Are you ready to make some changes to your overall look as swimsuit season approaches? Are your breasts sagging and not looking as youthful as they once did? Breast Augmentation may be the answer.

Breast augmentation, commonly referred to as a boob job, involves using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of your breasts. The procedure can achieve a more rounded breast shape, improve asymmetry in the breasts and restore breast volume. Breast volume is often lost after significant weight loss or pregnancy.

Breast augmentation involves placing implants into the breasts for a larger, fuller looking chest area. Implants can be used for reconstructive purposes, such as after a mastectomy for breast cancer, or for cosmetic reasons.

What breast augmentation surgery can do:

• Improve balance of breast and hip contours
• Increase fullness and projection of your breasts
• Enhance your self-image and self-confidence.

Sometimes, to help correct sagging, Dr. McLain will perform a breast lift – or Mastopexy in addition to augmentation to give you a more pleasing look.

There are two types of breast implants: Silicone gel, and saline

Silicone gel-filled implants are silicone shells filled with a cosmetic gel. Many women say that these types of implants feel more natural, however, they can post more problems should an implant develop a leak.

Saline implants are silicone shells filled with sterile salt water. Some are pre-filled, some are filled during the surgical procedure. Dr. McClain will discuss this with you at your consultation.

Both saline and silicone implants come in different sizes and have either smooth or textured shells.

Before your breast implant procedure, you will meet with Dr. McClain for a medical evaluation. You may talk with him about your own expectations, as well as ask him any questions you may have about the procedure and recovery period.

Dr. McClain and his staff will work with you to ensure that your expectations are attainable so that you will be pleased with your new breasts.

Xeomin Injections 

Xeomin is a prescription treatment which helps in improving facial aesthetics. This is an FDA approved treatment that temporarily reduces the appearance of glabellar lines. It allows one to appear younger. Xeomin contains naked botulinum toxin, a type of neurotoxin. There are no additional proteins that may cling to active ingredients.

Final results following the treatment generally take a day or two to appear completely. Xeomin is similar to Botox and Dysport in all other aspects. You should compare the cost of Xeomin with other noninvasive treatment options. Your cosmetic surgeon will discuss the advantages and limitations of the procedure to help you make a well-educated decision.

Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Landon D. McLain provides Xeomin wrinkle reduction injections to patients in Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and surrounding locations.

Cost of Xeomin vs. Plastic Surgery

Xeomin is more cost effective as compared to other cosmetic and noninvasive treatments. You don’t need anesthesia or sedation for the injectable. You can resume everyday activities right after the procedure. Facial rejuvenation and anti-aging procedures are usually expensive. This is particularly true for chemical peels, RF, ultrasounds, and lasers.

Skin care treatments, in most cases, require more than a single session. However, you can acquire salient results in just one sitting in the case of Xeomin. The injections are more cost effective as compared to other facial rejuvenation procedure. It doesn’t require anesthesia, post-operative recovery, or multiple consultations.

Different Xeomin Rates

Xeomin is an individualized treatment plan which can be changed for suiting individual needs and goals. The cost of treatment can marginally differ between two practices and patients getting the procedure in the same practice. Extensive treatments and off-label procedures cost more than regular ones as a rule. This includes using Xeomin for removing frown lines and crow’s feet. You may need to pay more for the product if you want to reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds.

Beware of Low-Priced Offers

Xeomin parties and other off-site procedures are becoming popular. They are attracting people by offering abnormally low process. However, it’s vital that Xeomin only be administered by a trained treatment provider. As per the FDA, the injectable should only be administered by experienced and trained injectors. This is because of the many side effects of botulinum type A, a powerful neurotoxin.

Xeomin is Cost Effective

Xeomin was found to last longer and work faster as per a randomized, double-blind study. The study involved 180 people and assessed their appearance over a 6-month period. Women were found to experience greater benefits as compared to men. Xeomin may be more cost effective as compared to Botox because of longevity of results based on this study.

