Is Breast Augmentation Surgery Right for You?
Do you find yourself longing for larger, more voluminous breasts at least once a day? Do you obsess
about how your breasts look every time you pass by a mirror and see your reflection? Although
admitting to these feelings might be difficult, you are not the only one who feels this way.
If your desire for an enhanced bust line persists or perhaps increases over time, breast augmentation
surgery might be right for you. In general, breast enhancement cosmetic surgery is appropriate for
women who have a positive body image overall, but are simply frustrated with the size, shape or
positioning of their breasts.
At the San Jose plastic surgery practice of R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, we are honored to be recognized
as leaders in breast augmentation surgery. Thanks to Dr. Berkowitz’s experience, surgical expertise and
excellence in patient care, he has been voted Metro’s 2013 Best Plastic Surgeon of Silicon Valley. We
have helped countless women achieve their ideal breasts, and we can do the same for you!
Enhancing Your Breasts: What’s the First Step?
Happily, you have already taken the first step toward attaining the breasts of your dreams! By
contemplating the procedure, observing the positive aspects of other women’s breasts and visiting this
website to learn more about surgical breast augmentation, you have started the journey to achieving
your dream of a larger bust line.
The second step in the process is as simple as the first: Schedule a personal consultation with Dr. R.
Laurence Berkowitz to obtain specific details about the procedure, as well as review your unique
anatomical needs and aesthetic desires with the Los Gatos / Campbell breast augmentation surgeon. Dr.
Berkowitz will take your surgical needs and goals into consideration when determining which breast
augmentation treatment plan is best for you.
In the meantime, you may want to explore your different breast implant options, including which type
of breast implants and which implant placement method you might prefer. That way, you can ask any
questions you have about your available breast implant choices or the procedure itself during your
appointment.
Enhance Your Breasts With the Best
Breast augmentation surgery can be a rewarding experience that positively impacts your life — when
performed by a well-qualified, meticulously skilled plastic surgeon. That individual is R. Laurence
Berkowitz, MD.
Dr. Berkowitz is a board-certified plastic surgeon, a respected author and authority in the field, a former
assistant professor of surgery at prestigious Stanford University, a humanitarian and a compassionate
physician. In addition, the Campbell breast augmentation surgeon has hand-chosen his medical team
and administrative staff, so every team member is as highly dedicated to patient care, safety and
satisfaction as he is.
Trust Dr. Berkowitz for Your Revision Surgery Unfortunately, there are some cosmetic surgeons who
are less than qualified to perform breast augmentation surgery. If you have had the misfortune of
undergoing your initial breast enhancement surgery with someone other than Dr. Berkowitz who did not
help you achieve the aesthetic results you desire, it is time to turn to Dr. Berkowitz. Whether your initial
surgeon was underqualified or you have since decided that you would like a different type, size or shape
of breast implants, trust Dr. Berkowitz for your revision breast augmentation surgery. He is highly
experienced in correcting less-than-perfect breast augmentation results.

those seeking facelift, rhinoplasty and mommy makeover in Silicon Valley.
H1: Meet Campbell / San Jose Plastic Surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz
H2: Also Treating Los Gatos, Santa Clara and Palo Alto Cosmetic Surgery Patients
R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Campbell with 30-plus years of
aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery experience. When Dr. Berkowitz was a child, his father, a
Rabbi, held his son’s hands and remarked, “These are the hands of a surgeon.” Thus, a compassionate
yet profoundly skilled surgeon was born.
Thanks to his broad experience, precise surgical skill and attentive bedside manner, the Greater San Jose
plastic surgeon has been recognized by Metro as “Silicon Valley’s Best Plastic Surgeon” in 2009, 2010
and 2013.
More About R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD
R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, attended the University of Michigan where he earned his Bachelor of Arts
degree in art history, graduating cum laude. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree at the Ohio State
University College of Medicine. Dr. Berkowitz completed a residency in general surgery and a
subsequent residency in plastic surgery, both at the University of Michigan Medical Center. The Greater
San Jose plastic surgeon then fulfilled a research fellowship in plastic surgery at the esteemed Stanford
University School of Medicine before being selected as a Christine Kleinert Fellow in hand surgery at the
University of Louisville.
Dr. Berkowitz is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He belongs to the American Society
of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the California Society of Plastic
Surgeons, the California Medical Association, the Santa Clara County Medical Society, the San Jose
Surgical Society and the Rhinoplasty Society.
The Campbell cosmetic surgeon has hospital privileges at Stanford University Hospital, Santa Clara Valley
Medical Center, Good Samaritan Hospital, Community Hospital of Los Gatos and O’Connor Hospital.
His past positions include: assistant professor of surgery at Stanford University, Director of the Santa
Clara Valley Medical Center burn unit, Chief of Plastic Surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital and secretary
of the Good Samaritan Hospital surgery department.
Dr. Berkowitz’s Humanitarian Efforts
In addition to cultivating his private practice and other professional responsibilities, Dr. Berkowitz makes
time to help underserved communities around the world. He is involved in Interplast, an organization
that provides plastic and reconstructive surgery to impoverished communities in developing nations. As
a member of Interplast’s board of directors, Dr. Berkowitz has been honored to provide surgical care in
Mexico, Honduras and Peru. The Silicon Valley plastic surgeon also serves as Director of La Ceiba Project,
travelling to Honduras twice a year to maintain the reconstructive plastic surgery clinic established by
the project there in 1979.
Whether he is repairing a child’s cleft palate in Central America or enhancing a woman’s bustline in the
United States, Dr. Berkowitz does not necessarily distinguish between aesthetic and reconstructive
surgery. He has stated that, “In my mind, the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery is
an artificial line set by our society, [declaring that a procedure is] ‘necessary versus elective.’ To the
patients, it is always necessary. People don’t subject themselves to surgery unless they have considered
it carefully and have a strong need to change something.”
It is with this sense of compassion that Dr. Berkowitz approaches every patient and procedure.

Breast Lift
Page title: Greater San Jose Breast Lift Surgeon - Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz
Meta description: If you are contemplating breast lift surgery in San Jose to fix the look of sagging
breasts often caused by breastfeeding, contact Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.
H1: Breast Lift Surgery
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Breast Lift Patients
When to Consider Breast Lift Surgery
Are you frustrated that your breasts have started to sag? Do you feel as though your breasts look flatter
than they used to look, and seem to resemble pancakes? Are you bothered by nipples that point toward
the ground instead of straight ahead?
If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Breastfeeding, major weight loss or simply the aging
process all can cause the breasts to droop or look deflated and the nipples to point southward.
As time passes, the body stops producing collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for
healthy skin. When this happens, the skin loses its elastic quality, making it difficult or impossible for the
skin to “bounce back” to its original shape and size following nursing or substantial weight loss.
Combining this with the effect of gravity over time can lead to sagging, deflated-looking breasts and
downward-pointing nipples.
The encouraging news is that undergoing breast lift surgery in San Jose with Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz
can help. The Campbell breast surgeon performs mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, either alone or with
breast implants to restore fullness to the breasts and to lift them into a higher, more youthful-looking
position on the chest wall. With breast lift surgery, he can also correct the position of the nipples.
The Next Step in Pursuing Breast Lift Surgery
You may not have realized this, but by considering breast lift surgery and visiting our website for
preliminary information, you are already on your way to attaining perkier breasts. Next, simply contact
the Campbell plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz for additional details. The kind staff will answer
any questions you may have.
They can also schedule a consultation with Dr. Berkowitz for you. When you meet with Dr. Berkowitz in
person, he will evaluate your unique physique, medical history and aesthetic desires for the look of your
breasts. He will take all these factors into account before recommending a course of action that will help
you achieve your surgical goals. He may advise breast lift surgery exclusively or breast lift in conjunction
with breast augmentation using saline or silicone breast implants, depending on your individual needs.
Why Undergo Breast Lift Surgery With Dr. Berkowitz
Thanks to Dr. Berkowitz’s expertise in breast surgery and other forms of plastic surgery, as well as his
kind-hearted approach to patient care, the Greater San Jose breast lift surgeon has been voted Metro’s
Best Plastic Surgeon of Silicon Valley in 2009, 2010 and, most recently, in 2013. Dr. Berkowitz has helped
countless women attain perkier, more voluminous breasts with breast lift surgery, and he is pleased to
help you achieve similar results!

At the Campbell plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we see many women who do not believe that
they can attain fuller, perkier breasts — until they see the amazing results that Dr. Berkowitz has
achieved with breast lift surgery. Until undergoing surgical breast lift with the Greater San Jose cosmetic
surgeon, many patients are doubtful that the procedure can help restore the youthful-looking contours
of their breasts. But once they look in the mirror after recovering from surgery, their doubts disappear!
If you feel skeptical about how breast lift surgery can help you, we would like to put your hesitations to
rest. We will walk you through the entire process, so you stay well-informed throughout every stage of
treatment. Step by step, we will assist you in making any needed decisions, so you don’t feel

Breast Lift With Implants

the look of sagging, flattened breasts with breast lift surgery with implants.

