The Manly Man: Laser Hair Removal For Men
Being a man comes with a lot of predisposed criteria that you must fit. There’s the manly man: the one with the full beard who carries an ax. The sensitive man: The one who has a shoulder to cry on. And the ladies man: The guy who knows what to say to get any woman. But what do each of these men have in common? The desire to look good and feel comfortable in their own way. And with things like excessive back hair or ingrown facial/neck hair, it is impossible to feel your best all the time. Luckily we at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants offer laser hair removal to help all types of men to look their best. Read on to learn more.
Where Can It Be Done?
When people typically think of laser hair removal, they think of women flocking to the spa to get their legs, bikini area, or even their underarms done. And although laser hair removal is predominantly popular amongst the female crowd, it can also be done on men to remove hair from their legs, arms, backs, neck, and even parts of the face.
What Is It Like?
As a non-invasive procedure, laser hair removal is performed in the office without any outpatient recovery time. When you first arrive at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants to get the procedure done, a topical numbing cream will be applied to your skin to help ease any pain or discomfort you may feel. Additionally, you will be required to wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from the laser— even if you are getting it done on your backside. Then, the technician or doctor will start the process. During the actual process, you can expect it to feel like rubber bands flicking your skin over and over again. Although uncomfortable, patients say that they quickly get used to the sensation which makes it easier to cope.
What Are Results Like?
Depending on the area you are targeting and the type of hair you have, you will have to undergo multiple sessions. Once you have completed the required amount of treatments, you will be eager to show off your hair-free skin.
Dealing with excessive or unwanted hair is beyond annoying. If you would like to learn more about laser hair removal for men, contact the experts at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants today!

3 Tips for Maintaining Liposuction Results During the Holidays
Getting rid of stubborn areas of fat around your body can help you feel like you’ve finally made it— after all of that dieting and exercise, you now have the body to prove it all. And as one of the most effective ways of removing stubborn fat, undergoing liposuction from Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants can help you to look like a million bucks. However, as one of the most dreaded times of the year by individuals who have recently lost weight, the holiday season can be tricky. Luckily, with the three tips listed below, you can help to keep off any extra weights and maintain your liposuction results all season long. Read on to learn more.
- Indulge a Little
One of the biggest mistakes that dieters make is to deprive themselves of everything good and crave-worthy, which typically results in them falling of the wagon and eating way too much sugar or greasy food all at once. Take a healthier and more realistic approach to your holiday dieting plan this season and remember that it’s okay to indulge a little. For example, if you are going to a holiday party and they have some cake that you love, have a small slice— you don’t need to have a giant slice or even two slices to curb your craving— one small slice should do the trick. - Increase Your Activity
If you know yourself and you know that you may be snacking more or eating more desserts during the holidays, then increase your activity to help compensate for those additional calories. For instance, if you typically go to the gym 3 times a week, up it to 5 times per week until the holidays are over. - Cut Out Carbs When You Can
You aren’t new to the world of dieting and you know that cutting carbs is one of the fastest and easiest ways to lose weight. So, this holiday season, rather than eating dip with chips, switch to vegetables. And rather than eating another piece of pie, switch to greek yogurt instead. By cutting down on carbs and increasing your protein intake, you can substantially reduce the likelihood that you’ll gain any excess weight this season.
The holiday season doesn’t have to be a nightmare for individuals who are trying to keep weight off. By following the tips listed above, you can help to keep your liposuction results strong all year long.

Just for the Look of It: How To wear Your New Nose With Confidence
When it comes down to things like getting a nose job many people claim to be getting one because they have a deviated septum. Causing things like breathing through your nose when you are sleeping, a deviated septum can result in things such as a dry mouth, snoring, and the inability to breathe properly. But let’s face it, not everyone who is getting a nose job is going to have a deviated septum like they may claim. If you want to get a nose job but don’t have a medical purpose behind it, don’t be scared to own up to the fact that you are simply doing it “just for the of it.” Read on to learn more.
Own It
If you have spent your entire life feeling self conscious about the shape or size of your nose, then you owe it to yourself to get a nose job. And although some of your friends or family might not understand the want or need for you to have this type of surgery, be upfront with them and own your decision. The more honest and confident you are regarding your decision to get a nose job, the better.
Wear It With Confidence
After you get your new nose job, don’t try to hide the fact that you got it done, but instead embrace your decision and wear it with confidence. The first time you go back to work or are in front of friends, hold your head a little higher and show off your new nose— after all, you deserve to look and feel as confident as ever.
Remember that It’s Your Decision
Unfortunately we live in a society where we are constantly seeking the approval of others in order to feel good about ourselves. However, this kind of mentality can be damaging. If you are getting flack from family and friends regarding your decision to make a cosmetic change to your face by getting a nose job, try to ignore them as much as possible and remember that it’s your decision and your decision alone to get it done.
When it comes to things like getting plastic surgery done just for the look of it, there are many people who are quick to judge. However, it’s important to remember that it’s your body and your face, and you can do what you want with it. By holding your head high and owning your decision, you can help to feel more confident about your decision to get a new nose.

