Aesthetic Enhancements

The goal of all aesthetic enhancements is to improve the skin and facial appearance. However, there are many different types and choosing the right enhancements for you can be a confusing process.

Options to Look and Feel Your Best

Botox® is a protein that is injected to facial areas with deep lines to relax or paralyze the muscle and smooth wrinkles. The injections are used with a very fine needle, and do not require anesthesia. The Botox® treatment lasts three to six months depending on the individual.

Fillers are injectables used to restore volume loss. Central Maine Healthcare offers many different types for different areas of the face.

  • Juvéderm®: an injectable filler containing hyaluronic acid, which is a complex sugar naturally occurring in the body that decreases with age. It improves the skin’s elasticity and may be used to improve deep skin folds and to enhance lips. Treatments usually last six months to a year, depending upon the individual.
  • Voluma® XC: the first and only FDA-approved injectable gel that can instantly add volume to your cheek area. Its effects can last up to two years with optimal treatment.
  • Kybella®: the first and only FDA-approved “double chin” treatment. This filler is an injection of deoxycholic acid, which can improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat under the chin.

Traditional Skincare: These services are likely the ones you’re most familiar with and can sometimes be found in spas. Central Maine Healthcare provides superior results over spas because of our medical grade equipment and product, as well as our highly trained team members.

  • Microdermabrasion: finely crushed diamonds expertly remove dead skin on the surface of the face. This procedure is ideal for fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, scarring and overall exfoliation. It requires no down-time.
  • Skin Peels: a solution to the face, neck or hands for exfoliations. Also known as chemical peels, these treatments are a several-step process that may require several visits. The goal is to make the skin appear smoother and younger by removing a variety of imperfections such as age spots, acne, etc.
  • Facials: designed specifically for your skin type and needs, we offer facials in varying strengths from gentle to highly corrective. A consultation with your esthetician will allow you to decide what strength is right for you.

Central Maine Healthcare also offers Obagi® skin care products (a full line of scientifically formulated, medical grade skincare products) and Jane Iredale Skin Care Makeup® (made with quality formulas that contribute to skincare health) so you can optimize your results.

Asclera®: This injection is used to treat or remove spider and reticular veins and significantly lessen their appearance.

Latisse®: A prescription product used for hypotrichosis (loss or reduction of hair) of the eye. A liquid called Latisse® is applied to the lash line daily at home to thicken, darken and lengthen eyelashes.

Cosmetic Procedures: Our elective cosmetic options include surgery on all parts of the body for both men and women. From face lifts to breast augmentation to tummy tucks to liposuction, Central Maine Healthcare’s board-certified plastic surgeons can help you feel and look your best. Please note that these procedures are major surgeries and require significant downtime. Our care coordinator, surgeon and other team members will advise you on pre and post-operative care.

Laser Services: Our state-of-the-art lasers offer a completely non-invasive, yet extremely effective way to improve your skin. Specialties include laser hair removal, tattoo removal, skin tightening and resurfacing, treatment for pigmentation and sunspots, as well as scar revision. Most of these treatments require little to no downtime, and you can return to work immediately after. They are typically most effective when completed as a series of treatments over time.

Reconstructive surgery can restore appearance and function after injury or illness. For example, people recovering from breast cancer often turn to us for breast and nipple reconstruction, while those who’ve undergone bariatric surgery or other forms of major weight loss often seek us out for excess skin removal. Many patients seeking reconstructive surgery are referred to us from inside the Central Maine Healthcare system. We work collaboratively with other providers for the best possible outcome.

Skin cancer screenings: If you cannot get an appointment at your dermatologist’s office due to long wait times or other difficulties, visit us at our Central Maine Medical Center or Bridgton Hospital locations for a skin health evaluation.

Cosmetic Procedures

The goal of cosmetic surgery is different for everyone. For some, the goal is to restore their appearance after aging, stress, childbirth or genetics have taken their toll. For others, the goal is maintenance and prevention. And for others still, the goal is to augment their natural appearance so that they feel more at home in their bodies.

