Is Your Surgeon Really Qualified?

When you are considering having surgery, one of the most important factors you should consider is whether your surgeon is trained and board certified.    Unfortunately, in Utah there are many Doctors who advertise that they prform the full array of cosmetic surgeries such as breast augentations, tummy tucks, facelifts, etc. and assert that they are board certified.    And they are board certified, but not in cosmetic surgery.   Many of these  Doctors are board certified in Oral surgery, Family Practice medicine, Internal medicine, or Emergency Medicine.   They have taken a short course in liposuction, or other techniques and now advertise that they are qualified and certified to perform these procedures.   Before having any surgery, just make sure that your Doctor  has the training and experience to handle any complications or problems that may occur.   No one ever expects to have a problem, but they do rarely happen.   And when they do it's comforting to know that your Doc is fully trained and experienced in how to get you through it. 

financing is possible

Did you know that there are lending extablishments that focus on lending money for cosmetic procedures?   If you've ever wanted a procedure done, maybe breast augmentation or getting rid of the hanging skin on your abdomen after child bearing, but knew that you couldn't swing the financing all at once, but at a low monthly rate it was possible, you ought to look into financing options.  Go to our web site (sellersplasticsurgery.com) and click on financing and see what's available.   It might be the difference between being able to do it and not being able to.

Can I still nurse after breast augmentation surgery?

One question that we get asked at almost every breast augmentation consultation is "will I be able to breast feed after this surgery?" The breast implants are put almost always under the muscle so that the glands and breast tissue are still completely intact. Therefore, you should be able to breast feed as well as you could before the surgery. (There are a limited number of women that are unable to nurse with or without surgery).

Full face Laser Resurfacing

The one procedure that can turn back the clock for your face and actually change the texture of your skin is the CO 2 laser resurfacing procedure. It's the most agressive of the facial lasers, but it gives you the greatest result as well. You can spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on milder laser treatments and still end up with less improvement than one treatment with the co2 laser. No question about it you look pretty rough for 10-14 days, but the result is well worth the sacrifice. The new skin is smooth and fresh. Come in and see some of our photos that are very helpful in explaining the whole process and the result you can expect.

Eyelids

A patient came in to the office the other day and was very discouraged. She obviously took good care of herself--eating right, exercising, etc. But she said that not a day goes by that someone doesn't ask her if she got any sleep last night. Daily she gets comments about how tired she looks. Her problem is very heavy eyelids that make her look tired and even cranky. It's amazing how refreshed and rested and calm she looks with her lids pulled up. Upper eyelids can even be done in the office. Within a couple of weeks she'll look like she feels.

Do you have heavy eyelids?

Spring is springing

I love spring. It is always so cheering to the spirit to feel the sunshine on your face again after all the cold and clouds of the winter. Even though this winter has been one of the mildest on record--spring is very welcome. With the warmth comes turning our hearts to short sleeves, shorts , tank tops, swimming suits etc. As we don our new apparel we become aware that we may may have some "shape " issues that we've been covering up with heavy sweaters, coats, long sleeved shirts and (heaven forbid) sweat pants. It's not too late to address some of the lumps and bumps through liposuction and tightening, lifting procedures. Come talk to Dr. Sellers about what can be done. (Tax refund special --15% off Doctor fee of one procedure if scheduled and completed by April 30th)

Kids and Tummies

It's a wonderful thing to have a baby. A baby changes your life forever---mentally and physically. It seems like after you've given birth (even if your weight's the same as before) things do not seem to be in the same place. Breasts and tummies are never quite the same again. If your little bundle of joy has given you lots of extra stretchy skin on your tummy or your breasts are empty and droopy : do not despair. There are things that can be done to restore you to your pre-mother shape. Tummy tucks and liposuction are wonderful for giving you your waist back. Breasts can be lifted and shaped. Sometimes a woman needs a breast implant to give her that youthful fullness she misses. Don't be miserable. Check out wht Dr. Sellers could do for you.
