Yet time, life changes, and our own bodies can shift the results away from what we once loved. If you’re noticing firmness, sagging, asymmetry, or simply feel your current results no longer match your goals, a breast revision may be right for you. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover: 1. **What Makes Revision Necessary** 2. **Why Changes Happen** 3. **How the Revision Process Works** --- ## 1. What Makes Revision Necessary - **Capsule Contracture** Over-aggressive scar tissue around your implant can tighten, causing hardness, distortion, and discomfort. - **Implant Rupture or Deflation** Saline implants can deflate; silicone implants may develop “silent” leaks that alter shape or volume. - **Sagging (Ptosis) & Asymmetry** Aging, gravity, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can stretch skin and tissue, leading to droop or uneven nipples and implant positions. - **Implant Position Issues** You might notice implants sitting too low (“bottoming out”), shifting toward your underarms, or creating a “double-bubble.” - **Changed Size Preference** Your lifestyle or aesthetic desires may evolve, making your current implant volume feel too large—or too small. - **Unbalanced Spacing** Breasts that sit too close together or too far apart can look unnatural. - **Dissatisfaction with Scars** Hypertrophic, wide, or poorly positioned scars can detract from your overall satisfaction. If any of these resonate, it’s a sign to explore revision options. --- ## 2. Why Changes Happen ### A. Natural Body Evolution - **Aging Skin & Tissue**: Over time, skin thins and loses elasticity. - **Weight Fluctuations**: Gaining or losing weight—even modest amounts—can stretch or shrink breast tissue. - **Hormonal Events**: Pregnancy and breastfeeding repeatedly expand and contract the breast envelope. ### B. Surgical Variables - **Individual Healing**: No two people form scar tissue the same way. - **Tissue Quality**: Thicker or thinner skin, differing elasticity, and unique tissue characteristics affect outcomes. - **Pocket Dynamics**: Minor differences in how the implant pocket is created can shift where and how implants settle. ### C. Emotional & Aesthetic Alignment - **Changing Preferences**: What felt right immediately after surgery may feel less “you” years later. - **Confidence & Comfort**: Physical changes aren’t always just structural—how you *feel* in your body matters. --- ## 3. How the Revision Processes Works ### 1. In-Depth Consultation You bring invaluable insight: what bothers you, how your breasts look and feel, and how they fit your life today. Together, we’ll review your history and concerns. ### 2. Expert Assessment I’ll perform a detailed exam to evaluate: - Implant integrity - Capsule tightness - Pocket position - Skin and tissue quality - Scar characteristics ### 3. Customized Surgical Plan Based on our discussion and exam, your plan may include: - **Capsulotomy or Capsulectomy**: Releasing or removing problematic scar tissue - **Implant Exchange**: Upsizing, downsizing, or changing implant style/material - **Capsulorrhaphy**: Internal reshaping of the breast implant pocket - **Mastopexy (Breast Lift)**: Removing excess skin, reshaping, tightening and lifting the breast tissue - **Scar Revision**: Refining scar appearance and placement ### 4. Setting Realistic Expectations You’ll leave our consultation with: - A clear, step-by-step overview of your surgery - A tailored recovery timeline - Detailed discussion of the possible risks, and the most likely outcomes ### 5. Surgery & Recovery Revision procedures can be more complex than primary surgeries.

Procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, and tummy tuck are commonly discussed because pregnancy often affects those areas the most. However, one of the most important factors in achieving a balanced and sculpted result is still frequently underutilized: **Lipo 360.** Patients researching **Lipo 360 mommy makeover surgery** often want to know whether liposuction of the entire midsection should be included with procedures like a tummy tuck or breast surgery. Because pregnancy changes the body three-dimensionally, restoring the body after pregnancy often requires a three-dimensional approach as well. In many patients, **Lipo 360 is what transforms a good mommy makeover result into a truly sculpted body contouring result.** --- ### Key Takeaway **Lipo 360 is a liposuction technique that contours the entire midsection, including the abdomen, flanks, and lower back. When incorporated into a mommy makeover, it helps narrow the waist, enhance the buttocks by contrast, and create better body proportions.** --- **What Is Lipo 360?** Lipo 360, sometimes called **360 liposuction**, is a body contouring technique that removes fat from the **entire circumference of the torso** rather than focusing on a single area. The goal is to re**shape the midsection as a continuous structure.** Areas typically treated include: • abdomen • flanks (love handles) • lower back • upper back when needed In some cases, nearby areas may also be included to improve the transition and overall contour. These can include: • **subaxillary fat** (fat under the sides of the breasts, sometimes called bra roll fat) • **kimono thighs** (the outer upper thighs where fullness blends with the flank region) Instead of flattening only the stomach, **Lipo 360 reshapes the entire waistline and trunk.** --- ### Why Lipo 360 Is Important in Mommy Makeovers Pregnancy affects the body in several directions. The abdomen stretches forward. The waist widens. Fat often accumulates along the flanks and lower back. The waist-to-hip ratio can change. If surgery focuses only on the **front of the abdomen**, the stomach may look flatter, but the body can still appear **wide from the side or back.** By contouring the trunk circumferentially, Lipo 360 helps restore the natural relationship between the waist, hips, and buttocks. This approach can: • narrow the waist • reduce flank fullness • smooth the lower back • remove back rolls • enhance the appearance of the buttocks • improve overall body proportions **Rather than simply flattening the abdomen, Lipo 360 reshapes the entire midsection regionally.** --- ### How Lipo 360 Enhances a Tummy Tuck A **tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)** is one of the most powerful procedures for restoring the abdomen after pregnancy. A tummy tuck can: • remove excess abdominal skin • tighten abdominal muscles • improve the contour of the lower abdomen However, a tummy tuck primarily addresses the **front of the abdomen.** It does not reshape the **flanks or back.** When Lipo 360 is combined with a tummy tuck, the abdomen is tightened while the surrounding areas are sculpted. This creates: • a narrower waist • smoother transitions around the torso • improved waist-to-hip proportions • a more balanced body contour In many patients, the difference between **tummy tuck alone and tummy tuck combined with Lipo 360** can be significant. --- ### Lipo 360 vs Traditional Liposuction Traditional liposuction often focuses on one isolated area, such as the abdomen or the flanks. **Lipo 360 is different because it contours the entire midsection at the same time.** By treating the abdomen, flanks, and lower back circumferentially, the waistline can be reshaped more evenly and the body proportions become more balanced. Instead of improving one area in isolation, Lipo 360 helps create a **cohesive contour around the entire trunk.** --- ### How Lipo 360 Enhances the Buttocks One of the interesting effects of Lipo 360 is that it can enhance the appearance of the buttocks **without adding volume.** When fat is reduced along the lower back and flanks, the buttocks become more defined by contrast. This can create: • a narrower waist • a more defined waist-to-hip ratio • a smoother transition from the lower back to the buttocks For many patients, this dramatically improves the overall silhouette. --- ### When Lipo 360 Is Performed Without a Tummy Tuck Not every patient requires a tummy tuck. Some women maintain good skin elasticity and do not have significant muscle separation after pregnancy. In these patients, **Lipo 360 alone may be enough to reshape the midsection**, improving waist definition and body proportions. --- ### Frequently Asked Questions About Lipo 360 **Is Lipo 360 necessary for a mommy makeover?** Not always, but it can significantly enhance results by narrowing the waist and improving overall body proportions. **Does Lipo 360 include the stomach?** Yes. The abdomen can be treated with liposuction unless a tummy tuck is used to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles. **Does Lipo 360 include the back?** Yes. One of the key components of Lipo 360 is contouring the flanks and lower back to reshape the waistline. **Does Lipo 360 make the buttocks look bigger?** It can enhance the appearance of the buttocks by improving the contrast between the waist and hips. --- ### The Goal of Mommy Makeover Surgery The purpose of a [mommy makeover](https://www.drbehmand.com/mommy-makeover-nashville-tn/) is not simply to remove loose skin or reduce fat. The goal is to **restore balance and proportion to the body after pregnancy.** Pregnancy affects the body circumferentially, not just from the front. When the entire trunk is contoured using techniques such as Lipo 360, the waist narrows, the hips become more proportional, and the body regains curves that may have been lost. For many patients, this approach creates results that look **balanced, natural, and harmonious from every angle.** Patients researching **Lipo 360 or mommy makeover surgery in Nashville and Franklin, Tennessee,** often ask whether 360 liposuction should be included with their procedure. Because each patient’s anatomy and goals are different, determining the best surgical plan is typically discussed during an in-person consultation. --- ### About Dr. Ramin Behmand, MD FACS [Dr. Ramin A.

Here’s How to Decide](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast-procedures/4204/) **Published:** February 23, 2025 **Author:** admin **Content:** If you are thinking about enhancing your breasts, you might be wondering whether a **[breast lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/lift-nashville-tn/),[ implants](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/), [fat grafting](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/fat-grafting-nashville-tn/), or a combination of these procedures** is the best choice. Many women want breast augmentation to add volume, improve shape, or restore a more youthful look. But if your breasts have sagging, simply adding volume with implants or fat grafting might not be enough to achieve the results you’re looking for. So how do you know which option is right for you? Let’s break it down. --- ## **The Difference Between a Breast Lift, Implants, and Fat Grafting** ### **Breast Implants** Implants are designed to **increase breast size** and enhance shape. They come in different materials (saline or silicone), sizes, and shapes. Implants are a great way to add fullness, especially to the upper part of the breast. However, they **won’t correct sagging**—so if your breasts droop, you may need a lift along with implants. ### **Breast Lift (Mastopexy)** A breast lift doesn’t add volume, but it **removes excess skin and lifts the breasts higher on the chest**, making them look perkier and more youthful. If your breasts have sagged over time due to weight changes, pregnancy, or aging, a lift might be the best option. ### **Fat Grafting (Fat Transfer to Breasts)** Fat grafting is a more natural alternative that uses your **own fat** to increase breast volume. Fat is taken from another part of your body (like your stomach or thighs) and injected into the breasts. This is a great option for subtle enhancement and can also be used to smooth out results after implants or a lift. ✅ **Why Women Choose Fat Grafting:** - 100% natural—no implants involved - Adds volume and improves breast shape - Slims another area of your body at the same time - Can be used with implants to create a softer, more natural look ❌ **Things to Consider About Fat Grafting:** - Only increases breast size by about **½ to 1 cup per session** - Some of the fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time - Not ideal for those wanting a **big size increase** --- ## **How to Decide Which Option is Right for You** ### **1. Where Are Your Nipples?** One of the easiest ways to tell if you need a lift is by looking at your **nipple position in relation to the fold under your breast (inframammary fold).** - If your nipples sit **above** the fold, implants or fat grafting alone may be enough. - If your nipples are **at or below** the fold, a breast lift is likely needed. - If your nipples **point downward**, a breast lift is almost always the best choice. ### **2. Do You Want a Bigger Size Without Implants?** If you prefer a **small, natural enhancement** without implants, **fat grafting** could be the right fit. It can also improve **cleavage and smooth out contours** for a more natural look. ### **3. Do You Have Loose or Stretched Skin?** - If your breasts **look deflated**, with loose skin, a **breast lift** will likely be needed, even if you also choose implants or fat grafting. - If your skin still has good elasticity, **fat grafting alone** may provide a nice, subtle lift. ### **4. Are You Happy With Your Current Size?** - If you like your breast size but just want them to be **perkier**, a **breast lift alone** could be the best choice. - If you want **larger breasts**, implants or fat grafting will be necessary. - If you only want a **subtle increase**, fat grafting might be enough. ### **5. What’s Your Ideal Look?** - If you want **fuller, rounder breasts**, implants or fat grafting are the way to go. - If you want your breasts to be **lifted and youthful-looking** without significantly changing size, a **breast lift alone** will work. - If you want a **combination of a natural lift and added volume**, **fat grafting plus a lift** may be your best option. - If you want **both a size increase and a lift**, **implants with a breast lift** might be ideal. --- ## **Which Option is Best for You?** Here’s how to think about it: - If your breasts **don’t sag** and you just want more volume, **implants or fat grafting** could be all you need. - If your breasts are **noticeably sagging**, a **breast lift (with or without implants or fat grafting)** is likely necessary. - If your breasts **look deflated after pregnancy or weight loss**, a **lift with implants or fat grafting** can help restore shape and fullness. - If you **like your current size but want perkier breasts**, a **breast lift alone** may be your best option. - If you want a **small, natural boost**, fat grafting is a great alternative. - If you have **uneven breasts**, a lift, implants, or fat grafting can help improve symmetry. - If you want **a fuller but natural look**, combining **fat grafting with implants** can give you the best of both worlds. --- ## **Can Fat Grafting Replace Implants?** Fat grafting can **increase breast size naturally**, but the results are subtle—typically about **one cup size or less**. If you want a more **noticeable** size increase, implants are still the best choice. However, fat grafting **can be combined with implants** for a softer, more natural look. It’s especially useful for: - **Smoothing implant edges**, especially for thinner women - **Enhancing cleavage** without going too large - **Correcting small asymmetries** --- ## **Will a Breast Lift Leave Scars?** Some women worry about scarring from a breast lift. While a lift does require incisions, the scars usually fade over time and are placed in areas that can be hidden by bras or swimsuits. If your breasts **need a lift**, skipping it to avoid scars **may not give you the best result**. --- ## **Let’s Talk About Your Options** Deciding between a **breast lift, implants, or fat grafting** depends on your **body, goals, and lifestyle**. The best way to know what’s right for you is to meet with a **board-certified plastic surgeon** who can create a **personalized plan** just for you. I’m **Dr. Behmand**, and I specialize in breast enhancement procedures in **Nashville, Tennessee**.

While they may appear similar, their purposes and outcomes differ significantly. This guide will help you understand the goals, techniques, and ideal candidates for each procedure, so you can make an informed decision. ### 1. Breast Lift (Mastopexy) **Purpose:** The primary goal of a breast lift is to address sagging, also known as breast ptosis, by elevating and reshaping the breasts for a more youthful, perky appearance. This procedure doesn’t significantly change the breast size but can make the breasts appear firmer and more contoured. **Procedure:** During a breast lift, excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more youthful position on the breast mound. If the areola has stretched over time, it can be reduced in size to fit the new breast proportions. The result is a natural, lifted, and more youthful look. **Volume Impact:** Although a breast lift may slightly reduce breast size due to skin removal, the focus is on reshaping rather than reducing volume. Women who are satisfied with their breast size but want a more elevated look often find this procedure ideal. **Ideal Candidates:** A breast lift is suited for women who: – Experience mild to moderate sagging. – Desire a more lifted and youthful breast appearance. – Are generally content with their current breast size but seek an improvement in shape and position. Ideal candidates include those who have experienced changes in breast shape due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, or weight fluctuations. A breast lift can help restore their breasts to a more youthful position without altering their size significantly. ### 2. Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty) **Purpose:** Breast reduction surgery utilizes similar techniques as a breast lift, however, focuses on decreasing the size and volume of the breasts. This addresses physical discomfort and improves body proportions. In other words, a breast reduction is a breast lift in which a significant amount of breast tissue is removed to create significantly smaller, more youthful, lifted breasts. Many women with large, heavy breasts experience chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as skin irritation beneath the breasts. A reduction can alleviate these symptoms, making daily activities more comfortable. **Procedure:** During breast reduction surgery, the surgeon removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to significantly decrease the size and weight of the breasts. The remaining tissue is then reshaped, and the nipple and areola are lifted to achieve a balanced, proportional look. This procedure combines the benefits of a lift with volume reduction, giving patients both relief and an improved aesthetic. **Volume Impact:** Breast reduction results in a substantial decrease in breast size and weight, making it highly effective for women whose breast size causes physical limitations or self-consciousness. The reduction in volume alleviates discomfort and creates a more proportionate silhouette. **Ideal Candidates:** Breast reduction is ideal for individuals who: – Have disproportionately large breasts causing physical discomfort (back, neck, or shoulder pain). – Experience functional limitations, such as difficulty exercising or finding clothing that fits comfortably. – Suffer from skin issues like rashes or irritation beneath the breast fold due to excess weight and moisture. Women who feel restricted by the size of their breasts and want to improve their quality of life, as well as their body proportions, are excellent candidates for breast reduction surgery. ### 3. Breast Lift vs. Breast Reduction: Key Differences **1. Primary Goal:** **– Breast Lift:** Focuses on reshaping and elevating the breasts without major volume reduction. **– Breast Reduction:** Focuses on significantly reducing breast volume to alleviate physical symptoms. **2. Volume Reduction:** **– Breast Lift:** Minimal volume reduction, mainly from excess skin removal. **– Breast Reduction:** Significant volume reduction, often resulting in a lighter, smaller breast size. **3. Ideal Candidates:** **– Breast Lift:** Individuals with sagging breasts who want a perkier, lifted look without major size changes. **– Breast Reduction:** Individuals with large, heavy breasts causing physical discomfort and daily challenges. **4. Procedure Outcome:** **– Breast Lift:** Results in a firmer, youthful breast shape with elevated nipples. **– Breast Reduction:** Results in a smaller, lighter breast size that alleviates physical discomfort and enhances body proportions, while providing a breast lift. ### 4. Which Procedure is Right for You? The choice between a breast lift and breast reduction ultimately depends on your personal goals and physical needs: – **If your main concern is sagging**, and you are otherwise comfortable with your breast size, a breast lift may be the best option. This procedure will give you a more youthful contour and lift without significantly changing the size. **– If you’re struggling with physical discomfort** due to large, heavy breasts, a breast reduction will address both the aesthetic and functional aspects, reducing size while also lifting and reshaping the breasts. ### In Summary Both breast lift and breast reduction surgeries enhance breast shape and appearance but cater to different needs. A breast lift rejuvenates and lifts the breast position without major volume reduction, ideal for those with mild to moderate sagging. Breast reduction, on the other hand, is designed to alleviate physical discomfort by significantly decreasing breast size, suited for individuals with large, heavy breasts causing pain or limitations. A breast reduction also lifts the breasts while reducing the size.

