Medical Weight Loss
A butt lift will define the curves and contour of your buttocks. Depending on your surgical goals, several different aesthetic techniques can be performed. If you have excess skin of the buttocks from weight loss, it is lifted and removed to maximize the new contour. Specially designed butt implants may be used to augment the size and shape of your buttocks. Fat injections from other areas of the body can also be used for augmentation and to enhance the buttock size. This procedure is often referred to as a Brazilian Butt Lift. See FAQs and before & after photos.

Ear Surgery
Ear surgery, improves the size, shape, or position of your ears. It can correct a deformity you were born with or a deformity caused by an injury. In adults, earlobe repair may be desired to close up the holes from the practice known as earlobe gauging or stretching of the earlobe. This may also be referred to as earlobe reduction surgery. Many women have damaged earlobes from wearing heavy earrings (stretched piercing) or from an earring being ripped from the earlobe (split earlobe). As we age earlobes may lose collagen and begin to sag, accentuating holes from earrings. In children, an otoplasty is commonly performed before they start school to prevent ridicule from other children. Being satisfied with the appearance of your ears can have a great effect on self-confidence. See our earlobe repair before & after photos and FAQs below.

Acne Treatment
Cyst
Lesions
BBL deposits pulses of light energy that gently heats the upper layers of skin. Within the skin, the light energy is absorbed by targets, such as fine, broken vessels that cause redness and brown spots or pigmented lesions that are caused by an overproduction of melanin. This scientific and biological process destroys the target, eliminating it from the skin and restoring it to its natural beauty, blending its natural tones, making it more vibrant and youthful in appearance and touch.
Chemical Peels
Chemical skin peels, or chemexfoliation, are a wonderful way to rejuvenate damaged or blemished skin on the face, neck, and décolleté. They can help diminish the appearance of fine lines, age spots and other types of skin discolorations. While these treatments are non-invasive, they are not designed for home use. In Massachusetts, chemical peels are correctly considered medical procedures and must be performed by, or under the direction or supervision of, a licensed medical practitioner. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) recommends that this procedure be performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Johnson, to avoid complications. Please see our three new ZO® Ossential Stimulator, Hydration, and Acne facial peel spa treatments below. We also offer mybody and Obagi peels.
