Surgery of the
Eyelid
The eyes are the focal point for facial expression and can easily
reveal a person's mood or feelings. Excess bags under the eyes,
wrinkled skin, and sagging eyebrows contribute to a sad, tired
appearance. Cosmetic eyelid surgery is designed to remove excess fat
and extra skin to restore a more youthful and brighter facial
appearance. The procedure is often combined with a Facelift,
Forehead lift, or Laser Skin Resurfacing, thus improving all aspects
of the aging face at once.

To Lipo or Not To Lipo
Like any
major surgery, liposuction has many risks and complications
associated with it that should be taken into consideration. The most
complications occur due to too much or too little fat being removed,
too much anesthesia, or excessive trauma due to many surgeries or
areas on which liposuction is performed at one time. Many
complications are preventable if the patient is well educated on the
procedure and takes the time to find a qualified, experienced
surgeon. Some common complications include:

Eyelid Surgery
We can’t stress the fact enough that eye contact is one of the few
ways we can judge a person’s character. While people talk about
getting facelifts, one of the most popular revisions in cosmetic
surgery involves the eyelids. As we grow older, our upper eyelids
tend to droop and our lower eyelids start to get baggy. This results
to an extremely tired, old look. The surgical procedure that is
known for this correction is known as “blepharoplasty.?
Blepharoplasty removes the “fatty?pouches that cause these
problems. When visible, the skin that has stretched over the years
can also be removed. The drooping around the upper eyelid involves
removal of excess skin, muscle, and fat. The incisions follow
natural contour lines in the upper eyelids. The lower lid can be
made on the inside, therefore leaving no visible scars.
Tummy Tuck
Have you ever reached a point in your life where you can’t fit into
certain jeans or is afraid of showing a little skin? Have you met
the point where diet and exercise just doesn’t cut it? Well, an
abdominoplasty, also known as a “tummy tuck,?can be your conclusion
to this stress. What a tummy tuck does, is that it removes excess
skin and fat, to tighten the muscles that get stretched in
childbirth. The incision is usually made from pelvic bone to pelvic
bone, right above your Brazilian Bikini wax. The scars for tummy
tucks can sometimes be angled to hide under high cut thongs. If
there were a lot of skin to be redraped, a new tummy button may be
made. With a modified or mini tummy tuck, the incision is shorter
and the tummy button may not need to be moved (this only works when
there is very little to be tucked). After the operation, a total of
2-3 weeks is required for healing before going back to work.
A Liposuction Patient Story
People have surgery for all sorts of reasons. The main reason is
because there is something about us that needs to be improved.
Before we even decide to have surgery, we have tried to live with
these issues.
We had a chance to receive a patient experience about liposuction.
She’s a 42 year old female and the CEO of her company; let’s take a
look at what she had to say about her experience and how she found
the right doctor, Dr. Melton.

Breast augmentation as a
last resort
After years of working out that body of yours, you realize all the
hard work it took you to get to that physique that you have always
wished for had made you lose not only the weight but something
else...
You diet and sacrifice certain foods, you drink water or juices
instead of shakes or sodas, and you train your body as if it were
your full-time job. You look in the mirror and please your own eyes
to see that you have finally reached the utmost physical limitation
that your body can endure, but something is missing (besides the
fat, that is). And that is, your breast!
