Breast Augmentation – A Comprehensive Guide by the Trusted Plastic Surgeons of Baltimore

March 10, 2016Jeffrey Schreiber, MD

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure which restores or increases the breast size by using saline implants, silicone gel implants, or in certain cases, lipid transfer. Breast augmentation has a spectacular record in providing satisfactory results to women who want to enhance or regain their perfect breasts’ shape and size.

Suitable Candidates for Breast Augmentation

baltimore-plastic-and-cosmetic-surgery-center-breast-augmentation

The expert plastic surgeons of Baltimore believe that the following candidates are most suitable to opt for the procedure of breast augmentation.

  • If your breasts are way too small for your body
  • Your breasts have sagged or became smaller after childbearing
  • Your breasts have lost volume due to weight loss
  • Your breasts aren’t leveled

 
 

Procedure of Breast Augmentation

When implants are used for breast augmentation, the cosmetic surgeon makes a precise incision, lifts up the tissues of your breast, creates a small pocket in your breast area, and applies an implant in that pocket.

Another method of breast augmentation is autologous lipid or fat transfer. In this process, your own fat is removed by liposuction, from a part of your body which carries sufficient amount of fat, such as your thighs, abdomen or flanks. The yielded fat is processed and then it’s injected into your breasts.

Your surgeon’s recommendations and your anatomy will determine the positioning of your breast implants. Your breast implants are placed in a pocket in either of the following areas:

  • Underneath your pectoral muscle. The pectoral muscle is present between the chest wall and the breast tissue.
  • Under your breast tissues and just on top of your pectoral muscle.

Different Types of Breast Implants

There are three types of breast implants available nowadays. Your surgeon will recommend one depending upon your body shape, medical history, and aesthetic aims.

Saline-Filled Breast Implants

These breast implants are filled with saline solution (salt water). They can be filled before surgery at a pre-established size or filled right at the time of the surgical procedure in order to allow minor changes in the size of the implant.

Silicone-Filled Breast Implants

These implants are filled with high-quality elastic gel. These implants are available in variable shapes and sizes. All silicone implants are pre-filled. Usually, a longer incision is required for the placement of silicone implants.

Cohesive Gel Silicone Implants

These implants are also called ‘form stable’ or ‘gummy bear’ implants. They are filled with a soft, cohesive gel which is made up of cross-linked silicone molecules. This makes these implants firmer and thicker as compared to conventional silicone implants. Due to this reason, these implants show better results and have great aesthetic appeal.

Baltimore cosmetic surgery is quite popular for expert application of all these breast implants, owing to its superlative facility and highly trained cosmetic surgeons.
Your cosmetic surgeon can combine any of these options of breast augmentation with a breast lift surgery if there’s any drooping or sagging of your breasts. An abdominoplasty or tummy tuck procedure can also be performed with breast augmentation for flattening of your abdomen. Tummy tuck in Baltimore, MD, is highly safe and reliable as well.

It’s important to remember that although breast implants are intended to last a lifetime, sometimes they might need to be replaced. After a successful breast augmentation surgery, periodic examination by an authentic, board-certified cosmetic surgeon is necessary in order to monitor the functioning of your implants.

When Diet and Exercise are NOT Enough, Get a Mommy Makeover

March 9, 2016Jeffrey Schreiber, MD

Baltimore-Plastic-and-Cosmetic-Surgery-Center-Mommy-Makeovers

New mothers will benefit from visiting a plastic surgeon in Baltimore. Childbirth can be hard on a woman’s body and so can the months of breastfeeding and sleepless nights spent taking care of the baby. Those who have experienced these changes after having children can opt for ‘mommy makeovers’ that can tone their body back to more or less its pre-pregnancy shape. A tummy tuck in Baltimore for instance can do wonders for the figure. The procedure comprises of a number of cosmetic plastic surgery treatments which include the following:

Breast Lift

Also known as a Mastopexy, a breast lift reshapes sagging breasts and brings them back to their original position. There are a number of factors involved in this such as the shape, volume, as well as the connective tissue of the breast itself. A breast lift in Baltimore is performed by making alterations in either of these or all of them. For instance, the procedure can be used to remove excess skin, re-align the nipples, and even to raise the tissue and the skin surrounding the breasts.

Breast Augmentation

Also known as breast enlargement surgery, breast augmentation is performed to increase breast size via saline or silicone implants. There are several other types available in the industry so the charges of the procedure may vary. Before determining the type of implants, a patient needs a plastic surgeon to determine her body type and the desired cup shape. A good plastic surgeon will promise realistic results and help the patient choose a shape and size that can complement her height and frame.

Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction surgery can reduce the size of heavy and large breasts and make them shapely or more proportionate. It can also reduce the chances of other health issues from occurring such as back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, poor posture, breathing issues, creases below the breasts etc.

Tummy Tuck

Also known as an abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck can benefit a woman who experiences multiple pregnancies or extreme weight loss post pregnancy. The procedure trims excess fat around the stomach and it can also be used to tighten sagging skin around problem areas to make the stomach look flatter. However, patients who have excess fat but not sagging skin can benefit more from liposuction to acquire an attractive physique. In fact, an abdominoplasty is also beneficial for those who cannot get rid of excess fat around their waistline despite regular exercise.

Liposuction

Liposuction is used to improve areas of the body that have excess fat which is visible. The fat is removed using via suction but some surgeons can also use Ultrasound liposuction or LipoSelection. A good plastic surgeon will inform the patient about all available options and recommend a suitable one.

Patients in search of revolutionary and safe plastic surgery for their ‘mommy makeovers’ in Baltimore will not be disappointed with Dr Jeffrey E. Schreiber’s Baltimore Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center. He is considered to be the go-to plastic surgeon in Baltimore.

A Top Plastic Surgeon in Baltimore Talks About the Rise of Cosmetic Surgery Demand in Men

February 26, 2016Jeffrey Schreiber, MD

As more people become critical of their image each day, the rise on cosmetic surgery demand ensues. It is important to realize that plastic surgery is now no longer just for women. In the recent years, there has also been a noticeably increased demand in cosmetic work from men. Dr. Jeffrey Schreiber, a board-certified plastic surgeon from Baltimore and an ASPS member, provides insight on why more men are now requesting surgeries and the common types of procedures performed.

Why Are More Men Seeking Plastic Surgery?

Baltimore Plastic Surgery Center Services

The reason behind the increased rate of interest in cosmetic surgery with men varies. Pressure in the workplace is a major factor. The perception at work is that youthful means fresh, energetic and cutting-edge. So older men in business try to stay competitive with their younger colleagues by maintaining a youthful appearance.

There are some who find themselves back in the dating game after a divorce and are trying to regain their confidence by achieving a younger look. Although a number of patients tend to fall under the forties or fifties age range, there is also a growing trend of millennial males requesting for procedures, such as Botox. In any case, these men see cosmetic treatments as a ticket to living life to the fullest.

Most Common Cosmetic Surgery Procedures for Men

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Rejuvenation)

As men age, their upper and lower eyelids tend to sag and get heavier, and giving the appearance of being tired or sleepy. The procedure involves tightening of the skin and muscles around the eye area to achieve a fresher and more energetic demeanor. Having a vibrant aura is especially important for professional men in the workforce.

Liposuction

The term “dad bod” has recently gone viral, which pertains to a flabby characteristic that most middle aged men have. Excess fat around the abdomen can be very difficult to get rid of in men. Liposuction basically sculpts their abdominal area to a more attractive proportion by removing localized fat deposits in the mid-section. In cases where liposuction doesn’t do the job, a tummy tuck may be recommended. Ask a trusted doctor in Baltimore, MD about your options.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Rhinoplasty is a procedure that corrects the shape, placement (and sometimes the function) of the nose to appear proportioned to the rest of the face. Most men have engaged in contact sport in their youth and may have suffered an injury and need Rhinplasty to correct that.

Final Word

Cosmetic surgery with men has now become commonplace that there is no longer a stigma surrounding it. If you’d like to know more about your options, schedule a consultation with a Baltimore cosmetic surgery provider for a thorough evaluation.

COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY WITH MICRO-NEEDLING

February 23, 2016Jeffrey Schreiber, MD

collagen-induction-therapyBaltimore cosmetic surgery patients will be pleased to know that collagen induction therapy is an excellent way to perform rejuvenation of the skin of the face and also the entire body. It is different than CO2 laser therapy as the patients do not have to go to sleep for this. It can be done right in the office with topical anesthesia only. It does preserve the dermis. This can eventually preserve the epidermis, which avoids thinning of the skin. It does go through the epidermis to get to the dermis. The collagen induction therapy does puncture the epidermis with little needles in the hand-held device, produces minimal damage to the epidermis and does preserve it as much as possible. However, it does stimulate the dermis to undergo the wound healing cascade, which provides all of the benefits.

Furthermore, on histologic section you can see that the needle tracks from the CIT hand piece, goes through the epidermis into the papillary dermis and then a little bit into the reticular dermis, which does preserve the epidermis unlike carbon dioxide laser therapy, which gets rid of the entire dermis. This injury into the dermis does cause injury, which stimulates the skin to undergo the wound‑healing cascade causing releasing of growth factors and fibroblast proliferation. This is important for the collagen production.

