Breast Lift

As one ages, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts. The skin loses its elasticity and the breasts begin to lose their shape and firmness and start sagging. Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and to return youthful shape and lift to breasts that have sagged. The procedure can also reduce areolar size (the dark skin surrounding the nipple). It is often combined with breast augmentation for added volume and firmness.

Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)

Breast Reduction or reduction mammoplasty is a surgical procedure to reduce the size and shape of a woman's breasts. Large breasts may cause physical and mental discomfort and can cause problems-- the size and weight of large breasts can result in self-consciousness, improper posture, pain in the back and neck, indentations from bra straps, skin rashes, breathing problems and skeletal deformities. Breast reduction surgery is usually done to provide physical relief from these symptoms, not just for cosmetic reasons.

Breast Augmentation / Breast Implants

Breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast for a number of reasons. Breast augmentation enhances body shape, balances breast irregularities, and improves the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small and desires a fuller breast appearance. Breast augmentation is usually done using silicone implants.

Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction utilizes different techniques to create a breast that closely matches the shape, size and feel of the breast that has been removed. Reconstruction may be done using implants or autologous tissues. Only reconstruction of the nipple-areolar complex may also be done.

Inverted Nipples

Inverted nipples may cause physical embarrassment and even complications during breast feeding. It is easily corrected by a short surgical procedure

Significant weight gain, slagging breasts, loose stomach skin, and stretch marks are unavoidable factors of motherhood, regardless of how much you diet and exercise.

Even the fittest moms who work hard to get their figures back find that the changes from pregnancy simply cannot be undone and exercised away. Excess skin is left behind, both in the lower abdomen as well as in the breasts. This occurs due to the body being stretched and pulled with weight gain, and the swelling and subsequent shrinking can leave the areas flat and sometimes sagging.

A lot of first-time mothers are totally unprepared for how much their body changes, and sometimes become depressed when their bodies don’t return to the pre-pregnancy state.

A 'Mommy makeover' involves the combination of different procedures that surgically attempt to restore the pre-pregnancy shape. Usually, it includes some form of breast surgery, a tummy tuck and Vaser liposelection.

The surgical techniques used during a mommy makeover vary based on the condition of each of the body parts the patient wishes to improve.

For the breasts, common issues include sagging and loose skin and a loss of breast volume. Some women will have breasts that remain enlarged. Surgeries that may be considered include breast reduction, breast augmentation and/or a breast lift. For many, a combination of these techniques creates a youthful, beautiful post-pregnancy breast appearance.

In the lower tummy, it is normal to see loose skin, stretch marks, and persistent pockets of fat. These are normally treated with Vaser liposelection and by removing the excess skin. (Tummy Tuck).

By performing these operations at the same time in a mummy tuck, you are able to lessen recovery time and costs, and get back on your feet quickly.

The term female genital rejuvenation covers several different procedures. It is sometimes called vaginal rejuvenation surgery, female genital cosmetic surgery, vulvovaginal plastic surgery and designer vagina surgery, etc.

Overly large, wrinkled, or uneven labia may be a congenital trait or may be the result of pregnancy, hormones, or overstretching during childbirth. Women may desire a more rejuvenated look after they are through having children. Young women who have this surgery often do so because they are active in sports and feel discomfort during exercise or because they are self-conscious about their appearance. Tight clothing can irritate labia that protrude excessively, and some women find that sexual interaction is hindered because of discomfort. Other women feel that their upper pubic region, the mons pubis, is too prominent.

The anatomy of the female genital area is as follows:

The hair bearing area over the pubic bone at the upper portion of the female genitalia is called the mons. The hair-bearing outer lips are called the labia majora. The inner lips are called the labia minora. In the upper portion in the centre is the clitoral hood, which covers the clitoris in part or entirely. Below the clitoris is the urethral opening, and below that is the vaginal opening.

Genital rejuvenation broadly falls in three categories: labiaplasty, vaginoplasty and liposuction. Labiaplasty surgery involves reduction of the labia majora or labia minora by removing excess tissue occurring in the outer folds of this tissue. The surgery may include clitoral unhooding if requested. Unhooding is implemented if excess tissue hinders sensitivity during sexual stimulation.

The term labiaplasty typically refers to a procedure that reduces the length of the labia minora. It is the most commonly performed vaginal rejuvenation procedure and it can relieve symptoms women experience from twisting and tugging of the labia. The goal of the procedure is to reduce the labia minora so that they don't hang below the hair-bearing labia majora. A labiaplasty may be performed to reduce asymmetry when one is longer than the other, or to reduce the length of both labia so that the labia no longer twist, tug or cause pain during intercourse.

Clitoral hood reduction is a procedure to reduce excess folds of the clitoral hood, or prepuce, which may reduce sensitivity. The procedure is most commonly done along with a labiaplasty, as it can improve the appearance of the female genitalia as well.

A labia majoraplasty is a procedure done to surgically reduce or increase the size of the outer, hair-bearing labia majora.

A monsplasty is a procedure designed to reduce bulging of the mons. Some women have a bulge of excess skin and fat in the mons, causing embarrassment and inability to wear tight-fitting outfits. A monsplasty reduces the amount of fatty tissue and/or skin, reducing the bulging appearance of the pubic area.

After childbirth, very often, women complain of vaginal laxity, resulting from stretching of tissues and separating of muscles. A Vaginoplasty is a procedure designed to tighten the vagina. A vaginoplasty repairs the stretched, torn muscles, and any extra lining from the back of the vagina is removed. The external skin can also be tightened for a more aesthetic appearance.

An alternative is non-invasive vaginal tightening by heating tissues with radiofrequency waves or laser. Patients with more than a mild laxity may not experience much benefit from these treatments, which are temporary.

The term "O-Shot" is a term that is short for "Orgasm" shot. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP/GFC) is derived from your own blood and is injected in the clitoris and in the vagina in the area of the Grafenburg spot, or "G-Spot," This is the erotic zone within the vagina near the opening of the urethra.

The "G-Shot" is another term that refers to the injection of a filler into the G-Spot, to increase its size and therefore the stimulation received during intercourse.

As we begin to age our tissues become weak, we lose subcutaneous fat and the underlying support structure becomes lax and begins to sag. Sagging is seen earliest around the cheeks, eyes, brows, the jowls, and neck creating a longer and older-looking face, with blurred or softened jaw lines. Our age is most often betrayed by our face, hands and the décolletage in women.

There is a whole new sub-specialty of medicine which deals in Anti-Ageing or Life Extension Therapy.

• Diet and Supplements
• Hormone Therapy
• Exercise / Yoga
• Creams, Lotions and Potions

Different treatment modalities target different layers of the face to correct the specific derangements.

BOTOX- to relax specific muscles. Purified Botulinum Toxin, which, when used properly, causes a planned weakness of specific muscles creating wrinkles.

GROWTH FACTORS- to rejuvenate skin. Derived from the Platelets in your own blood, concentrated and injected under the skin…..

FILLERS – to restore lost volume. These are synthetically produced injectable Gels, which restore lost volume. Typically used in the cheeks, smile lines, etc to restore volume and reverse sagging.

THREADS – to volumize OR lift skin.

FAT GRAFTING – to rejuvenate the skin of the hands, décolletage, face, under-eye areas and to restore volume in the cheeks.
