• Breast Surgery

  Breast Surgery In Washington DC Each year, many patients undergo some form of breast surgery. These procedures can improve your self-image, relieve back pain, or help you recover lost breast volume after breastfeeding. Breast Surgery in Washington DC offers various procedures, including breast augmentation, breast reduction, revision breast reconstruction, and breast lifts to restore fullness. The decision to have breast surgery is an important one, and the reasons behind that decision range from cosmetic to structural. Dr. Troy Pittman, a Board-Certified plastic surgeon, and one of the best in the DC region according to Modern Luxury DC Magazine, performs breast surgeries as outpatient procedures. Depending on your health and what you are looking to get out of this experience, our caring team can help develop treatment plans that give you a lead role in sculpting your desired look. Breast Augmentation Breast augmentation, or an augmentation mammoplasty, is the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedure. This surgical procedure is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. It can increase the breast size with the help of implants or even your own fat cells. Patients who seek this type of surgery often wish to increase the volume and fullness of their breasts and improve the aesthetic balance. If implants are used, Dr. Pittman makes an incision in areas over or under the chest’s pectoral muscles to limit visible incisions and places either silicone implants, saline implants, or fat tissue transferred from elsewhere to augment breast volume and appearance. If you had implants inserted previously, but you want to remove them for one reason or another, Dr. Pittman also provides an implant removal option that can reduce the volume while still retaining the overall shape. Breast Reduction Breast reduction, or a reduction mammoplasty, involves removing extra fat, breast tissue, and skin from the breasts to reduce the size. This procedure is typically requested by Washington DC patients who suffer from back pain, neck pain, or other discomforts due to oversized breasts. Dr. Pittman most commonly performs a superomedial breast reduction which maintains the volume in the upper inner part of the breast and removes excess tissue in the side and bottom of the breast. This advanced breast reduction technique allows for the maintenance of volume in the upper part of the breast over time. Breast reduction surgery can boost a woman’s self-esteem and help relieve the chronic issues and discomfort associated with oversized breasts. A reduction surgery is also available for men who are dissatisfied with the size of their breasts or suffer from a condition known as gynecomastia. Revision Breast Reconstruction Patients in Washington DC who have had one or both breasts altered due to cancer, or some other event, may be best served in choosing revision breast reconstruction surgery to ensure symmetry. This could include a lift, reduction, or augmentation to promote a shapely appearance. Breast Lift A breast lift, also called a mastopexy, is a surgical procedure where Dr. Pittman lifts the breasts by removing redundant skin and tightening the surrounding tissues. This creates a firmer and more youthful appearance. You might be a prime candidate for this surgery if you think that your breasts are sagging too low or you are self-conscious about downward-facing the nipples. A breast lift can boost self-confidence and offer a firmer look but will not change the breasts’ overall size. It is possible for a breast lift to be done together with an augmentation with implants.

