Butt Injections

butt-injections

All this new hype over “Butts” but how do they get them? A new poll shows that more than half of America is intrigued by popular reality stars Kim Kardashian, Amber Rose, and Blac Chyna- because of their butts! Each one of them is known for there over proportional backend, but the big question is, what are they doing to get them?

It seems like every time we turn around on Instagram someone’s butt has blown up, leaving us with the questions, are squats and protein shakes really contributing to their butts THAT much? We need their personal trainers in our life if so- they all have us curious how do all these perfect round rumps appear overnight?

Are you eating your greens, and doing your squats? Is genetics on your side? With all the curiosity, butt conspiracy theorists started digging- surgical enhanced bottoms is the only logical explanation. The basic surgical procedure they found has practically no scarring so no one would really know if squats weren’t really contributing to what they’re sitting on. Just your luck we’ve done some digging ourselves, so whether you’re an interested fan, and curious cynic, or aspiring Instagram model your only one little nip and tuck away from your shot at glory! Here’s the facts behind the “behind”.

Double Board Certified Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Shienbaum of Brandon Plastic Surgery specializes in many cosmetic and surgical procedures/treatments. Dr. Shienbaum weighs in stating that “Butt Implants are not my style, or this seasons”.

Dr. Shienbaum feels that butt implants pose a higher risk for infection, cause uncomfortable pain when sitting, can turn causing an unnatural appearance, along with the long scar it requires to place the implant. So, if implants are out, what’s the new in? Fat grafting has gain popularity over the past 10+ years. Fat grafting is your own fat and it’s reinjected into your buttocks, aka butt injections. With butt injections, there’s virtually no scarring since it’s just placing a needle and injecting fat. It sounds so complicated, but Dr. Shienbaum assures us it’s fairly simple.

THE FACTS

The surgery really only consists of two main parts; removing the fat of the desired areas, and injecting it into the buttocks. Dr. Shienbaum usually takes fat from the upper back, inner/outer thighs, waist line, and lower back. The key is to get enough volume to inject. It is then put into syringes, and the reinjected into the butt. Some surgeons have different methods of how to handle the fat. Some centrifuge it, some wash it. Dr. Shienbaum believes the minimal amount done is better because fat is easy to injure and could be less likely to live. When he injects he creates a rounder and more voluptuous tush. With fat injecting Dr. Shienbaum is able to shape and re define your waist and buttocks by contouring a more musculature behind.

The recovery time is about 3-4 days, a week at the longest. Crazy to think that in just 3-10 days you could have yourself a brand “spanking” new rear. Unfortunately, most are pretty sore after the surgery (workout soreness, like you really did do those 100 squats) and swelling does occur. The swelling is the last thing to resolve, it takes about 6 months for swelling to COMPLETELY disappear. Of course, you anticipate the first week to be very swollen, by the second week a little less and it gradually goes down.

With swim suit season at an end, butt injection season is in full swing, to acquire a free consultation with Dr. Shienbaum, please call (813) 681-5709.

Natural Facial Filler: Is there such a thing?

facial-filler

Great news ladies and men! With our society focusing more and more on appearance they now have a natural way to ease your facial aging process!

What?

Regardless of shape, weight, or body size, we ALL have fat cells. When many hear fat it is automatically the enemy, unless you are Dr. Shienbaum. Plastic Surgeons all over the globe are utilizing fat more and more throughout the body! Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Shienbaum considers fat as his friend. “I see fat as my friend, it carries more than just volume, it carries your natural tissues, and stem cells.” Dr. Shienbaum of Brandon Plastic Surgery uses fat in almost every facial enhancement surgery. “Fat is gold to me, I am able to contour and shape with the most natural filler”, states Dr. Shienbaum. He uses it to elevate the caved, sunken appearance of the malar or cheek regions to give you “apple” cheek bones. It restores the fullness to your aging cheeks.

Where?

Placement is the key to receiving the best results. Depending on where the fat is placed has a huge deciding factor on how long it stays. Like any other type of graft, in order to be stable it requires a blood supply. The more something moves the more it dissipates and goes away. Therefore, Lips are possible to fat graft to but sometimes not recommended because our lips are the most animated part of our bodies. To achieve the best results, Dr. Sheinbaum recommends the fat to be inserted into the cheeks to re contour and lift the skin giving you a sleek jawline, and eliminating those annoying bags under your eyes.

How?

On average, about 50% of fat grafted injected fat remains living and permanent in the facial region. With that Dr. Shienbaum often gets asked, “If only half of my fat is expected to remain, can we overfill and achieve a longer and better result.” He always answers no to this questions because the face naturally has very small compartments of fat in the face. You can only insert the fat into certain small areas. It’s always best to remain conservative, and achieve what looks good. Dr. Sheinbaum reassures his patients that a drop of fat is all that’s needed to correct even the droopiest of baggy under eyes. It is always best to assume that on average, yes 50% of fat remains, but in any given case all of the fat injected could live and remain permanent, so it’s better to stay conservative and not overfill.

While many still remain very negative about fat, everyone loves the idea of a younger appearance. Dr. Shienbaum always asks patients if they would like a younger appearance with any given liposuction procedure. He always fully discusses how he is going to remove the fat to where he might add it based on the patient’s desires.

breast-lift

Weight gain or loss, breast feeding, pregnancy, genetics, and age can all affect a women’s body; especially their breast. It can sometimes cause breast to droop, sag, or loose volume. A women can feel depressed, unattractive, and older quite possibly even affect the clothes she might wear. Dr. Shienbaum of Brandon Plastic Surgery offers several different Breast procedures with minimal down time and exceptional results.

