Breast Augmentation Grows in Popularity

Plastic Surgeon Timothy Jones is One of St. Louis’ Leading Providers of Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery

November 20, 2006 (ST. LOUIS) – More than 360,000 breast augmentation procedures were undertaken in 2005, a 9 percent increase over the previous year, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

“I’m seeing more and more women choosing breast enhancement as a way to boost self-esteem and confidence,” says St. Louis board-certified plastic surgeon Timothy Jones, MD.

“It’s often not a matter of simply increasing bust size,” said Jones, “but many women find that after childbirth or losing a great deal of weight, they’ve lost volume and shape in their breasts. This procedure is a way to help restore firmness and re-establish a woman’s proportional figure.”

Not Your Mother’s Facelift

St. Louis Plastic Surgeon Timothy Jones Performs Limited-Incision Facelifts
which Promotes Faster Healing

November 20, 2006 (ST. LOUIS) – St. Louis board-certified plastic surgeon Timothy Jones, MD is seeing more patients who want cosmetic surgery results, without the downtime that comes from major surgery.

“The solution for many people might be the limited-incision facelift,” said Dr. Jones. It helps address signs of early aging with fewer incisions and faster healing – which means less downtime.

“Another area of the body that tends to show premature aging is the neck,” said Dr. Jones. “As one ages, a combination of loose, hanging skin and an accumulation of fat under the chin results in the loss of a well-defined chin – what some people call a ‘turkey wattle.’ This can be addressed through a necklift, which tightens the lax muscles of the neck and removes excess skin.”

Genesis Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center® was founded in 1998 by Dr. Jones. The office is located in West County at 456 N. New Ballas Road, Ste. 290, 63141.
