Breast Augmentation--Female Plastic Surgeon in Atlanta, GA

noreply@blogger.com (LYB42) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:21:00 +0000

The first question in consideration for breast augmentation is if you want to treat ptosis (dropping of the breast) or if you only want to increase the size of your breast. Ptosis can be treated with augmentation alone, if the patient is willing to accept the low position of the nipple‐areolar complex on the breast. However, if the nipple‐areolar complex is to be elevated then a Mastopexy (Breast Lift) will need to be combined with the augmentation.

Your doctor can be an invaluable resource, not only for information about the advantages and purposes of different techniques, but also for what you bring to the "table." You are unique physically as well as personally, and your body's build may mean possibilities or limitations not applicable to others. Your doctor should help you to make the choices that are right for you individually.

When You Select Your Plastic Surgeon

noreply@blogger.com (LYB42) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:02:00 +0000

TV isn't the same animal it was just a few short decades ago. Do you remember the days comedian Jeff Foxworthy describes, when there were only three television channels? When "if the president was on, your night was shot"? The number of stations is not the only growth the tube has seen. The content piped into our homes has expanded to a whole new level. Maybe it has more to do with where and when I was raised than I give it credit for, but what I recall of plastic surgery in the '80s had more to do with tut-tutting the latest changes to Michael Jackson's appearance than any amount of coverage on TV. Today we have a Plastic Surgery Channel. In the '90s there was controversy over breast implants and whether silicone leakage spelled Armageddon. Today, the proudly-augmented get put on Oprah (and shows like it) where we learn that we, too, may have immortality surgically bestowed upon us.

Reality and television never have had much in common, least of all on "reality shows." In my experience, reality usually falls somewhere in the bland middle-ground between the drama and excitement that producers see fit to broadcast. It's true that there have been exciting advances in surgical science, with greater promise just over the horizon. No matter how informative or even unbiased a media article (or blog post) may be, however, it can't contain the whole story because surgery, whatever its purpose or practitioner, is a risky enterprise. It is as dependent on physiology as it is on science. The only way to get the whole story as it applies to you is by putting yourself in a room with a surgeon who can match up where you are with where you want to go. You can help: bring along a list of specific questions to ask of your doctor. Be prepared to listen and honestly consider his recommendations, especially those you might not anticipate. Remember that doctors are people, and if you consult with more than one, you might hear more than one recommendation. And don't let your heart be too set upon a particular procedure. As Michigan plastic surgeon, Dr. John Sampson, M.D., explains, "If you ask enough doctors to perform a cosmetic procedure that may be detrimental to you, eventually you will find one who will do it."

Body Contouring Procedure in Utah

noreply@blogger.com (LYB42) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:40:00 +0000

Liposuction is a cosmetic, body contouring procedure available here in Utah at Dr. Berg's cosmetic plastic surgery practice. This procedure is designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from various areas of the body including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. Certain individuals possess stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to traditional weight-loss methods such as dieting and exercise. However liposuction is not a substitute for dieting and exercise, but it is designed to sculpt the body into a more aesthetically pleasing contour. This cosmetic surgery procedure offers a solution to individuals that are around their normal weight but still have pockets of excess fat in certain areas, making these areas look disproportionate.

Breast Augmentation Should Not Affect Normal Breast Function

noreply@blogger.com (JM) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 20:38:00 +0000

It is important that you understand that no person is perfectly symmetrical from one side to the other even before a surgical procedure. Every attempt will be made during surgery to minimize your side to side dissimilarities, but such differences always persist to some degree even after the most successful operation.

There is no evidence that breast surgery alters the possibility of developing breast cancer. Mammography techniques have improved in recent years. In spite of these advances, there is a theoretical risk of compromised detection of early breast cancer following an augmentation mammoplasty. If a cancer were to develop, its detection by mammography could be made more difficult, depending on the location of the cancer within the breast, the position and size of the implant and the type of implant employed. Regardless of your decision to have an augmentation mammoplasty or not, it will still be necessary for you to examine yourself monthly for breast lumps and undergo mammography as suggested by your personal physician.

Augmentation mammoplasty is done on an outpatient basis in a surgical center, usually under sedation or general anesthesia. An implant (prosthesis) is 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.

