Considering Breast Revision – Utah

Breast Revision – Utah – Breast implants can revive breast volume lost to time and gravity, create the bustline nature never granted, correct asymmetry, and even restore breasts lost to illness or injury. Surgical procedures can go awry, however, and though complications are rare for breast implant surgery, they can happen. When a previous breast augmentation creates a cosmetic problem or poses a health risk, it generally means removal or replacement of the implant. Some of the more common complications to breast enlargement are capsular contracture, nipple sensitivity (or the loss thereof), rippling, and rupture.

Complications are not the only reason for revision surgery, of course. Most implants are only designed to last 10 years, so revision surgery becomes necessary. Many women find, too, that after their surgery they simply wish they had gotten larger implants. For more information on Utah plastic surgery, see Dr. Joseph Berg.

Abdominoplasty in Utah

Abdominoplasty Utah – A tummy tuck operation involves making an incision that falls along the natural skin creases of the lower abdomen, usually correlating with the bikini line. From there, the skin is lifted away from the abdomen, creating a flap. Depending on the patient’s individual situation, the navel may be repositioned, fat may be liposuctioned away, and excess skin is excised, or cut away. Scarring is minimized as much as possible by the incision’s being located in a natural crease, and by the application of vitamins and adhesives, but a scar is to be expected whenever there is an incision.

Utah cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Kimball Crofts, also reminds potential patients that planned future pregnancies and certain medical conditions can make the procedure unsafe. The best way to know for sure if you are a good candidate for this procedure is in a personal consultation with your surgeon.

A normal part of the aging process is that wrinkles and puffiness around the eyes contribute to an older, tired appearance. The eyes are among the first things noticed about a person, so it stands to reason that whether old and tired or young and energetic, judgments about the eyes will extend to the person. Eyelid surgery (officially called blepharoplasty) is a procedure performed to give the eyes a visual pick-me-up.

Dr. Kimball M. Crofts performs eyelid surgery in Utah. When performing blepharoplasty, Dr. Crofts makes small incisions in the natural contours around the eyes where any scars will be less noticeable. Fatty tissue is removed and loose skin is tightened, occasionally using laser to smooth the lower lids. If you are contemplating cosmetic surgery in Utah, you should schedule a consultation with Dr. Crofts to discuss your goals and how you reach them.
