Abdominoplasty - Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty - Tummy Tuck Abdominoplasty, also known as a "tummy tuck," is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen . And during this procedure the muscles that have loosened possibly from pregnancy can be tightened. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. However, to remove this excess skin there will be a scar which with a full tummy tuck can extend from hip to hip. If you're considering abdominoplasty, this will give you a basic understanding of the procedure-when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Please ask Dr. Kim about anything you don't understand. Good candidates for abdominoplasty The best candidates for abdominoplasty are men or women who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal sk

Recovery Breast Augmentation

Recovery Breast Augmentation- Mammoplasty Recovery After a post-surgical recovery period of 24 to 48 hours and an additional reduced-activity period of a few days, you will likely experience soreness and swelling for a few weeks. Exercise and normal activity can resume at the direction of your plastic surgeon. Over time, post-surgical swelling will decrease and incision lines will fade. You will be given specific instructions on how to care for your breasts afterwards, including massaging techniques, medications to take, what type of bra to wear and follow up appointments. When you go home If you experience shortness of breath, chest pains, or unusual heart beats, seek medical attention immediately. Should any of these complications occur, you may require hospitalization and additional treatment. The practice of medicine and surgery is not an exact science. Although good results are expected, there is no guarantee. In some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal res
Breast Augmentation Implant Choice All incisions can be used successfully. Which incision is best for you will depend on your particular anatomy combined with your preference in location as well as the comfort level of your surgeon for each particular procedure. Dr. Kim has performed hundreds of procedures using all the different incisions so it will come down to your desires and what will be best for you based on your anatomy. Implant Choice Breast size and shape are important, so be honest and open about your expectations when talking with your surgeon. Implant type and size will be determined not just on your desired increase in size but more importantly on your breast anatomy, skin elasticity and body type. Types of Breast Implants Saline implants  are filled with sterile salt water. They can be filled with varying amounts of saline which can affect the shape, firmness and feel of the breast. Should the implant shell leak, a saline implant will collapse and the saline wi

Mammoplasty - Breast Augmentation

Mammoplasty - Breast Augmentation Also known as augmentation mammoplasty, breast augmentation involves using implants to create fuller breasts or to restore breasts that may have lost volume due to weight loss or from pregnancy. If you are unhappy with the size or shape of your breasts, augmentation surgery is a choice to consider. Breast augmentation can increase the fullness and projection of your breasts, improve the balance and proportions of your figure and improve your self-image and self-confidence. Breast augmentation alone does not correct severely drooping breasts. If you want your breasts to look fuller and to be lifted due to sagging, a breast lift may be required in combination with breast augmentation. Breast lifting can often be done at the same time as your augmentation. Is breast augmentation right for you? Breast augmentation is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any so

Breast Lift Surgery in LA

Breast Lift Surgery in LA Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is performed on women who have sagging breasts. This is commonly performed after completing child bearing. The breast becomes engorged during pregnancy and then involutes after breast-feeding is completed. Like an overblown balloon that eventually loses air, the breast skin "stretches out" and often loses its elasticity, and the breast volume shrinks.  It can also happen with fluctuations in weight as well as with aging that results in weakness in skin elasticity.  There are three general skin design patterns for mastopexy.  These are based upon the amount of skin that needs to be removed, the distance the nipple areola complex needs to be lifted to place it in an aesthetically pleasing position, the amount of breast tissue that needs to be removed or repositioned, and finally the volume, if any, that needs to be restored with a breast implant (see the breast augmentation section).   The three more common skin pa

Liposuction - Lipoplasty with your surgeon

Liposuction - Lipoplasty Liposuction, also known as liposculpture, is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. During the past decade, liposuction, which is also known as "lipoplasty" or "suction lipectomy," has benefited from several new refinements. Today, a number of new techniques, including ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), the tumescent technique, and the super-wet technique, are helping many plastic surgeons to provide selected patients with more precise results and quicker recovery times. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don't respond to traditional weight-loss methods. Good candidates for liposuction To be a good candidate for liposuction, you must have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for you.

Complimentary consultations. International patients  Silicone Breast Implants Approved by the FDA For those of us who have been waiting since 1992 for the FDA to release silicone breast implants to the general public — the waiting is over! As of November 2006, any woman 18 years of age or older undergoing any type of breast implant operation (first time augmentation, implant replacement, or a breast lift with implants) may use silicone breast implants. Because silicone implants are softer and thus more natural feeling, it is believed that many of the more than 400,000 women in this country who undergo breast implant surgery each year will opt to use silicone instead of saline.   Plastic Surgeons New York City, Breast Augmentation - Implants, Tummy Tuck Upper East Side, Fa

AFRICAN AMERICAN (BLACK) RHINOPLASTY

AFRICAN AMERICAN (BLACK) RHINOPLASTY AFRICAN AMERICAN (BLACK) RHINOPLASTY  ( Washington DC, Virginia & Chevy Chase Maryland) Much discussion surrounds the topic of African American Rhinoplasty, as it does in other areas of “Ethnic Rhinoplasty.” Some surgeons think that African American patients seeking Rhinoplasty must necessarily be seeking “westernization” or “Caucasian-ization” Rhinoplasty. These surgeons essentially try to forcefully create unnaturally sharply defined noses using plastic implants or over-aggressive Reductive Rhinoplasty. Tragically, noses of celebrities like the late Michael Jackson and his sister Latoya Jackson are extreme examples of this ill-advised approach. These patients’ unfortunate Rhinoplasty results are clear evidence of the dangers of poorly guided patients relying on unskilled surgeons. Such deformities could likely have been prevented by proper education and counseling of patients, and by Plastic Surgeons who should have been able to refuse surge