They facilitate proper healing and tissue adherence. This space develops during the removal of excess abdominal tissue. By inserting drains, surgeons facilitate the removal of this fluid buildup, allowing adherence between the layers of tissue. But this process can take up to two weeks or longer, and the drains will have to stay in place during this time. Disadvantages of this procedure include drain discomfort, and visible scars at the insertion sites. Moreover, the lower abdominal scar may migrate upward due to the tight upper abdominal skin. As a result, initially well-placed scars may seem too high months post-surgery. ### Drainless Tummy Tuck On the other hand, a [drainless tummy tuck](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) method closes off the space between the abdominal skin, and the muscle layer by utilizing sutures placed in a quilting pattern. This closure technique effectively prevents fluid accumulation, eliminating the necessity for drains altogether. The sutures used in this process are self dissolving, and will be naturally absorbed by the body after 6–8 weeks. There may be temporary impressions from the quilting sutures during the initial healing phase, which usually resolve within 1 to 2 weeks. Drainless tummy tucks offer several benefits, including the absence of discomfort or scars associated with drains, improved early postoperative mobility, and the ability to shower sooner after surgery. Additionally, scars from drainless procedures tend to be better shaped and lower positioned upon healing. ### Key takeaways: **1. Advantages of a drainless tummy tuck:** – No drains – No drain scars – Better mobility early on after surgery – Ability to shower within a few days of surgery – Generally, a better-shaped, and better-positioned lower abdominal scar when healed. There is no upward scar migration **2. Disadvantages of a drainless tummy tuck:** – The surgery is a little longer – Possible skin dimpling in the first couple of weeks ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1e7693468ff432a8e10fcf8d4914b20607a3bcd2a8148aabea9f33b8ff5deedb?s=300&d=mm&r=g) admin [See Full Bio](https://www.drbehmand.com/author/admin/) **Categories:** Body Procedures, Drainless Tummy Tuck, Mommy-Makeover --- ### [Gynecomastia Surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/male-plastic-surgery/gynecomastia-surgery/) **Published:** October 13, 2024 **Author:** admin **Content:** Gynecomastia surgery, is an increasingly common procedure that addresses the overdevelopment of breast tissue in men. This condition can cause physical discomfort, emotional distress, and self-consciousness. Gynecomastia surgery offers a lasting solution, helping men achieve a more sculpted and masculine chest contour. In this blog post, we will cover what gynecomastia is, what causes it, and what to expect if you’re considering Gynecomastia surgery. ### What is Gynecomastia? [Gynecomastia](https://www.drbehmand.com/male-plastic-surgery/gynecomastia-male-breast-reduction-nasville-tn/) is a condition where men develop excess breast tissue, leading to a fuller chest appearance. This can range from a small amount of extra tissue around the nipple area to a larger, more noticeable amount that gives the chest a rounded or feminine shape. Gynecomastia can occur at any age, often surfacing during puberty, but it can also develop later in life. The condition may affect one or both sides of the chest, and in some cases, the tissue can be tender or painful. ### Causes of Gynecomastia - **Hormonal Imbalances:** Hormones like estrogen and testosterone play a key role in the development of gynecomastia. When estrogen levels are higher, it can cause breast tissue to grow. Hormonal imbalances can occur naturally during puberty or later in life due to aging. - **Medications:** Certain medications, including some antidepressants, antianxiety drugs, and steroids, can contribute to gynecomastia. - **Lifestyle Factors:** Alcohol, recreational drugs, and certain supplements can also increase the risk of developing gynecomastia. Excessive weight gain can lead to pseudo-gynecomastia, where fat deposits make the chest appear fuller, even though there is not an overgrowth of breast tissue. - **Medical Conditions:** Certain health conditions, such as liver disease, kidney disease, and thyroid disorders, can lead to hormonal imbalances, which in turn may cause gynecomastia. ### What is Gynecomastia Surgery? Gynecomastia surgery involves the removal of excess glandular tissue, fat, and sometimes skin to achieve a flatter, more masculine chest contour. There are a couple of different techniques that may be used based on the patient’s needs: - **Liposuction:** Liposuction alone is often sufficient in patients with excess fatty tissue of the breast but minimal fibrous glandular tissue. This involves using a thin tube, or cannula, to break down and remove fat from the chest area. - **Excision:** For those with significant fibrous glandular tissue, excision is necessary. An incision is made to remove excess breast tissue directly. - **Combined Excision & Liposuction:** Most gynecomastia patients benefit from the combination of liposuction of fatty tissue, and excision of glandular tissue to achieve a flatter, and masculine chest shape. - **Skin Excision:** In some cases, excess skin is also removed, in addition to the use of liposuction and glandular tissue excision. This technique is more common for patients with a substantial amount of excess tissue, and skin. ### What to Expect from Gynecomastia Surgery - **Before Surgery:** You’ll have a consultation with [Dr.Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) to discuss your goals and the best approach for your specific case. He will assess your chest and may recommend certain preoperative tests. You’ll also receive instructions to follow before surgery. - **During Surgery:** Gynecomastia surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgery generally lasts between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the complexity. - **Recovery:** Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, though it’s important to avoid strenuous activities for about 6 weeks. You may experience some swelling and bruising, but these should subside within a few weeks. For the first 6 weeks, you will also wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support your new chest contour. ### Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery - **Improved Self-Confidence:** Many men report feeling more confident in fitted shirts, swimwear, and during physical activities. - **Enhanced Physical Comfort:** Reducing excess tissue can alleviate discomfort, especially during physical exercise. - **Long-Lasting Results:** The results of gynecomastia surgery are generally permanent, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. ### Is Gynecomastia Surgery Right for You? If you’re considering gynecomastia surgery, the first step is to set up a consultation to determine the possible cause of your gynecomastia, and discuss the best options for achieving your desired outcome. You should be in good overall health, at a stable weight. Gynecomastia surgery is a safe and effective procedure that helps many men achieve a more comfortable and confident sense of self each year. If you’ve been dealing with concerns about your chest’s appearance, considering male breast reduction could be a positive first step toward feeling more at ease with your body. ### How much is Gynecomastia Surgery? Gynecomastia surgery cost is in the range of $8,000 to $12,000.

While both surgeries aim to improve function and appearance, they address different areas and issues. Here’s a breakdown to help understand the differences and benefits of each. ### What is Labiaplasty? **Labiaplasty** is a surgical procedure that focuses on **reshaping or reducing the size of the labia minora** (the inner vaginal lips). Many women seek labiaplasty for both cosmetic and functional reasons. Enlarged or asymmetrical labia can cause discomfort, pinching, irritation, and self-consciousness, especially during physical activities like exercise, intercourse, or even wearing certain clothing. The goal of labiaplasty is to create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and reduce any discomfort caused by excess labial tissue. ### Common Reasons for Labiaplasty: – Pinching, pain or irritation due to enlarged labia – Discomfort during physical activities or intercourse – Cosmetic concerns related to the appearance of the labia, such as labial protrusion or asymmetry ### Benefits of Labiaplasty: – Improved comfort in daily activities, including exercise and sexual activity – Enhanced self-confidence in personal appearance ### What is Vaginoplasty (Perineoplasty)? **Vaginoplasty**, also referred to as Perineoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at **tightening the vaginal opening** and restoring the alignment of the perineal musculature (the area between the vaginal opening and the anus). This surgery is commonly sought by women who experience vaginal laxity due to childbirth, aging, or other factors. The goal of perineoplasty is to restore strength and tightness to the muscles at the vaginal opening. This procedure restores alignment to the damaged or stretched muscles of the perineum, enhancing the ability to contract and providing a firmer, more toned vaginal opening. ### Common Reasons for Vaginoplasty (Perineoplasty): – Vaginal laxity because of childbirth, aging, or other factors – Decreased sexual sensation due to looseness of the vaginal opening – Previous perineal tears resulting in stretched muscles, with poor alignment ### Benefits of Vaginoplasty: – Improved vaginal opening tightness and function – Repositioning of the perineal muscles, enabling stronger muscle contractions at the vaginal entrance. ### Key Differences Between Labiaplasty and Vaginoplasty (perineoplasty): **1. Area of Focus:** – Labiaplasty addresses the external appearance of the labia minora. – Vaginoplasty targets the tightness of the vaginal opening and the muscle function at the perineum. **2. Purpose:** – Labiaplasty is often chosen for cosmetic reasons or discomfort related to the labia size. – Vaginoplasty is usually performed to restore function by tightening the muscles at the vaginal opening and addressing laxity. **3. Common Candidates:** – Labiaplasty is ideal for women who are concerned with the appearance or discomfort of their labia. – Vaginoplasty is best suited for women who experience vaginal looseness, often after childbirth. **4. Choosing the Right Procedure for You:** The best way to determine whether Labiaplasty, Vaginoplasty, or both are right for you is to set up a consultation with Dr. Behmand to discuss your concerns, and learn about the best options for you. ### Can the Procedures Be Combined? Yes! In some cases, women may choose to combine labiaplasty and perineoplasty to address both aesthetic and functional concerns in a single procedure. This approach can provide comprehensive rejuvenation and requires only one recovery period. ### What is the cost range for Labiaplasty & Vaginoplasty? The cost for Labiaplasty & Vaginoplasty is determined by the amount of time required in the operating room for each specific patient. For some patients, labiaplasty may be performed under local anesthesia. – Labiaplasty Cost range is $4,000-$7,000 – Vaginoplasty cost range is $6,500 to $11,500 ### See [Before and After Photos of Labiaplasty & Vaginoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/body/vaginoplasty-labiaplasty/). ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1e7693468ff432a8e10fcf8d4914b20607a3bcd2a8148aabea9f33b8ff5deedb?s=300&d=mm&r=g) admin [See Full Bio](https://www.drbehmand.com/author/admin/) **Categories:** Body Procedures, Genital Aesthetic & Functional Procedures, Mommy-Makeover --- ### [What is a Mommy Makeover?](https://www.drbehmand.com/body-procedures/what-is-a-mommy-makeover-2/) **Published:** September 7, 2024 **Author:** admin **Content:** ![Close-up of woman's torso showcasing natural breast shape and skin texture.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/6ab-150x150.jpg "Breast augmentation before surgery. | Elite Cosmetic Surgery")After ![Close-up of a woman's breast after reconstructive surgery.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/5ab-150x150.jpg "Breast Reconstruction Surgery. | Elite Cosmetic Surgery")Before A [Mommy Makeover](https://www.drbehmand.com/mommy-makeover-nashville-tn/) offers a comprehensive approach to reversing the physical changes many women experience due to pregnancy and childbirth. It’s a personalized series of cosmetic procedures tailored to restore the body’s pre-pregnancy appearance. # Components of a Mommy Makeover: ### 1. Breast Surgery (Augmentation, Lift, and Reduction): - **Purpose:** To address the various changes in the breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding, such as loss of volume, sagging, and enlargement. - **Procedures:** [Breast augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/) uses implants to restore lost volume, a [breast lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/lift-nashville-tn/) reshapes and elevates sagging breasts, and [breast reduction](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/reduction-nashville-tn/) removes excess breast tissue and skin to alleviate discomfort from overly large breasts, while providing a needed breast lift at the same time. ### 2. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty), Monsplasty, and Lower Body Lift: - **Purpose**: The abdominal area stretches significantly during pregnancy, leading to loose skin, stretch marks, and separated muscles. - **Procedures**: A[ tummy tuck](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) eliminates excess skin and fat while tightening the muscles for a flatter stomach, and realigned core muscles. A lower body lift extends these benefits around the hips to the sides, and back for those with more extensive skin laxity. Monsplasty specifically targets the Mons Pubis area, which can also sag and bulge after childbirth or weight gain. Monsplasty improves the contour and appearance of the Mons. ### 3. Liposuction and Body Contouring: - **Purpose:** To sculpt and reshape areas where stubborn fat deposits persist despite diet and exercise. - **Procedure:** [Liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/) targets areas like the hips, thighs, and abdomen to enhance the overall body contour and achieve a more proportionate silhouette. ### 4. Buttock Augmentation: - **Purpose:** Some women notice a loss of shape and volume in their buttocks post-pregnancy. - **Procedure:** [Buttock augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/buttock-augmentation-nashville-tn/) through fat grafting improves volume and enhances the overall shape of the buttocks. ### 5. Labiaplasty and Perineoplasty (Vaginoplasty): - **Purpose:** Addressing changes in the vaginal area caused by childbirth, such as enlarged and misshapen labia, and vaginal laxity. - **Procedures:**[ Labiaplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/labiaplasty-nashville-tn/) reshapes or reduces the labia minora for improved aesthetics and comfort, while[ Perineoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/vaginal-rejuvenation-nashville-tn/), also known as [Vaginoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/vaginal-rejuvenation-nashville-tn/), repairs and tightens the perineum for enhanced functionality and appearance. ### Making the Right Decision: A [Mommy Makeover](https://www.drbehmand.com/mommy-makeover-nashville-tn/) is a deeply personal journey tailored to your individual needs and goals. The specific procedures are carefully chosen based on the unique changes your body has experienced, ensuring that each step aligns perfectly with your vision. More than just improving your appearance, a Mommy Makeover is about reclaiming your confidence and comfort, helping you feel at home in your skin once again.