Why Breast Lift Surgery With Implants Becomes Necessary
Have you noticed that your breasts are beginning to droop? Do your breasts seem as though they have
lost volume, or like they have been deflated? Do you feel as though your breasts are smaller or less
voluminous than they used to be?
If this is the case, you might not be imagining things. Over time, skin cells gradually produce less and less
collagen as well as elastin. These proteins are integral for healthy, elastic skin; as the body stops
producing them, the skin loses its elasticity, so it can no longer re-form to its initial size or shape once it
has been stretched out. Furthermore, massive weight loss, pregnancy and breastfeeding, hereditary
factors and the natural aging process can all have an added negative effect on the look of the breasts. In
fact, as a result of nursing, the breasts often do become smaller than they were before having children.
When these issues occur, breast lift surgery with implants can help. Greater San Jose breast
augmentation surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz is highly trained and experienced in all types of breast
surgery, including breast lift with saline or silicone breast implants.
Restoring Lift and Volume to Your Breasts: Where Do You Begin?
The answer is simple — you have already begun on your journey to restoring lift and volume to your
breasts.
Thinking about breast lift surgery and considering the use of breast implants to help restore fullness to
your bustline is a solid indication that you have begun the research process.
The next step is to schedule a personal consultation with Campbell breast augmentation surgeon Dr. R.
Laurence Berkowitz. He can evaluate the physical state of your breasts, listen to your aesthetic
concerns, and recommend the type of breast surgery and, possibly, breast implants that are most
appropriate for your needs.
Keep in mind that breast lift with implants is a surgical procedure, and satisfying results can only be
generated by an extremely qualified, experienced plastic surgeon. That person is Metro’s 2013 Best
Plastic Surgeon of Silicon Valley, Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.

male breast reduction surgery in San Jose with Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.

How to Know if Male Breast Reduction Surgery Is Right for You
Are you a man who avoids beaches, pools and pick-up basketball games because you are embarrassed
to take off your shirt in front of others? Are you lacking self-confidence due to your enlarged breasts or
the extra fat in your chest area? Do you eat well and exercise properly, but still cannot achieve the
sculpted chest you desire?
If so, undergoing male breast reduction surgery in Campbell with Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz might be the
right option for you. If diet and exercise are not having the desired effect on your enlarged male breasts,
or “man boobs,” you may be suffering from gynecomastia (the medical term for enlarged male breasts).
Gynecomastia can be caused by hormonal fluctuations, hereditary factors or possibly the long-term use
of certain drugs such as steroids or marijuana. Often, gynecomastia develops during adolescence and
remains throughout adulthood.
At the Greater San Jose plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we recognize that having overly large
breasts and /or excess fat in the chest area can be particularly embarrassing for men. That is why we
offer discreet, efficient surgical care to eliminate excess breast tissue and fat as needed, providing a
masculine, sculpted chest contour.
Sculpting Your Chest Area: What’s the First Step?
Fortunately, you have already taken the first steps toward achieving the sculpted chest you desire. You
are already following a healthy diet and consistent exercise regimen. You have already pursued
alternative means of attaining a sculpted chest and now realize that undergoing male breast reduction
surgery is a viable option to help you achieve your aesthetic goal.
After the initials steps, the next step will seem easy! Simply schedule a private consultation with Dr.
Berkowitz. He can evaluate your physique and listen to your aesthetic concerns before helping you
decide on a surgical treatment plan. He can surgically eliminate excess glandular, or breast, tissue if you
are suffering from clinical gynecomastia. Another option is for the San Jose male breast reduction
surgeon to perform liposuction to remove excess fat from the chest area if you have stubborn deposits
of fat embedded under the skin. Or, he can perform a combination of both procedures if necessary.
An important point to remember is that male breast reduction is a surgical procedure, one that should
only be performed by a well-trained plastic surgeon who is dedicated to precision. That plastic surgeon
is Dr. Berkowitz.
A former assistant professor of surgery at Stanford University, Dr. Berkowitz is highly regarded by his
peers, patients and pupils as a leading authority in plastic surgery. Countless patients trust the Campbell
plastic surgeon to help them attain the sculpted physique they long for, and he can do the same for you.
Achieve a More Masculine Physique Today
At the Campbell plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we see many potential male breast reduction
patients, like you, who have some concerns about surgery. Perhaps you worry that you will not receive
the results you want. You may be uncertain that your case will be handled with discretion. And maybe
you wonder if the procedure is safe, or if you are at risk of surgical complications. Although every
surgery carries inherent risks, the patients with the highest risk of experiencing surgical complications or
undesirable surgical results are the ones who undergo male breast reduction surgery with an under-
qualified plastic surgeon.
On the other hand, undergoing male breast reduction surgery in Campbell with Dr. Berkowitz is a smart
move. He has more than three decades of plastic surgery experience, during which time he has helped
countless men achieve the masculine physique they desire. He was voted Metro’s Best Plastic Surgeon
of Silicon Valley in 2013.
Scheduling an appointment with Dr. Berkowitz will allow you to put any lingering concerns that you may
have about male breast reduction surgery to rest. He will explain the procedure and your options in
detail, so you can feel confident in your decision to pursue the sculpted chest of your dreams.
If you are ready to be on your way to achieving a more masculine physique today, schedule a private
consultation with Dr. Berkowitz. To do so, please contact his practice by calling (408) 559-7177 now.

When to Pursue Liposuction Surgery

of localized fat deposits no matter how hard you try?

since determined that you need the help of an experienced plastic surgeon.

At the Silicon Valley plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we recognize that undergoing liposuction is
a significant undertaking. You might be anxious that you will not attain the aesthetic results that you
want. You might also have heard about other patients who have experienced terrible complications
from surgery.
Don’t fear! Most likely, individuals who are unsatisfied with their liposuction results or who have
experienced serious surgical complications underwent their liposuction procedure with an
inexperienced cosmetic surgeon.
In contrast to these inexperienced plastic surgeons, Dr. Berkowitz is board certified and fellowship
trained, and has more than 30 years of experience in the field. The Campbell plastic surgeon has an
extremely high patient satisfaction rate. And, he takes every precaution possible to minimize the risk of
surgical complications.

long enough to attain a sculpted physique, and you deserve to have the figure that you have worked so
hard to achieve.

concerns with you and suggest a liposuction treatment protocol that will help you attain the sculpted
results you want. Don’t wait another minute to achieve a contoured figure! To arrange a personal

Is Mommy Makeover Appropriate for You?
Are you a mother who adores your children but does not adore the figure that remains after pregnancy
and / or breastfeeding? Are you frustrated that you cannot tone your tummy or get rid of the loose skin
that hangs off your abdomen, no matter how much you exercise and eat healthy? Are you bothered by
the look of sagging, flattened breasts and / or downward-pointing nipples?
If you responded in the affirmative to any of these questions, mommy makeover might be an
appropriate plastic surgery procedure to help you restore the figure you had before you had children.
Mommy makeover surgery is not a single surgery; rather, it is a combination of surgical procedures
designed to address the aesthetic concerns that many mothers have as a result of pregnancy and
nursing. Surgical mommy makeover typically includes: abdominoplasty, or “tummy tuck” surgery, to
eliminate excess abdominal skin and to repair abdominal muscles that have been damaged as a result of