• Facial Plastic Surgery

  Facial Plastic Surgery In Washington DC The goal of facial plastic surgery in Washington DC, is to reshape facial features – such as the nose, cheeks, ears, chin, forehead and neck – in a way that presents a younger, slimmer, and more proportional look. You may want to change your appearance after an injury, to alter a congenital issue, to combat the effects of aging, or to correct facial irregularities. Once you have decided which procedure is the answer to your cosmetic needs, consult with Dr. Michael Somenek, a board-certified plastic surgeon, to discuss the benefits, expectations, and potential risks. He is one of the most trusted authorities on facial surgeries and will be your guide on your journey to enrich your physical appearance. Surgical Facelifts A facelift (rhytidectomy) can help address and correct visible signs of aging by removing excess and lax skin in the face and neck areas. A facelift involves re-draping the facial skin and smoothing the jawline to create a more toned and youthful look to the face. Facelifts can be performed in combination with other facial cosmetic procedures. Dr. Somenek has also created a mini-facelift if you are only looking for small adjustments for your facial plastic surgery in Washington DC. Rhinoplasty Dr. Somenek specializes in rhinoplasties and has trained under some of the best in the world. Nasal surgery can shape the nose and correct structural and functional issues to make it more visually appealing. For example, a rhinoplasty procedure can straighten a crooked nose, remove an unwanted hump, or create a more refined profile. If you are unhappy with a prior procedure from another clinic, we also offer revision rhinoplasties. Eyelid and Brow Lifts If others often accidently mistake you for being angry, then a brow lift, or forehead lift, can provide a remedy by lifting the brow and smoothing out wrinkled areas of the forehead. For many, the first signs of aging appear in the areas around the eyes. Eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty) can help eliminate the appearance of tired-looking, heavy, or puffy eyelids. This procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis in our DC practice, using intravenous sedation or a local anesthetic. Dr. Somenek makes incisions along the eyelids’ natural folds, rendering them virtually invisible. As people often look us in the eyes when they meet us for the first time, a brow or eyelid lift is a great way to leave a positive first impression. Scar Revision and Hair Restoration Scar revision procedures can help conceal unsightly scars, with results contingent upon your skin type and the size and location of the scar. While a scar cannot be completely removed, we can conceal or reposition it to your satisfaction. Hair loss is one of the body processes that concerns people the most – especially because it is not easy to hide. Dr. Somenek is knowledgeable about numerous causes of hair loss, as well as potential treatments for regrowth. Set up a consultation with him to receive a personalized treatment plan that can restore volume and length to your hair. Other Facial Augmentations in Washington DC There are many ways of rejuvenating your look through local facial plastic surgery. Are you sensitive about the shape and size of your chin or ears? You do not have to worry about those irregularities anymore if you choose to receive a chin augmentation or an otoplasty (ear surgery) which can adjust them into a more appealing shape. To reverse the effects of earring damage, you can ask us about earlobe repair as well. If you are aiming for a more attractive smile, an upper lip lift surgery or a simple lip augmentation can work wonders. When combined with a buccal fat pad reduction in the cheeks, you will want to show off a brand-new smile that will light up the room. Beautify Your Appearance with Facial Plastic Surgery in Washington DC If you are considering facial plastic surgery in Washington DC, we are ready to welcome you and discuss how best to achieve your goals. Dr. Somenek and our friendly staff can work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that caters to your body. Reach out to us today to set up an initial consultation.

