In 2010, almost 300,000 cosmetic breast augmentation surgeries were performed in the United States. The popularity of this procedure is due to the overall high satisfaction of women who decide to proceed with surgery. However, it is important for you to be certain if this is what you really want, as implants may require additional future surgeries for maintenance of their optimal appearance.
Cosmetic Surgery
Breast Lift Surgery
When a breast lift is performed, a striking result is that as the extra skin is tightened, breasts that were widened and flattened become rounder and better positioned on the chest. This surgery can bring a lot of satisfaction for women who are already happy with the size of their chest, but the skin has started to sag over time due to pregnancy or age.
New FDA Information on Breast Implants
The FDA continues to monitor the outcomes and safety of breast implants since they released silicone implants back on the market in 2006. In 2010 alone, about 300,000 women chose cosmetic breast augmentation in the United States. This surgery can help improve body proportion, address changes after pregnancy, or correct minor breast sagging. If you are considering this procedure or have undergone this surgery, there are some important facts for you to know.
Skin Care
Sunscreen is a very important component of maintaining your skin. Even for patients who come to me interested in botox or facelift, one of the foundations we talk about is preventing further damage to your skin. The FDA recently came out with new regulations on how sunscreen is marketed, to make it easier for consumers to make an informed decision.
Botox for Eyebrow Lift
Eyebrows are aesthetically important to frame the eyes and open up the face. The ideal eyebrow shape includes a gentle arch up laterally. If you draw a vertical line on the outer edge of your pupil (the colored portion of your eyeball), the peak of the arch should be at this line. For some women, eyebrow hairs can be trimmed and plucked to achieve this look. For others, botox injection that targets the muscle which pulls your eyebrow down can be helpful.
