Fall in Love with the Fall Specials at Star Plastic Surgery

, , ,

After a less-than-normal summer, it’s hard to believe that our less-than-normal fall has arrived.

But even though the world continues to be in a strange space, we’re keeping some continuity by offering our seasonal specials.

So right now is your opportunity to take advantage of the fall specials at Star Plastic Surgery. Here’s what we’re offering this year:

Surgical Procedures

For those of you who are able (or required) to keep working virtually, this is the ideal time to schedule that surgical procedure you’ve been putting off. And just imagine how great you’ll look and feel by the time the holiday party rolls around – even if it IS on Zoom.

  1. Mommy Makeover

While there’s nothing quite so rewarding as having a child, childbirth can take a serious toll on your body. So if you’re remembering those pre-child days when you had a sexy figure, why not get it back? Right now, a Mommy Makeover is $1500 off. Or, if you prefer, you can opt for free implants instead.

  1. Abdominoplasty

If you’re feeling less than confident about how your belly looks these days, we’ve got good news. During our fall specials, your abdominoplasty procedure includes two areas of free liposuction. That’s a $2500 value. So remove that excess fat and skin and tighten weakened and separated muscles to get a slimmer, tighter stomach.

  1. Breast Augmentation

Do you feel that your breasts aren’t the size or shape that fits your frame? Or is one larger than the other? Now is the time to change that! Breast augmentation will help to restore your confidence by providing a natural look that complements your body’s silhouette. And if you decide to have breast augmentation surgery with a breast lift, the procedure is $1250 off during our fall specials.

  1. Post-Bariatric Skin Removal

Did you recently lose a lot of weight? Whether from surgery or just a major lifestyle change, it’s quite an accomplishment. Yet, the result can leave excess sagging skin where there was formally fat. That’s why right now we’re offering $1500 off an Arm Lift, Body Lift, or Thigh Lift. You went to all of that effort, now take it to completion.

Nonsurgical Procedures

Though procedures of the nonsurgical variety certainly take less time and require a shorter recovery, they’re no less impactful! So consider one of the following procedures as you head into the cooler autumn months.

  1. EMsculpt

For many of us, it’s difficult to keep the abs toned and firmed – no matter how many sit-ups we attempt. But what if you could do 20,000 sit-ups in just 30 minutes? That’s precisely what EMsculpt can do for you. And all you have to do is simply lay back and relax. It’s that easy. Try it! Buy two treatments and get two free. That’s a savings of $1500.

  1. Botox

Is your skin prematurely aging? Would you like to restore a more youthful sheen? (The answer is yes.) Botox does just that. The better you feel about how you look, the more confident you’ll feel. That’s a recipe for success. And at just $10 per unit during our fall specials, you can afford a lot of confidence!

  1. Halo and BBL Combo

Regular everyday living can be tough on the skin. The sun, environmental factors, acne, and aging can take their toll on your skin. Fortunately, laser resurfacing can bring new fullness and glow to your skin. And Halo Laser Treatment is second-to-none. Right now, if you opt for Halo, you’ll receive a free BBL Forever Young treatment at the same time as your HALO procedure. That’s a savings of $500.

  1. VI Peel

Are you tired of your skin looking old and damaged, and longing for a more youthful and appealing appearance? A chemical skin peel could be just what you need. And with the revolutionary VI Peel, chemical peels are just as effective on dark skin as they have been on lighter skin. Plus, with $50 off any VI Peel during our fall specials, why pass it up?

Summer Specials at Star Plastic Surgery Won’t Last Forever

, ,

Just as quickly as summer comes and goes, so too will the summer specials at Star Plastic Surgery.

We’re talking August 31st – which is before Labor Day.

That means, essentially, that summer will actually outlast our specials. So there’s no time to waste!

What Are the Summer Specials at Star Plastic Surgery?

We’re glad you asked because you’re going to want to jump on these. Plus, any one of the following procedures would be a great way to treat yourself doing these trying times.

  1. Breast Augmentation

Move into the autumn season with the confidence that comes with fuller, more youthful appearing breasts.

Right now, breast augmentation with saline is only $4850. You can upgrade to silicone for an additional $1000. You’ll love the way you look and feel – even during that third Zoom meeting for the day.

  1. 360 Lipo

Feeling a little wary about your midsection? Have you been enjoying too many barbecues during distance visiting?

