Facelift techniques have advanced dramatically in recent years to produce subtle and natural-looking results. A facelift can reverse signs of aging like jowls, sagging skin in the midface, and deep creases below the eyes and at the corners of the mouth. The results are a smoother, younger-looking face with a more defined jawline. Many patients also choose to combine their facelift with another procedure.

By combining plastic surgery procedures, you can achieve your ideal look faster and with a single recovery period. A skilled and experienced plastic surgeon can combine procedures to give you a naturally younger and fresher appearance, as well as bring your facial features into better harmony.

Here are a few recommended procedures that can greatly complement your facelift results.

Brow Lift

A facelift corrects the effects of aging in the middle and lower part of the face — below your eyes. A brow lift, or forehead lift, restores a younger look to the upper part of the face. It subtly raises droopy eyebrows for a more alert look. It also smooths the lines and furrows on the forehead and between the eyebrows that can make a person appear angry, sad, or tired.

By combining a facelift with a brow lift, you’ll get a more complete refresh of your face without additional recovery time. You’ll look younger, more relaxed, and more alert.

Eyelid Surgery

The other upper-face procedure that is commonly combined with a facelift is eyelid surgery. The same aging process that causes the skin on the lower face and around the jaws to stretch and sag can cause the eyelids to droop, giving you a sleepy and prematurely aged appearance.

Upper eyelid surgery can make the eyes appear brighter, younger, and more attentive, and can remove fatty deposits from the lids that make them heavy and difficult to raise fully. Lower eyelid surgery lifts drooping lower lids and reduces the puffy appearance caused by fat buildup below the eyes.

Combining a facelift with eyelid surgery shifts the focus of your face from loose, hanging skin around your jawline to brighter, more beautiful, and alert eyes.

Nose Surgery or Rhinoplasty

Nose surgery or rhinoplasty can also be performed in combination with a facelift. As the central feature of the face, the nose defines your appearance in important ways. Nose surgery can change the size or shape of the nose in many ways and is a highly customized procedure. It can change the shape of the tip of your nose, modify the bridge of your nose, narrow the span between your nostrils, and even change the angle between the nose and the upper lip.

Rhinoplasty can be performed to make subtle changes that keep your nose in harmony with your rejuvenated face after a facelift. Or it can be done to make more significant changes to your nose to bring it into better balance with your other facial features.

Mommy Makeover Surgery 

What to Expect During Your Mommy Makeover Surgery Consultation The first crucial element that lays the foundation for a successful cosmetic surgery is the preoperative consultation. It is a session where you will closely engage with your surgeon prior to your mommy makeover procedure. This not only helps you in understanding the procedure but also enables you to make more objective decisions.  

During this consultation, you will get an opportunity to ask questions to your surgeon and clarify all of your doubts before proceeding. Your surgeon will provide all instructions beginning from the preparation to recovery. Your cosmetic surgeon will evaluate your candidacy for different procedures than may be included in your mommy makeover surgery. 

plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides mommy makeover surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.  

Getting to know more about mommy makeover 

A dedicated surgeon will strive hard to educate you on all aspects of the mommy makeover. Your surgeon will discuss both the benefits and risks of a mommy makeover, before going through the steps involved in the procedure and the estimated recovery after the surgery is complete.  

Your surgeon will motivate you to make a judicious and well-considered decision. It’s vital for you to make this decision independently, and not under the influence of someone else. If you make a careful decision, then you are more likely to attain better satisfaction levels from the procedure.  

Treatment options 

Mommy makeover plastic surgery will likely include several procedures in order to meet your cosmetic goals. During the preoperative consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your unique anatomical and personal aesthetic requirements so that they could create the right configuration.  

Your surgeon will discuss with you various procedures such as tummy tuck, breast augmentation, body lift, liposuction, breast lift, and some non-surgical treatments that may be included in the mommy makeover. Based on your requirements, they will create a customized mommy makeover plan.  