You’ll learn when Rhinoplasty or Septorhinoplasty can help you, how nose surgery is performed, and what results you can expect. It is likely that I won’t have answered all of your questions about Rhinoplasty or nose surgery here, since much depends on your individual concerns and your anatomy. However, the basic principles of [Rhinoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/rhinoplasty-nashville-tn/) or Septorhinoplasty are common to most nose surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty, more commonly known as “nose job”, is one of the most common of all plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures. The goal of Rhinoplasty is to create an attractive nose which brings natural balance to your face. This may require work on the tip, the dorsum, the base of the nose and nostrils or any combination of these. For some, breathing through the nose may also be a problem. In such cases, I will discuss with you internal nasal surgery, such as septoplasty, to straighten the nasal septum (the internal wall which separates the airflow of each nostril from the other), or reduction of internal structures called turbinates, which may help relieve some breathing issues. We will also discuss other changes which may be used to improve breathing. **The consultation** I find that most patients who are unhappy with the cosmetic appearance of their nose have spent a significant amount of time figuring out what exactly it is about their nose that they don’t like. And, what they do like. The consultation will give me a chance to hear your concerns and at the same time examine your nose. We will then discuss a surgical plan for improving the shape and function of your nose. Age is a consideration in nose surgery. For younger patients reading this, ideally you will have completed your growth spurt. For girls, this is usually around the age of 16 and for boys, about the age of 18. The reason age is a consideration in Rhinoplasty is to avoid any disturbance of the natural facial growth patterns as a result of surgery performed too early. During your consultation with me, I will discuss with you other factors which may influence the outcome of your surgery. Such as the structure of your nasal bones and cartilages, the shape of your face and the thickness of your skin. We will discuss the techniques which I use, the type of anesthesia, and the potential risks. Our patient coordinator, Anna, will discuss scheduling, our surgical facilities in Walnut Creek and San Francisco Area, and the costs involved with you. Most insurance policies don’t cover cosmetic surgery; however, if part of the procedure is performed to correct breathing problems, then that portion of the procedure may be covered either partially or fully by your insurance. My office will help you determine if your insurer does, in fact, provide this type of coverage for Septoplasty and other internal nasal procedures and will also help you get clearance from your insurance before the surgery. You must share your complete medical history during the consultation. These include your general health, history of previous nasal surgery and any injury to your nose, even if it was many years ago. I would also want to know if you have any allergies or breathing difficulties; if you’re taking any medications, vitamins, or recreational drugs; and if you smoke. Moreover, the consultation is the time that you get to ask your questions. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have regarding your expectations and concerns about the results. You will also have a chance to go over things again during your preoperative visit to my office in the San Francisco Area. For those who come from out of town, my office can help you coordinate your pre and postoperative visits with your surgery so that you can make maximal use of the time you spend in the Walnut Creek-San Francisco Area. **Preparing For Your Surgery** In preparation for your surgery, I will ask you to avoid certain medications, limit drinking of alcoholic beverages, stop smoking two weeks before surgery, and avoid taking certain supplements and vitamins before your surgery. You should arrange for someone to drive you to and from the surgery center and to be available to take care of you for a few days after the operation. Most patients need only some help after a Rhinoplasty. Prepare your house such that you will have a place to sleep with your head elevated for the first week after surgery. You can do this by sleeping with several pillows under your head and back, or by sleeping in a recliner chair. **The Surgery** I will perform your nose surgery in Walnut Creek at the Aspen Surgery Center outpatient facility. This is a private surgery center located on the first floor of the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. You will be asleep for the surgery, usually through general anesthesia. This provides maximal comfort for you during the surgery and maintains the safety of your airway. Minor nose procedures may be performed under sedation. During your nose surgery, the bone, and cartilage are sculpted to the desired shape. The reshaping of your nose may require controlled fracturing and repositioning of your nasal bones. The intricacies of Rhinoplasty surgery, however, center more around the refinement of the nasal tip cartilages, proper reshaping of the middle portion of the nose and delivering a balanced and natural-looking nose for your face. I use both the “open” and “closed” Rhinoplasty techniques. In open Rhinoplasty, a small stair-step incision over the skin between your nostrils, called the columella, allows direct access to the cartilages and bones of the nose. The open technique is extremely precise and allows me to directly visualize the structures which need to be reshaped. In the closed Rhinoplasty, I place the incisions inside your nose. This technique has the advantage of less swelling after the surgery and is ideal for those who do not require significant reshaping of the cartilages of the nose. I will discuss with you the appropriate procedure for your nose during your consultation in my office. When your nose surgery is complete, I will apply a splint to the outside of your nose to help your nose maintain its new shape. Moreover, if any internal nose work was done, I will place internal nasal splints to stabilize the septum and minimize the risk of bleeding. **After Your Surgery** You may go home the same day after the surgery. If you are here from out of town, I would like you to stay the night in the San Francisco Bay Area or at a hotel in the Walnut Creek Area. You will have pain medication prescribed for you to keep you comfortable after your nose surgery. There are two things for you to be vigilant about right after the Rhinoplasty. The first is to maintain your head elevated at all times for the first week after surgery. Use two or three pillows, or a recliner to sleep. This will reduce swelling and minimize the risk of bleeding after surgery. The second is to make sure your splint stays on your nose by keeping it dry. Avoid hot, steamy baths or showers as this will cause the nose splint to loosen. After [Rhinoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/rhinoplasty-nashville-tn/) surgery, particularly during the first forty-eight hours, your face will feel puffy, your nose may ache, and you may have a dull headache. Plan on staying in bed with your head elevated, except for going to the bathroom, for the first couple of days. The swelling and bruising around your eyes will increase at first, reaching a peak after two or three days. You’ll feel a lot better than you look after the first couple of days, and most of the swelling and bruising will disappear within the first ten days to two weeks. A little bleeding is common during the first few days following surgery, and you may continue to feel some stuffiness for several weeks. Avoid blowing your nose for the first two weeks after your nose surgery, while the tissues heal. The nasal splints will be removed around 7–8 days after the surgery. The sutures I use are usually self-dissolving and do not need to be removed. In the days following surgery, when your face is bruised and swollen, it’s easy to forget that you will be looking better. In fact, many patients feel depressed for a while after plastic surgery-it’s quite normal and understandable. This may be exacerbated by disrupted sleeping patterns and use of pain medication in the first few days. This stage will pass. Day by day, your nose will begin to look better, and your spirits will improve. Within ten days to two weeks, you’ll no longer look as if you’ve just had surgery. Most of my Rhinoplasty patients are up and about within two days, and able to return to school or sedentary work a week or so following surgery. However, it will take a few weeks before you are back to your preoperative self. Avoid strenuous activity (jogging, swimming, bending-any activity that increases your blood pressure) until I have given you clearance. For the first six weeks after nose surgery, avoid hitting or rubbing your nose, and avoid wearing glasses which rest on the bridge of your nose for three months. You can wear contact lenses as soon as you feel like it. Once the splint is off, glasses will have to be taped to your forehead or propped on your cheeks to avoid forming a bump on your nose, until your nose is completely healed at three months. Your nose will sunburn easily in the first few months after surgery, so apply sunscreen. You will follow up with me for about a year after surgery. After the initial couple of visits, I would like to see you back at six weeks, three, six and 12 months after your Rhinoplasty operation. In addition to these visits, feel free to contact me at any time if you have some concerns. Most of the swelling in your nose will resolve by six weeks. However, a residual amount will remain, especially in the tip area. The final results of Rhinoplasty may not be apparent for a year or more. Furthermore, keep in mind that after your surgery, you might experience some unexpected reactions from family and friends. They may say they don’t see a major difference in your nose, or they may act resentful, especially if you’ve changed something they view as a family or ethnic trait. If that happens, try to keep in mind why you decided to have this surgery in the first place. If you’ve met your goals, then your surgery was a success. **Risks** Complications in Rhinoplasty are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, there is a low possibility of complications, including infection, nosebleeds, or a reaction to the anesthesia. You can reduce your risks by following the instructions that I provided above for before and after nose surgery. Occasionally, small burst blood vessels may appear as tiny red spots on the nose skin’s surface; these are typically minor but may be permanent. Scarring from Rhinoplasty is often minor. Once the initial healing and redness of the incision resolves, in most people, scars are typically very difficult to see. Infrequently, a small second procedure may be required to correct a minor deformity. I look forward to seeing you in person at my office in Walnut Creek. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1e7693468ff432a8e10fcf8d4914b20607a3bcd2a8148aabea9f33b8ff5deedb?s=300&d=mm&r=g) admin [See Full Bio](https://www.drbehmand.com/author/admin/) **Categories:** Procedures --- ### [What is "Lipo 360"?](https://www.drbehmand.com/liposuction/what-is-lipo-360/) **Published:** March 1, 2024 **Author:** admin **Content:** Short for “360-degree liposuction,” it is a cosmetic surgery procedure aimed at contouring the entire midsection of the body. It typically involves removing excess fat from the abdomen, waist, flanks (love handles), and back to create a more sculpted and defined appearance. The term “360” refers to the comprehensive approach, addressing fat deposits around the entire torso. ### Who is a suitable candidate for Lipo 360? A suitable candidate for Lipo 360 typically includes patients who: 1\. Have stubborn fat deposits around the abdomen, waist, flanks (love handles), and back that are resistant to diet and exercise. 2\. Are in good overall health and do not have medical conditions that could increase the risks associated with surgery. 3\. Are at, or near their ideal body weight but have localized areas of fat that they wish to address. 4\. Have good skin elasticity, as liposuction removes fat but does not significantly tighten loose skin. ### What are some complementary procedures to the Lipo 360 Procedure? There are several complementary procedures that can be performed with Lipo 360 to achieve desired results. 1\. [Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/buttock-augmentation-nashville-tn/): This procedure involves using the patient’s own fat harvested via liposuction to augment and reshape the buttocks, enhancing their size, shape, and contour. 2\. [Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/): While Lipo 360 targets fat removal and contouring, a tummy tuck aims to address excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles. This is a particularly useful procedure for patients with significant skin laxity or muscle separation after pregnancy, and weight loss. 3\. Underarm, and Arm [Liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/): This procedure targets fat deposits in the upper arms, and the area below the arm pit on the chest wall. 4\. Thigh Liposuction: Liposuction of the inner, and outer upper thighs can address excess fat pockets, helping to improve thigh contours, and reduce rubbing or chafing. 5\. Chest Liposuction: Also known as [Gynecomastia Surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/male-plastic-surgery/gynecomastia-male-breast-reduction-nasville-tn/), this procedure targets excess fat, and tissue in the male chest area, helping to achieve a more masculine chest contour. These variations are tailored to meet the specific needs, and goals of each individual patient. ### What is the Cost of Lipo 360? The cost of Lipo 360 can vary widely between individuals, depending on several factors. These include the specific techniques used, the extent of the procedure, the experience of the surgeon, and any additional fees such as facility fees, anesthesia fees, and post-operative garments. On average, the cost of Lipo 360 in the United States can range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on your goals. During your consultation, you’ll receive a personalized quote that considers your specific needs and objectives. ![Close-up of abdomen showing weight loss and fat reduction results.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Lipo-360.png "Body contouring transformation. | Elite Cosmetic Surgery")Lipo 360 for the contouring of the abdomen, flanks, and back. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1e7693468ff432a8e10fcf8d4914b20607a3bcd2a8148aabea9f33b8ff5deedb?s=300&d=mm&r=g) admin [See Full Bio](https://www.drbehmand.com/author/admin/) **Categories:** Liposuction --- ### [Mommy-Makeover in Nashville!](https://www.drbehmand.com/mommy-makeover/mommy-makeover-in-nashville/) **Published:** February 23, 2024 **Author:** admin **Content:** A mommy makeover offers a holistic approach to restoring a woman’s body after pregnancy and childbirth. This comprehensive solution typically involves a combination of surgical procedures tailored to address specific concerns, such as: #### [Breast Augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/) and [Breast Lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/lift-nashville-tn/): Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to changes in breast size, shape, and firmness. Breast augmentation can restore lost volume with implants, while a breast lift can address sagging by reshaping and lifting the breasts for a more youthful appearance. Patients often combine these procedures to achieve the ideal result. #### [Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty):](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) The abdominal area undergoes significant changes during pregnancy, including stretching of the skin and separation of the abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat, and tightens the abdominal muscles. It can also eliminate stretch marks, resulting in a flatter, more toned abdomen. #### [Liposuction and Body Contouring:](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/) Stubborn pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise are common concerns for many mothers. Liposuction can target these areas, such as the hips, thighs, or abdomen, to sculpt and contour the body for a more proportionate silhouette. #### [Buttock Augmentation:](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/buttock-augmentation-nashville-tn/) Some women may desire enhancement of their buttocks to achieve a more rounded and lifted appearance. Buttock augmentation can be performed using implants, or more commonly fat transfer techniques, to enhance volume and improve overall contour. #### [Labiaplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/labiaplasty-nashville-tn/) or [Perineoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/vaginal-rejuvenation-nashville-tn/): Pregnancy and childbirth can also affect the appearance and functionality of the vaginal area. Labiaplasty involves reshaping or reducing the size of the labia minora, while perineoplasty addresses issues with the perineum, such as laxity or scarring, to enhance comfort and confidence.

After that, there is gradual and significant improvement. However, for the first 6 -12 months following surgery, you can expect some degree of swelling. You will notice the gradual improvement during this recovery period as your results continue to become more defined. Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery is different from other abdominal procedures, like a caesarean section, where an incision is made to allow access to the inner part of the abdomen. With an abdominoplasty, the inside part of the abdomen is never accessed. The surgery involves the area just below the skin and fatty tissue. In this area, there are two types of fluid drainage systems. The one most familiar is the blood vessel system. The lymphatic vessels are another drainage system that allows fluid to drain, which may not have been removed by the blood vessels. Both the blood vessels and lymphatic system in the lower part of the abdomen are cut during a tummy tuck. This leaves only the upward direction for fluid to be removed from the surgical area until new vessels form in the lower abdominal area. Within the first two months following surgery, the initial swelling of the abdomen tends to resolve. But, some swelling will persist anywhere from 6 months to a year with most patients. This longer term, minor swelling tends to be affected by gravity. Long hours of standing can make this more pronounced and laying down at night helps to improve it. Exercising during the first few months after surgery also tends to make the swelling worse, but often resolves a bit more quickly. To help with the swelling process after tummy tuck surgery, a compression binder is worn across the abdomen and incision to limit the amount of swelling fluid in this surgical area. In the mid-range of swelling, after about 6 weeks from surgery, most patients are discharged from wearing the supportive binder and exercise can be introduced. This is where patients see the increased swelling that can be more noticeable in the latter part of the day than in the morning. Patients should avoid wearing tight belts, which can compromise the upward flow of fluid in the mid-section. After about a year, or sometimes longer in patients, the fluctuation in swelling is no longer experienced as a result from new lymphatic and blood vessel having formed. *Have you thought about tummy tuck surgery and are ready to schedule a consultation with Dr. Behmand to be evaluated for surgery?

How long is the recovery?](https://www.drbehmand.com/uncategorized/what-is-brazilian-butt-lift-or-bbl-surgery-how-long-is-the-recovery/) **Published:** August 2, 2017 **Author:** admin **Content:** A Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, is a procedure that combines contouring of the lower back by way of liposuction and fat transfer to the buttocks for reshaping. Other areas of the body can be contoured with liposuction at the same time to provide an overall shapelier appearance. The unwanted fat cells from these areas of the body are then grafted in layers across the buttocks to improve the aesthetic appearance and create a fuller shape. When you have BBL surgery with Dr. Behmand, it is performed as an outpatient procedure, which means you are able to return home the same day as your procedure to begin your recovery at home. Recovery begins immediately after surgery by wearing a supportive compression garment to help maintain an ideal shape and avoid excessive swelling. The swelling from the liposuctioned areas generally peak at around one week, but most of this swelling dissipates the following week. Bruising is usually present in the surgical area that will slowly work its way down towards the thighs and ankles. The new fat cells that have been transferred to the buttocks need time to heal and develop new blood supply after being injected. To best protect and allow this revascularization process to happen, any significant pressure should be avoided during the first several weeks following surgery. Short periods of sitting are acceptable and generally not harmful to the development of the fat cells, but no more than 10-30 minutes at any time is the best protocol. Patients may sleep on their stomach or sides and should avoid sleeping on their back for the first 6 weeks following surgery. In most cases, patients are able to return to work 7 to 10 days following surgery and will wear the compression garment under loose fitting clothing. But still, no prolonged sitting sessions. After six weeks of recovery, there is enough development of new blood supply to the transferred fat and healing to allow normal sitting patterns without causing harm to the new shape of the buttocks. This is the point where patients are released of their restrictions, may begin exercising regimes and can discontinue wearing the compression garment in most circumstances. If you are interested in learning more about Brazilian Butt Lift surgery and would like to meet with Dr. Ramin Behmand, please call our office at (925)939-9200 to schedule an appointment.

The actual recovery of a facelift is fairly straightfoward and quick, but there is a roller coaster of emotions that can come with this type of procedure. Some patients feel great getting back to their routine after a couple of weeks, and others sometimes not. Here is what you can expect from a typical facelift recovery: **First Week Post-Op**: An increase of swelling until day 3 after surgery where it will likely peak, and then a steady decrease in swelling until the end of the first week. The small drains used in surgery are removed in the office a few days following surgery. **Second Week Post-Op**: Majority of bruising will dissipate by the end of the second week and sometimes sooner. Concealer or makeup can be used to disguise the small areas of bruising after the tenth day if necessary and men can grow out their facial hair to camouflage their recovery. This point after surgery is where you will see the greatest decrease in swelling. **Third and Fourth Week Post-Op**: Most patients resume their daily work and personal schedules during this time. Although there are still restrictions with minimizing exercise activity, patients feel most like themselves at this point. **Six Weeks Post-Op**: Restrictions are generally lifted at this point and exercise routines may resume. **Three to Six Months Post-Op**: The discoloration and redness of the incisions are greatly reduced or will have disappeared. Some numbness will have dissipated at this point, and in some cases, may take longer than six months to return. As the numbness continues to go away, so does any remaining facial swelling. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1e7693468ff432a8e10fcf8d4914b20607a3bcd2a8148aabea9f33b8ff5deedb?s=300&d=mm&r=g) admin [See Full Bio](https://www.drbehmand.com/author/admin/) **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [What is the difference between vaginoplasty and labiaplasty surgery ?](https://www.drbehmand.com/uncategorized/what-is-the-difference-between-vaginoplasty-and-labiaplasty-surgery/) **Published:** August 29, 2016 **Author:** admin **Content:** Vaginoplasty is a procedure which tightens the inner canal and mucous membranes of the vagina to pre-pregnancy or virginal level. Reconstruction of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls can help also with bladder position and help with post-pregnancy incontinence. Vaginoplasty is often performed at the same time as labiaplasty, resulting in both inner and outer vaginal tightness and is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Patients who have noticeable muscle strength weakness or incontinence as a result of pregnancy, weight loss and sometimes heredity are candidates for vaginoplasty surgery. A lot of time patients ask if vaginoplasty surgery and abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery can be performed at the same time. The answer is yes. The vaginal floor and anterior wall of the vagina near the urethra is tightened to address vaginal looseness, decreased vaginal sensation, vaginismus (spasms of the vaginal muscles that inhibit a woman to engage in sexual intercourse, use tampons or have a PAP smear or other vaginal test performed) or previous effects of episiotomy. A small incision is made at the base of the vagina which when fully healed, is nearly undetectable. While the vaginoplasty procedure addresses the way the vagina feels, a labiaplasty transforms the appearance of the vaginal area. Labiaplasty is a procedure that shapes the folds of skin (labia minora and labia majora) surrounding the vulva to a more symmetrical and tighter position. The size and shape of the labia can change after childbirth, genital piercings or trauma and as the elasticity of skin begins to deteriorate with age, the skin folds begin to hang lower and become elongated. This can cause embarrassment or discomfort during intercourse, while exercising or noticeability when wearing form-fitting clothes or bathing suits. Small incisions are made within the folds of the labia and excess skin is removed before dissolvable sutures are used for closure. For more information regarding cost, recovery and frequently asked questions, please refer to the procedures tab of our webpage. You should address your concerns with your plastic surgeon to find out if you are a candidate for vaginoplasty or labiaplasty surgery.

