The Protection You Deserve With Breast Implants

What should you consider before getting breast implants? Do you know the different types available? What long-term maintenance or monitoring is required? When partnering with Dr. Jane Rowley, she takes the time to answer these questions and address any other concerns her patients have about their breast implant options.

Dr. Rowley’s Commitment to Patient Education

Dr. Rowley is devoted to helping her patients find confidence in their breast augmentation decision. She understands that undergoing breast surgery is a highly personal choice. Every woman has different expectations and varying goals for their appearance. That’s why Dr. Rowley is committed to making sure her patients receive all the information they need to achieve the results they desire.

Every patient at Rowley Plastic Surgery receives specialized care. Since no two women are the same, Dr. Rowley creates customized treatment plans to meet the individual needs of her patients. During the consultation process, she goes over the three kinds of breast implants on the market today – saline, silicone gel, and the new IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implant.

What are Structured Breast Implants?

As a plastic surgeon board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Rowley is part of an exclusive network eligible to offer the IDEAL IMPLANT. This technology-driven implant combines the benefits, without the drawbacks, of both silicone gel and saline. For many years, women have been caught choosing between the natural feel and realistic look associated with silicone gel, and the peace of mind that comes with saline.

But now, women wanting a breast augmentation no longer have to compromise beauty for security. The unique design of the IDEAL IMPLANT delivers the best of both worlds. It is comprised of a series of implant shells nested together that hold two separate chambers filled with saline. This advanced internal structure controls the movement of the saline to mitigate sloshing, supports the implant edge to prevent wrinkling and collapse when upright, and provides projection and volume. Plus, with no use of sticky silicone gel, the IDEAL IMPLANT is 100% risk-free of “silent rupture.”

Basic Protection Plan for No Extra Cost

When women choose the IDEAL IMPLANT, they are automatically enrolled in the Basic Protection Plan provided by IDEAL IMPLANT Incorporated. This limited warranty provides women with financial assistance of up to $3,500 to help with uninsured out-of-pocket surgery costs for deflation for 10 years. So if their IDEAL IMPLANT deflates, women can receive a free replacement implant during their lifetime for deflation, and for the first 10 years for capsular contracture.

Additional Protection

For a more extensive protection, the Premium Protection Plan is also available. Since many health insurance plans do not extend coverage for cosmetic surgery or postoperative problems related to cosmetic surgery, the Premium Protection Plan offers additional benefits to help women be protected from complications related to their breast implants throughout their entire life.

What is Included in the Premium Protection Plan?

The Premium Protection Plan includes all the elements of the Basic Protection Plan, then added protection as well.

The First 60 days – The risk of postoperative problems that are expensive to treat is higher just after surgery, and as time goes on becomes less likely. The Premium Protection Plan extends up to $10,000 in financial assistance during the first 60 days after breast augmentation surgery for bleeding, infection, anesthesia, blood clots, and wound healing events.

The First Year – The Premium Protection Plan includes $5,000 in financial assistance for postoperative events women might face during the first year following their procedure such as capsular contracture, deflation, insertional scar revision, and related events.

Subsequent Years – Women can have the peace of mind knowing their IDEAL IMPLANTS are covered for their entire life. The Premium Protection Plan doesn’t end after the first year.  $5,000 in financial assistance continues on for capsular contracture, deflation, insertional scar revision, and related events.

How To Get the Premium Protection Plan

To get this added protection, women can simply enroll with their plastic surgeon prior to their procedure. The cost is $189 for primary breast augmentation, or $249 if exchanging existing implants. Each year thereafter, renewal is only $79. Since unexpected or uninsured costs can come about at any time, this affordable lifetime protection is an investment for a worry-free future. And if the Premium Protection Plan is not renewed, the Basic Protection Plan automatically still applies for the remainder of its original term.

Plastic Surgery with Dr. Jane Rowley

Are you considering plastic surgery? Have a certain procedure in mind? Do you know what steps to take to achieve the best results possible? Whether you want breast augmentation, a tummy tuck, or full “mommy makeover,” partnering with a skilled and well-qualified plastic surgeon is the key to a successful outcome.

Searching “Plastic Surgeons Near Me”

The Internet is a great resource with loads of information on any given topic. A simple search of “plastic surgeons near me” will bring up multiple doctors in your area. While those hits are a good starting point, it is vital to further research the right fit for you.

It is especially important to work with a plastic surgeon that is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. According to www.abplasticsurgery.org, plastic surgeons that have “met high standards in training requirements and successfully passed the examinations covering the breadth of plastic surgery” can be eligible for certification. The website further explains “the mission of The American Board of Plastic Surgery, Inc. is to promote safe, ethical, efficacious plastic surgery to the public by maintaining high standards for the education, examination, certification and maintenance of certification of plastic surgeons as specialists and subspecialists . . . the purpose of the Board is to evaluate the education, training, and knowledge of broadly competent and responsible plastic surgeons.”

Dr. Jane Rowley and the IDEAL IMPLANT

Dr. Jane Rowley, at Rowley Plastic Surgery in Lubbock, TX, is part of this exclusive group of board-certified plastic surgeons, making her eligible to offer the IDEAL IMPLANT. The IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implant is a new, innovative type of implant that combines the natural feel of silicone gel with the peace of mind of saline.