Is Your Skin On the Loose? Tighten It Back Up With Two Surgical Procedures
It can seem like the more you age, the looser your body becomes. Not only are things like your buttocks a little more loose but your skin is as well. From the skin on your stomach to the skin around your face, it can feel a little more than depressing to see your skin start to lose elasticity. Luckily, here at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants, we offer a variety of surgical treatments that can be used in order to tighten your otherwise loose skin. Read on to learn more.
Tummy Tuck
As you age, you have to face the inevitable: your skin loses its natural elasticity and sometimes can resemble more of a bowl of jello than actual skin— especially the area around your middle. And if you have had children and been through at least one pregnancy, then the skin around your middle section can really start to lose it’s elastin and form. Luckily, by getting a tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) done, you can get your taut stomach back in virtually no time at all. By removing excess skin and fat from the abdominal region and then tightening the skin by lifting it a little, a tummy tuck will give you results that you would otherwise never be able to achieve— no matter how much lotion or firming gel that you use.
Facelift
Have you started to notice that the skin around your face is starting to look a little looser? Have you looked in the mirror on more than one occasion only to think that you are starting to resemble more of a turkey than a human due to old age? If so, you are not alone. In fact, it is only a natural part of the aging process to lose the collagen and elastin in your face and neck. Luckily through a facelift, you can help to lift and tighten the skin around your face and neck in order to give you back the face that you recognize.
Aging doesn’t have to be a depressing process. That’s why here at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants, we offer surgical procedures to help restore your skin back to its once youthful self. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, contact Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants today.

Understanding a Bit More About Cleft Palate During Your Pregnancy
Pregnancy in and of itself can be an extremely anxiety ridden time— not only are you constantly worried about the health of your baby but also about the new life changes it is going to bring to your family once your baby is born. However, if you find out that your baby has some health issues while in utero, then your anxiety will be even more magnified. As a birth defect that affects approximately 1 in 600 babies, cleft palate is a condition that occurs when both the left and the right side on the roof of your mouth don’t join correctly. If you have recently found out that your child has a cleft palate, one of the best things that you can do to stay calm is to be informed. Read on to learn more about cleft palate.
How Does It Occur?
During the first trimester of your pregnancy, your baby’s cleft will typically develop and will show during your first major ultrasound. If, however, there is either some sort of either hereditary or environmental impact on your child during this stage, then their palate might not fully develop and they may have a cleft palate.
What Does a Cleft Palate Mean Exactly?
When considering the ramifications of having a cleft palate, it’s important to know what this will mean for the development of your child. Having a cleft palate can cause things like eating, speaking to become very difficult— which could cause your child to have to use something like a feeding tube in order to get the proper nutrition that they need.
Can It Be Fixed?
The best news about your child having a cleft palate is that the experts at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants can fix your child’s cleft palate at around 9 weeks. During a surgical procedure, your child’s palate will be rebuilt and close off so that they can speak and chew just like normal. In fact, with surgery and some speech therapy, your child should not have any difficulty further down the line.
If your child has a cleft palate and you just found out during your pregnancy, contact the experts at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants to have your questions answered.

How to Prepare Your Child for An Otoplasty
If your child’s ears protrude a bit farther away from their head and they are self-conscious about them or they consistently get made fun of at school, then you may want to consider scheduling an otoplasty for them. As a surgery designed to help essentially pin back your child’s ears so that they sit a bit closer to their head, otoplasty is a life changing surgical treatment that will give your child permanent results. However, although the results are enough to make your child jump for joy, the very thought of undergoing surgery can be enough to give your child a bit of anxiety. From discussing the surgical procedure to understanding what recovery will be like, this article will discuss some of the ways that you can prepare your child for an otoplasty.
Discuss the Procedure
Nothing will help ease your child’s anxiety quite like answering their questions and letting them know what they can expect from their surgery. As a great tool, your child’s doctor at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants can sit down with you and your child pre-surgery in order to go over what they can expect from the surgery itself— also during this time, your child can ask one of our surgical expert any questions that they may have.
An Incentive
Children love to have something to look forward to— as we all do. As a great way to get your child through their surgery, offer them some sort of incentive. For instance, have them pick out their favorite ice cream from the grocery store beforehand and let them have some when they get out of surgery. Or, take them to the toy store beforehand and let them pick out a new toy that they can play with once they are out of surgery and in recovery.
Explain Recovery
As one of the most important steps of any surgical process, recovery is key. As another way to ease your child’s anxieties, explain to your child what they can expect from the recovery process. For instance, explain to them that they will have to stay in bed for a few days afterwards and watch movies, and that they will have to wear a bandage over their head and around their ears as they heal.
Undergoing surgery is intense for anyone, especially children. help ease your child’s anxieties regarding surgery by following the tips lifted above. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, contact our Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants office today!
