Breast augmentation can increase the size and improve the shape of a woman’s breasts. Many different options are available with this procedure, which allow the patient to have the look that’s right for her
Options include:
- Silicone or saline implants
- Round or shaped implants
- Implant placement above or below the muscle
- Incision location around the areola or beneath the breast crease
These are intimate and important choices that will vary from woman to woman. Types of implants have each have their own pluses and minuses in terms of appearance, feeling, and safety – and the same goes for the surgical method employed. A good plastic surgeon will communicate in clear language so patients can understand the reasons for recommendations. Dr. Jazayeri makes it a point to listen closely to patients’ concerns so they can feel as good as possible about the outcome.
Breast Lift
There’s a great deal of emphasis in popular culture on the size of breasts, but we all know that the shape and placement of the breasts, as well as the tone and appearance of the skin, can be every bit as important. Breast lift surgery, also called mastopexy, is a procedure designed to eliminate sagging skin, lifting breasts to a more attractive position. Even slight sagging can be corrected with this procedure, and it is often performed at the same time as breast augmentation to ensure that the changes create a natural harmony, simultaneously achieving both a larger size and a more attractive shape in the most natural looking and attractive way possible.
Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most popular and best known of plastic surgeries. While it does, indeed, use suction to remove fat from the body, it’s important to understand that it is not a form of weight loss. It’s a means of dealing with troublesome pockets of fat that simply don’t respond to diet and exercise
Liposuction is the procedure many women choose when diet and exercise fail to affect problem areas and to mold a more attractive physique. The procedure will eliminate fat from some of the most troublesome areas, including the:
- Arms
- Back
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Thighs
- Buttocks
In addition to being used to remove unwanted body fat, liposuction can also be used to repurpose that unwanted fat for other procedures, offering something of a twofer for patients. Most buttock augmentation is now performed using the fat transfer technique for the procedure popularly known as the Brazilian Butt Lift. It is also sometimes used for breast augmentation in situations where patients want a more modest increase in size.
Liposuction is a tried and true procedure with nearly a century of history behind it that has been widely obtained by patients since the 1980s. It has been performed successfully millions of times worldwide, and experts agree that it is highly safe and effective. However, it is still a surgery and patients need to be aware that some recovery time is involved. According to WebMD, most people are able to resume their full schedule in roughly two weeks while taking post-surgical antibiotics.
Finally, while a liposuction does, in fact, permanently remove fat cells, it does nothing to ensure that the lost fat cells won’t be replaced by new ones. If patients want their outstanding outcomes to last, they will have to maintain good dietary and exercise habits for years to come.
Tummy Tuck
Bearing children very often leads to stretch marks, excess skin, and weakened muscles in the abdomen. The truth is that significant weight losses tend to create loss skin, whether they are related to childbirth or successful attempts at reducing body fat. Tummy tuck surgery, also called abdominoplasty, is the only procedure that can address all of these concerns at one time. Weakened or separated abdominal muscles are tightened, and excess skin is removed to provide a more slender appearance. Stretch marks are also eliminated if they fall in line with the skin that is removed.
This procedure is also often obtained by patients who may have lost a large amount of weight due to a successful bariatric procedure. Results of tummy tucks consistently delight patients when performed by skilled plastic surgeons. In cases where weight loss patients are also mothers, the results can be truly dramatic.
