Usher in the Warmth with Star’s Spring Specials

Are you ready for spring?

Warmer weather means shedding the heavy sweaters and coats and showing the world what you’ve got.

If what you’ve got isn’t exactly leaving you feeling confident, then you may want to consider taking advantage of Star’s spring specials.

 

Star’s Spring Specials for 2020

If you’re feeling apprehensive about donning spring clothing that reveals more of your body, you’re not alone.

We understand.

That’s precisely why we’re offering a wide array of both surgical and non-surgical procedures as part of Star’s spring specials. Take a look at our latest offerings.

 

Surgical Procedures for the Abdomen

Has winter left you with a little extra weight around the middle? Then you’re the perfect candidate for abdominoplasty – the doctorly term for a tummy tuck.

This procedure reduces excessive fat and skin around the abdomen and reconstructs the abdominal wall musculature.

Come in for a tummy tuck and receive one area of liposuction free (a $1500 value).

 

Surgical Procedures for the Breasts

If pregnancy, injury, illness or aging have left you dissatisfied with the appearance of your breasts, then it could be time for breast augmenta-tion.

Envision yourself in your spring wardrobe with fuller and younger looking breasts.

With our spring specials, breast augmentation is just $4850 with saline implants. Silicone implants are just $1000 more.

Mastopexy, or a breast lift, can be performed along with breast augmen-tation.

With this procedure, a board-certified plastic surgeon manipulates exist-ing breast tissue in order to lift and tighten your breast to reduce exces-sive sagging, drooping, and minor asymmetries.

Opt for mastopexy with augmentation and receive free implants (a $1600 value).

 

Surgical Procedures for Body Contouring

Having a baby is a miraculous event. But it definitely takes a toll on your body. A mommy makeover could be just what you need.

This combination of body contouring procedures is custom-tailored to fit your specific needs.

Right now, save $2000 on a mommy makeover.

 

Non-Surgical Procedures for the Face

The HydraFacial is an extremely effective way to clean and clear out your pores while hydrating the skin.

During our spring specials, you can get six HydraFacials for just $600.

Static wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth can easily add years to your appearance. JUVÉDERM® works to fill those lines and firm up those folds.

JUVÉDERM® treatments are now only $450 per syringe.

 

Non-Surgical Procedures for the Abdomen and Buttocks

If you haven’t tried Emsculpt yet for toning your abs and glutes, now is the time.

This technology uses non-invasive high-intensity focused electromag-netic (HIFEM) energy to implode fat cells while simultaneously building muscle. It’s like doing 20,000 sit-ups in just 30 minutes.

Right now with our spring specials, buy two Emsculpt treatments and get two free (a $1500 value).

 

Non-Surgical Procedures for Hair Removal

Whatever your winter hair removal ritual entailed, spring will demand even smoother skin. Forever Bare is a broadband light treatment that targets the hair follicles to stop further hair growth without harming the skin.

Forever Bare can be used just about anywhere on the body including the legs, arms, face, underarms, bikini area, back, and shoulders.

Forever Bare is now 20% off per area per treatment.

Could You Benefit from an Arm or Thigh Lift?

Have you experienced substantial weight loss?

Whether this weight loss was intentional or the result of some other situation, it may have left your arms and thighs drooping with excess skin.

Regardless of how much you may exercise, it just doesn’t seem to disappear.

If that sounds like you, it could be time to look into an arm or thigh lift.

 

What Is an Arm Lift?

If the skin under your arms is sagging as a result of weight loss or aging, you may feel uncomfortable wearing a wide array of cute and comfortable summer clothing.

You may even opt for long sleeves during the summer – which leave you hot and uncomfortable during those days or weeks of intense heat.

And forget about donning a bathing suit.

You may be able to ditch the long sleeves this summer and show off your arms again with an arm lift. Also known as brachioplasty, this surgical procedure removes excess fat and skin from your arms.

It can be done alone or in addition to other body contouring procedures.

 

Are You a Candidate for Brachioplasty?

If you’re a non-smoker who has maintained a stable and healthy weight, and you don’t have any medical conditions that could impair healing, you’ll want to set up a consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons.

The particulars of your arm lift will depend on your unique needs. The removal of excess fat with liposuction in conjunction with skin removal will allow the surgeon to tighten the sagging skin to the muscles of the arm.

