How does Lipodissolve work?

When PPC is injected into fat cells, it has a detergent like effect and causes fat cells to rupture and then dissolve. The liver then breaks down this fat and it is excreted by the body. These fat dissolving injections also cause tightening of the skin in the treatment areas. This is an advantage of the technique over liposuction in certain areas. Areas which can be treated by injection lipolysis are: abdomen, back fat rolls, love handles, thighs, knees, neck arms and face.

The PPC used for fat dissolving injections is harvested from the soy plant. PPC has been used in other fields of medicine, usually intravenously, for treating fat embolism in the lungs, for lowering cholesterol levels and as a liver protective substance. PPC injected into fat deposits has a detergent like effect, causing fat cells to rupture and dissolve. Fat released by the cell is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the body.

Submuscular Breast Augmentation

Lisa — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 01:37:31 +0000

During breast augmentation, implants will either be placed under the chest wall (submuscular) or on top of the muscle and under the breast gland (subglandular).

Submuscular placement may provide you with youthful-looking breasts for a longer time, may reduce the chances of your implants being felt through your skin, and it may help reduce the chance of scar tissue hardening around your implants (capsular contracture). It will also make it easier to image your breast during a mammogram.

Is Liposuctioning right for you?

Despite good health and a reasonable level of exercise, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. These areas may be due to family traits rather than a lack of weight control or fitness.

Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours and proportion, and ultimately enhancing your self-image.

Recovering from Breast Augmentation Surgery

Each woman’s recovery is different. In general, you will feel a little sore for several days following your breast augmentation surgery.

The first 24 to 48 hours after your procedure is when you will experience the most discomfort. Your breasts will be swollen and tender.

An important part of recovery involves wearing a bra. This is designed to provide you with extra support while you heal.

Breast augmentation is not only a medical decision, it is a personal one. The perception we have of ourselves defines who we are and how we introduce ourselves to the world.

Not every woman may feel the need for breast augmentation, but for many women it has provided them with a great deal of personal satisfaction, confidence and sense of well-being.

Different Types of Saline Breast Implants

There are two different types of saline breast implants.

Saline-filled breast implants are filled with a saltwater solution similar to the fluid that makes up most of the human body. Each breast implant has a self-sealing valve used to fill the device during your breast augmentation surgery.

Dr. Niessen offers a variety of textures, sizes and shapes to provide you the greatest flexibility toward achieving breast enhancement goals. There are two types of Saline-Filled Breast Implants to choose from when you are considering breast augmentation: Round and Contour or teardrop shape.

Meet with Dr. Niessen to discuss which breast implant would be best for you.

Do you need a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgery performed on the breasts to lift and reshape breasts that sag. Factors such as nursing, pregnancy and gravity over time, change the appearance of the breasts. As women age, the elasticity of the skin becomes more loose and saggy. Women will lose that firmness and shape they once had. The small scars that are left behind by mastopexy can easily be covered by a bathing suit or bra.

Speak with Dr. Niessen and see if a breast lift is right for you.
