Breast Augmentation Most Performed Procedure in U. S. and Arizona Plastic Surgery Practice


Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) July 20, 2011

According to the latest study from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), breast augmentation was the most common cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in 2010, followed by liposuction, eyelid surgery, abdominoplasty, and breast reduction. Dr. Steven Turkeltaub says that this is consistent with the breast surgery procedures that he performed for his patients in 2010 as well as the first half of 2011 at his Arizona plastic surgery practice.

Nearly 580,000 breast surgery procedures were performed in 2010. This total represents a 9% increase over the 2009 totals, which were adversely affected by the recession. However, Dr. Turkeltaub says this increase is due to more than the improved financial conditions: ?As highlighted by the latest ASAPS study, an ever greater percentage of Americans approve of cosmetic enhancements, which are increasingly considered as mainstream procedures. In addition to wanting to look better?and feel better about themselves?as they have in the past, for some patients seeking employment or trying to hold on to their jobs, they believe a more youthful, attractive, and even alluring appearance may just provide them with a noticeable and competitive advantage.?

Regardless of the slight decrease in 2009, a 14-year comparison of breast augmentation reveals the number of procedures performed more than tripled from 101,176 in 1997, to 318,123 in 2010. Dr. Turkeltaub says the constant drive for innovation in the field of aesthetic enhancement is likely the cause of such a increase. ?During this same period, there have been technological advancements as well as refinements in technique that should provide patients with more predictable and durable results along with even greater safety and comfort.?

New 24 Hour Recovery for Breast Augmentation Patients is Changing the Way People Feel About Plastic Surgery

New 24 Hour Recovery for Breast Augmentation Patients is Changing the Way People Feel About Plastic Surgery

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 30, 2005

Enjoying beautifully sculpted and exquisitely shaped breasts without an extended recovery time is not just a distant dream for American women any longer. The 24-Hour Recovery Breast Augmentation is a reality for cosmetic surgery patients who wish to enhance their breasts while minimizing postoperative pain and speeding up the healing process.

“A redefined patient experience is now possible in breast augmentation including a 24 hour recovery,” explains Dr. William P. Adams, Jr., M.D., a Dallas plastic surgeon who is internationally renowned as an expert on breast augmentation and breast implant procedures.

Although the aesthetic benefits of breast augmentation are universally praised, potential patients can be slightly apprehensive after hearing the experiences of friends or family members who experienced a protracted recovery period and who were forced to rest for a week or longer due to post-operative pain. Dr. Adams has enforced several specific techniques that minimize tissue trauma while minimizing the length of the recuperation period — a major advantage for his patients who undergo this cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Adams has presented these breast augmentation concepts and advances internationally, demonstrating the benefits of the 24 hour recovery with no drains, straps, special bras, tapes or bandages. “The expected norm for my breast augmentation patients is that they will be out to dinner the night of the procedure, and back to normal activities within 24 hours after surgery,” he reports.

In fact, over 95% of his patients return to the regular tasks of daily living within the one day clocked frame. Patients are encouraged to use their hands and arms normally, including showering and styling their hair and raising their arms over their head on the same day as the procedure.

Selecting the right plastic surgeon for breast augmentation involving many factors, including issues relating to recovery following the procedure. Dr. Adams believes the recovery post-surgery is one of the most important components correlating to the quality of the procedure.

Dr. Adams has disclosed that the synthesis of the specific operative techniques allowing this type of rapid recovery is one of the single biggest advances in breast augmentation procedures and a major benefit to his patients. “The advances that permit the 24 hour recovery have truly revolutionized this procedure for patients desiring breast augmentation,” he notes.

On October 17th and 18th, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Cohen of the Scottsdale Center for Plastic Surgery (http://www.scottsdalecenterforplasticsurgery.com/) will be a featured speaker discussing plastic surgery at the Phoenix Convention Center during the Arizona Women’s Expo. Expected to draw crowds of over 30,000, this event is one of the most extensive women’s expos in the United States and benefits the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation for breast cancer research.

“I’m excited to be a part of this event,” says Dr. Cohen. “There will be some interesting presenters and vendors, and I think all attendees will appreciate that proceeds from the event go toward breast cancer research. As a plastic surgeon with a large number of breast enhancement patients, breast health is an identical important issue to me.”

Dr. Cohen will be discussing all aspects of cosmetic breast surgery including the latest techniques in breast lift surgery, breast reduction, corrective breast surgery and breast augmentation in Phoenix. Dr. Cohen, voted a “Top Doc” in plastic surgery by Phoenix Magazine, is highly regarded for excellence in breast and body surgery. His practice, the Scottsdale Center for Plastic Surgery, attracts patients not only from all over Arizona, but from across the US and other countries as well.

“Cosmetic breast surgery is a topic of significant interest to many women,” says Dr. Cohen. “Whether they feel their breasts are too large, too small or too droopy, I offer surgical options to improve their appearance and enhance their self-esteem. Every breast is unique; therefore I have many different techniques that can be customized in order to obtain the best result. This is also true for many of the other Phoenix plastic surgery procedures that I perform.”

Dr. Cohen’s highly anticipated presentations will provide detailed explanations of surgical options for different aesthetic breast issues, including before and after photos of several patients. Dr. Cohen feels that these photos will be particularly helpful to show various approaches for different body types. In all cases, a beautiful and natural-looking result is the ultimate goal.

