Stem Cells, The New Cosmetic Buzz Word
Way back in the day when lasers were first developed, as well as today, any procedure that had the word “laser” in it’s title automatically became a better procedure even if it was not. In some cases the laser did in fact offer better results, but more often than not, it simply attracked more attention, and bestowed on that procedure an unwarranted quality which was presumed to be better. Not so. -more-

Perhaps its something you have thought long and hard about.
Perhaps its something that you have only recently considered. Whatever the circumstances surrounding your interest in a specific cosmetic procedure, you will find information here that will answer many of your questions and give you insight into concerns and issues that might be foremost on your mind. If you have additional questions, please contact us and we will be happy to answer them to the best of our ability. Nearly every surgery Dr. Popp performs can be done under straight local anesthesia (numbing the area with just a Novacain-like solution), local plus some sedation (twilight sleep), or general anesthesia (completely out). Those patients worried about being awake can be put out and those fearful of being “put to sleep” can have their surgery done awake and pain free.
After working hard to lose more than 120 pounds, I was left with extra skin on my arms. My daughter in Omaha contacted Dr. Popp, explained that I lived in another state, and asked if he would be willing to do the surgery even though he would not meet me until possibly the day before the procedure. After emailing pictures and basic information, Dr. Popp called me at home to discuss what I wanted done. My mind was put at ease after talking to him. -more-

I absolutely LOVE my new look! I was very nervous before my consultation, but Dr. Popp’s information made me feel so comfortable and at ease about the decision. I especially thank you gals on staff because I know I called the office a lot with questions, and you all remembered me and were very helpful every time I called. I know that there are plenty of plastic surgeons in the area, but I am certainly glad that I chose Dr. Popp. -more-

After having two cesarean sections my self esteem was at an all-time low. My stomach was so stretched out that it would never be the same. The more weight I lost, the worse it got! I had an abdominoplasty at Popp Cosmetic Surgery and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. In many ways, I got my life back. Many years later my daughter got bit in the face by a dog. Once again, we turned to Dr. Popp. I would recommend Dr. Popp to anyone. -more-

I first met Dr. Popp around the first part of 2009. I had an upper and lower eyelid fat removal. The difference was superb. A few months later I desired to have my face resurfaced. It was even a more noticeable improvement with the total picture. My pictures of before and after the procedures tell the story all by itself. I would recommend Dr. Popp and his great staff to anyone who was thinking of having any procedure done.