That said, a Mommy makeover can entail any part of the body affected by pregnancy and age related changes of the body. Procedures most often associated with a Mommy Makeover are breast surgery such as augmentation or lift, a tummy tuck, and liposuction for contouring of the body. Other areas of the body are receiving more attention as well. These include the buttocks, through a brazillian buttlift, a lower bodylift or both. Ironically, a most affected part of the body due to pregnancy has only recently gained more widespread attention through labiaplasty and vaginal rejuvenation. In most women, breasts become larger with both pregnancy and breast feeding. Each feeding of the baby is associated with first engorgement of the breast as milk fills the glands and milk ducts, and then a deflation of the breast as the baby is fed. This cycle of inflation/deflation eventually has an effect on most breasts, causing drooping of various degrees, and eventually loss of volume as the breast glands shrink permanently when breast feeding is terminated. A breastlift elevates the nipple into a more desirable position and tightens the breast skin envelope. If the breast has adequate volume and firmness, then no further work is needed. But, if the breast tissue has become soft and does not hold shape, or a larger breast is desired, then a breast implant is used. A breast implant is not exclusively meant to enlarge the breast. Aside from enlargement, a breast implant provides attractive shape and firmness which otherwise may escape an aging, deflated breast after breast feeding. The obvious area of the body affected by pregnancy is the abdomen and the midsection. In many women, the abdomen may return to the pre-pregnancy form and tightness after the first, or even the second pregnancy. But, in most Moms, pregnancy causes laxity of the skin, perhaps some stretch marks and even separation of the abdominal muscles. This separation does not automatically result in the loss of the “six pack”, but it widens the distance between the two rectus abdominis muscle columns, resulting in a protruding abdomen. Many women describe this as the need to “suck in” their stomach while walking, or in a sitting position, especially when in a bathing suit or when wearing form fitting clothes. An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, removes excess skin through an incision in the lower abdomen (taking out the C-section scar). Existing stretch marks may be removed up to the level of the belly button. The abdominal muscle separation is repaired and the incision is closed in a low position, at the level of the pubic hairline. To be specific, this procedure results in a low positioned hip to hip incision. Other procedures performed to address the mid-section area at the same time are liposuction for improving the contour of the flanks, back and even the inner and outer thighs. These days the buttocks receive much more attention than years past. That is mostly due to the advancements in plastic surgery that allow for transfer of fat from one area of the body to another for improved volume, by way of fat grafting. The weight gain and loss associated with multiple pregnancies, and massive weight-loss operations, can result in sagging and deflation of the buttocks. If this sagging is severe, a lower bodylift may be considered. This procedure is also known as a circumferential tummy tuck for removing excess skin and lifting the buttocks. Following the lower bodylift, additional volume is introduced into the buttocks via fat injection, known as fat grafting, to improve shape and firmness of the buttocks. You may not require a lower body lift and correction of sagging may be achieved by fat injection alone. The part of the body that is very likely to sustain injury and trauma with child birth is the vaginal canal and the labia. The vagina may not return to its original tightness after multiple pregnancies or tears which occur during the last stage of delivery. This can result in sexual dissatisfaction for both the patient and their partner. Of course, the physical vaginal changes are not the only reason that patients may have trouble with sex, but if the problem is identified as being due to a change in the tightness of the vaginal opening, then it can be addressed with vaginoplasty or vaginal rejuvenation. A much more common finding is the enlargement of the labia which may not be aesthetically ideal in appearance and functionally, they can become stretched, chaffed and be painful during vaginal intercourse. Enlarged labia, especially labia minora, are a common finding even in women who have never had a pregnancy. These patients may benefit from labiaplasty or reduction in the size of the labia. Understanding which one, or combination, of procedures is right for you requires an in person consultation. To get the most out of your visit with a plastic surgeon, I recommend knowing in some order of priority the areas that are bothersome to you. This allows for a more focused discussion of what procedure, or procedures, may be most beneficial for you. Many of the above mentioned procedures may be performed during the same operation, shortening the recovery time that would be required when compared to the procedures being performed separately. Of course, the deciding factor from my stand point as the surgeon will be safety. So long as the desired procedures can be performed together safely, then the final decision will rest with you as to which procedures you wish to make up your Mommy Makeover. Factors you will consider will be recovery period, additional help required at home, and cost. Together, you and your plastic surgeon can decide what is right for you, and whether it is best to combine or divided the procedures. **-Ramin A.

Learn more about breast surgery costs, what to know before your surgery, and how our breast surgeon in Nashville TN can help. ## FAQs What is the typical breast lift cost in Nashville TN?This surgery typically costs $14,000 on the low end to $18,000. This includes OR and anesthesia. The surgical fee is about half of that.What is the typical cost of breast lift and augmentation?A breast lift and breast augmentation typically costs anywhere from $18,000-$22,000.What is the typical breast reduction cost in Nashville TN?This surgery typically costs $14,000 to $18,000, just like a breast lift. It’s the same operation, but different amounts of breast tissue are removed. OR and anesthesia are included.What should a patient know before getting a breast surgery in Nashville?Here are some important things to keep in mind when considering breast surgery: - - All breast surgeries are associated with scars that take time to fade, typically one year. - **Breast augmentation** has the smallest, most hidden scar. The implant can be placed through a small incision under the breast or through the lower part of the areola. There are 3 types of breast lifts (mastopexy). - - A Periareolar Lift – The incision is around the areola only. This is a good lift for those needing only a moderate lift, and who plan to have the addition of an implant. - The Lollipop Lift. Also known as the Vertical or Short Scar Lift. The incision goes around the areola, and then straight down to the lower crease of the breast. This technique is good for most patients. - The Anchor Lift. Also known as the Wise Pattern Lift, or Inverted T Lift. This is the most reliable and most stable lift, and it’s often used for breasts that need the most reduction, or the most lift. The incision goes around the areola, then straight down the front of the lower breast (like the Lollipop Lift), and then in the crease under the breast. - - Nipple sensation may be altered with these surgeries. However, it is least likely to change with a breast augmentation. - The ability to breastfeed may be affected by a breast lift, but mostly by a breast reduction. - Breast implants are not forever, and they will need to be replaced at some point, if used. Implant options are between saline (salt water) and silicone implants (silicone gel). Silicone gel is the most popular, and it offers the most natural feeling. They come in different shapes and sizes, and the surgeon will recommend options based on the best fit to a patient’s body type and the desired outcome. - A breast lift is often combined with a breast implant placement. But, it also may be combined with fat grafting to the breast. - Fat grafting to the breast, from the patient’s own fat, can be used to enhance both the shape and size of the breast. It may be used as both breast augmentation, and in a breast lift. The results in breast augmentation are more moderate than what can be achieved with breast implants. However, it is possible to have multiple procedures of fat grafting to gain further fullness of the breasts. Who are good candidates for breast surgery in Nashville TN?We’ve broken it down based on the breast procedure: - **Breast Augmentation:** - Patients who want to increase breast size. - Patients who want to improve breast shape. - Patients who want to restore breast volume that was lost due to weight loss, breastfeeding, and pregnancy. - Patients who want to correct breast asymmetry. - **Breast Reduction:** - Patients who have neck and shoulder pain due to large breast size. - Patients who wish to improve posture by reducing the weight of breasts. - Patients who want to improve the ability to be physically active and partake in sports. - Patients who want to alleviate skin irritation and rashes under breast folds. - Patients who want to improve their ability to fit into clothing proportional to the rest of their body. - Patients who want to correct asymmetry (breast reduction can address very significant asymmetry). - Patients who want to reduce breast sagging due to heavy weight. - Patients who want to improve deep shoulder grooving and pain from bra straps supporting heavy breasts. - **Breast Lift:** - Patients with significant breast drooping due to age, weight loss, pregnancy, but who are happy with the volume of their breasts. - Patients whose nipples point downward and need to be repositioned to a more natural position. - **Breast Lift & Augmentation:** - Patients who have sagging and volume loss like above, but wish to have more fullness. - Patients who have breast tissue that has become too soft to hold shape with a lift alone. - Patients who wish to have improved firmness to their softened breast tissue and need a lift. Will my breast procedure be painful?The breast operations can involve some degree of pain and discomfort during the initial recovery period. Here is what patients can typically expect:In the procedures that do not involve the placement of an implant, the pain is moderate and is managed with both oral pain medication and long-acting local anesthetics that are injected at the time of surgery. When an implant is placed under the muscle, there may also be some degree of muscle pain, and the feeling of chest tightness. This also responds well to the medications used for pain management. How long does a breast procedure take?Times of breast surgery in Nashville TN can vary to be longer or shorter based on patient size and the specifics of the operation. Also, for families who may be waiting, the actual wait time is much longer because there will be significant setup time before the surgery starts, as well as time needed for the initial recovery before they see their family member again. This can easily add 1-2 hours to the times listed below. - **Breast Augmentation:**1.5-2 hours - **Breast Lift:** 2-3 hours - **Breast Lift & Augmentation:** 2-4 hours - **Breast Reduction**: 3-4 hours Will insurance cover my breast procedure?Breast augmentations, breast lifts, and breast lifts/augmentations are not covered by insurance, except in rare instances of a genetic breast deformity, or to create symmetry after breast cancer reconstruction. Breast reduction may be covered by insurance. However, there are caveats. - Insurance companies often require that a predetermined amount of breast tissue be removed from each side, usually between 500-700 grams. This means that the removal of such a significant amount of breast tissue is required for coverage, even if it results in a poor cosmetic outcome. - Your plastic surgeon may not be a participating provider with the patient’s insurance company, or any insurance company for that matter. What should I look for in a breast surgeon in Nashville TN?You should look for the following: - Required qualifications: Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Also, look for them to be members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and/or a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. - Look for a surgeon who performs a significant amount of breast surgery, including breast augmentations, breast lifts, and reductions. - Check out surgeons’ experience, such as the number of years in practice, and the abundance of breast procedures performed. - Results of their surgeries, through before and after photos, are important and should match your desired outcomes. Other factors may be patient word-of-mouth, recommendations, and patient reviews. - Evaluate your own comfort level with the surgeon. Do they listen to your concerns, and explain the options well? Do they take the time to answer your questions? You should feel comfortable and confident working with your surgeon. Dr. Behmand is a top choice for a breast surgeon in Nashville TN.

I am so happy that you are the expert, and the artist that you are.” > > “I am so grateful to you and I thank you everyday…truly. I feel you gave me back 20 years. I was so proud on our wedding day. Initially, I had been terrorized to have photos taken, and didn’t want to see an old lady getting married. I wanted our joy to shine through, not our age. My gratitude forever.” > “Dr. Behmand performed a face lift and complete facial laser resurfacing on me and I couldn’t be happier about the results. Since I have had plastic surgery before with Dr. Behmand there was no question that he would be my choice as surgeon when I decided it was time for face work. He and I discussed the options – he listened very carefully to my expectations and was very honest in his response as to what would work best for my particular situation. My biggest concern was that my “look” not be changed but improved and softened. I wanted to look younger without crossing that line of unreality, and didn’t want it to be obvious to my friends and colleagues that I had a face lift. My goal was to look rested, and refreshed. I got exactly what I wanted – not only did he erase the fine lines and eliminate the areas of sagging skin but with the laser he was able to create the soft, dewy look I asked for. I get compliments on my skin constantly, even from strangers – that tells me all I need to know…..that once again Dr. Behmand performed his special miracles with his expertise and improved my life dramatically.” > “I would like to express how wonderful Dr. Ramin Behmand is as a Plastic Surgeon. I visited his office in Walnut Creek, recently with my partner. He is as knowledgeable as he is warm and informative. I honestly can not say enough positive, truthful, wonderful things about this Doctor! > > I do not work for Dr. Behmand or his staff, I experienced his kind professionalism with my partner, who was his patient. If anyone reading this blog is remotely interested in Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ramin Behmand is the Doctor to have a consultation with, at the very least. You will not be disappointed, he is simply awesome as a Surgeon and person!” > “I feel the same way as the other posters: the staff is incredible, Dr. Behmand is both very kind and very talented, and the experience of care as well as the care itself was life-changing. I am amazed by the results and I feel like a new person (I had a tummy tuck, and lipo). > > I think the best way to know who people are at work is to ask their co-workers. When I was in the hospital, I checked in with all the nurses I had contact with, it was obvious that they all respected his work and respected him. When I spoke with his office manager Kris, I asked her how she felt about her job. Her genuine response was that she absolutely loved it. She said she had been there for four years and she loved seeing all the positive changes in peoples’ lives. She couldn’t imagine working for anyone else. > > Generally, when something seems too good to be true it usually is. In this case, it really was good and true. > > I usually don’t post on these things, but I am so blown away by the quality of this experience, I feel like I need to share it with everyone.” > “I met Dr. Behmand in February of 2003 at John Muir Hospital while he was tending to a friend who had suffered a serious accident. I was extremely impressed with both his skill as a surgeon and his wonderful bedside manner. A year later, Dr. Behmand performed a cosmetic procedure on another friend. I was again impressed with his confidence, sincerity and warmth. Her results were amazing. > > I was in the process of losing a large amount of weight and knew that I was going to need plastic surgery to deal with all the leftover skin that was appearing on my body. I decided then that should I have the nerve to do it, Dr. Behmand would be the one I would see. My initial consultation with Dr. Behmand was literally life altering. I consider myself a shy, somewhat modest person. But as Dr. Behmand looked over my sagging body, he never once made me feel uncomfortable, or ashamed of what I had done to myself. He spent a long time talking with me, and really listened to my desires and concerns before we settled on the specific procedures he would perform. His professional, caring manner convinced me that I was right to do this and place my trust in him. After a nine hour extensive and detailed surgery, Dr. Behmand gave me all he had promised and more. He and his staff were readily available and attentive when I needed them those first few days of recovery. At each follow-up visit, I felt encouraged and supported by both he and his great staff. > > I am now more than a year post-op and thrilled with my results. I thank Dr. Behmand daily for the gift he has given me, and know that choosing him was the best decision I have ever made.” > “When I saw you for my final check-up I forgot to mention the obvious, and that is that I am very happy with the results of my procedure. Everyone is complimenting me!” > “I just wanted to say thank you so much for a wonderful experience. Not only am I thrilled with the results of my procedure, I am also very grateful for the kindness and professionalism displayed by the entire team. > > From the moment I first walked into the office I knew I was in good hands. Thanks for making one of my dreams come true.” > “I love my new additions! I am very appreciative of Dr. Behmand’s work and my results are definitely amazing. One of the moms at my son’s school asked me what my secret was for my breasts and I told her that secret was that I paid for them! She was completely shocked that they were implants and said they looked like they belonged to me. Her comment about how they looked natural was definitely what I wanted when searching for the perfect doctor. I am glad I found him… > > Thanks Dr. Behmand for being so caring and attentive during my surgeries.” > “It has been five years since my accident and every day I thank my lucky stars that it was YOU there to help me. Now when I tell people what happened, they look at my perfect face and just can’t imagine it. -The woman who loves her face and is ever grateful!” --- ### [Facelift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/facelift-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Your face is the first thing that people see when you meet. Your face can make you feel beautiful, confident, successful, and it can leave a lasting impression on others. You rely on its appearance to aid in recognition, communication, and first impressions of your identity and personality. The emergence of facial aging signs, such as jowls, flattened cheeks, and sagging skin, are signs that you may be a suitable candidate for a facelift. [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) performs facelifts to recapture a natural, more youthful appearance from earlier years. Our facelift patients say they see a fresher face post-surgery, and they also regain a great deal of self-confidence. ## Facelift Procedure Also known as a rhytidectomy, the process of the facelift procedure depends largely on your individual features and goals. In general, the incision for a facelift begins within the hairline above each ear and continues around and behind the ear. Dr. Behmand places these incisions in such a way to conceal them by your hairline. Dr. Behmand has a multi-layer approach to facelifting. During the procedure, he will tighten the loosened facial muscles and the deeper underlying tissues. By doing so, you create a youthful architecture beneath the facial skin. You then smooth the skin over these deeper tissues, providing a long-lasting, more youthful appearance. These results are superior to traditional skin tightening methods, and have longer lasting results. Dr. Behmand often combines the facelift operation with other facial procedures to achieve a balanced aesthetic result. The most common of these procedures are a [brow lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/brow-lift-nashville-tn/), facial [fat-grafting](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/fat-grafting-nashville-tn/), [eyelid surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/eyelid-lift-nashville-tn/), chin implant, and [rhinoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/rhinoplasty-nashville-tn/). During your initial consultation, together with Dr. Behmand, you will be able to determine if any other aesthetic procedure would be beneficial for you. ## FAQ’s Am I ready for a facelift?A facelift procedure can be performed at any age when indicated. We see patients of all different ages, life stages, and backgrounds. The best way to know if you are truly ready is to come in for a consultation with Dr. Behmand.Can I combine my facelift with other procedures?Absolutely! Facelifts are frequently combined with [blepharoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/eyelid-lift-nashville-tn/) (eyelid surgery), [brow lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/brow-lift-nashville-tn/) surgery, [facial-fat grafting](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/fat-grafting-nashville-tn/), [rhinoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/rhinoplasty-nashville-tn/), or [chin implant](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/chin-augmentation-nashville-tn/) surgery. In some situations, patients may even choose to have certain [body procedures](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/) done at the same time to optimize their recovery period. You will have the opportunity to discuss your specific concerns with [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) during your initial consultation. He will then discuss with you if you are a suitable candidate for these additional procedures.What is the typical recovery time for a facelift?Many patients look and feel like “themselves” about 2–3 weeks after surgery. If you are comfortable enough, you may be able to return to work after 2 weeks, but you will still have physical restrictions for approximately 4–6 weeks after surgery.Will I have drains?Dr. Behmand uses small drainage tubes after a facelift surgery to remove any excess fluid. These will be in place for a few days. Their use speeds up healing, and recovery. They are typically removed during your first postoperative visit to our office.How long does a facelift last? Will I need to do it again in the future?As with most other surgical procedures, the results of a facelift will last for many years, but will not be permanent. After the reset in time provided by a facelift, natural aging resumes. It is important to take good care of yourself in the years following your facelift to maximize the number of years you will see these positive results. You should use good skincare products and daily sun protection, eat healthy, and take care of yourself physically. In addition to making you feel good, these things will lengthen the life of your facelift.Will my incisions be visible?The incisions are behind the ears and in the hairline. The goal is to make sure these incisions are not visible once they heal. Typically, they will be easily concealed by your hair during the healing process. ## Recovery from Your Facelift Procedure [![facelift-before](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/facelift-before.jpg "Facial Rejuvenation. | Elite Cosmetic Surgery") ![Close-up of a woman receiving a facial cosmetic consultation, emphasizing skincare and aesthetic services.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/facelift-after.jpg "Enhance-Nose. | Elite Cosmetic Surgery") ](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/face/facelift/) Before After [View More](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/face/facelift/) After your procedure, expect to start your recovery at home within a few hours. You may experience some swelling and bruising, which typically subsides in two to three weeks. Following Dr. Behmand’s post-operative instructions is crucial for a speedy healing process. These instructions, given before surgery, include refraining from physical activity for six weeks. Many patients return to work within 2 to 4 weeks, and Dr. Behmand can help plan the appropriate recovery time. For more information on the facelift procedure with Dr. Behmand, [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) to schedule a consultation today. > “I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful job you did on my face last year… You have MAGIC HANDS. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you did for me.” --- ### [Rhinoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/rhinoplasty-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** There are no set standards for the definition of a beautiful nose. Face shape, and contour, facial features, and opinion are all variables that help determine whether a nose is aesthetically pleasing. If you feel that a different nose would improve the appearance of your face, rhinoplasty, also known as a Nose Job, may benefit you. Dr. Behmand performs rhinoplasty to help correct common concerns: big or wide nose rhinoplasty, short or long nose rhinoplasty, and droopy nose rhinoplasty. Reshaping may also be performed for a crooked nose, flaring nostrils, ethnic nose, deviated septum, and bulbous nose rhinoplasty. Dr. Behmand also performs revision nose surgery. His goal with rhinoplasty is to create a flattering nose shape proportionally to the rest of your face. The information below will provide further details about the rhinoplasty procedure, and setting up a consultation at our office. ## Rhinoplasty Consultation If you’re considering rhinoplasty, you’ve likely spent time evaluating your nose. During the consultation, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will assess your concerns and discuss a surgical plan to enhance its shape and function. He’ll also consider factors like nasal structure, facial shape, and skin thickness. Be sure to share your complete medical history, including health, medications, allergies, breathing issues, past nasal surgery, and nose injuries. During your consultation, our Patient Care Coordinator will provide you with information regarding surgery scheduling and costs, with a detailed breakdown of the surgical and anesthesia fees. Insurance policies do not cover cosmetic nose surgery. If you are coming from areas outside of Nashville or Tennessee, our office can help you coordinate your preoperative visit with your surgery to decrease travel needs and make efficient use of the time you spend in the Nashville area. ## Preparing for Your Nose Reshaping Surgery Before your surgery, you’ll need to avoid certain medications, limit alcohol intake, cease smoking two weeks before your rhinoplasty, and refrain from certain supplements and vitamins. You should arrange for someone to drive you to and from the surgery center and to take care of you for a few days after the operation. Most patients require only limited help after a rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty. It is a good idea to prepare your house so that you will have a place to sleep with your head elevated for the first week after surgery. You can do this by sleeping with several pillows under your head and back, or by sleeping in a recliner chair. ## Rhinoplasty FAQ’s Can a rhinoplasty be combined with other procedures?Of course! You can combine rhinoplasty with almost any other procedure. Certain procedures can complement the results of rhinoplasty. For example, a [chin implant](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/chin-augmentation-nashville-tn/) or genioplasty can enhance the results of your procedure by creating balance in the facial profile. Some patients prefer other unrelated procedures done at the same time to optimize their healing and recovery time.I’m having breathing issues, will insurance cover my rhinoplasty?In some situations, insurance might cover a portion of a septoplasty surgery, which is the internal portion of a “septorhinoplasty”. This is the procedure that corrects a deviated septum and alleviates certain breathing issues. Insurance rarely covers rhinoplasty because it’s deemed elective.At what age is a rhinoplasty appropriate?The ideal age for female patients is at least 16 years of age and older, and for male patients, 18 years of age and older. Before those ages, the nose and mid-face are still undergoing progressive growth. Surgery performed much earlier could result in less predictability of the outcome. If you have not yet reached the appropriate age, but have significant concerns that are negatively affecting your daily life, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) can see you, and your guardian for a consultation to determine your candidacy for surgery.I had a rhinoplasty with another doctor and am unhappy with the results; can you do a revision rhinoplasty?Yes, Dr. Behmand does perform revision, secondary and tertiary rhinoplasty procedures. This can sometimes be a more extensive process than your original rhinoplasty, so you should [schedule a consultation](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) with Dr. Behmand to see if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure. #### The Rhinoplasty Surgery We will perform your rhinoplasty surgery at our outpatient surgical facility in the Nashville area. We’ll administer general anesthesia to ensure you remain asleep and comfortable throughout the procedure. This helps to maximize comfort for you during the surgery, and maintains the safety of your airway. We may perform minor nose procedures under sedation. During your rhinoplasty operation, we sculpt the nose bones and cartilages to the desired shape. The reshaping of your nose may require delicate repositioning of your nasal bones. The intricacies of rhinoplasty surgery, however, center more around the refinement of the nasal tip cartilages, proper reshaping of the middle portion of the nose, and delivering a balanced and natural-looking nose for your face. [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) performs both open and closed rhinoplasty. In open rhinoplasty, an incision is made in the columella for precision. Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions inside the nose, often with less swelling. Dr. Behmand will recommend the appropriate procedure during your consultation. After surgery, a splint is applied to maintain the new shape, along with internal splints if needed for internal nose work.

