Two things matter when it comes to breast implant wrinkling or implant ripples: the consistency of the soft tissue cover and the implant material itself. I know that the issue of implants and visible rippling or wrinkling comes up in implant forums and I often hear it mentioned during consults. In this video presentation, I show both saline and silicone implants so you can see how the wrinkling can appear directly on the implant itself as it’s held up. While silicone is more gel-like, it is not immune to wrinkling. I also discuss the gummy bear implant, which has a very stiff silicone consistency and is recommended for patients with breast reconstruction who have very little soft tissue cover in place.
Breast implants can be quite complicated when it comes to choosing the right fit. For my Breast augmentation patients, one of my roles as a plastic surgeon is to help you choose the best breast implant for your body and for what you want to accomplish. There are more choices to make than most patients originally think and making the right choices is essential to getting the desired result that you’re after.
Since the Brazilian butt lift results from a fat transfer, the question I get from most patients is whether they’ll lose the effect of the procedure if they lose weight after the surgery! The short answer is this: If the fat is processed and grafted correctly, you will not lose the effects.
In this video I explain the special techniques I use for the very popular Brazilian butt lift, showing some of the tools I use, detailing the complex series of steps involved in the surgery that I’ve perfected, and sharing a few of our patients’ before and after photos.
In this video, I talk about what it means to be “Board-certified” and how you can check to see if the plastic surgeon you’re considering for a procedure is truly board-certified or not, regardless of the number of diplomas hanging on the wall.
Dr. Ricardo L. Rodriguez was one of 6 board-certified plastic surgeons to serve on the ASPS Brazilian butt lift safety panel at The Meeting in Orlando, Florida in 2017. This video is a clip of one of the comments he made during the 45-minute presentation.
This patient had fat grafting to the upper and lower face, liposuction of her jowls, and a lip lift for a younger, fresher look. Now she just looks great with #nofacelift and without looking *done*. The recovery from this fantastic procedure is much shorter than the traditional facelift.
This is a facial rejuvenation patient holding her pre-op photo, allowing us to see the results achieved with facial fat grafting alone – it was all done with fat grafting.
Stacey talks about her decision to have rhinoplasty and septoplasty about six weeks after her surgery with Dr. Rodriguez. Hear about her experience in her own words.
Dr. Rodriguez explains how using thin cannulas during liposuction enhances precision, minimizes tissue trauma, and contributes to smoother, more natural-looking results. Watch to learn why thin cannulas are a game-changer in body sculpting and recovery.
At CosmeticSurg in Baltimore, I use advanced techniques like thin cannulas to give you the best possible results with Lipo360. My approach ensures smoother contours, less recovery time, and no need for massages or drains. Most of my patients are back to their routine in just one week.
