Q.
Is plastic surgery expensive?
A.
Price will vary from procedure to procedure.
However, more and more people are seeing
plastic surgeons every year. With available
financing, surgery can be very affordable;
even for those on a fixed budget.
Q.
I have heard that there are dangers involved
in using silicone breast implants. Is this
true?
A.
In 1992, the FDA banned the use of silicone
implants. They have been replaced with saline
implants. Saline implants are filled with
a natural salt-water solution.
Q.
Will liposuction reduce cellulite?
A.
No. Cellulite is a natural occurrence caused
by skin connecting to underlying tissue.
Q.
Is body contour surgery a replacement for
exercise?
A.
No. This surgery is designed to remove localized
areas of fat; areas where exercise and diet
have no effect.
Q.
Does a tummy tuck remove excess skin, or
just excess fat?
A.
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat.
The procedure can significantly reduce the
size of a protruding abdomen.
Q.
I recently lost a substantial amount of
weight. Is now the right time for surgery?
A.
No. Your weight should be stable over a
period of time; long enough to insure you
won't immediately regain the weight.
Q.
Will breast augmentation leave a scar?
A.
Breast implants can usually be inserted
using only a small incision. Every effort
will be made to make the scar less visible.
Q.
How long do the results of a breast lift
last?
A.
Although your breasts will appear more youthful
than without surgery, the effects of pregnancy,
weight change, and gravity will continue
to affect your breasts.
Q.
How many treatments will it take to make
my spider veins less visible?
A.
After every treatment, spider veins will
appear lighter. However, two or more sessions
are usually required to obtain the maximum
results.