“Breast surgery is not simply a technical procedure, like removing an inflamed appendix,” explains Dr. Cohen. “It is truly an art form that requires a thorough understanding of breast aesthetics, particularly in relationship to the patient’s overall body framework. I hope to demonstrate this idea through my discussion and photo examples of various converged surgeries I have performed.”

Dr. Robert Cohen, founder of the Scottsdale Center for Plastic Surgery (http://www.scottsdalecenterforplasticsurgery.com), will be speaking at the Arizona Women’s Expo, at 11:30 AM on Saturday, October 17th and 4:00 PM on Sunday, October 18th.

Does all insurance require you to have 6 months of documentation before getting a “Plastic Surgery” procedure?

Question by snowy cherries: Does all insurance necessitate you to have 6 months of documentation before getting a “Plastic Surgery” procedure?
I NEED a breast reduction due to back pain…DO i just keep going to the doctor over and over, complaining of the pain? What will he do for me for that entire 6 month period?

Best answer:

Answer by cwgrrl7
Most of the time, yes. To be sure, contact the insurance company and ask for specifics. Be sure that the doctor’s office is properly documenting every complaint during every visit you make and be as cooperative as possible. It’s a painful procedure and it takes awhile for approval, but there are soooo many benefits to it that it all is worthwhile. Good luck, hon!

Corrective Breast Surgery – Dealing with Post-Breast Augmentation Issues – A Plastic Surgeon’s View

In my 14 years of individual practice as a board attested plastic surgeon in Oklahoma City, I have met numerous patients with a broad variety of problems that can originate after breast augmentation surgery.

Initially, I dealt mostly with patients who had ruptured silicone breast implants and wanted to change to saline implants. The first and second generation silicone breast implants were prone to ruptures particularly 12 to 15 years after implantation if not sooner. This was at about the same time that a frightened arose among patients that prompted a FDA moratorium on silicone breast implants for augmentation – a moratorium now raising next extensive study into the safety of silicone implants.

I later dealt with the dissatisfaction of breast augmentation patients with retro-glandular saline implants(placed behind the breast tissue, but over the muscle). Retro-glandular implants seem to work well initially and the majority of patients have good long term results. However, those patients who experience weight loss or pregnancies tend to do poorly in the retentive term due to stretching of the skin or capsular contraction (a condition characterized by scar tightening around the implants that makes them hard to the touch or that causes an uneven shape) or both. The result is an augmentation that is obvious or simply not natural.

It is because of this dissatisfaction that I progressively opted to do more and more of my patient’s augmentations retro-muscular (behind the muscle). The retro-muscular augmentation is much more demanding in terms of exact placement of the implants. The symmetry is also more challenging. That is why the skill of the fictile surgeon is critical.

Common problems that can occur include:

Implants that are placed too high; Developing the “double bubble”effect (this occurs when the muscle still attached to the underside of the breast produces a visible crease across the bottom half of the breast); And the implants may migrate laterally over time into the armpit, thereby losing the projection in front and desired cleavage.

I call these less-than-satisfactory resulted “secondary breast deformities.” As mentioned earlier, weight loss or pregnancy may be to blame. Unfortunately, nevertheless, I am also seeing far too many cases that are the result of an ailing done surgery by an inexperienced surgeon. Secondary breast deformities tinned also occur when an experienced surgeon refuses to modifying his skills and techniques, relying on outdated methods that do not produce the best results for patients.

It is through detailed and methodical study of these less-than-satisfactory results, which I named “secondary breast deformities,” that I detect a methodology designed to best prevent these problems in my patients and also to correct these issues in patients referred to my practice. I call this corrective breast surgery.

One of the saddest things I deal with is a patient who not only has a bad result, but one who has been abused and h by an arrogant surgeon unqualified of admitting his/her mistakes. A classic sign of that is a doctor who blames the results on the patient, saying things like “you didn’t massage your breasts as I told you” and other more creative versions of this “blame game.”

The fact is that even the best surgeon may occasionally have a result that is less than ideal. The difference is that a qualified, competent and caring plastic surgeon will take the time to work with the patient and develop a plan for the appropriate corrective action.

Another typical mistake making by some surgeons is to try to rectify sagging breasts by using very large implants. I see this quite often. Sometimes, the patient was promised a smaller implant, but the surgeon switched it to a larger one in surgery using the excuse that the smaller implant would not look well. The patients wind up very dysphoric because they never wanted to have breasts that large. They often feel self-conscious and even embarrassed.

Once breast wove has been stretched by an oversized implant, I have found that a converged lift or a small breast reduction needs to be see in order to fit a smaller implant naturally and produce the resulting the patient had sought initially.

Other problems worth mentioning here are:

Poorly selected implants in terms of shape and form Over-inflated implants Implants that slip under the breast Ugly scars Breast asymmetry.

I now consider myself an expert in corrective breast surgery due to the sheer number of patients whom I have had the honor to help in this regard. It is amazing to see the boost in self image and self confidence this brings to these patients.

Another exciting procedure gaining more attention among board certified plastic surgeons is use of fat grafting for correction of secondary breast deformities, as well as for breast reconstruction after cancer surgery. Fat grafting has produced wonderful develop-erasing results when exploited for facial rejuvenation. I am very excite to apply my experience with fat grafting to breast surgery and will keep you posted of my results.
