Procedures I'm known for

Dr. Joshua Halpern’s breast enlargements are a beautiful alternative to having breasts that you consider too small. Many women feel under-endowed physically, which affects their self-esteem, their clothing choices and the image they have in their minds of their most beautiful selves. Dr. Halpern helped pioneer the endoscopic mini-invasive almost bloodless breast enlargement, a procedure which is part of the Finesse Technique and involves a faster recovery, smaller scars and typically, no bruising. It has a high success rate, with many patients returning to work in just a few days after having their procedure. Many female surgeons appreciate the benefits of this procedure and choose to have Dr. Halpern perform a breast augmentation on them.

Tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, has helped thousands of women feel better about themselves (and the fit of their clothes). It is a procedure used to restore a tighter, flatter looking abdomen when there is excess fat in the stomach area and the muscles have become lax, due to assorted reasons, such as age, childbirth or weight gain. Dr. Joshua Halpern is an expert on Tummy Tucks, having invented the Malibu Tummy Tuck, which makes the tummy look younger and smoother, with a more natural youthful looking belly button, that many patients are happy to show off in a bikini. Pain is minimal and recovery time is quicker than with more traditional techniques.

Once a woman realizes that she is aging, she often begins to look for ways to delay, prevent or repair the damage, whether it is caused by smoking, sun exposure, genetics or simply aging. Women who come to Dr. Joshua Halpern for a facelift, usually in their forties and older, each have their own reasons for wanting the procedure. Some feel they look like their mothers and thus look older than they feel. Some complain of too much wrinkling on the face or that they don’t like how their neck is aging. Some want their jowls diminished or the appearance of their nasal labial folds to improve.
