It’s a Partnership
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation has been one of the most gratifying cosmetic operations from the standpoint of both the patient and the surgeon. Although controversy in the early 1990’s led to widespread fear, a significant body of recent scientific research has validated the overall general safety of silicone breast implants.
Facelift
A facelift is an operation that elevates and redrapes the facial skin and muscles to eliminate laxity and sagging. The operation can be designed to correct problems in the neck, under the jaw, under the chin and in the cheeks. It can also be applied to the skin in the temporal regions and the forehead.
Tummy Tuck
The tummy tuck is an operation designed to remove excess skin from the abdomen while tightening the abdominal muscles. It is indicated in cases where there is laxity of the abdomen resulting in bulging due to abnormal stretching of the abdominal muscles and skin.
Liposuction Surgery
Fat cells lie beneath the skin throughout the body, but accumulate in greater amounts in certain areas. When we gain or lose weight, we are not adding or subtracting fat cells but rather changing the amount of fat within each cell.

Textbook Features Chapter by Dr. Tobin
“Facial Plastic Surgery,” a textbook on cosmetic surgery of the face features a chapter written by Dr. Tobin and former Cosmetic Surgery Fellow, Dr. George Goffas. The chapter entitled Subperiosteal Face Lift describes a technique of facial rejuvenation in which the approach is from above through an incision across the top of the head rather than the normal incisions along the side of the face. The advantage of the technique lies in the fact that the lift is upward rather than backward. Additionally, the lift is made in the deeper structures and does not involve any skin stretching.
Dr. Tobin has high marks on all the major review sites, maintaining a 4.8 Stars from over 200 reviews.
