Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common, painful condition that can be treated non-surgically and surgically. A severe case can affect your ability to perform everyday activities. Repetitive stress on the wrist can cause compression on the median nerve as it becomes trapped against a ligament and causes your symptoms. Carpal tunnel may also be caused by trauma, tumor, gout, pregnancy, diabetes mellitus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Medical Weight Loss
Many patients see Dr. Ozeran for breasts that are sagging and have lost volume from excessive weight loss or post-pregnancy. Some patients have enough breast volume and require only a breast lift, or mastopexy. Patients who have lost a significant amount of breast volume often do best with a breast lift and an implant. Some patients do well with just an implant alone, especially with a high-profile implant. Breast lift is an outpatient procedure that takes about two hours.
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is a reality for many women, often during postpartum, menopausal, and postmenopausal stages. There are two main types of urinary incontinence: stress incontinence, which is the release of small amounts of urine after sneezing, coughing, or laughing; and urge incontinence*, which is feeling the strong urge to urinate and being unable to get to a restroom in time. Urinary incontinence can occur from vaginal laxity or looseness, which impacts the pelvic floor and the muscles’ ability to function effectively. The Viveve treatment, through the stimulation of collagen growth, helps the tissue become more pliant and supple, increasing tightness that helps the body control urine flow.
Confidence isn’t just about outward appearance – it’s how we feel inside, too. Women want to look and feel their best, and feminine health is a key. That’s where Viveve comes in. Many women suffer from the loss of vaginal tightness and sexual sensitivity, whether it’s the result of childbirth, a medical condition, or simply aging. Viveve works to stimulate the body’s own ability to produce collagen and elastin, the proteins that improve elasticity in tissue, along with balanced levels of estrogen and other hormones, which are critical to vaginal health.
Symptoms include numbness, tingling and weakness in the hand or muscles at the base of the thumb. In many cases carpal tunnel can be treated with wrist splints or anti-inflammatory medications to manage pain and to help induce healing. Work or activity modification may also be necessary to facilitate healing. In severe cases where other treatments have failed, minimally invasive endoscopic surgery may be necessary to release the ligament affected by the trapped nerve. Dr. Ozeran will advise you about the best treatment for your condition.
Epilepsy
Tell your doctor if you have any medical conditions as CoolToneâ„¢ should not be used over a menstruating uterus, over areas of the skin that lack normal sensation, in patients with fever, malignant tumor, hemorrhagic conditions, epilepsy, recent surgical procedure, pulmonary insufficiency, or pregnancy.
Dr. Ozeran often sees older patients with basilar arthritis of the thumb, including severe pain that is greatest at the base of the thumb. Often this radiates into the palm. Sometimes the pain is so severe that it's difficult to hold a pen. Fortunately, most patients respond to nonsurgical treatments such as glucosamine-chondroitin sulfate or non-steroidal pain medications. Some patients require a steroid injection or splinting to keep the thumb joint immobilized. In severe cases, surgery with a tendon graft or joint replacement is necessary to eliminate the pain. Dr. Ozeran can help determine if you have arthritis of your thumb and create a personalized treatment plan.
Ear Surgery
If protruding or disï¬ gured ears bother you or your child, you may consider cosmetic surgery. Ear surgery — also known as otoplasty — can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear. It can correct defects in ear structure that are present from birth and become more apparent with aging, or it can treat misshapen ears caused by injury. Ear surgery can bring balance and proportion to the ears and face. By correcting even minor deformities, you can experience profound beneï¬ ts to your appearance and self-esteem.
Hand Surgery
Dr. Ozeran has performed thousands of hand surgery procedures to correct hand conditions and injuries. If you have any hand condition such as carpal tunnel syndrome or trigger finger that interferes with your day-to-day activities, Dr. Ozeran is extremely qualified to help you. He will determine what is causing your pain or limitation and come up with a unique treatment plan for you.
Reconstructive Surgery

Years of squinting, concentrating or frowning can cause your skin to furrow and crease. As time passes, your skin becomes less elastic, and those frown lines between your brows may make you look angry and unapproachable. Botox
Brow Lift
A facelift improves visible signs of aging in the face and neck. The rejuvenation procedures Dr. Ozeran typically performs in conjunction with a facelift are brow lift to correct a sagging or deeply furrowed brow and blepharoplasty to rejuvenate aging eyes and eyelids. A facelift does not change your fundamental appearance and cannot stop the aging process. The best facelift can only be performed surgically. Nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time when a facelift becomes appropriate and complement the results of your surgery.
