Under-eye bags are a common cosmetic concern for many people, often making them look tired or older than they feel. These bags can be caused by various factors, including aging, genetics, lack of sleep, or fluid retention.
While lifestyle changes may provide temporary relief, eyelid surgery can offer a lasting solution.
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can remove excess skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the individual’s needs.
The procedure can improve the appearance of the eyes by reducing sagging and puffiness. It can also enhance vision if excess skin from the upper eyelids is obstructing sight.
Under-eye bags are typically caused by a combination of factors, including weakened muscles, skin laxity, and fat accumulation. Over time, the structures that support the eyelids weaken, and fat that is normally confined to the area around the eye can shift downward. This can create puffiness and the appearance of bags.
Lower blepharoplasty specifically targets this issue. During the procedure, Dr. Kimmel can remove or reposition the excess fat responsible for the puffiness.
In addition, he may tighten the skin and muscles around the lower eyelid, giving the area a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Lower blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
Dr. Kimmel makes small incisions either just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid, ensuring minimal visible scarring. The procedure usually lasts one to two hours. Most patients can resume normal activities within 10 to 14 days.
While blepharoplasty offers long-lasting results, the natural aging process will continue. However, the improvements made during surgery can last for many years.
Blepharoplasty is an effective and permanent solution for getting rid of under-eye bags caused by excess fat and skin laxity. If you want a long-term fix, call us at 570-622-2900 (Pottsville), or 570-455-4252 (Hazleton) and book an appointment with Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center.
With so many dermal fillers available today, choosing the right one for your facial rejuvenation needs can be difficult. Among these options, Sculptra® stands out for its unique approach to restoring youthful volume and smoothness.
At Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center, we offer Sculptra injections under the direction of Dr. Robert M. Kimmel, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Find out more about what makes this filler unique below.
Sculptra is a cutting-edge dermal filler. It restores facial volume by encouraging collagen growth.
Instead of temporarily filling lines or wrinkles, Sculptra works below the surface of your skin to promote collagen production over time. This leads to a more youthful and natural look as your skin gradually becomes firmer and smoother.
Sculptra is especially effective for treating areas like hollow cheeks, temples, and smile lines. As collagen production increases, it provides a fuller appearance.
Traditional fillers are made from substances like hyaluronic acid. However, Sculptra’s main ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This biocompatible material works with your body to deliver long-term results.
Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid provide immediate results by adding volume to the treated areas. Sculptra takes a different approach.
The gradual stimulation of collagen results in subtle improvements over time. This makes Sculptra ideal for individuals who want a natural enhancement without the noticeable “overnight” change that some fillers provide.
Additionally, Sculptra offers one of the longest-lasting results in the world of cosmetic fillers.
Patients can expect their rejuvenated look to last up to two years or more with proper care. On the other hand, most other fillers last between 6 and 18 months. This makes Sculptra a more cost-effective option for long-term facial rejuvenation.
Do you want to find out if Sculptra is the right treatment for your goals? Schedule a consultation today with Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center. Our expert team can help determine the best strategy to restore your natural beauty.

As we age, the delicate skin on our neck and jawline tends to lose its elasticity. It can lead to sagging, wrinkles, and a loss of definition. For those who are unhappy with these signs of aging, a neck lift can offer a highly effective solution. This procedure helps to firm and smooth the skin on the neck, rejuvenating your overall facial profile.
A neck lift targets the most common signs of aging in the neck area, such as loose, sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and prominent muscle bands.
Usually, the process entails making tiny incisions beneath the chin and behind the ears. Dr. Kimmel can tighten the underlying muscles, remove fat, and remove extra skin with these incisions. He does it to create a more defined and youthful contour. The result is a smoother, firmer neck and a well-contoured jawline.
A neck lift is often performed as a standalone procedure, but it can also be combined with other facial surgeries, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery, to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation.
This combination approach can provide even more dramatic results. It can address multiple areas of concern in one surgery and reduce the overall recovery time.
The most noticeable benefit of a neck lift is the significant improvement in the appearance of the neck and jawline. By removing sagging skin and tightening the underlying structures, the procedure creates a smoother, more youthful neck that blends seamlessly with the rest of the face.
