Pre-Surgery Consultation
You’ve probably spent countless hours making the deeply personal decision to undergo plastic surgery. We don’t take that lightly. We want you to feel confident, informed, and relaxed throughout this entire process.
During your 45 to 60 minute consultation, Dr. Barton puts together a personalized treatment plan for you depending on your specific needs. She and the rest of our team are here to support you, listen, and help you get your confidence back.
In-depth Discussion
We listen intently to your goals and learn what motivates you to undergo surgery. The office at McGuiness Dermatology is a welcoming space where you can explore your options and make informed decisions. We take pride in transparency and honesty, so we encourage you to voice your concerns and expectations.
Physical Examination
After discussing your goals, we conduct a physical evaluation where Dr. Barton gently and respectfully assesses your anatomy, skin quality, and underlying structures. This helps determine the best surgical approach tailored specifically to your body and your ideal surgery outcomes.
Review Surgical Options
There are many options available for plastic surgery in Plano. Once we understand your anatomy, we explain the procedures and the different techniques involved to help you reach your goals. By showing you before-and-after photos, you can visualize potential outcomes and set realistic expectations.
Understanding the Steps of Surgery
We provide you with a detailed explanation of your surgical journey, so you feel prepared for the following steps:
- Receiving pre-operation preparation guidance, which may include refraining from tobacco and alcohol for at least 2 weeks.
- Understanding the surgery and the different techniques involved.
- We also explain recovery and follow-up care.
These steps empower and reassure you about your decision and our level of care.
Open Conversation
Your questions and concerns are valued; please ask anything during your consultation, no matter how big or small. Whether you’re curious about surgical details, recovery timelines, or scar potential, we will provide honest and clear answers.
We want to stress the crucial role of open communication regarding any emotional concerns. Our team understands that undergoing plastic surgery encompasses not only physical changes, but can also have a significant emotional impact.
Our Services
Now that you understand the pre-procedure process, let’s explore your options for plastic surgery in Plano.
Body Transformations
We offer a range of services designed to sculpt, contour, and enhance your figure. These treatments can remove excess fat cells and skin, revealing a tighter, more toned appearance as we age.
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Among our most popular offerings at McGuiness Dermatology and Plastic Surgery is the abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck. For many of our clients, the abdominal area remains resistant to traditional weight loss methods like clean eating and rigorous exercises.
However, even with abdominal slimming, excess skin can remain, leaving individuals just as self-conscious. Whether due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, the abdominal area tends to be the hardest place to tighten and tone. Abdominoplasty effectively removes excess fat through liposuction and eliminates excess skin from the abdomen.
Not Just a Cosmetic Procedure
We understand that most people want a tummy tuck to improve the appearance of their abdomen, and that’s a valid reason.
However, along with the boost of self-confidence and improved contour, this procedure also tightens the abdominal muscles for women with diastasis recti. Pregnant and postpartum women experience this condition which causes the abdominal muscles to separate during pregnancy. A tummy tuck can tighten the connective tissue and close the separation.
Better Hygiene
We can remove excess skin from your abdomen, as well as your back, arms, thighs, and breasts. Removing this skin reduces the chance of infections, fungus, and rashes, thus improving hygiene.
Not Just a Weight Loss Solution
To set realistic expectations, we want to emphasize that a tummy tuck does not replace a healthy diet or exercise routine. Plastic surgery in Plano provides permanent results as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Fat Transfer
We have no control over how our body distributes fat. You can thank genetics and hormones for that. Fortunately, plastic surgeons can give you some say in the matter using advanced liposuction techniques. With a fat transfer, you can take fat from one part of your body, like the belly, hips, and thighs, and transfer it via injections to a more desirable location, including the following:
- Breasts – Reconstruct and augment your breasts
- Buttocks – Increase the size of your bum
- Hips – Enhance waist/hip ratio
- Face – Fill in wrinkles or repair scars
- Lips – Create more plump and youthful lips
- Cheeks – Heighten and define cheekbones
Fat transfers create a natural and subtle enhancement to the injected areas. We can discuss this option during your consultation.
Breast Surgeries
We all know that breasts can enhance your silhouette and create a more feminine physique. Focusing on the individuality of each patient’s breasts, Dr. Barton aims for both beautiful and functional outcomes.
Breast Augmentation
Using silicone or saline implants, Dr. Barton can increase the size of your breasts and accentuate their existing shape. She also conducts breast augmentations to restore breasts back to their original appearance after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Women and men get breast augmentations to correct asymmetry or unevenness between breasts as well.
If you’re not comfortable with the idea of implants, Dr. Barton may suggest a fat transfer for a subtle augmentation.
Breast Lift
A breast lift repositions your breast tissue and nipple to a more youthful position by removing excess skin. This procedure can improve volume, inner cleavage, shape, and positioning on the chest. We can also offer a breast lift in addition to an augmentation to improve both size and placement.
Breast Reduction
Plastic surgery in Plano allows for a lot of customization and tailoring to your unique anatomy. Not only can you increase the size of your breasts, but you can also reduce them, too. A breast reduction offers aesthetic benefits like achieving a more balanced appearance. This surgery also addresses physical discomforts related to large breasts, including back pain, headaches, skin infections, neck strain, and shoulder pain.
Facial Surgeries
The first thing you see in the mirror every morning is your face. You should love your appearance through all stages of life. Although wrinkles and sagging skin indicate natural, healthy aging, they may not reflect how youthful you feel on the inside. Facial surgeries can allow you to turn back time, or make it seem that way, so you can age gracefully.
Facial Lifts
We offer the following skin tightening procedures that can improve your facial contour:
- Facelift – We can lift, firm, and tighten lines and wrinkles to enhance facial symmetry. We have a range of techniques to tailor your facelift to your needs. Depending on whether you’re interested in restoring the upper portion of your face, or lower and middle sections, we can create a harmonious and balanced appearance.
- Necklift – A necklift excises excess skin and removes fat from your lower face and neck. This procedure addresses fatty deposits under the chin and muscle banding in the neck.
- Eyelid Lift – A blepharoplasty targets concerns on the upper and lower parts of your eyes. We can address undereye bags, hooding of the upper eyelid, and excess skin of the upper and lower eyelids.
- Brow Lift – Wrinkling and aging skin initially appear on the forehead and brow. By removing excess skin and tightening these areas, we can improve wrinkles, fine lines, and drooping eyebrows. Dr. Barton customizes this procedure to your hairline, aiming for natural, anatomically correct results.
Rhinoplasty
A rhinoplasty reshapes your nose to improve your appearance, breathing, or both. This procedure balances the face, while also providing functional benefits like opening nasal passages and straightening your septum (the internal wall separating your nostrils).
Chin Augmentation
A chin augmentation involves placing an implant through an incision underneath the chin or inside the mouth to improve facial harmony. With more projection, we can reduce the appearance of a double chin, and enhance the contours of your jawline.
Otoplasty
An otoplasty involves modifying the cartilage of your ears to reshape them. We have 3 different types of otoplasty, each designed to achieve a specific goal.
- Ear pinning – If you’re concerned with prominent ears that stick out, your surgeon can pin your ears closer to your head.
- Ear reduction – If you feel your ears are oversized, we can remove tissue for a smaller look.
- Ear augmentation – We can correct misshapen ears by using cartilage or tissue grafting to increase the outer portion and develop a more normal shape.
