Cash, MD Board certified American Board of Plastic Surgery American Society of Plastic Surgeons Residency University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland, OH Medical degree Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, OH Dr. Cash, a native of Warren, Ohio, specializes in a wide range of cosmetic treatments and surgical procedures, including: Facial and body enhancement • facial cosmetic surgery, including facelifts and chin restructuring • eye rejuvenation • rhinoplasty • BOTOX® • injectable fillers • laser skin resurfacing • liposuction • fat transfers • breast augmentation and reduction • body contouring, including reshaping the abdomen, thigh and buttocks Reconstructive services and pain relief Dr. Cash performs reconstructive surgery to improve function or restore appearance. He works closely with cancer specialists and trauma departments in the Youngstown area to coordinate care. His services include reconstructive surgery for: • breast cancer • major weight loss • complex wounds and scars • migraine headaches • damage to the chest wall • skin cancer • pressure ulcers • facial trauma • hernias 3 Services we offer Facial and body enhancement ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY) Age, weight loss and other factors can cause the skin of the upper arm to lose elasticity and tone. Brachioplasty removes excess tissue to firm and shape the upper arm for a pleasing, youthful appearance. BROAD BAND LIGHT THERAPY (BBL) BBL uses intense flashes of visible light to treat such conditions as: • brown spots from sun damage or age • active acne • skin wrinkles • excessive hair • facial blood vessels (red spots) • rosacea This procedure is minimally invasive and requires no anesthesia and virtually no recovery time. BOTOX® AND XEOMIN Facial application Lines and creases can make you look older than you feel. BOTOX® Cosmetic and Xeomin injections rejuvenate by softening and smoothing these blemishes for a fresh, youthful appearance. Treatment resolves such problems as: • crow’s feet at the outside corners of the eyes • horizontal forehead furrows • vertical lines between the eyebrows 4 We achieve impressive results by combining smallneedle injections of BOTOX® and Xeomin with wrinkle fillers (JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel, Voluma, Belotero, Radiesse®), laser skin resurfacing or other renewing treatments. Reducing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) We use BOTOX® to control severe underarm sweating that can’t be managed with deodorants or other products applied to the skin. BOTOX® temporarily blocks nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, eliminating the problem. This is a safe, FDAapproved use of BOTOX®. BREAST AUGMENTATION Many women prefer larger breasts. Breast augmentation with implants provides natural-looking enlargement for an enhanced, confident appearance. The implants we use are made of silicone or saline (salt water) encased in a soft silicone shell. Both types are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). BREAST LIFT (MASTOPEXY) Breasts can sag for a number of reasons, including: • genetic predisposition • pregnancy • nursing a baby • major weight loss • gravity • age With mastopexy, we raise and reshape sagging breasts, enhancing your appearance and self-image. We can also reduce the size of the dark area around your nipples (areolas), which may become enlarged or stretched after pregnancy or nursing a baby. 5 BREAST REDUCTION Very large, heavy breasts can be undesirable for a number of reasons. A woman may want her breast size reduced to: • balance her overall figure and proportions • reduce or eliminate associated health problems, such as neck and back pain, difficulty breathing, skin irritations • give her greater freedom of activity • increase her self-confidence • become less self-conscious • simply bring her appearance in line with her self-image Breast reduction reduces and reshapes your breasts, achieving the natural, pleasing form and appearance you desire. CHEST REDUCTION (GYNECOMASTIA REDUCTION) Some degree of enlarged breasts (gynecomastia) affects one or both sides of the chest for 40-60 percent of men. This condition gives a man’s chest an undesirable, woman-like appearance. It may be related to hormonal problems, obesity or certain drugs or medications, but often it has no known cause. Chest reduction surgery creates a flatter, more masculine contour. CHIN AUGMENTATION OR REDUCTION (GENIOPLASTY) Too much or too little underlying bone structure can make your chin out of proportion with the rest of your face. Genioplasty enhances or reduces the projection of your chin to improve your facial proportions. People often refer to genioplasty as chin surgery, chin augmentation, or mentoplasty. EAR SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) We can resize and reshape prominent or out-of-proportion ears through otoplasty. With this procedure, we can also correct various other deformities, such as stretched earlobes or damage caused by injury. We often perform otoplasty on children age 4-14. After age 5, the ears are fully grown and can be reshaped permanently. Adults who needed but didn’t have this correction in childhood may also choose to have otoplasty 6 EYELID SURGERY (BLEPHAROPLASTY) Fat deposits and excess, wrinkled skin in upper and lower eyelids can give a false impression of age or poor health. By removing these blemishes, we can restore a youthful, healthy appearance. In some cases, blepharoplasty can improve obstructed vision as well. FACELIFT Time, sun and genetics