Weight Loss vs. Liposuction

Did you know that we have most of the fat cells we're ever going to have by the time we're 1 or 2 years old? After that we just fill them up with fat or shrink them up when we reduce. Unfortunately, statistics prove that the vast majority of people who lose weight have put it back on (often with additional weight) within 4-5 years. That can be pretty discouraging. While liposuction is not a weight loss plan, it can be a valuable tool in changing your shape. When fat is removed from an area through liposuction, those fat cells are no longer a factor because they are gone. Even if you did gain some weight you will always maintain the new shape because the "storage units" are gone---forever.
Liposuction is the procedure to change the shape that you genetically have been given. So if Mother Nature ordains that you have saddle bags on the sides of your thighs, liposuction can reduce those storage centers changing that particular shape. It's a great procedure---one of the most popular cosmetic procedures preformed in the United States and the World today.

Skin Issues

Is your skin kind of blotchy with uneven skin tone and spots? For almost no down time you might really like an IPL treatment. Intense Pulse Light treatment is a laser treatment where the laser energy penetrates down into the lower levels of the skin and attack the melatonin in the skin. These discolorations then darken and rise to the top where they can be rubbed off with a hydrafacial or a midroderm scrub. This leaves your skin fabulously smooth and clearer. You will look totally refreshed. And who doesn't need som skin spiffing up in the dark of the winter. Give it a try. You'll be very surprized and pleased at how a series of three can make your skin look and feel.
Try it--You'll like it!

Refurbishing your face and eyes

Do you hate having your picture taken? Is it because of your eyes that make you always look so tired? Or maybe it's that jawline that used to be one of your best features and now is droopy and looks like Grandma Evelyn's. Do you have bulging lower eyelids and crepy looking cheeks? Do you just look old and tired? Each one of these things can be addressed by a procedure. Sometimes a Quicklift will give you back your youth and make you look as young as you still feel inside. Maybe even having your upper eyelids done or a laser resurfacing will give you that youthful skin again. Why wait? Winter's a great time to "do things".

Unbelievable Eyelashes

Have you heard about Latisse? It's the latest, greatest thing for eyelashes. If you would like to honestly have longer, darker and more eyelashes you ought to try it. You just put a drop along your lash line each night before you go to bed and let the Latisse do the rest. All of us in the office have tried it with consistent great results. It takes a few weeks to get your best results, so get started now.

Swimsuits are coming!

As I look out my window right now, it's snowing and finally looks like winter. But, as we all know, time flies and before we even know it it will be spring. And with spring comes the dreaded (at least for some) swim suit season. Be ready for it this year! Don't spend another season trying to figure out how to stuff that halter top. Now's the time to get your breasts ready. This is a great time to get a breast augmentation or lift. By the time you're completely healed the season will be upon us. Don't delay. The process takes a little while. So call now and get an appointment and let's get underway. It makes all the difference in your confidence level.

Breast Reconstruction

I don't think there's much in life that's more terrifying for a woman than a diagnosis of breast cancer. I can be very frightening. It seems that you are immediately thrown into an arena where everyone is asking you what you want to do, when you want to do it and who you want to do it. Although it is terribly upsetting, a woman would be well served to stop for just a minute and consider what her best options are for after the mastectomy (if that is what is being done) It is very wise to stop for a minute and visit with a plastic surgeon about your options for reconstruction. Many times with the general surgeon working together with the plastic surgeon from the very first , the very best result can be achieved. Know what your options are. Don't panic. Get some information so that you can make the choice that will be best for you. Every woman is unique and your treatment is going to be unique, too.

Though it is an extremely upsetting time, taking a little time to do some research on reconstruction can serve you well in the future.

Well, we hope everyone had a wonderful, peaceful holiday season. Though we enjoy the hustle and bustle of the season, it's nice to get back to a regular routine, too. After the holidays, is a wonderful time to have any kind of cosmetic surgery. Winter weather keeps us indoors more anyway, so now's a great time for procedures like full face laser resurfacings, facelifts and eyelids. It's also the time to have your breasts and body procedures done so you'll be all recovered in time for spring fashions and activities. So, come see Dr. Sellers and get started on your new goals.
