Is It Important to Wear a Bra With Your Breast Implants?

I repeatedly emphasize to our patients that good bras are important or the breasts will sag. If they wear the bras and have support all the time, particularly for the first year when the scar is forming around the breast implant, often the breasts will be just as perky five years later as when the breast implant is placed. However, especially if the breast implant is a large one, the patient will have unpleasant, unnatural, and unsightly sagging of the breast. Here’s an example where the patient, in spite of all my admonitions, is wearing a very lightweight bra, at only two months after breast implant surgery. We recommended to her that she consider a heavier bra like the Bali Minimizer bra, and as always we told her to continue on her fish oil and Vitamin E indefinitely in order to keep her breasts soft.

Liposuction For Men - Six-Pack Abs

Did you know that you could have sculpted abdominal muscles from your liposuction procedure? There are new options available that can give you a chance to look your best. Dr. Yoho specializes in removing all the possible fat from this “six-pack” area of the abdomen and also injecting a little bit of fat in each square of your “six-pack.” This fat tends to be retained and creates a bulging muscular look. While the recovery takes a little longer than with ordinary liposuction, the results can be stunning. Additionally, we make a special effort to suction the fat from the creases of your abdominal muscles, thus creating more definition. Feel free to schedule a complimentary consultation about this exciting new procedure.

Fresno, CA Area Chin Liposuction Improves Sleep Apnea

We received a thank you letter from a happy patient, part of which follows. I cut out all the detail about our excellent service and so on, but the interesting thing was that the chin liposuction improved her sleep apnea. I have seen this several times, and it seems to be related to our practice of removing fat under the muscle as well as above the muscle of the under-chin area. Here it is.

"Five years ago, I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. Every night I was required to sleep with a C Pap machine to assist with my snoring and breathing. This was becoming very cumbersome and uncomfortable, not to mention it's a bulky piece of equipment. My job requires that I travel and carrying this machine was beyond an inconvenience, it was a nightmare. Dr.Yoho suggested that I consider having Chin Lipo to help my sleep apnea. I figured that I had nothing to loose and possibly lots to gain by having my chin done. I also decided to have full torso lipo with fat transfer to my buttocks.

On the morning of the surgery, after a few minor preparations, I met with Dr.Yoho who went over what was going to be done. We chatted for a while which made me feel comfortable and relaxed.

Since my surgery, I have not had the need to use my machine. I recently traveled out of the country for the first time after my surgery and am proud to say there was no need to travel with that extra piece of luggage. "

If you have sleep apnea it may be related to buildup of fat under the muscles of your chin. If so, you might be able to resolve this problem through a Los Angeles / Fresno area cosmetic surgery procedure. This is not a guaranteed outcome of every Fresno, CA facial liposuction procedure, but for certain patients is an added medical benefit.

Fresno, CA Area Liposuction for Large-Volume Patients

In this post I want to comment on a post from MakeMeHeal.com, about a past patient of mine.

This is one of our Los Angeles / Fresno, CA area liposuction patients who had a large volume liposuction and who was full-figured but had VERY satisfactory result. She has posted her photos on the link. If you click through this link using the password yoho, you will find over 20 of her before-and-after photos.

These larger volume liposuctions require special care and experience, and it's my belief that they should not be performed under general anesthesia, which increases the risk of the surgery. Additionally, larger-volume procedures pose increased risks for skin problems. This patient actually had a small area of skin necrosis after her surgery, but was still extremely happy with her result. She lost weight and has a shape she is very proud of, and fits in form-fitting outfits.

I went to DR. Yoho in Pasadena on 10/17. I had full torso lipo. I was amazed at the shape and body that he created. I never wanted to be thin, or skinny. I like the thick look. I like small waist, flat tummy, shapely, large thighs and rear...I think that is sexy. My goal is to fit into a 10-12.....I am nearly there now.

my pics are way to big but my pics are here...

Fresno, CA Liposuction - What is the Brazilian Butt Lift?

Cosmetic Surgery Answers
Question:
What is the "Brazilian Butt Lift"?

The 'Brazilian Butt Lift" consists of liposuction of the areas around the buttocks, usually including the area above the butt or “sacral” area and the hips and often the outer thighs. Then, sometimes, fat is transplanted into the buttocks to make them fuller. Contrary to what is said elsewhere, the fat should be transplanted into the lower two-thirds of the buttocks, not the upper two-thirds.

There are some doctors who are spinning the fat, so as to make it denser. In my experience this does not improve the result. The bottom line is that any given butt can take only so much fat in any one operation or the transplanted fat tends to cause problems like infection. Infection is a risk anyway even if everything is done to the best possible standard, but there is no reason to worsen the risk. If you have a big butt this technique can be used to make it much bigger. If you have a small butt, the Brazilian Butt Lift can only do so much.

I have been performing this Los Angeles cosmetic surgery procedure for over a decade. Results vary with the individual, with some people getting almost all the fat to “take,” making the butt more shapely. Others, such as smokers, will have very little retention of the fat. If you are a smoker, it’s probably not worth it.

There are also Fresno cosmetic surgeons who are putting implants made of silicone into the buttocks. These implants generally go under the muscle and in my opinion often cause unnatural results, with somewhat strange bulges on top of the butt (see results at other internet sites). Fat transplant methods can be repeated if the patient wants more fullness.

Note that in some cases I can also achieve very good results to lift and shape the buttocks using Fresno, CA area liposuction alone, without transplanting fat to the area. This is because, as noted above, the areas around the butt were shaped beautifully. An additional factor is that slight weight gain, or the patient stabilizing at a similar weight as before a relatively large liposuction, can produce very nice fullness of the breasts and buttocks (whether or not the patient receives a Los Angeles breast augmentation as well), where the remaining fat tissues can grow a little. There may not be any ultimate net weight loss, but the patient sure looks a lot better, and the buttocks specifically may look much more shapely.

I have one additional note about this sort of case. It’s generally a mistake (of course there are exceptions) to liposuction the buttocks themselves. Liposuction of the area around the buttocks is best. This usually produces the most improved shape.
