Many people begin to consider surgery on their eyelids, or alternatively a brow lift, because they have a tired look about them even when they don’t feel tired. They are often asked by others if they are tired although they feel great. In some patients, this begins early in their 20’s or even teens and is usually from darker skin in the area or from a prominence under the eyes which produces shadows giving the appearance of bags. This prominence is from excess fat around the eye itself. Redistributing or removing this via cosmetic eyelid surgery will remove the bags under the eyes. As the aging process continues, excess skin develops in the upper and lower eyelids. This usually becomes noticeable in the mid-forties and bothersome in the fifties. Often, the excess skin in the upper eyelids can become such a problem that... <br><br>2-Jul-08 10:00 AM IS COSMETIC EYELID SURGERY OR A BROW LIFT FOR ME?

Dale Reynolds, MD According to statistics from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, cosmetic surgery in men is increasing every year.

Dale Reynolds, M.D. What is body contouring and is it right for me? Liposuction surgery, abdominoplasty (or tummy tuck), buttock lift, thigh lift, body lift, belt lipectomy and buttocks (gluteal) augmentation all fall under the category of body contouring procedures. Which procedure is right for you depends upon several factors. In general, patients with good skin tone and small pockets of fat deposits (or lipodystrophy) are best suited for liposuction surgery. Patients with excess skin or loss of skin tone are often better candidates for a body contouring procedure where excess skin will be excised and tightened (resectional procedure). The abdominoplasty or tummy tuck deals with the front (abdominal) part of the lower trunk. An abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is often the best procedure for a woman trying to regain her youthful figure after the trauma of childbirth. It is best to wait to have an abdominoplasty until after childbirth is completed so the benefits of the... <br><br>23-May-08 11:00 AM Body Contouring R.

Patients hear these discussed in the media daily, but there are so many options, and with new ones coming to the market each year, the choice can become confusing. Patients often ask for a Botox injection or dermal fillers when they usually need a combination of both. Botox is a neurotoxin which temporarily paralyzes the muscle that it is injected into. A Botox injection acts by inhibiting muscular activity in the area of concern. By relaxing the muscle in the area, the folds or creases are no longer prominent and often disappear. Botox injection charges are calculated by unit or by area. One area is usually around $300, and 1 unit is usually $9-16 dollars. If the surgeon is charging less than $9/ unit, ask him or her to mix it in your presence and make sure that at least two mL are used because they may be using a diluted product. If charges are by unit, then the number of units required will vary by... <br><br>23-May-08 11:00 AM Botox Injection or Dermal Fillers?

For many women, the confidence boost this procedure gives them makes the potential side effects of breast implants well worth it. Childbirth often causes significant deflation and sometimes droopiness of the breasts which can often be reversed by filling this deflated breast with more volume. Often during development, a significant amount of breast tissue doesn’t form leaving ladies feeling less feminine. In November of 2007, the FDA re- approved use of silicone implants for all women over 22 years old having a breast augmentation procedure, which ended a 14 year restriction due to the side effect of breast implants made from silicone experienced by many women. Advances in silicone implants mean that it is now safe to use silicone or saline implants for a breast augmentation procedure depending upon patient preference and anatomy.

It really depends on what your plastic surgeon means when they say facelift surgery – a surgical or non-surgical facelift. Any facelift should improve the jawline, tighten the neck and remove the jowls in the lower face. There also may be some improvement in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. A facelift shouldn’t be expected to help much with most other lines or creases in the face. A classical facelift surgery involves removing excess skin of the face and neck to obtain a more youthful look. The most popular and effective facelift surgery technique involves tightening or removing some of the muscle layer (SMAS) under the skin so that the tension of the lift is not on the skin. This avoids the over-pulled, windblown look that everyone wants to avoid. In addition to an incision around the ear, an incision is often needed under the chin to tighten the muscle layer of the neck and to remove any excess fat... <br><br>23-May-08 11:00 AM Options for Facelift Surgery Dale Reynolds, MD Is a lunchtime facelift a contradiction in terms?
