Another Happy Patient: Breast Enlargement

I am not the type of person who would generally consider this type of procedure but it has crossed my mind again and again for many years. With a size A cup, I was bound to have some confidence issues in a bathing suit and certain styles of clothes. I even visited another plastic surgeon a few years back but the thought of going through with the procedure quickly fizzled out after meeting with him – I wasn’t comfortable. A friend suggested that I give Dr. Bashioum a try when I brought up my insecurities with her (she had a breast augmentation with him previously and was very pleased). I took her advice and gave it a try. I had the consultation within two weeks and booked my surgery during my visit. I have had 5 months with my new body and the confidence I have now speaks volumes.
The procedure itself was done before I knew it and recovery was a breeze. Dr. Bashioum even called me the very next day to check in. To say the least, I would do it again if I had to and many more times after that!
Steps in Cosmetic Surgery: Closure
September 17th, 2012
13.8 million cosmetic plastic surgery procedures were performed in the United States in 2011, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). There are four universal steps to follow for all cosmetic procedure involving surgery. As I have previously discussed so far, step one is incision, followed by dissection and sculpting. This brings us to discussion of the final step, which is wound closure.
In elective cosmetic surgery cases, taking extra time to do an aesthetic closure is possible. The first phase in wound closure is suturing (sewing) the skin and deeper tissues back together, also known as tissue approximation. How well this is done will determine the physical appearance of the scar.
