Tag: Plastic Surgery

You’ve been considering plastic surgery. You’ve imagined how the benefits will change your appearance, and you like what you think. But you still have questions about the procedure and are slightly nervous about going under the knife.

How do you learn more about the process without depending solely on blog posts and websites and what your best friend thinks? To get the best information about the cosmetic procedure you are processing, it’s best to get the facts from a professional.

With that said, the search for a plastic surgeon can be exciting. You have an idea of the operation and need a surgeon with a good reputation for achieving excellent results. While this is a good time to list all your questions and concerns, it is critical to be ready to provide honest answers to what your plastic surgeon may ask.

Board-certified plastic surgery Dr. David Dreyfuss suggests being prepared to discuss these six topics that can directly impact your surgery, recovery, and outcome.

1. All Past Procedures, Surgical and Non-Surgical

Disclose all of your past treatments and surgeries, even those that require no downtime. Non-surgical options like laser resurfacing, Ultherapy, CoolSculpting, and injectables affect your tissues differently. Dr. Dreyfuss needs to consider those changes when planning your surgery.

2. Complete Medical History

Provide an outline of your complete medical history—allergies, past procedures, illnesses, and more. Your safety is Dr. Dreyfuss’s primary concern. So, assume everything is relevant to your surgery.

3. Medical Issues That Run in Your Family

Tell Dr. Dreyfuss about medical problems that affect your immediate family. Many conditions are genetic, and knowing this information allows your plastic surgeon to screen for risks that are unique to you.

4. All Prescription Medications

Every drug is relevant to the surgical process, so inform Dr. Dreyfuss about everything you take. It is vital for your safety that he and his team know what will be in your system to ensure that nothing interferes with the surgery, anesthesia, or medications to manage any post-surgery discomfort.

5. All Non-Prescription Medications, Including Recreational Drugs and Supplements

And don’t stop there. Make a list of any non-prescription medicines or supplements you take, including herbal teas. These could interfere with the surgical process and your aftercare medications too. This includes recreational drugs like marijuana. Remember, it’s best that you are 100% honest with Dr. Dreyfuss because he’s your medical professional, not your judge.

6. The Results You Want

Speak candidly with Dr. Dreyfuss about your aesthetic goals. Bring some wish pics or pick a look from our gallery.  That’s not to say what you want is possible, but it is at least a good benchmark. If Dr. Dreyfuss believes your expectations are impossible, he will tell you why. Then explain what the surgery can accomplish or suggest an alternative treatment.

Plastic surgery is about more than improving your physical appearance. For example, feeling more confident in your looks can also enhance your mental well-being and self-esteem. Some of the solutions we offer at Dreyfuss Plastic Surgery deliver substantial wellness alongside cosmetic improvement. While many surgeries have aesthetic enhancement as their first goal, it’s impossible to overlook the emotional gains that come with loving your looks.

Several cosmetic procedures deliver tangible health benefits. Here are four you may find interesting.

1. Breast Reduction

For women with large, prominent breasts, being well-endowed is not always a blessing. Breast reduction provides increased comfort for women who struggle with oversized breasts and experience neck pain, shoulder pain, and back pain. Bra strap indentations, chafing, and migraines are secondary issues imposed by substantial breast volume. Patients undergoing breast reduction surgery gain an immediate and dramatic relief from these symptoms, which is life-changing for many women in Chicago.

2. Gynecomastia Surgery

Many men struggle with the embarrassment associated with having enlarged breasts – a condition medically known as gynecomastia. While some estimates suggest up to 60% of men deal with gynecomastia at some point in their lives, that commonality probably doesn’t make you feel more confident when you need to take your shirt off at the beach or in a changing room. To make matters worse, this excess skin and fat typically doesn’t respond well to diet and exercise. That’s why the dramatic results provided by a male breast reduction can be so transformative. This surgery can create a firmer, more masculine-looking chest contour, allowing you to confidently pursue your goals.

3. Eyelid Surgery

With age, the delicate skin around your eyes will become even thinner, which can cause droopy upper eyelids and prominent undereye bags. A significant degree of skin sagging can interfere with your peripheral vision, particularly in the upper and outer parts of your visual field. An eyelid lift can resolve these problems, while making your eyes look alert and younger.

4. Body Lift

If you’ve recently lost a dramatic amount of weight through a sensible diet and exercise plan or bariatric surgery, you may find yourself frustrated by the remaining loose skin that did not regain its elasticity after you achieved your target body weight. Lax, hanging skin folds can cause painful rubbing and friction that may lead to open sores and complications like chafing, rashes, and potential infections. A body lift after significant natural weight loss or bariatric surgery can resolve this discomfort, allow you to wear more flattering clothing, and improve your self-image.