• Rhinoplasty Surgery

  Rhinoplasty Surgery In Washington DC Rhinoplasty is a facial surgery procedure that is performed on people of all ages. Some seek this procedure because they are unhappy with the nose they were born with or with the manner in which aging has changed their nose. Nothing has a greater impact on how a person looks than the size and shape of the nose. Because the nose is the most defining characteristic of the face, a slight alteration using nasal surgery can greatly improve one’s appearance. If you are dissatisfied with how your nose looks, seek out a Washington DC rhinoplasty procedure. What Is a Rhinoplasty Procedure Meant to Do? Some of the features that one may look to correct are the nasal profile, a bulbous tip, a crooked nose, or a deviated septum. For others, an injury may have distorted the nose and caused permanent deformity. In addition to desiring a cosmetic improvement to the nose, some may also be looking to improve obstructed breathing. Meet Your Rhinoplasty Surgeon This is one of the most complex and intricate procedures of the face. For this reason, one should go to a surgeon with a great deal of experience and knowledge of this procedure. Dr. Michael Somenek is specially trained in plastic surgery of the face with a particular focus on rhinoplasty in Washington DC. Dr. Michael Somenek headshot Dr. Somenek has extensive training and experience with this surgery. His fellowship training was under the tutelage of some of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in the country, Drs. Regan Thomas and Dean Toriumi at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Since 2018, Washingtonian Magazine has named him a Top Doctor and highlighted him as the “Face of Rhinoplasty.” Even more importantly, patients have taken notice too – Somenek+Pittman MD was the 2021 readers’ choice for plastic surgery and MedSpa services in DC Modern Luxury Magazine. Dr. Somenek brings a unique perspective and understands how to not only make the nose look good but also preserve the structure for long-lasting and satisfactory results for the patient. Due to his vast expertise, Dr. Somenek is often sought by patients for some of the most complex rhinoplasty cases. Dr. Somenek is truly an artist and a master at what he does. I came in for a revision rhinoplasty and he fixed my deviated septum, added structure inside using ear cartilage, and created symmetry in my nostrils. I am less than three weeks out from my surgery and have zero swelling- my nose looks and feels fantastic. I am beyond happy with my results and couldn’t recommend Dr. Somenek and his team more. The office team is very warm, helpful and organized. The surgical suite is an oasis and I felt extremely comfortable before and after my surgery. Truly couldn’t be happier with my results. Thank you Dr. Somenek and his A-Team! – Elizabeth Before the Rhinoplasty Surgery During the initial consultation, Dr. Somenek uses this time to understand your motivation and expectations for nasal surgery. It is an opportunity to develop a mutual level of trust and understanding. A detailed physical examination is performed to determine the areas that will require correction in the nose to provide the best results. Dr. Somenek will go over a thorough list of expectations and risks that are involved in surgery. He will explain the various structures in the nose, including bone and cartilage, and how sculpting these can alter the appearance of the nose. Photos will be taken of the patient’s face, and with the help of sophisticated imaging software, computer imaging will be performed. This will aid in creating realistic expectations for the patient that are in line with the patient’s needs and desires based on their individual anatomy. In addition, Dr. Somenek may suggest other procedures such as chin augmentation and blepharoplasty surgery that can enhance the overall harmony of the face. It is always beneficial for the patient to compile a list of questions to ask during the consultation, as this can clarify any concerns about the procedure and help better delineate if your expectations are in line with Dr. Somenek’s aesthetic goals for your nose. Dr. Somenek believes in creating a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing nose for the patient. Rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult operations in facial plastic surgery. The difficulty lies in the anatomy of the nose, as this varies from patient to patient. For this reason, Dr. Somenek creates an individualized surgical plan for each patient and utilizes comprehensive techniques to achieve this plan. Different Approaches to Rhinoplasty Since rhinoplasty procedures are individualized to a patient’s unique nasal structure and cosmetic goals, the operation could take several possible approaches to facilitate different results.

• Body Sculpting

  Body Sculpting In Washington DC Body sculpting involves surgical procedures that eliminate excess fat, providing patients with a way to achieve a slimmer, more contoured look. Body sculpting in Washington DC offers services such as liposuction, arm and thigh lifts, and other procedures that help patients to achieve the appearance they are looking for. Dr. Troy Pittman is a well-respected, Board-Certified plastic surgeon who was named one of the best plastic surgeons by Modern Luxury DC Magazine. His primary goal is to leave you feeling excited and satisfied with your newly-contoured figure. How Does Body Sculpting Work in DC? Body sculpting can help qualified patients who have maximized their ability to eliminate body fat areas through regular diet and exercise. Depending on your goals, Dr. Pittman may recommend surgical or non-surgical options. For healthy patients who cannot get rid of body fat in certain areas, surgery may be the most effective and efficient option to removing or reducing it. Surgical procedures involve general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep during the process. You will consult with Dr. Pittman and his staff ahead of any Washington DC body sculpting surgery to ensure that all the risks and recovery times are understood. Liposuction and Tummy Tucks Liposuction is recommended for those who want to eliminate excess fat that covers a specific area of the body, as this method can remove about ten times more fat than non-invasive procedures. Liposuction effectively removes high volumes of fat in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and back. Although some of the non-surgical options provide a way of removing excess fat with less downtime, they do not provide the same dramatic results as liposuction. A tummy tuck, by contrast, removes fat as well as the excess skin that remains. We can provide further materials that can help you decide which surgery is right for your situation. What is VASER Liposuction? VASERlipo is an advanced form of liposuction that uses ultrasound energy to melt unwanted fat. The benefit of this technology is that it can help with tightening loose skin and fat removal with less post-operative swelling and bruising. Arm and Thigh Lifts Many people are embarrassed by the buildup of fat and skin on their arms and thighs, which can often be a distraction from the full body figure. You can reduce the thickness in these areas by getting an arm lift or a thigh lift surgery from Dr. Pittman. Once the recovery is complete, you will be more likely to want to show off your body in a bathing suit without having to worry about how your arms and legs look. Mommy Makeovers When entering motherhood, many women are disappointed to see what happens to their bodies, both during and after the pregnancy. Our Washington DC body contouring clinic is proud to offer an all-encompassing package known as the mommy makeover. If you choose to get a mommy makeover, you will receive a tailor-made plan that can address anything from breast lifts or augmentation, to a tummy tuck, to a VASER treatment that addresses excess skin on other parts of your body. You should not have to sacrifice your looks in order to start a family. Discover the Possibilities of Body Sculpting in Washington DC If you are looking for options to reduce stubborn fat areas, and you have tried both diet and exercise, the team from Somenek + Pittman MD are happy to help. Dr. Pittman can discuss the best available options for body sculpting in Washington, DC and develop an individualized treatment plan that can help you reach your goal of a slimmer figure.

