Michigan Plastic Surgery Experiences Uptick as Warmer Weather Approaches

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. - April 3, 2014 - PRLog -- It's been a brutal winter, so it's no surprise that the approaching warm-weather days have inspired Michiganders to put away their heavy coats, open the windows and, yes, call their local plastic surgeons to schedule non-surgical procedures with no downtime.

"Ultherapy has become one of the nation's most popular non-surgical treatments for sagging skin of the face and neck," says Dr. William J. Vasileff, one of the leading plastic surgeons in Michigan and founder of the Birmingham Institute of Plastic Surgery. "My patients love it because it's an FDA-approved, non-surgical skin tightening procedure that is performed right in the office with no anesthesia."

Dr. Vasileff notes that many patients are choosing to combine Ultherapy with VIPEEL, a chemical peel that is suitable for all skin types and corrects damage from the environment and sun, reduces the signs of aging and helps clear acne.

"Combining Ultherapy (http://www.drvasileff.com/skin-care/ultherapy.cfm) with a VIPEEL maximizes facial rejuvenation. While the treatments can't achieve the same results as surgery, they're highly effective for men and women who want to look younger but aren't quite ready for surgery," he adds.

Dr. Vasileff (http://www.drvasileff.com/plastic-surgeon/) urges anyone in Michigan seeking plastic surgery to select a doctor who is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), the organization that certifies plastic surgeons. When your surgeon says that he or she is "board certified," it does not necessarily mean ABPS-certified, so be sure to check. And, even then, it's important to ask about your surgeon's training, hospital privileges and professional memberships.
