Tummy Tuck In Michigan

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Although the results of a tummy tuck are technically permanent, the positive outcome can be greatly diminished by significant fluctuations in your weight. For this reason, individuals who are planning substantial weight loss or women who may be considering future pregnancies may be advised to postpone a tummy tuck. Also, a tummy tuck cannot correct stretch marks, although these may be removed or somewhat improved if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised, generally those treated areas below the belly button.

The success and safety of your tummy tuck procedure depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. You’ll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle. The decision to have tummy tuck surgery is extremely personal and you’ll have to decide if the benefits will achieve your goals and if the risks and potential complications are acceptable.

Your plastic surgeon and/or staff will explain in detail the risks associated with surgery. You will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure that you fully understand the procedure you will undergo and any risks or potential complications. If your abdominoplasty is performed on an outpatient basis, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.
When choosing a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck, remember that the
surgeon’s experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.

What About Liposuction?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

What about liposuction? Is it still a viable option for someone who wants to rid himself or herself of unwanted weight? A good candidate for liposuction is someone who is in fairly good shape, relatively close to his or her ideal weight, but wants to trim down localized areas. The person should be physically healthy, psychologically stable with realistic expectations.

The fat will not re-accumulate in these areas in the same manner as before and leaves small, if any, scars. Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon Dr Boris Ackerman states” I perform hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. I have many patients who come to me after they have given birth and request liposuction. Even though they have returned to their previous weight, many of these women have some resistant areas as a result of the pregnancy.”

Facelift Surgery Can Correct Sagging Facial Skin

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

As we grow older, our individual genetic history, exposure / over exposure to the elements such as the sun and wind, and other factors such as the use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs can actually alter our skin, thereby causing a loss of skin tone and elasticity as well as assisting in the development of wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin around the neck, mouth, eyes and forehead. Folds in the skin become prominent around areas of the face such as the chin, and neck. Face lift surgery can correct these conditions by a plastic surgeon tightening the facial muscles and ‘lifting’ the facial skin.

Reverse the Appearance of Aging with a Facial Rejuvenation Procedure

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

A brow lift, also called a forehead lift or eyebrow lift, corrects the skin wrinkling and loss of tone that causes sagging of eyebrows and hooding of upper eyelids. A brow lift softens the deep creases across the forehead, reduces horizontal frown lines at the top of your nose and vertical lines between your brows. The result is a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. It is the only procedure that can increase the distance from the lateral brow to the upper eyelashes.

A brow lift is often performed along with a face lift or other facial rejuvenation procedures. Some people have brow lifts to correct aging problems, while others have inherited traits that cause them to seek treatment in their 20s or 30s. You may be a good candidate for a brow lift if you have any of the following types of conditions:

  • If you have drooping lateral brows that are close to or below your orbital bony rim
  • If you feel you always look angry or scowling
  • If you like your appearance and your brows and eyelids when you pull up your forehead with your fingers at your hairline above your lateral brows
  • If you desire the ideal benefits of facial rejuvenation and you are already considering a face and neck lift

For more information about the Brow Lift procedure, contact Dr. Pearl, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Mountain View, California.

Facial Paralysis Is A Treatable Condition

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

The facial muscles that control facial expression are subcutaneous, or just under the skin. These facial muscles (also called mimetic muscles) are innervated or ’supplied’ by the facial nerve. The loss of facial innervation often results in a partial loss of facial control, or facial paralysis (the inability to smile or move the face). This condition can be congenital, as some are born with this problem) or the result of a surgical procedure such as tumor removal, loss of innervation due to facial trauma, or as a result of a viral infections, such as Bells Palsy.

There are plastic surgeons that have a special interest in treating patients with this condition. Several possible treatment options exist. These options include nerve grafting techniques and micro-vascular muscle transfer procedures.

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

These days, with the huge transportation network the different countries of our world share, most anyone has the ability to travel for plastic surgery.

Why Women Should Choose Female Plastic Surgeons

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Deciding to have plastic surgery is a personal decision that nobody should make other than the potential patient. When a woman has made the decision to go under surgery in order to improve something about herself, her next decision will be to choose a plastic surgeon that she is comfortable with.

One decision that a woman will need to make when choosing a plastic surgeon will be rather to choose a male or female doctor. Deciding to choose a female doctor will offer the patient the “woman’s touch”, something that a man cannot offer.

Why is the woman’s touch important for other woman thinking about plastic surgery? A woman understands better than a male doctor the intricacies of the female body. No matter how many female patients a male doctor has worked with, the male doctor can never fully understand the female body from the female perspective. A female doctor, on the other hand, knows how being a woman feels on a very personal level.

The female perception of body image is much different from that of males. For many women, body image affects how they feel about themselves. A male doctor will understand that a female patient wants to change something about their bodies, but a female doctor understands that a change to a woman’s body, no matter how slight, affects more than just the physical appearance of the woman.

A female doctor performing plastic surgery on another female understands that more than physical appearance will be affected by the surgery. A female doctor will be able to work with the understanding that more than physical appearance will change. The female doctor who understands this idea will be able to act with more care and precision than a male doctor simply performing a surgery in exchange for money.

While it would be impossible to say that the sex of a doctor affects his or her abilities to perform a plastic surgery procedure like breast augmentation, it would be fair to say that the sex of a doctor does make them more able to understand what may be going through the mind of a same sex patient. A female doctor will be able to put female patients at ease much better than a male doctor because the female doctor will better understand the concerns of female patients better than male doctors.

Before deciding on any doctor, male or female, be sure to ask about such relevant things as past success rates and references if possible. Search for local plastic surgeons in Newport Beach like www.lawtonmd.com
