Procedures

Botox®

He is one of less than 500 elected Fellows of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

He brings unparallel depth of experience to customizing your cosmetic eyelid surgery. Don't settle for a surgeon who is minimally trained to perform eyelid surgery and offers it as a sideline. Call now to schedule your personal consultation.

Forehead Lift

The endoscopic forehead lift continues to be one of the most important cosmetic surgeries available. Almost 20 years ago, this small incision, minimally invasive procedure replaced the open forehead lift. The small incision forehead lift has proven just as reliable and powerful as the open forehead lift. The key with this procedure, like any other, is the skilled surgeon who customizes the surgery to address your particular needs. The endoscopic forehead lift is often combined with eyelid surgery and/or a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Learn from Dr. Steinsapir during your personal consultation how this can best be accomplished for your personal goals.

Facelift

The facelift continues to be the most powerful method for rejuvenating the aging face. The most important reason for considering a facelift is cords in the neck, which are produced by laxity of the neck muscles and loose neck skin. Recovery from the facelift is amazingly rapid with many resuming social activities in 7-10 days. The procedure can be performed awake under local anesthesia for healthy individuals. Alternatively, many choose to have their facelift under general anesthesia at the surgery center at UCLA, consistently rated as one of top medical centers in the country. Call now for your personal consultation with Dr. Steinsapir to learn if you would benefit from a facelift.

Midface Lift

Dr. Steinsapir is one of the key pioneers of midface surgery. His midface lift with hand carved ePTFE orbital rim implants is widely hailed. This workhorse procedure is often called upon for reconstructive procedures after unsatisfactory lower eyelid surgery and other complex reconstructive situations. Other midface procedures offered by Dr. Steinsapir include orbiculomalar ligament tightening procedures to address festoons or cheek bags, as well as phenomenal under eye Deepfill™ Restylane®. A personal consultation with Dr. Steinsapir will determine if these procedures are right for you.

Chemical Peel/Facial Resurfacing

Chemical peels were the preferred method for resurfacing the face long before the introduction of CO2 laser resurfacing. CO2 laser resurfacing has not turned out to be such a wonderful treatment due to loss of skin texture and color that is all too common with these types of treatments. In contrast, chemical peels are remarkably versatile. Dr. Steinsapir is a master chemical peeler and can tailor a chemical peel procedure precisely to meet your needs. The major face peels are ready for makeup in 10-12 days and lighter peels are free from down time. Speak with Dr. Steinsapir during your personal consultation to learn what options are best for you.

Liposuction

Liposuction continues to be one of the most popular and frequently performed cosmetic surgeries. Who you choose as your surgeon and how they perform liposuction makes a big difference to your outcome. One type of liposuction towers over all other forms in safety and effectiveness-Tumescent Liposuction. Using this method, Dr. Steinsapir can comfortably sculpt your love handles, abdomen, and flanks to give you a figure that you have only dreamed about. Because tumescent liposuction is so safe and comfortable, most people return to work and the gym in two days. Call now to schedule your personal consultation and learn if tumescent liposuction is right for you.

Reconstruction

Do you have a droopy eyelid, a prior eyelid injury, or an unsatisfactory result from a prior eyelid surgery? Dr. Steinsapir specializes in repairing and aesthetically improving these issues. Even if other doctors have told you that nothing can be done, it is worth your while to have a personal consultation with Dr. Steinsapir. He utilizes reconstructive eyelid methods that some surgeons have only read about. In many cases, he uses reconstructive techniques he invented himself to repair what other can't. Call now to schedule you personal consultation.

Fotofacial

Fotofacial, which is intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments of the face, is an amazing treatment in the right hands. IPL is not laser. It is a flash pulsed light that contains numerous wavelengths of light. Laser is just a single wavelength of light. Each laser can only target a limited number of skin concerns like red spots or brown spots. Different colors in the skin need different wavelengths for treatment. IPL can target a wide range of skin issues including red spots, blood vessels, brown spots, and collagen. Each treatment helps clear the complexion with minimal down time. In this office, Dr. Steinsapir performs your Fotofacial so you get the maximum benefit of the service. Call for your personal consultation with Dr. Steinsapir to learn if this treatment is right for you.
