Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Abdominoplasty is one of my favorite procedures. It changes the central core of a person's body and restores shape and contour. I rely heavily on the techniques that I aquired in Brazil for this procedure, tightening the abdominal wall in multiple rows. Other areas are contoured that are many times overlooked. In almost all cases my patients are so snug that they are kept in an overnight facility on the hospital campus for 2 nights, in a very large private room. Ideal Candidate:
Protruding abdomen; excess fat and skin; weak abdominal muscles

Blepharoplasty (Eye Lift Surgery)
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Blepharoplasty is one of the most dramatically subtle procedures Dr. Corey performs. It is dramatic because it is common for others to notice that you look very rested, but it is subtle in that most people are not able to tell why you look so good.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty is one of the most dramatically subtle procedures Dr. Corey performs. It is dramatic because it is common for others to notice that you look very rested, but it is subtle in that most people are not able to tell why you look so good. Ideal Candidate:
Excess fat, wrinkled, drooping skin of upper eyelids; bags, puffiness under eyes

Body Contouring
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Almost every week we perform Abdominoplasty in conjunction with Breast Lift or Implant surgery and Liposuction. When the breast is given better shape, the waist looks more slim and when the Abdomen is "tucked" then the breasts look better...BUT to do them together I think gives an unbelievable result that looks so dramatically different that patients look in the mirror afterwards and are ecstatic at the result. It just is not the body they remember... Ideal Candidate:
Skin laxity without significant fat deposits

BOTOX® Injections Treatment
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Botox is a great non-invasive procedure that allows patients to lose years off of their face in just a few minutes. It lasts approximately 6 months and the more you maintain it, the fewer injections you will need each time. Ideal Candidate:
Frown lines and crow's feet

Breast Augmentation (Breast Implants)
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
I believe in a very natural look and understand that most patients have the fear of being too big, and having them look too "fake". In most cases I use an Endoscope to develop the pocket in a very non-traumatic approach through the underarm. Scars on the breast are avoided if at all possible. The satisfaction rate of this procedure is EXTREMELY high. Most patients are just sorry they didn't do it sooner!!! Ideal Candidate:
Small, disproportionate breasts
Contact the Doctor About This Procedure
Breast Implant Revision
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
This can be some of the more difficult surgery to perform in Cosmetic Breast Surgery. Many times implants need to be exchanged and relocated to a different plane in the body (above the muscle to below for example)and at times a lift on top of that. By using techniques I learned in Brazil, in many cases all revisions can be in one procedure and not in stages. Ideal Candidate:
Small, disproportionate breasts

Breast Lift Surgery
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
I travelled to Brazil specifically to learn Breast Lift Surgery. I found that in most cases I saw in my residency, Breast Lifts were performed like Breast Reductions. I feel that they are very different procedures and I really prefer the Brazilian approach. For me, I think they hold their shape longer and show less tendency to "Bottom Out" with time. Ideal Candidate:
Sagging, poorly shaped breasts

Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Brow Lift surgery can reduce furrows and other signs of aging in the forehead and brow areas creating a softer, relaxed and rejuvenated facial appearance. Ideal Candidate:
Sagging, low eyebrows, forehead creases, frown lines

Chin Augmentation (Implants)
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Some people are unhappy with how they look in their profile. They feel they have a "weak chin". In some it may be in a combination with a prominent nose, which can compound the feeling of an under-projected profile. By augmenting the chin area, it can restore balance to the lower face and jaw line. Ideal Candidate:
Receding chin
Contact the Doctor About This Procedure
Endoscopic Plastic Surgery
Years Performed: 10 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
I prefer the Endoscopic approach to Breast Augmentation through a one inch incision in the underarm. By using the Endoscope I can be assured of the correct location of the implant placement under direct vision and yet still have a very small, hidden scar.

Face Lift Surgery (Rhytidectomy)
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
The facelift addresses all three major problems on the face in the battle agains aging: the jowls, the jawline and the neck. In most cases, it can remove 10 to 15 years from your appearance and give you back a more youthful face at a time in your life when you most deserve it. Ideal Candidate:
Loose skin, deep lines, wrinkles, jowls

Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Juvederm can fill in lines caused by aging that are typically found around the nose and mouth. Non-invasive, this procedure can take years off your appearance. This is also a great product to use in conjunction with facelift surgery to restore a softer fuller appearance to the face. This is offered in the office by our own Registered Nurse who is known for providing very natural and healthy results.

