Richmond Scar Revision
Scars are visible signs that remain after a wound has healed. A scar will develop even if a wound heals without complications. Scarring is a natural part of our body’s healing process. Dr. Burton Sundin and the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery can help minimize the effect a scar has on your appearance through a procedure called scar revision. Scars may be a different texture or color than the surrounding healthy tissue making them more noticeable. The goal of scar revision surgery is to make the scarred area more consistent with the surrounding tissue resulting in a less visible scar.
Scar revision treatment is largely determined by the type and degree of scarring. Treatments may include topical creams, minimally invasive procedures or surgical procedures using advanced wound closure techniques. A consultation with Dr. Sundin will help you determine if you are a good candidate for scar revision treatment and what options will offer the best results for your scar.

Coolsculpting is excellent to rid yourself of bulges in areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. The device is FDA approved for non-invasive fat reduction. Coolsculpting has been featured on Dr Oz, The Doctors, and Rachel Ray as well as in The Wall Street Journal, Town and Country, New Beauty, W, Allure, and Elle

Richmond Breast Lift
With age, the breasts begin to sag. Breast feeding, changes in weight, gravity and aging are all contributing factors to breasts beginning to sag. Richmond breast lift is a proven surgical procedure used to raise and reshape breasts. If the areola has become enlarged, it too can be restored to a smaller size at an appropriate place on the newly reshaped breast.
A consultation with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Burton Sundin will help you better understand how you can benefit from breast lift surgery. During the consultation, Dr. Sundin will listen to your goals and expectations for results. With this information your surgeon will create a surgical plan to meet those goals. Each patient is different and therefore each surgical plan is custom tailored to the individual patient.
