What is the Difference? Silicone and Saline Breast Implants

Many patients are overwhelmed when deciding which sort of implants to use for their breast augmentation. Friends, family and even co-workers that have had the procedure will weigh in with what they chose and that, coupled with all the information on the internet, can make it hard to determine what's best. It's important to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with an extensive background in breast augmentations to determine which option is best for your desired outcome. The FDA's extensive research on breast implants has determined that both saline and silicone implants are safe and effective. Patient satisfaction is over 95% following breast implant placement and it is one of the most popular procedures performed in America.

• Both implants are proven safe
• Both can look natural and feel natural; however, both can look "fake" and feel unnatural if not customized to the patient

Saline Pros and Cons:

Saline Pros

• Smaller Incision, as they are filled with saline solution after being placed
• Easier detection of ruptures - It will be obvious if a leak has occurred as the breast will be smaller
• Covered with a lifetime warranty if rupture should occur - the patient will never have to pay the cost of the implants more than once. If the rupture occurs within the first 10 years, the patient might be entitled to reimbursements through the implant manufacturer for surgical fees
• Can be less costly

Saline Cons

• Less natural feel
• More prone to a rippling effect, particularly on thin women with little breast tissue to begin with

Silicone Pros and Cons:

Silicone Pros:

• More of a natural look and feel
• The manufacturer will cover lifetime warranty if a rupture should occur - the patient will never have to pay the cost of implants more than once. If the rupture occurs within the first 10 years, the patient might be entitled to a reimbursement through the implant manufacturer for surgical fees

Silicone Cons:

• Usually cost more than saline implants
• harder to detect if the implant has ruptured (MRI might be required)

Since the Re-certification of new and improved silicone implants in 2006, the majority of patients are choosing silicone gel implants for their desired breast surgery.

What is Botox (Botulinum Toxin)?

Cynthia Before and After Botox

As American adults live longer and fuller lives than ever before, there might be a struggle to make your outer appearance look as young as you feel. If you’re looking to change your body so it mirrors your youthful mind and heart, Botox could be the solution for you. Botox is a botulinum toxin that is one of the most innovative and important substances to ever enter the facial rejuvenation field.

Botox is the most popular non-surgical way to reduce facial wrinkles and smooth frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead furrows and skin bands on the neck. Any facial movement, including smiling, frowning, squinting and chewing, can over time create wrinkles. Wrinkles are one of the most common signs of aging, and one of the quickest and safest ways to remove them is with an injection of Botox.

The word “toxin” can be a little off-putting for some, but Botox types A and B are both derived from a bacteria and then purified. Injections of the substance block muscular nerve signals, which in turn weaken the muscle. This makes the muscle unable to contract, which diminishes those unwanted facial wrinkles.

In addition, Botox can be combined with other cosmetic skin procedures to further beautify your skin. Procedures such as chemical peels, dermal fillers or microdermabrasions can provide the skin therapy needed to help prevent the formation of even more fine lines and wrinkles.

Your Next Step: To learn more about specific procedures that may be right for you, we encourage you to visit the Plastic Surgery & MediSpa office of Dr. Brett E. Stompro & Dr. Chester Cheng for a complimentary consultation. Our number one priority is your safety. We pride ourselves on our artistic, natural results and we have an impeccable safety record.

The Mommy Makeover Combo

Mommy Makeover

During pregnancy, the body undergoes many dramatic changes, some of which are not very flattering. Unfortunately, the changes that naturally occur during pregnancy can sometimes take quite a toll on a woman’s appearance and self-image.

This does not mean you have to sacrifice your looks forever just because you’ve had a baby. With a few simple procedures, you can look better than before.

Of course, a woman’s midsection grows considerably during her pregnancy. Although the abdomen begins to return to some degree of normalcy immediately after giving birth, there are often significant and permanent effects of this weight gain. Even after you’ve lost that baby weight, the skin can appear looser, making you look heavier than you really are.

The Mommy Makeover Procedure

To help fix this problem, there’s a procedure called abdominoplasty - more commonly referred to as the “tummy tuck” - that can help you restore your abdomen. With abdominoplasty, you can look and feel better than you have in years!

In addition, many women also choose to get a breast lift after having a baby. This may involve relocating the nipple to a higher part of the breast. If you’ve ever considered having breast implants, this may be the best time to do it.

The size of a patient’s breast implants is always dependent on - and often limited by - the amount of skin on the patient’s breasts. Because of the excess skin that is typically caused by breast growth during pregnancy, women who have just had a baby may have more options for breast augmentation than usual.

It’s important to note that breast and abdomen are not the only parts of your body that may change during pregnancy. In fact, most women store fat all over their bodies while they are pregnant. Ultrasonic liposuction also referred to as ultrasonic liposculpture, is a procedure that can treat this additional weight gain, and it can be done on parts of the body that cannot be treated with manual liposuction.