Liposuction Surgery (Lipoplasty)
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Liposuction is a great tool to minimize problem areas that exercise and diet just won't fix. Used in conjunction with Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck, Liposuction can restore a women's proportion to her body and give back her youthful curves. Liposuction should never be used as a weight loss tool. Patients should be within 30 lbs. of the ideal weight for the best results. Ideal Candidate:
Normal weight with isolated fatty areas
Contact the Doctor About This Procedure
Male Liposuction
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Men can often think that cosmetic surgery is only for women, but many of my male patients come to me for liposuction of the waist or "love handle" area which are often difficult areas that exercise and diet just can't fix. Liposuction should never be used as a weight loss tool. Patients should be within 30 lbs. of the ideal weight for the best results. Ideal Candidate:
Normal weight with isolated fatty areas

Neck Lift
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
As we age, many people lose distance between their chin and neck and eventually they become one. Often we notice this the most in viewing our profile. Neck Lift can restore the shape of the neck to a more youthful appearance. Ideal Candidate:
Loose skin, deep lines, wrinkles, jowls
Contact the Doctor About This Procedure
Neck Liposuction
Years Performed: 16 Approx Cost with this Doctor:
Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Heredity can cause some to retain fat tissue in our necks that can cause our necks to sag. A bit of liposuction can give a dramatic look to the profile appearance. Ideal Candidate:
Normal weight with isolated fatty areas

Contact Office Physician's Approach:
Rhinoplasty can be one of the most challenging operations to perform and one of the most rewarding. Dr. Corey tries to be conservative in the sense that he doesn't want to change radically the way you look nor do away with any underlying ethnic feature that is you. His goal is to listen to you carefully and just soften the parts that you don't like and not give you a nose that looks like it's had surgery. Ideal Candidate:
Nose too large, wide, or tip needs reshaping

John J. Corey, M.D. - Applies Consultation Fee Toward Surgery!
Bringing the Art of Brazilian Plastic Surgery to the Valley
Patients get "Personalized Attention" from everyone on the staff.
I want to thank Dr. Corey for the amazing results that I got from my surgery. Everything is beautiful and so natural. Compliments have come to me by leaps and bounds. And the cool thing is that no one really knows...they just know that "something" is a little different! I would refer anyone to Dr. Corey! He was so honest with me and didn't try and talk me into something that was not necessary! (as did a couple of other doctors that I consulted with).
Again, thank you Dr. Corey. You have a marvelous staff. Your entire staff is so caring and thoughtul. You have made a real difference in the way that I look at myself!

Background
John J. Corey is an Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon who has practiced in Scottsdale, Arizona, since 1993. Board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, he was Chief of Plastic Surgery at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Phoenix from 1994-1999. Dr. Corey performs all types of cosmetic surgical procedures. He lectures at ArizonaStateUniversity, GatewayCommunity College, and helps in the instruction of residents in plastic surgery at the Mayo Clinic. He is an Affiliate Assistant Professor at MidwesternUniversity. He is one of the most respected and sought-after faculty members at the Osler Institute which provides hands-on review for practicing plastic surgeons nationwide who are preparing for their own Board certification. In 1998, Dr. Corey was voted one of the top doctors in plastic surgery by MaricopaCounty physicians in a CBS Channel 5 poll.
Brazilian Influence
Dr. Corey's approach to plastic surgery draws on his training here in the United States as well as Brazil. After graduating from the University of Utah School of Medicine and fulfilling prerequisite training in general surgery at MaricopaMedicalCenter in Phoenix, he entered the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta to begin his plastic surgery residency. It was there that he met Dr. Renato Saltz, one of his professors, who introduced him to some of the surgical concepts from Brazil.
Intrigued by the Brazilian approach to plastic surgery, Dr. Corey traveled to Brazil in July 1993 to study in Rio de Janeiro as well as with other surgeons in other cities. His training there taught him to view plastic surgery from a more artistic standpoint:
"Brazilian surgeons seem to have a different 'eye' for aesthetic surgery…a different way of analyzing beauty and the human form. We Americans have a tendency to be very technical. We want to know exactly how much to contour and how much to measure. Brazilians seem to approach procedures more artistically. They don't rely on applying the same measurement to every woman. They really believe in sculpting the form and creating the curves and lines of the feminine shape."
A Focus on the Individual
Dr. Corey knows the importance of focusing on each patient as an individual. "People are paying the doctor to speak to the doctor, and, while much information can be given by other office personnel, that cannot take the place of the doctor-patient relationship." Dr. Corey further explains, "I have attended medical meetings where speakers will get up before an audience and, with great pride and boasting, report how little time they spend with a patient. I believe the patient ends the visit, not the doctor." To further ensure effective communication with his patients, Dr. Corey speaks both Spanish and Portuguese.
Since moving to Scottsdale, Dr. Corey has incorporated many principles designed to enhance the focus on the individual into his own practice. His waiting room is open and relaxing and captures the tranquil feeling of an art gallery or museum. There are no barriers to separate and depersonalize the staff. Dr. Corey himself offers the best description of his philosophy, "I really believe that when someone comes to me to have their body altered, there needs to be a certain comfort level – a calming focus that makes it seem for a few moments that the patient and the doctor are the only ones on the planet."
