Breast Augmentation
When performed by a skilled surgeon with a keen artistic eye, breast augmentation is not simply a matter of making a woman's breasts "bigger". The goal of breast augmentation should always be to restore balance and proportion to a woman's figure, helping her to feel more attractive, confident, and comfortable with her body. It takes a special talent to accomplish the delicate task of enhancing and complementing the beauty that was already there, with completely natural looking results.
We have mastered the art of breast augmentation. Our doctor has performed many breast augmentation procedures, consistently meeting and exceeding the expectations of his patients. He understands that no two women are exactly alike, and, therefore, each breast augmentation procedure must be customized to suit the needs, goals, and body type of each individual patient.
Whether you feel your breast size is too small, you have experienced a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy, or wish to balance a difference in breast size, we want you to feel completely confident in your decision to have breast augmentation surgery. Our office provides the ideal setting for comfortable, private and entirely confidential consultations, in which all your questions and concerns regarding breast augmentation are addressed openly and honestly. We will discuss your options and offer his professional opinion on which technique is most appropriate for you, based on your current anatomy, skin tone and individual goals. As part of the consultation process, we will invite you to examine before and after photographs of his work; our primary concern is the complete satisfaction of our patients.
Depending on the patient, we will make a discreet incision in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), or in the armpit, inserting the implant below or above the muscle. The implants used are entirely safe, pose no supported health threat, and have no effect on a woman's future ability to breast feed. From beginning to end, breast augmentation is currently one of the safest surgical procedures you can undergo.

Breast Reduction
For some women, having disproportionately large breasts can be both physically and emotionally painful. Overdeveloped, pendulous breasts can cause a variety of medical problems from severe neck and back pain, skin irritation, skeletal irregularities, to difficulty with breathing. They can make wearing a bra extremely uncomfortable to the point of being excruciatingly painful; and many women with uncommonly large breasts, particularly younger women, become embarrassed and self-conscious about their bodies.
Breast reduction surgery can be performed either as a single procedure, or as part of a more comprehensive body contouring plan. Breast reduction or reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure in which we removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, thereby reducing both their size and weight, and improving their firmness. we reshapes the breasts so they look natural and perfectly complement the patient's figure. Many women who have undergone breast reduction surgery for not only alleviating their pain, but also helping them to feel more confident, attractive and healthy.
If you have disproportionately large breasts that feel heavy, if you suffer from back, neck or shoulder pain, always have marks or grooves in your shoulders left by your bra straps, and have altered your lifestyle due to the size of your breasts, you may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery. Breast reduction surgery is not a simple procedure, but it is safe and relatively painless when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Of all plastic surgery procedures, breast reduction surgery results in the quickest body-image changes. Patients appreciate breast reduction because of the incredible life-style changes that are effected as a result of the surgery. You will be rid of the physical discomfort of large breasts, your body will look better proportioned, and clothes with fit you better.
If you would like to schedule an initial consultation with us to find out if you are a good candidate for this surgery. we will honestly answer all your questions, as well as educate you about your options. We will be happy to discuss combining breast reduction surgery with other procedures if you wish to consider a more comprehensive body contouring plan.

Breast Lift
Over time, the effects of pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts. As the skin of the breast begins to lose its natural elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. For many women, this is a source of self-consciousness and frustration. With these patients in mind, we offer safe and effective procedures at our practice. A breast lift or mastopexy can help to raise and reshape sagging breasts, restoring youth and vitality to a woman's figure.
A breast lift involves the removal of excess skin and tissue, together with the repositioning of the nipple, to give a completely natural look. Mastopexy surgery can also reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple) if necessary. A breast lift is not a simple operation, but when performed by a qualified surgeon, the result is a firmer, tighter bust line, with a more youthful appearance overall.
Some patients may wish to increase their breast size at the same time as having a breast lift at our practice. If desired, we can perform breast augmentation in conjunction with a mastopexy, as part of a comprehensive plan, to help a patient achieve her ideal figure by creating the fuller, firmer, shapelier breasts she desires.
Before proceeding with the surgery at our practice, we will meet with you in consultation to discuss your options, and the processes involved in the surgery. Your questions and concerns will be addressed thoughtfully and thoroughly, as we believe the best decision is always an informed decision.

Liposuction
Liposuction has grown tremendously in popularity over the past decade for both men and women. As we become more aware of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle in order to maintain fitness and appearance, more people are finding that diet and exercise may not be sufficient to remove fat deposits in localized areas, that can slowly appear as our bodies age. Men typically find their abdomen and hips are the areas resistant to diet and exercise, and continually battle the formation of "love handles", whilst many women discover that no matter how much they work out, how many hundreds of sit-ups they do, or how many miles they log on an exercise bike, they cannot eliminate the fat deposits at their hips, thighs or arms.
Also known as "lipoplasty" or "suction lipectomy", liposuction is offered at our office to help women and men of all body types achieve the contoured body they truly desire. Liposuction can do wonders in many areas, including the abdomen, hips, waist, thighs, buttocks, upper arm, back, neck, and breasts.
Liposuction procedures have benefited from several new refinements in related technology, which allow us to target problem areas of the body with absolute precision, and at the same time minimizing bleeding and scarring that were traditionally associated with the procedure. We uses the tumescent technique, which benefits the patient by greatly reducing post-operative discomfort and recovery time. An anesthetic solution is injected directly into the area of the body where fatty tissue is to be removed; then a small incision of about ˝ inch is made to allow the introduction of a gentle suction tube, used to remove the fatty deposits. The residual anesthetic may last up to 18 hours after surgery, minimizing post-operative discomfort. The treated area is then covered with a compression garment to ensure quick and effective healing.

