When it comes to breast surgery a lot of people focus on breast enlargement, forgetting that breast reduction surgery is also a hugely popular surgical procedure among women. Having breasts that are too large can have a negative impact on confidence and self-esteem, not to mention that large breasts can often be uncomfortable and painful on a day to day basis. Some women struggle physically with large breasts citing shoulder pain, changing, rashes and problems partaking in sports or other physical activities. When large breasts become a problem, it’s time to think about a breast reduction. It’s not simply young and active women who are thinking about undergoing breast reduction surgery, it’s a procedure that appeals to women of all ages. Why Do Women Have a Breast Reduction Surgery? There are different reasons as to why a woman may want to undergo a breast reduction and these reasons tend to vary by age.  Young Women – With young women, it’s often due to lacking confidence and being the victim of unwanted attention. It’s difficult to grow up, even more so when you are a lot more developed than your peers and your breasts are extremely noticeable. If having large breasts is an ongoing problem and something a young woman is passionate about changing, a breast reduction may be a suggested solution. Women In Their 20s, 30s and 40s – As a woman reaches adulthood, the negative impact of having large breasts is often apparent. They may experience aches, pains and chafing. It’s also common for women with large breasts to struggle when it comes to playing sports and exercising. Older Women – Don’t make the mistake of assuming that older women are not equally interested in a breast reduction, especially those in their 60s and 70s. Women of this age tend to want a breast reduction to relieve pain and back problems, or to improve the overall asymmetry of their breasts.

Who is a Great Candidate for Liposuction?

vaser Liposuction Surgery

There are a lot of people interested in liposuction surgery, but not all of these people can actually benefit from it. There’s a common misconception that liposuction works for everyone, making them appear thinner and helping them to shift excess weight. However, it is not a weight loss method and it should not be used in place of diet and exercise. If you are struggling to get rid of unwanted fat, liposuction surgery can work well. Though, it doesn’t always remove as much unwanted fat as people initially think. Who Can Benefit From Liposuction Surgery? Those with problem areas of fat are the best candidates as it targets specific areas of the body. There can be some areas of fat that are harder to shift than others, even after trying to do so with diet and exercise. Areas such as thighs, saddle bags, love handles and the lower abdomen can all be helped with liposuction. These are the areas where it’s most difficult to get rid of fat, which is where liposuction comes in. When the fat is removed, the existing fat can then be used to contour the area as a whole. It’s about contouring the body and removing fat from targeting areas. It’s important to remember that liposuction will not remove all unwanted fat from the body, as this is unlikely to achieve results that you are happy with. When all fat is removed, it’s impossible to use the remaining fat to contour the body into a more desirable shape. This is why those that are extremely overweight are not usually good candidates for liposuction. Before going ahead, a surgeon will likely recommend bigger individuals lose some weight to ensure optimum results. If you have been working hard to get rid of unwanted fat in a specific area and are struggling, you may want to consider liposuction. It’s difficult to know whether or not you will be a good candidate for liposuction, but an expert is always on hand to help.

The Right Season For Plastic Surgery

Plastic Surgery

If you are thinking about having plastic surgery, you have probably given some thought as to whether or not there is an ideal time to go under the knife. When you are planning on having plastic surgery, you need to think about finding a time that works for you. For example, scheduling a rhinoplasty months ahead of an important event makes a lot of sense to allow for healing. Similarly, planning liposuction before your wedding is a better idea than having it done after if you want to look your best in photos. However, it’s also important to think about the season. A lot of people don’t give the season a second thought when scheduling plastic surgery, but it’s something to consider. Autumn and Winter Plastic Surgery Though the season itself will not impact the results of your plastic surgery, it can make recovery and healing slightly less stressful. If you are having a procedure that requires a lengthy recovery time and a lot of bruising, you may want to think about having it done during the colder months. During autumn and winter, you will be able to hide an unsightly scarring and bruising with a jacket or scarf. This isn’t possible during the summer, as it’s a lot warmer and clothing is a lot more revealing. For example, if you are having a neck procedure you will be able to hide the healing with a scarf. Similarly, you will be able to hide signs of a facelift with a hat. Autumn and winter are also good seasons to have liposuction, as layers of clothing can hide the undergarments you will be required to wear as part of recovery. Spring and Summer Plastic Surgery As the months get warmer, people begin to think about how their body will look in swimsuits and more revealing clothing. It’s the time of year a lot of women start to consider breast augmentation and labiaplasty. However, spring and summer are generally less popular times of the year for people to have plastic surgery as healing and recovery is less easy to hide.

Dermal Fillers Explained

Dermal Fillers

There are a lot of different signs of ageing, but most people first notice when they start to lose facial volume in specific areas such as the cheeks and brows. This loss of facial volume is caused by the reduction of elasticity in the skin, which comes from the reduction of fat and a lack of skin formation. Dermal fillers reduce the first signs of ageing by replacing lost facial volume in specific areas using a clear gel called hyaluronic acid. This clear gel is made from a substance that is already naturally found in the skin and it works by helping your skin to retain moisture. As you age, levels of hyaluronic acid drop but this can be replaced using dermal fillers. What Can Dermal Fillers Help? Reducing fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes and eyebrows. Reducing the appearance of scowl lines. Adding definition to your cupid’s bow. Adding volume to your lips. Reducing vertical lines around your lips. Reducing the appearance of bony hands by adding fullness. How Are Dermal Fillers Given? Before any dermal fillers are injected into the face, marks will be made and this will indicate where injections should be made. Then you will be given some form of anaesthetic to numb the area, ensuring that pain is minimal. This may be an anaesthetic injection, an anaesthetic cream or the dermal filler solution itself may have anaesthetic. The injections only take between 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the size of the area and how many fillers you are having. One of the great things about dermal fillers is that you are not required to stay overnight after the treatment, nor will you need to take any time off from work. You will notice some swelling, redness and bruising in the few days after having dermal fillers injected but this will not prevent you from doing the things you usually do. Once the swelling has subsided, you will see the results. Contact Us If you want to know more about dermal fillers or you want to book a consultation, get in touch with Dr Frati Cosmetic Surgery.

The Difference Between a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction

The Difference Between a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction

There are a lot of people who are bothered by stomach fat. It is something that affects both men and women, but it’s not a problem that cannot be solved. This is why a lot of people choose to go ahead with either a tummy tuck or liposuction. However, there is a fair amount of confusion in regards to what both of these procedures entail and knowing which is best for you can be confusing. Before making a choice, it’s important to familiarise yourself with what each procedure does and what each procedure involves. Should You Have a Tummy Tuck or Liposuction? Though you may assume the two procedures to be similar, there are some key differences between a tummy tuck and liposuction. Before going ahead and deciding which is best for you, consider what makes these two procedures different. Tummy Tuck – A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess skin from around the stomach area and tightens the abdominal muscles. Whereas liposuction is recommended for those who want to remove excess fat, a tummy tuck is more focused on the skin and muscles. It’s often recommended for those who have loose skin they want removed or those with stretched muscle tissue they cannot tighten. A tummy tuck is more invasive of the two procedures and there’s a high chance of scarring. Liposuction – Liposuction is the process of removing excess fat from the body. Though it is commonly carried out on the stomach area, liposuction can be performed elsewhere, such as the legs. It’s an effective way of removing areas of fat that have not been removed through diet and exercise. Liposuction is less invasive than a tummy tuck and has a quicker recovery time, but it only focuses on the fat and does not remove excess skin. If you want to remove excess skin, a tummy tuck is recommended. If you want to remove excess fat, liposuction is likely the better option.
