Memory Gel Silicone Implants now feel more like natural breast tissue than any implant before. Their solid structure — having the silicone gel rather than liquid in the implant — give a natural texture and consistency. If stretched, a Memory Gel Implant will return to its shape, meaning the natural shape and feel can be consistent.  Silicone Gel Breast Implants gives women a major additional breast implant option when deciding to undergo Breast Augmentation in Columbus.

Memory gel implants represent the latest in cohesive silicone gel implants technology. In modern silicone gel implants, the viscosity of the gel is one of the major updates; this means that, even in the extremely unlikely event of a disruption of the implant structure, the silicone remains intact and does not leak out in a liquid form. This fact addresses the major concern that led to additional implant scrutiny in the early 1990s.

To learn more about Memory Gel Silicone Implants, please contact the Board Certified Plastic Surgeons of Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery and we will happily set up a consultation to answer any of your questions.

A sample complaint regarding Lifestyle Lift:

“I was amazed. I thought, wow!” said Diane Jarzab. “When I heard that you could actually have it done on your lunch hour, I said this can’t be too bad.” Her results were unremarkable, so she filed a complaint with the Arizona Medical Board.

The article also notes that “The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic surgery recommends seeking out a consultation from a licensed, board-certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon who operates in an accredited facility before undergoing a facial plastic surgery procedure.”

According to Dr. Timothy Treece, “The Board Certified Plastic Surgeons at Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery utilize only trusted mini and full-facelift techniques. We do not perform the investigated Lifestyle Lift, but do offer trusted mini face-lift options performed by qualified board-certified plastic surgeons, that require less downtime than a traditional full facelift.  The surgical techniques we use are customized to the facial structure of each patient, allowing for a beautiful, natural result.  These can be modified based on the results desired and the amount of downtime each patient can allow.”

What is SkinTyte II

SkinTyte II at Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery offers better results in one-third to one-half the time of previous skin tightening procedures. The most common areas that are tightened include facial areas like cheek and chin; jawline, neck, abdomen, arms and thighs.

SkinTyte procedure results may vary from patient to patient. The SkinTyte procedure is recommended for patients who desire moderate, noticeable skin improvement without having to undergo surgery. Full results often take up to four months as the collagen foundation of your skin is rebuilt and strengthened.

How Does it Work?

The SkinTyte procedure utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat dermal collagen. The heat initiates the body’s natural healing process, which creates a renewed collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness. Powerful cooling maintains the outer surface of your skin at a cool temperature.

A mother gives so much: she gives her time, she shares her wisdom, she forfeits countless hours of sleep, and she does it all for her children. But there is something else that is a big part of a mother’s sacrifice which doesn’t appear in many holiday cards:

Her body.

Breasts lose their shape, skin is stretched, the abdomen is often apparently unrelated to the pre-pregnancy body. Weight gain and loss throughout pregnancy wreak havoc on a body in ways not previously imagined.

A mother gives more of herself than anyone could ever ask, and she does so selflessly. With Mother’s Day approaching, whether you are a mother or if you are thinking of yours right now, know this: we can help restore your body.

The results which can be achieved via our Columbus Plastic Surgery Mommy Makeover may be far more impressive than you would ever expect.

A breast lift (possibly with a breast augmentation) can give back what breastfeeding and gravity have taken away, and then some. A tummy tuck can get your abdomen back to how you remember it, repairing stretched and damaged muscles. Liposuction may be used to remove unyielding fat cells, and you may even be a good candidate for less invasive procedures such as SmartLipo and VASER Liposelection.

To learn more about Mommy Makeover in Columbus with our Board Certified Columbus Plastic Surgeons, please contact us today to set up a consultation. Educating yourself or a mother you know about these procedures may be the best Mother’s Day gift you can give this year.

It is well known that skin exfoliation is an important anti-aging beauty must.  As we age, our skin cell turnover slows down.  Therefore, we have to give our skin a helping hand and mimic what younger skin does naturally.   There are many great options for exfoliating skin in Columbus:  Microdermabrasion, Chemical Peels, and Topical Application of Medical Grade products are among the best.  But, one option that is among the simplest – yet most effective – is the Dermaplane technique.

What is Dermaplaning? A Dermaplane treatment is a gentle resurfacing technique.  It utilizes a special surgical grade blade that is lightly moved across the face in order to remove dead skin cells.  By removing the outer layers of skin, it is also effective in treating acne scars and wrinkles.   And unlike other treatments, it doesn’t require any harsh chemicals so it is tolerated very well by most skin types.  In addition to exfoliation, dermaplaning will also remove the tiny hairs on the face.  Many of our Ohio clients like this method of hair removal over waxing as it leaves less irritation on the skin.  Makeup application is also much smoother over skin that has been effectively treated.  Dermaplane is often used in conjunction with other facial treatments and your aesthetician may use it as a prepping step.  Since it removes the layers of dead skin cells and tiny hairs, it allows other treatment agents to absorb better into the skin.   Better yet, your skin will absorb your professional  skin care products, such as Obagi, SkinMedica & Vivite more effectively; thus allowing them to work better.

Dermaplane should only be performed by highly trained medical aesthetician.  In our plastic surgeon supervised Columbus medical spa locations in Upper Arlington, Easton Town Center, Dublin & Westerville we recommend dermaplaning every 4-6 weeks to in order for your skin to mimic younger acting skin & achieve dead skin cell removal.   This regular maintenance will help you to achieve beautiful, smooth, healthy skin!

“The system is designed to give patients a more accurate representation of their surgical result, helping better inform women before surgery of how they will look after the procedure,” said Dr. Timothy Treece. “We are excited about offering this new system as it will greatly enhance our Columbus patient’s confidence during the breast implant sizing selection for breast surgery procedures,” added Dr. Robert Heck.

The new Volume Sizing System uses 18 different breast sizing molds to represent a full range of breast sizes. The breast implant sizers are made of a comfortable, flexible silicone material and are shaped to fit around patient’s existing breast tissue, offering a realistic preview of how she will look after a breast procedure.

Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery uses only Mentor Breast Implants based on their 30 year record of adhering to the highest standards of safety in manufacturing, testing and clinical trials for saline breast implants and silicone breast implants. They are the only company in the world whose implants are manufactured in the United States. Breast Procedures performed by the Columbus plastic surgeons at Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery that utilize breast implants include Breast Augmentation, Breast Lifts (Mastopexy), Breast Reconstruction, and Breast Reduction.

“Whenever we find a way we can improve communication between ourselves and our patients, to make the surgical experience more comfortable and less mysterious to our patients, we want to do it,” said Dr. Susan Vasko. “The Mentor Volume Breast Implant Sizing System is an excellent tool both for us and our Ohio plastic surgery patients, and it leads to better understanding and expectation of outcomes when selecting breast implant size,” added Dr. John Wakelin.