• Non-Surgical Procedures

  Non-Surgical Procedures In Washington DC There are several choices available if you are looking to enhance your appearance without the use of surgery. Although they are not as comprehensive as full surgeries, non-surgical procedures in Washington DC are perfect for someone who is looking for a quick and easy rejuvenation with minimal downtime rather than an all-encompassing surgical makeover. Whether you are seeking to upgrade the appearance of your face, arms, or skin, Somenek + Pittman MD offers a wide variety of non-invasive options. These procedures are recommended if you would like to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet and wrinkles around your eyes and mouth, eliminate hyperpigmentation or age spots, firm up areas of lax skin, or reduce the appearance of a double chin. Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons Dr. Michael Somenek and Dr. Troy Pittman are happy to meet with you and discover the best way to revitalize and rejuvenate your skin. Discover what makes them two of the best plastic surgeons according to Modern Luxury DC Magazine. Botox and Other Wrinkle Removers Botox injections and Dysport injections are popular for patients wanting to eliminate wrinkles, crow’s feet, and fine lines on the face. The active agent in Botox and Dysport consists of the botulinum toxin, which acts to relax wrinkles and prevent them from becoming more profound and noticeable. truSculptID Body Contouring This procedure is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction which uses radiofrequency energy to heat fat cells under the skin, melting the fat in the treated area. This way, fat cells are permanently removed and are unable to grow back. truSculptID can be used to eliminate fat beneath the chin, the abdomen, inner thighs, and back. truSculptFLEX Muscle Contouring This is a non-surgical muscle stimulating treatment which helps to sculpt and build muscles in the abdomen, legs, arms, and buttocks. The 45-minute non-invasive treatment is equivalent to doing about 30,000 sit-ups or squats. Facial Procedures Some patients are candidates for a little bit of work on the face but without the full surgical procedure. A liquid facelift consists of dermal injections that can plump up your facial features in one quick session. If your concern is with the so-called “double chin,” you could benefit from getting a Kybella injection, of which Dr. Somenek was one of the first in the DC area to provide. Skin Management Somenek + Pittman MD is excited offer skin resurfacing treatments in the form of micro-needling devices that utilize radiofrequency to address many of the skin problems that you might be concerned about. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion, meanwhile, remove aged and damaged skin cells to reveal younger-looking, healthier skin and improve areas affected by acne or acne scarring. It can also improve pigmentation problems, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and restore a more youthful appearance to sun-damaged skin. FraxisPRO is a useful option for patients seeking to reduce wrinkles, pigmentation changes, and age spots, while tightening the skin and reducing visible scars. If you are embarrassed by excessive underarm perspiration, you can eliminate it by seeking out the revolutionary miraDry sweat treatment, which eliminates 85% of underarm sweat and odor after one 45-minute treatment. Volume Fillers Dermal fillers are injectables that can restore volume to the cheeks, enhance the lips, and smooth out wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected in target areas under the skin and are a popular and cost-effective choice for those seeking a more youthful look. Among the products we provide are: BellafillJuvedermRadiesseRestylaneSculptra If you have questions about the benefits of dermal fillers, be sure to read about Dr. Somenek’s facial filler philosophy.

