Combining a vast array of interests and expertise, Dr. Locke describes his specialty as "Personal Image Enhancing Services"
Specialty interests in aesthetics, cosmetic surgery, anti-aging (hormone replacement therapy) and bariatric medicine (Medically supervised weight loss) and addiction medicine as specialty interests are built upon board certifications in internal medicine and emergency medicine.
He has done extensive training in many aspects of cosmetic surgery, including liposuction and fat transfers trained under several pioneers in the field. He instructs doctors learning body contouring techniques and remains an avid learner in advanced areas of medical and surgical image enhancement services. Dr. Locke believes that it is important to have the surgeon involved from the very first appointment and throughout all the follow up care. Failure to be able to see or easily speak to the surgeon is a warning sign! You want to be treated like a special patient and not more or less like a number. Dr. Locke takes great pride in bringing over 30 years of experience caring for complicated medical patients to the current surgical practice. This experience enables him to be comfortable caring for many patients desiring cosmetic procedures that traditionally trained surgeons fear. You are invited to learn more about Dr. Locke’s philosophy and surgical approach by visiting: www.drthomaslocke.com, and www.wiselipo.com. The focus of all activities is improvement in patients' self-image and helping to make the world a better place— helping one person at a time.
Specializing in the field of cosmetic surgery, Dr. Locke performs surgical and non-surgical procedures to improve or restore the aesthetics of a specific feature of body part. Cosmetic surgery may include rhinoplasty (or "nose jobs"), chin reshaping, face or necklifts, lipsuction or tummy tucks. A mainstay of cosmetic surgery, breast procedures such as breast augmentation, reduction, or lifts are among the most popular procedures performed by cosmetic surgeons.
The specialty of internal medicine is an area of primary care for adults. Dr. Locke specializes in diagnosing and treating cross-system illnesses that may affect multiple organ systems. He may also refer patients to specialist physicians when medically needed. For instance, patients with serious heart problems could be referred to a cardiologist for further diagnostic tests or therapies.
