Five Cosmetic Surgery Procedures to Get You “Bikini Ready”

The temperature is rising and summer is approaching. Everybody’s mind is on the beach, fun, and sun. the problem is that you may not be “bikini-ready”. here are five of the latest procedures from top New York City Plastic Surgeon, Matthew Schulman M.D., to help get you that perfect bikini body.

1. Botox-Assisted Breast Augmentation – Dr. Schulman has created a rapid recovery breast augmentation procedure using Botox. To eliminate those months of “high and unnatural” implants that results from traditional breast augmentation, Dr. Schulman carefully injects Botox into the chest muscle at the time of the augmentation. This allows the implants to drop into a natural position in a matter of weeks instead of months. there is also significantly less pain during the healing process. His technique is revolutionizing cosmetic breast surgery.

2. Cosmetic belly button surgery – now you can change your belly button. Maybe you have an “outie” and want an” innie”, or maybe you want to remove that belly piercing hole that doesn’t look so cool anymore. Using only local anesthesia, Dr. Schulman can improve the appearance of your belly button in about 45 minutes. You can resume normal activities immediately and will be looking great in that two-piece in only a few days.

3. Abdominal Etching Liposuction – This is meticulous liposuction that will create a ripped six-pack. This is done using very small liposuction cannulas in order to remove fat in just the right places. It is done through a small needle-hole in the belly button so there is no visible scarring.

4. Mons Reduction – the mons is the upper pubic area and let’s face it, sometimes there is a bulge that we just can’t get rid of through diet and exercise. Dr. Schulman can remove this fat through liposuction. in extreme cases, a large and sagging mons can be reduced and lifted through a c-section incision.

5. Brazilian Butt Lift – Want a fuller, rounder butt to fill out that bathing suit? now you can have fat removed from wherever you want, and then have it re-injected into your backside. This will give you a rounder, fuller, and more lifted backside. Because this is done with your own fat, the results are natural looking and feeling, and will last forever. A Brazilian butt lift is a safe alternative to dangerous buttock implants that can become infected or shift into an abnormal position.

North Carolina Plastic Surgeon Quickens Recovery Time for Breast
Augmentation

The 24-Hour Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation

Buzzwords are thrown around a lot in plastic surgery. Their main purpose is to set a group of plastic surgeons apart from others. the 24-hour rapid recovery breast augmentation has become one of those buzzwords, and its promise is quite clear. Their goal is for every patient to be able to perform normal daily functions within 24-hours of surgery, which may include showering, combing their own hair, going to work, or going out to a movie.

This new recovery “technique,” is for your average career woman or working mom, who may not have time to take off an entire week from her life to recuperate. However, she can probably afford 24-hours. the question is, do these surgeons really know something that others don’t, which can reduce recovery time from the typical seven to ten days, to just one.

The answer, while not very straight-forward, is probably yes, no, maybe, and it depends a lot on you.

The 24-hour Rapid Recovery RoutineThe 24-hour technique begins by giving patients the instructions to perform post-surgery, in order to heal the quickest. the rest will be up to the surgeon who must be familiar with the mapping of the blood vessels in the breast. according to some sources, by mapping these vessels, you can reduce the chance of bruising and bleeding, both before and after the augmentation.

If you have watched certain breast augmentation procedures, you may have noted that the surgeon was occasionally forceful. the rapid recovery technique involves a much more gentle and precise method of creating the pocket to insert the implants within. in addition, by using precision, the surgery time can be cut down from an average time of one to two hours, to just 30 minutes. Less time in the OR equals less overall trauma to the chest area.

The sutures are then covered in a waterproof glue, hence, the ability to take a shower right after surgery, despite the warning that most plastic surgeons give, not to get the area wet. this may all sound great; however, there are some precautions you will need to take.

  • Having a board-certified surgeon will decrease the chance of the doctor taking unnecessary risks for the sake of being quick.
  • Keep in mind that everybody heals at different rates. One person’s 24-hours, may be another’s 96-hours (or more).
  • Doing too strenuous of activity after surgery can increase the chance of complications, regardless of how careful the surgeon is.
  • Some plastic surgeons precaution that getting the incision wet prior to healing could increase the chance of an infection. Avoiding infection will decrease the chance of noticeable scarring.
  • The rapid recovery technique involves certain incisions, which may limit your options for the size and type of implant that you can receive. in other words, it may limit your ability to get exactly what you want.
