Procedures I'm known for

Breast Surgery
Dr. Lawton is one of a highly select group of breast augmentation specialists in the United States that performs minimally invasive transaxillary endoscopic rapid recovery dual plane submuscular flash breast augmentation through the armpit using a high definition 4K surgical camera system. Using this most modern and sophisticated approach, the space for the implant is very carefully crafted under direct vision, with virtually no bleeding and no postoperative bruising. The pain is reduced, the recovery is accelerated and the outcomes are refined and aesthetically outstanding because the shape of the breast is meticulously created. There are very few surgeons with the skill, training, technique, dedication, experience and equipment required to use this approach. The incision in the armpit is virtually invisible as it is placed in an existing crease, and no scars are made on the breast itself. Dr. Lawton is an expert in breast augmentation and breast revision surgery.
Abdominoplasty
Having limited his practice to Cosmetic Surgery of the breast and body for his entire career, Dr. Lawton is a specialist in Tummy Tuck. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) treats the skin excess and muscle weakness of the abdomen as well as any fat that is between the belly button and the pubic hairline. These conditions are most often the result of pregnancy or weight loss, and cannot be corrected with diet and exercise. Dr. Lawton uses special techniques to place the scar as low as possible and combined with his own wound healing center which provides a preoperative and postoperative homeopathic anti-inflammatory diet and supplements, and powerful antioxidant and mitochondrial wound healing stimulating postoperative infusion, the healing is more comfortable and the resultant scars are as invisible as possible. Growth factor based scar creams and silicone scar gels are also used to minimize scarring.
Body Contouring
Body sculpting by way of tumescent liposuction and liposculpture is one of the areas of expertise that Dr. Lawton specializes in his practice. Areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise are a genetic condition which are not possible to spot reduce in the gym or with diet. Using highly advanced, subtle and artistic techniques, Dr. Lawton has specialized in the contouring and reduction of these areas of fat, scultpting your body to its maximum potential. These operations are technique dependent and nothing can substitute for the vast number of cases, aesthetic eye and careful methods that Dr. Lawton uses to remove the areas of stubborn fat, sculpt your contours, and make it possible for you to be more efficient after surgery with your weight loss and exercise routines. Dr. Lawton has specialized in body contouring his entire career.