Lose The Extra Fat With A Tummy Tuck

noreply@blogger.com (JM) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 18:23:00 +0000

A Tummy Tuck Abdominoplasty is an operation in which the loose skin and fat of the abdominal wall, particularly around the navel, is removed by elevation of the skin and fat, pulling it inferiorly and excising the excess. It is particularly effective in removing stretch marks from the lower abdomen, but it must be understood that not all stretch marks can be eliminated. The navel is reinserted into the skin after the tightening procedure.

Frequently, particularly after childbirth or weight loss, patients present with a weakness of the abdominal wall muscles and fascia; in such cases, the defect between the anterior muscles is repaired before trimming the excess skin and fat.

This procedure is frequently combined with other abdominal surgery; for example, the abdominoplasty may be performed at the same time that your gynecologist performs a hysterectomy or other procedure.

For more information about this procedure, contact the office of Dr. Gerlach, a board certified plastic surgeon in Torrance, California.

Face Lift Surgery in Los Angeles

noreply@blogger.com (JM) — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:24:00 +0000

Face lift procedures are among the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures at Dr. Gerlach's office. Most people feel physically and mentally vigorous and energetic long after their appearance has begun to deteriorate due to aging. A face lift procedure is designed to provide you with a rejuvenated appearance. The degree of improvement achieved depends on the severity of the initial deformity and the age of the patient.

A face lift surgery may be beneficial whenever you have too much sagging of the facial or neck skin. In a younger patient with minimal sagging, the degree of improvement will be subtle, but frequently the result is extremely satisfying to the patient caring about personal appearance.

If you are interested in having a face lift or would like more information about this procedure, contact the office of Dr. Todd Gerlach, a board certified plastic surgeon in Torrance, CA. Dr. Gerlach specializes in all aspects of plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery including breast augmentation, facelift and rhinoplasty in Torrance.

Facelift Surgery in Manhattan

noreply@blogger.com (JM) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:14:00 +0000

A face lift surgery is an operation designed to counteract the effects of aging and gravity. The skin starts losing its elasticity and begins to sag as early as the mid-thirties in many people, continuing to sag and lose elasticity as the aging process continues. The effects of gravity, sun exposure and stress all contribute to this problem. Creases form in the forehead and mid-face region, smile lines deepen and jowls become more prominent. The skin around the neck sags and fat may deposit in the neck and beneath the chin.

A facelift in essence, pushes back the clock, improving the most prominent signs of aging by removing excess skin, tightening muscles below the skin. Fat is removed if necessary. A facelift can be done alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as eyelid surgery, nasal surgery, forehead lift or even liposuction. A facelift can make you look younger and fresher. A face lift also enhances your self confidence. Patients should have reasonable expectations prior to undergoing a facelift and realize that while they will look younger, fresher and more rested, the clock can't be turned back indefinitely. A facelift does not stop the aging process.

For more information about having a face lift or any other plastic surgery procedure, contact the office of Dr. Tornambe, a Manhattan plastic surgeon who specializes in all aspects of plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

Rhinoplasty Specialist in San Diego, California

noreply@blogger.com (LYB42) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:59:00 +0000

Rhinoplasty San Diego - The names primary rhinoplasty and secondary rhinoplasty might sound a little bit like someone's got multiple noses, and given enough logical contortion, could imply a two-faced patient. In reality, of course, the meaning is nothing like that -- primary rhinoplasty is simply a patient's initial nose surgery, and secondary rhinoplasty is any nose surgery performed subsequently on that patient.

As San Diego plastic surgeon, Dr. Amir Karam, explains; "The first operation offers the best opportunity to obtain an excellent and predictable outcome. Seeking out a rhinoplasty specialist for this first operation significantly increases the chances of obtaining an excellent rhinoplasty result and decreases your chances of a revision." Nose surgery is particularly demanding, and a surgeon who is skilled in the appropriately specialized techniques can mean the difference between getting your surgery right and getting secondary rhinoplasty.

Manhattan Plastic Surgery - Breast Reduction Procedure

noreply@blogger.com (JM) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:13:00 +0000

Breast reduction, in contrast to breast lift surgery, is usually performed for relief of medical/physical problems which are caused by the excessively heavy breasts. Neck and back pain, skin rashes and breathing problems are frequent medical problems associated with have large breasts. Many women also feel an extremely self consciousness to the unusually large size of their breasts.

