Join Dr. Rudy Thompson, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an educational evening on Thursday, May 20th at 6:30pm at Aquamedica Salon and Day Spa at Pier Village in Long Branch, NJ, where you will get answers to all your questions about the “Mommy Makeover”.

Motherhood is a life changing experience in so many ways. Whether a year after childbirth, or many years later, many women continue to strive to regain their pre-pregnancy figure. Often, women meet with frustration of not being able to do so with diet and exercise and begin to consider surgery. Dr. Thompson will debunk the myths and expose the truths behind the Mommy Makeover.

The combination of procedures often referred to as a “Mommy Makeover” is a customized plan that is designed by your plastic surgeon to help you regain the figure you had before pregnancy and childbirth. Take this FREE opportunity to get answers to your questions about body contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and breast rejuvenating procedures including breast augmentation and mastopexy (breast lift). Learn about how procedures can be safely combined to give you back your beautiful curves and a slimmer silhouette.

All attendees will be eligible to be entered into a raffle to win a FREE Glow and Go Facial and Reflexology Massage at Aquamedica! Also, first-time spa clients can receive a free eyebrow shape by Valentina at the event.

This seminar is FREE, but space is limited so RSVP now. Call 732-410-4789 or email thompsoncenter@live.com to reserve your space.

Overview of my practice:

Plastic surgery and cosmetic medical treatments tailored specifically for you.  As a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, I perform traditional cosmetic plastic surgery procedures such as breast augmentation and body contouring (including  tummy tuck, and liposuction), Smartlipo-MPX (minimally-invasive laser assisted body sculpting), as well as non-invasive procedures such as Botox, facial fillers, laser rejuvenation and laser hair removal.  At the time of your consultation, I will tailor a plan, specifically for you based upon your goals and my experience.

In addition to cosmetic procedures it gives me great satisfaction to help patients requiring reconstructive surgery, whether after breast cancer, or following a traumatic accident or injury.  Patients who have lost significant amounts of weight, either through their own efforts or by gastric bypass or lap band surgery, are also treated very successfully by body contouring procedures.

How do you stay current with new advances in your field?

As a member of the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), I regularly attend national conferences as well as local meetings.  In addition, I thoroughly enjoy reading books and journal articles written by experts from around the country in the field of Plastic Surgery.  I welcome opportunities to research and learn about new technology and products and meet with representatives often.

How has your specialty changed over the last decade?

Significant change has been the story of plastic surgery over the last decade.  From new advances in technology such as Smartlipo and laser treatments to the introduction of injectables such as Botox and dermal fillers, the landscape of plastic surgery has changed dramatically.  These new advances have opened up plastic surgery to a whole new group of patients who prefer to go the route of less invasive non-surgical procedures.  Additionally, the economic environment has had an effect as in the example of a patient who, years ago, may have elected to have a facelift, but, instead, now may opt to have a “liquid facelift.”

Are there any programs your practice is offering to help patients hurt by the economy?

The economy has an effect on everyone.  While media reports have indicated that the economy is now heading in the right direction, the reality is that many people are considering delaying purchases they consider to be “luxury items.”   Some patients jokingly refer to their treatments as “necessities”.  For many people, however, getting a surgical procedure that they have always wanted may seem out of reach.  We are pleased to offer Care Credit to our patients as a way to finance procedures they would prefer to have sooner, rather than later.   We work directly with Care Credit and have been successful in helping patients open accounts.  Care Credit offers a variety of plans including the very popular” no-interest” plans.  Additionally, we regularly share information with our patients via our website and e-mails about manufacturer’s rebates from companies who make products such as Botox, Juvederm, Latisse and Dysport.  We understand that patients appreciate saving money whenever possible.

What would a referral say about your practice?

I am personally dedicated, as is each member of our staff, to making patients feel welcome.  Attention to detail is so important and we have worked hard to create a warm, cozy and relaxing environment.  Our cosmetic patients regularly refer friends and we sincerely appreciate the confidence they have in me and our staff.  We love feedback from patients we receive during (and after) they have been in my care.  Recently, we were told by a patient who was healed after reconstructive surgery, “we’re going to miss you… we love coming here.”
