Women who have lost volume and/or laxity in their breasts due to pregnancy and/or aging often turn to cosmetic plastic surgery in order to reverse sagging. The most commonly requested procedure is breast lift surgery, which elevates the breasts to a higher position on the chest wall and removes excess skin and tissue. Recently a new technique has been introduced that is termed the “NaturaBra Breast Lift,” which uses the patient’s own tissue to hold the new position and shape in place. In this procedure, the surgeon uses the breast tissue to create an internal bra for the patient, which essentially lifts the breasts and produces a more youthful appearance.

A Dallas breast enlargement specialist, David E. Morales, M.D. performs breast lift surgery at his practice. He offers patients three variations in the procedure, which include a simple nipple lift, moderate lollipop lift, and anchor lift for those with significant drooping. Based on the patients anatomy and desired outcome, a personalized surgical plan is created. Dr. Morales typically utilizes the patient’s own dermis (second layer of skin) to help hold the new breast shape and placement. This is very similar to what is done in the NaturaBra lift, which produces an internal bra.

If you would like further information regarding the breast lift procedure, you may browse Dr. Morale’s website. An appointment may also be scheduled in order to discuss your options.

Allergan, Inc., a breast implants manufacturer and worldwide leader in the body rejuvenation industry, is reemphasizing assurance in women considering breast augmentation to be highly informed before their first plastic surgery consultation by introducing The Natrelle™ Pre-Consultation Kit. It is an answer for both women starting out, and plastic surgeons that want the right information in the hands of prospective patients.

The kit is a thorough, thoughtful and elegant package for every woman starting the process of achieving a new body image through breast augmentation. It is an intimate, at-home preparation for face-to-face consultations with plastic surgeons, and an ideal resource for patients to set a size goal. The Natrelle™ Pre-Consultation Kit was developed with the help of two of America’s most prominent plastic surgeons, who participated in the kit’s orientation video featuring an informative actual breast exam.

Mr. Jeffrey Moore of communications firm 3v07, and director/producer for the program, established that the Natrelle™ Pre-Consultation Kit’s primary driver must be an elegant approach for selecting what size implant each patient would like to set as their goal.

“This is such a personal, life-long decision that it is hard to believe that until this Natrelle™ Pre-Consultation Kit many women would set a goal for their new profile by filling plastic sandwich bags with rice or hair gel to get an idea of what size they would like to be. A search of the Internet turns up one resource after another recommending this process. At best, some may take 20 minutes in a doctor’s office to determine their goal. Our first principal in development of the kit was to assure that size selection is now a personal, fun, at home experience women could take their time with.” Mr. Moore goes on to say, “The Natrelle™ Pre-Consultation Kit size selection experience is elegant and complete. Women are provided with a beautiful bra and 4 different breast implant-like sizers to assure they are comfortable with their breast enhancement before starting the process. This is a great solution for both women and their doctors.”

Contemporary research clearly shows that practicaly every woman begins her path to breast augmentation by doing some form of research on the web. With the decision to offer this kit prominently through web services offered by Allergan and Natrelle™ patients can be empowered to approach their initial consultation confidently. The kit provides an excellent look at the initial consultation and covers each topic a woman will discuss with her doctor, giving her the perspective to make informed decisions. This includes styles of breast implants, incision choices and profile choices.

The Natrelle™ Pre-Consultation Kit features a DVD orienting patients to the process of getting a new profile, a discussion brochure for the information they will cover with their Plastic Surgeon and a breast sizing system with a special brassiere and trial implants. The kit also includes a $50 rebate for Natrelle™ gel implants and $120 in savings on the Allergan aesthetic products BOTOX® Cosmetic (botulinum toxin type A), JUVEDERM™, LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03%.

The Natrelle™ Pre-Consultation Kit is $39.95 and available to patients only via the Internet at www.Natrelle.com starting April 1, 2009.

One of the UK’s largest cosmetic surgery providers, The Harley Medical Group, have released new figures that reveal 75% of women who have had a Breast Augmentation procedure in the last six months opted to go up just one or two cup sizes.

The new figures reflect the less-is-more attitude now taken by many celebrities, with many women now opting for a more natural look.

The new sort of breast augmentation patients, keen to keep things in proportion, are going for the “lower profile implant” in favor of two other available breast implant shapes – the “contoured” breast implants, which are designed to reflect the slope of the breast and the “round high profile”, which produces a more rounded appearance to the upper breast.

The Brittish medical group also reveals that breast enlargement remains the most popular of all cosmetic surgery procedures, making up 30% of all procedures across its 23 clinics.

“The ‘Boob Job’ has always been the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure we perform. These days women come to us looking for a natural result, not a look-at-me statement d colletage, which can sometimes cause too much attention. Contrary to popular belief, most cosmetic surgery patients want to fit in – not stand out!” according to Liz Dale, Director of The Harley Medical Group.
