As innovation in this complex field advances, it can be more and more difficult to identify and distinguish the characteristics of the right kind of surgeon for your procedure. Doctors of varying skill, specialty and experience have ventured into the cosmetic market. They are backed by powerful advertising campaigns that can both entice and confuse the first-time client. Potential risks run high when considering cosmetic surgery: aesthetically, medically and financially. That is why it is so important to devote time and attention when selecting a plastic surgeon for you. Below, Dr. Capizzi has compiled some of the most critical questions to ask of your surgeon. WHAT SEPARATES YOU FROM OTHER SURGEONS? This is a great question to ask, because a doctor will usually focus on his or her strengths in terms of technique, experience and areas of interest. It helps you to determine whether the doctor you are interviewing specializes in the particular procedure that interests you. You may find a doctor with excellent credentials that specializes in nose jobs, but that doesn’t reassure you much if you are getting breast implants. You can further break this question down to ask what the doctor does differently in terms of anesthesia, incisions or recovery. Don’t be afraid to get technical. You will be learning and gathering more information than you... --- - Published: 2025-06-12 - Modified: 2026-01-19 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/med-spa/ Med Spa Discover the latest in aesthetic medicine with our full range of non-surgical treatments designed to refresh, restore, and enhance your natural beauty—all delivered by our expert team in a luxurious, welcoming setting.

Sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne scarring, and natural aging often leave behind discoloration that does not fade with topical products alone. For patients seeking a reliable and non-invasive solution, BBL Laser Treatment has become a preferred option for restoring clarity and balance to the skin. At Capizzi, MD Cosmetic Surgery & Med Spa, BBL Laser Treatment is used to address pigmentation concerns while improving overall skin tone and texture. This advanced light-based technology works beneath the surface of the skin to correct visible imperfections and promote long-term skin health. Understanding Pigmentation and Skin Tone Changes Pigmentation occurs when melanin production becomes uneven. Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin color, but when its distribution is disrupted, it can lead to dark spots, sun damage, freckles, redness, and uneven tone. Common causes of pigmentation include prolonged sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, inflammation from acne, genetics, and aging. Over time, these factors accumulate and become more noticeable, especially on the face, neck, chest, and hands. While creams and serums may help prevent further discoloration, they often struggle to correct deeper pigmentation. This is where BBL Laser Treatment offers a more precise and effective approach. What Is BBL Laser Treatment BBL Laser Treatment, also known as BroadBand Light therapy, is an advanced form of light-based skin treatment. Unlike traditional lasers that use a single wavelength, BBL delivers a broad spectrum of light energy that targets multiple skin concerns at... --- > Learn what a med spa is, the most popular treatments, benefits, and what to expect.

It blends the comfort of a traditional spa with the standards and oversight of a medical clinic. Unlike a day spa that focuses on relaxation alone, a med spa offers services that affect the skin, face, and body at a deeper level. At Capizzi, MD Cosmetic Surgery & Med Spa, treatments are supervised by an on-site physician, guided by medical expertise and delivered with a focus on safety, consistency, and natural results. This approach appeals to people who want visible improvement without surgery, lengthy recovery, or guesswork. How a Med Spa Is Different The main difference between a med spa and a salon or spa lies in who oversees the care and what treatments are offered. A med spa operates under a licensed physician. This allows for advanced aesthetic services that require medical judgment, such as injectable treatments, laser procedures, and skin resurfacing. At Capizzi MD, our med spa is guided by an on-site physician, instead of a remote director, giving us access to higher-caliber results-driven treatments for our patients. Because of this structure, our med spa can safely address concerns like wrinkles, sun damage, uneven skin tone, acne scars, unwanted hair, and early signs of aging. Treatments are customized based on skin type, medical history, and long term goals, not trends.

While the reasons for choosing surgery vary, most patients share a similar goal. They want their body to feel more balanced, more proportional, and more aligned with how they see themselves. For some, the decision follows pregnancy or weight loss. For others, it is about correcting natural asymmetry or restoring volume lost over time. At Capizzi, MD Cosmetic Surgery & Med Spa, breast augmentation is approached as a personal medical decision rather than a cosmetic trend. Understanding how the procedure works, what options exist, and what recovery truly involves allows patients to move forward with clarity and confidence. Understanding Breast Augmentation Surgery Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts using implants or, in select cases, fat transfer. The surgery is performed under anesthesia and typically takes one to two hours. Implant placement can be customized based on anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. The procedure is not about creating a single ideal look. It is about choosing proportions that fit the individual patient. This distinction matters. A well-planned breast augmentation should look natural in motion, feel appropriate for the body frame, and age gracefully over time. Why Patients Choose Breast Augmentation Patients seek breast augmentation for many reasons, and these reasons often overlap. Some women are born with naturally smaller breasts that never fully developed. Others experience volume loss after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight changes.... --- - Published: 2024-04-11 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/tummy-tuck-vs-liposuction-whats-the-difference/ In the quest for a flatter stomach, two popular procedures emerge: liposuction and abdominoplasty - better known as a tummy tuck. Both offer benefits but cater to different needs. And even with a dedication to exercise, diet, and non-surgical solutions like CoolSculpting, that dream flat stomach might still feel out of reach. Surgical options like liposuction and tummy tucks can offer a more permanent solution for a midsection transformation. Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits, sculpting specific areas. Tummy tucks, on the other hand, address loose skin and stretched abdominal muscles, often a consequence of childbirth or weight loss. The difference between them depends on your individual goals and body. Let's delve into the specifics of each procedure, helping you decide which path is right for your sculpted midsection. What are the main differences? Don't be fooled by their similar goals! Liposuction and tummy tucks, while both aiming to transform your midsection, take vastly different approaches. A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, tackles both excess tissue and muscle laxity. Your surgeon will remove fat and skin, while also tightening separated abdominal muscles – a common consequence of pregnancy. This creates a smoother, firmer abdomen with no bulging or loose skin, ideal for those seeking a more dramatic transformation. Liposuction, on the other hand, focuses solely on fat removal. Using a cannula (a thin tube) connected to a suction machine, it literally sucks out fat cells. Liposuction offers more versatility, targeting fat deposits across the body, not just the abdomen. However,... --- - Published: 2024-04-10 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/how-to-achieve-natural-facelift-results/ Do you long to restore a youthful vibrancy to your face, but hesitate at the thought of an unnatural, "pulled-tight" appearance? You're not alone. Many desire a way to recapture a rested, rejuvenated look without sacrificing their natural beauty. Natural facelift results are one of our patients’ most desired goals for surgery. These are characterized by smoothing deep lines and folds, removal of excess skin, recentering of fat pads, and a generalized “well-rested” look. Whether you're just starting to consider facial rejuvenation or have researched traditional facelifts, after reading this you will be better equipped with the knowledge to make informed decisions about achieving a natural, ageless you. We'll explore the benefits of a natural facelift, what results can include, and if you may be a good candidate for this procedure. What are the benefits of a natural facelift? When performed by a highly trained board-certified plastic surgeon, a natural-appearing facelift offers unmatched benefits in comparison to other more invasive surgical procedures available. At Capizzi MD, this is the goal of almost all of our facelift patients so we prioritize results that will restore global youthfulness and revitalization. These benefits include: Reduced signs of aging: By smoothing deep lines and folds around the mouth and nose, you can look and feel younger. More defined jawline: A facelift can create a sharper, more defined jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls and sagging skin. Lifted and Tighter Skin: The overall effect is tighter, smoother skin on the cheeks and face, creating a... --- - Published: 2024-04-02 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/halo-vs-bbl-laser-treatment-what-is-the-difference/ Do you dream of a more youthful, radiant complexion? Age, sun damage, and stubborn pigmentation can leave skin looking uneven and dull. If you're considering laser treatments to achieve that healthy glow, you might be wondering about two popular options: BBL and HALO laser treatments. Both BBL and HALO laser treatments offer impressive skin rejuvenation benefits, but they target different concerns and have varying recovery times. In this blog post, we'll delve into the world of these lasers, exploring: What BBL and HALO laser treatments are and how they work The specific skin concerns each treatment addresses. Recovery expectations for BBL vs. HALO Unveiling the potential benefits of combining these treatments. By the end, you'll be well-equipped to decide which laser treatment, or if a combination approach, might be the perfect fit for your goals. So, get ready to discover the path to smoother, brighter, and more confident skin! What is BBL? BBL stands for BroadBand Light, and though it's often referred to as a laser treatment, it technically uses a different technology. The BBL uses multiple wavelengths of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to target broken capillaries, redness, rosacea, and brown spots that have developed within the layers of the skin. Unlike a laser which targets one specific wavelength, BBL offers a broader spectrum allowing it to address a variety of skin issues. During the treatment, these pigments are heated, absorbed, and broken down, which triggers your body’s natural healing response to improve the appearance of those irregularities. Compared to... --- - Published: 2024-03-28 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/after-breast-surgery-must-haves/ So, you’ve booked your breast surgery, prepped the guest room for your recovery queen self, and mentally prepared for some post-op pampering. But wait! Before you dive headfirst into Netflix marathons and endless cups of tea, there are few breast essentials you’ll need to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery journey. From breast moisturizer to comfy bralettes, this is your one-stop shop for all the breast surgery must-haves. We’ll guide you through everything you need to feel supported and ready to heal like a champ. What Does a Recovery Look Like? The recovery process from breast surgery can look different from practice to practice. At Capizzi MD we recommend that you take it easy the first day or two, but you should feel comfortable enough to drive and return to work on days 2-3. In the first week, you will notice that normal activities will make you more tired than usual, this is to be expected as your body heals.

Easing Swelling and Discomfort When we asked our patients if breast surgery was painful, the main answer is “Not really, it feels like engorgement or tightness more than anything. ” To help with the swelling and tightness that you might feel, let’s chat about the following products: Pain medication: This is something that we offer to all patients, to... --- - Published: 2024-03-26 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/best-types-of-breast-lifts/ “What is the best type of breast lift? ” is a question we encounter so often during consultations at Capizzi MD. It can be confusing and overwhelming to know the best option for you. As you go to different consultations, each surgeon recommends a different one with its own set of scars, pricing, and pros & cons. This blog is here to guide you and explore the different types of breast lifts, from minimally invasive options to those addressing significant sagging. By understanding your options, you can feel empowered to discuss your goals with a board-certified plastic surgeon and achieve the results you desire. What A Breast Lift Does A breast lift removes excess skin, recenters the areola, and resizes the areola if it is stretched. The amount of adjustment needed will determine your surgeon’s recommendation. Other factors will also play into their decision including your history (pregnancies and weight fluctuations), age, the integrity of your skin and tissue (how much laxity or “snap” does your skin have), or if you desire an implant to enhance volume. A breast lift alone does not enhance volume and it is extremely common to see patients add an implant to their procedures as a way of adding volume to their new perky breasts. Check out our Breast Augmentation + Lift photos here. The Full Lift A full breast lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that addresses breasts that have undergone significant changes in their appearance over time.