Additionally, a neck lift offers long-lasting results. While the natural aging process will continue, the effects of a neck lift can last for many years, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle and good skincare routine.
Patients who undergo a neck lift often report feeling more confident and satisfied with their appearance.
If you’re seeking a way to dramatically improve your facial profile, a neck lift could be the ideal solution.
To learn more about the benefits of a neck lift, schedule a consultation with Dr. Robert Kimmel at Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center. You can reach our office in Pottsville at 570-622-2900 or our office in Hazleton at 570-455-4252.
If you’ve recently lost a lot of weight but now struggle with the frustrating problem known as “bat wings” – drooping extra skin and fat in the upper arms – you’re not alone. At Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center, premier plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Kimmel often helps patients reclaim the body they dream of following significant weight loss. If you feel embarrassed about hanging upper arm skin and fat or have resigned yourself to being stuck in long sleeves forever, we have good news: Arm lift surgery can complete your weight loss journey and help you feel more confident than ever. Here’s what you should know.
Many people who lose significant weight find that some body parts don’t bounce back or adapt to their new, much smaller size. This happens because the skin’s natural elasticity is lost after years of stretching to accommodate the extra weight. So, after working so hard to transform your body, your upper arms might seem like they’re conspiring against you, trying to keep you out of short sleeves forever. Arm lift surgery allows you to take control, reshape your arms, and ditch the reminders of your old body for good.
Brachioplasty (arm lift) reshapes and contours the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. It’s ideal for situations in which no amount of diet and exercise are improving the appearance of the arms, so many people opt for an arm lift post-weight loss. The surgery typically involves one long incision (from the top of the underarm to the elbow). Dr. Kimmel skillfully trims away extra skin and removes excess fat before tightening your remaining skin and creating more defined and youthful-looking arms.
An arm lift is an outpatient procedure that usually takes 2-3 hours in our state-of-the-art surgery center. You wear a compression garment afterward, which helps reduce swelling and keeps your arms in the optimal shape as they heal. Most patients return to regular activities in just a week or so.
An arm lift improves the appearance of your arms and can greatly boost your self-confidence. No more hiding your arms in long sleeves or feeling embarrassed about sagging skin. You can proudly wear sleeveless tops and dresses, showcasing your toned, sculpted arms. You’ve worked hard for this and deserve to enjoy your new body. An arm lift can be a major part of that.

Hair loss is a common concern among men that can have significant psychological effects. Understanding these impacts and exploring solutions like hair restoration can be essential for maintaining confidence and well-being.
Hair loss can trigger various emotions, such as frustration, embarrassment, and even depression. Many men feel self-conscious about their appearance and worry about how others perceive them. Losing hair can challenge one’s sense of identity and attractiveness, leading to decreased self-esteem and confidence.
The effects of hair loss extend beyond personal feelings, influencing social interactions and professional opportunities. Men may refrain from social interactions or hesitate to engage in activities they used to enjoy.
Self-image is closely tied to our appearance, with hair playing a significant role in how we perceive ourselves. Hair loss can evoke feelings of insecurity and embarrassment, impacting self-esteem and social interactions.
For effective hair restoration solutions, consider Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center, a leading hair transplant center in Pennsylvania.
Hair restoration offers hope to men struggling with hair loss by providing effective solutions to restore a full head of hair.

Hair restoration benefits extend beyond your physical appearance. They come with significant psychological advantages as well. Restoring a full head of hair can elevate a man’s self-confidence, enhance his self-image, and enrich the overall quality of life.

Stem cells are cells in the body that have the potential to develop into different tissue types depending on the environment they’re introduced to. Stem cell makeovers utilize stem cell-enriched fat cells to rejuvenate areas of the body experiencing volume loss. The process uses fat cells obtained via liposuction, which are then put in a centrifuge to separate the stem cells. These can then be injected into areas such as the hands, face, and breasts to add volume.
If you’re interested in a stem cell makeover, keep reading to learn more about the amazing advantages of this procedure.
Stem cell makeovers are ideal for patients who have lost volume in various areas of the body due to signs of aging, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. This innovative procedure uses fat cells with a higher concentration of stem cells, making them suitable for reintroduction into the body to provide a natural boost in volume.
