Ultherapy® - nonsurgical facelifing system utilizing ultrasound energy

Dr. Bafitis has now been selected to be an educator and speaker for the new nonsurgical face tightening and soon to be body tightening system known as Ultherapy®.  This system is literally a nonsurgical facelifting system that utilizes directed ultrasound energy.  Within an hour to an hour and one-half, the cheek, neck, and jowls can be improved as well as the forehead raised with no surgery.  

It does take three months to see an initial result, and 87% of people will need only one session; 11% will need two sessions, and this usually involves severe laxity or male facial skin; and 3% may need three treatments to give significant improvement.

Dr. Bafitis is excited about this new NON SURGICAL advance with the Ulthera® technology - listen:

Dr. Bafitis has investigated this system and has realized this FDA approved protocol is the beginning of a new generation of nonsurgical face and body contour improvement.  This particular system is leading the way and has not only changed the nature of nonsurgical facelifting but will have indications for the lifting of loose skin about the upper knee and improvement of loose skin of the arms.  The improvement seems to last between 18 and 24 and up to 36 months in most cases. 

Dr. Bafitis is also coupling this noninvasive technique, which literally requires no downtime, with the use of lipoplasty of the neck and/or fractional CO2 lasering to give significant improvement with minimal downtime and essentially no anesthesia.

The use of Ulthera™ coupled with the Silhouette™ lift, which Dr. Bafitis calls the Natural Youthful Direction Cheek Lift, has provided patients with significant improvement in most cases equal to a full surgical face and neck lift.  Dr. Bafitis states that the advances made in nonsurgical rejuvenation are astounding to the point where it is almost science fiction meeting modern medicine.  He says stay tuned for these cost-effective, minimal to no downtime procedures, as they will be the norm in the future.  Of course, Dr. Bafitis states that not everybody is a candidate for these, and of course, many would benefit from the full check and neck lift as well as foreheadplasty; but then again, there was no alternative until now.  He is thrilled to be asked to be a national speaker for Ulthera™ and is more than adequate.  Having had it performed on him, he is a believer!

Exciting news for men and women dealing with diet- and exercise-resistant fat bulges!

CoolSculpting™ the new, non-invasive way to reduce fat.

It is important to note --  during the CoolSculpting procedure, the treated fat cells are eliminated. As long as the patient maintains his or her weight with their normal diet and exercise, long-term results should remain stable. Learn more about this non-invasive procedure.

breast reconstruction, body contouring and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)

Dr. Bafitis has been a national spokesman for acellular dermal matrices (ADM) since Sept 2010.  He has spoken at numerous plastic surgical and general surgical enclaves and seminars, sharing his experience with ADMs, not only in breast reconstruction but in hernia repair and simultaneous body contouring and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). 

His lecturing has brought him into the forefront of the latest techniques in breast reconstruction and abdominal wall reconstruction as well as aesthetic balance with both these procedures. 

Dr. Bafitis is presently working on significant publications involving studies with over 40 patients in breast reconstruction and 45 patients in abdominoplasty with the use of these acellular dermal matrices.  Dr. Bafitis feels that the use of an acellular dermal matrix has now revitalized the reconstructive aspects that are so integral to so many cosmetic procedures.

The Future With Stem Cells

Dr. Bafitis has recently been named Medical Director for IntelliCell BioSciences of Palm Beach, a division of IntelliCell BioSciences Inc.

Dr Bafitis reports, by early summer harvested fat from patient’s bodies can be sent out and within 2 hours a stem cell and growth factor mixture can be returned.  This will provide a patient’s own stem cells to be used not only for better skin fat grafting improvement, but for anti inflammatory therapy i.e. arthritic joints etc. 

This IntelliCell process is FDA 361 compliant and only deals with the patient’s own fat.  A true medical breakthrough finally approved in this country.

This process is compliant with the FDA 361 law that states that the stem cells from a patient must be used exclusively for that patient.

Proven Breakthroughs In Plastic Surgery

Silhouette Lift™/Bafitis Natural Youthful Direction Cheek Lift

By Dr. Harold Bafitis

Over the years, people have come into our office and have gently pulled up on their cheeks, showing an effacement and literal removal of jowls and an improvement in the area just under their eyes.

What they are basically doing is improving the volume in the middle one-third of the face.  This has become an aesthetic standard in plastic surgery:  When we show the effects of a cheek and neck lift, we gently sweep the facial fat and tissue vertically, filling the infraorbital hollows, improving the dimension and volume in the cheeks.

What patients have come to know is that the standard cheek/neck lift has dramatically improved their appearance, but it comes with the price of swelling between two to four weeks.  The swelling is usually associated with fat transplantation into the upper face, which usually creates some exaggerated puffiness for up to one month.
What patients desire is a relatively low-cost, straightforward procedure that can be done without general anesthesia and, in fact, done without any anesthesia; just local in the office with relatively no downtime that can improve the contour of the cheek.
The answer has now come with the use of the “Bafitis Natural Direction Youthful Direction cheek lift.”  With the use of Silhouette™ sutures that have absorbable cones that literally catch the fat in the cheek and jowl zones and lift it into more natural youthful direction, people could accomplish this in about an hour and one-half with no anesthesia, just plain local, or some mild oral sedation and local.
