Correcting Breast Asymmetry

There is a common assumption that, while breast size may differ from one woman to another, the size of one woman’s breasts will be equal. We don’t often stop to consider that a woman may have one breast that is noticeably smaller than the other. The reason for breast asymmetry is not entirely understood. However, the consequences of this problem are no secret to the women who struggle to fit into clothing and feel confident in intimate situations. Fortunately, having two different sized breasts is usually no more than a cosmetic issue. If a size difference occurs suddenly, though, it is important to undergo a medical evaluation to ascertain why. Correcting Breast Asymmetry The progress that has been made in plastic surgery has enabled the

Why Liposuction is Not the Answer to Cottage Cheese Thighs

This is the time of year when a lot of people start thinking about how they look. We know summer is coming, and that means we’ll be spending a lot more time in bathing suits and shorts. When we know bathing suit season is just around the corner, we may begin to panic about problems like saddle-bags, love-handles, and the dreaded cellulite. To address these concerns, it makes sense to think about liposuction. At the same time, this assumption about liposuction being the answer you need could be wrong. What makes cellulite so stubborn? All fat can seem more stubborn than a two-year-old with a strong dislike of naps. Cellulite is even worse than the average fat that hangs around the hips, thighs, and stomach.

When Women Lose Their Hair

When you brush or wash your hair, it is only natural that you will see some shedding. We all lose a fair amount of hair, about 80 strands, on a daily basis. It is when much more than this is lost; when hair begins to look thin, or areas of complete hair loss occur, that we want to explore why. On your end, if you’re noticing any amount of significant hair loss, the primary goal is to identify a solution. Female hair loss is an interesting phenomenon that is far more common than most people imagine. Research suggests that 1 or more of every 3 women may face this problem. Restoring adequate growth is a priority, and it is important that we realize the path may

What is Hyaluronic Acid and Why It’s Great For Your Skin

You probably have seen hyaluronic acid in one of your skin care products but you may have wondered….what exactly is it? Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the body.  It is a lubricating fluid that has a high capacity for holding water…up to 1000 times its weight!  It acts almost like a sponge, holding water in the skin, giving it a plump and youthful appearance.  Unfortunately, as we age, our body’s production of hyaluronic acid slows down.  Loss of hyaluronic acid in our skin leads to loss of volume and firmness. How can you increase hyaluronic acid in your body? Drinking lots of water to stay hydrated and eating certain foods can help your body to replenish or maintain its levels of

Tummy Tuck: A Practice in Patience

When you want to correct muscle separation and laxity that occurs as a result of weight and pregnancy, it is natural to want results sooner rather than later. It is enough of practice in patience to have to implement a healthy diet and regular exercise, to then realize that these habits aren’t going to give you the exact curves you’d like to see on your body. It is this frustration that leads many people to visit their plastic surgeon to talk about abdominoplasty. Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, exceeds the capabilities of nonsurgical skin tightening treatments for excessive abdominal laxity. It also outdoes what is possible with liposuction alone. Liposuction can reduce the layer of subcutaneous fat that lies beneath the skin, but it cannot correct

Vampires Don’t Come out Only at Night

Historically, vampires have gotten a bit of a bad rap. We may love references to these nocturnal oddities in movies and television, but not so much in real life. In our Scottsdale office, vampires coming out during the day can be a good thing, because our Vampires have a positive effect on your skin! Let’s Talk Vampire Facial™ and Vampire Facelift™ These two techniques are still in their upward swing regarding popularity. The Vampire Facial was first made notable by Kim Kardashian after the reality star posted images of herself midway through her skin rejuvenating treatment, looking a bit red in the face, to be honest. The appearance of an (albeit, beautiful) blood-splattered face was at first a bit disturbing. However, discerning men and women