[View Nose Job Before and After photos](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/face/rhinoplasty/) ## After Your Rhinoplasty Surgery In most cases, you can return home the same day after nose surgery. If you’re from [out-of-town or far away](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/traveling-patients/), plan to stay nearby for the first week. We’ll schedule a follow-up visit within 6 to 8 days and prescribe pain medication for your comfort. Keep your head elevated and nose splint dry to reduce swelling and ensure proper healing. Apply ice wrapped in cloth to your nose and forehead for the first 24 to 36 hours. After rhinoplasty, keep head elevated for 48 hours. Swelling peaks in 2–3 days, improves by day 3, disappears in 7–10 days. Avoid blowing nose for 4 weeks. Remove splints in 7–8 days, sutures dissolve. Post-surgery, swelling and bruising may occur but quickly fade, revealing a beautiful nose. Initial discomfort and low mood improve as the nose heals. Within 10–14 days, the surgical appearance diminishes, with residual swelling in the tip area gradually resolving over a year. However, others may not notice any remaining swelling within weeks. > “It has been a year since my surgery and I couldn’t be happier with the results. After my nose was crushed in a car accident, I thought I would never look normal, let alone beautiful, again. But Dr. Behmand’s work changed that! I now look better than I did before the accident! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for my gorgeous nose (and the breasts are fantastic too!).” ## Rhinoplasty Cost How much does a nose job cost? The surgical fee for a primary rhinoplasty is $8,000, while a primary septorhinoplasty is $10,500. OR and anesthesia expenses add $5,000-$6,000. Costs vary depending on individual needs and OR time. Revision rhinoplasties are priced higher based on the required work.

Contouring of the body, with the use of liposuction by board-certified plastic surgeon, [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/), is a surgical body-shaping technique that may allow you to obtain the body profile you have always wanted. ## Good Candidates for Liposuction Liposuction may be an appropriate treatment option for you if you have areas of fat on your body that did not seem to respond to diet and exercise, including: - Thighs - Hips - Abdomen - Upper arms - Neck - Upper and lower Back Also called liposculpture, liposuction can be combined with other procedures, such as a [tummy tuck](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/), for best results. During a tummy tuck, the excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is tightened while the surrounding areas are treated with liposuction to help achieve the desired balanced contour. ## FAQ’s Can liposuction be done in the office?[Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) performs liposuction procedures at our private surgery center under general anesthesia. Smaller areas of liposuction could be considered for regional anesthesia.Does liposuction get rid of cellulite?Liposuction will not get rid of cellulite, but it may help to make it less noticeable in some areas.Can I transfer fat from one area to another with my liposuction procedure?Absolutely! Often patients will have fat transferred to the buttocks or the facial area, depending on where they would like to see more volume. Please inform [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) of the areas you hope to improve with [fat grafting](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/fat-grafting-nashville-tn/), to see if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure.Will I have any bruising or pain with liposuction?Most patients do experience pain and soreness for the first few days following liposuction, which can typically be controlled using prescription medication. Most discomfort subsides in less than 1 week, though individual experience varies. Many patients are likely to have bruising with liposuction. This bruising is concentrated in the area of treatment, but can also travel downward to surrounding areas. The bruising and swelling will commonly peak around days 7-8 of recovery. What restrictions will I have after having liposuction?You will have certain physical restrictions for 4–6 weeks after surgery. This means you cannot exercise, go to the gym, or do any strenuous activity that will excessively increase your heart rate during that time. The objective is to allow the postoperative swelling to resolve at the quickest rate, and achieve the best contour outcome possible. You will also be required to wear a post-surgical compression garment during this recovery period, which can be worn under your everyday clothing. ## The Liposuction Procedure During the procedure, Dr. Behmand will make a small incision near the targeted area and insert a hollow tube called a cannula. Unwanted fat cells are removed through the cannula utilizing an attached suction pump. There are several variations to the basic liposuction technique. The liposuction method that best fits your needs depends on individual factors, which [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will discuss with you during your consultation. The following techniques may be used during your liposuction procedure: - ### **Tumescent liposuction:** Fatty tissue is pre-injected with a saline solution containing small amounts of adrenaline and local anesthetic. This technique is typically used by Dr. Behmand when performing liposuction in larger areas and serves to help minimize blood-loss, increase the quantity of fat removed, and to improve your comfort both during and after the procedure. - ### **Ultrasound-assisted liposuction or UAL:** This is a two-step process that uses sound wave energy to break down and liquefy the fat before it is suctioned. This technique is often most useful in highly fibrous fatty areas such as the upper abdomen, enlarged male breasts, and the lateral thigh and hip areas. - ### **Laser liposuction:** Much like the ultrasound-assisted liposuction, the fat is first broken down by the laser cannula and then suctioned out with traditional liposuction. - ### **Syringe suction:** This method is commonly used to treat delicate areas of the body, such as the face and neck. Dr. Behmand uses a liposuction syringe rather than a suction pump in these cases, so that he can more accurately achieve finely contoured detail. With all liposuction techniques mentioned above, Dr. Behmand feels that the best outcome is achieved when using the most delicate-sized cannulas. Using smaller-sized cannulas typically results in a smoother and more attractive body contour. The recent developments in technique have been instrumental in allowing Dr. Behmand to provide enhanced results and greater comfort during liposuction procedures. Anesthesia, too, can be customized to suit your preference. Depending on the size of the area to be treated, you and Dr. Behmand can decide on the level of anesthesia that will best serve your needs. ## Recovery After Liposuction [![Side view of man's back showing excess fat and skin with noticeable love handles.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/liposuction-before.jpg) ![Accessible alt text describing a woman's back showing body contouring results after treatment.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/liposuction-after.jpg) ](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/body/liposuction/) Before After [View More](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/body/liposuction/) After your liposuction procedure, you will likely be fitted with an elastic compression garment to help the swelling go down. Most patients return to work within one week after liposuction. [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) recommends walking and other types of gentle movement to maximize your blood circulation and healing. More demanding activities should be put off until about one month after surgery, or as determined by Dr. Behmand. > “Thanks for everything since day one. You all are the best and I’m super happy to have gone with Dr Behmand, his work is amazing ( I’m thinking on what to get done next!). Again thank you all for everything!” ## Liposuction Cost? The base cost of liposuction for one area, covering operating room, anesthesia, and surgical fees, is $6,900. Additional areas and time in the operating room would increase the base cost. However, discounts are available for multiple areas treated simultaneously. The surgical areas include the neck, underarms, abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs. ## Contact Us If you would like to learn more about what liposuction or a tummy tuck could do for you, please [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today. Dr. Behmand will meet with you personally, and help you decide on the best way to look and feel your best. --- ### [Breast Reduction](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/reduction-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Women who have breasts which are proportionately too large for their bodies may face medical problems as well as aesthetic concerns. [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) can help to relieve some of these issues by performing breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty. This surgery decreases the size of the breasts and makes them more proportional to the rest of the body. ## Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Breast Reduction? As with any other plastic surgery procedure, such as [breast augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/), breast reduction requires careful consideration of your medical history, and aesthetic goals before surgery. In general, if you experience any of the following symptoms, you may benefit from breast reduction surgery: - Persistent back or neck pain - Frequent headaches - Indentations in your shoulders caused by bra straps - Redness and chafing caused by tight bra straps - Reluctance to participate in athletics due to discomfort or embarrassment - Difficulty finding clothes that fit well - Trouble breathing at night or sleeping on your stomach Dr. Behmand conducted a large-scale study at the University of Michigan to evaluate the outcomes of breast reduction surgery. The findings of the study confirmed the therapeutic role of breast reduction surgery in alleviation of symptoms associated with disproportionately large breasts and in restoration of normal physical and emotional functioning. The Annals of Plastic Surgery published the results of this study in the year 2000. ## FAQ’s What does the incision look like for a breast reduction?The two main types of incisions used can look like either a lollipop or an anchor. The lollipop incision, also known as “vertical breast reduction,” goes around the areola and down the front of the breast. In most patients, this method is the ideal approach. Alternatively, in a breast with greater drooping, Dr. Behmand uses an anchor-like incision. This incision goes around the areola, down the front of the lower part of the breast, and along the crease beneath the breast. Your undergarments, or bathing suit top, easily cover these incisions.Can my breast reduction be combined with other procedures?Dr. Behmand frequently combines breast reduction surgery with other body procedures. Some patients prefer other procedures done at the same time to optimize the healing and recovery time. Many patients will frequently combine their breast reduction with an [abdominoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) or [liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/). Your medical history, and the expected recovery time, will determine your suitability for combining procedures. ## The Breast Reduction Procedure Since the goal of reduction mammaplasty is to remove excess skin and tissue, more incisions are needed than for other breast surgery, such as [augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/). [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will create an incision that goes around the areola, down the front of the lower part of the breast, and in cases of significantly larger breasts, along the crease beneath the breast. After removing the desired amount of tissue, Dr. Behmand will tighten up and remove any excess skin, reposition the nipple to its new location, lift the breasts, and close the incisions. As with any surgery, the scars from breast reduction will never go away completely; however, since they are located on the lower areas of the breasts, you will be able to wear various lingerie, swimsuits, or low-cut gowns typically with no scars showing at all. ## After the Breast Reduction Procedure [![Close-up of natural-looking breast reconstruction results post-surgery.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/breast-reduction-before.jpg) ![Close-up of a woman’s chest showing results of breast augmentation surgery.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/breast-reduction-after.jpg) ](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/breast/reduction/) Before After [View More](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/breast/reduction/) Immediately after surgery, you will be asked to spend at least one to two weeks recovering in the comfort of your home. During this time, it is important that you rest and minimize your arm movements as much as possible. You will be given post-operative instructions before surgery, and it is crucial that you follow these instructions. Most patients can return to normal, non-strenuous daily activities after one to two weeks. For more strenuous activities, such as exercise, it is important to wait at least 6 weeks or until given clearance by Dr. Behmand. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Behmand regarding breast reduction, please [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today. This procedure is an opportunity to relieve long-standing pain and discomfort, as well as pursue new activities and clothing styles. --- ### [Breast Lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/lift-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Breasts may begin to droop and lose their firmness due to factors such as age, pregnancy, or nursing. Breast lift surgery, also called mastopexy, can help give your breasts firmness and a more youthful-looking silhouette. If you have also lost volume in your breasts, you may choose to combine this procedure with breast augmentation. Implants often help many of our patients regain the breasts of their youth. ## Am I a Breast Lift Candidate? Breast lift surgery generally provides the best results in women who have small to moderate sized breasts that show signs of sagging. It is possible to treat larger and/or heavier breasts as well, but the weight of such breasts has a tendency to undo the effects of the breast lift in a shorter amount of time. Pregnancy and breastfeeding typically enlarge the breasts, so it is usually advisable to postpone a breast lift until after completing your childbearing. Also, if you have decided to get breast implants with a lift, [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will discuss with you in more detail the combined procedure. ## FAQ’s Is a breast lift the same as a mastopexy?Yes. A mastopexy is another term for a breast lift.Can I have breast implants with my breast lift?Absolutely! We commonly combine breast implants with a breast lift in our procedures. Many patients express concerns about both breast drooping and volume loss. This condition is typically associated with childbirth, weight loss, or aging. A breast lift combined with [breast augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/) will help to both lift the breast and add the volume and firmness you desire.Should I finish having children before I consider having a breast lift?Having a breast lift will in no way affect your ability to have children. However, if you are considering having more children in the near future, it would be in your best interest to wait for a breast lift. You may require a revision procedure should you choose to have this done before having more children. This is a personal choice for all of our patients. It is important to discuss this with [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) so he can help you come to the best decision.Where are the incisions for a breast lift?There are three types of breast lift. The donut mastopexy involves an incision solely around the areola and is suitable for cases requiring a moderate lift. Dr. Behmand commonly uses this lift in combination with [breast augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/). A vertical lift has an incision that goes around the areola, and down the front of the lower part of the breast. This type of lift is appropriate for most patients. The third type of breast lift uses an anchor-like incision that goes around the areola, down the front of the lower part of the breast and along the crease beneath the breast. Severe drooping of the breast may require this type of breast lift. Your undergarments or bathing suit top usually easily conceal these incisions. ## The Breast Lift Procedure The incision for breast lift surgery is very similar to that used in a breast reduction; however, instead of removing excess tissue, Dr. Behmand will simply tighten up the existing skin and reposition the nipple to a more flattering location. If the areolas have expanded due to pregnancy, you may choose to have their size reduced at this time. To add more fullness to their breasts, many of our breast lift patients request [augmentation with implants](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/) as well. Completing these procedures at the same time helps minimize recovery time and scarring. ## Recovery After the Breast Lift Procedure [![Detailed close-up of a woman’s reconstructed breasts post-surgery.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/breast-lift-before.jpg) ![Close-up of a woman’s bare chest showing results of breast augmentation surgery.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/breast-lift-after.jpg) ](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/breast/lift/) Before After [View More Breast Lift Before and After Pics](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/breast/lift/) After surgery, we will ask you to spend at least one week recovering in the comfort of your home. During this time, it is important that you rest and minimize your arm movements as much as possible. We will provide you with post-operative instructions before surgery, and it is important that you follow them. Most patients can return to normal, non-strenuous daily activities after one week. For more strenuous activities, such as exercise, it is important to wait at least 4 weeks or until given clearance by [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/). If you’ve been considering changing the appearance or size of your breasts, talk to Dr. Behmand to find out if you would be an appropriate candidate for this procedure.