combine to age the skin of your face and neck. Any of the following conditions can be cause for this procedure: • loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone • wrinkles • deep creases between the bottom of your nose and the corner of your mouth • a tired look • diminished jaw line • sagging chin and neck A facelift improves the most visible signs of aging. Men and women in good health and with some elasticity in facial and neck skin have the best results. FAT INJECTIONS We can sculpt and restore youthful beauty to your face and body with this innovative, minimally invasive procedure. In combination with a facelift, eyelid surgery or other operation, the effect can transform your appearance. We harvest fat cells from your abdomen or hips with gentle suction and purify them in the operating room. Dr. Cash then injects precise amounts of these purified cells to soften creases and restore youthful form to your face, breasts and buttocks. FOREHEAD (BROW LIFT) Aging and heredity can cause deep wrinkles in your forehead or above your nose. A low, heavy brow and sagging skin in your upper eyelids can be undesirable as well. The brow lift improves these problems, removing any excess tissue and smoothing to restore a youthful, pleasing appearance. 7 HAND REJUVENATION Age spots, unsightly veins and loss of tissue beneath the skin combine to make your hands look old. A variety of rejuvenating treatments can reduce these conditions and turn back the clock. Laser treatments reduce spots and discolorations. Fillers, such as fat harvested from the abdomen, restore volume to your hands and reduce lines and wrinkles. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance. LABIAPLASTY In some women, the labia minora, tissues surrounding the vaginal opening, are large and may cause pain and difficulty during intercourse or discomfort during sports and everyday activities. Sometimes a woman may also feel unattractive or self-conscious about her genital appearance. Labiaplasty reshapes or reduces the size of the labia minora, giving the desired appearance and eliminating other problems caused by excess tissue. LASER HAIR REDUCTION Unwanted hair can be unsightly and require excessive shaving or other maintenance. Laser treatment focuses highly concentrated light on the follicles (roots) of hairs for a fraction of a second, permanently removing this hair or significantly impeding its growth. Our state-of-the-art technology directs the laser precisely, while protecting and cooling the upper layer of the skin. This technology treats unwanted hair safely and effectively on skin of all colors and types. It removes brown and black hair permanently. The laser doesn’t effectively remove blond or gray hair. LASER RESURFACING (LASER PEEL) We can treat lines, scars and uneven pigment effectively with controlled use of highly focused laser light, making your skin smoother and more evenly colored. Conditions that respond well to laser treatment include: • fine lines, especially around the mouth • facial scars caused by injuries 8 • acne scars • uneven pigmentation, such as age spots • lines on the cheeks caused by sun damage People with fair, healthy, non-oily skin have the best results. LIP AUGMENTATION Age or genetics may have made your lips thinner than you prefer, or you may have fine lines around them. We can restore and reshape your lips in a single office visit, with results that include: • a plump, sensuous look • restored fullness • smoothing of fine lines We use modern fillers like JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel to augment and shape lips. For longer-lasting results, we inject your own body fat to sculpt your lips for the look you desire. LIPOSUCTION Removing fat with gentle suction is an extremely effective way to shape parts of your body to achieve the form you want. Dr. Cash is highly skilled at sculpting and refining many areas of the body, including: • under the chin • upper arms and armpits • the abdomen and waistline • hips and thighs • enlarged male breasts Liposuction is not a weight loss method. We recommend you be at or near your ideal weight before having your body shaped with this technique. 9 NECK LIFT (SUBMENTAL LIPECTOMY AND PLATYSMAPLASTY) Aging causes muscles and skin of the neck to lose their tone and elasticity. A neck lift rejuvenates your neck by tightening muscles and removing extra skin. Neck reshaping often goes with a facelift, but when done by itself or with liposuction of the neck, the result is a youthful, pleasing contour. RHINOPLASTY AND SEPTOPLASTY The nose is such a prominent feature that its shape can be an important concern for many people. You may choose rhinoplasty as a cosmetic procedure, creating a more harmonious facial appearance. Or you may need reconstruction to correct a damaged or improperly shaped nose. Changes we achieve include: • aesthetic changes in the size and shape of your nose • a narrower space between your nostrils • alteration to the angle between your nose and upper lip • correction of a birth defect, such as a deviated septum (the dividing wall between the air passages on the right and left side of the inside of the nose) • relief of breathing difficulties • correction of a nose deformity caused by injury or cancer • reconstruction of a nose damaged by skin cancer SEPTOPLASTY This procedure can restore function of the nasal airway, improving breathing and straightening the nose. SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR SKIN CANCER Dr. Cash specializes in removal of all types of skin cancer and reconstruction of damage caused by skin cancer. He coordinates with cancer specialists and other surgical specialists to provide comprehensive care for people with skin cancer. 