No matter your reason, cosmetic surgery is a highly personal choice that can require significant investment. Central Maine Healthcare understands that and takes your satisfaction very seriously. During your visit, our double-board certified surgeon will take the time to listen, walk through all of your options and answer any questions so you can make the right choice for you. To book your consultation, call 207-795-6543.

Laser Services

Lasers are one of the most exciting skincare developments in recent years and are completely non-invasive; meaning no tool ever touches your skin. And yet, they provide such effective results for wrinkles, skin tightness, reduction, age spots, acne and rosacea and other issues that they can prevent or delay the need for stronger interventions and save you thousands on ineffectual products and monthly waxing. Central Maine Healthcare loves lasers for their versatility and efficiency — and you will, too.  Kate, our certified laser technician, has years of experience providing safe, results-driven treatments to clients of all ages, ethnicities and skin types.

At Central Maine Healthcare, our experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon will work with you in an intimate and comfortable setting to make sure you feel at ease asking questions. We make sure every appointment feels friendly, supportive and accessible, whether your surgery is big or small.

Helping You Feel Whole

Breast and Nipple Reconstruction: Following a mastectomy after breast cancer a breast reconstruction can improve your self-confidence and help to ease your cancer recovery, so that you can look and feel like yourself again.

Breast Reduction to Improve Comfort: large breasts can cause severe back pain and other physical problems. A reduction can ease your pain, and make you feel more comfortable in day-to-day life.

Body Contouring after major weight loss: Losing a substantial amount of weight often results in excess skin. We can skillfully remove this skin, taking great care to hide and minimize scarring while improving your self-esteem and quality of life.

Head and Neck Reconstruction Post-Trauma: After a major traumatic event, reconstructing the head and neck can not only improve physical appearance but also restore functionality to eyes, nose, mouth and other areas.

Skin Lesion/Cyst Removal: Skin lesions and cysts are very common and usually minor. However, that doesn’t make them any more fun to have around. Dr. Foley can remove your lesion or cyst with precision and minimal scarring.

Scar Revision: Scars can be unsightly, as well as painful reminders of a difficult time. Dr. Foley can perform a surgery to “revise” or minimize the appearance of the scar so that it is less noticeable and blends in with the surrounding skin tone and texture.

To make your appointment, call 207-795-6543.

Types of Surgery We Offer

Whether your procedure is routine or complex, rest assured you’re in good hands at Central Maine Healthcare.

Many of our board-certified surgeons practice in highly specialized areas, with advanced training in everything from tumor removal to trauma, hernia repair to heart care.

It’s all part of our commitment to bring leading surgical care right to the central and western Maine surrounding communities we serve. So you can focus less on traveling, and more on healing.

General surgery

Our surgeons treat all types of health problems affecting the esophagus, stomach, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix and bile ducts. We take a minimally invasive approach whenever possible, including appendectomies and gallbladder removal, as well as complex hernia repair. These laparoscopic procedures require just a few small incisions, which often means significantly less pain and quicker return to your life.

Cancer surgery

For many types of cancer, surgery is often the best first treatment, especially for early stage cancers or those that are contained to one area. Our board-certified surgeons are skilled in removing even the most complex tumors, while helping minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissue. We also work closely with specialists in radiation and medical oncology to ensure the best possible care.

Gynecologic surgery

Our women’s health experts perform a wide range of gynecologic procedures to address concerns at any age and stage of life. That includes treatment for endometriosis, removing fibroids and ovarian cysts, and minimally invasive techniques for incontinence and hysterectomy.

Skin Cancer

Screening for Skin Cancer

Each year, more than a million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with the most common forms of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma — which together are known as non-melanoma skin cancers.

Fortunately, there are ways to detect most non-melanoma skin cancers early, when they are curable. Looking carefully at your skin – especially those areas that are exposed to the sun – on a regular basis is all the screening you need. For hard-to-see areas, like your back, use a mirror.

Melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer, is not as common as the other two major types of skin cancer, but is much more serious. This makes early detection and treatment of the disease very important. Healthcare providers recommend knowing the pattern of moles and freckles on your body so that you’ll notice any changes.

If you have a personal or family history of skin cancer, including melanoma, or have noticed anything new or unusual during your self-exam, Central Maine Healthcare’s primary care providers are here to help. We offer comprehensive exams to assess any concerns or changes in your skin, and can refer you directly to a dermatologist, if needed.

