Botox is a similar toxin to that which causes Botulism food poisoning, but is formulated for use in medical and cosmetic procedures. In plastic surgery, it is used on the forehead and brow areas, in order to inhibit muscles movements that can cause wrinkles. In addition to the face, Botox can be used to treat migraine headaches, overactive bladder, loss of bladder control, or excessive sweating. Typically, Botox is injected about every four months to keep wrinkles at bay, though sometimes the injections can be spaced out a bit longer.

Juvederm is what is known as a ‘hyaluronic soft tissue filler’. As the name implies, soft tissue fillers replace lost fat and soft tissue that have been lost from beneath the skin. As we age, we lose fat volume in our faces, which leads to deep lines, wrinkled lips, and flatter cheeks. Juvederm injections help to refill the areas that have lost soft tissue volume. Typically, Juvederm injections last from 9-12 months, and are typically used to treat nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth), though they can be used to fill in many other types of deeper wrinkles.’

Step One – The doctor will have you prepare for surgery up to two weeks in advance. You will be asked to refrain from taking any medication that can hinder blood clotting, such as aspirin, and will be asked to quit smoking temporarily as it delays the healing process. You may also be given a prescription for an antibiotic as a preventative measure to keep the new skin from becoming infected. If the treatment will only be on a small area, you can plan on being finished in about forty-five minutes. If you are having your whole face done, it will take about two hours. If your are undergoing any other type of cosmetic surgery at the same time, make sure to plan accordingly.

Step Two – Using finely-directed laser rays, the doctor will remove dead skin one layer at a time. Once all the layers of imperfect skin are removed, the treated areas will be bandaged. You may be given steroids to reduce any swelling. After 24 hours, you will need to gently clean the treated area several times a day.

Step Three – As healing starts to occur, the area may seem itchy, but this is normal. Just as with a sunburn, the treated area will see old tissue starting to peel. Underneath, the fresh new skin will be smooth and blemish-free and you will look, and feel, younger.

If you are in relatively good health, plastic surgery, including a facelift, is a medical procedure from which recovery is generally straightforward. There is anesthesia involved with this operation and that should definitely be taken into account. Facelifts are great for people who are in general good health and are not looking for major adjustments to their appearance. However, it is also possible to undergo an additional procedure at the same time, such as rhinoplasty when having a facelift. Chin implants are another additional procedure that can be taken care of simultaneously with this procedure. These types of enhancements are increasingly popular with people as they grow older and wish to reclaim a more youthful appearance.

Facelifts, while now a somewhat routine procedure, are still a major medical undertaking. Be sure to have a very thorough consultation with your doctor prior to scheduling anything. Your plastic surgeon can go over the medical implications and safeguards with you and inform you of any possible complications. During this consultation your surgeon will also discuss the desired outcomes of the surgery and what you want to look like post facelift. They will also instruct you on the post-operation expectations and the care you will require.

If you’re thinking of getting facelift, contact the office of Rejuuuuve4You today. We are committed to helping women feel their ultimate best. From hormone replacement therapy to breast augmentations to the Brazilian butt lift procedure, we are dedicated to woman’s health, wellness, and beauty.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess fat deposits that accumulate between the skin and muscle tissues. Using a hollow needle known as a cannula, those excess deposits are suctioned out from between the tissues, reshaping and resculpting the body. It can be performed under general anesthesia, although there has been a recent move towards using local anesthesia due to risks associated with the heavier sedation.

How much does it cost?

The cost of Liposuction depends on how many areas of the body you are having treated. For example, just having liposuction performed on your abdomen will result in a lower fee than having Liposuction performed on your abdomen, hips, and thighs.

Am I a good candidate for Liposuction?

If you are in good health and have realistic expectations of your results, then you will be a good candidate for Liposuction.

Which body parts can be treated with Liposuction?

For women, Liposuction can be used on the breasts, buttocks, hips, abdomen, thighs, neck, and cheeks. Men typically have Liposuction performed on their abdomen, chin, flanks, and chest.

What are Elastic Compression Garments?

Compression garments are specially designed girdles that must be worn after having Liposuction. They work to reduce both bleeding and swelling post-procedure.

Are there any risks associated with Liposuction?

There are risks associated with any medical procedure. Some side effects include infections, bleeding, skin ulcerations, and nerve injuries. Patients must also think smart about their cosmetic surgery, and not schedule Liposuction on the same day as multiple other procedures, or even have too much Liposuction performed.

How long will I take to recover after the procedure?

Generally, you may return to an office-type job within 2 days of having Liposuction done. As long as your doctor’s orders are followed and you wear the compression garments as needed, you should be back to normal within a few weeks.

How Does It Work?

Liposuction is the removal of unwanted fat in specific areas. Popular areas are the upper arms, thighs, abdomen, and chin, but other areas can be targeted. Liposuction surgery consists of the surgeon making small incisions where a metal tube (cannula) is inserted. It is connected to a powerful vacuum, and the fat is sucked out. Most liposuction surgeries a medicated fluid is injected before the procedure to help for the easier removal of fat. The liquid, or wetting, helps to reduce bleeding and minimize any pain.

