The most common plastic surgery breast procedures include breast augmentation (or breast enlargement) using saline breast implants, mastopexy (or breast lift) and macromastia (or breast reduction).

Breast implants were invented in Houston, Texas, in 1962 and Dr. Mentz's training with their inventors in 1989, 1990 and 1991 provided him with insight into the management of individual breast implant cases at multiple levels of difficulty. Through detailed discussions and careful measurements Dr. Mentz will work with you to determine the breast procedure that is right for you.

Dr. Mentz and Dr. Ruiz introduced the use of the pain pump in abdomenoplasty in 2003. The pain pump uses local anesthetic to numb the tummy for 5 to 6 days after surgery and reduced substantially the amount of pain medicine necessary and patients were out of bed twice as fast. This was a great advance in abdominoplasty because it reduces pain, patients were less dependant on pain medicines, and were out of bed quicker. These things greatly reduce the risks and improve safety for this operation.

Dr. Mentz is Triple Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who's specialty is Facelift. Most importantly, Dr. Mentz was trained in ENT Ears Nose and Throat as a surgeon.
