Botox is probably our most common nonsurgical procedure performed here. It works on the crow’s feet, works on between the eyes, and works on the forehead to really eliminate those wrinkles. It lasts about three or four months and we have had the experience that injecting people often enough over the years that twice of year is really all they need as a maintenance and it really takes years off their look.

Sexier and better looking even though I am 56 years old. I feel like I can do anything, nothing is holding me back. I can take on the world. Our practice philosophy here at The Aesthetic Surgery Center is treating each patient individually. Each patient has specific needs and requests and wants, and those patients coming here can feel comfortable that they are getting the best quality service available. I really felt comfortable when I had questions, which I did, and I called 100 times, I think. They answered all my questions before and after. I have referred everybody to Dr. Jon. I live 70 miles away and when people tell me, “Wow, you look great, who did it?”, I tell them Dr. Jon did.... Continue Reading
Often people come in thinking that breast augmentation is what they need or want, but often times on evaluating those patients, a breast lift is what really is indicated. After having several children, breast-feeding, you know the breasts have gone south a little bit, more than a breast augmentation can take care of. Therefore, a breast lift is indicated and we go through the whole process with the scarring involved, showing pictures of pre and post-op, the downtime, and what can be expected with that procedure.
Eyelid surgery can make a dramatic difference in the appearance of an individual when indicated. That upper lid skin, when it is removed makes the patient look more refreshed, more rejuvenated, more awake. The lower lid puffiness being gone makes people feel more rested and look more rested. People get a very satisfying and rejuvenating look for a minimal downtime.
The ideal candidate for liposuction are those people that have lost weight and they found that during that process there are certain areas that they cannot lose, and with liposuction can help minimize those excess bulges and make them more proportionate. It is not for massive weight loss. It is not for excess skin loss. It is for those people that have localized deposits that can be minimized and may better contoured with liposuction.
My approach to facelift is not making people look overdone. People often come in and they want this, they pull the skin back, and I bring them down to reality of what can and cannot be done realistically in the surgical field and I show them pictures, you know, these people are not overdone, they are not windblown, it is just a very natural, refreshing, rejuvenating look to their face.
Breast surgery here is our passion and we realize that it is a very individual decision each patient is making for themselves and also a difficult one in finding the right person to do it. This is a most frequent procedure we perform here and we take the patient step by step through the process of evaluating them, what can be expected, the different stages of the procedure, and show them pre and postoperative photos, so they can feel comfortable, of some of the work that has been done, not obviously guaranteeing any results, but seeing what has been done in the past and what realistically can be done for them.
Tummy Tuck is also another passion here at The Aesthetic Surgery Center. We perform a large number and large volume of tummy tucks and the best candidates, it is not for weight reduction, it is for those people with excess skin and some fat of the lower abdominal region, most of those people who have had children or have been overweight then have lost weight over the years, when that excess skin and if you can grab that excess skin, and those people are the best candidates for the tummy tuck. Very satisfying procedure. People wake up with a flat belly. The downtime is about two to three weeks of really minimal activity and we tell people that not to get too active too soon,...
