Breast & Body

  • Dr. Bafitis has hosted medical meetings at his state-of-the-art certified surgery center/office where he performs live surgery with a Body Jet including fat transfer procedures. Physicians receive CME (continuing medical education) credits and have a chance to see for themselves the efficacy of this system.

  • Because an individual’s body build is determined for the most part by genetic influences, women may not be able to achieve the look they want through diet and exercise alone. Dr. Bafitis performs breast augmentation for women who desire to look the way they feel– stunning!

  • Today, women who are disturbed by sagging or loose breasts as a result of pregnancy, weight loss or natural aging can be helped by a remarkable surgical technique called breast lift or mastopexy. This procedure is designed to elevate and reshape the breast.

  • Post mastectomy, many women fear they’ve lost their femininity. A pioneer of fat grafting, Dr. Bafitis has developed new techniques on the frontier of the field to restore a natural, womanly appearance in his patients. This is significant for achieving the most definitive and natural shape for aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery.

Face

  • Dr. Harold Bafitis, a plastic surgeon in Palm Beach who serves Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington, and the general south Florida markets, has a national reputation when it comes to performing rhinoplasty procedures. Dr. Bafitis has led teaching conferences at national cosmetic plastic surgery meetings, sharing his technique with integrated rhinoplasty. He has done this 7 times over the last 12 years – and has performed live nasal surgery, on close circuit TV, with literally hundreds of cosmetic surgeons and resident plastic surgeons in attendance. He has also recently been asked to author a chapter in a medical textbook on rhinoplasty techniques.

  • Facial rejuvenation has been noted by many cosmetic plastic surgeons to be extremely difficult in achieving a natural, relaxed, un-operated look. A patient must trust the artistry and scientific technique of the surgeon to create a sculpture that will look natural and “age” well. Dr. Harold Bafitis, has a national reputation.

  • Dr. Bafitis can use a special scope to fix the brow to a more relaxed, youthful height. He can remove some of the depressor muscles and actually fat graft the areas of the brow, bringing about a more relaxed, natural improvement.

  • Otoplasty, sometimes described as “pinning back” the ears, is designed to change shape and contour of the ears. It may be performed on anyone over the age of five or six years old, the age at which ear growth is almost complete.

Hair Restoration

  • For many men, hair loss is inevitable. It is a hereditary condition that increases with age. These genes may be passed from either the maternal or paternal side. Approximately 21 million women suffer from hair loss, 40% of women have noticeable hair loss by age 40.

    The reasons for hair loss in women often have to do with heredity. Other reasons include hormonal changes, stress, illness, and poor nutrition.
