Restylane is still a great product with results that can last for six months or longer.  Unlike other hyaluronic acid-based products, such as those made from rooster combs, Restylane® is non-animal-based. This minimizes any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction.  Restylane® lasts twice as long as collagen, so treatments are typically scheduled twice a year. Evidence shows that having a touch-up treatment before the product has fully dissipated will enhance the lasting effect.

A tummy tuck and some type of breast surgery are the most basic piece of the Mommy Makeover.  Breast surgeries can include breast augmentation or breast lift.  Many patients choose to include liposuction as well, to refine their curves or remove stubborn fat deposits left by fluctuating hormones. Liposuction is often used to further enhance the results of a surgical procedure.

Otoplasty typically involves bringing an ear that  is perceived as overly far from the side of the head closer to the head. The upper portion of the ear is typically treated by increasing the amount of folding of the cartilage by using a suture technique. The middle third of the ear is typically  adressed by manipulating the conchal bowl (the  cup shaped part of the ear). The  goal of the procedure should be  a balanced appearance.

the difference in dimensions between a  175 moderate  profile implant and a 180  high profile implant  are relatively small.

175 projection   3.3       diameter  9.9

180 projection  3.8         diameter 9.6

 If your breast /  rib cage is large enough to accommodate 

the wider you can balance your goals of projection versus width

A higher profle  implant can be helpfull in situiations in which the desired implant volume would  be overly wide as compared to the width of the chest.  The high profile implant is narrower in diameter  and has more projection than the same volume moderate profile implant
