A recent study conducted by Dr. Katie Elizabeth Weichman of New York University has concluded that a breast lift procedure may reduce bra-cup size. Research revealed that women tend to wear the wrong bra-cup sizes most of the time, especially women with sagging breast tissue. A larger bra-cup size can feel more comfortable for women with excess skin around their breasts. Once the skin is removed, a woman will feel more comfortable wearing her true bra-cup size.

Breast lifts are becoming increasingly popular among women in the US. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 90,000 women underwent the procedure in 2012. Women prefer a breast lift procedure over a breast augmentation because the procedure uses their own breast tissue.

The new study revealed results that women may not have expected. It could be an issue for some women that their bra-cup size may reduce after the procedure. It is imperative that women talk with their doctors before getting the procedure done. Every woman needs to be fully aware of the risks of the procedure.

The average age was 47 years old within the 20 women that participated in the study. Each woman underwent solely a breast lift procedure. The women were studied over a five-year time period. Women were asked their bra-cup size before the surgery and at each follow-up appointment. There was an average decrease of one bra-cup size. During the study each woman only wore a single brand of bra. This was to prevent the varying sizes that different brands can cause.

Only a single patient reported to have an increase in bra size. However, this was due to hormone therapy and weight gain. This was considered when evaluating the bra-cup size. Overall, every woman was satisfied with their breast lift procedure.

For women that are currently not pleased with their appearance of their breasts, a breast lift procedure may be the right option for you. It is important that every woman is aware of the risks of the procedure. Ask your doctor about the possibility of change in size after the procedure.

Increase in Using Botox injections

Botox injection and other inject-able fillers have become increasingly popular in the US recently. More people are opting to get fillers over a face lift procedure. Botox recently has secured the number one spot as the most common non-surgical cosmetic procedure. Over six million injections were performed in the year 2012, a statistic from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The number of face lifts done the same year was only about 120,000.

So many more people are opting for the non-surgical route for many reasons. For one, the convenience. Going under for a face lift surgery can take weeks to recover. This means that you will be out of work for an extended period of time. If you have children this can make taking care of them more difficult. Getting a Botox or other inject able filler can be done on a lunch break. Yes, that’s right. You can literally go on your lunch break, get the injections, and then return to work feeling just fine. The recovery time for a face injection is virtually nothing.

Another reason why more people prefer inject-able fillers is that they are able to be customized. You can get Botox injected in whatever part of your face you wish and it won’t affect the rest of your face. There are different options for products, too. You can get muscle relaxers injected to help smooth away wrinkles or you can get filler injected to enhance the appearance of your lips. The possibilities are seemingly endless. A face lift can’t offer the same outcome. Also, the face lift procedure affects your entire face. You can’t simply get your wrinkles lifted when you go under.

Also with Botox and inject-able fillers you can start small. You have the option to begin with just one and if you like it you can always go back for more. A face lift is all or nothing. Also, Botox and inject-able fillers do not last forever. You have to get them redone every few years. So if you don’t like the way it looks the first time, you don’t have to get it redone.

Because Botox and inject-able fillers aren’t performed in surgery, the risks are much lower. Botox has risks of causing dry eye, drooping eyelid, crooked smile or cockeyed eyebrows. Face lifts can cause swelling, bruising, scarring and the pain after surgery can be unbearable. Botox does not cause any pain.

Using Botox and inject- able fillers are much more cost efficient. Because a face lift requires you to go under anesthesia, you have to pay a lot more. Also, the recovery time can be costly because you will have to miss work for a week or two. A facial rejuvenation procedure is much cheaper. Also, the recovery time won’t cost you anything.

If you are considering using Botox or other inject-able fillers, you should schedule a consultation with Reynolds Plastic Surgery. The Las Vegas plastic surgeon can answer any questions you may have about the procedure. Dr. Reynolds is a board certified plastic surgeon, so you can be sure that the procedure is going to be done right. For more information, contact 702.410.9800.

Rhinoplasty is a fairly common procedure among women in the US. Many women wish to undergo nose surgery because they want a smaller nose.

There are various reasons why women choose to get a breast augmentation. Some simply wish to have bigger and fuller breasts, whereas others had to get a mastectomy for breast cancer. Breast augmentation in Las Vegas can be done with the help of doctors at Reynolds Reconstruction. Before going under the knife, it is important to know all the facts.

Types of implant

There are two types of implants used for a breast augmentation: saline and silicone. Your Las Vegas plastic surgeon can discuss with you the benefits and risks of each one.

The FDA requires a woman to be at least 18 years of age to get the saline implant and at least 22 years of age for the silicone implant. Saline implants are typically filled after they are implanted. This means there will be less visible scarring. Depending on the surgeon, your body type, implant type and size of enlargement, the incision will either be made around the areola, under the breast or through the armpit.

Recovery

Again, recovery depends on all the different factors involved. Typically, pain will subside after a few days.

You will need to wear an elastic bandage over your breasts or a support bra to reduce the swelling. You will need to wear it for at least a week.

Maintenance

Unfortunately, breast implants will not last a lifetime.

The doctor can be sure that there is no silent rupture in the implant with the MRI scans. Typically an implant will last around 15 years. Even if the implant never ruptures, you may still need to get the implant replaced at some point in your life. This is simply due to the aging process. Skin may sag in unattractive ways around the implant. Change in hormones or weight fluctuation can also have an effect on your implants.
