3 Common Breast Augmentation Incisions

There are many factors to consider when choosing a breast augmentation.  Many patients focus on the size, shape and type of  implant (which are very important factors) - but often the patient does not consider the incision technique. There are 3 common incision sites;  within the breast fold (inframammary), around the nipple (periareolar) or under the arm (transaxillary).  

An experienced breast augmentation surgeon should be able to discuss in detail each procedure and recommend the best option for your particular situation.  Here is a brief description of each:

1. Inframammary - This is a very common incision that is made in the fold of the skin underneath the breast.  Most surgeons would agree that this is the ideal method for providing symmetry. However the scar is more visible than periareolar or transaxillary. 
2. Periareolar - This incision is made around the nipple and is typically the most discreet incision. When performed by an experienced breast augmentation surgeon, the incision should be nearly undetectable after it has completely healed. 
3. Transaxillary - This incision is made under the arm.  Many patients prefer this method because there is ZERO scarring on or around the breasts.  

During a FREE consultation with Dr. Bailey, you can learn more about the different incision options and which incision suits your specific case best.

Be sure to check out our extensive Before and After Photo Gallery - we pride ourselves in providing REAL before and after photos to accurately document our patients' results.

It is our goal to provide patients with safe, leading edge, minimally invasive vein surgery and cosmetic surgery in a comfortable non hospital setting.  Dr. Bailey offers a professional and personal consultation to discuss how he can help you look and feel your best.

Beware of the HYPE

The demand for non-surgical aesthetic procedures has continued to grow at a rapid rate over the last decade.  These high technology aesthetic procedures include ultrasound, radiofrequency, lasers, and various heating and cooling treatments. They all promise significant rejuvenation of skin, reduction of fat, and even the elimination of cellulite with no downtime. 

In most cases the before and after pictures are produced by the companies that have spent millions of dollars in developing these devices. Most of these minimally invasive no downtime procedures require multiple treatment sessions which cost thousands of dollars and the results are often mild at best or non-existent. One of my mentors Dr. Jeffery Klein MD, the inventor of tumescent liposuction (which revolutionized  cosmetic rejuvenation worldwide), told me in 2007 that in his opinion ” half of what you see advertised in the arena of  minimally invasive aesthetic/cosmetic procedures is  nothing more than hype." I have always remembered that statement must say that after doing my own research over the years that I agree. 

Our cosmetic center has invested heavily in many different first tier lasers, light, radiofrequency and ultrasonic systems. Several of these devices do have minimal downtime, some have significant downtime, but they all produce visible real results. We document these results in our website gallery with before and after pictures. We are adamant that we will not invest in equipment that does not produce real and definitive results.

My advice to patients seeking any aesthetic procedure is to ask your physician to see multiple before and after pictures of patients that he or she has actually performed the procedure in question on. The photographs should be standardized in terms of lighting, positioning, and camera angle with a consistent background. When evaluating neck treatments for example, make sure that the position/angle of the head and neck in the before and after picture is identical. A subtle way to significantly improve the appearance of neck rejuvenation is to increase the jaw/neck angle by tilting the head back slightly. If your physician does not have his or her own photos available or the photographic results do not live up to the sales pitch, beware.  

Finally before plunking down your hard earned money it is also a good idea to talk to other patients that have had the same procedure performed to make sure that they are pleased with their results.

I hope this information has been helpful to you and will guide you through the process of choosing the right cosmetic surgeon for your cosmetic procedure.

10 Common Symptoms of Venous Insufficiency and Varicose Veins

The veins in our legs have many "one-way" valves which allow blood to travel up toward the heart. When you stand, the valves close in order to keep the blood from traveling backwards down the leg. 

Sometimes, the valves become damaged and will not close properly. This allows the blood to travel backwards in the direction of gravity. This valve problem is known as venous reflux or venous insufficiency.  The symptoms that occur because of the damaged valves are due to the high pressure that develops in the veins as the blood travels backward.