Questions and answers 

Feel free to ask questions to your surgeon during the consultation process. Your surgeon will encourage you to share your doubts and concerns so that they could clear them before proceeding. A respectable surgeon will provide comprehensive and accurate answers to all questions.  

It is a perspicacious idea to create a list of questions in advance so that you could ask all of them during your consultation. This will ensure you that none of the vital questions are missed out.  

Guidelines, images, and costs associated with mommy makeover  

Your surgeon will utilize the preoperative consultation to discuss the general guidelines that need to be followed before and after the surgery. You should be well-prepared to follow these instructions diligently in order to achieve a safe and predictable outcome.  

You should frankly ask questions about the estimated costs and your financing options. You may request for mommy makeover before and after images of your surgeon’s past patients, so that you could get a realistic perspective on what to expect after the surgery.

Everyone is advised to wash our hands frequently and thoroughly to protect ourselves from COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends washing hands with soap and cold or lukewarm water for at least 20 seconds to rid our hands of germs. When we’re out and about, without access to soap and water, using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol is a good alternative. Whether using soap and water or hand sanitizer, we’re advised to clean the fronts and backs of our hands, between our fingers, and around our nails.

That’s good advice to protect yourself from disease, but what about protecting the skin on your hands from the dryness that frequent handwashing and sanitizing can cause?

How Frequent Handwashing and Sanitizing Can Lead to Dry and Cracked Skin

Soap and water wash away germs, but they can also strip your skin of the natural, protective oils that act as a shield on the surface of the skin and help it retain moisture. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can be even harsher on the skin, as they have a powerful drying effect.

However, dry skin is not a good enough reason to wash your hands less frequently. The science behind the disease-prevention effects of handwashing is strong. But you also need to take good care of the skin on your hands. Dryness can lead to rashes, itching, flaking, and even cracks in the skin. These effects are not only uncomfortable, they can leave you vulnerable to superficial skin infections.

How to Wash Your Hands to Avoid Dryness

Use a mild, moisturizing soap. Any type of soap will remove germs if you wash your hands thoroughly. That includes dish soap, moisturizing soap, and “natural” soap. The ingredients in moisturizing soap, such as glycerin, lanolin, and hyaluronic acid, help to counteract the drying effect of washing. Soaps with natural moisturizing ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, avocado oil, or jojoba oil can also help reduce skin dryness. Liquid soaps can be less drying than bar soap.

Added chemicals and fragrances in some soaps can irritate the skin. If you have sensitive skin, eczema, or a history of allergies to any cosmetic products, take special care to choose a mild soap without irritating ingredients.

Wash hands with cold or lukewarm water. Hot water is no more effective in removing germs than cold water, and it is much harder on your skin.

Pat your hands dry with a clean towel. Don’t rub or scrub at your hands to dry them. Just dab to get the excess moisture off, as rubbing can further irritate skin that is already at a disadvantage from the washing.

Moisturize Immediately After Every Handwashing

Right after you wash your hands, while they are still slightly damp, apply a thick moisturizer to your skin.

Creams and ointments are better than lotions for moisturizing, and moisturizers that come in a tube or jar are better than those that come in a pump bottle. Effective ingredients to look for include mineral oil, petrolatum, lanolin, or glycerin. Some prefer to use natural moisturizing oils, such as coconut oil or shea butter. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, look for a fragrance-free hand cream that doesn’t include chemicals that might irritate your skin.

Moisturizers restore the protective barrier that natural oils in your skin would normally provide without frequent hand-washing. Despite the name, moisturizers don’t add moisture to your skin. Instead, they help your skin retain water. They also soothe irritated skin and restore a smooth texture to skin that is rough or flaky from dryness.

Try Extra Nighttime Treatments

If the skin on your hands is still dry or irritated, even with gentle washing and regular applications of moisturizer, you might try an extra treatment at night. Before you go to bed, apply moisturizing cream or ointment — petroleum jelly is a good choice — and cover your hands with cotton gloves. The gloves help keep the product on your skin and provide an extra layer of moisture retention.

