Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Articles

As things open back up due to coronavirus restrictions being lifted, we’ve noticed an unfortunate trend is coming back to life. The concept of medical tourism is one Dr. Davis has covered in the past, and it is a critical topic to discuss. Medical tourism is essentially traveling outside of the country to have a cosmetic procedure performed.

Whether the reason is that it would be cheaper, or a patient didn’t believe it could be done here in the states, this trend is very concerning for medical professionals. Often after people have procedures performed overseas, they come back home and need corrections done. Here at Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, we’ve already been helping out a few patients who have unfortunately learned the downsides of medical tourism firsthand.

Let’s continue discussing medical tourism and why you should always do your research before committing to a specific procedure.

Hi everyone. Now that all of us are starting to get more involved in doing things because we feel that we’ve been vaccinated, or that the coronavirus is something that we know how to kind of navigate, one of the things that has unfortunately re-emerged is this whole idea of medical tourism.

And for you out there that really don’t know what that means, it’s going out of the country, and going other places to have cosmetic surgery procedures done, and then coming back home, and unfortunately, having some complications due to that.

Over the past two weeks, we’ve already seen two patients that have had this happen. And I just want to make sure that you know that before you really decide to do that because of cost, or other things that you think can’t be handled in your normal locale, just investigate it a little further because the two patients that I’m talking to you about both went out of the country because they really thought it was gonna be number one cheaper, and because they thought that that procedure is something that’s really only done there, which is really not something that at least I could tell you.

I’ve not had anybody before ask me for a procedure. And if I didn’t do it, I definitely know someone in the tri-state area that will do it. So again, just investigate it a little further because we want to make sure that everyone that goes to get cosmetic plastic surgery is having it done safely.

Hi, everyone. I wanted to talk a little bit about the most popular plastic surgery procedure in the country, and that’s liposuction. But for some of you, you may not wanna do it surgically. So what we’ve invented here is something that we call Fire & Ice, and it’s a way of freezing the fat cells and at the same time, going after some of that skin laxity. Jacqueline, how do we go about doing that?

So first, we’re gonna freeze those fat cells with the CoolSculpting, and then afterwards, we’re gonna go in with the heated energy, which is gonna to melt the fat, and it’s gonna tighten that skin. And how else do we tighten that skin?

With a thermal microneedling. So it’s not your traditional microneedle. It allows me to re-texturize the skin, that if someone has compromised texture, like from stretch marks, we can help that client re-texturize and smooth the skin away. And from there, I’m going to pass it on to Sarah, who may have some added boosters she wants to add to that client and patient.

Well, I mean, if there is some additional crepey skin or a little bit of laxity, I can always do MicroTox, which are tiny blebs of a toxin, such as Botox, Jeuveau, Xeomin, or Dysport. And that just adds some extra tightening action to the skin and also gives it a little bit more of a nice quality to it. The other thing we can do is put some PRP in that area of some crepeiness, and we can just kind of punch that in with a little vial that has tiny, little hollow needles in the top, and we can just sort of put it in that little location and give it sort of extra tightening.

What we’re trying to say is we have a lotta different ways of going about getting that skin and the areas of fat to go away without any surgery at all. Check us out. See you later.
