Expert Advice
The term Mommy Makeover came from millions of women who complained about sagging breasts and extra skin and fat in the abdominal section. When tummy tuck and breast augmentation surgeries are combined, the end result is drastic; a firmer, more youthful body is revealed.
CoolSculpting™ made by Zeltiq has made quite the splash in the US market. Discovered in Europe years past, is a revolutionary new fat loss procedure that eliminates fat by freezing it off. This isn’t a surgical liposuction, it’s a non-invasive and no downtime way to reduce fat while you nap!
CoolSculpting by Zeltiq offers patients a non-invasive method of permanent fat removal, with no incisions, scarring or recovery time. Patients can experience a 20 to 25 percent reduction in fat after just one session.
An eyelid lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that eliminates visible signs of aging around the eyes. Formally called blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery targets droopiness around the eyes. As one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery, an eyelid lift leaves patients with a more youthful and smoother face.
Laser tattoo removal is an effective way of removing unwanted tattoos from any area of the body.
Many patients who are unhappy with the shape of their body wish they could loose an inch from one area and gain in another. Using liposuction to perform body fat transfers, plastic surgeons offer people unhappy with their appearance to do just that. Body fat transfers remove excess fat from one area of the body (commonly the thighs or abdomen) and moves the fat to another area (commonly the lips, breasts and buttocks) as an alternative treatment to body implants.
Scarring comes in all shapes and sizes and colors. A scar results from our own body’s natural repair in the skin. Poor healing may contribute to scars that are obvious, unsightly or disfiguring. Even a wound that heals well can result in a scar that can significantly affect appearance. Fortunately, there are many cosmetic options available for scar revision, often yielding great results for patients.
Profractional Laser therapy is a quick laser skin treatment with minimal downtime, used for improving a wide array of skin concerns; often yielding great results.
Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast are the most popular choice amongst collagen-based injections.
Bovine collagen injections are used to correct contour defects, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, forehead wrinkles, and lip augmentation.
Silikon 1000 is permanent dermal filler that uses micro-droplets to flawlessly fill in scars and wrinkles.
Juvederm is a type of dermal filler that can be used for lip augmentation, facial lines and wrinkles.
Radiesse is a safe, next-generation cosmetic dermal filler that's setting a new standard for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles.
Restylane is an FDA-approved non–animal-stabilized hyaluronic acid derivative used for soft tissue augmentation. Perlane is also a hyaluronic acid derivative, but it is a more robust form of Restylane for use in the deeper layers of the facial skin.
Xeomin is the latest wrinkle-reducing dermal filler on the market. Xeomin, Botox and Dysport are all classified as botulinum toxins and work similarly by temporarily relaxing muscles that produce frown lines and wrinkles when they are injected in to the specific muscles.
Let’s face it, plastic surgery clinics and medical spas are all the rage and for very good reasons. For every cosmetic concern, there is a surgical or non-surgical solution that will fit in the patients’ lifestyle. Ultherapy is the non-surgical solution to facelift surgery.
Whether you are looking to minimize fine lines and wrinkles or enhance your features, dermal fillers are here and constantly changing and improving with patients’ needs. Dermal fillers are a very attractive choice because of the superb results minus downtime or recovery.
Collagen injections are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure used to fill in frown lines, crow's feet and other unsightly signs of aging.
Nose surgery (Rhinoplasty) adjusts the size, shape, or symmetry of the nose. Also referred to as a 'nose job,' rhinoplasty is a common surgical procedure to improve one's physical appearance or correct for medical nasal imbalance. There are a number of factors that determine the type of nose surgery an individual should undergo and should be discussed in depth with a doctor before the operation.
As the plastic surgery industry grows, new technology appears; some good, some bad, some for marketing purposes. Cool Lipo or laser-assisted liposuction, has been touted as simple liposuction with minimal to no downtime or recovery and it does live up to its reputation for most patients.

Hello from AZ!! Last night when I got back to work, my good friend took one look at me and said "whatever you did you look great!" Everyone did double takes when they looked at me and said that I look great. They went out of their way to tell me. It's like they couldn't understand what was different. Work acquaintances (men too) told me I look great. My closest girlfriends think I look astounding. I even got whistled at. Not bad for 51. Thank you!! Wow, I don't think I ever knew how it felt to be pretty. It's a great feeling. I can't express how grateful I am to you. Thanks for helping me and being so gifted. You have so much talent and are a true artist. Thank you!

Hello from Iraq. You performed surgery on my eyes in April of 2007 and I was called to Iraq in August 2007. I can see! You probably saved my life with the mission I have. It is beautiful not to be dependent on glasses. With the quality sun glasses we have, Oakley and ESS, my eyes are fully protected unlike those wearing prescription sunglasses. We are on a 24 hour a day basis here and glasses would have been a very noticeable anchor. Thank you, MAJOR Martinez, MP Battalion, Executive Officer

As a contestant on "The Swan", I relied on some of the top physicians to transform me from an ugly duckling to a beauty queen. Now, I trust all of my maintenance care to the providers at the Ritacca Laser & Cosmetic Center.

I think the people at the Ritacca Laser Center are the most talented and CARING people I have ever had the pleasure to meet; from the receptionists who are very sweet, personable and caring- to the expertise of the doctors, nurses, and clinicians. Their most important goal is that the patient is happy about whatever work they choose to have done. Also, the Ritacca people know which procedure will suit the client/patient who has no idea what they want to have done. Your wishes may simply be to feel better about your appearance and now there are so many ways to do this without having major surgery. These excellent people are on top of all the new procedures and can explain exactly what these procedures are and if it is appropriate for you and the results you are looking for . There is always an expert that can answer your concerns and questions. I have received knowledgeable and caring guidance by everyone I have talked to."I would like these results- what would you suggest?" I know this is probably the question they hear the most- I think the second question is " how much is it going to cost?" You are told up front about cost depending on what you want done-no surprises. And if you can't afford one thing, there is always something you can afford. The bottom line is this~I have never met so many caring, nice, knowledgeable people under one roof. I have total confidence in them because The Ritacca Laser Center is MUCH MORE than just a business, they honestly love what they are doing and care about the people they help.
