Is Liposuction effective?

Image
  Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure removing excess fat from a particular part of the body. It is considered to be a famous surgery option that helps improve body shape and contour. People opt for liposuction to remove fat mainly from the buttocks, abdomen, flanks (sides), arms, neck, thighs, and hips. Usually, most people consider liposuction because they might not have seen any change or got any benefits of exercise and diet. Liposuction can be done under local and general anesthesia. During the anesthesia, you will be asleep or half-asleep and not feel any pain or discomfort. It is normal to have pain and swelling after the surgery. It will start to subside after 2~3 weeks. To alleviate the post-surgery pain, the doctor prescribed the medications that you must take. It is also important to wear a compression garment for 3 months after the surgery to maintain the efficacy of liposuction. More about liposuction

How to lessen the nasal bump?

Image
  Everyone wishes to have a perfect nasal outline with a straight slope. However, some people may feel self-conscious over a prominent bump (dorsal hump) of a nose. They wonder if there is any way they can get rid of the dorsal hump and it flatter and smoother. Today I will delve deeper to explain to you the specific type of cosmetic surgery that can help you solve this problem once and for all. One of the most effective solutions for dorsal hump reduction is, undoubtedly, a Dorsal hump correction. At SHE’S Plastic surgery, our plastic surgeon performs an open Rhinoplasty by effectively removing a dorsal hump. The nose gets a more reshaped look and the overall contour greatly improves.   If combined with the Nasal tip plasty, not only do the dorsal lines get smooth and proportionally correct but the tip of the nose gets a more contoured shape. The result looks more natural and complementary to the rest of the facial features. After the dorsal hump removal, you may have a slight swellin

Under-eye bags

Image
  Swelling or puffiness in the under-eye area is called under-eye bags. This is a common thing that comes with the aging process. Muscles or tissues around the eyes start to sag and become weak. Also, the fat moves from one area into another. Therefore, the eyes look puffy. The main symptoms of eye bags are swelling, puffiness, loose and drooping skin as well as dark circles. They do not cause any harm or problems to the eyes. However, for those who wish you improve and remove under-eye bags for aesthetic purposes, eyelid surgery would be a better option. In eyelid surgery, the doctor removes the excess fat tissues in the lower eyelids by making a small incision on the eyelid crease. After that, he put sutures on the surgery site. Eyelid surgery is usually done in an outpatient office. That means you do not have to stay at the clinic after the surgery. Before any procedures or surgeries are directed to improve under-eye bags, the doctor can ask the following questions. When did you fir

How to elevate a low Nasal bridge?

Image
  Ever since childhood, I was always wondering if there was any method that could effectively elevate the nose bridge. When I started working at SHE’S Plastic Surgery, I learned about a range of operative, as well as non-operative methods for Nose bridge augmentation. Undoubtedly, the surgical method is the most effective and long-lasting.   We all know that nose is a focal point that draws other people’s attention to us. Especially if it is high and elegant. How do we achieve this look in a most effective way? Today I will tell you about an operative method for Nasal bridge augmentation and a nasal tip cartilage graft. At SHE’S Plastic Surgery, the combination of a nasal bridge and tip correction can perfectly reshape your nose by building up the structural support for your nose.  In order to raise a nose bridge, silicone is used as a material to add a necessary height to the nasal bridge. Moreover, a patient’s ear cartilage is used for the nasal tip reshaping. Using your own cartilag

Post-operative instructions after Upper blepharoplasty

Image
  If you underwent an Upper Blepharoplasty, there are post-operative instructions that are very important to follow. It is vital to know that the success of surgery depends on both a patient and a surgeon. Therefore, the patients need to care for themselves well after surgery. If you follow carefully the following instructions, your bruising and swelling will be minimized. Read through the following guidelines and ask our medical consultants if you need any questions to be clarified. You should keep your head elevated after the surgery to get rid of swelling. You need to take all the prescribed medication. The medication helps to alleviate pain and decrease swelling. You should place ice packs on the surgical site for 2 days. Later on, you need to place slightly warm packs and use them for 3 more days until the stitches are removed. You need to avoid all the strenuous activities for 2-3 weeks after the stitches are removed. Make-up shouldn’t be applied for 2 weeks after the stitches ar

Upper arm liposuction

Image
    Most people find it very challenging to remove fatty tissues from the upper arms through diet and exercise. If you have tried many alternatives and they did not work, you can turn to a plastic surgeon for arm liposuction.     Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes the excess fat tissues from a particular part of the body, usually arms, thighs, abdomen, sides, and hips.     The plastic surgeon does not only remove fat, but he or she also tones the arms. As a result, they look far slimmer. The fat will no longer hang down and cause any discomfort.     The procedure is conducted under local anesthesia. The doctor injection IV sedation that makes a patient relax. During the surgery, the patient will not feel any pain because the arms will be numbed.     The surgeon makes a small incision in the upper part of the elbow, and with the liposuction cannula (a tiny tube inserted into the body) removes the excess deposits of fat.     Before the surgery, you must inform the doctor ab

Double eyelid surgery

Image
  If you have single eyelids you might have thought about Double eyelid surgery to make your eyes look bigger. This type of surgery is very popular among individuals of Asian heritage. Not only it creates bigger eyes, but it makes a more refreshed and symmetrical eyelid appearance. Double eyelid surgery involves the creation of an eyelid crease that visually enhances the eyelid appearance.  Moreover, excessive fat can be removed during the operation. With the help of local anesthetics with IV sedation, the pain during the operation is significantly alleviated. The operation brings better symmetry and enhances facial harmony. As our patients say, after the surgery they have more well-defined and natural-looking eyelids. One of the most important things is to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with vast experience to ensure a successful surgery outcome. With 21-years of experience in Double eyelid surgery, our doctors have mastery in producing natural-looking results highly regarde

Fat-loss shots or Non-surgical liposuction?