I’m not sure you really know how much you change people’s lives. My spirit had been held down for so long, and you’ve enabled me to really fly. You’re a good man.” ## Breast Lift Cost A breast lift costs $13,000, covering operating room and anesthesia fees. If combined with implant augmentation, the total is $16,000, also inclusive of OR and anesthesia fees. The implants themselves are extra, with the price varying based on the chosen type, averaging around $1,000.

For most of our patients, the ultimate goal of breast augmentation is to increase the size of the breasts while maintaining a desirable form, firmness, and natural appearance. ## Good Candidates for Breast Implants If you are considering breast implants, you may have an entirely unique reason than someone else for desiring this surgery. Many women who come into our office seeking breast implants are eager to know if they are good candidates for breast augmentation surgery. [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) has provided the following preliminary checklist of who may be a suitable candidate for breast augmentation surgery. A final determination of whether you are a suitable candidate will depend on an in-person evaluation with Dr. Behmand, a review of your medical history, and discussion of your specific aesthetic desires for the procedure. You may be a suitable candidate for breast augmentation if you: - Feel that your breasts are too small for your body proportions. - Would like to balance out breasts that are different sizes. - Lost breast volume as a result of aging, weight loss, or pregnancy, and breastfeeding. - Have a hard time finding flattering clothing because your breasts are a disproportionate size to the rest of your body. - Had a breast augmentation and would now like to have a smaller or larger size placed. ## FAQ’s Please find answers to frequently asked questions about breast augmentation below. If you would like more information, or if you would like to schedule a consultation with our plastic surgeon, Dr. Ramin Behmand, please [contact us](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today. Are breast implants safe?In the past, silicone-filled breast implants were often in the news due to concerns of leaks of the liquid silicone once placed in the body. Today, the formulation of the silicone within breast implants has changed to a cohesive gel formulation that holds together uniformly, while still creating a breast that looks and feels natural. The FDA has approved, and regulates, these implants. An alternative type of implant is saline breast implants. These implants contain saline solution (salt water). Salt water already exists in the body, and poses no known health concerns if an implant leak should occur.What is the difference between saline and silicone implants?Silicone breast implants are FDA-approved and contain a sterile cohesive gel formulation that holds together uniformly, typically creating results that look and feel more natural to touch. Saline breast implants are also FDA-approved and are filled with a sterile salt-water solution, a naturally occurring substance in your body. Saline implants are firmer than silicone implants. However, some patients prefer saline implants because they are filled with a naturally existing body fluid. Both silicone & saline breast implants have a solid silicone shell.What are the risks of a breast augmentation procedure?Certain risks exist with any surgical procedure. During your initial consultation, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will review your medical history with you and will discuss the general risks of breast implants, and those involved that are specific to your health history.How old do I need to be to have breast augmentation?Dr. Behmand performs cosmetic saline implant breast augmentation starting at 18 years of age. FDA guidelines on silicone implants stipulate that patients undergoing placement of silicone breast implants for cosmetic reasons be at least 22 years of age.Where are the breast augmentation scars?Breast augmentation scars can vary depending on the surgical technique used and the placement of the implants. Common incision locations include: 2. Inframammary: Under the breast, where the breast meets the chest wall. 3. Periareolar: Around the lower half of the areola (the pigmented area around the nipple). 4. Transaxillary: In the armpit, where the arm meets the chest. Can I still have breast augmentation if I don’t have children but want to have children in the future?You can absolutely have a breast augmentation if you still intend to have children in the future. Breast implants do not prevent you from having children. There is also no known evidence that they can be harmful to a pregnancy. It is important to be aware that, natural breasts will typically begin to drop with age due to softening tissues, gravity, weight fluctuations, and breastfeeding. Similarly, your breast implants could potentially begin to drop over time due to the same reasons. Eventually, you will likely need to re-do your augmentation surgery.Is fat transfer breast augmentation real?Yes, fat transfer breast augmentation is a real procedure. It involves transferring fat from one area of the body, typically harvested via liposuction, to the breasts to enhance their size and shape. This procedure is often chosen by individuals seeking a modest increase in breast size and prefer a more natural alternative to traditional breast implants.Breast augmentation vs breast implants; what is the difference?Breast augmentation is a broader term that encompasses various procedures aimed at enhancing the size and shape of the breasts. This can include procedures such as breast implants or fat transfer. Breast implants specifically refer to the surgical placement of implants to increase breast size or improve breast shape. These implants are typically filled with silicone gel or saline and are inserted either under the breast tissue or under the chest muscle. Is there anything I should avoid leading up to surgery?We will provide you with an extensive list of medications to avoid, starting at 10 days before surgery. The most common things that most patients should plan to avoid are NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications) such as Aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Aleve and similar medications. Furthermore, all vitamins, diet medications, alcoholic drinks (including wine and beer), and smoking or using tobacco products.Is the breast augmentation procedure painful?You should expect to experience some discomfort, though the degree of which is highly individual. Typically, you will take pain medication for 1–3 days after surgery. Some patients stop taking pain pills a little sooner and others a few days later as needed to be comfortable.What is the breast augmentation recovery like?In most cases, you will only need to take 1 week off daily routines and work. However, you will not be exercising or doing strenuous physical activity for 4 weeks following surgery. This means you will not be able to work out, go to the gym, or do any heavy lifting during that time. ## The Breast Augmentation Procedure Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia. Your procedure may be at our private surgery center in Franklin, or the Williamson Medical Center, also in Franklin. Depending on the type and size of breast implants you have chosen, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) may choose to make the incision in one of three locations: - Within the crease underneath the breast - Around the edge of the areola - Just inside the armpit You will have the opportunity to discuss the approach with Dr. Behmand during your consultation. After making the incision, Dr. Behmand will insert the breast implants either above or beneath the pectoral muscle. Again, you will be able to make this decision with Dr. Behmand based on your body type and activity level. ## After the Breast Augmentation Procedure [![breast-aug-before](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/breast-aug-before.jpg)![High-quality breast augmentation surgery by Dr. Behmand for natural-looking results.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/breast-aug-after.jpg) ](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/breast/augmentation/) Before After [View More Breast Augmentation Before and After Pics](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/breast/augmentation/) You will be fitted with a surgical support bra after breast augmentation surgery. The discomfort you feel for the first few days after surgery is controlled with prescription medication. Immediately after surgery, you will be asked to recover for at least one week in the comfort of your home. During this time, you must rest and minimize your arm movements as much as possible. We will provide you with post-operative instructions, which you should follow. Most patients can return to normal, non-strenuous daily activities after one week. For more strenuous activities, such as exercise, it is important to wait at least 4 weeks or until given clearance by [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/). During these first few weeks, moderate swelling is common. As your healing progresses and your swelling goes down, your new silhouette will emerge, and you will be ready to enjoy your breast implants! > “Thank you for the excellent service you provided me. I am very happy with the surgery. Your staff was friendly, and I really appreciated them.” ## Breast Augmentation Cost Breast augmentation costs between $7,500 and $9,500, varying based on the type of breast implant chosen. If you would like to learn more about breast augmentation with implants, please [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today to schedule a consultation. --- ### [Gynecomastia: Male Breast Reduction](https://www.drbehmand.com/male-plastic-surgery/gynecomastia-male-breast-reduction-nasville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Gynecomastia is a condition that causes excess fat growth and enlarged breast size in men. This condition can affect men of all ages, sizes, and weight. This can commonly impact both breasts (bilateral); however, some men do experience this on one side only (unilateral). Gynecomastia impacts many men, and while the cause is occasionally unknown, some conditions can exacerbate this issue. These causes include: - Obesity - Steroid or other drug use - Hormonal imbalances - Heredity [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) offers male breast reduction as a solution for patients who have gynecomastia. Surgeons design this procedure to remove glandular tissue and excess fat from the breast area. The result is a firmer, flatter, and more traditionally masculine-looking chest. ## Candidates for Male Breast Reduction The best candidates for male breast reduction include: - - Healthy men - Men that are of a normal weight - This procedure is necessary for men whose breast size cannot be reduced by means besides surgery - Men that do not use drugs or steroids - Men who have struggled with large breasts for an extended period of time - Young men or adults that suffer from bullying or taunting due to the size of their breasts Because of the many causes of gynecomastia, Dr. Behmand will discuss lifestyle changes that may naturally reduce the amount of existing breast tissue during the initial consultation. Obese patients should first attempt to lose weight through exercise and diet. Certain drugs, such as anabolic steroids, can also cause gynecomastia. Before attempting male breast reduction, discontinue the use of these substances. ## FAQ’s What is gynecomastia?Gynecomastia is a male breast reduction surgery. Surgeons perform this procedure for men who have developed excess breast tissue on one or both breasts, commonly due to fluctuations in hormones or weight gain. Patients with gynecomastia cannot lose the excess breast tissue with weight-loss.Who is a suitable candidate for gynecomastia?Any male patient who has excessive breast growth on one or both breasts, and who is also in generally good health.Can gynecomastia be covered by my insurance?In the majority of patients, this procedure is considered elective, and insurance will not cover this procedure.What will my recovery be like?Most patients prefer to take 1 to 2 weeks off work for their recovery. You will also have physical restrictions for at least 4 to 6 weeks following surgery. During this time, you cannot exercise, go to the gym, or engage in any strenuous activity. You will need to minimize your arm movements as well, to help optimize recovery (no lifting, pulling, or stretching). ## The Male Breast Reduction Procedure Depending on the type and amount of breast tissue present, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) may use one of two male breast reduction techniques. If the gynecomastia is caused mostly by excess fat, Dr. Behmand will be able to treat the condition using only [liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/). Through a tiny incision, he will suction out the fat with a small tube called a cannula. This will leave a small incision that will go unnoticed to the untrained eye. Dr. Behmand will generally use an incision around the lower half of the areola (nipple) to surgically remove excess breast tissue caused by both glandular tissue and fatty deposits. He will then use liposuction to remove and contour the excess fatty tissue. Again, the incisions will be small and, while slightly more noticeable at first, will typically start to lighten and fade dramatically with proper postoperative care of the incisions. In more advanced cases of gynecomastia, it may be necessary to remove excess skin along with the excess fat and breast tissues. This type of operation typically requires additional incisions, often in the crease under the breast. ## After Your Male Breast Reduction Surgery [![gynecomastia-before](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/gynecomastia-before.jpg "Breast Augmentation. | Elite Cosmetic Surgery") ![gynecomastia-after](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/gynecomastia-after.jpg "Chest Enhancement Surgery. | Elite Cosmetic Surgery")](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/men/gynecomastia/) Before After [View More](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) Shortly after the male breast reduction procedure, you will be released home to begin recovery in the comfort of your surroundings. After surgery, you might experience moderate bruising and swelling in the chest area. You will be provided with a post-surgical compression garment, which looks similar to a man’s undershirt and typically is easily concealed under your normal clothing. This garment will help to reduce swelling and improve final chest contour while making recovery more comfortable. Some mild discomfort for the first few days after surgery is normal, so we do ask that you remain off work or school for approximately one week after the procedure for optimal comfort. Most bruising and swelling will subside after two weeks or so, with the majority of the swelling gone at six weeks after the operation. During your consultation with Dr. Behmand, he’ll be able to give you specific post-operative instructions that will help make your gynecomastia treatment a success. If you suffer from gynecomastia, we encourage you to [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today for a consultation with Dr. Behmand. --- ### [Mommy Makeover](https://www.drbehmand.com/mommy-makeover-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** For most women, childbirth and becoming a mother are two of the most beautiful and transforming experiences in life. However, childbirth can affect the body in many ways. Some patients are lucky enough that with proper diet and exercise, they can return to their pre-baby body. For others, even with the strictest of diets and exercise, the pre-baby body is still unattainable. This could be due to genetics, hormones, breastfeeding, or simply an excess of skin from body growth during pregnancy, which typically no amount of diet or exercise can reduce. If you have noticed excess skin and an inability to bounce back to your pre-pregnancy state, we encourage you to read further and see if a Mommy Makeover might be a suitable option for you. ## FAQ’s What is a Mommy Makeover?A Mommy Makeover combines multiple procedures designed to help restore the body after childbirth and pregnancy. This can include any combination of abdominal procedures ([abdominoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/), lower body lift), breast procedures ([breast augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/), [breast lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/lift-nashville-tn/), or [breast reduction](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/reduction-nashville-tn/)), [liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/), or [fat grafting](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/fat-grafting-nashville-tn/). We will tailor a Mommy Makeover to your unique anatomic needs and expressed goals.How do I determine what procedures are appropriate for my Mommy Makeover?The first step is to schedule your initial consultation with Dr. Behmand. Upon meeting with you, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will perform an exam and discuss your concerns. Then he will recommend a combination of procedures that offer the best opportunity to achieve your desired results.How much will my Mommy Makeover cost?Because a Mommy makeover can involve several different procedures and is different for each patient, we will not be able to determine this until after your consultation. After meeting with Dr. Behmand, you will meet with his coordinator to receive a detailed quote including the surgical fees, anesthesia fees, and operating room fees.Do I need to have any tests or lab work done before having my Mommy Makeover?Yes. You will need to have lab work done within 30 days of your procedure. Dr. Behmand’s surgery coordinator will provide you with a lab requisition form during a pre-operative appointment. During your initial consultation, we will determine if you need an EKG. If necessary, Dr. Behmand’s coordinator will provide you with the requisition form at the pre-operative appointment.Will my procedure be painful?Experiencing discomfort in the first week after surgery is normal. We’ll prescribe pain medication to make it more comfortable and manage your pain. We may use long-acting anesthetics during your procedure to enhance comfort in the initial 3–4 days post-surgery. Dr. Behmand will discuss this during your consultation to determine your suitability for a long-acting anesthetic.How long after childbirth should I wait to have my Mommy Makeover?You should wait at least 3 months after you finish breastfeeding and be close to your goal weight.Should I complete having children before undergoing my Mommy Makeover?Ideally, you’d prefer to finish having children. However, some patients may seek quicker results, especially if they plan to delay having children for several years. They might consider a procedure to enhance their body during the interval between children. This won’t complicate future pregnancies, but it may require a revision after having more children.If I get pregnant again following my Mommy Makeover, can I still breastfeed?Most women who were able to breastfeed before having surgery can still do so after surgery. Some types of [breast lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/lift-nashville-tn/) or [reduction](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/reduction-nashville-tn/) procedures may decrease the ability to breastfeed. If future breastfeeding concerns you, Dr. Behmand will recommend options to optimize breastfeeding after Mommy Makeover surgery while still achieving your desired aesthetic results.Will insurance cover my procedure?Most procedures involved in a Mommy Makeover are elective and considered cosmetic; therefore, they are not covered by insurance. To learn what combination of surgical procedures can best achieve your specific Mommy Makeover goals, please [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today to schedule your consultation with [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/). --- ### [Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** For most people, even those who exercise regularly and limit the intake of fats and sugars, the abdomen is a difficult area to keep toned and flat. After pregnancies, and the weight fluctuations linked to each baby, this challenge can intensify. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, addresses this by tightening abdominal muscles, realigning them to the center of the stomach, and eliminating excess skin and fatty tissue. ## Good Candidates for a Tummy Tuck A tummy tuck may be right for you if you have: - Weak stomach muscles with central separation due to pregnancy - Sagging or excess skin in the abdominal area - Fat in the lower abdomen that is unresponsive to exercise - Significant weight loss or previous bariatric surgery with subsequent significant weight loss Women typically undergo the tummy tuck operation after completing pregnancies and stabilizing their body weight. Having a tummy tuck will not prevent future pregnancies. However, having a pregnancy after a tummy tuck may require a surgical revision of the previous tightening. During your consultation with [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/), he will assess your overall health, skin tone, fatty tissue distribution in the stomach area, and if applicable, check the scars from previous abdominal surgeries. ## FAQ’s ### Does insurance cover an abdominoplasty for any reason? Abdominoplasty is an elective procedure. Insurance does not cover abdominoplasty.### Can an abdominoplasty be combined with other procedures? Yes. The procedures most commonly combined with an abdominoplasty are [liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/), and [breast surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/). When you come in for your initial consultation, please inform Dr. Behmand of any other considerations or surgical procedures you would like to discuss.### What is the difference between a mini abdominoplasty and a standard abdominoplasty? Dr. Behmand performs a standard abdominoplasty to surgically remove excess skin, and fatty tissue from the mid, and lower abdomen. During the procedure, he tightens the stomach muscles, and repositions them centrally. A standard abdominoplasty is the stomach tightening procedure of choice for the majority of patients. The operation corrects both the separation of abdominal muscles, and removes excess from above, and below, the belly button. The [mini abdominoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/mini-tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from the lower abdomen only. It does not address any skin laxity above the belly button, nor does it correct separation of the stomach muscles. Mini abdominoplasty has an easier recovery, and no scar around the navel. A mini abdominoplasty might be a suitable option if you only have a moderate amount of loose skin, and fatty tissue below the navel. ### Can this be done under local anesthesia? No. Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, in a surgical center.### Do you use drains for an abdominoplasty? No. [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) has a technique that typically allows you to have a more comfortable “drain-less” recovery. Dr. Behmand will discuss this with you in more detail during your consultation.### Can I have an abdominoplasty if I plan to have children in the future? You can undergo an abdominoplasty even if you plan to have children in the future. This won’t impact your ability to get pregnant. However, a revision surgery may be necessary after completing your family.### Where is the tummy tuck scar? The tummy tuck scar follows the pattern of a bikini bottom, extending from hip bone to hip bone. The incision is strategically placed as low as possible to optimize aesthetics. Additionally, Dr. Behmand employs sutures to permanently secure the scar in place, minimizing the risk of upward migration during healing. This approach ensures optimal aesthetics and allows for versatility in the types of underwear and bathing suits that can be worn post-surgery.### How long does the swelling after a tummy tuck last? Being swollen after a tummy tuck is a common occurrence. Initially, in the first 4-6 weeks post-surgery, patients typically experience the highest level of swelling following a tummy tuck. Subsequently, there’s a gradual and substantial reduction in swelling. However, over the first 6-12 months post-surgery, some degree of swelling may persist. During this recovery period, you’ll observe ongoing improvement as your results become increasingly defined. ## The Tummy Tuck Procedure The goal of the abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) operation is to bring a toned and tightened appearance to the abdominal area. During the procedure, Dr. Behmand corrects abdominal muscle separation by repositioning the muscles centrally, known as rectus diastasis correction. This improves muscle function and eliminates the mid-stomach looseness after pregnancy. Sutures secure muscles and connective tissue, allowing permanent healing in a tightened position. The internal sutures are usually self-dissolving. [Liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/) may further define the waistline, blending the abdomen with the sides and hips for an attractive midsection. [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) uses an innovative technique of progressive tension sutures to perform the abdominoplasty without drains. A drain-less tummy tuck has several advantages. These include: 1) the ability to shower within a few days after surgery, 2) increased post-surgery comfort, 3) elimination of the scars associated with drains, 4) and stabilization of the tummy tuck incision in the desired low location. The drainless abdominoplasty is the height of innovation in plastic surgery for improved postoperative comfort and superior aesthetic results. ## Recovery After a Tummy Tuck [![tummy-tuck-before](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/tummy-tuck-before.jpg) ![tummy-tuck-after](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/tummy-tuck-after.jpg)](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/body/abdominoplasty/) Before After [View More Tummy Tuck Before and After Photos](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/body/abdominoplasty/) To enhance circulation and minimize post-surgical risks, get out of bed and walk around in the days following surgery. Pain medication will be prescribed to alleviate discomfort, and some patients choose extended release local anesthetic for added pain control. It’s advised to avoid strenuous exercise until at least 6 weeks after surgery, as tissues and abdominal muscles need this time to reach necessary strength. > “My very own miracle working surgeon. I thank god every day for your talent and skill…giving me the body I have always dreamed of. I walk in my life with confidence and strength. What I carry inside is now reflecting on the outside. Thank you.” ## Tummy Tuck Cost The price of a tummy tuck typically falls between $12,000 and $16,000, though it can vary depending on individual factors such as the patient’s size, existing physical conditions, and the duration of the operation. Additional procedures performed simultaneously would also increase the total cost. --- ### [Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/eyelid-lift-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** As the natural focal point of the face, the eyes are one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Symptoms typically include excess upper eyelid skin, baggy lower eyelids, and excess fat deposits around the eyes. These aging features can make a person appear tired, sad, or older than they really are. Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, addresses these issues by removing excess skin and fat from around the eyes to produce a more youthful, rested appearance. Dr. Behmand performs cosmetic eyelid surgery in Nashville, Tennessee. ## Eyelid Surgery Procedure During the initial consultation, [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/), will examine your eyes, and discuss your specific concerns with you. He will suggest a treatment plan based on your examination which will meet your desired aesthetic goals. Here is an overview of what to expect during eyelid surgery: - **Upper Eyelid:** As skin ages and stretches, it can cause sagging on the upper eyelids. To correct this, Dr. Behmand will make an incision in the natural crease of the upper eyelid, through which he will remove excess skin and fatty tissue. The natural crease of the eyelid typically well conceals the incision scar, and it may become virtually undetectable once healed. - **Lower Eyelid:** For concerns about excess skin, fine wrinkles, and bagginess of the lower eyelids, Dr. Behmand will make an incision just below the lash line of the lower eyelid to remove excess skin and fatty tissue. This procedure reduces puffiness and adds volume to the semicircular hollow beneath the eyes, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance in the lower eye area. If needed, a procedure called canthopexy will tighten the underlying eyelid muscles. - **Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty**: Also addressing the lower eyelid, transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a surgical approach that removes or relocates excess lower eyelid fat through an incision made on the interior of the lower eyelid. This method is appropriate for individuals with under-eye fat pockets but minimal excess skin. As this technique requires no external incisions, there are no visible scars. ## Eyelid Surgery FAQ’s What is a blepharoplasty?Blepharoplasty, also called eyelid surgery, is a procedure treating excess skin and fatty tissue of the upper and lower eyelids.Can I combine upper and lower eyelid surgery?Absolutely. In fact, for many of our patients, combining upper and lower eyelid surgery offers the most optimal results.Where is the incision located?Each approach utilizes a different method. The incision is placed in the natural crease of the eyelid during upper eyelid surgery. In lower eyelid surgery, the incision is made either along the lash line or on the inside of the lower lid. Regardless of the location, we create the incision to remain as concealed as possible.Can BOTOX® Cosmetic provide similar results as blepharoplasty?No. [BOTOX®](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) Cosmetic is designed to relax the muscles around the eyes, helping reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It cannot correct sagging or excess skin or reduce fatty tissue, which is the purpose of blepharoplasty.How long do results last?Results of eyelid surgery last many years, depending on various individual factors. The effects, however, are not permanent. Natural aging continues after the surgery. You can often extend the outcome by maintaining good general health following surgery, including sun protection.Is there a specific age to consider blepharoplasty?Anatomic indicators, not age, determine candidacy for eyelid surgery. We typically see patients between the ages of 30 and 85 years of age requesting this procedure. Our cosmetic surgeries around the eyes are customized to suit each patient. ## Eyelid Surgery Recovery [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions before your procedure. You should expect to take at least one week off work and avoid all strenuous activity, including exercise, for approximately four weeks following surgery. Some bruising and minor swelling is common post-surgery. While most side effects will typically fade after a few weeks, the skin around your eyes must be treated with extra care for several months. Dr. Behmand advises wearing dark-tinted sunglasses and sunblock during the day to help protect your eyes from sun and wind. Once healed, your eyes should appear younger, fresher, and more alert. > “Although it has only been two weeks since my operation, my results are phenomenal and exceed my expectations! Words cannot justify my feelings. Thank you so much.” --- ### [Brow Lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/brow-lift-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Eyebrow drooping, furrowing, and excessive horizontal lines of the forehead are noticeable signs of aging. This prompts others to ask if you are tired, or even angry, regardless of how you may actually be feeling. Non-surgical improvement of the “angry” furrows between the brows and forehead wrinkles involves using BOTOX® Cosmetic, soft tissue fillers, or similar injectable products. On the other hand, with droopy brows, the use of these products creates a “heavier”, and more tired appearance. In these instances, a minimally invasive brow lift improves deep frown lines and horizontal forehead creases while reducing the droopy appearance of the eyebrows. ## Brow Lift Consultation During the brow lift consultation, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will evaluate not only the forehead, but also the eyelids, and the face. Other procedures, such as a [facelift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/facelift-nashville-tn/), [eyelid surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/eyelid-lift-nashville-tn/), or [laser resurfacing](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/laser-skin-resurfacing-nashville-tn/), may complement the effect of a minimally invasive brow lift, and Dr. Behmand will discuss those with you. ## FAQ’s Are the incisions visible?No. And Endoscopic Brow lift is minimally invasive. The incisions are small, and hidden in the hairline.Can the Brow lift surgery be done with another procedure?Absolutely! Patients frequently combine brow lift with upper or lower [eyelid surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/eyelid-lift-nashville-tn/), [facelift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/facelift-nashville-tn/), and fat grafting to the face. Some patients will also combine a brow lift with certain body procedures to optimize their recovery time.Can this be done under local anesthesia?A brow lift is performed under intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.Are the results similar to that of BOTOX® Cosmetic?No. A brow lift tightens your brows, slightly lifting the sides. As a result of a brow lift, you may strain less to raise your brows, which can also help decrease your forehead lines. However, BOTOX® Cosmetic is designed to smooth the forehead by reducing muscle activity, and is not a replacement for it. ## The Brow Lift Procedure The brow lift procedure is a minimally invasive surgery, performed through small incisions in the hair-bearing scalp. Dr. Behmand uses a delicate fiber optic camera for visualization. The skin around the brows is freed from its low position, and tightened slightly higher, and to the side. He then closes the small scalp incisions. In some instances, patients with a high hairline, or long forehead, may wish to shorten the forehead. In a forehead shortening procedure, Dr. Behmand lifts the brows through an open incision. At the same time, he moves the hairline into a lower, more youthful position on the forehead. Patients with a naturally high-positioned hairline are ideal candidates for forehead shortening surgery, not those with a receding hairline. Shortening the forehead eliminates the aging appearance created by a long forehead. Patients will typically require at least one week to rest and relax in the comfort of home to help recover from the brow lift operation. [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) may advise an alternate recovery period based on the individual’s specific health history, age, and performance of additional procedures. > “Thank you so much for all of your help and support these past few months. I am incredibly happy with my results, and can not thank you enough! I truly feel you listened to me and wanted the very best for me. It was such a wonderful experience going through with the surgery.” After the brow lift is complete, individuals often find that their face has a naturally rested and refreshed look. Our patients commonly report a boost in confidence in their professional and personal lives, due to their new, more youthful appearance. Patients interested in knowing more about brow lift and whether it suits their needs should [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today to schedule a consultation. --- ### [Facial Plastic Surgery for Men](https://www.drbehmand.com/male-plastic-surgery/facial-plastic-surgery-for-men-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** There are many features which are unique to a man’s face, and the way it goes through aging. When planning facial surgery for a man, Dr. Behmand actively considers the unique characteristics of the face, such as beard growth pattern, skin thickness, and appropriately positioning the scar with short male hair. His thorough approach ensures tailored and precise interventions for each individual. Furthermore, he has extensive experience in male facial plastic surgery. Below are some facial rejuvenation procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, that can be formulated to benefit the male face: - [Facelift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/facelift-nashville-tn/) (Rhytidectomy) - [Brow Lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/brow-lift-nashville-tn/) - [Neck Lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/neck-lift-nashville-tn/) - [Rhinoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/rhinoplasty-nashville-tn/) (Nose Reshaping) - [Eyelid Surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/eyelid-lift-nashville-tn/) (Blepharoplasty) - [Laser Skin Resurfacing](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/laser-skin-resurfacing-nashville-tn) - [Chin Surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/chin-augmentation-nashville-tn/) - [Ear Reshaping](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/otoplasty-nashville-tn/) (Otoplasty) ## Your Facial Rejuvenation Process [![male-necklift-before](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/male-necklift-before.jpg "Age-Related Facial Rejuvenation. | Elite Cosmetic Surgery") ![Detailed side profile of an elderly man post-facelift treatment.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/male-necklift-after.jpg "Facelift Procedure. | Elite Cosmetic Surgery") ](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/face/neck-lift/) Before After [View More](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/face/neck-lift/) The first step in initiating your facial rejuvenation procedure is to contact our office for a consultation with [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/). Upon arrival for your consultation, Dr. Behmand will review your facial concerns, surgical goals, and medical history with you. With this information, together, you will determine a treatment plan that offers the best opportunity to achieve your desired outcome. Once you are ready to schedule your procedure, Dr. Behmand’s surgical coordinator will help to guide you through the entire process. This includes assisting you in finding a surgery date, reviewing surgical costs, discussing all pre- and post-operative instructions, and helping you with any details in-between. We encourage you to read further into our various facial procedures. Then, [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) to schedule your consultation. --- ### [Laser Skin Resurfacing](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/laser-skin-resurfacing-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Fine lines, wrinkles, and rough skin is often caused by years of sun damage, age, and environmental exposure (such as pollution and cigarette smoke). Skin that has become rough, blotchy, and wrinkled can typically be refreshed through laser skin resurfacing. ## Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure During this procedure, a laser is used to help remove damaged layers of skin and reduce fine wrinkles. As new skin cells and collagen develop, a firmer, more youthful appearance can be revealed. Age spots, sun spots, and other uneven areas of pigmentation can also be effectively treated using this method. Laser skin resurfacing frequently complements other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as face and neck lift. During your initial consultation with [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/), he will determine the best type of laser to treat your skin condition. He will primarily use a CO2 or Erbium laser for resurfacing. - **CO2 Laser:** This laser is designed for fairer skin types. It is used primarily to reduce fine and deep wrinkles and for skin tightening. Patients with acne scars and hyperpigmentation are also excellent candidates for CO2 laser. - **Erbium Laser:** An Erbium laser will remove the top layers of the skin; however, it does not go quite as deep as the CO2 laser. It typically provides a skin tightening effect and reduces fine wrinkles and mild hyperpigmentation. Most patients will have a shorter recovery time with an Erbium Laser treatment than with CO2. ## Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery Immediately following your laser resurfacing procedure Dr. Behmand will apply a hydrating and calming ointment to your skin. You must continue to apply this ointment for several days following your procedure, as it will help to minimize skin discomfort. For any additional discomfort, you will be prescribed an oral pain medication. Your skin will most likely be red and sensitive for at least 2 weeks following surgery, similar to that of a dark sunburn. During this time, it is important for you to stay out of direct sunlight and use a wide brimmed hat if you must go outdoors. Once given approval, Dr. Behmand will advise you to start a healthy skin care regimen including daily sun protection. This is incredibly important in protecting your investment and helping to ensure that you achieve optimal results for many years to come.

