Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss Improves Patient
    KALAMAZOO, MI, May 05, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Major weight loss is a fantastic achievement. However, Dr. Scott Holley and Dr. Raghu Elluru, who specialize in plastic surgery near Kalamazoo, say there are several steps they can take at Great Lakes Plastic & Hand Surgery to make the lives of post-weight-loss patients even more enjoyable.

"After people lose large amounts of weight, they may be healthier and more mobile, but they are often left with a new set of self-image issues," Dr. Holley says. "The fat may be gone, but they are often faced with excess, sagging skin that can cause chafing and rashes and prevent them from feeling their best."

Following weight loss, many women are disappointed to be left with limp, sagging breasts that lack much of their former volume. In fact, a recent study published in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that even among women who had had breast-reduction surgery in the past, 86 percent believed their breasts look worse after weight loss.

Dr. Holley explains that with a breast lift or breast augmentation, Kalamazoo women can restore the lost volume and have younger-looking breasts that are contoured to fit their new bodies.

He says post-weight-loss patients often come to his practice from Grand Rapids, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo for plastic surgery procedures such as abdominoplasty, otherwise known as a tummy tuck.

"A tummy tuck can tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin all in one procedure, giving patients the smoother, more contoured midsections they dreamed of while they were on their weight-loss journey," he said. "It's so rewarding for me and my partner, Dr. Elluru, to see the improvements we can make in people's lives."

Dr. Elluru often recommends that post-weight-loss patients come in for a consultation to learn about the life-improving options that are available.

"One of the things we specialize in is body contouring after massive weight loss," Dr. Elluru says. "Through a variety of procedures tailored to fit each patient's needs, we can tighten loose muscles, get rid of excess skin and smooth away remaining fatty deposits. Our patients are happier because their bodies look better, their clothes fit better and they can move more freely.

"Post-weight-loss patients shouldn't have to hide behind loose-fitting clothes. They should be able to celebrate their achievement and have bodies they can show off and be proud of."

At Great Lakes Plastic & Hand Surgery, Dr. Scott Holley and Dr. Raghu Elluru are board-certified plastic surgeons specializing in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Dr. Holley is a graduate of Indiana University School of Medicine. He completed a residency in plastic surgery at University of Cincinnati and a fellowship in hand and microsurgery at the Christine M. Kleinert Institute for Hand and Microsurgery in Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Elluru received his medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas and completed a residency in plastic surgery at Indiana University. He also completed a hand fellowship at the Christine M. Kleinert Institute. With offices in Portage and Battle Creek, Michigan, the practice serves patients from Kalamazoo, Lansing and Grand Rapids.

Plastic Surgeon Discusses Revealing of First Breas
    NASHVILLE, TN, May 02, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Jack Fisher is discussing the recent revealing of the first patient to have breast augmentation with implants. Esteemed among plastic surgeons in Nashville, Dr. Fisher says it's interesting to see how this woman's procedure in 1962 positively affected her life.

MailOnline.com recently published an article on Timmie Jean Lindsey, an 80-year-old woman who was the first patient to have breast implants, taking her from a B to a C cup.

"It's fascinating to see how breast augmentation has evolved since Timmy Jean's first procedure," says Dr. Fisher. "While this patient is still happy with her results, there have been a number of innovations that have helped people achieve beautiful and natural-looking results.

Dr. Fisher offers breast augmentation patients in Nashville a variety of options for implants, including size, type and profile.

"I seek to personalize breast augmentation procedures, so patients can have results that are customized to their body types and cosmetic goals," says Dr. Fisher. "I assist patients in learning the benefits of silicone and saline breast implants in Nashville, as well as how incision placement options can affect a person's results."

As of this May in Vancouver at The Aesthetic Meeting 2012, Dr. Fisher becomes President Elect of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Fisher says that one of the keys to beautiful results is choosing a qualified specialist with enough experience to create the intended results.

"Although Timmie Jean was the first breast augmentation patient with implants, it appears that her surgeons were extremely committed to providing safe results," says Dr. Fisher. "This commitment to optimal care is important regardless of the procedure in question.

"As a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, I use my skills to help people feel and look their best," says Dr. Fisher. "It's great to see that Timmie Jean is 'delighted' with her results and thinks it's 'awesome' to be the first patient with implants."

Dr. Jack Fisher is a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast enhancement, body contouring, and facial enhancement, as well as non-surgical skin care treatments. Throughout the country, Dr. Fisher is a well-known and respected surgeon. He has been invited to speak at a number of surgical conferences throughout the world, particularly on breast and aesthetic surgery. He is also an Associate Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at the prestigious Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN. Dr. Fisher received his medical degree from the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, completed his internships and residencies in general surgery at George Washington University Medical Center and his plastic surgery residency at Emory University Affiliated Hospital. Following his residency, he was on staff at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, from 1981 to 1986 as attending plastic surgeon.

