Procedures
Report
Dr. Monacelli offers both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery to the Ithaca and Finger Lakes area.
Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem.
Cosmetic surgery is usually not covered by health insurance because it is elective.
Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease.
It is generally performed to improve functions, but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance.

Face
Report
The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck.
The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily weakens and softens the muscle actions that cause wrinkles, while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
Minimizes the creases that develop across the forehead, or those that occur high on the bridge of the nose, between the eyes.

Body
Report
Also known as brachioplasty, an arm lift reshapes the under portion of the upper arm, from the underarm region to the elbow.
Fluctuations in weight, growing older and even heredity can cause your upper arms to have a drooping, sagging appearance.
Exercise may strengthen and improve the underlying muscle tone of the upper arm, but it cannot address excess skin that has lost elasticity or underlying weakened tissues and localized fat deposits.
If the underside of your upper arms are sagging or appear loose and full due to excess skin and fat, an arm lift may be right for you.
