Plastic Surgery: Make Miracles Happen!

Humans have this almost insatiable desire to conquer and transform their surroundings. Miraculous inventions and technologies make this possible every day. Perhaps the last frontier to conquer is the one closest to home: our own bodies. Although these technologies have been in process for centuries, most of them are just now coming to fruition. With every passing day, some miraculous invention comes to light and helpsplastic surgery all of us enjoy the developments of the medical field.

One of these seemingly-miraculous innovations is plastic surgery. It continuously grows safer and cheaper—in other words, more accessible to the common man (as opposed to just celebrities). And Dr. Weinstein can help give you the special, new look you’ve always wanted.

The Details of Plastic Surgery

Although plastic surgery is wide field and can be concerned with the medical correction of some body part, more often than not it is merely an aesthetic and cosmetic surgery. In these surgical procedures, the principles of plastic surgery are applied to reconstruct various features, mainly for the purpose of enhancing your personal beauty.

The major plastic surgery treatments include:
* Facial rejuvenation.
* Full body procedures, such as tummy tucks.
* Breast augmentation.
* Facelift through fillers.
* The removal of excess skin.
* Liposuction.

With most of these surgeries, the doctor will make cuts to inter or extract tissue and fat. The size and depth of these incisions depends on the type of procedure and amount of work being done. Similarly, the complete recovery period also varies from procedure to procedure, patient to patient, depending upon your body type and the work you received. However, no matter the surgery, the post-surgical care and maintenance is also crucial to the success of your plastic surgery.

One of the techniques available here at our office is skin grafting. Used in a variety of plastic surgeries, skin grafting works specifically with the epithelial cells of your skin to give you better results. No matter what specific techniques are used, however, you will work with our surgeon to develop a specific goal and treatment plan.

Are you Ready for Breast Implants?

Have you been considering getting breast implants and wondering whether or not you are ready for them? It is important to measure whether you are getting the breast implants because you want to or because you think that this is what society wants. This is why you need to examine why you really want breast implants.

For many women, breast implants are a way to make them look as they feel on the inside. Other women look at breast implants as a way to look more attractive. There are even women who get breast implants as a way to look more feminine for their job or career. The idea as to why you want breast implants is something that has to be examined thoroughly.

Along with the reasons why you are getting breast implants, the surgeon also needs to examine what your expectations are for these breast implants. Many women have expectations that are not possible with a single breast implant surgery. Instead, it may take a few different surgeries to achieve results, and patients need to understand this.Breast Implants in New Jersey

Here’s Why Liposuction is the Most Versatile Plastic Surgery Procedure

Recent figures by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery revealed that liposuction was the most popular surgical cosmetic procedure in 2013, surpassing breast augmentation, which reigned supreme in 2012. Dr. Weinstein’s vast experience, technical finesse, and aesthetic sense have made him one of the most sought after liposuction surgeons in New Jersey and neighboring areas.

Liposuction’s popularity is largely due to its versatile nature in getting rid of stubborn pockets of fat. In fact, this body contouring procedure can be performed on almost all parts of the body. The following body parts/problem areas respond particularly well to liposuction:

  • Double Chin – This is quite common among those who are overweight. Liposuction can significantly reduce excess fat in the chin and neck areas.
  • Bat Wings – The appearance of excess fat and sagging skin in the upper arms is often a result of massive weight loss. In addition to liposuction, flabby arms can also be addressed with an arm lift.
  • Buffalo Hump – Fat deposits located at the neck and upper back may be an adverse effect of steroid medications or overproduction of steroids by the body.
  • Belly Pooch/Muffin Top – Even women who are within their ideal body weight can have excess pockets of fat in the lower abdomen.
  • Love Handles – This refers to pockets of fat that accumulate on the sides of the abdomen. Love handles even plague the slimmest of women.
  • Saddlebags – This refers to excess fat in the upper thighs.
  • Kissing Thighs – You may have heard of the most recent obsession of women all over the world — the thigh gap. Unfortunately, not everyone can achieve that space in between the thighs through diet and exercise. Good thing liposuction on the inner thighs can help women appear sexy in their shorts, skinny jeans, and miniskirts.

At our practice, we consider liposuction more than just the removal of excess fat. Dr. Weinstein treats the procedure as an artistic process requiring more than just knowledge of the techniques. Explore your liposuction options with us by calling us at 858-633-7546 to schedule an appointment. We look forward to your visit!Liposuction-New Jersey

Dealing with Swelling After a Tummy Tuck

If there’s one constant following a tummy tuck, it would have to be swelling, medically known as edema. At our practice in New Jersey, we inform patients who are about to have a tummy tuck that swelling should be expected post-surgery. In addition, we offer the following tips to help deal with swelling and make their tummy tuck recovery easier, quicker, and more comfortable.

Tummy Tuck in New JerseyTake steps to make sure that are you sufficiently hydrated throughout recovery.

One might think that drinking a lot of water will only exacerbate swelling. However, keep in mind that the body is made up mostly of fluids and sufficient hydration is important to flush out toxins. In addition, sufficient hydration is also important to promote regular bowel movements and consequently reduce abdominal swelling.

Pay attention to your sodium intake.

Sodium makes your body retain water. Thus, it may be best to limit your intake of sodium-rich foods. You shouldn’t stop using salt altogether, as it also plays an important role in normal body functions. Moderation is the key. A good rule of thumb when reducing sodium intake is to avoid highly processed foods that have large amounts of salt. Focus instead on consuming foods from whole sources.

Move but don’t overdo it.

Physical activity can either reduce or exacerbate swelling. Although you need to take it easy during the first few weeks following surgery, you should not be totally glued to your bed the entire day. Inactivity will increase your risk of complications such as blood clot formation and may only intensify swelling. On the other hand, it is equally important to avoid the following activities, which can lead to complications:

  • Heavy lifting
  • Bending over
  • Jogging
  • Sex
  • Reaching above your head

Wear compression garments as instructed.

The pressure in compression garments helps reduce swelling and improves blood circulation. Improved blood circulation aids in faster wound healing and helps minimize scarring.

Do you still have questions concerning swelling following a tummy tuck? Get in touch with us today by calling 858-633-7546.