What to Expect After Liposuction

The area will be wrapped firmly to decrease bruising, swelling, and pain. This elastic wrapping or another form-fitting garment will need to be worn for three to four weeks. Often the swelling and bruising will last the first seven to ten days. If you are at risk for infection, antibiotics will be prescribed. It is an outpatient surgical procedure and most area able to move around as soon as it’s completed. Most improvements are noticed within a few days, but it can take up to six months for the skin to tighten in some areas.

Who are Candidates for Liposuction?

The best candidates are women or men over the age of 25 years old in excellent health, are within 25 pounds of their ideal weight, and have fat deposits that have not responded well to their diet and exercise. The skin’s elasticity, or ability to bounce back, will be assessed to determine if liposuction is the best route to treat any problem areas you have. A plastic surgeon will determine your candidacy when you have a consultation.

BodyTite™ is the newer and safer alternative to liposuction. Using patented RFAL™ (Radio Frequency Assisted Liposculpting) technology, this new procedure can gently melt and remove excess fat in a safer way. The fat is removed through a cannula inserted that is inserted into a small incision that located in an inconspicuous area of the body.

BodyTite will provide great improvements that’ll re-contour your body and eliminate those unwanted fat.

As we age, many of us get fatigued easier, we gain weight, our bodies respond slower to healing, our hair and nails start to thin, and we become more susceptible to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol. We even begin to think less clearly than we did a decade ago.

Hormone Replacement Therapy, or HRT, can help many, or all, of these symptoms or effects of the aging process. HRT allows our patients to look and feel better and it slows, or in some cases reverses, the aging process with natural “Feel Good” therapy.

While that may sound complicated, the essence of the program is pretty simple. As we age, the body slows the production of hormones that allow for growth and healing. That lack of these hormones slows both. The older you get, the more they slow down. These hormones are directly linked to energy, stamina, strength, and endurance. They are also associated with the body’s ability to fight diseases like cancer, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, and a list of others.

Our therapy establishes how much of each of the key hormones your body produces and whether or not your body is producing enough of each hormone to allow you to live life to its fullest. If your body is deficient in any of these key hormones, we prescribe naturally derived replacement hormones to bring those levels up to optimum levels. There are virtually no side effects, especially when compared to other types of synthetic hormones.

Many people ask me when this “slowdown” starts.  Certainly most people who would be considered middle-aged would benefit from HRT therapy since our hormone levels are usually at their peak levels in our 20’s. A simple blood test can show us where your current hormone levels are.

As a physician for more than thirty years, I’ve been subject to hundreds of products suggesting anti-aging success. I’m so passionate about this process that I’ve used this same therapy myself for over a decade. As I alluded to earlier, the slowdown of the body’s production of essential chemicals can start relatively early in life. My son, who is in his 20’s, has started this as well and has seen a transformation in his lean muscle growth, as well as, an increased quality of life. This “fountain of youth” is FDA approved and has virtually no side effects – again this is unlike almost every other form of “anti-aging therapy” that I’ve found.

Getting started is simple, simply call and schedule one of our complimentary consultations.

Then we can discuss all of this in greater detail and see how we can custom tailor a program for your exact needs.  Call today (248) 338-1110 to get started on your anti-aging Hormone Replacement Therapy program.

Get the facts — and understand proven ways to promote healthy aging.

Nowadays there are some people who believe they’ve found youths fountain – A hormone that helps you lose weight, reduce wrinkles, lower blood pressure, adds muscle mass, increases energy and actually reverses the aging process. It sounds like a fantasy, but it’s actually something our bodies create naturally– Human Growth Hormone.

Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland — a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain — to fuel childhood growth and help maintain tissues and organs throughout life. Beginning in the middle age, however, the pituitary gland slowly reduces the amount of growth hormone it produces. This natural slowdown has prompted an interest in the use of synthetic human growth hormone (HGH) to stave off the realities of old age.

Who needs to take human growth hormone?

Synthetic human growth hormone, which must be injected, is available by prescription. It’s approved to treat adults who have true growth hormone deficiency.

For adults who have a growth hormone deficiency, injections of human growth hormone can:

• Increase bone density
• Increase muscle mass
• Decrease body fat
• Increase exercise capacity
• Increase libido

What can human growth hormone do for otherwise healthy adults?

Studies of healthy adults taking human growth hormone are limited. Although it appears that human growth hormone injections can increase muscle mass and reduce the amount of body fat in healthy older adults, the increase in muscle doesn’t translate into increased strength.

HGH is an incredible substance and has tons of proven benefits. An article in the New England Journal which showed results of a study on HGH proved it could improve brain function and memory as well as increase your mental focus. HGH can also help you sleep soundly, improve your sexual performance and drive and even boost your energy and endurance. In addition, you will experience an increase in muscle tone, a loss of body fat and a reduction of wrinkles. These results are incredible and show that HGH actually does work.
