Why Glastonbury Plastic Surgery Is Important

The importance of plastic surgery cannot be understated. Plastic surgery can be a life changer. It can give you the body of your dreams. When performed by an expert plastic surgeon, plastic surgery can provide you with your desired appearance while boosting your well being and improving the overall quality of your life.

Plastic surgery can be done for a variety of reasons:

  • To correct deformities on any part of the body or face
  • To improve the appearance of specific body parts
  • To revitalize and rejuvenate the skin

Ask yourself why you want to have the surgery and what it is you are hoping to achieve. Discuss your goals with your plastic surgeon before having any plastic surgery procedure.

Prepare Yourself for the Procedure

Whatever the plastic surgery procedure you’re considering, it is important to prepare yourself physically and mentally for the procedure. Before undergoing any surgical procedure you should understand the risks and potential health complications that may result from the procedure.

Here are some things to consider before having plastic surgery:

  • Surgery is not generally recommended for patients with high blood pressure, heart problems, a weakened immune system, obesity, diabetes or depression
  • Prepare for your surgery by maintaining a healthy diet
  • Don’t smoke and stay away from drugs and alcohol
  • Limit your caffeine intake
  • Stop taking any over the counter medications temporarily
  • Have rational expectations about the results of the surgery
  • Find out how long the recovery period is for the procedure and how much downtime to expect
  • You will want to consider the cost of the procedure since most plastic surgery procedures are not covered by insurance
  • How long will the results last?
  • Are there any risks?

Risks and Complications

Although serious complications are rare, scarring and bruising are common following a plastic surgery procedure. Other issues you may encounter include tissue damage, numbness, infection, and bleeding.

FAQs on Breast Implants

Breast Implants in Glastonbury, CTAre you considering breast augmentation for fuller, more alluring breasts?  This procedure can have fantastic results, but most patients have multiple questions regarding the different options for implants, costs, and maintenance before getting breast implants.  Here are the answers to a few frequently questions.

  1. What is the difference between saline and silicone breast implants?

Silicone breast implants are silicone shells filled with silicone gel—a sticky, thick liquid.  They mimic the look and feel of natural breasts, and they are also less likely to cause rippling or wrinkling around the skin.  In the event of a tear, the gel stays in the capsule and will not travel throughout the body, so the breasts maintain their shape.  Silicone breast implants have been FDA approved since 2006.

Saline implants are silicone shells filled with salt water, and they come in many different shapes and sizes.  If saline implant ruptures, the body will harmlessly absorb the saline.

  1. What is the cost of breast implants?

It is important to understand that the total cost of getting breast implants includes more than just the cost of the procedure itself.  The cost for a breast augmentation with silicone implants is approximately $7,900 and the cost for saline implants is approximately $6,900.  This price includes the doctor’s fee, anesthesia, facility, taxes and follow-up visits for the year

  1. Do I have to exchange my implants every 10 years?

No.  However, at some point in your life, you will more than likely need to get your breast implants exchanged.  If there are no problems and you continue to get regular check-ups after your procedure, your implants can last for many years.

Ready to start planning your procedure?  For more information about your breast augmentation, contact Dr. Harold E. Beam, an accomplished plastic surgeon serving Glastonbury and surrounding areas.  Call 860-226-6502 to schedule a consultation appointment.

Liposuction performed by Dr. Harold E. Beam provides those in Glastonbury and the surrounding areas with a new outlook on life.

Why Choose Liposuction?

If you have met or are close to your weight loss goals after dieting, exercising and changing your life style, yet still have stubborn pockets of fat that do not seem to go away no matter how hard you try, you could notice the following benefits from undergoing liposuction:

  • Improved self-esteem – By eliminating problem areas through liposuction, you’ll feel more confident, and won’t be nearly as worried about throwing on that “little black dress.”
  • Better body proportions – Many trouble spots including the thighs, abdomen, and buttocks can be eliminated through liposuction, giving you better overall proportions. As a result, you are more likely to be satisfied with your shape.
  • Lowered fat production – Liposuction actually removes fat cells, which cannot be reproduced by your body once they are eliminated. Your remaining fat cells may increase in size, but should not return to the area from which they were originally removed but you still have to a healthy diet and exercise.

Liposuction and Exercise: Working Together to Ensure your Best Body
