Read Posts from the Whole Beauty® Institute in Chicago and Winnetka
The Whole Beauty® Institute blog is a resource for Chicago-area patients, as well as women and men in areas beyond, to get information on specific treatments and procedures, as well as Dr. John Q. Cook, his team, and his practice.
High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty
High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty is my preferred technique for restoring the tone of the abdomen. Patients come to me for this procedure because they have experienced a loss of tone of the abdominal skin, usually as a result of pregnancy or significant weight fluctuation.
Augmentation Mastopexy
If you are considering breast augmentation surgery, it is important for you to realize that breast implants alone will not solve every breast problem. Fortunately there is a good solution.
Various Neck Lift Surgery Techniques
Dr. John Q. Cook has developed various neck lift surgery techniques, each of which is designed for a specific type of neck problem for our Chicago patients.
Athletes Considering Breast Augmentation
My purpose with this particular blog and its counterparts is to address the specific issues that are important to athletes considering breast augmentation. In later blogs I will focus on issues that are important to athletes considering breast lift (mastopexy) or breast reduction surgery.
Advantages of Local Anesthesia for Facial Rejuvenation
An increasing percentage of our patients choose from our portfolio of limited incision surgeries for facial rejuvenation. These surgeries include customized face lifts, cheek lifts, jaw border lifts, and neck lifts, as well as certain types of brow lifts and eyelid surgery. They can be carried out under local anesthesia in the comfort and privacy of the Whole Beauty® Institute in Chicago and Winnetka.
Periareolar Breast Augmentation Surgery
Periareolar breast augmentation surgery involves an incision at the lower border of the areola which hides well along the areolar border. This works well for those with scars or a tendency to form thicker scars.
What Is Axillary Breast Augmentation?
The advantage of axillary breast augmentation is that the incision is placed in a location away from the breast. The incision is placed in the armpit.
What Is Inframammary Breast Augmentation?
The inframamary breast augmentation is the procedure where the implant is inserted in the natural fold under the breast. This provides the most direct path for the placement of a breast implant because the incision rests in the natural shadow line of the lower breast curvature.
What Are Breast Augmentation Incisions?
One of the choices that you will make regarding breast augmentation is the location of the incision. An expert surgeon can provide an equally beautiful result through any of the commonly used breast augmentation incisions.
Facial Fat Transfer for Athletes – Part 1
Facial fat transfer for athletes and physically active people can provide a very nice solution to the tendency for the face to appear a little gaunt and hollow as the years advance.
