HOW BREAST AUGMENTATION EVOLVED

A Brief History on the Beginning of Breast Implants

From sponges and inflatables to silicone and saline, the breast augmentation process has evolved dramatically to become the number one cosmetic procedure in the United States that it is today. This is how it happened.

Liposuction

Liposuction is an incredibly effective body contouring procedure performed by Long Island plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Diehl. With liposuction, Dr. Diehl can remove stubborn deposits of excess fat from areas of the body including:

•          Ankles, calves, and thighs
•          Hips, waist, and buttocks
•          Abdomen, flanks, and back
•          Arms and chest
•          Neck and face

To learn what liposuction can do for you, please call 877-476-8512 today to schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Diehl.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets excess deposits of fat. To perform liposuction, Dr. Diehl makes a small incision in the treatment area through which a thin tube (cannula) can be inserted. Using state-of-the-art technology and advanced techniques, Dr. Diehl can break up or liquefy fat deposits, making them easier to remove.

Once fat deposits have been broken up, they are removed with gentle suction. Following fat removal, you will wear a compression garment for a short recovery period, encouraging your skin to firm to your newly toned contours.

Liposuction is a wonderful way to sculpt your body, but it may not be right for everyone. During your initial consultation, Dr. Diehl will assess your frame, discuss all of your options, and help you determine if liposuction can help you reach your goals.

Combining Nose Surgery with a Chin Implant

Two of the main elements of a perfectly balanced face are the nose and the chin. In an ideal situation, the tips of the nose and chin line up in a vertical line when your profile is visible. This produces perfect symmetry and is often considered highly attractive.

Board-certified Long Island plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Diehl has found that nose surgery alone often accomplishes this particular goal. However, if your nose and chin cannot be brought into alignment with a single procedure, Dr. Diehl may recommend combining your nose surgery with chin implants to achieve ideal symmetry.

Your Face is Unique

Your face is unique and which procedure, or combination of procedures, is best for one person may be entirely wrong for you. To determine which procedures will most compliment your appearance, Dr. 

Diehl applies his decades of experience and personal approach, taking into account all of your facial features to customize the optimal combination.

During your initial consultation with Dr. Diehl, your concerns will be listened to, your face carefully examined, and all of your options will be presented.

If you live on Long Island and would like to learn if nose surgery alone or in combination with another procedure can best enhance your looks, please contact Dr. Gregory Diehl today to schedule your initial consultation.

Will Surgery Fix My Droopy Eyelids?

Droopy eyelids are both an aesthetic problem and a potential functional issue as they can interfere with proper vision. Due to this, seeking a lasting solution for eyelid droopiness is on the top of many people’s lists.

Fortunately, this common problem can easily be addressed through an eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, a procedure designed to rejuvenate the eye area, producing a youthful and alert appearance, and even restoring unobstructed vision.

Eyelid Surgery

Long Island plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Diehl can customize your eyelid surgery to tighten and beautify both the upper and lower eyelids. Commonly, this procedure is used to lift upper eyelids and remove excess fat causing a bulging appearance underneath the eye, but your procedure will be tailored to meet your unique needs.

Eyelid surgery can be performed alone or in conjunction with other surgical procedures such as a facelift or brow lift, along with nonsurgical options including BOTOX® Cosmetic to address many areas of the face. Combining procedures will be based on your particular concerns. All of your options will be discussed in full during your initial consultation.

Tummy Tuck Candidates

A tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure that can be used to tighten abdominal muscles, remove excess skin and fat, and tone your entire midsection. Many patients seek treatment  from board-certified Long Island plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Diehl following pregnancy or significant weight loss for a tummy tuck. This is because the abdominal area is incredibly hard to tone following weight fluctuations.

If you have lost a significant amount of weight or are unhappy with the appearance of your body following pregnancy, you may be an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck.

Good Tummy Tuck Candidates

Good candidates for a tummy tuck should have excess skin and fat deposits that have not responded to diet and exercise. This is a body contouring procedure and not intended for significant weight loss. If you are overweight, you may need to come closer to your goal weight before undergoing this procedure.

In addition to being close to your goal weight, to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck you will need to be:

•          A nonsmoker or willing to give up smoking
•          In generally good health
•          Prepared for a surgical procedure and recovery period
•         Willing to closely follow all of Dr. Diehl’s pre and postoperative advice

The best way to determine if a tummy tuck can help you reach your goals is with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Diehl.

Choosing the Right Shape of Nose

Your nose is one of your most prominent facial features. When you are unhappy with your nose, you may only notice its imperfections and fail to see how it relates to the rest of your face. Long Island plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Diehl however can see the whole picture, and will customize your rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, procedure to produce a nose that is both attractive on its own and in perfect balance with the rest of your face.

The Ideally Shaped Nose

Each face is unique, making it difficult to determine what shape nose will ideally suit yours without a one-on-one rhinoplasty consultation. It is helpful if you bring pictures of noses you find attractive to your initial consultation as this will give Dr. Diehl a better idea of what attributes you find most appealing.

However, attributes you find attractive may not be suited to your face and, since it is your nose that is being perfected, your rhinoplasty procedure will need to take into account both your desires and your natural anatomy.

Dr. Diehl has extensive experience and interest with the Rhinoplasty procedure and is proud to review his pre- and post-operative portfolio of photographs with you at your personal consultation.

Dr. Diehl will work closely with you during the planning phase of your rhinoplasty procedure to make sure you approve of his decisions.

If you live on Long Island and would like to know how rhinoplasty can enhance your appearance, please contact Dr. Gregory Diehl today to schedule your initial consultation.