• Acne Scar Treatment

  Acne Scar Treatment Procedure In Washington DC As much as you would like to forget your acne from early adulthood, your face remembers. Although your acne may be long gone, its scars can hang around. You may notice that you have multiple types of scars on your own face. Inflammation plays a leading role in the formation of scars. The inflammation caused by acne can impact the healing process and diminish the amount of helpful collagen that occurs naturally in skin. The result is the uneven, pitted (atrophic) appearance of acne scars. While scars may fade over time, they often do not go away completely without help. There are several non-surgical acne scar treatments in Washington DC and these largely depend on the type of scar and how many there are. BellaFill for Acne Therapy Bellafill® fades acne scars by adding volume to them, bringing them to the level of the surrounding skin and keeping them there through one year. This is the first and only injectable filler that’s FDA approved to treat acne scars. Bellafill® reduces the look of acne scars in two ways. Its remarkably small polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres are suspended in a smooth collagen gel. The diameter of each microsphere is less than that of a human hair, so they are not visible to the naked eye. This volume enhancer is able to provide an immediate improvement with no downtime associated with it. The PMMA microspheres form a supportive scaffold to allow your own collagen to build upon. As the gel breaks down over time, your collagen forms a foundation that adds volume to the acne scars providing a sustained improvement that can last. This is a great nonsurgical alternative that allows you to feel less self-conscious. It restores rather than just fills for natural-looking, enduring results. Microneedling with PRP Microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been shown to reduce the appearance of the acne scars. Over a series of three treatments, the microneedles stimulate collagen production and soften the appearance of atrophic acne scars. With the addition of PRP, this can speed the healing process as well as encourage collagen production by infusing vital growth factors into the scar regions. Dr. Somenek also incorporates radiofrequency technology into the acne scar treatment at his Washington DC clinic. This heats the underlying tissues simultaneously and further stimulates collagen production. Serial Excision For individuals that have ice pick scars that are typically resistant to filler or other treatments, performing controlled punch excisions is a great alternative to permanently remove them. You are essentially exchanging a depressed scar for a well formed, almost imperceptible scar. This is performed in the office under local anesthesia and requires no downtime. Learn More About Acne Scar Treatment in Washington DC Acne therapy is a common non-surgical treatment that patients seek out to rejuvenate their skin. Contact us to discuss which type of acne scar treatment in Washington DC is the best option for you. Check out some of our work with these before and after galleries for acne scar treatment.

• Facelift Surgery

  Facelift Surgery In Washington DC A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is one of the most common facial plastic surgeries that Dr. Michael Somenek performs and can provide a remarkable improvement in your appearance. A facelift in Washington DC is recommended for patients who are concerned about saggy or loose skin and loss of facial muscle tone. As we age, skin tone and elasticity begin to decrease. When this is combined with changes in facial fat and loss of collagen, it translates to an aged face that lacks the characteristics of youth. A facelift can correct these by removing excess skin from the face and neck and by sculpting the underlying tissues and muscles in your jaw, cheek, and neck area. In contrast to the traditional “skin tightening” that surgeons used to do years ago, newer and more sophisticated techniques have been developed to re-drape the skin so that it appears younger and smoother. Areas that are addressed by a facelift include: JawlineProminent jowlsExcess neck skinSubmental fat and fullnessLoose and sagging skin A patient before a facelift. a patient after a facelift. Dr. Somenek’s Facelift Approach As a facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Somenek applies the most advanced principles to create a refreshed appearance with longer-lasting results. Dr. Somenek’s philosophy is to create a natural look for the patient, avoiding an abnormal hairline or sideburns and the “pulled-back look” that some people develop postoperatively. He consistently discusses this concept with his patients during their consultation and explains that they will look and feel refreshed. If you are unhappy with the lower two-thirds of your face including changes in your neck, Dr. Somenek may suggest you undergo a facelift in our Washington DC office. For patients with minimal skin laxity along the jawline, Dr. Somenek may suggest his Mini Facelift technique. Assessing the entire face is essential to maintain overall harmony and proportions which is why Dr. Somenek will frequently combine other procedures to strengthen your chin and improve your brow or eye area. Every patient that undergoes a Washington DC facelift procedure wants to know how long the results will last. Dr. Somenek explains that every procedure is different and depends on a variety of factors, including genetics, environmental factors, and how you take care of yourself. Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Facelift in Washington DC? A facelift can be a good option for Washington DC men and women of any age who would like to improve the appearance of loose facial skin or jowling in addition to excessive and lax skin in the neck. Also, those who have undergone multiple non-surgical treatments like injectables, lasers, etc. and don’t feel like they are able to get the rejuvenation that they are looking for may benefit from a facelift. Dr. Somenek sees many patients that have been doing fillers and Botox for years that feel like they have peaked with the type of result they are getting. Understanding that there are limits to the non-surgical alternatives is essential to understanding expectations to get the result that you want. Those in good health with reasonable expectations for a realistic outcome from surgery are also ideal candidates. Living a healthy lifestyle will always lead to better results as your skin and the underlying tissues have an improved capacity to heal. Your Facelift Consultation with Dr. Somenek Before you schedule your surgery, you will have a thorough consultation with Dr. Somenek. He will assess all aspects of your facial features to determine the best manner in which to achieve a rejuvenated appearance and maintain harmony with the rest of your face. As a leading expert in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Somenek believes that assessment of the elasticity and support of the underlying structures is a critical aspect of the consultation. This will help Dr. Somenek select the appropriate technique for your individual situation in order to provide you with beautiful and long-lasting results. He will discuss the necessary techniques with you to be sure that you understand each step of the process. During your consultation, Dr. Somenek will provide a portfolio of before-and-after cases for your review. You will also have the opportunity to discuss other procedures that are commonly combined with a facelift, like eyelid surgery and fat grafting. Many patients decide to address multiple areas of their face when they get a facelift in Washington DC because each individual procedure comes with its own downtime. Because of this, combining procedures minimizes the amount of downtime needed if you were to get each procedure done individually. In some patients, addressing multiple areas creates a more uniform and balanced appearance to the face.

