Breast augmentation is the number one cosmetic surgery procedure performed in the United States today.

How to correct asymmetrical breasts

Posted by Paul Gorman on Jan 6, 2015 8:00:00 AM

Breast asymmetry is common and normal among many women, and most cosmetic surgeons will admit that they rarely encounter patients who have breasts that are perfectly and naturally symmetrical. While having asymmetrical breasts isn’t considered a genetic deformity by any means, and causes no physical harm to the body, women often want to have their breasts “fixed” so they can experience fewer problems with finding bras, bathing suits, and clothing that fit comfortably and look flattering. Breast asymmetry can become a major issue for women if one breast has a different cup size than the other.

Men and cosmetic surgery - A growing trend

Posted by Renee Marshall on Jul 22, 2014 4:24:00 PM

Some things are associated more with men than women, and vice versa. Without veering down That’s Sexist Avenue, let’s just admit that to be the case. Examples? Okay, who do you think of when you talk about watching football on Sundays. Him. There are plenty of “hers” that watch football on Sundays, too, but the natural assumption initially is “football on Sunday” = him. Conversely, sticking with TV watching habits, if one is looking for a recap of the immensely popular “The Bachelor” franchise, it’s going to be “her” that’s turned to first. Just like with football, both sexes watch “The Bachelor,” but the assumption out of the gate is that she is a better bet for info than he is. Fair? Now, when it comes to discussing and considering cosmetic procedures, the automatic association tends to be with her. Not him. Gentlemen, we’re here to tell you it’s okay for you to talk about — and consider — cosmetic procedures, too. You can watch “The Bachelor” and you can think about cosmetic surgery, too. It’s okay!

Breast Reduction - sometimes bigger isn't better!

Posted by Renee Marshall on Jan 14, 2014 4:50:00 PM

It might seem counterintuitive at first, but not everyone wants bigger breasts. For some women, in fact, it’s the opposite. Breast reduction surgery, also called reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure available to women who are looking to shrink their breast size rather than increase it. Perhaps the phrase “breast reduction” doesn’t have quite the same sex appeal to it as “breast augmentation,” but the procedure is highly effective and can be quite literally life-changing.

How it works – Your GLOW Surgical Arts cosmetic surgeon makes an incisions on your breasts, allowing for surgical removal of excess skin and tissue. For fatty tissues, liposuction can also be utilized. Once the breast tissue is removed and the incisions closed back up, you’re left with smaller, more attractive breasts.

Posted by Renee Marshall on Oct 2, 2013 1:41:00 PM

Your body is going to change as you get older. As you live life and go through different time periods and experience different events, your body is going to be affected. For each of us, what that means exactly will differ. When it comes to your breasts, it really doesn’t matter why you might come to not like the way they look or feel.
