Weathering cancer can turn gravely serious in the best of cases, and the measures that must sometimes be taken in preservation of a patient's life can become extreme. For a woman whose life is darkened by the shadow of breast cancer, it can feel as if more than just a part of her body has been cut away. Her very sense of herself can be affected in a profound way. The reconstruction of a breast can dramatically improve a woman's self-image, self-confidence and quality of life in such circumstances.
Breast reconstruction is an especially personal matter. If you opt to undergo breast surgery, you should do so for yourself, and not to appease the desires of someone else. The reconstructed breast will effectively look natural, but it will not look or feel exactly like the breast that was removed. If you are thinking about breast reconstruction in Detroit, Michigan, or the surrounding area, you should discuss your goals and questions with a board certified surgeon like Dr. Bazzi.

Body Contouring in Orange County
Perhaps you have been considering ridding yourself of a stubborn spot from your thighs, tummy, or buttocks that just isn't responding to diet and exercise. I recently ran across the web site of Dr. Marcel Daniels. A board certified plastic surgeon in Long Beach, Dr. Daniels has had extensive experience providing liposuction to his patients, using various techniques. Although liposuction only removes fat cells, it can compliment other procedures nicely.Men and women who have experienced significant weight gain and loss in the past and women who have been pregnant often find that their primary problem is excess skin (with or without excess fat). These may benefit most from some form of excision surgery such as an abdominoplasty. Also called a tummy tuck, this surgery removes the excess skin that liposuction can't. The decision as to the best procedure and how extensive be will depend upon the individual patient. Your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Daniels can help you choose whether a tummy tuck in Orange County is right for you.

Cosmetic Surgery in La Jolla
If your face and neck have begun to sag, but your skin still has some elasticity, you may be a good candidate for a facelift in La Jolla. We all are subject to the forces of gravity, sun, stress, and time, and as we age we start to sag in some spots and bunch up in others. While it's important to remember that nothing can stop the aging process entirely (nothing non-fatal, that is), the clock can be turned back.
In performing a face lift procedure, the surgeon makes incisions on either side of the face, usually behind the hair line and starting at the temples, working down. The layers of tissue are separated and either tightened or removed, and stitches then secure the tissues and close the incisions. Most face lifts are done on an outpatient basis over the course of several hours. Local or general anesthesia may be used, but your surgeon should discuss the advantages and disadvantages of all aspects with you before surgery. Schedule a consultation for your face lift in La Jolla, California, with Dr. Robert Kearney.

Eye Brow Lift Surgery in Santa Monica
A brow lift is conducted on an outpatient basis under monitored sedation or general anesthesia. The incisions are usually made behind the hairline, though they can be placed in front of the hairline for those with high foreheads. The surgeon uses an endoscope, a narrow instrument that is hollow with a camera and a fiber optic light source, through which the procedure is performed with special small instruments. In this manner, the skin of the forehead is lifted and repositioned.
If your eyebrows are hanging too low or too close to your eyes, or if your forehead is sagging, you may have given some consideration to forehead lift or brow lift surgery. Surgery is going to involve some aspect of risk under any circumstances, so you are going to want to know all you can about both the benefits and the risks before you proceed. Discuss your brow lift in Santa Monica with Dr. Steven Teitelbaum, who is recognized as one of the top aesthetic surgeons in the United States.
