also called augmentation mammoplasty, breast enlargement is usually performed to restore lost volume, balance a difference in breast size, improve breast shape or as a reconstructive technique following mastectomy for patients in sacramento. breast enlargement is ideal for women who are dissatisfied with the shape or size of their breasts. if you've lost volume in your breasts, either because of breast-feeding or weight loss, breast augmentation could restore how you once looked. perhaps, you could even feel more confident about your appearance.

according to the american society for aesthetic plastic surgery (asaps), of the over 2 million surgical cosmetic medical procedures performed by plastic surgeons in the united states in 2007 alone, liposuction was number one. liposuction - also known as suction-assisted lipectomy - is a body contouring procedure that permanently removes the localized fat that does not respond to a healthy lifestyle. with that said, it should not be considered a substitute for diet and exercise.

as you age, your face begins to show the effects of gravity, sun exposure, facial expressions and the stresses of daily life. a facelift - also known as a rhytidectomy - can improve the most visible signs of aging by removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles and suctioning extra fat from the face and neck.

in 2002, botox cosmetic received approval from the united states food & drug administration (fda) for the temporary treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in men and women between the ages of 18 and 65. since then, it has been safely used in millions of procedures to effectively reduce crow's feet and vertical and horizontal folds on the forehead. in the process, it became the no. 1 plastic surgeon-administered cosmetic medical procedure in the u.s. and, for good reason - because it works!

over time, the underlying structure of fat and muscle that supports your skin begins to breakdown. while this is occurring, the size of your skin remains constant. eventually, the plumpness most people associate with youthfulness becomes sunken looking, unable to capture the light that makes the young look... young. not only can injectable treatments like restylane restore this facial volume, but they can also enhance facial features such as the lips and cheeks.
