If you’ve previously undergone breast implant surgery, breast implant exchange is a procedure to accommodate your ongoing goals. As life goes on, priorities and preferences can shift, leading you to desire different breast implants. While every breast implant exchange is customized to the patient’s needs, there are several common reasons why someone would want to undergo this procedure. These reasons include:

Wanting a Different Breast Size or Shape

At the time of your initial breast augmentation procedure, your cosmetic preferences may have been different from what they are now. Breast implant exchange gives you the opportunity to change the appearance of the breasts so that they accommodate your current desires. Some women want a smaller breast implant size as they get older, providing a more elegant and understated look. Other women learn that the initial implants weren’t sufficient to achieve their desired look and undergo breast implant exchange to further enhance the size of their breasts.  Read More →

As people age, the skin tissue loses volume and elasticity due to reduced levels of collagen. The vaginal tissue is no different. With the aging process, women experience a loss in the strength and structure of the vaginal tissue.

For women experiencing looseness in the vaginal tissue, particularly around the vaginal opening, vaginal rejuvenation is worth consideration. This cosmetic procedure restores the strength and tightness of the vaginal tissue, providing numerous benefits to patients. The main benefits of vaginal rejuvenation include: Read More →

Breast implants are popular among women to enhance the appearance of the breasts. While breast implants are long-lasting and should withstand 10 years at a minimum, they will eventually need to be replaced. It’s important to know when your implants need a replacement for both cosmetic and medical reasons. 

Reasons for Breast Implant Replacement

There are many reasons why patients may have their implants replaced. Sometimes, patients undergo implant replacement because they want to alter the size or shape of their breasts. However, implants may also need to be replaced to ensure the safety of the patient. Implant rupture and hardening are complications of breast implants that would create the need for a replacement. 

The facelift, which is also called rhytidectomy, is a longstanding plastic surgery procedure. Effective and reliable, a facelift will give you a more youthful appearance by reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and sagging skin. 

If you’re thinking about getting a facelift, timing is an important factor to consider. While a facelift will reverse current signs of aging, it won’t prevent future skin aging, so it’s important to time your facelift for the maximum benefit.

The Right Age To Get a Facelift

For most, the right age to get a facelift is in the 40s, 50s, or 60s. At this point, signs of aging typically become visible and start to diminish people’s youthful appearance. At this point, the facelift procedure can take years off of the face, visibly rejuvenating it.

Facelift surgery is a reliable, long lasting cosmetic procedure that can help you achieve a more youthful appearance. Time-tested and effective for sagging skin, deep wrinkles, double chins, and more, many patients opt to undergo a facelift for a rejuvenated look. 

Given that a facelift is a surgical procedure, recovery time is one of the main concerns among patients. While the recovery period will have small variations depending on the individual, we can offer insights based on what most patients experience. 

Here, we’ll discuss what you can expect from the healing process after a facelift. 

Breast augmentation, which is often called a “boob job,” is the most prevalent cosmetic breast surgery around today. With this plastic surgery procedure, women can achieve larger, more youthful-looking breasts. 

If you’re considering breast augmentation, you may have also encountered the option to have a breast lift during the procedure. Combining a breast lift with breast augmentation has helped many women achieve perkier, beautiful breasts to match their cosmetic goals, but is this option right for you? Keep reading to learn more about a breast lift with breast augmentation. 

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic treatment for getting rid of stubborn, unwanted fat. By targeting areas of fat that won’t go away even with diet and exercise, liposuction can help you attain a more toned, contoured physique. 

Body-Jet is a safe, advanced method of liposuction available to patients today. This procedure uses a gentle jet of water to precisely dislodge and eliminate fat from the treatment area. In comparison to other methods of liposuction, Body-Jet involves a shorter recovery period with less discomfort, but what exactly can you expect after Body-Jet liposuction? Let’s find out. 

The natural aging process takes a toll on the breasts, leading to drooping and a loss of firmness. If you’re interested in improving the youthful appearance of your breasts, a breast lift could be an excellent solution for you. Here, we’ll cover the basics of the breast lift procedure and how it can restore fullness and perkiness in the breasts. 

What Is a Breast Lift?

Also called mastopexy, a breast lift is a surgical procedure that’s designed to lift the breasts for a more youthful, flattering appearance. Rather than changing the size of the breasts, which is done in breast augmentation or breast reduction surgery, the breast lift procedure repositions the breasts for a rejuvenated appearance. 

