The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has recently released its annual Plastic Surgery Procedural Statistics Report – a yearly report detailing trends in cosmetic procedures. Similar to results from 2013, breast augmentation was the most popular procedure in 2014, with just over 286,250 surgeries performed.
It should be noted that this and all reports from the ASPS only include data from board-certified plastic surgeons like Dr. Vasdev Rai. It is possible that additional breast enlargement procedures were performed by surgeons who lack the credentials and training to be included in the report.

Alternatives to plastic surgery such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers are becoming increasingly popular in Dallas. These nonsurgical cosmetic treatments are capable of reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles from nearly every area of the face. Some options can even produce a softer and fuller look as well.
While these treatments cannot create the same results as facelift and other surgical procedures, they can temporarily provide a more youthfully appealing appearance. The best way to learn if they can help you reach your goals is through a one-on-one consultation with Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Vasdev Rai.
How Safe are […]
Silicone breast implants tend to look and feel more like natural breast tissue, even when placed above the muscles in the chest. In addition, this type of breast implant is less likely to produce aesthetic imperfections such as wrinkling, rippling, or double bubble, and may even help prevent surgical risks such as capsular contracture. Dallas breast surgeon Dr. Vasdev Rai recommends silicone implants for a majority of our breast augmentation patients, but may suggest saline implants under certain circumstances.

A newly published study, 20 years in the making, has found that advanced liposuction techniques not only allow for optimal removal of fatty tissue, but also encourage skin retraction for more shapely contours. The study included more than 4,000 patients who had undergone liposuction on hips, flanks, and thighs, and found that refined techniques are better able to modify the shape of the body and enhance final results. These techniques were also shown to significantly lower the risk of complications.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon with over three decades of experience, Dr. Vasdev Rai carefully selects the techniques he feels will […]

According to a recent study, patients who choose to have body contouring procedures performed following weight loss through bariatric surgery are more likely to maintain a healthy BMI.
The study, fifteen years in the making, followed patients between the ages of 18 and 50 who had undergone laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). Those who chose to follow initial weight loss with plastic surgery procedures maintained an average BMI of 24.6, which is within the range considered healthy by the CDC. Those who did not undergo post-bariatric body contouring procedures maintained an average BMI of 31, which is at the lower end […]
According to a new report in the medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a majority of men and women find breasts with a ratio of 45:55 to be “perfect.” With this ratio, 45 percent of breast tissue is above the nipple and 55 percent is below. This is typically considered a natural and unenhanced look.
Of the 1,315 respondents asked to rank the attractiveness of breasts for this survey, 87 percent of women and 90 percent of men identified the 45:55 ratio as perfect. 94 percent of the 53 plastic surgeons surveyed held this same opinion.

Have you heard the ads about laser liposuction? Laser assisted liposuction is heavily marketed these days, so you may be hearing about it a lot. Unfortunately, it is not as effective as ultrasonic and tumescent liposuction. There is also a high incidence of skin burns with laser liposuction.
Laser Liposuction vs. Ultrasonic Liposuction
Laser assisted liposuction and ultrasound assisted liposuction both liquefy the fat cells before they are removed from the body. The purpose of liquefying the fat is a more targeted procedure and less trauma to the tissue, creating more controlled and precise results with less bruising, swelling, and downtime.
Laser liposuction […]
Liposuction will not tighten loose skin, and if you have poor elasticity it will make your loose skin even worse. Depending on the body part affected, a procedure such as tummy tuck, thigh lift, or arm lift is the appropriate treatment for loose skin. You said you have fatty deposits as well, those can be treated with liposuction in conjunction with a procedure to remove the excess skin.
When liposuction is used alone, good skin tone and elasticity are a must for good results. When the skin is in good condition, it will tighten up, giving you the desired body contour. […]
