When it comes to medical issues there’s a lot of false information out there. To help you make informed choices about cosmetic procedures we’ve put together this list of the top 5 most common myths about plastic surgery:

1) Breast Implants Increase Your Risk of Developing Breast Cancer

According to the Susan G. Koman Foundation, “neither saline nor silicone breast implants appear to increase breast cancer risk.” In fact, some studies have even shown that women with implants have a slightly lower-than-average risk of developing breast cancer – a statistic which is attributed to the fact that women who choose to have breast implants in Lutz tend to be fitter and more pro-active about their health care than those without implants.

2) Men Don’t Have Plastic Surgery

With the recent advances in plastic surgery and the increased awareness of the extensive benefits associated with cosmetic procedures, more men than ever are now opting to have plastic surgery. A recent survey by the American Academy of Plastic Surgeons revealed that 12 percent of adult men planned on having one or more cosmetic procedures in the future.

3) Plastic Surgery Is Only For The Wealthy

Plastic surgery is often much more affordable than you might expect, and in fact, many reconstructive procedures are either partially or fully covered under some insurance plans. While cosmetic procedures may be popularized by celebrities, our patients include people from all walks of life.

4) Liposuction Doesn’t Last

Liposuction in Lutz permanently removes fat cells, which means they’re gone forever. However, if liposuction patients fail to maintain a stable weight through diet and exercise, the remaining fat cells can swell up and fill in the treated area, giving a false impression that the fat cells have ‘grown back.’

5) Plastic Surgery Leaves Visible Scars

Modern, minimally-invasive techniques mean that big, unsightly plastic surgery scars are now a thing of the past. In many cases, cosmetic procedures can be performed in a way that makes it virtually impossible to detect where incisions were made.

Due to the natural effects of aging, sun exposure and even our own genetics, we are all prone to getting wrinkles and there is nothing wrong with looking to reverse that process. Botox is a safe and effective alternative that should be considered if you are looking to tackle undoing wrinkles. Here are 4 reasons why Botox in Lutz might be right for you:

1. Minimally Invasive – The procedure requires no incisions be made, but instead an ultra-fine needle being inserted directly into the desired location. Anesthetic may be used but is not necessary. The pain you feel is no more than that of any other injection.
2. Quick Procedure – A Botox injection can be taken care of in roughly ten minutes and can provide almost immediate results. Typically, the surgeon may request that you frown or squint to showcase the problem areas to be targeted.
3. No Recovery Time Needed – Since Botox injections can be done without any anesthetic, you can resume your daily activities right after leaving the procedure. Many other cosmetic procedures can take a week to recover and result in facial bruising, but the simplicity of Botox injections allows for a speedy recovery.
4. Real Healing – Despite being described as an injection, the Botox or botulinum toxin isn’t filling the wrinkles in, but instead, it relaxes the muscle beneath to give a natural volume to your skin again. Differing from person to person, more treatments will be needed in the future, but the initial results last between 3 and 6 months providing you with lasting effects.

There are many reasons to want breast implants in Lutz, FL, whether it be to satisfy your desired look, increase uniformity, or just because you simply want them. With many advances in cosmetic surgery there are now several options to choose from. The newest stage in breast implant technology is cohesive gel implants, or as they are more frequently known, “gummy bear implants.”

Here are a few things you should know about the implants when considering what is right for you:

Firm and uniform – With gummy bear implants there is a significantly less chance of the implants becoming misshapen after surgery. The silicone inside is thicker than standard implants so they retain their shape better. They get their name from the thickness of this silicone, which has the consistency of gummy bears.

Safer – The increased firmness of these implants highly reduces your chance of capsular contracture. Regular saline and silicone implants cannot compete because they aren’t as firm.

No Leaks – Older types of breast implants have a tendency for the shell to fold or ripple, which leads to rips in the lining. This is less likely with a gummy bear implant because of the firmness. In the unlikely case of the shell breaking, there is no liquid component to leak out due to the high density of the gel.

Natural Look – Most women agree that cohesive gel implants have a more anatomically correct shape and more natural feel. Because of their firmness, they can be formed into a more realistic teardrop shape that is retained long after surgery.

Breast implants are a big commitment and being informed is crucial. Dr. John Roach can help you with any questions you may have about implants and selecting what implant is right for you. Call the Bayside Center for Plastic Surgery at (813) 528-8744 and schedule your free consultation today.

