You probably know that cosmetic breast surgery offers appealing options for improving your appearance. But do you know the difference between the benefits of breast lift in New Jersey and breast augmentation in New Jersey?

Among the most popular plastic surgery procedures, breast lift and breast augmentation are particularly appealing to women who have lost breast volume and elasticity after pregnancy and nursing. But the breast procedures also appeal to women who want to balance uneven breasts and revive sagging breasts as a result of weight loss.

Breast Lift

Also known as mastopexy, breast lift changes the shape rather than the size of the breasts. In breast lift surgery, the nipples and areola often are moved higher on the breast and centered appropriately. Extra sagging skin is then removed from the breasts. Removing the excess skin allows your New Jersey breast surgeon Peter Hyans, MD, FACS, or Reza Momeni, MD, FACS, to tighten and lift the skin and restore a more youthful breast. Scars from breast lift are minimal and generally located beneath the breasts where they are less noticeable. Over time, most breast lift scars fade considerably.

Breast Augmentation

Also known as augmentation mammoplasty, breast augmentation is a procedure to enlarge the size of the breasts. In breast augmentation surgery, an implant is inserted to add volume to the breast. In addition to creating a more appealing bust line, breast implants can be used for reconstructive surgery after a mastectomy.

Breast Lift With Breast Augmentation

Many women choose breast lift with breast augmentation for an outstanding outcome for their breast surgery. The combination of procedures is appropriate for women who have small breasts as well as drooping breasts and sagging breasts.

If you are interested in having breast lift or breast augmentation in New Jersey, your New Jersey cosmetic surgeon will explain all aspects of the procedures and tell you why either procedure or a combination of the surgeries would be best for you.

What is Botox Cosmetic?

Botox is an extremely safe and well-researched substance that can be injected into the skin to selectively target wrinkles. It also has been used for years to treat migraines and other medical conditions. But as a cosmetic treatment, Botox can help reduce signs of aging. It often is used on the face to prevent lines on the forehead and around the eyes and mouth from forming and deepening.

Who can have treatment with Botox?

If you would like to improve your appearance and have realistic expectations about what your results might be, you could be ideal for Botox treatment. But only a New Jersey plastic surgeon like Peter Hyans, MD, FACC, or Reza Momeni, MD, FACC, can tell you whether Botox is right for you.

If you are pregnant or nursing or have any major medical problems you should not have Botox. If you take blood-thinning medication such as aspirin,  you should stop taking it 1 week before your Botox injection. If you are in good health, ask how Botox treatment can be used to help you look and feel your best!

What are some of risks associated with Botox?

Botox injections are safe when a qualified professional administers them. If you have Botox treatment, you might experience temporary minor redness, bruising, swelling, and pain at the injection site. Most people suggest their Botox treatment does not have noticeable side effects that last more than a few hours.

What are some of the benefits of Botox?

Because Botox is minimally invasive, it is a great alternative to many other cosmetic procedures. In addition, the risk of serious side effects is lower with Botox compared with invasive procedures.

There is no down time with Botox either! If you have Botox injections, you will be able to leave your doctor’s office and return to your normal activities as soon as your treatment if completed.

How long does Botox last?

When Botox is used for cosmetic purposes, the results can last anywhere from 3 to 4 months. To maintain the outstanding results Botox offers, you will need to have ongoing treatments.

Plastic Surgery Procedures and Financing

The most commonly financed cosmetic procedure is breast augmentation. Other breast surgeries such as breast reduction, breast lift, and breast reconstruction after a mastectomy also are popular and often-financed plastic surgery procedures.

Insurance does not cover cosmetic breast surgeries; however, insurance sometimes covers reconstructive breast surgery after mastectomy and some breast reduction surgeries.

Ask about financing for other plastic surgery procedures, including rhinoplasty, tummy tuck, face and neck lift, and eyelid surgery, among others.

Cost and Financing

It’s important to review the details of your insurance plan to determine whether and what amount of your surgery might be covered. You should be sure to find out about your deductibles and copays for your doctor visits.

You can plan and save for your surgery. But finance companies often can give you monthly payment options so that you don’t have to postpone your goals! Ask about no-interest payments. In some cases, you can secure financing at no interest if you pay your loan back in 12 to 18 months.

The goal of tummy tuck surgery is to remove excess fat and skin along the lower front of the torso that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. Muscles in the abdomen often weaken and separate over time and as a result of weight gain, creating an unattractive abdominal pouch that cannot be corrected with diet and exercise.

If you would like a smoother, more youthful abdomen, tummy tuck surgery might be right for you!

Important Facts About Tummy Tuck Surgery

Our New Jersey plastic surgeons, Peter Hyans, MD, and Reza Momeni, MD, want you to know that:

• Of the 7 in 10 women who want cosmetic surgery, many rank tummy tuck as the procedure they want most
• Many patients suggest the tummy tuck procedure greatly improves their self esteem, makes them feel more comfortable overall, and changes their lives for the better
• Cosmetic abdominal procedures (abdominoplasty) include the mini tummy tuck, which involves removing only a small amount of tissue and skin as well as major abdominoplasty, in which the entire abdomen and underlying muscles are tightened

If you want a sleeker, more youthful shape, consider having a tummy tuck!

Who Gets Tummy Tucks?

Many people who want a tummy tuck are fit, but cannot flatten their stomachs through diet and exercise. In addition, women who cannot regain a flat stomach after pregnancy are good candidates for a tummy tuck.

The tummy tuck is perfect for people who:

• Are not going to have any more children and want to regain their prepregnancy shape
• Have an abdominal pouch that does not respond to diet and exercise
• Have abdominal muscles that are weak and have separated as a result of age or surgery, including cesarean sections
• Have lost a significant amount of weight and have excess skin on the abdomen

To qualify for a tummy tuck, you should be reasonably fit, maintaining a stable weight, and in overall good health. Candidates for a tummy tuck should not smoke.

“It’s important to have realistic expectations about the results of your abdominoplasty,” says Dr. Hyans. “Still, patients are usually delighted with their results!”

During your consultation, your New Jersey plastic surgeon will discuss your goals, risks and benefits of the procedure, and tell you what you can expect. He or she also will answer all your questions and explain what you must do to recover from your surgery.

What is blepharoplasty?

During blepharoplasty, your New Jersey plastic will make an incision along the natural folds of your upper eyelids and/or below the lashline of the lower eyelids to remove excess fat and skin so that your eyelids appear younger and fresher. In some cases, the tissues may be repositioned to create a natural outcome.

In some cases, a different technique called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty may be used. This involves having an incision on the inside area of the lower lid instead of on the outside. The approach is excellent for preventing the appearance of an external scar, but it will not allow your plastic surgeon to remove excess skin.

Blepharoplasty also is known as eyelid surgery. It can be performed as a cosmetic and corrective procedure, depending on your needs.

How can eyelid surgery change the way I look?

As people age, fluid and fat accumulates around the eye area. The muscles around the eyes also begin to lose elasticity. As a result, the skin around your eyes can sag and droop, making you look older and tired. Blepharoplasty New Jersey is an eyelid lift. It eliminates the sagging and puffiness around your eyes for a fresher, younger, and natural look. The simple procedure can make some people look as much as 10 years younger!

What can I expect from blepharoplasty?

New Jersey cosmetic surgeons usually complete the eyelid lift procedure in 1 to 3 hours under local anesthesia. You will be able to go home after your surgery. Your doctor will tell you how to care for your incisions so that you heal properly and quickly. if you need pain medication, your doctor can prescribe something so that you are comfortable the first few days after your surgery.
