Breast Augmentation Birmingham Alabama - Breast Implants Birmingham Alabama

Breast Augmentation
Hedden Plastic Surgery offers breast augmentation in multiple areas throughout Alabama, providing women the opportunity to have the curves of their dreams. Have you dreamed of having the full, shapely breasts that nature didn't give you? If so, consider the plastic surgery procedure known as breast augmentation. Breast augmentation is a safe, increasingly common way to enhance your feminine curves and increase your level of self-confidence. Breast augmentation results are discreet-no one has to know but you! During the breast augmentation procedure, an incision is made under the arm, around the nipple, above the belly button, or under the breast, and a saline-filled implant is gently placed under or over the pectoral muscles. The incision is then stitched closed and left to heal. Side effects of breast augmentation plastic surgery typically include swelling, bruising, tenderness, and a temporary decrease in nipple sensitivity, but most subside within a few weeks. The entire breast augmentation procedure takes about one hour to complete at our Birmingham, Alabama facility. Cost: $2,500 + nominal facility fee.

Breast Lift/Mastopexy
As we age, breasts may begin to sag, droop, or stretch, losing their fullness and natural elasticity. Breast lift is an excellent solution to this effect of aging. Designed to gently restore breasts to their natural, youthful state, this procedure can turn back the hands of time! During breast lift, excess skin, fat, and tissue are carefully snipped away, and remaining skin is tightened and lifted. The areola and nipple are adjusted for the most natural effect, and the breasts are left to heal in their new position. Side effects include scarring, bruising, swelling, general discomfort, and loss of sensitivity in the breasts, but most disappear within a few weeks' time. Breast lift is often performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as breast reduction or breast augmentation. Contact our plastic surgery office in Alabama today to learn more about breast lift!

Breast lift with Breast Augmentation
Breast lift is an effective way to obtain a firmer, youthful-looking bust line, but when performed in conjunction with breast augmentation, results can be even more amazing. Trimming away excess fat, skin, and tissue and lifting the breasts allows for the creation of a perfect "built-in bra." Dr. Hedden uses this built-in bra to place the breast augmentation implants in the most natural looking position possible. The end result of this breast augmentation procedure performed at our Alabama practice will be full, shapely, and perky breasts that look completely natural.

Breast Reduction Surgery
We also offer breast reduction surgery at Hedden Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, Alabama because often times too-large breasts can make some women self-conscious, and they also can be extremely uncomfortable and inconvenient. When women with such curves do find bras that fit, they are often left with indentations in their shoulders. They also might have trouble finding clothing that flatters but doesn't accentuate, and they may experience discomfort during exercise as well as normal day-to-day activities. But luckily, these women don't have to suffer. Breast reduction surgery is a safe, permanent way to make the breasts smaller and more proportionate to the body, ultimately increasing a patient's level of comfort and reducing her level of insecurity. During the breast reduction procedure, unnecessary fat, tissue, and skin are carefully extracted or trimmed away, and remaining skin is positioned around the newly shaped breast. Side effects of breast reduction surgery, which often takes three hours to complete, include general discomfort, inflammation, scarring, bruising, and tenderness; however, these diminish as the breasts heal.

Breast Reconstruction
While it has saved thousands of lives, mastectomy, the removal of the breast to treat breast cancer, has left many women feeling insecure about their bodies. Breast deformities have taken the same toll on women's self esteem. An excellent plastic surgery option, breast reconstruction is an involved but effective procedure designed to restore feminine curves, and ultimately, to improve one's level of self-confidence. Typically performed in stages over a six-month period, breast reconstruction plastic surgery uses either implants or the patient's own tissue to fashion a new, realistic-looking breast. Of course, each patient's plastic surgery treatment plan is personalized to meet her personal needs.

Nipple Reconstruction
The loss of a nipple as a result of mastectomy or lumpectomy does not have to be permanent. Dr. Hedden is extensively trained in nipple reconstruction, a plastic surgery procedure designed to restore the breast's natural appearance and ultimately increase the patient's self esteem. During the surgery, skin is grafted from other parts of the patient's body and discreetly molded into place. After healing is complete, the newly created nipple is tattooed so that it matches the color of the natural one.

