Do You Know The Top 5 Cosmetic Surgeries Performed?

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS)
the top 5 cosmetic surgeries are:


(Augmentation Mammaplasty)
(Rhinoplasty)

Eyelid Surgery
(Blepharoplasty)

(Abdominoplasty)

At The Avalon Clinic, we have also found that a Breast Lift
(Mastopexy) is also a very popular cosmetic surgery procedure that is often performed.

Our goal is to guide you in making an informed decision about cosmetic surgery.


In the past, cosmetic surgery was only for the rich and famous, it was performed in expensive hospitals, in large cities and was considered vain and was not talked about. Cosmetic sugery is now a mainstream phenomenon that is sought after by women of all ages, and backgrounds.

Mothers and daughters are both experiencing the excitement of having a body they love
and are no longer embarrassed or ashamed of how they look.


Isn't it time to do something about how YOU feel?

My Body Is Not Responding to Exercise!


We would like to share a story with you

between one of our patients and her friend, "Kelly" (not her real name)...

Kelly is 32 years old. She is 5'7" tall, has short brown hair and weighs about 145 pounds. She is a stay at home mom of three beautiful children, ages 1,5 and 7 years old. She has been married to her husband for 9 years and enjoys raising her family.

I first met Kelly at the gym. We were in the same cycling class together. We immediately bonded and became good friends. During a recent chat, Kelly shared her concerns about her body.

"I have breastfed all my kids... my breasts are saggy, droopy and deflated. I feel as though they have sucked the life right out of them. It is so difficult to find a bra that fits! And then there is my stomach! I have stretch marks all over my belly. There is loose, stretched skin that I can grab... it just does not go away. I do hundreds of sit-ups, the skin never goes away. I really hate it!

I am working so hard on getting my body back... yet I feel embarrassed and unattractive!

What else can I do?"

I did not know my friend felt uncomfortable with her body. She is a beautiful woman, well put together and usually ready for anything. I knew this was very important to her.

I told Kelly about the Avalon Clinic...

Why Are Your Breasts Uneven?

Often women experience some type of deformity in their breasts. This condition is commonly referred to as: asymmetrical breasts, lopsided or uneven breasts. The differences may vary for each woman.
The breasts could be different in:

Size

Shape

Uneven nipple height or positioning

The inframammary crease (breast fold) may be positioned differently from one side to another, causing one to look larger than the other.

Why Are Your Breasts Uneven?

Some women are born with more breast tissue on one side, causing one breast to be larger than the other. Breast Asymmetry can be due to genetics or random events that take place with breast development during puberty.

Breast changes also occur during pregnancy, breast feeding, and menopause, which may affect the breast appearance. Changes in a women’s breast after pregnancy or breastfeeding are extremely common and are classified as a symptom of “Post-Baby Body Syndrome”.

In breast irregularity, each woman's situation is unique. The distortion of the breasts is generally less than a bra cup size, though some women experience severe cases of asymmetrical breast deformities. In either case a woman may not only experience the physical disproportion but also an emotional disparity.

In such situations, cosmetic surgeons can perform surgery to correct the majority of asymmetrical breast problems.

Many women find after having cosmetic breast surgery to correct such irregularities, they feel a sense of physical harmony, self confidence, and are far more comfortable with their bodies.

How Is Breast Asymmetry Corrected with Cosmetic Breast Surgery?

The surgeon will diagnose the cause of the abnormality and make recommendations based on the cause. The goal of Cosmetic Breast Surgery is to match breasts as closely as possible in both size and shape. Depending on the size of your breast and your desired result, the surgeon may recommend an Augmentation or Breast Reduction in one or both breasts.

If the breasts are sagging (Ptosis) a Breast lift may also be recommended.

Depending on your situation any combination of procedures may be recommended.

To know best what procedure(s) would benefit your situation, seek the consultation of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon at the Avalon Clinic for Cosmetic Surgery Today!

Frequently Asked Questions About Liposuction!

