Breast Augmentation

Bikini season is upon us and everyone wants to look their best. Dr. Gary Williamson can help. We offer a state of the art surgery center right here in our office at Augusta Aesthetic Surgery. We use Mentor gel implants to enhance your breast. A breast augmentation can:

•Increase fullness and projection of your breasts
•Improve the balance of your figure
•Enhance your self-image and self-confidence

A breast augmentation will not help with sagging breast. If you have sagging breast, a breast lift, known as mastopexy, may be necessary to correct sagging and loss of fullness.

We offer a free consultation and can determine if you need a lift in addition to an augmentation.

Vaser Liposuction

VASERlipo

Precision Body Contouring

If you’ve struggled with weight gain, and exercise and diet just haven’t given you the dramatic transformation you’d like, VASERlipo™ can help. VASERlipo uses a precise, minimally invasive liposuction technology that produces eye-catching results in just one procedure without the discomfort and long recovery times of typical liposuction treatments. The procedure is tissue-selective, targeting fat while protecting other tissues from damage. It’s powerful enough to eliminate substantial areas of fat but gentle enough to treat delicate areas such as the neck and arms. VASERlipo is clinically proven to produce even results in treated areas, leaving your skin smooth and your body beautiful.

Key benefits of VASERlipo:
Single procedure results with speedy recovery times
Improved body contouring over traditional liposuction
Easily removes large amounts of stored fat
Smoothes skin even in delicate areas like the arms and neck
Refines and accentuates appearance of muscles

Surgery following excessive weight loss

If you have had excessive weight loss, the skin and tissues often lack elasticity and cannot conform to the reduced body size.  As a result, skin that has been severely stretched now is unsupported.  Surgical body contouring following major… weight loss improves the shape and tone of your underlying tissue that supports fat and skin, and removes excess sagging fat and skin.  The result is a more normal appearance to the body, with smoother contours.  This is, in essence, the final phase of your total weight loss experience.  Please call today for your free consultation and see how body contouring can help you reach your goals.

LIPOSUCTION

Despite good health and a reasonable level of fitness, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits.  These areas may be due to family traits rather than a lack of weight control or fitness.  Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours and proportion, and ultimately enhancing your self-image.  These techniques may be used to reduce localized fat deposits of the thighs, hips and buttocks, abdomen and waist, upper arms, back, inner knee, chest area, cheeks, chin and neck, and calves and ankles.

MICRODERMABRASION

What are microdermabrasion treatments?

Microdermabrasion treatments are a non-surgical way to freshen and rejuvenate the skin on your face. 

A less aggressive approach than dermabrasion, microdermabrasion treatments make use of a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand the skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer.

This type of skin rejuvenation is used to treat light scarring, discoloration and sun damage and there’s even microdermabrasion for stretch marks.

Imagine a very fine sand blaster and you’ll get a picture of how microdermabrasion works. It uses microparticles, or a diamond-tipped wand, to slough off the top layer (epidermis) of your skin and stimulate new skin growth.

The technique also helps to thicken your collagen, which results in a younger looking complexion.  Collagen is a protein in your skin that’s abundant when you’re a child and makes skin appear taut and smooth. Collagen production declines as we age, resulting in looser, uneven skin.

There is almost no discomfort in microdermabrasion, meaning you won’t need a topical or local anesthetic and there is no recovery or downtime.

OBAGI NU-DERM – Transforming aging skin

What is the Obagi Nu-Derm system?  Throughout our lives we all experience occasional sunburn, regular sun exposure, hormonal changes, stress and environmental pollution.  All these factors contribute to the signs of premature aging.  The Nu-Derm System has been formulated to improve the signs of aging at the CELLULAR level.

The common signs of photodamage and aging are age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, rough skin, skin laxity (sagging), erythema (redness), sallowness (uneven, dull complextion), and hyperpigmentation (discoloration).

In order to transform your skin back to a healthy glow, the Nu-Derm System increases cellular turnover and new skin cells surface.  The stratum corneum receives essential hydration to plump and nourish the skin.  Keratinocytes are repaired and epidermal cells become more uniform.  Melanocytes are regulated and the skin coloration appears more even.  Collagen formation is boosted for stronger more resilient skin with fewer lines and wrinkles.

To purchase the Nu-Derm System, call our office today.  To learn more about the line of Obagi products, visit www.obagi.com

 

 

WHAT IS BREAST LIFT SURGERY?

What is breast lift surgery?

Breast lift, technically called mastopexy, is surgery that raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour.

Enhancing your appearance with a breast lift

A woman’s breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. These changes and loss of skin elasticity can result from:

  • Pregnancy
  • Breastfeeding
  • Weight fluctuations
  • Aging
  • Gravity
  • Heredity

Sometimes the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift will reduce this as well. A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is youthful and uplifted.

What breast lifts don’t do

Breast lift surgery does not significantly change the size of your breasts or round out the upper part of your breast. If you want your breasts to look fuller, consider breast lift and breast augmentation surgery. If you want smaller breasts, consider combining breast lift and breast reduction surgery.
