Mommy Makeover: Breast Restoration
December 18th, 2013
Filming continues in our office this week for another upcoming Mommy Makeover segment for Twin Cities Live on KSTP TV. We are following a patient having breast restoration surgery.
Most of the women that come to me for consultations about breast surgery following pregnancy complain that their breast size or shape has changed. Physical changes may occur to the breasts after pregnancy even in the absence of breast-feeding. Breast restoration surgery addresses these changes.
Patients often report that there is reduced fullness on the top of their breasts, just above the nipple, along with a general change in breast size. The decreased fullness may be interpreted as sagging or a loss of “perkiness.” The most common concern that I hear is the complaint of overall diminished breast size after pregnancy. Women sometimes choose breast restoration surgery as part of a Mommy Makeover, which may also include a tummy tuck.
Augmentation mammoplasty or breast enlargement surgery is the primary procedure that is used to restore breasts to the size they were before pregnancy. According to the The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), about 312,000 breast enlargement surgeries were performed last year, making it the number one requested cosmetic surgery. However, there are no specific statistics on how many women chose breast surgery as part of a “Mommy Makeover.â€
Stay tuned to follow our patient’s recovery, when we reveal the final result on TCL scheduled later this winter. Date and time to follow.
No Implant Breast Enlargement
November 20th, 2013
Nipntuck Naturalâ„¢ is a revolutionary new way of thinking about plastic surgery. I am pleased to offer patients the option to choose new no implant breast enlargement surgery, as debuted on the KQRS Morning Show broadcast in Las Vegas, last year and I talked about it on stage this year. As Brad Blanks mentioned “Booty to Boob” is real and fat from one area can be used to sculpt fuller breasts without using implants.
Regenerative medicine features this specialized fat grafting procedure. Typical donor sites for fat cells include areas of the abdomen or flanks. Fat grafts naturally contain a population of adipose specialized cells. The regenerative properties of these cells are particularly effective for the new procedures, because the fat cells become a natural living part of the tissues wherever it is placed.
This revolutionary technique is not limited to cosmetic breast surgery. These special properties are beneficial for many types of anti-aging procedures, such as facial rejuvenation. Fat grafting is an outpatient, clinic-based procedure and the quick recovery is changing many aspects of cosmetic plastic surgery today. I find that my patients appreciate having another option when it comes to breast enlargement. Nipntuck Naturalâ„¢ is effective in using this new natural technique to offer fuller breasts, without the worry of having implants.
