A word of advice to those seeking plastic surgery: choose your doctor carefully.

’s society, all providers are not created equal. At the Center for Aesthetic

field, from patient care, to researching and developing new techniques and
treatments, to training the next generation of plastic and reconstructive
surgeons. Plastic surgery is highly personal and this team treats it that way,
replacing one-size-fits-all procedures with individualized care based on a full
understanding of each patient
’s unique needs, goals and biology. Expect unsurpassed surgical skills for the
most natural-looking results, and every attention to your comfort and safety.

Breast Reduction
gary horndeski, m.d., p.a., f.a.c.s.
Women request breast reduction to correct three problems. First, the breast
mound has moved lateral and down the chest wall.
This decreases the cleavage and the breast lies too low. Second, the shape has
changed from conical with projecting areolas to deflated with downward pointing
areolas.Third, the breast size is too large. The ideal goal is to lift the
breast mound so that it begins at the level of a horizontal line determined by
the junction of the arm to the chest. The second goal is to reshape the breast,
increasing projection and repositioning the areola anteriorly. The third goal
is to reduce the volume of the breast. A new technique of internal suspension
similar to a push up bra corrects all of these problems. The cleavage is
restored by repositioning the mound closer together. The conical shape is
restored by internal suturing. The size is reduced to a level determined by the
patient. This procedure may be covered by most insurance plans. Call Dr.
Horndeski at 281-565-8099 for a consultation.
A New Shapely You for the New Year
Shapes Body-Contouring Clinics
Shapes offers a new to Houston and new to the U.S. treatment to non-surgically

on women and men. Up to three treatments are possible per week, so results are
fast.
Your skin will look firmer and tighter, cellulite and stretch marks will be
reduced, and body-circumference significantly reduced to effortlessly get you
back to that youthful look
—a new rejuvenated, youthful you! Imagine comfortably wearing clothes that you
saved in the hope that one day they would fit again. If you just want to get
