Quote from Carol’s Mom

“After having any surgery I have had problems with the healing of the incision. The scar becomes raised, ropey, and really ugly (keloid scarring). Recently after an open shoulder repair, my daughter suggested I try Dermatix Ultra Advanced Scar Treatment. It worked so well the scar is barely visible and it is flat. I would highly recommend this product to help reduce scarring after surgery.”

Dermatix Ultra forms a barrier against chemical, physical and microbial invasion of the scar site while assisting with hydration. Scars largely develop because collagen deposition is more random during the healing stages. Dermatix creates an environment which allows for better organization of the collagen and improves the physiological and cosmetic appearance of the scar.

For a patient, what fear is generally associated with a breast augmentation?

Breast  augmentation is a procedure that causes both  anxiety and excitement in women undergoing the procedure. The most common fear of breast enlargement is pain. We routinely  use pain control catheters to deliver local anesthesia during the post-op  period. Augmentation mammaplasty is one of the  more commonly performed procedures. and vast  amounts of information are readily available about the  procedure-omit.  It is  considered to be safe and the   majority of women are  happy with their results and achieve an  improved sense of self image.  We have many patients who are willing to  discuss their experience and are happy to speak to prospective breast  augmentation patients.

What is the waiting period for breast reduction or breast lift after weight loss?

It is prudent to wait for a period of time when undergoing any procedure after significant weight loss.  Once one has reached a weight that is near their target, then it is prudent to wait a short period of time to make sure that no significant swings in weight will occur long term.  Once this is done, you can achieve a much better and longer lasting final result since the tissues have reached a stable plateau.