360 Lipo is an all-inclusive procedure that contours and shapes the midsection, 360 degrees around. (Hence the name.) Areas for treatment include the upper and lower abdominals, the flanks on both sides, and the lower and mid-back. During our summer specials, you can buy three areas for just $5500. That’s a savings of $2000!

  1. Augmentation with Breast Lift

Even though the weather is bound to get cooler, it’s still pretty tough to hide sagging breasts under big sweaters. Plus, wouldn’t it be nice to wear some more form-fitting clothing this winter? You can’t stay in your pajamas forever.

With that in mind, Star Plastic Surgery is offering augmentation with breast lift for $6950 through the end of August. And that includes free saline or silicone implants.

It’s time to ditch the gigantic one-size-fits-all T-shirt.

  1. Emsculpt

This revolutionary body sculpting procedure lifts and tones – without the use of surgery. In fact, this completely non-invasive procedure builds muscle and reduces fat at the same time. Intrigued? You should be. It’s the equivalent of doing 20,000 sit ups while you lie back and relax.

Right now, buy two treatments and get two treatments free. That’s a $1500 value. Plus, you’ll walk away with a noticeably more defined abdomen.

  1. Hydrafacial

Summer heat, sun, and sweat can do a job on your face. By the end of the season, your skin is ready for a deep cleaning. A Hydrafacial is the perfect solution. It’s an extremely effective way to clean and clear out your pores.

But here’s the kicker – it also hydrates the skin. The other kicker is that you can get six Hydrafacials for just $600 during our summer specials. So come on in and stock up. Your face needs love in the fall and winter too.

  1. Voluma Cheek Lift

You’ve probably heard of hyaluronic acid (HA) at this point. Just in cast you haven’t, HA is a sugar found naturally in the skin. It holds water and helps keep it hydrated and plump.

As we age, the body loses the ability to make HA. And this can lead to sunken cheeks (among other things). Fortunately, there’s the Voluma Cheek Lift. It’s the only HA filler that’s FDA-approved and the plumping effects can also last up to two years with optimal treatment- which is the only treatment we offer.

It’s quick, it’s convenient, and if you act now, you can save $500 and get 2 syringes for only $1100. That’s something to smile about.

Don’t Let These Specials Slip Away

Treat yourself to the summer specials at Star Plastic Surgery and make the most of the rest of your summer.

These offers are only good through August 31st, so contact us today to talk with one of our professionals about your options. And embrace a new you for the fall season.

What Is the Use for BOTOX® in Plastic Surgery?

, , , , ,

Unless you’re living in a bunker where you’ve been locked away since the late 1970s, you’re probably familiar with BOTOX®.

And you probably know that it’s used for wrinkles. But did you know that there are other applications for BOTOX® in plastic surgery?

Some of them might surprise you.

BOTOX® in Plastic Surgery to Treat Wrinkles

In a nutshell, BOTOX® is a toxin that blocks specific chemical signals from nerves. In cases of treating wrinkles, they are the signals that cause muscles to contract.

This makes sense because if you look in the mirror and contract the muscles of your face, you’ll see that’s where those wrinkles and crevices have formed.

When getting BOTOX® treatment for wrinkles, a tiny amount of BOTOX® is injected in the skin via a thin needle. This relaxes the facial muscles – keeping them from tensing up and accentuating the formerly visible lines.

The number of injections required varies from person to person and depends on a number of factors. But it is safe for long term use and should you decide to stop using it, there will be no negative impact on the treated areas.

Interestingly, as people started getting BOTOX® treatments for wrinkles over the years, those with migraines noticed their headaches weren’t as bad. Doctors began to study it as a potential treatment for the condition.

In the meantime, plastic surgeons started discovering other applications for botox in plastic surgery.

Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is an uncomfortable and embarrassing condition. More commonly known as excessive sweating, it can be limited to one area of the body or more generalized over large areas of the body. Whatever the case, it can have a hugely negative impact on one’s life.

In cases where it affects specific areas of the body it’s known as focal hyperhidrosis. And BOTOX® is proving to be a particularly effective treatment for it.

Just as it blocks the nerve signals responsible for muscle contraction in treating wrinkles, BOTOX® does the same for signals that cue sweating. This, in turn, stops the sweat glands from going into overdrive. It seems to be particularly effective for the underarms, though the hands, feet, scalp, groin, and other localized areas can all be treated.

