What are Plastic Surgeons?

They are medical doctors who extend their studies learning how to remodel and restructure different areas of the body. Plastic surgery can be done for reconstructive purposes or for enhancing the way the body looks. Different procedures are performed by plastic surgeons on people of all ages.

Choose a Trustworthy Surgeon

If you are contemplating having plastic surgery, there are several things you have to think about. Here are some points for you to consider:

• Make sure the plastic surgeon you choose has had surgical training of at least five years and having two years of surgical training in plastic surgery.

• Should be trained as well as experienced in every surgical procedure including face, breast, body and reconstruction

• The doctor should operate in only an accredited medical facility.

• The plastic surgeon should adhere to a strict ethical code.

• Should only go to a board certified surgeon

What's New in Plastic Surgery

Hand Rejuvenation that Features Radiesse

Are you hands showing age? Are you getting tired of seeing all of those unsightly veins, skin and wrinkles? There is a new revolutionary procedure using Radiesse where it is now achievable to have hands that look ten years younger. This procedure only takes fifteen minutes, there is no anesthesia required and it produces results that can be seen immediately.

FDA Approval for Latisse

The FDA recently approved Latisse as the only available product that will increase the growth of eyelashes. It makes them look darker, longer and thicker. This prescription consists of just an application once a day to the base of your upper eyelashes. You will probably expect to see results in sixteen weeks.

Featured Procedures

Scarless Breast Reduction

If you are contemplating a breast reduction, you can now have a minimally invasive procedure using liposuction only. Over time, you can expect to see a natural lift due to lighter breasts as well as skin contracture. You will experience a quicker recovery, minimal scarring and a lower complication rate.

Buttocks Augmentation

If someone has had a gastric bypass followed by a massive weight loss, this can result in saggy, loose buttocks that have neither form nor shape. A traditional lower body lift usually removes excess skin and tightens loose tissue but really does not increase volume or shape. There is now a new procedure being performed by some plastic surgeons who use flaps from the buttocks and lower back to enhance the shape and size of your buttocks.

Facial Rejuvenation

Soft Tissue Augmentation

If you want to maintain a youthful appearance, then you are going to have to eliminate wrinkles and add volume to your lips or face. Some of the products that are routinely used by plastic surgeons are Restylane, Sculptra, Radiesse and fat. These procedures are typically performed in the plastic surgeon's office using only local anesthesia and requiring minimal down time. Depending upon which product is used, results can last anywhere from six to twelve months.

Botox

By using Botox, you are able to eliminate frown lines, forehead lines, crows feet and even get a brow lift. These procedures only last approximately five minutes and you are in and out in no time!