Insurance Coverage and Financing Options

Xeomin treatments are not covered by the typical healthcare insurance provider. This is particularly for cosmetic wrinkle reduction. However, the treatment may be covered if it is a medical necessity. You can also make use of several financing options for paying for the procedure. These financing options are offered by third party medical care financing firms.

At what age should you consider having a cosmetic surgery procedure? There is no right or wrong answer; it usually depends upon what you think is the right time for you.

Whatever your age, when you’re ready, Dr. Landon McLain has the skills and experience to bring you optimal results with every procedure.

Teenagers

While cosmetic surgery is not common amongst teenagers, there are good reasons for considering surgery at this age. Rhinoplasty is the most common teen surgery. It is performed after the nose reaches its full adult size. For girls, this is usually at 14 or 15, and 17 for boys. Male breast reduction is another popular choice for teenagers, as well as otoplasty to correct prominent ears for both boys and girls. 

The 20s

Far and away, breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic procedure among women in their twenties. Nose reshaping – rhinoplasty is another surgery that is popular for women in their twenties.

The 30s

While Botox and fillers are popular among all age groups, the thirties are a big year for Botox. This is a time during which you begin to notice lines and wrinkles are developing. Though the signs are generally minor at this age, early treatment goes a long way in slowing down the visible aging process.

Many women in their thirties who are finished having children will opt for a Mommy Makeover. Breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction and breast lift surgery are all very popular in this age group.

The 40s and 50s

This is a time when you begin to see the real signs of aging. Blepharoplasty, or an eye lift, is very popular among men and women in this age group. Dr. McLain removes excess skin, fat and muscle from the eyelid area, and it can be very rejuvenating.

BOTOX and soft-tissue fillers are also a hot choice in this age group to help slow the signs of aging.  Some patients will need surgical correction starting at this age… including facelifts and forehead lifts.

55+

By far, the most popular procedure after one reaches 55, and thereafter, is the facelift. The forehead lift is a close second. These procedures tighten sagging skin and muscle for a much more youthful appearance. BOTOX and fillers may also be used in conjunction with these procedures to give you that younger look.

Whatever your age, when you feel like it is time to make changes that will leave you looking and feeling younger, contact Dr. McLain’s office to schedule your consultation appointment.

Xeomin Injections

Xeomin is a botulinum toxin type A compound, which is approved for treating wrinkles, frown lines, and the vertical parallel lines between the brows. Xeomin and Botox work on the exact same mechanism of blocking signals from the nerves, which causes the muscles to relax. This helps in smoothing out wrinkles.

The primary difference between Xeomin and Botox is that Botox contains inactive accompanying proteins, where as Xeomin does not contain any additives. Xeomin contains a more purified or naked form of botulinum toxin without any accessory proteins.

Xeomin doesn’t require foreign accessory proteins for functioning. You can get the same results without injecting yourself with unnecessary proteins. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Landon D. McLain provides Xeomin wrinkle reduction injections to patients in Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and surrounding communities.

Xeomin Benefits

• Smoothens the appearance of lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows, in the forehead, around the eyes, and around the mouth
• Blocks signals from the nerve to the muscles, which causes muscles to relax and prevents further wrinkling
• Fast recovery time, short treatment time, and noticeable results
• Less likely to cause allergies because of no added fillers

Xeomin is Naked Botox

Xeomin is commonly called naked Botox, because of the purity of the product. Botox contains associated proteins that results in desensitization of other proteins. This is similar to getting allergy shots that result in desensitization. This is one of the reasons why Botox stops working after a few years. Naked Xeomin doesn’t contain these proteins, which is why desensitization doesn’t occur with the product.

Xeomin Treatment Expectations

Xeomin is a fairly simple treatment. The actual process doesn’t take more than 10 minutes. Your treatment provider will numb the area. But, you may feel a slight pinch when the needle is injected. The number of injections will differ depending on the treated area size.