The phase 2 is the tissue proliferation, which does involve fibroblast proliferation and deposition of collagen. The initial wound healing takes 15 minutes to several days, the phase 2 is about five days to eight weeks and phase 3 can take eight weeks to a year to year and a half and phase 3 does involve fibroplasia and tissue remodeling and vascular maturation where the type 3 collagen converts to type 1 collagen causing skin tightening. Histologic study also shows that after six months from percutaneous collagen induction therapy, you do see approximately 400% increase in collagen and elastin. This is documented in a well written paper by Fernandes in Oromaxillary and Facial Surgical Clinics of North America.

Collagen induction therapy is excellent for fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, tightening the skin after liposuction, stretch marks, scars, and hypertrophic burn scars. Collagen induction therapy your Baltimore plastic surgery expert can be combined with surgery for optimal results or it can be used alone for those not willing to have surgery. That is excellent for the entire body including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. The fine lines between the breasts as well as the upper lip creases called the vertical lip lines or the smoker’s lines. For the technique of the collagen induction therapy the skin should be needled as densely as possible. The needles penetrate about 1.5-2 mm into the dermis. The skin then develops multiple micro bruises, which initiates the wound-healing cascade causing the outstanding release of growth factors that eventually leads to collagen production.

The patients can have a red and bruised look. It is important to shower and let the water wash off all the blood and ooze after the procedure. The procedure can be repeated a month later and best results are obtained by repeating the procedure three to four times. The results can last for several years depending on skin quality and maintenance of the skin, it is very important to use a vitamin A in the form of retinoic acid and vitamin C. It is also wonderful that any skin type and color can be treated with collagen induction therapy.

For contraindications, people who have not pretreated their skin with vitamin A should not do collagen induction therapy. It is not approved for patients that have active skin cancers, warts, solar keratoses or skin infection. It is also not good for those patients that have active acne or cold sores or on any blood thinners. If you are in chemotherapy or high doses of steroids it is also not good. If you have diabetes, it needs to be well controlled and again caution should be used in patients that form keloids. The results for Baltimore plastic surgery patients can be outstanding in the vertical lines, the upper lips, skin tightening of the arms, and even of the abdominal area.

Plastic surgeons in Baltimore are well-versed in all of the techniques that can improve your look. Whether you are looking for a breast lift in Baltimore or a tummy tuck in Baltimore, MD, our office will be happy to talk to you and give options.

double-chins-problems

Our staff at Baltimore Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center would love to help you improve yourself. Dr. Jeffrey Schreiber is an amazing surgeon with skilled hands and a desire to create beauty. His attention to detail and his personal involvement in your process from the beginning to the end is the reason you want him for your own. The fact that he is highly qualified and well-renowned in the field is also a reason to consider him over the others.

All of us have problem areas that concern us and cause us to wish for a change. One concern for many individuals is a double chin. This can make you look much older and heftier than you may actually be. Gravity takes its toll on our bodies and starts to cause skin to sag. Luckily, there are procedures that can help you improve this area and return to your youthful look. The procedures have evolved over the years and can be performed in an out-patient manner. This makes the process easier and less obvious to those around you that you have had work done.

Kybella is a new treatment option available that can truly reverse the signs of a double chin. The procedure is FDA approved and is non-surgical. The procedure uses an injectable medicine that dissolves fat under the chin over several months. There are no surgeries, scars, or downtime associated with this procedure. The neck area is anesthetized with lidocaine and injections are made in the neck fat area under the chin. The procedure only takes 20 minutes and the most common side effect is swelling in the injection area. It may take a few treatments to truly reverse the look of a double chin, most people see results in 3 treatments.

Dr. Schreiber will meet with you and discuss the issues and concerns you have with your chin. He will assess whether Kybella is the right procedure for you or whether a neck lift is necessary. The amount of excess skin and fat will play a role in the level of procedure required. He will discuss all the options available to you and determine your level of comfort in the procedures that will work.

Plastic surgery is a great option for many conditions, but sometimes there are easier and less-invasive ways to improve your face and body. If the option is viable, your plastic surgeon will attempt the lesser of the invasive procedures to get the results you desire. Your plastic surgeon in Baltimore is ready to create a masterpiece, they just need you to begin.

Virtually painless laser hair removal!

