Breast Revision Plastic Surgeon - Utah

Breast Revision Utah - Breast implants can return breast volume lost to time and gravity, create the figure nature never provided, correct differences of symmetry, and even restore breasts lost to illness or injury. Any surgical procedure can go awry, however, and though complications are relatively rare for breast implant surgery, they can happen. When a previous breast augmentation creates a cosmetic problem or poses a health risk, a revision procedure usually involving removal or replacement of the implant is called for. Some of the most common complications to breast enlargement are capsular contracture, nipple sensitivity (or the loss thereof), rippling, and rupture.

Of course, complications are not the only reason for revision surgery. Most implants are only designed to last 10 years, and many women find, after their surgery, that they simply wish they had gotten larger implants. For more on Utah plastic surgery, see Dr. Joseph Berg.

A Word About Abdominoplasty in Lindon, Utah

Abdominoplasty in Utah - A tummy tuck operation involves making an incision that falls along the natural creases of the lower abdomen, usually correlating with the bikini line. The skin is then lifted away from the abdomen, creating a flap. Depending on the patient's unique situation, the navel may be moved, fat may be suctioned away, and excess skin is excised, or cut away. Scarring is minimized as much as possible by the incision's being located in a natural crease, and by the application of vitamins and adhesives, but a scar is to be expected whenever there is an incision.

Utah cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Kimball Crofts, reminds patients that planned future pregnancies and certain medical conditions can make an abdominoplasty unsafe. The best way to know for sure if you are a good candidate for this procedure is in a personal consultation with your plastic surgeon.

Eyelid Surgery in Lindon, Utah

During the aging process, wrinkles, lines, and puffiness around the eyes contribute to a tired or aged appearance. Since the eyes are among the first things noticed about a person, it stands to reason that, whether the eyes look old and tired or young and energetic, judgments about the eyes will extend to the person. Eyelid surgery (known as blepharoplasty) is a procedure performed to give the eyes a visual pick-me-up.

Dr. Kimball Crofts performs blepharoplasty in Utah. The procedure involves small incisions in the natural contours around the eyes where any scars will be less noticeable. Fatty tissue is removed and loose skin is tightened, sometimes using laser technology to smooth the lower lids. If you are considering cosmetic surgery in Utah, you want to arrange a consultation with Dr. Crofts to discuss your goals and what can be done to help you reach them.
