Liposuction of the neck is a fast and painless way to improve your appearance. The procedure takes about an hour and the results can be seen immediately. Bruising is mild and you can be back to work in 2 days. The recovery is very easy. I like you to wear a compression strap over soft cotton for the first two days. This is very comfortable and can be removed to shower. It really helps to reduce the bruising and swelling. Liposuction of the neck also has a low cost. The whole thing will cost less than $5000. The results will depend on the elasticity of your skin. The better the elasticity, the tighter the result. For a quick fix solution that will leave you looking thinner and younger consider liposuction of the neck.

 

A non surgical nose job is a way to correct small but bothersome irregularities of your nose. Whether it's a small bump on the bridge, or an irregularity on the tip, a non surgical nose job can work quite well. The non surgical nose job involves using "fillers" such as Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm or Radiesse. These are injected beneath the skin, carefully and in small amounts in order to cover over depressions and irregularities. Although the results are not permanent, the improvement can last well over a year. At only about $600-800 it is quite a bargain when compared to several thousand that a surgical nose job (rhinoplasty) would cost. It's not for everyone so certainly a good consultation is necessary. The procedure is done in the office and takes less than a half hour. A little ice for the remainder of the day and you're good to go the next day. Call 410-902-9800 to schedule your free consultation.
