Hundreds of thousands of women choose to have breast augmentation in the United States every year. However, for many, concerns about breast cancer screening such as mammograms act as a deterrent to achieving their cosmetic goals.

Before you decline to have a procedure that can help you look and feel amazing, you need to understand that breast augmentation will neither increase nor decrease your risk for breast cancer. Neither will this procedure keep you from getting mammograms or interfere with breast cancer screening.

While breast implants may change the way your doctor screens for breast...

Tummy Tuck - Frequently Asked Questions
Authored by:

Why can't I get rid of this "pooch"?

The term "pooch" is commonly used to describe an abdominal bulge seen below the navel. If you are asking this question, you are probably at a good weight and have tried exercise. The reason women have a bulge below the navel is because of a weakness in the abdominal muscles. If you have always had weak abdominals and have never been pregnant, core muscle exercises, such as Pilates, might still work. However, if you have gone through a pregnancy or a large weight gain and loss, then these muscles have likely been stretched and are no longer connected along the center of your abdomen. A ...

Tummy Tuck after Weight Loss
Authored by:
February 02, 2018
Whether obtained through diet and exercise or surgical options, weight loss offers tremendous benefits. However, you may find that your body has lost weight, but failed to fully contour to your new size. In fact, excess sagging skin is a common byproduct of weight loss and one no amount of physical activity can fully reduce. What’s more, when you gain weight, your abdominal muscles will separate and weaken, impacting core strength and often producing a “bloated” look that weight loss alone cannot correct.

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure in which excess skin is removed from your abdominal area. Board-...

How Long Does it Take to Recover from Facelift Surgery?
Authored by:
January 15, 2018

While recovery from any plastic surgery procedure will vary somewhat from person to person, it is common for facelift patients to be able to resume most normal activities within one week of their procedure. Postoperative discomfort may be present for a few days following surgery, but can typically be handled through over the counter medications. Swelling and bruising will also be present for one to two weeks after facelift surgery. Proper care of incisions, taking time to rest, and following all of our pre and postoperative directions will help minimize these issues.
