Do plastic surgeons do breast implants?
Yes. It is one of the most common surgeries completed by plastic surgeons. No other speciality does them. Most plastic surgeons first complete general surgery before going into plastic surgery, so they have the experience in general breast surgery. Plastic surgery training has a lot to do with the breast whether it be cosmetic or reconstructive. However, make sure this is the case for the surgeon you make an appointment. READ MORE

This totally depends on your body build and weight. In general, if you have no problems, the cushioned gel is the most likely. However, a problem with the surgery most likely is a capsule formation and if this happens, no implant feels normal. READ MORE

What is the difference between dermabrasion and microdermabrasion?
It is depth that the skin is dermabraded. Micro is less. When an area is considered for dermabrasion it is how deep, aggressive the procedure is to get the desired result.

You have to make sure the person doing it has the training, the specialty and it is fair to ask to see pictures of procedures the doctor has done. READ MORE