If you would like to improve the way your body looks after having a baby, the mommy makeover cosmetic surgery may be the perfect solution for you.

20th Global Anniversary of Restylane®

Galderma Celebrates 20th Global Anniversary of Restylane®
Restylane® Marks Heritage Milestone

FORT WORTH, Texas - June 10, 2016 - Galderma, a global leader focused on medical solutions in skin health, is proud to celebrate the significant milestone of the 20th global anniversary of the Restylane® portfolio of products. One of the world's most studied wrinkle fillers, Restylane has been used in more than 65 countries worldwide with over 28 million treatments administered globally.

"The launch of the Restylane dermal filler in Europe in 1996 and in the United States in 2003 helped to change the aesthetic landscape. It quickly became a household name, and sparked a shift in how many of my patients approached facial aging," said Chicago-based physician Steve Dayan. "This anniversary not only celebrates 20 years of being a great option for men and women who want natural-looking results, but also serves as a proof point for how well-placed my trust is in the long track record of safety and efficacy of Restylane products in my practice."

After more than two decades of research, the complete line of Restylane fillers - including Restylane®, Restylane-L®, Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine and Restylane® Silk - have well-defined safety profiles. With six major product approvals and four different indications, the Restylane family of products continues to deliver effective and proven aesthetic solutions to healthcare professionals and their patients allowing specialists to customize a treatment plan that's right for each individual.

Innovative Syringe Delivers Enhanced Ergonomics and Safety Building on the heritage of the milestones in the last 20 years, Galderma is committed to continuing its leadership role of Restylane innovation in the future.

"All of us at Galderma are inspired by this significant milestone for Restylane," said Kelly Huang, PhD, Vice President and General Manager, Aesthetic & Corrective Business Unit, Galderma, U.S. "The combination of the proven safety history backed by over 28 million treatments globally and a continual pipeline of innovation, such as our enhanced syringe introduction for key Restylane products, is a strong foundation for the Restylane brands to continue to support the goals of healthcare professionals and patients now and in the future."

The Most Popular Plastic Surgery Procedures Inspired by Celebrities

 

Plastic Surgery Procedures Inspired by Celebrities

Whether or not you’re seriously considering cosmetic surgery, chances are you have, at one point or another, admired a celebrity look that you wish you could pull off yourself. With that in mind, there are many procedures out there that mimic the most sought-after celebrity-inspired looks.

Eyes
They’re the windows to the soul, and when it comes to famous ones, patients most often request eyelid lifts and recontouring procedures to give them the doe eyes of Anne Hathaway or Hugh Jackman’s twinkling squint. Hathaway’s look is ultra-feminine and wide-eyed, while Jackman conveys both masculinity and playfulness.

Nose
Moving down the face, the most requested slopes for noses are those of Natalie Portman and Jude Law. These choices also go along with the very feminine and masculine choices for eyes, though Portman’s delicate nose and Law’s more rugged profile do share a similar longer length.

Cheeks
For facial sculpting, many patients like the high cheekbones of January Jones. Another popular request is the slanting, defined look of Leonardo DiCaprio, which can be mimicked with facelift, threadlift, or browlift procedures and enhanced with any of our Medi Spa treatments.

Lips
When it comes to lip service, patients choose the wide pout of Scarlett Johansson over Angelina Jolie’s more pronounced yet still popular look. On the masculine side of the spectrum, the thin upper lip/full bottom lip smirk of Ashton Kutcher is a popular request for patients.

Chin
Proving that beauty inspires at every age, the most asked for chin shape is modeled after Halle Berry. Berry’s rounded yet defined face joins the strong, masculine jaw line of John Hamm on this list. Similar looks can be achieved with neck liposuction or chin augmentation.

Skin
When coming in for a microdermabrasion or Laser Genesis, Amy Adams’ glowing skin is an inspiration for many who want that flawless look. And Neil Patrick Harris is known for his healthy-looking skin.

Body
In terms of overall physique, there is little surprise that the most popular choice is Giselle Bündchen of Victoria’s Secret fame. The model’s long and lean figure is at the top of the most requested, along with Mark Wahlberg’s toned and muscular look.

It is important to note, of course, that it is not reasonable to expect exact replicas of these celebrity bodies. With experienced surgeons like Dr. Chester Cheng and Dr. Brett Stompro, however, you can have a celebrity-inspired look that complements your own natural beauty and gives you the confidence to look great every day. Contact us today for more information, if you have questions, or to schedule an appointment.

Dr. Stompro and His Staff are Awesome! The BEST!