Aftercare

You would need to keep your hands away from your face for three hours after the injection. You should avoid lying down or performing any vigorous activity for 4 – 6 hours. This is to make sure the product remains where it is supposed to go and doesn’t track anywhere else.

You may need to wait for a full week to see complete results. Good and bad results can be seen 3 – 7 days following the treatment. Results usually last for about 3 months. Problems associated with the injection are usually because of the treatment provider and not the product.

Final Word

Xeomin doesn’t contain any additive proteins or the extra stuff. This is the perfect option for you if additives ring an alarm in your mind. Xeomin is an accessible wrinkle-reversing and wrinkle-prevention treatment that is significantly more affordable compared to various types of invasive treatments for facial rejuvenation.

Your first goal should be to choose a skilled and experienced treatment provider with a proven track record of performing different surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Landon D. McLain receives patients from Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and nearby areas for Xeomin injectables to treat facial signs of aging.

If you have reached the age of 50, you’ve seen aging changes that require more than good skin care. This is a time in our lives when facial rejuvenation is a good thing to consider. Dr. Landon McLain is certified to perform these procedures that can take years off your face.

What is facial rejuvenation? It encompasses several procedures that may be done separately or in conjunction with one another. Among these are:

Blepharoplasty

This is a type of surgery that corrects droopy eyelids and improves the appearance of the eyelids. Surgery can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both. Eyelid surgery can treat:

• Fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the eyelids
• Bags under the eyes
• Loose or sagging skin on the upper eyelids
• Drooping lower lids
• Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower lids

Whether you want to improve your appearance or are experiencing functional problems with your eyelids, eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the area surrounding your lids.

Brow Lift

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift:

• Improves frown lines between the eyebrows
• Reduces wrinkle lines that develop horizontally across the forehead
• Raises sagging brows that are hooding the upper eyelids
• Places the eyebrows in an alert and youthful position

A brow lift is one step in helping rejuvenate the upper face.

Facelift

A facelift is a surgical procedure that improves signs of aging in your lower face and neck. The procedure involves repositioning and removing skin, fat and muscle to achieve your desired result.

The loss of youthful contours in the face can be due to a variety of factors, including thinning of the skin, which happens as we age, loss of facial fat, sun damage, gravity, and smoking, as well as heredity and stress.

If you are ready for a new you and you want to look refreshed and rested, contact the South Huntsville office of Dr. Landon McLain. You can schedule a consultation with him about achieving a more refreshed appearance.

Botox vs. Xeomin

Cosmetic medicine has made injectables popular for promoting younger and smoother looking skin. Botox and Xeomin are two injectable treatments commonly used for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Both Botox and Xeomin contain botulinum toxin type A. This is a neurotoxin created by Clostridium botulinum, a type of bacterial species. The neurotoxin works by blocking neuromuscular signals for relaxing targeted muscles at the site of the injection.

These injectable treatments may contain the same active compound, but they are different in their uses and formulation. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Landon D. McLain provides Botox and Xeomin wrinkle reduction injections to patients in Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and surrounding locations.

Main Differences between Botox and Xeomin

The primary difference between Botox and Xeomin is that the latter contains a more naked or raw form of botulinum toxin. This is unlike Botox, which contains accessory proteins. Xeomin is designed for delivering the toxin without any protein additives. This purified structure prevents antibody resistance, which is an increasing problem with injectables.

Xeomin, manufactured by Merz Pharma, can be stored in a refrigerator, freezer, or at room temperature before using. Botox, manufactured by Allergan, needs to be refrigerated before use.

Botox and Xeomin: What Conditions Can They Treat?

In 2010, Xeomin was FDA approved for treating fine lines and glabellar lines along with a number of other conditions. Xeomin can temporarily get rid of forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet too as a cosmetic treatment. It can treat excessive salivation and drooling along with abnormal muscle contractions of the eyelids, limbs, and the neck.

