10 Tips for Better Breast Health

10 Tips for Better Breast Health

For Breast Cancer Awareness month, we want to focus on various ways to improve breast health. Below are our top tips to ensure you are taking care of your breasts all year round.

1. Perform self-breast exams

A self-breast exam is a simple step-by-step approach to check the health of your breast’s tissue. Though easy, this is often neglected by both men and women to screen for cancer. By lifting your right arm over your head, use the left hand to massage the breast gently feeling for any lumps and bumps. Every person’s normal is different, but on average the tissue should feel like lumpy oatmeal. If anything, larger is detected, seek out a medical professional for a second opinion. They can also help you identify what should feel healthy for you.

2. Wear a bra that fits

Most women don’t wear the correct bra size. Wearing the right bra size will reduce pressure around the rib cage from the bra’s underwire. It will also reduce the pressure on the surrounding muscles and tissue, which can cause them to stretch or sometimes snap.

Your sports bra should also provide the best support it can for any exercise you do. This is essential in maintaining your breast’s overall health. The weight of the breasts moving while running, walking, or lifting is significant. To reduce sagging breast tissue, make sure you are wearing a highly supportive sports bra when participating in any running or HIIT exercise.

3. Maintain a healthy weight

Speaking of exercise, maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for the overall health of the body. Physical activity gets the blood moving and increases the flow of the Lymphatic system.  By doing this, the body flushes unnecessary toxins that could cause cysts. Fortunately, you don’t have to start taking up running or other high-intensity training to reap the benefits. Daily walks and yoga get the heart rate up enough to see benefits.

4. Stop smoking

Smoking is bad for all over health and is often seen as the root cause for many health related issues.

5. Sleep well

A good night’s sleep is important to reduce stress. Most people don’t think about stress and health, but it is very damaging to the body. Make sure to remove your bra before bedtime and allow your breasts time to rest too. 

6. Reduce fat intake

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables provide the body with nourishing nutrients for optimal health.

7. Supplement with vitamins

Vitamin D is well known for its contribution to great breast health. You can also take Omega 3 and Turmeric to increase health naturally.

8. Indulge in chocolate

We prefer the raw cacao, which is packed full of nutrients that are great for the body and breast health. Understandably, cacao can be quite bitter, so we recommend choosing at least 60% dark chocolate.

9. Reduce alcohol consumption

Alcohol is considered a macronutrient, which means it only supplies energy to the body. Some studies have shown women who drink alcohol are 1.5 times more likely to develop breast cancer.

10. Never skip your annual screening

Included with every pap-smear is a breast exam. Neither should be forgotten or avoided if you want to take your health seriously!

Breast Reconstruction Surgery After a Mastectomy

Posted on September 7, 2017 - Breast Implants

Breast Reconstruction Surgery After a Mastectomy

For woman who have undergone a mastectomy, breast reconstruction surgery is a great option to restore the shape or rebuild the breast altogether. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s take a closer look at all the options available.

Breast implants and a mastectomy:

First, we should mention that anyone having reconstructive breast surgery does not need to worry about time limitations. Whether as part of treatment for cancer or as a preventative measure, reconstructive surgery can happen at any stage during the mastectomy or after. Even several years after.

Below we list several options to consider based on your personal taste and budget.

Implant types to consider for breast reconstruction:

Implants come in two shapes: round and teardrop. Each shape gives a different look, so it is important to choose what looks best on your figure.

Round:

Round is quite an attractive shape, and the implant looks like a flat disc. What’s great about the round implant is the variety of options available to achieve different projections (the distance from the chest wall in profile). Round implants are optimal for overall volume, filling out the top of the breast, and getting better cleavage. Because of their symmetry, you won’t have to worry about implant rotation. However, some may feel the result might look more artificial.

Teardrop:

The second option is the teardrop shape, which closely mimics the natural shape of the breast. This option, though it holds less filler at the top, actually delivers the most projection, as the bulk of its volume sits at the bottom of the implant. Teardrop implants can also be pricier than the round. The texturized implants reduce the risk of movement or rotation and therefore cost a bit more. This is something to consider if your budget plays a factor in your final decision. However, if you want to go larger with less risk of looking “done,” the teardrop shape is for you.

