Brachioplasty – Coastal Cosmetic Surgery

jen — Mon, 07 May 2012 07:26:26 +0000

There are a couple of factors which may lead to a person seeking out surgical treatment to improve the contour of their arms. Most common factors include individuals who have gone through a dramatic weight loss and are now left with excess sagging skin under their arms, and elsewhere on their bodies. Another common factor is people who have difficulty toning their arms due to pre-determined, genetics which can cause pockets of fatty cells in the arm area which are resistant to diet and exercise. Both of these groups of people can be helped through Brachioplasty.

Brachioplasty, or Arm Lift Surgery, is a procedure in which excess skin is removed. In cases where stubborn pockets of fat are also an issue, Liposuction is often used in conjunction with Arm Lift Surgery to provide the best results. For those with sagging, excess skin on other parts of the body, as well as under the arms, an Arm Lift Surgery may be done as a part of a whole Body Lift procedure to improve the contour of the body as a whole by removing excess skin.

For women interested in enhancing the size of their breasts, breast augmentation is often the answer. For some of these women, however, a breast augmentation alone may not be able to create the ideal look. What breast augmentation can do is increase the size of the breasts and improve the shape of the breasts. What it can’t do is lift breasts which have begun to sag or droop.

There are many things that cause a woman’s breasts to begin to sag such as breast feeding, changes in weight, aging, and genetics. Some of these may cause a women to feel her breasts have “deflated” and a breast augmentation can help to restore lost mass, but a breast augmentation coupled with a breast lift can also create perkier, firmer, more youthful looking breasts.

The best way to determine if a breast augmentation alone, a breast lift alone or a combination breast augmentation is right for you is to set up a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Contact our office today to schedule yours!

Men and women who have recently undergone a dramatic weight loss, women who’ve had multiple pregnancies, as well as people who have a difficult time losing weight in their mid-section may be good candidates for Abdominoplasty.

Abdominoplasty, also known as Tummy Tuck, is a procedure in which the excess skin and fat in the mid-section is removed and the muscles of the abdomen are tightened. When the muscles of the abdomen become loose or separated, the abdomen sticks out, but once they have been sutured closer together, the abdomen lies flat. The remaining skin is then closed over the newly flattened abdominal muscles to create a more contoured, flattering mid-section.

Often Abdominoplasty may be done in conjunction with other procedures such as Liposuction, Breast Lift, or Thigh Lift. If you are ready to discuss your options for a more finely contoured waist, contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation.

Jacksonville Brow Lift

jen — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 01:09:09 +0000

Our faces are almost constantly in motion from the time we are baby making faces back at Mommy to the time we are Moms and Dads ourselves making faces back at baby. Our faces are constantly communicating our thoughts, feelings, and emotions- even when we don’t realize it. As we start to age, our faces are naturally one of the first areas to begin to be effected by the signs of aging. Lines, creases and wrinkles start to set in and suddenly it may seem your face has begun to communicate something different than what you are actually feeling… perhaps people begin to comment that you seem tired, negative, or even angry. The lines on your face are telling a different story than your inner story.

Through a Brow Lift procedure those fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead and brow area can be smoothed out creating a more youthful, relaxed and alert appearance. Often times patients opt to combine a brow lift procedure with other facial rejuvenation procedures like blepharoplasty (or eyelid lift), dermal fillers, or even a full face lift or neck lift. Discussing your goals with a plastic surgeon is the best way to determine what treatment plans are possible. Contact our office today to set up your consultation appointment with one of our Jacksonville Plastic Surgeons.

Did you know that skin is the largest organ? We are surrounded by our skin, it keeps us safe and battles the elements day in and day out, everyday of our life.

Jacksonville Microdermabrasion is a popular skin re-freshening treatment which uses tiny crystals to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells to reveal the smooth, yet unharmed, healthy skin which lies just beneath. Since Microdermabrasion is removing that dead outer layer of skin, any skin imperfection on that layer will also be removed. Skin imperfections such as uneven skin pigmentation, fine line, wrinkles and sun damage may be effectively treated with Microdermabrasion.
