Liposuction for Thin Patients

,

Rapid City SD Plastic SurgeonMany people love the summer months that give them the opportunity to flaunt a little more skin in sundresses, shorts, tanks, and skirts – allowing them to cool down while also looking fashionable. However, many others find they are extremely self-conscious to expose certain areas of their skin, choosing to remain covered up despite the oppressive summer heat. The human body is a complicated machine in which many different factors play a role in how the body looks, how easily it is to get in shape, and how much fat the body holds on to. Genetics play a huge role in every person’s body, making “trouble spots” different for everyone. There are some people who live at the gym and who still struggle with saddle bags or a lower abdomen pooch, while there are others who barely exercise at all and remain stick thin. Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that has helped millions of adults remove pockets of stubborn fat in order to enhance the shape of their body. (more…)

Beautiful Breasts For Summer

Facial Scar Revision

,

Cumming GA Facial Plastic SurgeonThe body has amazing healing properties, one of which is that the skin can heal itself after it has received trauma or damage.

Dermabrasion Procedure

,

Cumming GA Cosmetic Plastic SurgeryThe skin is a living organ, the largest living organ of the human body to be exact. As the skin lives and breathes each day, it must slough off old cells as it replaces new ones. Dermabrasion is an exfoliating skin procedure that uses a rotating instrument to remove the outer layers of skin on the face in order to improve the skin’s appearance. This procedure is successful for treating superficial damage and aging of the skin in order to help patients achieve a glowing and more youthful appearance.

Dermabrasion is a cosmetic skin procedure used to improve the look of facial skin. When dead skin cells remain on the face, the facial appearance can look dull and older than it truly is. Lingering dead skin cells leave the skin looking heavy, causing them to settle into fine lines and wrinkles so that they look deeper. By encouraging the sloughing off of these dead skin cells, dermabrasion reveals a new layer of skin.

Nasal Repair

box1Many people put a stigma around rhinoplasty and choose not to have any type of repair done to their nose in order to avoid having a “nose job.” While Hollywood and Desperate Housewives may have built up a stigma for this procedure, there are many people whose lives could be greatly improved by having nasal repair done. Not only is the nose a prominent feature of the face, but it is also a necessary factor for your breathing. It has been estimated that almost half of the American population has received some type of trauma to the nose from injury or accident, yet the majority of those afflicted do not have any repair work done. The body has incredible healing capabilities, yet it often does not heal in the exact ways that people want. This is especially true with the nose, and many are left with an undesired appearance or a nose that does not function properly.

,

Cumming GA Skin Rejuvenation DoctorFall is finally here, and now is the perfect time to start erasing all of the skin damage that was done over the past few months as you enjoyed the sun.

The skin naturally darkens by creating a dark brown pigment, called melanin, in order to protect itself from the damaging effects of the sun. This healthy production appears and fades in many people without any unwanted effects. However, in some cases, the sun causes an uneven increase in melanin production and will produce irregular coloring (pigmentation) of the skin. If your facial skin has been left with uneven pigmentation, there are tips and treatments that can help you regain a beautifully radiant complexion.