• Juvederm Procedure

  Juvederm Procedure In Washington DC Juvederm® is an injectable filler which can improve the appearance of deep facial wrinkles, folds, lines, and acne scars, enhance the lips, and contour facial features like the chin and cheeks. Juvederm® is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the skin that delivers nutrients and helps the skin retain moisture and softness, adding natural volume to the face. The results are very natural and long-lasting, with the effect remaining for six months or longer. The Juvederm product line contains injectable fillers that can be used for all areas of your face. Dr. Somenek will discuss the various options for you and explain what injectable filler would be best for the areas that need to be treated. About the Treatment Dr. Somenek and Dr. Pittman perform the Juvederm ® injection in their Washington DC office. Depending on the area being treated, the procedure can take as little as five minutes to as much as thirty minutes to complete. A topical or local anesthetic may first be administered for the patient’s comfort before injecting Juvederm® directly into the skin with the blunt tip microcannula technology that minimizes bruising and discomfort. Juvederm® has very few side effects. Some patients may experience redness or swelling at the injection site which can last for a few days. Nevertheless, work and other normal activities can be resumed right after treatment. Juvederm® is a safe and effective injectable that can be used for all skin types and colors and does not require prior testing. Juvederm Volbella Dr. Somenek and Dr. Pittman strive to offer the latest treatments for their patients. When it comes to improving the signs of aging around the lips, the doctors proudly offers Juvederm Volbella. Volbella is the latest injectable filler that is uniquely designed for the lips and the areas around the mouth. Patients who have wrinkles or fine lines around the mouth, decreased lip volume or poorly defined lips can make great candidates for this proven injectable filler. Like the other products in the Juvederm family, Juvederm Volbella contains Vycross™ technology to produce the most natural look and feel for patients. Volbella is also set apart by its ability to provide more long-term results compared to other lip fillers. As one of the thinnest fillers on the market, it is able to produce natural results with patients achieving their ideal lip volume and appearance for up to one year following treatment. Volbella is formulated using an ultra-smooth gel, which ensures your lips will feel soft and not look over-inflated or unnatural. As we age, our lips unfortunately lose volume. This is typically caused by depletion in hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring acid found in nearly every cell of your body. Juvederm Volbella XC is designed to replenish hyaluronic acid and reverse the effects of volume loss in the lips and around the mouth. Volbella helps to achieve: Naturally fuller lipsMore defined Cupid’s bowDecreasing the appearance of smokers linesRestoring lost volume to an aging lipAdding hydration to the lips Juvederm Voluma Juvederm Voluma is an injectable filler designed to treat volume loss in the mid face and cheek region. Unlike other facial fillers that only last a matter of months, it can last up to two years. Juvederm Voluma can be used on any patient with mid face volume loss. Voluma is comprised of hyaluronic acid like many other facial fillers, which is a naturally occurring substance in the skin. What sets Juvederm Voluma apart is its longevity and indication for mid-face volume loss. In clinical trials, it was shown to last up to two years which is a potential benefit for patients that don’t want frequent repeat injections. Dr. Somenek and Dr. Pittman use the blunt tip microcannula technique, which avoids bruising and minimizes discomfort for his patients. This method allows for less injection sites, which ultimately reduces trauma to the skin. There is reduced downtime with the cannula method used to inject Voluma, so patients will notice immediate results with very little bruising. Juvederm Voluma is placed in the upper cheek region and we work down the cheek into the midface region to restore lost volume. This creates a smooth transition from the cheek to the midface, maintaining a natural, rejuvenated appearance. Patients will look years younger immediately following treatment as volume is restored to areas of previous volume loss. The nasolabial folds, also known as “Smile Lines”, can be reduced by adding volume to the cheeks and midface. This treatment can be combined with other injectable fillers in other areas of the face to restore volume in all regions. Contact Us About Juvederm in Washington DC Today!

