    The Immediate Results of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

    Tag Archives: Plastic Surgery Atlanta

    The Brazilian Butt Lift is always in demand at the Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta and with results like these it’s easy to see why! The Brazilian Butt Lift is the favorite choice for women looking to increase the size and curve of the butt while creating a more lifted and hourglass look. The Brazilian Butt Lift uses a patient’s own fat to create a more voluminous butt, so the patient gets the added bonus of a slimmer, smoother lower back, stomach and thighs. It’s easy to see why the Brazilian Butt Lift is a key reason that liposuction continues to grow in popularity among the top cosmetic surgery procedures in the world, with less possible complications and discomfort than buttock implant.

    Breast Augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world, providing fullness and volume to breasts. There are many reasons women seek Breast Augmentation surgery, but whatever the reason for breast augmentation each patient deserves the best possible results from their plastic surgeon. In the few cases where patients wish to change their implant size, are not pleased with their results, or do not get the results they expected, Breast Augmentation Revision surgery may be able to correct the issues the patient has.

    This patient previously received a Breast Augmentation , but her results as well as the process of aging had left her with breasts that appeared ptotic (sagging) and uneven in size. She visited Dr McCluskey with hopes of restoring the symmetry and fullness to her breasts, and as you can see below he was able to achieve the look that she desired through a Breast Augmentation Revision surgery!

    Going through with any cosmetic surgical procedure, whether it’s a simple breast augmentation of a complex tummy tuck, is something that every patient should take seriously. During consultations many patients struggle to remember important questions they might have about the procedure, possible outcomes and aftercare. This list of four questions should help cover most of the vital information needed to feel safe and knowledgable about your surgery.

    Is your surgeon qualified and experienced in your chosen procedure?

    In the same way you wouldn’t expect a certified plastic surgeon to perform neurosurgery, you shouldn’t expect an OBGYN to be able to perform a tummy tuck. Only plastic surgeons are qualified and trained with techniques to give the best results possible in cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries, experienced surgeons will have plenty of before and after photos to showcase their hard work and expertise.

    What are common issues patients experience after the procedure?

    There are some common problems that cause patients undue stress following procedures, that would not if www.meaganophotography.comthey were thoroughly explained before undergoing surgery. Ask your doctor what you should expect to see and feel while recovering from surgery and what to look for that could be a more unusual issue.

    What should you expect during recovery?

    Every surgical procedure has a very different recovery process and different things to avoid. How long the recovery period lasts also varies between procedures, breast augmentation patients may begin to feel back to their usual selves in a matter of days while the recovery following a tummy tuck is longer. Following breast augmentation patient avoid carrying heavy objects, arm exercises and reaching for high objects, however after a Brazilian Butt Lift patients must avoid applying and sort of pressure to the buttocks. Some of these directions may seem obvious but it is important to be absolutely clear on any instructions before undergoing surgery.

    What results can you realistically expect from your surgery?

    While any surgeon will do their best to create results that are as close to what the patient desires as possible, there are sometimes physical limitations to how close they can get to achieving this. Either because of the patients safety or simply because there is only so much surgery can achieve. Make sure that before surgery your expectations and desires are in line with your surgeons so that you can have the greatest confidence in the outcome of your procedure.

    It is always important to address any concerns with your doctor, take notes or ask a family member to go with you if you feelthat you may forget key point made during your consultation.

    What is the G Shot?

    First, the G Shot is a simple, pain-free procedure which is performed in the office. Second, the G Shot provides a nice enhancement of the most sensitive spot on the vaginal wall. There are many theories about the location of the “G spot” but experts agree that the G spot is a patch of tissue on the anterior (upper) vaginal wall which is often more prominent than the surrounding tissue. Many of the nerve endings associated with sexual pleasure are concentrated in the clitoris and the G spot. Some women don’t experience much sensation in the G spot while others find it to be a very sensitive area. The G Shot works best in women who already experience heightened sensation in the G spot area. Enhancing the volume and prominence of this area on the vaginal wall improves sensation for both the woman and her partner.

