Here’s Some Advice to Help You Find the Right Ones for Fat Reduction and Skin Tightening Treatment

by

Liposuction and the tummy tuck consistently rank among the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures because fat reduction and skin tightening treatments yield some of plastic surgery’s most dramatic transformations. With the rise of noninvasive fat reduction technologies, prospective patients have more options than ever before on this front.

Today, I’ll highlight the most effective surgical and noninvasive fat reduction and skin tightening treatments for, arguably, the most common trouble spot to help illustrate how you can narrow your choices.

Here’s Some Advice to Help You Find the Right Ones for Fat Reduction and Skin Tightening Treatment

Surgical or noninvasive?

First, here’s a little guidance to help you choose between a surgical and noninvasive fat reduction treatment. The number of noninvasive devices has multiplied over the last decade, and that trend’s only expected to continue for the foreseeable future. To filter that number down to a more digestible amount, there are two main questions you should be asking:

Does it actually work? And, does it fit my needs and goals?

No one’s expecting you to come up with these answers on your own — me and my staff are here to help guide you down a path that works for you. Of course, It helps to do some preliminary homework on your own, but you should rely on your plastic surgeon to help you filter your options and, ultimately, select the right treatment for you. During our consultation, we not only physically assess your anatomy and skin quality, we also want to learn about your goals. All of which will enable us to form a realistic idea of what is achievable through each approach.

Target area: The abdomen

CoolSculpting works through a noninvasive process called cryolipolysis, where the fatty tissue in the targeted area is frozen and up to 25% of the fat cells in that area are destroyed. And because the body only produces a certain number of fat cells, those particular fat cells are never coming back. All of that is encouraging. It does, however, require some patience. The fat cells are dispensed by the body gradually, so it can take several weeks to see the full results of a treatment. And most patients need multiple treatments to achieve their desired look.

If you don’t mind a bit of downtime, liposuction remains the gold standard for precision and large-volume fat reduction. Coupled with BodyTite, a minimally-invasive procedure that tightens skin through radiofrequency-induced heat, the two are a formidable one-two punch for flattening just about any paunch.

There is an exception, though. A sculpted midsection is comprised of three components: tight skin, minimal fat, and strong muscles. If lax muscles are a concern, a tummy tuck may be a more appropriate choice. Depending on your needs, that could mean a mini-tummy tuck, which focuses on the lower abdomen, or a full tuck, which will address the entire abdomen.

Three potential treatments for one problem area, all of them effective. Again, allow your expectations for both the treatment and the outcome to be your compass. And trust your surgeon’s expertise.

I know this information can be overwhelming, which is why my staff and I are available to help you decide which treatments are best for your overall goals. Please contact us with any questions, or if you wish to schedule a consultation.

Improving the Shape of Your Breasts

by

The plastic surgery revolution is happening before our very eyes! Traditionally, breast augmentation was needed to improve size, but times have changed. Within the past three or four months, we’ve seen a gradual increase in a different type of breast augmentation requests. We’re now seeing patients come in with concerns regarding the shape of their breasts instead of volume.

With our recent advances in plastic surgery technology, we can drastically improve the shape of your breasts. Make sure you tune in to learn about the services we offer and how you can make a difference of your own!

Don’t settle with your current breast shape; contact Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery today.

[Transcript]

Hi, everyone. At Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, nowadays we’re doing a lot of breast augmentation and a lot of things to make the breast just look better. And it’s kind of come up a lot over the past, I’d say, three to four months.

And I wanted to make sure that I was making a quick video about this. A lot of patients, and this may be you, have been coming in not so much to talk about size alteration of your breasts but more about the shape of the breast.

And when I’m talking about shape, again, it’s not so much now trying to get a whole different cup size or anything like that. A lot of the patients that we’ve been seeing have come in with a V shape to their breasts, or what we call a tubular breast deformity.

And tubular breast deformities come in all different variants. Some are very, very constricted; it almost looks like a tube. And others, instead of having a nice semicircular base to the breast, has a very constricted base, almost looking like a V shape.

We can do some very specific things to make that breast that’s very contracted in the base spread out and look much more rounded. And we do that utilizing a special kind of a breast implant and actually doing special techniques intraoperatively to make that fanning of that bottom pole of the breast open up.

If this sounds like something that you may be looking at in the mirror, or you know someone, definitely come on in for a consultation, or let’s do it virtually, because since we’ve been doing our virtual consultations, this has been, honestly, probably the number one breast augmentation reason that we have been doing breast augmentation for the past, I’d say, three to four months; it’s more about shape.

And we can diagnose this right over a virtual consultation. So if this sounds like something you’re interested in, don’t hesitate to reach out and contact us.

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.

The Story Behind Sonja Morgan’s Facelift

by

It never ceases to amaze us that Davis CPS patients, and the general public are always interested in what TV Personalities are doing cosmetically to look their best.

The Real Housewives of New York City’s Sonja Morgan has always been transparent about the plastic surgery she’s had. Still, her announcement on Instagram that she had a lower facelift and neck lift after season 12 of The Real Housewives of New York City has stirred a surprising amount of buzz.

“I just wanted to be rid of the wrinkling on my neck and the jowls that were starting to form,” Morgan says in her post. She also said the procedures were a “no-brainer” and that “gravity had taken its toll.”

Dr. Steven Davis cites aging and the natural effects of gravity as one of the most popular reasons people come to Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Much of the interest appears to stem from the fact that Morgan didn’t undergo just any facelift; she chose a deep plane facelift.

Dr. Davis explains what is deep plane facelift

A deep plane facelift is a type of full facelift that tightens the middle and lower portions of the face by going below the muscle and connective tissue layer (known as the SMAS) and lifting it, along with the skin.

It differs from a traditional facelift in one key way: During a deep plane facelift, the skin and the SMAS are lifted as one unit, rather than separately. Some plastic surgeons believe that by doing it that way, the results are more natural-looking. However, studies have found no major differences in the outcomes of deep plane and traditional facelifts in patients under 70-years-old, even a decade later.

Both types of facelifts aim to tighten sagging cheeks, along with the lower face and neck. And with both, results can last up to 10 years. The recovery period is similar, too, at about two weeks, with appreciable results appearing as soon as the bandages are removed. It takes about three months for the swelling to fully subside and the full extent of results to become visible.

Is this facelift right for me?

Ultimately, the type of facelift technique we at Davis CPS recommends depends your particular goals and expectations for the procedure. Once we sit down to discuss your goals during the a virtual consultation we will have a better understanding of what plastic surgery procedure is right for you. Our goal is to make sure we help you look your best no matter which direction we pursue.
