Saline or Silicone breast implants are often used at the time of breast lift surgery in order to increase breast fullness and to improve cleavage. Most Los Angeles plastic surgeons prefer to place saline or silicone breast implants behind the chest muscle in a procedure which is call- submuscular mammoplasty. After first placing the breast prosthesis under the Pectoralis muscle, then, the sagging nipple is lifted to its normal position, and the excess loose breast skin is excised. Most Beverly Hills plastic surgeons who specialize in breast augmentation choose an inverted-t or “lollipop” incision for lifting breasts that are moderately sagging. Otherwise, a Periareolar incision which is located at the periphery of the areola is used to remove loose breast skin and to lift the position of the nipple. While most East coast cosmetic surgeons advocate performing a breast lift at a different time from breast implant insertion, most California plastic surgeons perform breast lift and augmentation simultaneously. Although the combination of breast augmentation and lift into one procedure (augmentopexy) is more difficult it has the advantage of only requiring one anesthetic.

The decision to undergo a breast lift surgery in Los Angeles often brings about the concern of scars that are necessary for lifting the breasts. Periareolar or Benelli mastopexy scars are often well camouflaged at the periphery of the areola. For women who have moderate to sever breast sagging, or ptosis, the only option for breast lift surgery is an inverted-T or anchor shaped scar. This lollipop scar of breast lift surgery often fades well in light to brown skin women. In women who have light skin but tend to hyper-pigment or keloid, breast lift scars can often be very noticeable. Therefore, before proceeding with breast enhancement surgery you should discuss whether you would need a breast lift with your plastic surgeon. In addition you should find out what type of breast lift you would need and have your plastic surgeon review before-and-after pictures of women who have had this procedure with you in detail.

Buttock augmentation is performed by few plastic surgeons throughout the United States, but especially in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, San Francisco, San Diego, New York, Miami, Huston, Atlanta, and Boston. Whi

le placement of butt implants used to be the main technique for buttock enlargement; today, many expert plastic surgeons that specialize in the Brazilian Buttock Augmentation prefer to use patient’s own body fat via fat grafting or injection technique. Buttock augmentation with the fat injection technique is safer and gives far more natural and better looking buttocks than the traditional Gluteal implants.

When looking at before-and-after pictures or photos of buttock augmentation you can see several changes. Not only the buttock looks bigger and fuller, but more importantly, it is shaped to enhance a woman’s beautiful curves. This is accomplished by liposuctioning or liposculputring the flanks, lower back, thighs, hips, and the abdomen in order to create an hour-glass figure. Finally, the buttock is lifted by micro-fat grafting the buttock gluteus muscles with patient’s own fat. The volume of the injected fat “plumps up” or lifts the buttocks.

To get the best buttock augmentation you need fat, and a lot of it! Therefore, I recommend patients who seeks buttock enlargement not to diet or lose weight prior to surgery, in order to have available excess body fat to be harvested for fat injection into the buttocks.

As you view photos of buttock augmentation on-line, and review plastic surgeon’s work throughout California, New York, Florida, Texas, and elsewhere, you realize that results vary widely depending on the different techniques of liposuction and fat grafting. These techniques are more a reflection of the cosmetic surgeon’s skills rather than the equipment used- UAL or “Smart Lipo”.
