• Medical Weight Loss
  Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. During the past decade, liposuction, which is also known as “ lipoplasty ” or “ suction lipectomy,” has benefited from several new refinements. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don’t respond to traditional weight-loss methods.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  A few medical conditions make blepharoplasty more risky. They include thyroid problems such as hypothyroidism and Graves’ disease, dry eye or lack of sufficient tears, high blood pressure and other circulatory disorders, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. A detached retina or glaucoma is also reason for caution. Be sure to bring any of these conditions to the attention of Dr. Csikai during your initial consultation.
• Eye Exam
  During your initial consultation, your vision will be tested and your tear production will be assessed. You should also provide any relevant information from your ophthalmologist or your most recent eye exam. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, be sure to bring them along to your consultation.

Gynecologists

• Pregnancy

Internists

• Endoscopy
  Endoscopy is a surgical technique that involves the use of an endoscope, a special viewing instrument that allows a surgeon to see images of the body’s internal structures through very small incisions.

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  Carpal tunnel release — After the endoscope is inserted through a small incision in the wrist area, the surgeon locates the median nerve, which runs down the center of the wrist. A separate incision may be made in the palm to insert scissors or scalpel to cut the ligament putting pressure on the nerve.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Hypothyroidism
• Thyroid

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  There are also points to consider with the newer techniques. For example, in UAL, the heat from the ultrasound device used to liquefy the fat cells may cause injury to the skin or deeper tissues. Also, you should be aware that even though UAL has been performed successfully on several thousand people worldwide, the long-term effects of ultrasound energy on the body are not yet known.
• Radiology
  While there is no evidence that breast implants cause breast cancer, they may change the way mammography is done to detect cancer. When you request a routine mammogram, be sure to go to a radiology center where technicians are experienced in the special techniques required to get a reliable x-ray of a breast with an implant. Additional views will be required. Ultrasound examinations may be of benefit in some women with implants to detect breast lumps or to evaluate the implant.

• Mammography

Surgeons

• General Surgery
  Dr. Csikai is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has been serving patients in Northeast Florida for over 20 years. His decision to become a plastic surgeon began with undergraduate studies at Bucknell University in Lewisburg Pennsylvania. He then received his M.D. degree from Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. After receiving his M.D. degree, Dr. Csikai opted to begin his career in medicine by serving his country and joined the U.S. Navy. While in the Navy, he trained extensively in general surgery at the University Medical Center here in Jacksonville, Florida.
• Reconstructive Surgery
  Placement of tissue expanders — Used frequently in reconstructive surgery, tissue expanders are silicone “balloons” that are temporarily implanted to help stretch areas of healthy skin. The newly expanded skin is then used to cover body areas where skin has been lost due to injury (such as a burn) or disease. Using an endoscope, a surgeon can help ensure that a tissue expander is precisely positioned beneath the surface to bring the greatest benefit to the patient.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  Dysport is one of the latest prescription injections used to help fight the signs of aging. Similar to Botox, Dysport is used to temporarily improve the look of your moderate to severe frown lines without changing the look of your whole face. The untreated facial muscles still work normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas.
• Brow Lift
  If you are considering a brow lift in Jacksonville, you’ll be pleased to know that this procedure is a great way to restore a more youthful, brighter appearance. The procedure corrects drooping brows and improves the horizontal lines and furrows in the forehead that can make a person appear angry, sad or tired.
• Eyelid Surgery
  Browlift surgery is not a procedure to remove crow’s feet or other wrinkles at the outer corners of your eyes. Eyelid surgery does not eliminate dark circles under your eyes and this procedure will not lift sagging eyebrows. However, patient’s often elect to add the browlift procedure with their eyelid surgery. Combining these two procedures can produce a much brighter and youthful appearance. Fine lines and wrinkles around your can also be addressed after your recovery with non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments.
• Liposuction
  During liposuction, your fat is collected into a closed sterile system where it awaits the purification process. After collecting the required amount of fat, a series of steps are performed to purify and separate a portion of the collected fat that will be transferred.
• Breast Augmentation
  Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance and adjust the size, shape and symmetry of a woman’s breasts for a number of reasons...
• Breast Reduction
  Women, and some men, ranging from early teens to late 80s, are candidates for breast reduction or Reduction Mammaplasty surgery. However, younger women should consider not opting for the surgery until at least the age of 20, this is to make sure the breasts have gone through the fundamental developmental stages that a young women must go through.
• Breast Lift
  Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman’s breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. Breastlift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts–at least, for a time. (No surgery can permanently delay the effects of gravity.) Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If your breasts are small or have lost volume–for example, after pregnancy–breast implants inserted in conjunction with mastopexy can increase both their firmness and their size. If you’re considering a Jacksonville breast lift, this brochure will give you a basic understanding of the procedure–when it can help, how it’s performed, and what results you can expect. It can’t answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. Please be sure to ask your doctor if there is anything about the procedure you don’t understand.
• Rhinoplasty
  The best candidates for rhinoplasty are people who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you’re physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate. Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes-to correct birth defects or breathing problems.

• Face Lift
  As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the jawline grows slack and jowly; folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. A Jacksonville Facelift could be the perfect solution!
• Blepharoplasty
  If you have a pocket of fat beneath your lower eyelids but don’t need to have any skin removed, your surgeon may perform a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. In this procedure the incision is made inside your lower eyelid, leaving no visible scar. It is usually performed on younger patients with thicker, more elastic skin.
• Abdominoplasty
  Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) — Endoscopy is sometimes used as an adjunct for selected patients who have lost abdominal muscle tone. Guided by the endoscope, the muscles that run vertically down the length of the abdomen may be tightened through several short incisions. Endoscopy is generally not used in patients who have a significant amount of loose abdominal skin.
• Nose Surgery
  Nose surgery can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have nasal surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with Dr. Csikai.

  People who elect to have a Brazilian Butt Lift often choose this procedure because of how it can improve their appearance in a variety of ways. But before we explore the benefits, lets cover the basics. A Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL is a procedure that safely transfers unwanted fat from certain areas of your body to you buttocks. This procedure actually involves a few different but related procedures. The purpose of this procedure is to shape and contour, lift and or increase the size of one’s bottom. The Brazilian Butt Lift has become increasingly popular in recent years with the advancements in body contouring and fat transfer.
• Cosmetic Surgery
  Dr. Csikai will also explain the techniques and anesthesia he or she will use, the type of facility where the surgery will be performed, the risks and costs involved, and any options you may have. Most insurance policies don’t cover purely cosmetic surgery; however, if the procedure is performed for reconstructive purposes, to correct a breathing problem or a marked deformity, the procedure may be covered. Check with your insurer, and obtain pre-authorization for your surgery.
• Forehead Lift
  In a forehead lift, the muscles and tissues that cause the furrowing or drooping are removed or altered to smooth the forehead, raise the eyebrows and minimize frown lines. Your surgeon may use the conventional surgical method, in which the incision is hidden just behind the hairline; or it may be performed with the use of an endoscope, a viewing instrument that allows a procedure to be performed with minimal incisions. Both techniques yield similar results — smoother forehead skin and a more animated appearance.
