Tiny nipples set to be the Breast Surgery trend of 2017

    Tiny nipples set to be the Breast Surgery trend of 2017?

A recent study conducted by a group of plastic surgeons asked 131 participants to rate the attractiveness of various sized nipples.
It found that nipples that occupied 25 to 30 percent of the breast were rated the highest.

While, those larger than 50 percent of the breast were deemed too large by the majority of study participants.
The study concluded that patients with smaller sized nipples rated high in attractiveness than those with larger nipples.

Breast Surgery has for many years been the most common plastic and cosmetic surgery procedure available, the term breast surgery encompasses a number of procedures including Breast Augmentation (Boob Job), Breast Reduction, Mastopexy (Breast Uplift) and Nipple Correction.Breast Surgery can be requested for several reasons including: Breast Malformity, The result of weight gain or loss, Following childbirth or breastfeeding or for Oncoplastic reasons.

This recent trend is seeing many patients request that their nipples be reduced to that of the size of the popular confectionary item, smarties. Of course trends are called trends for a reason in that what maybe popular right now may not be in several years time and so it is important to refrain from acting impulsively in such circumstances.

Nipple Correction has been a popular procedure for many years, it has been used traditionally to treat patients who are concerned about enlarged or inverted nipples or to reduce the size of the areola (the brownish coloured area around the nipple) and is commonly carried out along with a Breast Augmentation procedure.

Nipple Correction alone is a minor procedure although it is commonly carried out in conjunction with a Breast Augmentation (Breast Enlargement)and can help to restore confidence and body image by correcting the appearance of the nipple and breast.

Australian Olympic hurdler causes a stir on social media

Australian hurdler Michelle Jenneke sparked a huge stir 4 years ago for her slightly different warmup routine at the 2012 Olympics, she very quickly gained over 28 millions views on youtube for the video named ‘the jiggling vid’ and now has over 300,000 followers on Instagram.

Michelle has also recently competed in the same event (100m hurdles) at this years 2016 Olympic Games which is currently taking place in Rio. Unfortunately for Michelle she didn’t place for a medal this time but her appearance has sparked yet more questions on Social Media about whether she has had a Breast Enlargement, also known as Boob Job.

Social Media can be very kind but on occasion can also be quite intrusive, Michelle hasn’t confirmed nor denied the queries and in my opinion, why should she? Surgery for some is something they are happy to share with friends, relatives and even the media but for some it is a very personal and private experience which should be respected.

23 year old Michelle is a talented lady representing her country and I’m sure is in the peak of physical fitness. Should she have had surgery she has waited until an appropriate age and being an Olympian, I’m sure her body will be in great shape to undergo surgery if she wished.

It is important to remember all our athletes competing at this years Olympics for the right reasons and not just Team GB, they have worked incredibly hard to get where they are, no matter where they finish, in last place or even Gold Medals, they are all inspirational athletes and we continue to wish them luck in the Rio Olympics.

Breast Implants – Your questions answered!

Often when patients attend their consultation for Breast Augmentation (often referred to as Boob Job) Surgery they have an idea of what size implant they’d like, sometimes they have seen a celebrity whose implant size has been reported or a friend has had surgery and they think that size would be perfect for them, however it is important to recognise the many factors that contribute to the overall result of breast surgery.

A certain implant size in one patient may look very different in another, why is this?

By understanding a patients anatomical structure, by measuring the base width, the thickness of the breast tissue, and the degree of sagging (ptosis), it will become clear which implants will be suitable for your body shape and whether this will result in the look you are hoping to achieve.

At your consultation you will be given the opportunity to try gel sizers that will give an idea of the result you are likely to achieve, however prior to your consultation the rice test can help give an approximate indication of the size, this involves filling a stocking as below

Amount of Dry Rice
(cups) to Implant Volume Simulated in cubic centimeters
0.53 cup 125 cc
0.63 cup 150 cc
0.74 cup 175 cc
0.85 cup 200 cc
0.95 cup 225 cc
1.06 cups 250 cc
1.16 cups 275 cc
1.27 cups 300 cc
1.37 cups 325 cc
1.48 cups 350 cc
1.59 cups 375 cc
1.8 cups 425 cc
2.01 cups 475 cc
2.22 cups 525 cc
2.43 cups 575 cc
2.64 cups 625 cc
2.96 cups 700 cc

There are also variations in the profile of implants available, a low profile, moderate or high profile. Again these options will determine the result, a low profile will give a flatter result, a moderate a more natural look and high profile will give a fuller and rounder looking breast. A high profile does not mean it sits higher on the chest it means the implant will project forward the most.

Like with all Cosmetic Surgery it is best to attend your consultation with an open mind and a realistic approach but there is no harm in doing your research before you attend, this will give your surgeon the best idea of whether the result is one that’s achievable and in line with your expectations.