Tummy Tuck

damaged muscles in the midsection, contact Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.
H1: Tummy Tuck Surgery
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Tummy Tuck Patients
How to Tell if It’s Time to Think About Tummy Tuck
Are you disappointed that no matter how regularly you hit the gym, do core-strengthening exercises and
make nutritious food choices, you can never achieve a firm, flat abdominal area? Have you lost a major
amount of weight, but are disheartened that you still have a less-than-perfect midsection? Or, has
pregnancy taken a toll on your abdomen, leaving you with drooping skin and separated stomach
muscles?
If you can relate to any of these sentiments, you are in good company. It is common for massive weight
loss, pregnancy, hereditary traits or the natural aging process to wreak havoc on the abdominal area.
Over time, the skin cells slowly stop generating collagen and elastin, two proteins that are integral to
maintaining healthy, elastic skin with the ability to shrink back to a smaller size and shape following
fluctuations in weight. In addition, pregnancy can cause the stomach muscles to divide or become
severely weakened, making it impossible to tone the tummy.
When this happens, no amount of sit-ups will improve the abdominal contour, and it might be time for
you to think about pursuing abdominoplasty, often referred to as “tummy tuck” surgery.
Campbell plastic surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz performs tummy tuck body contouring surgery to
eliminate loose skin hanging off the midsection and to repair severely damaged abdominal muscles,
resulting in a tighter, smoother abdominal profile and possibly even the look of “six-pack abs.”
At the Greater San Jose cosmetic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we are proud to be leaders in tummy
tuck surgery and to help our patients achieve a svelte midsection, allowing them to feel more self-
assured.
The Next Phase in Attaining Firmer, Flatter Abs
The first phase in achieving a tighter, slimmer midsection entails trying to reach this goal by following a
healthy diet and exercise routine, which you have already done. The next phase in the process involves
learning more about tummy tuck surgery and how it can help you achieve the firm midsection that has
eluded you thus far. Visiting our website is a valid indication that you are researching the procedure and
its benefits.
The next phase in attaining a flatter abdominal contour is to schedule a consultation to determine if you
are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
Remember, tummy tuck is a significant surgery, and aesthetically pleasing results can only be created by
a talented, extremely experienced plastic surgeon, such as Campbell body contouring surgeon Dr.
Berkowitz.
Dr. Berkowitz, a leading authority in the field of aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, is
renowned throughout North America for his uncompromising surgical skill and artistic vision. In
addition, he has taken great care in personally choosing each member of his staff to ensure that his
team is as passionate about providing extraordinary patient care as he is.
Start Your Journey to a Toned Tummy Today
If you avoid wearing bathing suits or form-fitting clothing because you are embarrassed about the lax
skin that hangs off your abdomen, now is the time to take action. You cannot achieve a taut tummy just
by thinking about it. However, you can start the process of attaining a toned tummy today, simply by
scheduling a consultation with Dr. Berkowitz to learn more about the procedure and establish if you are
an appropriate tummy tuck candidate.
Please contact us at (408) 559-7177 to schedule your personal consultation. Dr. Berkowitz will review
your medical history and unique anatomy as well as listen to your aesthetic concerns before outlining
the most appropriate treatment options to provide you with a smooth, svelte stomach contour.
Arm Lift

the backs of the upper arms, turn to Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.

Why Arm Lift Surgery Is Needed
Do you abstain from wearing sleeveless tops and bathing suits because you are self-conscious about the
look of your arms? Do you try to keep your arms pinned at your sides because you are embarrassed that
the sagging skin on the backs of your upper arms swings from side to side when you wave or motion
with your hands?
If you feel this way, you may be wasting valuable time thinking about a problem that is beyond your
control. As time passes, the body gradually halts the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that
our bodies need in order to maintain sound skin health. Without a sufficient amount of these proteins,
the skin loses its elasticity, rendering it unable to shrink back to its original shape or size. Furthermore,
substantial fluctuations in weight can compound the problem.
Once the skin has lost its elastic quality, it is impossible to restore it with diet and exercise. At this point,
body contouring surgery, such as arm lift surgery, becomes necessary to eliminate skin that has been
stretched out and is unable to return to a smaller shape.
Luckily, Campbell plastic surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz offers brachioplasty, also known as arm lift
surgery, to remove drooping excess skin and stubborn pockets of fat from the upper arm area. At the
Greater San Jose plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we are happy that we have been able to help
countless patients achieve a smoother upper arm contour, and we can provide you with similar results.
How to Pursue Arm Lift Surgery
Pursuing any type of surgery, including an elective procedure such as arm lift surgery, can seem like an
overwhelming task. There is so much information to learn on the matter that it may be difficult to figure
out where to begin. However, the great news is that you have already started on your journey to
attaining sculpted arms. Thinking about arm lift surgery and doing some preliminary research by visiting
our website is a solid signal that you have already taken the first step in your endeavor.
The secret to achieving your aesthetic goals is to take the process one step at a time. Now, it is time to
cross the second step off your list by scheduling an appointment with Dr. Berkowitz.
During consultation, Dr. Berkowitz will evaluate your unique anatomy, aesthetic desires and goals for
arm lift surgery. Then, he will recommend a surgical course of action that will best satisfy your
objectives.
Wave Goodbye to Flabby Arms!
At the Silicon Valley plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we realize that having excess skin on the
backs of your upper arms can be disheartening. It can detract from your overall positive body image and
make you feel self-conscious about your “problem area.”
That said, the only way you will be able to wave goodbye to the flaccid skin hanging off your upper arms
is to turn to a well-qualified, caring plastic surgeon such as Dr. Berkowitz for help. Dr. Berkowitz has
seen many cases like yours, and he knows how to help you achieve a slimmer arm contour.

Buttock Implant

When to Contemplate Buttock Implants
When you catch a glimpse of your derrière in the mirror, do you long for a fuller or more lifted buttock
profile? Do you dislike the way jeans or other types of pants hang unflatteringly off your flat backside?
Do you envy women who have a more curvaceous posterior contour?
Yes? Don’t worry; you are not the only one who feels this way. There is a greatly increasing number of
people in the United States who are having buttock implant surgery to achieve a perkier, bubble-like
posterior contour. If you feel that having a more voluminous derrière will help enhance your self-
confidence and improve your quality of life, you might be an appropriate candidate for buttock implant
surgery.
At the Campbell plastic surgery practice of Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz, we are experts in body contouring
and enhancement procedures. Dr. Berkowitz is a talented surgeon with a keen eye for artistry. He will

Berkowitz, he will evaluate your medical history and distinct anatomy as well as listen to your aesthetic
desires for the outcome of surgery. Taking all this into consideration, he will outline the most

with implants is a surgical procedure. Therefore, choosing an extremely experienced plastic surgeon —

Buttock Fat Grafting

Meta description: If you desire a natural-looking, curvier derriere, consider pursuing buttock fat grafting
in Campbell with cosmetic surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.
H1: Buttock Fat Grafting
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Buttock Fat Grafting Patients
When you walk down the street, do you find yourself gazing in admiration at other individuals’
posteriors? Do you wish you had a more voluminous derrière to fill out clothes? Do you feel as though
your flat backside is out of proportion with your other body parts? You are not alone.
If you believe that enhancing your posterior will satisfy your aesthetic concerns so you feel great about
the way you look, you might be a suitable candidate for buttock fat grafting in Campbell with board-
certified plastic surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.
With buttock fat grafting, also referred to as fat transfer, Dr. Berkowitz removes fat from a “donor site,”
such as the hips, thighs or abdomen, and, after purifying it, injects it into the buttock area to enhance
the size and shape of the buttocks. In particular, buttock fat grafting might be right for you if you desire
a more natural degree of buttock enhancement without the use of implants. (Dr. Berkowitz offers
buttock implants for those who would like more dramatic results.)
At the Silicon Valley plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we are experts in providing natural-looking
buttock enhancement.
Enhancing Your Posterior: What’s the Initial Step?
Good news: You have already completed the initial step toward enhancing your posterior with buttock
fat grafting.
Reflecting upon buttock fat grafting as a viable way to enhance your posterior profile, noticing other
peoples’ derrières and reviewing the information on our website is solid evidence that you have already
started researching the procedure.
The next step is to arrange an appointment, so Dr. Berkowitz can establish your candidacy for the
procedure. For instance, suitable buttock fat grafting patients must have a sufficient amount of fat at
the “donor site,” from which the Campbell plastic surgeon takes fat for use in augmenting the buttock
area.
It is important to note that, even without the use of buttock implants, buttock fat grafting is a serious
surgical process that should only be undertaken by a seasoned plastic surgeon. That seasoned surgeon is
R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD.
Dr. Berkowitz, an accomplished buttock enhancement expert, is admired by both colleagues and
patients across the North American continent for his surgical adeptness and artistic faculty. He is the
founder of and principal in a renowned plastic surgery practice. As such, he has carefully selected each
of his team members to ensure that they are as dedicated to delivering first-class patient care as he is.
Achieve Buttock Enhancement Today
At the Silicon Valley plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we are sympathetic to the feelings of
uncertainty that many buttock enhancement patients, like you, have.
You may be concerned that you will not attain the new buttock profile that you crave. Or perhaps you’re
worried about the safety and comfort of the surgery. You may also have heard plastic surgery horror
stories from patients whom Dr. Berkowitz did not treat. But don’t worry! Surgical complications and an
undesirable surgical outcome usually occur in patients who do not select a well-qualified plastic
surgeon.
You can trust Dr. Berkowitz. He has over three decades of plastic surgery experience helping patients
achieve outstanding aesthetic results. He knows how to keep you safe and how to give you the natural-
looking buttock enhancement results that you envision.

information about buttock fat grafting and can answer any questions you have in a straightforward
manner.

during surgery, facilitate a smooth recovery and provide you with stunning results to make you look
your best.

