Common Myths About Breast Augmentation Surgery
For such a common procedure, there are several myths about breast augmentation that you really need to understand before you can make an informed choice. Through my experience as a plastic surgeon speaking to patients over the years, these are some of the key things people wonder about.
Why I Love the Mommy Makeover
A breast lift and a tummy tuck are surgical procedures that go well together: one surgery day; one recovery; less costs; and an amazing body transformation. I perform breast and tummy surgeries together on a regular basis. It is referred to as the Mommy Makeover and is one of the most satisfying procedures for my patients and me. I see patients regularly who are interested in returning their bodies back to its pre-pregnancy stage.
Breast Augmentation – How to decide what shape and size is best for you
What one person considers a natural looking breast augmentation, may not be same for the next. I personally believe that the most beautiful breast augmentation is one that looks so good, people wonder if you had surgery, but so natural looking that they are left guessing. Once it is easy to recognize an implant, some of the wonder and beauty is lost.
Lip Enhancement & Rejuvenation
We have all read recently in the news the latest craze in celebrity lip enhancement, noting that sometimes people go too far. But are there any lip enhancement techniques that can actually look natural? The answer is yes, of course there are! From fillers to lasers, there are many ways to reshape and rejuvenate the lips.
What is a Body Lift or Body Contouring Surgery?
It really means something different to everybody, because everyone responds a bit differently to how they lose weight. The most common areas for this surgery after losing a lot of weight are the chest, breasts, buttocks, abdomen, rolls in the back, or even in the neck and face.
Summer & Winter Skin Cancer Awareness
Skin cancer in Canada is on the rise. According to the Save Your Skin Foundation, skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canada. It is important to educate yourself on skin cancer awareness and prevention, making note that most skin cancers are preventable and early detection is key to treating this disease. Not only is the sun damaging in the summer, don’t forget that the sun can be just as damaging in winter or on cloudy days!
Getting Ready for Your Surgery Day
OK, now that you have booked your surgery date with your surgeon, it is time to prepare your skin and your body for your post-operative stage when you are in the healing process.
Botox® for Excessive Sweating
I have regularly seen patients at my clinic who are embarrassed by excessive sweating and have been introduced to the idea that Botox® can be used to treat this condition.
