Lip Augmentation

Sensual lips are a dream of most women to attain a beautiful pout. Fuller lips can go a long way in enhancing facial beauty. You can achieve your aesthetic goals sustainably with the help of lip enhancement plastic surgery. There are plenty of non-invasive options as well if you do not want to undergo a surgical procedure.

Your cosmetic surgeon may recommend using a treatment based on dermal injectables. This can help you attain more defined and plumper lips. However, dermal injectables offer results for a short period of time. Lip augmentation surgeries on the other hand offer permanent results. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Kristi Hustak provides lip augmentation to patients in Houston, Texas and surrounding locations.

Ideal Candidates for Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation surgery works well on adults in any age group. However, you are an ideal candidate if you have naturally thin lips. You are suitable for the procedure if you have suffered volume loss in the lips because of aging and other factors too.

It’s vital for candidates to be in good health before getting lip enhancement cosmetic surgery. This will ensure quicker recovery. You should also keep your expectations realistic to begin with.

Lip Implants Augmentation

Permanent lip augmentation can be achieved with a lip implant. You can choose from a range of synthetic lip implants. Your plastic surgeon will recommend an implant that is most appropriate based on your needs and goals. Lip implants help in improving the volume and shape of lips. The surgery doesn’t take more than an hour if performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.

The surgery involves making tiny incisions around the mouth corners. A thin tunnel is then carved out to make space for the implant. The surgeon will then insert the implant and thread it all the way along the lip. Excess corners will be trimmed away precisely to achieve your desired volume and shape.

Lip Augmentation with Fat Transfer

Lip augmentation with fat transfer is another way of getting the desired shape and volume in your lips. This approach is recommended for patients where implant insertion is not an option. The procedure involves removal of excess fat from areas where there is surplus and filling the lips with it.

The procedure results in softer and more natural looking lips. It is also a less invasive way of lip augmentation as compared to inserting implants. The biggest advantage is that surplus fat from your body is used to plump up the lips. This reduces the risk of an allergen reaction. The procedure results in tiny pin prick marks on the lips.

Your surgeon will perform the procedure under local anesthesia. General anesthesia may be recommended by the surgeon under special circumstances. A secondary benefit of lip augmentation using fat transfer is that excess or surplus fat is removed from another part of the body. This can help you appear thinner.

Lip enhancement plastic surgery is a relatively minor procedure, whether you choose implants or fat transfer. In many cases, your surgeon might only use local anesthesia with mild sedation to perform the procedure.

How does Calf Implant Surgery Work?

Calf augmentation plastic surgery involves the surgical insertion of synthetic implants in the lower legs. Calf implants are made of silicone material, which can be placed under the tissue to provide a natural look of fullness. In the absence of strong and defined muscles, calf implants can provide the required fullness and body. Your calves will appear sculpted as well as larger in size.

Your plastic surgeon will help you select from a range of calf implant sizes and shapes to meet your aesthetic goals. Muscular, stronger legs can dramatically add to your looks and help boost your self-confidence too.

Surgical Procedure

A common technique used during the calf augmentation procedure is the placement of a silicone implant through a minor incision created discreetly behind the knee. Your surgeon will position the implant securely into a surgically carved pocket within the calf muscle. Depending on your custom surgical plan and your personal cosmetic goals, a second implant may also be placed together with the first to add more substance and shape.

Following the implant placement your surgeon will close the incision with surgical sutures. A natural scar tissue formation will quickly begin to occur around the implant, which will help to keep the implant in its position for years to come.

Depending on the desired result, a second implant may be placed alongside the first to give the calf greater shape. Surgical sutures close the skin.

Following surgery, the implant will become enclosed by scar tissue. This is a natural implant process and helps the device stay intact so it can remain in place for years.

Benefits of Lower Leg Implants Surgery

The major advantage of calf augmentation cosmetic surgery is that the lower legs will have a more natural and desirable appearance. For many people, the need to have more symmetrical, sculpted, and defined calves can be fulfilled with lower leg implants surgery.

The surgeon shall proceed to lift the skin from underlying tissues, remove excess fat and reposition the muscles. They will then suture the brow back into place.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

Limited Incision Technique

This technique is non-endoscopic in nature and involves small incisions. External part of the brow is raised. Any scarring that occurs gets hidden within the temporal hairline.

Facial Implant

Nose, lips, cheek, and chin are the most prominent facial features. They need to be proportionate and balanced in their appearance to create a likable facial look. It is possible for one or more of these facial features to be small sized or recessive since birth. It is also possible for the facial feature to have depleted because of age related factors. Severe injuries can sometimes cause partial or full loss of tissue and bone.

The surgeon in such cases may recommend appropriate implants through surgery for restoring aesthetic harmony within the face. At your pre-operative consultation, make sure to discuss your best options with the surgeon. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Kristi Hustak provides facial implant surgery to patients in Houston, Texas, and surrounding locations.

