See my new smile!






Face lifts are very individualized procedures. In your initial consultation the surgeon will evaluate your face, including the skin and underlying bone, and discuss your goals for the surgery. The exact placement of incisions and the sequence of events depend on your facial structure and your surgeon's technique.



Incisions usually begin above the hairline at the temples, extend in a natural line in front of the ear (or just inside the cartilage at the front of the ear), and continue behind the earlobe to the lower scalp. If the neck needs work, a small incision may also be made under the chin.



In general, the surgeon separates the skin from the fat and muscle below. Fat may be trimmed or suctioned from around the neck and chin to improve the contour. The surgeon then tightens the underlying muscle and membrane, pulls the skin back, and removes the excess. Stitches secure the layers of tissue and close the incisions; metal clips may be used on the scalp.

Do you like my new breast?

Many women often mention the breasts when asked what part of the body they would most like to change. Women who are unhappy with their breast size feel self conscious about their appearance and even dress in a way to mask the problem. Our society is quick to cast opinions down on people by their appearance which exacerbates the problem. Sagging, drooping breasts can alter the overall shape of the body and some women, particularly those who are older or who have nursed children, suddenly find their hour glass figures gone.
The cosmetic surgery industry now has a variety of improved technology and surgical procedures in breast enlargement procedures. There are currently a variety of individualized options for changing the size and shape of breasts and thousands of people are cashing in on it. Americans spend millions of dollars on breast enlargement procedures each year. In 2003, breast enlargement surgery was the second most popular surgery procedure. Like breast reduction surgery
, the benefits of breast enlargement procedures are many. A successful procedure can:
Increase fullness and shape of the breasts
Enhance body shape and overall balance of the body
Improve self-image and self confidence
Correct abnormalities resulting from surgery