Initially, Botox was FDA approved in 2002 for cosmetically reducing frown lines on the face. It can be used for addressing other conditions as well, such as urinary incontinence and excessive sweating. Botox is also proved for treating migraines and headaches. Botox, like Xeomin, can treat abnormal contractions and muscle spasms of the neck, limbs, and eyelids.

Which Injection is More Effective?

Botox and Xeomin are both effective treatments for cosmetic purposes. They are convenient treatments where administration is concerned as compared to invasive procedures, such as cosmetic surgery. Both Botox and Xeomin start working once they are injected within the muscle. For cosmetic purposes, the complete effect may not be seen until 7 to 14 days after the injection.

Is Botox and Xeomin the Same?

Both Botox and Xeomin contain botulinum toxin. However, they are not the same. Xeomin, unlike Botox, contains a different form of botulinum toxin, which is free from accessory proteins. Xeomin has less storage restrictions, which means that it doesn’t require refrigeration.

Longevity – Botox vs. Xeomin

Botulinum toxin injections can last for at least three months. Some people may experience results that last for 4 – 5 months depending on the dose injected and the treated area. As per a few studies, women that received Xeomin for improving glabellar lines had longer-lasting results as compared to the ones that got Botox.

Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Landon D. McLain receives patients from Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and nearby areas for Botox and Xeomin injectables to treat facial signs of aging.

Do you feel like your eyes are aging you? Are your lids beginning to droop causing your eyes to look hooded? Do you look tired all the time – even when you are rested? Blepharoplasty may offer the answers for a more youthful eye area.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that repairs droopy eyelids. As we age, our eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them weaken. Surgery to correct this can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both.

Whether you want to improve your appearance, or you are experiencing functional problems with your eyelids – eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the area surrounding your eyes.

Some things that eyelid surgery can correct include:

• Bags under the eyes
• Fatty deposits that appear as puffiness on the eyelids
• Loose or sagging skin on the eyelids that sometimes causes vision problems
• Drooping lower eyelids that reveal white below the iris
• Excess skin and wrinkles that appear below the lower lids

While this surgery is usually done for cosmetic reasons, it is also an effective way to improve sight in older people whose sagging upper eyelids get in the way of their vision.

Eyelid surgery won’t get rid of dark circles under the eyes, crow’s feet or other facial wrinkles. It is often done along with other procedures such as laser resurfacing, filler injections, or forehead lifts.

The best candidates for an eye lift are people who are in good health and who have a realistic expectation of what they want. Most are 35 years or older, but if baggy or droopy eyelids run in your family, you may decide to have the procedure at an earlier age.

Dr. McLain will discuss all of this in your consultation. He will help you decide what you want and what you can expect from your eyelid surgery. He will also tell you what you will need to do pre-op and after your surgery.

After eyelid surgery, expect to stay home from work and limit your activities for several days while your eyelids heal. You may also experience dry eyes for a few days.

If you are considering eyelid surgery, contact Dr. McLain’s office to schedule your consultation, today.

 

Brow Lift

Are you tired of looking tired even when you’re rested? Aging causes many changes in the way we look, including sagging skin on the face. If you want a more youthful and restful look, you may be a candidate for a Brow Lift.

The Brow Lift, also known as a forehead lift, raises the eyebrows to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and frown lines and to lift sagging skin. You may choose to have a brow lift if you have a low, sagging brow or brow asymmetry.

A brow lift can provide some of the following benefits:

• Improve frown lines, the vertical creases that develop between the eyebrows
• Reduce wrinkle lines that develop horizontally across the forehead
• Reduce wrinkles that occur on the bridge of the nose, between the eyes
• Raise sagging brows that are hooding the upper eyelids
• Place the eyebrows in an alert and youthful position

Dr. McLain will discuss with you what you can expect from your brow lift. He will examine you to ensure that you have the best outcome. He will also tell you what to do before surgery, and what aftercare will be required once you are at home and healing.

Brow lift techniques vary depending on your desired results. Dr. McLain will discuss with you the technique he will use for your surgery. The procedure will be done in a surgical facility and you will be placed under general anesthesia.