It can be associated with weight gain but can also be caused by genetics or looser skin that results from aging. Getting rid of a double chin is not always as easy as simply losing weight and many people feel they are plagued with this feature, despite being otherwise healthy. The good news is that the double chin can easily be remedied with one of the following treatments: CoolSculpting For Double Chin Kybella Injectable Submental Liposuction Morpheus8 Skin Tightening CoolSculpting For Double Chin CoolSculpting your double chin is a non-invasive procedure that uses cryolipolysis, aka “fat freezing,” to target and eliminate fat cells under the chin and in the neck. This treatment can result in a slimmer and more defined jawline. Here is how it works: Targeted cooling: A CoolSculpting applicator is applied to your chin, and the applicator applies controlled cooling to the targeted fat cells. Fat cell destruction: By CoolSculpting your neck, the controlled cooling damages the fat cells so they die. Natural elimination: After double chin CoolSculpting, your body will naturally flush out the destroyed fat cells over the course of the next 12 weeks. Benefits of CoolSculpting for double chin: Non-invasive Minimal downtime Gradual results Long-lasting However, it’s important to remember that CoolSculpting: May require repeated sessions: to fully CoolSculpt the neck and chin area.... --- - Published: 2024-03-08 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/rf-microneedling/ If you are a skincare enthusiast you have probably heard of radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. It’s likely if you have a good aesthetician in your back pocket, they have encouraged you to do this for a variety of reasons spanning from acne scars to skin laxity. Devices with names like Profound, Morpheus8, or Vivace have been on the market for years offering this service. But what, exactly, is it? And how does it differ from regular microneedling? As the name would suggest, RF microneedling combines microneedling with heat to attack skin concerns both on the surface and far below. This treatment has been shown to alleviate the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture. But its piece de resistance is skin tightening. These devices (some better than others) can not only smooth the surface of your skin, but also work to develop collagen and elastin deep below the surface creating that lift that you might be looking for. What is RF microneedling and what are its benefits? Everything unavoidable in life (like getting older and sunshine) causes a breakdown of collagen and elastin in our skin. When this happens, our skin starts to texturize (think pores and fine lines). RF microneedling works to restore some of this lost collagen and thus the firmness and “snap” that our skin once had. Regular microneedling causes micro-injuries in the skin to trigger a wound-healing response that promotes collagen production. RF microneedling takes this one step further by pushing radiofrequency energy into deeper... --- - Published: 2024-02-19 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/dermatologist-vs-plastic-surgeon-which-is-better/ At Capizzi MD, we encounter a lot of patients seeking Charlotte dermatology options for mole removal. While dermatology and plastic surgery are different career paths, they are oriented towards similar goals and overlap in many areas. A dermatologist is trained to focus on treating and improving the health and appearance of the skin using non-invasive or minimally invasive methods. For widespread skincare concerns, annual mole assessments, or skin cancer needs, a dermatologist is going to be a great person to have on your care team. Differences Between Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists If you are considering a cosmetic procedure, you may be wondering whether you should turn to a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. The main differences between the two areas of specialization lie in their understanding of anatomy, skills, and aesthetics. Anatomy: Due to extensive fellowship training and rigorous board-certification processes. Plastic surgeons have a deep understanding of facial anatomy that can only be attained through performing surgery on that region of the body. They know how various structural features healing together may affect your appearance. They know how skin ages and how scars mature. For these reasons, they are a great choice for facial procedures ranging from mole removals to improving the appearance of deep scars. Aesthetics: A plastic surgeon is trained specifically on surgical procedures to alter the body’s appearance and function. In Charlotte, dermatologists often refer mole removals or lesion removals to plastic surgeons because greater care can be taken in the aesthetic outcome of the procedure.... --- - Published: 2024-02-05 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/facelift-scars-what-to-expect-after-surgery/ It's completely understandable to have some anxieties about facelift scars, especially right after the procedure. They're a reminder of a big change, and even though you made the decision for yourself, it's normal to feel a little self-conscious or vulnerable. Here are a few things to remember that might offer some comfort: Facial scars heal fast: Due to an amazing amount of blood flow in our facial skin and structures, facial scars tend to heal fast and smooth out faster. Scarring fades over time: Scars naturally lighten and soften over the course of a year. Scar-minimizing creams help to smooth and lighten them, while also protecting them from UV exposure. Focus on the positives: Remember why you pursued a facelift in the first place. Was it to boost your confidence? Feel more youthful? Look your best for a special occasion? Now that you’ve recovered, focus on the positive changes you see in yourself. The scars will lighten and fade but your radiance never will. Factors That Affect Scar Placement Depending on the type of facelift or neck lift you receive, there can be differences in scar placements. The goal of the surgeon is to attain optimal results while only leaving behind minimal incisions. Some factors that can affect the appearance of facelift scars: Skin type: People with thicker, oilier skin tend to scar more easily than those with thinner, drier skin. Age: Younger patients generally heal better and have less noticeable scars than older patients. Smoking: Smoking can impair wound... --- - Published: 2024-01-29 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/6-rhinoplasty-recovery-rules-to-follow-after-surgery/ While it's important to be realistic about rhinoplasty recovery, there are just a few rules to follow when it comes to healing in style! Here's how to make sure your recovery is smooth and uneventful, and remember, you’ll be back to your normal routine in 4-6 weeks: 1. Sleep Slightly Elevated To help reduce swelling, Dr. Brian May recommends sleeping on your back and keeping your head slightly elevated while sleeping for the first week after surgery. This can be done propped up on two or three pillows to create a comfortable wedge, or by sleeping in a recliner. If you keep your head higher than your heart, you minimize the potential for fluid buildup in the area, which creates swelling. 2. No Smoking or drinking Press pause on any drinking of alcohol for two weeks following surgery. Alcohol thins the blood, can interact with pain medications, and increases chances of bleeding or bruising. After these two weeks, feel free to toast to your new nose! As for smoking, the board-certified surgeons at Capizzi MD recommend quitting smoking prior to any surgery and abstaining from nicotine for at least six weeks following your procedure. Nicotine interferes with the body’s natural healing processes by reducing blood flow to the skin, which can increase the chance of complications. It also has an effect on collagen and elastin production within the skin and can interfere with surgical results. 3. No Eyewear of Any Kind! Rhinoplasty patients should avoid sunglasses, reading glasses, and all... --- - Published: 2024-01-22 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/led-light-therapy-does-it-really-work-for-skincare-aging/ LED lights have become a popular buzzword in the skincare world, with promises of radiant skin, fewer wrinkles, and even acne elimination. But how exactly do these tiny lights work their magic? Are they worth it? According to 81% of RealSelf reviewers, they certainly are worth the hype! The Science Behind the Glow: LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and trigger different cellular processes. Each color of light has a unique effect: Red light: This wavelength is the deepest penetrating, stimulating collagen production, which plumps up the skin and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. It can also improve circulation and reduce inflammation. Blue light: This powerful light targets bacterium that contributes to acne breakouts. It can also help regulate oil production and prevent future blemishes. Green light: This wavelength promotes cell growth and wound healing, making it beneficial for sun damage and scarring. It also has a calming effect on the skin. Benefits of LED Light Therapy: Non-invasive and painless: Unlike harsh chemical peels or lasers, LED therapy is gentle and comfortable. Minimal side effects: There are very few risks associated with LED light therapy, making it a suitable option for most skin types. Targeted treatment: Specific light colors can be used to address different skin concerns. Boosts other skincare routines: LED therapy can enhance the effectiveness of topical products like serums and moisturizers. They are always part of the Platinum Hydrafacial experience to boost the results of your customized serums used during the... --- - Published: 2023-12-07 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/pregnancy-and-breast-implants-a-guide-for-mamas-to-be/ Congratulations! You're pregnant! This is an exciting time filled with anticipation, joy, and maybe a few anxieties. If you have breast implants, you might have some questions about how they'll fare during this amazing journey. Fear not, mama-to-be, we're here to navigate this together. Will my implants affect my pregnancy? Good news! The short answer is no. Your implants won't have any negative impact on your ability to conceive, carry a healthy baby, or deliver safely. They're designed to stay put, even as your breasts change shape and size throughout your pregnancy. What about changes to my breasts? Your breasts are rockstars during pregnancy. They'll grow, become more sensitive, and prepare for breastfeeding. This can lead to some visible changes in your implants, which is totally normal: Stretch marks: Your skin stretches to accommodate growth and stretch marks can appear on both natural breasts and those with implants. Changes in positioning: Implants might become more noticeable as your breasts enlarge, potentially appearing higher or wider set. Loss of volume: After pregnancy and breastfeeding, your breasts may shrink, leaving your implants feeling less natural or proportional. Can I breastfeed with implants? Absolutely! Breastfeeding with implants is safe for both you and your baby. The silicone or saline filling in your implants won't leak or interfere with milk production. However, some factors to consider: Nipple sensitivity: Implants can affect nipple sensation, making it harder to latch initially. Consult a lactation consultant for help. Milk supply: Some women with implants report lower milk... --- - Published: 2023-11-21 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/which-supplements-to-stop-taking-before-plastic-surgery/ Plastic surgery can come with a lot of prep, like making arrangements for your ride home and purchasing supplies to assist in the healing process. When this preparation is rethinking your supplements and daily vitamins. While these things do not cause harm to a healthy individual, even herbal supplements can thin the blood or react with anesthesia drugs. It is important to tell your physician about every medication and supplement you take before your surgery so they can advise you which ones are safe to continue, and which ones should be discontinued ahead of surgery. These are generalized guidelines, so make sure to talk to your physician, to make sure you are all ready for your big day! Blood Thinners The most common supplements we see that thin the blood are ginkgo biloba, garlic, and turmeric. This does not mean you need to avoid these as spices in your food! Just stop taking the highly concentrated supplement versions a minimum of ten days before your surgery. Other vitamins to avoid are vitamins E, C, and K, which can increase the risk of bleeding during and after surgery. Another supplement to avoid is fish oil/omega-3 fatty acids. These supplements can act as an anticoagulant and interfere with blood clotting, increasing your risk for post-operative bruising. Anesthesia Interference Some other types of supplements can interfere with how anesthesia works or make it more unpredictable for your anesthesiologist. To ensure safety during surgery, make sure you stop taking St. John’s wort and valerian... --- - Published: 2023-11-21 - Modified: 2025-04-29 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/5-cosmetic-procedures-that-are-safe-for-skin-of-color/ When it comes to cosmetic procedures, it's important to choose ones that are safe and effective for your skin type. While this is true for any patient, this is especially important for people with skin of color, as some procedures can cause hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that occurs when there is an excess of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, in certain areas of the skin. This excess melanin can cause dark patches or spots to appear on the skin. Hyperpigmentation can affect people of all skin types, but it is more common in people with darker skin tones. There are several different types of hyperpigmentation, including: Age spots: Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, are flat, brown spots that typically appear on the face, hands, and arms. They are caused by sun exposure. Melasma: Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation that is characterized by large, irregular patches of brown or gray skin. It is often triggered by pregnancy, birth control pills, or other hormonal changes. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): PIH is a type of hyperpigmentation that can occur after an injury to the skin, such as a burn, acne, or eczema.

It is a cosmetic procedure, meaning that it is not medically necessary. However, many women choose to have labiaplasty to improve their self-esteem and quality of life. At Capizzi MD, we have noticed that more and more women are interested in discussing the benefits of this procedure with our office. While there are many reasons and benefits for a labiaplasty, the most notable ones are below: Reasons for Labiaplasty There are many reasons why women choose to have labiaplasty. Some of the most common reasons include: Asymmetry: The labia minora can be asymmetrical, meaning that one side is larger than the other. This can be due to genetics, childbirth, or injury. Hypertrophy: The labia minora may be enlarged, causing discomfort or embarrassment. This can be due to genetics, childbirth, or hormonal changes. Pain: The labia minora may be painful during sexual intercourse or other activities. This can be due to hypertrophy, asymmetry, or other conditions such as lichen sclerosus. Appearance: Some women simply do not like the appearance of their labia minora and choose to have labiaplasty to improve their self-esteem. Physical Benefits of a Labiaplasty Reduced discomfort: Labiaplasty can reduce physical discomfort caused by enlarged, asymmetrical, or painful labia. This can make everyday activities, such as exercising, wearing certain types of clothing, and having sex, more comfortable. Improved hygiene: Labiaplasty can make... --- - Published: 2023-10-04 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/septoplasty-vs-rhinoplasty/ Two popular facial surgeries that we often hear about are Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty. What exactly are these procedures and how do they differ from each other? Let's dive in to gain a deeper understanding. Septoplasty is a surgical procedure primarily performed to correct a deviated septum. The septum is a wall that divides the nasal cavity into two halves. When it's deviated, it can make breathing difficult and, in some severe cases, it can be one-sided. The goal of a septoplasty is fundamentally to improve breathing. On the other hand, Rhinoplasty, also known as a 'nose job,' is typically performed for cosmetic purposes - to alter the shape, size, or proportions of the nose. This procedure can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose, making it a blend of aesthetics and functionality. Septoplasty: Mainly focuses on correcting structural defects for better functionality (i. e. , improved breathing) Rhinoplasty: Mostly undertaken for aesthetic improvements, but can also address functional issues. Thus, while both procedures are centered around the nose, the reasons and intended outcomes for each are markedly different. Can they be performed together? Absolutely. This is known as a septorhinoplasty. Who is a Good Candidate? It is imperative to understand who might be a prime candidate for this procedure. While it is ultimately up to your surgeon to determine this, here are some conditions that may indicate being a good candidate for these procedures: Nasal Obstruction: If you frequently experience difficulty breathing through your nose, it... --- - Published: 2023-09-27 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/should-i-get-plastic-surgery/ When meeting with patients in the Capizzi MD office, a common question is: "should I get cosmetic surgery? " While we are surgical practice, we also have a holistic approach to this medicine as we help guide patients to the answer that is right for them. At the end of the day, our mission is to help people feel good in their own skin, both with and without surgery. When assisting patients with this decision, we make sure to discuss the following factors with them thoroughly to assess what is going to be the best fit for their needs: Medical & Lifestyle Evaluation - Making Sure You're a Good Candidate An obligatory step in the process is a comprehensive medical evaluation. Your surgeon will assess your overall health to ensure you are medically fit for the procedure. Part of the evaluation will include a discussion about any existing medical conditions, allergies, and medications you are taking. In the same vein, everyone's lifestyle is incredibly varied and different! Some patients are 20 years old looking to feel better in bathing suits, some patients are 60 years old and interested in full face rejuvenation. Some people have a gang of children to keep track of, while others choose a pack of dogs. Some women have daily CrossFit workouts, while others choose yoga. And the list goes on! Depending on your lifestyle, type of work you do, and what is important to you, we help guide patients on assessing every aspect of their... --- - Published: 2023-08-29 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/philtrum-botox-the-other-name-for-lip-flip/ The Philtrum – a term derived from the Greek word "philtron" which means "love charm" – pertains to the vertical groove located in the middle area of the upper lip. This anatomical feature, while often overlooked, plays a significant role in the overall aesthetics of the face. Just like any other facial feature, it can be enhanced, and that's where philtrum botox, also known as the "lip flip", comes in. Philtrum: The space between the base of the nose and the top of the cupid's bow on the upper lip. It plays a key role in facial symmetry and attractiveness. It should not be too long nor too short, but harmoniously proportioned with the rest of the facial features. Botox: A purified form of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin that has the ability to temporarily paralyze muscle activity. In the world of medical aesthetics, it has proven to be a game-changer. But how does botox help the philtrum area exactly? By injecting small amounts of botox into the muscles surrounding the upper lip, the lip 'flips' upward and outward, thereby creating the illusion of a fuller, more appealing upper lip. This procedure not only improves the aesthetics of the philtrum and the upper lip, but it also helps to balance the overall symmetry of the face. Moreover, the lip flip procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime. So, whether you're seeking to enhance your natural beauty or address cosmetic concerns, philtrum botox could be a great option... --- - Published: 2023-08-29 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/stop-excessive-sweating-with-miradry/ Hyperhidrosis is a condition you may not be familiar with, but it's one that affects millions of individuals worldwide. In its simplest form, hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive, often uncontrollable, sweating. But what does hyperhidrosis look like? What signs should you be on the lookout for? Here, we delve into the specifics of this condition: Excessive sweating: This is the hallmark sign of hyperhidrosis. You may sweat so much that it soaks through your clothes or drips off your hands, even when the weather is cool or you're at rest. Skin issues: People with hyperhidrosis may experience skin infections and discomfort due to regular and prolonged wetness. Emotional distress: The condition can cause significant psychological trauma, as it often interferes with daily activities and social interactions. No one should have to live with the discomfort and embarrassment of excessive sweating. If you think you might be dealing with hyperhidrosis, then you are not alone—and there is a solution. Allow us to introduce you to miraDry, a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment designed to combat hyperhidrosis with lasting results. What is miraDry? miraDry is a groundbreaking, non-invasive treatment specifically designed to alleviate the discomfort of excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. This FDA-cleared procedure uses thermal energy to target and eliminate the sweat glands in your underarm area, effectively reducing your sweat production. How does miraDry work? The treatment area is first marked and numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure. The miraDry handpiece is then placed... --- - Published: 2023-06-26 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/demystifying-the-process-of-rhinoplasty/ Rhinoplasty, more commonly known as a 'nose job', isn't your everyday cosmetic procedure. It's an intricate dance of surgical precision and artistic flair, a balance of science and aesthetics. But before taking a nose dive into this transformative journey, here are some key things to keep in mind. It's not just about looks: While many opt for rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons, some people also choose this surgery to improve breathing issues or correct deformities. Rhinoplasty is a serious surgical procedure: Despite being a common cosmetic surgery, it involves anesthesia and a recovery period, and as such, should be taken seriously. Every nose is unique: Just as no two noses are identical, rhinoplasty results also vary from person to person. The goal isn't to achieve a 'perfect' nose, but a nose that naturally fits and harmonizes with your unique facial features. Patience is a virtue: The final result of a rhinoplasty isn't seen immediately. Swelling and bruising can linger, and the final, refined nose shape may not fully settle for up to a year post-op. Remember, an informed patient is a prepared patient. The more you know about the process, the better you can set your expectations and ensure a smooth surgical journey. So here is what you can expect when undergoing a rhinoplasty procedure with Capizzi MD Cosmetic Surgery. 1.

