Is Liposuction Worth it?
Authored by:
November 09, 2021

Liposuction is a procedure that permanently removes stubborn fat deposits from the body. The procedure can be used on nearly any area of concern, including legs, the midsection, the back, and the arms, offering a fast and reliable way to produce ideal body contours. If you have multiple areas with diet and exercise-resistant fat deposits, multiple regions can be treated during a single session, helping to sculpt and tone those areas that have proven more challenging to slim.

The cost of liposuction ranges between $3,400 and $6,700, depending on factors such as which area is...

What is Included in the Cost of My Plastic Surgery Procedure?
Authored by:
October 13, 2021

When you are quoted a price for plastic surgery, it is always a good idea to clarify what it includes. Some surgeons provide the cost of the procedure alone while others provide an all-inclusive quote. Which one have you been given?

Equally important is verifying that the cost you are quoted is the actual cost and not just an estimate. No one wants a financial surprise after they have undergone surgery.

How Long Do I Need to Wait to Travel After Blepharoplasty?
Authored by:
August 24, 2021

Recovery from blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can take three to four weeks, though most people can resume working within one to two. Swelling and bruising are common after eyelid surgery, but with proper aftercare, should subside within a few weeks.

Keeping your head elevated, using cold compresses, and keeping incisions clean and dry can help speed recovery. So too can taking several short walks during the day.

Does Rhinoplasty Last Forever?
Authored by:
July 15, 2021

Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) permanently adjusts the size and shape of the nose, helping to bring it into complementary balance with surrounding facial features. Barring trauma, the changes made to your nose with rhinoplasty will last forever.

It should be noted that, as you age, changes in skin elasticity can make the nose look longer. It is also possible that age-related changes to surrounding structures, such as the cheeks, upper lip, and eyes, may slightly alter the appearance of your nose. The process of aging does not undo rhinoplasty, but the procedure will not make you...

Why Consider Implants With a Breast Lift?
Authored by:
June 01, 2021

Breast lift surgery corrects ptosis – sagging breast tissue that can produce a droopy and unappealing breast position. It can also be used to improve nipple placement, particularly in cases where ptosis has resulted in irregular nipple positioning.

As tissue is lifted and the breast mound is firmed, it is not uncommon for the size of the breasts to decrease slightly. For some women, this is of no concern. For others, even a slight size reduction can change upper body dynamics. For others...
