Hylaform, Collagen, and Fat Transfers. These procedures are
done in-office with minimal discomfort using anesthesia). |
| • |
NOSE RE-SHAPING (Rhinoplasty) This surgery
is of special interest to Dr. von Maur. He performs this surgery
using an open or closed technique and will frequently combine
cartilage modification with cartilage grafting and internal
nasal reconstruction for breathing improvement. Dr. von Maur
believes that facial balance is an integral and extremely important
element in creating facial beauty. The nose is the aesthetic
(albeit subconscious) center of the face and small alterations
or refinements in the nose will have a remarkable effect on
improving the over-all facial appearance. |

BLEPHAROPLASTY (Eyelid Beautification) completes
the over-all formula for facial balance and harmony. |

MEDICAL SKIN REJUVENATION
Dr. von Maur employs two full time, fully trained medical aestheticians
to provide you with the most up to date and advanced medical skin
care treatments and products. Dr. von Maur feels that skin care
is equally as important as surgery, and must work in harmony with
invasive procedures. To that end, he has dedicated his practice
to the latest and most advanced skin improvement rejuvenation modalities
and offers you a choice of different “light” therapies
ranging from the non-ablative PhotoFacial (Intense Pulse Light),
N’Lite, HGM, and CO2 Laser.
| • |
PHOTOFACIAL (IPL) removes age spots, rosacea,
broken capillaries, also improves acne and scars. The advantage
is no down time or peeling. This popular treatment is favored
by people who wish to remove signs of sun and weather damage,
such as age spots and broken capillaries allowing them to still
maintain their normal schedule. The PhotoFacial works equally
well on the neck, hands, chest (décolletage) and arms.
When combined with additional creams, it can reverse pre-cancerous
skin lesions and possibly eliminate the need for surgery. It
is also helpful for active acne as well as acne scars. |
| • |
N-LITE LASER is a non-ablative laser, which
is effective in improving scars after surgery or trauma as well
as softening fine lines around the eyes. It remodels collagen
and is therefore helpful to reduce acne scarring especially
when combined with PhotoFacial |
| • |
HGM LASER – This laser is a crypton-based
laser, which is very effective to remove pigmented moles and
larger capillaries of the face. When combined with IPL, it is
very useful to complete treatment in these areas. Most pigmented
moles or warts are treated very effectively without surgery
using the HGM laser. |
| • |
CO2 LASER and ERBIUM LASER – these
two lasers work on the surface of your skin to create a variable
depth superficial peel that is effective especially with deeper
lines of the face. They may be used in conjunction with the
other modalities when indicated. |
BODY CONTOURING SURGERY
Many patients, despite diet and exercise, are unable to achieve
the body or silhouette they dream of. While other patients who have
lost weight find themselves dealing with “problem areas”
where there is excess, redundant skin. Dr. von Maur specializes
in body contouring from head to toe. He has a vast experience with
abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) thigh-buttock lift, lower body lift,
inner thigh lift, and arm lift (brachioplasty). These are very rewarding
procedures with patients who have struggled most of their adult
life with these problems and have finally found a solution. By combining
external ultrasound and power-assisted liposculpture and using three-dimensional
analysis, significant improvement of your figure and shape is the
result.

BREAST ENHANCEMENT
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgeries
today performed in southern California. Dr. von Maur utilizes saline
or silicone, depending on the patient’s breast configuration.
This can be determined at the time of initial evaluation. The scars
from breast augmentation are generally peri-areolar, but sometimes
trans-axillary, and sub-mammary. Dr. von Maur likes to use a pain
pump catheter for breast augmentation patients because it can be
left in place for up to three days.
| • |
Breast lift (mastopexy) is the best way to
correct post-partum breasts where the skin is stretched and
the breasts droop. There are varieties of mastopexy methods
used that are state of the art and very effective. The breast
lift can be done with our without a breast implant depending
on the patient’s desires. |
| • |
Breast reduction helps to improve body proportion,
reduce neck, back and shoulder pain, improve well-being, and
allows a person to engage in activities that would normally
be a challenge. This operation is done under general anesthesia
and is sometimes partially covered by insurance. |