BODY PROCEDURES

• Liposuction
Liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure at our Alabama practice. It is often used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise regimen because patients find that although healthy eating and regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight, they can't always get rid of ugly fat pockets on the thighs, hips, chin, arms, abdomen, back and other areas. Liposuction is a great way to eliminate problem areas and to obtain the toned physique sit-ups and running can't always give you.

• Mini Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
In addition to liposuction, another popular cosmetic surgery procedure known as a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is offered at our Alabama practice. Abdominoplasty helps you shed unwanted fat deposits. If you've got a protruding pouch on your lower abdomen that just won't go away, mini tummy tuck might do the trick.

• Full Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
In addition to the mini tummy tuck, there is the full tummy tuck at our Alabama practice. Also known as abdominoplasty, a full tummy tuck is a better option for those in need of more extensive treatment to get the results they desire.

• Endoscopic Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Yet another way to tailor the abdominoplasty procedure is with endoscopic tummy tuck. Endoscopic abdominoplasty works best on those patients who have a protruding abdomen but little extra skin.

• Arm Lift
Flabby upper arms are a common complaint for many men and women, but liposuction can rid you of this unsightly problem with relative ease. By essentially vacuuming out excess tissue and fat through a discreet incision in the arm, the physicians at Hedden Plastic Surgery can help you achieve firmer, more toned arms.

• Lower Body Lift
People who have lost a significant amount of weight — such as those who have undergone bariatric surgery — are often left with excessive amounts of loose, sagging skin that doesn't tighten on its own. Such skin can detract from the aesthetic appearance of weight loss. Lower body lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that allows for the removal of this skin. The skin is trimmed away and the remaining tissue is stretched neatly over underlying tissue and muscles.

• Thigh Lift
Heavy or flabby thighs are a problem for many women and squats, exercise and dieting can't always get rid of them. However, thigh lift has proven to be very effective in helping patients obtain thinner, more toned upper legs. Through a combination of cosmetic surgery procedures including liposuction and the surgical removal of fat and unnecessary tissue, Dr. Hedden can sculpt for you beautiful, shapely thighs.

• Butt Lift
In today's society — where Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce Knowles rule — having an ample derriere is all the rage. Unfortunately, sometimes weight gain or loss, gravity and especially age can cause the buttocks to droop, losing shape and aesthetic appeal. A cosmetic surgery procedure called a butt lift can restore your rear end's youthful shape, giving you a taut, toned rear view and a more streamlined figure. This cosmetic surgery procedure is performed using a combination of liposuction and surgical removal of excess skin and tissue, producing long-lasting, natural-looking results.

• Calf Implants
Shapely calves not only look great, but they can also increase one's self esteem. If you've been unable to obtain fuller, more proportionate calves through weightlifting or want to have sexier legs in shorts or skirts, consider calf implants. Calf implants are gently inserted below the skin on the calves, filling out too-thin legs for a more appealing appearance. Results are permanent and extremely natural-looking.

• Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
Many men suffer from gynecomastia, a condition in which extra fat and tissue accumulate in the chest area. Gynecomastia — which, though common, is very embarrassing for many men — can now be easily treated through a cosmetic surgery procedure called male breast reduction. During this treatment, excess fat is either removed with liposuction (through a discreet hole in the areola or the armpit) or removed via a scalpel-liposuction approach, a combination technique (which requires a small incision). Results are long lasting and natural-looking.

FACE PROCEDURES

• Rhinoplasty (Nasal Surgery)
Dr. William Hedden has achieved remarkable rhinoplasty results at his Alabama practice. His satisfied patients now know that, while having a too-large or misshapen nose is a very common complaint, there's a solution. Rhinoplasty — an extremely popular procedure at our Alabama practice — can give you the smaller, more proportionate nose of your dreams by correcting crookedness, damage from injuries, too-large nostrils and other problems. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of the nose, change the shape of the tip, narrow the width of the nostrils or change the angle between the nose and the upper lip.

• Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Like rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, at our Alabama practice is a very popular way to restore youth to one of your face's most observed features — your eyes. Drooping or sagging eyelids can add years to one's face, making you look much older or more tired than you are. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can virtually reverse these signs of aging, firming the skin around the eyes and restoring its natural, youthful beauty. Blepharoplasty can also help to improve vision in older patients who have hooding of their upper eyelids.

• Endoscopic Browlift
The forehead and eyebrow region often show noticeable signs of aging. Looseness in these structures may cause drooping eyebrows, eyelid hooding, forehead furrows and frown lines. A popular procedure to restore your youthful beauty at our Alabama practice is an endoscopic browlift, where the structures are tightened or altered to smooth the forehead, raise the upper eyebrows and improve frown lines.

• Subperiosteal or Intraoral Mid-face Lift
Dr. Hedden is experienced in endoscopic subperiosteal face lift at his Alabama practice. Less intrusive than traditional face lift, endoscopic subperiosteal face lift achieves results with minimal side effects.

• Mid-face Lift
A mid-face lift, available at our Alabama practice, can help reverse the effects of sun damage, aging and changes in weight that cause the skin on the face to wrinkle, sag and stretch, showing age much more quickly than some other parts of the body. Mid-face lift is a great way to take years off your face, and results are natural looking — no one even has to know!

• Contour ThreadLift
A Contour ThreadLift with patented Contour Threads is a safe and effective procedure that offers subtle, natural-looking results. This technique allows the physician to produce a relaxed, refreshed appearance while preserving and enhancing the natural contours of your face. Contour ThreadLift does not replace a conventional facelift; rather it offers patients an innovative, minimally invasive approach to achieving facelift-like results.

• Standard Necklift
Often performed in conjunction with face lift or neck liposuction, necklift is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove sagging, dropping skin from the neck. During necklift, excess skin, fat and tissue are trimmed away, eliminating wrinkles and folds of extra skin. Remaining skin is stretched and smoothened, ultimately resulting in a more aesthetic and youthful appearance.

• Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction is an excellent way to get rid of any extra fat in the neck. Such a procedure makes the face look much more streamlined and reduces the effects of aging. During neck liposuction, a thin, hollow tube (called a cannula) is used to gently suction out extra fat and tissue, removing deposits that cause drooping and sagging. Once swelling and bruising subside, you'll notice long-lasting results.

• Necklift Using Suture Suspension
It's one of the most dreaded signs of aging: the so-called "turkey gobbler." But thanks to modern technology, there is no reason to live with this unsightly imperfection. Dr. Hedden offers several solutions, including the fast, safe and effective suture suspension necklift. During this hour-long procedure, tiny incisions are made behind the ears and beneath the chin, and extra tissue is removed. Remaining skin is tightened and smoothened, leaving a youthful, taut neck with no hint of a turkey gobbler.

• Chin Implants
Chin implants are an ideal way to create balance and definition in the face. By strengthening a weak chin, these implants make features look much more harmonized and attractive.

• Cheek Implants
Undefined cheek bones can make a face look out of proportion. Cheek augmentation can balance the facial features, filling hollows left by too-small cheekbones and eliminating sagging. Cheek implants are customized to perfectly suit one's face and, once in place, look incredibly natural.

• Ear Pinning (Otoplasty)
Protruding or exceptionally large ears are enough to make anyone feel insecure or embarrassed about his or her appearance. Ear pinning, or otoplasty, is a permanent solution to this problem. Otoplasty is also used to restore damaged ears. During otoplasty, incisions are made behind the ear and extra cartilage is discarded. The ears are then gently pulled back into correct position, sutured and left to heal.

• Lip Enhancement
Full, sensual lips can make any woman feel more attractive. And even if you weren't born with a plump pout, one can still be yours. Dr. Hedden offers a variety of lip enhancement techniques to enhance the lips while retaining their soft and natural feel.

• Fat Grafting
If you're suffering from smile lines, facial scars (such as those left behind by acne) or other imperfections, fat grafting might be just the answer. Fat grafting, also called fat injection or fat transfer, is performed under local anesthetic and produces natural-looking results. Unlike other chemicals or injectables, fat injections rarely result in allergies or uncomfortable side effects because the contents are taken from donor sites on the patient's own body.
