The single most important principle is that liposuction is a shaping procedure. We are all born with a genetically determined fat distribution that many of us would like to change. Most of us have realized that even successful weight loss can't change the distribution of some fat. Liposuction allows us to permanently change the fat distribution by actually reducing the number of fat cells in a given area. Not only does this result in an improved profile, but fat density is permanently reduced. Ideal Candidate:
Normal weight with isolated fatty areas

Cosmoderm ®
Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast (the human form of Collagen) are the first FDA-approved human collagen fillers for facial wrinkles. Unlike collagen, an allergy test is unneeded with Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast. Results can last up to six months. At this time the skin will have absorbed just about all of the natural collagen and the effects will have subsided. For this reason, repeat treatments are necessary.

There are numerous ways of dealing with problem skin, and, generally, the more severe the problem, the more aggressive the solution. When the blemishes, wrinkles, scars, and brown spots cant be reduced by conventional treatments, one must consider a more intensive approach such as dermabrasion, deep chemical peel, or laser resurfacing. Naturally, these procedures require a high degree of control and finesse for greater success, which is why Dr. Zeff prefers to use the CO2 laser. Ideal Candidate:
Fair, non-oily skin; sun-damaged facial skin, wrinkles around mouth and eyes, acne scars

Sclerotherapy is the introduction of a sclerosing agent into a vein using a small needle. Your doctor will clean the area, then inject a solution into the affected veins. During the procedure, you may feel a slight pin prick as the needle is inserted and a burning sensation as the solution is injected. The solution replaces the blood and naturally causes the vein to decompose and disappear over a period of several days to a few weeks.
