Everyone interested in laser hair removal always wonders where all they can have the procedure performed. I found an answer on the website of a Miami plastic surgeon. He says, “Any area, except around the eyes.”
Are you considering breast augmentation? I recently found Dr. Pasquale in Hawaii. Dr. Michael A. Pasquale is a board certified reconstructive and plastic surgeon and Hawaii’s top surgeon for breast augmentation. Dr. Pasquale specializes in breast implant surgery, breast lift, breast reduction and breast revision surgery. Why not make a vacation out of it while you’re there?
When choosing to have breast augmentation in Hawaii, always choose a plastic surgeon that is qualified. Making an informed decision is the key.
I have been wondering if I’m an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck. I am in fairly good shape, but I have a tummy that will not go away no matter how hard I try. I did some online searching and found a Miami plastic surgeon’s website. It says, “Abdominoplasty is not, however, a substitute for weight reduction, and it is not meant as a treatment for obesity. The ideal candidate for abdominoplasty has relatively normal weight with weak abdominal muscles and excess skin and fat of the lower abdomen.”
Traditional Blepharoplasty: An incision is made in the crease of the upper lid toward the temples. Once healed, it is not noticeable when the eye is open. On the lower lid, the incision is made along the lash line toward the temples, and is hidden by lashes when healed.
The Transconjunctival Approach: This is a newer technique for blepharoplasty, involving an incision inside the lower lid. Fat can be removed through this incision, but excess skin cannot be eliminated.
The beauty of a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is that it’s a simple, 10-minute, non-surgical process. Treatment consists of a few tiny injections of very low dosage, made through a very fine needle, directly into the appropriate muscles. Results may vary. And there’s no recovery time. You can even do it on your lunch break. You can request that the area be desensitized with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to beginning, though most patients experience only brief mild discomfort. The process takes only about ten minutes, and a noticeable improvement in your frown lines appears within a few days. The results generally last around four to six months, after which time the injections can be repeated.
I never knew Botox Injections were so simple. Has anyone ever had them before?
How do you select a cosmetic dentist?? Is it based on education, before and after photos or a referral from a friend.
I found one that Im impressed with Dr. Michael Boyce from Arden Dental Care in Sacramento California. Dr. Michael Boyce D.D.S. has been practicing cosmetic and general dentistry in Sacramento for over 21 years. He is a Member of the American Dental Association - Member of the California Dental Association and a Member of the Sacramento District Dental Association.
Lots of experience and some great before and after photos. Id like to know how you would find a cosmetic dentist in your area and what things you would look for in making an informed decision. What is most important to you in selecting a cosmetic dentist?
If You’re Considering Ear Surgery…
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears.
For the most part, the operation is done on children between the ages of four and 14. Ears are almost fully grown by age four, and the earlier the surgery, the less teasing and ridicule the child will have to endure. Ear surgery on adults is also possible, and there are generally no additional risks associated with ear surgery on an older patient.
If you’re considering ear surgery for yourself or your child, this information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure-when it can help, how it’s performed, and what results you can expect. It can’t answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. Please be sure to ask your doctor if there is anything you don’t understand about the procedure
All Surgery Carries Some Uncertainty and Risk
When ear surgery is performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, as with any operation, there are risks associated with surgery and specific complications associated with this procedure.
A small percentage of patients may develop a blood clot on the ear. It may dissolve naturally or can be drawn out with a needle.
Occasionally, patients develop an infection in the cartilage, which can cause scar tissue to form. Such infections are usually treated with antibiotics; rarely, surgery may be required to drain the infected area.
WHO IS A CANDIDATE?
Liposuction is an excellent procedure for reducing and reshaping the fat of the body. It can be done at almost any age. The best results are in people with good skin tone, so that the skin will shrink down to the reduced size of the underlying tissues. Loose, sagging skin will remain so after liposuction, so people with this problem may instead require a surgical lift.
