Sykes Beauty Blog: Labiaplasty
In response to an increasing number of inquiries over the past few years, I have begun to perform labiaplasty, or feminine genital surgery. This procedure is generally requested for people who feel they have an excess of tissue in the genital area, which may cause problems with clothing, hygiene, sexual function, or just simply discomfort with appearance.
Sykes Beauty Blog: Breast Implants
There is a lot of discussion these days about breast implants. Are they safe? Can they cause cancer? Can they make you sick?
At this time, there is a known but very rare form of cancer that has been associated primarily with textured breast implants (Biocell). The plastic surgery society (ASPS) is carefully reviewing this data along with the FDA. Currently, their recommendations are that your implants are fine if you have no symptoms.
There are also people who feel their breast implants are making them ill. One name for it is “Breast Implant Illness.” In these cases, removal of the implants can relieve the patient’s symptoms about 50% of the time.
Sykes Beauty Blog: Red Light – Yellow Light: LED Light Rejuvenation
Our office offers the benefits of red light and yellow light treatments. These are painless, 20-minute treatments which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and help to restore your skin’s youthful appearance. The yellow light also helps to reduce inflammation. They are done in a series of treatments. These treatments also work very well as a gentle way to help reduce acne and improve skin health in younger patients.
Micro-needling
We are happy to be offering a new procedure: Micro-needling of the face and body. Our new “Skin Pen” is the first FDA- approved device for micro-needling (collagen induction). It can be used to stimulate collagen rebuilding for facial rejuvenation, fine lines and wrinkles, and can also be used on hands, scars, stretch marks and more.
ThermiVa
Our patients speak for themselves about the value of our ThermiVa treatments. One said, “I threw away my pads.” Our patients are repeating treatments as maintenance. It is clear that the improvement in stress incontinence as well as feminine moisture are of great benefit to them.
Emsculpt
EMSCULPT is amazing! It really does help to both build muscle and reduce fat. It is easy, kind of like going to the gym without breaking a sweat. It works its magic on the abdomen, the buttocks, and the thighs. We now have the newer paddles, which work the upper arms and the calves.
Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery
Female genital
surgery, or Labiaplasty, has been gaining in popularity and requests for this
procedure have been increasing in our practice.
We are happy to report that we are now providing this service.
Our patients have been interested in
reducing excessive tissues in the genital area due to embarrassment, discomfort
in clothing, desire for more symmetric appearance, etc.
This surgery involves reduction of
the tissues where necessary, using surgical techniques.
Our office also offers ThermiVa, a
nonsurgical series of treatments using Radiofrequency. The treatment stimulates the tissues to
become more youthful, with better moisture and blood supply. This can aid in sexual function, as well as
help with stress urinary incontinence.
It can also reduce to some degree some of the excess external tissue and
provide some tightening.

Everyone needs to have diversions from their schedules, especially a busy professional such as Dr. Sykes. Having been raised in a home filled with lots of artistic and musical talent, it's no wonder that she still immerses herself in these favorite pastimes.
Her artistic talent was part of what drew her into the specialty of plastic surgery. She is an accomplished artist and displays some of her paintings and needlecraft in the office.
As a musician, she plays several instruments and sings in a band alongside her husband.