The nerves regenerate in four to six months and treatment is required again. But over time, patients will be able to go longer between treatments.

Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy

Although it sounds scary, masseter muscle hypertrophy is merely the soft enlargement of the jaw muscles near the angle of the lower jaw. The enlargement is most commonly caused by clenching of the jaws, excessive chewing, age, or genetics.

Masseter muscle hypertrophy is rarely a health problem. It can be a visual problem though, as it causes the jaw line to become more square in shape. If the enlargement is too big, it can even cause facial disfigurement.

BOTOX® is used to run interference on masseter muscle hypertrophy. Injections are administered directly into the masseter muscle where the BOTOX® interferes with the neurotransmitter mechanism. This produces selective loss of muscle function and an eventual decrease in the muscle’s mass.

The procedure only takes a few minutes, but will require three to seven days before the patient experiences its full effects.

Facial Asymmetry

You’ve become accustomed to looking in the mirror and seeing your reflection. But when your reflection is flipped around, you may start to notice the asymmetries of your face. Everyone has them, to some degree.

Some cases are more noticeable than others though. In situations where the asymmetry is not major, plastic surgeons will often inject BOTOX® in the chin, cheeks, jawline, and/or lips to restore facial contours and bring balance to your face.

It’s a simple and entirely customizable process that requires almost no downtime.

Interested in What BOTOX® Can Do for You?

As time goes on, there’s a good chance that plastic surgeons will find even more ways to utilize BOTOX® in plastic surgery.

But for now, if you think you could benefit from any of the current applications, then contact us today.

The better you feel about how you look, the more confident you’ll be. And during our fall specials, BOTOX® is just $10 per unit.

At that price, you can afford a lot of confidence!

The New Generation of Chemical Peels – the VI Peel

, ,

The New Generation of Chemical Peels – the VI Peel

Chances are you’ve heard of a chemical peel. You may have even had one.

As we grow older, the unfortunate signs of aging and UV damage become apparent. Chemical peels are an effective way to bring a more youthful glow to skin that’s grown dull or is damaged.

Up until now, they haven’t been ideal for every skin type though. Particularly for those with sensitive skin or with darker pigmentation.

But the VI Peel has changed all of that.

What Is a VI Peel?

The VI Peel is one of the safest chemical peels on the market and is ideal for a wide range of skin types. It can dramatically improve the skin’s texture and tone, leaving it with a clear and radiant glow.

Using a unique blend of minerals, salicylic acid, vitamin C, phenol, retinoic acid, and TCA, the VI Peel works to safely remove damaged layers of skin and promote cellular growth. At the most basic level, this blend will help the skin to build collagen and elastin; tightening the skin, shrinking enlarged pores, and erasing fine lines and wrinkles.

But It Goes Beyond That

The VI Peel also provides stunning results to those struggling with dull or damaged skin as a result of acne, rosacea, sun damage, or melasma and other hyperpigmentation issues.

It requires no oral or IV sedation and is nearly painless. Plus, for those with darker skin types, it requires no skin preconditioning. And given that this blend is packed with vitamins and minerals, the VI Peel is far more nourishing than a traditional chemical peel.

Another benefit of the VI Chemical Peel is that it can be performed on the face or the body. It serves as a stand alone cosmetic treatment, but can also be used in conjunction with lasers, injectables, and any other aesthetic procedure.

What Can You Expect?

For a procedure that garners such amazing results, it’s a relatively quick treatment. It typically takes 30-45 minutes for the solution to be applied evenly on the skin. From there, the solution penetrates your skin in order to reach the deepest layers. Once the solution dries, it is left on for at least 4 hours while you go about your normal, day-to-day activities.

After the initial treatment, the peeling process typically takes 5-7 days from the point of application to completion. As with any chemical peel, this time will vary based on the treatment you seek. Once the process is complete though, your skin will be clear, soft, and supple with a noticeably youthful glow.

Could a VI Peel Be Right for You? 

Clear and radiant skin can be yours without the frustration of an extensive procedure with a long downtime. The VI Chemical Peel can boost your skin’s elasticity and essentially reverse the signs of aging. Plus, with $50 off any VI Peel right now during our fall specials, why pass it up?

To find out if this procedure is right for you, contact us today for a free consultation. Our highly trained experts will discuss your goals, evaluate your skin, and then create the perfect treatment plan based on that.
