Feel Comfortable Again with Breast Implant Removal

You thought breast implants were the right choice for you. You always admired the curvy figures and full busts of other women. You wanted a transformation too. You did your homework and found a surgeon to perform your procedure. You wore inserts in your bra to get a clear picture of what you would look like after implant surgery. You took the plunge. At first, you were happy with your new bust. As time passed, you weren’t so thrilled anymore. You’re wondering if this was a good decision after all. Breast implant removal might be the best alternative to help you feel comfortable again.

You Weren’t Prepared for the Physical Effects from Breast Implants

While you have been happy with how your bust looks since breast implant surgery, you weren’t prepared for the strain on your body. Now that you have extra weight on your chest, it has given you back, shoulder, and neck discomfort. You used to have great posture. You tend to walk with your shoulders slightly hunched now because the weight of your implants makes it hard to stand up straight. You weren’t prepared for wearing larger shirts. You knew you would need new bras to accommodate the new size of your bust. Your shirts and dresses are another story. You can no longer fit into your old clothes because your bust is too large. You don’t like going up a size. You miss wearing your favorite outfits. You want to trim down to your original breast size again, and that’s okay. That’s why breast implant removal exists.

Breast Implant Removal Can Give You Back the Body You Had

Don’t be discouraged if you aren’t happy with your breast implant results. You’re not the only one. Our skilled plastic surgeon can help you to reverse your surgery by removing your implants. You can expect your experience to be similar to breast implant surgery. A recovery period is involved; however, after you have fully healed, you can enjoy the figure that you had before breast implants became an issue.

Six Reasons to Choose CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting® is the most popular non-surgical procedure in the country. Here are just a few reasons why men and women are flocking to this body-shaping alternative to liposuction or surgery.

1. It’s a Fast, Easy Procedure

With this treatment, you don’t have to set aside days to spend in a hospital or in recovery. You can plan your sessions around your schedule and get on with your life.

2. There’s No Downtime

Unlike liposuction and surgery, CoolSculpting® doesn’t leave you with a long recovery. You don’t have to avoid exercise, stay home from work or wear an uncomfortable compression garment for weeks. After a session, most people go right back to work or to whatever else they were doing.

3. It Produces Amazing Results

People love this treatment because it produces great results. This treatment has been tested in hundreds of clinical studies. These studies have found that CoolSculpting® produces real, measurable differences in the sizes of people who had the treatment.

If you’ve been battling bulges all over your body or have stubborn pockets of sagging skin, CoolSculpting® will leave you firm, smooth, and youthful-looking. This treatment banishes your love handles, back fat, jiggly thighs, sagging rear and double chin.

4. The Results Are Long-Lasting

Once you’ve completed your treatments, the fat cells are permanently gone. You still have to maintain a healthy weight, however, because if you start to gain weight then the fat cells that were not frozen away can grow. If you have a plan in place to maintain your weight, you can enjoy your slender, youthful shape for years.

5. It Picks Up Where Diet and Exercise Leave Off

If you’ve dieted and exercised to an ideal weight, you should feel proud of your accomplishment. You might still feel that you need some fine-turning in certain areas. You might have excess fat on your stomach, thighs or other areas that just won’t come off no matter what you do.

CoolSculpting® could be the solution. The body you want is within reach thanks to this safe, easy procedure that works on all your trouble spots.

6. It Can Help Boost Your Self-Confidence

When you feel self-conscious about how you look, that lack of confidence can affect many parts of your life. You avoid wearing certain types of clothing. You aren’t comfortable wearing bathing suits, shorts, or sleeveless tops. You even start avoiding activities that you used to enjoy.

After CoolSculpting®, you’ll feel more confident. You’ll know how good you look and you’ll want to show off your firm, toned body.

Choosing Between Saline and Silicone for Breast Augmentation

If you have decided that breast augmentation is right for you, there are many more choices you need to make. On top of the size of the implants, you will also need to decide what material they should be made from. You can choose between saline and silicone implants. Each choice has its own list of advantages and disadvantages.

