    In January facelifts, eyelid surgery, and breast augmentations were the majority of procedures performed in our certified office based surgery facility. Our facility continues to be state certified as well as accredited by the AAAASF. All patients have been discharged safely to home following their surgery.

   Breast augmentations continue to be the most commonly performed procedure. Although saline implants remain popular, more patients are requesting silicone implants. Both are FDA approved and equally “safe”. However, each has pros and cons which are discussed at the time of consultation.

If your main concern is loose, hanging skin in the neck and/or jowl area, the facelift (neck, jaw, cheek lift) is the procedure of choice. There is no non-surgical option that will produce the same results.

   If you’re not ready for surgery or you don’t have enough loose skin to justify surgery, you could see improvement with an easy, non-surgical option: The combination of “Nectifirm” cream plus a Gentle Yag neck/jaw tightening package.

Even though abdominoplasty is not a weight reduction procedure, you may lose as much as three to five pounds. Of course, if you are at ideal weight and only have excess skin, the weight loss can be less than one pound.

   For maximum aesthetic improvement, your new baseline goal weight within 6 months after surgery should be your before surgery weight minus the amount of skin/fat removal. If you weigh even less than that goal, you will look even better!

An important before and after surgery discussion is weight management.  Abdominoplasty should not be considered a weight reduction procedure. In fact, if your height/weight calculation is a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or more, you are a higher risk for complications. Be sure and discuss pre-surgery weight management issues with your family physician and plastic surgeon.

At the office of Dr. Stephen Lazarus, Knoxville, Tn., we believe Plastic Surgery is more than just surgery. Depending on your age and expectations, looking good may include any one or more of these options: Surgery, injectables, and skin care. But no matter what your age, skin care is an important element of any treatment plan. Skin care works as a stand alone treatment or as an enhancement to your surgery and/or injectables treatment.

Most women (and know even some men) will spends lots of money on multiple products. Now there is a physician prescribed product that combines growth factors, antioxidants, and other important ingredients into one dispenser for less cost than mutiple product purchases.

   Between 1992 and 2006, silicone breast implants were unavailable to women requesting cosmetic breast enlargement. Many of the women with saline implants placed during that time are still very happy with their results. However, for various reasons, some patients would like to change over to the new generation silicone gel implants. At the office of Dr. Stephen Lazarus, Knoxville, Tennessee, we are happy to discuss with you the pros and cons of re-augmentation with silicone gel implants.

   But remember, if you’re happy with your saline breast implants, there’s no reason to change.

The most common plastic surgery procedures for our male patients are upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and liposuction of the hips (“love handles”) and abdomen.

   The most common non-surgical procedures are Botox, Dysport, and Sculptra.
