One of the most sought after cosmetic procedures performed is that of liposuction. Liposuction is designed to remove excess fat from the body. Often times, specific “problem,” areas are targeted. Common areas on both men and women include the underarms, the thighs, and the abdominal area.

See our before and after pictures of liposuction.

If you are interested in undergoing liposuction, it is important to know that you may not necessarily get to. Quality cosmetic surgeons, namely the ones you will want operating on you, have strict standards and qualifications for candidates. These typically include those of the age of eighteen, those in good health, and those who have the desire to lose weight. Good health and the desire to stay on a healthy path is important so that complications do not arise.

Want to know if you qualify for liposuction? Call our referral line for more information.

Unfortunately, those who are obese aren’t always good candidates for liposuction. This is because only a small about of fat can be removed at once, as there are dangers to removing too much. Also, those who are obese are likely to have diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart problems. These all increase the risk of complications. If you are obese, there is good news though. You may be a candidate for gastric bypass surgery or another similar procedure, like the Lapband. You can call us for free information about these procedures.

In addition to assisting with weight loss, Plastic Surgery can also be used to help those who have lost a significant amount of weight. If you had a large weight loss, like 100 pounds or more, you may have a lot of excess skin just, literally, hanging around. This may make you feel unattractive and scared to show off your great new body. It is ironic when this happens though, as one of your weight loss goals was to look good. Plastic Surgery, as previously stated, can provide you with assistance. You can receive a full body lift, unless you have specific areas you would like targeted. Although there are a number of side effects, including pain and discomfort, you will likely be pleased with the results.

As a reminder, not everyone is the perfect candidate for Plastic Surgery. The first thing that you will want to do is find and choose a cosmetic surgeon or surgery center in your area. Thankfully, we are here to assist you in making the right decision. When you call us, you will have the procedure explained to you and we will help you decide if Plastic Surgery is the best option for you.

Gynecomastia is a condition of excessive fat buildup on the male chest area, resulting in breasts and nipples which are notably feminine in appearance. It occurs to more than half of all adolescent boys, and to over thirty percent of adult men. Although the breast swollenness is harmless, its appearance can look anything from a slight protrusion to a full female-breast semblance. Puffy nipples can happen alongside or in spite of the swollenness, but it can be corrected with surgery. The usual causes of gynecomastia include a reduced testosterone production, the intake of hormones like estrogens and androgens, prescriptions (like eplerenone and phenytoin), and in some cases, physical conditions like liver and kidney conditions, and genetic abnormalities.

Whether gynecomastia surgery is intended to reduce the prominence of the nipples or to correct man boobs, sculpting the entire chest area is necessary in order to achieve proportionality and a more pleasing aesthetic. To correct the prominence of the nipples, two kinds of tissues are removed during the surgery: the fat deposits which rest behind the nipples, or the inflated glandular tissue. The surgeon will either remove the fat deposits through liposuction or remove the gland with a scalpel; he may also employ both techniques if the condition is caused by both types of tissues. It is a minor surgery with minimal incision; the entry cut is made around the areola of the nipple, and the scar resulting from it is practically invisible, being concealed by the areolas dark pigmentation.

The correction of puffy nipples through gynecomastia surgery can be as brief as two hours, and the recovery period usually lasts for only two days. Once the patient recovers from bed rest, he is made to wear a special garment (a compression vest) in order to guard the incisions, reduce breast inflammation, and to protect the stitches from undue pressure. The vest is hardly noticeable beneath normal clothing, and may even have the appearance of a body shaper.

The cost for having gynecomastia differs, and is dependent on the surgeons proficiency, area of operation, and specialty. Those who specialize in male plastic surgery will require lower fees than those who are into general plastic surgery, and a surgeon who is relatively inexperienced with the procedure will also charge for less. It is thus important that the patient considers the surgeons experience and skill when choosing to have gynecomastia, the surgeon should be able to provide a portfolio of previous patients who have undergone the procedure, and it must include photos of the improvement for up to a few months after surgery. The final scars should hardly be noticeable, and the chest region should be sculpted proportionately the results should matter, and cost should only be a secondary factor in selecting a surgeon.

Enlargements are often thought to be the most popular form of plastic surgery. In truth, it is the third most popular procedure and covers more option than most people consider at first blush.

