6 Reasons Why You Should Plan on Breast Augmentation in the New Year

It is already that time of year again! Time to start thinking about all you’ve accomplished in the past year and time to start planning for the new one. If you’ve been considering breast augmentation, there’s no better time to really put your plans into action. Read on for 6 reasons why now is the time to plan your breast augmentation surgery!

Why get breast augmentation?

Every woman has her own reasons for breast augmentation, but here are 6 good ones you should consider:

1. Breast augmentation can really increase your level of self-confidence. Has your chest always been the one part of your body that you are insecure about? Has it always made you feel self-conscious? Have you dreaded wearing a swimsuit or a cute summer dress? Breast augmentation can finally put you at ease about the way you look.

2. Breast augmentation can help you have the body you want after weight loss. An unfortunate fact about weight loss is that the breasts lose fullness when you lose weight. With breast augmentation, you can have the best of both worlds: you can be at your ideal weight while still having the full chest you would like.

3. Breast augmentation surgery recovery is relatively quick. Your downtime will most likely be only about 1 to 2 weeks, and you can get back to strenuous activity after 4 to 6 weeks.

4. Breast implants are long-lasting. Most last for about 15 years, but some can last for a lifetime.

5. Breast augmentation is done with the latest in technology, so you don’t have to wonder what the results will be. You’ll be able to see what you’ll look like with different sizes of implants with Vectra three-dimensional imaging.

6. Breast procedures are very safe. Every procedure does carry some risk, but in general breast implants have very few adverse effects and risks of complications.

Did you know the Weinstein Plastic Surgery Center can help with hand pain?

If you’ve ever had a cosmetic procedure done at Weinstein Plastic Surgery Center, you know you can trust Dr. Weinstein and his staff to give you the beautiful skin, face, and body that you’ve always wanted. But did you know that you can also count on Dr. Weinstein for help with painful hand conditions?

What hand conditions can be treated?

Your plastic surgeon can help with many different hand problems. Here are just a few:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome. The carpal tunnel is on the palm side of the hand. The median nerve runs through this “tunnel,” and if it is too narrow it can compress the nerve. Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome may have tingling or numbness. Surgery can help to relieve the pressure on the median nerve.

• Rheumatoid arthritis. This is a chronic disease that results in painful and inflamed joints. Joints may also be swollen and stiff. Surgery to remove tissue from inflamed joints, repositioning tendons, or even implanting artificial joints can help patients to find relief.

• Dupuytren’s contracture. Surgery is the only treatment for this disorder in which the skin and tissue on the palm side of the hand develop scar-like tissue that makes it difficult for the hand to move and function normally. After surgery, the fingers and hand can move more freely.

What happens after hand surgery?

Every hand surgery is different, and so the recovery time involved can vary from patient to patient. Your hand will have to remain immobilized for some time and you will need time to heal before you can get back to your regular activities. Besides medication to help you feel more comfortable while you heal, you might also be prescribed therapy such as hand exercises, heat and massage therapy, splinting, traction, and/or electrical nerve stimulation.

You don’t realize how delicate the hand is and how important good hand function is until you develop a problem. Don’t worry, though – you can count on Dr. Weinstein and the Weinstein Plastic Surgery Center in Chester, New Jersey, to relieve hand pain and help to restore hand function. Call (908) 879-2222 for an appointment today!