Body Lift

Meta description: If you are thinking about body lift surgery in San Jose to eliminate extra skin and fat
from the abdomen, hips or thighs, turn to Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.
H1: Body Lift Surgery
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Body Lift Patients
Could You Benefit From Body Lift Surgery?
Are you ashamed that you have folds of extra skin and fat that hang off the body? Have you tried to
make healthy lifestyle choices, including following a nutritious diet and exercising frequently, but cannot
improve the unsightly look of drooping skin in certain areas of the body?
If this seems familiar, do not feel ashamed. These aesthetic issues may not be your fault. As people age,
the body slowly halts the production of elastin and collagen, two proteins that are critical to the skin’s
health. As this happens, the skin loses its elasticity, causing it to sag off almost any area on the body,
from the thighs to the arms. Also, this aesthetic issue can be further compounded by other factors such
as drastic weight fluctuations or pregnancy.
If you suffer from sagging excess skin and fat on your upper arms, abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs or
buttocks, body lift surgery may be an appropriate procedure for you.
Body lift surgery is actually an umbrella term for any type of plastic surgery used to eliminate stubborn
excess fat and loose skin that has lost its elastic quality, as well as to repair the underlying musculature
and tissue structures in the area. For example, brachioplasty (arm lift surgery) and abdominoplasty
(“tummy tuck” surgery) are both body lift procedures.
At the Greater San Jose plastic surgery practice of R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, we offer body lift surgery
to sculpt a single area or multiple areas of the body, providing a smoother, firmer contour throughout
the treated area. We also provide lower body lift, or “trunk lift,” to sculpt the entire lower half of the
body.
What’s Next When Pursuing Body Lift Surgery?
Achieving a more contoured physique with the help of plastic surgery can seem like an overwhelming
undertaking. Given the amount of information on the subject, it’s hard to know where to start. But, you
will be happy to know that you have already started on the path to achieving a more sculpted figure. By
contemplating body lift surgery and exploring your body contouring options on our website, it’s clear
that you are on the right course.
The key to accomplishing your aesthetic objectives is to approach the process step by step. You have
already completed step one. Now, complete step two by arranging a consultation with Campbell plastic
surgeon Dr. Berkowitz.
You consultation appointment is a great time to discuss your cosmetic concerns and surgical goals with
Dr. Berkowitz. During consultation, the Silicon Valley cosmetic surgeon also evaluates your medical
history and anatomical needs. He takes all this information into consideration and formulates a surgical
treatment plan that is most appropriate for you.
Make Your Saggy Body Contour a Thing of the Past
At the Campbell cosmetic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we are aware that having folds of loose skin
that hang off the body can be deeply disconcerting. Even if you try to keep a positive outlook, being
ashamed of your body can chip away at your self-confidence.
However, we cannot help you achieve your ideal physique unless you reach out to us. Dr. Berkowitz
knows how to address your aesthetic concerns, but he also needs your help to help you. Simply schedule
an appointment with him and he will help make your saggy body contour a thing of the past.

Eyelid Surgery

sagging upper and/or lower eyelids, turn to Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.
H1: Eyelid Surgery
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Eyelid Surgery Patients
When It’s Time to Try Eyelid Surgery
Do other individuals often remark that you look exhausted, even when you have gotten plenty of sleep?
Do people frequently ask if you are depressed or upset, even though you feel fine? These can be
frustrating occurrences, but they also may be an indication that you are suffering from sagging upper
eyelids, lower eyelids or both.
Over time, skin cells gradually stop producing elastin and collagen, which are necessary to maintain
proper skin health. This causes the skin to lose its elastic nature, so it starts to sag. In addition, fat can
become displaced over time. These factors often lead to drooping eyelids that make you look
perpetually tired or sad.
If you are tired of others asking if you are tired, it might be time to try eyelid surgery.
At the Silicon Valley plastic surgery practice of R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, we treat individuals seeking
blepharoplasty in Palo Alto, Santa Clara, San Jose, Los Gatos and Campbell. With blepharoplasty, or
eyelid surgery, Dr. Berkowitz removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both
to provide patients with a more refreshed, youthful appearance throughout the eye area. He can also
improve the look of “bags” underneath the eyes.
Achieving a Refreshed Look: What’s Your Next Move?
The thought may not have occurred to you, but you have already started on your way to achieving a
refreshed, younger look throughout the eye area.
By reviewing the information on this website, you have already taken the first step toward achieving a
renewed look.
Your next move is to arrange a consultation, so Dr. Berkowitz can establish if you are a suitable
candidate for the procedure, examine your unique facial structure and discuss your aesthetic concerns.
The Greater San Jose blepharoplasty specialist then compiles all this information to develop a surgical
strategy that will satisfy your distinct medical needs and cosmetic desires. During consultation, Dr.
Berkowitz will also explain the eyelid surgery process in detail and answer all your questions.
Wake Up Looking Rested After a Good Night’s Rest
If you are tired of waking up morning after morning with the same exhausted look throughout your eye
area — even after you have gotten a good night’s rest — it’s time to do something about it: Contact Dr.
Berkowitz for assistance.
As an experienced provider of blepharoplasty in Campbell, Dr. Berkowitz understands that reaching out
for help can be difficult. You have questions and concerns. You want to be sure that you are in capable
hands, and that you will get the restorative results you are after. You want to feel certain that you will
be safe and comfortable throughout eyelid surgery.
We understand your concerns and would like to put your reservations to rest. You can feel confident
knowing that Dr. Berkowitz is a board-certified plastic surgeon — and former assistant professor of
surgery at world-renowned Stanford University — with more than three decades of cosmetic facial
surgery experience. He has the know-how to give you a refreshed look throughout the eyes, without
making you look like you have had a lot of “work” done. And, he implements every safeguard available
to maximize your safety and comfort throughout and after your procedure.
These are only some of the reasons that the respected Campbell plastic surgeon was voted Metro’s 2013
Best Plastic Surgeon of Silicon Valley, and that you can trust him to give you the aesthetic results you
want, safely.
If you are ready to wake up looking rested after a good night’s rest — finally! — schedule a consultation

Brow Lift

eyebrow line, contact Campbell facial surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.
H1: Brow Lift Surgery
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Brow Lift Patients
Why Seek Out Brow Lift Surgery
Do other people frequently assume you are angry when you are not? When you glance in the mirror, do
you feel as though you always have a perplexed expression on your face? Do find that your eyebrows
hang so low that it affects your vision?
Aside from the frustrating nature of these developments, they might also be a sign that your eyebrow
line has started to sink. With age, the body’s cells slowly decrease the amount of collagen and elastin
that they produce. Without an adequate amount of these proteins, which are necessary for good skin
health, the skin begins to sag. In addition, the aging process can contribute to the displacement of facial
fat and the loss of muscle tone throughout the face. All these forces can cause the brow line to become
heavy and start to droop, sometimes below the line of vision, resulting in an angry or confused look.
If you suffer from any of these visible signs of aging throughout the forehead / eyebrow area, you might
want to seek out brow lift surgery.
At the Silicon Valley plastic surgery practice of R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, we perform brow lift surgery
to eliminate sagging excess skin and displaced fact from the eyebrow area. With brow lift surgery, the
Campbell facial rejuvenation surgeon can also repair supporting structures that have lost muscle tone.
This relatively quick procedure can be performed alone to provide a refreshed, happy, youthful
appearance throughout the forehead and eyebrow area, or in conjunction with another cosmetic
procedure to rejuvenate multiple areas of the face at once.
Attaining a Happy, Relaxed Look: How Should You Proceed?
You may not recognize this, but you are already on the right path toward attaining a happy, relaxed look
throughout your forehead / eyebrow area.
When you started seriously considering brow lift surgery as a feasible way to lift your eyebrow line and
achieve a smoother contour throughout the forehead, you began your journey down the path toward
accomplishing your aesthetic goals.
To proceed along that same path and get a step closer to your ultimate objective, schedule a
consultation.
You consultation is the perfect opportunity to let Dr. Berkowitz know about your cosmetic concerns and
your objectives for the outcome of surgery. It is also the perfect opportunity for Dr. Berkowitz to
distinguish whether you are a suitable candidate for brow lift surgery, or perhaps a different cosmetic
procedure that you may not have considered yet. Rest assured that Dr. Berkowitz will use your
consultation to review your unique surgical needs and goals, so he can take them into account when
devising a cosmetic treatment plan that will help you reach your aesthetic objectives.
Find Out What Brow Lift Surgery Can Do for You
At the Silicon Valley plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we see many patients, like you, who have