The procedure is technically known as augmentation mammaplasty. It involves the placement of an implant into both breasts for the purpose of enlarging and shaping the breasts. The earliest form of this procedure was undertaken in the 1860s in Germany with fatty tissue from the body used to perform the enhancement. As time passed, silicone implants became the implant of choice, leading to one of the most contentious debates in medical science. Ultimately, the silicone implants were banned in 1992 by the Federal Drug Administration. Improved design and further medical research has led to the reintroduction of some silicone implants and the FDA is considering approving further models.

There are several techniques used in enhancements and you should discuss the best option with your plastic physician. Nonetheless, the options are sub-glandular where the implant is placed in the body of the breast, sub-muscular for small chested individuals where the implant is placed below the musculature, and sub-fascial where the implant is placed between the muscle and outer fascial. The specific procedure is dependent upon the pre-existing conditions each person has.

A second issue that you need to keep in mind is the type of incursion technique. Specifically, where will the surgeon create an incursion in the body to put the implants? The axillary approach involves creating an incision in the arm pit and bringing the implant in from the side. Peri-Areolar involves an incision around the lower half of the nipple, in a semi-circle format. The Infra-mammary approach involves an actual incision into the lower flesh area. The incursion technique should be discussed carefully with your surgeon, particularly as it pertains to scarring issues. Incisions result in scars, and even tiny ones have to be taken into account.

The decision to have enlargement surgery necessarily involves a lot of choices. we are here to help you with those choices. Call us for free information on about your next plastic surgery procedure.

Breast enlargement is done by having an implant placed through an incision, under the breast tissue or under the muscle. The incision can be made under the breast, around the nipple or under the arm. A breast implant is composed of an outer silicone shell filled with saline or silicone gel. The outer surface may be smooth or textured, and implants come in various shapes to meet the individual woman’s needs.

When the implant is placed under the actual muscle of the breast, there is a lower chance of contracture–contraction of the tissue surrounding the implant–and mammography is more reliable. There is also less risk of visible or palpable implant edges. The down side is that there are some people who believe the implant has a more natural appearance when placed above the muscle, under the breast tissue.

The shape of augmented breasts depends on the implant. Implants can be round or teardrop-shaped (anatomical). The choice depends on the look the female wants to achieve. Anatomical implants produce a gentle slope, resulting in a fuller upper area, whereas round implants create a round curve in the upper part of the breast. Another factor to consider prior to surgery is breast width, which determines the amount of “cleavage” between breasts and the outer curves.

Realistic expectations are important. Some women often think of breast size in terms of bra cup size. If an“A” size wanted to be a size “C”, then there still has to be adequate existing breast tissue coverage: otherwise there could be visible or palpable implant edges and other possible risks.

This is a major procedure, and someone undergoing breast augmentation absolutely needs someone to drive her home and stay with you for 24 hours after surgery. There will be pain the first few days, but normal pain pills should take care of this as the body adjusts to the new implants. Wear a bra at all times (except when showering) during the first 2 weeks after surgery. Avoid heavy lifting and avoid even moderate exercise for at least the first week, and then only moderate exercise. During recovery, the breasts will be somewhat swollen. Within a few weeks, the actual shape and size will be evident, and the full success of the procedure will come abundantly clear.

Plastic surgery is one of the most talked about topics in the media today. People from all walks of life – from celebrities to soccer moms – are going under the knife to have their faces and bodies modified. If you’re considering having a surgical cosmetic procedure performed, you might be wondering what plastic surgery procedures are available to make yourself look and feel better. Well, the technology of body modifying surgery has been steadily evolving over the last fifty years, and now there are more plastic surgery procedures available than ever.

If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, then check our list of plastic surgeons.

One of the most popular plastic surgery procedures that is performed on a regular basis is liposuction. Liposuction is the process of removing excess fat deposits under the skin by using a vacuum. A small incision is made in the skin of the area that you wish to remove fat from, and then a thin tube called a cannula is inserted. In order to aid the suction, fluid may be pumped under the skin that includes an anesthetic. Another option is to use an ultrasound probe to break up the fat deposits. The liquefied fat is then suctioned through the cannula. Since there is only a small cut made in the skin, recovery is relatively easy, and the procedure usually leaves only tiny scars or no scars at all.

Another plastic surgery that is performed routinely is a rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty comes from the Greek words for “nose” and “to shape” and it is the medical term for a nose job. In rhinoplasty, surgeons reshape the nose by removing and transforming the cartilage in the nose, as well as changing the shape of the skin around the nostrils and smoothing out the tip of the nose. Surgeons can perform these types of plastic surgery procedures with only a small incision at the base of the nose, or some will do a “closed” procedure where there is no incision required. Nose jobs have become commonplace among many different age groups and social groups, and many people elect to have this surgery to correct bumps and crooked appearance of the nose that was either present at birth or caused by an accident.

