Surgical Savvy
by Paul J. LoVerme, M.D.
It’s a philosophy he learned from his father—a plastic surgeon before him and it’s a belief he carries today at the Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center in Verona, New Jersey. Patient education begins with a computer presentation and includes some of Dr. LoVerme’s prior results. He then performs an examination and discusses options, expectations, recuperation and possible complications. “When the consultation is over, we should have the same goals and the patient should understand what is necessary to achieve them.” Surgery can be performed in his AAAASF-accredited, onsite surgical suite, providing safety, comfort and privacy for every patient in a warm and inviting atmosphere. To optimize patient care, Dr. LoVerme balances state-of-the art, proven technology, like lasers, ultrasound and endoscopy, with precise and detailed-oriented surgery. Noninvasive procedures and holistic therapies, like vitamin supplements, lymphatic draining massage and prescription skin care are performed at his Radiance Medical Spa. The integration of homeopathic and allopathic medicine, age management and skillful surgery set him apart. Dr. LoVerme’s goal is to make every outcome positive, every result expected and every experience pleasurable and comfortable. And it all starts with a strong commitment to personalized care of that educated, sophisticated patient. “I really want them involved in the decisionmaking process.”

MAKING OVER MOMMY Time can wear unfavorably on many women. Between the effects of pregnancy and child-rearing, or simply the natural signs of age, the female body often can benefit from surgical intervention. That’s where the MOMMY MAKEOVER comes in. An often used term, the concept has grown more popular over the past decade. It involves a variety of procedures increasingly in demand among women 35 to 55 years of age—regardless of whether they’re mothers. About half of Dr. LoVerme’s BREAST AUGMENTATION patients, whether using saline filled or silicone gel implants, are over 35, and one in 10 are over 50. From breast reshaping, lifts and augmentation to replacing volume lost to pregnancy or breastfeeding, to LIPOSELECTION® and body sculpting, or a TUMMY TUCK that removes stretched skin and strengthens the abdominal wall, women emerge with a more youthful appearance that belies both years and motherhood. |