    How does the G Shot work?

    I completely understand that it’s a little intimidating and embarrassing for a patient to talk about these procedures during a consult. Patients have a lot of questions about procedures like the G Shot, or for that matter, anything to do with sexual aesthetics & vaginal rejuvenation, but they’re often afraid to ask. We’ve worked very hard to make this experience as comfortable and un-intimidating as possible. Often for procedures like the G Shot I will schedule the consult and the procedure on the same day. This means just one trip to the doctor! This means just one quick discussion about the procedure and what results the patient is trying to achieve, then a little numbing medicine, a little G Shot, and she’s out the door within the hour! In short, the G Shot is an injection of filler into the G spot.

    Use of Fillers For The G-Shot

    I typically use hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm but I’ve performed a number of G Shots by transferring the patient’s own fat into the G spot area. Both of these fillers (fat and hyaluronic acid, or HA) have their advantages and disadvantages. The hyaluronic acid G Shot is the simplest of in-office enhancements and only takes a few minutes. The patient can easily be in and out of the office in 20-30 minutes and the HA enhancement can last 9 months or longer. A G Shot with HA can also be repeated months later for further sexual enhancement without any risk of scar tissue formation or other side effects. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring component of the human body and the results of an HA G Shot actually improve with time because HA absorbs water causing additional prominence of the G spot.

    Using The Patient’s Own Purified Fat For A G-Shot

    Performing a G Shot with the patient’s fat takes a few extra minutes as compared to HA but the results are excellent. G spot enhancement using the patient’s own fat will also last 9 months or longer and it can be repeated to improve the desired effect. Another advantage of using fat is that it can easily be combined with other procedures. If we are performing liposuction of other areas why not transfer some of the fat to the G spot to improve sexual satisfaction? The G shot only requires a few cc’s of fat (1-5cc) but during a typical fat-harvesting procedure I’ll remove 20-30cc of fat. We call this fat “liquid gold” because it is the patient’s own fat, dense in tissue factors and stem cells, and it can be used to enhance multiple areas of the body including the G spot, the labia majora, and labia minora, facial lines & lips, and it can be used for rejuvenation of the hands.

    To reiterate, the G shot is a simple, short, pain-free, in-office procedure which can be performed on the same day as consultation. Patients will often experience heightened sensation afterward with very few, if any, risks or complications.

    Liposuction is one of the simplest ways to improve the appearance of the jawline and neck and in most cases it can be safely performed under local anesthesia.  The key to neck & chin liposuction is patient selection.  The procedure is perfect for men & women with excess fat in the neck and a blunted jawline.  In these patients I use very small liposuction cannulas to remove fat from the neck and chin area to improve the neck contour & the appearance of the jaw.  If a patient has a significant amount of excess skin, especially loose or droopy neck skin, then neck liposuction should be combined with a full neck lift or facelift.

    As you can see neck liposuction results in a dramatically improved jawline for the patient e giving a younger, slimmer look to the face and gives a boost of confidence to the patient!

    Large, sagging breasts can be the cause of serious back and shoulder pain for many women. Aside from the physical aspects, women can also feel lower self esteem and confidence due to the over-sized or drooping breasts. Breast reduction involves reducing the amount of breast tissue and is usually combined with a lift to reduce any excess skin and sagging that is associated with larger breasts. During the procedure the nipples are relocated to a higher more desirable position and the areolar size is reduced if needed. There are different incisions that may be used during a breast lift procedure that are chosen after consultation with the surgeon. You can see Dr McCluskey explains the differences between these incisions here!

    As you can see the results of a breast reduction are a youthful, lifted appearance. The reduction in size and weight provides relief for back pain and also creates a boost in confidence in many of our patients!

    Breast augmentation is a great way for patients to enhance the female figure and in many cases improve self esteem. This young transgender patient had undergone silicone injections into her breast tissue in the past. Following consultation with Dr McCluskey, the patient chose to undergo a breast augmentation with 550cc silicone breast implants while having Dr McCluskey simultaneously remove any of the old injected silicone and scar tissue. When silicone is injected it is extremely difficult to remove and only a limited amount can be removed with out causing safety risks for the patient. The patient selected a periareolar incision, meaning the incision line is around the nipple. Please watch and leave any comments or questions you may have!

