Breast Augmentation
Dr. Capizzi has built a trusted reputation as the best breast augmentation surgeon in the state, due to his lifelong dedication to aesthetic perfection and finely honed surgical skill, coupled with a willingness to cater exclusively to each individual woman's ideal result rather than generic trends. Based on her unique physique, medical history and lifestyle, each outcome is customized to the client's express wishes, producing a silhouette that is natural, beautiful and supple with minimal recovery time and healing.
Dr. Capizzi specializes in Gummy Bear Implants.
"The Gummy Bear" is the affectionate nickname given to the newest type of silicone breast implant on the market, one that has quickly become the gold standard for surgeons and patients alike. Approved by the FDA in 2013, this superior fifth generation gel implant is remarkable for its tapered, tear-drop shape and supple, cohesive texture, both of which perfectly mimic the natural contour and feel of the female breast.
Despite efforts to exercise and lead a healthy lifestyle, the ravages of gravity and aging on the female breast are inevitable. Sagging, drooping or deflated breasts, sometimes the result of pregnancy or breastfeeding, can significantly affect a woman's appearance and self-esteem. Fortunately, these problems are reversible, thanks to a procedure known as Mastopexy, or the Breast Lift.
With thousands of successful surgical breast procedures under his belt, Dr. Capizzi NC's breast lift specialist, and as such is able to restore volume and youthfulness to breasts of all conditions. A breast lift consists of raising and reshaping the bust, and this procedure is often wisely complemented by a breast augmentation, or a complete mommy makeover. A mastopexy, with or without implants, can dramatically alter your profile, reviving breast firmness and perkiness while boosting confidence and even making clothes fit better.
There are several types of breast lifts that Dr. Capizzi is able to perform:
Mini Lift
Benelli Lift
Periareolar Lift
Minimal Circumareolar Lift
Full Lift
Full Mastopexy
Breast revisions are performed when the client is not happy with the size, shape, symmetry or placement of her implants; when the implants have ruptured or leaked; when a significant amount of weight has been lost or gained; or when a patient has suffered from breast cancer.
As each breast revision procedure presents a unique set of variables to be corrected, Dr. Capizzi will naturally tailor his surgical approach accordingly. In most cases, the doctor is able to utilize the original incision point as a means of avoiding further scarring. Issues such as capsular contracture respond particularly well to this approach. If a breast lift is recommended in conjunction with a revision, Dr. Capizzi may extend the incision to produce the ideal outcome.
Some other common revision techniques may involve improvements to the implant pocket; fat grafting; and reinforcement with Seri, a biodegradable silk mesh material that acts like human breast tissue. Additionally, Dr. Capizzi is highly versed in Acellular Dermis, an innovative procedure to reinforce and regenerate soft tissue.
Breast cancer is one of the most difficult and life-changing illnesses a woman will ever face. A mastectomy is usually performed by doctors as a last resort and can be devastating, as breasts are universally recognized symbols of femininity and motherhood. Emotions can be overwhelming when considering breast reconstruction, yet grief quickly gives way to hope and healing through this amazing, cutting-edge procedure, given the right surgeon.
From the start of his career, Dr. Capizzi has distinguished himself as a leader in championing the newest breakthroughs in the breast reconstruction arena. His remarkable skill and ingenuity in tackling this most challenging, complicated procedure has earned him the honor of being chosen as a partner by NC’s leading general surgeons. Dr. Capizzi is part of a comprehensive team of hospital-based physicians, who together have dedicated their practices to achieving spectacular, game-changing results for survivors of breast cancer.
Clients regard Dr. Peter Capizzi as the the breast reduction surgeon in the state attributing their newfound freedom, levity and sense of relief to his outstanding surgical skill and artistic vision. Dr. Capizzi and his staff offer a discreet, relaxing environment where each woman can explore her options and make the right choices for her goals and lifestyle.
During your consultation, the doctor will listen to your concerns, take your measurements, review your medical records and photos, and make his best recommendations for a successful procedure. Sometimes Dr. Capizzi will suggest a breast lift in conjunction with a breast reduction, especially in cases where childbirth, breastfeeding, age or weight fluctuations have resulted in significant sagging.
Breast fat enhancement injections are an excellent choice for anyone unhappy with the shape, volume, symmetry or voluptuousness of their breasts, but they are an especially good fit for women over 30 who are experiencing decreased elasticity and sagging, or who may have had more than one pregnancy. This procedure is ideal for those who only wish to increase their bust by one or two cup sizes. However, fat injections can be combined with a breast lift, a traditional breast augmentation with implants, or breast revisions, to create a total breast makeover with spectacular results. Additionally, because fat grafting may involve liposuction, clients can experience the added slimming benefit of body contouring.
An abdominoplasty, more commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a safe and highly effective procedure performed to reduce excess stomach fat, tone loose, sagging skin, and refine laxity in the abdominal wall. Factors that may determine a good candidate for an abdominoplasty include significant weight loss, pregnancies, previous stomach surgeries that need to be corrected, and the effects of age and gravity on the body.
