Plastic Surgery Center: Why Don’t All Surgeons Use Hospitals?
Question: Why do some surgeons use a plastic surgery center instead of the hospital?
Answer: Because not all Plastic Surgeons are Board Certified in Plastic Surgery!
A few things to keep in mind when looking for a Plastic Surgeon.
All plastic surgeons are not alike. Plastic surgeons certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) are uniquely qualified and specially trained. They have been proven to provide the best patient care and have the lowest rates of complications.
Do not assume that all doctors who claim to be “board certified” have the same training. Be sure that your doctor is certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgery.
Don’t hesitate to ask if the surgeon has hospital privileges.
This is important because hospitals do background checks. If they don’t have hospital privileges, that is a red flag. The hospital has balances and checks on the doctors who operate in their facilities. They know what a doctor’s credentials are and if they are qualified to be performing the surgery you are receiving. Also, if there is a complication, it is important to have a place to take a patient. Often times when doing a surgery in an outpatient setting, there’s nowhere to take a patient if you can’t admit them to a hospital. Safety first.

The New Celeb View on Plastic Surgery
There’s a lot of pressure that comes along with being a Hollywood celebrity and that can mean feeling the need to look great for photos and interviews, as well as on your TV show or in movies.
Former child star Jodie Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner on “Full House” is no different. This child actor is all grown up now in her early 30s and is once again a star — this time on the reprisal of the 1980s hit. Sweetin plays Stephanie on the Netflix show “Fuller House” and it’s pretty obvious to anyone watching that she’s a beautiful adult now.
Sweetin has spoken out publicly about her positive experience with cosmetic surgery. From before and after photos, it would appear likely that Sweetin had breast augmentation, which is among the most common procedures many Hollywood celebrities have had. Comparing her breasts before and after plastic surgery, it’s clear they look bigger and firmer than previously. There have been rumors that Sweetin had a tummy tuck procedure to improve her figure.
Many Hollywood celebs deny they had plastic surgery, but younger stars find no problem publicly discussing their positive experience with cosmetic surgery. Countless women proclaim an overall improvement after they’ve had cosmetic surgery procedures.

Kaley Cuoco is a Big Fan of Plastic Surgery
“Years ago I had my nose done,” Cuoco shared openly. “And my boobs — best thing I ever did. Recently, I had a filler in a line in my neck I’ve had since I was 12. As much as you want to love your inner self… I’m sorry, you also want to look good.”
Fox News reports that “Kaley Cuoco has nothing to hide when it comes to her past cosmetic surgery or the future of her love life.”
“The Big Bang Theory” star recently sat down with Women’s Health magazine for their December 2016 issue, where she got very candid about having plastic surgery throughout her career.
“Years ago I had my nose done,” Cuoco shared openly. “And my boobs — best thing I ever did. Recently, I had a filler in a line in my neck I’ve had since I was 12. As much as you want to love your inner self… I’m sorry, you also want to look good.”
“I don’t think you should do it for a man or anyone else,” she added. “But if it makes you feel confident, that’s amazing.”
However, there’s no cosmetic surgery needed when it comes to Cuoco’s super fit physique. Her toned abs are a result of hard work, which she said also doubled as an outlet for her emotional distress following her split from ex-husband Ryan Sweeting last year.
“I’ve cried numerous times in yoga,” she admitted. “The best part is, I’m sweating so bad no one can tell.”
When she wasn’t getting choked up during CorePower Yoga, Cuoco was spending her time on cathartic, therapeutic horse rides on her ranch in Simi Valley, California.
“For a month straight I would talk to my horse and just bawl,” she recalled. “Finally, I went out and the crying didn’t come. I was like, I think I actually got through this.”
It was her love of horses and riding that led her on a seemingly-destined path to her current boyfriend, professional equestrian Karl Cook.
“Literally, we bumped arms at a horse show,” she shared. “We each said, ‘Oh, I’m sorry’ — and everything changed. I looked at him, and he looked at me.”
