  • The Past, Present, and Future of Breast Implants: Plastic Surgeon Explains
    When it comes to breast implants, plastic surgeon Dr. John Smoot has seen it all. In practice since 1988, he studied with Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Cronin, the inventor of the breast implant.

    The earliest silicone implants had problems with rupture, and were connected to autoimmune diseases. When banned in 1992, surgeons specializing in breast surgery, including Dr. Smoot, pivoted to saline implants.

    After hundreds of clinical trials and research studies, silicone implants returned to the market in 2006. Today’s silicone implants are much different, especially when it comes to safety and removing them without complications.

    Hear Dr. Smoot’s perspective on what’s happening in the field of breast augmentation today, why the increasing popularity in implant removal and his opinions on the effectiveness of using fat to add volume instead of implants.

  • Freeze That Fat with CoolSculpting
    CoolSculpting shines as a permanent solution if you’ve been consistent with diet and exercise and you’re close to your goals, but there’s a little bit of stubborn fat that just won’t go away. LJC’s CoolSculpting specialist Anh Bridgewater, PA-C, is here to share how far in advance you should schedule your treatments to be ready for the summer.

    Anh runs us through who the best candidates are for CoolSculpting, how to accelerate your results, and the average number of sessions needed to reach your goals. Not everyone wants surgery to reach their goals, but if you’re looking for dramatic results, liposuction may be a better route for you.

    Anh explains how to know if you’re a better candidate for CoolSculpting or liposuction. CoolSculpting, a non-surgical fat reduction treatment, is FDA-approved to treat nine areas of the body and reduces 20-25% of fat on average.
