Since entering practice 16 years ago Dr. Forman has had a special interest in working with patients who have undergone massive weight loss, either with dieting and exercise alone or following bariatric surgery. Understanding the concerns and issues facing patients who have undergone significant weight loss has enabled him and his staff to create an environment that is supportive both mentally and physically. The goal is to assist patients in helping them prioritize their areas of concern and together developing a treatment plan to allow them to achieve their ultimate goal. A great deal of professional satisfaction is obtained from working with massive weight loss patients and taking them from what they may have initially envisioned for themselves before undergoing significant weight loss and taking them the last step to finally realizing that dream.

 

Dr. Forman offers both surgical and non-surgical treatments in order to achieve and maintain a more youthful appearance. His specialty in aesthetic surgery enables him to provide a wide array of facial rejuvenation as well as, breast and body contouring procedures. Eyelid surgery, face and neck lift procedures, breast augmentation, breast lift or reduction, breast reconstruction, Vaser ultrasonic assisted liposuction, tummy tucks, Mommy Makeovers and body contouring after massive weight loss are just a sampling of the procedures that Dr. Forman performs on a regular basis. He and his attentive, highly trained staff will individualize a patient’s care to help them achieve their desired goals in a safe and caring manner.

 

Injectables such as Botox, Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, and Radiesse complement other procedures performed or can offer a separate, non-surgical means to creating or sustaining a refreshed facial appearance.
