Gift Cards for Plastic Surgery Dos and Don’ts

A recent trend has been giving out plastic surgery gift cards to loved ones. This may be a dangerous route for those of you who don’t know for sure that your significant other actually wants some work done. The last thing you want to do is completely offend them by giving a gift card for liposuction, when they didn’t think they needed it in the first place.

This is not a gift you want to be a complete surprise for the recipient, make sure they really want it and have mentioned it to you directly. Here are a few tips before you decide to go forward with this:

•          Don’t suggest procedures.
•          Ask around about procedures.
•         Don’t ask when the recipient plans on using the gift.
•          Make sure to mention that you love them just the way they are, but if they want a procedure done you would love to pay for it.

Reduce Your Chances of Serious Drug Reactions

In recent years there has been an increase in genetic testing that can help avoid some of the serious drug reactions that take place throughout the United States every year. The tests that occur can determine how people might respond to common medications. These common medications can help some patients but harm others because some people absorb these drugs at a faster pace, while others process these at a slower rate.

Tiny differences in our genes that regular enzymes are the reason for this. Everyone is different and so are our bodies. The fact that everyone’s bodies absorb medications differently shows that everyone can be affected by anything differently. Take plastic surgery for instance, everyone’s bodies are different and they need to see a board certified plastic surgeon in person in order to get an understanding of what they really need.

Majority of hospitals are including information in patient records to help guide the doctor into choosing the most useful drugs and proper amount of dosages for patients moving forward. There is no recommended use, everyone is different and deserves to be evaluated in that way.

How to Get Natural Beauty From Foods

"Summer can be a lot easier for healthy eating, it lends itself to lighter foods," says dietitian and spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association Alana Macdonald. "In the winter months we tend to eat more potatoes and bread, relying more on stodgy comfort food when it's cold and rainy outside."

These are the foods that experts recommend are good to eat this summer:

1.  . Strawberries – Jammed packed with vitamin C, strawberries have seeds on them which are a good source of fiber. This helps to prevent heart and cardiovascular problems that may occur.

2.    Tomatoes – Rich in beta-carotene and lycopene, which may reduce the effects of UV damage from the sun.

3.    Salad Leaves –In order to maintain healthy skin, we need vitamin A which fresh leaves produce. Salad leaves are a source of carotene, which is needed by the body in order to make vitamin A.

4.    Vegetables – Everyone knows that this is one of the healthiest choices but what some of you don’t know is that summer vegetables often have less carbohydrates and calories than typical winter vegetables such as carrots and potatoes.

5.    Cold Summer Salads – These summer salads should be made up of herbs, grains, and pulses. Wholegrains are rich in Vitamin B which boosts skin cell growth. This will help with fighting off any sun damage that may occur during these summer months.

6.    BBQ! – Everyone loves a good BBQ in the summertime and there’s no better way than firing up the old grill and tossing on some chicken with vegetables on a skewer. Subconsciously we tend to eat lighter in the spring and summer months to get into “bikini shape”.  

If you are looking to improve your health and even alter your appearance, cosmetic surgery may be the way to go. For example, liposuction surgery can remove inches from your frame and provide a slimmer, more attractive physique, but it alone cannot help you maintain a healthy weight. The board certified plastic surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery can work with you to help determine what steps will be necessary after your procedure to help you lose weight and maximize the results of your liposuction surgery.

Trending Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) released its annual report which states the most popular cosmetic procedures as of late. Butt lifts have increased astronomically in the past 15 years with an increase of 252 percent. This could be related to the celebrity involvement of stars such as Nicki Minaj and Kim Kardashian, who have been known for their exteriors. “The ASPS calls 2015 a “year of the rear”; on average, there’s a buttock augmentation procedure performed every 30 minutes of every day,” (Wolfson, 2016).

From Kylie Jenner’s enlarged lips to Ariel Winters breast reduction, celebrities have been making plastic surgery news as of late. This has increased the level of interest in plastic surgery amongst young women. Along with these popular procedures, breast lifts have increased 89 percent in the past 15 years, which still makes it one of the most popular procedures in the United States.

Can You Still Breastfeed with Implants?

Many women have concerns about getting breast implants at an early age because they eventually want to breast feed once they have children. It is very important to know all of the facts surrounding any type of surgery. An overwhelming amount of women who have breast implants can breastfeed whether they decide to get silicone or saline implants. 

Over the year’s test have been conducted that have confirmed that there are no risks involving leaking in saline or silicone implants that result in contamination of breast milk. The key here is to have the least amount of pressure on a woman’s mammary gland as possible. The less pressure on the implant, the better the chances are for producing milk. It’s important to feel great about the way you look and even more so to feel comfortable with the procedure that you’re having done. 

 At Star Plastic Surgery, we assure that when you come to us for a breast augmentation consultation, you will be in the care of an experienced, dedicated, board-certified plastic surgeon. 

During your initial consultation, you will be advised on all of your breast implant options and we will help you find the solution that helps you look and feel as beautiful as you deserve to be. Please contact us today on our website or call 248-735-3800.
