Dark circles under the lower eyelids are often associated with a lack of sleep, but many patients don’t know that shadows can develop regardless of how rested or alert you feel. These dark circles are often accompanied by puffy under-eye bags, which is no coincidence. Eye bags typically become more noticeable as natural collagen production declines, causing the fat pads below the eyes to protrude as you get older. While sleep deprivation can certainly exacerbate dark circles, bulging fat pads are known to create shadows under the eyes no matter how much sleep you get the night before.  Fortunately, lower blepharoplasty can be an ideal treatment to not only improve dark circles, but also smooth puffiness below the eyes. During the procedure, Dr. Jon Paul... Continue Reading

It’s no surprise that the breasts tend to lose support, volume, and shape over time. While the cause of unwanted breast changes ranges from lifestyle factors to genetic predisposition, a flatter or more “tubular” appearance in the bust may result from: Changing estrogen levels and other hormone fluctuations: Estrogen naturally decreases as women get older, leading to changes in the breast tissue. The skin is not as hydrated and elastic as it used to be, which may cause a smaller breast size and a noticeable reduction in volume. These effects are often compounded by reduced collagen and elastin production in the body, particularly for individuals who have gone through menopause. Pregnancy and weight loss: The skin naturally expands and shrinks according to your body shape,... Continue Reading

Despite popular belief, tired eyes can develop regardless of how rested you feel, or whether you got a full night’s sleep. Unfortunately, many of the characteristics that constitute tired eyes — such as drooping skin and under-eye bags — can also make individuals look angry, stressed, or older than their actual age. There are several techniques that can brighten the eyes and make you look more well-rested depending on the types of concerns exhibited: “Hooding” and excess eyelid skin: If support for the upper eyelids has weakened to the point of “hooding,” a condition in which excess skin accumulates on the lash line and potentially droops into your line of vision, upper blepharoplasty is considered the best solution to tighten loose tissue and smooth the...

Ptosis, a condition in which the breast tissue droops or sags, can affect all adult women regardless of whether they have large or small breasts. That said, it can be true that patients with a larger breast size may experience sagging to a greater degree when compared to individuals who have less weight in their chest. This is simply due to the fact that more chest mass can be more susceptible to the forces of gravity to a greater degree than smaller-sized breasts. Although this can be unfortunate for individuals with a bigger breast shape, Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani can correct sagging or drooping breasts with procedures like breast reduction and mastopexy. The most effective choice for your unique concerns depends on whether you are... Continue Reading

For many women who have had children, the abdomen may appear to protrude or bulge to a greater degree than the appearance of their midsection prior to getting pregnant.

Fortunately, a Mommy Makeover is precisely designed to... Continue Reading
