The 2-Year Anniversary of Silicone Gel Breast Implant Approval
In the two years since the US Food and Drug Administration approved silicone gel breast implants, hundreds of thousands of women have chosen this implant type for their cosmetic breast surgery. Dr. Wang has seen a major shift in the number of women who are choosing silicone gel implants, and after two years, remains confident in the safety profile and durability of this implant type.
These days, Los Angeles breast augmentation patients have access to more information than ever before about their breast implant choices. While more information and research is always welcome, the sheer volume of studies and data can be hard to sort through. "I make a point of staying up to date on the latest research and findings related to breast implant safety and the experience of women across the country who have chosen silicone gel implants," says Dr. Wang. "This allows me to help educate my patients so that they can make informed choices about which implant type will be most effective in meeting their needs."
Dr. Wang offers a full range of cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery options to:
- Create a fuller profile through breast augmentation
- Lift breasts that have begun to sag
- Even out disproportionately-sized breasts
- Reconstruct breasts after mastectomy
- Decrease the size of overly large breasts
After two years, silicone gel breast implants have become extremely popular and have helped hundreds of women at Dr. Wang's practice create a naturally-enhanced look and feel to their breasts. In the coming years, Dr. Wang expects to see even more women choose this breast enhancement option. If you would like more information about implant options, please give us a call 888-360-6688 or send us an email.
Choosing Affordable Cosmetic Options
Almost everyone is on a tighter budget these days, but that doesn't mean that your appearance has to pay the price. At Wang Plastic Surgery, a number of affordable cosmetic enhancements are available. In addition to his Los Angeles cosmetic surgery procedures for the face, Dr. Wang also provides top non-surgical options that help you look vibrant and refreshed, while still keeping an eye on your budget.
Cost-effective options at the practice include:
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX can effectively smooth out the lines that appear when you smile or frown. This injectable treatment provides exceptional value and pleasing results, which is why its popularity continues to increase.
Dermal Fillers
Not everyone's skin is the same, so we offer a range of options to improve the appearance of wrinkles, restore volume in the lips or cheeks, and fill hollows created by age or sun damage. Choose injectable fillers including collagen injections, Restylane®, Radiesse®, and JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel.
Facelift without Surgery
Contour ThreadLift™ offers benefits similar to a traditional facelift, but at a lower cost and without the discomfort or recovery period associated with surgery. This procedure uses tiny threads under the skin to support and smooth your tissues.
Light-Based Skin Therapy
Laser skin rejuvenation uses light energy to destroy dead skin cells and invigorate your tissues. This process is noninvasive and quick, and improves collagen production to encourage firmer, younger-looking skin naturally.
Hand, Face, and Body Rejuvenation
Thermage® radiofrequency treatments penetrate to the deep layers of the skin and promote production of firming collagen, at the same time as they tighten and smooth skin at the surface.
Physician-Strength Skincare
Healthy skin is essential for a younger look and rejuvenated appearance. Dr. Wang offers a full menu of quality skin care products including Obagi® and NIA24™ skin care systems to nourish skin and prevent or correct facial aging.
Patient Financing in the "Credit Crunch"
In these financially difficult times it becomes increasingly important for cosmetic surgery patients to have readily available ways to finance their procedures. We understand the challenges presented by the "credit crunch," so we offer a variety of cosmetic surgery financing resources to help you enjoy your new look without the stress of unreasonable or unaffordable payments.
We work with some of the most popular and flexible financing companies, including:
While it remains true that most purely cosmetic procedures are not covered by medical insurance, many health insurance providers will cover some or all of the cost of procedures such as breast reconstruction. We are happy to work with your insurance provider to minimize your out of pocket expense.
To learn more about your cosmetic surgery financing choices, and to find out which options would be most cost-effective for your needs and budget, schedule a consultation by calling us at 888-360-6688, or contact us online.
