You can still rejuvenate yourself in this economy…

In these tough economic times people are trying to save their money in any way possible. While plastic surgery is not a necessary medical procedure, improving one’s appearance can go a long way to making one feel better. There are many things that can be done that are less expensive. A Botox treatment is only a few hundred dollars and can produce a great improvement in the forehead or crow’s feet. Instead of getting a full facelift, a laser mini facelift may result in a nice rejuvenation with a much lower price and less recovery. If you are considering more than one procedure, then we can usually give a decreased price for combined procedures. These are just a few of the many things that can be done to improve your appearance naturally with a lower cost. Just call 732-548-3200 for more information.

Financing doesn't have to be difficult...

Just because plastic surgery may be slightly out of reach financially, doesn't mean you can not have it done. We use two financing companies - CareCredit and SurgeryLoans.com. Both companies have an easy application process - either online or by phone - and you can get a reply within 24 hours. Then you will be ready to have that procedure you have been thinking about for so long with a manageable monthly payment to make. Our office will be happy to help you with the process or you can go to www.AssociatesinPlasticSurgery.com to link to the financing company directly.

Computer imaging can help decide what to do...

Sometimes, patients come to me for rhinoplasty and they just are not sure what to do with their nose. They just know they want it changed. That is the perfect opportunity to utilize computer imaging. After a picture is loaded into the program, I can make subtle or significant changes, such as taking a bump down or thinning the tip. This way the patients can get an idea of what surgery may do for them. This same procedure can be done for other procedures such as facelift or breast augmentation. It is important to remember that computer imaging is not a guarantee of what you will look like after surgery because the human body can heal in different ways, but you can certainly get an idea. At Associates in Plastic Surgery, we offer free computer imaging either at an imaging session or through email. Just go to www.AssociatesinPlasticSurgery.com for more details.

We are a Medicare Certified Surgery Center...

Having your surgery done in a surgery center that maintains certain safety standards is crucial to ensuring the well being of the patients that are having the surgery. The safety and building standards for Medicare are rigorous and we have worked hard to meet these criteria for the benefit of the patients. We are also accredited by the AAAHC. Therefore as a patient, you can feel comfortable that if there ever was a problem (which rarely happens at our facility), we are well equipped to handle anything just like if you were in a hospital. If you would like more information regarding our certification, please do not hesitate to call.

Smartlipo MPX - the latest in laser liposuction...

Smartlipo MPX is an incredible new technology that uses a laser to dissolve the fat. Also the laser has a skin tightening effect that you just cannot get with traditional liposuction. With regular liposuction there is always a concern that working in certain areas will result in sagging skin that sometimes looks worse than before. With Smartlipo MPX, this combination of effects gives a wonderful result with much less swelling and bruising, and a shorter recovery time. Also, since this procedure is done with a much smaller canula than traditional liposuction, the discomfort during surgery is much less, and local anesthesia may be used. So call 732-548-3200 for a free Smartlipo consultation to see if you are a good candidate.

Eyelid surgery really rejuvenates your face...

Anyone considering eyelid surgery should realize the importance of that area of the face. The eyes are what people look at when they talk to you, so anything you can do to improve the eyes will result in a more youthful appearance of the whole face. The eyebrows can be positioned with a browlift, which is performed endoscopically to minimize the incisions and recovery. The extra upper eyelid skin is removed with a simple excision in order to produce a nice upper eyelid crease. The lower eyelid will often have excess fat that is removed through an incision inside the eyelid. This procedure is often combined with laser resurfacing to smooth the skin. All of these procedures are performed by Dr. Miller in our accredited surgery center, and recovery is about 7-10 days. He would be happy to discuss everything with you at a free consultation, so call and rejuvenate those eyelids today.

Facelift can be minimal or extensive...

It is extremely important to tailor a facelift procedure to fit the individual patient. Many patients may do well with what is called a mini-facelift (S-lift, weekend facelift). Typically, these patients have minor drooping of the neck and jowls, which requires a smaller procedure that will incur less healing time and a lower cost. However, if a patient has a very heavy neck, jowls, or cheeks, then a full facelift should be performed. I tell patients that if you are going through the recovery time and paying the money, then you should get a result that is excellent and lasts a long time. If you are not sure which procedure would be best for, just call for a free consultation with Dr. Miller and he will happy to discuss everything with you.