With the steady interest in having procedures before employers require people to start returning to work, it comes as no surprise that the demand for cosmetic surgery procedures is now stronger than ever.

What Procedures Are Making a Comeback?

Here are the procedures currently trending as people start socializing and returning to their workplaces:

Liposuction and CoolSculpting®

Eliminating stubborn fat pockets will never go out of style. That’s why liposuction and the newest variation of CoolSculpting® technology in fat reduction remains a popular cosmetic surgery in Orland Park, Illinois. With their ability to treat multiple areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, bra fat, upper arm, and under the buttocks, chin, and jawline, these procedures deliver beautiful results with minimal downtime.

Eyelid Surgery

Your eyes attract a lot of attention and are affected by sagging eyelids and unsightly wrinkles. Eyelid Surgery (also known as Blepharoplasty) has consistently been a popular facial plastic surgery and will remain this way as people return to work. Eyelid surgery takes years off the appearance of the eyes by resolving furrows and undereye bags and rejuvenating and brightening tired, puffy eyes and drooping lids.

Abdominoplasty

Better known as a tummy tuck, abdominoplasty removes excess skin from the abdominal area and tightens the skin and abdominal muscles, resulting in a slimmer and more athletic figure. Tummy tuck surgery is often performed post pregnancy or after bariatric surgery. It remains one of Chicago’s more popular body contouring procedures because it dramatically reshapes the torso and delivers the taut, thin tummy associated with a youthful body.

Breast Augmentation

As a type of cosmetic breast surgery, breast augmentation has continued to be one of the most popular surgical procedures. By enhancing the breasts, establishing symmetry, improving cleavage, and improving your overall figure, you will look and feel your best when you can finally leave your home to get back to work or meet with friends.

Breast Reduction

A woman’s breast reduction surgery has benefits that exceed an improved appearance. Having heavy or overly large breasts makes it challenging for women to find clothing that fits and creates chronic back pain and poor posture, especially for those with a physically demanding job. Breast reduction reduces the size of the breasts for more comfort and an aesthetically balanced outcome.

One thing all mothers have in common is that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding change their body dramatically. For some, a healthy diet and working out regularly can help restore your pre-baby body. For others, more dramatic changes are necessary to eliminate stubborn fat deposits and excess skin. A mommy makeover combines multiple cosmetic surgeries to help a mother regain the youthful figure she once enjoyed.

What Does a Mommy Makeover Correct?

A mommy makeover can address various aesthetic concerns. Dr. Dreyfuss will discuss goals and desired results with you during a consultation. With your input in mind, he will structure a surgical plan to match your cosmetic needs and desired goals. Procedures may include:

Most women want to improve their breasts, abdomen, and buttocks. Combining cosmetic procedures can help mothers correct multiple problem areas at once. From his full suite of body contouring procedures, Dr. Dreyfuss can improve your body outline by performing two or more aesthetic surgeries at once.

Best Candidates

Optimal candidates for a mommy makeover share the following characteristics.

In Good Health

As with any operation, mommy makeover candidates should be in good overall health. The body must be capable of healing properly to successfully recover after surgery. If you have any existing conditions or medical concerns, let Dr. Dreyfuss know. From there, he can determine if a mommy makeover is right for you.

At Optimal Body Weight

The best candidates for a mommy makeover are close to their healthy weight. Being over- or under-weight may compromise the outcome if you lose or gain weight after surgery. You should be aware that a mommy makeover is not a weight-loss treatment. It’s a contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat pads and excess skin.

Have Time to Recover

Depending on which procedures are part of your mommy makeover, you will need time to heal. You should plan at least two weeks off from your regular schedule to rest and recover. If you include a tummy tuck with the procedure, expect a longer recovery, about a month to six weeks.

No Future Pregnancies

Before investing in enhancing your figure with a mommy makeover, you should wait until you are no longer planning to have children. Any future pregnancies can negatively impact your results.

Non-Smokers

We all know smoking can be hazardous to your health. After all, that’s why there’s a surgeon’s general warning on every pack. Smoking impedes circulation, making incisions less likely to heal and close properly. It also increases the likelihood of infection and weakens the immune system.

If you smoke, quit. If you can’t quit for good, stop smoking for at least two weeks before and two weeks after surgery.