You will be given specific instructions on how to care for your incisions. In the first few days after your brow lift:

• Rest with your head elevated and take pain medication as prescribed by Dr. McLain
• Apply cold compresses to relieve swelling
• Avoid any activity that causes excessive pressure or motion

Depending on your needs and desires, Dr. McLain may also perform other procedures along with your brow lift. These may include upper and lower eyelid surgery, a facelift and skin resurfacing.

Facial & Skin Rejuvenation

Your skin is the largest and aesthetically most visible organ in your body. Signs of aging, such as wrinkles and lines, blemishes, scars, acne, and other skin imperfections can make you look dull, tired, or older than your actual age. You can fight off these ill effects of aging, gravity, and sun damage with a number of non-invasive aesthetic treatments.

Your facial treatment expert will assess your skin type and current skin condition, personal aesthetic goals, and lifestyle for creating a personalized facial solution. They will make use of advanced techniques, such as serums, steam, and specialty products for opening clogged pores and cleansing the skin thoroughly.

The product is made from precisely blended acids that are both fast and effective in dramatically reducing the appearance of aging, dark spots, scarring, and acne.

It doesn’t matter whether you undergo a chemical peel for reducing the signs of aging or treating a skin condition, you can experience the following:

• Fewer lines and wrinkles
• More even skin tone and color
• Dazzling complexion
• Smoother skin

Dermaplaning

The process involves skimming damaged and dead skin cells and hair from the face for creating a radiant and smooth look. Your cosmetic surgeon will make use of a high-precision exfoliating blade for performing this noninvasive procedure.

Besides skin renewal, dermaplaning can also help towards reducing the effect of unsightly pockmarks and acne related scarring. Your treatment expert will scrape away dead cells, debris, and scar tissue from the topmost skin layers. This helps in promoting the generation of new collagen fibers within deeper layers of the skin for long-term skin enhancement.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a type of gentle and effective method for permanently diminishing unwanted hair from your body. The treatment can be carried out using specialized laser devices. Laser hair removal makes use of innovative devices that are designed for ensuring comfort and efficacy.

The treatment is most effective in the growing stages of hair. Your hair grows in cycles. Patients may need 4 – 6 sessions of the procedure for maximum results.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment for you if you currently deal with irritated, dry, or rough skin. The treatment makes use of a brush for polishing the topmost layer of skin that contains dead skin cells. Microdermabrasion can help in increasing blood flow for collagen stimulation. This eventually results in stronger skin and improved elasticity.

You can improve minor irregularities with this, such as sun damage. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Landon D. McLain receives patients from Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and nearby areas for innovative and advanced med spa services, including facial and skin rejuvenation procedures.

Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift – Which is Right for You?

Have you decided to make changes to your body? Perhaps you have noticed the changes from aging, or you have finished having babies and breast feeding – you are ready to give your bust line a rejuvenation. But how to proceed is the question – a breast lift or breast implants?

Breast augmentation, commonly referred to as a boob job, involves using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of your breasts. The procedure can achieve a more rounded breast shape, improve asymmetry in the breasts and restore breast volume. Breast volume is often lost after significant weight loss or pregnancy.

What breast augmentation surgery can do:

• Improve balance of breast and hip contours
• Increase fullness and projection of your breasts
• Enhance your self-image and self-confidence.

What breast augmentation cannot do:

• Correct severely drooping breasts

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour.

With aging, weight loss or after pregnancy, the nipple area becomes enlarged. A breast lift will reduce this, as well.

What a breast lift can do:

• Rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is more youthful and uplifted.

What a breast lift cannot do:

• Change the size of your breasts
• Round out the upper part of your breasts

Oftentimes, breast lifting can be done at the same time as breast augmentation.

Dr. McLain will consult with you on your goals for a more youthful appearance. He will help you decide what will work best for you – breast augmentation, breast lift -or both.