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is designed to alleviate these problems. Breast reduction involves the removal of skin, fat and breast tissue from the breasts creating a smaller, lighter and firmer structure. If the size of the areola is also excessive, this may be corrected during breast reduction surgery.

Selecting Your Plastic Surgeon in Carson City

noreply@blogger.com (LYB42) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:42:00 +0000

Many of the numerous reasons to consider cosmetic surgery begin with a dissatisfaction with one or more parts of the body, but not all. Breast enlargement is one of the most popular procedures in the United States, and has proven a boon to the confidence of thousands of women, but would obviously be of no use to a someone with excessively large breasts (and the neck, back, and shoulder pain they can cause). It's a little less evident, however, whether a woman seeking to regain breast size lost to time, child bearing, or whatever would get better results from a breast lift. Face lift surgery can help you look years younger, but a procedure such as an eyelid lift might provide similar results. And though by no means a method for weight loss, liposuction is useful for targeting specific exercise-resistant fat deposits.

These and other issues are often best addressed by consulting with the right doctor. Nevada plastic surgeon Kent Gabriel is guided by a "therapeutic alliance" with his patients. His highly informative pre-operative consultations are designed to help you make the safest and best decision possible, and that commitment is seen is his surgical techniques and on-going post-operative care as well. If you've been thinking about breast reduction, perhaps you should consider your breast reduction in Carson City, NV.

There Are Many Reasons to Have Breast Reduction Surgery

noreply@blogger.com (JM) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 20:45:00 +0000

Breast reduction in Los Angeles serves various purposes for different people. Enlarged, pendulous breasts cause a variety of problems. The medical term for this problem is mammary hyperplasia. The weight of the breasts pulls down on the bra straps which in turn produces indentation of the shoulder skin and discomfort. Along with shoulder and back pain, the surface under the breast may rub against the chest skin producing an irritating rash. Some women even experience difficulty with breathing because of enlarged breasts. Upon the removal of glandular tissue, fat and skin, a lighter, more attractive breast can be created. The lessened pressure on the chest alleviates overall discomfort and improves respiration.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The operation takes about three to four hours to perform. Sutures are removed within one week. Depending upon the size of the breasts, we perform the surgery either at one of our associated hospitals or at The Keyes Surgicenter. Those patients who choose the surgicenter are then transferred to an aftercare facility for one night.

For more information about breast reduction, contact the office of Dr. Geoffrey Keyes, a board certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles who specializes in all aspects of plastic surgery.

Breast Enhancement Surgery with Implants

dave@lookingyourbest.com (Dave Stringham) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 18:00:00 +0000

Many women feel that their breasts do not match their overall body physique. Small breast size may be due to a lack of normal breast development or to a decrease of breast volume following pregnancy or menopause. This procedure is designed to give the female patient a fuller breast.

Your breast tissue is not altered by a breast enlarging procedure. This operation is performed by placing an implant behind your own breast tissue, simply pushing it forward and enlarging the appearance of the breast. Most patients have been exceedingly pleased with this operative procedure.

The increase in breast size will be limited by the tightness of your skin, but significant improvement can usually be achieved. The final decision regarding implant size must be made by the surgeon during the operation, but size will be discussed with you before the procedure and every effort will be made to create an optimal breast for you.

It is important that you understand that no person is perfectly symmetrical from one side to the other even before a surgical procedure. Every attempt will be made during surgery to minimize your side to side dissimilarities, but such differences always persist to some degree even after the most successful operation.

There is no evidence that breast surgery alters the possibility of developing breast cancer. Mammography techniques have improved in recent years. In spite of these advances, there is a theoretical risk of compromised detection of early breast cancer following an augmentation mammoplasty. If a cancer were to develop, its detection by mammography could be made more difficult, depending on the location of the cancer within the breast, the position and size of the implant and the type of implant employed. Regardless of your decision to have an augmentation mammoplasty or not, it will still be necessary for you to examine yourself monthly for breast lumps and undergo mammography as suggested by your personal physician.