Image
  There are many fats or weight-loss diet injections, are there not? Because of their various names, people confuse them very often. Therefore, I will cover the specific roles of diet injections and compare them with non-surgical liposuction. All the fat-loss injections are classified into two main categories: injection lipolysis and non-surgical liposuction injection. The names of each fat-loss injection may vary among the clinics or hospitals. However, all those injections fall into the one category above: either injection lipolysis or non-surgical liposuction injection. First, injection lipolysis is an injection containing the component and substances that locally melt the fat on some specific part of the body. This injection does not remove fat but helps dissolve the fat cells in the body. It also improves blood circulation and metabolism. Due to these benefits, the fat decreases In contrast, non-surgical liposuction does not dissolve the fat but removes it from the body. The docto

Can I unergo Upper and Lower blepharoplasty at the same time?

Image
Our eyelids are important for both our vision and defining our outer beauty. However, we can’t stop the process of aging that leads to the loss of skin elasticity and weakens the eyelids muscles. The eyelids get heavier and the eyebrows start to descend. What if you have the sagginess happening to your upper and lower eyelids at the same time? Today we will discuss whether you can undergo Upper and Lower blepharoplasty together. To make it clear, let me explain more about Upper and Lower blepharoplasty.  Upper blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that involves the correction of the redundant eyelid skin and, if necessary, the removal of fat tissue of the upper eyelid. Lower blepharoplasty is a procedure the removes the sagginess and wrinkles, skin redundancy, and fat bulges in the undereye areas. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on the upper and lower eyelids at the same time. Combining these two operations will give you a more natural and refreshed look. You will get rid of excess

What are the steps of eyelid surgery?

Image
  Both upper and lower eyelid surgeries entail the following steps. Step 1: Anesthesia. To make the cosmetic procedure far less pain-free, a certain kind of medication is injected before the surgery. Depending on the surgery, this may be IV sedation (intravenous sedation) or general anesthesia. The IV sedation can relax the patients and make a person half-asleep. In contrast, general anesthesia includes putting the person to sleep during the operation. Which types of anesthesia suits you best is determined by a plastic surgeon. Step 2: Incision. The doctor makes tiny incisions on the upper and lower eyelids. In the case of the upper eyelids, the doctor makes an incision within the eyelid crease so that the possible scars will be invisible. After making an incision, the doctor begins removing excess fat, tissues from the upper eyelids. Lower eyelid incisions are made just below the lower eyelash lines. Then, the surgeon either removes fat or redistributes it in the lower eyelid area. Al

Minimally invasive body fat reduction

Image
  Perhaps you were considering body liposuction before. However, you might have been reluctant to undergo traditional liposuction. Therefore you may be wondering whether non-surgical fat reduction treatments are effective in removing small unwanted fat tissues. There is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that can help you remove extra fat from the targeted areas that can’t be easily removed by diet and exercise. There is a unique treatment I’m going to introduce to you today that helps remove fat in specific regions. Non-surgical fat treatment or Injective liposuction is a minimally invasive and safe outpatient procedure that removes fat from specific areas to improve overall body shape.  The treatment can be performed on the arms, upper and lower abdomen, sides, and thighs. The treatment takes about 30 minutes. The procedure is achieved by removing unnecessary by the method of suction with the cannula. The doctor can eliminate up to 50cc of the fat cells in any given part of the b

How long does the result of the plastic surgery last?

Image
  One of the most frequent questions we get before and after the surgery is regarding the result of the surgery. Here are a couple of those questions. I had an upper blepharoplasty to correct drooping upper eyelids and remove wrinkles. How long does the result continue?  Does the transplanted fat last forever after fat grafting surgery? Unlike laser or other non-invasive procedures, the efficacy of the surgery is excellent. That is because the surgical procedure involves incisions.  Also, the result is long-lasting. This is why the majority of people prefer surgeries more rather than temporary non-invasive procedures. However, it is important to bear in mind that the result of any surgery is not eternal. The reason for that is the time and aging process. In case of eye wrinkles, eyelid surgeries can prevent the appearance of wrinkles and delay the aging process temporarily for 5, 10, or more years. But it does not stop the inevitable natural process of aging. Besides, each person is di

How to correct a mild degree of skin sagging?

