The Plastic Surgery Clinic has been serving the North Shore area and has gained a reputation as the best and most respected clinic in the area. Procedures range from cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries but also to sophisticated skin care techniques. With our new surgery center, Your Medicos, S.C. is able to expand its ability to care for patients beyond the North Shore area.
Our Plastic Surgery treatments include:
The Silhouette Lift
The Silhouette Lift is minimally invasive office procedure to reduce laxity of the mid-face. Mid-face laxity, a natural consequence of aging, is manifest by following facial changes:
- Loss of / dropping of the check fat pads.
- This dropping also increases the nasolabial folds (the crease from the bottom of the nose to the corner of the mouth).
- Development of jowls (sagging skin along the chin/jaw line).
- Down-turning of the corners of the mouth.
Under local anesthesia, sutures are places under the facial skin from a small incision in the scalp, resulting in elevation of the sagging skin of the mid-face.
This procedure has short recovery period. At lower cost there are less complications compared to traditional surgical facelift.

ProV Endovenous Laser Treatment
A new approach to varicose vein treatment. If you are suffering from varicose veins-heavy, bulging, ropey veins- treatment with the Sciton Pro-V laser is the optimal solution.
Pro-V treatments can be performed on an outpatient basis in our office. Venous insufficiency can typically be addressed with one treatment. Studies show 100% closure at day 2 post procedure and a less than 1% rate of recurrence over time. With Pro-V treatment you will experience minimal discomfort, bruising, or swelling. You can look forward to a quick recovery period and no wound care. Most patients return to mild activities within a day and are able to participate in more strenuous activities within several days.

SkinTyte by Sciton.
Safe for all skin types, SkinTyte can predictably and effectively treat any area of the body where improvement is desired, giving patients a firmer, more youthful appearance. SkinTyte utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat soft tissue while protecting the entire treated area with sapphire contact cooling. This heating process causes soft tissue coagulation that tightens tissue and initiates the body’s natural healing process. Following treatment, a new foundation of collagen is created leading to increased skin firmness.

Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate spider veins. Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution (generally a salt solution) directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view.
The non-invasive treatment involves the injection of a mild solution into the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually disappear completely from view.

Botox
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Results may vary but the effects can last up to 4 months.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.
Juvederm
Juvederm, one of the newest "injectable fillers", is used by cosmetic, dermatological and plastic surgeons to soften deep folds and reduce wrinkles in the faces of patients. The substance is largely hyaluronic acid, a substance normally found in the skin, muscles, and tendons of mammals. Approved in June of 2006 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Juvederm`s prime use is removing nasolabial folds, or "smile lines", creases of skin, which run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth. It is also used as a lip augmentation agent, and to fill in hollow places and scars on the face.
Radiesse
Radiesse is a synthetic injectable implant composed of smooth CaHA microspheres that have a diameter range of 25m to 45m, suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. These consistently shaped and sized particles have proven safe and biocompatible while allowing gradual tissue ingrowth.
Platelet - Rich Plasma
The internal essence of blood inside you contains life-giving fundamental protein growth factors that are designed to restore and strengthen your body. This technology harnesses a high concentration of your own biological nutrient-rich cells and unleashes them to naturally promote skin health by stimulating a rebuilding of the underlying structural integrity of your skin. With a simple, quick and adventurous process, your own blood is safely prepared on the physician premises and is delivered to your skin within the same treatment session.
