New Year, New You – San Francisco Liposuction

It’s a new year and new resolutions are hatching left and right. People want to make this year count. They want to feel lighter, brighter, more confident and happier. They want to absolve the regrets of the past year and re-birth themselves into the best versions of themselves. The beginning of the year is a great time to take stock in your life and re-evaluate. Weight loss is often at the top of people’s resolution lists.

Diet and exercise are an important part of a healthy lifestyle- whether you are trying to lose weight or not. For some people, however, there are certain parts of the body which prove to be more stubborn than others. For these parts of the body, diet and exercise alone may not be enough to make the change you wish you achieve. For these people San Francisco Liposuction by Dr. James Anthony may be the answer. Liposuction is extremely effective in sucking out those stubborn fat cells that resist the more traditional methods, but it is not a weight loss solution. To learn more and find out if liposuction may be right for you, contact our office to schedule a confidential consultation with Dr. James Anthony today!

Brachioplasty San Francisco Arm Lift

There are a few reasons people may be considering an Arm Lift Surgery, also known as Brachioplasty. The effects of dramatic weight loss often leave people with excess, sagging skin on their body, including the underarm area.
Sometimes, due to genetic reasons or aging the underarm can have excessive hanging skin and/or fat deposits which can be resistant to diet and exercise. Improvements to arms in these states can be made through San Francisco Brachioplasty.
Brachioplasty is a procedure which removes the excess sagging skin from the arm. The incision will be made in as inconspicuous position as possible to reduce the visibility of a scar after surgery. Often Liposuction may be done in conjunction with the Arm Lift surgery for optimum results. Other Body Contouring procedures may also be performed depending on the need of the patient such as a Breast Lift, Tummy Tuck, or Face and Neck Lift for the best overall results. Contact our office today to find out what your Body Contouring options are.

San Francisco Rhinoplasty

There are many reasons men and women come in to see Dr. Anthony. A common complaint is dissatisfaction with their nose. There are both functional and aesthetic reasons for people to be unhappy with their noses and Dr. Anthony can address both with San Francisco Rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty, also called Nose Surgery, is a procedure to improve the nose. For some patients the complaint is chiefly aesthetic- dissatisfaction with the overall size of the nose, or with the tip of the nose, or with the profile of the nose due to bumps or indentations, or dissatisfaction with the size or shape of the nostrils. In other patients the complaint may be purely functional- dissatisfaction with the nose due to difficulty breathing from conditions such as deviated septum. In a lot of patients it’s a combination of both aesthetic and functional goals which need to be improved to create the ideal results.

Whether your goals are aesthetic, functional, reconstructive or some combination thereof, we invite you to contact our office and schedule a consultation with board certified, San Francisco-area plastic surgeon Dr. James Anthony.

Eyelid Lift – Rejuvenation of the Eyes – Blepharoplasty San Francisco

With age the skin begins to show its history. Perhaps no where is this more evident than in the skin around the eyes. Our eyelids can droop, sag, wrinkle, and puff to no end, it seems. When this happens it not only ages our appearance, but can make us look tired, overrun, and even upset. For a more energetic, refreshed appearance, many men and women are opting for San Francisco Blepharoplasty, also known as an Eyelid Lift, for rejuvenation of the eyes.

Blepharoplasty can make a huge difference to your overall appearance, while still being so subtle you’ll leave people wondering what’s different about you besides the twinkle in your eyes. Eyelid lifts can be performed on both the upper and lower lids or just one or the other. They may also be done in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as a brow lift, face lift, botox or cheek implants.
