Consider Invisalign

Invisalign™ is an innovative treatment using clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth, while correcting crowding and helping you maintain your dental health. Based on your dentist's diagnosis and treatment plan and on Invisalign™ computer imaging, a series of custom aligners are created to slowly move your teeth. They are easy to remove to eat, brush, and floss.

Treatment time can be comparable to that of traditional braces. Depending on your needs, treatment time can range from six to 20 months to achieve a brilliant, straight smile. Talk to an orthodontist.

Michigan Cosmetic Surgeon - Breast Reconstruction

Detroit breast reconstruction - Over 190,000 women would be diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States in 2009 according to an estimate from the American Cancer Society, which predicted that close to 40,000 would die of the disease. Faced with such a deadly malady, doctors are often forced to remove the offending body part completely lest the tumor spread. Women who must undergo a mastectomy, however, are also presented with a whole host of potential physical and emotional woes over and above the cancer. The breast may seem purely decorative from certain perspectives, but often plays a central role in a woman's sense of self and femininity.

It would be the epitome of understatement to suggest that the decision to have breast reconstruction is highly personal. Though a reconstructed breast will never look or feel exactly like the original breast, it can make a significant positive impact on the self image and quality of life of women who choose to undergo the procedure, and a study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons released in 2008 found that 98% of women would choose breast reconstruction again. Detroit plastic surgeon, Dr. Mohamad H. Bazzi, is a board certified plastic surgeon providing breast surgery and a full range of cosmetic procedures.

Los Angeles, California - Gynecomastia Surgeon

Los Angeles breast reduction is not just about solving back and neck pain for disproportionate women. While it's true that doctors like Los Angeles plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Teitelbaum, do offer these women relief from some of the ill effects of being a bit too voluptuous, there is also breast reduction for men to consider.

Gynecomastia, defined by Mirriam-Webster Online as "excessive development of the breast in the male," is actually quite normal. Statistically, in fact, a man has a better chance of developing gynecomastia than not. Frequently it resolves itself, but even "man-boobs" that don't need not be permanent. Just as Dr. Teitelbaum helps women with excessively large breasts, there is treatment to be had for gynecomastia. Male plastic surgery isn't limited to moobs, either. While you see Dr. Teitelbaum as your gynecomastia surgeon, there are other procedures from which you might benefit as well.

Los Angeles - Breast Enhancement

A little time spent searching the history of prosthetics turns up regular occurrences of Ambroise Paré as the father of medical amputation and, not coincidentally, influential in the field of prosthetics. There are examples cited of "earliest known" prosthetics, and commentary about how little change one sees in either materials or technique for the bulk of history. Like so many arenas of human knowledge, however, things have really taken off over the last century or so. Iron, wood, and leather have given way to plastics, fiberglass, and other space-age materials. What's all this got to do with breast implants in Beverly Hills, you ask?

A prosthesis is any artificial device used in place of a body part, or to make a body part work better. Arms and legs come readily to mind, perhaps because they are easily spotted without the use of X-rays, at least at a pool or decathlon. The term also applies to more than just arms and legs, however. Ears, eyes, fingers, teeth, and even devices placed surgically inside the body qualify.

As with external prosthetics, the breast implants used by Los Angeles plastic surgeon, Dr. Marc Mani, must conform specifically to the individual patient. Unlike an arm or a leg, this kind of prosthesis is surgically implanted under the breast tissue, either over or under the underlying pectoral muscle. Because breast implants do not technically serve a life-sustaining purpose, the surgery is elective, and so not generally covered by insurance. As such the decision to have breast augmentation surgery is that much more personal. The benefits of breast augmentation may be less easily defined than that of an artificial leg, but are no less real.

La Jolla, CA, Breast Augmentation Surgery

Plastic Surgeon in La Jolla - Self improvement has many faces, from selecting a sensible salad instead of a slab-o-steak to turning off the tube and tackling a tome of Tolstoy. Taking time for physical exercise improves not only your health, but improved health improves the way you feel generally. That may be why we seek to improve ourselves; it does make us feel better. What about the things we can't change, however? The ubiquitous notion that a woman's breasts should look a certain way and be a certain size runs far afoul of the reality that time and tide have a great deal more control over those atributes than she has. Dr. Robert Kearney provides highly personalized La Jolla breast augmentation care for a highly personal decision.

Cohesive Breast Implant - Santa Monica, CA

Santa Monica Cohesive Implant - Silicone gel already enjoys some popularity as a breast implant filler. Although silicone gel implants cannot be filled after insertion and so may require a larger incision than a comparable saline implant, its consistency gives it a more natural feel than saline. The concerns of the early '90s, which centered around potential health risks supposedly linked to leaking silicone have effectively been put to rest, and the FDA bestowed their approval upon silicone implants in 2006. Now, the next generation of silicone gel implants are in clinical trials.

These "Gummy Bear" implants are already widely popular in Europe. They are more form stable than either saline implants or conventional silicone implants, so they lend themselves well to a more tapered shape. This better resembles a natural breast contour. The nature of the silicone also renders them relatively leak-free.

These natural-feeling and -looking implants are only available in the United States through surgeons participating in the clinical trials. Santa Monica plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Teitelbaum is one of these few surgeons, and "the only surgeon in the state of California who was asked to participate in the clinical trials of all three cohesive implant manufacturers."

Breast Lift and Breast Implants - Carson City, Nevada

Breast Lift with Implants Lake Tahoe - If you've been thinking about seeking out a plastic surgeon, you probably already have a "concern" or two in mind to be addressed. Maybe your breasts have lost some volume and, due to any number of factors (and combinations thereof, including children, gravity, and time) have come to the conclusion that they would rather reside at a lower altitude.

It could be that breast implants will solve your problem, but it's also possible that they won't. How much elasticity remains in your skin? What is the condition of your other tissues? A breast lift may be a more effective solution than implants, or even a breast lift together with implants. A lot depends on your personal physiology and future plans. Details like these are what makes the consultation with your surgeon so important.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kent Gabriel describes his consultations as "lengthy and informative." By spending "as much time as a patient needs to discuss their situation," Dr. Gabriel says that whether a patient pursues their surgery with him or not, they will leave the consult better informed.