Mommy Makeover 

Giving birth is a most fulfilling experience for a woman, but it does take a toll on her physical appearance. Pregnancy can cause development of fat pockets in certain areas, loss of skin elasticity, and uneven body contours. During breastfeeding, your breasts may increase in size, and eventually sag when the lactation ends.  

Pregnancy also causes changes in the abdominal region. Your abdominal muscles may sag, skin may stretch, and in some cases, the lower body may also lose its sharp, youthful contours. These conditions can be effectively reversed with a mommy makeover cosmetic surgery, which will restore your pre-pregnancy figure.  

At the time of your initial consultation, the surgeon will determine whether you are a fit candidate for a mommy makeover. plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides mommy makeover surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA and surrounding locations. 

Your Body Fat is Resistant to Diet and Exercise 

After your pregnancy, if you have been struggling to get rid of excess fatty tissue deposits in certain areas of the body, or have loose skin and distended breasts, you may want to consider a mommy makeover plastic surgery. It may be difficult to eliminate loose skin and stretch marks through diet or exercise. If the fat bulges are stubborn and resistant to natural fat loss efforts, you may be a candidate for a mommy makeover.  

You are not Planning another Pregnancy 

Although you can have children after your mommy makeover cosmetic surgery, but it will compromise the aesthetic effects you have achieved through your surgery. Therefore, an ideal candidate for this procedure would be someone who has no plans for another pregnancy in the foreseeable future. You should also not have any plans to undergo a major weight loss surgery after a mommy makeover as that will again leave you with loose skin.  

Normal or C-Section Delivery  

You can be a candidate for a mommy makeover, no matter whether you had a normal delivery or through a C-section. The C-section delivery may leave some scarring around your abdomen, which can be improved with a mommy makeover. If you have had hernia after childbirth (particularly if you had twins or triplets) it can also be resolved with a mommy makeover surgery. 

At least Six Months have Passed after Childbirth 

Childbirth is a major physical event for your body, and you need time to nurse your baby and allow your body to recover naturally. It may be ideal to wait for about six months before you consider a mommy makeover surgery. During this period, your breasts, abdomen, and other body areas will settle into their natural shape. This will allow you to discuss a more appropriate and comprehensive mommy makeover plan with your surgeon. 

Other Pre-requisites  

You should be in good general health, and not have any underlying medical conditions that could interfere with your surgery or recovery. You should be committed to avoid smoking for a few weeks before and after the surgery as per your surgeon’s instructions.  

Candidates with realistic expectations will achieve the best satisfaction levels after their mommy makeover surgery. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. David Kim receives patients from Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and nearby areas for mommy makeover surgery.

Dermal fillers are an easy and effective way to treat yourself to a younger and more attractive look. They can add volume to your cheeks, enhance your lips, fill the hollows under your eyes, and soften facial lines and wrinkles. But the improvements they make aren’t permanent. The natural substances used in fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, are gradually metabolized by your body. Depending on the filler used and how you care for your skin, you may need refresher injections after six months to two years.

Are there things you can do to make your filler treatments last longer? There certainly are. We’ll explain some of the key ones here.

Protect Your Skin from the Sun

The UV rays in sunlight have a powerful aging effect on the skin, causing roughness and discoloration and speeding the development of lines and wrinkles. They can also accelerate the breakdown of the substances used in fillers. Protect your skin and your investment in fillers by shielding your face from excess sun exposure. Avoid being out in the sun during peak exposure hours (between 10 am and 3 pm). If you do need to be out in the sun, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and wear sunglasses and a hat with a wide brim.

Practice Healthy Skin Care

Keep your skin moisturized by drinking plenty of water and regularly applying a high-quality moisturizer. This will enhance the effects of the fillers and slow their absorption by your body. If you’re not sure which moisturizer to use, your plastic surgeon or filler provider can recommend skincare products that will complement your specific filler treatment.