Although a stem cell makeover is considered surgery, it’s an outpatient procedure. Once the anesthesia wears off, you can likely go home the same day. This also means you won’t have to take extended time off from work or other aspects of your daily routine, and you don’t have to worry about staying overnight (or longer) in a hospital. You can be back home and in your bed the same day you receive your stem cell makeover.
While it can take several weeks for your body to recover after a stem cell makeover fully, your downtime is minimal. Many patients return to most aspects of their daily routine in 48 to 72 hours; however, your surgeon will provide you with a more precise timeline for your recovery. Furthermore, you shouldn’t participate in vigorous exercise until cleared by your doctor.
Are you interested in discovering whether you’re a good candidate for a stem cell makeover? Robert M. Kimmel, MD, FACS, PC, at Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center can meet with you for a consultation.
Contact the Hazleton office at 570-455-4252 or the Pottsville office at 570-622-2900, or submit an online contact form.
While a balanced diet and exercise are necessary for achieving a slimmer figure, it’s common for people to struggle with areas of stubborn fat. Since you can’t “spot reduce,” it can be frustrating and discouraging when you’re working hard and struggling to reach your ideal aesthetic. If this sounds like you, you could be a candidate for a liposuction procedure like traditional liposuction or Liposonix®.
But which option is right for your goals? Keep reading to learn more.
Traditional liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat pockets through a small cannula tube. Although liposuction is not a weight loss procedure and does not help with obesity or weight loss, it can create a slimmer, more toned appearance you may not have been able to achieve with diet and exercise alone.
Even though you might be doing everything right with your nutrition and fitness regimen, achieving an ideal figure can be incredibly difficult. That’s where liposuction can help.
Liposonix® is a variation of traditional liposuction that is less invasive. The procedure still produces the same results, trimming the body and removing fat, but with a shorter recovery time.
Liposonix® is an innovative procedure that uses ultrasound waves. The high frequency of the energy waves reaches through the skin to the fat layer, while the high temperature damages the fat cells beyond repair. The fat will then exit your body over the following eight to 12 weeks after your procedure.
Both procedures can help you achieve a slimmer figure; however, deciding on the right one for you depends on your goals. For patients interested in a less-invasive option, Liposonix® can provide them with the results they’re looking for with less downtime and recovery. Furthermore, if you have a health history that would make more invasive procedures like liposuction too dangerous, Liposonix® could be the perfect solution.
Keystone Surgery Center offers both traditional liposuction procedures and Liposonix® treatments in Pottsville and Hazeltown, PA. Contact our Hazleton office at 570-455-4252 or our Pottsville office at 570-622-2900. You can also use our online contact form to schedule an appointment today.
Have you ever thought about liposuction? It’s a procedure that helps millions of patients reach their aesthetic goals every year. However, many people worry about the extent of the procedure, the recovery time, and how it will impact their appearance. Luckily, there’s an alternative: tickle liposuction. This is a relatively new method that dramatically lowers the invasiveness of liposuction.
Tickle liposuction, also known as Nutational Infrasonic Liposculpture (NIL), uses an air pressure cannula to create a whirling motion and remove fat from the body. It puts far less stress on your body, making for a simpler, safer procedure with faster recovery time. Keep reading to learn more about tickle liposuction and its benefits.
In many cases, tickle liposuction is more effective than traditional techniques. While both methods remove fat as well as the other, the tickle method causes less overall strain on the body.
In fact, many tickle procedures use local anesthetic instead of putting you completely under. This reduces stress and allows the doctor to achieve more extensive fat extraction.
Even though tickle procedures allow for increased extraction, they are considerably more comfortable and reduce pain and recovery time.
While it does depend on the person, tickle liposuction can be used anywhere you could use traditional liposuction. It’s also better in challenging spots — like the knees.
Overall, tickle liposuction provides more options for your doctor to work with for your treatment plan.
One of the primary reasons tickle liposuction was developed was to reduce stress on the body. As a result, recovery and downtime are typically less than those of traditional procedures. The exact recovery time will vary by person, depending on the extent of the procedure.
On average, there are about two to three days of downtime for basic recovery.
If you want to learn more about tickle liposuction and what it might offer you, contact Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center. You can reach our Pottsville office at 570-622-2900 or our Hazleton office at 570-455-4252. Or fill out the online contact form. We’ll be happy to schedule a consultation for you.
