Scar Tissue or Collagen Formation??

by

Collagen formation has been a hot topic in past years, and for good reasons. Did you know including extra collagen in your diet is an excellent way to maintain a youthful look? We also utilize collagen production here at Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery for several different procedures.

Particularly with acne scarring, Dr. Davis addresses resurfacing acne scars by using lasers to stimulate collagen production. In a controlled fashion, burning skin with a laser will result in extra scar tissue, which in turn heals with new collagen.

Want to learn more? On today’s episode of “The Plastic Surgery Revolution,” Dr. Steven Davis discusses the topic of pairing both scar tissue and collagen formation. He dives into how certain treatments can use the two to heal scars and bring back a youthful, vibrant look.

Recovering from Pandemic-Related Body Dysmorphia

by

We’re finally returning to a sense of normalcy, and our practice is filling up with new patients. After a long year of staring at ourselves all day on Zoom calls, it’s easier than ever to notice imperfections on your face or your body. Dr. Davis is here to remind you that these imperfections aren’t always a cause of concern.

As people begin to shake hands and interact face to face, pandemic-related body dysmorphia is becoming more and more prevalent. At Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, we’re always happy to help you feel your best and look even better, but don’t let minuscule imperfections get you down.

For more on pandemic-related body dysmorphia, watch board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Davis on YouTube or subscribe to our podcast to learn more about the world of plastic surgery.

[Transcript]

Hi everyone. Now that the pandemic is starting to slow down a little bit, we’re starting to see a whole different crowd of patients that are starting to come in. And a lot of this has to do with trying to now get back to a more normal lifestyle. So for a long time, we were seeing patients that were really only seeing themselves and communicating with people via different kinds of zoom calls and things where you were actually looking at a screen at each other.

But now that you know, you’re gonna be going back to see your fellow employees, you’re gonna go back to see clients and other people, you really are starting to think about how you look in like person. And one of the things that we’re noting is that even though that idea of a dysmorphia, sometimes it was being called Snapchat dysmorphia or Zoom dysmorphia, some of it really is true. And some of it is really pulled out of complete context.

And what I want you to understand is when you’re staring at yourself very closely for hours of the day on a Zoom call, a lot of times you’re gonna see some imperfections that really no one else is spotting except you. And you’re looking at yourself for an extended period of time.

So when you come in and talk about that, if it isn’t something that your plastic surgeon, somebody like me, would be able to really see, don’t have them try to fix that because I think you’re gonna end up just looking a little bit more odd than you thought.

Second thing is, you actually may have something that you discovered by staring at yourself so long. And that is something that if your plastic surgeon is identifying with you, that could definitely be something that gets fixed. And look at that. You’ve actually uncovered something that may have always been there, that you never really noticed before. Now you can look so much better.

But think about it also from seeing people in person now, because a lot of body type dysmorphia is also something that we’re starting to see. When our patients are coming in and they may have gained a significant amount of weight over this pandemic.

If you need some help with that kind of stuff, don’t hesitate to reach out to your plastic surgeon or to get some help from someone in order to help train you in that ability to like lose a little bit of weight, get back on maybe a diet and exercise regimen.

But don’t forget that there are some great tools that we have to help you kind of slim down and look better in your clothing and even on the beach. So take that for what it’s worth and just understand that for now, we are getting back to seeing more and more people that have not only facial, but body type things that we can address and have you back to work very quickly.

Dr. Steven Davis of Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery in Cherry Hill, New Jersey wants to ensure the comfort of all patients, which begins with education. We hope our video series can provide useful information for those with upcoming appointments or interested in the behind-the-scenes action of plastic surgery.

Plastic Surgery that is for You….and Only You

by

So many patients come in with concerns that a plastic surgery procedure they are interested in will get overdone or not meet a partner’s expectations. Here at Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, we always encourage patients to bring in their spouses so we can explain exactly what the outcome of a procedure will look like.

It’s no secret that there are many “botched” plastic surgery jobs on reality TV. Whether it’s enlarged lips or overdone breast implants, it can be quite the turnoff to someone who is nuanced to plastic surgery. Not to worry, our practice prioritizes catering a plastic surgery procedure for you and you only.

Let’s face it; there is no “one-size-fits-all” cosmetic procedure. When you work with professionals such as Dr. Steven Davis, you can be sure that your treatment will be tailored to your specific liking.

Examples of Combination Therapies

by

Have you heard of combination therapies before? Dr. Davis has covered this exciting topic in the past, and today we’re diving into a few more specific examples. By combining multiple procedures all over the body, we are now able to obtain remarkable results.

Let’s begin with the face and utilizing both Botox and radio-frequency techniques. The combination of these two treatments can achieve the look you want, when you want it. You can also combine liposuction with different body shaping techniques in order to sculpt your body to the exact way you’ve always imagined.

Tune in with Cherry Hill, NJ, plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Davis as he discusses even more examples of combination therapies that provide incredible results for our patients.

[Transcript]

Hi, I wanted to talk to you a little bit about combination therapy and it’s something that you may have been listening to on podcasts or even seen in some advertisements, but combination therapy, if done properly, can be an extremely powerful tool to be used anywhere on the body. Let me give you some examples.

Number one would be the face. If we combined the use of Botox and facial fillers with some skin tightening, with radio-frequency techniques, you can get a tremendous result because we use the power of multiple different techniques.

Let me give you another one, liposuctioning of the body. Why don’t we take some of the fat that we’re removing and actually place it in places where you’d want it to be, like the breasts or the butt, those types of things make liposuction and body reshaping extremely exciting. And it is a combination therapy. Let me give you another one.

How about if we’re doing breasts and we’re using some breast lifting techniques, but in conjunction with that we’re also utilizing a very small, silicone gel breast implant, one of those gummy bear breast implants. It’s a great way of using multiple techniques to get a great result.

Let’s talk about hair. We’ve been doing a lot of PRP treatments to make your hair grow better, but after a while, you may actually wanna have the zones that are deficient in growing hair, actually start to grow more hair. We can now do a combination therapy where we’re doing hair transplants in conjunction with the use of PRP.

So when you hear the term combination therapy, keep in mind that it is the use of different modalities to try to achieve this unbelievable result.