Over time the veins below the bad valves can become dilated and varicosed. This condition always progresses and often leads to complications such as skin damage, chronic leg swelling, blood clots, ulceration and even spontaneous bleeding.

Many people suffer from the symptoms of Venous Insufficiency and are completely unaware of the underlying problem.  Symptoms vary from person to person but the following symptoms could indicate venous insufficiency and require the attention of a doctor.

1. Leg aching, heaviness and tiredness that is worse at the end of the day
2. Leg swelling that is worse at the end of the day
3. Leg cramps at night
4. Itching
5. Restless legs
6. Blood clots
7. Eczema type skin rash on lower legs
8. Leg ulcers
9. Spontaneous bleeding
10. Occasionally patients experience a burning or numbness in their legs

If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, contact us to schedule a consultation with Dr. Colin E. Bailey.  Bailey Cosmetic Surgery and Vein Centre' provides the most comprehensive vein treatment utilizing state-of-the-art care to achieve excellent results. 

Dr. Bailey’s goal is to provide his patients with safe, leading edge, minimally invasive vein surgery and cosmetic surgery in a comfortable non hospital setting.  Dr. Bailey offers a professional and personal consultation to discuss how he can help you look and feel your best.

8 Frequently Asked Questions about Varicose Veins and the Health of Your Veins

1. What is phlebology?  Phlebology is a branch of medicine that deals with vein disease. The body of knowledge in phlebology has progressed to the point where specialists who are committed to the field can become Board Certified in Phlebology. Prior to the opening of the Bailey Vein Institute there was only one other Board Certified Phlebologist in the state of Hawaii located on Oahu.
2. Do all patients with venous insufficiency have varicose veins?  NO. Some patients may 

   

   Hemosiderin Staining

   just have leg swelling that is worse at the end of the day. This chronic leg swelling leads to the development of a brown skin color near the ankle over time. This is known as hemosiderin staining.
3. What is a Venous Ultrasound?  Venous ultrasound is a sophisticated noninvasive technology that uses sound waves to visualize which valves are abnormal. The exam is painless and also allows the physician to identify blood clots and other abnormalities. The result of this testing allows the physician to tailor treatments to each individual patient. The procedure is performed in the office and takes about 45 minutes.
4. Is restless leg syndrome related to venous insufficiency?  According to a study by Clint Hayes, M.D. published in the Journal of Phlebology, almost 40% of patients with restless leg syndrome also have venous insufficiency. When their venous insufficiency was treated, symptoms were improved by 80%. Approximately 30% of the patients had no improvement however.
5. Can venous insufficiency lead to chronic leg swelling?  There are many reasons why people develop chronic leg swelling. Venous insufficiency is a very common underlying cause. Left untreated, this can damage the lymphatic system of the legs, which further exacerbates the leg swelling. Ultimately, the skin becomes damaged and a condition known as stasis dermatitis occurs. In this situation, the skin becomes brown in color and can develop an open ulcer or even become infected. Other things that can lead to chronic leg swelling include blood clots, heart failure and some blood pressure medicines.
6. What are venous stasis ulcers?  Venous ulcers or stasis ulcers are often the result of long

   

   Venus Stasis Ulcers

    standing venous insufficiency (faulty vein valves or reflux). In most cases there is reflux of the saphenous veins and perforating veins. The high pressure within these veins eventually leads to chronic leg swelling, darkening of the skin and ultimately skin breakdown, ulceration and even bleeding. These ulcers are generally near the ankle and are very painful. Dr Bailey was one of the first 11 physicians in the country to use the revolutionary VNUS radiofrequency perforator closure system and has taught many other physicians how to use the device.
7. Can I be cured of my predisposition to develop venous insufficiency?  Venous Insufficiency can be treated but the patient cannot be cured of the genetic propensity to develop reflux. Therefore as the patient ages it is possible that reflux or venous insufficiency will develop in other veins.
8. What are reticular veins?  Reticular veins are often seen as blue-green veins under the skin. They can become large and unsightly and may lead to the development of spider veins. Some patients may experience tenderness, burning and itching in the legs.