Deciding between a breast augmentation or a breast lift is one of the more important medical decisions that a patient may have to make. While each of these procedures comes with its own pros and cons, only you and your doctor can decide which is right for you. The following guide is here to provide the necessary assistance so that you are able to make the most informed decision possible. Be sure to read on and learn more!
There are a number of women who may decide that this procedure is best for them. For starters, there are those who may simply desire breasts that allow their figure to become more proportionate. If you’re not happy with your breasts’ size or shape, you could be a prime candidate for breast augmentation. Or you may simply want to be curvier or add volume to breasts that have flattened over time.
Most importantly, a patient should be making this decision because it is their personal desire. It is not a procedure that should be chosen because of undue pressure that is being applied by a friend or partner. Fortunately, the breast augmentation satisfaction rate is high, as over 90% of women report improved self-esteem after the process is complete.
Before the breast lift conversation takes place, there is one question that must be answered. Do you plan to have children in the future? If so, a breast lift needs to wait. If the answer is no, then you can move forward with consultations. If your breasts have begun to sag, a breast lift can help. The same goes for a patient that has lost shape or volume.
Stretchy skin, flat or elongated breasts, and downward-facing nipples are also issues that this procedure is designed to address. If your breasts are asymmetrical, this is also something that can be discussed with an experienced surgeon. It is also important to note that augmentations and lifts cannot take place simultaneously.
At Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center, we know that decisions of this nature can be challenging. If you have any further questions about breast augmentation or a breast lift, be sure to give us a call as soon as possible. Prospective Pottsville patients can contact us at 570-622-2900, while Hazleton patients can call us at 570-455-4252. We are happy to offer an in-depth explanation of each procedure so that you are guided in the best direction for you.
Fighting against signs of aging can seem nearly impossible. Overnight creams, facemasks, and other at-home methods can only do so much. If you’ve been troubled by drooping skin around the eyes, under eye bags, puffy eyelids, and other eye-related signs of aging, it may be time for an eyelid lift.
Eyelid lifts do not just have cosmetic and aesthetic benefits but are also utilized for functional restoration of the eyes. When excessive drooping eyelids cover the vision partly or wholly, blepharoplasty can restore eyesight.
Eyelid lifts are performed to help with skin laxity and drooping of either the upper or lower eyelids or both. Changes to the eyelids can occur as a normal consequence of aging or due to injury.
This delicate surgery involves a small incision expertly placed within the folds of the eyelids to attend to the skin, fat, and muscle underneath. Depending on your specific needs, the muscles may be tightened, fat may be removed or repositioned, and excess skin may be addressed.
A question that many have when it comes to cosmetic surgery procedures is the duration of results. After all, many procedures are performed to combat aging. With a primary goal of eyelid lifts to rejuvenate the face, they hope to do the same.
Eyelid lifts can last nearly a lifetime with permanent results. For others, age-related drooping may occur again after significant time has passed, but the degree of drooping may not reach the same extent as before your blepharoplasty.
Eyelid lifts are delicate surgeries involving tiny vasculature and muscles. Working with an experienced and capable plastic surgeon can help you achieve the age-defying or vision-restoring results you seek.

Although dermal fillers are predominantly marketed toward women, men can also benefit from their restorative and rejuvenating effects. Fillers for men are the exact same as the ones used for women; the difference lies in the treatment area and injection method.
Because men’s facial anatomy is different from women’s, additional care must be taken to avoid overfilling or creating undesirable results.
In the past, cosmetic surgery as a whole was largely dominated by female patients. However, in recent years, more men have shown an increase in both preventative and restorative cosmetic procedures.
Fillers like Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Belotero® are all popular fillers for men. And, of course, BOTOX®, the neurotoxin injectable, is also frequently used.
It is important to mention that BOTOX is not classified as a filler as it does not restore any lost volume to the face; instead, it immobilizes muscles in treatment areas to provide smooth fine lines and wrinkles. It is also used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including migraines and lazy eye.
If you are looking to boost plumpness and fill in specific areas on the face, filler is the go-to solution.
