Do you feel disappointed or let down by what you see in the mirror? Are you tired of feeling like no matter what you do, nothing seems to help?
There are a lot of reasons you may be unhappy with your appearance. Weight loss, pregnancy, and simply the passage of time can take a toll on your body.
Wrinkles, sagging skin, and stubborn fat are all normal parts of life, but if they make you feel self-conscious, there are ways to help you feel more comfortable in your body. Plastic surgery is more advanced than you may realize, and many different procedures can help you look and, more importantly, feel like your ideal self.
Keep reading to find out which plastic surgery could be right for you!
What is Plastic Surgery?
Plastic surgery is any cosmetic procedure that doesn’t serve a strictly medical purpose. However, undergoing plastic surgery isn’t about vanity.
If you’re self-conscious about certain parts of your body, it can have a detrimental effect on your mental and emotional health. Looking closer at how you want to look doesn’t just improve your appearance; it can reduce stress and improve your confidence.
But which plastic surgery is right for you? The answer to this depends primarily on what area of your body you want treated.
Many plastic surgeries are minimally invasive. At Reflections at St. Luke’s, we’ll ensure that the procedure you choose will be as safe as possible, and the outcomes will change how you see yourself for the better!
Reflections at St. Luke’s offers many plastic surgeries, some for the face and others for parts of the body like the arms, stomach, thighs, and more. When undergoing these procedures, the ultimate goal is to feel better about yourself and finally gain the confidence you want.
Facial plastic surgeries offered at Reflections at St. Luke’s include:
Lip Enhancement
Consider lip enhancement if your lips look thin or you want to plump them up. Lip enhancement services include injectable fillers like Restylane or Juvederm, which start working in as little as 30 minutes!
Dr. Villanustre can also use fillers and Botox on other parts of your face to help you achieve a customized treatment plan that meets your desired aesthetic goals.
Browpexy
Are you seeing deep wrinkles and creases on your forehead? A browpexy or browlift can help refresh your eyelids and brows with one incision.
It smooths and tightens the brow’s skin to minimize and even eliminate the appearance of pronounced forehead wrinkles and creases. After this plastic surgery, you’ll look younger, feel brighter, and be ready to conquer whatever comes your way.
Blepharoplasty
Another excellent way to look younger and more awake is with a procedure called blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is a procedure that helps treat saggy, puffy eyelids, bags under your eyes, and excess skin around your eyelids that may make you look older than you are.
Blepharoplasty can also improve your vision if saggy, droopy eyelids limit your visual field. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin, muscles, and fat from your eyelids to help you look more alert, well-rested, and rejuvenated.
Facelift
A facelift reduces wrinkles caused by loose, sagging skin on multiple areas of the face. With this plastic surgery, you can smooth out wrinkles, folds, and sagging jowls by tightening your skin.
Dr. Villanustre may also recommend complementary non-surgical techniques like Botox or dermal fillers like BELOTERO BALANCE, Restylane, Juvederm, or Radiesse to add volume in places that look hollow.
Plastic Surgeries for the Body
Plastic surgeries for the rest of the body offered at Reflections at St. Luke’s include:
Arm Lift
Do you hate the way your arms look? If you have saggy skin drooping downward or want to smooth and tighten the shape of your upper arm, an arm lift could help you have the arms you’ve always wanted.
Thigh Lift
If there’s loose skin on your thighs that you can’t get rid of, a thigh lift may help. This plastic surgery targets any sagging skin on your outer or inner thighs.
Dr. Villanustre may recommend pairing a thigh lift with liposuction for the most impact.
Body Contouring
Losing weight is great, but you may be left with saggy skin. If you want to look smoother and sleeker after losing the weight, consider body contouring.
This technique can be used on multiple areas of the body. It’s used to tighten and smooth out loose skin, primarily due to weight loss.
Liposuction
Some forms of fat do not respond to diet or exercise. This “stubborn” fat can be removed through liposuction. You can use liposuction on almost any part of the body, including your hips, thighs, neck, arms, chest, stomach, and butt.
Tummy Tuck
Whether you no longer have a toned stomach due to weight loss or pregnancy, a tummy tuck can help tighten the sagging skin on your stomach. You can also combine it with liposuction for more dramatic results.
Breast Lift
If you long for the pert, perky breasts of your youth, it’s time to consider a procedure like a breast lift. Whether the hands of time or pregnancy have taken their toll, you can regain the breasts you want and reduce sagging.
Cosmetic Breast Reduction
If you have very large breasts, a breast reduction may be deemed medically necessary to treat associated problems like back pain. A cosmetic breast reduction is not used for any medical purposes and makes your breasts smaller if you’re unsatisfied with their size.
Breast Augmentation/Implant Revision
The size of your breasts can be enhanced by breast augmentation, which uses implants either made from silicone, saline, or tissue from other parts of the body. Implant revision is used if you have breast implants that you want to have changed or to reduce sagging that’s occurred.
Male Gynecomastia Treatment
This plastic surgery is used to treat male gynecomastia, which is a condition that causes pronounced breast tissue in males. The procedure reduces breast tissue to flatten the chest.
Mommy Makeover
The Mommy Makeover offered at Reflections at St. Luke’s is customized for each patient. Depending on your specific needs and goals, we’ll perform a series of treatments at the same time to treat body changes that can occur after giving birth.
Your Mommy Makeover will likely include a tummy tuck to make the stomach flatter, a breast augmentation and lift to restore volume and fullness to the breasts, and, if requested, liposuction to remove any unwanted fat that has developed before or after pregnancy.
