The term 'plastic' or 'cosmetic surgery' actually covers a variety of surgical and chemical procedures which alter the body's outward appearance. These procedures are used to shape and contour body areas such as the face or body, soften skin tone to reduce or eliminate wrinkles or changes due to aging.
Dr. Alexander stresses the importance of choosing a cosmetic surgeon with an artistic ability and an aesthetic sense that complements your own objectives.
Serving Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Las Vegas areas. All of the procedures listed are performed at our facilities. Most procedures are performed using general anesthesia, others are performed with intravenous sedation. Certain procedures can be performed with local anesthesia. The decision concerning the type of anesthesia to be used will be discussed with you during your initial consultation.
 " Inconspicuous" Face-Lift
You may desire a more youthful, vibrant appearance which may be obtained by gently tightening the skin of the neck, jaw and lower face through a series of fine incisions behind the ears, in the hairline and in the natural creases of the skin. Dr. Alexander also employs forehead lifts that smooth your skin and slightly lift the eyebrows to help eliminate a tired, droopy appearance. Chin implants may be utilized to further enhance your overall appearance. Most importantly for some patients Dr. Alexander can recapture your youth through his artistic "inconspicuous" technique.

Eyelid Enhancement
(Blepharoplasty)
 Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is designed to remove excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Excessive skin and fat accumulation in the upper and lower eyelids are often the first signs of aging and may benefit from reduction of excess skin through fine incisions carefully placed in the natural folds of your eyelid. The eyebrows may also benefit by being repositioned to help restore that youthful, radiant look to your face.
The procedure can correct drooping upper lids that tend to sag with time and the puffy bags below the eyes. The procedure usually takes approximately one to one and a half hours and is typically performed as an out patient procedure. Stitches can be removed after three or four days.

Nose Beautification
(Rhinoplasty)
Nasal modification or sculpturing requires the highest degree of skill and artistry to avoid the "plastic" appearing "nose job". Dr. Alexander works closely with you to select the appropriate natural shape to create facial balance and harmony.
The nose is the most prominent feature of the human face. For many people, it is simply a part of their good looks and rarely merits a second thought. For countless others, the nose is an almost constant source of self-consciousness.
This procedure is done on an outpatient basis. Incisions are made inside the nostrils. The nasal bones, cartilage and soft tissues are reshaped to improve the external contour. Large nostrils may be reduced through tiny incisions at the outer base of the nostrils with either type of rhinoplasty.

- Breast Augmentation
- Breast Reduction
- Breastlift
Whether your breasts are too small, too large or sag due to childbirth or aging you can trust Dr. Alexander's artistic enhancing abilities. Dr. Alexander offers the latest techniques to help create the shape you desire. His years of experience with cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery is one reason physicians refer their patients who have had prior breast enhancement surgery or problems with implants to him.
Breast augmentation is a procedure by which a small incision is made under the breast and a saline implant is inserted above or below the muscle of the chest wall to enlarge the size and change the shape of the breast.
After surgery, breasts will appear "fuller" and more shapely in contour.

Body Contouring
(Lipo-Sculpture)
Regardless, of how strenuously you diet and exercise, those unsightly bulges around the abdomen, buttocks and thighs often will not disappear. Through his artistic lipo-sculpture technique Dr. Alexander enhances your body's natural definition as a sculptor creates a fine work of art. He utilizes the tumescent method and is certified in Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction.
Liposuction is a technique by which fat cells are removed from beneath the skin surface to create a contour change. Liposuction has undergone a tremendous evolution over the past several decades and has become one of the most commonly performed operations for women and men.

Abdominal Contouring
(Abdominoplasty) - "Tummy Tuck"
 Pregnancy, aging and weight changes are the most common reasons patients develop a sagging abdominal wall. Though liposuction can often be used to eliminate the bulging of the abdomen, it does little to improve the skin tone.
Dr. Alexander's first step towards improving your abdominal contour is to determine if the problem is due to weak abdominal muscles, excess fatty tissue, excess skin, or a combination. Your treatment options include the "tummy tuck" (Abdominoplasty), abdominal
lipo-sculpture and mini-Abdominoplasty. After choosing the best method for you, Dr. Alexander can help create a smoother, tighter, more attractive shape.
If you are in generally good physical shape but are concerned about abdominal fat deposits or loose skin that does not respond to diet and exercise, the procedure can potentially reduce or even eliminate a protruding abdomen.
