Free Birmingham Spa Event: Learn About Vaginal Health & Intimacy

Join us on Thursday November 15th for appetizers and refreshments, as we talk about women’s intimate health and what we can do to help improve this important area of your life.

Vaginal health is essential for every woman’s quality of life!  But as our bodies change – due to childbirth, age, and hormonal fluctuations -“issues” can occur. Embarrassing bladder leaks and frustrating loss of sexual sensation can have a profoundly negative impact on any woman’s enjoyment of life.

Unfortunately, these pressing health issues are not frequently discussed due to their personal nature. But the great news is that there are now non-invasive, non-surgical treatments that can eliminate troublesome incontinence or loss of intimacy!

Should I Tell People I’ve Had Breast Implant Surgery?

Should I Tell People I’ve Had Breast Implant Surgery?

There used to be a time when a breast augmentation was hidden and even lied about. But today people are becoming more and more open about breast implant surgery. The decision of whether you should “admit” to having had a “boob job” is a very personal  one – and entirely up to you.

For years, any plastic surgery had a negative stigma associated with it. But that’s not the case any longer. Statistics show that the number of Americans seeking out cosmetic procedures continues to increase by record numbers. In 2014 alone, Americans spent more than $12 billion on plastic surgery, according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

More people are realizing that there shouldn’t be any shame or embarrassment associated with having work done. For years, people, especially those in Hollywood, tried to hide their visits to their plastic surgeon’s office. However, even celebrities no longer think it is necessary to convince people they were just “born beautiful”.

Adorable actresses Anna Faris (Mother; House Bunny), Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory) and Naya Rivera (Glee) have all become outspoken advocates for the benefits of breast implants. See what these celebrities, and others, are saying HERE.

Why People Hide Breast Implant Surgery

Most people don’t realize that plastic surgery has been around for quite some time. In fact, ancient Egyptians are said to attempted surgical reshaping of the nose! The first recorded breast augmentation was actually performed in the late 1890s. By 1934 the first formal training program in the United States was established at Johns Hopkins. And movie stars were visiting the surgeon’s office as early as Hollywood’s golden age in the 1930s and 40s.

Perhaps because early plastic surgery techniques were not perfected like they are today, breast implants and other cosmetic surgery originally had a negative image. In the early days, breasts implants were often “overdone” – leaving the patient looking “artificial.” Today, that is no longer the case.

In 2014, Americans had a total of 15.6 million cosmetic procedures, both minimally-invasive and surgical. The demand for plastic surgery continues to grow as we see great strides in technology and techniquess. This creates more options for patients looking to improve themselves.

Being Open About Breast Implant Surgery

While breast implants and other procedures can make you look younger, trying to recapture one’s youth is not necessarily the reason for cosmetic surgery any more. When asked why they opted for surgery, many women state they have a desire to look more refreshed, and to look on the outside the way they feel on the inside.

Plastic surgery has advanced so much that we can accomplish beautiful and natural looking results, without it even really looking as if you’ve had work done!  Plastic surgeons can help people achieve a healthier, more refreshed look that will often leave people wondering if they had surgery, or if they’ve just been exercising, eating right and taking better care of themselves.

So it is perfectly possible to conceal the fact that you have had cosmetic or breast surgery, if you so desire.

Troy area double board certified plastic surgeon says: “I tell my patients all the time that plastic surgery should be done for one person and one person only – themselves.” He continues, “It is such a joy to watch someone become truly happy once again after a procedure. If you hate looking in the mirror every day, your life will begin to suffer. And there is simply no reason why that should be! Thankfully the stigma associated with plastic surgery is falling away.”

The people in your life who love you, care about you, and want you to be happy will have no reservations about your breast implants, when they see how happy they make you. While there will always be “nay sayers” (as well as some who will be jealous of how good you look), the people who matter will be happy because you are happy!

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery (Part Two)

Are massages necessary after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Birmingham double board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali may recommend lymphatic drainage massage for you following your Brazilian Butt Lift, as it can significantly help decrease bruising and swelling.

Depending on the status of your recovery, the blood flow after the Brazilian Butt Lift, and other personal recovery factors, Dr. Ali may also recommend massage a few weeks after your procedure.

What are the possible side effects and complications of a Brazilian Butt Lift?

