Phoenix Plastic Surgeon's Facelift Still Changing Cosmetic Surgery After a Decade

For the last ten years the Anderson Endoscopic Facelift has been turning back the clock on aging and reducing the discomfort and healing times associated with a traditional facelift.



The fountain of youth is no longer a fairy tale with a revolutionary facelift procedure that takes away the appearance of years of aging and reduces the discomfort and healing times associated with a traditional facelift.

The Anderson Endoscopic Facelift was pioneered by renowned Phoenix plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Anderson nearly a decade ago, and since then more than 1000 satisfied patients have experienced the extraordinary rejuvenation effects provided by this breakthrough procedure.

The Anderson Endoscopic Facelift uses a long, thin, pencil shaped scope introduced through several discrete incisions in the scalp and temple. This tool allows Dr. Anderson to see under the skin without separating it from the body, thereby preventing the painful bruising and swelling common to older facelifts.

Once Dr. Anderson can see under the skin, he uses tiny scissors to release and mobilize muscle tissue. Once released he uses internal suspension sutures to provide the tension necessary to support younger, smoother, more attractive skin and muscle tone. The tiny incisions are sewn up and the patient can usually return home as soon as the operation is over.

“In the past, people who wished to turn back the clock on the signs of aging had limited options that sometimes left them physically and emotionally drained,” explains Dr. Anderson. “The Anderson Endoscopic Facelift provides the same benefits as the older procedures but with less swelling and a more rapid return to work and other activities.”

A board-certified member of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the America Board of Otolarynology, Dr. Anderson has over 25 years of surgical experience and 20 years of leading the medical field in the use of surgical lasers. He received his medical degree from Northwestern University Medical School and frequently speaks at plastic surgery conventions across the country and around the world.

Richard Anderson, M.D. gives back to the community by donating his time and experience to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and helps reduce violent crime by participating in a program to remove gang tattoos from troubled youths throughout the greater Phoenix area.For more information see http://r4md.com/pr/cosmetic_surgery/arizona/phoenix.html

“Lollipop” Breast Lift Improves Self-Esteem in Today’s Women


New breast lift method gives women a more youthful appearance that is safe, effective and affordable.

Women across America have even more to celebrate in the year 2006 as trend-setting surgeons like renowned Austin Plastic Surgeon, M. Scott Haydon, M.D. make advanced cosmetic procedures like the “lollipop” breast lift more readily available than ever before.

Dr. Scott Haydon is on the forefront of the movement to provide women with this relatively new and increasingly popular technique for breast enhancement, and is one of only a small percentage of surgeons performing full breast lifts and reductions with the cutting edge procedure, which causes less scarring than previous options.

For many women, unsightly sagging of the breasts is a natural yet unappealing consequence of the aging process. As most women age and as many become mothers, the breasts typically begin to lose fat and the tissue starts to thin. In most cases, as the breast tissue shrinks, the nipple also begins to droop.

“A breast lift immediately gives a more youthful appearance to the breast and improves women’s self-esteem. It reminds them of when they were younger and thus they feel rejuvenated,” says Dr. Haydon. “Whether this style of lift is done using a woman’s own breast tissue alone, or in conjunction with an implant, the shape of the breast is better maintained than older techniques and with less scarring. Fortunately this is not a very painful procedure and activities are quickly resumed.”

While breast lift procedures are generally celebrated for their ability to reposition the nipple to a more youthful location and their capacity to create more cleavage, they can leave unpleasant scarring that detracts from the aesthetic value of the surgery. Fortunately, modern technology has provided women with a safe, effective, and affordable way to escape the drooping trap without the scarring of normal breast lifts.

Dr. Haydon is regarded throughout Texas as a specialist in breast surgeries of all types, including breast augmentation, breast lift and breast reduction. He employs a special preoperative assessment and detailed measurements in his breast augmentation consultations to determine an ideal implant size, resulting in minimal pain and the ability to return to normal activities the very next day.

Scott Haydon, M.D. is board certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery and holds memberships in numerous prestigious professional organizations, including the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Haydon continues to be committed to providing patients with aesthetically pleasing procedures that contribute to a heightened self-esteem.

Revolutionary “Silicone Gel” Implants Hopeful for FDA Approval in ‘06


New breast implants provide optimal shape, deter leakage and minimize complications.

Silicone gel implants were removed from the US market in 1993 after concerns they could leak, rupture and cause health related issues. Experts now say that new cohesive gel silicone implants are made differently, and are less susceptible to complications.

Form stable cohesive gel implants (cited as the “new” silicone implants) are such a hot topic in the breast augmentation world today because of their promising ability to provide optimal shape, deter leakage and minimize complications.

Dallas plastic surgeon, William P. Adams, Jr., M.D. is one of the few surgeons in the country chosen to participate in the current FDA trial of these new breast implants. One of the most compelling benefits of the new cohesive implants is their unique ability to shape the breast. “These new form stable cohesive gel implants provide patients with a very natural look and feel, as well as added potential safety benefits,” says Adams. These implants feel a lot like natural breast tissue and provide a way for women to enhance their breast size or shape, or to replace a breast that has been removed due to cancer or other disease.

In fact, gel implants are known as "gummy bear implants" because they are made with a more viscous gel than previous silicone models. “Several major advances in breast augmentation have benefited patients in the past 5 years, and these devices represent the most significant device related advance in breast implants for over 20 years. These cohesive gel implants have had great success in Europe and South America over the past 10-12 years; however, in the US are only available through FDA clinical trials. The early results of these trials have been quite favorable. The new implants hopefully will become more widely available in the US in 2006 likely after the approval of the older generation silicone gel implants,” Adams explained.

Dr. William P. Adams Jr. is regarded as a national expert in breast augmentation and breast/ body contouring procedures and is renowned for his expertise in breast implant surgery. Dr. Adams has a private plastic surgery practice based in Dallas, TX and is also an associate clinical professor in the Department of Plastic Surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center. He is invited all over the world to speak to surgeons, industry and patients about breast augmentation and breast surgery technologies and issues.
