Breast Reduction - Breasts that are too large can cause more than just a body-image problem. This is a condition that can cause pain and discomfort, impairing a person's ability to lead an active life. Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue and reshapes the contour of the breasts so that they are smaller and perkier. Breast reduction in men and teenage boys, known as gynecomastia, has been shown to improve self-image. Some insurance may cover surgery.

Nose Surgery - Rhinoplasty or cosmetic correction of the appearance of the nose can be performed with techniques that allow recontouring in a natural way. Often breathing problems and nasal congestion can be improved at the same time, providing both a practical and aesthetic benefit to the patient. Some insurance may cover surgery to alleviate breathing problems, or trauma.

Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) - Prominent ears can be a source of ridicule and embarrassment, particularly for children. The problem is usually a lack of adequate folding of the ear cartilage such that instead of folding back on itself, the ear cartilage continues as a large bowl-shape. The prominent ear can be surgically corrected to a more aesthetically pleasing shape with a lower profile from the head. During the procedure, through an incision behind the ear, the cartilage is reshaped to the desired contour, using stitches placed in the rear of the ear, which do not show after surgery.
