Americans Are Spending Billions of Dollars on Plastic Surgery Procedures
Since 1997, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, or ASAPS, has compiled statistics on plastic surgery and emerging trends throughout the U.S. The data just released for 2016 shows that Americans put $15 billion dollars towards both surgical and nonsurgical plastic surgery procedures. This is an 11% increase from the year 2015. What’s one of the most popular procedures? Liposuction. Here’s how many men and women underwent the top 5 surgical plastic surgery procedures:
Daniel C. Mills, MD, President of ASAPS, says that there are several reasons why plastic surgery is becoming more popular, “A healthy economy with the lowest unemployment rate since 2008, a desire on the part of baby-boomers and their offspring to remain competitive in a youth-centric workforce, younger generations recognizing the value in preventative anti-aging care, and of course, procedural and technological innovations that provide patients with more personalized options in both the surgical and nonsurgical categories. In other words, there’s something for everyone.”
Pick a Plastic Surgeon You Trust
With such a variety of plastic surgery options to pick from, make sure you pick a board-certified plastic surgeon you trust to help you with your desired procedure. At Rowley Plastic Surgery in Lubbock, Dr. Jane Rowley understands how to listen to her patient’s’ goals. She will explore and focus on the best procedure to help you achieve your goals.

What Will Happen At My Consultation For A Breast Reduction?
So you’ve decided that it’s time for a breast reduction. You may be wondering, “Do I just tell my doctor that I want my breasts to be smaller, and that’s it?” Well, there’s a lot more that goes into planning for this procedure than just that.
Pick a Plastic Surgeon
Before you go in for a consultation for a breast reduction, make sure you choose a plastic surgeon who you are comfortable talking to. It’s important that your plastic surgeon has experience with breast reduction surgery and is board-certified. You want to have the best experience possible and get the results you want, so pick a surgeon that meets these requirements.
Prepare Your Medical History
Your plastic surgeon will want to know about any past and present medical conditions you have, so have a list ready to go with the following information:
Drug allergies
Medications that you’re taking or have taken recently
Medical treatments you’ve had
Any past surgeries, including breast biopsies
Family history of breast cancer
Current mammogram results
The list may seem extensive, but the more thorough you are at your initial consultation, the more your plastic surgeon will be able to evaluate your health and how receptive your body will be to a breast reduction.
You Will Receive an Examination
Your plastic surgeon wants you to be happy with your breast reduction results, so a comprehensive examination of your breasts is key. Your surgeon will take measurements and photos of your breasts so they can determine:
Your breast size and shape
What kind of breast size and shape you’re aiming for
How much breast tissue you have
What your skin is like
The placement of your nipples and areolas
You should expect your initial plastic surgery consultation to be in-depth so that all aspects of your breast reduction can be discussed. Many patients find that they also want a breast lift or liposuction to go along with their breast reduction. At Rowley Plastic Surgery in Lubbock, Dr. Jane Rowley offers new patients a no-obligation consultation where you can discuss all plastic surgery procedures you’re considering. Give her office a call today to get started.

Have you recently had a tummy tuck? Or are you thinking about getting one? With this particular procedure, you should be able to see drastic results right away. However, if you want to keep that new shape for as long as possible, you should take the proper steps to help your body recover. In Lubbock, plastic surgery expert and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jane Rowley wants her patients to take care of their bodies so they can have a fast recovery and enjoy their new look.
Eat Right!
You should be even more aware post-surgery of what you are putting into your body. This advice doesn’t mean you should go on a strict diet as soon as your surgery is complete. It just means you should eat foods that make you feel good and that will give your body the energy and nutrients that it needs. Make water your choice of drink and focus on eating more fruits and vegetables. You’ll be able to maintain that trim stomach a lot longer by eating right.
Move Around Slowly at First
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) patients seeking treatment come from all over the globe, including residents living right here in Lubbock. Plastic surgery guidelines recommend that after a tummy tuck you take a few days to rest and have someone help you get up and walk around. After a few days, it’s important to move around as much as possible to stop blood clots from forming. Light exercise like walking will help your recovery, but avoid any heavy weightlifting or running for at least three months. If you exercise too strenuously too soon after surgery, you can actually release the muscle tightening sutures, which can cause a bulge in the stomach area.
Be Aware of Possible Pain
After a tummy tuck, you will have pain around your torso that will last a few weeks. Experiencing pain can mean that your abdominal area may continue to shrink even more after surgery. Most patients have some pain and swelling for a few weeks that goes completely away after a few months. It’s important to consult with your surgeon about how to manage your pain and speed along your recovery process.
Following the above steps can help your recovery be more manageable and get you the results you want faster. Before undergoing any plastic surgery, schedule a no-obligation consultation at Rowley Plastic Surgery in Lubbock. Plastic surgery to help your confidence soar is just a phone call away.
