Tummy Tuck vs Liposuction and Laser Bra Breast Lift-Tampa

Tummy Tuck sounds peppy and has a zing to it whereas Liposuction sounds a bit authoritative and endearing. What’s in a name ? Sometimes words lead us to make a choice by the way they sound. Is there a need to know more about any of them?

I decided to sound out some specialists.

“Actually the decision as to what suits one best should be left to the surgeon”.

But I was persistent. I needed the sage counsel. It was a question of choice. I mean is there a way I can tell one from the other? The valuable nuggets I could gather are that in the chronological order Tummy Tuck is the senior and Liposuction followed later.

“ As a surgery Tummy Tuck is more extensive requiring broad strokes of incision whereas Liposuction requires only localized jabs and anesthesia too” said a Tummy Tuck Tampa specialist.

“The fundamental difference is Tummy Tuck involves removal of both excessive skin and fat whereas Liposuction is resorted to when the skin is still elastic and only removal of fat is necessitated”..

“Sometimes both the procedures can be combined. But for those whose fat does not respond to weight loss techniques and the deposit is localized Liposuction is preferable .For those with successful weight loss or with fluctuations of weight which results in the drooping of skin or for women who have had a couple of pregnancies Tummy Tuck is preferred” said a Tampa Tummy Tuck specialist.

Interestingly in Tummy Tuck the belly button moves down a bit. It all boils down to the anatomical disposition, the spread of fat and the elasticity of the skin.

Laser Bra Breast Lift

“Unlike the traditional breast lift where the tissue of the breast is removed, in Laser Bra breast lift, of the three layers of tissue that are present in the breast, a CO2 laser is used to remove the epidermis or the outer layer of the breast. This layer is then used to give support to the breasts by placing it against the wall of the chest”, told me the Breast Implants Tampa specialist.

“The placement of the live tissue will help the healing process by regulating blood circulation. The sensitivity of the nipples is thus retained and the ability to breast feed is not taken away”, said the Tampa breast Implants specialist.

This procedure is being followed only at few places in the U.S and is not yet wide spread.

Breast Augmentation Does Not Interfere With Mammogram Tests

This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and with regards to getting a breast augmentation Tampa cancer specialists agree that this having this procedure does not increase the risk of a woman getting breast cancer nor does it prevent her from getting accurate mammogram test results in any significant manner.

If you have breast implants Tampa surgeons recommend paying particular attention to your breasts and promptly reporting any changes to your physician.

Becoming familiar to how breasts look and feel after implants may take women a little while to get used to, but that doesn't mean they can't notice the signs of breast cancer. A woman is most likely to find a lump in the breast herself; with implants, becoming familiar with your breasts is more difficult at first because the breast will have a different texture. It also will have new folds or dimples. But after a woman knows her new breasts, having implants should not get in the way of her noticing a change that might be need a doctor’s exam. Women with implants might even be more likely to notice changes to their breasts.

According to an experienced plastic surgeon Tampa patients who have had breast implants may notice breast changes easier with implants because the implants push the natural breast tissue to the outside of the breast, making a lump easier to spot. Also, most women with implants tend to be more aware of their breasts and changes to their body. For any woman, checking your breasts regularly can lead to early detection which is very important in treating breast cancer.

Doctors recommend getting a mammogram before going in for breast implants, as well as getting another one six months after to serve as a baseline for future tests. There can be changes in the breast after any surgery. It may seem like a lot of time, trouble and money, but it is well worth it. During a mammogram, images are collected by flattening the breast between two mammogram plates. Implants can get in the way of this flattening, which makes it difficult to see the breast as clearly. This doesn't mean that women with implants can't be screened for breast cancer. It just means that women with implants need additional pictures taken during the mammogram. For more information about breast implants as well as other cosmetic surgery such as a tummy tuck Tampa patients are encouraged to contact their local plastic surgeons to learn more.

Discussing Motivations Behind Plastic Surgery

The desire to improve oneself is a natural and inherently human impulse; generally people who seek cosmetic surgery are simply dissatisfied about an aspect of their appearance. While there may be the perception that plastic surgery appeals to the vanity of people and that only a celebrity would seek out a procedure like breast augmentation Tampa cosmetic surgery experts correct this inaccurate perspective showing, through clinical facts and actual patient testimonials, that using plastic surgery has no fundamental difference between getting braces to straighten your teeth.

For easing back the natural effects of age that can be addressed by a facelift, or restoring your figure after childbirth through a tummy tuck Tampa plastic surgeons agree that there is a wide range of motivations behind wanting cosmetic surgery.

Granted, plastic surgery compared with teeth straightening is a much more complex and involved process, however, the motivation associated with each procedure is very similar. According to a survey conducted by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons to the study people’s motivations for plastic surgery and what demographics they comprised, researchers found that a broad range of age groups from various socioeconomic backgrounds had an interest in undergoing cosmetic surgery. According to an expert plastic surgeon Tampa patients who were younger candidates sought plastic surgery of the nose or breasts, whereas older surgery candidates were interested in facelift and eyelid type of surgical procedures.

The commonality the patients all shared was that they were unhappy with a physical feature and they sought out plastic surgery because they felt it would provide emotional, social, and professional benefits. To learn more about the motivations of seeking plastic surgery and the procedures themselves, Tampa plastic surgeons encourage potential patients to research all their available options and not hesitate at all to contact them for more information.
