During your initial consultation, you will be encouraged to discuss with Dr. Montegut your desires, fears, expectations and goals. Dr. Montegut has a multi procedural approach that produces an overall result which is far superior to the simple facelift of the past. The photographs that are on the Gallery page will show you his fantastic results of using Fat Transfer with other procedures to the surface textures of the skin as well as the underlying structural changes in one operation. In performing this combination, the face is restored to a more youthful appearance and most important, a natural result.

Spectacular results are especially significant around the eyes and mouth areas.

Face Lift
This procedure restores a more youthful appearance and rejuvenates the face and neck. The aging process, which includes the effects of gravity, sun exposure and stresses of daily life begin to show as we age. Crease's form between the nose and mouth, jowls begin to form, fat tissue and loosened muscles appear in the neck, which are all more prominent as the aging process progresses.  A facelift will not stop the aging process; however, it will tighten the muscle structure, remove excess fat from under the neck and tighten sagging skin. A facelift will not give you a different look, but instead, it restores the skin, underlying tissue and muscle structure to the way it once looked. A facelift can be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures, such as eyelid correction, brow lift, and donor fat transfer.

Lip Enhancement
Lips can be made larger and fuller with LipoSculpture. Dr. Montegut's revolutionary approach separates the deep creases formed on the upper lip and sides of the mouth from the top layer of skin. This addresses the real problem of rejuvenating the lip contours. Although laser surgery will have effect on some surface lines. the really deep grooves need an in depth approach. By inserting the donor's own fat tissue between the skin and the muscle, the grooves are evened out and plumped up. The skin on the top lip is smooth once again, and the lips are lush with alluring contours. The plumping technique can be used on both upper and lower lips.

Brow lift
This procedure corrects sagging and drooping muscles, horizontal lines and furrows of the forehead. The tired, annoyed and angry appearance is corrected, leaving you with a look that is more refreshed and youthful. The goal of the brow lift is to raise the eyebrows; smooth the forehead wrinkles, and corrects the horizontal lines that tend to develop with age. The brow lift will also reduce excess upper eyelid skin in most patients; thus the need for a Blepharoplasty (Upper eyelid surgery) is alleviated. The brow lift procedure has two incision approaches that can be used; the forehead incision which is placed at the hairline and the coronal incision which is placed behind the hairline. Dr. Montegut will evaluate you at the time of your consultation and determine which incision site will best suit your hairline. It is important to note that no hair is shaved for either incision location. The brow lift can be performed in conjunction with any other aesthetic surgery you may desire.

Upper and Lower Eyelid Correction
Cosmetic eyelid surgery is performed to improve the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. The goal of upper eyelid surgery is to primarily remove excess skin and sometimes a small amount of fat, whereas the goal for the lower eyelid is to primarily remove mostly fat with some excess skin. This procedure restores a healthy, refreshed image, removes the puffiness under the eyes and eradicates the appearance of tiredness. Both the upper and lower eyelids can be surgically corrected either alone or together and with any other aesthetic surgery you may desire.

Cheek Implants
Cheekbones may be built up by placing an implant over them. The resulting enhancement of the cheek “highlight” area can be subtle or dramatic, according to your desire, and the incisions are inside the mouth so there is no scar.

Chin Augmentation
Increasing the projection of a receding chin can strengthen its appearance. At the same time, this can enhance proportional balance between the nose and other facial features, bringing a more harmonious and attractive profile.

Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can improve breast size and shape, and give a more proportioned figure. Saline-filled implants are placed to make breasts fuller and enhance their shape, and make it easier to wear certain styles of clothing. Incisions can be made high in the arm pit, in a skin crease, so that there is no scar on the chest.

Breast Lift
A breast lift will make breasts firmer and more uplifted. The position of the nipples is enhanced if they point downward. The result is a more youthful contour and appearance.

Breast Reduction
Breast reduction re-proportions breasts to the rest of the body, and can provide relief from physical symptoms such as back, neck, and shoulder pain and rashes beneath the breasts caused by the excessive weight of large breasts.  Following breast reduction the size and weight of the breasts no longer in addition to reducing breast size, Dr. Montegut will strive to create a more aesthetically pleasing breast by improving shape, balance and creating breasts which are proportional to your chest and shoulders. No woman has breasts which are perfectly symmetrical in volume, shape, or position, and it would be unrealistic to expect a surgeon to create what nature cannot. Dr. Montegut, however, will aim for relative symmetry. In addition, a youthful appearance-- firm breasts with proper uplift is desirable. interfere with physical activity, and clothes fit better with a wider choice of styles.

Liposuction
Liposuction reduces isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of the body to appear disproportionate. Once the fat is "suctioned out", the surrounding skin contracts because of the natural elasticity of the skin, thus permanently removing fatty deposits that create unflattering bulges. Liposuction is the only way to eliminated localized collections of fat which do not respond to diet and exercise. Tiny incisions are made within the natural creases or hidden in inconspicuous sites often with no more than a 1/4 in length, leaving very minimal, if any, scarring. This creates an overall smooth contour with little or no surface effects. It permanently removes fatty deposits that create unflattering bulges, and is the only way to eliminate localized collections of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise.

Abdominoplasty
Otherwise known as a tummy tuck, this procedure enhances body contour by making the abdomen firmer and flatter. It benefits loose, flaccid abdominal skin and fat, and  tightens muscles that have been separated and weakened by pregnancy.

Rhinoplasty
Nose Reshaping can reduce the nasal profile, change the angle between the nose and upper lip and reshape the nasal tip. The goal of rhinoplasty is a natural looking nose that “fits” with the rest of the face by enhancing the balance between the nose and other facial features. Incisions are usually made inside the nose, and therefore invisible.

Skin Resurfacing
Laser or chemical skin resurfacing turns back the clock on aging, sun exposure, and hereditary and lifestyle factors that contributed to facial wrinkling and pigmentary changes of the skin. Skin resurfacing can smooth wrinkles, reduce brown spots, and improve overall texture and appearance of skin for a healthier and younger appearance.