How to choose a cup size:

Because everyone’s shape is different, individual cup sizes will look different on each body. It’s best when researching to focus on the overall look rather than the actual cup. For some leaner frames, a DD might be too big and in the end not have enough breast tissue to accommodate such a jump in scale. A larger framed woman, however, who wants the same DD might find that this cup size doesn’t yield the desired projection and might find a more generous cup works better. In reality, size is relative, and it’s best to discuss with your doctor what your visions are so they can help you achieve the most suitable option for you.

Saline and silicone implants? Pros and Cons:

Silicone Implants

  • Natural look

Best Procedures to Reduce the Signs of Aging

Best Procedures to Reduce the Signs of Aging

 

Reduce Signs of Aging

The easiest way is to start drinking plenty of water and make sure to apply sun screen and moisturizer daily. However, even with meticulous care, frown lines and wrinkles will happen. Because September is National Healthy Aging Month, we want to share with you the best procedures to reduce the signs of aging.

Botox

Botox is widely known for its use to reduce the signs of aging. With a few quick injections, deep lines between brows, crow’s feet, and laugh lines are all reduced in appearance.

Botox works by using Botulinum toxins, which are injected directly into the facial muscle to restrict muscle movement. Deeply etched lines in the face, often created by intense concentration or constant furrowing, will smooth out with regular use. Regular Botox treatments mean preventing new creases from forming while smoothing out the appearance of what you already have.

Injectables

Fillers differ from Botox because they are injected into the contours of your face, not to paralyze, but to add volume or plump specific areas.

Made with hyaluronic acid fillers smooth out wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body naturally produces to keep skin plump and hydrated. Since it already occurs in the body, these fillers are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. The filler itself has a gel-like consistency that is injected into the skin to smooth fine lines. These particular fillers can last from 6 to 12 months before being absorbed. Brands such as Juvederm, Juvederm Voluma, and Restylane are all options for those who are interested in the Hyaluronic Acid option.

Fat Transfers

Noninvasive fat transfers – or micro-lipo injection – add volume to the skin in the face and hands, giving you a more rested, youthful appearance. By using your body’s unwanted fat, the procedure reduces crow’s feet, laugh lines and ridges that appear as a normal part of aging. Along with improving the skin’s appearance and reversing the signs of aging, fat transfers can also repair and reconstruct skin damaged by trauma or surgery.

Vitamin C Peel

Vitamin C is one of the best-known defenses against free radicals. This peel is an option for anyone who suffers from acne because it deeply cleanses the pores and provides an anti-bacterial action to prevent acne from reappearing. The acid found in Vitamin C also works as a bleaching agent, which can help restore imbalanced skin tone and help fade blemishes.

Vitalize Peel

The Vitalize Peel uses a combination of AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids and Beta Hydroxy Acids), along with Retinol, to give a more corrective exfoliation for the skin. Our most popular facial treatment and suitable for melasma, sun damage, acne, post hyper-inflammatory acne, fine lines and all-over tone and texture of skin. For best results, you should consider a series of three visits.

CO2 Laser

CO2 laser is the latest technology for skin resurfacing. It’s designed to help remove wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and cheeks. The laser works by gently vaporizing the outer layer of sun-damaged or acne scarring to reveal smooth, fresh new skin underneath. Similarly, the laser works to phase out fine lines and wrinkles. The procedure gives your physician control over the application. Recovery time lasts about two weeks and works best for lighter skin tones.

Butt Augmentation 101: Everything You Need to Know

Posted on August 16, 2017 - Buttocks Contouring

Butt Augmentation

 

Buttock augmentation is one of the fastest growing surgeries and one of our most recommended operations in 2017. With so many different options available to achieve the curves you want, we’ve put together a guide to everything you need to know about Butt Augmentation.

The Operation

There are several different options for butt augmentation depending on the needs of the patient. The most common request in our Nashville office are patients who want implants or a fat transfer.