Manage Your Stress

High levels of stress trigger the release of hormones that speed the skin’s aging process. You can’t eliminate stress from your life, but you can learn ways to manage it. Pay attention to the signs of stress and practice stress-lowering techniques such as meditation, yoga, or simply deep breathing. Habits of positive thinking can also help, such as learning to accept what you can’t control and reminding yourself of everything you are grateful for.

Eat Healthy Foods

Eating a healthy balance of foods, including whole grains, lean proteins, and several servings of fruits and vegetables a day can extend the effect of fillers while improving your overall health. Highly processed foods and added sugars can increase inflammation in your body, which can speed up the rate at which your fillers are metabolized.

Get Regular Exercise, but in Moderation

The speed at which fillers are absorbed by your body is closely related to your metabolism. Regular exercise is important to good health and the health of your skin, but overdoing it with intensive exercise can shorten the life of your filler treatment. If you’re an athlete or avid about your fitness, that may be an acceptable trade-off. Just keep in mind that you may need refresher treatments sooner if you step up your workouts.

Plan for Maintenance Treatments

The best way to extend your filler results is to plan for regular maintenance or “top off” treatments, rather than waiting until your results wear off. This will keep you looking fresher and younger in a consistent way. You might also combine maintenance filler treatments with injections of Botox, which can extend the filler results by reducing muscle movement.

Mommy Makeover 

The mommy makeover procedure is typically undertaken as elective surgery for cosmetic improvement, which means that you will need to pay for its costs out-of-pocket. This is a customizable procedure, and the costs may vary significantly between patients. To make an informed choice, you should discuss the costs involved in detail during the pre-operative consultation. 

Various financing alternatives will be available to you to pay for this cosmetic surgery procedure in easy monthly installments. With financing support, the cost is not a prohibitive factor for many women seeking to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies through the mommy makeover procedure.  

plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides mommy makeover surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations. 

Variable Costs 

During the pre-operative consultation, your surgeon will assess your unique aesthetic and anatomical needs and then recommend a suitable combination of procedures to be included in your mommy makeover surgery plan. The overall cost also depends on the procedures that form a part of your individualized mommy makeover.  

While some patients need only minor surgical correction in the breasts or tummy area, others require more significant enhancement in many areas such as the butt, thighs, abdomen, breasts, and upper arms. The procedure costs in every case will depend on the complexity and extent of the surgery involved.  

Today many women choose to add minimally invasive or non-invasive cosmetic body contouring or skin resurfacing procedures involving laser, radio frequency, ultrasound, cooling techniques, or injections along with their mommy makeover plastic surgery procedure. Each individual procedure’s cost will add to the total costs of your mommy makeover.  

Cost Effectiveness 

Your upfront costs of a mommy makeover costs will possibly be higher than the cost of an individual cosmetic surgery procedure. However, a mommy makeover will have a better cost-effectiveness. The reason is that in mommy makeover procedures, costs associated with surgery such as surgical venue expenses, anesthesia costs, surgeon’s fee, and recovery related costs are incurred only one time.  

In a combined procedure such as a mommy makeover, you will undergo the recovery process only once. Therefore, the overall recovery time will be reduced and the post-operative expenses will be reduced in comparison to a situation where you undergo separate surgical procedures at different times. 

Cost Factors 

The cost of the mommy makeover surgery will be affected by some key factors such as the practice location, surgical venue costs, anesthesia costs, and post-op expenses. The costs of the procedure will likely be higher in busy metropolitan cities and prime urban centers in comparison to small, interior towns.  

The fee charged by your surgeon will depend on their experience, qualifications, and reputation in the field of aesthetic surgery. The mommy makeover procedure can be performed at an accredited surgery center or a hospital, and the costs and benefits will vary in each case.  

