The Fraxel lasers are revolutionary non-invasive lasers for rejuvenation of the skin of the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and more. This means tighter skin with dramatic reversal of age spots, wrinkles, acne spots and other signs of aging. People of any color can be treated, and recovery time is minimal.
The Fraxel lasers vaporize tiny micro-holes in the skin with a patented “smart headpiece” that calculates the exact number of pre-set micro-hole needed for the task. Because normal skin is left between the micro-holes, the laser can penetrate much deeper than ordinary lasers, for a more permanent result, and with less much downtime. Think of these micro-holes as tissue being removed from the face, thus tightening or “shrinking” skin of the face.

What is best, a saline or silicone implant? Saline (salt water) implants do not feel as natural as silicone implants in cases without encapsulation. All encapsulated breast simply feel and look hard. In fact, silicone implants often feel exactly like real breast. However, saline implants have a slightly lower incidence of encapsulation, but wrinkles are much more noticeable with saline implants. In someone with a “B” cup or more there is enough beast tissue to hide such wrinkles. The new silicone implants are much hardier than before, and the silicone gel is “cohesive”, meaning that if ruptured, it doesn’t leak, but is more like jello. If there were a perfect implant or technique, there would only be one. Again, this is to be discussed with your plastic surgeon.

What is best, the implant behind or in front of the muscle? Both positions have advantages and disadvantages. In front of the muscle (called pre-pectoral or sub-glandular) can be more natural in appearance in someone with adequate breast tissue, and recovery is less painful. In someone with very small breasts, wrinkles can sometimes be seen around saline implants, and the implants may more like implants than a breast. Thus behind the muscle (sub-pectoral) is better for someone with minimal breast tissue. The risk of encapsulation (implant hardening) may be slightly less behind the muscle, which is good. It is usually your plastic surgeon’s choice after assessing your needs and desires, but you should have some input as well.
