Laser Hair Removal
Traditionally, hair removal techniques such as shaving, tweezing and waxing provide only temporary results and may actually stimulate hair growth. Electrolysis, while effective and ideal for white, grey and blonde hairs, often requires years of ongoing and frequently painful treatments. All of these methods often result in scarring, allergic reactions, and ingrown hairs.

Implant Styles (Shapes)
Breast implants differ in shape for a number of reasons. There is no “one-size-fits-all” rule nor is there “one shape fits all” rule in breast augmentation and reconstruction. For an example, Mentor and Inamed, the two leading breast implant manufacturers, offer smooth implants, textured implants, implants with different profiles (projection), volume adjustable implants, saline filled, silicone gel filled, and double-lumen saline/gel implants.

Silicone versus Saline Implants
I am seeing more patients in my cosmetic breast surgery practice who are inquiring about silicone breast implants. Silicone implants were popular in the 1970s and 1980s. The former generation of silicone implants had a more “runny” or less viscous gel and the implant shell was thinner.

Tubular Breast Deformity
Tubular breasts have a very narrow base and usually a long skin envelope. Sometimes people refer to "tubular breast" shape as the shape similar to "snoopy's nose". In the most severe cases of tubular breast, a breast lift can be done through an incision around the areola, making the breast into a more rounded shape that the patient will be happy with.

24 Hour Recovery Program
The traditional approach to Breast Augmentation was to have patients take one week off from normal activities, such as work and child-care, and then gradually resume their lives. However, this window of time lost was significant, and the necessity of “down time” caused many women to postpone or even not consider breast augmentation because their lives were simply too busy.

What Happens When We Age: The Face?
Let's get right to it and begin with the skin. One of the first changes we see is a change in texture, in which the smooth skin of our youth is gradually replaced by a roughened, irregular surface. The skin also loses elasticity and collagen so that what was once tight and firm is now loose and sagging.

The Benefits of Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery specializes in both reconstructive and cosmetic or aesthetic surgery. Reconstructive surgery helps one to fix or bring to normalcy something that is irregular on the body, such as a ripped earlobe, or a scar. Cosmetic surgery helps to improve one's image, or as it is often called, aesthetic surgery, it gives one's body a sense of beauty.