December 2, 2015Jeffrey Schreiber, MD

hdr-laser-hair-removal1Baltimore laser hair removal patients all have unwanted and unslightly hair. It could be on your neck, back, upper lip, chin, arms, armpits, and bikini areas. Previous hair removal techniques like the old lasers and electrolysis can be painful and expensive. There is a new laser called the LightSheer Duet that is virtually painless, gives amazing results, and is very affordable. At the Baltimore Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center, we now have this amazing new laser. Dr. Schreiber himself gets his neck and back done and he loves it! Men in particular love the laser because it’s virtually painless, gives great results, and is fast so that large areas, like the back and chest, can be treated quickly. There is no downtime and you can even exercise the day of the treatment. Laser hair removal is not a permanent removal of very single hair follicle. Rather, it is a permanent hair reduction. Even more, winter is the best time to get laser hair removal with the LightSheer Duet because you cannot get it done if you have a tan. The treatments are usually about 4-6 weeks apart depending upon the areas that you want treated.

Laser hair removal can enhance the results of other cosmetic surgery procedures. For example, tummy tucks are great for removing excess belly skin. However, unsightly hair in the pubic area can take away from the aesthetic results of the tummy tuck. Laser hair removal can treat this so that there is no worry about hair showing through a bathing suit! Even more, a facelift is great for rejuvenating the face and giving patients a more youthful look. Again, unwanted hair along the chin and upper lip in women can decrease the aesthetics of the facelift. With laser hair removal of the chin and upper lip this not a problem anymore.

Call (410) 205-1846 or request an appointment online.

Get rid of your double-chin without surgery!

Announcing the newest product at the Baltimore Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center…Kybella! This is the latest FDA approved non-surgical treatment for neck fat or the “double-chin.” Kybella is a medicine that is carefully injected into the fat underneath the chin and slowly dissolves the fat over several months. Treatments are done right in the office and involve no surgery, no scars, minimal discomfort, and no downtime! The neck area is anesthetized with lidocaine and then the Kybella is gently injected into the fat at several points underneath the chin. The procedure takes about 20 minutes and the most common side effect is swelling that resolves over the next 1-2 days. Studies have shown that up to 6 treatments may be needed for full correction, but most patients saw excellent results after 3 treatments.

A consultation is required before the Kybella treatment since not everyone is a candidate. If excess skin is present then a necklift might be the best procedure for you. Dr. Schreiber is currently offering a package deal for Kybella, so call (410) 902-9800 to schedule your appointment or you can request an appointment online.

Cosmetic Procedures for Hair Loss

Winter is a great time to get a facelift!

November 4, 2015Jeffrey Schreiber, MD

Thinking about getting a facelift, but worried about finding downtime? Winter is a great time to get a facelift because of the holidays and the ability to hang out at home because of the cold weather…and possibly snow! Dr. Schreiber performs many facelifts during this time because it is very easy to explain being home for 5-7 days while recovering from a facelift. The downtime is good for healing and to allow the bruising and swelling to go away. However, when Dr. Schreiber does a facelift he allows his patients to shower and wash their hair and face days after surgery!

As a Baltimore facelift specialist, Dr. Schreiber specializes in avoiding the “pulled too tight” look while giving his patients a more refreshed, younger appearing face. He includes a necklift with his facelifts so the entire face below the eyes is fully rejuvenated. If the eyelids also have excess skin and bags, Dr. Schreiber can perform an eyelid lift at the same time. Browlifts and fat grafting are other amazing procedures that can add even more to full face rejuvenation.

Dr. Schreiber performs his facelifts in the comfort and safety of a hospital. With a board certified anesthesiologist and a team of cosmetic surgery nurses and staff, Dr. Schreiber believes in “safety first” when it comes to facelifts. The procedure can last from 4-7 hours depending upon the amount of work that needs to be done to achieve the patient’s aesthetic goals.

Discomfort is minimized to almost nothing by Dr. Schreiber with the use of local anesthetics during the procedure and oral pain medications afterward. In fact, the majority of Dr. Schreiber’s facelift patients only take ibuprofen or Tylenol after surgery. Exercise can resume at 1-2 weeks with intense weightlifting at 6 weeks. Make-up can be applied as early as 5-7 days in most cases.

When it comes to facelift, women are not the only ones who get them. As the recent author of a blog on the “Daddy Do-over”, Dr. Schreiber has performed many facelifts on men, too! These days, men find themselves competing with the younger generations in the workplace. They are also seeking to find a younger partner and facelift can help out in these cases.

With the winter coming, it’s time to schedule your consultation with Dr. Schreiber to see if now is the time to get a facelift! Call (410) 902-9800 or fill out the Appointment Request link on the side of this page.
