When researching a plastic surgery procedure that you are considering, it can be difficult to imagine what kind of results may be achievable, much less how those results will look on you- if they will be natural and aesthetically pleasing. While there is no way to guarantee any specific result, many doctors are now exploring new technological advances to help their patients visualize the kind of results that are possible.

One of the easiest ways, however, is looking at a plastic surgeons before and after photo gallery. There you will find examples of his past work and see the kind of results he has achieved for his patients. You will be able to asses if the results they have achieved would be ones you would be happy with and it can act as a great springboard for beginning a discussion with your plastic surgeon about results that you liked or did not like and why. Itís important to be specific with your plastic surgeon in your consultation. Discuss your goals for your potential outcome in great detail. This will help your plastic surgeon assess what is realistically achievable and what isn’t, which will help you get the results you expect.

Take a look through our online photo gallery. You will find examples of breast and body procedures. If you have any questions or are ready to schedule your consultation with Dr. Au, give us a call or send us a quick message!

There are many men and women who are dissatisfied with their mid-section for various reasons. Factors such as genetics, aging, dramatic weight loss, and pregnancy often play a role in creating undesirable waistlines. For those with excessive sagging skin in the mid-section, or loose and/or separated abdominal muscles, a Chapel Hill Abdominoplasty may be the best way to restore youth and improve body contour to the abdomen.

Just as there are different factors which contribute to dissatisfaction of the abdominal region, there are a couple different Tummy Tuck techniques designed to meet the individual needs of each patient, some of which are more invasive than others depending on the amount of treatment needed. Likewise, a Tummy Tuck alone may not be enough to create the desired results and other body contouring procedures are often used in conjunction with it such as Liposuction to remove any excess fat deposits, Thigh and Buttock Lift or Breast Lift.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy) is a surgical procedure performed that reshapes and lifts up sagging breasts. As the skin loses its flexibility, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. Your plastic surgeon will remove excess tissue, and with the remaining tissue, reposition your breast. This plastic surgery procedure typically takes anywhere from 1-3.5 hours. Most patients are back to work within 7-10 days.

Are you a Good Candidate for Chapel Hill Breast Lift Surgery?

The best candidates for Breast Lift are women.

Is this you?

Have your breasts lost there firmness due to weight loss or pregnancy?
Do your breasts “sag” due to age, gravity, pregnancy or weight loss?

If you:

Have unrealistic expectations this may not be for you. You should discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
