While eyelid lift is a safe and proven plastic surgery procedure, many patients want to avoid surgery in a delicate area involving the eyes. Such patients have an opportunity to have non-surgical cosmetic eyelid treatment at MBody. The procedure may combine multiple non-surgical techniques according to the patient’s specific needs.
MBody, led by board certified plastic surgeons, provides non-surgical eyelid treatment to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and surrounding communities.

Personalized Eye Rejuvenation

Dermal Fillers
As a first step, the expert will precisely inject FDA-approved, hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers such as Restylane and Belotero Balance into the targeted area under the eye. The goal will be to mitigate the sagging look, dark circles and under eye puffiness, while enhancing the mid-face contours at the same time.
PRP Therapy
The second step will involve a cutting PRP therapy for eyelid rejuvenation. The treatment provider will draw a small amount of blood from the patient’s body, and purify and separate it using the FDA-approved Harvest SmartPrep system. This will allow the provider to separate the maximum amount and quality of PRP growth factors.
The PRP growth factors will be precisely injected into the delicate areas underneath the eye to trigger skin repair and rejuvenation from the inside and promote the formation of new collagen and blood vessels. The entire procedure can be completed as an in-office treatment using only a topical numbing cream at the injection site for patient comfort.
Recovery and Results
Mild bruising and swelling may occur for some time, but it will fade away on its own. Most patients will be able to go back to their regular routine immediately. The improvement in dark circles and under eye bags can be seen readily and the results will continue to improve over the next two to three months, particularly as the body accomplishes its natural healing process triggered by the PRP injections. Results with this treatment may last for up to two years in some cases.

Infini RF Treatment

Fine lines around the eyes and mild skin laxity in the area can be corrected with the non-invasive, radio frequency (RF) energy based treatment called Infini by Lutronic. Infini RF treatment may be performed independently or in conjunction with other eyelid rejuvenation non-invasive techniques. RF energy will restore volume to the depleted tissues to firm and smooth the skin around the eyelid area.

One of the key elements of an attractive face is a strong and proportionate chin. An ample chin can help to create symmetry, add definition and bring balance to facial features. Chin augmentation can be performed using chin implant plastic surgery, but not every patient may be prepared for a surgical procedure. Patients who want to avoid surgery may consider non-surgical chin augmentation using Radiesse dermal filler.
People with a moderately recessive or undermined chin may be good candidates for non-surgical chin augmentation. Sometimes a patient may choose this procedure as a prelude to chin augmentation surgery. MBody, led by board certified plastic surgeons, provides non-surgical chin augmentation to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and surrounding communities.

Procedure

To perform chin augmentation without involving plastic surgery, the treatment provider may use Radiesse facial filler injections. This procedure can be performed in-office in a single treatment session lasting less than 20 minutes, and the patient can simply return to their normal routine after the treatment. The provider will apply a local anesthetic injection or a topical numbing cream to the targeted area of injections around the chin.
Radiesse filler gel will be administered through a very small needle or a micro cannula in the marked areas of the chin. The gel will reach the deeper skin layers to add volume and projection to the chin. Radiesse filler gel is composed of calcium microspheres, which do not disintegrate easily. Therefore, the patient can enjoy longer lasting results with Radiesse than with many other filler injections.

Recovery and Results

Chin augmentation effects with a single Radiesse injectable treatment can last for up to one year. Some patients may have to receive touch up treatments at six-month intervals. The patient will experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and post-treatment bruising will be low. Swelling may last for two to three days after the procedure.
Radiesse injectable chin enhancement procedure will avoid the typical risks and complications that are associated with a chin implant surgery. Common problems such as infection and scar tissue are avoided with Radiesse chin augmentation procedure. This FDA approved treatment is highly safe as long as it is performed by a qualified and experienced dermal filler provider.

Customized Treatment

Each patient has a unique facial anatomy and chin appearance. At the same time, the aesthetic perspectives and requirements will also vary from one patient to another. Therefore, an experienced Radiesse chin augmentation treatment provider will create a customized injection plan after taking various factors into account.
In some cases, Radiesse chin augmentation may be combined with other injectable fillers such as Juvederm Voluma. Chin and nose are often addressed together to maintain facial balance. Botox or filler injections may be used for the nose to create the right balance between the nose and the chin.
Experienced plastic surgeons at MBody receive patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and nearby areas for Radiesse non-surgical chin augmentation.

The patient should arrange for a family member or friend or another responsible person to drive them back home after the butt augmentation surgery.
The patient should ideally arrange for aftercare for a few days until the initial soreness, bruising and swelling subsides.
Leave from the workplace should be applied in advance because the patient will require at least one week of rest at home after the surgery.
If the patient has little children, she may consider hiring a nanny or ask for help from a friend to look after them.
Adequate sleep and rest is important in the days preceding the surgery, and particularly on the night before the surgery.
The surgeon may prescribe iron supplements to boost the patient’s healing ability.
It is recommended for the patient to go over the post-op care instructions and any last-minute questions may be asked before the surgery.

