Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeons

I recently decided that I wanted to have a breast lift performed on me so I went online to find out what I can expect for side effects. In my search I found a Chicago plastic surgeon’s website. It had my answer and says, “Most swelling and discoloration will subside after a few weeks. There may be a temporary loss of sensation in the breast skin but this improves with time.”

I’m going to be receiving a breast reduction in the next few months and I had been very worried about what to expect after surgery. I went online to find out as much post-operative care facts about breast reduction as possible. I ended up finding a handful on a Chicago plastic surgeon’s website. “Following surgery, you will experience pain for several days, but it can be controlled with medication. Within a week, the surgical dressing will be replaced with a soft bra, to be worn for several weeks. Swelling and skin discoloration will partially subside in a week or two and stitches will be removed at about that time. You can return to nonphysical work in approximately one week and gradually resume fitness and other physical activities after three to four weeks.”

I look up breast lift information now and then looking for specifics each time. I thought I knew everything about the surgery until I found a Chicago plastic surgeon’s website. It says, “Even breasts that are dissimilar in shape can be adjusted to appear younger, healthier and rejuvenated.”

This is embarrassing, but I feel my labia minora is much larger than a normal woman’s labia minora. I thought there was absolutely no way to fix it, but after some research, I found a way. On a Chicago plastic surgeon’s website it describes a surgery known as Labia Minora Reduction and says, “Various techniques are available for treating prominent labia minora. The standard approach utilized by many gynecologists and plastic surgeons is a simple removal of leading edge of the labia, thereby shortening and reducing it. The edge is then repaired. This is the least complicated technique and is easily completed in the office.”

I have been curious as to how visible the incisions are for breast augmentation. I did some searching online and found a Chicago plastic surgeon’s website. It says, “The breast incision is quite small and is placed in non-visible areas. Saline implants are placed under the chest muscles, as well as the breast, for smooth cover.”

I have been wondering when breast reconstruction can be performed. I did some online research and found a Chicago plastic surgeon’s website with my answer. It says, “The most common surgical procedure to reduce the physical deformity following mastectomy is referred to as a breast reconstruction. This is a staged procedure, that is, the surgeon first inserts a tissue expander either at the time of the mastectomy or as a delayed procedure approximately three months later.”

I wasn’t sure if I should ask any questions when I went to talk to a plastic surgeon about my facelift. I didn’t want to seem out of line or annoying so I didn’t ask any questions. I did some online searching and found a Chicago plastic surgeon’s website. It says, “Don’t hesitate to ask your doctor any questions you may have, especially those regarding your expectations and concerns about the results.”

Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. During the past decade, liposuction, which is also known as “lipoplasty” or “suction lipectomy,” has benefited from several new refinements. Today, a number of new techniques, including ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), the tumescent technique, and the super-wet technique, are helping many plastic surgeons to provide selected patients with more precise results and quicker recovery times. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don’t respond to traditional weight-loss methods.

One of the most popular procedures today, liposuction is designed to eliminate fatty deposits in various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks or neck. This is not a weight loss procedure but rather a sculpting of areas that are refractory to dieting and exercise. During the tumescent liposuction procedure, fluid is injected into the tissue to improve the efficiency of fat removal and to decrease the blood loss. Then, a cannula connected to a vacuum pump is inserted through a small 1/4” incision in a normal skin fold, and the area is suctioned. Today, advanced techniques using ultrasonic and power assisted cannulas have enhanced results. This body contouring procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, and the patient can resume normal activities within a week’s time, but must refrain from exercising and sports for three weeks postoperatively.
