- Breast Implants; What are Your Options?Charlotte Plastic Surgery's Dr. Jack F. Scheuer III speaks on breast augmentation, better known as breast implant, options and which ones may be the best depending on someone's physique and what they are looking to accomplish. There are a few deciding factors that need to go into breast augmentation before making the final decision to have this type of surgical procedure done. The first of these is size. Breast implant size is one of the most important characteristics that determine the end result of a breast augmentation procedure. Breast implant size is measured in ccs, typically from 200cc to 600cc. Implant size choices usually come down to a combination of the patient's anatomy and the degree of naturalness of the desired final result. Another factor to consider is the type of surgical incision that the surgeon will make when the operation is underway. This is a decision that your surgeon can help you with and should be consulted on before undergoing surgery.

The goal here for surgeons like Dr. Nyame, and others, is to prevent individuals from resorting to multiple consultations and surgeries to acquire a look that they will never achieve. Educating those who come in for consultations on the danger of repetitive surgeries and the potential harm it can cause them is what makes Charlotte Plastic Surgery and its surgeons stand out from many other practices.

When considering a procedure such as liposuction, Dr. Nyame suggests that a patient who is already at their ideal weight and not looking to lose more weight are perfect candidates for liposuction. Liposuction is also best for those looking to have a procedure done on a very specific and targeted area of the body that's bothering them.

- Gynecomastia Treatment Options at Charlotte Plastic SurgeryIn this video, Dr. Nyame explains that all men have some degree of breast tissue.

Fortunately, says Dr. Nyame, there are several options available. According to Dr. Nyame, for men with just excess fat, liposuction is a great Gynecomastia treatment option. Sometimes, however, the excess fat is accompanied by a moderate amount of excess skin. In this case, Dr. Nyame recommends both liposuction and removal of the excess skin. In more severe cases of excessive skin, cases in which the skin hangs done from the breast, the best Gynecomastia treatment option is removal of both fat and skin as well as replacement of the nipple. This procedure pulls the nipple back up to a normal location.

- Tummy Tuck Recovery with ExparelTummy tuck surgery can provide patients with lasting improvements to the midsection by removing excess skin and reducing the belly bulge caused by weakened abdominal muscles. However, keep in mind that to achieve optimal results, you’ll need to avoid positions that place a strain on the treated area during your recovery. In addition to using a no-drain tummy tuck technique most plastic surgeons offer Exparel for continuing pain control. This non-narcotic, non-opioid pain reliever is injected directly into the abdominal tissue, fascia, and muscles and acts as a nerve block. Exparel contains a medication called bupivacaine, which is released slowly into the surgical site and can help manage pain for up to 72 hours post-op, making recovery more comfortable. Often oral pain medication can cause nausea, constipation, drowsiness, and other side effects. Many patients who opt for Exparel report less need for narcotic pain medication. This reduction can lead to reduced side effects. Additionally, Exparel can save you money. Purchasing additional prescription pain medications can be expensive and add hundreds of dollars to your procedure. Charlotte Plastic Surgery is nationally-recognized and offers expertise in many different services and procedures.
- Bluelight - How it effects your skinDr. Kevin Smith of Charlotte Plastic Surgery joined Good Day Charlotte to discuss the negative effects of blue-light. More specifically he discusses on how it damages the skin and what people can do to prevent this from happening. Evolving research has shown that blue light can be bad for skin. It’s certain that blue light in the 380–400 nm range is problematic, although the risk seems to lessen somewhat toward the top end at 500 nm. Long-term blue light exposure to concentrated sources of blue light energy can cause skin damage, including color changes, inflammation, and weakening of the skin’s surface. Simply put, blue light promotes stressors in skin that cause photo-aging; that is, aging from exposure to light. Without question, sunlight is the main source of blue light to which we are exposed; digital devices emit only a fraction of that amount of radiation, however we still need to be cognizant of how much we are using our devices. A major difference is that our phones are much closer to us than the sun, and this “close-up” exposure matters. In contrast, blue light UV is more diffuse and much further away. A simple solution for blue light protection is to cover your phone and tablet with a blue light screen shield. It’s a cheap fix, eliminating the need to worry about skin care or sunglasses when using your phone or tablet (if only it were that easy for your skin and the sun). Whether it’s the light from sun exposure or from your smartphone, without question, you need to protect your eyes during the day. Limiting screen time is the best method to avoid blue light exposure. In terms of skin care to help prevent blue light damage, look for serums loaded with antioxidants and consider a skin care routine formulated with ingredients proven to address the visible effects of airborne pollutants. Although blue light isn’t the same as smog, both cause unwanted skin issues.

- Exparel Injection for Plastic SurgeryIn this video, Dr. Smith, of Charlotte Plastic Surgery, discusses the growing trend of the tummy tuck and its role in the popular Mommy Makeover procedure. The tummy tuck portion of the Mommy Makeover procedure has certainly been revolutionized by the inclusion of a product called Exparel. Exparel is injected directly at the surgical site, unlike oral pain medications or anesthetics through an IV or a pain pump for long acting pain relief or rescue therapy. The pain after a surgery is usually at its peak for the first several days and Exparel helps keep that pain at bay for those first several days before it wears off. In plastic surgery, doctors have used it for cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries. Some common examples of surgeries where Exparel might be used are: • Abdominoplasties (tummy tucks with or without liposuction) • Breast Augmentation, Mastopexy (breast lift) and/or breast reduction • Breast reconstruction (in the case of patients undergoing breast cancer surgery) Exparel is injected directly at the surgical site, unlike oral pain medications or anesthetics through an IV or a pain pump for long acting pain relief or rescue therapy. The pain after a surgery is usually at its peak for the first several days and Exparel helps keep that pain at bay for those first several days before it wears off When considering a plastic surgery, the pain levels can be more significant than some other cosmetic surgeries in light of the muscles of the chest or abdomen, respectively, being involved in the surgery. The plastic surgeons as Charlotte Plastic Surgert have adopted using Exparel regularly for these, and other plastic surgeries, because of its improved recovery time and shortened hospital stays. The medication is touted to last as long as 72 hours post-operatively and therefore can help patients get to the milestone of moving out of bed sooner and decreasing their oral pain reliever use. It’s also widely recognized for its ability to help wean patients off of narcotic painkillers that they are prescribed post surgery.
