Dr. Burnett’s Top 5 In-Office Procedures
A Personalized Approach to Looking and Feeling Your Best
At Burnett Plastic Surgery, I believe that achieving beautiful, natural-looking results begins with understanding each patient’s individual goals. Not everyone needs or wants surgery, and today’s advances in aesthetic medicine allow us to offer a variety of effective surgical and non-surgical treatments in Westfield, NJ. Whether the goal is to tighten skin, soften facial lines, improve contours, or restore facial volume, my priority is to recommend treatments that complement each patient’s natural features. Here are five in-office procedures that I believe offer exciting possibilities for patients seeking aesthetic improvements.
1. T-Shape 2: Non-Surgical Skin Tightening and Body Contouring
T-Shape 2 is the latest and greatest addition to my practice. It is an innovative, non-invasive treatment designed to improve the appearance of skin laxity, cellulite, and body contours. This technology combines radiofrequency, laser energy, and a mechanical massage to target areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, back, and face. I particularly appreciate T-Shape 2 because it offers patients an option for improving skin texture and firmness without surgery or significant downtime. Treatments are generally comfortable, and patients can usually return to their daily activities immediately. A series of treatments is recommended, and results vary depending on skin quality, treatment area, and individual goals.
2. BOTOX® Cosmetic: Refreshing Your Appearance Without Changing Your Expression
BOTOX® Cosmetic remains one of the best and most versatile non-surgical treatments available at my practice for softening expression lines and creating a refreshed appearance. It works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles that contribute to wrinkles, particularly around the forehead, between the eyebrows, and at the corners of the eyes. My approach to BOTOX® is conservative, customized, and individualized. I want my patients to look rested and refreshed while maintaining their natural expressions. Treatment typically takes only a few minutes, requires minimal downtime, and produces results that generally last three to four months. When administered thoughtfully, BOTOX® can provide subtle but noticeable improvements without dramatically changing the way you look.
3. VASER Liposuction: Precision Body Contouring
VASER liposuction is an advanced surgical body-contouring procedure that uses ultrasound energy to assist in breaking up unwanted fat before it is removed. I love this technology because it allows me to address localized fat deposits with precision and sculpt areas such as the abdomen, waist, back, and thighs. VASER Liposuction is especially appealing for patients who maintain a relatively stable weight but struggle with stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is important to understand that liposuction is a body-contouring procedure, not a weight-loss solution. Recovery varies depending on the extent of treatment, and swelling and bruising are expected. My goal is always to create balanced, natural-looking contours that complement the patient’s overall proportions.
4. Facial Fillers and Juvéderm SkinVive: Restoring Volume and Improving Skin Quality
Facial aging involves more than wrinkles. Over time, we also experience changes in facial volume, structure, and skin quality. Juvéderm hyaluronic acid fillers allow us to restore or enhance volume in carefully selected areas, such as the cheeks, lips, and jawline, depending on the product used.
SkinVive by Juvéderm serves a different purpose. Rather than adding significant volume, it is designed to improve skin smoothness and hydration in the cheeks through tiny injections of hyaluronic acid. I appreciate having both options because they allow us to address different aspects of facial aging. My philosophy is to use the appropriate product in the appropriate area, with the goal of achieving subtle, harmonious improvements while preserving each patient’s unique facial characteristics.
5. Chin and Neck VASER Liposuction: Refining the Jawline and Profile
The area beneath the chin and along the neck can have a significant impact on facial balance and definition. Even patients who are otherwise slender may develop a double chin that obscures the natural jawline. VASER liposuction allows me to target localized fat deposits in this area using ultrasound-assisted technology. For appropriately selected patients with good skin elasticity, reducing excess fat can create a more defined transition between the chin and neck. The procedure involves a recovery period, and temporary swelling, bruising, and compression garment use may be necessary. Because skin elasticity and underlying anatomy play important roles in the final result, a thorough consultation is essential to determine whether liposuction alone will achieve the patient’s desired outcome.
The Right Procedure Begins with the Right Conversation
One of the most important things I tell my patients is that there is no single treatment that is right for everyone. The best results come from selecting procedures based on individual anatomy, skin quality, expectations, and lifestyle. Whether you are interested in a subtle non-surgical refresh or a more significant improvement in body contours, our team at Burnett Plastic Surgery is committed to helping you make informed, confident decisions. I invite you to schedule a consultation at our Westfield, New Jersey practice to explore which treatment options may be right for you.
