Services
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eye area by removing excess skin and fat to create a youthful appearance. Ideal for addressing drooping eyelids or under-eye bags, this procedure enhances both aesthetics and symmetry. Patients benefit from Dr. Kaufman's expertise in facial reconstruction for precise, natural results.
Breast Augmentation
This procedure enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Dr. Kaufman offers personalized implant selection and advanced techniques like endoscopic placement for minimal scarring. Results provide improved proportion and self-confidence with a natural, youthful appearance.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets localized fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and neck. Dr. Kaufman uses advanced liposculpture techniques to contour the body while preserving skin integrity. Fat grafting options allow harvested fat to enhance other areas like the cheeks or buttocks.
Botox Injections
Botox reduces facial wrinkles by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles. Dr. Kaufman administers precise injections to smooth glabellar lines and crow's feet while maintaining natural facial expressions. Treatments also address medical concerns like hyperhidrosis with proven effectiveness.
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses facial aging by tightening skin and underlying tissues for a rejuvenated appearance. Dr. Kaufman combines traditional techniques with modern approaches to restore youthful contours while preserving nerve integrity for natural results.

Questions
What plastic surgery procedures are covered by insurance?
Reconstructive procedures like breast reconstruction post-mastectomy or eyelid surgery for vision obstruction may be covered. Cosmetic surgeries generally aren't covered.
How long is recovery after breast augmentation?
Most patients return to light work within 5-7 days. Full recovery with implant settling takes 6-8 weeks. Dr. Kaufman provides detailed post-op instructions for optimal healing.
Does liposuction require general anesthesia?
Liposuction typically uses general anesthesia for patient comfort. Local anesthesia with sedation may be options for smaller treatment areas, determined during consultation.
What makes a good Botox candidate?
Ideal candidates have moderate facial wrinkles seeking temporary improvement. Dr. Kaufman evaluates skin quality and muscle activity to determine appropriate treatment areas and dosage.
How are surgical results maintained long-term?
Following post-operative care instructions, maintaining stable weight, and protecting skin from sun exposure help preserve results. Some procedures like Botox require periodic maintenance injections.
