Plastic Surgery and you.

Have you ever considered flying off to a great vacation spot and having your personal dreams come true? Our patients travel from throughout Europe and North America to relax in one of the country’s premier destinations and have their procedures such as breast augmentation in fort myers with the Schneider Centre for Plastic Surgery.
Laser hair removal has truly stepped into the 21st Century with the advent of the Soprano Laser Hair Removal system from Alma Laser. “I have personally tried numerous laser hair removal systems and I was dissatisfied with the results, the time it took to treat a region, and the significant pain”, said Dr. Schneider. “This system is fast and virtually painless”.
Aging of the mid-face, the lower-face, and the neck are caused by loss of volume and sagging of the skin, fat, and superficial muscle. Gravity, the loss of fat and bone volume, loss of tissue elasticity, and exposure to the environment, all play a role in these changes. Facelifts are designed to elevate and reposition the tissues that have fallen. Many different types of facelifts exist. Dr. Schneider prefers an approach that produces a natural appearance rather than a pulled tight look.

Liposuction and Abdominoplasty in Ft. Meyers…

The latest techniques maximize the amount of fat removed, minimize bleeding, and produce a smooth contour. The process begins with a consultation with Dr. Schneider. At the consultation, he will discuss with you your goals, evaluate the areas of concern, and together a treatment plan will be created. Liposuction is performed in our AAAHC certified operating room located in our office. For most patients, an intravenous sedation is utilized. Dr. Schneider will meet with you prior to the procedure and the areas of concern will be marked thus creating a road map for the procedure. Once you are asleep, small 4 millimeter incisions are made in inconspicuous hidden locations for the placement of the liposuction tubes known as cannula. An anesthetic fluid called toumescent solution is then injected into the regions to be treated. The toumescent solution contains two medicines: one that inhibits bleeding and the second that acts as an anesthetic for 12 -24 hrs. This solution allows much greater volumes of fat to be removed and makes the patient much more comfortable when they awaken. Once the solution is instilled the liposuction process is performed. At the conclusion, the incisions are closed and either a compressive garment, or kenesio-tape is applied to minimize swelling. To scheduke a consultation for liposuction in Fort Myers FL contact Dr Schneider at 239.690.612

Eye Surgery with Dr. Durboraw

Dr. Durboraw commonly addresses problems of the eyelids with surgery, from excess eyelid skin and drooping eyelids to malpositions of the eyelids. Skin cancer of the eyelids and surrounding area can become a complex reconstructive undertaking and there is no one more qualified than Dr. Durboraw in the surrounding region.

Ptosis is a condition where the eyelid margin has descended and is obscuring the pupil of your eye and your peripheral vision. People often describe their eyes as looking “half mast” when they are trying to fully open their eyes. Sometimes this is combined with excess eyelid skin which can be addressed simultaneously. If your peripheral vision is significantly obstructed, your insurance company will pay for the surgical repair of this condition. Make an appointment for evaluation.

Aging of the lower lids can often make patients feel they appear tired or “drawn”. Usually the problem involves a combination of excess eyelid skin and bulging fat pockets of the lower lid which accentuate the tear trough and exacerbate the appearance of dark circles. Although this is not considered medically necessary and will not be covered by your insurance, these problems can often be corrected through surgery. Make an appointment for evaluation.

Dr. Durboraw maintains offices in Idaho Falls, and Sun Valley, Idaho, along with Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Contact the main office of The Center for Aesthetics in Idaho Falls and a staff member will set up an appointment in the office closest to you.

Tummy Tuck In Michigan

Although the results of a tummy tuck are technically permanent, the positive outcome can be greatly diminished by significant fluctuations in your weight. For this reason, individuals who are planning substantial weight loss or women who may be considering future pregnancies may be advised to postpone a tummy tuck. Also, a tummy tuck cannot correct stretch marks, although these may be removed or somewhat improved if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised, generally those treated areas below the belly button.

The success and safety of your tummy tuck procedure depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. You’ll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle. The decision to have tummy tuck surgery is extremely personal and you’ll have to decide if the benefits will achieve your goals and if the risks and potential complications are acceptable.

Your plastic surgeon and/or staff will explain in detail the risks associated with surgery. You will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure that you fully understand the procedure you will undergo and any risks or potential complications. If your abdominoplasty is performed on an outpatient basis, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.
When choosing a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck, remember that the
surgeon’s experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.

What to expect when having a face lift

A face lift procedure will generally take several hours, although all surgeons will perform the procedure in his/her own way. The incisions will begin at the temples above the hairline, continue down in front of the ear, and continue behind the ear lobe and extend to the lower scalp. If the neck is part of the procedure, a small incision will be made under the chin.

Pain and discomfort may be a part of the recovery, but can be minimized through use of pain medication. It is normal for the skin to be numb for a few weeks to a month after the operation. Elevating your head and keeping it still for a few days after the procedure will help minimize swelling. The drain tube and bandages will generally be removed in one to five days, depending on recovery progress, and stitches will be removed after five days.

After the removal of the bandages, your face may still appear bruised and puffy; however, you will look normal within a few weeks. The scalp may take longer to heal, although most patients are back to work within about ten days of the surgery. After the third week after the procedure, you will look and feel much better.

While a face lift cannot stop or even slow down the aging process, it can set back the clock by cosmetically altering and adjusting the placement of the skin on your face and neck, as well as removing excess fat and tightening the muscles underneath the skin. If a face lift is performed, it may be accompanied by a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, nose reshaping, or other procedures.

Breast Surgery in Salt Lake City

The breast reconstruction process may begin at the time of your mastectomy or weeks to years after-wards. Immediate reconstruction means that the procedure begins at the same time as the mastectomy. It is important to know that any type of surgical breast reconstruction may take several steps to complete. Delayed reconstruction may be advisable if your surgeon anticipates healing problems with your mastectomy, or if you just need more time to consider your options. There are medical, financial and emotional considerations to choosing immediate versus delayed reconstruction. I didn’t realize there was so much to consider when having your breasts reconstructed… Looking for information and doing your homework on such surgeries is so important. Call for a consultation. Meeting with your prospective surgeon will help put your mind at ease.

Life after weight loss surgery

As a leading expert on face, breast and body contouring for patients who have undergone bariatric surgery or massive weight loss, Dr. Hoefflin performs all varieties of body contouring procedures. Patients can be confident that Dr. Hoefflin is dedicated toward patient care and providing his patients with natural and beautiful results. In patients who have lost massive weight, they are frequently left with inelastic and excessive skin that no longer can conform to their desired shape.

Patients that have lost large amounts of weight, either as a result of bariatric surgery or through diet and exercise demonstrate residual excess skin around their thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. In patients who are primarily concerned about their outer thighs and buttocks, Dr. Hoefflin performs lower body lift procedures to improve their appearance. If patient’s concern extends to their abdomen, then a belt lipectomy may be necessary. The result is a re-contouring of one’s tissues, thus restoring a more youthful and attractive appearance.

In cases where an individual has undergone dramatic weight loss, he or she may be left with loose, sagging skin on the upper arms. This is a common, though unfortunately unattractive side effect of significant weight loss. Brachioplasty, or arm lift, can help improve the appearance of the arms by a careful removal of excess skin beneath the arms and a tightening of the flabby tissue. Dr. Hoefflin’s team has extensive experience helping patients after successful weight loss look and feel better in their skin.
