Women of all ages can elect to have breast augmentation, but if you decide to undergo breast augmentation surgery in your late 20s and 30s, you have several advantages over younger women in their late teens and early 20s.

Increased physical maturity is definitely in your favor. Although some women in their teens and early 20s may not have fully matured breasts, the process is generally finished by a woman's mid-20s.

In addition, you are more likely to have a stable income, making it easier for you to take advantage of our financing for breast augmentation.

All of these factors combine to make your late 20s and 30s the golden age for breast augmentation.

To find out more about the benefits and risks of breast augmentation surgery, please contact the cosmetic surgeons at Summit Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Kansas City. You can find out more about breast augmentation surgery and schedule an initial consultation.

After the age of 40, when you are finished having children, you may want your body to return to the appearance you enjoyed when you were younger. Breast augmentation in your 40s and 50s can help enjoy the rest of your life. By restoring your breasts to their former shape and size or giving you the breasts you always wanted, breast augmentation can give you confidence to live the rest of your life like an entirely new life. More women who are past childbearing age are electing to have breast augmentation surgery on its own or as part of a complete mommy makeover to restore the figure they enjoyed in youth.

While the exact procedures of a mommy makeover vary depending on your specific wants and needs, they most frequently include:

• Breast augmentation
• Tummy tuck
• Thigh lift
• Minimally invasive cosmetic procedures

Bearing children, weight gain and loss, and cruel time can wreak havoc on your body causing you to lose your nicely proportioned figure. In many cases, the size and shape of your breasts are significantly altered, making you feel uncomfortable about your body.

Nowadays, too, women over 40 are more likely to be embarking on a new life, and to find that they are being held to a higher standard of appearance than their mothers at a similar age. Breast augmentation and other cosmetic procedures can help you start your new life with confidence.

To find out more about plastic surgery, especially about breast augmentation in your 40s and 50s as part of a mommy makeover, please contact the cosmetic specialists at Summit Plastic Surgery & Med Spa to schedule an initial consultation.

While nobody can predict the future, it seems that popular trends in cosmetic surgery procedures are beginning to shift. Where liposuction was once the most common cosmetic surgery procedure performed, recent numbers indicate a change in the most commonly requested procedures. New trends are starting to show:

• More men requesting cosmetic surgery
• An increase in breast augmentation over liposuction
• The popularity of non-surgical procedures, such as BOTOX®, is on the rise
• A higher percentage of reconstructive procedures is being performed

Some of the procedures most favored by men are:

• Gynecomastia (male breast reduction)
• Liposuction
• Chin implants
• Fractional CO2 Laser

While the cosmetic surgery field has slowed from the almost feverish pace it had reached in 2007, Kansas City plastic surgeon Dr. Matt Chhatre is still seeing a regular flow of patients. Despite the economic downturn, it seems that many individuals are still opting to aesthetically enhance their bodies.

Some of the most popular non-invasive procedures being requested are:

• BOTOX®
• Facial fillers (Restylane® and Radiesse®)
• IPL hair removal
• Chemical Peels/Microdermabrasion
• Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatments

While critics of plastic surgery may be touting a drop in its popularity due to the economic downturn, the truth is that plastic surgery saw an increase in the overall number of procedures within the U.S. last year, and will do so again this year.

The reason for the continued popularity of plastic surgery procedures is most likely that it does not cater to vanity as often as expressed by the press. Our patients frequently express a desire to improve their quality of life by undergoing a plastic surgery procedure. Individuals who have struggled with low self-esteem or physical discomfort for years find that plastic surgery can offer the relief that no self-help book or fad diet can achieve.

If you are considering plastic surgery but have been hesitating, consider the following:

• Plastic surgery is an investment in your current and future happiness
• Plastic surgery can affect more than how others view you – it can affect how you view yourself
• The majority of individuals who have had plastic surgery are glad they invested the time and money to improve their quality of life
• When you meet with Kansas City plastic surgeon Dr. Matt Chhatre, he will help you make sure that your goals are realistic and can be achieved

If your skin shows signs of aging and you want to improve this, skin resurfacing lasers may be your best bet. However, while skin resurfacing is an excellent way to rejuvenate the face, there are some drawbacks. Traditional CO2 lasers may leave your skin red, have a longer recovery period than you'd planned for, and can even scar or cause pigmentation problems.

The fractional CO2 resurfacing laser eliminates these drawbacks and leaves you with younger and healthier looking skin. By reducing fine lines and wrinkles, shrinking pore size, and tightening your skin, the fractional CO2 laser can improve the skin with very little recovery time.

Some of the benefits of the fractional CO2 skin resurfacing include:

• Blending uneven pigmentation
• Clearing sun-damaged skin
• Minimizing acne scars
• Smoothing lines and wrinkles
• Reducing the size of your pores
• Less pain and recovery time

If you have sun or age damaged skin, you may be a candidate for resurfacing with the fractional CO2 laser. The treatment is very fast, virtually painless, and completely safe and effective.

After your skin resurfacing treatment, the redness and swelling will only last for a few days. After three days, you can speak with our licensed esthetician about keeping your appearance, as well as the application of mineral makeup to return nutrients to your skin.

If you are interested in finding out more about the fractional CO2 skin resurfacing treatment in the Kansas City and Lee's Summit, Missouri area, please contact the experienced staff at Summit Plastic Surgery & Med Spa for an initial consultation.