The butt implant procedure begins with a vertical incision in the upper part of the gluteal fold. From here, the implants can be inserted and shaped. The size and shape of the implants are determined during your initial consultation.

Another contouring option is using fat tissue from your body and injecting it into your buttocks. This procedure begins with fat aspiration from an area of your body, which is filtrated and injected into the buttocks to create a rounder shape.

Expect Some Change in Shape

The results after having implants will be immediate, but if you choose to have fat transfers, it can take 6 – 12 months for the grafts to settle. Usually, 60% – 80% of the fat survives after a transfer, but that percentage could change with weight fluctuation. If you gain weight that percentage will increase, however with weight loss you could lose some volume in the buttocks. If you are currently trying to lose weight, it may be advisable to wait until you’ve achieved your goal.

The Healing Time for Implants is Longer Than Fat Transfers

Since the implant procedure is more involved surgically than having fat transferred, recovery time from implants will take longer. Sitting will be almost nonexistent for up to 3 weeks since you won’t be able to put much if any pressure on the buttocks. You can sleep face down or on your side, but you’ll need to limit the amount you are on your back. This is both for placement and comfort. Exercise will be nonexistent for 6 – 8 weeks, as your body needs to recover from the surgery.

Am I a Good Candidate for Butt Augmentation?

If you have always yearned for an hourglass figure, you may be a good candidate for buttock augmentation. This procedure can successfully give you the rounder, firmer backside that you’ve been coveting. Those with stretch marks, cellulite, and loose, hanging skin, also benefit from this type of procedure.

Because this kind of procedure is considered major surgery, a consultation with Dr. Marvel is required to discuss the desired results and prepare you for pre and post operation.

Top 5 Reasons to Consider SlimLipo™

Dreaming of the perfect bikini body, but can’t seem to achieve the results you want? You’re not alone. Many people struggle with weight loss and have tried almost everything to achieve a slim, toned figure. If you are experiencing difficulty obtaining the sleek shape you want, SlimLipo™ might be the right option for you.

1. Targets Stubborn Areas

Even though you can exercise all areas of the body, some take longer to see results.  One of the benefits of SlimLipo™ is that it targets stubborn fat. The thighs, arms, and back are the most common areas for SlimLipo™. However, you can use this procedure to improve almost any area or to create the curves you want.

2. Tighten Skin

SlimLipo™ is a procedure that uses lasers to “melt” away fat. Like other laser treatments, the improvements are multifaceted. Since the lasers stimulate skin cells into producing collagen and elastin, you can also tighten up the skin, so you don’t have sagging or wrinkles.

3.  Minimize Cellulite

SlimLipo’s™ lasers are used both internally and externally. The laser works by helping with superficial problems, like cellulite. This process contributes by tightening skin and smoothing out areas that lack collagen.

4. Smaller Incisions

As a liposuction technique that uses wavelengths to dissolve fat, tiny incisions are made to help “melt” away fat. Smaller incisions mean your doctor can hide scarring. The smaller incision means less time for recovery.

5. Rejuvenates skin

Laser treatments rapidly reduce the signs of aging with very little down time. The laser works by gently vaporizing the outer layer of sun-damaged or acne scarring to reveal smooth, fresh new skin. Similarly, the laser works to phase out fine lines and wrinkles.

Silicone or Saline? What’s the Difference?

Posted on July 25, 2017 - Breast Implants, Uncategorized

Silicone or Saline? What’s the Difference?

 

For those who are considering a breast augmentation, the options available today are better than ever. But which is the better choice, saline or silicone? This debate has been around forever. If you are considering breast augmentation, read on to discover the key differences and find out which option is best for you.

Before we dive into the pro’s and con’s, let’s take a look at the two most common misconceptions about saline and silicone implants.

The Material

Both saline and silicone implants have an outer silicone shell. The biggest difference is the fluid used inside.

Saline: Saline implants are inserted empty and filled with sterile salt water. They are safe enough to use on any adult 18 years or older.

Silicone: The silicone implant is filled with a sticky gel that mimics the feel of body fat. Most women have said the look and feel of silicone implants are similar to normal breast tissue.