Review on Dr. Stompro

5- Star Perfect Rating

"Dr. Stompro and his staff are awesome! The BEST! From my first appointment to my series of visits thereafter, everyone is friendly, kind, caring while also being the utmost professionals. At first, during the recovery process, I was a bit apprehensive and asked myself at times, what did I do? But Dr. Stompro was right - when we first met, he told me that I would be very happy with my results - and I am! Becoming a mother is tough both physically and mentally. I used to say I would never get work done but now, I'm all for do whatever helps you live a happier life. My husband and kids were very supportive and they are happy that I am now more content with myself.

I want to give a shoutout to some of the staff - Thank you as well to Stacy, Morgan, Lourdes, Jillian, and Chavon (and all the others I didn't name directly)! Your outstanding client service is one in a million!"

Important Tips for Post-Surgery Healing

When you’re preparing for a cosmetic procedure, there are a number of important things on your preparation list. Between arranging for transportation to and from your facility to making sure your home or workspace will be taken care of while you’re away, you’ll certainly have a lot on your mind.

Don’t forget, however, to keep in mind not just your pre-operative needs, but your post-surgery needs as well. The following tips will help you prepare for what comes after your cosmetic procedure experience.

Heal at Your Own Pace

Stay in contact with your surgeon

At the offices of Dr. Brett Stompro and Dr. Chester Cheng, we’re dedicated to being there for you at every step of the plastic surgery process, from beginning to end. This care does not stop when you leave our facility—after your procedure, you will be contacted by phone and a member of our staff will go through any questions you might have right away.

After this initial follow-up call, we encourage you to contact us at any time with your questions or concerns about your recovery. This process of healing is not just physical but also mental, and our staff at the offices of Stompro and Cheng is prepared and available 24 hours a day to provide the attention you need for a successful, speedy, and complete recovery.

Take advantage of post-op care opportunities

During the first week of your recovery period, you’ll be asked to come back to our offices for a checkup. Our doctors will provide a thorough examination to ensure that there have been no complications or setbacks with your procedure. This first appointment is also a great time to review the particular care methods you can do at home relating to your procedure. In addition, this appointment allows you to further build a relationship with your doctor that will continue with the lifetime post-operative appointments offered by our offices.

Heal at your own pace

Advances in medicine have made vast improvements in recovery time for virtually all cosmetic procedures. With the combination of smaller incisions, intraoperative anesthesia techniques, and better procedures, many patients return to their normal activities within a few days.

In addition, a better understanding of the benefits of gentle handling of the tissues during surgery limits swelling and bruising. That being said, it is essential that you take the time needed to fully recover, and remember that healing time will be different for each individual patient. By paying attention to your health and keeping an open line of communication with your surgeon and nurses, your recovery will be speedy and safe.

At the offices of Dr. Stompro and Dr. Cheng, our goal is to keep you informed before, during, and after your surgical experience. In addition to achieving your desired results, we’re dedicated to making your entire experience as comfortable and open as possible. If you’re ready to discuss more information on a cosmetic procedure or have questions at any stage of your process, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Call: 925-736-0401

Liposuction Options and Techniques

What are your Liposuction options?

A lot has changed since the earliest days of the liposuction surgery. The procedure used to require hospitalization and general anesthesia for every patient undergoing the surgery, and even occasionally required blood transfusions to replace all of the blood lost during the procedure

This was under the old “dry technique,” a liposuction technique that has basically been made obsolete by technological advances in liposuction since the 1990’s. Dr. Stompro mentions that most procedures today can be performed with local anesthesia and with much quicker recovery.

Here are some of the more common liposuction techniques that are available in today’s world:

• The “Wet Technique” - Fluid is injected to the area of the procedure to help loosen fat cells and reduce bruising. Once the cells are loose, they are drawn out in a surgical vacuum device.
• The “Super-Wet Technique” - The same basic idea is used for this procedure as the wet technique, but the amount of saline in the fluid used is more diluted. This surgery is preferred by some surgeons for the way it balances fluid levels.
• The Tumescent Technique - A large amount of liquid is injected into the area of the procedure, with the contents of that liquid even more diluted than the wet and super wet techniques. More liquid means more space created in between muscles and fatty tissue, which gives the surgeon more space to operate. However, this procedure takes longer than both the wet technique and the super-wet technique.
• Internal Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction - Ultrasonic vibrations are transmitted inside the body that works to break down fat cells. This liquefies the fat and makes it easier to remove. This option requires less movement by the surgeon, which means it is easier on the patient’s body. However, there is an increased risk of developing seromas, burns, necrosis or scarring
• External Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction - Like the internal option, ultrasonic energy is used to liquefy the fat. But in the external option, the energy is applied from outside the body through the skin rather than from inside the body. Surgeons believe this creates less risk of seromas and necrosis.
• Power-Assisted Liposuction - A specialized cannula, that moves mechanically, is used to reduce the amount and the speed of movements required by the surgeon. This is a more subtle, smooth surgery option, which is easier on the patient’s body. This is a relatively new procedure.

