How can I know what the results of my surgery will look like?

At El Paso Cosmetic Surgery, we are pleased to feature the most advanced digital imaging system currently available, Canfield Scientific’s Vectra 3D Aesthetic system. This system uses Canfield’s Sculptor™ software to create a three-dimensional model of the part of your body that will be modified by plastic surgery. By manipulating this high-resolution image, your surgeon can show you the approximate results of various procedures and techniques. The Vectra 3D imaging system gives you an unprecedentedly realistic preview of what to expect from surgery so that you can make the most informed and confident decision possible regarding your cosmetic treatment.

What is the difference between traditional liposuction procedures and moderate weight loss surgery?

The goal of traditional liposuction is not to reduce a patient’s weight, but rather to refine the patient’s figure by eliminating isolated pockets of fatty tissue. Moderate weight loss surgery, by contrast, combines multiple liposuction and lift procedures to remove up to 35 pounds of fat from the patient while simultaneously improving the body’s contours. There are very few practices throughout the country to offer moderate weight loss surgery, and we are proud to include our cosmetic surgery center in El Paso, Texas among them.

I am beginning to see signs of wrinkling and drooping skin on my face. Is it time for me to get a facelift?

This is a question that can only be answered by you and your surgeon after a thorough consultation. You will be pleased to know, however, that there are more alternatives – both surgical and non-surgical – than ever to the full facelift. For example, if you are suffering minor sagging of the cheeks, you may benefit from a minimally invasive mid-facelift. Likewise, if signs of aging are appearing in specific areas of your face – your upper or lower eyelids, for example, or perhaps your forehead – targeted lift procedures can be performed to rejuvenate just those areas without affecting the surrounding skin. We also offer a comprehensive range of injectable treatments, including BOTOX® Cosmetic and Restylane® to patients who wish to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines without having to undergo a surgical procedure.

My hair is thinning, but I’m nervous that hair transplantation surgery will make me look “unnatural.”

Fear not. The days of “doll’s hair” transplants are well in the past. These days, El Paso Cosmetic Surgery uses micrografts of hair in hair transplantation procedures rather than larger, less natural-looking grafts to ensure results that are practically undetectable after healing. These micrografts will be blended artfully into the thinning patches on your scalp, strategically placed to promote the most complete coverage possible. Because these micrografts are transplanted from areas of the head not prone to pattern baldness, the results are essentially permanent.

I’ve just lost a massive amount of weight, but I still have these folds of skin hanging from my body. Can you help me?

Yes! As part of our comprehensive selection of body contouring procedures, El Paso Cosmetic Surgery is pleased to offer plastic surgery options tailored specifically to the needs of post-bariatric patients. These options include the removal of excess skin from the arms and neck, body lift procedures that target the thighs, arms, and other stubborn areas of the body, and liposuction for those pockets of fat that simply haven’t disappeared with time, diet, or exercise. Through such procedures, we will help you to look as healthy and fit as you truly are now that you have undergone your life-changing transformation.