A Rupture

Though ruptures don’t happen often, it is something to consider when deciding which implant will work best for you.

Saline: If leakage occurs in a saline implant, the fluid inside will seep out into the body pretty rapidly. Because saline is salty water, the body will absorb the liquid without any complications. Undergoing surgery is necessary to remove the empty sack.

Silicone: Leakage in a silicone implant won’t show rapid results like the saline option. Because the liquid is thick, it most likely will get stuck in the surrounding breast tissue. Silicone won’t cause breast cancer, tissue disease, or arthritis. Most women feel only slight pain and discomfort. Surgery is then performed to remove and replace the implant.

Now that we’ve had time to address these factors let’s take a closer look at the pros and cons of each.

Silicone Implants

Pros:

  • Natural look
  • Natural feel
  • Low rate of ripping/wrinkling
  • Lighter than saline
  • Maintains perkier shape

Cons:

  • Longer scar because implants inserted are pre-filled
  • Higher price point
  • Might incur late capsular contracture
  • MRI required need to detect rupture

Saline Implants

Pros:

  • Lower rate of revision surgery
  • Capsular contracture is low
  • Shorter scar
  • Lower cost
  • Now need for MRI if leakage occurs

Cons:

  • Can sometimes look too round
  • Feel unnatural and stiff
  • Higher rate of downward displacement
  • Heavier than silicon

The best way to determine the right option for you is to talk with an experienced cosmetic surgeon. Dr. Marvel has become one of the trusted names in the Middle Tennessee area for breast augmentation.

Botox: When and Why You Should Get It

Posted on June 26, 2017 - Combat Wrinkles, Dermal Fillers

Botox: When and Why You Should Get It

 

Many people search for something that can reverse the signs of aging. A healthy diet, limited sun exposure, and regular use of a moisturizer is a good place to start. However, some fine lines and wrinkles are hereditary or brought on by stress, so changing your daily habits won’t necessarily affect them.

If you are looking for a safe way to reverse the signs of aging, you might want to consider Botox. Below, we’ve answered the most common questions we receive about Botox treatment.

Are all injectables the same?

Injectables is a blanket term for a procedure that transfers product directly into the skin and muscle tissue via a syringe, which helps reduce the signs of aging. Both Botox and Fillers use this method and obtain favorable results, but they each perform in various ways.

Why Botox and how does it work?

Botox is known widely for its use to reduce the signs of aging. With a few quick injections, deep lines between brows, crow’s feet, and laugh lines are all reduced in appearance.

Botox works by using Botulinum toxins, which are injected directly into the facial muscle to restrict muscle movement. Deeply etched lines in the face, often created by intense concentration or constant furrowing, will smooth out with regular use. Regular Botox treatments mean preventing new creases from forming while smoothing out the appearance of what you already have.

Who should consider Botox?

This type of treatment is for those who are experiencing wrinkles in places where they hold a lot of tension; think frown lines, furrowed brows, etc. By freezing the muscles in these areas, you prevent deeper lines from forming. Some patients have noticed with multiple treatments, the habit of furrowing and frowning stops. This results in fewer treatments over time.

Are there other benefits of Botox?

Yes! There are a few other ways you can benefit from Botox.

Reduce Tension Headaches

When injected into the muscles of the forehead, neck, and shoulders, it can release built up tension, therefore, lessening the strain on the nervous system.

Reduce Excess Sweating

Botox injections can also help with the overproduction of sweat. The injection inhibits the chemical acetycholine, which stimulates the sweat glands. The procedure lasts 6 – 8 months and can be used in the armpits, hands, feet, and face.

Bladder Control

Recently, Botox is being used to treat patients with an overactive bladder. When injected into the bladder it helps increase volume capacity. The treatment can last up to several months reducing the number of bathroom visits for those who are affected.

Eye Treatment

We aren’t talking just wrinkles. This procedure will help anyone who suffers from Strabismus (crossed eyes). When the injection is used in one of the eye muscles, the muscle temporarily weakens allowing the eyes to realign properly.