    At the Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta we are lucky to have amazing patients! Here are some kind words from one of them:IMG_1667

    “I had two Rhinoplasty’s done in the past by two different doctors In Florida. Both of which were incorrectly done and the results affected me monetarily and emotionally. After 5 years of being miserable and still unhappy, I heard of Paul by one of his previous patients that I met in a local Atlanta bar. I was amazed at the before and after results on my friend. I then decided to take another chance at it, so in May of 2013 I put my trust in this Doctor and had my 3rd Rhinoplasty. Today I am happy with my results. Finally, I am smiling and feel happier than I have been in a very long time. So that’s my story. I wish he would have been my first Doctor that did my procedure. I would have saved so much money. Regardless, When hiring a Plastic Surgeon, Beware.. In my book, Paul Mccluskey and his staff are the BEST!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!! :)”

    This Week’s Move: The Tricep Dip

    A common complaint that many patients have is that they are unhappy with the size or appearance of their upper arms. The tricep dip, and other moves that exercise the tricep muscle (as seen in the picture) will specifically tone the backs of the arms increasing strength and creating slimmer, leaner looking upper arms.

    This move is incredibly simple and is open to many variations to further test yourself and increase endurance. For example the legs can be bent with feet plants on the ground, straight with heels digging in to the ground, or crossed with one heel digging in to the ground. The key thing to remember with the tricep dip is that it’s just that- a work out for the upper arm, so moving the hips up and down to touch the floor will not exercise the arm. The key is to bend the elbow and then snap back in to a straight arm position, even if this means a small bend in the elbow at first as you improve you will be able to achieve a lower ‘dip’.

    To perform a tricep dip follow the steps below and use Dr McCluskey’s pictures as a reference! This move can be performed using a step or low bench or simply on the floor:

    1. Lean back and place hands directly under shoulders with fingers facing forward.

    photo 1

    2.  With legs either straight out to the front, bent, or crossed, lift your butt off the floor and shift your weight back so that more pressure is on your arms than legs.

    3. Simply bend the elbows lowering your upper body slowly without letting your bum touch the floor.

    4. Then push back to a straight arm position to complete the dip!

    photo 2

    Perform this action twenty times for three sets each day for the next week and see if you can notice an improvement. Changing leg position or using a step to allow a bigger dip will increase the challenge! Controlled and stable movements will help to produce the best results, and don’t forget to check in with us and let us know what you think of this exercise!

    These two very popular procedures have earned themselves fans all over the world and for a good reason! A Tummy Tuck gives a slim, youthful waist that can be so hard to achieve for many especially following pregnancy. A Brazilian Butt Lift adds curves in all the right places while taking away fat from trouble areas. It’s understandable then, that many patients come in wanting to combine the two procedures and achieve hour glass curves in one day ofsurgery, but is it a good idea?

    Liposuction Surgery Atlanta | Lipo Plastic Surgery | Cosmetic Surgeon

    The short answer is: No. While these two procedures together can help to completely transform a woman’s body the recovery for one would inhibit the recovery of the other. Following a Brazilian Butt Lift patients are warned not to sit or lay on their rear for a period of time, which would mean laying on the stomach or standing for long periods of time – two things that would be extremely uncomfortable following a Tummy Tuck.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       tummytuckbrowning

    Not only this but the results will be significantly better if a recovery time is left between them. Dr McCluskey recommends first undergoing the Brazilian Butt Lift and then, after a 6-8 week period, the Tummy Tuck. For two very simple reasons. The first being that it would make no sense to undergo a tummy tuck, then follow with liposuction shortly after, this would mean the best result would not be achieved. Secondly, following the liposuction involved in a Brazilian Butt Lift and the recovery/reduction in swelling in the weeks following, more loose skin will be available to create the most flat, tapered and natural result possible.
