Dr. Sigal & Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery Staff Join the University of Miami's Medishare Haiti Earthquake Relief Project

Reston, VA The devastation in Haiti continues to draw much needed support from across the globe. Several members of The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Northern Virginia will be volunteering with the University of Miami's Medishare Haiti Project. Dr. Robert Sigal will lead a surgical team from the Austin-Weston Center. They will be spending a week in Port-au-Prince contributing much needed medical relief to earthquake victims. Their Austin-Weston Center surgical team leaves on March 22.

Project Medishare Haiti is part of The Global Institute under the University of Miami Schools of Medicine and Nursing. The Global Institute works for the advancement of global health and development throughout the Western Hemisphere and beyond. Since the catastrophic earthquake, the University of Miami physicians and healthcare professionals have been in Haiti treating the injured. The Austin-Weston Cosmetic Surgery Team will join them in their hospital, which consists of four large tents in the Port-au-Prince air field. The medical staff there and over 140 volunteers and military personnel work in the busy field hospital, providing medical care and performing surgeries in very demanding conditions.

The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery was founded in 1978 and was the first practice in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area that was limited exclusively to cosmetic surgery. It is now the largest free standing facility in the area with three nationally respected surgeons on board, Dr. George Weston, Dr. Byron Poindexter and Dr. Robert Sigal. The Austin-Weston Team have been celebrated for their special expertise across the globe as well as their ongoing charitable and community work, including sending medical supplies and staff to aid after Hurricane Katrina.

The jaw line softens, the nasolabial folds deepen, the brows and eyelids sag; bags may form under the eyes and the chin may go double. Or, a large weight loss may have left excess skin hanging around the face and neck. Today, there are many facelift options, and...