Saline Implants for Breast Augmentation

In a saline implant, a shell made from silicone is filled with sterile salt water. One of the advantages of this type of implant for breast augmentation is they give you a uniform texture, look, and feel. If a saline implant is punctured, it will collapse on itself. Although that may seem like a disadvantage, it actually belongs in the plus column for this type of implant. This is because your body is capable of absorbing the sterile salt water and expelling it naturally. A punctured silicone implant can be dangerous because it is hard to detect and your body cannot absorb the material.

This is considered the safer option for breast augmentation. Knowing that, you might wonder why anyone would choose silicone over saline. The trade-off for the safety is that many women do not feel that the saline implants feel as natural as silicone ones. Saline implants have been approved by the FDA for use in adults aged 18 and up.

Silicone Implants for Breast Augmentation

The shells of this type of implant are filled with a silicone gel. These implants are incredibly natural-looking, which is why they remain so popular. If a silicone implant is somehow punctured, it will not deflate. While this is an advantage on the cosmetic side, it means you will need to have your implants checked regularly for leaking. This type of breast augmentation has been approved by the FDA for those who are 22 or older. The risks are typically outweighed by the fact that these implants look and feel like natural breast tissue.

BOTOX Treatment for Wrinkles: How it Works

Nearly anyone over the age of 40 is looking for a way to battle against the signs of aging on the skin. Whether it is something as simple as looking for the best facial lotion for newly dry skin or considering a major treatment, such as a facelift, most individuals spend time thinking about what they can do to look their best. While nothing can stop the aging process altogether because it is completely natural and expected in the body, there are some options for improving one’s look throughout this time. The most popular minimally-invasive anti-aging treatment for the skin today is BOTOX® treatment.

What Is BOTOX® Treatment?

Although you have almost certainly heard of BOTOX® before, you may not know much about it, or you may have heard many myths and misconceptions swirl around it. Therefore, you may be hesitant to try it or may be actively wanting to learn more about it.

BOTOX® is an amazing treatment that can be done with just a few injections. You do not have to undergo surgery nor do you have to have extensive downtime. In just a few minutes, you can experience great effects and get right back to your usual activities without any need to recover.

How Does It Work?

Once the BOTOX® treatment is beneath your skin, it will immediately go to work on the nerves that control the muscles. Once these nerves are relaxed, the muscles can no longer contract or cause the skin lying over it to crinkle into a line. This treatment works powerfully on expression lines, which are the first surface-level wrinkles to form in your skin. You will notice these lines mainly when you are making a facial expression, such as smiling or frowning.

You can expect your treatment to last approximately three to four months. After this time, the BOTOX® will begin to wear off, and your expression lines will gradually reappear.

What Should You Expect at Your Treatment?

Your treatment will be fast and easy. After your treatment, you can go about your day, perform your usual activities, wear makeup and do anything else that is typical for you.

Because BOTOX® is such a safe, effective treatment, we recommend this FDA-approved treatment to many of our patients at Tarola Plastic Surgery in Nashville, Murfreesboro, and Hendersonville, TN who are looking for a minimally-invasive way to see younger-looking skin.

Rejuvenate and Resurface Your Skin with Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a revitalizing skin treatment involving the use of a proprietary solution to slough off portions of the outer skin layer, revealing new skin underneath. At Tarola Plastic Surgery, we are proud to provide our patients with the VI Peel®. We encourage you to learn more about this treatment and how it can benefit you.

What is the VI Peel®?

This peel is a potent blend of special ingredients that work well with all skin types. It can effect incredible results with no skin preparation or discomfort. It can be performed on the face, neck, chest, or hands, and are done so to treat a variety of things: acne, deep and surface wrinkles, pigmentation, oversized pores, and skin texture.

The VI Peel causes the outer layer of damaged skin to exfoliate and make way for a fresh, soft, supple new layer. The depth of the peel depends on your specific skin care needs; everyone has a different aesthetic vision, and we tailor our peels to fit each patient’s unique goals. The degree of downtime and recovery will depend on which depth of peel you receive. We must emphasize the importance of avoiding direct sun exposure after the treatment. At this point, the skin will be very fragile and thus more susceptible to hyperpigmentation and scarring.

Schedule Your Appointment

If you feel that you would benefit from chemical peels, we invite you to reach out and make an appointment with Tarola Plastic Surgery! At our offices in Murfreesboro and Hendersonville, TN, our professional staff will be happy to explain the process, answer your questions, and help you on the road to healthier, more youthful skin.