Not Surprised by Whitney Houston's Breast Implants
    PHOENIX, AZ, May 02, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Remus Repta of Advanced Aesthetic Associates says he's not surprised that the Los Angeles County coroner found scars associated with breast implants on Whitney Houston's body, since breast augmentation in Phoenix and across the nation is extremely common.

What Dr. Repta finds interesting is the spin the media put on the results of the coroner's report, which indicated there were small scars associated with breast implants on Houston's breasts.

"Whitney Houston's tragic death was covered by news sources across the nation, but I was shocked to see that evidence of breast implants was considered by the media to be a 'surprising detail'" Dr. Repta says.

"While she may not have been overly open about having had cosmetic surgery, breast augmentation is very common and continues to be the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the United States."

American Society of Plastic Surgeons statistics show that breast augmentation is the top cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in the country, with more than 300,000 augmentations recorded in 2011 alone.

"Breast augmentation is also one of the most popular procedures at our Phoenix plastic surgery practice," Dr. Repta says. "It has become the most common cosmetic procedure because it can be such a positive change in how a woman looks and feels about her body. When performed properly, breast augmentation is a straight-forward and safe way to create a natural-looking enhancement that helps women feel more confident and better about themselves."

Dr. Repta and the other board-certified plastic surgeons at Advanced Aesthetic Associates pride themselves in providing personalized solutions for each of their patients.

"People may have been surprised to discover that Houston had breast implants at some point in her life because she did not look like she had had cosmetic surgery," Dr. Repta says. "With modern techniques, natural-looking results are easy to achieve through plastic surgery in Phoenix and across the nation.

"Advances in technology continue to help patients look and feel their best, and I hope Whitney Houston had a positive experience with her procedure, as well."

Dr. Remus Repta, Dr. Lewis Albert Andres, Dr. Pablo Prichard and their excellent staff at Advanced Aesthetic Associates take pride in being at the forefront of plastic surgery in Phoenix. They offer patients safe and effective techniques for attaining beautiful results. Each surgeon is skilled in reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery procedures for the face, body, breast and skin. They provide an exceptional level of patient care, treating each patient with respect and empathy. Through open communication and plenty of face-to-face time, they are able to develop an individualized treatment plan for every patient.

Plastic Surgeon Reacts to FaceTime Facelift
    ATLANTA, GA, April 25, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Theresa M. Jarmuz of Buckhead Facial Plastic Surgery is a plastic surgeon who specializes in face lift in Atlanta. She says the FaceTime Facelift, a procedure that specifically targets face and neck areas that appear flabby onscreen during video chats, is not often requested at her practice.

A recent article from the The Huffington Post explains why some iPhone users are turning to cosmetic procedures to enhance their FaceTime images.

According to the article, plastic surgeon in Northern Virginia developed the FaceTime Facelift to concentrate on areas that are highlighted during video chats and provide a specialized type of facelift. Altlanta plastic surgeon Dr. Jarmuz says this trend won't affect her patients.

"FaceTime Facelifts are an interesting development in plastic surgery, but they have yet to catch on at my practice," Dr. Jarmuz says. "While patients come to me with questions concerning how they can rejuvenate their appearances, they are typically more concerned with achieving natural-looking results in person than with how they look on camera."

Dr. Jarmuz is certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology. She customizes procedures such as eyelid surgery, brow lift and face lift for Atlanta patients who want long-lasting results from facial rejuvenation.

"Natural-looking results are a top priority among patients at my practice," Dr. Jarmuz says. "I personalize procedures to match each patient's exact needs. Our goal is to help people look good not only while on FaceTime but also when they're interacting with family, friends and others face to face."

Dr. Jarmuz says a number of people turn to her practice for non-surgical rejuvenation procedures, as well, in order to cut down on the cost and recovery time associated with surgery.

"Surgery isn't the only option when it comes to getting the look you desire," Dr. Jarmuz says. "My patients also benefit from non-surgical rejuvenation procedures such as BOTOX Cosmetic, injectable fillers and laser hair removal in Atlanta."

At Buckhead Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Theresa Jarmuz provides a full-spectrum of surgical and nonsurgical facial procedures in Atlanta, Georgia, including face lift, eyelid surgery, BOTOX Cosmetic, and laser skin resurfacing. Dr. Jarmuz is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with membership in professional organizations such as The American Medical Association and The American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgery. She is a nationally recognized author and lecturer who has won awards for her research in wound-healing and injectable fillers and provides a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation for women and men in the Atlanta area.
