The Stevens laser bra is the by-product of a breast reduction technique developed by Dr. Grant Stevens, a Los Angeles cosmetic plastic surgeon. It is primarily created by using aesthetic laser technology similar to what is used on various cosmetic processes to tighten the skin to extend the procedure backwash. The procedure was actually to answer the growing demand for breast reduction with a smaller recovery time. Thus, the operating and recovery time is actually halved compared to the traditional breast reduction surgery. Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Laser Bra Breast Reduction? The laser bra breast reduction procedure is best suited for women who experience physical discomfort due to overly large breasts, such as back pain, shoulder strain, or posture issues. It’s also ideal for those seeking a breast lift without implants, as the internal laser bra offers long-lasting support using the patient’s own tissue. Women who have experienced sagging due to weight loss, aging, or pregnancy may also benefit from this advanced breast reshaping surgery. If you’re researching “natural breast lift options” or “breast reduction with minimal scarring,” the laser bra technique may be a viable solution worth discussing with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Benefits of the Laser Bra Over Traditional Breast Reduction Compared to traditional breast reduction techniques, the laser bra offers several advantages.

The internal bra, made from your own tissue, provides natural-looking lift and support—an appealing feature for women who want to avoid synthetic implants. Additionally, patients typically report reduced risk of long-term sagging....
The Discomfort of Traditional Bras Wearing a brassiere is very important for a woman. It holds up the breasts so that they are supported, leaving the woman free to move about with ease. Though this may be true, most women, at some point, find wearing bras bothersome. Face it, wearing an elastic strap around the chest all day does not really spell comfort at all. Bras can feel too tight and too constricting so that there is a tendency to feel like the woman is having a hard time breathing. They can make a person feel irritated as they sometimes feel too hot to wear as the day goes on. Aside from this, picking a wrong bra can spell wardrobe malfunction. Many women end up choosing a bra that does not fit the contour of their breasts perfectly, so they end up with their bust line looking too big or too flat. There are a lot more issues that women face when it comes to wearing their brassieres. But one thing is certain—a woman just cannot do without her bra. She needs her bra in order to support her bust line. The bra also hones the shape of the breasts so that they look firm. Ultimately, women wear bras in order to delay what is inherent with age; drooping and sagging. Introducing the Breform Internal Bra Cosmetic surgeons have developed the breast lift as a solution to this problem. But still, breast lifts will not keep one’s breasts supported. Furthermore, with or without breast lift, the patient’s breasts will eventually sag. So, cosmetic doctors have come up with a...

No one can argue that mothers are simply the best. As kids, they were the ones who nurtured us. They made sure that we had everything we need 24 / 7. Thirty years down the line, and they are still on the lookout. Needless to say, they deserve a lot in return for all they went through for their children; staying up late trying to get the baby to sleep, driving clear across town for diapers, and let’s not forget spending hours in labor before finally giving birth. The Importance of a Mommy Makeover for Mothers Unfortunately, thanks to the amount of effort the put up with in taking care of their families, mothers have a tendency to forget about themselves.

Perhaps you want to have a breast lift, but are concerned about the risks associated with general anesthesia. Or maybe you have small saggy breasts and just want them put back where they belong, but don’t want to go through the time and expense associated with traditional breast lifts. Perhaps a Benelli Lift is for you. How Does a Benelli Lift Work? The Benelli lift was invented by Dr. Louis Benellito to lift smaller breasts in women that have lost elasticity. By removing a doughnut-shaped piece of soft tissue around the areola, the surgeon can easily and quickly lift the breast. This procedure is also called a doughnut mastopexy and a concentric mastopexy. In contrast to a traditional lift, a Benelli lift usually only has a scar around the areola that flattens and disappears after time. During the procedure, a surgeon removes a ring of tissue around the areola and then sutures the surrounding tissue to the edge of the areola with purse string sutures. As these sutures are tightened, it creates a lifting effect on the whole breast, resulting a flatter, rounded breast. The scarring is minimal, there are fewer incisions than a traditional lift and it is usually performed as an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia. The draw back to this procedure is that you cannot have breast augmentation with implant done at the same time. Benelli Lift vs Traditional Breast Lift: What’s the Difference? When comparing the Benelli breast lift to a traditional breast lift, the biggest differences are incision placement, scarring, and recovery time. Traditional lifts often involve anchor- or lollipop-shaped incisions and are better...

Besides the ubiquitous problem of women regarding the size of their breasts, another concern springs from its appearance and shape. Gravity, pregnancy and aging can take their toll on the breasts.

A breast lift, or Mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves extracting extra skin and tightening localized tissue, then elevating the breasts into a normal position. The effects are a more visually appealing breast shape. A breast lift works best for women who have complaints about having flat breast shapes; possess nipples which fall underneath the natural breast crease; having one breast that is lower than the other one; possess areolas and nipples that point downward; or who have enlarged areolas and skin that is stretched out. Breast lifts do not use a breast implant to change the shape; the plastic surgeon just works with women’s natural breast areas. Factors Contributing to Sagging Breasts There are numerous factors that contribute to sagging breasts. These include a family history of breast sagging, gravitational reasons, the normal aging process, loss or gain of weight, skin elasticity loss, breast feeding and pregnancy.

Face Lift Surgery A face lift is a cosmetic lift surgery that involves removing excess facial skin, making the face look younger. The aging face develops looser skin, loses skin elasticity, and loses muscle tone and fat. There are some other procedures which could be needed to achieve the best goals. These include: chin implants, cheek implants, a laser or chemical peel, brow lift, forehead lift, removal of the fat pad within the cheek, autologous fat injection, liposuction, eyelid surgery and a neck lift. Procedure The cosmetic lift surgery is started by making an incision in the temporal region. The incision is then extended downward in front of the ear, coming underneath the ear and extending upward behind the ear, and eventually ending in the hairline behind the ear. The fatty tissues and skin will be lifted from the underlying connective tissue as far as needed to improve the problem with loose skin. The underlying connective tissues may be tightened with stitches, if the plastic surgeon deems necessary. The next step of the cosmetic lift surgery involves pulling back the skin and removing the excess skin. Stitches and skin staples are used to close the treated area. Sterile bandages are then applied. Risks The complications of having a face lift are infrequent, yet some risks can include loss of skin from tissue death, unevenness between the two sides, hair loss surrounding the incision site, a widened scar, temporary loss of muscle function, infection, and bruising. Recovery A cosmetic surgery face lift usually achieves its goal of making the face appear more youthful. The results typically last up to ten years....
