Breast Implant Illness - 5 things to know
5 Important things to know prior to getting breast implants ❤️
1. Implants are not lifetime devices, it is recommended they be replaced at least every 10 years.
2. For silicone implants, the FDA recommends getting imaging every other year to check for a leak.
3. Before deciding on implants, educate yourself about breast implant illness. For more information go to my Plastic Surgery Blog on my website and select “Breast Procedures” in the pull down menu.
4. There is a rare lymphoma called BIA-ALCL associated with breast implants. It is predominantly associated with textured implants but this is still under research and investigation. The FDA also recently reported an additional cancer - squamous cell carcinoma that is associated with breast implants.
5. Allergan and Natrelle Biocelle textured implants known as the “gummy bear implants” were recalled by the FDA
Also go to FDA.gov and review the black box warning on breast implants prior to getting implants.

My philosophy on plastic surgery is that patients results look natural and refined - that is shouldn’t be obvious that they’ve had a lot of work done. And that every single detail of the surgery is important and should be done as perfectly as possible down to every last millimeter.
I believe that every person has the right to transform themselves through plastic surgery to be happier, approach every day more confidently, and live their lives more fully. #plasticsurgeon

MD GLAM’s revolutionary skincare products help your skin in 3 ways:
1. Slowing the aging process (anti-aging)
Anti-aging - slowing down the clock by building collagen, protecting against environmental toxins that injure the skin causing fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, hyperpigmentation, lack of elasticity, and large pores.
Collagen production starts to decrease in most people's bodies from the time they're in their late teens or early 20s and decreases about 1% each year. This collagen attenuation picks up pace during and after menopause.
2. Improves the quality of the skin at any age.
- Increases hydration and suppleness
- improved texture
- smoothing the skin
- clarifying pores
- evening the pigmentation
- improved overall skin appearance
3. Preventative
Our products also protect from daily environmental exposures and replenish the skin with its natural protectants that are depleted from the environmental toxins.
Helps with:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sagging
- Hyperpigmentation
- Pores

During Labiaplasty surgery, I use magnifying lenses that magnify about three and a half times because the sutures that I use are extremely delicate and small. It helps me see every little last detail down to the millimeter. As many of you know, my specialty is vaginal cosmetic surgery, which is usually a combination of labiaplasty with or without clitoral hood reduction. This procedure is very common. I perform several a week and the age of my patients ranges from teenagers to even older patients in their 60s.
Many of my patients mention that their excess labia a patient to feel self-conscious, it rubbed against her underwear, she could see it in yoga pants, and overall it just got in the way. Also, toilet paper can sometimes get stuck in that area and many patients feel that they can’t keep themselves clean. Not only that, but it interferes with confidence when it came to intimacy.
Some women just want the area to look nice. They want it to look nice, cute, tucked in, and feel confident in and out of clothes. The way that I perform my labiaplasty procedure is tailored toward the individual patient. I like to call it designer vagina because it is precise shaping and tailoring of the vaginal area to the patient's individual concerns and what they want to look like aesthetically. So the preoperative consultation and the pre-op visit and planning are very, very important.
It's very important for me to understand what bothers the patient, what look they're trying to achieve. We go through all our before and after pictures and determine the right course of action. Text us, call us, email us. We are now open on Saturdays as well. Visit beautybydrcat.com for more information. @surgeon
Breast Reduction with Breast Lift✨💗
My patient was not happy with the size and weight and position of her breasts. She wanted to reduce the size, improve her shape and lift them.
Breast Reduction Surgery, or Reduction Mammoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure that reduces the size of the breasts, lifts the breasts, and raises and resizes the nipple and areola.
A Breast Lift (Mastopexy) is a cosmetic procedure that elevates the breast by removing excess skin, reshaping it, and contouring the surrounding tissues like a push up bra.
The most important parts of this surgery are to create symmetric round circular nipples, a beautiful symmetric shape, as well as a quick recovery with little to be bleeding and a thin and nearly invisible scar. 🙌
The artistry of this surgery truly comes from the shaping as well as the tailoring of the breast tissue to make sure there is fullness still in the cleavage, there is as much upper pole fullness as possible. ❤️
As a woman, I understand the importance of using a meticulous technique in order to create precise symmetry, perfect round nipples, and a thin and invisible invisible incision.
I have developed a special technique for Breast Reduction/Breast Lift surgery that has minimal pain and a quick recovery.
My patient is only 1 day post-op and she had no pain! She only needed Tylenol to help her sleep last night. 🤗
Her results are already so incredible- she is going to heal amazingly. Stay tuned for her results as she continues to heal. 💖

A Breast Lift (Mastopexy) is a cosmetic procedure that elevates the breast by removing excess skin, reshaping it, and contouring the surrounding tissues like a push up bra.
Many women experience deflation of the breasts or a downward movement of the nipple and areola after pregnancy and breastfeeding or after weight loss. A breast lift helps restore the shape of the breasts after these changes. A breast lift does not change the breast volume. It tightens the tissues around the breast tissue to lift it and contour the breast tissues into a better shape. During your consultation, we will discuss different lift types with their scars. We will also discuss the difference between breast lift alone vs. breast lift with implants.
I have developed a special technique that has minimal pain and a quick recovery. You will feel tightness and some soreness in the breast area and there will be swelling. The swelling lasts about a month. It takes a full 4-6 months for the tissues to see the final results.
Scars take about 12 months to fade. You will start scar treatments at around 2 weeks after surgery. Overall, my mastopexy patients are some of the happiest patients after their breast lift surgery. They no longer need to wear a push up bra, they can exercise easier and fit better in their clothing. For patients who breastfed or lost a lot of volume after significant weight loss, they feel that this surgery restored their shape. Call, email, or text us through our website to schedule your consultation.

Taking care of your skin is even more important if you are active and have a busy lifestyle such as school, career, or being a mom. The stress, sweat and dirt can build up on your skin, clog pores, cause breakouts and the harsh exposures to sun, wind, and environmental toxins can damage and age your skin. Using the MD GLAM DAY moisturizer and SUNSHOUT SPF50 before you start your day, both of which are rich in anti-oxidants and also hydrating agents helps protect your skin during the day. Both also feel and smell light and absorb quickly so your skin won’t feel greasy.
Cleansing your skin after a long work or school day, or any day is really important! You want to remove the dirt and sweat that has collected, cleanse your pores, but at the same time, not over-strip your skin of protective oils. I truly look forward at the end of every day to using the MD GLAM DEEP PORE CLEANSER and truly love using the very yummy EXFOLIATING ENZYME SCRUB for extra exfoliation. It’s literally my aahhh moment having my skin feel so fresh and clean.
Finally, nothing beats the feeling of using the RETINOL-C EYE SERUM followed by the HYALURONIC C-COMPLEX NIGHT moisturizer. I can feel my skin soaking up all the hydrating and collagen building ingredients and know that in the morning my skin will feel so soft and supple.
@mymdglam products are paraben-free, sulfate-free, dye-free, petroleum-free, with NO ANIMAL TESTING. MD GLAM is cruelty free certified by Leaping Bunny and is manufactured in the USA.