Liposuction is one of the most popular
cosmetic surgeries performed each year!


Who is a good candidate for liposuction?
A good candidate for liposuction is a healthy individual who has realistic expectations, is within 15-20 pounds their ideal weight, in good general health and have a support system.

How much weight will I lose from having liposuction?
Liposuction helps contour and sculpt the shape of your body and is not a weight loss tool. Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise.


How long does the procedure take?
The procedure time varies between each individual’s unique situation, the doctor performing the operation and the amount of fat being removed. It will take an exam by one of our board-certified cosmetic surgeons for you to find out how long your procedure will take.


Will I be awake for the procedure?
No, you will not be awake. At the Avalon Clinic our patients are put under a general anesthesia, which means you will be "asleep" for your cosmetic surgery.


How long before I see results?
Some patients may notice a slight change right after surgery, and even more so after the swelling has gone down. The average time before patients at the Avalon Clinic see their results is around 12 weeks. However, complete results may not be seen up to a year.


Will I have bruising from the procedure?

There may be some bruising around the incision where the doctor has inserted the canula, or the device used to suction out excess fat. The scar is small and hides well in the body’s natural crease lines.

What is the recovery time for undergoing liposuction?
Most people take 3-5 days off of work for recovery before returning to work. It is advised that patients should wait another 4-6 weeks resuming vigorous exercise or activities. Each person heals differently, so individual healing times will vary. It is important to follow all of your post-operative instructions to achieve your goals.


Don't let another day pass you by
without doing something about how you feel!

Recovering From Plastic Surgery-What You Need To Know!

Planning for and allowing adequate recovery time after your
cosmetic surgery is very important.



Cosmetic surgery may be elective, but it is still surgery and all of the basic recovery methods still apply. There are many things that you can do to speed your recovery and make it more comfortable.


You must follow all of your doctor’s instructions, and here are some things your doctor may suggest.

*First and foremost follow your plastic surgeon's instructions!

*Take your antibiotics and your pain killers on schedule, and do not attempt any activity before its time.

*Do not smoke during your cosmetic surgery recovery period. Smoking will slow healing and increase the risk of complications.

*Most plastic surgeries will require that you sleep on your back in a fairly upright position, which can be very uncomfortable and make it difficult to get good rest, but it is unavoidable. Failing to do so can cause complications.

*Have an abundance of pillows on hand of all different shapes and sizes so that that you can make micro-adjustments for comfort. This will help you make the upright position more bearable.

*Increase your fiber intake or use a mild laxative. Anesthesia drugs and pain killers can cause constipation.

*Drink plenty of water and juice. For the first few days of the recovery process, eat soft foods like soup and protein shakes.

*Use flexible straws so you can drink without straining.

*Keep eye drops and lip moisturizer handy.

*Make plenty of ice packs and use them.

*Only use creams and moisturizers that have been approved by your doctor.

*Keep hygiene safe and easy. For the first few days moist towelettes and mouthwash will be the easiest. For your first shower, use a hand held shower head and a chair if possible.


Support and help from loved ones can make

recovery safer and much more pleasant.


Preparing in advance will help, too. Your doctor will advise you on when to resume activities, what medications to take, and how to care for your incisions.

Follow this advice closely, and make sure your family is fully informed of your doctor’s instructions.

Do You Know What Breast Implant Is Right For You?

With all of the different types of breast implants on the market today how do you know which one is right for you? I know it’s easy to do some research and decide what you think is the best choice for your body, based on what you have read.


For some women, they just take a look at their friend’s breasts and think
“Wow, those look great! I want exactly what she has!”

Unfortunately, what is right for someone else may not be right for you.

The only way to know what is truly the best choice for you is to get the recommendation of a Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon.

The types of implants that are available on the market today come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Regardless of which type of implant chosen, they all have the same goal… to enhance your breast size!
There are 3 main types of implants that are used here at the Avalon Clinic and nation wide. Our implants are from the Mentor Corporation - a leading manufacturer of implants in the United States (http://www.mentorcorp.com/).