All women, whether or not they are contemplating breast augmentation, are encouraged to obtain a baseline mammogram at age 35 (or even sooner if you have a family history of breast cancer) and a yearly mammogram after the age of 40.

Normal breast function should not be altered by an augmentation procedure in which the incision is placed within the axilla and the implant positioned behind the pectoral muscle. Although not all women are able to breast feed even without a breast operation, this procedure should not alter the ability to breast feed should this become desirable later. One cannot, however, rule out possible effects on future pregnancy and nursing, particularly when incisions are placed around the areolae ("nipple incision"). - Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Torrance CA

Rhinoplasty Recovery Information

dave@lookingyourbest.com (Dave Stringham) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 20:17:00 +0000

After the rhinoplasty surgery, a registered nurse monitors the patient closely in the recovery room until he or she is fully awake. After the patient is ready to be discharged by your plastic surgeon, a friend or relative shall escort the patient home and stay with him or her for that same night. The patient will follow specific postoperative instructions as written and discussed with the attending nurse. Although the patient may have some facial swelling and bruising during the first few days, there is minimal discomfort during the postoperative period

In the weeks, or sometimes months, following surgery, the patient may still experience some subtle swelling, especially in the tip. The final results of rhinoplasty may take up to one year or more to be completely apparent.

Detroit Cosmetic Surgeon, Breast Reconstruction

noreply@blogger.com (LYB42) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:56:00 +0000

Detroit breast reconstruction - The American Cancer Society released an estimate that over 190,000 women would be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 in the United States, and that roughly 40,000 would die of the disease. Women faced with mastectomy, or surgical removal of a breast, as a treatment to prevent tumors from spreading and ending their lives are also presented with a whole host of additional potential woes, physical and emotional, over and above the cancer. The trauma of losing a body part is only part of the story, and can obscure those little unexpected details of daily living that remind her of her loss.

It would be the embodiment of understatement to say that the choice to have breast reconstruction is a highly personal one. Though the list of possible complications can be daunting, the rewards can be significant; not only for the self image, but the quality of life in general for those who choose to undergo the procedure. Detroit plastic surgeon, Dr. Mohamad H. Bazzi, makes breast surgery part of his efforts to "seek a balance between your inner self and a corresponding outward reflection."

Breast Reduction for Men - Los Angeles

noreply@blogger.com (LYB42) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:43:00 +0000

Los Angeles breast reduction isn't just about relieving back and neck pain for women with disproportionately large breasts. Although doctors like Los Angeles plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Teitelbaum, do offer these women relief from some of the ill effects of being a bit too voluptuous, there is also breast reduction for men.

Gynecomastia, which Mirriam-Webster Online defines as "excessive development of the breast in the male," is actually quite common. Statistically, a man has a better chance of developing gynecomastia than avoiding it. Frequently it resolves itself, but not always. These "man-boobs" don't have to be permanent. Just as Dr. Teitelbaum helps women with excessive breast tissue, men can also be treated for their gynecomastia. Male plastic surgery doesn't have to be confined to moobs, either. While you consider Dr. Teitelbaum as your gynecomastia surgeon, you might benefit from other procedures as well.

Eyelid Lift Procedure in Palm Desert, CA

noreply@blogger.com (LYB42) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 18:59:00 +0000

Perception of self doesn't always agree with reality, and the effects of this perception gap can be anywhere from hilarious to heart-breaking, depending on gap size and observation vantage. Then again, others' perception of us can be just as skewed by tiny things brought about naturally over time. You may not feel the onset of wrinkles and sagging skin, but that doesn't mean that finding oneself in possession of them is any fun, especially around the eyes. The eyes, after all, are a focal point for your face; windows to the soul; pools of expression. What's one to do when that expression is "old and tired"?

Dr. Habash is a cosmetic surgeon in Palm Desert, CA, whose practice includes making his patients look more attractive. An Eyelid lift is a small surgery that can have big results. By addressing puffiness and loose, saggy excess skin even just around the eyes, the whole face can look better. Furthermore, since an eyelid can obscure vision if it droops far enough, an eyelid surgery in Palm Desert can improve more just just your looks.