If you’re looking to reduce visible signs of aging, a facelift could be the solution for you. Also called rhytidectomy, the facelift procedure is a tried and true cosmetic option for facial rejuvenation. It involves removing excess skin and fat in the face, tightening or loosening the underlying muscles, and lifting the remaining tissues. This creates a brighter, younger-looking appearance. 

Before you get a facelift, it’s important to be informed. Make sure to ask the following questions during your consultation to ensure the best possible results. 

Breast implant removal is a procedure in which breast implants from a previous breast augmentation procedure are removed. There are a handful of reasons, both cosmetic and medical, why patients may want implants removed. Here, we’ll discuss these reasons to help you determine if you should consider a breast implant removal. 

Dissatisfaction with Current Implant Size

The most common reason why women undergo breast implant removal is dissatisfaction with the size of their current implants. Cosmetic preferences change over time. So to achieve the aesthetic that they want, women may need to undergo breast implant removal. This way,  smaller or larger replacement implants can be used. Breast implant removal surgery can allow patients to achieve their changing cosmetic goals.

The consultation with your plastic surgeon is the first step in receiving breast reduction surgery. This consultation is crucial to get to know your doctor, better understand the procedure, and inform your doctor about your goals for the procedure. To ensure that you feel prepared for your breast reduction procedure, make sure to discuss the following points:

Your Desired Results from Breast Reduction

Women often have different cosmetic goals, and breast reduction surgery should be tailored to their personal preferences. During the consultation, you’ll talk about why you want breast reduction surgery and your desired outcome from the surgery. This is an important step to ensure that you’re happy with the results of breast reduction surgery. 

The cosmetic and plastic surgery fields are rapidly evolving. Now, 20 years into the new millennium, we have cutting-edge research and technology at our disposal to perform cosmetic surgical procedures for more natural-looking and longer-lasting results than ever before. 

Let’s take a walk down memory lane to learn more about how cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery have changed in the last two decades. The astonishing advancements that have been made in these fields make it a better time than ever before to invest in your cosmetic goals. 

For any surgical procedure, elective or otherwise, it is important to know exactly what to expect before, during and after the procedure. Liposuction is an outpatient operation that has little downtime and a short recovery period, but that doesn’t mean you can be lax about learning health and recovery instructions. Here is what you need to make sure you ask your surgeon before getting liposuction.

How much fat can be removed from my target areas?

How much fat can be removed and how much of a difference it will make in appearance after recovery depends on the target area and health factors. Make sure that you have reasonable expectations. Ask for a computer generated model of what you can expect your results to look like.

Is it time to say goodbye to your implants? There are a lot of reasons you might want to have your breast implants removed. First, they only last for so long, and you need to be proactive about having them removed before they become a problem. But even if you haven’t had your implants as long as you could have, there are some good reasons to have them removed.

That doesn’t make it easy to talk to a plastic surgeon about removing implants. It seems to be the opposite of what they do, right? But in reality, depending on why you want the implants removed and your ultimate aesthetic goals, we should be able to handle your breast implant removal or revision successfully.

When you start hearing a lot about breast revision surgeries, it can really put you off on your decision to get breast implants. But in reality, breast revision surgery has always been common, and not because implants are unsafe. Here is why breast revision is trending now, and why it can be necessary.

What is breast revision anyway?

Breast revision surgery usually refers to breast implants being removed or replaced. Sometimes these surgeries are done due to complications from breast augmentation, but much more frequently they are done simply because a change is needed or wanted in the size and shape of the implants.

Do you exercise regularly? Even if you don’t at this point, you should talk to your plastic surgeon about your exercise habits and needs throughout the process. Your plastic surgery consultation will take place at least a few months ahead of your scheduled procedure so that you have a chance to prepare your body for a successful surgery and recovery. Here are some things you need to think about when talking to your plastic surgeon about exercise. 

Exercise habits should be put in place now.

Exercising for at least a few months prior to your surgery will improve your results and shorten your recovery period. Most plastic surgery procedures cause some repair of the muscles to be required. If you build up those muscles before the surgery, it will make the healing process faster. 

It takes a lot of consideration to decide on plastic surgery. While a tummy tuck might seem like a drastic measure, it is sometimes required to get the results you are wanting. On the other hand, liposuction is a much less invasive procedure and could be appropriate for your desired contouring. Here’s how to choose which one is right for you.

What problem do you have with your tummy?

If your tummy has excess skin due to significant weight loss, liposuction isn’t going to give you the results you are seeking. Liposuction only removes excess fat, not skin. If you just have some stubborn fat and you are confident that the skin will tone and shrink back on its own, liposuction is the better choice.
