St. Louis Fat Grafting

jen — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:45:02 +0000

It may seem odd in a culture that is determined to purge all it’s fat, but some fat is necessary to create a smooth, healthy, youthful appearance. In age, our face particularly, loses some of it’s valuable fat and this, along with the loss of elasticity in the skin and the weakening of our muscles, is what contributes to wrinkles, fine lines and that “sunken in” appearance. By injected fat back into those thinned out areas the skin is able to smooth back out to create a more youthful and healthy appearance.

St. Louis Facial Fat Grafting is a highly effective and permanent procedure in which fat is donated from another area of the body, processed and purified, then re-injected into the needed area. Since the procedure is so effective and long lasting, it is recommended that a patient opt for temporary collagen fillers first to better guarantee satisfaction in the results.

Post Weight Loss Body Lift Surgery

jen — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:31:14 +0000

After a major weight loss through traditional methods or bariatric surgery, the accomplishment of the weight loss is often partially over-shadowed by the disappointment of the excess skin left over. While a healthy diet and exercise routine can help you reach and maintain your ideal body weight, it unfortunately can do nothing for the excess sagging skin. Through a St. Louis Body Lift surgery the excess skin can be removed and tightened so that the patient may more fully appreciate the success they’ve achieved in their weight loss.

Bariatric Body Lift Surgery may vary slightly from patient to patient to include whatever areas that particular patient needs. Excess skin may be removed from the upper arms, legs, buttocks or groin, abdominal region or even breasts.

Deciding to have a St. Louis Breast Augmentation or Breast Implant procedure requires making several decisions. The first and most important of which is choosing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with whom you feel comfortable and safe. It is important not only to check your Plastic Surgeon’s credentials but also to view photos of their previous patients to see if the results they have produced appeal to you. As with artists, Plastics Surgeon’s work can vary from Plastic Surgeon to Plastic Surgeon and it is important to find one who understands your aesthetic desires.

The next step is the consultation. In your consultation you and your prospective doctor will discuss the specifics of what you want to achieve and whether or not these are realistic. If you are in good health and have realistic goals, you will likely be considered an ideal candidate for the procedure. The next step then, in a Breast Implant procedure, is determining the type of implant you want, the size of implant you want, the shape, and surface type. In addition to this, and depending on the kind of implant you decide, there are also incision points to consider. At this time it may also be brought up that a Breast Lift in conjuncture with a Breast Implant may be the only way to achieve the look you desire.
