| Description: | The field of plastic surgery is rapidly evolving. Non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures account for the largest number of these procedures in the United States. According to statistics there were 15.1 million procedures performed in the United States in 2016. This has been a 3% increase from the previous year. As we age there is better awareness of sun protection and obvious benefits of these minimally invasive procedures because not only of the lower costs, but also minimal recovery time and less risks. At the same time there should be a very noticeable improvement. Dr. Sheffield has practiced over thirty years performing traditional cosmetic procedures, however, at this point in his career he focuses on the minimally invasive and non-surgical procedures. This allows him to assist patients with procedures under topical or local anesthesia. During a consultation the patient is fully informed of all available procedures and a recommendation is given. There is a genuine interest here to guide the patent to achieve his or her goals. Whether the procedure is a Botox injection, micro-needling, photo facial treatments or an upper eyelid procedure as examples these procedures allow for a large degree of safety and minimal risk. All procedures can be performed under topical or local anesthesia. What sets this practice apart is the focus on the least invasive procedure(s) which achieve quality results, minimal down time and the avoidance of an operated look. Robert W.
