Remember last week’s post where I explained why most women don’t need cheek implants? I though it might be helpful to show you the flip-side of the coin - a situation where cheek implants really do help.

Cheek implants are not a common operation. In 2006, they ranked 32nd out of 34 cosmetic surgery procedures. So why am I saying that they’re being done too often? Because they are. And for the wrong reasons since most women who get them really need something else.

This 49-year-old complained that her face had changed dramatically in the last few years. Her once-prominent cheekbones were gone. She had developed jowls along her jawline and loose skin on her neck. She thought she looked tired and older than she actually was.
A standard facelift would flatten her cheeks even more - exactly the opposite of what we wanted. Instead, I did a three-level facelift to rejuvenate and restore her facial shape.

This 37-year-old complained of loss of fullness in her upper cheeks. The soft tissue that was originally over her cheek bones had sagged into the lower cheeks. This is one of the earliest signs of facial aging and can actually change the shape of the face. The Endotine midface lift is perfect for younger women with this problem. It moves the sagging cheek tissue back up over the cheekbones where it belongs. Not only does the Endotine midface lift make you look younger, it actually creates a prettier facial shape.

This 48-year-old had recently noticed facial sagging especially in her cheeks. She felt this made her look tired and older than she was. I did an Endotine midface lift, a endoscopic browlift, and an upper lid blepharoplasty. The result is a refreshed, younger look that looks completely natural.

Your plastic surgeon lays out a bunch of breast implants on the table in front of you. He asks you which size you like. You point to your favorite. That’s the implant he uses. Do you get the result you were hoping for? Not very likely.
I am stunned and amazed that anyone actually does this. Yet I see it on plastic surgery TV shows. And I’ve heard of it being done here in Dallas. It does not work.
You cannot choose a breast implant by looking at it. Read full entry »
I’m extremely pleased with the results and how everything turned out. Dr. Schwartz is such an amazing surgeon. His eye for detail and artistic ability is truly a work of art on the human body. The image he gave me is one that I could never have sculpted in the gym. I finally feel like a woman. And for that I am tremendously grateful for.
Many thanks to you and Cynthia for all your knowledge,support and time before, during and after my surgery. Dr. Schwartz is blessed to have such a talented and caring staff. Your compassion for patients is remarkable! Read full entry »
In the last post, we saw how choosing breast implants by naming a cup size is, at best, a guessing game that can lead to disappointing results. With this next method, things only get worse. I can sum this one up quickly - trying to find the right size breast implant by putting implants in your bra completely, totally, absolutely does not work. In, fact it’s almost guaranteed to get you the wrong size. Read full entry »
In my last breast augmentation post, I said I would next explain a method for finding the right size breast implants. Before we do that, let’s discuss some methods that don’t work. This is important because these are the most commonly-used sizing techniques. And they often lead to the wrong size breast implants.
Here’s how a typical sizing conversation goes: Read full entry »