Guess what? You aren’t helpless! Read on…

For this reason, you may want to consider something more instant than months of starvation and grueling exercise: plastic surgery. You need an answer to the pockets of fat or excess skin that won’t disappear, and the scars that aren’t affected by diet changes.

What’s a Mommy Makeover?

Pregnancy and motherhood are among the most fulfilling times in a woman’s life, but the body takes considerable abuse. Many women find they can no longer attain their before-baby body weight. Many find that pregnancy, weight fluctuation, and aging can all result in sagging skin, as the dermis loses its velocity. Breasts, too, lose their natural lift and begin to sag. Stretch marks become harder and harder to ignore.

Save Time on Procedures and Recovery

While there are several physical issues chiseling away at the self esteem of most women today, these ladies are also very busy working outside the home and/or caring for a family with young children, often with little time to spare. Rather than attempt four or five separate surgical procedures, all with their own recovery and down time, the Mommy Makeover gets you looking and feeling your best in just two steps.

Basics of a Mommy Makeover

The Mommy Makeover is a plastic surgery procedure generally carried out in two sessions that focuses primarily on the breasts and abdomen. During their sessions, patients will typically undergo a Tummy Tuck as well as Liposuction and Breast Enhancement, taking care of several issues with only one short recovery period, reduced cost for your wallet, and less time off from work.

Dr. John B. Roach Jr. is now a Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. After 10 years of practice and thousands of dollars in certification fees Dr Roach has completed his second board certification. He is among very few surgeons that continue to maintain active OCC (Osteopathic Continuous Certification) in two separate specialties.  He initially completed a board certification in general surgery in 2011. He then completed his board certification in plastic and reconstructive surgery in 2014. To become a Double Board Certified Surgeon is quite an accomplishment however to maintain active continuous certification in both is extraordinary.  Dr Roach uses his combined skills and knowledge to perform many different surgeries from very complex reconstructive procedures to minor in office cosmetic improvements.   Dr. Roach emphasizes a “safety first” approach to surgical decision making. For example, when a patient comes into the office requesting a “mommy makeover” that involves breast augmentation in Lutz and tummy tuck in Lutz, Dr Roach will discuss the optimal timing of both surgeries which will most likely be staged rather than at the same time due to the high risk of complications that can be life threatening by combining the surgeries. Rest assured the results are great and patient satisfaction is very high while the complication rate is very low.  Safe surgery is his priority!

Did you know that a double board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon can remove skin cancer and leave you with a near invisible scar? Often people suffering from squamous cell cancer, basal cell cancer, or melanoma did not know they could see a plastic surgeon for skin cancer treatment. 

At Bayside Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr John B Roach Jr. combines the latest techniques in plastic reconstructive and general surgery to create fine line scars that hide in your natural skin lines.  Dr. Roach is board certified in both plastic/reconstructive surgery and general surgery by the American Osteopathic Board of Surgeons.  Dr Roach utilizes plastic surgery instruments in a computerized climate controlled operating room to minimize the scar.  He performs the surgery at the New Port Richey Surgery Center at Trinity.  Dr. Roach believes this facility is the best because it is a state of the art operating room compliant to the new AORN (Association of periOperative Registered Nurses) and AAMI (Association of Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) standards.  In addition, the facility is compliant to all the AAAHC, CMS, and AHCA’s strict standards for quality environment for surgical care. These new standards are the highest possible accreditations awarded to surgery centers providing the best care.

The new mini face lift in Lutz, Florida, combines the removal of skin with the plication of SMAS (the fatty tissue under the skin) in the desired direction to provide a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.  The mini face lift allows the surgeon to tailor the excision of skin and the fatty plication to the individual patients needs.  The scarring is so minimal and faint that nobody ever will see that you had anything done.  Dr. Roach also utilizes your own fat for injection to contour the face for a more youthful appearance. In select cases he also uses free dermal fat grafting for facial volume replacement when more volume is needed.  The Lifestyle lift is only a proprietary marketing name.

When choosing a plastic surgeon for a breast augmentation in Lutz, Florida, it is very important to know the surgical style of the surgeon.  Dr. John Roach uses a unique dissection only in the medial and upper quadrant of the breast pocket cavity that provides a “No gap” result. This dissection is different from other “Natural” appearing breast augmentations that can result in a saggy appearance over time.  The “No gap technique” is a surgical style of dissection developed by Dr Roach and unique to our practice.  If you like the cosmetic appearance of breast augmentation then please take the time to see our results and compare with other techniques.  For more information about the “No gap technique” please contact our office today at 813-528-8744 for a free consultation.