Mid Facelift

Meta description: Consider mid facelift surgery with Campbell facelift surgeon Dr. R. Laurence
Berkowitz to help combat visible signs of aging.
H1: Mid Facelift Surgery
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Mid Facelift Patients
When to Take Action Against Visible Signs of Facial Aging
Have you noticed that visible signs of aging have developed throughout the middle of your face? For
instance, are you bothered by sagging skin on the front of your cheeks? Are you troubled by the hollow
pockets that have formed under your eyes?
If you feel this way, you should know that you are not the only one who shares these sentiments. Over
time, the natural aging process starts to catch up with us. Skin cells stop producing as much collagen and
elastin as they did in the past. Unfortunately, without these proteins that are essential for healthy skin,
the skin starts to lose its elasticity. When this happens, the skin sags. Fat migrates to undesirable areas
of the face. Facial muscle tone is lost. These all contribute to the development of visible signs of aging on
the face.
If the noticeable signs of aging seem to be concentrated in the central region of your face (from beneath
the eyes to the area around the mouth), you might be a suitable candidate for mid facelift surgery. Mid
facelift surgery is a less extensive version of traditional, full facelift surgery.
Greater San Jose plastic surgeon R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, offers mid facelift in Campbell for patients
with sagging cheeks, sunken pockets beneath the eyes and / or facial wrinkles in the central region of
the face. Mid facelift surgery is best for those who do not yet have extensive signs of aging throughout
the entire face. For this reason, appropriate mid facelift candidates are typically younger than traditional
facelift candidates.
How to Take Action Against Noticeable Signs of Aging
You might not know it, but you are already taking action against the visible signs of facial aging. By
considering mid facelift surgery and doing some preliminary research about the topic on our website,
you have already begun to take some initial action.
Next, you should set up a consultation to determine your candidacy for the mid facelift procedure.
The initial consultation gives Dr. Berkowitz a chance to evaluate your facial structure and medical
history. It also gives the Silicon Valley facial rejuvenation surgeon a chance to listen to your cosmetic
concerns and desires for the procedure. He takes all this information into account to develop a facial
surgery protocol that is best suited for your needs. He may suggest mid facelift surgery, another facelift
surgical approach or a combination of procedures to enhance the aesthetic effects of surgery.
Experience the Effects of Mid Facelift for Yourself
At the Campbell cosmetic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we are sensitive to the concerns of our
patients, many of whom are like you. You may be concerned that you will not achieve the rejuvenating
effects that you envision. Or, perhaps you are concerned about your safety or comfort level for the
duration of the procedure.
But you don’t need to worry. Dr. Berkowitz is a highly trusted provider of facial rejuvenation surgery in
the Silicon Valley. In fact, he has been voted Metro’s 2013 Best Plastic Surgeon of Silicon Valley. The
Campbell plastic surgeon is respected by colleagues and patients around North America for his precision
in surgery and his artistic savvy. Thanks to his broad surgical expertise, Dr. Berkowitz is able to provide
patients, like you, with rejuvenating, natural-looking results from mid facelift surgery.
If you feel as though the appearance of your face is making you look older than your actual age, there is
something you can do: Experience the aesthetic effects of mid facelift surgery for yourself. Simply
schedule a consultation with Dr. Berkowitz, and he will let you know how to proceed from there. Before
you know it, you could have a rejuvenated appearance throughout the face that will take years off your
look.

H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Lower Facelift Patients
Why Lower Facelift May Be Beneficial
When you look in the mirror, are you frustrated that visible signs of aging have started to creep up, in
the lower region of your face? Are you bothered that you have deep facial folds around your mouth
area? Are you troubled by sagging jowls? Do you dislike the skin that sags off your neck area or the
banded look of your neck?
If so, you are probably experiencing common signs of facial aging. Over time, constant sun exposure,
exposure to pollution, certain lifestyle choices such as smoking, hereditary factors, the effect of gravity
or simply the body’s inherent aging process can lead to drooping skin, displaced fat and the loss of
muscle tone. When these developments occur, you might start to look older than you feel at heart.
Thankfully, Greater San Jose plastic surgeon R. Laurence Berkowitz offers lower facelift surgery to create
a more youthful appearance in the lower region of the face. Lower facelift surgery is a modified facelift
approach that focuses on correcting deep lines and wrinkles in the lower half of the face, as well as
drooping jowls, sagging neck skin and the appearance of horizontal bands across the neck. It is generally
less intensive than full traditional facelift surgery.
Restoring the Youthful Look of Your Lower Face: What to Do Next
If you feel as though lower facelift surgery could help to restore a more youthful look to the lower
region of your face, you are ready to take the next step: Book a consultation to establish whether you
are an appropriate lower facelift candidate.
Suitable candidates for the modified facelift approach usually have fewer signs of facial aging that are
concentrated in the lower area of the face. Thus, lower facelift candidates are typically younger than full
facelift candidates. Certain individuals may benefit from undergoing other cosmetic treatments, such as
eyelid lift surgery or nonsurgical BOTOX® injectable treatment, either in conjunction with lower facelift
surgery or possibly instead of. The only way to know for certain if you are an appropriate candidate for
lower facelift is to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Berkowitz.

MACS Facelift

Meta description: If you are pursuing MACS facelift surgery in San Jose to improve the look of mild to
moderate sagging in the lower face, contact Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.

H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell MACS Facelift Patients
When you see your reflection in the mirror, do you immediately home in on the loose skin that is
starting to droop off your cheeks? Are you constantly preoccupied with negative thoughts about the
jowls that have started to develop in the lower region of your face? Are you bothered by the wrinkles
that are cropping up throughout the bottom half of your face?
If you said “yes” to any of these questions, you are most likely experiencing a common problem: the
development of mild to moderate signs of aging on the face. Unfortunately, no one can stop the aging
process. Over time, frequent exposure to the sun’s harsh ultraviolet rays and to pollution can cause
facial damage or premature aging of the face. Hereditary factors and lifestyle habits can also contribute
to premature aging. Whatever the cause, skin starts to sag, and fat becomes displaced; muscle tone
dwindles. These in turn lead to sagging cheeks, jowls, loose skin under the chin, wrinkles and other signs
of aging.
That said, you may be grateful to know that although no one can stop the aging process, Campbell
facelift surgeon R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, can help you look as you once did. At the Greater San Jose
cosmetic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we offer MACS (minimal access cranial suspension) facelift
surgery to address mild to moderate signs of aging in the lower facial region.
MACS facelift surgery is a modified facelift approach involving a shorter incision (usually in the shape of
an “s” and placed directly in front of the ear) and less extensive tissue repair. Due to these
modifications, MACS facelift surgery patients typically experience a shorter and perhaps less intense
recovery period than those who have undergone full, mid or lower facelift surgery.
How to Proceed in the Fight Against Facial Aging
If you think that you might benefit from MACS facelift surgery, you are ready to proceed in the fight
against facial aging. This entails making an appointment to verify your candidacy for the procedure.
Due to the shorter incision used in MACS facelift surgery, Dr. Berkowitz is not able to perform
substantial tissue repair with this modified facelift approach. Therefore, MACS facelift candidates do not
have significant signs of aging throughout the entire face. Individuals with more extensive facial aging
may be better candidates for traditional facelift surgery. Those who are not suitable candidates for
MACS facelift also may be eligible for a different surgical or nonsurgical cosmetic treatment, such as
neck lift surgery, dermal filler treatment or laser skin resurfacing treatment.
There are many factors to take into account when determining the most appropriate treatment protocol
for patients. That is why it is so important to schedule a consultation with a well-qualified, experienced
plastic surgeon such as Dr. Berkowitz.
During consultation, Dr. Berkowitz examines your distinct facial structure and reviews your medical
history. He also listens to your cosmetic concerns and surgical objectives. He then uses this information
to formulate a treatment plan that may include one cosmetic surgery procedure, multiple surgical
procedures, nonsurgical treatment options or a combination of any of these.
See What MACS Facelift Surgery Can Do for You
At the Greater San Jose cosmetic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we are sympathetic to the range of
emotions that many of our patients, like you, experience before undergoing facial rejuvenation surgery.
In addition to being eager to experience the aesthetic effects of facelift surgery, you want to ensure that
the surgical results turn out the way you imagine. You may also be nervous about your safety and
comfort level during MACS facelift surgery.
Although we completely understand your concerns, we want you to know that you do not have to feel
anxious about the procedure — or your surgical outcome. You are in extremely capable hands with Dr.
Berkowitz.
Dr. Berkowitz was selected as Metro’s Best Plastic Surgeon of Silicon Valley in 2013. The Silicon Valley
facial surgeon has more than three decades of professional experience, during which he has helped
countless patients achieve a more youthful look throughout the face. In addition, Dr. Berkowitz has
earned hospital privileges at some of the most prestigious medical institutions in California, including
Stanford University Hospital. He combines surgical skill, artistic ability, attention to safety and
compassion to deliver stunning, natural-looking results with MACS facelift surgery.

