Is a Mini Tummy Tuck Necessary or Will Liposuction Do?

Liposuction vs. Mini Tummy Tuck
Jul 5, 2013

Both liposuction and mini tummy tuck can improve the contours of the abdomen. However, liposuction cannot address excess, hanging skin that can often result from pregnancy or substantial weight gain. Liposuction can remove unwanted fat but a tummy tuck is required to trim excess skin for a smoother, leaner abdomen. Some patients may require a full tummy tuck depending on the amount of unwanted fat and skin. It is necessary to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced…

How Long Does the Coolsculpting Procedure Last and How Many Treatments Are Needed?

CoolSculpting Results and Treatments Vary on Individual
Jun 28, 2013

Each CoolSculpting® treatment area is treated in approximately one hour. For example, patients who treat both flanks or both sides of the lower back will take two hours since each area requires one hour. However, some practices offer DualSculpting™ which utilizes two CoolSculpting® applicators to reduce treatment times. As for the number of treatments, each person’s body reacts differently to the procedure since the body naturally eliminates the affected, frozen fat cells through its…

Is It Possible to Find Low to No Cost Mommy Makeover Surgery Anywhere?

Elective cosmetic procedures cannot be free
Jun 19, 2013

Congratulations on losing a substantial amount of weight! Unfortunately, mommy makeovers cannot be offered at low to no cost as it is a more complex combination elective procedure that cannot be covered by insurance. In addition to a surgeon’s professional fees, there are additional costs in regards to anesthesia, facilities, and medical staff care that cannot be waived. I would advise finding a board certified plastic surgeon who provides financing options, such as CareCredit®, to help…

Sleep on Stomach?

Possible to sleep on stomach after recovery
May 31, 2013

Breast implants should not affect your long-term ability to sleep on your stomach. After breast augmentation surgery, it is important to avoid sleeping on your stomach for the first few weeks as it may affect healing and the implant’s position. Once the body has fully healed and under your board certified plastic surgeon’s recommendations, you should be able to sleep however you are most comfortable.

I Am 26 5’4 180lbs. Will a Breast Lift or Augmentation Help my Sagging Breast?

Breast augmentation and breast lift
Apr 26, 2013

Breast procedures, especially breast augmentation and lift, are commonly performed together to achieve overall rejuvenation. Breast augmentation will change the shape and size of your breasts, while a breast lift addresses excess skin and tissue that causes sagging breasts. If you are looking to only resolve sagging breasts then a breast lift will reposition them to a more youthful position. However, it is difficult to determine which procedure will best achieve your goals based on your…

Mini Tummy Tuck Ok?

Mini Tummy Tuck after pregnancy
Apr 18, 2013

If you are planning to have children in the near future, I would recommend you to wait until after having your children before choosing a body contouring procedure. While a mini tummy tuck will provide pleasing results, pregnancy will often affect, if not reverse plastic surgery results since the mid-section will stretch with a baby’s growth. Body contouring procedures, especially tummy tuck surgery, is commonly performed after patients are finished having children.

Excess Skin on Pectoral and Abdominal Area After Weight Loss?

Male breast reduction addresses gynecomastia
Apr 10, 2013

Congratulations on your weight loss, 120 lbs. is certainly an accomplishment! Dramatic weight loss often results in excess skin that cannot be resolved through diet or exercise. You may be good candidate for male breast reduction surgery. This procedure applies liposuction to remove residual fat and surgical excision of glandular tissue and excess skin for a smoother chest. Other post-bariatric procedures can address other areas, but male breast reduction specifically targets the chest area…

Should I Wait Till I Have Kids to Get Breast Implants?

Breast Augmentation Possible Prior to Pregnancy
Apr 4, 2013

For procedures like tummy tuck or breast lift surgery, I often recommend for patients to wait until they are finished having children since pregnancy can affect results. For breast augmentation, many patients undergo this procedure prior to having children but it is important for patients to have reached physical maturity before deciding on surgery. It is difficult to determine how pregnancy will affect your body with or without breast implants, but your implants should not prevent you from…

I Am a 29 Year Old Mother of Two I Am Debating a Tummy Tuck and Breast Reduction at the Same Time?

Combination breast and body procedures
Mar 29, 2013

Combination cosmetic procedures like tummy tuck and breast reduction is quite common. Breast procedures and body contouring procedures are often safely combined in a surgery commonly known as Mommy Makeover. However, it is recommended that patients reach a healthy weight prior to any surgical procedure. Overweight patients, especially those with high cholesterol, can have higher complication rates. While mommy makeover surgery is safe for many patients, it is important to have an in-person…

How Often Should I Botox?

Length of Botox Results
Mar 15, 2013

Hi Alohaaleja, Most of our Athens Botox® patients will see wrinkle reduction effects for 3-4 months before needing reinjection. Because each patient is different, it’s best to first undergo the treatment and see how long the wrinkle-relaxing results last for you before committing to a treatment schedule.

Silicone Vs. Saline – Which Breast Implant is Safer?

Speak to your surgeon to help weigh your options
Mar 8, 2013

Both saline and silicone breast implants have been FDA-approved for breast enhancement in the United States; however, there are still ongoing studies being completed regarding the long-term effects of leaked silicone on the body. There are many factors that drive a woman’s decision to select saline or silicone implants. For many women, the higher viscosity of silicone gel more closely emulates the consistency of human fat or natural breast tissue. Because there are so…

Does Coolsculpting Work on Back Fat?

Dependent on Area of Back to Be Treated
Feb 22, 2013

Hi Staunton87, CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared for non-surgical fat reduction of the hips, abdomen, and flanks. Depending on which area of the back to which you’re referring and how much excess fat you have, CoolSculpting® may be a good option. Most CoolSculpting® patients report a 20% fat reduction of the treatment area with one session.

Can Zeltiq CoolSculpting Be Used on Calves?

Lipo better suited to eliminating fat in localized areas like the legs
Feb 12, 2013

Hi Brigitta,

CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared for fat reduction of the abdomen, hips, and flanks for both men and women. Though CoolSculpting is appealing because of its non-surgical nature and no downtime, it is NOT recommended to treat other areas of the body like the calves. If you are an otherwise healthy individual, you might speak to a board certified plastic surgeon in your area about liposuction as it is better suited to eliminating fat in localized areas like the legs…

Liposuction, Body Contouring or Tummy Tuck Enough for Bulges?

Body contouring procedures should not be used for weight loss.
Feb 7, 2013

Dear Frustrated, It’s important to remember that body contouring procedures like liposuction and tummy tuck surgery should not be used for weight loss. These cosmetic procedures are best reserved for those patients of a healthy weight who are looking to remove excess, hanging skin after substantial weight loss or those looking to eliminate small, isolated areas of fat. Body contouring procedures can be dramatically compromised by excess weight and your risk of complications also…

Would Cool Sculpting Help After a C-section?

Best to first undergo a comprehensive cosmetic consultation
Nov 15, 2012

Hi aboger07,

CoolSculpting® is an option for patients looking to reduce the fat of isolated areas like the lower abdomen; however, it is most effective for those patients with small areas of excess fat. Additionally, many women who suffer from loose skin creating a “pooch” appearance on the lower abdomen after having a baby may be in need of tummy tuck surgery to remove excess skin and tighten muscles that can be stretched during pregnancy. It is best to first undergo…