10 SKIN CARE We choose skin care products with special attention to safety, proven effectiveness and professional excellence. Your choices include products by: • Obagi®: These creams, cleansers and peels lighten blemishes and make skin smoother, fresher and younger looking. • LATISSE®: You can grow longer, fuller and darker eyelashes with LATISSE® treatments. Proven, professional-grade products complement surgical and non-surgical treatments for a fresher, more youthful, more vibrant appearance. We’ll help you choose the perfect products for your unique skin care needs. SPIDER VEIN TREATMENT (SCLEROTHERAPY) Spider veins can make you feel too self-conscious to wear anything but long pants. Sclerotherapy frees you to show your legs by making spider veins invisible. Using very small needles, we inject a special solution into affected veins. The solution causes the vein walls to collapse and stick together. The treated area becomes briefly inflamed, and when inflammation passes, the veins are no longer visible. Dr. Cash uses a local anesthetic for sclerotherapy. Rarely is sedation needed. Sometimes we use a laser to eliminate very small veins. In these cases, sclerotherapy isn’t necessary. If you have extensive spider veins, you may need to come in more than once. THIGH/BUTTOCK LIFT Sometimes exercise just can’t make the difference you want to see in your body. This difficulty in thighs and buttocks isn’t unusual. Losing a lot of weight can also leave these areas without the shape and tone you prefer. A lift procedure can reshape this important part of your body and give your thighs and buttocks smooth, attractive contours. 11 TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY) Pregnancy, significant weight loss and other conditions can stretch abdominal muscles. When this happens, exercise and weight loss may not give you the flat abdomen you’re looking for. Abdominoplasty can flatten the outward curve of your abdomen. As with other cosmetic procedures, abdominoplasty isn’t for weight loss. You should be at or near your ideal weight for sculpting of your abdomen to be most effective. WRINKLE FILLERS With age, facial skin develops undesirable wrinkles and creases in various areas, forming: • crow’s feet around the eyes • deep furrows across the forehead • fine lines around the lips • nasolabial folds and “marionette lines” around the mouth We use a variety of modern wrinkle fillers that make it quick and easy to smooth these unwanted blemishes and enhance your facial features. Fillers we use include: • Juvederm XC • Voluma XC • Radiesse • Belotero Fillers can also enhance your cheek bones and lips temporarily and fill in certain scars. To produce the most precise, naturallooking results, Dr. Cash performs these treatments himself. 12 Reconstruction BARIATRIC RECONSTRUCTION Major weight loss is a great achievement. However, many find the unwanted skin that remains mars their appearance and diminishes their satisfaction. Dr. Cash addresses this problem with great skill, removing excess tissue and shaping skin to reveal your slim new body contours. BREAST RECONSTRUCTION Cancer, injury or a congenital condition can result in loss of a breast. In breast reconstruction we build a natural-looking breast that pairs with your other breast for a pleasing, symmetrical appearance. Insurance usually covers breast reconstruction. Check with your insurance provider for details. NIPPLE AND AREOLA RECONSTRUCTION Many women who’ve lost a breast to cancer or another condition or injury usually want breast reconstruction to include replacement of the nipple and areola. We rebuild the nipple-areola complex as part of the final step in breast reconstruction. The result is a complete, natural-looking breast. Most insurance providers cover nipple reconstruction. 13 Relief of pain and discomfort BOTOX® REDUCTION OF EXCESSIVE SWEATING (HYPERHIDROSIS) The constant appearance of sweat in your armpits can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. When you can’t control sweating with deodorants or other products applied to your skin, BOTOX® can provide a temporary solution. Safe, FDAapproved injections block nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, eliminating the problem. BREAST REDUCTION Very large, heavy breasts can cause pain and discomfort in many ways, including: • neck and back pain • posture problems • difficulty breathing • rashes under the breasts • deep indents from bra straps • significant limitations on ordinary activities and sports Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue and sculpts smaller, better proportioned breasts. We position the areola, reshape skin over your new breasts for a smooth, pleasing contour. The result is symmetrical, natural-looking breasts without pain and discomfort. MIGRAINE SURGERY Chronic migraines can be painful and difficult to treat. Research indicates that muscles, blood vessels or other structures can trigger nerve irritation in specific sites. This irritation causes a cascade of events leading to inflammation of tissue surrounding the brain. The result is a migraine headache. We offer an innovative surgery that can alleviate or eliminate your pain. Migraine surgery is very effective, with nearly 90 percent of people who have it responding positively. Typically these people have anywhere from a 50-percent improvement to complete elimination of migraine symptoms. 14 The choice to change your appearance is an important one.
