Bringing sexy back!

It's never too late to take control of your diet and exercise habits and give them a total makeover. It's no secret that as the body ages the metabolism slows down making it necessary to adjust the foods we eat, the portions we consume and the exercise programs we choose. Looking and feeling your best is a lifestyle that may also include a little help from a beauty expert.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Corbin has over 20 years experience with helping men and women create their ideal bodies. According to this beauty expert," A healthy diet and regular exercise program are the basic essentials needed to start creating a healthy, beautiful, happy body."
"I am a plastic surgeon who practices what I preach. I believe in healthy habits for life. I am the same weight I was in college. I have always worked out in combination with eating right to maintain my health and weight. I realize that this is not the case for everybody. Everyday I see patients who for whatever reason have gained weight and are unhappy with their current body shape or size. I am here to help my patients achieve their ideal body image. I believe healthy living is a lifestyle choice and so is plastic surgery. While I maintain that no one needs cosmetic surgery, there are people want it and who would definitely benefit from it."
One of Dr. Corbin's patients Robin is a true example of how a successful lifestyle change including diet and exercise combined with plastic surgery can truly transform someone from the inside out!
Age has nothing to do with looking your best! Sexy at 60, this beautiful woman proves that she can still bring her sexy back at any age!
For Robin it was time to make a change! "After spending many years taking care of my parents and letting myself go, I decided it was time for me! I started working out with a personal trainer, eating the right foods and paying more attention to myself and my appearance. In 9 months I lost 30 pounds and dropped 17% body fat. Wow, I now have incredible energy and a very positive attitude about myself and my body. The only part of my appearance that I was not happy with was my Breasts and face. The weight loss turned my 36 C breasts into 36AA breasts. It was after my weight loss I thought about a breast augmentation and facial surgery. "
Dr. Corbin states that the benefits of weigh loss can create subtle to significant physical changes some of which can't be improved with diet and exercise alone.

Robin actual patient
Robin saw many changes not only to her body, but to her face as well following weigh loss. "Because of my weight loss my face also lost fat and I had droopy looking skin which aged me. I felt I looked tired and sad which is not how I felt. After I met Dr. Corbin I also decided to have a face lift along with my breast augmentation."
According to Dr. Corbin it's not uncommon for weigh loss patients to also see a decrease amount of fat in the face which can age them. Some simple solutions for loss of volume in the face are fat injections to replace the fat or fillers to plump up the face where there is hollowness. If there is sagging of the skin then a face and or neck lift may be the best surgical route. If the skin has lost it's elasticity and has fine lines a laser may help to tighten and resurface the skin.
For Dr. Corbin's patient Robin she wanted the total makeover to bring her sexy back! "Having my facelift and breast augmentation done at the same time was the way to go! One anesthesia and one recovery period. To be honest, my breast augmentation and facelift surgeries were a very easy recovery for me. Sure my face and breasts swelled, but after 6 days I went in to see Dr. Corbin, he removed my stitches and then I went shopping!"
Dr. Corbin cautions patients that not everyone is a good candidate for multiple procedures, but Robin was in good health and she was aware of the surgical process and post operative healing time.
Robin credits Dr. Corbin and his staff for helping her through her surgery recovery. "I feel that a part of my easy recovery was due to the vitamins and specific post operative instructions given to me from Dr. Corbin's' staff. His nurses are also very helpful and caring. I am so happy with the outcome of both surgeries as I have a youthful and natural look to both my face and breasts."
From Dr. Corbin's years of experience he see's first hand the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and plastic surgery. "Often when my patients make lifestyle changes in combination with plastic surgery it becomes a catalyst for other positive changes in their lives."
For Robin, she took control of her diet, exercise and physical changes inspiring her to help others. "I am now a personal trainer helping others to look their best. I enjoy helping others like Dr. Corbin who helps people see their true potential. He is not a salesman, just a caring, talented plastic surgeon making people look their best."

Choosing the right implant size for you

I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with over 25 years experience in the field.  I frequently hear from patients what size should I go or see patients asking that question on portal sites for breast surgery.

Ultimately the patient is going to "wear" the implants she choses so she needs to have a good idea prior to surgery how big or small she is going to look.  the simplest approach I have found for my patients is to put implants in a bra with the patient wearing a tight T shirt until they come to a volume that they like.  then given their natural measurements, I can fully inform them of the risks and benefits of the size they have chosen.  I frequently tell them to ignor cup sizes as it is very difficult to predict what size they will be as cup sizes change from manufacturer to manufacturer.  It is best to chose the volume you like first and whether that is a safe choice for you given your anatomy.

Plastic Surgery Q and A - What's the Best Anesthesia for Breast Augmentation?

Question: I want breast implants, but I am scared of being put to sleep. I have never had any type of surgery in the past. What type of anesthesia is there and which one is the best for a breast aug?

Answer: There are basically three types of anesthesia available: 1) Straight local. The doctor injects medication into the area that he plans to operate on and this medication contains something in it to both numb the area and to shrink the blood vessels. 2) Local with sedation. An IV sedation is started prior to surgery and through that IV sedation, medication is given prior to injecting the local. This helps decrease any pain associated with local sedation. 3) General anesthesia. The patient is brought to the operating room and an IV is started and the patient goes to sleep. While asleep a local anesthesia may or may not be used. This last technique with general anesthesia is the most popular because the patient is totally unaware of what is going on and feels absolutely no pain during the procedure. Generally for the comfort of my breast augmentation patients my anesthesiologist uses general anesthia or a combination of local and general.

Plastic Surgery Q and A - How long before I can mess around after Breast Augmentation?

Question: Hi Dr.C this is Tracy. You just did a breast augmentation on me last week. When I came in to see you for my post op appointment I was so excited I forgot to ask you a personal question. This is kind of embarrassing, but here goes. I am wondering when I can start having sex. I feel great, but I don't want to mess anything up.

Answer: There really is no definite answer to this question. It can vary from patient to patient. Generally, you should wait 2 to 3 weeks before having sex. Even at this time you should be careful not to put pressure on the breast implants and surgical sites and not to play too rough. I just had a patient who came in 2 weeks following her breast augmentation because her husband grabbed her breast too firmly. Afterwards it swelled and she felt uncomfortable. Luckily there was no damage done and really nothing to be overly concerned about. Even though you feel great the healing process takes some time. As long as you and your partner are respectful and aware of this process you should be fine having sex after breast surgery.

Plastic Surgery Q and A - Breast Augmentation Recovery Time

Question: Dr. Corbin, I am thinking about getting a breast augmentation. I work full time, but I have 2 weeks vacation. How will I feel after surgery? How many days off work will I need to recover? Should I take the entire 2 weeks off work to recover? And when can I start exercising? Thanks for your help. 
Answer: Each patient heals differently: however, most patients say the first day after surgery is the most uncomfortable. Following breast augmentation surgery, some patients may experience temporary swelling, soreness, change in nipple sensation and possible bruising. In terms of how many days you will need to recover this too varies. Generally speaking most breast aug patients take 5 to 7 days off of work. If you have a physically demanding job than more time would be recommended and maybe 2 week recovery period would be advisable. For the average patient, exercise and strenuous activity may be done at 3 to 4 weeks after the operation. Activity is discussed individually with each patient as it depends on the type of exercise, the length of the exercising program and how well the patient is healing. Thanks for your questions.