A third popular procedure is one that most people think of when plastic surgery procedures are mentioned. Breast enhancement surgery is very popular and one of the most performed procedures. Enhancements can be done with saline solution implants or some derivative or silicone. With improvements in technology, however, silicone implants are now available again.

There are many more plastic surgery procedures available for those who wish to modify different parts of their body and face, such as face lifts, tummy tucks, and even buttocks implants. Cosmetic surgeons today specialize in helping to create a new look for patients who have small imperfections or large amounts of correction needed – and the field is still evolving.

One of the most sought after cosmetic procedures performed is that of liposuction. Liposuction is designed to remove excess fat from the body. Often times, specific “problem,” areas are targeted. Common areas on both men and women include the underarms, the thighs, and the abdominal area.

If you are interested in undergoing liposuction, it is important to know that you may not necessarily get to. Quality cosmetic surgeons, namely the ones you will want operating on you, have strict standards and qualifications for candidates. These typically include those of the age of eighteen, those in good health, and those who have the desire to lose weight.

In addition to assisting with weight loss, Plastic Surgery can also be used to help those who have lost a significant amount of weight. If you had a large weight loss, like 100 pounds or more, you may have a lot of excess skin just, literally, hanging around. This may make you feel unattractive and scared to show off your great new body. It is ironic when this happens though, as one of your weight loss goals was to look good. Plastic Surgery, as previously stated, can provide you with assistance. You can receive a full body lift cosmetic procedure, unless you have specific areas you would like targeted. Although there are a number of side effects, including pain and discomfort, you will likely be pleased with the results.

Find a plastic surgeon now >> You can then schedule a consultation appointment for yourself. At this appointment, you will have the procedure explained to you and your surgeon will help you decide if Plastic Surgery is the best option for you.

Before proceeding too far, it is also important to examine the cost. If you are without health insurance, you will have to pay for the full costs of your surgery. Even if you are insured, you may still be responsible for the cost. Most cosmetic procedures, like liposuction and the removal of excess skin, are not always covered. See our plastic surgery financing options. With that said, gastric bypass surgery and other similar procedures are about more than just improving physical appearance, as they can often be a lifesaver.

So, should you get a plastic surgery facelift? Of course, there are a number of factors that you will want to take into consideration when determining so. There are, however, signs that you will want to look for. If these signs, five of which are outlined below, apply to you, a plastic surgery facelift may be in your best interest.

1 – You Are Getting Older

It is no secret that our skin changes as we age. Unfortunately, these changes aren’t always pleasant and attractive. Throughout the course of your life you may have developed small scars on your face. These can be taken care of with plastic surgery. Although there are a number of reasons why you could undergo a plastic surgery facelift, wrinkle treatment is the most common. It is important to remember that just because you are getting older in age; it doesn’t mean that you have to look like it!

2 – You Are Embarrassed

Are you embarrassed by the way that you look? Although every single individual is beautiful in their own way, that may not help to change the way that you feel. Those who undergo plastic surgery facelifts often have the sole goal of improving their appearance. Whether you are depressed with the signs of aging, if your face is saggy-like after a large weight loss, or if you just want a change, a plastic surgery facelift may be an option for you to seriously consider.

3 – You Have Already Examined Your Other Options

As nice as it is to improve your appearance by undergoing a plastic surgery facelift, it is important to know that you do have other options. For example, scars or marks that resemble stretch marks can also be removed with laser surgery, as opposed to actually going under the knife. There are also a large number of over-the-counter products that are designed to help reduce wrinkles and slow down the signs of aging. Although surgery does produce quicker results, especially when compared to over-the-counter products, plastic surgery does cost more money.

4 – You Have Had Bad Reactions to Over-the-Counter Products

As it was previously stated, there are alternatives to plastic surgery facelifts. One of those alternatives is over-the-counter skincare products. There are products that are designed for scars, acne, and wrinkles. Another sign that a surgical facelift may be in your best interest if you have tried a few of these over-the-counter products without success. In fact, have you had bad reactions to these products? Some consumers end up with even more skin problems, namely a bad case of skin irritation.

