Breast reduction is a very common plastic surgical procedure and patients are extremely happy.  After years of carrying excessive weight around, feeling self conscious in almost everything and never being able to wear a sundress, having a breast reduction really can change your life.  Even though patients are happy, the scars can sometimes be less then ideal. 

Now we can offer a short scar breast reduction for patients who are candidates.  This gives often better results, perkier breasts, without the large incision under the breast.  This incision is usually the one that bothers the patients the most.  I really feel that for many patients this is a better choice then the traditional anchor scar incision.

your health is important

Your health is very important. Whether you do cosmetic surgery like facelifts, breast surgery, liposuction, abdominoplasty or labiaplasty or even botox injections, or skin fillers, or fat injections, or laser treatments, if done by unqualified doctors, the complications are many and some cannot be fixed. You must chose the right qualified doctor to perform your procedure.  Surfing the internet alone will not sometimes give you the truth as the internet is not checked for accuracy.  It is like a giant yellow pages.  You must be sure your doctor is trained and qualified  by checking their board certification directly from the board office for that specialty. Do not take the chance on your health or quality of life.

To look like this at 43yo you must take good care of your body. Good nutrition, exercise and great skin care is of utmost importance. Of course at times Plastic Surgery must be done to achieve such a wonderful body. Not everyone is lucky to have that metabolism or that physique. However, for those who have hefty hips and thighs and would like that leaner look, liposuction is an option. Those who would like to have shapely and sexy breasts there are procedures that can accomplish that too.  Breast implants increase size, breast lift allows the breasts to look perky and if one is over endowed a breast reduction will lift and downsize to a more attractive and proportional size. Those that have children and are unable to reduce their tummy skin or tighten their tummy muscles even with vigorous physical activity, help is also available. A tummytuck can reduce skin and/or tighten muscle to create a sixpack. Liposuction alone can reduce fat from the abdominal area if the skin and muscle are in good shape. The mons pubis can be lifted through a small suprapubic incision and that may improve sex life as well. The neck and face and eyes are youthful till about 40 when depending on your skin, bone structure, weight fluctuations and genetics jowls begin to form as well as folds and bags around the eyes. Eyelidplasty and a facelift are great options for those who feel that they look older than they feel. Of course rhinoplasty enhances the shape of a nose and otoplasty makes your ears sexy and sensuous. These are just suggestions for some of the surgical procedures.

Recently gastric banding has become the procedure of choice for managing extreme weight loss. Bypass surgery is still done but less frequently. The weight loss that results also leads to extreme redundancy of skin which just hangs in folds. Many must now address this condition. Skin folds besides being unattractive also lead to rashes and discomfort. One cannot fit into clothes properly and wearing a bathing suit may be embarrasing. So one needs to look for a qualified plastic surgeon to do total body skin reduction. This, if involves lots of areas,  should be done in a hospital as the procedure is long and people after extreme weight loss may be more susceptible to certain complications.  They must be monitored properly postop.

When stocks go down many people loose their jobs and must hit the pavement looking for new opportunities. The competition for the few new jobs that are available becomes steeper. One not only must have a great resume, great enthusiasm, the willingness to work hard, honesty and competence, one must also present well. Some of the frown lines must be ironed out with Botox, and some of the deep nasolabial folds should be filled with some juviderm, restalyne or fat. Perhaps the complexion could be improved with a fraxel treatment or a good microdermabrasion. Age spots, and pigment unevenness can also be removed by fraxel or a good skin regimen. Of course if one has more time for recovery and also can afford it plastic surgery could take care of heavy eyelids, drooping jowls, too large and saggy breasts, and too large thighs. To look your best, one must find the best treatments that work for that person. Of course, hair treatments and a good cut as well as a well fitting suit or dress is also very helpful. It may not need to be very expensive, just appropriate and good fitting.

I often ask my patients that if they have a choice would they rather have a young body or a young face. Hard decision-However, most want a young body. Interesting, but not surprising. A sexy or a sensuous young body is always admired and aspired to. People spend hours in gym, pilatis, running, biking, hiking-all in order to preserve youth of body.  Men whistle at the site of a sexy young body more than at a young face. Therefore, liposuction, tummytucks, breast lifts and reductions are so popular. The buttock lift is also gaining in popularity. The scars are hidden in creases and the buttock looks tight and uplifted. Great look in jeans. Women who have body surgery are proportionally happier than those with face rejuvenation surgery.Many inquire about vaginal and labial rejuvenation surgery both becoming more popular and talked about in the US. It used to be done most often in Iran and Eastern regions of the world. However, as people have become more mobile and many different ethnic groups migrate west that surgery is taking hold all over the world. It is safe and leaves no scars. Now you can become younger in all respects. It is a new era where women are much more aware of their own anatomy and are not afraid to verbalize what it is that they want. While doing a tummytuck we often also raise the pubis and thus one feels uplifted in all respects. All these surgeries are safe if done by reputable and experienced doctors. Do not be afraid to inquire about them and see which if any are good for you.