Smaller implants rapidly becoming more fashionable than larger breast enlargements

 Smaller implants rapidly becoming more fashionable than larger breast enlargements

Recent trends in Boob Jobs are seeing more and more patients wanting smaller more discreet increases in their breast size rather than the glamour model look that was so popular several years ago. Patients seem to no longer want obvious breast implants but would rather choose a size that enhances their body shape and size making it more difficult to recognise when surgery has been carried out.

As a surgeon this trend is one that I certainly agree with, my job is to create an aesthetically pleasing result, one that gives the patient a positive body image and increases self-confidence. This increase of only 1-2 cup sizes means that it can make it much easier to either dress up or down and most patients wanting this look will choose a teardrop (anatomical) implant for a more natural look.

What is a Breast Enlargement / Breast Augmentation / Boob Job

Breast Augmentation is designed to help women who are conscious of the size of their breasts either because development has resulted in naturally small breasts, deformity (tuberous breasts) or they have developed to normal size but shrunk excessively following pregnancy, childbirth, breast feeding or excessive weight loss. Surgery is carried out to enhance the size of the breasts by placing an implant either behind or in front of the muscle and in proportion with the rest of the body.

Breast Augmentation is usually carried out under general anaesthetic with a one night stay in hospital although in some circumstances can be carried out as daycase surgery.  There are several variations in technique which will be discussed at consultation, incision in the fold under the breast or around the nipple for example. The implant can then be placed under the breast tissue or in a deeper pocket beneath the pectoral muscle on which the breast lies, the method used depends on the look you want to achieve and your suitability for this method. The size of the implant suitable for you will be discussed at your consultation, an increase of two to three cup sizes is usually the maximum recommendation.

Breast Implant demand increases by 183% in 2015

/in /by

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/632947/Breast-implants-UK-more-popular-ever

 

Some very interesting statistics reported in this Cosmetic Surgery story, not surprisingly Breast Augmentation (Boob Job) is the fastest growing cosmetic procedure sought by prospective patients in 2015, a huge increase of 180%. This procedure is closely followed by abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) which saw a huge peak in interest of nearly 351%. Over recent years I have seen an increase in the number of patients attending my clinics for consultations for the Mummy Makeover, a combined procedure of breast implants and tummy tuck carried out at the same time. The beauty of combining these procedures is only one having to undergo one anaesthetic and one recovery period.

Although the outcome of this procedure gives a fabulous transformation, like with any surgery it is not to be taken lightly, this is major surgery and will usually require a 2 night stay in our private hospital.

 

What is a Mummy Makeover?

 

The term ‘mummy makeover’ comes from the patient that the procedure attracts, those mothers who after having children have been left with a loss of volume in their breasts and lose skin on their stomach area sometimes described by mums as a ‘kangaroo pouch’.

 

Childbirth can often leave new mums lacking confidence about their body, sometimes no matter how committed you are to your diet and exercise plans, there are those stubborn areas that just don’t look the way they did before you had your children.

How do i get in contact to book a consultation?

If you can relate to these concerns and have considered surgery to correct, I have clinics in Warwick, Coventry and Nuneaton. If you would like to book a consultation with me, you can do so either by contacting 07468 418 419 or by visiting my website www.alanjpark.com.

Plastic surgery trends for 2016

Cosmetic surgery trends for 2016

As we reach the end of the year, it is interesting to read about the projected cosmetic surgery trends for 2016 . Although these trends are taken from a survey predominantly of US doctors, it is often the case that we do follow on at a later stage. In our cosmetic surgery practice, we have seen more focus for patients around previously lesser procedures such as Neck Lift, Facelift and Abdominoplasty. The trend for bigger breasts via a breast augmentation (boob job) seems to be slowing down to some degree. My own practice tends to be more women looking to have breast augmentation following breast feeding. More getting back what they had rather than a straightforward increase in natural size.

PIP implant effect

Of course the effect of the PIP implant scandal will have an effect on some patients. I can say I have never used these implants and never would chose a “cheap” implant. The implants I use are based on many years experience with them and are amongst the dearest on the market. Breast augmentation is still a very common procedure that does give many , many satisfied patients every year. If you are considering this procedure, please book a consultation and we can discuss every element of it.

Facial cosmetic surgery

Facial surgery is on the rise in my view simply because techniques have improved with regard to time spent in the operating theatre and recovery times. Although any procedure is to be taken with due importance, as techniques have developed, some procedures are considerably easier to perform that they were say 15 years ago. Of course, the face is pretty much always on show in public so the desire for facial or neck surgery has always been high.

If you are considering facial surgery such as a facelift, neck lift or eye lift (blepheroplasty) , please contact me for a consultation.

My practice for cosmetic surgery in Warwick, Nuneaton and Coventry is a very well established and respected one. I have been operating in my local hospitals close to my NHS practice for many years and I am proud of the good reputation I have built. I look forward to hearing form some of you soon!
