Today's Woman Can Have it All, as Plastic Surgery Becomes More Accessible and Less Invasive than Ever Before
Women today are doing more than ever, while continuing to raise the bar of expectation. Boundaries blur as they wear the face of the working professional, mom, colleague, wife and more. They’re not settling. They’re broadening their scope.
And with this multi faceted life is an increasing desire to project outwardly everything they’ve accomplished and feel on the inside. This has prompted a growing trend towards plastic surgery - to not only correct what women don’t find appealing about their face and body but also reverse signs of aging that simply don’t match an energetic spirit and youthful drive.
Dr. Michael Ciaravino, renowned Houston physician ranking among the nation’s top plastic surgeons, sees this first hand.
“I have women of all ages coming in growing numbers to enhance their appearance. They know what they want, and they are pursuing it with great confidence,” said Dr. Ciaravino, who specializes in breast augmentation and revisions, tummy tucks and facial rejuvenation treatments.
As many plastic surgery procedures become less invasive with the help of new products and technology, they become more mainstream – and less taboo. Women can slip away for lunch and return with the glowing results of any number of face and body rejuvenating procedures that take just minutes to perform. The results are more natural and the recovery more rapid.
Dr. Ciaravino says that among the most popular procedures at his internationally recognized facility are breast augmentation and revision surgeries, and minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedures – including the latest in hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, Juvedermä, which seamlessly smoothes facial wrinkles and folds.
While performing a host of “head to toe” enhancement procedures hailed for their results at his Houston facility, Dr. Ciaravino is best know for his minimally invasive and resoundingly successful breast augmentation and revision procedure – performing among the highest number of breast augmentation surgeries in the country.
“Women no longer have to feel guilty and let stereotypes force them into a category. They can be successful professionals, great moms and anything else, while also looking like the attractive woman they want to be. That’s why the number of breast augmentation and revision surgeries we do each year continues to increase,” said Dr. Ciaravino.
“This comfort level, combined with an improved technique that we’ve developed, dramatically reduces recovery time and the once invasive nature of a breast augmentation procedure - making it easy for them to move towards a change,” he added.
With over a decade of experience in plastic surgery, Dr. Ciaravino developed a breast augmentation technique unparalleled in results and recovery. His procedure entails a smaller incision, directed lighting, restricted bleeding and minimal disturbance to the chest muscles and breast tissue. Using a long lasting pain medication and muscle relaxer, the procedure takes approximately 30 minutes and allows for immediate movement and resumption of activity.
According to Dr. Ciaravino, part of the success of his procedure is the care he takes in the pre surgical preparation and understanding of his patient’s overall health and lifestyle.
“We encourage a healthy lifestyle overall. Age is less of a concern than the patient’s health,” said Dr. Ciaravino.
“For women contemplating a plastic surgery procedure – particularly breast augmentation – we strongly recommend a balanced diet, reduction in heavy chest exercises and elimination of smoking. We’re concerned about the entire person, not just the procedure for which they have come. We consider the condition of their skin and breast tissue, as well as what would be appropriate for their lifestyle. And I believe that’s why my patients are so pleased with the results,” he added.
