Breast Surgery
Is the most common aesthetic surgery in the U.S. The surgery enhances the breast while improving overall breast shape. Dr. Franco mostly commonly uses gummy bear implants (highly cohesive gel implants) for the breast augmentation though saline implants are available as well. The breast implant is typically placed under the muscle, however can occasionally be placed over the muscle but under the breast tissue. A breast augmentation improves the projection, cleavage and overall contour of the breast. Breast implants come in a wide variety of sizes and profiles so that your breast enhancement can be tailored to your individual goals. Learn More...
This procedure is used to decrease the size of the breast while lifting and shaping the breast. In a breast reduction tissue is removed artistically so that the size and weight of the breast can be decreased while still lifting and improving the overall shape of the breasts. Large, heavy breasts may lead to pain, discomfort and difficulty with exercise. Breast reduction patients are typically extremely happy as the size of their breast have often been a concern for patients for a significant amount of time. The vast majority of patients feel relief from their symptoms shortly after the surgery. Learn More...
This is one of the most powerful procedures in aesthetic breast surgery. The combination of a breast lift and augmentation has the ability to shape, enhance and transform the breast. This procedure is extremely common after pregnancy or weight loss as the volume in the breast is often lost and the breast tend to sag due to excess skin. The power of the breast lift combined with a breast implant is that it not only allows your surgeon to lift and shape your breast, but it also allows your surgeon to restore the volume you may have lost in your breasts as well. The mastopexy augmentation can be combined with a variety of breast implants to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

This procedure is designed to hold and support your breast implants in the proper position. Overtime breast implants can fall to the side or down below the breast fold, and they need to be supported into the correct position. The internal bra is placed internally, and created with special sutures or a mesh placement. This procedure allows the implant to sit in the perfect position to enhance to the overall appearance of the breast.

Multiple factors such as aging, weight fluctuations and breastfeeding can lead to sagging, elongated breasts. A breast lift surgery will raise the breasts to improve the overall shape creating a more youthful and firmer appearing breast. The breast lift can be done alone or in combination with a breast implant. There are several types of breast lift surgeries that can be performed:
- Benelli (Donut) lift which limits the incision to around the areola. This is an attractive breast lift option to many patients as it limits the scars that are created. However, this lift is typically only beneficial when patients need more of a nipple repositioning than a true lift. A Benelli (circum-areolar) lift is often combined with an augmentation. The procedure can also be done in combination a breast augmentation to reduce the size of the areola.
- Vertical breast lift avoids an incision along the bottom fold of the breast. In the right type of patient, it is very useful to shape the breast without having a full anchor incision.
- Full (anchor) breast lift is the most common type of lift as it allows your surgeon to shape your breast in multiple directions. A breast lift can be combined with a breast augmentation or a breast implant exchange. This allows patients to restore the shape a volume they once had, or always desired!
Deciding on what type of breast implants are right for you can be difficult. Patients always ask which implant is “better” saline or silicone. The benefit is that in this day and age is that there are so many choices of implants that the breast augmentation can be tailored to each patient. Learn More...

Our face can age with time, or secondary to weight changes.

The idea is to enhance your appearance, not to change your appearance. During your consultation Dr. Franco, will discuss the various facelift options to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
A blepharoplasty is one of the procedures that is equally popular between men and women. Eye lid lift allows patients to have a refreshed appearance without looking over done or fake.

Fillers (Voluma, Restylane, Lyft, Juvederm, Radiesse etc..) are a great alternative to surgery for many patients to restore volume in their face and beyond. Fillers are most commonly used in the face but can but used in other places such as the hands and for vaginal rejuvenation. Fillers when used correctly can lift and rejuvenate the face in a natural soft way. They can be used by patients of all ages, as many younger patients want to enhance their lips with various fillers. Fillers can bridge patients prior to surgery or keep them looking young and refreshed without surgery. Learn More...
Lip augmentation has become very popular over the past few years. When lip augmentations are done correctly they can add a very youthful, attractive appearance to the face. One of the common complaints of lip injections is that they tend to go away faster then patients would like.
Fat is a great alternative to fillers as it is going to last much longer. The benefit of the fat is that it is going to last for years to come rather than the six to nine months that the majority of fillers last. I would not say that they will replace fillers as fillers and fat all have their place. Fillers are a great start for patients so that they can get feel for the rejuvenation that they can expect from adding volume. Also fillers are a great quick fix as they can be done in the office in as little as ten minutes. Learn More...

Many patients come to the office hoping to improve the appearance of their droopy eyelids. The most common treatment is upper eyelid surgery. This removes the excess skin from the upper eyelids and thus improves the overall appearance of the eyes.
