There seems to be a lot of attention recently about pain-free cosmetic procedures and especially breast augmentation.

This is potentially exciting to aesthetic patients who often fear discomfort associated with various cosmetic procedures. Often this is the only reason they do not proceed with their desires. However, there has been no study showing that any method of breast augmentation or use of special medicines has led to consistent “painless breast augmentations”.

Body Lift Procedures for Excess Skin Removal

Loose skin is a common outcome of extreme weight loss, such as after pregnancy, losing a substantial amount of weight from weight loss surgery, medical weight loss or natural dieting. Very few people can successfully get rid of loose skin with diet and exercise; the excess skin does not ‘burn off’ the body in the same way as body fat does, so surgery may be necessary to reshape and contour the body. Body lift procedures provide a solution for managing loose skin; these procedures involve repositioning the skin and removing excess skin folds to completely reshape the area. Plastic surgeons offer a number of different types of body lift procedures for patients who want to sculpt their body and achieve an attractive silhouette.