Liposuction is a good treatment for diet-resistant fat, but it is not really suitable as a substitute for weight loss. By State law, liposuction of more than 5 kilograms (about 11 pounds) of material (combined fat plus body fluids plus injected fluids) requires that a patient stay overnight in a hospital. To avoid this expense and the higher risks associated with such “large-volume liposuction,” Dr. Cedars will not remove more than this amount, which translates into at most 8-9 pounds of fat. Practically, diet and exercise are a better route to weight loss for most people, saving liposuction to achieve body shaping or sculpting.
WHAT RESULTS CAN BE EXPECTED?
The treated areas will be thinner, typically flatter, and more shapely. Large bumps will be removed or reduced. While there is an immediate shape change after surgery, some swelling is normal. Most goes away over a month, but the final shape may not appear until perhaps 6 months.
It is a common misconception that if you remove, say, 5 pounds of fat with liposuction and then gain 5 pounds, you will end up the shape you started. In fact, the new weight will instead be distributed all over the body. It is possible to defeat the operation, however—if you gain large amounts of weight, some of it will go to the the treated areas—so we recommend exercise and an appropriate diet to be healthy and fit at any weight.
AFTERCARE
Pain typically requires mild narcotic pills for several days. Depending on the size of the area treated, most people are back at work within a week. To help shape and smooth the treated areas, the compression garment is worn for a month.
Botox treatments are becoming increasingly popular, and with good reason. In many cases, Botox is a very effective method for reducing wrinkles. Botox can be used to smooth wrinkles in the neck and face to create a more youthful appearance. It is especially useful in the eye area. Removing wrinkles from between the eyes can dramatically change a person’s look from one of permanent anger or sadness to one of contentment and restedness. It is also frequently used on the thin wrinkles that surround the eyes (often called “crows feet”) and the mouth, but can also be used in other areas, such as along the chin and jaw.
The solution used in these treatments is made of botulinum A toxin, a purified protein made from botulism bacteria. This solution temporarily paralyzes nerves of the facial muscles so that they cannot contract and cause wrinkles in the area being treated. Botox may also be helpful in treating migraine headaches, and can be used to decrease excess sweating of the palms and underarms.
Miami’s facelift expert, Dr. Sam Gershenbaum, brings state-of-the-art techniques and experience to every facial surgery procedure at our Miami, Florida center, including facelift, brow lift, rhinoplasty, ear reshaping, and more.
A facelift can improve the most visible signs of aging by sculpting and tightening the deeper structures and foundation of the face and neck. As we age, the effects of gravity, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, smoking, heredity, and the daily stresses of life begin to reveal themselves in our faces. Facelift surgery can bring youth back to a patient’s face. In youth, the face is firm and smooth due to good skin elasticity and proper positioning of normal facial fat. As we age, skin elasticity and muscle tone weaken, and facial fat descends, causing prominent skin folds, deep creases between the nose and corner of the mouth. Jowls become prominent along with fat deposits and loose skin in the neck.
A facelift won’t stop this process, but it can “turn back the hands of time.” A facelift (technically referred to as Rhytidectomy) is designed to reduce much of the looseness and many of the heavy wrinkles and folds in the face and neck. It will also improve the contour of the jaw and necklines. A facelift will not, however, completely remove every fold, line, and wrinkle. There is limited improvement around the eyes and with fine lines of the facial skin. A facelift alone will not improve “smoker’s” lines around the mouth, acne scars, or a poor complexion. Other options exist to treat these problems, including laser treatment, dermabrasion, and chemical peels.
At our Miami, Florida center, many facelift procedures are combined with a forehead and brow lift, upper and/or lower eyelid surgery, and “cheekbone” (malar) augmentation. Frequently, chin implants are placed to improve the profile proportions of the jaw line and increase the projection of the chin. These additional procedures may be performed at the same time and in combination with facelift and neck lift surgery or as independent procedures at a later date.