When performed by an experienced Birmingham double board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali, the Brazilian butt lift procedure has a very high success rate, with rare complications. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, it is not without some risk.

Following your post procedure aftercare instructions will greatly minimize the possibility of any risks or complications.

Common side effects after a Brazilian Butt Lift include bruising, swelling, and some pain or discomfort. Dr. Ali will provide you with a prescription for medication to manage any pain.

Irregular contour, asymmetry, infection, and loss of fat due to not following post-op instructions are rare but possible side effects.

When Will I See Results from My Brazilian Butt Lift?

Most of the obvious swelling will subside in about two to four weeks after the procedure. Approximately 3 months after Brazilian Butt Lift most patients begin to see their final results.

In some cases, it may initially appear that you are wider across your back and stomach because of the swelling and fluid that may still be draining from the liposuction. Do not worry or feel discouraged! This is normal, and as the swelling begins to subside your proportions will become shapelier.

Plastic Surgery – Erasing the Stigma

Bloomfield Hills, MI – There used to be a time when a visit to the office of a plastic surgeon was hidden and even lied about. For years, plastic surgery had a negative stigma associated with it. But that’s not the case any longer, as statistics show that the number of Americans seeking out cosmetic procedures continues to increase.

“In 2014 alone, Americans spent more than $12 billion on plastic surgery, according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons,” says Dr. Ali. “Not only that, the number of male plastic surgery procedures increased nearly 43 percent. More people are realizing that there shouldn’t be any shame or embarrassment associated with having work done.”

Plastic surgery has been around for quite some time. In fact, ancient Egyptians are said to have played around with reshaping the nose, and in the 1700s British physicians visiting India brought back techniques that would lead to the modern day nose job. The first recorded breast augmentation was performed in 1895, and the first breast implant materials were used in 1899. The first formal training program in the United States was established at Johns Hopkins in 1924. And Hollywood stars were visiting the surgeon’s office as early as Hollywood’s golden age in the 1930s and 40s.

For years, people, especially those in Hollywood, tried to hide their visits to their surgeon’s offices, though.

“For some reason, in the earlier days, and even until rather recently, plastic surgery has carried a negative image,” says Dr. Ali. “While it can certainly be overdone, most people who get plastic surgery procedures are doing it to improve their lives. Certified and trained plastic surgeons work hard to better the lives of our patients.”

In 2014, Americans had a total of 15.6 million procedures, both minimally-invasive and surgical. The demand for plastic surgery continues to grow as we see great strides in technology and procedures. This creates more options for patients looking to improve themselves.

And for those who think people who turn to plastic surgery are simply trying to recapture their youth, that’s not necessarily the case. When asked why they opted for surgery, many women often state they have a desire to look more refreshed and to look on the outside the way they feel on the inside. That doesn’t necessarily mean looking like a 25 year old again.

“Plastic surgery has advanced so much that we can accomplish beautiful and natural looking results, without it even really looking as if you’ve had work done,” says Dr. Ali. “Years ago, it was much more obvious to tell who had visited a surgeon. But today, we can help you achieve a more refreshed look that will often leave people wondering if you had surgery, or if you’ve just been taking better care of yourself.”

And this, perhaps, is why we are seeing the number of procedures performed continuing to increase. When your best friend suddenly has a relaxed, glowing look and seems to be enjoying life more than ever, it can be hard not to want the same thing for yourself.

“I tell my patients all the time that plastic surgery should be done for one person and one person only – themselves,” says Dr. Ali. “It is such a joy to watch someone become truly happy once again after a procedure. If you hate looking in the mirror every day, your life will begin to suffer. And there is simply no reason why that should be, and I love seeing that the stigma associated with my work is falling away.”

Can You Get Liposuction On Your Face?

Liposuction is a procedure used to help slim and shape areas of the body by directly removing excess fat. It is often performed on various areas of the torso and even limbs, but what many people don’t know is that liposuction can also be performed on parts of the face!

There are three areas of the face where liposuction can be performed: the cheeks, chin and face. Liposuction on the cheeks and chin is done to help lift the cheeks and create a slimmer face. It can also reduce fat around the neck area to improve contours and proportion around your neck.