Botox is a popular non-surgical option for diminishing unwanted facial lines and wrinkles. However, this cosmetic stalwart has more uses than eliminating those pesky expression lines. It has proven to be an effective treatment for other cosmetic and non-cosmetic procedures as well. Here are a few:

Acne Treatment

Yes, Botox has been used for treating Acne breakouts by reducing oil production to combat those unsightly pimples. But before resorting to Botox for Acne treatment, all other forms of acne treatments should have been implemented. The best facial area for Acne treatment is the forehead.

Gummy Smile

When a smile shows more than those pearly whites and exposes too much gum above the teeth, Botox can relax the upper lip allowing it to cover more of the exposed gum. Then your smile will focus more on your teeth creating a beautiful smile.

Bunny Lines

Those little lines on either side of the nose which scrunch up and become noticeable are known as bunny lines. Botox injections on each side of the nose will relax the muscles, and like magic, those funny wrinkles will go away.

Muscle Spasms

Whether your experiencing eye or neck spasms, Botox is effective in relaxing the muscle responsible for the spasm. This treatment will temporarily fix this issue which is troublesome to many patients.

Overactive Bladder

For many women over 40 who suffer from urinary incontinence, Botox can be a Godsend. Often prescribed medication does not help, and Botox injections can be the answer. It can be injected into the bladder wall providing relief for up to six months.

Excessive Sweating

When you don’t want ever to let them see you sweat, especially in the armpits, Botox may be an effective treatment. Excessive sweating is common with many women and men particularly during big events like a wedding or a presentation at work. Botox can effectively reduce sweating for up to two years.

Grinding Teeth

Because Botox can control involuntary muscle tension and spasms, it is effective in reducing the problem with grinding your teeth. It weakens the chewing muscles which are responsible for teeth grinding, without upsetting the ability to smile or chew. The results last up to four months.

Migraines

Migraine headaches can be debilitating. Recently, the FDA has approved Botox for Migraine treatment.  Injected into areas around the neck, forehead, and temples, Botox eases the pain and discomfort associated with this uncomfortable condition.

And More

While only a few of these treatments are approved by the FDA, others are off-label treatments. Research is experimenting with Botox for multiple treatments on multiple body parts. Early findings suggest Botox can be helpful in an array of solutions including hair loss and cerebral palsy patients. It can improve a patient’s quality of life in many ways, including those outside aesthetic medicine.

Fall is a season of transition. The leaves change color, kids go back to school, and the temperatures begin to drop after one more blast of heat from the departing summer. In Chicago, we transition from outdoor barbeques to indoor dinners at our favorite charity event or our kids’ school boosters. We put away our bathing suits and summer wardrobe while pulling sweaters, jacket, and coats out of storage. There are several transitions which mark the change in seasons, recovery from aesthetic treatment doesn’t have to be one of them.

At Dreyfuss Plastic Surgery, we find many patients look to avoid lengthy recovery as they prepare themselves for the common fall events. Occasions which populate many calendars during autumn include weddings, back to school events, and preparation for the winter holidays.

With this in mind, we thought we would help our readers with some suggested treatment options to make sure you are ready this fall no matter what the occasion.

Weddings

Whether it’s a blood relation, distant cousin or someone you don’t know, a wedding invitation triggers our aesthetic sensibilities. Everyone wants to look their best at a wedding. It might be a time of reflection; looking at personal wedding photos and noticing how much you’ve changed. Here are some suggestions which will make you look your best and give the bride a run for her money.

Botox®

This treatment is for resolving those lines and wrinkles which appeared out of nowhere this summer. Botox® is the most popular cosmetic procedure in Chicago because the product is quick, effective and easy. Injections are possible during your lunch break or any convenient time which fits your busy calendar. The treatment is effective at reducing forehead lines, crow’s feet, and verticle lines between the brow.

Liposuction

This body contouring procedure will allow you to wear your favorite outfit. You know, the one you love but struggle to squeeze into comfortably. Although your fitness routine and eating habits have you at or close to your optimal weight, pesky fat bulges remain in all the wrong places. Liposuction eliminates the stubborn fat which diet and exercise seem to ignore.

Back to School

With the hustle and bustle of back to school shopping, carpools, and running your kids from one practice to another; now is the time to take advantage of this slow period and schedule the procedures you have been contemplating for some time. Although these have extended recovery periods, you have plenty of time before fall to cross off another task on your cosmetic wish list.

Eyelid Surgery

Tired of looking tired? Eyelid surgery is designed to restore those beautiful peepers and make you look fresh and alert. Dr. Dreyfuss can correct hooded upper eyelids or sagging bags under each eye. The procedure will have your loved ones commenting, “you look great,” more times than you want to hear. Well, not really.

