The Ultimate Lift
Gary Horndeski, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Women request breast lifts to correct two problems. First, the breast mound has
fallen and second, the breast appears deflated with downward pointing nipples.
The ideal goal is to lift the breast mound so that it begins at the level of a
horizontal line determined by the junction of the arm to the chest. The second
goal is to increase breast projection and reposition the nipple to the most
anterior position.
A new technique of internal suspension similar to a push up bra corrects both of
these problems. Upon completion, The Ultimate Lift has incisions hidden at the
nipple-skin junction and near the junction of the breast and chest inferiorly.
There are no unsightly vertical scars, T-shaped scars, lollipop scars or boat
anchor shaped scars. Women express great satisfaction after The Ultimate Lift
since the breast position of the chest wall is similar to wearing a push up
bra. Women are able to wear strapless, spaghetti strap or low-cut clothes
without visible scars. This procedure can also be modified for breast
reductions. Call 281-565-8099 today for a free consultation.

Look Younger
Iris S. Polinger, M.D., PH.D., P.A.
Dr. Iris S. Polinger is a board certified dermatologist and is laser certified.
She offers several cosmetic procedures such as fractionated Pixel laser for
skin resurfacing, skin tightening laser, photofacial laser, and lasers for hair
removal, acne blue light treatment, acne scar improvement, leg veins and tattoo
removal. Also performed by Dr. Polinger are Botox
®, Restylane®, JuvedermTM and Radiesse® injections. Microdermabrasion, chemical peels and medical facials are also
available in Dr. Polinger
’s office.
The skin-tightening laser is safe, relatively painless, effective and
non-invasive. Without damaging the skin
’s surface, pulsed light safely and effectively heats the inner layer (the
dermis) of the skin, inducing the formation of collagen. Hanging jowls and
sagging necks may be tightened giving the patient a firmer look without
surgical incisions.
The fractionated Pixel laser is useful for the improvement of wrinkles and crows
feet, brown spots, acne gouges and scars, red spots, and it removes certain
types of tiny moles. When used together with the photofacial laser (which helps
to eliminate tiny red lines and brown spots from the skin, and appears to
tighten pores) the improvement in skin tone and texture is remarkable.
Treatments with the fractionated laser, the skin tightening laser and the
photofacial laser may be rotated to achieve the best results for the patient.
This is the laser 360 program.
Dr. Polinger’s laser hair removal treatments are customized to the patient’s skin type, hair color, texture and body location. Patients experience little
or no discomfort.
For your free cosmetic consultation regarding laser procedures and Botox®, Restylane®, Radiesse® or JuvedermTM injections, please call Dr. Polinger’s office at 281-491-9278.

Tumescent Liposuction—
The Next Step to a Great Shape!
Pamela M. Carr, M.D., P.A.
Eating a healthy diet and maintaining a good exercise program are not always
enough to get rid of those stubborn areas of body fat. Sometimes a love handle
or saddlebag will just not improve with all your best efforts. So when your
shape is not all it can be it is time to consider tumescent liposuction.
Tumescent liposuction is a safe in-office procedure. A numbing solution is
introduced into the areas of fat to be removed. The fat is then harvested in a
very comfortable way. After your procedure you rest at home that evening but
are up and walking two miles the very next day!
To find out more about tumescent liposuction, please visit www.carrderm.com or schedule a free consultation. 281-494-0034.

Leading-edge Breast
Reconstruction Procedures
Methodist Sugar Land Hospital
Pierre Chevray, M.D., Ph.D., plastic and reconstructive surgeon on staff at
Methodist Sugar Land Hospital, recently performed the first-ever
“perforator free flap” breast reconstruction surgery in Fort Bend County. In the perforator free flap
procedure, skin, soft tissue and tiny blood vessels are removed from the
patient
’s abdomen. The blood vessels are then matched to supplying vessels at the
mastectomy site and reattached under a microscope. The tissue is then
surgically molded into a new breast mound.
Because these procedures do not remove any muscle from the abdomen, they avoid
the common side effects of more traditional breast reconstruction surgery
including abdominal weakness or bulging. In addition, because blood flow is
robust from the attached vessels, the new breast is softer and more lifelike.
By working in concert with the surgeons performing mastectomies, Dr. Chevray
saves the patient from two separate surgeries
—and from living for a time without a breast or breasts. For more information on
the perforated free flap procedure, call The Methodist Institute for
Reconstructive Surgery at 713-441-6100.