These procedures help to reshape the breast capsule, which is the tissue that surrounds the implant, to improve the aesthetic outcome of a breast augmentation or implant exchange. Capsuloraphy is used when there is a need to loosen, tighten or reinforce the capsule around an existing implant. This procedure helps reduce wrinkling and rippling of the implant and can also help reduce asymmetry. On the other hand, capsulectomy involves removing excess scar tissue from around an implant, allowing for a more natural-looking result. These procedures are important components of any breast revision surgery as they can help improve both form and function of a patient's breasts. With capsuloraphy and capsulectomy, surgeons can help ensure that their patients get the best possible results from their breast augmentation or implant exchange procedure. Do I Need an Implant Exchange? It’s common to hear that “implants need to be switched out every 10 years. ” This is false; with new implant technology, many implants can remain in place for much longer. Gummy bear implants are known for having much lower complication rates, and better results that last for longer, which allows patients to keep them in until they are ready for a new set (if at all). Most patients seek an implant exchange because they are unhappy with size or placement at some point (usually as a result of age, weight changes, or pregnancy).

This is a multi-stage procedure that involves taking fat from one area of your body and enhancing the size or shape of the breasts. Also known as a natural breast augmentation, fat grafting, autologous fat transfer, or breast injections, has become increasingly popular in recent years for women who want a modest increase in breast size without the potential risks and side effects of breast implants. In 2021, over 22,000 breast fat grafting procedures were performed, which is substantially less than the 350,000+ breast implant surgeries. However, interest in natural breast augmentation is increasing each year. Procedure Walkthrough with Capizzi MD: Step 1 – Consultation The first step is the consultation with your physician to determine if fat grafting is the perfect treatment to achieve your goals and to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment. Many patients are great candidates but sometimes interested patients do not have the necessary fat stores to have a great transfer result, at which point your surgeon will recommend breast implants to get the look and feel you are going for. At the consultation appointment, you will also be able to ask all questions you have about the procedure and meet your surgical team!

Breasts that were perky and firm in your twenties rarely ever stay that way due many factors. As you age, your skin loses elasticity and gravity takes its toll. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, large changes in weight, and even exercise can add to sagging and drooping. A breast lift can remove a portion of stretched skin and tissue to restore a forward-pointing, youthful appearance. This procedure is popular with women with any size breasts, as the sagging is typically displayed in nipples pointing away from each other or downward (also called “ptosis”). A Crescent Breast Lift is typically regarded as the least invasive of lifts, as it only has a small, semi-circular scar that lines up with the upper half of the areola. This means it can be a great fit for a patient who only needs a small amount of realignment in their nipples. Different lifts and which one might best fit your needs: Crescent Breast Lift Only effective for smaller breasts with minimal sagging Used to “relocate” the nipple “Donut” or Benelli Breast Lift Only 1 incision made around the nipple Effective with small-medium sized breasts with moderate sagging Optimal for patients with excess skin located around the nipple or with larger areolas Modified or Vertical Breast Lift Requires two incisions, making it less invasive than the Lollipop or Full Lift Optimal for patients with excess skin located horizontally from the nipple Effective... --- - Published: 2023-02-27 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/what-is-double-eyelid-surgery/ Double eyelid surgery or “Asian blepharoplasty” is a procedure that creates a larger, more symmetrical, almond-shaped eye. It removes the double eyelid characteristic of those of Asian descent and creates a new eyelid crease that is customized to patient preference and anatomy. Double eyelid surgery doesn’t affect a patient’s lower lids, but it can be combined with lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to tighten loose skin and erase bags under the eyes. This procedure is sometimes called Asian blepharoplasty because it is particularly popular in patients of Asian descent, particularly East Asian descent. And according to recent data from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic surgery, this helps make eyelid surgery the third most popular type of plastic surgery worldwide.

With rhinoplasty being one of the top five cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States, we see a lot of patients who are interested in this every week. Most patients who are seeking a nose job are concerned that their nose is too big or wide for their face or the tip is too large or maybe there is a hump on the bridge of the nose. All these concerns can be addressed with a rhinoplasty. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is one of the procedural techniques that may be used during a rhinoplasty surgery. Rhinoplasty Surgical Techniques Although many advancements have been in aesthetic surgery, the overall procedure remains the same and patient concerns are usually addressed with the use of hammers and chisels to reduce the size of the bones in the face. Although very effective in the hands of a knowledgeable surgeon, these tools can cause trauma to surrounding nasal structures and tissues. In 2004, an ultrasonic rhinoplasty, aka piezoelectric rhinoplasty, was introduced. This technique uses electricity and high-speed sound waves to vibrate tiny cutting implements that are used to precisely shave, smooth, and reduce nasal bones. Ultrasonic technology has been used in oral surgery for years, so this was just another application of the method. All surgical rhinoplasties are procedures that leave permanent results. Regardless of technique, we advise our patients to be sure they are aware of the realistic potential of... --- - Published: 2023-02-13 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/miradry-hyperhidrosis-awareness/ Are you sweating excessively? Or is sweat harming your confidence in public? If so, you’re not alone. 365 million people worldwide struggle with hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which a person sweats excessively not related to exercise or heat. There are two types of hyperhidrosis: Primary Hyperhidrosis occurs most often in the hands, underarms, and feet. It’s defined as excessive sweating caused by underlying conditions. Secondary Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating all over the body which is caused by an underlying medical condition, heat, or medication. 93% of patients with hyperhidrosis are diagnosed with primary hyperhidrosis. This condition typically starts between 14-25 years of age. Hyperhidrosis is often undiagnosed and undertreated, with many patients waiting 10+ years before seeking treatment. Why wait? Hyperhidrosis impairs daily functions and social interactions such as exercising, working amongst others, personal relationships, and intimacy, at school, and other daily activities. The impacts of hyperhidrosis are widely felt. 90% of hyperhidrosis sufferers claim that excessive sweating affects their emotions, causing them to feel less confident, frustrated, unhappy, or even depressed. Do You... Sweat more than normal? Feel your daily life is disrupted by excessive sweating? Rely on supplies (like t-shirts, absorbent materials, topical products) to cope with sweat? Feel that excessive sweating is affecting your performance at work? Then you may be a good candidate for miraDry, the only FDA-approved treatment for permanent sweat reduction!

With a few subtle changes in aesthetics, nasal reshaping can make huge differences in your appearance. While a surgical procedure is going to provide long-lasting results, we also know that the cost and downtime can be prohibitive. At Capizzi MD, we offer both surgical and non-surgical nose job options for our patients. The Liquid Rhinoplasty Liquid rhinoplasty, or non-surgical rhinoplasty, is the injection of dermal fillers into the nose to alter its shape. This can be a great option for patients interested in immediate results, without the long downtime associated with a traditional rhinoplasty. It can also be a great option for patients who are interested in a very acute correction. Maybe you had a rhinoplasty in the past and still have some irregularities, or maybe you want to see what a rhinoplasty would look like without the commitment. These are great use cases for liquid rhinoplasty. With a liquid rhinoplasty, the results are temporary, as dermal fillers usually last 1-2 years. However, there are no splints, extensive bruising, or restrictions in activity like with a surgical rhinoplasty. The results are immediate and swelling usually subsides in 3-4 days so you can resume your regular routine without interruption. This procedure is a budget-friendly option to surgical rhinoplasty. These procedures take 1-2 syringes of filler, meaning that you don’t need to spend tens of thousands of... --- - Published: 2022-12-08 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/recovery-from-breast-augmentation/ Recovery from a breast augmentation is known for being simple, uncomplicated, and “easier than wisdom teeth. ” Also known as breast enhancement, augmentation mammoplasty, or even “boob job,” this plastic surgery procedure enhances your natural breast size and shape. At Capizzi MD, our surgeons cater to each patient’s ideal goals. They take into account the individual’s wishes, physique, and health history in order to provide a beautiful result with minimal interruption in day-to-day life. Why does each practice have a different recovery protocol? This is one of our most common questions that we get when we are chatting with patients over the phone. And you are correct, each surgeon is going to have a different recovery protocol because of the way that they operate and place implants. Some surgeons will have specific post-operative garments that zip or strap, others will instruct taking a week off of work, some may even ask for you to stay in the hospital overnight. Each practice you talk to will have their own instructions and this is totally normal! At Capizzi MD, our surgeons use specific techniques prior to, during, and after surgery to provide what we call: “Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. ” This is something Dr. Capizzi developed over 20 years. You’ll notice other surgeons have longer recovery timelines than ours - this is fine too! It is simply the difference in experience and skill.

While there are many different facelifts including the mini, the SMAS, and others, the one we want to discuss today is called the “deep plane facelift. ” This facelift is a great option for patients seeking youthful rejuvenation while maintaining a natural appearance. A deep plane facelift addresses signs of aging, like significant sagging, loss of elasticity, and deep wrinkles and folds. These natural effects of aging affect everyone differently, and thus the facelift procedure can be tailored to your specific needs! In general, a facelift involves lifting tissues, tightening the underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and re-draping the remaining skin over the newly tightened foundation. This procedure treats the lower part of the face, the jawline, and sometimes a little bit of the neck to correct concerns in the mid-to-lower part of the face. Just like in other areas of our body, our face is made up of layers. Underneath the top layer of skin lies a layer of fat. Under the fat is the SMAS, or superficial musculoaponeurotic system, which is a sheet of collagen and elastin fibers. These are the fibers responsible for keeping everything “tight. ” What is a Deep Plane Facelift? Just like in other areas of our body, our face is made up of layers.

Breast augmentation today is all about customizing the procedure to your desired look and body type, teardrop, and round implants allow us to customize this procedure even further. Shape Of a Breast Implant There are two general implant shapes: teardrop and round. Teardrop implants have more of a slope and less fullness in the upper part of the implant, to mimic the natural contours of the breast and produce a natural result. All teardrop implants have a textured surface. Round implants provide the upper breast with the most volume and can still yield natural results when paired with the correct implant placement and volume. Smooth, round implants are our most popular implant recommendation due to consistency of results, natural appearance, and low rate of complication. Teardrop and round implants vary beyond just their shape alone. Here are some other areas in which the two kinds of implants differ: Natural Appearance A common reason patients are interested in teardrop implants is the idea that they will look more natural since they are “pre-shaped” to mimic the natural contour of a breast. While this is true, round implants also look natural due to the cohesive gel settling at the bottom of the implant while in an upright position. Round implants, in fact, tend to look... --- - Published: 2022-08-30 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-a-liquid-facelift/ (It’s not surgery! ) If you’re familiar with the world of aesthetics and plastic surgery, you’re probably also familiar with a facelift and what it can achieve. Patients that are concerned with early signs of aging - such as wrinkles and volume loss - may think they could benefit from a facelift down the road... but what if there was a more immediate treatment to combat aging? A “liquid facelift” refers to a combination of injectable procedures that can address some of the issues associated with aging - like a loss of volume or the appearance of wrinkles - without going through invasive surgery or lengthy recovery. Not all liquid facelifts are created equal - and for a good reason! This procedure is customizable to the patient and there is a plethora of combinations available to combat skin and soft tissue issues unique to your face. Am I a good candidate? Ideal patients for a liquid facelift have mild signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, minimal volume loss, or mild crepey skin. Oftentimes this will be a patient in their late-20s to their mid-40s (not always). The ideal patient also does not have excessively sagging skin or lose jowls. An important thing to consider with a liquid facelift is that the treatments require annual maintenance and are designed to give you a boost in volume or smooth out wrinkles. The purpose of a liquid facelift is to provide temporary correction, not a permanent solution.