Tummy tucks are often accompanied by liposuction in the back, waist, thighs or buttocks area for a more complete body contouring makeover. Because body types and target regions for improvement vary so much from patient to patient, a surgeon will advise on one of five types of tummy tucks: endoscopic, mini, moderate, full and circumferential. The ideal procedure that is right for you will be determined and discussed at length during your initial consultation.
Always on the forefront of medical and surgical advances in the industry, Dr. Capizzi is able to offer his patients the very latest liposuction techniques available, including Power-Assisted Liposuction from Microaire, Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction, and Laser Liposuction. In all cases, incisions are minimal, thanks to the use of “microrco-cannulas,” or minute, precision devices that function as tiny straws in order to suction out body fat. Before suction, the area is flushed with a tumescent solution to ensure greater ease of cell removal, as well as less pain for the patient and a more rapid recovery. Dr. Capizzi will discuss the most appropriate options for you during your consultation.
Motherhood is one of life’s greatest joys, bringing delight, pride and profound emotional fulfillment. But being a mom is also hard work, and it can take a steep toll on a woman’s body. Despite the implementation of a rigorous diet and exercise plan, some moms are still dissatisfied with the way that pregnancy and breastfeeding has affected their appearances, and find it is time to seek out a cosmetic solution. The affectionately named “Mommy Makeover” is the ideal procedure for restoring confidence in one’s image postpartum. Through a combination of cutting edge techniques, the chest, hips, belly, legs and buttocks can be revitalized, eliminating excess fat, toning and firming loose skin, and improving the overall shape of the breasts.
Mommy Makeovers include:
Liposuction
Tummy Tuck
Breast Lift
Breast Augmentation
Having an hourglass shape depends on having a round and curvy derriere that accentuates the ratio between the waistline and the buttocks. A Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, creates curves and roundness using the patient’s own fat to supply the necessary volume as opposed to a traditional lift which uses an implant.
This procedure has a dual benefit; it removes excess fat from the abdomen, ‘muffin top’ area, back or thighs using standard liposuction procedure. The harvested fat is then processed and injected into the buttocks to create the size and shape desired. The lift is created by carefully placing the harvested fat in the upper area of the buttocks and in strategically removing excess fat in the waistline, if necessary.
You may have concluded that tired, droopy eyelids, puffy bags beneath the eye, crow’s feet and laugh lines are just the inevitable burdens of aging that must be tolerated, covered with makeup or hidden behind dark glasses. Loss of elasticity and weakened muscles around the eyes can make one appear exhausted or depressed, and can add as much as ten years to one’s perceived age. In extreme cases, sagging skin from the upper lids may actually cause ptosis, or the impairment of vision.
Yet with the latest revolutionary techniques in eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty), vibrant, youthful eyes are finally within reach. During this rejuvenating 50-minute cosmetic procedure, Dr. Capizzi produces dramatic results by removing excess skin and fat around the eye area and tightening the tiny muscles we use every day to form thousands of facial expressions. This is one of the doctor’s most in-demand surgeries for both men and women, and is often recommended in conjunction with a facelift, a brow lift or a neck lift.
As we age, the skin around the neck, jaw and cheekbones begins to gradually lose its elasticity, and wrinkles, frown lines, and sagging skin folds threaten to completely distort the profile. Even with exercise, juicing, proper hydration and vitamins, these effects of time and gravity are difficult to combat without the assistance of cosmetic surgery.
For those men and women who desire the rejuvenating benefits of a traditional facelift without the longer recovery time and invasive techniques, the mini facelift is a subtle and convenient solution with beautiful, organic outcomes. This procedure will tighten and tone the mid-face and upper neck via inconspicuous incisions behind the ears, melting away years of stress and fatigue from the appearance. It is often complemented by a neck lift or eyelid surgery. Additionally, Dr. Capizzi may recommend laser resurfacing and injectables like Juvederm, Voluma and BOTOX for a complete age-reversing facial transformation.
One of the most frustrating telltale signs of aging is the sagging, excess fat and skin that distorts the neck area, drastically altering the profile and the entire facial appearance. Wrinkled, loose folds beneath the chin, or what some term a “turkey neck”, may even cause a slim man or woman to look heavier, older and less appealing. Yet there is a dynamic, age-reversing solution that can regenerate youth and confidence and make glancing in the mirror enjoyable once more.
A neck lift, also called a lower rhytidectomy, restores elasticity to the jaw and neck, refining the neck muscles and trimming neck fat to achieve a firmer, tighter silhouette. Depending on the patient’s facial anatomy, liposuction, a mini facelift, eyelid surgery or dermal fillers may be suggested in conjunction with this procedure.
As its name suggests, CoolSculpting is a clinically tested, FDA-approved procedure that involves freezing the body’s most stubborn fat cells in the belly, buttocks, arms, thighs or back until they disintegrate. It is especially effective for male and female clients who are within a reasonable weight for their frames, but who suffer from unwanted and unsightly body bulging that remains resistant to diet and exercise alone. Additionally, CoolSculpting may be employed during breast reconstruction to dispose of excess pectoral fat, or during FTM top surgery for the purpose of accomplishing a more masculine body aesthetic.
