If you have been working to tone your body but are struggling with the last few pounds of stubborn fat, you may be looking to cosmetic surgery to help you achieve the figure you want. Traditionally, liposuction has been the procedure of choice for individuals in this situation. However, there is a new, non-invasive procedure called CoolSculpting that may provide similarly stunning results. Below are some quick facts about CoolSculpting to help you understand its benefits.
- CoolSculpting freezes away fat cells: Using a targeted application of cold temperatures to the fat cells, CoolSculpting tones problem areas gradually and with minimal downtime. This method works using one or a series of treatments during which you can read a book, catch up on work, or even take a nap. The procedure uses no incisions and requires no anesthesia.
- Ideal candidates are close to a healthy weight: CoolSculpting is not intended to be a weight loss procedure. It is only for isolated areas of fat that have not responded to diet or exercise, such as the belly, love handles, or inner thighs. After getting the procedure, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle so the results are long-lasting.
- CoolSculpting is excellent for men and women: Because CoolSculpting utilizes your body’s own fat disposal mechanisms to yield results; the effect will look completely natural no matter your body type. Therefore, the procedure is a viable choice for both men and women looking to eliminate problem areas of fat.
- Healthy skin cells are untouched by CoolSculpting: When you undergo the CoolSculpting procedure, the finished result is a smooth look in the treated area because the skin cells are preserved. Only fat cells are targeted by the procedure, which gives you the best results possible.

With age, wrinkles can develop around the eyes, at the corners of the mouth, and in the brow. For many men and women, these folds and lines create an aged and tired look and prevent them from looking as young as they feel. Fortunately, many non-surgical options are available to those who wish to restore vitality and energy to the face. Below are some of the advanced wrinkle treatment options available from your plastic surgeon to enhance beauty and restore youth.
- Prevelle Silk: Is a non-surgical wrinkle solution, Prevelle Silk works to reduce the appearance of mild to moderate facial lines and folds by filling them with an injectable hyaluronic acid gel.
- Juvederm™: Also an injectable filler utilizing hyaluronic acid, Juvederm™ is a long-lasting treatment that can show results for up to nine months. Juvederm™ is most commonly used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles or to plump up lips.
- Sculptra®: This injectable product focuses on areas of fat loss by replacing lost volume with a safe and biodegradable synthetic material. Sculptra® treatments can last up to two years.
- Botox® and Dysport®: Unlike the above dermal fillers, this injectable naturally reduces the appearance of wrinkles by temporarily weakening facial muscles. These products are very effective in removing wrinkles that develop between the eyes or in the upper third of the face.
In addition to these treatments, there are other options available that can effectively rejuvenate your appearance.

For many women looking to enhance the shape, size, and contour of their breasts through breast augmentation, choosing the right type of implant to suit their needs can be a difficult decision. At present, there are two main options for breast implants: the saline implant and the silicone gel implant. Each has its own unique benefits and drawbacks related to their respective material and consistency. Read on to learn more about each type of breast implant; your plastic surgeon will offer his medical recommendation for the material option that best suits your body.
- Saline implants are filled with a sterile saline, or salt solution, which is contained by an outer silicone shell. The saline used to fill these implants mimics the salt concentration of the human body so that the fluid can safely be absorbed if the implant were to rupture and deflate. The amount of fluid placed in the shell can vary depending on the desired shape, feel, and contour of the breast.
- Silicone gel implants, like saline implants, possess an outer shell made of silicone. These implants, however, are filled with thick cohesive silicone gel made to mimic the consistency of breast tissue. For this reason, many women believe these implants provide a more natural look and feel to the augmented breast. If a silicone implant ruptures, the gel will not migrate and remains in the outer shell. It is not known to cause any serious health problems. The FDA approved this model in October 2006.
If you are considering enhancing your body’s aesthetic balance and contour through breast augmentation, schedule a consultation with Dr. James Baker. With over 40 years of experience with breast implantation, Dr. Baker has exceptional skill in performing this procedure.