Despite having questioned whether or not she would ever be able to love again after her divorce, Cuoco says her relationship has once again established her faith in “the sanctity of marriage,” and she would “absolutely” consider tying the knot sometime in the near future. Furthermore, she’s even thinking about the possibility of starting a family, explaining, “I’m meant to be a mom.”

Is It Time for a Breast Lift?
Mastopexy, otherwise known more popularly as a breast lift, is one of the most common procedures at Star Plastic Surgery. A breast lift helps combat the droopy look of your breasts that comes with aging. Deflated-looking breasts occur due to pregnancy, breastfeeding and hereditary factors. If you want to have added volume, a silicone or saline implant can give you that added lift factor as well.
One of our board-certified plastic surgeons can assess which type of breast lift would be best suited for your specific needs. With minimal surgery time and a simple recovery plan, you too can reap the lifted benefits.
You’ll feel much more confident in your favorite blouse, bra, t-shirt and especially a bathing suit. All will fit and feel better. Don’t put off a breast lift any longer. The time is right for you and for this procedure to make your breasts look like they did when you were a teenager.

Cosmetic Surgery Tips: Maintaining Your Results
Anyone who has cosmetic surgery wants to make sure their investment pays off.
Procedures at Star Plastic Surgery have very high patient satisfaction rates. Most patients are thrilled with their results for many years after surgery as well. Believe it or not, the surgeon isn’t 100% responsible for your long term results. You also have a responsibility in maintaining the long term results of your cosmetic surgery.
Fitness and Exercise
Body contouring procedures can transform your curves, providing a more pleasing and proportionate look. While the results may seem magical, the look you see now can only last if you remain at a healthy weight. For instance, fat removal procedures such as liposuction will permanently rid you of targeted fat cells, but if you gain weight, you will see it in other areas as remaining fat cells expand. It’s even more important to keep your weight within a stable range if you’ve had a surgical lifting procedure (such as tummy tuck or body lift)—you’ll want to avoid stretching your skin again and nullifying the improvements you worked hard to achieve.
Sunscreen and Sun Protection
Immediately after your procedure, proper care makes a difference in scarring. Great skin care will help your results look as good or better than ever. Scarring is a necessary aspect of many surgeries. While your surgeon will take care to place your incisions where they can be most easily hidden, making sure they heal optimally and fade nicely over time is partially in your hands. First, it is critical to follow any post-operative activity restrictions; these rules will help you avoid straining your scars, which could cause them to become wider or more visible. Secondly, be sure to protect your incisions in the sun by covering them or using sunscreen, keep the area clean. It is also advised to use the topical scar care creams and ointments recommended by your doctor.
Healthy Lifestyle Habits
What you put in and on your body not only impacts your surgical results, it can make a huge difference in your overall health. We require patients to quit smoking tobacco for a few weeks before and after surgery. Nicotine greatly impacts your body’s ability to heal, resulting in prolonged recovery times. We would like to avoid potential complications that lead to pain, bleeding, or more visible scarring. Excessive alcohol consumption is another pitfall to avoid; there are a number of health drawbacks to overdoing it when it comes to drinking. Healthy eating habits are critical as well.
You’ve made the wise investment of cosmetic surgery… Now, it’s important to remember that post-surgery you have a share in the continued success.
Get That Flat Belly You’ve Dreamed Of
However, if you’re like the vast majority of American adults, you are carrying more belly fat than you want in the abdominal region. Nobody wants that spare tire.
Many women, especially when a photo is being taken of them, hold their tummy in. They do this mostly unconsciously resulting in the appearance of a flatter abdomen. The reason most women hold their stomach in will never be identified other than this feat can be accomplished unconsciously to some degree without expending energy. Many women have done this so long that they don’t even realize they are doing this. Those of us who don’t hold our abdomen in will never think another human can achieve this! Why? Because it requires too much energy and effort!