In all cases, CoolSculpting requires no incisions, no extended recovery times and almost no postoperative discomfort. It can therefore be a successful and non-invasive alternative to liposuction under the right circumstances. Patients can usually return to work or school the same day as the procedure.
hile it may sound strange, Botox is made from Botulinium Toxin, an organism that causes botulism, or bacterial poisoning. Almost 20 years ago, doctors were able to isolate this toxin, then engineer and refine it into a medical treatment that has been revolutionary in the field of preventative aging.
FDA-approved and clinically tested, today Botox is one of the safest and most popular injectables in the world. It works by temporarily and partially paralyzing the facial muscles that cause glabellar folds (harsh vertical creases between the eyebrows), frown lines extending downwards from the nose, crow’s feet (unforgiving wrinkles around the eyes) and “worry lines,”—those horizontal zigzags across the forehead. The result is a smoother, more youthful facial appearance, regardless of facial expression. Additional uses for Botox include the treatment of hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating in the feet, hands or armpits.
When it comes to administering dermal fillers, it’s important to understand that these treatments require the highest level of skill, precision and artistic sensibility, even though they may appear simple when compared to more involved surgical procedures. Selecting the wrong dosage or injection site will not only result in a botched treatment, it can create new problems and complications for the patient. With almost 20 years of experience, Dr. Capizzi and his team deliver exceptional outcomes every time.
Kybella is one of the newest and most exciting FDA-approved injectables in the field of preventative aging. It was developed to strategically target and eliminate the infuriating submental fat responsible for “double chins.” A double chin can add years to one’s perceived age, and also make a person appear heavier, resulting in lowered self-esteem and feelings of frustration with one’s appearance.
The critical ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a fat-metabolizing agent that occurs naturally in the human body. When injected, the deoxycholic acid pierces the fat cell membrane, causing lysis (membrane death). Immediately, the fat molecules are released from the cell, metabolized, and eliminated as waste, creating a more slender, sculpted profile with greater definition. Kybella will continue to improve chin and neck contours for 3-6 months, however, stunning results are usually visible in around 10-14 days.
As we age, our lips begin to lose both volume and definition. Plump lips are associated with health and vitality, while thin lips give the appearance of age or displeasure, so this loss of lip volume may do more than simply undermine your confidence in your appearance – it could also cause you to seem unhappy or even ill. Aging lips also tend to lose definition, as the cupid’s bow (or M-shaped divot in the upper lip) becomes less pronounced. Volbella provides a smooth, subtle solution by restoring lip volume and definition, for a younger, happier smile.
Another common complaint we hear from patients is regarding vertical lines on or around the lips, also known as smokers’ lines or lipstick lines. The gentle effects of Volbella make it the perfect filler for delicate cases where the increase in volume desired is relatively small, to eliminate these lines. Volbella is also suited to treat the “marionette lines” that often begin to extend downward from the corners of the lips as we age, as the facial skin loses tissue volume and elasticity.
Volbella injections have also been effective in reducing the appearance of pitted acne scars.
Over the past few decades, the medical field has harnessed the unique, concentrated power of laser beams to assist with combating a host of human ailments, from cancer to cataracts. Laser light differs from regular light in that it represents a narrow set of wavelengths converted into highly focused beams. With the assistance of computers, these laser beams allow surgeons to hit their targets with a degree of accuracy impossible to achieve through conventional means, while sparing the surrounding muscle, tissue and nerves. The strength of the lasers can be fine tuned to barely scratch a surface, or slice through the thickest steel. The precision and versatility of laser therapy makes it ideal for the cosmetic field, where it has gradually become a leading modality in the fight against aging.
Sclerotherapy Treatments - Remove varicose or Spider veins
Unsightly veins, such as spider veins, feeder veins and varicose veins, are the product of both aging and poor genes. They can also result from long periods of sitting or standing, injuries, or hormone replacement therapy. For individuals suffering from unwanted veins, one-hour sclerotherapy treatments represent a minimally invasive and effective solution, and are often best combined with laser therapy.
During sclerotherapy, alcohol-based or hypertonic saline is injected to collapse the veins. This solution swells the veins’ lining until it blocks blood flow. Consequently, the vein will slowly turn to scar tissue and eventually vanish. Most clients do not experience any pain, however, if you feel minor cramping or tingling, be sure to tell the doctor so that he may adjust his technique to accommodate your comfort level.
Are you sick and tired of dieting and exercising without obtaining significant results? You may have tried every kind of fad diet and diet pill, only to be bitterly disappointed once again. But what if there was a solution that could actually reengineer your metabolism and alter it hormonally to radically change the way your body burns fat?
HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a protein hormone found in our pituitary glands that triggers the body’s metabolism to burn fat deposits. Doctors can now inject the hormone to accelerate the fat loss mechanism, releasing the unwanted pounds. When combined with a healthy diet and a reasonable exercise plan, HCG injections can keep the weight off permanently, as hunger is suppressed and the body’s natural metabolism is reset.
