If you are unhappy with the appearance of your breasts, you may wish to consider breast augmentation or another breast surgery to help improve your appearance and increase your self-confidence. Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement, is a procedure that can address breast size, shape, symmetry, and proportions, and is ideal for women who desire a fuller and more voluptuous look. During your initial consultation with board-certified Dallas breast surgeon Dr. Vasdev Rai it can best be determined is breast augmentation can help you reach your goals.
What’s Right for You
There are a number of reasons to consider breast augmentation, […]
A thigh lift is a body contouring procedure that removes excess, sagging skin from the upper legs. If you have small amounts of excess fat in the upper leg, Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Vasdev Rai can remove that during a thigh lift as well. However, if it is only excess fat that is detracting from your appearance, liposuction alone may be sufficient to meet your needs.
Thigh lift surgery is often performed in conjunction with other procedures such as a tummy tuck or buttock lift, and is a perfect complement to other post-weight loss contouring procedures. During your initial consultation with […]
When many of us think of facelift surgery, we assume it corrects all visible signs of aging throughout the entire face. However, while a facelift can address many issues with the mid-face, lower face, and even neck, it does have its limitations.
If you are unhappy with the way aging has impacted the areas of your face, board-certified Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Vasdev Rai can discuss combining your facelift with options such as forehead lift and blepharoplasty. What will work best for you can be determined during your Dallas facelift consultation.

Ideal Breast Augmentation Candidates
Some women have never been satisfied with their breasts, while others may look to augmentation due to changes caused by age, pregnancy and nursing, or weight […]
The truth is, just about any area of our physiques can undergo changes as we age. But some of the major problem areas are:
Your face: Lines around your eyes, mouth, forehead and nose can be some of the very earliest signs of aging.
Your neck and jaw line: Over time, your neck can lose elasticity and begin to droop, causing deep folds and bands across the neck. The angle between your chin and neck becomes less defined, and a turkey neck can form.
Your arms: Skin on your upper arms can sag and create “bat wings.”
Your breasts: Like skin elsewhere, breast skin […]
Sometimes, surgical interventions like a facelift are the most effective way to combat the signs of aging and turn back the clock, so to speak. A recent slideshow in Huffington Post suggests abstaining from certain foods may also improve the appearance of your skin, although diet cannot eliminate any sagging skin on your face.
According to the Huffington Post, the following foods may make you look older than you feel and want to look:
Alcohol
Soda
Sugar
Trans fats
Carbs
Fried food
Although it’s unclear whether this information is based on any scientific data, the slideshow does make a good case. These foods can dehydrate your skin, break […]
A recent study of 225 breast augmentation patients showed 98 percent of them said their results met or exceeded their expectations. Other findings of the study include:
85 percent rated implant size “just right”
13 percent wished they would have gotten a larger size
Less than 2 percent wished they would have gotten a smaller size
1 percent were dissatisfied with their scars
75 percent rated breast firmness “just right”
More than 50 percent rated breast augmentation results at a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10
The average patient was 34, and most of them had saline breast implants with placement behind the muscle.
The study […]
In 2000, 338 arm lift procedures were performed. In 2012, 15,457 arm lifts were performed. That’s an increase of 4,473 percent over 10 years.
What can we attribute to the dramatic rise in arm lift procedures? Experts have a few explanations:
Trend of massive weight loss: Gastric bypass surgery, weight-loss reality TV, and diet and exercise have caused many people to lose massive amounts of weight in recent years, which leaves behind loose, sagging skin. No amount of arm exercises can re-tighten this skin, and an arm lift and other post weight-loss procedures remove it.
Female celebrities with toned arms: First Lady Michelle […]
According to recently released statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, facelift procedures were up 6 percent in 2012 compared to the previous year.
Facial appearance is an important indicator of your age. As soon as our early forties, we begin to develop:
Deep folds extending from the nose downward
Fat deposits under the chin
Sagging skin along the jaw line
Deep folds along the lower face
Folds across the neck
Your facelift can be customized to improve the unique signs of aging with which you are dissatisfied, or Dr. Vasdev Rai will recommend another procedure like a forehead lift if a facelift cannot achieve your […]
Typically, it’s unwise to speculate about how plastic surgery may change your emotional and mental wellbeing. But every once and awhile, a study looks specifically at these non-physical outcomes of plastic surgery.
A recent study published in Clinical Psychological Science says plastic surgery patients may experience:
More joy in life
Higher sense of satisfaction
Greater self-esteem
The study subjects were about 550 people who had plastic surgery for the first time and about 260 people who had wanted plastic surgery for a long time but decided not to go through with it in the end.
The study compared those groups of people to 1,000 people who […]