of facial aging, plastic surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz can help.
H1: Facelift Surgery
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Facelift Patients
When Should You Consider Facelift Surgery?
When you see photos of yourself, are you shocked to find that signs of aging on your face are making
you look much older than your actual age? Do you feel young in spirit, but wish your facial appearance
better matched your youthful nature? Are you frustrated with sagging skin, wrinkles, lines, hollow
pockets, jowls and other signs of aging throughout all areas of your face?
If you can relate to the sentiments above, it may help to know that you are not the only one who feels
this way. Regrettably, everyone experiences the effects of the natural aging process at one time or
another. As time goes on, the cells in our body produce less and less elastin and collagen, proteins that
are crucial for healthy, younger-looking skin. A lack of elastin and collagen ultimately causes skin to lose
its elasticity, leading to loose, drooping skin. Also, fat migrates to undesirable regions of the face, and
facial muscles lose their tone. These developments result in noticeable signs of aging on the face. In
addition, overexposure to the sun, hereditary traits and lifestyle choices such as smoking can accelerate
facial aging.
Thankfully, there is a solution: Undergo facelift surgery in Campbell with Silicon Valley plastic surgeon R.
Laurence Berkowitz. Dr. Berkowitz performs facelift surgery to eliminate excess skin and fat from facial
areas as well as to repair weak facial muscles and underlying tissues. With facelift surgery, Dr. Berkowitz
can help stave off the visible signs of facial aging.
Turning Back the Hands of Time: Where Do You Begin?
You might be surprised — and happy— to know that you have already begun your journey to achieving a
more youthful facial appearance. By considering facelift surgery as a way to improve signs of aging on
the face, you have shown that you are well on your way to “turning back the hands of time.”
You may be wondering what to do next. It’s easy: Your next step is to schedule an appointment to find
out if you are a suitable candidate for traditional facelift surgery.
This step is integral to attaining a natural, rejuvenated look throughout the face, because only a highly
trained, board-certified plastic surgeon with substantial experience can properly determine facelift
candidacy. For instance, you may think that facelift surgery is your only facial rejuvenation option.
However, Dr. Berkowitz offers several treatment options, including modified facelift techniques that
require less downtime than traditional facelift and nonsurgical cosmetic treatment options such as
BOTOX injectable treatment. After evaluating your individual cosmetic concerns and distinct facial
structure, Dr. Berkowitz may recommend a treatment plan that had not occurred to you but is better
suited to help you accomplish your surgical objectives.

Facial Fat Grafting

grafting in Campbell with plastic surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.
H1: Facial Fat Grafting
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Facial Fat Grafting Patients
When Facial Fat Grafting Might Help
Do you frequently find yourself staring in the mirror, wishing you could change something about your
facial appearance? Do you wish you could replace lost volume in the areas of your face that look hollow?
Do you wish you could enhance the look of certain facial features or your overall facial contour? If so,
you are in excellent company.
If you, like many other individuals, would like to restore fullness to hollow pockets of the face (e.g.,
sunken cheeks, dark under-eye regions) or enhance the look of facial features (e.g., cheekbones, lips),
facial fat grafting might be able to help.
With facial fat grafting Campbell plastic surgeon R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, takes excess fat from an
area of the body that is naturally higher in fat content (e.g., the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, etc.),
purifies it and re-injects it into the area of the face that requires enhancement.
At the Silicon Valley plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we are proud to be innovators in the field
of facial cosmetic surgery, providing facial fat grafting in Campbell to help our patients achieve a more
youthful look with stunning, harmonious facial features.
Enhancing Your Facial Features: How to Get Started
If you are wondering how to begin your journey to achieving gorgeous, well-balanced facial features,
you no longer have to wonder. By contemplating facial fat grafting and perusing our website to learn
more about the leading-edge procedure, you have already taken a step toward enhancing your facial
contour and / or features.
The next item of business is to schedule a consultation to find out if you are an appropriate candidate
for facial fat grafting. One advantage of fat grafting is that it uses your own natural fat, so there is
minimal risk of an adverse reaction; however, it is not suitable for those who desire dramatic aesthetic
enhancement. For instance, individuals who would like a prominent cheek contour or those with very
little body fat at the donor site(s) might be better candidates for cheek implants than they are for facial
fat grafting.
Only a knowledgeable, experienced facial plastic surgeon such as Dr. Berkowitz is able to make these
types of distinctions; therefore, you should only trust a surgeon like Dr. Berkowitz to establish candidacy
and perform your surgery.
Start on Your Journey to Enhancing Your Natural Beauty Today
At the Greater San Jose facial plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we respect the challenges that
many prospective patients, like you, face. You worry about undergoing a surgical procedure; you wonder
if you will get the results you desire.
You may also be concerned about the cosmetic surgery horror stories you have heard. However, serious
surgical complications are extremely rare and typically develop in patients who fail to select an
experienced surgeon. This will not happen to you if you choose a well-qualified facial surgeon such as
Dr. Berkowitz.
Thanks to his 30-plus years of cosmetic surgery experience, you can trust Dr. Berkowitz. Because he has
completed hundreds of facial procedures, he is familiar with nearly every potential complication, and is
thus able to anticipate any scenario that might arise. It is normal to fear what you are not familiar with,
but Dr. Berkowitz will help familiarize you with the facial fat grafting procedure. Once you learn the facts
and what to expect from the innovative technique, your hesitations will disappear, and you will be even
more excited to experience the aesthetic results of facial fat grafting for yourself.

Rhinoplasty

rhinoplasty in Campbell with facial plastic surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.
H1: Rhinoplasty
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Rhinoplasty Patients
When Rhinoplasty Might Be the Answer
Do you constantly find yourself scrutinizing your appearance in the mirror, longing to improve the look
of your nose? Do you desire a smaller, better proportioned or more symmetrical nose? Do you have
chronic breathing problems, especially when you are sleeping? You are not alone.
If you believe that addressing the size, shape or asymmetrical nature of your nose will enhance your
self-confidence and allow you to spend less time scrutinizing your facial appearance, you may be an
appropriate candidate for rhinoplasty, or nose surgery. In addition, if you feel that correcting a nasal
structural issue will help you breathe easier, you may also be a suitable rhinoplasty candidate.
At the Greater San Jose plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we understand how all the facial
features work together to create a beautifully proportioned face. We are proud to be able to use that
knowledge and our innate artistic acumen to create the ideal nose for our patients.
Achieving Your Ideal Nose: How to Initiate the Process
Perhaps you are curious about how to initiate the nose surgery process. The good news is that you
already have!
Thinking about nose surgery, noticing what you like about other individuals’ noses and reviewing the
information on our website are all signs that you have already initiated the process of achieving your
ideal nose.
What is the next step? Schedule an appointment to learn if you are a suitable rhinoplasty candidate.
Although nose surgery is an excellent option for some people, it is not appropriate for everyone. For
example, rhinoplasty is generally not appropriate for children, because their noses have not yet stopped
growing.
Only a distinguished plastic surgeon like Dr. Berkowitz can rightly establish rhinoplasty candidacy. That is
why it is best to turn to a respected, board-certified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Berkowitz, to establish
your candidacy and complete your rhinoplasty procedure.
Your Ideal Nasal Profile: Now a Reality
At the Campbell plastic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we understand the concerns that prospective
nose surgery patients sometimes have. You’re probably aware that undergoing any type of surgery is a
serious undertaking and you may feel anxious about it. In addition, you may be apprehensive,
wondering if you will like your rhinoplasty results. Not to mention, you know others who have suffered
serious surgical complications at the hands of another surgeon.
Don’t worry: Severe complications from rhinoplasty are rare and normally occur in patients who do not
select a respected plastic surgeon like Dr. Berkowitz. Dr. Berkowitz takes every available precaution to
minimize your risk of surgical complications.
Dr. Berkowitz is trusted by both peers and patients across the United States and Canada. He has
successfully performed hundreds of nose surgeries over a career spanning more than 30 years. Thanks

your concerns. It is common to feel anxious about that which you do not know. That is the reason that
Dr. Berkowitz makes sure to educate his patients on all aspects of rhinoplasty. As soon as you have
heard the facts, your anxieties tend to subside, paving the way for your excitement about achieving your
ideal nose.

Revision Rhinoplasty

turn to Campbell revision rhinoplasty surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.
H1: Revision Rhinoplasty
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Revision Rhinoplasty Patients
When to Seek Help in Correcting Initial Rhinoplasty Results
Have you undergone a primary rhinoplasty (nose surgery) procedure, but are unsatisfied with the
results? Do you feel as though your nose is still too large, too oddly shaped or asymmetrical despite
having rhinoplasty once already? Do you wish you had consulted with a more qualified plastic surgeon,
and allowed that person to perform your nose surgery?
If you find yourself nodding in agreement, it might be helpful to know that you are not the only one out
there who has suffered this same fate. Furthermore, you may be an appropriate candidate for revision
rhinoplasty to correct your original results.
Thanks to Dr. Berkowitz’s broad expertise in revision rhinoplasty, countless individuals have turned to
the talented Campbell rhinoplasty surgeon for help after allowing another, less-qualified surgeon to
perform their initial nose surgery.
Typically, revision rhinoplasty is more difficult than the primary procedure. This is due in part to the fact
that a certain degree of contouring has already been accomplished, and therefore there may be less of
the remaining nasal structure to work with. That is why it is essential that a highly skilled plastic surgeon
with substantial experience performing revision rhinoplasty — such as Dr. Berkowitz — performs your
revision procedure.
Correcting Your Initial Rhinoplasty Results: Where Do You Begin?
The answer is easy: You have already begun.
You are already familiar with the rhinoplasty procedure. You already know what you would like your
ideal nose to look like. It is time to apply that insight to your second attempt at achieving your dream
nose.
Now, however, it is important that you understand the repercussions of choosing an inexperienced
rhinoplasty surgeon to perform your procedure. So, this time, select a board-certified plastic surgeon
with more revision rhinoplasty experience — one who is trusted by Silicon Valley rhinoplasty patients
from Palo Alto to Los Gatos, and beyond.
Dr. Berkowitz has more than three decades of experience in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.
The Campbell rhinoplasty surgeon has been selected as Metro’s Best Plastic Surgeon of Silicon Valley for
three years, most recently in 2013. Dr. Berkowitz is a skilled and compassionate surgeon with a sharp
eye for aesthetic detail. He can help you achieve your ideal nose, even if you did not the first time
around.
Your Ideal Nose: Finally Within Your Reach
Top Silicon Valley rhinoplasty specialist Dr. Berkowitz sees many prospective nose surgery patients, like
you, who hesitate to undergo revision rhinoplasty. You were disappointed with your first rhinoplasty
results and are unsure if you will experience the same disappointments with a revision procedure.
Nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind that you probably received unsatisfactory results from your
initial nose surgery because your surgeon was inexperienced or did not listen to your aesthetic desires.
This will not happen to you with Dr. Berkowitz.
Trust that the Campbell rhinoplasty surgeon has extensive experience and has seen almost every
circumstance imaginable, so he knows what it will take to accomplish your surgical goals. In addition, he
carefully listens to his patients and approaches each procedure with his patients’ unique concerns in
mind.
Your ideal nose is finally within your reach. You just have to reach out to Dr. Campbell first.

