Will A BBL Fix Hip Dips?

By | Body, Fat Transfer, Brazilian Butt Lift
Hip dips are small dips towards the bottom portion of the hips that can interrupt the perfect hip contour. They are a perfectly normal feature of the body, but many patients prefer a smoother hip contour. So, will a BBL fix hip dips? Yes, even though the focus of a BBL—or Brazilian butt lift—is buttock augmentation fat is often transferred into the hips as well to create the perfect body contour. This can help correct hip dips. It also does not take much fat to address the hips dips and it can improve the results of a BBL. Dr. Jonov can also perform only hip dip correction without other areas of fat transfer. However, most of the time, it is advantageous for the patient to undergo another fat transfer procedure at the same time. Dr. Jonov can discuss options for BBL surgery or hip dip fat transfer during a consultation at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery. To learn more and schedule a consultation, call us at 425-775-3561.

Are Fillers The Only Lip Augmentation Option?

By | Juvederm®, Injectable Fillers, Fat Transfer, Restylane® SILK
Dermal fillers like Restylane and Juvederm are the most popular way to plump the lips. The filler has few risks or side effects and often looks and feels natural. Lip fillers also have an easy reversal option and patients can choose to not refresh their filler. This makes it one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures.    Are fillers the only lip augmentation option? The short answer is no. There are other surgical and non-surgical options that can enhance the appearance of your lips. Starting with the non-surgical lip enhancements other than fillers, BOTOX injections can be used to bring out more of the upper lip to treat the appearance of thinness. This treatment–known as a BOTOX lip flip–does not usually affect the bottom lip.    Many regular filler patients tire of routine injections and want to find a more permanent lip augmentation option. For these patients, silicone lip implants can sometimes provide lower maintenance lip augmentation. Lip implants require a larger amount of commitment because the removal process is not as seamless as fillers. For some patients who regularly have fillers or who require larger scale corrections, lip implants may be an option that saves money in the long run. Fat transfer to the lips is another surgical option that can last longer than dermal fillers.    To schedule a consultation with Dr. Jonov, call us at 425-775-3561 or contact us online.

The Wide Variety Of Fat Transfer Procedures

By | Liposuction, Fat Transfer, Brazilian Butt Lift
Fat transfer procedures have revolutionized the cosmetic surgery industry in recent years. While cosmetic surgeons have used fat transfer for over a hundred years to correct major scars and disfigurements, usually from wartime injuries, fat grafting has continued to see advancements as fat harvesting saw improvements. Today, fat grafting, liposuction, and subsequent transfer have become among the most popular body contouring procedures.  Firstly, like the original uses of the procedure, facial fat transfer can fill in facial hollows, correct acne scarring, and address other facial scarring. Normally, the fat is injected through a small cannula. This can rejuvenate the face for a younger appearance and for reconstructive purposes. As liposuction saw advancements, fat transfer procedures did also. Fat transfer to the breasts and Brazilian butt lifts are among two of the most popular procedures. During these procedures, Dr. Jonov  harvests fat from one site of the body, often the abdomen or thighs. Then, he transfers it via injection into the butt or breasts.  Fat can also be used as a filler, adding volume to targeted areas. Sometimes fat harvesting can happen on a smaller scale to fill in the tear troughs, augment the lips, or as cheek filler. There are many options for your fat transfer in Bellevue.  To schedule a consultation with Dr. Jonov at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, call us at 425-775-3561 or contact us online.

By | PSA, SmartLipo, Body, Liposuction, Fat Transfer
Liposuction is one of the most well-known fat removal procedures in cosmetic surgery. With little to no scarring and usually permanent results, liposuction is a procedure that can help you achieve a slimmer, more contoured body.  Due to this, it is a common misconception that liposuction can simply suck away excess fat and help you lose weight. This is untrue. The procedure is designed to remove diet and exercise-resistant fat deposits around the body. While it is possible to lose a couple pounds after the procedure, this is only true of especially extensive cases. Usually,  removing fat from multiple points. Rarely does liposuction remove more than ten pounds of fat.  The best candidates are those who have lost weight in other areas and need help removing stubborn pockets of fat from the areas resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction is also utilized during various fat transfer procedures like Brazilian butt lifts.  Dr. Jonov can determine if liposuction on its own, or in combination with another procedure, could benefit you and your cosmetic goals.
