Dr. Bafitis discusses the “skin tightening” effect of one Ultherapy® treatment. Ulthera technology directs safe “ultrasound” energy to the deep dermis to improve tone, and more significantly, to the lining of the musculature that creates a lifting much like a traditional facelift. This is a non surgical skin lifting and tightening treatment with no downtime, no needles, no lasers, and no anesthesia. This presentation shows many before and after photos of Ultherapy including “face and neck tightening” and upper brow lifting.

The results are apparent almost immediately but take 3 months to “mature” and improve; lasting 18-24 months, in most cases. Watch video of Dr. Bafitis discussing this procedure as he has it done on himself.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of the Palm Beaches understands what a delicate subject cosmetic vaginal surgery can be. We are proud to have Bernard Stern, MD as part of our surgical team – it is with this skilled surgeon that we offer yet another choice to our patients in achieving their cosmetic and reconstructive dreams.

Dr. Stern states, “These are very serious issues for many women, and sadly in most cases not properly addressed by the majority of physicians. As a result some women actually suffer emotionally and avoid intimacy altogether.”

Dr. Stern has over 25 years of private practice experience and is one of the select few with advanced training and expertise in the fine art of cosmetic surgery of the female genitalia and now limits his practice exclusively to these procedures.

Dr. Stern has been a leader in this field from its inception and has pioneered most of the techniques you have read about in the lay and scientific media. He has consistently been a pioneer in innovative and reproducible techniques that bring dramatic, positive results to patients.

Dr. Harold Bafitis as Medical Director of the Plastic Surgery Institute of the Palm Beaches, Inc., and Bafitis Plastic Surgery has created a surgical/medical team that is second to none in assisting patients in realizing their aesthetic and reconstructive goals.

This system is literally a nonsurgical facelifting system that utilizes directed ultrasound energy.  Within an hour to an hour and one-half, the cheek, neck, and jowls can be improved as well as the forehead raised with no surgery.  It does take three months to see an initial result, and 87% of people will need only one session; 11% will need two sessions, and this usually involves severe laxity or male facial skin; and 3% may need three treatments to give significant improvement.

The CoolSculpting® by Zeltiq Procedure is a non invasive procedure best designed to reduce fat on the abdomen, back fat, “under bra” area and love handle areas. The procedure is not a way to lose weight or treat obesity. It works best in patients who are relatively fit, but have some modest-size fat bulges that are not easily reduced through diet and exercise.

Each CoolSculpting procedure results in an average 25% reduction of fat in the treated area.

This technology freezes away stubborn fat. CoolSculpting gently targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges.

Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, or downtime.  Patients often spend the one to two hours of procedure time reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing.

Results can be seen in as soon as three weeks following – just one treatment, with the best results occurring over the next two to four months. From just one treatment.  Learn more about this procedure.