5 – You Want Results and You Want Them Now

Of course, when you undergo a surgical facelift, it is important to remember that you do need time to recover. Both your body and your skin in particular will need to rest. When that rest and recovery time has ended, you should be able to see immediate results. Laser surgery often takes multiple sessions and over-the-counter skincare products need to be used for months before results are seen. So, if you want to improve the appearance of your face and see results right now, a surgical cosmetic facelift should be examined.

The five above mentioned signs are just a few of the many signs that a plastic surgery facelift may be in your best interest. As a reminder, there are dangers that are associated with surgical facelifts, including pain and discomfort. Even with the possibility of painful side effects, many men and women, just like you, find that the pros outweigh the cons.

Many Texas Liposuction experts contend that while liposuction is obviously not the first option when it comes to reducing fat, sometimes exercise and diet are not enough, and there are some stubborn areas of the body that require more drastic measures.

The Brazilian Butt Lift

If you’re born with no bottom, the Brazilian Butt Lift just may be the cosmetic procedure that you need. The Brazilian Butt Lift is actually a very simple procedure.

Tummy Tuck Surgery Recovery Process & Time

After your tummy tuck in Hillcrest, California, you will rest in a recovery room, or you might even be admitted to a local hospital overnight. Either way, your physician will be monitoring you as you come out of general anesthesia, or the local anesthesia wears off. You will tehn have swelling in the abdominal area, and it will be sore. After that, you will be given antibiotics and painkillers to assist in your tummy tuck recovery process. It is important that you tell about any allergies that you have and any other vitamins, herbs or medications you take so that the medications prescribed for your recovery will be right for you. And as with all antibiotics, it is very important to take the full course of medicine, as prescribed.

Once you are released, most physicians will prescribe two to three days of bed rest. While they may seem like three very long days of resting, it is critical for your tummy tuck recovery that you follow your surgeon’s instructions very closely. If possible, have a friend or family member stay with you for those initial days at home so that they can help you and keep an eye on you as you if complications occur. You will also receive personalized instructions on medication, compression, elevation and rest for your recovery period. Your surgeon might even be able to give you advice on ways to minimize scarring.

After your initial tummy tuck recovery period, you will slowly be able to return to your normal activities. Your level of fitness will ultimately determine how long your tummy tuck recovery takes. For many people, it takes about 6 months for full tummy tuck recovery. After your initial few weeks of recovery, your plastic surgeon in Hillcrest, California will prescribe a diet and exercise routine to follow for optimal tummy tuck recovery. At any time, it is important to call your surgeon’s office if you experience excessive pain, swelling or bleeding. The office will be able to make suggestions, or schedule an appointment if necessary.

After your recovery is complete, scar tissue will continue to fade and your abdomen will have the flat and tight look that you desire. Great results are typically visible about 8 months after the operation, so patience is important.

Tummy Tucks Surgery and Scarring

Tummy tuck scarring is fairly common after having the operation. The traditional tummy tuck procedure commonly involves making a fair cut horizontally across the lower abdomen area from hip to hip. This incision allows cosmetic surgeons to access the underlying abdominal area, where they can remove fat, tighten muscle and get rid of excess skin in the abdomen area. Often times, this procedure can require other areas to be cut and realigned such as the area around the navel or belly button area as well. All of these cuts can, and will, leave scarring to some extent in patients.

Luckily, most successful tummy tuck scarring is usually positioned below the waistline where bathing suit bottoms and underwear cover the scar from view. Some people are still upset by the idea of purposely inflicting a large mark on their body, but it really becomes an issue of weighing them against the excess skin and fat in the area. Additionally, your cosmetic surgeon is not a miricle worker. They are precisely trained to provide you with body enhancements and not large disfigurements. Plastic surgeons will do everything possible to minimize scarring. Realistic results should be expected.

So, should your abandon the idea of undergoing abdominoplasty because of scarring? It is a decision that only you can make, but you must only make the decision when you have all of the facts. In this case, the facts mean sitting down with your plastic surgeon and reviewing pictures of other patients. The surgeon should have before and after pictures of tummy tuck patients. You can view their tummy tuck scarring and ask your plastic surgeon to identify the patient pictures that represent what he or she believe will be closest to yours.

Tummy tuck scarring may appear like a serious matter to many, and they are for some people. The key is to make an informed decision with after viewing before and after pictures. For most people however, the trade off is far better than the undesired buldging belly that will be replaced with those flat abs that can be achieved.
