Abdominoplasty – Houston Mid-Section Improvements

jen — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:22:19 +0000

Almost everyone who undergoes a significant, dramatic weight loss is going to have some amount of excess, sagging skin left over. Excess, sagging skin around the abdomen is also common in women who have had multiple pregnancies. It can be an emotionally traumatizing thing to deal with and can destroy confidence, as well as hinder fashion choices. People who are in good health and have been at a stable, healthy weight for at least 6 months, and who have excess skin around the abdomen are generally good candidates for Abdominoplasty.

Abdominoplasty is a procedure to remove the excess skin around the abdomen. There are several varying types of Abdominoplasty, or Tummy Tuck, procedures depending on the amount of work that needs to be done. One thing to keep in mind when considering an Abdominoplasty procedure is that the scar from this surgery will be permanent, but most plastic surgeons work hard to ensure that it will be easily hidden by most undergarments or swim wear.

The Woodlands – Breast Reduction Surgery

jen — Mon, 07 May 2012 21:49:41 +0000

Thousand of women every year in the U.S. alone opt to go bigger by enhancing their breasts through Breast Augmentation. For women who are born with heavy, large, overdeveloped breasts the concept of going smaller may seem to outsiders a strange choice considering the amount of women opting to go bigger these days. What many people who do not deal with over-sized breasts on a daily basis do not realize is that there are a number of physical and emotional strains associated with having large breasts. Often these women deal with chronic neck, shoulder and back pain. Large breasts can make social situation uncomfortable, fashion choices limited and physical activities very painful. Dr. Kim has helped a number of women lead more comfortable and pain-free lives through Breast Reduction surgery.

During a Breast Reduction surgery, Dr. Kim will make an incision around the areola (there are a few different incision options, depending on the amount that is being altered) and generally the areola will stay in tact to it’s original blood source and nerves. The excess fatty and glandular tissue and skin is removed. The areola may be repositioned, reshaped or re-sized to better match the new breasts shape. The remaining skin is then closed around the areola to create smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts.

BOTOX injections have helped countess men and women achieve a natural looking facial rejuvenation by effectively treating the premature signs of aging. This non-surgical procedure takes only a matter of minutes to administer and the results will last you approximately three to four months.

A consultation is the first step to achieving a more rejuvenated, rested, youthful appearance. Contact our office to schedule your consultation today to find out your facial rejuvenation options!

Eyelid Lift – Houston Blepharoplasty

jen — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:41:10 +0000

Our eyes often communicate more to others than the words we say. Our eyes can say, “I love you,” “How dare you forget to take out the trash,” “I’m scared,” and so much more. As we age, however, our eyes begin to communicate things we don’t always want them to say. The sagging skin and extra wrinkles seem to be telling everyone, “I haven’t slept in days,” or “I’m upset.”

It is the natural coarse of life and gravity to begin to pull us down , but now we have options to lift us up again. You don’t have to let your sagging eyes tell a story you don’t want it to tell. You can lift those drooping eyelids and be brought back to a more youthful expression that better represents the story of how you truly feel inside.

Houston Mommy Makeovers!

jen — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 13:26:27 +0000

Mommy Makeovers are a fairly new trend that is quickly gaining popularity around the world. Having children, for many women, is considered one of the greatest joys in life, but the after effects of pregnancy and breast feeding are often not. Child rearing can alter the shape of a woman’s body in ways that cannot always be improved through diet and exercise alone. Sagging or deflated breasts, and loose, extra skin are common complaints for many Moms. So, when diet and exercise fail to bring back the pre-baby body, many women turn to Mommy Makeovers to get back the figures and confidence they once enjoyed.

Mommy Makeovers are individually catered to each Mom’s needs and goals, but most commonly include some combinations of Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation/Lift, and Liposuction. To learn more, contact our office to schedule your consultation today!

Breast Augmentation – Houston

jen — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 07:30:29 +0000

Deciding to have a Breast Augmentation or Breast Implant procedure requires making several decisions. The first and most important of which is choosing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with whom you feel comfortable and safe. It is important not only to check your Plastic Surgeon’s credentials but also to view photos of their previous patients to see if the results they have produced appeal to you. As with artists, Plastics Surgeon’s work can vary from Plastic Surgeon to Plastic Surgeon and it is important to find one who understands your aesthetic desires.

The next step is the consultation. In your consultation you and your prospective doctor will discuss the specifics of what you want to achieve and whether or not these are realistic. If you are in good health and have realistic goals, you will likely be considered an ideal candidate for the procedure. The next step then, in a Breast Implant procedure, is determining the type of implant you want, the size of implant you want, the shape, and surface type. In addition to this, and depending on the kind of implant you decide, there are also incision points to consider. At this time it may also be brought up that a Breast Lift in conjuncture with a Breast Implant may be the only way to achieve the look you desire.