Chin Surgery

facial features, trust facial surgeon Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.

How to Know if You Should Consider Chin Surgery
When you see a photo or a reflection of yourself, are you disappointed in the way your chin looks? Are
you bothered by your underbite? Do you wish you could improve the contour of your chin or jawline,
whether by sculpting it, enhancing it or bringing the receding bottom jaw forward?
If you feel as though having a more pronounced chin or an improved chin contour will help you feel
more confident, you might want to consider chin surgery.
At the Campbell cosmetic surgery practice of R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, we are extremely experienced
in a range of facial surgery procedures, including mentoplasty, or chin surgery. Mentoplasty typically
entails enhancing the look of the chin with an implant, surgically reducing the bone to contour the chin
or advancing the chin forward to bring it into proper alignment with the rest of the jaw. In addition, the
Silicon Valley chin surgeon may recommend mentoplasty to improve the aesthetic results of rhinoplasty,
as the look of the chin can enhance or detract from the look of the nose, often bringing a sense of
balance to all facial features.
Attaining a Distinguished Chin Contour: Where Do You Start?
You might be surprised by the answer — you already have.
Thinking about chin surgery as a feasible way to augment or reduce your chin as well as visiting our
website for further details about the procedure are two signs that you have started on your way to
attaining a distinguished chin contour.
Your next move entails setting up a consultation with a knowledgeable plastic surgeon, such as Dr.
Berkowitz, to determine if you are an appropriate mentoplasty candidate. Although chin surgery is a
great option for some patients, other patients may benefit from dermal filler treatment in the chin area,
or rhinoplasty (nose surgery), either in conjunction with chin surgery or instead of mentoplasty.
There are many treatment options available to help you achieve your ideal chin contour, some of which
you or an inexperienced surgeon may not be familiar with. Only a plastic surgeon with a meticulous eye
for artistic detail can properly establish candidacy for chin surgery and recommend a suitable course of
action.
Achieving a Stunning Chin Profile Today
Campbell chin surgery specialist Dr. Berkowitz is highly sought after by many prospective chin surgery
patients, like you, who are considering mentoplasty but still have some concerns about the procedure.
Perhaps you are concerned that you will not attain the cosmetic results you want. Or, you may be
wondering if you will be safe and comfortable throughout chin surgery.
You may also have heard unsettling anecdotes about chin surgery patients who suffered from severe
surgical complications. However, such complications are extremely uncommon and usually happen to
individuals who did not choose a well-trained, knowledgeable surgeon like Dr. Berkowitz.
With Dr. Berkowitz, you can feel confident that you will remain safe and comfortable throughout the
procedure — and that you will get the aesthetic results you are after. He has been practicing facial
plastic surgery for over 30 years. Metro magazine selected Dr. Berkowitz as the 2013 Best Plastic
Surgeon of Silicon Valley. For these reasons and more, you can rest assured you are in good hands.

Neck Surgery

Meta description: If you long for a smooth neck contour without any loose skin or extra fat, consider
undergoing neck surgery in Campbell with Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz.
H1: Neck Surgery
H2: Treating Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell Neck Surgery Patients
Why Pursue Neck Surgery
Are you frustrated with excessive skin that hangs off your neck? Have you noticed that horizontal bands
have formed across your neck? Are you bothered that the look of your neck is making you look much
older than you actually are?
Yes? Then you might be prematurely suffering the consequences of the natural aging process. As time
goes on, the body generates less and less collagen and elastin, two proteins that are fundamental for
healthy, elastic skin. Without enough of these proteins, the skin loses its elastic quality, causing it to sag.
In addition, fat can migrate and become trapped under the skin. Also, the muscles in our face and neck
can lose their tone. These are often the culprits behind an unsightly neck contour.
Fortunately, Silicon Valley facial surgeon R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, can help combat the visible signs of
aging on the neck — with neck surgery. Dr. Berkowitz performs neck surgery in Campbell to remove
excess skin and fat from the neck area, and to restore muscle tone to the neck muscles. These actions
result in a smoother, younger-looking neck.
Achieving a More Youthful Neck Contour: What Is the First Step?
Believe it or not, you have already taken the first step in achieving a more youthful neck contour by
considering neck surgery as a viable option and by conducting preliminary research on the topic.
Next, you should arrange a consultation with a talented facial plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Berkowitz, to
find out if you are a suitable candidate for neck surgery.
Neck surgery is an effective option for some people. On the other hand, certain individuals may benefit
from a different procedure, either in combination with neck lift surgery or instead of it. For instance,
individuals with good skin elasticity and muscle tone may benefit from liposuction in the neck area.
Other patients might benefit from BOTOX injectable therapy, either in conjunction with neck surgery or
in place of it. That is why it is so important to consult with a well-qualified plastic surgeon who
understands the host of treatment options available and can help you make an informed decision about
which treatment protocol is right for you.
Attain a Younger-Looking Neck Contour Now
At the Campbell cosmetic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we are familiar with the feelings many
prospective neck surgery patients, like you, may be experiencing. You may be worried that you will not
achieve the aesthetic results you seek. Perhaps you’re asking yourself, Will I be safe and comfortable
during surgery?
The answer is yes — if you select an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Berkowitz.
With more than three decades of facial plastic surgery experience, Dr. Berkowitz has seen it all, so he
knows how to give you the smooth, youthful neck contour that you want. Furthermore, thanks to his
surgical skill and kind-hearted bedside manner, the Campbell neck surgeon has been recognized as
Metro’s 2013 Best Plastic Surgeon of Silicon Valley.

Introducing VASER® Shape Nonsurgical Body Shaping Treatment
Do you suffer from cellulite on the backs of your thighs, on your hips or on another part of your body?
Do you want to get rid of the unsightly dimpling on your skin, but are not yet ready to undergo a body
contouring plastic surgery procedure such as liposuction? Have you tried various topical cellulite
treatments, but have not attained the long-lasting results you desire?
If you responded affirmatively to any of these questions, you might be an excellent candidate for
nonsurgical VASER® Shape treatment.
The Campbell plastic surgery practice of R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, proudly offers VASER® Shape, a
revolutionary noninvasive cosmetic treatment, to improve the look of cellulite and shape areas of the
body without the downtime, scarring or cost associated with plastic surgery.
“VASER Shape is a great body-shaping alternative for those who do not want an invasive surgical
procedure,” says R. Laurence Berkowitz, M.D. “It is ideal for the average person who wants to target a
specific problem area with zero downtime. So far my patients have seen excellent results in just a few
treatments – from the mother who wants to return to her pre-baby body to a woman who wants to
extinguish the appearance of cellulite on her thighs.”
How VASER® Shape Treatment Works
To understand how the revolutionary VASER® Shape treatment works, it is important to first understand
how cellulite is formed. When toxins and other outside forces infiltrate the body, they can cause the
underlying tissue structures to become rigid. When the fibers underneath the skin become rigid and
inflexible, fat cells can get caught within the fibers. These stubborn pockets of fat begin to pull on the
overlying skin, resulting in the appearance of dimples on the skin’s surface, otherwise known as cellulite.
The VASER® Shape MC1™system improves the look of cellulite by employing a combination of ultrasonic
energy and a massaging action.
During treatment, the VASER® Shape professional uses a device to transmit ultrasonic energy (or high-
frequency sound waves) deep into the subcutaneous tissue layers (i.e., the layers of tissue underneath
the skin), delivering heat to the trapped fat cells in the area. The heat destroys the fat cells, so the body
can expel them as waste through its natural detoxification process. The massaging action of the VASER®
Shape system stimulates the body’s lymphatic system to encourage further the drainage of toxins and
other waste. This innovative system temporarily improves the look of cellulite and provides a smoother
skin contour throughout the treated area, with long-lasting results.
In addition to improving the appearance of cellulite, the VASER® Shape system also provides temporary
relief of minor muscle aches, pains and spasms. It can also provide temporary improvement in local
blood circulation. Thanks to these healing effects, VASER® Shape treatment is often used in conjunction
with plastic surgery body contouring procedures to minimize pain and swelling after surgery.
Each treatment session takes approximately one hour, so you can undergo VASER® Shape treatment on
your lunch break and return to work or your normal activities with no downtime.

