Areas we pride ourselves in:

Breast Augmentation - We achieve markedly less post-op pain with a technique we developed that was published in our national journal in September 2008. Some patients do not even take post-op pain medicine.

Face - We have developed a face/neck lifting technique using short scars that has very fast recovery and gives an amazingly natural look. Most patients are back to work in a week.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) - We have developed a method that contours the abdomen leaving shape and definition. This technique also dramatically reduces the most common complication of seroma formation.

Liposuction - We use thin cannulas to achieve smooth results using the latest in tumescent, power assisted and ultrasonic liposuction techniques.

The decision to improve the shape of your body is highly personal. You want a specific look and a Doctor that understands your concerns and desires. You want an experienced surgeon with an artistic eye who dwells on details and puts your well being above all else. Doctor Dean Jabs and
Dr. Frank Richards are that type of surgeon. Specializing in liposuction using the latest techniques with the smallest possible incisions, you will recover faster and be more comfortable in the post operative period.

From your first consultation to your last follow up visit, you will be pampered. The entire staff is trained to make your experience a positive one. During the initial consultation our doctors will listen to what you want and learn about your medical history. After a brief examination, you will review pre and post operative photos of patients and decide what look is best for you. All of your questions will be answered with detailed individualized information and a quote for the procedure will be provided. Scheduling is quick and easy.

Your surgery will be performed at a hospital affiliated outpatient surgery center where your care is provided by board certified anesthesiologists. The procedure will take few hours and you will be on your way home soon thereafter.

All follow up care is included. There will be no stitches to remove. You will be wearing a compression garment for 3 weeks and be able to return to walking exercises in three days.

When you choose Cosmetic Surgery Associates you enter into a relationship built on mutual trust and respect. We look forward to seeing you.

Dr. Franklin Richards and Dr. Dean Jabs are Board Certified Plastic Surgeons and members of the American Society of Plastic Surgery and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. They also hold the prestigious Certificate of Added Qualification in Cosmetic Surgery. They are experienced plastic surgeons with thousands of happy patients.
