Recently, data was released comparing Ideal breast implants with silicone gel breast implants. Dr. Jeffrey Schreiber, a breast augmentation expert in Baltimore, is happy to share with you the fact that Ideal breast implants offer several advantages over silicone gel breast implants. For example, the capsular contracture (hard scarring) and rupture risks are lower in the Ideal breast implants. Even more, the Ideal breast implants are not associated with the silent rupture that can occur with silicone gel breast implants. Warranties for rupture and capsular contracture are offered for both of the implants, however.

Maryland breast implant patients should know that Ideal breast implants are fantastic, but not for everyone. Silicone gel breast implants are still FDA approved and they do provide a natural look and feel to the breasts after augmentation. Those women with a wider breast or those looking for very large implants (800cc) can still achieve great aesthetic results with silicone gel breast implants. Every patient is unique, and Dr. Schreiber takes this into account during your breast augmentation consultation in his Baltimore, Maryland office.

Whether you choose Ideal breast implants or silicone, know that the procedure takes only about 1-2 hours with only a few days of recovery. Many of Dr. Schreiber’s patients return to work after a few days and only take non-narcotic pain medications after surgery. Dr. Schreiber even allows his patients to shower the very next day since he uses a waterproof dressing after the procedure.

Lipo360 is the newest trend in Baltimore liposuction procedures. Traditional liposuction only focused on 1-3 areas, but Lipo360 concentrates on sculpting a patient in a 360 degree contour to get the best results possible from liposuction. Dr. Jeff Schreiber at the Baltimore Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center is a liposuction expert and his main focus is to provide his patients with the best possible liposuction results safely.

How do I get Lipo360?

First, start by calling Dr. Schreiber’s office to set up a consultation. Then, during your consultation Dr. Schreiber will listen very carefully to your aesthetic desires and perform a thorough evaluation. Next, he will review your photos and those of others who have had liposuction to make the best recommendations for you. Once you have chosen a surgery date, Dr. Schreiber and his nurse will see you again to review the procedure, give you a prescription for an antibiotic and a mild pain medicine, and he even gives his cosmetic surgery patients his cell phone number so you can contact him anytime before or after surgery.

What does Lipo360 involve?

Lipo360 can be done as an outpatient or as a 23 hour stay for those patients who desire a more robust result. During your Lipo360 procedure, Dr. Schreiber will place medicine under the skin to numb the areas and to prevent a lot of bruising. Then, he will perform the liposuction procedure to remove as much fat as possible safely. At the end of the surgery, a compression garment will be placed to mold the skin over your new and improved look.

Lipo360 recovery?

Recovery can take as little as a few days or up to a week depending upon how much liposuction was done. Dr. Schreiber typically allows light cardio exercise to resume at 2 weeks followed by heavy weights at 6 weeks.

All in all, Lipo360 is an amazing way to sculpt your body in a 360 degree fashion with the best liposuction techniques available.

Top 5 Reasons to Consider Vaser Lipo

Have you considered getting liposuction to get rid of stubborn fat or to contour your shape? VASER liposuction is a revolutionary type of liposuction/contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. The technique is becoming popular due to its quick recovery time, and immediate results. If you haven’t heard of VASER, here are the top 5 reasons to consider:

 1.  Less Downtime

VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance – VASER procedures use ultrasound to break down the fat cells. This method ensures that only fat cells are broken down meaning, less tissue    damage, discomfort, and downtime compared to traditional liposuction. Vaser liposuction is less traumatic on the body, allowing the body to heal quicker, show faster results, and get your back to your everyday activities within three to five days.

2.  Precision Sculpting

Traditionally liposuction removes bulk fat; VASER was developed for ‘precision sculpting’. This allows for the removal of both fat layers and ultimately reveals the underlying muscles more distinctly. VASER techniques can create chiseled abs and obliques.

3.  Tightens Skin

With VASER Lipo once the fatty tissue is removed, the skin actually retracts, resulting in a smoother and tighter appearance.

 

4.  Minimal Scarring

The procedure requires a small incision, and the scar is barely noticeable.

 

5.  Best After Maintaining Goal Weight

It is crucial to adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle before addressing the stubborn fat in your trouble areas. If you have recently lost weight or are still in the process, a good rule of thumb is to make sure you can maintain that weight for a few months and then consider refining and reshaping with Lipo.