When to Seek Out Laser Skin Treatment
Have you noticed that your skin, especially your facial skin, has started to look dull and discolored? Are
you bothered by the uneven skin tone, rough texture and / or dark spots that have recently developed
on your face? Do you suffer from facial wrinkles and / or loose facial skin that has begun to sag? Do you
have scars left over from acne or surgery? Or, do you simply have an undesirable amount of hair on your
face or another part of your body that you would like to remove?
Even if you only answered “yes” to one of these questions, you might benefit from one of the many
laser skin treatments offered at the Silicon Valley cosmetic surgery practice of R. Laurence Berkowitz,
MD. At the practice of Campbell plastic surgeon Dr. Berkowitz, we employ the Sciton laser system, which
can be used in a host of laser skin treatments, to address a broad range of cosmetic concerns, including:
lax facial skin, uneven skin tone, rough texture, winkles, acne, scarring, hyper-pigmented lesions (dark
spots), visible blood vessels and unwanted hair.
What Causes These Various Skin Concerns
The skin is the largest organ in the body. As such, your skin has a variety of aesthetic needs, which only
increase with time.
In fact, over time, the skin cells slowly stop generating collagen and elastin, proteins that are integral to
maintaining healthy, young-looking skin. Without an ample supply of these proteins, the skin loses its
elastic quality and starts to sag. In addition, constant exposure to the sun and other elements starts to
take a toll on the face. Facial skin becomes rough or uneven in tone and texture. Large pores, dark spots,
wrinkles and sometimes even blood vessels appear. Furthermore, acne and unwanted hair can cause
pesky cosmetic issues.
Thankfully, the Sciton laser system can address these cosmetic problems and more! Please see below for
more information about the specific treatments offered at the Greater San Jose cosmetic surgery
practice of Dr. Berkowitz.
MicroLaserPeel® – You can resurface the superficial layers of your skin with this quick and effective laser
treatment. With MicroLaserPeel®, the medical skin care professional scans a laser beam over the
treatment area to ablate, or vaporize, the top layer of skin, eliminating the old, damaged skin cells to
reveal the fresher, healthier skin underneath. This treatment effectively treats minor wrinkles, scars,
keratosis, sun damage (e.g., freckles) and pigment irregularities on the face and neck as well as on the
chest and hands.
ProFractional Therapy – With this fractional laser skin resurfacing treatment, you can improve the look
of wrinkles, and your skin in general, with minimal downtime. With fractional skin resurfacing, only a
portion, or fraction, of your skin is treated during a single session.
The medical skin care professional employs a laser beam to ablate thousands of microscopic channels
into your skin, essentially damaging the targeted skin cells in the treatment area, but leaving the
surrounding tissue intact to promote a rapid healing response in the body. As the body’s natural healing
process takes over, the body generates new collagen (a protein that is essential for healthy skin),
increasing the skin’s firmness and resilience, which results in radiant, more healthy looking skin.
BroadBand Light (BBL) Phototherapy – At the practice of Dr. Berkowitz, we provide BBL™ phototherapy
to treat pigmented lesions (e.g., freckles and age spots), vascular lesions (e.g., small blood vessels, or
“spider veins”), acne, lax skin, uneven skin texture and unwanted hair.
With BBL phototherapy, the medical skin care professional delivers broadband light energy to the upper
layers of skin, heating the tissue in the treatment area. The heat from the broadband light is absorbed
into skin cells, stimulating their healing response mechanism, which, in turn, encourages the skin cells to
regenerate collagen. The new collagen production results in firmer, younger-looking skin. In addition to
improving uneven skin tone and texture, photothermal energy also reduces the unwanted melanin that
causes pigmented spots, and eliminates the thin blood vessels causing redness.
ClearScan™ Laser Hair Removal – With ClearScan™ laser hair removal treatment, the cosmetic
professional scans a laser beam over the treatment area. The laser energy selectively targets the body’s
microstructures, including the hair follicles. That is, the melanin in the skin absorbs the laser energy,
which damages the hair follicles in the area. The damaged hair follicles generate less hair each
treatment session, ultimately resulting in a permanent reduction of unwanted hair.
The ClearScan™ laser hair removal treatment is safe for all skin types and colors, but be sure to let the
medical skin care professional know if you have recently been tanning or have recently used tanning
products, or if you have experienced continued sun exposure in the past three weeks. The medical skin
care professional will adjust your treatment protocol accordingly.

Injectables

Meta description: If you are seeking injectable cosmetic treatments in Campbell, contact the plastic
surgery practice of Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz, offering BOTOX and more.
H1: Injectable Cosmetic Treatments
H2: Treating Those Seeking Injectables in Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Campbell
When to Turn to Injectable Treatments for Help
Are you frustrated with the facial wrinkles and lines that have developed around your eyes, on your
forehead or around your mouth? Have you noticed the appearance of “crow’s feet,” worry lines, laugh
lines or hollow-looking pockets throughout various areas of your face? Do you wish you could
counteract the visible signs of facial aging that have begun to crop up, yet you’re not ready to pursue
facial rejuvenation cosmetic surgery? Or, do you simply want to enhance certain facial features, such as
your lips?
If you responded with a “yes” to any of these questions, it might be time to turn to injectable cosmetic
treatments for help. At the Silicon Valley cosmetic surgery practice of R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD, we
offer a variety of injectable cosmetic treatment options, often simply referred to as “injectables,” to
address a range of cosmetic issues, from premature signs of aging to lips that would benefit from lip
augmentation.
What Causes Visible Signs of Aging
As we age, the skin cells gradually halt the production of elastin and collagen, two proteins that are
essential to maintaining sound skin health. Without a sufficient reserve of elastin and collagen, the skin
loses its elasticity and begins to droop. Fat migrates to unwanted regions of the face, and muscle tone is
lost. In addition, the effect of gravity, hereditary factors and certain lifestyle choices such as smoking can
compound cosmetic concerns.
Fortunately, the Greater San Jose cosmetic surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz provides various injectables
to help combat visible signs of aging on the face. (Also, some injectable dermal fillers can be used to
enhance certain facial features, such as the lips or cheeks.)
Please see below for more details about the specific injectables offered at the Silicon Valley cosmetic
surgery practice of Dr. Berkowitz.
BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment
BOTOX®, which is short for “botulism toxin,” is an injectable muscle relaxant. When BOTOX® Cosmetic is
injected into the treatment area, it temporarily suspends muscle movement in the area. As the targeted
muscles relax, so do the overlying wrinkles or facial folds. BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA approved for use on
moderate to severe frown lines (the vertical lines between the eyebrows) and on moderate to severe
crow’s feet (the lines around the outer corners of the eyes). BOTOX® treatment requires no recovery
time, and its aesthetic benefits typically last about six months.
Dermal Fillers
Injectable dermal fillers are designed to restore fullness to areas of the face that have lost volume due
to the natural aging process or that naturally lack volume. Dermal fillers are comprised of different
materials that suit patients’ distinct aesthetic needs.
The most common dermal fillers include those that are hyaluronic acid (HA) based or polylactic acid
based. HA is essential for the skin cells’ ability to retain moisture, providing a plump, youthful look to the
skin. Examples of HA-based dermal fillers include Juvéderm and Restylane.
Polylactic acid-based dermal fillers work to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, a
protein that is fundamental for healthy, elastic skin. Sculptra is a popular polylactic acid-based dermal
filler.
More About Restylane
HA-based Restylane is a dermal filler that is FDA approved for use in adding volume to the skin to “fill in”
and thus smooth out moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles, including nasolabial folds (the lines
that extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth). Restylane is also the first and only dermal filler
that is FDA approved for use in enhancing the lips, with results that last up to six months.
More About Sculptra
This polylactic acid-based dermal filler is slightly different from other dermal fillers in that it is meant to
improve the look of wrinkles over several treatment sessions (versus the immediate aesthetic effects of
the injectables mentioned above). This is because Sculptra stimulates the body to regenerate collagen
over time. As the body produces more and more collagen as time goes by, the aesthetic results of
treatment are further enhanced. Although the aesthetic effects of Sculptra are not immediate, they do
provide longer-lasting, more natural-looking results. In fact, patients who undergo an average of three
treatment sessions over the span of a few months can expect results that last for more than two years.