The size of the incision and the amount of skin removed will depend on your specific body type. The surgeon will work closely with you to help ensure a desirable final outcome.

You’ll need to wear elastic bandages after the surgery to minimize swelling. As swelling subsides, results will continue to improve.

Whatever the case, it’s important to follow the surgeon’s specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal recovery.

 

What Is a Thigh Lift?

Just as substantial weight loss and aging can leave the skin under the arms droopy, so too can they impact the thighs.

When the thighs have excess skin, cellulite, or loose tissue, it can be difficult to find clothes that fit well. It’s even more difficult to find stylish clothes.

In cases such as these, many patients opt for a thigh lift.

A consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons can help to determine which type of procedure is right for you.

 

Different Types of Thigh Lifts

For optimal results, thigh lift procedures are frequently performed along with liposuction.

Our surgeons perform tumescent liposuction which is more effective, safer, and less painful than traditional liposuction. It also has a quicker recovery time. The result is almost no scarring, minimal downtime, and a drastic improvement to the silhouette.

 

Inner Thigh Lift

If you have excess loose skin or fat in your upper thighs, your surgeon may  recommend an inner thigh lift.

With this procedure, a crescent-shaped incision is made that stretches from the back of the mid-thigh to the front. The surgeon can then remove excess skin and fat to create a slimmer thigh appearance.

Scarring is minimal and can generally be hidden beneath clothing.

 

Extended Inner Thigh Lift

For those with extremely loose skin, muscles, and fat on their thighs, there is the extended inner thigh lift.

Just as the name implies, this procedure is an extended version of the inner thigh lift. Using a T-shaped or L-shaped incision, however, the surgeon is able to remove significantly more excess fat and skin.

While the scar in this case will also bear that T-shape or L-shape, any scarring can usually be concealed with clothing.

Whichever procedure your surgeon deems most appropriate for you, it will be important to follow your surgeon’s specific recovery instructions to ensure optimal outcomes.

The first two weeks of recovery, patients are advised to perform only light activities. Driving and walking for exercise can be resumed after those two weeks.

 

Bring back Defined Arms and Legs with an Arm or Thigh Lift

When diet and exercise just aren’t doing the trick, you can always turn to one of our highly trained plastic surgeons for an arm or thigh lift.

If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, you should see long-lasting results.

So that means you can enjoy your summers in comfort and with a new found confidence – year after year after year.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

 

 

You love your children and can’t imagine your life without them.

What you probably can imagine though is how great it would be to get back to your pre-pregnancy body.

For a few women, getting back to that body just requires focusing on healthy eating and exercise.

But for MANY other women, there is no amount of dieting or exercising that can beckon the return of that pre-pregnancy body.

If you’re one of the many women who have encountered this, don’t despair!

The mommy makeover was developed just for you.

 

Mommy Makeover

 

The Ravages of Pregnancy

As beautiful and miraculous as pregnancy and childbirth are, they can take a serious toll on a woman’s body.

Pregnancy and nursing render many women feeling less confident about the appearance of their bodies after childbirth.

There are a number of reasons for this. Pregnancy and nursing can result in any (or all) of the following:

  • Loss of breast volume
  • Separated abdominal muscles
  • Loose skin with stretch marks
  • Weight gain
  • Lifestyle changes

 

Women suddenly find themselves in bodies they don’t even recognize. This can be physically, mentally, and emotionally trying.

 

How a Mommy Makeover Helps

Although it might sound like you’ll be spending the afternoon at the makeup counter at the mall, a mommy makeover is really an umbrella term that refers to a combination of body contouring procedures.

And no two mommy makeovers are the same. Each procedure is custom-tailored to fit the patient’s specific needs.

You will consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will, in turn, develop an individualized plan to address your goals.

Then the chosen procedures will be completed together to improve those confidence-draining changes that have lingered after your pregnancy.

There are several procedures which the surgeon may recommend:

 

  1. Tummy Tuck

One tell-tale sign that a woman has experienced pregnancy are stretch marks on the skin. Deeper below the skin though, the abdominal muscles have often separated – leaving the belly to hang down and sag.

Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that reduces excessive fat and skin around the abdomen and reconstructs that abdominal wall musculature.

