients stay one night in the hospital. Incisions usually begin above the hairline at the temples, extend in a natural line in front of the ear and continue behind the earlobe to the lower scalp. If the neck needs work, a small incision may be made under the chin. Following the surgery, a small thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin behind your ear to drain any blood that might collect. In general, most patients can wear makeup and return to work within 1 to 2 weeks. Some bruising may persist for 2 to 3 weeks, but special camouflage makeup can hide most bruising that remains. Strenuous activity is to be avoided for 2 to 3 weeks. (More Info) Forehead Lift: Improves wrinkles and frown lines in the forehead and sagging eyebrows by removing excess skin and modifying muscles. The operation usually lasts 1 to 2 hours and is performed under local with sedation or general anesthesia. It can be performed on an outpatient basis. Forehead lifts can be performed via a traditional ear to ear incision or endoscopically in which several small incisions are made within the hairline. Patients can be back to work within 7 to 10 days and should avoid strenuous activities for 2 to 3 weeks. (More Info) Eyelid Surgery: Eyelid surgery (or blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove excess skin (usually along with fat and muscle) from the upper and lower eyelids. This can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes which can make you look older and more tired. The operation usually takes 1 to 3 hours, is on an outpatient basis and is performed under local with sedation or general anesthesia. Typical incisions fall in the creases of the upper lids and just below the lashes in the lower lids. If only fat and no skin needs to be removed from the lower lids, the incision can be made inside the lower eyelid, leaving no visible scar. For the first few weeks postoperative, you may experience excess tearing, sensitivity to light, blurred or double vision. Bruising usually last 2 to 3 weeks. Many patients return to work in 7 to 10 days. (More Info) Chin Implants: Chin implants are usually performed on an outpatient basis, take 1 to 2 hours to perform and are done under local sedation or general anesthesia. Most patients can be back to work within 1 to 2 weeks. (More Info) Autologous Fat Injection/Lip Augmentation: This is a procedure where fat is withdrawn from one part of the body (typically the abdomen or hips) and used to augment the other parts of the body. Autologous fat can be used for lip augmentation and to diminish facial creases such as vertical frown lines and nasolabial folds. Usually this is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis and takes approximately 1 hour. (More Info) Laser Resurfacing: Laser resurfacing may improve conditions such as fine wrinkles, acne scars and areas of uneven pigmentation such as age spots and lines caused by sun damage. It acts by vaporizing the upper layers of the skin. As the skin heals, a smoother and younger looking skin surface appears. The operation takes approximately 1 hour, can be performed under local with sedation anesthesia and is done on an outpatient basis. Your skin will need to be covered with a protective ointment for the first week after surgery. Your skin will be bright pink to red for the first 3 weeks. This redness will gradually fade. (More Info) Dermabrasion: Dermabrasion uses a diamond-impregnated burr to remove the top layers of the skin. It softens sharp edges and may improve the appearance of acne scars, fine facial wrinkles and can be used to remove some precancerous growths called keratoses. The most common risk of surgery is a change in the skin pigmentation. It is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local with sedation anesthesia. After surgery, the treated areas will be red and swollen and will begin to subside in a few days to a week. (More Info) Botox Injections: Botox injections have been used for years to improve active frown lines as well as wrinkles around the eyes (called crow’s feet). In this procedure, Botox solution is injected into the muscles which cause the unwanted lines, causing a temporary paralysis of these muscles. Results usually last approximately 3-4 months.

Otoplasty: Otoplasty is done to set back prominent ears. In general, this procedure can be performed through an incision in the back of the ear. Permanent sutures are placed to reshape the ear. This is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local with sedation or general anesthesia. The surgery usually takes about 2 to 3 hours. Postoperatively, a bulky dressing will be placed to promote the best molding of the ears. This will be replaced by a lighter dressing within several days. Most patients return to work after 1 week.

Liposuction: Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms and neck. The best candidates for liposuction are normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. Through tiny incisions, a narrow tube or cannula is inserted and used to vacuum the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin. Typically, a fluid containing intravenous salt solution, lidocaine (a local anesthetic) and epinephrine (a drug that contracts blood vessels) is introduced into the area first. This fluid provides anesthesia and helps reduce blood loss. Ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL) can also be performed. This improves the effectiveness of liposuction in fibrous areas of the body such as the upper back or in enlarged male breasts. Most patients can return to work within a week. (More Info) Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and can also tighten the muscles of the abdomen wall. The result is a flatter, tighter abdominal profile. In this procedure, a horizontal incision is placed just within or above the pubic area. This incision extends outward toward the hip bones. Through this incision, the underlying muscles can be tightened and excess skin and fat can be removed from the lower abdomen. The procedure that is limited to the lower abdomen is referred to as a “mini” abdominoplasty. This will not correct loose skin above the navel. In a traditional abdominoplasty, a second incision is made around the navel. In this method, excess skin above the navel can be pulled down and removed. Although the navel position remains unchanged, its appearance might be slightly altered. This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and may require an overnight hospital stay.

Rhinoplasty: Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. It can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip, narrow the span of the nostrils, change the angle between your nose and upper lip and correct some breathing problems. This procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local with sedation or general anesthesia. During the surgery, the skin of the nose is separated from its supporting framework of bone and cartilage, which is then sculpted to the desired shape. Finally, the skin is re-draped over the new framework. It can be performed “closed” (all incisions inside the nose) or “open” (small incision across the columella, which is the vertical strip of skin separating the nostrils). Most patients are up and around within two days and can return to work in approximately one week. (More Info)

Hair Transplant:
Hair loss is primarily caused by a combination of aging, a change in hormones and a family history of baldness. Several procedures can be performed for baldness including scalp reduction, flaps and tissue expansion. Today, the most common procedure for baldness is hair transplant. This procedure involves removing a strip of hair bearing skin from the back of the scalp, dividing this into minigrafts (2-4 hair units) and micrografts (1-2 hair units) and individually transplanting these into the areas of hair loss. By dividing the hair into such small units, one can achieve a very natural appearance. This procedure is usually performed in the office under local anesthesia and most people return to full activity within a week to 10 days. (More Info)

This procedure involves removing a strip of hair bearing skin from the back of the scalp, dividing this into minigrafts (2-4 hair units) and micrografts (1-2 hair units) and individually transplanting these into the areas of hair loss. By dividing the hair into such small units, one can achieve a very natural appearance. This procedure is usually performed in the office under local anesthesia and most people return to full activity within a week to 10 days.