Women are often familiar with silicone gel or saline breast implants. Silicone gel implants are known for their realistic look, yet inherently come with the risk of “silent rupture.” Only detectable by MRI, this kind of rupture occurs when sticky silicone gel begins to leak into the surrounding tissues of a woman’s body without her knowledge. Surgery is then required to clean out the leaked gel and remove the ruptured implant. For this reason, the FDA recommends that women with silicone gel implants receive an MRI scan three years following their breast augmentation, then every two years following.

If a saline implant ruptures, a woman’s body will harmlessly absorb the sterile saltwater solution. And while this security is invaluable to many women, saline implants can move and behave like a water balloon due to no internal structure. This creates a less-than-natural feel and can cause wrinkling or rippling of the skin. Yet saline implants were once the only alternative for women worried about the risk of “silent rupture.”

But now, women no longer have to choose between the beauty they desire with the confidence they deserve. The IDEAL IMPLANT is a third breast implant option that combines the advantages, without the drawbacks, of both silicone gel and saline. It is made up of a series of implant shells nested together that hold two separate chambers filled with saline. This advanced internal structure:

  • Provides a youthful shape and projection
  • Creates a natural feel and realistic look
  • Controls the movement of the saline to mitigate sloshing
  • Reduces wrinkling and rippling
  • Gives support to the upper portion of the implant to prevent collapse when upright
  • Carries no risk of “silent rupture”

Procedures for Men With the Best Plastic Surgeon in Lubbock

It is true that the vast majority of plastic surgery requests come from women, but there is an ever-growing population of men who want similar surgical procedures. Men can benefit from plastic surgery in the same ways women can; enhancing your appearance can boost your confidence, improve your mental health, and even free you from discomfort. Whether you want to make sure you look as good as you feel or you simply want to treat yourself to a few desired improvements, plastic surgery may be the right option for you. If you are unsure about where to start, you can always give our office a call and schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Jane Rowley. You can talk through your concerns with the best plastic surgeon Lubbock has to offer, and she will advise you on the right options for reaching your cosmetic goals.

Makeovers Aren’t Just for Moms

We often hear about women who get mommy makeovers to get back to their pre-pregnancy shape by having plastic surgery on their breasts and belly. Men are beginning to take advantage of the surgical options they have to restore their youthful look as well. Like the typical breast and belly combination of the mommy makeover, the procedures for men can also target these areas. By combining a male breast reduction to treat gynecomastia and abdominal liposuction, men can help their own efforts to improve their masculine ab and chest appearance. A healthy diet and regular exercise are still necessary to maintain the athletic look that many men desire, but sometimes diet and exercise are simply not enough. Pairing these efforts with the skills of the best plastic surgeon in Lubbock can help restore a more youthful look and feel. These makeovers can consist of any combination of procedures that are right for you. Below are a few of the common procedures that men choose from when considering plastic surgery.

Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the top plastic surgery procedures requested by men. That soft stomach that hangs over the top of the pants plagues both men and women, and typically gets worse with age. Liposuction addresses this concern, but it is not meant to be a weight loss technique. Patients should be in good health and at a stable weight before applying this procedure as an additional tool for shaping and refining. When you are working with the best plastic surgeon in Lubbock, the arms, hips, back, face, and legs can all benefit from liposuction as well.

Male Breast Reduction

Gynecomastia, or male breast reduction, can reduce the appearance of breasts on men. Male breast reduction can treat enlarged male chests by removing the fatty excess breast tissue, as well as the excess or stretched skin, to tighten the chest area and produce a more toned appearance. Combining this procedure with liposuction can achieve exceptional results with the best plastic surgeon Lubbock patients trust. The appearance of a female chest from excess fat and skin can cause a great amount of self-consciousness for men. The restoration of tone in the chest area can improve both physical and emotional qualities of life.

Neck Lifts and Chin Augmentation

Men typically have a well-defined jawline and a clean chin to neck connection. If this is lacking due to excess skin and fat on the neck or an abnormally small lower jaw projection, you may look older than you are. A neck lift can resolve that “turkey neck” look and can improve your everyday life by making dress shirts and ties more comfortable. This procedure can also take years off your appearance. For those with insufficient jaw projection, a combination of a chin implant with liposuction of the jawline can give a contoured and sculpted look that creates a strong masculine jaw.

Facial Rejuvenation

Facial treatments can provide benefits through both surgical and non-surgical techniques. They target facial signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, deep creases, facial and neck sagging, crepey skin, and other concerns. Plastic surgery options include a facelift and neck and forehead lifts. Non-surgical procedures include muscle relaxant injections, dermal fillers, and laser treatments.

Get Your Body Back With the Best Plastic Surgeon Lubbock Has to Offer

Men also have options with eyelid rejuvenation (blepharoplasty), nose surgery (rhinoplasty), and much more. Americans are living longer with a better quality of life than ever before, and aesthetic surgery simply helps people look as good as they feel. Whether you’re interested in one or several of these procedures, your first step is to call our office and schedule a no-obligation consultation with Dr. Jane Rowley. At Rowley Plastic Surgery, you can rest assured knowing you are in the experienced hands of the best plastic surgeon Lubbock has to offer.