Liposuction
Whether you want to slim down, tighten up, have the body you used to have, or just look better, SmartLipo liposuction can help. If you eat healthy and exercise regularly but you seem to be getting nowhere trying to reshape your body, liposuction may be just what the doctor ordered. SmartLipo liposuction is the latest innovation in laser body sculpting, fat removal and skin tightening so you can finally have the body you have always wanted. SmartLipo liposuction is ideal for areas of skin laxity, such as the neck and arms, or for removal of fat from the abdomen, love handles, saddlebags or inner and outer thighs. This minimally invasive procedure usually requires only local anesthesia, after which you will be able to return to work in a couple of days and resume exercise after two weeks.
Breast Augmentation
Most patients desiring breast augmentation have breasts that are small. Many feel embarrassed about their breasts, which can damage self-esteem and confidence in relationships. Many find it difficult to find clothes that fit well. We work closely with our patients to make sure that we select the right size and style of implant. Dr. Ozeran will answer your questions thoroughly to minimize your anxiety. He primarily uses Mentor
Breast Reduction
Dr. Ozeran sees many patients with very large breasts who want breast reduction. Those patients often suffer neck and back pain, poor posture, rashes under the breast folds and difficulty finding bras and clothes that fit well. Patients often have numbness and tingling in their fingers. If you think you may be helped with breast reduction, contact our office today. Many insurance plans cover the procedure if the symptoms and the amount of breast tissue to be removed meet certain criteria. Most of our breast reduction patients wish they had chosen the procedure years before. Your quality of life and ability to be active are improved tenfold. We perform breast reduction either as an outpatient or with an overnight stay in the hospital. The procedure takes about three hours.
Breast Lift
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, sometimes referred to as “nose reshaping†or a “nose job,†improves the appearance and proportion of your nose, enhancing facial harmony and self-confidence. Rhinoplasty may also correct impaired breathing caused by structural abnormalities in the nose. While the shape of your nose is usually the result of heredity, the appearance may have been altered by an injury or prior surgery.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction and skin reconstruction will undoubtedly improve your overall self-image and confidence. Breast reconstruction is typically done after a breast (whole or part) has been removed or when an implant needs removal. Skin reconstruction is usually performed to help correct burns or major scarring, but we also perform skin grafting and skin cancer treatment or removal. Dr. Ozeran can help you overcome any physical imperfections caused by any circumstance.
Plastic Surgery
While Dr. Ozeran’s interest in medicine may have been somewhat genetically inspired, his state-of-the-art plastic surgery practice is the result of his own hard work, dedication and skill. Dr. Ozeran’s hospital affiliations include St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, ID and Tri-State Memorial Hospital in Clarkston, WA
Thigh Lift
Thigh lift surgery reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned legs. If your fitness and weight loss efforts have not achieved your goals for a firmer, more youthful-looking and more proportionate body, a surgical thigh lift may be a good choice for you. Aging, sun damage, pregnancy and significant fluctuations in weight as well as genetic factors may contribute to poor tissue elasticity and can result in skin sagging. If you want a firmer, more youthful-looking body contour, then a surgical thigh lift may help achieve your goals.
Face Lift
® or eliminating crow’s-feet at the corners of your eyes, can make a big difference in your appearance and confidence. As the area’s only board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Ozeran’s outstanding reputation, skill and results have made him the trusted choice for women and men throughout Lewiston, Clarkston, Cottonwood, Orofino, Pomeroy and surrounding communities. If you want beautiful results from an arm lift, body lift, facelift, tummy tuck or liposuction, you are in exceptionally good hands with Dr. Ozeran. He is also known for his excellent results with carpal tunnel surgery, trigger finger correction and hand surgery, plus blepharoplasty (eyelid lifts) and skin cancer treatment.
Blepharoplasty
Signs of aging often show up around the eyes. Droopy eyelids, sags and bags can make you look tired, even when you feel quite awake. Blepharoplasty can restore that youthful appearance to your eyes by removing unwanted fat and excess skin from the eyelids, so you look more vibrant and alert. Dr. Ozeran has extensive expertise in blepharoplasty. He uses various techniques to remove excess skin that obscures the natural fold in the upper eyelids, correct puffiness in the upper and lower eyelids, remove excess skin and correct fine wrinkles and lines around the eyes. Successful blepharoplasty can remove bags and droopiness and make your eyes look younger and more alert while giving you enhanced self-esteem and confidence in your appearance.
