3 Myths Busted About Your Bust

Sunday, 28 February 2016 by admin

In this digital age it can be hard to decipher between fact and fiction. With so much information readily at our fingertips, you can easily become misinformed and create an opinion without much standing. And when it comes to the world of plastic surgery, there are even more myths that you don’t want to fall victim of. Here are three myths associated with breast implants.

Implants Have to Be Large

In fact, a good and trusted plastic surgeon will not only listen to the breast size that you are hoping for but will ensure that your new breasts fit your frame and figure— so you don’t look like you’re about to top over.

Silicone Implants Aren’t Safe

Although this might have been true during the 80’s and 90’s, this statement is now a myth. After people were falling ill due to ruptured silicone implants, they were taken off of the plastic surgery market and then reintroduced as a safer model. Now, not only are silicone implants safe for patients but they also provide patients with a more natural looking breast appearance.

You Can’t Breastfeed With Implants

If you’ve been putting off getting breast implants until after you’re done having kids in fear that you might not be able to breastfeed, you can assure yourself that is a myth as well. In fact, getting breast implants should not have any effect on your milk ducts or your body’s ability to produce milk.

It’s easy to fall victim of Internet myths that really have no standing in real life. However, by understanding fact from fiction, you can help to make a more educated decision regarding your body and breast enhancement surgery.

Plump Up Your Pout Just In Time for Valentine’s Day

Monday, 15 February 2016 by admin

Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that you either love or hate— people with someone to share the day with enjoy it more than single individuals who feel like it’s just a reminder that they don’t have anyone special to share the day with. This year, treat yourself to the best Valentine’s Day yet and plump up your pout— whether you’re single or have someone to share the holiday with, your sexier lips will make you feel more confident and self-aware.

Are Lip Plumpers Permanent?

Lip plumpers, known as fillers in the cosmetic industry, are not permanent and depending on both the type of filler you get and how your body responds to the filler can last around 6-12 months. However, if you are looking for a lip treatment that is more permanent, consider getting something like silicone lip implants.

What type of filler should I use?

Made from a natural substance that our bodies produce called hyaluronic acid, Restylane is not only safe to use for your lips but it will also give you more natural looking results.

What is the procedure like?

Unlike other cosmetic procedures that require patients to have some down time in order to recover, lip fillers like Restylane can be done quickly and with virtually no pain at all—- in fact, you can even get your lips done on your lunch break. During the procedure, your doctor will likely add a topical numbing gel to your lips in order to help alleviate any sort of pain or discomfort. Once the numbing gel has started to sink in, the doctor will then inject the Restylane into different parts of your lips using a needle and syringe.

Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to amp up your overall appearance and give yourself that sexy pout you have always desired. To learn more about lip fillers or to schedule an appointment, contact our office today!