It turns out, you can! A Vampire Breast Lifts rely on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to create a somewhat fuller, firmer bust non-surgically. That said, a surgical breast lift, aka mastopexy, is the only permanent way to reposition your breasts. This can be done in different ways, using different techniques depending on your needs. The goal of this procedure is to elevate your nipples and areola higher on your breast mound, as well as tighten any loose skin. It is important to note that at Capizzi MD, we do not offer vampire breast lift services. The reason for this is because of the lack of significant data indicating that it provides long-term results and the lack of safety research into the procedure. That said, we like to give prospective patients all the information available to them so they can make the best choice for the surgeon and practice that will help them meet their aesthetic goals. Whom is a candidate for a vampire breast lift? A vampire breast lift may be right for you if you’re looking for a very slight and subtle lift — similar to the amount that a pushup bra can provide — or if you prefer a less-invasive, non-surgical approach to a breast lift. A Vampire breast lift is different from a standard surgical breast lift, meaning the two procedures also produce different outcomes. When opting for the non-surgical route, it’s important to manage expectations.

Desire for a change in shape and size is one of the most popular reasons for having a breast revision. Maybe you had an augmentation before having children and your breasts have changed in shape and size with pregnancy and nursing. Or perhaps you are experiencing some changes in appearance such as rippling, sagging, or rupture, that can sometimes occur with older implants. “Upgrade your implants and fall in love with your breasts all over again. ” - Peter Capizzi, MD A common misconception is that breast implants need to be exchanged every 10 years. The surgeons at Capizzi MD stress that with the advancement in implant technology and continued monitoring, implant revisions do not need to happen on a set timetable and can be up to the discretion of the patient. So, if you are beginning to consider a revision, seek out an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to build a personalized treatment plan with your goals in mind. It is important to remember that additional procedures such as a breast lift or placement of internal mesh may be used in concert with an implant revision to ensure you have the best possible results for years to come. What is a Capsulectomy? A capsulectomy is a procedure that is performed to remove the capsule, or naturally occurring tissue pocket, around an implant.

Are you interested in a facelift, but hesitant to undergo surgery? If you feel like you could benefit from the skin rejuvenation a facelift would offer, but are looking for a nonsurgical option, you may be a good candidate for a PDO Thread Facelift. Here are 10 things that every patient who is interested in facial rejuvenation should know about PDO Thread Lifts: 1. A thread facelift is a great non-surgical alternative to a traditional facelift. A Polydioxanone (PDO) thread facelift is a nonsurgical procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten your skin. The thread lift procedure is less invasive than a standard facelift as it is performed using topical numbing and requires no incisions. 2. Thread facelift results can last for up to 3 years! The PDO threads are absorbed by the body in 4-6 months. As they are absorbed, they stimulate collagen production around the area of insertion. Because thread lifts are low-risk and boast a short recovery time, we recommend patients combine their thread lift with other nonsurgical procedures to create more comprehensive, noticeable results. Once the skin has healed around the threads inserted during a thread injection facelift, we recommend pairing your thread lift with a treatment like microneedling or dermal fillers. This will also make your results last longer, lasting up to 3 years. 3. A PDO thread itself will dissolve over time.

We’ve seen technological advances that increase both safety and patient satisfaction. There have also been dramatic improvements in the stigma associated with plastic surgery. Both men and women are more comfortable with the idea of enhancing their appearance through cosmetic surgery. More comfortability and conversation about plastic surgery has led to many more options for those seeking cosmetic enhancement. The increased popularity of plastic surgery doesn’t necessarily mean easier decision-making, though. There’s no “one size fits all” practice or surgeon - and this is a good thing! Every individual is different, from physical makeup to what they want to achieve with surgery. Breast augmentation can be a life-changing experience with long lasting results, so it’s important to take your time and weigh your options throughout the entire process. A successful procedure can improve self-confidence and make you feel more like yourself. If you’re interested in just exploring the cost, please click here to visit our surgical pricing page.

These wraps and bandages proved to be cumbersome, and in some cases, caused patients even more discomfort. At Capizzi MD, we use specific techniques prior, during, and after surgery to provide what we call: “Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. ” This is something Dr. Capizzi has developed over 20 years. You’ll notice other surgeons have longer recovery timelines than ours. This is fine too! It is simply the difference in experience and skill. When we perform these techniques, our patients notice less swelling and pain, which means they are back to their normal routines sooner. At Capizzi MD, we begin preparing patients for recovery at the pre-operative appointment. This is where you’ll receive your pre-op bag, which contains everything you will need pre- and post-surgery. It includes: Arnika Forte - speed the healing with this all natural supplement designed to ease swelling and bruising Antimicrobial wash - prep your body for surgery by getting rid of any germs and products (also prevents infection! ) Biocorneum - advanced silicone scar gel to reduce redness, texture, and protect incision scars from harmful UV rays Capizzi MD Enhance &... --- - Published: 2022-06-14 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/can-breast-implants-give-me-more-cleavage/ Many patients, when asked why they’re interested in breast implants, say they want more cleavage. The volume, shape, and projection of the upper part of the breast - known as the “upper pole” - can be improved with a breast augmentation. When this is the goal and patients have found the perfect surgeon, they will notice that having more fullness in the upper pole can improve the perkiness of the breast AND provide more cleavage. Read on to learn more about how surgeons can create cleavage and how to maintain cleavage and results for longer. Go Gummy: Breast Augmentation to Improve Cleavage The most obvious way to improve your cleavage is to increase breast size. Oftentimes a High Profile implant is recommended as it provides the most projection, which can contribute to upper pole fullness. There are some differences between implants that are often used by surgeons. Silicone and saline refer to what an implant is filler with. Silicone implants are filled with - you guessed it - silicone! The silicone implants we use at Capizzi MD are called “gummy bear” implants. This means that if you cut the implant in half, the silicone gel would stay in place like the inside of a gummy bear candy would. Gummy Bear implants are the newest type of silicone breast implants on the market. This superior fifth-generation gel implant is well known for its cohesion, shape, and supple texture that mimics the natural contour and feel of the breast.

With no additional pregnancies planned and nursing days (and nights) behind them, many Charlotte moms seek to restore and even improve upon their pre-pregnancy shape. This speaks to the popularity of the Mommy Makeover, an expertise of Dr. Capizzi’s. For the uninitiated, Mommy Makeover is a combination of surgeries, unique to every patient. A Mommy Makeover may include breast lift, breast augmentation and tummy tuck. Today, Dr. Capizzi counsels patients on the merits of liposuction and even CoolSculpting before tummy tuck is considered. At Capizzi MD, we’re all about customizing solutions. But we digress! The subject of today’s blog is women considering breast implant surgery NOW, who fully expect to have children in the future. They come to Dr. Capizzi with two big questions. Maybe they’re on your list too. #1 “I Hope to be a mom in the future. Can I proceed with Breast Implant Surgery before I have children? ” Absolutely, yes. Breast implant surgery is not incompatible with pregnancy. What’s important to remember is your breasts are always changing. Pregnancy and nursing effect breast shape – with or without implants – as do weight fluctuations, medical history and the collective effect of gravity over time. Just one caveat from Dr. Capizzi. He advises that if you are actively trying to get pregnant or will be breastfeeding within the next year, waiting is the best option. #2 “If I have Breast Implant... --- - Published: 2022-05-17 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/7-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-halo-laser-treatment/ The HALO Laser is an amazing treatment that can address many skin concerns without the disadvantage of extended recovery time.

HALO is the first hybrid fractional laser that treats all layers of your skin HALO is a hybrid fractional laser that uses two distinct wavelengths, ablative and non-ablative, to treat both your epidermis (top layer of skin) and your dermis (thicker layer of tissue under the surface) at the same time. 2.

Tummy tucks are popular with patients seeking a Mommy Makeover, but childbirth isn’t a requirement to be a good candidate for the procedure. Body types and target areas for improvement vary from patient to patient. Good candidates for a tummy tuck include those who have had significant weight loss, pregnancies, previous stomach surgeries that need correction, or those who are experiencing the natural effects of gravity and aging on the body. These factors affect each body differently, so it makes sense that there should be different types of tummy tucks! Each type is designed to effectively address specific issues while ultimately producing the desired contour. Your surgeon will recommend one of five types of tummy tucks: endoscopic, mini, moderate, standard (full), or circumferential. Mini and standard tummy tucks are popular at Capizzi MD as they address the majority of patient concerns. Tummy tucks are often accompanied by liposuction in the back, waist, thighs or buttocks area for a more complete body contouring experience. Your surgeon will discuss your ideal procedure at length during your initial consultation.

The ERAS program encourages an accelerated, more comfortable recovery process. Dr. Capizzi began developing this recovery program 20 years ago. 10,000 breast implants (and other procedures) later, he has a specific set of techniques prior, during, and after surgery to achieve an enhanced recovery. It includes phenomenal products for improving swelling, skin texture, and appearance of scars, and the lymphatic massage. Therapeutic ultrasounds have been in use for quite some time now and have been studied extensively for alleviation of chronic pain. Dr. Capizzi has found that the same therapy can also assist in a speedier recovery after surgery. After all, it is natural to experience swelling after any sort of surgery. Unfortunately, swelling and soreness from surgery can make patients’ recovery more uncomfortable than necessary. To ease this discomfort, every surgical procedure includes a lymphatic massage with one of our Licensed Medical Aestheticians! The Treatment Your lymphatic massage will take place at your first follow up, usually a few days after surgery. Your aesthetician will start by removing your incision tape and any left over gauze. They will then prepare the area with an antibacterial cleanser. Once prepped, they begin the treatment by applying a moisturizer developed by Dr. Capizzi.

While we love a multi-step skincare routine, it can be more beneficial to pair products with a treatment. Laser treatments like MicroLaser Peel and BBL are effective in targeting specific concerns like rosacea or sun spots, but how do you know which one will produce the best results for YOUR skin? The best way to know your best option is to request a complimentary skincare consultation with one of our Licensed Medical Aestheticians! Everyone’s skin is different. Everyone’s needs are different.