Ultherapy®

This treatment is a fantastic anti-aging therapy which helps lift sagging skin on the brow, décolletage, chin, neck, and face.  Ultherapy® uses advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production. These two components are responsible for the flexibility and support of your skin. When their production naturally diminishes, fine lines and wrinkles naturally appear.

The Holidays

Although the temperatures still reach the nineties, the winter holidays will be here before you know it. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah and New Years are filled with parties and dinners which demand you look your best. Also, who doesn’t want to be envied by family and friends who only see us during these annual get-togethers? Here are some suggestions to help you make a stunning impression:

Facelift

It’s possible to eliminate facial voids and unsightly wrinkles before the Chicago Bear’s start their regular season. You will have plenty of time to get used to this younger version of yourself. With taut, beautiful facial skin, you will amaze friends, family, co-workers, and acquaintances with a younger looking, more beautiful appearance and attitude.

Breast Lift

It’s a fact, most women in their forties need a breast lift, and some in their thirties as well. The best way to realize if you need a little elevation in your breast area is to determine if your nipples point down or sag below your natural breast crease.

A breast lift will elevate your breasts to a perky, youthful position and work wonders for your figure and self-confidence.

If you are considering any of these procedures or others, call Dr. Dreyfuss today at 815-806-9400 or contact us today for a consultation

Summer is almost here and with it comes warmer weather. This temperature rise means you’ll be exchanging your winter woolens for your crop tops, summer shorts, and bikinis. It may be wonderful to think you’ll be able to get some sun on your skin; but is your summer body ready to flaunt?

Here at Dreyfuss Plastic Surgery, we see an uptick in patients looking to get summer ready for the events on their calendar. Here are the most popular procedures they choose:

Liposuction

Liposuction is the most popular plastic surgery procedure in the Chicago area and around the United States. It is the least invasive plastic surgery available and has the shortest recovery period. Liposuction is designed to eliminate the stubborn fat that diet and exercise can’t seem to resolve and help you look your best this summer.

The procedure involves tiny incisions that enable a thin suction tool to remove stubborn fat cells from target areas. It is not a weight loss procedure but rather a body contouring treatment, and patients should be close to their optimal weight before considering the surgery.

CoolSculpting

What could be more satisfying than freezing away unwanted bulges to prepare for the warm weather that approaches? Coolsculpting uses advanced fat freezing technology to create a sculpted body outline designed to turn heads. The non-surgical, non-invasive procedure is a perfect alternative to liposuction for patients with less fat issues or who shy from surgery.

CoolSculpting is a comfortable way to eliminate fat pads. Many of our patients bring a book, watch Netflix or take a nap during treatment.

Breast Surgery

Breast surgeries like augmentation or a lift are designed to provide youthful, vivacious breasts which add confidence and body self-esteem. Breast augmentation brings balance, firmness and optimal size and shape to the bust line while a breast lift will elevate the breasts to a perky youthful position.

Brazilian Butt Lift

This procedure lifts your tush so you can feel sexy in the sleekest dresses and tightest jeans. Your summer wardrobe will not include loose-fitting clothing designed to hide what you have, but rather the most stylish outfits for summer wear.

The Brazilian butt lift will increase projection and improve your overall body profile making you look feminine and sexy.

Cellfina

Cellfina is an FDA approved cellulite treatment product with long-lasting, clinically proven results.  The traditional methods of radiofrequency, laser treatment, lotions and topical creams have had sporadic results at best.

This in-office cellulite treatment takes about a half hour and provides initial results within three days, gradually improving over two to three months.

Laser Hair Removal

Prepare for this summer with the need for little hair removal maintenance. The ProWave laser provides permanent hair removal results so you can reveal a soft, smooth skin every time you go to the beach or wear your favorite shorts.

Instead of shaving, tweezing, waxing or plucking, try this revolutionary treatment for effective but gentle hair removal for the chin, back, bikini line, legs or underarms. Patient results vary, and multiple treatments may be necessary for permanent results.

Skin Rejuvenation

Dreyfuss Plastic Surgery offers Laser Genesis, an innovative Yag laser treatment for non-ablative skin rejuvenation. This procedure resolves common skin issues like uneven texture, redness, large pores, scars, and wrinkles providing a healthy skin glow.

It delivers consistent high energy pulses to skin tissue, heating, and targeting multiple skin layers. You will enjoy the relative comfort of the procedure with best results after a series of five treatment sessions.

