While diet and exercise can be excellent weight loss tools, in many cases, they are not enough to improve skin elasticity or eliminate the excess skin that results from significant weight loss and multiple pregnancies. As a result, many patients turn to abdominoplasty surgery – a cosmetic procedure designed to contour the stomach, tighten weakened abdominal muscles and remove loosened skin.
While this procedure is an excellent option for many who seek to tone and tighten their midsection, the results are only long-lasting if patients work to preserve them by following all aftercare instructions carefully, maintaining a consistent weight, healthy diet, […]
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance the bust, providing volume, correcting asymmetry, and improving shape for the breasts using saline or silicone implants. Previously, implants were believed to have an expiry date of approximately ten years and many manufacturers continue to recommend that they be replaced every ten years.
As a result of advancements in technology, modern breast implants can now last twenty or more years and in some instances, may never need to be replaced.
Improved Design Of Implants
Unlike previous implants, which had a thinner exterior shell, designed to deliver natural results, today’s silicone implants have a […]
Altering the shape and volume of your derriere to achieve a more flattering and curvy contour to the body can be done with either butt implants or a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Although both procedures have a common goal of enhancing the shape and volume of the butt to improve the patient’s silhouette, different methods are used to achieve this goal. Butt implants are medical devices that are surgically inserted into the body, while a Brazilian Butt Lift is a butt augmentation procedure that uses the patient’s own fat tissues to produce natural-looking results.
The BBL offers advantages that the implants […]
Gynecomastia is a common condition, which is characterized by the development of male breast tissue. Commonly referred to as “man boobs” or “moobs,” male breast enlargement can have a significant effect on an individual’s body image and self-esteem, often negatively impacting affected individual’s personal and professional lives. Gynecomastia, which is most often caused by a hormonal imbalance, frequently occurs during puberty, but can develop at any stage of a male’s life. Although in mamy cases it resolves itself over time, in some instances, the condition persist. If you are troubled by the development of male breast tissue, the following exercises […]
Many assume that after a tummy tuck they will want to take it easy, avoid physical activity, and going out in public in general. Surprisingly though, the opposite is usually true! After the operation most patients are eager to return to physical activities as soon as the pain from the procedure subsides. This is usually within one to two weeks post operatively, a time when patients often find themselves with more energy and motivation to be active as well.
It is important to mention that your surgeon will explain their exact timeline and postoperative recommendations with respect to returning to normal […]
Each tummy tuck recovery varies from patient to patient. For example, whether or not liposuction was preformed in conjunction with the tummy tuck procedure as well as each patient’s personal pain tolerance and healing time. It is safe to say, however, that no patient will be up and back to their normal routines within a day or two after a tummy tuck procedure.
To help you understand the healing process, the recovery time can be broken down into four stages:
Stage One
The first stage usually encompasses the first two weeks after the surgery. Surgical drains will be in place and assessed by […]
Breast augmentation is a major surgical procedure that involves a doctor making incisions in your body. This means you can expect to have to prepare your body in advance, to undergo anaesthesia for the procedure, and to experience some pain and discomfort afterwards. After the surgery, your body will react to tissue damage and the new breast implants with some swelling and bruising.
It is important to note that each patient experiences pain differently based on factors such as their skin and body type, general pain tolerance, and their unique response to pain medication. Some patients report feeling discomfort or tightness […]
Many women know they want breast augmentation to feel comfortable and confident after weight loss, pregnancy, surgery, or to improve their self-esteem but the number of implant options and considerations can seem overwhelming.

While there are no cosmetic treatments that can offer truly permanent effects, it is quite accurate to say that for many patients, a facelift surgery can offer very long lasting results that for some might as well be permanent. At Edelstein Cosmetic we like to say that a facelift turns back the clock, but the clock keeps ticking. You will likely always look better than if you had not had the surgery done at all. Everyone’s aesthetic goals are different, so your plastic surgeon should offer you completely customized care—customized not only to your goals, but to your unique anatomy. […]
In both the United States and Canada, chin implants are becoming the most popular plastic surgery trend. Between 2010 and 2011, the spike in popularity of the procedure was 71%. The meteoric rise of chin implants may have to do with social media and video technology. Since video chatting has become normal, more and more people are becoming more aware of their chin and jawline.
Correcting a Receding Chin
The chin is an important part of a person’s profile, and both women and men can be self-conscious of their receding chins. When people look in the mirror, they tend to notice their […]
