B. Breast skin is tightened and an implant may be inserted or tissue may be removed.

3. Which of the following is NOT a procedure that involves reducing ear prominence?
A. Submental liposuction
B. Ear pinning
C. Otoplasty
4. Which of the following procedures does not require the removal of excess skin?
A. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
B. Brachioplasty (arm lift)
C. Liposuction (removal of fatty tissue)
Answers
1: C. Augmentation increases the size of the breast. Answer A refers to a breast reduction. Answer B refers to a breast lift. All these procedures are offered by Dr. Jane Rowley, and she is the only plastic surgeon in Lubbock offering “Ideal Implants,” a structured implant that combines the natural look and feel of silicon with the safety of saline.
2: B. This can be performed on the upper or lower eyelid, and both can be done at the same time. In this procedure, excess skin is removed from the eyelid. Liposuction may be done to eliminate any fatty deposits that may be in the way.
3: A. Ear pinning is the common name for otoplasty, a process that pins the ears back closer to the head. Submental liposuction is a procedure that reduces the fatty tissue under the chin and creates more definition in the chin and neck area.
4: C. Abdominoplasty is commonly known as a tummy tuck, and involves the removal of excess skin, and possibly liposuction of the hips. Brachioplasty is also known as an arm lift, and involves the removal and tightening of excess skin on the upper arms. Liposuction alone, however, is just the removal of fatty tissue.

Selecting the right surgeon is key to your plastic surgery success. Whether it’s reconstructive or cosmetic, ear-pinning or a breast reduction, you want to make sure it’s done right by qualified surgeon. How do you know you’re selecting the best plastic surgeon for the job? Here are the two most important questions you can ask.
Are they board certified?
Licensing and board certification are not the same thing. While all medical doctors must be licensed to practice in the United States, board certification is voluntary and proves a surgeon passed rigorous testing, peer evaluation, and continuing education specific to their specialty. Lubbock patients should expect a doctor to not only be licensed but also board certified. This becomes even more important in the ever-changing medical field.
How much experience do they have?
Licenses and certifications, however, only get a surgeon so far. How much practice do they have in the field? How much experience doing the type of procedure you need? Nothing tops experience and Dr. Jane Rowley, who has more than two decades under her belt will be the first to tell you that. She is second only to her father in experienced surgeons in the Lubbock area. In addition to twenty years of practice, she went above and beyond in her training by completing an optional, full general-surgery residency, including a full year of surgical research and six months of training in the UK. Better training and more experience mean better results for her patients.
So regardless of what you are considering–a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast reduction, a face-life, or any other procedure–you deserve an experienced, board-certified surgeon to give you the best chance of achieving the results you want. Don’t settle for less. Dr. Jane Rowley is a solid choice for Lubbock patients. Call for a no-obligation consultation today.

Parenthood is about constantly balancing options with their costs and benefits–all in the best interest of your child. When you have to make a decision about if and when to select otoplasty for your son or daughter, having more information will help you make the right choice at the right time. The timing of this procedure can greatly affect the outcome, and while some plastic surgeons will take children as young as 4 years old, Lubbock plastic surgery specialist Dr. Jane Rowley recommends waiting until the child is at least 6 for the following reasons.
Maturity Aids in Healing
An older child will be more likely to understand the implications about the healing process. They will also be less likely to play with the bandage that’s necessary for several days post surgery, which will mean better results from the procedure.
Desire Begets Investment
Lubbock plastic surgery specialist Dr. Jane Rowley also recommends waiting until the child asks for the surgery. This way the child will be invested in the surgery being successful and will likely be more compliant in the healing process and post-operative instructions. It’s important the child understands that the healing process and aftercare instructions are both vital to the success of the procedure.
Reduced Complications
While rare, complications from otoplasty do exist. Lubbock plastic surgery patients should be aware of these complications, and more importantly how to avoid them, no matter what the age. The most common risks are blood clot, infection, and scarring. With proper wound care, as well as a skilled surgeon, these risks can be avoided or mitigated.
If you have questions about otoplasty or any other plastic surgery, please call to schedule a no-obligation consultation with Rowley Plastic Surgery in Lubbock. Plastic surgery can be life changing, and you deserve to have an experienced surgeon on your side, especially when it comes to surgery for your child. Have peace of mind knowing you’ve chosen the best plastic surgeon Lubbock has to offer. Call today.
