Liposuction is the number one cosmetic plastic surgery procedure performed. It should be performed in a hospital, ambulatory surgery center, or an accredited surgical facility. Be leery of liposuction preformed in a doctor’s office and check credentials of the surgeon.

The key to achieving a patient’s desired look is understanding what the patient is hoping for and designing a sound surgical procedure. If you want to know if your surgeon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, call 1-888-4-PLASTIC.

The ultrasound liposuction technique still involves a variation of the standard cannula and the tumescent technique, but also adds an ultrasound current to the tip of the cannula. The ultrasound current further dissolves fat and probably improves results for certain areas.

What are even more important in liposuction are the skills, experience and artistic judgment of the plastic surgeon performing the procedure. Understanding male vs. female fat distribution, recognizing end points, utilizing different cannula techniques, and sculpturing are far more important issues.

Persons who undergo plastic surgery before time and gravity causes signs of aging appear to age more slowly. A facelift, which includes the neck, will lessen deeper folds, give a stronger jaw line without the jowls, and provide for a more youthful neck. Plus, performing a face lift early a person is able to enjoy the benefits of youthfulness during their 50s and 60s, rather than waiting to their 60s or 70s to turn back the clock. An eyelid lift added to a facelift, plus an advanced skin care program, is often an ideal way to turn that clock back 10 or 20 years.

An eyelid lift can help improve most of these findings. An upper lift can remove excess skin and some fat, giving a smoother, youthful look with a better-defined eyelid fold. On the lower eyelid, removal of fat pockets and tightening of the skin can greatly improve the tired, bag look. The dark circles, which are partly due to shadowing are improved with removal of the bags and wrinkles. Some pigmentation changes can be further lightened with skin care products.

The roundness in the upper half of the breasts that is often considered undesirable can be due to several factors including placement of the saline implant on top of the muscle, placing very large implants, or not making the implant pocket big enough to accommodate the implant. Saline implants tend to be rigid so softening of the contour is achieved by going under the muscle.