Financing 

You may consider financing your mommy makeover through third-party medical care financing companies. These firms offer patients competitive rates of interest, faster loan approvals, and convenient monthly installments for elective surgery procedures such as a mommy makeover.

Stretch marks are common in parts of the body that are prone to expanding and contracting.  Especially for women who have been pregnant, nursed an infant, or gained and lost weight, stretch marks on the breasts can detract from the beauty and femininity of the breasts. Many women with stretch marks on their breasts wish for the smooth, unmarred skin of their youth.

Will breast implants fix stretch marks? Maybe yes and maybe no. Let’s look at what stretch marks are and what causes them, then consider how breast implants might help.

What Are Stretch Marks and What Causes Them?

Stretch marks are the streaks and stripes that appear in the skin when it is stretched. They are often pink, purple, or red when they first appear, then gradually fade to more closely match your natural skin tone. They are a type of scar tissue, left behind when the skin — most often on the breasts, abdomen, and thighs — stretches with puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes.

Hormones play a role in their formation, as do genetics. If other women in your family have stretch marks on their breasts, you’re more likely to get them too. People who take steroids for long-term treatment of an illness are also more likely to develop stretch marks.

Will Breast Implants Fix Stretch Marks?

Breast implants that moderately increase the size of the breasts can make certain types of stretch marks less noticeable. If you have stretch marks that take the form of wrinkles and creases, adding volume to the breasts with implants will firm and smooth the surface skin and make these marks much less visible. A plastic surgeon can advise you about whether your stretch marks might be made less visible with implants.

Care must be taken, though, to choose a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon. If you are prone to developing noticeable stretch marks, getting implants that are too large can stretch your skin so much that it worsens the marks or creates new ones. If stretch marks are a concern, a good plastic surgeon will factor that into decisions about the size and placement of the implants.

Stretch marks on the underside of the breast can also be removed as part of a breast lift procedure.

What Else Can I Do to Make My Stretch Marks Less Visible?

Fortunately, most stretch marks fade over time. If yours appear dark or discolored now, chances are they will be less visible in a year or two in the same way scars from surgery or injury gradually come to more closely match your skin tone.

Stretch marks that don’t fade with time can be treated with topical creams and lotions. RetinA cream can help speed the fading of stretch marks when they first appear. Other creams and lotions work to exfoliate the skin or boost the concentration of collagen and elastin for improved skin resilience. But read the instructions and cautions carefully, as some of these treatments are not to be used during pregnancy or with certain medical or skin conditions.

While getting rid of stretch marks shouldn’t be your primary reason for considering breast implants, making these marks less visible can be an added benefit of the enhancement in some cases.

Factors Affecting the Cost

Breast lift with augmentation plastic surgery costs may differ between two practices and sometimes even between two patients at the same practice. Here are some of the key factors that will impact the costs of your surgery.

 

Location of the Practice 

The average living costs are often higher in busy metropolitan cities and prime urban centers compared to smaller towns located in the interior regions.

Surgeon’s Fee

plastic surgeons will adopt advanced surgical techniques and technologies, follow the latest safety protocols, and make sure that their patients receive the best standards of care and personalized attention at every step of their procedure. 

Anesthesia and Surgical Room Costs

The anesthesiologist will remain present throughout in the surgery room to monitor your response and may charge a fee according to their skills and experience. 

Your breast lift with augmentation procedure may be performed at an accredited surgery center, a private surgical facility, or a hospital. Each option has different costs and benefits associated with, and this will affect the overall monetary amount of your procedure.

Breast Implant Price Tag

One of the elements in breast lift with augmentation surgery costs is the cost of breast implants. Traditional saline implants may be slightly more affordable compared to silicone implants. 

The latest qualities in ultra cohesive silicone implants are going to financially impact you more, but will provide you superior value. Your choice of implant type, size and shape will influence the overall costs of the procedure to some extent.