Liposuction on the face is typically performed in conjunction with other procedures. A neck lift is one of the most popular procedures because aging can cause fatty deposits and sagginess in the neck. The main purpose of a neck lift is to enhance the definition of the neck. It serves to correct loose skin in the neck, remove excess fat and tighten the stretched neck muscle. Your surgeon will determine if liposuction will be necessary during your consultation, prior to surgery.

A face lift is a similar procedure used to improve the appearance of facial skin. The skin is surgically lifted and tightened and many times liposuction is employed to get rid of excess fat in the cheeks and skin.

It’s important to seek advice from a professional before undergoing any kind of cosmetic surgery. A good plastic surgeon will be able to offer advice and information in order to help you make an informed decision.

If you’re considering cosmetic surgery of any kind or would like to learn more about our surgical and non-surgical procedures, contact us today. We look forward to speaking with you.

Permanent Makeup – Eyebrows as an Accessory

We have seen a number of articles on the internet floating around touting the importance of well-groomed eyebrows. There are before and after pictures, how-to articles, and more. We have to agree – eyebrows really are the accessory of your face.

While we agree, we also know that the majority of us were not gifted with perfectly shaped brows, and that they take a lot of maintenance to keep looking fabulous. Whether it’s a trip to the salon to have them waxed or threaded, penciling for fullness or using a brow gel to keep them in their place, it is always something!

One option that we discovered is a great alternative to penciling is getting permanent makeup done where you would normally fill them in. Permanent makeup may sound like a serious commitment, but when you think about how much time, money and energy you could save it seems like a much more reasonable option.

Did you know that Amae Plastic Surgery specializes in permanent make up application? We can consult with you on the best shape, color and volume for your eyebrows, as well as provide guidance on the procedure. Our clients who make this choice are always pleased and often come back for additional make up applications in other areas!

Contact us today to set up a consultation and find out how you can banish bad brows forever!

Can Natural Eyelashes Be Made Longer or Thicker?

Have you ever caught yourself admiring someone’s beautiful eyelashes, thinking “I wish mine would grow like that?” or “How on Earth are they so long, yet so natural?”  If you answered yes, you are not alone!  When clients come into our office, they are often surprised to learn that there is an option, beyond eyelash extensions, that helps your lashes grow naturally over the course of time.  Dr. Ali is proud to offer the Latisse product to his clients.

So what is Latisse?  Latisse is a prescription formula that was created to address the condition hypotrichosis, which is short/inadequate eyelashes, which many of us suffer from.  The formula allows for the natural growth of eyelashes over the course of the 16 week cycle.  The lashes grow gradually during this time.  At the end of the cycle you will go in for a consultation to determine if further treatment is needed.

One of the benefits of Latisse is that the upkeep that is required with eyelash extensions is non-existent. That means no special oils, fills or behavior is required!  All that is required is a daily application and patience!  Many of our clients have seen exceptional results from Latisse and use it in conjunction with other services and products.

Contact Dr. Ali’s office to find out more about Latisse and our other fabulous beauty solutions!

What’s the Ideal Age for a Facelift?

With age, nearly everyone’s face develops cheek folds and loose skin around the neck. Many men and women alike choose to have a facelift because it removes loose skin and tightens the tissue around the facial muscles, resulting in a younger and rejuvenated appearance.

But when is the ideal age to have this procedure?

While a majority of facelifts are performed on people between the ages of 40 and 60, there is no “right” age. The want or need for this procedure arises from personal opinions of one’s self and having developed physical characteristics that can in fact be corrected by a facelift procedure. We’ve seen patients well into their 60’s or 70’s with minimal wrinkles and great facial features that do not even have a need for correction. Everyone is different.

As always, it’s best to first consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon before making a decision on which procedure is best for you. There are a number of non-surgical options available today, such as liquid facelift procedures, to correct or improve various conditions of the face; surgery isn’t always the only option for achieving desired results.

After a professional consultation, if it is determined that a surgical facelift is the best option, the operation will usually take three to five hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.

Incisions are typically hidden within natural contours of the face such as the area around the ears and discrete areas beneath the chin. After three weeks, gradual resumption of any athletic or physical activity is allowed.

To learn more about facelift procedures, or various non-surgical procedures, contact us today. We look forward to speaking with you.
