Breast Reduction Surgery

Many patients that come in to visit with the Doctor about breast reduction surgery have thought about it for a long time--sometimes several years--but have now come to the point that they just can't stand it anymore and want to do something.   Breast reduction surgery has a very high satisfaction rate.   I can't think of anyone who has ever had it done that hasn't been very happy with the surgery and it's results.   Almost immediately, the back, neck, and shoulder pain is reduced.   Most women find that the discomfort associated with their surgery is less that what they expected.   Most women are pleasantly surprised that within a few days they are up and about living their daily  lives.   Don't put it off if you've been thinking about it.   At least get your questions answered and find out if it's the right procedure for you.   Make sure that you find a surgeon that's board certified and has a lot of experience in breast surgery.   It makes a lot of difference in the final results.  

Full Face Laser Resurfacing

As we age, our skin starts to sag and wrinkle especially in our face.   Our skin gets lots and lots of little wrinkles that resemble crepe paper.  We get major sagging, too.,  Jowling and  deep creases from our noses and chin develop.  Our necks suffer, too.  We lose the fat pads in our cheeks and just start to look old.  A full face laser resurfacing is a marvelous treatment to actually change the texture of the skin.,   It erases the crepey little wrinkles around the mouth and eyes.  It makes the cheeks smooth again.  There is no question that there is some down time for recovery.   We recommend about 10 days to 2 weeks of staying home in a protective environment.  When it's mostly healed you can start applying some good makeup and sunscreen and get back into life.   There are lots of different lasers out in the world.   Many advertise little downtime or recovery.  The benefit that you get from a laser treatment is usually equivalent to the amount of recovery needed.  If your skin is only pink for the afternoon after treatment you get very little if any real result.   If you want dramatic results, a full face CO2 resurfacing laser is the answer.   So many of the other lasers require at least 2-3 treatment to achieve their maximum benefit.   But, even after 3 treatments,( which ends up being at least as expensive as the CO2 laser)  the benefit is minimal.  A full face resurfacing laser requires only 1 treatment for maximum-amazing- results.  Talk to someone who can give you accurate information on your choices.  Do not fall prey to advertising that would make you think that it's possible to get fabulous, incredible results from any laser with no down time. Understand the actual costs and results before you spend your money on something that  It's just not possible.
