  • Health Complaints And Surgical Treatment of Symptomatically Large Breasts

    One solution for women whose overly large breasts cause pain, discomfort, or emotional stress is a procedure known as breast reduction surgery. A breast reduction (or reduction mammoplasty) procedure removes excess skin, glandular tissue, and fat to reduce the size and weight of the breast. The...

  • Breast Augmentation Basics

    What is a breast augmentation?A breast augmentation (insertion of implants) is often performed to replace volume lost from weight loss, breast-feeding, or age or to increase the size of the breast for aesthetic reasons.  It is most appropriate for patients with breasts that don’t sag (normal...

  • How effective are face lifts?

    As we age, the soft tissues of our face loosen and begin to descend, we lose volume (fat) in our face, and our skin begins to thin and become less elastic. In the mirror, we see loose, saggy skin, thick jowls, neckbands, and upper face hollowness. For younger patients that are not yet exhibiting these signs of aging, injectables and non-invasive skin tightening procedures such as skin peels are appropriate temporizing options. As we get older, however, excess skin begins to dominate the picture and non-invasive techniques become inadequate. Fortunately, the stigmata of aging can be corrected with a neck and/or face-lift. These procedures can lift the soft tissue back into place, tighten the underlying muscle, and remove the excess saggy skin. See the following link for more info about face lift surgery: http://tiny.cc/facenecklift A detailed examination will help delineate the best surgical option and provide you a custom quote for your situation.

  • How long is a recovery from a breast augmentation?

    After surgery, the breasts swell from the trauma of surgery and the tissues become edematous. This combined with the tightness of the skin and the squeeze of the pectorals muscle on the implant can give the implants a high and flat appearance as the round implants are squeezed like a pancake against the chest. The initial recovery from surgery is a few days to a week. The ability to work depends on your occupation and your pain tolerance. Most patients are able to go back to light duty between 1 and 2 weeks and back to full activity by 4-6 weeks. For more information click the following link: http://tiny.cc/augment As the swelling subsides and the tissues begin to stretch from the weight of implants, the breasts begin to settle. Over the next few months, the implants settle and the soft tissue and pectoralis muscle relax. The shape changes from high and tight to lower and fuller as the implants round out and more of the implant is in position to provide lower pole projection. This “drop and fluff” often occurs over the first few months after surgery as the edema finally escapes and the soft tissues relax. This process is often asymmetric as the breasts relax and settle at their own rates. It will take 3 to 6 months to see a final result – although for some patients this process occurs faster. A detailed examination will help delineate the best surgical option and provide you a custom quote for your situation. Best, Dr. David M. Tauber, MD READ MORE

  • Does it take a while to recover from a mommy makeover?

    A typical full abdominoplasty is performed after bearing children or after moderate weight loss. It can be a powerful procedure that can flatten and remove excess skin and fat from both above and below the belly button and tighten the abdominal muscles. The trade off is a scar in the bikini line that extends hip to hip and a scar around the belly button. Often, flank (love handle) liposuction is added to an abdominoplasty for better contouring. The initial recovery for an abdominoplasty is 2-3 weeks and often includes the need to manage drains for the first 1-2 weeks. The ability to return to work is variable and depends on many factors including the type of work, the pain tolerance of the patient, and the extent of the procedures.

  • Is it possible to gain the fat back after liposuction?

    If you gain weight after liposuction, you can still gain weight in the areas treated. The proportions tend to be maintained, however. For many patients, the weight gain is more evenly dispersed than pre-op.

  • How long will I be under during my nose job?

    A surgical rhinoplasty is a powerful procedure that adds, removes, or re-positions tissue in the nose for better aesthetics - often completely reshaping the nose. These are big maneuvers that are often intended to create millimeter changes to the shape of the nose once it heals. The thickness of the nose skin can affect the overall result, however, an improvement can be obtained for most patients. All of this usually takes between and 1.5 and 2.5 hours depending on the extent of the procedure.

Because you have breathing difficulties, insurance may even cover a portion of the cost! Best, Dr. David M. Tauber, MD READ MORE

  • What can I do to prepare for my tummy?

    The initial recovery for an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is 2-3 weeks and often includes the need to manage drains for the first 1-2 weeks. The ability to return to work is variable and depends on many factors including the type of work, the pain tolerance of the patient, and the extent of the procedures.
