The brow lift is one of the best operations in plastic surgery. When performed in a skillful manner, this procedure restores the pleasing contours that frame the upper eyelid in an attractive vital face. It also relaxes the forehead muscles and restores a sense of relaxation to the upper portion of the face.

Periareolar Mastopexy and Breast Augmentation Combined

June 25, 2010 @ 03:05 PM — by jqcookmd
In a previous blog I discussed how the periareolar mastopexy (breast lift) operation can bring an areola that is too large or sitting too low into better harmony with the breast. This operation also allows me to position a breast implant, so that I can adjust the volume of the breast as well.

There is an operation which will restore a pleasing size and balance to the areola and allow for a proportionate augmentation with an implant.  The operation is known as a periareolar mastopexy or a periareolar breast lift.

Breast reduction surgery provides my patients with a double benefit.  The first benefit is an artistic one.  A beautiful balance is restored between the breasts and the rest of the body.  The second benefit of this surgery is a wonderful improvement in body mechanics.  With heavy breasts, the patient’s shoulders are pulled forward, which in turn throws the posture out of alignment. 

How Breast Augmentation affects the nipple and areola

Breast augmentation may have significant effects on the nipple and the areola, the colored zone that surrounds the nipple, so it is important that you discuss these issues with your surgeon in order to avoid unintended consequences. 

Why liposuction can enhance fitness and health

March 02, 2010 @ 07:45 AM — by jqcookmd
A significant number of people exercise in order to improve or maintain their body shape and to keep their weight within a desired range. As a person loses weight due to increased exercise a desirable feedback cycle is established. When your clothes fit better, you feel good about your appearance, and you are likely to want to continue exercising.

The ideal candidate for liposuction is a person who is relatively young with good skin tone and localized fat deposits and who has good personal habits of nutrition and exercise.

Breast augmentation in Body Builders

February 22, 2010 @ 01:05 PM — by jqcookmd

On the one hand the poses which body builders strike during competition involve forceful contraction of well-developed pectoral muscles. This places subpectoral breast implants at a disadvantage, since the contraction of the muscle will distort the shape of the breast.

Breast Augmentation in Athletes: Pectoral Muscle Function and Implant Location Part 2

February 15, 2010 @ 01:25 PM — by jqcookmd

There are a few special sports where it may make sense to consider placing the implant in the subglandular plane, a space that can be developed beneath the undersurface of the breast and above the pectoral muscle.
