Another very important option/addition to the body contouring field is skin tightening procedures that avoid any skin removal thus avoid long skin scars. The Triplex laser by Cynosure produces very dramatic skin tightening and allows me to now perform more minimum or no-scar arm lifts and thigh lifts than ever before using this technology. It is important to make a consultation with someone that has a lot of experience with this device in order to get the proper level of treatment. What I mean is that often times if you are having something done simply with sedation, the amount of laser treatment can be sometimes less than adequate to produce the collagen shrinkage that you may need. A Board-Certified- Plastic Surgeon that does thigh lifts and arm lifts , but also can offer you the Cynosure Triplex laser treatment is by far the best person to tell you which will work the best in your situation. However, I have no doubt that this treatment is the answer to getting either small scar-or no-scar arm-lifts and thigh lifts in the right group of patients. Good Luck to you!

I would entirely concur with the other recommendation written below. Many times a minimum age is placed on cosmetic surgery procedures because it requires a certain level of maturity to make decisions that can make a very real change in your life, and for the most part are not reversible., However, age is not an important factor when you are having a significant physical problem as you describe. Make sure that your weight is not a significant contributing factor. What I mean is that if you are unbalanced in the calories you eat compared to the calories that you burn, then you will gain weight, many times in the abdomen and breasts as well as other places. You didn't mention your weight, so if you are heavier than other friends your age, then that is a place you can start to work on TODAY. Schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon in your area and I'm sure that you will get the help you so desperately need. Be sure to check whether you need parental consent for any medical procedure. Best wishes to you.

The cost of a consultation can be complimentary. Sometimes there is a small charge that may be credited towards the payment of your surgery. Fat injection to the breast has been shown as a great way to even-out irregularities in all areas of the body including the breasts. Sagging of the breasts usually is a problem of too much skin, but also stretching of the skin so that the nipple is lower on the chest. Only surgically elevating the nipple and breast gland and removing the extra skin can truly correct breast droop. In some situations, filling out the loose skin with either a breast implant or fat will give the illusion of the breast being "lifted" but is not actually a lift . You also must be certain that you have areas where fat can be taken to place in the breasts. These are all questions a board certified Plastic Surgeon belonging to the ASAPS is the most competent to answer. Search the ASAPS website for members near you. I'm sure you will find someone there happy to help you find out if you are a good candidate for that procedure or something else that may be better suited for your particular situation. Good Luck!

These types of fillers (hyaluronic acid gels) can work very well in the under-eye area, regardless of skin color or ethnic background, but the physician needs to have extensive experience so that the final result appears natural and smooth. There are a range of fillers that cost about this same amount and some that can cost even more which is usually dependent upon how long the product lasts, and of course, how much you will need to correct the problem. Be sure that you are advised by a board-certified plastic surgeon who can suggest the best filler for your particular situation.