 Natural Fat Transfer Breast Enlargement

Not all women require implants to give them the desired look they would like, Dr. Shienbaum utilizes a state of the art technique called fat transfer. Patients have the option to use their own fat cells to give the desired extra breast volume instead of an implant. Fat transfer can be used to augment the breast by Liposuction of fat from a desired area Dr. Shienbaum and you decide on. Many patients report having “pre pregnancy” breast fullness. Although he cannot guarantee that outcome he can always try to help you achieve it.

 Breast Lift

Many women have drooping, saggy breast due to aging or life events (pregnancy, sports, unsupportive bras). Dr. Shienbaum will consult with you the benefit of having a Breast Lift or Mastopexy if your breast sag significantly. There are many different ways to perform a Breast Lift, with minimal scarring. When you consult with Dr. Shienbaum he will discuss the types of incision he would prefer to enhance your “deflated” appearance.

 Breast Lift with Implants

Patients often inquire about implants with a Breast Lift to give them extra volume. Dr. Shienbaum will go over every aspect of how he can meticulous give you your desired aesthetic look. Other questions patients have is “If I just get Breast Implants, it will fix my drooping and sagging breast”. As great as that may sound, it cannot be done with everyone. If you look at your nipples and they point down, if you were to place implants within the breast, your nipples would still point down, therefore requiring a simple Breast Lift to accompany the procedure.

Breast enhancements have always been a desired top procedure at Brandon Plastic Surgery. The pros to a Breast Lift is restoring your youthful and perky feel to your now aging breasts. With Fat Transfer/re-injection it is your own tissue, and if a lift is needed the scarring is very minimal.

Read below to see what procedure Dr. Marvin Shienbaum might suggest for you-

Breast Augmentation: Flat too Full. Low too High.

Sometimes Dr. Shienbaum will recommend just Breast Implants to plump up and restore the lost volume in an empty breast. Dr. Shienbaum evaluates the nipple elevation to see if by placing implants in the breast it will give the patient a normal nipple placement. Some women have drooping breast tissue where the nipple points downward, if you were to place implants in them the nipples would still point downward, therefore that patient may require a breast lift.

Liposuction: Flab to Fab

Dr. Shienbaum would recommend Liposuction for anyone with a “problem area(s)”. Liposuction can be performed on stubborn fat in the hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks, and neck. Even men can and do have Liposuction! Liposuction eliminates the fat cells in the targeted area and kills them, giving you contoured definition.

Tummy Tuck: Nip and Tuck

During pregnancy your abdominal muscles separate, Dr. Shienbaum goes in through a very small incision above the pubic line and cinches your muscles together giving you an “hourglass” shape. He combines Liposuction and a Tummy Tuck in one, giving you a new 360 silhouette.

Brazilian Butt Lift: Saggy too Plump

A Brazilian Butt Lift can transform your butt into a bubble like appearance with your own fat! Dr. Shienbaum utilizes the fat transfer technique by Liposuction.

What to Expect from Gynecomastia Surgery

shutterstock_223933408

With fitness trends on the rise, our generation is facing more body image challenges than ever. What if something your facing is medical related and not the diet you are struggling with. Gynecomastia surgery is a unique surgery to mostly males. It can be life changing and boost a patient’s self-confidence.

Gynecomastia  is referred to as excessive breast tissue and fat in the pectoral area. Most men that are interested in the surgery are in the younger range from 18-37. After the surgery is performed most patients are left with a naturally contoured chest with a low risk of recurrence.

Consultation: What to expect

The first step is consulting with the right plastic or cosmetic surgeon. When consulting the physician may ask you a series of questions to determine the right steps for removal. Not all patients require excision of the excess breast tissue, it may require Liposuction technique due to only extra fatty tissue. After the series of questions by the physician the next step is inquire why the patient wants it removed. Most young men are body building and seek surgery to help them achieve their goal appearance.

Did you do your research?

Depending on the type of gynecomastia surgery your physician recommends for you, is where your knowledge of the plastic surgeon comes into play. When removing the breast tissue by excisional method or liposuction technique, the surgeon most remove enough but not too deep or the patient will be left with a sunken appearance or “crater down” look. Choosing the right surgeon, by asking questions and reviewing his before and after pictures is the key to a right choice. Always check your physicians credentialing as well. Many medical doctors will tell you if asked.

Will I scar bad?

Most patients biggest worry is the scar. Gynecomastia surgery has very minimal scarring. Dr. Shienbaum makes a tiny incision in the lower part of the areola. By placing the scar in the junction of where the skin meets the areola it heels exceptionally well. Depending of the severity of the gynecomastia some patients may not be good candidates because their skin may not have good laxity. Upon consultation, make sure you and your surgeon agree of what you expect of the outcome, not everyone heels the same.

Can it ever reoccur?

Generally, the reoccurrence of the fatty tissue does not reoccur, unless the patient gains a significant amount of weight over the years. Although it is removed, a good physician always reminds patients that aging is of course natural and gravity takes effect at some point. Most patients have a great outcome and would recommend the surgery to any male who is struggling with the feeling of large breast/chest.

After surgery, it is recommended to wear a tight undergarment “muscle shirt” to adhere the skin to the muscle. It lowers the chance of the skin filling with fluid where the excess fat and tissue was removed.

Gynecomastia surgery gives young adults and even mature adults their confidence back to hit the gym, finally reach their body builders goals, or simply to make them feel at ease shirtless again.

For more information about gynecomastia surgery, or any plastic surgery question you might have male or female Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Marvin Shienbaum, will take the time to discuss one on one in a no pressure consultation. Call today: 813-681-5709
