Removal of excess fat cells by liposuction and abdominoplasty provides a long-term reduction in treated areas. Measurements do not support the concept of fat reaccumulation in treated or untreated areas of the body,” the most recent study concluded.
A tummy tuck procedure with Dr. Jack Peterson includes liposuction of the abdomen as a standard part of the procedure.

Product, Practictioner, Place
Product- make sure you are getting injected with an FDA approved product that is approved for the area you want injected. During a consultation you should understand the different products and why they are injected into different areas of the face. There is NO FDA approved product for injection into the breast.
Practitioner- Know what type of practicioner is injecting. Is the physician injecting? Go to a doctor that is board certified in plastic surgery.
Place- Don't get injected in a facility that you feel uncomfortable undergoing a medical procedure such as a salon, mall or private home.These are medical procedures and need to be performed in a medical facility due to sanitary environment.
Remember a groupon ad that's to good to be true may mean product that is not FDA approved, a non-certified or inexperienced injector or an unsanitary location.

driving your car can make you look older
Driving your car can make you look older if you are not careful, says Dr. Jack Peterson.
Many Americans notice extra sun damage on their left side face and arms. In Britain it is the right side. Why? It is the "drivers side" effect. Sun damage is caused when patients have long term exposure to UVA rays from the sun which can penetrate glass. UVA rays cause wrinkles and sun damage, UVB rays cause sunburns.
Whenever you are outdoors, even when covered from the sun directly or on a cloudy day, you should be aware that you are not safe from the reflected rays of the sun and should wear sunscreen. If you want toa age as best you can, sun protection is a daily regimen, no matter what you are doing. Put sunblock on before you leave your house.

Study shows breast augmentation improves quality of life measures by over 80%
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation is the most common cosmetic surgical procedure performed in the United States. Over 289,000 women elected to pursue cosmetic breast augmentation last year alone, a 300 percent increase from just over a decade ago.
The primary reasons women seek breast augmentation include dissatisfaction with breast size and/or shape low self-perception of physical attractiveness, and attachment anxieties associated with sexuality. These can lead to patients camouflaging the appearance of their breasts with special brassieres or clothing and/or avoiding being seen undressed by others.
In a study just completed called Breast Q, patients reported significant improvements in satisfaction with breasts - 83%, psychosocial well-being- 88% and sexual functioning - 81%.