You may hear the word “blepharoplasty” and never assume it refers to removing excess skin on the upper eyelid (that contributes to the “hooded” look). Liposuction, though, is almost always recognized. But what about techniques like UAL and PAL? Liposuction is the process of suctioning excess fat tissue through a thin metal tube known as a cannula. Incisions are minimal and virtually invisible after the healing period. UAL and PAL are two different methods of fat removal. PAL refers to Power-Assisted Liposuction, while UAL refers to Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction. What is PAL Liposuction? With Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL), the “power” lies in the cannula. The cannula utilizes rapid vibrations to break up fat cells before suction. This allows for a smooth contour and removes fat at a faster rate. This method is ideal for patients with large amounts of fat because it is more effective for complete removal. What is UAL Liposuction? Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction (UAL) uses ultrasound energy instead of vibration to emulsify, or melt, fat cells. This method specifically targets fat cells. The ultrasound energy liquifies all the fat cells evenly and allows for comprehensive and smooth fat reduction. At Capizzi MD, we use the top-of-the-line Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction known as VASER. VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. This sounds very fancy and technical - it refers to the ultrasound waves! VASER liposuction stimulates more skin-tightening and addresses concerns with cellulite and sagging skin.... --- - Published: 2021-12-21 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/breast-reduction-insurance-vs-cosmetic-surgery/ A breast reduction can be life-changing, alleviating years of physical pain and strain on the neck, back, shoulders, legs, and even hips. Many women suffer from having large breasts and this procedure is a viable solution. This procedure can also remedy fatigue and self-consciousness associated with large breasts. With these medical benefits in mind, it seems as though insurance should cover the procedure - but this isn’t always the case. How can insurance cover your breast reduction? Some health insurance plans cover breast reduction surgeries. But there’s a catch - the procedure has to be a “medical necessity” or it is considered a cosmetic procedure and will not be covered by health insurance. What is a “medically necessary” breast reduction? In order to have your breast reduction deemed medically necessary by your insurance provider, you must provide adequate documentation reflecting a negative quality of life due to breast size/weight. This distinction can be made by your primary care provider, chiropractor, physical therapist, etc. So you’ve gotten the necessary proof required to go through your insurance provider. You're covered, right? Not quite. Even if you get your surgery approved by your insurance, you may still have to cover part of the procedure out-of-pocket due to limits of your specific coverage. Is a breast reduction worth it? According to RealSelf, 97% of patients who have undergone breast reduction surgery say it was worth it... but your satisfaction with your results largely depends on both the surgeon AND the individual. When going through... --- - Published: 2021-11-02 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/breast-augmentation-without-implants/ When patients decide they’re interested in a breast augmentation, they begin to research the different sizes, procedures, and implants. The most popular type of augmentation is the placement of silicone breast implants. But what about an augmentation WITHOUT implants? A breast augmentation without implants refers to fat grafting or fat enhancement injections. In this procedure, fat removed from stubborn areas - such as the thighs, abdomen, or buttocks - gets injected to the chest. What’s the difference? With fat grafting, Dr. Capizzi uses the patient’s own tissue instead of a silicone or saline breast implant. Liposuction harvests fat cells from another part of the patient’s body in a way that preserves the body’s natural proportions and symmetry. This technique has a rapid recovery and minimal pain. With implants, the patient will have two small scars from the incisions. In this case, there are no incisions. A breast augmentation using fat grafting produces natural results with a small increase in breast size. This procedure is ideal for patients seeking an increase in breast size by about one cup size. The complication rate for breast augmentations without implants is low. This is because without implants, there is no chance for rupture. The breasts will look and feel natural, and the procedure has a good safety record. Is there a downside? While fat grafting to the breasts has advantages like the removal of fat from stubborn areas and a low complication rate, there are a few disadvantages: Unpredictable results: There is no standard... --- - Published: 2021-11-01 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/capsular-contracture-what-is-it-and-why-does-it-happen/ Capsular contracture is a condition often mentioned when discussing breast augmentations. A “capsule” refers to the formation of scar tissue around any kind of implant - not breast implants alone. This is a normal part of the healing process. Our bodies react to any foreign object detected and attempt to “isolate” the object by creating a barrier of scar tissue around it. For breast implants, this is a good thing! The capsule helps to keep the implant in place. Capsules only present an issue when the scar tissue becomes hard and starts to contract around the implant. Why does capsular contracture happen? We all know that every person’s body is different. You’ve heard the saying “beauty comes in all shapes and sizes”, right? It’s a true statement, but our differences aren’t only surface level. Each body is different all the way down to our connective tissues - which means that each individual patient has a unique healing process! Some people develop thick scars after minor injuries. Some women develop stretch marks during their pregnancy, some do not. All immune systems respond in a different way to different stimuli. Capsular contracture usually occurs during the healing process. 75% of cases occur during the first 2 years after the placement of the implants. This is not to say that the condition can’t occur later, but late-onset capsular contracture is very rare and is generally due to a ruptured implant. Like any other medical condition, capsular contracture ranges in severity. Levels of Capsular... --- - Published: 2021-10-07 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/which-breast-augmentation-is-best/ Choosing the Best Breast Augmentation A breast augmentation is very beneficial in addressing a lack of breast volume, but there are many ways to get there! Most people are familiar with breast implants – whether they’re silicone, saline, round, or teardrop – but what about other options? Breast Augmentation without Implants – What is fat grafting? Fat grafting is a subtle, less invasive approach for adding breast volume. This approach requires tiny, virtually invisible incisions. First, Dr. Capizzi removes fat from one part of the body using liposuction. Then he purifies the fat to improve the result and minimize risk of complication. Finally, he expertly adds it to the chest – creating a fuller, more youthful look with no scarring. Fat grafting is a win-win as it improves the contour of stubborn areas, like the thighs or abdomen, as well as the volume of the breast area. This approach is great for women over 30 who are experiencing sagging, or who may have had more than one pregnancy. Looking to increase your breast volume without an implant? Fat grafting may be for you! This procedure can add to a breast lift, revision, or standard breast augmentation using implants. It is an amazing option for patients looking for no incisions, rapid recovery, and minimal pain. Things to consider when thinking of fat grafting: Fat grafting is a great option for people with excess tissue in other areas of the body. You may not be a good candidate if you are on... --- - Published: 2021-09-13 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/the-internal-bra-enhancing-support-for-breast-implants/ Many factors go into a patients’ decision to have a breast augmentation. The most common issue plaguing patients is a general lack of breast volume, which can be from many things! Some patients have had children and breastfed, some have undergone dramatic weight loss, and some feel that they never had much volume to begin with. A breast augmentation serves as the perfect solution for a lack of breast volume, regardless of the cause, but there’s one drawback – with a dramatic loss of volume, the breast tissue becomes thinner and weaker. Our soft tissue ages and produces less collagen and elastin over time, like the skin on our face and neck. We can address lack of collagen in our face and neck with various cosmetic solutions, from Botox to skincare containing retinols. Unfortunately, we can’t use these same solutions for breast tissue. This raises the question: how will my body be able to support implants? Introducing Galaflex the Internal Bra! Galaflex is a biologically-derived mesh for plastic and reconstructive surgery designed to support, elevate, and reinforce soft tissue. This mesh works like an internal bra by supporting weak areas that need reinforcement to achieve the desired surgical outcome. Over the course of a year, Galaflex encourages growth of strong connective tissue and transfers weight to the new tissue. How does Galaflex do this? The Galaflex mesh design is a knit pattern that adheres to the existing soft tissue and encourages new collagen production. The new tissue formed is movable,... --- - Published: 2021-07-21 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/plastic-surgery-tourism-not-always-a-good-deal/ Plastic surgery tourism describes patients who seek medical care abroad for medical procedures. Plastic and cosmetic surgery sees a high rate of this as these procedures can have a much cheaper price tag in other countries. However, in many cases you get what you pay for and these procedures see a higher complication rate and re-operation once the patients return home. To understand how these experiences go wrong, let’s dive deeper into plastic surgery tourism as a whole. What drives plastic surgery tourism? Of course, each individual that seeks cosmetic procedures in another country has their own reasoning for doing so, but because this phenomenon is gaining popularity, we’re able to pinpoint a few of the most common motives. These include: Affordability Greater patient savings Availability Anonymity/privacy Lack of health insurance coverage in home country These motives are understandable! Cosmetic surgery as a whole continues to grow, so it’s no surprise that patient interest and cost of care follow suit. Unfortunately, these motives have drawbacks: Unfamiliarity with non-native country. This includes factors such as language barriers, overnight stay, transportation to and from surgery, and lack of post-operative care. Financial cost Discouragement by family physicians and lack of confidence in the healthcare systems abroad Feeling too ill to travel post-procedure (international flights are a long haul! ) A large amount of plastic surgery tourism happens without referral from a doctor in the patient’s home country, and without prior consultation from public health officials. In short: the patient makes the decision to... --- > What is a mommy makeover? Learn common procedure combinations, benefits, and how to plan your next step.

Being a mom is also hard work – there’s the lack of sleep, the work-life balance, and of course hands-on care and development. All of these factors combined (and more) take a steep toll on a woman’s body. Motherhood is Selfless Despite a rigorous diet and exercise plan, mothers are often dissatisfied with the way pregnancy, breastfeeding, and everyday life affect their appearances. This raises the question: “how can I get my pre-baby body back? ” The “Mommy Makeover” is the most effective solution for restoring confidence in one’s image postpartum. Moms: you have been through and accomplished so much throughout your maternal journey – it’s time to do something for yourselves! Through removing excess fat, toning and firming loose skin, and improving the overall shape of the breasts, a Mommy Makeover results in a redefined chest, hips, belly, legs, and buttocks. What is a Mommy Makeover? A customizable combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures that address multiple areas to achieve common goals for a postpartum woman. Popular procedures include: Breast augmentation: To enhance breast volume Breast lift: To realign nipples and remedy sagging Tummy tuck: To repair diastasis recti and remove excess tissue --- - Published: 2021-05-24 - Modified: 2026-02-12 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/diva-laser-vaginal-therapy/ It’s no secret that our bodies go through changes as we age. For women, our bodies experience the effects of aging in many different areas and we address most of these – we add a retinol to our skincare routine, we do preventive Botox®, we get our bodies lifted, tucked, and sculpted. But what about the INSIDE of our bodies? Over time, women experience many vaginal issues that are not only completely normal, but also extremely common. Our vaginal health can be affected by childbirth, breastfeeding, menopause, weight fluctuations, and natural aging. Some effects include: Dryness Thinning or inflammation of the vaginal walls Stress incontinence and urinary leakage Discomfort during intercourse Loss of sensation or decreased sexual desire These issues affect our overall well-being and daily life, but they don’t have to. We get facials and other treatments to rejuvenate our bodies on the outside – now we can extend the same care to the inside of our bodies through diVa® Laser Vaginal Therapy! What does a diVa® treatment look like? diVa® Laser Vaginal Therapy addresses common vaginal issues non-surgically with a laser treatment. The device uses Hybrid Laser Technology to treat the vaginal tissue in two ways: The first laser deeply resurfaces the vaginal walls to create brand new, healthy tissue. The second laser uses heat to stimulate growth of collagen, which tightens the tissue. The deep resurfacing of the vaginal walls aids in the formation of new blood vessels, which brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin.... --- - Published: 2021-04-26 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/the-benelli-breast-lift-aka-the-mini-lift/ What is it and why was this recommended to me? The Benelli Breast Lift (a. k. a. Mini lift, Tacking, Donut Mastopexy) is one of the most common breast augmentation add-ons that we see at Capizzi MD Cosmetic Surgery & Med Spa. The name comes from Dr. Louis Benelli, an Italian Plastic Surgeon that pioneered a breast lift with minimal incisions disguised around the areola. First, let’s talk about our nipple complex, which includes both the nipple and the areola. An areola is the pigmented area around the nipple that can change size and shape over the course of our lives. Usually this is seen with hormonal changes such as pregnancy but can also be seen with weight gain or weight loss. A Benelli lift only affects the areola, and not the nipple itself. Oftentimes when a patient inquires about a breast augmentation for improving volume with the placement of breast implants, there may be more services required to achieve their ideal results. This procedure is Dr. Capizzi’s go-to for slightly relaxed skin when he is also placing breast implants. Most often, this is where a Mini Lift is used: To reduce the size of the areola so that the addition of volume does not also emphasize the size of the areola. The last thing a patient desires is an areola that is hanging off of a perky implant. To realign an areola to be pointing straight ahead. This applies when a nipple may be slightly off center. Small amount... --- - Published: 2021-02-22 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/is-vaser-lipo-better-than-traditional-liposuction/ Liposuction is often used as a catch-all term to mean general fat removal. However, not all liposuction methods are the same. Continue reading to learn the differences between ultrasonic (Vaser) and power-assisted (traditional) lipo that we offer at Capizzi MD Cosmetic Surgery. Firstly, there are a lot of similarities between the two procedures. They are both liposuction techniques, using similar methodology to complete fat removal for patients. They are always completed under general anesthesia in our accredited surgery center. As an outpatient surgery, our patients are able to return home same-day to rest and recuperate in the comfort of their own home. Okay, so what is traditional liposuction? There are several different methods such as water, laser, power, or suction-assisted but they all operate in essentially the same way. A small metal tube, called a cannula, is inserted into the treatment area and the fat cells are broken apart and sucked out. Upon awakening, the patient will wear a compression garment to assist in the healing process and develop better results. What makes Vaser Lipo different? “Vaser” is an acronym meaning Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy Resonance, which translates to one of the best ultrasonic liposuction systems available. Ultrasound uses sound waves to break apart fat cells. This unique technique targets fat cells only, meaning it can be used to contour a six-pack if desired. How does Vaser perform better than traditional liposuction? Precision Specific, detailed removal of fat deposits leading to better contouring results. It is especially effective in... --- - Published: 2021-02-15 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/russian-doll-lip-filler/ The Russian Doll Lip filler technique is all the buzz in the aesthetics world right now. Are you wondering if this technique is what’s best for you and your desired lip goals? Have you been watching TikToks of this hottest new injection trend? We are here to break it down for you! Russian Doll Lip filler is a specific injection technique that shapes the lips into a subtle heart shape (like a Russian doll). It provides lift to the shape of the lip rather than add excessive volume. It’s ideal for patients seeking a natural-appearing lip enhancement. You’ll also notice that the results have a flatter appearance as height is the goal over plumpness (although you can get both if you want). This is an advanced technique so before we go any further, make sure you have a trustworthy injector that boasts lots of great results with this technique. How is the Russian doll lip technique different? During traditional lip filler, you’ll notice that the injector starts injecting filler at the border of the lip and moves the product inward. When using the Russian doll technique, the injector will inject filler vertically beginning at the base of the lip and drawing the product outward toward the lip border. Does the Russian technique cause more bruising or swelling? No! The bruising/swelling will be no different than normal filler. As always, choose a reputable injector that you trust. How long does this filler technique take? 30-45 minutes with prep time. We apply... --- - Published: 2021-01-28 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/labiaplasty-procedure-everything-you-need-to-know/ The Labiaplasty procedure has become a more popular procedure worldwide, as more and more women begin to explore vaginal rejuvenation. It is a very common procedure at Capizzi MD! The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that around 10,000 labiaplasty procedures are completed each year. What is a labiaplasty? A labiaplasty procedure is cosmetic surgery that modifies the labia minor (inner lips) and/or the labia major (outer lips). Most often, it is performed on the labia minora. Also known as a labia minora reduction. Why a labiaplasty? Many reasons! The most common being: to increase comfort while wearing tight clothes (or bathing suits). When the inner labia are longer than the outer labia, it can make wearing these styles of clothing more uncomfortable or even impossible. Another common reason for a labiaplasty is to improve appearance. Sometimes the labia is naturally longer on some women, and sometimes the appearance changes with childbirth or aging. Do I need to go under general anesthesia? No, you do not. At Capizzi MD, we are one of the only board-certified plastic surgery centers offering a labiaplasty under local anesthesia/numbing. Dr. Peter Capizzi has been performing these procedures for over 20 years and has assisted hundreds of patients with this process. To improve the experience, we have a fully-accredited surgery suite located in our Charlotte office, where all our labiaplasty procedures are performed.

Follow The Aftercare If you just do one thing, do this one! Your injector should give you specific aftercare advice that typically is really simple: Drink plenty of water, ice as needed, and avoid alcohol for 24 hours. These will reduce the chance of any swelling or bruising. If you get any injectables at Capizzi MD, check your email inbox for helpful aftercare reminders after your appointment. 2. SPF I know that we all TRY to wear sunscreen but is it part of your normal routine? Facial skin is thin and delicate, making it particularly susceptible to strong UV rays on summer days. Drying out and burning of the skin can sap the hyaluronic acid in our skin and, you guessed it, in our filler. Extend your filler results by adding a light sunscreen to your morning routine. We love this Alastin Hydratint: Blends easily, non-greasy, and a tube will last you forever. 3. Eat Well and Drink Water The more we can stay away from sugar, the better for our fillers. Sugar binds to collagen and elastin and interferes with our ability to keep skin clear and hydrated. It also contributes to inflammation in our body and skin, which can cause fillers to break down more quickly. Cutting down on caffeine and dairy also help to curb inflammation and promote good hydration within our bodies. 4.

Breast Augmentation Do you want bigger breasts? Then a breast augmentation with breast implants is likely the procedure for you.

