Don’t Gloss Over the Details in Tummy Tuck Galleries

September 24, 2020 by Davis

The tummy tuck is one of the most transformative procedures in plastic surgery. Scanning before-and-after images, it’s easy to be swept up by the dramatic changes in appearance. But in doing so, you may miss the subtler nuances, like the proportions of the navel and the discreet contours of the abdomen, that signal next-level outcomes.

Like so many avenues of cosmetic plastic surgery, the tummy tuck has evolved considerably in recent years. Dr. Davis has refined his techniques and learned how to safely enhance their results. When choosing surgical providers it usually comes down to small differences in those results. To help with your decision, here are three details you want to make sure to note while reviewing galleries.

A low-profile scar

Ideally, a tummy tuck scar heals as a fine line just above or slightly within the pubic hair. The goal, of course, is for it to be completely concealed when you pull on a standard bikini bottom. Mind you, that’s a big ask, considering the average tummy tuck incision runs from hip bone to hip bone. And because most people’s hips and backs aren’t perfectly straight to begin with.

That said, the scar, while remaining out of sight, should actually accentuate the overall result. The tummy tuck involves tugging, contouring, and a bit of geometry. By creating a low-sitting scar, the surgeon’s able to change the way the sides look and the way the abdomen itself looks. So, also look for a scar that’s balanced and symmetric.

A contoured midsection

Appealing as a tight-looking abdomen might sound, it doesn’t look natural. The current standard (which does) is softer and shapelier, with subtle curves and depressions. To achieve those contours, liposuction is usually incorporated into the tummy tuck.

In addition to removing fat from the hips, flanks, and back during the surgery, meticulous surgeons will carefully sculpt the area above the belly button, which creates a barely-perceptible little groove that’s inherent in a youthful abdomen. Details like that may be very subtle, but they all contribute to the overall result.

Chemical Peels and Lasers Remain the Gold Standard for Treating a Range of Skin Issues

September 22, 2020 by Davis

When it comes to improving dull skin, rough texture, hyperpigmentation, and acne, chemical peels and lasers remain the gold standard. Both help to reduce the appearance of pores and soften fine lines. Both entail relatively minimal downtime (a few days of redness, swelling, and peeling). And both can be exceptionally effective—in the right situations. Here, I’ll help you pin down which treatment is right for you.

Chemical Peels and Lasers Remain the Gold Standard for Treating a Range of Skin Issues

How do they work?

First, let’s take a closer look at each treatment. A chemical peel uses various acids, such as lactic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic (TCA), to resurface the skin and remove surface pigmentation.

Which treatment is right for me?

Regardless of your skin type or the issue you want to address, both peels and lasers will require multiple treatments in order to achieve the best results. The total number can be as few as two, but it’s generally between three and six. 

With that in mind, if given a choice, a chemical peel is the better option if you’re on a budget. Its price depends on the strength and concentration of the peel, but the range is typically less than that of a fractionated laser treatment.

Both types of treatments can provide you with more radiant skin, though, if you have dark skin and you opt for a lower-energy fractionated laser, like Clear + Brilliant, you’ll want to make sure the treatment is done by someone who has a lot of experience using this laser on dark skin types. It’s considered safer than a stronger laser resurfacing procedure, but the results can vary in under-experienced hands.

For the most part, however, a chemical peel is the safer means to resurface and tighten dark skin. The heat of a fractionated laser can contribute to hyperpigmentation. (For everyone else, a laser is the clear choice for skin-tightening. The heat will spur the production of natural collagen and elastin, the basic building blocks of firmer skin.)

Some plastic surgeons will start with a peel and move to a laser if the results aren’t meeting their expectations. In those instances, they’ll use a lower-energy fractionated laser at low strength over a few treatments in order to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

A similar approach is often used when aiming to erase persistent patches of acne. A series of salicylic acid peels exfoliate the skin and penetrate the pores to unclog them. At which point, a long-pulse laser can shut down overactive sebaceous glands. It’s safe for dark skin because it won’t burn the upper layers.

Did You Know About Temple Fillers?

September 18, 2020 by Davis

Many of you may be looking to raise your eyebrows’ appearance to give your face a much more youthful and structured look. What you don’t know is the many different ways we can go about performing this treatment plan. With the various fillers provided here at our Cherry Hill, NJ plastic Surgery office, we can inject areas such as the temples to achieve your desired outcome.

As the temple area begins to hallow out, many of us lose the face shape we once knew and loved. It’s time to get proactive and commit to temple fillers!

Reach out to us directly via our contact form to discuss the different possibilities behind temple fillers. Minimally-invasive treatments are rapidly rising in popularity – don’t miss the boat!


[Transcript]

Hi, Dr. Steven Davis. I’m sure most of you know, that if you have concerns about anything from your eyebrows up, most people know that BOTOX or some sort of a neuromodulator, like Dysport, BOTOX, Jeuveau, work really well to get that area looking really nice.

But a lot of you want your eyebrows to really go up as high as they can, so that it looks really, really, youthful. Well, did you know that the temporal hollows in this area can do a lot to make you look like your eyebrows have come down?

So next time you’re in the office and we’re talking about doing something to raise your eyebrows, let’s talk about putting some fillers in these temporal hollows.

Many of you that are athletes, or that have dropped a lot of body fat, will notice that this area is getting more concave. And when that happens, it makes the lateral brows come down.

So putting some filler in this area, will also lift up that eyebrow, and you’ll get the look that you’re looking for.


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.