If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, contact us to schedule a consultation with Dr. Colin E. Bailey.  Bailey Cosmetic Surgery and Vein Centre' provides the most comprehensive vein treatment utilizing state-of-the-art care to achieve excellent results. 

Dr. Bailey’s goal is to provide his patients with safe, leading edge, minimally invasive vein surgery and cosmetic surgery in a comfortable non hospital setting.  Dr. Bailey offers a professional and personal consultation to discuss how he can help you look and feel your best.

The Difference Between UVA and UVB Ultraviolet Rays and How They Can Harm Your Skin!

We all enjoy soaking up the sun and getting a nice summer glow; however, this summer glow can produce some very unappealing short and long term effects. Last week we discussed the SPF factor of your sunscreen and how to apply sunscreen correctly.  This week we want to clear up the subject of UVA and UVB rays and how they effect your skin.

First of all, what is a "suntan?"  A suntan occurs when ultraviolet light penetrates the epidermis causing the skin to produce melanin.  The increase in melanin is what gives your skin a darker tint or a "suntan."  This doesn't sound harmful, right? Well, unfortunately the ultraviolet rays that are penetrating your skin can be very harmful, both short term and long term.  Here's a quick lesson on the different types of rays and how they can effect your skin. 

The sun produces three types of rays;  UVA, UVB & UVC.  UVA is a long ultraviolet wave, UVB is a shorter ultraviolet wave and UVC is the shortest ultraviolet wave.  UVA rays are the rays that cause long term effects by aging our skin.  UVB rays are the rays that cause the skin to "burn" but can also cause long term damage to the skin.  The UVC rays are the strongest but do not typically reach the earth and are absorbed by the ozone. 

UVA rays are able to penetrate the dermis (the thickest part of your skin) very deeply.  The rays will not only cause premature aging but can also break down the immune system which can put you at risk for skin cancer.

UVB rays cause the most damage to the superficial layers of the skin and are the rays that cause you to "burn." These rays have fluctuating intensity depending upon the season, location and time of day.  They typically reach their peak between 10 am and 4 pm.

Since BOTH rays are harmful to your skin, it is imperative to find a quality sunscreen that will protect against both UVA and UVB rays.  These products should be marked as broad spectrum or specifically state they protect against both types of rays.  We carry a variety of quality UVA/UVB sunscreens by some of the most trusted names in skin care like Jane Iredale, Obagi, Skinceuticals, Tizo and Hydrafacial.

If you're concerned about sun damage that has already occurred or you would like to learn more about protecting your skin, call for a FREE consultation with our  Licensed Aesthetician, Lacey Moore.  We have a full service medical spa offering a variety of skincare services and products that will help you achieve the results you desire.

Is SPF 50 any better than SPF 15?

It's almost Summer and many of us are already day-dreaming about sunny days, sandals, bikinis and bronzed skin.  However, before we start baring more skin during the summer months, it's time to get educated about SPF and face the sun rays with the best possible knowledge AND protection.

One of the first things most people look for when purchasing sunscreen is the "SPF" number which stands for Sun Protection Factor.  SPF is simply a number representing how well the sunscreen deflects UVB rays. The SPF number is determined by the amount of time it takes for the skin to sunburn when sunscreen has been applied to the skin (compared to skin that is unprotected).

The logical assumption is that a higher SPF is a much better sunscreen, however, this can be a little misleading.  Assuming the sunscreen is applied correctly, an SPF 30 will provide slightly more protection from UVB rays than an SPF 15. However, the SPF 30 is NOT DOUBLE the protection of the SPF 15.  There is only a slight increase in the protection for your skin.

The best way to get the most out of your sunscreen is to make sure it is applied properly.  Often, sunscreen is not applied completely or is not applied thick enough.  Use about a teaspoon of sunscreen for your face and about 2-3 ounces for the body and make sure it is applied thoroughly.  If you are unsure if you have enough, opt for too much rather than too little.

