Useful Surgical Links


Surgery websites and other resources are an excellent way to learn more about plastic surgery procedures, if they are reputable. A good site can be educational, but a bad one will point you in the wrong direction. To ensure you are receiving accurate information, it is imperative that you be conscientious of the sources you are engaging with. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery are two trusted sources that both patients and physicians can benefit from.

Other resources may lead patients in their search for selecting a plastic surgeon when they have a concern about a particular part of the face or body. Review sites are increasing in popularity as more and more individuals trust them. Popular sites include Yelp, Citysearch, RealSelf, Vitals, and many others.

Dr. Roland has received many positive reviews on these sites which have led other patients to consider him and benefit from his surgical skill and expertise. Even so, it is important to remember that more than a handful of stars are necessary to determine if a doctor has the necessary credentials. Sources such as review sites should be used as a starting point and then followed up through consultation and questions about certification and experience.

Breast Surgery

Breast Augmentation- One of the most popular procedures among women is breast augmentation. The breast enhancing cosmetic surgery influences the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts through the use of implants. Breast augmentation is customizable with implants of various sizes, types, and placements.

Breast Lift – Women who experience breast volume loss and sagging due to age, heredity, or after pregnancy or weight fluctuations may be candidates for breast lift. Breast lift elevates the breasts to a youthful position, improving the profile and overall shape. The procedure is often combined with either breast augmentation or breast reduction surgery.

Breast Reduction – Overly large breasts can take a physical and emotional toll on a woman. Large breasts can cause pain and self-consciousness, as well as lead to frustration when exercising or shopping for clothing. During breast reduction surgery fat, tissue and excess skin are removed from the breasts to create a smaller and more pleasing breast contour.

Body Surgery

Liposuction – A sculpted body void of fat rolls and puffy areas is achievable with liposuction. The fat removal procedure is performed on several areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, and upper arms. Fine liposuction techniques allow the surgeon to etch certain areas, such as the abdominal muscles.

Tummy Tuck – Tummy tuck removes excess fat from the abdomen and also tightens the abdominal muscles. The result is a firmer and flatter profile. The procedure is popular following pregnancy or weight gain when the muscles in the stomach become stretched.

Mommy Makeover – Following childbirth, women may be dissatisfied with the new appearance of their breasts and abdomen. There is often excess fat in the abdomen, stretched skin, loss in breast volume, sagging of the breasts, and other changes. To restore the body to its firmer, flatter contours a tummy tuck and breast lift is combined in a mommy makeover.

Buttocks Augmentation – Buttocks augmentation is designed to form more shapely buttocks. The procedure, which utilizes fat transfer or implants, creates a more pleasing profile of the backside. A consultation will help determine which technique is the most suitable for a particular patient.

Face Surgery

Facelift- Signs of aging in the mid to lower face are reversed with the facelift. During the procedure the cheeks are elevated, jowls are lifted, and wrinkles and folds in the face and neck are smoothed by redraping and tightening the skin. The procedure is ideal for men and women who are healthy and would like to regain a younger appearance.

Neck Lift – The jowls and neck can be targeted in a procedure similar to a facelift, but using smaller incisions hidden beneath the skin. Patients undergo a neck lift to improve the appearance of jowls, neck bands, and a “turkey waddle” or “double chin.”

Eyelid Surgery – Excess skin from the upper and lower eyelids is removed during eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty. Eyelid surgery is a solution for patients who constantly look tired due to droopy eyelids and bags under the eyes. Extreme sagging can sometimes impair vision. The procedure corrects these problems, in addition to fatty deposits in the upper eyelids and fine wrinkles in the lower eyelids.

Rhinoplasty – Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is performed to improve the appearance and function of the nose. Refinement of the nasal tip, removal of a hump or bump, and raising the tip are only some of the desires frequently expressed by patients. Dr. Roland evaluates the nose and facial structure to develop a customized nasal appearance that looks natural.

Injectable Procedures

Botox Cosmetic – Botox is derived from botulinum toxin type A. When injected in the right concentrations and by a trained professional, Botox is extremely safe and effective. The product is used to reduce the appearance of dynamic facial wrinkles, including frown lines, crow’s feet, and worry lines.

Fat Injections – Fat transfer utilizes fat from the patient’s own body and harvests it for use in the face to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It is also effective in augmenting the lips. Advantages of fat injection include no risk of allergic reaction and long-lasting results.

Restylane – Nasolabial folds, glabellar lines, and tear troughs may be treated with Restylane, a clear gel injectable filler. The injectable substance is also used to sculpt the lips and other facial contours. Restylane is composed of hyaluronic acid and typically lasts for six months or longer.

Sculptra – Sculptra is comprised of polylactic acid (PLLA). The injectable filler improves sunken areas of the face and restores volume loss, a common problem due to aging. Commonly treated areas are the cheeks, hollows under the eyes, and wrinkles. Results may last up to two years.

Radiesse – Lasting one to two years, Radiesse is an injectable filler that shapes the contours of the face. Radiesse is used in laugh lines, scars, and other depressions. The substance is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA).