Cheek Implants

Well defined and enhanced cheek bones are one of the most coveted beauty features in the face. Many times, cheek bones are naturally small in size. Loss of cheek volume may also occur because of disease, aging, and other related factors. Patients that are unhappy with the sunken look of their face and vacuous appearance in the eyes may consider getting cheek implants.

Cheek implants plastic surgery can improve the maximal projection point for restoring facial proportion. Cheek implants go a long way in making narrow shaped face appear wider. They can also help create a more angular appearance by reducing the gap between the two cheek implants.

Chin Implants

Proportion between the size of the nose and chin is another sensitive aspect of balance and proportion. Disproportionately smaller or larger chins can create a strong illusion of an over-sized or under-sized nose. This can affect the appearance of the entire face. Moreover, unusually long chins can make the upper portion of the face appear sunken.

Chin implants can go a long way in making small adjustments to the chin shape and size. They can result in significant improvement of face harmony. Experienced surgeons will choose the right shape and size of chin implants. They will customize the same to match your unique aesthetic needs. Generally, chin implants are placed above or in front of the jawbone.

Nose Implants

Augmentation rhinoplasty generally includes nose implant cosmetic surgery. People bothered by undermined or a significantly small nose may consider this procedure for making their facial appearance more proportionate. Nose implants can also be used for treating congenital defects or injuries by reconstructing or altering various parts of the nose.

High strength silicone is among the most commonly used materials for getting a nose implant procedure. These are synthetic implants which do not disintegrate. They help in providing permanent benefits. Nose implants are usually recommended in cases where nose augmentation or rebuilding is required and adequate cartilage is unavailable.

Lip Implants

Permanent lip augmentation provided by lip implants provides more refined results as opposed to dermal lip fillers. This makes lip implants a salient option for people with thinner lips. GORE-TEX, SoftForm, and AlloDerm are popular lip implant types. Female cosmetic surgeon Dr. Kristi Hustak receives patients from Houston, Texas, and nearby areas for facial augmentation surgery.

Breast Implant Profiles

There are pivotal decisions you need to take before having your breast augmentation procedure. You need to consider various variables whether you are looking to improve breast shape, add more volume, or increase their size. Breast implant profile is a major variable when it comes to attaining the right breast shape.

Your cosmetic surgeon will explain the pros and cons of various breast profiles. They will also let you know that different profiles have different effects on different body types. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Kristi Hustak provides breast augmentation to patients in Houston, Texas, and surrounding locations.

Implant Profile for a Dramatic Change

High profile implants offer the most dramatic results. They have a narrow base and project more forwards as compared to moderate breast implants. They also have more volume in the upper breast poles. High profile implants are recommended for petite women desiring in a dramatic change in the appearance of their breasts.

A key benefit to these implants is that the side wall adds more height. This in turn reduces the risk of visible breast tissue rippling following your breast augmentation plastic surgery. At the time of your initial consultation, your surgeon will determine your candidacy and recommend the most appropriate type of implants.

Implant Profile for a Subtle Change

Low implant profiles are recommended for women with broad shoulders and chest. They look the most natural and offer only the subtlest forward projection from the chest wall. These implants are best suited to older candidates desiring shape over volume.

Popular Implant Profile

Moderate implant profiles offer natural, rounder, and fuller looking results. They work well on women with narrow chests that want natural appearing results. This implant profile doesn’t result in too much forward projection that may look overly done. However, it is enough to offer satisfactory results since it increases the volume and size of the breasts.

Moderate plus profile is a sub-category that is between moderate and high implant profile. Women who have lost volume in their breasts because of aging can benefit from moderate plus profiles, which offers a natural breast appearance.

Picking the Right Breast Implant Profile

Women that seek a breast augmentation cosmetic surgery procedure should have realistic expectations about the kind of physique they are looking for. This includes the shape and size of their breasts after the procedure. The implant profile you choose will play a major role in defining the end result. Each profile style lies differently on the breast base to create different results.

Women that have narrow chest walls or base widths may prefer getting a high profile implant while women with broad breast base diameters may opt for low profile implants. Women falling in between may decide either moderate plus or moderate profile to satisfy their volume and projection needs.

Choosing the right profile type along with type and size is important to acquire your expected end results. This makes it important to consult with a qualified surgeon that can help you identify the right breast implants. Female cosmetic surgeon Dr. Kristi Hustak receives patients from Houston, Texas, and nearby areas for breast augmentation.

Chin Augmentation 

Is your chin receding from your jawline? Is it weak and recessive leading to a disproportionate facial look and structure? Weak chin that is not proportionate to the upper jaw is medically known as retruded chin. This can be corrected with plastic surgery by an experienced plastic surgeon.

Be prepared to discuss the pros and cons of various chin enhancement surgery options with your surgeon during your consultation. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Kristi Hustak provides chin augmentation surgery to patients in Houston, Texas, and surrounding communities.