Another factor in the effectiveness of your sunscreen is how often it is applied. A good rule of thumb is to re-apply every two hours.  If you are swimming or sweating, there is a very good chance the sunscreen will be wiped away or washed away leaving your skin unprotected.  In these instances, be sure to re-apply every hour to attain the greatest benefit from your sunscreen.

Last but not least, when choosing a sunscreen, find one that is a broad-spectrum sunscreen that will protect you from both UVA and UVB Rays.  If you're unsure about the different types of rays, be sure to look for next week's blog where we will explain the difference!

Have a great summer and make sure you pack your sunscreen!

What Is the Difference Between a Tummy Tuck and a Mini Tuck?

A Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty is a very common cosmetic procedure that provides the results that might otherwise be impossible for patients to achieve.  Although diet and exercise are key factors for good health, sometimes they are not enough to remedy the waistline issues that a patient is facing.  In these types of situations, a tummy tuck may be the solution.

During many patient consultations, the subject of Tummy Tucks vs Mini Tummy Tucks will arise.   Most often, a full Tummy Tuck procedure is necessary to achieve the results that a patient desires, however, in some cases a Mini Tummy Tuck will suffice.  To clarify the differences in the procedures and how to determine which is right for a patient, here is some basic information about each procedure.

TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY)
Abdominoplasty helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin and tightening muscles. The best candidates have pockets of fat or loose skin that haven’t responded well to diet and exercise. The procedure takes approximately two to five hours and can be performed with general anesthesia or local anesthesia with a sedative. With a balanced diet and regular exercise, results are long-lasting.

MINI-TUCK
Partial abdominoplasty, or a mini tuck, is similar to the regular tummy tuck procedure, except it involves a shorter incision and focuses on tightening the skin below the . This procedure is ideal for patients who need just a little improvement in order to reach their desired results. 

Schedule your FREE Tummy Tuck consultation with Dr. Bailey to discuss your specific concerns.  Dr. Colin E. Bailey is Certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and has performed NUMEROUS tummy tuck procedures as well as other cosmetic procedures to help patients enhance their appearance.   He and his staff are dedicated to providing patients with the highest standard of care combined with personal attention, and privacy in a safe and comfortable environment.

The TRUTH about Botox® Cosmetic

Botox® Cosmetic is one of the most popular and effective anti-aging treatments available, and yet, it is also one of the most misunderstood treatments.  Regardless of its popularity and, there are many myths regarding Botox® that drive good candidates away from experiencing the anti-aging effects.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is very successful in treating frown lines, crows feet and forehead furrows to give you a more relaxed and younger looking appearance. BOTOX® is injected at the site to weaken muscles that are causing lines and wrinkles.  Once these muscles have been treated, they relax and allow the skin to flatten.

Here are just a few myths that we have heard regarding BOTOX® and the truth from Dr. Colin Bailey.  

1. Botox will make my face look frozen - The truth is that when BOTOX® Cosmetic is properly administered the result should have a natural appearance and should not be obvious. The goal in most situations is to relax the muscles that create lines and wrinkles from repetitive musculature contraction.
2. Botox is only effective for 3 - 4 months - The fact is that when BOTOX® Cosmetic is used consistently for a year or two one can often increase the interval between treatments to 6 months or more. More importantly, consistent BOTOX® Cosmetic use is a powerful anti-aging treatment because the muscles that would normally make lines and wrinkles deeper have been relaxed. The result is a slowing of the aging process, especially around the eyes, the forehead and  between the brow.
3. Botox will make my skin looser with time if I use it consistently - This is just an Internet rumor.
4. Botox is useful for filling in wrinkles - Again BOTOX® Cosmetic works by relaxing specific muscles that create lines and wrinkles; it is not used to "fill" wrinkles.   When wrinkles are very deep and etched into the skin, we recommend using a filler such as Juvederm or a resurfacing treatment with carbon dioxide laser.

