I’ve recently had the opportunity to utilize the LifeCell Revolve Fat Grafting System, an integrated and innovative fat processing device.  The Revolve is a single-use system, and allows for the processing of up to 800ml of fat in a closed and sterile system.  It utilizes a 200 micron mesh to strain fat, and allows an easy way to wash the fat prior to injection, to […]

I ran across this interesting article from the New York Times, reporting on temporary saline infiltration for breast augmentation. With this procedure, the breast is numbed while awake, and saline solution is infiltrated into the breast to simulate an increase in size. The body reabsorbs the fluid, and the breast returns to its normal shape and size within a day. Some physicians in NYC are […]

For non-surgical fat reduction, many of our patients at Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates are turning to CoolSculpting^®, and they are achieving significant results. CoolSculpting^® uses a targeted cooling process that kills the fat cells beneath the skin, literally freezing them to the point of elimination. Once fat cells are crystallized, the cells will die and exit the body through natural processes. CoolSculpting^® also […]

CoolSculpting^® may be an ideal treatment for our patients at Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates who have stubborn pockets of fat resistant to healthy diet and regular exercise. Though not intended to treat obesity, the procedure is designed to nonsurgically eliminate isolated fat build-ups in the entire abdomen area (from under the breast down to the waistline), love handles, hips, and bra line on […]

A common question that a patient may ask during a Las Vegas breast augmentation consultation, is “what is the difference between smooth and textured breast implants.” Some of the decision on what type of implant used may be based upon surgeon experience as well as your soft tissues and relevant anatomy. At Hankins and Sohn Plastic Surgery, we utilize both smooth and textured implants, depending […]

In our last blog post, Dr. W. Tracy Hankins and Dr. Samuel M. Sohn outlined the unique cosmetic advantages Thermage^® can provide. In this follow-up post, they will discuss how Thermage^® can be combined with other nonsurgical treatments as an effective alternative to surgery. With the one-on-one education we provide during the consultation process, our facial rejuvenation patients learn the advantages and disadvantages of a […]

Thermage^® – a noninvasive technique designed to stimulate the natural production of collagen – can be ideal for patients between ages 21-60 who seek to address fine lines, wrinkles, loose or sagging skin, uneven skin texture, or lost definition of the neck and jaw. Our Thermage^® CPT system with Comfort Pulse Technology^™ has significantly improved patient comfort and results for this procedure. This innovative technology […]

In our previous blog post, we discussed the Fraxel^® laser treatment’s unique ability to rejuvenate skin and produce the results of an ablative laser without the associated risk or downtime. In this follow-up post, we will take a closer look at the treatment and recovery. Safe and effective for all skin types, Fraxel^® laser treatment can be used to address mild to moderate photodamage/pigmentation, wrinkles, […]

At Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates, we offer a number of nonsurgical procedures to help patients achieve smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin. Traditionally, laser skin rejuvenation has relied on two methods of treatment: one using ablative lasers and one using non-ablative lasers. With our practice’s recent acquisition of the Fraxel^® DUAL 1550/1927 laser, patients now have the choice of a third type of treatment that […]
