Perhaps you have a few pregnancy pounds or some menopause flab rolls you want to drop. Maybe you want a mini facelift, eyelid surgery, or a butt lift. Center For SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery in Langhorne, founded by Richard M. Goldfarb, MD, FACS, is a multi-specialty practice offering the latest technology and awake procedures for those who want to turn back the hands of time.
According to Dr. Goldfarb, the latest product for his patients is Silhouette Soft. Pending approval from the FDA in this country, this exciting new treatment has been popular in over 50 countries around the world. According to Sinclair Pharmaceuticals, Silhouette Soft comes in the form of bidirectional absorbable thread cones. It is made in the United States and its development is based on six years of experience in suture suspension with cones used in reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. Silhouette Soft is a technological innovation offering women what no treatment has ever provided in such a simple way: a redefined face, restored volume, and reduced wrinkles by means of a 30-minute treatment at their doctor’s, for a result lasting up to 18 months. Dr. Goldfarb is a medical director for Silhouette Soft, as well as Silhouette Lift. Dr. Goldfarb helped to develop these techniques, and is a national and international trainer and lecturer for both. In fact, Dr. Goldfarb is one of the most sought after surgeons for physician training. Dr. Goldfarb has over 30 years of experience in general, vascular, and cosmetic surgery, and is board certified.
Dr. Goldfarb also pioneered the total facial rejuvenating Selphyl. It is now called “The Goldfarb Procedure,” and he also is medical director for this product. Unlike Botox or Juvederm, Selphyl uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate collagen production and cell proliferation. Along with Selphyl, Center For SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery offers Botox, Radiesse, Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Dysport, Xeomin, and Artefill. The Dermapen micro-needling device can be combined with Selphyl to treat acne scarring, stretch marks, fine lines, and wrinkles. Other laser treatments at Center For SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery include laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, spider vein therapy, CO2 laser skin aesthetics, Viora Reaction for skin tightening, and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) for sun spots, Rosacea, fine lines, even port wine birthmarks.
If you are in the market for a facial or peel, Center For SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery has some options to choose from. There are advanced chemical peels using the latest products. ThermiRF uses radio frequency waves for treatment. Microdermabrasion gently exfoliates to encourage new growth of cells. Skin care lines available include Topix, Neocutis, Tizo, Avene, and products formulated and patented by Dr. Goldfarb, such as NumaDerm scar cream, and Arnica Mist for bruise prevention.
For those who want something a little more extreme—eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), facelifts, rhinoplasty (nose revision), neck lifts, brow lifts, or otoplasty (ear surgery), Center For SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery has board certified plastic surgeon Aaron Shapiro, MD, on staff. Dr. Shapiro lectures around the world, and trains physicians in innovative facial plastic surgery procedures.
Breast enhancement is also performed by the doctors at Center For SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery. One option is natural breast augmentation—taking fat from the waist, hips, or thighs, and moving it to the breasts. Another choice is breast implants, using silicone or saline implants. If your breasts are saggy, breast lift surgery is available. And for those who curse their large breasts that cause back pain, breast reduction can be performed.
If you want to work on the rest of your body, Center For SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery offers liposuction and body contouring procedures, such as butt lifts. Custom Acoustic Liposuction,Vaser Liposelection, and SmartLipo are among the liposuction techniques offered. Dr. Goldfarb was one of the first doctors in the country to offer SmartLipo. Performed under local anesthesia, like most procedures at the Center, SmartLipo has little downtime, no stitches, minimal bruising, and offers up to 70 percent improvement in skin tightening and appearance of stretch marks and cellulite. The doctors also can do tummy tucks (abdominoplasty).
Center For SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery is located at 940 Town Center Drive, Suite F20, Langhorne, PA 19047. Their phone number is 215-702-1200. Visit them online on Facebook or www.centerforsmartlipo.com.
