About Robert F Jackson, M.D. - Marion,
Indiana (IN)
Widely known for his expertise in the area of Breast Augmentation and Reduction, Dr. Jackson states "The form and shape of the female breast in our culture is extremely important to women and their self-esteem." Having performed hundreds of breast augmentations with great success, his extensive experience in breast surgery makes him well qualified to evaluate the various implants and surgical techniques that are available. However, not all women are interested in breast augmentation. For medical reasons many are interested in breast reduction to alleviate back and shoulder pain, headaches, excoriation of the skin underneath the breast and breast discomfort.
Having studied with some of the most qualified surgeons in Europe and when asked about the future of cosmetic surgery Dr. Jackson states, "With all of the minimally invasive techniques and with the new technology we are just now at the tip of the iceberg in discovering new ways to achieve the body contour that each of us desires."
Endoscopic cosmetic surgery is another relatively new field in which Dr. Jackson has had extensive experience. He and his son, Dr. Thomas L. Jackson who is a plastic surgeon in Columbus, Indiana, developed their own technique for tightening the abdominal muscles using very small incisions similar to that used for gallbladder surgery. Dr. Jackson has stated "a combination of ultrasonic assisted liposculpuring, routine liposuction and if necessary endoscopic cosmetic surgery and good pre and post operative care can give both men and women the best body contouring results today."
When asked about the safety and effectiveness of liposuction, Dr. Jackson who is one of the pioneers in the field states, "Tumescent liposuction is the safest cosmetic surgery procedure done today." He states that for both men and women who want to loose those unsightly bulges and resculpture their body, liposuction is a well proven procedure that will accomplish that goal.
