Breast implants have been around for 50 years. While originally made popular by Las Vegas dancers, now the typical patient is a mother whose breasts have changed after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The most popular implant currently is gel implants (which look and feel more natural than the saline version).
Small-breasted personalities like Kate Hudson and Nichole Richie have opted for an implant that reflects a more natural look. However, the important part of the equation in breast augmentation is to see a plastic surgeon like Dr. Jack Peterson in Topeka, that listens to what the patient is looking for and custom fits the implant to their body size and desired size results.

is botox the one for my 1's?
Botox can give you noticeable improvement whether you have one frown line between the brows (1's) or two (11's) or even three (111's).
Years of squinting, concentrating, frowning (or scowling at your children!) cause your skin to crease. As time passes, the skin becomes less elastic and those frown lines remain, even when your muscles are not contracting.
Botox relaxes muscle activity that causes those lines to form. Click here to read more about Botox with Dr. Jack Peterson.

lipo and tummy tuck fat loss lasts
In a recent study, researchers determined that the average weight loss from Liposuction is 2.2lbs and 4.5lbs when combined with a tummy tuck and does not re-appear as long as there is not massive weight gain.
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.

the three p's of plastic surgery
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.
