Excessive weight loss for women often requires removal of skin on the arms and legs as performed by Dr.Dean Kane, plastic surgeon of Baltimore Maryland.

Women who loose excessive weight, not only find extra skin on their abdomen, but on their arms and legs. Dr. Dean Kane, plastic surgeon of Maryland performs both arm lifts or brachioplasty and thigh lifts in his accredited operating room in his Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Baltimore.

Arm Lifts or Brachioplasty is often needed when the weight loss creates large losses of fat in the arms leaving a “bat wing” like effect. Dr. Kane performs the removal of the skin through an incision that begins under the armpit and extends on the inside of the arm to the elbow. Liposuction is often used on the outer part of the arm to remove additional fullness and create a more muscular “V” taped contoured appearance. Dr. Kane creatively makes you look like you’ve been working with weights without having to lift a finger!

Dr. Kane performs Leg Lifts in two approaches depending on how much draping of the skin exists along the upper thighs. The simple approach involves strategically placing the incision or scar just along the panty line only in the groin area. This works perfectly for women who only have upper inner thigh laxity and only want “air between their legs”. The second approach involves a longer scar that would include the above groin panty line scar and then extend down the inside of the inner leg to the knee. Those patients who have excessive skin laxity and draping along the entire thighs select this more extensive surgery. Liposuction is often used to reduce any additional fullness of the legs to provide a thinner tighter effect. The Leg Lift procedures require a solid 6 weeks of recovery due to the difficult nature that every time you walk, you are putting pressure on the scars and making it harder to heal.

Dr. Dean Kane sees patients from all of Maryland, as well as, our neighboring counties in Pennsylvania, Washington, DC, Delaware, New Jersey and the Maryland Eastern Shore.  In Maryland, patients come from Annapolis, Baldwin, Baltimore, Bel Air, Berlin, Boonsboro, Brooklyn, Carney, Catonsville, Chestertown, Cockeysville, Columbia, Crofton, Crownsville, Eldersburg, Elkton, Ellicott City, Fallston, Finksburg, Forest Hill, Fort Meade, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Hampstead, Lochearn, Lutherville, Mays Chapel, Milford Mill, Monkton,  New Market, Ocean City, Odenton,Oldtown, Olney, Overlea, Owings Mills, Parkton, Parkville, Pasadena, Perry Hall, Phoenix, Pikesville, Randallstown, Reisterstown, Rising Sun, Guilford, Severn, Severna Park, Silver Spring, Sparks, Glencoe,  St. Michaels, Stevensville, Sykesville, Towson, Waldorf, Westminster, White Marsh.

What makes The Center for Cosmetic Surgery and Medi-Spa in Baltimore so Unique from other Plastic Surgeon's Centers in Maryland? The Ying and Yang Perspective!What makes The Center for Cosmetic Surgery and Medi-Spa in Baltimore so Unique from other Plas

The Center for Cosmetic Surgery and Medi-Spa in Baltimore is unique as they provide a husband, plastic surgeon Dr. Dean Kane and wife, Lauri Kane practice. Their Maryland Center offers  a warm and caring approach in cosmetic surgery in a very sophisticated beautiful and homey like setting. Each patient will receive the male and female perspective or the Ying and Yang to what would be cosmetically best for each patient. While Dr. Kane and Lauri most often agree, there are times each offers a different perspective that gives the patient two very viable options in choosing the right cosmetic approach. The Kane’s have been married for 33 years and have worked together over 20 years together in their Maryland Center for Cosmetic Surgery to give their patients a genuine caring approach to all their rejuvenation needs.


 Dr. Dean Kane tends to be serious, clinical yet conservative.  While he is a very creative out of the box thinker, he always does the right thing for patients and does not sway away from performing what is the right procedure for the right patient. His patients love him and you can hear their own personal testimonials on our videos right on our website: www.DrDeanKane.com. You wll hear Alberta call him her “Bedside Angel” (see Alberta’s testimonial on our site) or the “Body God” by Darcel in her video testimonial (see link).
 

Dr. Kane always puts the safety of the patient first and foremost and is always compassionate in his approach in the care of his patients. So he gets excellent results while being conservative for the safety of the patient.  Dr. Kane  will use cutting edge technology when he believes it is appropriate, but will also go with the traditional when that is appropriate. The bottom line is that each patient gets very individual approaches and Dr. Kane tries very hard to match the approach with the patient.


The ying and yang of there is Center is Lauri Kane’s role  to provide the woman’s touch for all their patients.  Lauri first sees the patient and truly listens to what their issues and concerns. She gets an overall assessment about the patient, health history, social history, emotional issues, and financial capabilities. By the time Dr. Kane enters the room, Lauri figures out what are the best approaches for the patient. Lauri becomes the patient advocate. The patient knows that Lauri truly listened to what she wants and explains what the patient wants to Dean. The patients can rely on Lauri to be honest with her opinions and help her focus on what she came in for. “I am very easy going and caring about all our patient needs and they know that they can call me for any problems or questions any time.”
 

When you come to the Center for Cosmetic Surgery, be prepared for warm hugs and a welcome into the Kane family. Their patients are all “lifers” because they love the Kane’s, their very friendly staff and their charming office. The Maryland based Center serves patients from the Eastern Shore, All of Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC and Virginia.

Dysport Challenge is one way to try the "new Botox" and have a win win outcome in the office of Dr. Dean Kane, Plastic Surgeon of Maryland.

Dysport is a very similar to Botox Cosmetic in that it reduces the wrinkle lines around the eyes, between the brows and gives a “brow lift” like effect when done by Dr. Dean Kane, Baltimore Plastic Surgeon. Patients of Dr. Kane have tried the Dysport Challenge and have continued to use Dysport for their “Botox” fix. They love the way their eyes have a more open appearance while their frown lines, angry and tired look is gone.

What is the Dysport Challenge? Medicis, the company that produces Dysport, has offered patients the ability to try Dysport and have a win win experience. When patients come for their Dysport treatment with Dr. Dean Kane in his Maryland Center for Cosmetic Surgery they will be given not only a special $50 promotion by Dr. Kane, but Medicis will give the patients up to $150 back for two treatments.

Medicis is trying to get consumers to try Dysport and created the Dysport Challenge: Love it or Leave it. It’s a win win for the consumer.

In either case, the consumer gets back another $75 rebate on their next Dysport OR Botox treatment depending on their response. The bottom line: Try it you May like it!!