While it is a subject that is getting a lot of attention, it is also a very sensitive one. It can be overwhelming to think of the options available, and difficult to figure out which cream, laser, or surgical procedure could be right for you. Capizzi MD Cosmetic Surgery and Skincare is here to discuss our most popular options, and help you choose the right procedure for your needs. What is Vaginal Rejuvenation? It is a term to explain a non-surgical treatment that improves vaginal health. At Capizzi MD we offer diVa Laser Vaginal Therapy which is a top-rated treatment because of its safety and effectiveness. This is a non-hormonal, non-surgical treatment ideal for concerns caused by breast cancer, hysterectomy, childbirth, or menopause.

That said, their presence in cosmetic surgery is fairly new. It is anticipated that later this year the FDA will recommend that women with breast implants begin scheduling a breast implant ultrasounds every 5 years post-operatively, and then continue to have those scans every 2 years to monitor the health of their implants. A breast ultrasound can help a physician determine if an implant is intact or if it has ruptured, it can also help to determine what type of implant is present if a patient isn’t sure. At Capizzi MD, we also use the ultrasound device to help monitor breast implant health while a patient is healing to detect any complications at an early stage. Normally, an implant ultrasound would have to be scheduled at an imaging center. This seemed like an unnecessary hurdle for our patients to maintain the health of their breast implants. This is why we have started offering breast implant ultrasound at our office, under the care of Dr. Peter J. Capizzi, double board-certified plastic surgeon.

Or the soft, full mouth of Scarlett Johansson. But even if you’re not red-carpet status, you can still have that red-carpet look. It’s as simple as a lip flip or a lip filler. We offer both of these non-surgical injections from the comfort of Capizzi, M. D. , so you can enhance the look you have with fuller, poutier lips that let you look — and feel -— like a celebrity. Considering a flip or filler before your next big event, or just to freshen up your everyday appearance? Take a look at the pros and cons of each, so you can choose what’s best for your goals. Lip Flip A lip flip allows the upper part of your lip to relax and flip outward, creating the appearance of fuller lips. We make the lip flip happen with an injection of 4-6 units of Botox® to the upper lip. Botox® is made from Botulinum Toxin, a substance that partially paralyzes the facial muscles that create undesirable lines such as the creases between your eyebrows, crow’s feet or lines across the forehead. Botox® injections create temporary smoothness to let your face radiate with a more youthful look. The treatment can also be used to treat TMJ or combat excessive sweating in the underarms, feet or hands.

Have you considered the possibility of a life without these time drains? We have at Capizzi, M. D. That’s why we offer non-surgical laser hair removal, so you never need to shave, tweeze or wax those areas again. But we also understand that, with great change, comes a little bit of hesitation. So check out these five signs that you’re ready to try non-surgical hair removal. Sound familiar? 1) Your excess hair is causing you stress.

Approximately 10% of all plastic surgery procedures these days are for male patients. More and more men are turning to plastic surgeons and their teams to help reshape and reform their bodies and lifestyles to be as healthy as they can be. Examples of this are seen below with the top 5 surgical and non-surgical treatments for men in 2017, according to a study from ASAPS, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Top 5 Surgical Procedures for Men: 1. Liposuction Liposuction is one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery to shape almost any area holding excessive fat. Liposuction can help slim the neck, the lower back and belly, and even the arms and thighs. This procedure is performed in our outpatient surgery suite located at Capizzi, MD. Patients benefit from minimal scarring and downtime. Most are able to return to work and normal physical activity within a few days. Results develop over the first several weeks after your procedure as your body acclimates to your new physique. 2. Blepharoplasty We can rejuvenate and brighten your eyes by removing excess skin and soft tissue with an eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty. The procedure takes just 45 minutes and is performed using local anesthesia. You’ll look years younger instantly, with minimal “social down time” of 3 days. 3.

Men don’t want to look old, tired, or out of shape and often feel helpless when the first signs of aging appear. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), liposuction, male breast reduction, and abdominoplasty have all seen significant rises in popularity over the past 5 years. Despite these increases in popularity, men still do not discuss cosmetic surgery as openly as women do. Thus, it is more difficult finding the information they need to make educated and confident decisions. Dr. Peter Capizzi, a trusted board-certified plastic surgeon, has helped thousands of men look and feel more confident. Here are some tips he has to offer men seeking cosmetic surgery: 1. Do Your Homework When looking for the right surgeon, it’s important to consider more than just the procedure. Research the surgeon and learn more about their specialties, what do they excel in, and are they board-certified? A board-certified surgeon will have undergone extensive training and will continue to meet strict education standards to maintain certification. Also, think about the specialty of the surgeon you are considering. Are you seeking an abdominoplasty? Looking for a surgeon who specializes in body contouring would yield better results 2. Choose an Experienced Plastic Surgeon for Men The surgeon you work with should have years of experience with the procedure you’re interested in. The more experience means... --- - Published: 2019-04-23 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/cosmetic-procedures-to-get-a-summer-body/ With spring in full swing and summer fast approaching, that means that our well-awaited beach time is just around the corner! Along with that are sunnier skies, longer days, and hopefully some time for a summer vacation. No more hiding under layers of clothing, which can be a little daunting this time of year. While some cosmetic procedures require more downtime than others, there are plenty of great options to get your summer body ready just in time for swimsuit season! Facial Cosmetic Procedures Summer isn’t a great time for skin resurfacing with lasers or peels due to heightened sun sensitivity following the procedure. However, springtime can be a great time to rejuvenate your face before the sun is all the way out! These facial cosmetic procedures require a little downtime but stimulate collagen and elastin in your dermis, smoothing those fine lines and erasing scars along the way. Other great options that have virtually no downtime would be Botox or dermal fillers to improve wrinkles and plump it up! Ask us about new injectables like Kybella, that melt neck fat in as little as one appointment. Body Cosmetic Procedures One of the newest cosmetic procedures that has virtually no downtime is miraDry, the only FDA-cleared device that permanently reduces unwanted sweat, odor, and hair in as little as one session. So if you were considering laser hair removal, but also face challenges of sweat and odor, miraDry might be the perfect option for you.

D. believes that this topic is one that need to be discussed. We have gathered and organized some of our most frequently asked questions around this topic so that you may have the most accurate information surrounding breast implant safety. What is Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma? Also called BIA-ALCL, Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma is a type of cancer of the immune system found in the scar tissue and fluid surrounding an implant. BIA-ALCL is not a breast cancer. Is BIA-ALCL a type of breast cancer? BIA-ALCL is NOT a breast cancer. Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer of the cells of the immune system. It can develop in many areas of the body, including the lymph nodes and skin. BIA-ALCL is a type of lymphoma that can occur with many medical devices including textured breast implants. Although found in the breast, it is not a breast cancer. What are symptoms of BIA-ALCL? Symptoms of the disease include persistent swelling and pain around the breast implant. They may occur long after the surgery has been completed, often years after placement.

It’s an unavoidable, biological fact that happens to all of us. However, this fact of life can be embarrassing and burdensome at times. If you are experiencing excessive sweating occurrences that cause embarrassing situations, stained clothing, or frequent antiperspirant application, you may be a candidate for MiraDry®. How Does it work? MiraDry® is an FDA-approved, non-invasive technology used to treat hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. Whether you have an actual diagnosis of “axillary hyperhidrosis” or you feel that the amount of underarm sweat produced by your body is excessive, a miraDry® procedure will permanently reduce, and in most cases eliminate, sweating in that area in just one treatment. Sometimes an additional treatment is needed, and during your consultation your provider will be able to recommend the best number of treatments to achieve your goals. MiraDry® uses thermal energy to safely eliminate the sweat and odor glands that contribute to underarm sweat and odor. This treatment can only be used on the underarm area. What to Expect During Your Procedure At Capizzi, M. D. , a miraDry® treatment will take place in one short hour. Your underarm will be numbed with local anesthesia and a temporary tattoo will be applied to your underarm that will inform your provider where to place the handpiece. When the handpiece is placed on your skin and activated, you will feel a slight suction that brings the glands closer to the surface of the skin for best treatment results. Then, thermal energy is delivered... --- - Published: 2019-03-19 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/new-breast-enlargement-innovation/ The Hybrid Breast Augmentation When considering having a breast enlargement or similar cosmetic procedure, you’ll want to know what the latest and greatest techniques and advancements are before you schedule a consultation.

Better Breast Implants As an FDA co-investigator for Sientra, and with almost 20 years of experience in the field, Dr. Peter Capizzi, M. D. has placed over 7,000 Gummy Bear breast implants. These Gummy Bear implants are a 5th generation gel breast implant made of a highly cohesive silicone. They are approved by the FDA and are the safest implant to use during a breast enlargement or similar procedure. In addition to being the safest, they are backed by a lifetime warranty in the case that one were to fail. When compared to other silicone and saline implants, the Gummy Bear maintains its shape more faithfully over time and with over 100 shapes & sizes to choose from, it offers patients a more natural-looking outcome. Hybrid Breast Augmentation The latest innovative procedure at Capizzi, M. D. is the hybrid breast augmentation. This technique delivers a more natural looking result through the use of a smaller implant in addition to fat grafting in the top of the breast. Advantages include fat reduction from problematic areas and by using a smaller implant there is less stretch and pull on the tissues that assist in keeping it in place.... --- - Published: 2019-02-19 - Modified: 2025-12-24 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/what-is-a-mommy-makeover/ The mommy makeover is ideal for bringing a post-baby body back to its pre-pregnancy shape.

Vaginal rejuvenation has become a popular topic of discussion for women who are interested in addressing a number of concerns that accompany the natural aging process or after having children. If you are experiencing symptoms such as: vaginal dryness, reduced sensation, painful intercourse, issues with the appearance of the labia, or stress incontinence, vaginal rejuvenation may be a great option for you. The process of vaginal rejuvenation takes many forms and can include labiaplasty and/or laser treatment options.

Many people choose laser hair removal to reduce their unwanted body hair. It is known to be very successful and requires only a few treatments in order for you to live a hair-free life. This treatment is a great alternative to waxing or sugaring and can be performed on many areas of the body including: underarms, back, arms, legs, brazilian, buttocks, and chest. Laser hair removal is a cost-effective solution for those who take a monthly trip to get a brazilian wax, and don’t have the side effects of waxing such as ingrown hairs, redness, irritation, and possible allergic reaction. Here are 10 things you should know about laser hair removal 1) How Laser Hair Removal works The laser is set to your specific skin tone and hair color. The laser light damages the hair follicle and prevents it from growing back. Only 30% of your hair is in the proper growth cycle at the time of treatment, which is why multiple treatments are the key to seeing lasting results. After your first treatment, expect the follicles to fall out after approximately 8-12 days and your skin will be smooth for 2-3 weeks. 2) You will need multiple treatments to see results Most areas require at least 5 treatments, but almost always less than 8 treatments for successful hair reduction.

Since one of the main goals of a breast augmentation is to enhance breast volume, it is important for you to be able to look at the different options available. Choosing the perfect implants sounds like a pretty straightforward process but with all the different profiles, sizes, and materials available it can actually be a lot more involved than you might think it to be. 3D imaging services help plastic surgeons at Capizzi, M. D. show you exactly what certain implants look like on your body. In addition, your board-certified plastic surgeon can help assist you in making the best decisions based upon your needs and goals. How Does 3D Imaging work? First, the imaging device takes a lot of picture of your body from different angles. It then uses those pictures to create a digital representation of your body. Using 3D imaging software and the model of your body, you can discuss different options with your plastic surgeon and then “try on” those options to see which implants suit your frame best. Choosing The Perfect Breast Implants Size To begin choosing your perfect breast implants, you will likely think about your desired size before your consultation appointment. When thinking about what size you want, think about your breast augmentation goals: Do you want to fit into clothes better? Do you want more cleavage? Do you want to have a natural look?

Thanks to increased social awareness and an emphasis on screening and self-examination, breast cancer diagnoses are being made at earlier stages of the disease. This early detection can mean improved survival rates for patients and a variety of choices for reconstructive surgery treatment options. It is important for every woman to have a clear idea of what exactly her diagnosis means and what the treatment options are. Each hospital and healthcare clinic will have a unique team of doctors, nurses, genetic counsellors, and social workers working together to provide you with this information. A surgical specialist (Breast Surgeon, Surgical Oncologist, or General Surgeon) will often be involved to discuss how to biopsy and remove the breast cancer, while a Medical Oncologist and Radiation Oncologist may be involved to discuss specific chemotherapy or radiation therapy treatments for your particular cancer. In addition, a Plastic Surgeon will be involved to discuss and perform breast reconstruction surgery after the cancer has been removed. What Are My Reconstruction Options? You and your Breast Surgery specialist will decide which option is best to remove your breast cancer and prevent its recurrence. Options can include Breast Conservation Surgery (a. k. a. lumpectomy), Mastectomy (removal of the breast tissue and possibly the overlying skin or nipple and areola), or Oncoplastic Breast Surgery (removal of the tumor with a Plastic Surgeon performing a simultaneous breast reduction or breast lift procedure).

