- Medical Weight LossEven with a rigorous diet and exercise, fat deposits in your arms are one of the most difficult areas to target. If you also have excess skin left over after weight loss, it can be nearly impossible to achieve the trim figure you want without surgery.

- General SurgeryDr. Kopchinski has been practicing surgery since 1998. In 2008, he became board certified. Never satisfied, our surgeon went beyond board certification by becoming a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. To earn this great honor, Dr. Kopchinski had to summarize a year's worth of surgical procedures, demonstrate exemplary ethics and skill, and receive references from existing fellows and the chief of surgical services at his hospital.
- BotoxBOTOX Cosmetic is derived from a naturally occurring substance called botulinum toxin. Essentially, BOTOX Cosmetic blocks nerve signals to certain muscles, making it temporarily impossible for them to contract. By immobilizing underlying facial muscles, BOTOX can diminish or eliminate lines and wrinkles on your face and smooth your skin.
- Eyelid SurgeryIf you are concerned about facial aging and desire a more youthful appearance (facial rejuvenation), then a facelift (rhytidectomy) may be the answer. Evaluation of facial aging takes into account the areas around the eyes, cheek and mouth, and the neck. Signs of facial aging may be seen in all these areas due to excess skin, descent of the underlying soft tissues or loss of subcutaneous fat. These changes with aging result in tired eyes, loss of cheek prominence, deep nasolabial or cheek folds, marionette lines, loss of lower jawline contour (jowling), wrinkles of the skin, and banding of the neck. A facelift addresses the signs of facial aging by removing excess skin and suspending the soft tissues below the skin to a more youthful position. Adjunct procedures may include upper and lower eyelid surgery, fat or dermal filler injections, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or JUVEDERM® Voluma XC, and neck liposuction.

- Thigh LiftUpper thigh fat is extremely resistant to diet and exercise. A thigh lift can remove excess fat and skin from the outer and inner thighs, giving your legs a shapelier, more contoured look.
- Face LiftFacelift surgery is performed as an outpatient or overnight stay procedure. A post operative garment will be placed and used for one week after surgery. After the operation it is recommended that you sleep with your head elevated and use an ice pack or bag of frozen peas intermittently during the first couple of days. Prescription for pain medication will be provided. A patient can usually return to work after two weeks. Follow up is within 1 week, one month, and then at three months after surgery.

- Physical Therapy[00:00:08.157] Breast reduction surgery. [00:00:09.700] We're talking about is mainly for two different reasons. [00:00:12.643] One is your breasts a little bit larger [00:00:14.459] and you just like to make them a little smaller [00:00:16.400] and improve the shape in the nipple position. [00:00:19.360] If the insurance covers it, [00:00:21.326] then you're looking at a significant breast reduction, [00:00:24.714] in which case a certain amount of weight has to be obtained from each breast [00:00:28.829] to ensure that the insurance company will pay for it. [00:00:33.000] The two procedures that are used for breast reduction, [00:00:36.036] are the same two procedures that are used for breast lift. [00:00:38.840] You have the Wise pattern, which is the old school, tried and true, [00:00:42.114] and then you have the newer vertical breast lift or breast reduction. [00:00:46.200] The only difference between the two, is the amount of breast tissue you remove. [00:00:50.525] The best clients for a true breast reduction, [00:00:54.300] are those patients that are having the back and neck pain, [00:00:58.101] that are having difficulty doing things on a daily basis. [00:01:01.442] They don't like going to the gym, they don't like walking, [00:01:05.720] they have shoulder grooving from their bra straps. [00:01:09.000] They've tried the physical therapy and none of this seems to work. [00:01:15.000] The length of time to perform a breast reduction procedure [00:01:18.715] depends on the amount of breast tissue being removed, [00:01:21.871] and which type of reductive surgery you're doing. [00:01:25.000] The recovery for breast reduction procedures is very quick. [00:01:29.586] Usually, it takes about a week for the patients to get over this.
