Question: What are the different types of implants available and which are the most natural looking?
Answer: There are two types of implants: Saline Implants and Silicone. Both implants are available in a number of variations to best fit what your looking for.
Saline and Silicone Implants alterations:

Question: What causes saggy breasts and will breast feeding increase my chances of sagginess? If a breast lift is deemed necessary will my cup size change? What is typical recovery time for a breast lift?
Answer: There are two main factors that cause breasts to sage; one being changes in breast size and the other is poor skin elasticity! Changes in breast size most often occurs when you lose weight or during the pregnancy and nursing period. Keep in mind that deciding to breast feed will also increase your chance for sagginess, more so if you have poor skin elasticity.

Question:
I have acne scars on my face and was told the only way to get rid of them was to get a very severe and deep chemical peel, and if my acne came back the procedure may end up being done “in vain”.
A few years ago I heard about the new Harmony Pixel laser for acne scars. If you get treatment from this laser for your scars and you have an acne outbreak does the scaring come back? Also what dermatologists in Northwest Indiana perform the treatment with the Harmony Pixel laser? What is the cost and is financing available? […]
Question: When can you see the final results from your lower eyelid surgery; three months, four, six or a year?
Answer: For those who aren’t too familiar as to who or why one would have eyelid surgery (aka blepharoplasty), here is the scoop: patients typically suffer from excess skin of upper or lower lids! This excess skin can lead to bags, droopiness, wrinkles and can even lead to impaired vision in some cases. Having the blepharoplasty procedure done removes the excess skin and will leave patients with a rejuvenated appearance!
For those who decide to have the blepharoplasty surgery the after care […]
Question: I have burn scar and wanted to know what the best treatment is to reduce the hypertrophied scar? Is it best to use scar creams or silicone sheets or both? Also, what is the best creams and sheets available?
Answer: To achieve the best possible outcome treatments for reducing the scarring of a hypertrophied burn would include both topical and scar sheeting. Topical scar therapy like Mederma would be used 1-2 times a day, meanwhile scar sheeting such as Curad Scar therapy would be best used at night! This will help the dark color of the scar fade plus help […]
Question: I’m looking to try some chemical peels for my stretch marks before I consider other surgery options, what other treatments are there?
Answer: Great question! Unfortunately right now there is no reliably treatment for stretch marks. Some laser treatments can decrease the darker stretch marks; but for the whiter stretch marks there aren’t effective treatments.
Now if your stretch marks are in areas which lend themselves to be cut out, such as the lower abdominal area then a tummy tuck may be your best option!

There have always been a number of questions regarding the safety of Botox and possible side-effects. Now with the recent report released by the Journal of Neuroscience on April 2nd, which studied side effects of botulinum toxin (an active ingredient in botox) those questions are escalating. People are asking “Is Botox Safe?” “Will botox go into my brain?” or simply “What are side effects of Botox?” all of these are common questions and deserved to be addressed.
Lets start with a quick briefing on what Botox is. Botox is a neuro toxin that has been in use since the first in […]
Question:I had several surgeries for fibroid tumors, polyps and cysts resulting in a hysterectomy. I have an enormous abdomen (probably a lot of scar tissue too) now that I can’t get rid of. Should I pursue abdominoplasty or liposuction?
Answer: The best way to judge whether an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or liposuction is best for you would be by taking a look at your situation. Typically when your abdominal skin and subcutaneous tissue rolls over when you sit down, a tummy tuck is needed. When the abdomen has tight skin that bulges from fatty deposits which are diet and exercise resistant, […]
Question: I have a couple of questions! First how do I burn fat off my stomach? And secondly, is there any way to make my butt bigger without surgery?
Answer Great questions! Improving those two areas on your body are common concerns and can be done using both surgery and natural techniques! When dealing with fat on your stomach let me point out that we do not burn fat, we remove it. Removing fat from the adominal region can be done by doing liposuction or laser followed by liposuction, which is also known as Smartlipo. To learn more about liposuction services […]