• Male Plastic Surgery

  Male Plastic Surgery In Washington DC Plastic surgery is not just for women. There are an increasing number of men that are seeking plastic surgery to enhance their appearance. As a matter of fact, about 40% of our patients at Somenek + Pittman MD are male. There are many procedures that can be tailored to provide men with cosmetic improvements that do not compromise the masculinity of their facial features or feminize the body. For some, cosmetic surgery can help them address a feature they wish to improve upon, such as a weak chin, a large hump on the nose, or problem issues with fat buildup on the chest or body. For others, cosmetic procedures can rejuvenate their appearance such as injectable fillers and wrinkle erasing treatments. It is no surprise that, just like women, men want to look refreshed and feel confident in their appearance too. Male plastic surgery in Washington DC can not only make you look younger and more attractive, but has been shown in several studies to make you more competitive in the workplace. Demystifying Male Plastic Surgery The number one concern that men share during consults is that they do not want to appear feminized or have the “done” look. It is important that you go to a surgeon that understands the features and nuances of the male face. Dr. Michael Somenek and Dr. Troy Pittman, both board-certified plastic surgeons, understand the unique approach and techniques used in local plastic surgery for men to bring them ideal results, while still preserving the masculine features that are considered attractive. As a specialist in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Somenek makes it his top priority to maintain a natural look on a male that preserves masculinity and exudes confidence. The “less is more” approach can make a world of difference on a male face by enhancing the natural contours with a conservative approach. When it comes to surgery of the chest and body, Dr. Pittman takes great care to devise a treatment plan that is tailor-made to meet each patient’s needs. Body-contouring in a male is a much different procedure than it is in a female. According to the American Association of Facial Plastic Surgery (AAFPRS), the most common cosmetic procedures that their members performed on male patients in 2010 were Botox, rhinoplasty, and hyaluronic acid injections like Restylane and Juvederm. Other common procedures included hair transplant surgery, blepharoplasty, scar revision, facelift surgery, and skin resurfacing techniques like chemical peels and laser treatments. Non-Surgical Procedures Dr. Somenek and Dr. Pittman perform many nonsurgical treatments to soften the facial features and refresh the male face. Neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport are extremely effective wrinkle reducing treatments. Injectable fillers like Restylane and Juvederm can restore volume deficiencies that develop with aging throughout the face. Dr. Somenek is an expert injector who trains physicians around the country on proper injection technique and restoring the appropriate facial proportions in male patients. Additionally, skin resurfacing procedures such as chemical peels and lasers can remove unwanted dark spots and sun damage that accumulate over the years. Non-surgical body-contouring options like TruSculptFLEX and TruSculptID offer a non-invasive way to sculpt muscles and/or get rid of unwanted fat. Facial Plastic Surgery Aside from the vast array of nonsurgical treatments that are available, there are several male plastic surgery options in DC for the face and body. By tailoring procedures such as rhinoplasty (reshaping of the nose), blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid lifts), and facelifts for men, we can correct the common concerns of aging and give men a more revitalized, defined, and handsome look. Dr. Somenek uses the conservative approach for all surgical procedures on a male face. The goal is to create a refreshed look without showing any signs that something was done. Dr. Somenek believes that the best compliment you can get is that you “look well rested,” and he ensures that this is achieved with all of his male patients. With improving facial rejuvenation techniques, males are now opting for surgical procedures like face and neck lifts, and eyelid surgery, and browlift. Eyelid surgery can improve the appearance of heavy or sagging eyelids while preserving the distinguishing fine lines around the eyes to contribute to a natural appearance. A facelift combined with liposuction to the neck can improve the contours and strengthen the jawline, a frequently associated feature of confidence and masculinity. Occasionally, this is combined with a chin augmentation to further strengthen the lower third of the face. As with all patients, Dr. Somenek stresses a good skin regimen and healthy lifestyle to compliment any nonsurgical or surgical treatment. He believes that this will truly optimize and, in some cases, prolong the effect of many treatments.