Los Angeles, CA - Breast Augmentation

noreply@blogger.com (LYB42) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:11:00 +0000

A little time perusing the history of prosthetics yields regular indication that Ambroise Paré is the father of medical amputation, and so influential in the field of prosthetics. Examples of "earliest known" prosthetics are cited, and one finds commentary on how little materials or technique have changed over the years. As with so much of human knowledge, however, prosthetics really took off over the last century. Plastics, fiberglass, and other space-age materials have replaced iron, wood, and leather. What's that got to do with breast implants in Los Angeles, you ask?

A prosthesis is an artificial device used to replace a body part or to make a body part work better. Arms and legs get a lot of attention, especially in pirate movies, but the term also applies to a much broader range of hardware. Ears, eyes, fingers, teeth, and even eyeglasses qualify, as do devices placed inside the body surgically.

Like their external counterparts, the prosthetics implanted by Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Marc Mani are matched specifically to the individual patient. Breast implants are surgically placed through incisions made either around the areola, under the arm, or along the fold below the breast. Since breast implants are not technically life-sustaining, the surgery is elective and not generally covered by insurance. The decision to have breast implant surgery, then, is that much more personal. The benefits of breast implants may be less easily defined than those of an artificial limb, but are no less real.

Liposuction in La Jolla

noreply@blogger.com (LYB42) — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 19:10:00 +0000

Self improvement takes many forms, from choosing a sensible salad instead of that mega-burger to turning off the video game and cracking open a tome of Tolstoy. Taking time for physical activity not only improves your health, but improved health improves the way you feel generally. Maybe that's why we seek to improve ourselves; it does make us feel better. What about the things we can't change about ourselves, however? Some fat deposits stubbornly refuse to vacate their chosen dwelling no matter how well you eat or how much you exercise. Sometimes, even after you've rid yourself of the fat, the skin remains. That is where La Jolla cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Robert Kearney, comes in. Dr. Kearney's San Diego liposuction patients are surgically divested of those obstinate fat deposits, and abdominoplasty can be an effective way to flatten a belly that doesn't respond to diet and exercise.

Santa Monica, CA, Abdominoplasty

noreply@blogger.com (LYB42) — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:10:00 +0000

When should you undergo a tummy tuck? First and foremost, only a qualified surgeon can definitively answer that question for any given patient. There are some generally applicable details, however, that are useful to know about tummy tucks (also called abdominoplasty).

First, abdominoplasty is not a means of weight loss. It can be useful once the weight is lost, but the best abdominoplasty candidates are already in relatively good shape and just have a fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that does not respond to diet and exercise. The abdominal wall muscles are tightened during a tummy tuck, making the procedure particularly advantageous to women who, through pregnancy, have stretched their bodies beyond its ability to fully recover. This also makes abdominoplasty one of the most "uncomfortable" procedures, usually requiring a hospital stay during recovery. The extent of scarring depends on how extensive the procedure is. Incisions are made in inconspicuous real estate, but it's safe to assume that if someone cuts your belly open, there will be scarring.

Generally an elective procedure, abdominoplasty shares at least thing in common with all surgery; there is the risk of complication. A frank conversation with your plastic surgeon is an important step toward understanding what you face. Recognized as one of the top aesthetic surgeons in the U.S., Dr. Steven Teitelbaum provides Santa Monica abdominoplasty patients comprehensive care.

Breast Reduction Surgery for Men - Los Angeles

Chalk up another plus for the internet. Along with free encyclopedias and easily accessible maps, it is now possible to research privately those topics which one might not want to have noised about that one is investigating. Now, lest anyone get ideas about certain explicit topics, the value of which is dubious at best, I am referring specifically to medical conditions and deformities. For example, despite the fact that the statistical majority of men will develop gynecomastia, men with the condition can feel self conscious and isolated. Well known for Los Angeles breast surgery, Dr. Steven Teitelbaum states, "In the past, gynecomastia surgery was mostly done on teenage boys sent to plastic surgeons by their pediatrician. Weightlifters that developed gynecomastia from steroid or supplement use learned about surgical options from reading muscle magazines or from trainers at the gym." Dr. Teitelbam saw a need for an easy, private, reputable resource where men could find gynecomastia treatment information, which led to creating a web site just to address men's concerns and questions about gynecomastia.