And, most often, smooth round implants are selected by patients at The Avalon Clinic because of their natural look in helping patients realize their dreams.


The 3 main types of the smooth, round implants are:


The Smooth, Round Moderate Profile.
This implant has been the most popular implant for over 20 years! It gives a full rounded look and adds greater dimension to the breast.


The Smooth, Round Moderate Plus Profile.
This implant has the full, rounded look of the Moderate Profile implant but comes with a slightly higher profile.


The Smooth, Round High Profile.
This implant offers a patient with more projection than the other smooth, round implants and is also a better fit for women with a narrower chest.



The most commonly used material to fill an implant is saline, which is a sterile salt water solution that is normally found in the body and poses no risks to your health. The Avalon Clinic uses these safe, saline-filled implants when doing breast augmentation because of their high reliability and safety rating. Another consideration for patients is where the incision will be for inserting the implants.

There are several ways to insert implants, but most often the incision is placed underneath the breast, in the natural crease of the breast. By placing the ½-inch long incision there, the scar is minimal and the implant can be easily placed behind the muscle to achieve a more natural look. The placement of the implant underneath the muscle will give the patient a more pleasing result as well as a reduced visibility of any wrinkles or rippling of the implant.


During a consultation your surgeon will take accurate measurements of your breasts and listen to what you want. From that data you will get a recommendation that will help you best attain the results that you are looking for!

So remember, what is right for one person, may not be right for you.

10 Important Questions To Ask Yourself...Before Surgery!

Before deciding on plastic surgery, read this
By WebMD
June 3, 2008
Article tools


Most people seek cosmetic surgery to feel better about themselves.

Does it work?

Studies suggest that patients are generally pleased with the outcome and report improvement in self-esteem, social confidence and quality of life.

However, cosmetic surgery may not be appropriate for every person or every problem. If you are considering cosmetic surgery, take some time to contemplate these questions:

Why am I considering cosmetic surgery?

The healthiest reason to have cosmetic surgery is to improve your self-image. Its purpose is to enhance your feeling of well-being and to foster emotional health.

Am I having cosmetic surgery to please others or myself?

Cosmetic surgery cannot stop your boyfriend from leaving you. It cannot bring you new friends. It cannot get you a better job. You'll likely be disappointed if you are having cosmetic surgery to please someone else.

Are my expectations realistic?

Cosmetic surgery can dramatically improve your appearance, but it has its limitations. It is unwise to expect that cosmetic surgery can create the face of a celebrity or restore lost youth.

Am I emotionally prepared for cosmetic surgery?

There are certain circumstances under which cosmetic surgery may be inappropriate. These include a crisis or an emotional upheaval such as divorce, death of a spouse or loss of a job. Also, surgeons are reluctant to consider cosmetic surgery on patients who are depressed or have significant mental illness.

Is now the best time for cosmetic surgery?

Plan your surgery when you are relaxed and can afford the time to convalesce and heal afterward.

Am I prepared to handle unexpected results?

Unexpected results occur rarely, but when they do occur, they create emotional distress for both the patient and the surgeon. You must be prepared for the worst-case scenario and realize that it will require time, patience and a mutual trust between you and your surgeon to work toward improvement.

Do I have a support network?

It's important to have someone to support you physically and emotionally during your recovery. Beware of negative comments from friends or family members who may have issues with your decision to change your appearance.

Have I considered and accepted the risks?

There is risk involved with any surgery. In addition to the general risks related to anesthesia, blood loss and infection, specific risks for cosmetic surgery include skin loss, asymmetry, slow healing, numbness and minor dimples and puckers

Can I afford cosmetic surgery?

Cosmetic surgery is usually not covered by health insurance. If you can't afford the cost, the added financial stress could actually make you feel worse about yourself.

From WebMD medical reference: "Cosmetic Surgery Self-Assessment." For more information on cosmetic procedures, go to WebMD.com/skin-beauty.
