I have to say that we can do so much with the lipoaspirate we remove during liposuction. Liposuction is a great way of slimming and shaping the body, but what about the fat removed. To bolster the derriere, we can put this fat back into the areas you want it to better shape and lift your rear.
Many women have a square rear or a V shaped rear. The prettiest shapes for the buttock is a round shape or an A shape. Well we can make that happen if we can remove enough fat from the places we do not want it. Worth asking about anyhow.
I have been asked so many times by patients and friends whether the fat you remove from liposuction goes somewhere else on your body. What they mean is, if your thighs get thinner, does your tummy get bigger. So why the confusion.
When you remove fat during liposuction, that fat is thrown away or sent to pathology, but it is GONE. That means that your thighs now have fewer fat cells then they had before. So when you gain weight, there is fewer cells in your thighs to get bigger but you still have all the fat cells in your tummy. So if you gain weight after liposuction, the areas you did not suction will get fatter then the areas you did. So if you always gained weight in your lower half, and then you do liposuction, now if you gain weight your upper half will get bigger in proportion.
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.
Finally we have someone who takes pride in showing her body. Michelle is confident and, therefore, showing her arms is not a big deal. Her confidence obviously is so strong that no one even dares to criticize what she does. Her husband who is the most powerful man in the world and quite the looker himself adores her. Why does he adore her?? For the same reason that everyone adores her. It is her confidence in herself that makes him respect her as he beams with pride everytime she is around. Sooo- what does that tell you. Your self confidence is very important. How you feel about yourself is the key. Your feeling about yourself says tons and communicates to all whether you are great, just so and so or a true failure to be dismissed. So you must boost your confidence and pride in yourself whatever it takes. Diet, exercise, a new lipstick and makeup or haircu or a bit of fillers, botox, latisse to bat those long eyelashes, fraxel for good skin, lipo for skinny arms, or a tuck here and there. Vaginal tightening anyone, or labiaplasty for great confident sex life?????? Your self confidence will boost your relationship, get you a job or keep you on the job. You are what you think you are and not what they say you are.
New year and new hopes and dreams and expectations. We want to feel as good as we can so we must look as good as we feel. New resolutions–go on a diet and loose 5 lbs. Go to the gym at least three times a week. Yoga for relaxation, deep breathing rather than screaming when we are angry and so on. However, there are certain maintenance activities which we must do to look good. Just like we repaint a kitchen, or redo a bathroom or fix a million other things we own. We do own our bodies and those need fixing and maintenance as well. Soooo-my friends we must maintain our skin with the proper creams. Those who have dry skin must put on more oclusive creams those with oily more drying and those with age spots and shallow wrinkles and irregular texture perhaps the fraxel treatment would be of value. Deep crevices by our lips, or nose should be filled in and the frown lines that make us look very angry could benefit from botox. Our leg spider veins must be looked after, and tx either by laser or by injection. All these tx are well within a budget that over a year could be manageable. Of course never discount the liposuction of those thighs that will not go away no matter what. Never discount the breast lift for those breasts that sag deeper and deeper into a depressed and sorry state. Oh my-am looking in the mirror and now what on earth happened to my stomach. It used to be tight and now it also buldges. Well after 6 mo of sit ups if it aint gone perhaps a tummytuck might be in order. Many women who are determined and loose over 50 lbs now undergo skin trimming surgery. After the mons pubis is lifted, one looks down and lol!!!!look at those hanging labia. Well, even there is help for these stretched out hanging labia that look like elephant ears. One can reduce them, plump them and make them look virginal. How about that. Even the vaginal introitus can be made tighter and feel much better during sex. Ah yes, sex–what is that. Well, when you feel good you may want to indulge a bit????The lucky thing in all this is that these conditions are fixable. It is not a terminal condition altho life is. Therefore, fix and indulge before those cataracts start coming cause by then it will not matter. Would love to see you in the office to discuss, tummytuck, breast lifts, facial injections and treatments, liposuction or labia reduction or just a chat about it all. 2008-so what; 2009-now what.
I am down here in Florida and the weather is beautiful. Many young women with great bodies are on the beach. Many have had breast augmentations and most probably liposuction judging from the discreet small incision marks on their legs. However, to most they look great. Breast augmentation if done with saline implants can be totally scarless. The implants can be put in through the axilla or armpit leaving a small mark in the already present creases. These breast augmentations look natural and feel natural. It is easy to read mammograms and biopsies can be done without worrying that a sac containing silicone will be ruptured. Even if they do rupture it is only water and one can remove the implant through the armpit and place a new one into the already present pocket. One should consider breast augmentation with saline implants. Even tho they are not mentioned much in the magazines they are I feel superior to silicone. Less scar, mammography is easier and biopsy can be done without the same concern. If they leak they can be easily removed. If silicone leaks it is a much larger procedure to fix it. So call our office and find out more about saline breast augmentations.
