While you may initially come into my office to address an immediate beauty need, we will take the time in our consultation to talk about your long term beauty goals and to help you with a plan. This plan may start off with some non invasive treatments, such as a Liquid Facelift using a variety of injectables to touch up and rejuvenate some crows feet, furrowed brows or mouth parenthesis creases. Then it might build into a 5 to 10 year plan for a mini facelift to address slightly sagging jowls and neck or Blepharoplasty to open up drooping eyelids for a brighter, more rested looking eye area. Either way, this plan should not only focus on immediate needs, but incorporate treatments for future youth restoration goals and maintenance.

Cosmetic surgery and non invasive treatments can easily be performed all year long, however, there are certain times of year that lend themselves to easily incorporate the rest and recovery that make it more convenient. Also, there are also certain issues you may want to address before a special event (think: high school reunion or holiday party) or time of year (think: bikini season).

Here is a seasonal surgery guide with suggestions for planning your procedure:

Fall

After the activity of summer and before the flurry of winter festivities, the fall season offers a perfect break in the social calendar for most people. This means that recovery time away is easy to schedule. Also, the cooler weather means clothes with more coverage and comfort. After getting any kids and grandkids settled into school, the scheduled routine or empty nest would allow for effortless predictability and rest for scheduling a surgery. It also will allow plenty of healing time for you to approach the holidays recovered and looking great. This is a good time for anything from Liposuction, Blepharoplasty, Facelift to Breast Augmentation. Fall is my first choice for cosmetic procedures.

Winter

This season offers some good opportunities for cosmetic surgeries. Before the new year, the injectables are the best because you can’t afford downtime between Thanksgiving and New Years, but January is the perfect month to kick off the New Year with a big step towards your beauty and healthy body goals. Winter scarves and turtlenecks easily cover the bruising or swelling from Kybella or a Facelift. Also the bulkier clothes will conceal any over night changes to the body from a Tummy Tuck or Liposuction. The Martin Luther King and Presidents Day holidays allow for long weekends and time off work without the usual holiday social schedule.

Spring

These are the months to rejuvenate and refresh yourself along with the start of a new season, and to prepare for the summer season. Body image procedures such as Liposuction, Brazilian Butt Lift, and Breast Augmentation are popular this time of year. Also, by this time, some of the results from New Years resolutions for weight loss have a chance to kick in and become a habit so that body contouring can have optimal results.

Summer

Surgery can be a success in the summer, but it’s crucial to stay out of the sun. The heat and sweat can be irritating during recovery. It’s always a great time for injectables like Botox, Juvederm, Radiesse, Sculptra since these injectables are in and out so you’re on your way to looking fabulous for your vacation. Another fabulous non invasive, body contouring rpocedure to trim away small puches of stubborn fat is SculpSure. Popular summer break surgical procedures are Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty between the school years.

One of the 2016 predictions I feel strongly about is that the Ideal Implant will grow to be the primary and most requested implant for breast augmentation. After many years of trials and testing, to prove safety and patient satisfaction, the Ideal Implant is now available to my patients and those of other plastic surgeons around the country.

Not the Same Saline Implant
The Ideal Implant improves upon the saline implants of years past… but still offers the benefit of peace of mind by being a natural, harmless substance. It is called a Structured Breast Implant because the design has inner compartments to control the flow of saline, giving the implant a more natural look and feel and making it more resistant to leakage.

Now that a natural feeling saline implant is available, the greatest downside of saline implants, from the past, is eliminated. In older models, all the saline would pool in the bottom to give a sagging feel. Another downside was  folding at the edges so the implant outline would be detectable. Now, with the inner layered structure inside the Ideal Implant, neither of these is an issue.

Designed for an Aesthetically Natural Look and Feel
The innovative design of the Ideal Implant includes a series of implant shells nested together inside two separate chambers. This holds the saline filler in place and controls the movement of the saline within the implant. This maintains an aesthetically appealing position and shape that also feels natural. This internal structure is designed to reduce folding, rippling and wrinkling, which is a common complaint for traditional saline implants. With no folding and a lowered outer edge, the Ideal Implant achieves an improved seamless contour with the chest wall.

Materials with Well Being in Mind
Ideal Implant is filled with saline, a safe sterile salt water solution that is used in many medical capacities and, unlike silicone, poses no harm if it leaks. Even so, Ideal Implants internal structure is designed to reduce folding and wrinkling, which is thought to be the main cause of implant rupture and deflation. The outer shell is made with similar time tested silicone material as other implants, including the silicone. Even though no implant offers a lifetime warranty and requires regular checks, you can have the peace of mind that if there was a leak, you wouldn’t be exposed to a toxic material.

Experience to Demonstrate Reliability and Safety
A multi-center US clinical trial that began in 2009 with 502 women resulted in the Ideal Implant being approved by the FDA and Health Canada in 2014. Ideal Implant is made in the United States at an FDA-inspected facility with more than 30 years experience.

Feel Beautiful and Secure with Ideal Implants
I believe Ideal Implant provides what women are looking for in a safe implant….. peace of mind with a natural look and feel. To schedule a consultation to find out if Ideal Implants are a good fit for you, visit www.davinciplastic.com.