As a result, we often perform the following body procedures for our male patients: - [Tummy Tuck](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) (Abdominoplasty) - [Mini Tummy Tuck](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/mini-tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) - Lower Body Lift - Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) - [Liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/) (Liposculpture) The first step involved in your male body surgery is to schedule your initial consultation.

Moreover, you’ll receive requisition forms for necessary pre-surgery blood work and any other indicated studies.

We will provide you with detailed procedure-specific instructions during your pre-operative visit. If you are interested in learning more about our procedure options and pricing, we encourage you to [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today. We are available to help you with scheduling and guide you through this exciting process. --- ### [Post-Bariatric Breast Surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/post-bariatric/breast-surgery-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** The breasts often lose significant volume and develop sagging after bariatric surgery and massive weight loss. To help recover the initial youthful look, [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) offers both [breast lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/lift-nashville-tn/) and [breast augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/). You can undergo these two procedures alone or combine them. A breast lift aims to remove excess skin and reposition the breast higher on the chest. It is the use of a [breast implant, through breast augmentation,](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/) which adds volume and an improved shape and firmness to the breast. During your consultation with Dr. Behmand, you will have an opportunity to discuss your options and create a treatment plan that is appropriate for your needs and goals. We are excited to help guide you through this second phase of your weight loss process. ## The Post-Bariatric Breast Procedure The duration of your post-bariatric breast procedure varies from 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on whether you require augmentation, lift, or a combination of both. In the case of breast augmentation, the incision is typically made in the crease under the breast. On the other hand, for a breast lift, the incision is commonly around the areola, extending down to the crease. Generally, the ideal position for the breast implant is behind the chest muscle. Any variations suitable for your condition will be discussed by Dr. Behmand during your initial consultation. ## Implants for Post-Bariatric Breast Procedures If you choose to have breast augmentation using implants, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will discuss your implant options during your initial consultation. Our patients have the choice between saline, cohesive silicone gel round, and “gummy bear” shaped implants. ## Recovery From Your Post-Bariatric Breast Procedure Typically, within 1–2 hours of completing your breast procedure, the surgery center will release you to a responsible adult at home. We ask that you take at least 1 week off work to fully recover in the calm and comfort of your home. Most patients will have mild discomfort for the first 3 to 4 days after surgery. You can control this discomfort with prescription medication, provided during your pre-operative appointment. At this time, you’ll also receive detailed post-operative instructions. Please follow these carefully, which include minimizing upper arm movements and avoiding exercise-related physical activity for about 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. For more detailed information about our breast procedures, please take a moment to read through our procedure-specific pages below: - [Breast Lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/lift-nashville-tn/) - [Breast Augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/) - Combined Breast Lift with Augmentation If you are interested in learning more about post-bariatric breast surgery, we encourage you to [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today to schedule your consultation with [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/). --- ### [New page in Blog](https://www.drbehmand.com/mommy-makeover-in-nashville/) **Published:** February 22, 2024 **Author:** admin --- ### [Post-Bariatric Facial Surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/post-bariatric/facial-surgery-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** After the tremendous accomplishment of a massive weight loss, patients have much to celebrate with their improved health and the changes they see in their bodies. However, there are some unforeseen side effects of dramatic weight loss, including excess skin and premature facial aging. Both men and women can experience premature facial aging after weight loss, usually due to a lack of volume in the face resulting from fat loss. The formation of jowls, cheek and temple hollowing, enhanced facial wrinkles, sagging brows, and sagging neck skin are common after a massive weight loss. Some patients also notice that troublesome areas they may have always had, for example, a prominent nose, become more visible after a significant reduction in their body weight. To help alleviate some of these problems, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) can perform various procedures that can add volume and present a more youthful look to your face. Some of these procedures include: - [Facelift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/facelift-nashville-tn/) - [Neck Lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/neck-lift-nashville-tn/) - [Brow Lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/brow-lift-nashville-tn/) - [Facial-fat Grafting](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/fat-grafting-nashville-tn/) - [Blepharoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/eyelid-lift-nashville-tn/) (Eyelid Surgery) - [Rhinoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/rhinoplasty-nashville-tn/) In certain situations, it is appropriate to combine some of the above procedures to achieve the best possible results. For example, drooping eyelids may benefit from the combination of [brow lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/brow-lift-nashville-tn/) and [blepharoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/eyelid-lift-nashville-tn/) (eyelid surgery). Another common combination to address sagging skin and loss of volume is face and neck lift with facial-fat grafting. Each patient may benefit from a different procedure, or a combination of procedures, to achieve their personal goals. The first step to determine what might be the best approach for you is to set up your initial consultation with Dr. Ramin Behmand. [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will review your medical and weight-loss history and help you to decide the best plan to address your post-bariatric facial concerns. Should you have any other excess skin issues that you would like him to address, Dr. Behmand can also examine the relevant areas during the same appointment. In some circumstances, facial and [body procedures](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/) can be done during the same surgery. However, this will depend on the extent of each procedure. If you are interested in learning more about how these procedures can enhance your facial features following weight loss, we encourage you to [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today to set up your initial consultation with Dr. Ramin Behmand. --- ### [Post-Bariatric Body Surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/post-bariatric/body-contouring-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Following dramatic weight loss, patients are usually left with a large amount of excess skin in several areas. These areas may include the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, back, and arms. More often than not, these areas of excess skin do not respond to exercise and may create functional and cosmetic concerns. Some symptoms associated with excess skin following weight loss are: - Rashes - Hygiene concerns related to skin folds - Chafing - Lack of confidence while wearing shorts, skirts, and sleeveless tops - Lack of mobility causing patients to refrain from optimal physical activity - Inability to find clothing that fits properly While traditional plastic surgery procedures, such as [tummy tuck](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/), can help with excess skin in the abdomen, additional procedures, such as a lower body lift and buttock lift, may be required to achieve desired results following weight loss. In post-bariatric weight loss patients, the upper arm lift and thigh lift are relatively similar in technique and principle. These procedures are typically performed to address sagging skin on the arms and legs. Both procedures may be done with other skin tightening procedures and liposuction to achieve a “full body” makeover and to optimize recovery time. ## Your Post-Bariatric Body Procedure [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will make an incision on the inside surface of the upper arm or leg and tighten up the skin and deeper tissues before removing the excess skin and closing the incision. The lower body lift scar typically extends a [tummy tuck](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) incision around the body to allow lifting of the buttocks, front, and side of the thighs, and maximally defining the waistline. You will have a scar following your lift procedure; however, this scar is placed in such a way that it is not generally obvious during regular activity. Your scars will fade in time, but not completely. Most weight-loss patients are so pleased with the improved skin tightness and contour that the scar is not a significant concern to them. ## Recovery Following Your Post-Bariatric Body Surgery [![Detailed image of loose, sagging abdominal skin post-weight loss or pregnancy.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/original.jpg "Sagging Skin After Weight Loss. | Elite Cosmetic Surgery") ![ALT: Close-up of abdomen and hips with leopard print underwear, showing body contouring results.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/original-1.jpg "Body contouring after liposuction. | Elite Cosmetic Surgery") ](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/post-bariatric/) Before After [View More](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/post-bariatric/) Recovery from most post-bariatric body contouring procedures requires you to take at least two weeks off from work. You must take this time to rest and follow all post-operative instructions, which will be provided to you before surgery. You will be asked to refrain from strenuous activity for approximately 6 weeks; this activity includes heavy lifting, running, working out, strenuous housework, and anything else that will increase your heart rate or compromise your recovery. We congratulate you on the extraordinary achievement of your dramatic weight loss. If you are thrilled with your weight loss, but you are still feeling the need for that final improvement to your body makeover, we encourage you to call our office today to [schedule a consultation](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) with [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/).

