Breast and Body» Breast Augmentation Breast AugmentationFull, shapely breasts can make any woman feel more feminine, beautiful, and self-assured. We believe that every woman deserves to love her body; that’s why we have mastered the art of breast augmentation. Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to increase and enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breast. The result is a more curvaceous, sexy bustline and a natural, sculpted look.During this outpatient procedure, an incision is made around the areola, the dark circle of skin surrounding the nipple, and a saline filled implant is carefully inserted either under or above the pectoral muscles. Some doctors prefer to place the implant under the chest muscles; doing so allows the muscles to act as a “built in elastic bra.” Once the implant is in place, the incision is stitched closed. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and it takes approximately one hour to complete. During recovery, patients typically experience breast sensitivity, soreness, swelling, and possible temporary decreased nipple sensation, but most side effects subside as breasts heal (usually within three to six weeks).To learn more about breast augmentation, please contact Dr. David Glick today.View breast augmentation before and after photos Breast LiftPregnancy, nursing, excessive weight loss or gain, or the natural aging process can cause breasts to lose their natural elasticity and breasts may begin to sag or hang. Breast lift can take years off your body by correcting a drooping bust line and restoring your curves to their youthful state. During the procedure, excess skin and tissue are trimmed away and the bustline is tightened and lifted. Remaining tissue and the nipples will be repositioned to create the most natural-looking results. Risks include scarring, temporary bruising, swelling, and loss of feeling in the breasts or nipples. Nonetheless, breast lift is considered an extremely safe, effective procedure. The procedure takes one or more hours to complete and is often performed in conjunction with breast augmentation.

Oversized breasts can make a woman feel self-conscious and embarrassed as well as physically uncomfortable. Breast reduction is a cosmetic procedure during which the breasts are made smaller, lighter, and more proportionate to the body. The breast reduction procedure begins with an incision, which is made around the areola (the dark circle of skin surrounding the nipple) and below the natural curve of the breast. Next, excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened around the newly contoured breast. The procedure may take up to three hours and is performed under anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Although swelling, temporary bruising, and some pain is likely, these side effects diminish and disappear as the breasts heal.

This is particularly true for the legs, buttocks, hips, stomach, arms, chin, neck, and ankles. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets these problem areas and leaves your body more sculpted and toned. Liposuction begins with a small incision in the area to be treated. Next, a thin, hollow tube is inserted into the incision, and fat cells, pockets, and tissues are vacuumed out and discarded. Liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis under anesthesia and can last two or more hours. Common side effects include temporary bruising, numbness, soreness, and burning sensations, but most of these effects will subside within a few days’ or weeks’ time. Once the area has healed, the patient should notice a firmer, tighter physique. To learn more about liposuction, please contact Dr. David Glick today.

Luckily, there is a solution. Abdominoplasty, or “tummy tuck,” is a cosmetic procedure sure to give you a sleeker more defined abdominal section. Abdominoplasty begins with an incision made from one hip to the other, creating a skin flap. Next, the skin is separated from the abdominal muscles, which are then tightened, narrowing the waistline and flattening the midsection. The flap of skin is then folded down and excess skin is removed. Last, the flap is replaced and the incision is stitched closed. The entire procedure takes between two and five hours, depending on how much work is needed. Bruising and swelling (which typically subside within 10 days) are the most common side effects of abdominoplasty. Please contact our office today to find out more about abdominoplasty.

But unfortunately, extreme weight loss—such as that experienced by a recipient of bariatric surgery—can leave the skin stretched, sagging, and hanging and buttocks flat and unshapely. A body lift will trim away excess skin and tighten remaining tissue, leaving the body taut and toned. The techniques used in body lift are very similar to those used in abdominoplasty, except that the body lift is a more involved, in-depth procedure. Body lift results can be life changing. To learn more about this procedure, please contact Dr. David Glick’s plastic and restorative surgery practice today. Vaginoplasty (Rejuvenation or tightening of the vagina)Vaginoplasty, sometimes referred to as rejuvenation of the vagina, is a procedure that can correct the problem of stretched vaginal muscles resulting from multiple childbirths and can directly enhance one’s sexual life once again. Dr. Glick has been performing this procedure since the early 1990’s. He can tone the vaginal muscle, thus allowing his patients greater contraction strength and control and thereby permitting greater sensation during sexual experiences. Patients in average physical condition or good health can be a candidate for vaginoplasty surgery. The result is an immediate decrease in the size of vaginal muscles, resulting in more friction during sexual intercourse. Typically, patients are usually able to walk comfortably within a couple days and may return to sexual activities within 4-6 weeks.

The Labiaplasty is a plastic surgery procedure which reduces the size of the labia minora and/or the labia majora (outer folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening). A labiaplasty can also be performed following disease, injury, or especially after childbirth when the skin is stretched. Sometimes a hoodectomy may be performed at the same time to expose the clitoris in an attempt to increase sexual stimulation.
