Understanding Vanquish

Understanding Vanquish

Vanquish is a new treatment for ridding yourself of unwanted areas of fat, specifically the stomach area. It is a new procedure in the field of radio frequency. Vanquish is non-contact and hovers just over the focused area. It heats up the fat cells to a point of about 120 degrees fahrenheit. Vanquish focuses on heating fat cells and does not affect the skin or underlying organs. Patients have report approximately 1-2 inches off their waist after treatment.

According to the numbers, Vanquish procedures can reduce abdominal fat by eliminating up to 59% of the targeted fat cells. The procedure is not painful, and will not require you to be anesthetized. Vanquish also appears to destroy more fat per treatment than other non-invasive procedures.

Finesse Rhinoplasty

dr mark prysi finesse rhinoplasty naples, florida plastic surgeon Rhinoplasty is one of the most demanding and artistically challenging procedures in plastic surgery. My approach to rhinoplasty has produced a number of extremely satisfied patients who now feel more confident in their facial appearance.

Rhinoplasty helps to address the following:

Oversized nose
Bump on the bridge of your nose
Unrefined nasal tip
Oversized or flared nostrils
Crooked nose
Asymmetrical nose (as the result of an injury or trauma)
Deviated septum
Wide or broad nasal base

Through small incisions inside the nose, we make millimeter/half-millimeter changes to the bone and cartilaginous architecture to change the external appearance of the nose. As a result, your nose is more consistent with your existing facial features.

Typical rhinoplasty patients have a large dorsum with an overly protruding nose, where the nose is noticeable on the face at first glance. Our goal is to bring the nose back into proportion with the rest of the facial features. This is done through subtle artistic changes, as mentioned above, that bring the nose into harmony with the face.

With other patients, it is mainly an issue of the nasal tip. Through the inside of the nose, small sutures are used to structurally change the tip of the nose so the external appearance is more consistent with the lines and shape of the face.

After rhinoplasty, your nose will feel sore and swollen. It is important to rest and refrain from strenuous activity. We will supply you with instructions on how to care for your nose as well as schedule follow-up appointments to check on your progress. A splint is worn for about a week, with patients generally reporting back to work within 7-10 days.

Eyelid Surgery

eyelid surgery Especially for the patient over thirty, it is critical that a correct diagnosis is made.

Diagnosis: Is Surgery Needed?

If the eyes feel heavy or look heavy, the first thing you have to do is make sure the structures around them are not contributing to this appearance.

Upper Eyelid

Specifically, on the upper eyelid, you have to make sure the brows are in the correct position. The brow goes up, about sixty percent of the time, you do not need upper lid surgery, or only minimal surgery is required.

Lower Eyelid

If the lower lid has a bulge in it, you first have to make sure the mid face is not collapsed. If the midface is up, about seventy percent of the time, you do not need lower lid surgery, and in fact it would be a mistake as it would make the eye more hollow.

The Procedure

However, sometimes you do need to take a little skin out of the upper lid, and fat out of the lower lid to get the optimal result. The upper lid requires usully just a small incision and the with the lower lid, just removing a small amount of fat to get the ring in the lower eye removed. This is done through the inside of the lid, so there is no scar on the lid, and no risk of eyelid pull down.

A typical patient, with her eyes in a good position, we know that the extra skin is just from eyelid skin which we can remove. Her lower eyelids mainly have wrinkles on them, so we can treat that with laser therapy, and a small incision inside to get rid of the little bulge.

The Result

Our final result shows the area where the eye shadow goes re-exposed, and the lower lid smooth with no ring anymore, and no tell tale signs that the laser therapy was done. All that is left is a natural appearance.

Dr. Mark Prysi: Breast Augmentation

Welcome to Prysi Cosmetic Surgery. I am Dr. Mark Prysi, a board-certified Naples plastic surgeon.

My staff and I are here for you to make sure your plastic surgery experience and results are the best possible.

Dr. Mark Prysi, Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation

Today we’re talking about breast augmentation.

I use a superior technique called endoscopic breast augmentation. This uses the endoscope, along with the keller funnel to limit your incision size to as small as possible. It also allows for more definition in the cleavage area.

In breast augmentation, there are three choices for incisions. You get do it around the areola, under the breast, or on the armpit if you desire no scar on the breast. The armpit incision is superior in patients who have an A cup, or very little breast tissue, or are young without any marks or scars. Once you shave over the armpit incision in 6 or 7 months, neither the patients themselves, or I can find it.

The implants are then placed almost exclusively under the muscle. There are three advantages for that: the hiding of the implant with the muscle makes it less palpable, massaging action on the muscle makes it so that it stays softer, and having the implant separated from the breast tissue with the muscle makes it so later on a mammography will be much more accurate.

