Breast Augmentation Recovery

Breast augmentation recovery, like most surgeries, begins before the procedure. Prospective patients should be in good health and will undergo a thorough history and physical with the surgeon prior to the procedure.

These, among others, are considerations discussed during a typical consultation with a Plastic Surgeon.

Permanent Lip Augmentation

Rather than using silicone or a temporary filler, a plastic surgeon can use your own fat for lip augmentation. The procedure is similar to body contouring (link), where fat is removed from different places on your body like the belly, back and thighs. Once the fat is removed, it’s refined and then injected into your lips in various places to create the lips you want. The fat can also be injected into facial wrinkles and other place on your face to rejuvenate the skin and produce a more youthful and natural appearance.

What is a butt lift?

A “butt lift” is a procedure under body contouring. To get wider hips or a rounder butt, a plastic surgeon will use liposuction to remove fat from one part of your body, refine it and then re-inject it into another part of the body by way of fat grafting. By removing fat and adding fat to different places on the body, the plastic surgeon can get a desired effect like wider hips or rounder butt.
