In most cases, gynecomastia which develops in puberty or middle age is a medically harmless condition which is not caused by an underlying disease process. However, a small portion of men with gynecomastia do have an underlying health condition which needs to be addressed. Some medications can cause gynecomastia. Although physically harmless, gynecomastia can have a profound psychological and emotional effect. If you are unhappy with your male breasts Dr. Rai can help.

A traditional facelift is a major surgery with a long recovery time. Dr. Rai uses a newer technique, called endoscopic facelift, which yields exceptional results, and a much shorter and more pleasant recovery. You can return to work about 10 days to two weeks after your procedure, as long as your job does not require strenuous activity. The facelift recovery period can take several weeks. During your consultation, Dr. Rai will explain in more detail what you can expect during facelift recovery.

Do you ever debate whether you should have a facelift or just get fat injections?
Depending on your goals and the condition of your skin, our Dallas facelift surgeon may recommend a facelift, injectable fillers, or a combination of the two. Fat injections are less invasive and require less recovery time. Since the facelift is the most well-known facial rejuvenation procedure, many women assume it is what they need when they begin to see facial sagging, but in many patients fat injections are the more appropriate procedure to restore a youthful appearance.

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 […]
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.

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.

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 […]
