Are Breast Enlargement Results the Same?
June 18th, 2015
Are all breast enlargement surgery results the same? I frequently get this question in my office. The short answer is no. Each plastic surgeon has a particular aesthetic or individual style for how they do surgery, resulting in a specific “look” after surgery. My practice has been built on the natural appearance that I strive to give to my patients. While this is not every patient’s desire, the majority of my practice finds a natural result to be important. An effective way to evaluate a surgeon’s results is to look at Before/After photos.
According The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Breast Augmentation surgery, commonly referred to as breast enlargement or “boob job” remains #1 in the Top 5 ranking for the most requested cosmetic procedures for last year. More than 286,200 women chose to have this surgery. These statistics are consistent with my practice. It’s important to note that there are several choices for breast enlargement including silicone or saline implants and using the new technique of Lipo-Fat Grafting. I recommend that patients should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to understand all available options when considering a breast enlargement.
Tummy Tuck Bonus: Fat Grafting
June 11th, 2015
Fat Grafting has been called a dream come true. Who hasn’t heard someone say they wish that they could suck fat from one area and reposition it someplace else. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty surgery routinely includes liposuction of excess fat in the abdomen. A new technique allows plastic surgeons to gently remove this fat and prepare it to be injected in other areas. Lipo fat grafting is an effective technique to enhance breast shape/size or to use as a natural filler for lip wrinkles and natural facial rejuvenation, replacing the use of artificial dermal fillers in anti-aging injections. Other common areas for carefully harvesting excess fat during liposuction or liposculpture are the thighs, flanks and hips. This procedure is one of the most exciting cosmetic surgery developments that I’ve seen during my more than 30 years in practice.
