The technology, materials, and experience cosmetic surgeons have at their disposal means patients can get amazing results no matter what they’re looking for. When a patient walks into a cosmetic surgery consultation, one of the first things they’ll realize is that there are a staggering number of options available.

Breast augmentation is no different, and implants come in a wide variety of shapes, profiles, sizes, and materials. While this is a good thing-- patients are able to receive nearly anything they’re looking for-- it also can be a little daunting.

If you’re looking into breast implants, you’ve probably already heard about silicone versus saline implants. As the two most common options, it’s up to the patient to decide which one fits their needs best.

There are a number of factors to consider, so to help you through the decision making process, we’ve outlined the key differences below. However, nothing beats talking face to face with a professional-- if you’re seriously considering breast implants, call Dr. Mucci today to schedule a consultation!

Botox is one of the most common approaches to treating wrinkles. Nearly everyone has heard of it, and if you’ve been thinking about doing something about your wrinkles, you’ve probably thought about Botox before. One of the most common concerns related to Botox is the safety, although scientific research has indicated that when injections are performed by an experienced doctor, Botox is quite safe.

If you’re self-conscious about loose, drooping skin around your midsection, you may have already heard about or read into tummy tuck procedures. Clinically referred to as an abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck procedure involves the removal of loose skin and fat deposits. The procedure also generally includes tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. Altogether, this produces a thinner, more firm abdomen.

“Mommy makeovers” are one of the largest growing trends in the world of cosmetic surgery. In contrast to older generations, more and more women are taking advantage of safe, effective cosmetic surgeries to restore or improve their post-pregnancy bodies.

Safe cosmetic surgery is still a serious health procedure. Once the surgery is performed, there’s no going back.

As such, it is crucial that patients are well informed and can make educated decisions before any procedures. Even once you’ve decided that you want cosmetic surgery, you have to determine what procedure you want, how extensive the procedure should be, who will perform the procedure, and more.