Abdominoplasty
The abdominoplasty, or "tummy tuck," has become a popular body contouring procedure, as techniques have been refined over recent years to give patients more treatment options. A tummy tuck at our practice can benefit patients looking for a flatter, firmer stomach, when abdominal exercises and a healthy diet have no effect.
When evaluating a patient's abdomen, there are three main issues that we will consider:
- Amount of fat present
- Tightness of the stomach muscles
- Quality of the skin - looseness, tightness, thickness etc
If a patient has excess tummy fat, lax tummy muscles and loose skin, the best procedure is an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck. This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen, and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall. This procedure is particularly helpful to women who, through pregnancy, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin to a point where they are unable to return to normal, but would like to restore their youthful figures. Other patients who benefit from this surgery are those men or women in relatively good shape who are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose skin in the abdominal area, which cannot be controlled with traditional diet and exercise methods. Severe loss of skin elasticity can also be a problem for patients who have experienced huge weight loss, and the procedure can greatly improve their body contour. After tummy tuck surgery, patients will have noticeably flatter and firmer abdominal areas, making them look slimmer and healthier.

Thigh Lift
The thigh/buttock lift is a procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the thigh and buttocks area. With age, or large weight loss, the skin in these areas can become loose and flabby. We will discuss the various options available to patients wishing to remove and tighten their skin in these areas. There are many variations in the design of the incisions, depending on your personal goals. The best place to start when considering this surgery is a private, confidential consultation, when your questions and concerns can be addressed honestly and openly with us.

Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, involves changing the shape or size of your nose, to produce the balanced, symmetrical look you may have wanted for a long time. Whether you want to make your nose smaller, or larger, change the shape of the bridge, tip or nostrils, remove a hump, or correct crookedness, injuries or breathing abnormalities, rhinoplasty at our Winter Park practice can help.
Dr. Joseph performs rhinoplasty by placing the incisions for the procedure inside the nostrils or across the thin flap of skin between the nostrils (called the columella), so there is virtually no visible scarring.
Rhinoplasty surgery is one of the most common surgery procedures, but is a very personal choice, and requires detailed and thoughtful discussion and interaction with your physician. Dr. Joseph will meet with you at his office in an initial hour-long consultation to discuss your concerns and goals, and will visit and talk with you again to ensure complete agreement and understanding of your treatment plan. Rhinoplasty at our practice can significantly improve the balance and proportions of your face and increase your confidence.

Necklift
This procedure is a dramatic and effective way to improve a neckline that time and gravity has caused to sag and wrinkle, or has created heavy jowls and loose skin under the chin. During a necklift procedure, Dr. Joseph removes excess fat and skin from the neck, and may also tightened the muscles to improve the results and achieve a patient's individual goals. This procedure is often combined with a facelift at our Winter Park practice, and produces incredibly youthful results, helping patients look and feel better about themselves.

Do you feel that your eyes make you look tired and don't reflect your feelings of youth and vitality? Drooping eyelids and puffy bags under the eyes can detract from the natural beauty of our eyes, and prevent us from looking our best. Dr. Joseph offers eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, at our practice, to address these issues, by improving the appearance of the skin surrounding the eyes. Blepharoplasty surgery can be performed on upper or lower lids, either separately or together, depending on your individual needs and goals. Blepharoplasty can remove folds and tighten skin in upper eyelids, as well as remove fat and smooth the skin of the lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty can be combined with other facial procedures, such as facelift or browlift to produce more dramatic results.

Otoplasty
For unknown reasons, some people experience large or misshaped ears that protrude further than normal from the head. This is usually as a result of the failure of one of the folds of the ear cartilage developing fully. A child with these ear problems often faces ridicule and teasing, and adults and children alike may suffer from a lack of self-confidence. Otoplasty surgery is a procedure offered by Dr. Joseph at our practice, in which the cartilage of the ear is reshaped to restore a more normal appearance. Although most often performed on children between the ages of 5 and 15, Otoplasty can safely be done on older teenagers and adults. The procedure can improve the size, prominence, protrusion, and symmetry of the ears, and significantly boost self-esteem.

Fat Transfer
Facial wrinkles and creases are part of the aging process. They begin to appear as the underlying muscle, fat and collagen begins to atrophy. Fat transfer is a process where your own fat cells are moved from one area of your body to a location of deficiency. Dr. Joseph performs fat injections at our practice, to fill in deep wrinkles and creases, treat scars and other imperfections, as well as to enhance the lips and cheeks. Fat is usually collected from the abdomen, hips, thighs or buttocks; it is then prepared and purified, and finally injected into the required areas. This is a popular procedure as it uses cells from your own body and carries no chance of allergy.

Dr. Joseph offers Lip Enhancement at our office to those patients seeking fuller, younger looking lips.