This helps to flatten the belly again and minimize the appearance of those stretch marks.

 

  1. Breast Lift/Augmentation

Breasts are prone to sagging after the demands placed upon the body during pregnancy and nursing. Surgery is performed to restore the breasts to their original and more youthful pre-pregnancy position.

Depending on your situation, the plastic surgeon might recommend a breast lift, breast augmentation, or breast lift with either silicone or saline implants.

In some cases, the breasts may become too large after pregnancy and are no longer proportionate to the body. In this case, there would be a breast reduction.

 

  1. Liposuction

For those troublesome post-pregnancy spots – typically the stomach, waist, hips, and thighs – where you just can’t seem to lose the fat, the surgeon may recommend liposuction.

With liposuction, small incisions are made in the treatment area and then a thin hollow tube, called a cannula, is inserted through the incisions to loosen excess fat cells. A surgical vacuum is then used to suction the fat out of those areas to create a slimmer body contour.

 

  1. Facial Rejuvenation

While this fourth procedure isn’t a mommy makeover “standard,” it is a terrific way to build upon the more youthful appearance that comes from the other procedures.

If the stresses of pregnancy and raising little ones is showing on your face, you’ll want to ask your surgeon about the possibility of adding a facelift or BOTOX.

 

Recovery from a Mommy Makeover

It’s important to remember that a mommy makeover is surgery.

That means that you’ll be put under anesthesia and need to allow for adequate recovery time.

When you return home, expect that you’ll have to wear compression garments to reduce swelling. This is going to ensure the most optimal results.

Also, prescription pain medication will be prescribed to help manage any discomfort.

It’s difficult to say exactly how long your recovery will take. Given that each surgery is customized to meet the individual needs of the patient, actual recovery times vary.

Most mothers are able to get back to their normal activities within two weeks of the surgery. However, strenuous activities will likely have a longer restriction time.

The final results of your mommy makeover will slowly become apparent in the weeks and months following the surgery. Swelling will subside and you’ll notice a renewed firmness and youthful appearance.

It’s important to note, however, that you’ll need to stay at a steady weight following your mommy makeover to maintain those results.

 

Are You a Good Candidate?

The answer to this question depends on a number of factors. You may be a good candidate for a mommy makeover if you:

  • are healthy and able to stabilize your weight
  • feel dissatisfaction with the changes to your body post-pregnancy
  • have realistic expectations and goals

On the other hand, if you are planning on future pregnancies, then you will need to postpone this procedure until after that final pregnancy.

Reclaim Your Figure!

A mommy makeover will give you renewed confidence in your appearance so you can focus on what really matters – spending time with your family.

Build Muscle And Blast Away Fat With EMSCULPT!

, , , , , , , , , , ,

If your anything like me then you are always busy, and sometimes that could mean neglecting things such as working out. Let’s face it, you work so hard all day and when you get home you just want to eat dinner and binge Netflix.   Going to the gym that is at least 1 hour and 30 minutes. What if you could do 20,000 crunches on your 30-minute lunch break? With the launch of EMSCULPT that is now possible.

 

So what is EMSCULPT?

 

Emsculpt is a revolutionary body contouring treatment that simultaneously burns fat and builds muscle. It’s the only non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that offers this duality.

As a result, Emsculpt can strengthen, tone, and firm the abdomen and buttocks in a way that’s not possible with exercise or other procedures.

EMSCUPLT is a NON INVASIVE procedure meaning there is no downtime at all!

What is an EMSCULPT treatment like?

Four treatments sessions are scheduled 2-3 days apart and last 30 minutes each. Through a paddle-shaped applicator, Emsculpt delivers electromagnetic energy to abdominal and gluteal muscles. In doing so, the treatment produces extremely powerful muscle contractions.

Some people say the procedure feels like an intense workout as you relax while lying down. During treatments, you will experience 20,000 contractions over 30 minutes. These contractions are involuntary, we cannot achieve these on our own (this is like doing 20,000 crunches in 30 minutes). Results are seen 2-4 weeks after the last session with optimal results improving several weeks following the last session. The ideal candidate is close to an ideal weight and is physically active, but wants more defined abs or a higher and rounder butt.

According to the website RealSelf.com, 87% of those that had EMSCULPT treatments say it’s “WORTH IT.”