Just because summer is winding down and you won’t be wearing revealing bathing suits or tight shirts for a while, that doesn’t mean it isn’t time to get a tummy tuck from Dr. Reisin or another board certified cosmetic surgeon at Star Plastic Surgery. Call us today for a risk free consultation or visit www.starplasticsurgery.net.
Breast Reduction For Athletes To Improve Your Game
Breast reduction for athletes? As odd as that sounds, breast surgery procedures are not only for cosmetic reasons. One of the most popular groups of women to undergo breast reconstruction is athletes.
Breast Reduction for Athletes
With the 2016 Rio Olympics currently taking place, women’s sports is on everyone’s minds. We’re enjoying watching women athletes compete in gymnastics, tennis, track and field, basketball, soccer, volleyball and so many other exciting sports. The size of the breasts is, unfortunately, a way that many women experience an additional challenge in competition. Having large breasts can lead to back aches or even worse.
Many women choose to get breast reductions with cosmetic surgery so they can run faster and perform better on the playing field. Some female athletes have experienced significant performance enhancement thanks to their breast reduction plastic surgery, including female soccer players, swimmers, basketball players and marathon runners. For many women, breast reduction surgery helps their body look better proportioned.
An added benefit for these female athletes is that they gain more self confidence and no longer have to worry about wearing two sports bras or having metal contraptions keep their breasts in place.
For women who don’t want the surgical approach to breast reduction surgery, nonsurgical breast reduction is also available. For a free consultation about breast reduction procedures contact us today.
Are You Suffering with Breast Asymmetry?
Anxiety. Embarrassment. Depression. These are just some of the words that women who come see me use to describe how they feel about their breast asymmetry.
Size discrepancy between your breasts can be frustrating for many women. This is called breast asymmetry. Breast asymmetry is defined as a difference of form, position or volume of the breast, and it affects more than half of all women, so your daughter shouldn’t feel alone. In fact, one study of 100 women who wanted breast augmentation with implants found that 88% had natural asymmetries. You should know first and foremost that every woman’s breasts have a certain degree of asymmetry, but for some women the size difference between the breasts may be more severe. In cases in which the size difference between the left and right breast is larger than what is acceptable, it can be quite a challenge to find a bra that fits well. In fact, it might be impossible to find a good fitting bra, bikini or bathing suit.
These pieces of clothing will either be too big or too small on one side. It’s not only finding the right sized bra that can be difficult for women with breast asymmetry. It can also be a cause for anxiety on a daily basis. For some women this problem can make someone so self conscious. Women who have been living with breast asymmetry for years are ready for a solution.
Surgical correction for breast asymmetry allows for an easy correction to the asymmetry and a solution for the patient’s psychological distress. Our team of board certified plastic surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery in Novi, Michigan are all highly skilled at correcting breast asymmetry. This can be achieved by a single procedure or a combination of procedures at one time or over a period of time.
Breast Enlargement on one side or both sides using different size implants, different fills, and different styles (high, moderate plus or moderate profiles) help correct volume differences between the breasts as well as projection differences that are due either to the breast itself or due to chest wall asymmetries or a combination of factors. Breast size asymmetries due to volume are the most common form of asymmetries of the breast.
Breast Lift is used to reposition the breast when one breast is lower than the other and reduces the amount of skin surrounding the breasts. Reducing skin either surgically or non-surgically corrects the differences between breasts that are due to breast position or skin. Breast reduction reduces the volume and skin on one or both breasts to make another option for women when the amount of skin and volume plays a role in the asymmetry. Non-surgical tightening of the skin using heat may also be an option for patients when they are seeking a non-surgical solution to skin issues. Liposuction to the breast is another method to reduce volume without scars.
If you suffer from breast asymmetry or “bottoming out” of your breasts, do not hesitate to schedule a free consultation with me or any of the other board certified plastic surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery in Novi, Michigan.
