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.

Get Sexier Just in Time for Valentine’s Day
Valentines day is the perfect holiday to show the person you love just how much you really do love them. If you have a sexy surprise getaway planned for you and your significant other, make sure that you get your body in the best shape and condition as possible by following these steps.
- Sexy Pout
Nothing is quite as endearing as showing off a sexy pout on Valentine’s night. By choosing either Restylane or Juvederm, you can get fuller, plumper, and yes, even sexier lips in no time. However, it is advised that you get these lip injections at least a few days before Valentine’s day in order to get rid of any pain or swelling at the injection site. - Perkier Breasts
Unless you don’t plan on seeing your significant other for at least a few weeks before Valentines day, perkier breasts aren’t necessarily a procedure that you can hide until Valentine’s day. However, perkier breasts will not only make you look and feel sexier, but they will also make your significant other feel that much more attracted to you. In order to be fully ready to show off your new breasts on Valentines day, make sure that you schedule your appointment at least a few weeks before Valentine’s day— that way you aren’t in recovery mode during the holiday. - Tighter Looking Body
Another great way to feel and look sexier on Valentine’s day is by getting the tighter body that you’ve always wanted. Whether your abdomen is a bit looser due to childbirth or excess weight, liposuction is the perfect treatment solution to tone and tighten your middle section. However, just like with breast enhancement surgery it’s important to schedule your liposuction for at least a few weeks before Valentine’s day so that you can fully show off your body outside of recovery.
Make this Valentine’s day a little more special and treat yourself— and your significant other— to a new and sexier body. To learn more about these surgical procedures and more, contact our office today!

How to Get Rid of Your Dad Bod
With pictures of Leonardo Dicaprio surfacing across the Internet bearing his less than flattering “dad bod,” it has a lot of men questioning “Oh no. Is that what I look like without a shirt on?” Yes, while famous celebrities with loads of money and fame like Mr. Dicaprio might be able to get away from this infamous body type, the average Jo is less likely to receive anything short of an insult when bearing a similar resemblance. If you have either let your body go or if you have suddenly noticed the appearance of man boobs, don’t waste another minute and learn more about male breast gynecomastia surgery.
What is Male Breast Gynecomastia?
Male breast gynecomastia is a medical condition in which men develop the appearance of breasts either due to excessive weight gain or due to taking weight training supplements like steroids.
How Can It Be Treated?
Due to the embarrassing nature of male breast gynecomastia, it’s priority for many men to seek treatment as soon as possible. If you suffer from male breast gynecomastia, schedule an appointment with one of our specialists today. In order to properly treat male breast gynecomastia, you will have to undergo a surgical treatment that involves removing the fat and breast tissue that have developed around your breasts. After the excess fat and tissue has been removed, you will be stitched up and ready to start the healing process.
What is Recovery Time Like?
Similar to the healing process of female breast reduction surgery, you will be required to wear a compression wrap or shirt that will hold your breast area in place so that it can properly heal. You will also be restricted from things like heavy lifting, exercise, and lifting your arms above your head for long periods of time. Recovery from this surgery is usually around 2-4 weeks but it can vary depending on your specific body.
Although the term “dad bod” might be endearing to those that are rich and famous, it’s a term that can cause an awful lot of embarrassment for the average man. If you suffer from male breast gynecomastia and don’t want to live another day filled with embarrassment, contact our office today to schedule a consultation.