Surgical Options to Consider

The effects of a receding chin can now be reversed with various plastic surgery options. You can make your lower face appear more balanced and improve your overall facial structure significantly.

The most successful cosmetic surgery procedure for correcting a retruded chin is chin implants or chin augmentation plastic surgery. Chin implant is inserted by the female cosmetic surgeon through an incision in the mouth and does not cause any outer scarring. This is among the most common procedure for correcting the appearance of lower mandible or recessive chin.

Sliding chin genioplasty is usually recommended for extreme cases with severe retrogenia. This is when the chin structure and jawline are not defined to a significant extent. This procedure is highly invasive and involves a lengthy recovery period.

Sometimes, liposuction is used to reduce double chin fat. This helps in making the chin appear more protruded. In certain cases, Kybella injections may also be used for creating a stronger and more horizontal looking jawline.

An experienced cosmetic surgeon will identify your aesthetic goals and customize the procedure. Your surgeon will make sure that the best course of action is taken to match your anatomical and aesthetic requirements.

Chin Implant Customizations

Creating a customized chin implant will require multiple scans or imaging done by your female plastic surgeon. The surgeon will also have a detailed discussion about your aesthetic goals. Your chin implant will then be custom ordered or procured as pre-made prosthesis. This biocompatible silicone implant will be inserted by your surgeon in front of the lower jawbone for a stronger and shapelier chin.

There are other plastic surgery options available apart from chin implant augmentation procedures to enhance your jawline and lower face structure. You can even lengthen your jaw using special plastic surgery techniques. Neck lift, chin liposuction and several other plastic surgery procedures can be used separately or together with chin implants to get the desired results.

Advantages of Chin Augmentation Plastic Surgery

There is a misconception that simple mouth exercises can correct your jawline or a weak chin. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Your chin has soft facial tissue and rigid bone structure, which does not allow for any type of considerable change.

A chin implant plastic surgery can help you by:

• Improving facial appearance from the sides and front
• Strengthening the jawline
• Improving your smile
• Adding vertical balance to the face
• Harmonizing the upper and lower jaws for proportionate facial balance

Butt Augmentation

Butt augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure gaining steady popularity worldwide over the last decade. It involves reshaping and enhancement of your gluteal area resulting in a shapelier buttock contour.

Firmly rounded buttocks are viewed as a symbol of both sensuality and feminism. The most common technique for buttock augmentation for either enlargement or reshaping is through fat grafting also known as the “Brazilian Butt”. The other popular buttock augmentation surgery technique is buttock implants.

Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Kristi Hustak provides butt augmentation surgery to patients in Houston, Texas, and surrounding locations.

Ideal Candidates for Buttock Augmentation

You should think of getting a butt augmentation procedure in the following situations:

• If your body structure is bigger than your buttocks and you want a more even look
• When your gluteal region looks boxy or too flat
• If your buttocks are slack, flat, or sagging because of aging or weight loss
• If you feel that your figure does not flaunt the clothes and swimwear properly
• To improve your self-esteem and confidence

Advantages of Butt Augmentation

Top benefits of a butt enhancement procedure:

• Shapelier and attractive figure
• Better fit for clothes, especially swimwear
• More curvaceous and youthful look

Methods of Buttock Augmentation

Buttock augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is primarily performed through autologous fat transfer or gluteal implant surgery.

Autologous Fat Transfer

This is popularly known as the “Brazilian Butt Lift”. The female cosmetic surgeon uses your fatty tissues to augment the shape and design of your buttocks giving it a better more rounded look.

This cosmetic surgery involves liposuction. Suction tubes or “cannulas” are used to remove fatty tissues from abdomen, thighs, and hips. The cosmetic surgeon then injects this fat via syringes attached to the cannulas. Three to five small incisions are made for the fat reinjection, but these are easily hidden.

The cannulas move back and forth constantly ensuring an even fat deposit at multiple levels to redesign the buttocks. Your surgeon will use sutures to close the incisions.

Gluteal Implant Surgery

This type of plastic surgery can be performed without reassigning fat. The procedure involves butt implants for providing shape. This is more suitable for flat or depressed buttock shapes. They work well for people with less fatty tissues. However, they are not as effective in enhancing sagging rear ends due to significant weight reduction.

In this plastic surgery procedure, the female plastic surgeon will insert a soft silicone implant in your buttocks with the help of a small incision masked by your buttock crease. A different incision site can also be used, and the relevant details will be provided by your plastic surgeon during the consultation.

The implant is situated below your gluteal muscle but above your pelvic bone. After the plastic surgery is complete sutures are used to close the incisions made. You will be required to wear a compression garment after the surgery. Female cosmetic surgeon Dr. Kristi Hustak receives patients from Houston, Texas, and nearby areas for butt augmentation surgery.