The pre-operative consultation for fat transfer buttock augmentation plastic surgery is a critical part of the overall procedure. It will involve confirming the patient’s candidacy for this surgery, addressing the patient’s doubts and concerns, and developing a customized surgical plan.
Board certified plastic surgeons at MBody provide fat transfer buttock augmentation to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and surrounding communities.

Preparing for Consultation

Some advance preparation will help to ensure a more successful consultation. The patient should:

Arrange for their medical records, including information about chronic conditions, allergies, and weight fluctuations, to reach the surgeon’s office.
Discuss with the insurance company whether a part of the butt augmentation costs may be covered by them. If so, they may carry the relevant documentation to the consultation with the surgeon.
Prepare a list of all prescription and non-prescription drugs and supplements for a review by the surgeon and to make any adjustments in their schedule.
Compile a list of questions that the patient may like to ask from the surgeon during the initial consultation about fat transfer buttock augmentation plastic surgery.
Collect photos from magazines or websites to represent how the patient would like their posterior to appear after the surgery.

During the Appointment

At the time of the appointment, the plastic surgeon will typically perform the following tasks:
Assess the Lower Body and Midsection
The surgeon will examine the overall figure of the patient, particularly the hips, buttocks and the abdomen. They will look for the appropriate sites where liposuction can be performed to extract surplus fat.
The overall body shape and proportion will be assessed to determine the right technique for fat transfer butt augmentation in order to create proportionate, natural looking results. The patient will also have the opportunity to point out their specific problem areas and discuss their personal cosmetic goals.

Health Evaluation
The surgeon will review the medical records to determine any potential risks that may arise during or after the surgery. If the patient needs to gain a certain amount of weight or adjust lifestyle habits such as quitting smoking at least for a certain period, the surgeon will advise these goals along with a timeframe.
The surgeon may order a few medical tests, if necessary. Current medications may be adjusted in consultation with the patient’s primary care physician.

Developing Expectations
The surgeon will present fat transfer buttock augmentation before and after photographs to help the patient to form realistic expectations. The current state of the buttocks will also be photographed with the patient’s consent for comparison with the new figure achieved after the surgery.

The popularity of fat transfer buttock augmentation plastic surgery stems from the fact that the procedure is less invasive and less risky because it utilizes the patient’s own body tissue. However, the patient should still be aware of the potential risks and complications in order to make an informed choice.
MBody, led by board certified plastic surgeons, provides fat transfer buttock augmentation to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, and other areas that are not named in this part of Virginia.

Liposuction Risks

Once the fat has been extracted for transfer to the buttocks, the chance of complications is minimal because the fat is all natural. A skilled surgeon will be able to delicately recontour and lift the buttocks using fat transfer.
But the risk of complications mainly exists at the time of liposuction for fat extraction. If performed incorrectly, it could lead to fluid collection, skin discoloration, skin irregularities, scabbing, dryness, and fat reabsorption.

Other Potential Risks

Just like any plastic surgery procedure, fat transfer buttock augmentation carries certain risks:

Infection

The surgical facility and the surgical instruments must be properly sterilized to minimize the risk of infection during surgery. The injection sites should be protected against dirt for a few days after the procedure. If the patient experiences persistent pain, redness, fever, foul smell or green or yellow drainage, they should promptly get in touch with the surgeon.

Unfavorable Scarring

In case of fat transfer buttock augmentation, the scarring is usually minimal. But if the injections are placed incorrectly or larger incisions are used for liposuction, it could create more conspicuous scarring. A skilled plastic surgeon will almost always be able to avoid this risk.

Fat Reabsorption

During fat transfer butt augmentation, some of the injected fat may get reabsorbed, which could diminish the results. Reabsorption can be minimized when the patient avoids putting pressure on the buttocks for about two weeks, and wears compression garment full-time during this period. Placement of smaller injections into diverse sites of healthy tissue will also help to improve absorption.

Seroma or Fluid Accumulation

Accumulation of blood and fluids underneath the incision areas can create more swelling and increase the risk of infection. Proper incision care and correct use of drain tubes will significantly reduce the risks of seroma. If this condition develops, the surgeon will suction out the accumulated serous fluid.

Excessive Bleeding

Poor healing, improperly sutured wounds, or anticoagulant drugs may cause the wounds to bleed excessively. The patient should avoid vigorous activities in the first few weeks after buttock augmentation to minimize bleeding risks.

Tissue Necrosis

In a few cases, tissue modification can inadvertently limit their blood and nutrition supply, resulting in tissue death. Skin imperfections, stiffness and discoloration may occur due to this cell destruction. The tissue affected by necrosis may have to be surgically removed.

Prolonged Numbness

Some loss of sensation following fat transfer buttock augmentation is normal, and the sensitivity will gradually return on its own. However, if nerve damage has occurred during the surgery, it may lead to prolonged or permanent numbness in the affected area.
MBody receives patients from Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, and other parts of Northern Virginia that do not have official names for fat transfer buttock augmentation.
