While some women choose to have breast augmentation surgery in the hopes of having larger breasts, others may feel like their breasts are too large and choose to have them reduced for cosmetic or health-related reasons. The weight of large breasts not only causes pain in areas such as the back, shoulders, upper arms, and neck, but may also result in chronic rashes or skin infections and make exercise difficult or get in the way of your lifestyle and cause you to be less active. Carrying all of that weight on your upper body takes a toll. In fact, studies have […]

After spending plenty of time in the outdoors, your skin may be weathered—and you’re likely looking for ways to give it a smoother and more refreshed appearance. Over-the-counter products can help, but at-home care can only do so much for skin that is uneven and lined. Patients often find facial fillers from our Milwaukee-area practice to be one of the best methods for addressing etched-in wrinkles develop after too much sun exposure damages collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. There are also resurfacing options that can reduce fine lines, as well as uneven texture, spots, and more problems associated with UV […]

If, like many people, you’re mostly satisfied with your overall appearance—aside from a few areas of fat that you can’t seem to lose, whether genetics, hormones, or your natural body type simply make you prone to carrying more fat in these areas—there’s a way of finally getting rid of the extra volume for good. No exercise, dieting, or more invasive plastic surgery are required. The idea of being able to zap away some stubborn, excess fat from any isolated area where you don’t want it has been very appealing to both women and men ever since advances in technology have […]

Plenty of major changes occur and our lives often get busier once school is back in session. We often take on more difficult work projects during this time of year, as well as start preparing for the hectic holiday season. Aside from the days becoming shorter and leaves turning orange and red, our skin also goes through a transition. It’s difficult for the skin to adjust to the colder, drier weather along with the indoor heating that can strip even more moisture away. Not to mention, your complexion will often still be recovering from all of the sun exposure you […]

During the transition from summer to fall, patients often search for cosmetic treatments that will undo the damage our skin is subjected to during the hotter months. Everything from sun, sand, and sea to chlorinated pools, dirt, pollution, dryness, oily skin due to the high temperatures and humidity, and the rashes or allergies from exposure to the outdoors while camping or hiking can leave our skin in a damaged state by the time summer is over. If you’re hoping to reverse wrinkles, fine lines, dry and flaky skin, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and other physical changes to the skin, laser skin treatments […]

If you’re having facial fillers from our Milwaukee-area injectors, remember that the results will be long-lasting, but temporary. All facial fillers are eventually metabolized by the body, with the added volume gradually receding over time. Regardless of what type of filler they’ve had—whether Juvéderm®, Restylane®, RHA®, or something else—patients will eventually have to have additional injections to maintain the skin-smoothing and facial-contouring effects they enjoy. The duration of results varies depending on the filler used, the injection site, the severity of the condition being treated, and the individual person, since everyone metabolizes fillers at different rates. As the filler is broken down, the […]

The changeover from winter to spring to summer often leaves many people with a worn-out-looking, blotchy complexion as the humidity increases, temperatures go up, and we make other lifestyle changes that forces our skin to adapt to new conditions. People can often have inflamed acne flare-ups when the seasons change suddenly and rapidly. More water is lost from the skin during warmer months, resulting in irritation and dryness, but the skin also increases its production of sweat and oil, causing acne breakouts to be more likely when you’re exposed to hotter, sunnier weather. Additionally, increased sun exposure may cause hyperpigmentation […]

If you’ve found yourself thinking, “Would I ever get plastic surgery in the future?” one of the important things to consider is when you’ll have enough time to fit it into your schedule. After a procedure, such as eyelid surgery from our Milwaukee-area team, patients spend up to two weeks in recovery. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, more people have been taking the opportunity to finally have self improvement procedures that they’ve been putting off for a long time. There are various reasons behind this, including the fact that people have had a built-in excuse to heal at home in private or […]

Whether you’re self-conscious about laugh lines around the mouth or wish your lips were slightly poutier or your cheeks a little more sculpted, fillers can restore your confidence by adding volume and lift to the skin. Before you have dermal fillers in the Milwaukee area (or anywhere), chances are good that you’ve done your research online to get to know more about them—and have seen plenty of rumors about what to expect from the injections. With all of the different opinions out there, it can be difficult to know what’s true and what’s false. We’re setting the record straight on […]

Patients who are having breast augmentation at our Lake Country practice should be aware that breast implants are durable devices—but they unfortunately don’t last forever. We recommend that implants be removed or replaced if complications have occurred or the patient wants to make a cosmetic change. The appearance of your breasts will continue to change in subtle or more dramatic ways due to aging, weight fluctuations, hormonal shifts, and the effects of gravity. Aging also causes the internal composition of the breasts to be altered, resulting in more fatty tissue and stretched-out skin. This is completely normal—especially after the age of […]