If you have questions about BOTOX® Cosmetic, call to schedule your FREE consultation!  Dr. Bailey can assess you specific concerns and let you know if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you!

Endovenous Laser Therapy is Safe, Fast and Effective!!

Endovenous Laser Therapy, simply known as EVLT, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat venous insufficiency as an alternative to painful stripping procedures. EVLT is fast, safe and effective. The procedure allows patients to resume normal activities almost immediately. 

Here are a few of the benefits of this procedure:

• Takes less than an hour to perform
• Performed as an outpatient
• Offers immediate relief from symptoms
• No downtime
• No need for general anesthesia
• Up to a 98% success rate
• No scarring

This minimally invasive procedure is one of the most advanced and the following is what patients can expect:

During the EVLT procedure, Dr. Bailey will identify the refluxing veins with an ultrasound device after your leg is prepared in a sterile fashion. A local anesthetic is used to minimize discomfort. A laser fiber is inserted through a small needle into the abnormal vein. Once the laser fiber is in perfect position the laser is turned on. The heat from the laser seals the vein closed as the fiber is withdrawn and the patient is left with only a small 1 millimeter puncture site. Blood is then automatically rerouted into the healthy veins where the valves work properly.

Finally, here is the "typical" recovery experience:

After the EVLT procedure, most patients experience mild tenderness and slight bruising. This is treated with Ibuprofen or other over the counter anti–inflammatory medicine. Patients return to work and normal activities the next day. Over the next several weeks patients can sometimes have a mild tingling sensation along the course of the vein.

Dr. Bailey and his staff are dedicated to providing patients with the highest standard of care combined with personal attention, and privacy in a safe and comfortable environment.  We want to make sure ALL of your questions are answered to help you make an informed decision about your cosmetic procedure.

Top 5 Breast Augmentation Myths Debunked by Dr. Bailey

Breast augmentation is now the #1 cosmetic surgical procedure in the world.  With growing popularity, myths and misconceptions will occur that may negatively effect your decision.  

Our goal at Bailey Cosmetic Surgery & Vein Centre' is to make sure that our patients are presented with the facts about cosmetic procedures.  We want our patients to have the opportunity to make informed decisions.

Here are 5 Common Breast Augmentation Myths debunked by Dr. Colin E. Bailey.

MYTH #1 - Breast implants need to be replaced every 10 years.  This is a common misconception that I hear every day.  We have seen many women that had implants placed thirty years ago - as long as the implants are soft and the woman is happy with the appearance, there is no reason to change.   However, our breast augmentation clients are told that they should mentally be prepared for additional surgery in the future.  With the passage of time they may need a lift or want to change the size or style of the implant.

MYTH #2 - If a silicone implant ruptures, the silicone will migrate to other parts of the body.  The new Cohesive Gel Implants can actually be cut in half with a pair of scissors and the silicone stays together.  The old silicone implants were actually liquid and migration was a problem.  In the early 1990s, these implants were removed from the market.  

MYTH #3 - Breast augmentation will raise the level of the nipple and areola.  This is another myth.  Breast augmentation can in some cases give the illusion of lifting the nipple/areola, but this is not a true lift.  The primary thing that determines the need for a lift is the relationship of the nipple to the fold underneath the breast.  When the nipple lies at the level of the fold or below, it is time to consider a surgical lift of the breast.

MYTH#4 - Botox can be used to lift the breasts.  This is a scam that has been propagated on the internet. There are no properly performed scientific studies showing that this is effective and physiologically trying to perform a breast lift with botox does not make sense.

MYTH #5 - Silicone implants may increase the risk of autoimmune disease or cancer.  In 1992, the FDA placed a moratorium on the use of silicone breasts implants for cosmetic augmentation in the United States.  Over the next several years they reviewed all of the studies on silicone breast augmentation and found no link to cancer or other diseases.  In 2006, the moratorium ended and the new Cohesive Gel Implants were approved for cosmetic breast augmentation.
