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.

Dermal Fillers – Richmond
Many people have joined in the battle against aging. While there are some effects of time that we can not reverse, advancements in cosmetic surgery have added some powerful tools to our arsenal. Richmond plastic surgeon Dr. Burton Sundin offers his Virginia cosmetic surgery patients a wide variety of rejuvenation options. From surgery such as a face lift to dermal fillers such as Restylane, Dr. Sundin will work with you to create a rejuvenation plan to meet your needs.
Richmond dermal fillers are among some of the most popular rejuvenation products. Dr. Sundin recognizes that there is no one dermal filler that is right for everyone. Additionally, some dermal fillers are more effective treating a particular part of the face than others. For these reasons, Dr. Sundin offers BOTOX, Restylane, Prevelle, Juvederm, and Evolence as treatment options to his Richmond cosmetic surgery patients.
Dermal fillers can be an effective alternative to more invasive procedures such as facelift. Fine lines and wrinkles can be treated with one of the many dermal fillers available at the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Sundin will help you determine which Richmond dermal filler will best meet your needs and produce optimal results. Patients who opt for dermal fillers generally need to have followup treatments 3-6 months later to maintain the same youthful appearance.

Dr. Sundin Liposuction Procedures
For those people for whom diet and exercise are not enough, liposuction may be the solution for slimming and reshaping troublesome areas. Liposuction targets specific areas of the body by removing excess body fat, leaving the treated areas smoother, more supple, and proportionate to the rest of your body. Liposuction is not intended for those who are looking to lose massive amounts of weight, but when liposuction is performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as an abdominoplasty, or “Tummy Tuck”, the combination can be very effective. To learn more about liposuction and what it can do for you, visit Dr. Sundin to set up your personal consultation.
