Denver Breast Lift

jen — Tue, 21 May 2013 06:00:34 +0000

With age, gravity begins to take itís toll on the body, the breasts in particular, the work of genetics and major life experiences like childbirth and nursing will cause them to lose some of their vitality and perk. Many women who are dissatisfied with the direction their breasts have started heading in, may choose to have a Breast Lift procedure to restore lift, firmness, and youth to their breasts.

Denver breast lift surgery is a procedure in which an incision is made, generally around the areola, and excess skin is removed. The areola may also be repositioned or even re-sized to better match the new breasts. The remaining skin is then sutured closed around the areola and the ensuing results are higher, more youthful breasts.

A breast lift may also be done in conjunction with a breast augmentation procedure if both size increase and lift is desired. A breast lift might also be done with other body lift procedures such as tummy tuck, arm lift or buttock and thigh lift. Contact Dr. Squires to learn more about your breast procedure options.

One person may have issues with their abdomen region, others with the buttocks or hips and still others with the arms. Liposuction is a popular plastic surgery procedure to improve the body’s contours through sucking out the excess, stubborn fat in that specific area. It’s important to understand that Liposuction is not intending to be a weight loss solution, but rather works best for people who have a specific area of their body that they need help with. Liposuction can be performed on virtually any area of the body.

Dr. Squires provide patients with various techniques of Liposuction. Two of the most popular techniques are the power assisted liposuction technique and the tumescent technique which infuses saline solution with local anesthetic before the liposuction to reduce postoperative pain, bruising and swelling. The best way to determine the best method for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Squires.

Physical ailments such as chronic neck, back and shoulder pain often plague patients who opt for Breast Reduction surgery. Simple activities that people may take for granted such as exercise and sleeping can often be made more difficult, uncomfortable and even painful for those with larger breasts. In addition to the physical pain caused by larger breasts, many women feel self-conscious about them in social situations and it can reduce fashion options drastically.

Denver Breast Reduction Surgery is a procedure in which excess skin, glandular and fatty tissue is removed. The areola, which generally can remain intact with is original nerves and blood supply, is repositioned higher on the new, smaller, lighter breasts and the remaining skin is closed around it. The areola itself can also be re-sized or re-shaped for optimum, natural results. The results of a breast reduction procedure are smaller, lighter, and even more firm breasts. The satisfaction rate for women who undergo Breast Reduction surgery is extremely high. Along with achieving a more normal, pain-free life, many women report an increase in confidence in their new bodies.

Gummy Bear Implants are not for Everyone

noel — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 15:26:51 +0000

What is called the gummy bear breast implant has recently received a great deal of media attention. Allergan’s version, the Natrelle 410 shaped implant was approved by the FDA on February 22, 2013. The implant is available for reconstruction patients of any age and cosmetic enhancement patients 22 years and older. Sientra’s version has been on the market for some time and Mentor’s CPG version is expected to receive FDA approval soon.

These implant are what is called “form stable gel” meaning that they retain their teardrop shape in any position. This is an advantage in breast reconstruction in that they make it easier to produce a rounded lower half of the breast in cases where skin is missing from mastectomy. Since these implants have a teardrop shape, they must be oriented correctly in the pocket and are subject to turning sideways, producing an abnormal breast shape. They are much firmer than the traditional cohesive gel implants.

According to Dr. John Squires, Denver board certified plastic surgeon, “these implants are an advance for breast reconstruction but are not the best choice for breast augmentation.” Dr. Squires has over 20 years of breast augmentation experience and has used many generations of breast implants. His current choice for breast augmentation is the “cohesive gel” implant. The cohesive gel implant has been proven to safe and effective in FDA studies. The gel sticks together and will not migrate even if the implant is cut in half. They are much softer and more natural feeling than the so-called gummy bear implants.

Dr. Squires has been using the new generation cohesive gel implants in his breast augmentation patients since their release in November of 2006. He and his cosmetic breast augmentation patients have been extremely satisfied with the results they produce. “One of the most frequently asked questions I get is about the gummy bear implant. At consultation, I have the patient feel the softness of the cohesive gel implant and then have them compare it to the firmness of the gummy bear implant. There is no contest. My patients prefer the softness of the cohesive gel implant hands down over the gummy bear implant. The superiority of the gummy bear implant is currently one of the greatest myths in plastic surgery.”

Dr. Squires is one of Denver’s premier breast augmentation specialists. He practices in Denver, Colorado’s tony Cherry Creek neighborhood and has been recognized as Denver’s “Top Doctor in plastic surgery” and “Best Plastic Surgeon in Denver” on numerous occasions.

As its name suggests, the laser peel procedure can also erase the presence of fine lines surrounding the mouth and the eyes, as well as treat facial scars with uneven pigmentation. The overall result is a much rejuvenated and younger, fressher-looking face.

Laser skin resurfacing, which is normally performed in less than two hours, and may be performed with several various types of laser.
