Selecting the best plastic surgeon is an important decision.  You will want to select a surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and have experience in your particular desired procedure.  Plastic surgery recovery is another important factor to consider prior to making your decision.  You will want to know exactly what to expect not only as it relates to results but also the amount of time needed to recover.

To achieve optimal results, your plastic surgeon will recommend that you wear a Compression Garment immediately following your liposuction procedure and for several weeks thereafter.  ContourMD offers a complete line of Compression wear allowing you to Recover in Comfort.  View the Compression Garments doctors recommend.

Your doctor will instruct you to purchase and wear a Compression Garment following your Abdominal Procedure.  Abdominal Compression Garments will help to reduce swelling and increase blood circulation allowing for a faster recovery.  These garments are worn immediately after surgery and for several weeks following the surgery for optimal results. 

Prepare for your initial consultation with your plastic surgeon by making a list of questions and concerns.  Your surgeon will discuss with you your expectations and desires for surgery.  He/she will examine your breasts and body and advise you of the type, method, and placement of implants that best suit you.  Remember that every patient is unique and requires an individual analysis and plan.  To find a board certified plastic surgeon click here.

There are two options when it comes to Implant Placement; Sub Glandular (in front of the pectoral muscle) and Sub Muscular (behind the pectoral muscle).  Sub Muscular placement increases the padding overlying the implant offering more coverage and camouflage to the shape of the implant.  This is helpful in women bearing very little or no breast tissue at all.  Sub Glandular is for patients wanting a bigger rounder look such as dancers who request DD or larger.