 

The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for VASER is to schedule a one-on-one consultation. Dr. Jeffrey Schreiber is a renowned, board-certified plastic surgeon based in Baltimore who offers customized procedures to his patients. Both his patients and peers have elected him as a Top Doctor in Baltimore for the last eight years.

An abdominoplasty is one of the most common forms of plastic surgery in Baltimore, but with it comes some questions. Many prospective patients are concerned with the downtime following surgery and the length of the recovery process. Below are some simple tips that, when followed, can help decrease discomfort during recovery and even speed up the process.
After visiting a plastic surgeon in Baltimore for a tummy tuck, you will want to find ways to remain comfortable during everyday activities. This even includes going to the bathroom. Many toilet seats are low which can cause discomfort when squatting. A toilet seat booster will allow you to sit more comfortably following the procedure. Similarly, finding a good sleep position can be more difficult after the procedure. Positioning yourself so your waist is bent and your legs are elevated is typically a preferred way of sleeping after the procedure because it mimics the position you were in during the tummy tuck. As a result, recliners are also great for sitting and resting during the recovery period.
Proper placement and tightness of the abdominal binder is also important when recovering from a tummy tuck. When patients sit upright the binder tends to move up and needs to be pulled down. Before adjusting the binder to pull it down be sure to mark its tightness so you can tighten it properly when it is back in place. Adjusting the binder is easiest when done in bed or elsewhere in a reclining position.
Increase your comfort by using gauze, or even maxi pads. Placing either near the drain or between the binder and hip bone can make your recovery much more comfortable. Compression shorts are also useful in keeping the binder in place, although you will likely have to cut a hole for the drain. Staying bent at the waist also adds comfort, so for the first few days you might want to consider using a cane or walker when moving around the house. This isn’t necessary but can reduce back strain if you are bending at the waist while walking.

As a Baltimore cosmetic surgery specialist, patients routinely ask Dr. Schreiber about thinning hair. Since he does hair transplants in Maryland, Dr. Schreiber is familiar with the best remedies for thinning hair and baldness. When patients are not hair transplant candidates or want to augment their hair transplant results, Dr. Schreiber offers them Viviscal Professional. The dietary supplement has been developed with the finest drug free ingredients of natural origins to nourish hair follicles from within:

1. AminoMar marine complex is created from key marine resources. It is the unique ingredient in Viviscal Professional tablets that promotes existing hair growth.

2. Apple extract Powder (Procyanidin B-2) is an important ingredient that has been shown to augment thin hair to be much thicker.

3. Biotin is a vital part of any diet for optional health hair and nail growth. It helps the body metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids, which are the building blocks of of protein, and thus vital to the formation of the hair structure.

4. Vitamin C guards hair and skin from free radicals.

5. L-Cystine and L-Methionine are essential amino acids in the formation of hair rand skin, offering a positive effect on hair growth.

In a recent clinical study, Viviscal users reported significant improvements in a Quality of Life Questionnaire. They reported improvement in thickness of hair, hair strength, and overall skin health.

How does Viviscal Professional Work?

Viviscal Professional works in 4 ways:

1. Hair follicles take in the nutrients of the supplements.
2. This nourishment then thickens thinning hair.
3. The vital ingredients prevent breakage of thinning hair.
4. Thicker hair then leads to the appearance of a fuller head of hair.

How is Viviscal Professional taken?

Maryland cosmetic surgery expert, Dr. Jeffrey Schreiber, recommends taking Viviscal Professional tablets twice a day for a minimum of six months. Users may see results in as little as three months. Take on tablet in the morning and one table in the evening with water after food. Thereafter, take 1-2 tablets daily as required.

Maryland MiraDry specialist, Dr. Jeffrey Schreiber, has been seeing unbelievable results in his patients who received a MiraDry treatment! MiraDry is the only FDA-cleared device that treats underarm sweating and odor. The procedure is remarkably simple and involves local anesthesia only with no scars, no surgery, and no downtime!

Those who are good candidates include those with:

1. Excessive underarm sweating

2. Annoyance with underarm odor

3. Deodorant stains on their shirts, dresses, or suit jackets

4. Stains on their dress shirts or dresses

Once a patient is deemed an excellent MiraDry candidate, the underarms are prepped for the procedure and local anesthesia is injected underneath the skin slowly to minimize any discomfort.
