Aesthetx: Silicon Valley’s premier plastic surgery and dermatology practice
Entrusting your body to a doctor’s care is a crucial decision. When you are ready to act, the right team is required. What does any patient desire in a doctor? Compassion? Knowledge? Technical expertise? All of the above! These qualities fuse together at Aesthetx, the premier plastic surgery and dermatology practice in Silicon Valley. As visionaries and thought leaders on the future of aesthetic surgery, co-founders and board-certified physicians Dr. Kamakshi R. Zeidler and Dr. R. Laurence Berkowitz ensure their patients come first through shared ethics and synergy, and pride themselves on building a plastic surgery practice based on innovation.
A unique blend of plastic surgery and dermatology services
While Aesthetx’s doctors bring 50 years of combined experience in plastic surgery procedures ranging from breast enhancement and total body recontouring, to rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation, their latest game-changing move is the addition of new Director of Dermatology Dr. Amelia K. Hausauer. An innovator in the field of minimally invasive procedural dermatology and skin care, Dr. Hausauer brings the latest advances in these areas to Aesthetx. A rising star in the world of PRP (platelet rich plasma) and microneedling, Dr. Hausauer has spearheaded several research trials on these subjects and is serving as the principal investigator on a PRP study exploring the treatment of male and female pattern hair loss. “I am thrilled to join Dr. Zeidler and Dr. Berkowitz in bringing all the benefits of combining plastic surgery and dermatology to Aesthetx patients,” says Dr. Hausauer. “Staying abreast of the latest developments in dermatology is my top priority to ensure that our patients can take advantage of the best and most effective treatments currently available.” The blending of plastic surgery and dermatology treatments is a unique offering in the Bay Area, providing patients access to customized care in one practice with multiple specialists. This translates to comprehensive consultations and a combined strategy on how to approach patient cases. Dr. Hausauer is also proficient in improving and minimizing scars. She frequently joins her plastic surgeon colleagues in the operating room to perform deep laser treatments to the face and décolletage while patients are under anesthesia for breast and facial procedures. Having the ability to combine procedures is beneficial to their patients as it ensures convenience through a single recovery period, a faster return to work or travel, and comfort in working with one group of doctors.
Innovative surgeons bring passion and the latest techniques to patients
Dr. Berkowitz describes the commitment to being a plastic surgeon as a combination of being a good physician, a meticulous surgeon and the blending of surgical knowledge with the understanding of the human psyche. With over 35 years of experience as a renowned surgeon in the Bay Area, Dr. Berkowitz is touted as the “Master of Rhinoplasty.” He has toured the world to speak on the latest plastic surgery techniques and devices, and is most notably recognized as one of the first surgeons in the U.S. to use high-frequency power tools for nose reshaping. “This new technology will finally move rhinoplasty techniques into the 21st century,” said Dr. Berkowitz. “It not only enables more control and precision to intricately shape the structures of the nose, but the surgery can be done without harming the nearby tissues, resulting in decreased bruising and a faster recovery process.” Dr. Zeidler brings her expertise, passion and ability to have a deep connection with her patients to Aesthetx. “Nothing is better than making these physical changes in the operating room and then being able to watch my patient’s smiling face as they look into the mirror for the first time after surgery,” she said. Dr. Zeidler specializes in aesthetic breast surgery focused on achieving beautiful natural results. As a lead investigator in numerous medical trials, Dr. Zeidler has played an integral role partnering with leading companies in the development of devices that will dramatically improve the process and results of both aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. She has authored numerous medical journal articles, and has lectured nationwide and internationally. Aesthetx also offers a wide range of innovative nonsurgical services that have demonstrated results, such as Botox and other facial injectables, body contouring, MiraDry, CoolSculpting and new laser treatments for vaginal rejuvenation. If you would like an opportunity to meet these doctors and ask questions about their wide range of services, they will be gathering together on February 8 to host a Valentine’s Day-themed event at French Theft in Los Gatos from 7 to 9 p.m. The event will include appetizers, beverages and raffle prizes.