What doctor will you use? What are the best treatment options? What type of surgery is needed to remove the cancer? Then, after getting through all of those hurdles, there’s the difficult decision of deciding whether or not to get post-mastectomy reconstructive surgery — and if you decide to do so, when is the best time to have it done? We spoke to some of the city’s leading plastic surgeons to get their expert opinions on the pros and cons of having reconstructive surgery as well as the best time to have it done. Risks/Benefits Of Reconstructive Surgery While there are always some risks involved with any type of surgery, it turns out that there aren’t any added health risks involved with getting reconstructive surgery after a mastectomy and that having the surgery can actually be extremely beneficial for a patient’s overall well-being. “Many studies show that women who have breast reconstruction have bolstered self-esteem, improved activity levels, increased satisfaction with sexual activity, and an overall higher quality of life,” says, Dr. Peter Capizzi. Echoing Dr. Capizzi, Dr. Garrett Harper of Graper Cosmetic Surgery and Laser also says that the positive effects a patient will experience after surgery will make such an impact that “unless there is some reason that you are not a great candidate, I can’t think of any reason every woman shouldn’t strongly consider breast reconstruction. ”... --- - Published: 2018-08-28 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/active-augmented-and-back-in-action/ With an increased popularity of health and fitness over the past few decades, women are striving to create the best version of themselves from the inside out. As a plastic surgeon, I have made it my mission to provide the best possible patient care and patient experience from the moment they walk through my door, all the way through their last follow-up visit. With an increased popularity of health and fitness over the past few decades, women are striving to create the best version of themselves from the inside out. More than ever, women are leading a more active lifestyle outside of their work and home environments to help them look and feel their very best. As a plastic surgeon, I have made it my mission to provide the best possible patient care and patient experience from the moment they walk through my door, all the way through their last follow-up visit. For the past 20 years I have strived to provide a consistent breast implant procedure coupled with an early engaged post-op regimen that enhances recovery, leaving the patient happy, healthy, and back to their normal routine. Whether it’s at-home cardio amateurs or international weight-lifting professionals, I have seen an increase in the number of active patients walk through my door looking to achieve the best version of themselves. When it comes to procedures, breast augmentation coupled with the use of highly cohesive silicone gel implants (“Gummy Bear Implants”), is consistently less than one hour. By limiting procedure time, the amount of post-op discomfort is minimized allowing immediate movement of the arms and shoulders, ambulation, and a safe, predictable and enhanced recovery. This surgical and post-op care regimen is known at our practice as “The Capizzi Method” and have extended this holistic approach to many of our other procedures.

Those four moderate to severe lines had made themselves right at home across the center of my forehead, and became the centerpiece of every selfie I took. No matter how many serums I applied, chemical peels I sat through, or times I massaged my face with a dermaroller, they persisted. After two years, I finally got sick of looking at them. So, less than a week from my birthday, I took my mission to the professionals at New York Dermatology Group in Manhattan. That’s where I sought out injectable wrinkle reducers, a temporary treatment that smooths the appearance of lines like these in areas like the crow’s feet, frown lines, and yes, those pesky forehead wrinkles. Admittedly, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect. Not only was I afraid that the injections would hurt, but I didn’t totally understand how the whole thing worked. "It's going to prevent your muscle fiber from firing," explained North Carolina-based plastic surgeon Peter Capizzi, MD, when I asked him what would happen to me when I got injected. "It is a straightforward, procedure. " He also warned me that I needed to set my expectations at the right level. Older, more etched-in wrinkles are more challenging to reduce. "If I inject in there, it's not gonna be gone tomorrow," Dr. Capizzi explained. "But it will diminish over time. " "Temporarily diminished wrinkles" sounded great to me.

From chronic aches and pains to just plain old discomfort, there are a variety of reasons why someone may decide to get a breast reduction. But there's a lot of misinformation out there about the surgery itself, and because of that, it can be difficult to recognize the physical signs and symptoms that can help you tell if a breast reduction is right for you. Luckily, doctors and other health professionals are there to help. "There is not a specific cup size threshold that is needed in order to benefit from a breast reduction," Dr. Lara Devgan, certified plastic surgeon, tells Bustle. So anyone having issues can speak to their doctor about exploring this option. What's more, breast reductions are pretty common nowadays — according to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2017, there were 59,463 breast reduction surgeries for functional purposes, and 43,635 breast reduction surgeries for cosmetic purposes. "A cosmetic reduction is one where the size of your breasts affects your lifestyle in terms of what you want to wear or your style aesthetic, for example," board-certified plastic surgeon Rady Rahban, M. D. F. A. C. S. , tells Bustle. "A functional breast reduction is when the size of your breast impacts your quality of life in terms of symptoms, including back and neck pain, sweating under the breast, bra strap pain in shoulder, or tingling in your upper extremities due to the pull of the weight of your breasts.

Plastic surgery is becoming more and more commonplace, and everything from injectables to more traditional procedures (like breast augmentations and face-lifts) are on the table. While these procedures can be done safely in the hands of a practiced doctor, unfortunately, there can be rare cases of unwanted side effects — which is exactly what seemed to happen to YouTuber Karissa Pukas after she received a breast augmentation in 2014. According to The Daily Mail, Pukas revealed in a YouTube video that she struggled so much after getting her breast augmentation with side effects like brain fog, acne, hair loss, and fatigue that she decided to have the implants removed this year. Pukas says her implants made her "feel like I was living in a 90-year-old's body. " The video, titled "The Truth About Breast Implants," is captioned, "My breast implants were making me chronically sick - here is my story. " In it, Pukas mentions that she's felt sick since she got her breast augmentation in 2014, though she doesn't often show the pain on social media. The video chronicles the past four years in flashbacks, including one in which she says, "I've had on and off blurry vision and I feel like I'm an old woman. I have hip pain, back pain and digestive issues. I don't understand why I feel so old and debilitated at 26 years old.

Don't just live with body issues, contact Capizzi MD and get the body you deserve today. What is Gynecomastia? Gynecomastia is male breast development and can be caused by hormonal change, weight increase, medication, drug use, and aging. Male breast development has increased over the past 10 years, likely due to weight gain. Weight loss can improve this but may result in extra skin remaining. Fat, breast tissue, and skin all make up the components of gynecomastia. Moderate Grade Gynecomastia The moderate form of male breast development encompassed the above breast mass beneath the nipple areola complex, but extends more so beyond into the upper and lateral chest. There is little to no decent of the nipple areola complex from skin. This is the most common form seen in my practice and is treated with power assisted liposuction through tiny incisions near the underarm and if remaining tissue is evident after the liposuction is completed, then it can be removed directly as the mild form above all at the same setting. Extensive Grade Gynecomastia The more extensive or extreme form of gynecomastia is breast sagging in addition to an increase in size of the breast. The sagging of the nipple areola complex imposes a difficult challenge for a male as the incisions for a breast lift or reduction cannot be hidden. The goal standard approach has been a modified excision of skin and fatty tissue along the crease along with removal of the breast tissue beneath the areola through an incision from 3-6-9 o’clock. Liposuction, our choice is the PAL (power-assisted) liposuction machine, removes the residual... --- - Published: 2018-07-26 - Modified: 2025-05-01 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/living-mag-hit-features-dr-capizzi/ Dr. Capizzi is featured in Living Magazine's article detailing the little downtime it takes to recover from breast implant surgery and miraDry. Dr. Capizzi was recently featured in Living Magazine's article "It's a Beautiful Day" detailing how little downtime it takes to recover from breast implant surgery and miraDry.

Whether you're seeking enhanced results from a primary augmentation or correction from a revision surgery, this innovative approach provides stability, lift, and confidence from the inside out. Lasting support. Beautiful shape. Confidence that stays. At Capizzi MD Cosmetic Surgery & Med Spa in Charlotte, our internal bra approach reinforces breast shape from the inside out—adding long-term support where tissue alone isn’t enough. It’s a sophisticated solution for breast augmentation in patients with lax tissue and for complex revision cases (bottoming out, lateral displacement, recurrent sagging, or stretched skin after pregnancy or weight change). What is an “internal bra”? “Internal bra” is a dissolvable mesh that reinforces the breast’s internal support system. While this is a newer technique in the cosmetic plastic surgery scene, these matrices (i. e. Alloderm, Strattice, SIA) have been used for decades in breast reconstruction to achieve long-term results. Most often, we use an internal mesh called Galaflex, that is made from suture material and is proven to create tissue that both strengthens and supports as the mesh itself dissolves over 12-18 months following surgery. Your exact plan depends on your anatomy, skin quality, and surgical goals. In some cases, sutured pocket repair alone is best; in others, adding an internal bra provides the most reliable long-term outcome. Your surgeon will discuss all material options—including benefits, considerations, and whether they’re right for you. Why patients choose the internal bra Shape that holds: Helps keep implants centered and lifted by reinforcing the breast pocket. Pocket control: Reduces risks like bottoming out and lateral “sliding. ”Refinement, not bulk: Support comes from internal reinforcement—not larger implants.

Each option has unique characteristics that can influence the final outcome. Let’s explore breast implant types recommended by Dr. Peter Capizzi, world-renowned breast surgeon with experience placing over 15,000 breast implants during his career. What is Preservation Breast Augmentation? Preservation Breast Augmentation (PBA) is a modern, tissue-respecting way to enhance the breast—prioritizing anatomy-sparing technique, pocket precision, and reliable support over simply “going bigger. ” The aim is to produce soft, centered, youthful breasts that hold their position beautifully over time.

Maybe you have a vision in mind of how you’d look with breast implants, and you’ve probably discussed the topic with a friend or family member. This is a great start. However, for the most successful experience, and to get the results you want, it’s important to take the time to do some research and familiarize yourself with breast implant sizes offered at Capizzi, M.D. so that you can know exactly what to expect. Know Your Goal The most important thing to consider is your motivation for having the surgery, and the goal you would like to achieve with breast implants. Some of the common reasons women consider breast augmentation are: To restore lost breast volume following breast-feeding or significant weight loss To make breasts larger or more proportionate to your body To feel more attractive. At Capizzi MD, we most often recommend Motiva and Sientra gummy bear implants for our patients due to their unparalleled safety ratings and ability to create long-lasting results. After placing thousands of breast implants throughout his 25+ year career, Dr. Capizzi is confident that these brands offer the best options for his patients now and for the long haul. Here are the most common considerations to make for your implant choice: FILL There are two fill options for breast implants: saline and silicone. There are obvious differences between the two:Cohesive Silicone Gel (also called Gummy Bear implants): Cohesive silicone gel implants are filled with a form-stable “gummy bear”–like gel that holds together and maintains a smooth, flattering contour. This thicker gel often feels soft and natural while helping minimize visible rippling and supporting upper-pole shape over time; if the shell is compromised, the gel tends to stay together rather than flow. Available in different cohesivity levels, shapes, and profiles, they can be tailored to your anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. At Capizzi MD, we use cohesive gel implants as part of a personalized plan focused on comfort, beautifully... --- - Published: 2025-07-23 - Modified: 2026-01-19 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/services/crisalix-3d/ Crisalix 3D is a groundbreaking virtual reality (VR) technology that allows patients to visualize the potential outcomes of their cosmetic surgery before the procedure.

These easy, non-invasive exams help detect potential complications like rupture or capsular contracture—giving patients peace of mind and greater control over their long-term implant health. With over 20 years of experience and thousands of implants placed, Dr. Peter Capizzi brings his clinical research background and surgical expertise to every screening. Whether you’re a current or former patient, we’re here to support your ongoing safety and confidence. Stay Informed. Stay Safe. Stay Compliant. As many patients are aware, the FDA has been closely monitoring breast implants in recent months to ensure their safety and efficacy for breast augmentation and reconstruction. Although the vast majority of these devices are very safe and result in no complications, occasionally, there are concerns brought to me by patients. To assist you in feeling more informed, and secure in with your implant choice, I will now be offering Breast Implant Ultrasound Checkups. This will help to inform you with breast implants while staying compliant with the FDA’s NEW breast implant surveillance recommendations. Participating in clinical research has been a passion during my training as a Plastic Surgeon and General Surgeon at the Mayo Clinic. This passion continued when I delved into private practice. As a co-investigator for the 4th and 5th generation gel implants, I have been able to review what I was doing with the various implants of the day beginning in 1998. Since then I have been reviewing, publishing, and making industry contacts with the goal of bringing our patients best-in-class care for cosmetic breast implant procedures here in Charlotte, North Carolina. After more than 20 years in practice, I have placed thousands of 5th generation gummy bear implants. We are now seeing a change in the surveillance of those implants.

Each option has unique characteristics that can influence the final outcome. Let’s explore breast implant types recommended by Dr. Peter Capizzi, world-renowned breast surgeon with experience placing over 15,000 breast implants during his career. DIFFERENT FILL TYPES Breast implant fill types are something we chat about regularly. Our goal at Capizzi MD is to help you achieve your desired breast augmentation outcome by recommending the optimal implant option for your lifestyle and aesthetic goals. These are the current fill types available for United States patients. Silicone Gummy Bear These implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel. These are the only silicone implants we recommend at this time due to a high patient satisfaction and impressive safety ratings. The cohesive gel mimics the feel of breast tissue, is able to retain volume in the upper breast to enhance results, and has very low rates of complication. Silicone These implants are filled with a fluid-like silicone gel. They offer the same appearance and feel as their gummy bear alternatives, but without the same safety ratings over the long haul. Saline These implants are filled with sterile saline after placement. These can be utilized if the patient desires an underarm incision, or if the patient wants a large size that may not be available in a silicone option. There is a high risk of rippling/folding or rupture for these implants over time. DIFFERENT IMPLANT MANUFACTURERS IN THE UNITED STATES The market for breast implants is diverse, with various manufacturers offering different options. Some implants are exclusively available to board-certified surgeons, which may limit the range of options discussed in your other consultations.

Shape the Body You Deserve Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes stubborn, unwanted body fat. It has risen in popularity to become one of the most sought-after procedures in the country. This game-changing operation is a safe and effective way for both men and women alike to successfully take control of their images. Liposuction slims common trouble spots such as the thighs, buttocks, arms, abdomen, neck or hips. With these pesky areas toned and tapered, you can reach your vision of a sleeker, more attractive you. Common Areas For Liposuction: Abdomen Buttocks Inner Knees Inner & Outer Thighs Hips Bra Nuggets Bra Roll Upper Arms Waist (Lipo 360) The Liposuction Procedure As we age, it is common for people to experience fatty deposits that seem to just “show up” in the belly, thighs, hips, and legs. This is the result of a naturally slowing metabolism, and over time these fatty deposits become harder and harder to contour via traditional methods such as diet and exercise. While there are non-surgical body contouring options, liposuction is one of the most effective techniques for body contouring. Liposuction is performed by suctioning excess fat tissue through a thin metal tube known as a cannula. Incisions are minimal and heal to be virtually invisible.

