Dr. George Commons

Dr. Commons of Palo Alto California and Dr. Di Giuseppi of Italy combine their vast 10 years of experience with Vaser liposculpture of the neck and face in a discussion filled with simple routes to a beautiful face and neck in younger women (60 and under) who respond fantasticly to a 60 minute procedure (as opposed to a more involved face lift). This is especially appropriate for those with excess fat about the face and neck and loose skin that is in moderate range. Dr. Commons has developed techniques that allow the Vaser liposculpture to be incorporated into the traditional face lift for more elegant, natural results. Photo documentation of Dr. Commons results can be seen on his website, www.pacfpc.com. Many women and men have received beautiful enhancements in 60 minute Vaser liposculpture procedures by Dr. Commons, and so have been able to avoid more extensive and costly traditional face lifts. Recovery time in Vaser liposculpture procedures is also a great benefit, as patients are able to return to work in 4 or 5 days. The Vaser Ultrasonic Liposculpture system is based on a delicate liposelection system that allows unwanted fat to be removed and skin to be reduced, while at the same time saving all the vital structures. Dr. Commons states that, "What we take in liposculpture is important, but what we leave behind is the really critical issue." Vaser gently leaves the vital structures intact, the skin beautiful, and the patient with an easy, nearly pain-free recovery. Dr. Commons employs the Vaser in all facelift surgery because it always enhances the results. The Vaser system of Liposelection is the system of liposculpture that Dr. Commons teaches to Stanford University Plastic Surgery residents. His center in Palo Alto, the Palo Alto Center for Plastic Surgery, is a center for resident teaching for Stanford University Plastic Surgery. Dr. Commons will soon announce a new chapter in a book yet to be published also on the same subject.

The question here is, "What is a safe, simple, cost effective, alternative to a traditional face lift?" The answer is Facial and Neck Vaser Liposculpture - Liposelection. Stunning results, simple procedure, speedy recovery, little pain, and cost efficient, Vaser is an extremely productive choice for the proper male or female candidate.

As a youth, becoming a doctor was a distant dream for me. I spent my early years in western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. My mother taught me a great appreciation for music. My father led the way in the beauty of wildlife, nature, sports and photography. Both had the greatest appreciation of intensive academic achievement. My mother was a pianist, so I became a pianist and considered that as a career. A liberal arts education with a degree in chemistry at Allegheny College and a Doctor of Medicine degree at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine followed.

After obtaining my M.D. degree I interned in surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. Once at Stanford University, I was in awe of the plastic surgical genius of Robert Chase, M.D. and Donald Laub, M.D. Over a five-year period following my internship, I completed a residency program in Plastic Surgery. After Stanford there were two years in the U.S. Air Force in the Philippines (Clark Air Force Base). This was my first experience in making people's lives better by applying the skills I learned through my many years of education. There I performed over 500 procedures on burned children and children with cleft lips during the two years.

On return from Air Force life, I established a plastic surgery practice in Palo Alto and was a clinical faculty member at Stanford. Today my position as an adjunct assistant professor of surgery at the Stanford University Medical Center (Plastic Surgery) allows me the joy of working with residents. Surgery is my true passion, and I continue to find great joy in improving people's lives through cosmetic surgery.
