The dangers of smoking before and after cosmetic surgery are well-known to the general public, but many individuals wonder whether the use of electronic cigarettes or “vaping” can similarly compromise post-surgery health outcomes. As a method of consuming nicotine, tobacco, and other substances that’s marketed as a “healthier” alternative to smoking, there are prevailing misconceptions about how damaging electronic cigarettes — commonly referred to as “vapes” or “e-cigs” — can actually be to one’s health and well-being.  According to extensive studies conducted by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA), vaping can significantly increase the risk of complications after surgery in ways comparable to smoking regular cigarettes. No matter the method of consumption, nicotine can greatly disrupt the body’s healing processes by negatively affecting:  Wound... Continue Reading

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), improved posture is among the surprising medical benefits commonly experienced after tummy tuck surgery. Part of the body contouring procedure involves repairing weakened or stretched abdominal muscles, which can thereby strengthen the underlying musculature. This often creates a more supportive abdominal wall and a stronger overall core. As a result, some patients achieve greater support for their spine as well as better posture from their cosmetic surgery. In many cases, correcting a protruding abdomen and tightening abdominal muscles during a tummy tuck can improve your posture. However, the adjunctive benefits for one’s spinal alignment that are possible after the procedure depend on each patient’s goals and unique circumstances. Postural improvements are typically most noticeable when the... Continue Reading

Frown lines can be one of the most noticeable—not to mention bothersome—signs of facial aging that develop over the years. These vertical creases between the brows often appear with the formation of facial expressions, but over time they can become visible even when the face is at rest. By giving the appearance of a furrowed brow, frown lines can unintentionally make you seem angry, stressed, or tired even when you are at your happiest or most energetic state. The good news is that a simple half-hour treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® is often all it takes to relax the overactive muscles that cause frown lines to develop and restore a brighter, more easygoing appearance.    These highly popular injectables can reduce frown lines, brow...

Facelift surgery is often praised for the procedure’s ability to erase years of facial aging, but—as former and current facelift patients are aware—the results unfortunately cannot put a stop to the aging process. With continuous influence from gravity, age, and sun exposure, the skin will naturally start to loosen again depending on factors such as your genetics and lifestyle habits. In general, the best way to preserve the outcome achieved with a facelift is to protect your skin from harmful forces that may damage the collagen and elastin fibers. This can be achieved by: Using sun protection: Sun damage is a leading cause of rough, loose skin as well as age spots and hyperpigmentation. To keep your skin looking firm and healthy, always apply sunscreen... Continue Reading

Since its introduction in 2010, the popularity of controlled-cooling technology to remove excess fat has only grown. While researchers were initially unsure how the results of “fat freezing” would compare to surgical methods of fat removal, such as liposuction, Cryolipolysis™ is now considered a safe, predictable, and effective way to contour areas of excess fat accumulation.  Cryolipolysis™ is the process by which fat cells freeze and are naturally metabolized by the body. In studying the effects of frostbite, researchers found that fat cells die before skin cells are damaged when exposed to extremely cold temperatures. This understanding led plastic surgeons to explore whether Cryolipolysis™ could effectively remove fatty deposits without causing any damage to surrounding tissues. Through further study, it was concluded that Cryolipolysis™ was... Continue Reading

While the vast majority of breast augmentation patients are happy with their enhancement and maintain beautiful results well into the future, some women seek out a secondary procedure to resolve complications that have arisen with their implants. Patients treated by another plastic surgeon may also pursue breast revision at The Aesthetic Surgery Centre because they didn’t achieve their original cosmetic goals. In any case, there are a few pieces of information to know before your breast revision that can give you an idea of what to expect from your upcoming procedure.  A Breast Lift May Be Necessary If you wish to remove your breast implants without replacing them, your natural breasts may not look the same as before your breast augmentation. Years of implant placement... Continue Reading

A facelift is known for improving facial contours via the smoothing and removal of excess skin, but Orlando patients often wonder whether the procedure has the ability to similarly enhance the neck and jawline. While facelift surgery at our Orlando practice can reduce neck laxity to some degree, effectively getting rid of a double chin may require a combination of additional neck contouring approaches. Luckily, these techniques can easily be added to your facelift treatment plan so that total facial rejuvenation can be completed in just one procedure.    If you have the appearance of a double chin due to excess fat in the submental region (under the chin), liposuction should be enough to reduce fullness and achieve more definition around the jawline. A mild... Continue Reading