The facial anatomy of men and women differ in many ways; it’s vital that you work with a surgeon who offers men’s treatment. For example, when it comes to filling tear troughs, men have a flatter median cheek, which can lead to more pronounced hollowness as they age and lose fat in the face.
In order to avoid puffiness, the surgeon must make sure to select the best candidates and the right filler for their concerns. An ideal candidate for tear trough filler will have good skin thickness and elasticity. Furthermore, a filler with a thinner consistency is advised to prevent imbalance and an uneven contour.
At Keystone Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Robert M. Kimmel offers filler and other cosmetic treatments for men in a state-of-the-art surgical center. With double board certification and decades in practice, he offers comprehensive care with an expert touch.
To schedule an appointment, please call the Pottsville location at 570-622-2900, or Hazleton at 570-455-4252. You can also submit a contact form, and a member of the staff will be happy to assist you.
For many men, hair loss can be a distressing and confidence-shattering experience. The thought of losing one’s hair can be daunting, impacting self-esteem and self-image. Fortunately, advancements in medical science have given rise to various hair restoration techniques and treatments, offering hope and help to those dealing with hair loss.
The increase in confidence and self-esteem that hair restoration for men can offer is one of its most important advantages. Losing your hair can make you feel negative about yourself and make you feel less youthful or appealing. You can restore a fuller head of hair with hair restoration techniques, including hair transplant surgery or medication, which frequently results in an improvement in self-confidence.
Modern hair restoration techniques have come a long way, offering natural-looking results. Hair transplant procedures, for instance, involve the transplantation of your own hair follicles, ensuring that the hair grows naturally and matches your existing hairline.
A full head of hair is often associated with youthfulness. Hair loss can make a person appear older than they are. Hair restoration treatments can reverse the signs of aging, helping you look and feel younger. A youthful appearance can positively impact both personal and professional aspects of life.
The emotional impact of hair loss should not be underestimated. Many men who undergo hair restoration report an improved quality of life. They feel more comfortable in social situations, experience better self-confidence, and overall lead happier lives.
Hair loss can make you feel like you’re losing control over your appearance. Hair restoration treatments can help you regain that control, allowing you to decide how you want to look and feel. It’s an empowering step toward taking charge of your life and self-image.
The benefits of men’s hair restoration extend beyond the physical appearance. With modern, natural-looking results and low maintenance requirements, hair restoration treatments provide men with the opportunity to regain their confidence.

Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is an effective surgical procedure aimed at reshaping and sculpting the upper arm.
It targets the region extending from the underarm to the elbow, eliminating any excess, drooping skin. This excess tissue can be the result of factors such as extreme weight loss, sun damage, aging, or even hereditary components. If you’ve been longing for a confident and elegant appearance, an arm lift might be your perfect solution.
An arm lift is more than a simple cosmetic treatment; it’s a carefully crafted procedure designed to rejuvenate and reshape your arms. Performed in a state-licensed, Nationally Accredited Ambulatory Surgical Facility, the arm lift procedure takes approximately two to three hours. The process involves the removal of excess skin and fatty tissue, often complemented with liposuction techniques to reduce arm circumference and create a smooth transition with adjacent areas. Thanks to intravenous sedation and local anesthesia, the procedure is comfortably performed. Post-operative compression garments facilitate optimal skin re-draping, and most individuals return to routine activities within five to seven days.
Brachioplasty offers a range of unique benefits that lead to a significant enhancement in self-confidence. By restoring a smooth, tapering arm contour, the procedure can make you feel more comfortable wearing sleeveless or short-sleeve garments. No longer do you need to hide your arms or feel conscious about them. An arm lift provides a proportionate appearance that can reignite the joy and self-assurance you feel in your own body.
Excess skin and fat in the upper arms are common problem areas that can be difficult to address through procedures other than arm lifts.
Unlike liposuction, which mainly focuses on fat removal, brachioplasty also tightens and smoothes the underlying supportive tissue. Compared to non-surgical skin-tightening procedures, brachioplasty offers more dramatic and long-lasting results.
While procedures like CoolSculpting can reduce fat, they may not adequately address sagging skin. In other words, brachioplasty offers one of the best solutions for reshaping the upper arms.
If you’re considering an arm lift, contact Keystone Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Kimmel and his team are proud to serve patients in Pennsylvania, providing personalized care that reflects your needs.
