Getting Your Stomach in Top Shape for the Summer
June 8th, 2010Bikinis, tank tops, low-cut jeans and shorts are coming out of storage during warm weather, which means belly buttons across the world are coming into view. Many summer fashions feature the navel… Great if it’s cute, not great if it’s ugly!
Perhaps you are fortunate to have a navel that is small, vertically-oriented, slightly tapered around the edges and centered within a concave “six-pack” of muscle — these are the descriptors of the aesthetically ideal umbilicus that has been studied by current plastic surgeons. If so, then flaunt with pride! If not, then you might want to consider making a change.
“Volume” is the latest buzzword in plastic surgery!
June 4th, 2010Filling, roundness, softness, plumping are all desired goals within the latest volumetric philosophy that has permeated plastic surgical literature and discussions.
In the past decade, a new generation of plastic surgeons has turned upside down the traditional thinking about aging, beauty and the aesthetic ideal. It used to be assumed that aging effects were due to gravity and stretching, and that tissues sagged and fell over time. While this may be true to a certain extent, there is another fundamental process at work: loss of volume.

Capsular Contracture: Columbus, Ohio Surgeon Explains Treatment and Prevention
April 20th, 2010Most breast augmentations are straightforward procedures with beautiful results, but on occasion, a bothersome process known as capsular contracture develops. This occurs when the body tries to wall off an implant as a foreign object (like a splinter) with an abnormal amount of scar tissue. The scarring can be firm, and even painful when severe.
Experts are not convinced about what causes capsular contractures: some think it is bacteria or “biofilm,” while others believe it is trauma from surgery. Regardless, the reported incidence is anywhere from two to thirty percent depending upon the surgeon.
What is the Columbus, Ohio Mommy Makeover?
March 24th, 2010Tummy tuck, liposuction and breast lift (with or without breast augmentation) are all considered part of a mommy makeover.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding lead to very predictable physical changes for many women: abdominal bulging, belly button distortion, stretch marks, love handles and deflated breasts. The mommy makeover treats each of these problem areas. The tummy tuck flattens the abdominal bulge and allows the “six-pack” to emerge. It also refines the belly button into a more attractive shape and position, and it eliminates all stretch marks that occur between the belly button and the pubic area. Liposuction removes the love handles and provides a more feminine, curvy “hourglass” shape above the hips. The breast lift elevates sagging nipples and skin, and is often combined with breast augmentation using implants to create more fullness and cleavage.
