For the next few months, we'll all be bundled up in sweaters and scarves -- making it the perfect time to get any cosmetic procedures done you've been thinking about. More plastic surgery procedures are performed in the late fall and winter months, and it's no surprise considering the many benefits of having them done now. For moms looking to regain self-confidence, the mommy makeover is the perfect procedure. 

Losing excess weight is a major accomplishment, and should give you every reason to celebrate and feel better about yourself as a whole. Achieving a normal, healthy weight through weight loss can work wonders for your overall health and emotional well-being — not to mention your physical appearance. But sometimes, weight loss results in excess, sagging skin that compromises your silhouette, or leads to discomfort by getting in the way.

If you’ve made the decision to move ahead with thigh lift surgery, you’re probably excited just thinking about what your results will look like. Thigh lift surgery helps improve your natural contours and shape by reducing excess skin and fat on your thighs and lower body region. But the way you take care of yourself following surgery will end up playing a major role in your final results.

For many years now, brides have been able to benefit from cosmetic procedures that help them look and feel their best on their wedding days. Today, more and more grooms are also seeking cosmetic surgery procedures for the same reasons; plus, wedding and honeymoon photos eventually become family heirlooms that get passed on from generation to generation. Who doesn’t want to be remembered at their best and most attractive on one of the biggest, most memorable days of their life?

One of the questions plastic surgeons get asked frequently is about age: “Am I at the right age to have this procedure?”

Bra rolls, or excess fat on the back around the bra line, can be a frustrating area to deal with. Not only is it nearly impossible to camouflage under clothes, but it can make you look heavier overall, even when you’ve worked hard to lose weight and get healthy. In fact, fat on the back is a common problem in both men and women alike, and is very hard to eliminate through lifestyle changes alone.

If you’re dealing with this common problem area, you may have already tried back exercises and diets only to find that the fat remains. This is why many patients turn to cosmetic surgery to finally solve this problem. Liposuction, and especially Smartlipo™, is a great way to get your confidence back and say bye-bye to those bra rolls for good.