At Marvel Cosmetic Surgery, we don’t believe that surgery is always required to achieve the look you want. That’s why we offer a wide variety of non-surgical procedures to help you look and feel your best. In fact, our most popular request is the non-surgical treatment, Botox.

5 Tips for Flawless Summer Skin

Posted on June 15, 2017 - Combat Wrinkles, Injectable, Injectable Fillers, Skin Care

5 Tips for Flawless Summer Skin

 

Summer is in full swing, which means more time spent outdoors. It’s easy when the temperature starts to rise to eliminate some steps in your skincare, but there are some parts of your beauty routine you should never skip. Here are our recommendations for maintaining flawless skin this summer.

Drink Water

In the summer, people tend to not drink enough water. Sweating, even if it’s just from sitting next to the pool, depletes our water storage. Drinking water is the best way to achieve healthy skin from the inside out. Water also detoxifies the body, which means you stay hydrated and get supple, clear skin. So, make sure on days when you spend a significant time outside, you double up on your water intake to flush out toxins!

Makeup with SPF

Even when we don’t intentionally spend time outside, it’s important to slather on the SPF. Sitting in your car while in traffic or having an office where the sun shines through the window still exposes us to the sun’s daily rays. Harmful UVA and UVB rays damage the skin, making it look old and leathery. We love this product from Giorgio Armani. Complete with broad spectrum 50, it doubles as a primer and SPF which means you can keep your foundation in place and get the protection you need. It’s lightweight which won’t add excess oil throughout the day.

 

After Sun Moisturizer

It would seem counterintuitive to slap on moisturizer when you are sweating from the heat. However, an after-sun moisturizer has the added bonus of cooling aloe, which helps promote cell rejuvenation. The sun is very drying and to maintain your tan without peeling; you’ll want to slather on this moisturizer from Clarins. They have a whole line dedicated to summer skin, but we love this particular product! It deeply penetrates to protect your bronzed glow.

Self-tanner

If soaking up the rays isn’t your thing, you can still achieve a sun-kissed glow with a good self-tanner. It’s a safer way to look like you’ve spent days vacationing in Bermuda. We love this product from St. Tropez. It’s a buildable self-tanner that lets you graduate to a bronzed look that works for you. St. Tropez developed this product for in shower use for zero orange mess. The simple, easy to follow steps allow for an even, foolproof tan.

Injectables

If you want plump, glowing skin both in and out of the sunshine, injectables are a good option. Injectables work structurally to enhance the shape of your face, smooth out acne scars, and make skin appear even. They also work to plump areas like your lips or under your eyes, all of which are options for maintaining a more youthful appearance. Deeply etched lines in the face as a result of constant furrowing will smooth out with regular use of a product like Botox. This procedure can enhance your overall appearance by making you look more relaxed and youthful.

Our expertly trained staff can work with you to help you achieve flawless summer skin. Call us at 615-329-3900 to book your consultation today!

Cosmetic Procedures for Men

Posted on May 26, 2017 - Facial Procedure, Liposuction, Male Breast Reduction, Rhinoplasty

Best Cosmetic Procedures for Men

No one wants to accept how aging affects our appearance. It’s disappointing to look in the mirror and see someone who looks older than we actually are or feel. These insecurities don’t just apply to women; men also suffer. The number of men opting for cosmetic procedures is rising. In honor of Men’s National Health Month, here are cosmetic procedures we recommend for men.

 

Chest

If you suffer from excess skin and fat in the chest, breast reduction surgery could help. It’s quite common for skin to lose its elasticity over time. With excess fat, the tissue can become saggy and may lead to a feminizing appearance of the chest. With breast reduction surgery, the excess skin is removed and tightened. The procedure is not only permanent but can have you back to work in no time.

Stomach

If your efforts at the gym aren’t yielding the results you desire, liposuction or a tummy tuck may be an option for you. Liposuction or SlimLipo targets excess fat in the body and reduces it from hard to reach places, even delicate areas such as around the arm or thighs.