About Tummy Tucks A tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, is a safe and effective procedure performed to reduce excess stomach fat, tone sagging skin, and refine laxity in the abdominal wall. Tummy tucks are often accompanied by liposuction in the back, waist, thighs, or buttocks area for a more complete body contouring experience. Because body types and target regions for improvement vary so much from patient to patient, your surgeon will recommend a specific type of tummy tucks: mini, standard, full (extended), or circumferential. Your surgeon will discuss your ideal procedure at length during your initial consultation. Good candidates for a tummy tuck include those who have excess skin and/or tissue on the abdomen that doesn’t remedy with a regular fitness and nutrition routine. Sometimes the natural progression of aging means that these wellness techniques will help us get healthier but not necessarily address our aesthetic needs in the way that we might want them to. Here at Capizzi MD Cosmetic Surgery & Med Spa, we pride ourselves on offering the most cutting-edge treatments for our patients. With our Enhanced Recovery After Surgery program, tummy tuck recovery is quicker and easier than ever before.

Treatments may include liposuction, skin tightening technologies, or minimally invasive injectables to achieve a more defined jawline and youthful profile. The goal is to create balanced, natural-looking results that enhance overall facial harmony. Chin Liposuction Submental liposuction, often referred to as “chin liposuction” or “neck liposuction,” is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the area beneath the chin, also known as the submental region. This procedure helps to define the jawline and eliminate the appearance of a double chin. While traditional liposuction focuses on larger areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, submental liposuction is specifically designed for the delicate and smaller area under the chin. It utilizes smaller cannulas and requires more precision to ensure a natural and aesthetically pleasing result. What to Expect During the Surgery Submental liposuction, also known as neck liposuction or chin liposuction, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat under the chin, effectively reducing the appearance of a double chin. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:Preparation: Prior to the procedure, your surgeon will mark the area to be treated and administer local anesthesia to numb the area. Incisions: Small incisions are made under the chin or behind the ears to access the fat deposits. Fat Removal: A small, thin tube called a cannula is inserted through the incisions, and excess fat is suctioned out using a vacuum or syringe. Closure: Once the desired amount of fat is removed, your surgeon will close the incisions with dissolvable sutures and apply a compression garment to minimize swelling and support the area during the healing process. Submental liposuction typically takes about one to two hours, depending on the extent of... --- - Published: 2025-04-22 - Modified: 2026-01-19 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/services/eyelid-lift/ An eyelid lift at Capizzi MD rejuvenates the eyes by removing excess skin and refining the contours of the upper or lower eyelids. This delicate procedure restores a brighter, more rested appearance, enhancing both natural beauty and facial expression. About Eyelid Lifts It is a common thought that droopy eyelids, puffy bags beneath the eyes, crow’s feet and laugh lines are the inevitable burdens of aging that must be tolerated, covered with makeup or hidden behind dark glasses. Loss of elasticity and weakened muscles around the eyes can make one appear exhausted and can add ten years to one’s perceived age. In extreme cases, sagging skin from the upper lids may actually cause ptosis, or the impairment of vision. Yet with the latest innovative techniques in eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty), vibrant, youthful eyes are within reach at any age. During this rejuvenating, hour-long cosmetic procedure, our surgeons produce dramatic results by removing excess skin and fat around the eye area and tightening the tiny muscles we use every day to form thousands of facial expressions. This is one of the doctor’s most popular surgeries for patients of all genders, and is often recommended in conjunction with a facelift, a brow lift or a neck lift. The Capizzi Approach Clients from all over North Carolina regard Dr. Capizzi as one of the top providers of eyelid surgery. As a board-certified plastic surgeon trained at the elite Mayo Clinic, the doctor is known for his personalized approach, caring presence, and gifted touch, with a focus on the newest innovations in the industry, both domestically and abroad.

By repositioning the brows to a natural, balanced height, this procedure brightens the eyes and enhances overall facial harmony. About Brow Lifts Are you concerned with asymmetry, or low, sagging brows? A brow lift might be for you! Low, sagging brows can be a result of natural aging. As we age, our skin and soft tissues lose elasticity. This causes sagging and can shorten the distance between the eyebrows and eyelashes, creating a drooping look. A lower position of your brows can impact your expression, causing you to appear tired, angry, or sad when your face is relaxed. A brow lift can correct:Horizontal lines and creases in the forehead and across the bridge of the noseDeep lines between the browsSagging/drooping eyebrows and eyelidsThe brow lift technique your surgeon chooses will raise your eyebrows and restore your appearance to look more pleasing and refreshed. This procedure is often recommended with an upper eyelid lift to improve brow ptosis (sagging). WHAT IS A BROW LIFT? Also known as a “forehead lift” or forehead rejuvenation, a brow lift is a cosmetic procedure to raise the brows. This procedure improves the appearance of the forehead, brow, and the area around the eyes by raising the soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow. What happens during the procedure? Brow lift techniques vary depending on your desired results. Your surgeon will discuss your goals with you and develop a personalized treatment plan. The specific technique your surgeon chooses will determine the location of your incisions and your resulting scars. There are three main types of brow lift methods: the classic lift, endoscopic lift,... --- - Published: 2025-04-22 - Modified: 2026-01-19 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/services/neck-lift/ A neck lift at Capizzi MD refines and tightens the neck and jawline by removing excess skin and addressing muscle laxity for a smoother, more youthful profile. This procedure restores definition and balance to the face, enhancing confidence with natural, long-lasting results. About Neck Lifts One of the most frustrating side effects of aging is sagging, excess fat and skin that distorts the neck area, altering the profile and the entire facial appearance. Wrinkled, loose folds beneath the chin, or what some term a “turkey neck”, may even cause a slim man or woman to look heavier, older and less appealing. A Neck Lift is a dynamic, age-reversing solution that can regenerate youth and confidence and make glancing in the mirror enjoyable once again. A neck lift, also called a lower rhytidectomy, restores elasticity to the jaw and neck by refining the neck muscles and trimming neck fat to achieve a tighter silhouette. Depending on the patient’s facial structure, additional treatments such as facial fat grafting, a facelift, eyelid surgery or dermal fillers may be recommended. Choosing The Best Neck Lift Surgeon in NC As a double board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in the newest preventative aging techniques, Dr. Peter Capizzi is known to deliver fantastic neck lift procedures. As with all cosmetic facial surgeries, the right surgeon must have the artistry and discerning eye necessary to facilitate a beautiful result.

The result is a refreshed, natural appearance that enhances confidence while honoring your unique features. About Facelifts As we age, the skin around our neck, jaw, and cheekbones begins to lose its elasticity. Wrinkles, frown lines, and sagging skin threaten to completely distort our profile. Even with exercise, proper hydration and vitamins, and medical-grade skincare, these effects are difficult to combat without the assistance of a facelift and other cosmetic surgeries. There are several different types of facelifts available to patients. Your surgeon will be able to build a customized treatment plan during your consultation that fits your needs perfectly. Types of Facelifts MiniA mini facelift is for patients who need lift in the lower region of their face, without requiring the manipulation of tightening underlying muscle structure. A mini facelift will address loose skin in the jowls or under the chin. This is completed by your surgeon carefully tightening the surface skin and layer of fatty tissue directly beneath.

This quick, non-surgical procedure targets fat cells beneath the jawline to reveal a more sculpted, youthful profile—with no downtime required. Whether you're frustrated by stubborn fullness or seeking sharper definition, our expert team delivers safe, customized results that restore confidence from every angle. HOW DOES KYBELLA® WORK? Kybella® is one of the newest and most exciting FDA-approved injectables in the field of preventative aging. It was developed to target and eliminate the infuriating neck fat responsible for “double-chins. ” A double-chin can add years to one’s perceived age, as well as make a person appear heavier. This effect results in lowered self-esteem and feelings of frustration. Kybella® was developed as a safe, non-surgical alternative to procedures like liposuction or neck lifts. The upper neck area below the jaw can be especially resistant to dieting and exercise. Yet, this simple cosmetic procedure can reverse fat deposits within a matter of days. With Kybella®, patients need no incisions or general anesthesia, and recovery is immediate. A client can come to the office at lunchtime, and return to work for the afternoon. The Science of Kybella® The critical ingredient in Kybella® is deoxycholic acid. This is a fat-metabolizing agent that occurs naturally in the human body. When injected, the deoxycholic acid pierces the fat cell membrane, causing membrane death. The fat cells metabolize naturally after the procedure. This creates a more slender, sculpted profile with greater definition. Kybella®®’s results are usually visible in 10-14 days. This treatment will continue to improve chin and neck contours for up to 6 months. Choosing Capizzi MD Administering an injection may seem simple compared to other cosmetic procedures. But, it actually requires a high degree of precision and experience to produce a natural, pleasing outcome. Additionally, the neck is a... --- - Published: 2025-05-05 - Modified: 2026-01-19 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/botox/sculptra/ At Capizzi MD in Charlotte, NC, we offer Sculptra®—an advanced collagen stimulator designed to restore youthful volume and structure to the face and body over time. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra® works deep beneath the skin’s surface to gradually rebuild collagen, delivering natural-looking results that can last up to two years or more. Whether you're looking to lift your cheeks, contour your jawline, or enhance your curves, our expert team will guide you through a personalized treatment plan that reveals your most refreshed, radiant self. WHAT IS SCULPTRA®? Sculptra® is an injectable poly-L-lactic acid filler that is FDA-approved for replacing lost collagen. Collagen loss is an unfortunate, natural side effect of aging. It is what often gives our faces and bodies a bony and hollow appearance. By stimulating collagen production in the body, we use Sculptra® to create natural-looking results for many of our patients. Sculptra® Gallery Sculptra® Is Different From Other Fillers As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra® is different from traditional dermal fillers which are usually composed of hyaluronic acid. Rather than plumping with liquid volume, Sculptra® works with your body to stimulate collagen production and help restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin. Rebuilt collagen then gradually improves facial volume and diminishes wrinkles and folds. This is a slow-grow product that does take time to see results, but they are well worth it. Typically a few treatments are needed, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Patience is key here as results peak in the months following your last treatment. Because Sculptra® stimulates the product of your own collagen, results can last 2-3 years and can typically be maintained with one treatment per year thereafter.

We are dedicated to offering the latest and most effective treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Today, we're excited to introduce you to the benefits of Bellafill®, a unique and long-lasting filler and biostimulator designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance your natural radiance. What is Bellafill®? Bellafill® is unlike traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. It's a dual-action injectable filler that provides both immediate volume and long-term collagen stimulation. This unique biostimulator’s composition includes:Collagen Gel: Provides immediate volume and lift to smooth away wrinkles and enhance contours. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Microspheres: These tiny, smooth spheres remain in the skin and create a structural matrix that supports your body's natural collagen production over time, leading to lasting results. Approved by the FDA for the treatment of nasolabial folds (smile lines) and acne scars, Bellafill® offers a proven solution for long-term facial rejuvenation. Biostimulators vs. Dermal Fillers Biostimulators such as Bellafill and Sculptra are surging in popularity due to the natural enhancement properties of the products. Biostimulators act differently than traditional dermal filler and stimulate the body’s production of collagen and elastin while also providing subtle volume. There is no risk for a puffy, overfilled look when utilizing biostimulators – as they focus on addressing root causes of aging and fat loss.

Using a specialized scalpel, our expert aestheticians exfoliate dead skin cells and remove peach fuzz to reveal a fresh, luminous complexion—perfect on its own or as a prep step before chemical peels, facials, or laser treatments. Safe for all skin types (including sensitive and pregnancy-safe), dermaplaning is your go-to glow-up with zero downtime. How Dermaplaning Works During treatment, one of our highly trained providers uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully resurface the skin. This process exfoliates the outer layer of dead cells and removes fine hair that can trap dirt and oil. The result is a clearer surface that enhances product absorption and creates the perfect canvas for flawless makeup application. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=pcnwi-wXr5whttps://www. youtube. com/watch? v=7yYJzntHLRw Benefits Of Dermaplaning Instantly smoother, brighter skin Removes peach fuzz for a polished finish Improves absorption of skincare products Provides a flawless base for makeup Non-invasive, requires no downtime Dermaplaning is comfortable, quick, and requires no recovery time. Most sessions take less than 30 minutes, making it the perfect “lunchtime treatment. ” Afterward, patients notice immediate improvement in skin texture and radiance, with results that last several weeks. Pairing Dermaplaning with Other Treatments For enhanced results, dermaplaning can be combined with other treatments such as chemical peels, facials, or laser services. By clearing away the surface layer of dead skin, dermaplaning allows these treatments and medical-grade products to penetrate more effectively for optimized results. Who Is A Good Candidate? Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and is an excellent option for patients seeking gentle exfoliation without chemicals or downtime. It is especially popular for those preparing for a big event or simply wanting to maintain a fresh, youthful glow. Patients with active acne may not be ideal candidates, and our providers will guide you toward the best treatment for your skin’s needs. have... --- - Published: 2025-05-13 - Modified: 2026-01-19 - URL: https://capizzimd.com/med-spa/chemical-peels/ At Capizzi MD in Charlotte, NC, our customized chemical peels reveal brighter, smoother, and more radiant skin—no matter your skin type or tone.
