Premier Plastic Surgery of Kansas City is a full service reconstructive and cosmetic surgery clinic staffed by Board-certified plastic surgeons and a compassionate, non-judgmental staff. We understand that the decision to undergo plastic surgery is frequently a difficult one and not one that is made lightly. At Premier Plastic Surgery of Kansas City, the doctors listen carefully to their patients and work with them in order to come up with the most appropriate course of action for achieving the results they desire.
The services offered at Premier Plastic Surgery of Kansas City fall into three broad categories:
- Major Cosmetic Surgery: breast augmentation, facelift, tummy tuck, genital surgery (labiaplasty)
- Minor Cosmetic Treatments: liposuction, laser peel, dermabrasion, rhinoplasty (nose surgery)
- Reconstructive Surgery: facial reconstruction, correction of congenital defects, skin grafts
Reconstructive surgical procedures are frequently desirable and necessary after a disfiguring accident, certain types of surgery, and even for genetic defects. Facial reconstruction is an especially complex issue, involving the underlying bone structure surrounding the eyes, nose, cheeks and underlying the jaw. In the case of the latter, it is often necessary to consult a surgeon experienced in dental reconstruction as well.
Reconstructive surgery may also be indicated for cancer survivors, particularly women who have undergone mastectomy (breast removal) and people who have had skin cancer. There are numerous graft and revision techniques available for such patients, some of which are non-invasive and employ the use of precision laser equipment and microsurgical techniques. Mastectomy patients can have full breast reconstruction after major breast cancer surgery; today’s techniques can restore a natural appearance in a matter of a few weeks or months.
Correction of congenital birth defects are among the most challenging of surgeries, as the surgeon must deal with structures that have been in place since birth. In addition, some seemingly minor congenital birth defects can be signs of a more serious underlying problem. Nonetheless, today’s advanced surgical techniques can correct congenital problems that were considered untreatable even as recently as ten years ago.
Premier Plastic Surgery of Kansas City offers numerous surgical and other treatment solutions for the full range of cosmetic and reconstructive issues faced by most people in their lives. Patients who have questions or are wondering about the best solutions for their cosmetic issues should schedule a consultation in order to learn more about their options.