With breast augmentation, I also utilize sizers during surgery. I use multiple sizers to find the exact perfect implant for you. The choices of implant are silicone or saline. Silicone implants are much more natural feeling, and the majority of my patients choose those.

What I’m mainly looking for in a typical patient is to have excellent cleavage, and for the outer part of the breast to be just covering the outer part of the chest. The breasts should feel natural in and out of clothes, and to touch.

Making people look and feel beautiful is much more than a profession; it is my passion.

Dr. Mark Prysi: Choosing Your Plastic Surgeon

If you are considering Plastic Surgery, one of the most important decisions is choosing your plastic surgeon. To help inform your Dr. Mark Prysi, Choosing Your Plastic Surgeon decision, here are six questions you should keep in mind.

Remember, a well qualified, experienced surgeon with an artistic eye is most likely to produce the results you deserve.

Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery

Is your surgeon a member of the American Board of Plastic Surgery? There is only one board certifying plastic surgeons that is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialities, that certify almost all other surgery boards. Newsweek Magazine did a study in 1999 and came to the conclusion that the gold standard of plastic surgery is certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Active Member of a Local Hospital

Is your surgeon an active member of a local hospital and a member of the Division of Plastic Surgery? You call your county and you have two hospitals and both have only one plastic surgery division and all members are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

These first two considerations do not mean you are going to get an excellent result, these considerations should really serve as baselines for your decision. If these two criteria are not met, you should absolutely keep looking for your plastic surgeon.

Examples of the Surgeon’s Work

If you should remember anything, you should remember this. So, most importantly, have you seen many examples of the surgeon’s work? You should see eight to twelve before and after photos, and meet two to three patients in person. This will trult be your best guiding factor to what your results could and would be.

Surgeon’s Skill with the Latest Techniques, and Technology

Is the Surgeon skilled in the latest advanced cosmetic procedures? There are many fresh advancements in the field of Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery. Some allow a surgeon to be more precise, some ensure a greater deal of comfort for the patient. If your surgeon is not up to date with the latest advancement’s in his field, you may be settling for a less, and are unlikely to receive an optimal surgery experience.

Artistic Ability

Does the Surgeon have artistic ability? No matter how technically good a surgeon is, if they are lacking artistic ability, you are not going to be able to get the best results. After all, wouldn’t you feel better off in the hands of someone who can see clearly his and your intentions, and bring your aesthetic desires to light?

Hospital Accredited Surgery Center

Does your surgeon use a hospital accredited surgery center with MD anesthesia? Some places of surgery are accredited just like a hospital operating room, with their own private space, or in a freestanding surgery center on the campus of a nearby hospital. Make sure your plastic surgeon is accredited by the county’s board of plastic surgery, and you’ll be ensuring that you get the optimal care you deserve.

What Works for Skin Care

Prysi Cosmetic Surgery and SpaMed

“My passion is to make people feel and look beautiful”.

Transcript from Dr. Mark Prysi’s presentation on “What Works for Skin Care by Dr. Mark Prysi – Naples Florida”

Dr. Mark Prysi Presentation Transcript:

Dr. Mark Prysi, Skin Care Welcome to Prysi Cosmetic Surgery. I am Dr. Mark Prysi a Naples board certified plastic surgeon. My staff are here for you to make sure you find your plastic surgery and results the best possible.

Today’s topic is advanced skin care. Specifically Medically proven products and therapies that actual change the structures of your skin.

What Works:

Sunscreen: Well number one is Sunscreen. You have to prevent further sun damage and daily sunscreen is a must.

Clairsonic: Second is a Clairsonic, ultrasonic cleanser. This not only cleanses the skin six to seven times better, but also exfoliates the skin and stimulates collagen building. There are only two products that have been proven to cause collagen building. That is Retin A which has been around for along time, but the problem is it is irritating. The majority of my patients in Florida did not do well with this. Fortunately a couple of years ago, TNS came out by skin medica that’s a growth protein that makes almost the same amount of collagen as Retin A but with no side effects.

Vitamin C Serum: Finally, Vitamin C serum, which can reverse sun damage. dermatologists have shown that once sun damage has occurred, thirty percent can be reversed with daily vitamin C therapy.

Hydroquinone: Hydroquinone is what causes skin evening. This product has been used for many years, and can help even out the melanocytes. It doesn’t destroy the melanocytes, and sunscreen is still necessary to prevent it from recurring.

Skin Medica Peels: The Skin Medica peels also cause exfoliation and stimulate new cells to produce collagen.

Everything else you are putting on your skin makes it look or feel better, but it is not changing the structure. These seven things are the only things needed to make your skin more youthful, and structurally better.

Thank you.
