We know you have plenty of choices for plastic surgeons in the area including outside areas like Baltimore and Philadelphia. Our team of doctors, physician's assistant, nurse and aesthetician set our practice apart from the rest. We have decades of experience in the safest and most effective procedures to address any concern you have. We approach your concerns by listening to your goals and formulating a plan of action that will ensure your desired outcome. We have the best of both worlds -- surgical choices and non-surgical choices. Most often, it is the combination of both surgical and non-surgical that gives the best results. A surgical patient like a tummy tuck will have her scar minimized with a laser -- all performed under one roof and with a team of experts. Dr. Lawrence Chang, Dr. Joseph Thornton and Dr. Kyo Kim are all board certified plastic surgeons with extensive knowledge and skill.
Our plastic surgery center in Delaware also stands apart because we give the best care and results at an affordable price including offering finance options of 0% interest for 12 months for surgery. Our medispa runs specials monthly on services and products. We provide free educational seminars and luncheons where you can personally meet patients who have had procedures done and see results first hand.

Many patients come into our office and utter these exact words....often using the words "turkey neck" or "waddle". Even diehard naturalists who exercise and eat right will finally cave in when they see this under their chin. Often they tell us that they "got this from my mother". While heredity can influence to the severity of an againg neck, we all get this to some degree or another.
Our neck starts to sag as we age for several reasons:
1) Sun damage: UV radiation directly damages the collagen and elastin fibers of the skin (everywhere!) causing a loss of elasticity and sagging of the skin.
2) Muscle laxity: the bands in our neck called platysma bands are actually muscle that extends from the collar bone to the jawline and into the cheek. Over time, it can relax and loosen and separates from the underlying tissues. The bands become visible under the skin even when we don't flex it.
3) Fat: cycles of weight gain or consistant weight gain and weight loss can eliminate the once 90 degree angle of the chin and neck.
Dr. Lawrence Chang, Dr. Joseph Thornton and Dr. Kyo Kim can consult with you to see if surgery like a facelift or neck lift or non-surgery like Thermage can benefit you. A necklift involves repositioning and removing excess skin in the neck, in addition to muscle tightening and if necessary liposution. Some patients need liposuction alone or to tighten the platysma bands alone. Whatever you need, our board certified plastic surgeons in Delaware can provide the care you care looking for.
We have offices in Middletown, Newark, Hockessin Delaware and see patients in Newark, Wilmington, Hockessin, Dover, Bear Delaware as well as Landenberg, Kennett Square, Main Line Pennsylvania and Elkton, Cecil County, Rising Sun and Baltimore Maryland.
