A butt lift without surgery? Yes, it is possible to get the fuller, curvier butt you desire without going under the knife, by having a liquid butt lift. The liquid butt lift is one of the latest trends in injectable treatments, as more people are interested in non-surgical butt augmentation options. But what exactly is a liquid butt lift.

What is a liquid butt lift?
A liquid butt lift is a procedure in which an injectable filler is used to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks. The cosmetic filler is injected into the buttocks to make it plumper and shapelier. The procedure is usually done using Sculptra Aesthetic.

Sculptra Aesthetic is a safe, popular cosmetic filler that is used to correct deep facial lines and folds. It consists of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is a biodegradable substance that is routinely used to make dissolvable stitches. PLLA is eventually absorbed by the body after it is injected.

Sculptra is the preferred option for butt augmentation because it provides a substantial lift without using too much product. Sculptra induces the growth of fresh collagen and this contributes to gradual, subtle results, as opposed to more obvious surgical butt enhancement.

It typically takes 2-3 sessions to achieve the desired butt augmentation with Sculptra.

What to expect
There is no downtime at all after the liquid butt lift, so most patients are able to go back to work immediately after treatment. The results of a liquid butt lift with Sculptra can last up to 2 years.

Am I Candidate For Breast Reduction?

Although having very large breasts may seem desirable, they can be challenging to deal with. In fact many women with overly large breasts desire smaller breasts, so they decide to undergo breast reduction surgery. However, one of the first questions they need to ask their plastic surgeon is – Am I a candidate for breast reduction.

What is breast reduction?
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure in which skin, breast fat, and glandular tissue is removed from the breasts to make them smaller. Breast reduction surgery makes the breasts lighter, better proportioned and improves the overall figure. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.

Are you a candidate for breast reduction?
Excessively large breasts can lead to a number of physical problems including pain and poor posture. Large, heavy breasts are especially bothersome for women with petite frames, and can cause pain in the neck, shoulder, and back.

Breasts that are too heavy can result in poor posture, as they put extra pressure on the chest. Women with very large breasts may also have rashes in the area of the skin trapped beneath the breasts, as well as grooves in the shoulders because of tight bra straps.

If you are experiencing any of the foregoing physical problems, or have difficulty finding clothes that fit because your breast are too large when compared to your body size, you may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery.

Candidates for breast reduction should also be in good health, and have a relatively normal body weight.

If you feel uncomfortable with the changes in your body after pregnancy, a mommy makeover can make you look and feel amazing once again. It’s a wonderful way to get back your body after childbirth and regain confidence. But what is included in a mommy makeover.

What is a mommy makeover?
The mommy makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures that are done to address the body changes brought about by childbirth and breastfeeding. The procedures are usually performed at the same time, and are customized to satisfy the unique needs of each patient.

What is included in a mommy makeover?
The breasts and abdomen are the primary areas of concern for women after pregnancy, so a mommy makeover typically includes the following:

Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty). The abdomen undergoes major changes during pregnancy due to the pressure placed on the abdominal muscles, and the stretching of the skin. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens the underlying abdominal muscles, in order to flatten and firm the midsection.
Breast augmentation/Breast lift. The breasts often look deflated and ‘stretched out’ after pregnancy and breast feeding. Breast augmentation uses implants to restore the fullness of the breasts. However, if the breasts are also droopy, a breast lift can be performed to make them look perky and more youthful.
Liposuction. After pregnancy many moms have pockets of fat in various areas that they aren’t able to reduce with diet and exercise. Liposuction can get rid of these unwanted fat bulges and create smoother, sleeker body contours.

If you’d like to refresh your appearance and lift and tighten your skin without going under the knife, threads can give you a facelift without surgery. Threads are an effective anti-aging treatment, as they can reduce the appearance of sagging cheeks and folds. But how do beauty threads work.

What are beauty threads?
Beauty threads are dissolvable sutures that are used to tighten the skin. Threads are typically made of Polydioxanone (PDO) which is an absorbable suture that is commonly used in medical devices. Threads are typically used to rejuvenate the face and neck, but canbe inserted anywhere on the body to treat skin laxity. There are many different types of PDO threads, including the popular NovaThreads.

How do beauty threads work?
The threads are placed in selected areas below the skin and provide the structural support needed to lift areas that are starting to sag, such as the lower cheeks, jawline, and neck.

In addition to anchoring the skin, threads also trigger cellular renewal, as they stimulate the production of new collagen giving the face a gentle lift, and gradually tightening the skin. The threads are absorbed about 6 months after the procedure.