• Sculptra Procedure

  Sculptra Procedure In Washington DC Collagen is one of the main building blocks of our skin. As we age, we gradually lose collagen which leads to a loss in facial volume and creates the “deflated” look throughout the face. Many fillers exist to restore that volume, however not all treatments or injectables are created equal. Some target different areas of the face, and, more importantly, produce different effects. There are the hyaluronic acid fillers, like Restylane and Juvederm, that diminish lines by immediately restoring volume that can last up to a year. You could receive a Sculptra procedure in Washington DC. Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that is best described as an injectable collagen stimulator. It is composed of Poly-L lactic acid in the form of micro particles. After they are injected throughout the areas of the face that are volume deficient, they begin to stimulate collagen. This creates subtle volume enhancement in regions such as the temples, cheeks, and perioral region. It creates support to the underlying skin and provides the structural foundation that creates a youthful external look. What does the treatment consist of? The treatment consists of an injectable session where Dr. Somenek will inject Sculptra throughout the face using his blunt tip cannula technique to minimize the chances of bruising. Because Sculptra is mixed with water, there will be noticeable volume changes for most of the day. Once that water is resorbed by the body, the face will go back to baseline. However, those particles will begin to stimulate collagen over the next 4-6 weeks, creating natural volume enhancement throughout the face. Who is the ideal candidate? Almost anyone who is experiencing signs of aging and volume loss can benefit from noninvasive Sculptra Aesthetic. Potential patients should be in good health, understand the Sculptra treatment process, and hold realistic expectations for their results. It is important to remember that starting at the age of 30 we start to lose around 1% of our collagen on a yearly basis. Because of this, many start sooner than later with their injections for preventative maintenance. How many treatments will I need? Dr. Somenek will typically recommend 2-3 Sculptra treatment sessions in Washington DC, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Throughout that time gradual volume enhancement will occur throughout the face as well as increase in skin tone. How long will this last? Studies have demonstrated that the results last up to two years. Patients will typically do yearly injections to maintain the collagen enhancing changes to their face. What is the downtime? No downtime is required after a Sculptra Aesthetic treatment. Most patients are back to their normal schedule the same afternoon. Side-effects of Sculptra are generally mild. Mild bruising, swelling, itching, and redness are common. Patients should only seek treatment from an experienced, well-trained physician like Dr. Michael Somenek who trains others across the country how to use Sculptra. Sculptra is ideal for restoring healthy facial contours, smoothing deep lines, and lifting tissues without creating an “overdone” appearance. While Sculptra Aesthetic does not provide immediate results, in just a few weeks, most patients will notice improvement in facial lines and volume. Slowly rejuvenating the body’s own collagen production, the benefits of each session will continue to improve over the next several months.