Upper blepharoplasty

Image
Upper blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that corrects the drooping or sagging upper eyelids. It may entail removing excess skin or fat tissues on the upper eyelids.   As we age, our eyelids extend, and muscles also lose their strength to support them. Consequently, it results in droopy eyelids or eyebrows. Dropping eyelids do not only make you look older, but they also obstruct the side vision. Therefore the surgeon might recommend upper blepharoplasty to improve this condition.   In most cases, upper eyelid surgery can be done together with lower eyelids. That is decided by a plastic surgeon and depends on the conditions of the eyelids.   However, if you have baggy or droopy uppers eyelids or feel discomfort with vision, upper eyelid surgery is the one that can improve that. Before the surgery. The very first thing before the surgery is a consultation with a plastic surgeon. It is vital to discuss your expectations with the doctor and asking h

The benefits of abdominal massage

Image
  Nowadays digestion and abdominal fat problems are very common. However, they may bring many inconveniences in life in terms of stomachache and bulging belly. At times these symptoms may settle down but sometime later they may reappear again.  One of the recommendations from the specialists to improve this condition is getting an abdominal massage. But does it really resolve this issue or is it a myth? As surprising as it seems, abdominal massage is a highly effective treatment in dealing with digestion and slimming problems by relaxing stomach muscles. At She’s Plastic Surgery, you can get a professional stomach massage with the incorporation of natural aromatic oil. The massage has a stress-relieving and healing effect on digestion, detoxification, and the elimination of belly fat while improving skin elasticity. The stimulation of acupressure points significantly facilitates the metabolism and improves excessive fat issues.  You can achieve ideal results by adding anti-cellulite cr

However, the problem of the dryness of skin may still prevail with noticeable fine lines and wrinkles.

Types of laser resurfacing

Image
  Laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure using a laser to rejuvenate the texture and appearance of the skin. It also addresses different kinds of skin concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, dark spots, etc. Before undergoing any laser procedures, it is important to know which lasers are available to treat those skin problems. Lasers used in laser resurfacing procedures are classified into two groups: Ablative and Non-ablative. What is the difference between these two categories? It is vital to stress and illustrates the difference because of the effect that they may have on the skin. Ablative lasers are a type of lasers that makes injuries to the skin and removes the outer layer of the skin. They induce collagen production by heating the second skin layer, the dermis. When the dermis is heated up, it starts to generate collagen, and this improves the skin. Such lasers as CO2 or Erbium Fraxel (fractionated) laser are examples of Ablative lasers. Unlike ablatives, no

RF treatment for acne scars

Image
  As you may already know, the traditional fractional lasers can treat deep acne and post-acne. However, there is a breakthrough treatment that includes both the fractional radiofrequency and micro-needling systems to penetrate deep into the dermis layer. Infini produces better results by healing the acne scars and improving skin quality with little downtime period. Infini Microneedling uses radiofrequency energy to heal acne within a targeted area. The gold-coated micro-needles allow the energy to go deep into the dermis without causing injury to the epidermis layer. The heating process stimulates new collagen and elastin production. It usually takes several passes during the treatment to fully regenerate the facial skin. When Infini is combined with PRP (Platelet-rich plasma), the treatment speeds up the healing process and significantly improves the acne scars.   You may have some mild redness after the treatment. However, it will disappear within a couple of days. You may apply mak

Everything about Liposuction

Image
  Body contouring or liposuction is a cosmetic procedure done to remove fat from the body, especially from the abdomen, sides, hips or thighs, and arms. Liposuction contours the body apart from removing fat.   Liposuction is not a method to lose weight. If one intends to lose weight, liposuction will not be of much help. To achieve weight loss, one should do exercises and stick to the right diet routine. Rather a much amount of fat in a specific area of the body can be removed. When we gain weight, fat cells also become bigger both in size and volume. Liposuction destructs and reduces the fat cells in the specific area of the body. After the liposuction, the skin gets into the new contour if the skin elasticity is good. However, if the skin elasticity is low, then the skin might look loose in the surgery area.   Before the surgery, it is recommended to stop taking any blood thinner medications at least 2~3 weeks before the surgery, and inform the doctor about the medical history and co

Ultrasound facelift Doublo Gold

Image
  The non-invasive facelift procedures are getting more popular due to its short downtime and no need to undergo plastic surgery. Doublo Gold has proved to be a highly effective HIFU ultrasound device that tightens and lifts facial skin as well as the neck region. Doublo Gold targets the dermis and SMAS layer. SMAS is the superficial muscular aponeurotic system that is located between the dermis and the top area of the muscle layer.  The ultrasound energy contracts the SMAS and facilitates the skin tightening and lifting effect of both skin and muscles.  The ultrasound waves stimulate the process of skin cells, collagen, and elastin regeneration. You will notice significant improvements in the chin and jawline area, nasolabial folds, and cheeks. You may notice a slight lifting effect right after the treatment. However, it takes time to feel the deeper results. Due to the collagen production, the effect will be noticeable 3 months after the treatment. The skin will be more lifted,  tone

Skin regeneration with Infini and PRP

You can improve your skin with a highly effective skin regeneration treatment. This is the micro-needling radiofrequency treatment with PRP that stimulates the skin’s rejuvenation and improves skin elasticity.