The thread lift is an in-office treatment that is performed under local anesthesia, and is virtually painless. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.Results of a thread lift lasts anywhere from 9-12 months (learn more).

Beauty threads are an excellent option for men and women with moderate skin laxity.

Why Am I Experiencing Pain With Intercourse?

Intercourse is meant to be pleasurable and not cause any discomfort, but if you find that it has become painful, it’s important to visit your doctor to find out why. So during your consultation be sure to ask your physician this question directly – why am I experiencing pain with intercourse.

It could be vulvodynia. Pain with intercourse, is one of the most notable symptoms of vulvodynia. The pain may occur at the vaginal opening, but some women experience pain in other parts of the vagina, which manifests when there is pressure during intercourse.

Signs and symptoms of vulvodynia
Vulvodynia is a condition that is marked by chronic pain at the opening of the vagina. The pain may be continuous or it may come and go. Although pain is the most overwhelming symptom of the condition, patients may also experience irritation, odor, and discharge.

Treating pain with intercourse
Choosing the right solution for pain with intercourse will depend on the underlying cause. If it’s believed that the problem is being caused by vulvodynia, then a definitive diagnosis can be made with the help of a vaginal fluid analysis (VFA) test. The VFA test is available at Fowler GYN International (FGI).

FGI are specialists in vaginal healthcare and have helped thousands of women in the US get the relief they need from vulvodynia. FGI formulates a customized treatment protocol for each patient, which is reviewed and revised as needed.

How to Stop Vaginal Itching?

Are you bothered by vaginal itching? If yes, it’s best to have it dealt with early, otherwise the itching and irritation may become more severe. Before deciding on a treatment plan to stop vaginal itching, it’s necessary to have the condition accurately diagnosed, so that the underlying cause is identified.

What causes vaginal itching?
Vaginal itching can be caused by a variety of factors including yeast and bacterial infections, but if these have been investigated and the problem persists, the condition may be due to vulvar contact dermatitis.

Vulvar contact dermatitis is a skin condition that occurs as a result of exposure to chemicals or allergens that irritate the skin of the external genitalia. It is characterized by itching and burning of the vagina, in the absence of an infection.

The irritants may be due to external or internal factors. External factors typically include feminine hygiene products, body shampoos, body soaps, and lotions. Internal factors relate to changes in the vaginal microflora.

How to stop vaginal itching
Vaginal itching can be annoying and uncomfortable, but it is very treatable. In cases where vaginal itching is caused by irritants, patients are advised to start using hypocontactant skin care products only.

The team at Fowler GYN International (FGI) has developed a line of skin care products known as the FeminaRx SkinCare collection, which is specially formulated for sensitive external genitalia.

However, if vaginal itching is caused by an altered vaginal microflora pattern, it will first be necessary to identify the vaginal components, and then customize a treatment plan to restore normality to the microflora. This is discovered by a Vaginal Fluid Analysis Test developed by Fowler Gyn International.

Contact Fowler GYN International, Paradise Valley, AZ for help. FGI is headed by board certified gynecologist Dr. R. Stuart Fowler. You can reach them at www.fowlergyninternational.com, or by calling (480) 420-4001.

Laser vaginal rejuvenation treatments are now all the buzz, and, many women are choosing to have the procedure done to correct intimate concerns. Vaginal rejuvenation is commonly done to address issues such as vaginal dryness and urinary incontinence. But what’s the procedure like, and how many laser vaginal rejuvenation treatments will you need.

Why choose laser vaginal rejuvenation
Childbirth and hormonal changes as a result of aging can affect the tissues of the vagina and lead to problems such as dryness, pain with intercourse, stress urinary incontinence, and laxity.

Laser vaginal rejuvenation revitalizes the vaginal tissues and corrects these concerns. The treatments are quick, and there is usually no downtime, so patients can resume normal activities immediately. However, they are generally advised to wait at least 3 days before having intercourse or using a tampon.

How many laser vaginal rejuvenation treatments will you need
Although most patients notice some improvement in symptoms after their initial vaginal rejuvenation treatment, it typically requires multiple sessions to achieve optimal results.

Effective laser vaginal rejuvenation technologies like FemiLift require at least 3 sessions to get the best results, however, there are times when additional treatments may be needed. Sessions are spaced 4 weeks apart. A touch up treatment may be required after 12 months to maintain results.

FemiLift is a non-surgical vaginal laser treatment that uses fractional CO2 energy to rejuvenate the vaginal tissue, and tone the vaginal canal. This tightens the vagina, increases lubrication, and improves stress urinary incontinence.