Laser Genesis is available for all skin types but ideal for light to medium skin tones.

Losing significant weight is a huge achievement. But after reaching your weight-loss goal, you may find your healthy, thin body needs some additional aesthetic fine-tuning. Extreme weight loss often leaves behind a large amount of skin which may hang around the face, breasts, legs, arms, and abdomen. Because skin loses elasticity after stretching, it often does not shrink back to its former shape and size.

Dr. David Dreyfuss offers body contouring surgeries designed to remove excess skin for patients who have lost substantial weight. These post weight-loss surgeries remove excess skin and fat and lift and tighten target areas so you are more comfortable in an active lifestyle and can wear fashionable clothing with confidence.

When to Consider Plastic Surgery after Dramatic Weight Loss

  • When sagging skin is an issue in multiple areas including the back, thighs, abdomen, breasts, neck, and face.
  • When your weight is stable for 18 months or more after reaching your weight-loss.

Candidates

When plastic surgery is necessary to treat sagging skin, these characteristics define a good candidate:

  • Target weight is stable for at least six months, and the patient is expecting no additional weight loss. Body contouring should not be considered for two years after starting a dramatic weight-loss treatment plan. This period will allow the skin to shrink to its limit and for any nutrition plan to become stable as well.
  • The patient is in good health without any serious medical issues like heart disease or diabetes. The patient should seek clearance for body contouring procedures from their primary care physicians or their physician treating their medical condition.
  • The patient maintains a healthy diet to maintain optimal weight.
  • The patient does not smoke. Smoking will increase the chance of complications like excessive bleeding and slow down the recovery process.
  • The patient has mental stamina. A body contouring procedure requires endurance and patience.
  • The patient has realistic expectations. Although body contouring will achieve a marked improvement in your shape, it may be impossible to restore the body and skin to how it would be if there were no weight gain.

What Surgeries are Available?

The first step to any body contouring procedure is to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. They may suggest necessary procedures to help you achieve your stated goals and give you a realistic idea of the outcome you can expect. Often, multiple procedures are necessary and can be performed concurrently or done in interval sessions.

Dr. Dreyfuss will create a detailed surgical plan which may include one or more surgeries to help you achieve the body contour you want and need. These include:

Liposuction

Liposuction is designed to improve the contour of your knees, upper arms, thighs, neck, flanks, breasts, and hips. It is often performed with other body contouring procedure to extract any stubborn fat in target areas.

Dr. Dreyfuss will create tiny incisions in the targeted areas. He will then insert a cannula through the incision to remove stubborn fat. Suction from a vacuum will extract the necessary amount of fat cells to ensure proper contours.

After the procedure, he will apply surgical dressings and a compression garment.

Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

A Mastopexy is designed to resolve sagging breasts, stretched areolas and drooping nipples.

Dr. Dreyfuss will make the necessary incisions to remove excess skin, reposition nipples and reshape the breast tissue. The breast surgery will create a youthful and perky breast presence and may reduce the size of the areola if necessary. It will also tighten any loose skin to help support your newly-shaped breasts.

Surgical tape or skin adhesives may be applied to help support the skin and close the incisions.

Upper Arm Lift

After dramatic weight loss, the upper arms often become flabby and loose. An upper arm lift will remove excess fat and skin, resulting in a youthful and pleasing contour. The incision pattern and length will depend on the location of excess skin and the volume necessary to remove.

Dr. Dreyfuss will place incisions either inside the arm just above the elbow to the axilla (underarm) or toward the back of the arm. He will utilize liposuction if he deems it necessary to remove excess fat from the area.

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift removes extra fat and skin resulting in better-proportioned thighs which are tightened and toned. Liposuction is often done concurrently with a thigh lift to remove the excess fat.

Multiple types of thigh lifts are available including:

  • Inner thigh lift
  • Vertical thigh lift
  • Outer thigh lift

Dr. Dreyfuss will discuss the differences with you during the consultation to suggest the most appropriate option according to your needs and preferences.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck will remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening underlying muscles and removing stretch marks below the belly button.

Dr. Dreyfuss will eliminate most fat and skin between the pubic hair and the belly button while tightening the fascia overlying the muscles with permanent sutures. The surrounding skin and belly button will be repositioned.

An incision from hip bone to hip bone is required. However, it will follow the natural crease of the bikini line and be easily hidden.

Why Choose Dr. Dreyfuss

When considering surgery after significant weight loss, look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience and specialized training. Dr. David Dreyfuss has a history of superb work with body contouring with satisfying results.
