A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a butt augmentation cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the buttocks by increasing its size and volume with autologous fat grafts (fat from your own body). This popular treatment option is often the preferable method for individuals who wish to reshape their body without the use of implants or who have excess body fat to spare.The BBL procedure requires two major steps. The first step involves the extraction of fat from a donor site on the body via a liposuction technique. After the removal of fat, the graft is prepared through […]
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) enhances the contour and volume of the buttocks by transferring fat removed from unwanted areas of the body and injecting it into the buttocks. A BBL is a safe and simple procedure that delivers results that look and feel natural. However, only a portion of the transferred fat survives in its new location. The percentage of fat cells that sustain themselves long-term varies widely depending on a host of factors, including the total volume transferred, the tightness and elasticity of skin in the new location, and the patient aftercare during recovery. Although various factors influence […]
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a highly effective and very common plastic surgery procedure which aims to reduce the amount of excess skin around the eyes. This can have dramatically beneficial results for most patients, such as the reduction of bags, dark circles, or puffiness underneath the eyes. However, for many patients the benefits exceed cosmetic appeal, and indeed blepharoplasty is for them a medical necessity. In these cases, it’s usually because the upper eyelid has begun to droop or sag into the field of vision. Blepharoplasty is a way to correct this problem and restore proper eyesight, though most […]
Generally speaking, the only requirement necessary to qualify as a candidate for facelift surgery is to be in good general health—as to whether or not you need a facelift surgery is something that you’ll have to determine on your own (ideally with the advise of a qualified plastic surgeon). Deciding to have plastic surgery—or any elective cosmetic treatment—is a deeply personal decision that should be carefully considered. However, keep in mind it’s also a common decision made by thousands of men and women each year, and social acceptance of plastic surgery is at an all time high.
The Most Important Step […]
Finding the “right” plastic surgeon more than likely means finding the right plastic surgeon for you. Since everyone’s physical makeup is different, it means that there are no two procedures which are ever exactly alike. Even though there’s a lot of cosmetic surgery procedures which are extremely common—including facelifts, breast augmentation, or rhinoplasty—the needs of each patient is different. This is true for any kind of surgery, not just plastic surgery. If you were having a different, non-elective kind of surgery, you’d want to make sure that you had appropriately “shopped around” and found the best possible doctor to treat […]
When performed by a skilled facial cosmetic surgeon, Rhinoplasty can help achieve symmetry and balance of one’s face. However, recovery can take some time, and results of rhinoplasty surgery aren’t always immediately apparent . Pain and swelling should be expected after just about any type of surgery, including a nose job. The pain generally is moderate to mild after rhinoplasty surgery and usually resolves within the first few days. The pain experienced after rhinoplasty surgery can be controlled with over the counter medications such as Tylenol. Your surgeon may also prescribe a stronger medication for you. ONLY take medication that […]

The liposuction procedure carries along some side effects with it that are normal after the procedure, but they may alarm you at first. Swelling is one of those side effects and while completely normal, you should make sure that you take steps to reduce and prevent it when possible.
In general, you will experience more swelling when you have multiple areas performed. Also, the closer to your legs and feet the location of the liposuction, the more swelling you may experience as well.
If you are ever concerned about your swelling or something does not feel right, let your plastic surgeon know […]
