Plastic Surgery and Other Aesthetic Services:The Newest Alternatives

Looking for the latest information on some of the newest plastic surgery and other aesthetic Services available? Here you will get the down-low on some of the latest surgerical techniques and treatments for health and beauty.

Facelift

A facelift is the only procedure that treats a heavily lined face, whose wrinkles are the result of sagging skin and muscles in the lower face. It involves tightening the underlying musculature of the face and removing excess skin. Heavier lines are greatly improved and jowls vanish, which would address heavy lines below the cheeks and a jowly appearance. Some plastic surgeons offer a computer imaging system which is equipped with a morphing capability to demonstrate a facelift result and a comparison tool which puts the "before and after" side by side on the screen.

Tummy Tuck

If you have a belly that sticks out due to pregnancy & babies as well as weight gain or loose sagging skin, you may want to research tummy tucks. It is sometimes called a circumferential lower body lift. The problem occurs with excess fat and loose skin that was damaged during pregnancy. Even with exercise, you can't get back your washboard stomach. Your physician will want to consult with you and decide if you would be better off with liposuction or a tummy tuck. The first stage of a lower body lift involves abdominoplasty, and the thighs and buttocks are lifted at the second stage. Stomach muscles are tightened and fat cells are removed.

Permanent Lip Augmentation

Want to permanently pump your lips but tired of repeated expensive injections? Perma Facial Implant is the answer. It is FDA approved and is an alternative to repetitive and costly filler injections. It is made of a soft flexible silicone elastomer so it cannot rupture or leak. The smooth surface prevents surrounding tissue from attaching to the implant. It is contoured to the shape of the lip and is available in a variety of sizes, giving you a natural smile to show off.

Adult Acne Treatment

Perhaps you are in your 30s and are experiencing the horror of teenage skin disasters (pimples and rashes). There is treatment for adult acne. Isolaz is a new FDA-approved light device for the treatment of adult acne. The treatments are relaxing and there are no side effects or other discomforts. You can go right back to your normal activities immediately after treatment. Anesthesia and numbing gels are not required. Isolaz can also be used for hair removal and skin rejuvenation.

Short-Scar Breast Reduction

If you are looking to reduce the size of your breasts but don't want the scarring. You may have back and neck pain due to the size of your breasts. The short-scar technique can reduce the scarring by 60%. With this procedure, excess tissue can be removed, and the breast can be lifted and reshaped.

SmartLipo

SmartLipo flattens fatty areas by liquefying the fat without causing dimples or cellulite which can occur with liposuction. This procedure will tighten the skin at the same time. Most commonly treated areas are the chin, jowls, arms, abdomen, thighs, knees, bra strap area and ankles. A laser wand is slipped thru a pinpoint hole. Patients are awake and don't feel anything. Fat will be melted away and suctioned out, which means less bruising and discomfort. Support garments are worn for a while depending on the area where the fat was removed from. SmartLipo provides immediate results.

Anti-Aging

Want to reverse the signs of aging? Who doesn't? With appropriate hormone replacement, exercise, and experimentation with nutrition, you can slow down or turn back your biological clock. Hormone replacement therapy will restore your body's natural hormones and nutrients to their earlier levels, in your youth, and allow for a longer healthier life.

Breast Augmentation

If your breasts are sagging due to age or pregnancy, there is hope. Combined with an uplift, breast augmentation can correct this problem by restoring a natural look and improving the contour of your breast line. The outpatient procedure takes about 2 ½ hours and is done with a light anesthesia.