Abdominoplasty
Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, and in most cases restores weakened or separated muscles, creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer. Although the results of a tummy tuck are technically permanent, your positive outcome can be greatly diminished by significant fluctuations in your weight. For this reason, we may advise people who are planning substantial weight loss or women considering future pregnancies to postpone tummy tuck surgery.
Nose Surgery
Body Lift
A well-toned body with smooth contours is a sign of fitness achieved by healthy diet and exercise. But exercise and diet alone cannot always achieve desired results for people with loose, sagging skin and uneven contours. Aging, sun damage, pregnancy, significant fluctuations in weight and genetic factors may contribute to poor tissue elasticity and can result in sagging of the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and upper arms. For a firmer, more youthful-looking body contour, a surgical body lift may help achieve your goals. A body lift can improve the shape and tone of the underlying tissues that support fat and skin. In addition, a body lift can improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface, commonly known as cellulite. A body lift may also improve the look of the abdomen, buttocks, groin and thighs. Body lifts are not intended strictly for the removal of excess fat. Liposuction alone can remove excess fat deposits where skin has good elasticity and is able to naturally conform to new body contours. In cases where skin elasticity is poor, we may recommend a combination of liposuction and body lift techniques.
Otoplasty
Scar Revision
Scar revision surgery is meant to minimize the scar so that it is more consistent with your surrounding skin tone and texture. Although scar revision can provide a more pleasing cosmetic result or improve a scar that has healed poorly, a scar cannot be completely erased.
Body Contouring
PMeet CoolTone, Allergan’s latest innovation in body contouring. CoolTone is a noninvasive body contouring treatment that uses Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) technology to strengthen, tone, and firm the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia  accounts for over 65 percent of male breast disorders according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Unlike women, who talk openly about breast augmentation, men do not discuss male breasts and hide the condition under their clothes. After male breast reduction surgery, they resume their lives as if they never had it done. Gynecomastia can make men who are just a few pounds overweight look much heavier than they really are. Gynecomastia really is common. The good news is that it is treatable. Men of any age who are healthy and emotionally stable are considered good candidates for male breast reduction surgery.
Cosmetic Surgery
€œMy interest in medicine was sparked by the way my dad approached his patients – he was very hands-on and paid personal attention to his patients. I knew back then that I wanted to emulate his kind of patient-centered care in my practice. Getting to know my patients and helping them achieve their cosmetic surgery goals is what I enjoy most about this profession.
The most common skin cancers are basal cell, squamous cell and melanoma. Dr. Ozeran is highly skilled at tumor removal. While the most important part of skin cancer treatment is complete removal of the tumor, Dr. Ozeran also does an excellent job of restoring the natural appearance of the remaining features. He performs lymph node mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy in addition to tumor removal. This skin cancer treatment helps identify whether melanoma has spread into the lymph nodes and helps direct further treatment as necessary. Dr. Ozeran is trained in this specialized procedure. He has the skill and expertise for complete skin cancer treatment right here in Lewiston.

Treatments for Dupuytren's contracture vary from needling to break up or puncture the hard tissue that is causing the bent finger(s) to enzyme injections to soften or weaken the cords in the palm. In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove the hard tissue completely for a longer-lasting result. Most patients who undergo surgery also need physical therapy afterward to restore strength and function.
Occupational Therapy
Like so many other conditions, the severity will dictate the type of treatment. Conservative treatments include taking non steroidal anti-inflammatories such as aspirin, ibuprofen or other over-the-counter pain relievers. A splint can immobilize and support the elbow during healing, and physical or occupational therapy can help strengthen the tern dons and ligaments of the hand and elbow. Severe cases may require surgery to release the entrapped nerve.
Tennis Elbow
If you play tennis or golf and develop elbow pain from the repetitive motion involved in the sport, you may have a tendon injury commonly referred to as tennis elbow or golfer's elbow. In fact, anyone involved in an activity involving repeated, vigorous elbow movements (think painters, cooks and carpenters) can develop the condition. Treatment can reduce the inflammation and pain and restore your function.
