Most people in Las Vegas
expect to gamble, but those coming to see plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen
W. Gordon know they’re doing anything but. “I want each patient to
know they will be cared for—before, during and after the procedure.
That’s every bit as important as the particulars of the surgery they
are about to undergo,” Dr. Gordon says. |

His Complete Cosmetic
Surgery Center is a 4,500-square-foot practice with exam rooms, an
operating room and a recovery suite. Everything from breast
augmentation to body contouring to facelifts is available. “As the
name implies, this is a ‘complete’ cosmetic surgery center,” says Dr.
Gordon, who believes in providing natural, not fashionable results.
“I’m not trying to have a person conform to a fad or undergo a
temporary alteration thought by some to look good this year. I’m much
more interested in making a person look naturally beautiful instead of
altered. A classic beauty.”
Discussing each procedure in-depth
and going over a variety of options is vital, according to Dr. Gordon.
“To allow the patient to peek inside my brain and see how I’m thinking
gives them a greater understanding of what they’re getting and the
ramifications.” Part of this education is keeping everything in the
open, including where the surgeries take place. “Everyone gets a tour
of our accredited surgery center so no one thinks it is something
shrouded in mystery.” For the doctor, comfort is a priority, even when
it comes to examining rooms. Dr. Gordon did away with traditional,
flat exam tables and instituted oral surgery chairs, which are padded,
ergonomic and adjustable. “We want exams to be done in the most
comfortable manner. Now we have the flexibility to do that.”

A LITTLE LIFT
Of all the surgeries he performs, breast
lifts, which are frequently combined with breast
augmentations, are among Dr. Gordon’s Top 5. “A breast lift,
when done properly, is probably the most versatile and
satisfying operation that a plastic surgeon can master and
offer a patient,” he says. “Breast lifts are one of my
favorite procedures because they’re dramatic and the patients
are generally very happy.” What’s unusual about the recipients
is the wide age range. “I can have a 22-year-old needing a
breast lift, and, likewise, I can have a 65-year-old. There’s
a lot of versatility of application for breast lifts,” he
explains. Since 1998, he’s been working on a unique approach
to the operation. “I’ve pieced together a technique that’s a
combination of procedures with modifications,” says Dr.
Gordon, who uses what is called a “vertical scar” or
“lollipop” type of breast lift procedure, which goes around
the areola and vertically down to the mammary fold. “I do a
hybrid of vertical and anchor scars. Because of the geometry
involved, the scarring is very minimal. It’s an amazing
procedure.” |