If you are looking to remove larger areas of fat and skin from the waistline, a tummy tuck is a possible solution. This procedure is more in depth and requires more shaping and sculpting, giving you a smaller, more defined waist. It is usually completed in conjunction with some form of liposuction.

*Note: This procedure is ideal for those who have difficulty with trouble spots and should not be considered a weight loss method.

Nose

Rhinoplasty can help reshape your nose for structural or aesthetic purposes. In most cases, the size of the nose can throw off the balance of the whole face. A nose job addresses many cosmetic issues, such as shape and size, to create a harmonious balance. This surgery requires anesthesia, then the doctor will make small incisions inside the nose and sculpt to the appropriate shape. In most cases, the patient’s recovery time is very short, and the results are permanent.

Eyes

A combination of genetics and exposure to the sun can leave your eyes looking tired and makes the skin start to sag. With eyelid surgery, you can quickly achieve a more rejuvenated appearance. This procedure removes excess skin and fat from around the eyes, which will brighten your appearance. The best news is the results are permanent.

If you suffer from under-eye bags or hollows, injections or fillers might be a good option. This process is pretty easy and relatively painless but will require some maintenance.

Face

Sagging skin around the neck can be uncomfortable and can also create an illusion of being heavier than you actually are. If this is an area of concern, a facelift might be the right procedure for you. Facelifts reduces excess skin and fat to give you a firmer, more defined jawline. This process can add years to your appearance and boost confidence. The amount of improvement varies from patient to patient but usually only needs one session to complete. Pain and scarring are minimal with little recovery time after.

At Marvel Cosmetic Surgery, we take pride in staying up-to-date on the latest technologies and techniques. We want to ensure you receive the best, most natural looking results.

The Difference Between Botox and Face Fillers

Posted on May 20, 2017 - Dermal Fillers, Facial Procedure, Uncategorized

The Difference Between Botox and Face Fillers

The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is a common source of irritation for both men and women. Many people search for something that can reverse these tell-tale signs of aging. If you are searching for a safe and effective anti-aging treatment to restore your youthful appearance, consider using Injectables.

Injectables:

Injectables is a blanket term for a procedure that transfers product directly into the skin and muscle tissue via a syringe in order to help reduce the signs of aging. Botox and Fillers both use this method and obtain favorable results, but they each perform in completely different ways. We’ll discuss the differences below so you can choose which one is right for you.

Botox:

Botox can enhance your overall appearance by:

“BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults.” Botox Cosmetic: What Is Botox Cosmetic?

Botox (and similar brands such as Dysport) works by using Botulinum toxins, which are injected directly into the facial muscle in order to restrict muscle movement. Deeply etched lines in the face, often created by intense concentration or constant furrowing, will smooth out with regular use.

Is Botox for you?

Botox is for those who are experiencing wrinkles in places where they hold a lot of tension; think frown lines, furrowed brows, etc. By freezing the muscles in these areas, you prevent deeper lines forming. Some patients have noticed with multiple treatments, the habit of furrowing and frowning stops. This results in fewer treatments over time.

Fillers:

Fillers differ from Botox because they are injected into the contours of your face, not to paralyze, but to add volume or plump specific areas.

Some fillers are made with hyaluronic acid which fills in wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body naturally produces to keep skin plump and hydrated. Since it already occurs in the body, these fillers are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. The filler itself has a gel-like consistency that is injected into the skin to smooth fine lines. These particular fillers can last from 6 to 12 months before being absorbed. Brands such as Juvederm, Juvederm Voluma, and Restylane are all options for those who are interested in the Hyaluronic Acid option.

Fillers can also use fat from your body. Noninvasive fat transfers are another way to add volume to the skin. By using your body’s fat, the procedure can reduce crow’s feet, laugh lines and ridges that appear as a normal part of aging. Along with improving the skin’s appearance and reversing the signs of aging, fat transfers can also repair and reconstruct skin damaged by trauma or surgery.

Are Fillers right for you?

If you want to add volume to your face, fillers are a perfect choice. The best areas to target are under the eyes, thinned cheeks, and lips. Again, Hyaluronic Acid is a natural substance, so it is perfect for anyone who suffers from severe allergy problems.