If you are interested in having a liposuction surgery done, Call: 925-736-0401 or use our online contact form to contact the offices of Dr. Brett Stompro, M.D., and Dr. Chester Cheng, M.D., to schedule a consultation to determine which of these options is right for you!

Plastic Surgery for Recent Mothers

Motherhood is an undeniably beautiful experience, but dealing with your body after baby can be a challenge. If diet and exercise aren’t getting you to your body goals, the experienced surgeons at the offices of Dr. Stompro and Dr. Cheng can help! There are a variety of procedures that can get you back to your old self—or even better.

Belly

The most obvious problem area for new mothers is the abdomen. This area is considerably stretched during pregnancy. It can be especially difficult to go from baby bump back to your body before pregnancy. In situations where abdominal elasticity is a problem, a tummy tuck, can be especially effective. A tummy tuck is when loose skin and fat is removed and pulled tight. Tummy tuck surgery also helps eliminate stretch marks. For excess fat deposits around the body, liposuction is a great way to get rid of those last stubborn pounds.

Breast

Post-pregnancy can also be a good time for a breast lift. Changes in shape and size during pregnancy can result in a less than desirable look once the baby has been born. With a breast lift procedure, the nipple is elevated from the new lower position to a more natural, centered position. In addition, a breast reduction could be another option. A breast reduction resects breast tissue and excess skin, reducing the final volume and restoring a firmer look.

Beauty

With intensive labor and late nights taking care of a new baby, new moms deserve more than just a great body. With any of our Medi-Spa procedures, you can experience the pampering you need to make you feel rejuvenated and refreshed. From microdermabrasion to our advanced skincare line, SkinCeuticals can get you healthy, radiant skin no matter how few hours you—or your baby—may be sleeping.

At the offices of Dr. Brett Stompro and Dr. Chester Cheng, we’re dedicated to helping you make educated decisions about what cosmetic procedures are right for you. We’ll walk you through our processes and discuss risks, benefits, and payment options to make you feel comfortable and secure in your plastic surgery choice. If you’d like to set up a consultation for your new body after baby, contact our Plastic Surgery & MediSpa today for a complimentary consultation!

Skin Resurfacing: Laser vs. Fraxel

Laser vs. Fraxel

Skin resurfacing can restore and rejuvenate the skin. With time our skin shows signs of aging from the exposure to the sun and elements.

Until recently there were two treatment methods to rejuvenate the skin; ablative and non-ablative treatments. Ablative lasers treat deep into the dermis of the skin by removing the upper epidermis. It treats both the surface and deep layers of the skin. This means a more effective treatment of lines and wrinkles but with a longer recovery. It couples up nicely with surgery. Non-ablative treatments preserve to epidermis but never get deep into the skins dermis. This means an easy recovery but not as aggressive of a treatment.

Fraxel is a new technology that treats deep into the dermis while preserving the epidermis. It works by laying down a laser pattern which gets deep into the dermis without ablating or taking away the epidermis. This means a deep treatment without the prolonging recovery. Non-ablative lasers are appealing because there is little to no down time. Fraxel now bridges the gap between ablative and non-ablative treatments. It treats deep into the dermis, preserves the epidermis and has little to no down time. It usually takes 4-5 treatments spaced one month apart

At the offices of Dr. Brett Stompro, M.D, and Dr. Chester Cheng, M.D., our goal is to keep you informed before, during, and after your cosmetic experience. In addition to achieving your desired results, we’re dedicated to making your entire experience as comfortable and open as possible. If you have any questions about your cosmetic procedure or want to schedule an appointment with one of our doctors, please don’t hesitate to contact us today!

Eyelid Lift Procedure

They say that with age comes wisdom. What no one likes to note, however, is that wisdom often comes with wrinkles. If you’re noticing the wrinkles that come with years of smiling and squinting, an eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty procedure, might be the procedure for you. The skilled surgeons at the offices of Dr. Brett Stompro, M.D., and Dr. Chester Cheng, M.D., have helped many patients regain a more youthful look with this procedure.

An eyelid lift procedure removes excess skin and tightens bagginess around the eyes. While most of the wrinkles around the eyes are heavily etched into the skin, the tightening provided by an eyelid lift procedure will help produce a more youthful appearance. Laser resurfacing, such as Erbium laser skin resurfacing procedures, can also be used in conjunction with blepharoplasty for enhanced results. Learn more about the eyelid lift, blepharoplasty procedure.

An essential part of preparing for plastic surgery is consulting with your doctor to discuss your desired results. With blepharoplasty procedures, it is especially important to consult your doctor to establish realistic expectations for your post-surgery look. A blepharoplasty, on its own, is designed to improve eye appearance as much as possible in mild cases of drooping and wrinkling. Therefore, if a patient has very droopy brows it may not be possible to make a significant change in the upper eyelid area solely with a blepharoplasty procedure. This can be achieved with an additional forehead lift.