Diagnosing Skin Cancer

After examining your skin, your doctor may remove a small sample of tissue (skin biopsy) from any suspicious areas. You may also have imaging tests to examine nearby lymph nodes or an in-office procedure to remove a lymph node and test it for signs of cancer (sentinel lymph node biopsy).

If skin cancer is diagnosed, our specialists will use advanced CT scans or other X-ray tests to determine the extent of the cancer. We use Roman numerals I through IV to indicate a cancer’s stage. Stage I cancers are small and limited to the area where they began. Stage IV indicates advanced cancer that has spread to other areas of the body.

Based on the stage of the cancer, your provider will work closely with our cancer specialists and you to create a personalized treatment plan.

Screening and Diagnosis

If you’re worried you may have skin cancer, we understand you want a diagnosis as soon as possible. At Central Maine Healthcare, our primary care providers will see you quickly, answer all your questions and strive to get you a fast and accurate diagnosis.

Treatment

A diagnosis of skin cancer can be unsettling. But at Central Maine Comprehensive Cancer Center, we offer a full range of options to treat—and beat—the disease.

Our dedicated team—including board-certified dermatologists, surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists and more specialists— work closely together and with you to create a personalized treatment plan. And you have access to a full range of support services and leading cancer clinical trials, right here at home.

Surgery

Surgery may be performed to remove the tumor, as well as some surrounding tissue to help ensure the skin cancer is eliminated. Nearby lymph nodes may also be removed if the cancer has spread there.

Our plastic surgery practice offers the Mohs surgical technique, which allows doctors to precisely identify and remove an entire tumor while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue unharmed. It offers the highest cure rate among skin cancer treatments.

Radiation Therapy

Central Maine Comprehensive Cancer Center uses the most advanced technology available to target skin cancer with extreme precision. Treatments include intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), all which focus high-dose radiation directly on the tumor, while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Medical Therapy

We offer the latest and most effective chemotherapy options, and use newer medications that help minimize the side effects of chemotherapy whenever possible.

We also offer immunotherapy—newer, FDA-approved drug therapies help your own immune system fight the cancer. This treatment may be beneficial for patients with high-risk or advanced melanoma, and used along with surgery and/or chemotherapy.

Support

Throughout your journey, you’ll find a variety of cancer support services to meet your physical, emotional, spiritual and financial needs. That includes your very own nurse navigator to coordinate all of your care, answer any questions and provide extra comfort and support every step of the way.

Reconstructive Surgery

For some cancer patients, reconstructive surgery may be part of their cancer treatment process.

Central Maine Plastic Surgery has an experienced team with the expertise to assist a variety of needs. The surgeons perform reconstructive surgeries, scar revisions and lesion removals, as well as cosmetic procedures.

Plastic surgery, often the last procedure in a treatment process, can help patients feel whole again.

Plastic surgeons combine surgical training with an aesthetic skill that is essential to the process. They work closely with each patient to create the best results.

The answering service will page the provider and have them return your call. Please unblock your phone line to allow the physician to call you back. The on-call care provider will not take non-urgent after hour calls regarding refills or appointments.

Release of Information to A Spouse or Family Member: Patient confidentiality laws require you to sign a release before your care provider can talk with your spouse, family member or anyone else about your care. If you would like to have such a release sent to you, please contact us.

Medical Records: A signed authorization release is required for the release of any medical records. We do whatever is necessary to ensure the privacy of our patients. If you are transferring from another provider’s office, please have your medical records forwarded to our office. We reserve the right to charge a fee for copying of medical records.

Patient Satisfaction & Policy Regarding Cosmetic Revision: Our goal is your satisfaction. Plastic and cosmetic surgery is an art based in science. Perfection, while always the goal, is rarely achieved. We strive for the best outcomes possible, but occasionally dissatisfaction occurs. While working with you, your surgeon may recommend a revision to help achieve your ultimate goal for the procedure. Depending on the circumstances, the revision may be done at an additional cost to you. In rare cases, your surgeon may offer you a reduced or no cost revision within six months of your procedure.