Results from clinical studies show:

  • a 19% fat reduction
  • 16% increase in muscle mass,
  • an average of 1.5-inch loss in waistline circumference
  • 80% of patients reported a visible lift of buttocks
  • an overall 96% patient satisfaction.

 

This treatment is most optimal for patients who are in overall good health, physically active, are 30 BMI or under, and want to enhance where their regular exercise program plateaus.

If you’re wanting stronger and longer endurance during workouts, added core strength, better posture and experience released endorphins EMSCULPT is the procedure for you.

What Does Mommy Makeover Entail?

  • Liposuction
  • Tummy Tuck
  • Breast Augmentation
  • Breast Lift

What Does Mommy Makeover Target?

Childbearing can cause a series of changes to occur on the body. Mommy makeover targets and helps to correct the following unwanted changes;

  • Sagging or deflated breasts: this is usually due to excess skin and loss of breast volume. Breast augmentation is carried out within hours to correct this problem.
  • Diastasis recti; this is a pregnancy-like pouch that refuses to disappear even after the baby is out. It leaves redundant skin around the abdomen and causes the stomach to bulge. A tummy tuck is done to tighten the loose skin. Liposuction is done to remove the fat deposit around the lower back, thigh, upper arm, flanks, and other places.
  • Stretch marks; skin treatment is used to remove wrinkles and stretch marks to make the skin clearer and smoother.
  • Premature facial aging; facial fillers are used to treat developing lines.

Recovery time

Recovery time may vary from procedure to procedure. You will learn more at your FREE consultation with Star Plastic Surgery.

Get Bikini Ready for Summer With Star Plastic Surgery

Many of our patients have told us, they plan to spend more time at the beach during the summer months. That may be traveling up north, to any of the great lakes, south to Florida or even just sitting around the pool.  Get bikini ready for vacation with Star Plastic Surgery.

Some general tips to help are proper diet, nutrition and water intake. Eating nutrient-dense foods and getting plenty of protein can help tone and shape your body. Healthy foods may increase your metabolism, decrease the stress and inflammation that’s causing weight gain and bloating too. Filling up with healthy fats, lean proteins, and fiber helps. Shape Magazine has a great list of healthy foods you can get at your grocery store.

You also need to drink plenty of water. Most people have heard they need eight 8-ounce glasses of water  daily. How much water we need though is really based on our weight. For healthy, clear skin and to avoid dehydration, drink a half ounce to an ounce for each pound we weigh.

Getting the right amount of diet and exercise alone will not always get us the desired results. There are few women who have the naturally perfect body either. Childbirth, age and genetics affect how we look.  Sometimes cosmetic surgery procedures are the best option. Star Plastic Surgery is able to help you get the body that you want and the body that you will love.

Biking Ready Plastic Surgery Procedures

Star Plastic Surgery will help you determine the right procedure for the perfect bikini-ready body. So don’t head out on vacation without first scheduling your safe procedure. One of our talented and dedicated board-certified plastic surgeons will be able to discuss your options. Call us today at 248-735-3800 for your free consultation.

Arm Lift

Arm Lift

Factors such as weight loss and aging can cause the skin under arms to droop. This sagging skin limits clothing options, forcing patients to wear long sleeves even during brutal summer heat. Moreover, it can make wearing bathing suits uncomfortable, and limit options for evening wear. Arm lift surgery may by the solution.

The plastic surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery can perform an arm lift, or brachioplasty. The surgery removes excess fat and skin from your arms that may not respond to diet and exercise. While some patients are unsatisfied with their arms alone, others may benefit from the procedure in addition to other body contouring procedures. Our surgeons work closely with patient goals to help ensure the desirable final outcomes.

Liposuction

Our surgeons perform the gold standard of liposuction techniques by removing the maximum amount of fat with the highest degree of safety. Large deposits of fat in the thighs, abdomen, chest, arms, buttocks, and neck are often unresponsive to diet and exercise. In fact, some deposits of fat may remain even with a strenuous exercise routine and leave you feeling awkward and self-conscious.

Over the years, the procedure has developed into one of the most popular forms of plastic surgery. Our board certified plastic surgeons can help remove fat deposits to regain the confidence and appealing physique you desire.
