Liposuction: Before or After Pregnancy?

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011
Many women that are pregnant or planning to become pregnant often wonder how they will get their pre-baby body back. Pregnancy causes a significant amount of changes in a woman’s body and no matter how prepared we are, there are certain areas that never return to the way they were before the baby came. Weight can refuse to budge off of hips and thighs. Varicose veins may mark  lower legs. Weight and sagging skin are one of the most common concerns of women who have had children or are planning to have children. Some women plan to have several children over multiple years and would like their bodies to look their best in between each pregnancy and may wonder their best options for liposuction.

Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Milind K. Ambe MD, says, “Liposuction id dramatic and intense surgical procedure that can produce remarkably beautiful results, but it is not a permanent procedure and weight can come back after it is removed.” As such, he recommends waiting until woman has decided to complete he child-bearing years before investing in liposuction. In this way, she can be sure that the results will be long-lasting and easier to maintain. Liposuction can be combined with other procedures such as a breast lift or tummy tuck as part of the Mommy Makeover package.  Contact Newport Beach Plastic Surgery today for more information on post-pregnancy liposuction and other procedures to get your pre-baby body back.

Celebrity Beauty as Inspiration for Plastic Surgery

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

When considering options for elective cosmetic surgery, many men and women look to celebrities for inspiration. This has been a common practice for many decades when it comes to haircuts and hairstyles. We used to snip a photo of what we liked out of a magazine and take it to our hairdresser for direction and inspiration. Nowadays, many men and women are taking photos of celebrity body parts to their plastic surgeon and asking their doctor to replicate those results on their own face or body. Some of the most common body parts that are requested include buttocks, lips, nose, breasts, legs, pectoralis muscles, and abs.

Orange County plastic surgeons are capable of making men and women feel like a celebrity through advanced surgical techniques and remarkable healing processes. Some of the most common celebrities that have coveted features include J. Lo, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Carmen Electra, Nicole Kidman, Usher, Matthew McConaughey, and LL Cool J. While your celebrity inspiration can be used as a guideline, it is important to discuss realistic results with your plastic surgeon.

When it comes to plastic surgery, Orange County is home to a number of celebrity inspirations and a number of surgeons that can turn those inspirations into realizations. Orange County plastic surgeon, Milind K. Ambe MD,  would be pleased to meet with you to discuss the goals and expectations of your elective cosmetic procedure. Together, you can develop a pre- and post-operative plan that will help you get the face or body you have always dreamed of based on your favorite celebrity features.

Orange County Breast Augmentation Patients Weigh Saline and Silicone Implants

Thursday, December 8th, 2011
When choosing implants for breast augmentation, Orange County plastic surgeon Milind K. Ambe’s patients have the choice between silicone and saline implants. Dr. Ambe is dedicated to helping patients make the right decisions based on accurate information.

Saline implants are filled with sterile saline solution, and typically the implant is filled after it is inserted into the body during a breast augmentation. This type of implant is available to women ages 18 and older who are having the procedure. In the past, they were criticized for having an unnatural feel; however, modern surgical techniques which place the implant behind the chest muscle are helping them to feel more natural.

Silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel. This feels much more like human fat, giving the new breasts a more natural feel. They are available to women ages 22 and older.

Although both types of implants are capable of rupturing, this is becoming less of a problem as technology improves. To be safe, the FDA recommends women who have Newport Beach breast augmentation surgery with silicone implants monitor their implants every two to three years using a routine MRI to rule out leaks.