But most of all, I thank you for your kindness, your compassion, your calmness, and your genuine sense of caring.” --- ### [Post-Bariatric](https://www.drbehmand.com/post-bariatric/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Achieving significant weight loss is an impressive accomplishment. However, individuals who undergo dramatic weight loss, either through bariatric surgery or diet and exercise, often discover that achieving their weight loss goal leads to unexpected excess and loose skin in various body areas. In addition to his training and extensive involvement in many medical and surgical organizations, [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) is also an active member of the American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons.

When you visit [our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/about/) for your initial consultation, Dr. Behmand will review your weight loss and medical history. During this appointment, he will discuss your main goals and customize a surgical treatment specific to your needs. ## Post Bariatric Procedures FAQ’s Should I be at my ultimate goal weight before having a post-bariatric procedure? It is ideal to be at your ultimate goal, or at least within 10–15 pounds of your goal weight. Which procedures typically comprise post-bariatric surgery? Post-bariatric procedures can include an [abdominoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/), lower body lift, [liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/), brachioplasty (arm lift surgery), [breast augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/), [mastopexy](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/lift-nashville-tn/) (breast lift), or [breast reduction](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/reduction-nashville-tn/).

Will my post-bariatric surgery be painful?As with most procedures, you will experience some discomfort for the first few days following surgery. Prescription medications, or long-acting local anesthetics used during the procedure, manage the discomfort, and any residual pain after the procedure.Will insurance cover a post-bariatric procedure?Insurance does not cover elective procedures, such as post-bariatric surgery. In rare circumstances, insurance might cover the removal of excess skin of the abdomen if you are experiencing rashes and discomfort. This is not an [abdominoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/), but rather the removal of the portion of skin which is causing the rash or functional problems. If your insurance covers it, Dr. Behmand will usually combine it with a cosmetic abdominoplasty for best results. However, the abdominoplasty itself will not be covered by insurance. Still, a small portion of the anesthesia and surgery center fees could be covered for the removal of excess skin.How long should I wait after gastric bypass surgery to have a post-bariatric procedure?The timing varies for each patient and is sometimes dependent on your final weight loss goal. In most circumstances, patients will wait at least 1 year after their gastric bypass procedure to reach a stable weight.How much will a post-bariatric procedure cost?Since a post-bariatric procedure can include a combination of many procedures, we will not know your cost until you have an initial consultation with Dr. Behmand. He will evaluate you to address your concerns, and come up with a treatment plan that can achieve the best possible results. After your consultation, you will be provided with a comprehensive quote, which includes surgical fees, surgery center costs, and anesthesia.Will a post-bariatric procedure involve an overnight stay in the surgery center?Some patients might require an overnight stay. This will be determined by [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) during your initial consultation. Below, you will find links to guide you in learning more about the post-bariatric surgical procedures offered at our office. We encourage you to read further and [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) with questions and to schedule your initial consultation. - [Post Bariatric Body Surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/post-bariatric/body-contouring-nashville-tn/) - [Post Bariatric Facial Surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/post-bariatric/facial-surgery-nashville-tn/) - [Post Bariatric Breast Surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/post-bariatric/breast-surgery-nashville-tn/) --- ### [Fat Grafting](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/fat-grafting-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Recently, fat grafting has become a popular addition to almost any procedure. Fat adds volume to areas that lose youthful-looking fat due to factors such as age, weight loss, and pregnancy. Unlike injectable dermal fillers, fat grafting uses your own excess fat from areas of the body including the abdomen, knees, and thighs. Dermal fillers typically last 6–12 months, while fat grafting can be a permanent fix for volume loss. We can perform fat grafting to enhance the volume of certain facial features. Patients often discover that a fuller face can add a youthful glow to their appearance. Fat grafting is a common addition to many facial procedures like [facelift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/facelift-nashville-tn/) and [neck lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/neck-lift-nashville-tn/), [brow lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/brow-lift-nashville-tn/), [blepharoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/eyelid-lift-nashville-tn/) (eyelid surgery), and [rhinoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/rhinoplasty-nashville-tn/) (nose surgery). Many patients express interest in enhancing the shape, contour, or volume of their buttocks through a Brazilian Butt Lift. Surgeons can add fat to the buttocks either independently or with liposuction, abdominoplasty, or lower body lift procedures. ## Candidates for Fat Grafting - You are in generally good health - Patients who have had weight fluctuations leaving them with a loss of volume in certain areas (post-bariatric, post-pregnancy) - You have had certain areas of volume loss due to natural aging - Patients that do not take testosterone or other hormone replacement therapy ## The Fat Grafting Procedure Dr. Behmand will use specialized low-pressure liposuction to harvest your fat for grafting. After removing impurities, and isolating the best fat cells, he will carefully inject small droplets into the desired areas. The total fat volume injected depends on several factors. These include the body areas being treated, the desired amount of change, and the availability of fat from the donor site. ## Recovery From Fat Grafting After your fat grafting procedure, follow all instructions provided during your pre-operative appointment once you return home. Allocate one to two weeks for recovery before resuming work and normal routines. Avoid physical exertion during this crucial time to prevent excess swelling. Prioritize rest, relaxation, and hydration for optimal recovery. Additionally, abstain from all physical activity for at least 4 weeks after surgery, including workouts and strenuous activities that may elevate your heart rate and lead to excess swelling in the fat-grafted areas. > “I can’t fully express how grateful I am to have found you! You are AMAZING! Even though it is early in my recovery I already see the difference and know it will only improve. Thank you for peeling away the layers to reveal the extreme hotness that was hiding underneath it all!” --- ### [Ear Reshaping (Otoplasty)](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/otoplasty-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Patients of all ages undergo otoplasty, or ear reshaping surgery. Patients who seek ear reshaping or reconstruction with [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) are often: 1. Young school-age children who are having social difficulties with their peers due to noticeably protruding or misshapen ears 2. Adults who wish to improve various deformities of the ears for cosmetic reasons 3. Older adults with skin cancers affecting the ear that require reconstruction after removal of the cancer. ## The Ear Surgery Procedure Dr. Behmand performs ear surgery by contouring, repositioning, and reshaping the ear cartilage. These adjustments are meticulously made based on the anatomic origins of the unwanted shape. By carefully shaping the ear cartilage and sculpting the key elements observed in the normal ear, Dr. Behmand can create a more desirable appearance. Additionally, incisions are strategically placed and well-hidden in the crease at the back of the ear. Consequently, the final scars are generally not visible once the normal healing period has passed. ## After Your Ear Reshaping Procedure Immediately after surgery, Dr. Behmand dresses the ears with protective wraps. Shortly following the completion of the procedure, patients go home. They will apply a more lightweight “headband” style of support wrap after a few days. Lastly, most patients will only experience minimal bruising, swelling, and discomfort. Before ear reshaping surgery, Dr. Behmand gives post-operative instructions for optimal results. Adults can usually return to work or school after about a week, but young children need a more extended break to safeguard the newly shaped ear. Patients, regardless of age, should avoid heavy activity or exercise for about 4 weeks after surgery. > “You were the perfect surgeon for our daughter. You were so attentive to her wishes and really went out of your way to get to know her as a person. As you know, I was very nervous about her surgery, but you made us comfortable throughout the whole process, but most importantly you made her feel at ease. Thank you for your tender heart and encouraging words. You definitely have a gift!” To see if the ear reshaping procedure will benefit you, please [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today, and schedule your consultation with [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/), in Nashville, TN. --- ### [Buttock Augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/buttock-augmentation-nashville-tn/) **Published:** November 14, 2016 **Author:** admin **Content:** A Brazilian Butt Lift, or commonly referred to as BBL, is an outpatient, surgical procedure where fat is transferred from unwanted areas of the body to the buttock region. The goal of the operation is to enhance the volume of the buttocks, while reshaping the area into the most attractive form for your body. Donor fat cells are obtained from the back, love handles, and when needed, from the thighs and stomach areas. These fat cells are naturally filtered to separate the best cells for transfer and grafting into the buttocks. These newly injected fat cells work hard to develop blood supply to the newly transferred areas after being injected to both reshape and augment the buttocks. After surgery, a compression garment is applied and worn for the first six weeks of healing. The garment will provide moderate pressure to the areas where fat was harvested and also to the buttocks, where fat cells were transferred. The goal during this recovery period is to control the degree of swelling, and to create an environment in which the greatest percentage of the newly transferred fat cells survives. It is best to avoid applying prolonged sitting pressure to the buttocks during the first 6 weeks, for the fat cells to develop their new blood supply. For the first two weeks after a BBL, it is important not to sit or lay directly on the buttocks for any period greater than 15–20 minutes, including during the night. Weighty pressure can eliminate these new fat cells before they have time to incorporate into the surrounding buttock tissue. Sleeping on your stomach or turning from side to side is the best way to protect the buttocks while healing. From recovery weeks three through six after surgery, it is acceptable to sit for short amounts of time. A period of no more than 30 minutes of sitting is best. Ideally, you would stand or walk around for at least 15 minutes in between these sitting “sessions”. You will continue sleeping on your stomach or sides during this period. Once you are six weeks past having your Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, you may return to normal sitting without reason for concern. At that time, enough healing has occurred that the new shapely appearance of your buttocks is minimally affected by sitting or sleeping on it. You also may resume exercises and regular everyday activity. The final bits of swelling will disappear between 3 and 6 months after surgery, and you will be able to maximally enjoy your new shape.

Many women lose vaginal muscle strength following childbirth. While some or all of this lost muscle tone may be regained in the ensuing 6–12 months after giving vaginal birth, each added pregnancy can further damage the muscles, beyond the range from which they can fully recover. There are many reasons a woman may consider surgical vaginal tightening. [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/), and his staff understand that vaginal laxity is a condition that is a private, and sensitive matter. During your consultation, Dr. Behmand will discuss your concerns and answer your specific questions in detail. Perineoplasty, or vaginal tightening, strictly addresses the vaginal opening, and it does not affect the external cosmetic appearance of the inner and outer labia. For patients who are interested in addressing the cosmetic appearance of the inner and outer labia, we encourage you to read about the [labiaplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/labiaplasty-nashville-tn/) procedure, as this might be an option for you. ## Vaginal Rejuvenation Candidates Common reasons for undergoing a surgical vaginal rejuvenation include: - Noticeable sensation of lost muscle strength - No further improvements with pelvic floor strengthening exercises, such as Kegel exercises - Difficulty achieving sexual stimulation which was previously achievable - Audible sounds from the vagina during intercourse or physical activity It is important to note that these symptoms may be caused by other factors, and a medical professional examination can help determine the origin. Regardless of the reasons for desiring vaginal rejuvenation, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) strives to make his patients feel as comfortable as possible, and he will listen attentively to all expressed concerns and goals for the outcome. Many patients choose to combine vaginal rejuvenation with [labiaplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/labiaplasty-nashville-tn/). This combination allows Dr. Behmand to reduce excess skin of the inner labia if so indicated, as well as perform perineoplasty muscle tightening. ## Vaginal Rejuvenation Procedure (Perineoplasty) Vaginal rejuvenation takes place at our surgery center. This procedure is done under general anesthesia to help ensure optimal safety, and patient experience. The operation typically takes 2 hours, and it is done on an outpatient basis. Most patients can return home shortly following the completion of the procedure. ## Vaginal Rejuvenation Recovery Within 1 to 2 hours after the surgery, you will be released from the surgery center to begin recovery. You will be provided with detailed post-operative instructions. Most patients experience mild discomfort following vaginal rejuvenation, and will be prescribed pain medication to help control any pain. [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) asks that patients take at least 5 to 7 days off work to optimize recovery. Within this time, it is important to rest. Patients will be instructed to take at least 4 weeks off from the gym and any other strenuous activity. They will also be advised to refrain from engaging in solo or accompanied sexual intercourse, as well as tampon use, for at least 6 weeks following surgery. If you are interested in learning more about vaginal rejuvenation, we encourage you to [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) to schedule your consultation today. --- ### [Labiaplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/labiaplasty-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Labiaplasty, sometimes referred to as labial reduction, is an elective surgical procedure that is designed to correct and reduce the size of the labia minora and occasionally, the vulva, which make up the external female genitalia. A labiaplasty is typically performed to achieve more visually attractive genitalia, and at the same time it can also provide functional improvements. Some reasons a labiaplasty may be considered include: - Excessive friction caused from walking, running, and working out - Enlarged labia minora which can get caught on undergarments and pants - Previous tearing or stretching of labia minora in childbirth - Long or hanging labia minora that is visible when standing - Enlarged labia that cause discomfort during sexual activity Many patients are qualified candidates for a labiaplasty regardless of age, size, or race. A labiaplasty will in no way affect the vagina; however, for patients seeking to tighten the vagina in addition to reducing the size of the labia, we encourage them to read about our vaginal rejuvenation procedure, which can be done with the labiaplasty. While it is frequently done alone, it is also very common for patients to have a labiaplasty procedure performed together with other surgical procedures. Some patients choose to have an [abdominoplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/), [liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/), [breast surgery](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/), or other body procedures at the same time. This allows them to maximize recovery and time off work, as well as avoid going under anesthesia again. ## Your Consultation for the Labiaplasty Procedure During the initial consultation, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will review your medical history. He will also perform an exam to fully evaluate the area to be treated. Your appointment will take place in one of our private exam rooms. You are welcome to bring a guest (spouse, friend, or family member) if you will be more comfortable during the exam. If you decide to come without a guest, Dr. Behmand will have his medical assistant present for the exam portion of your consultation. Together with Dr. Behmand, you will decide on the best plan of action to address your areas of concern. Your appointment will conclude with a brief meeting with Dr. Behmand’s patient care coordinator to review your surgical quote and scheduling options. ## Your Labiaplasty Procedure Dr. Ramin Behmand will perform your labiaplasty procedure at our private surgery center under general anesthesia to help optimize comfort during surgery. Your procedure will take approximately 1.5 hours, depending on how extensive the correction is. Shortly after your surgery is completed, you will be released home to begin your recovery in the privacy and comfort of your surroundings. ## Recovery From a Labiaplasty Procedure After you are released home following your labiaplasty, you will be given detailed post-operative instructions that are important to follow during your recovery. [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) advises that you rest and take about 5–7 days off work. After this time, you will be able to return to most normal, non-exercise activities. You will be asked to avoid all exercise activity for approximately 2 weeks and all sexual activity for about 6 weeks after surgery. The labiaplasty recovery usually involves minimal pain; however, you will be prescribed pain medication to help manage discomfort for the first few days following your procedure. If you are interested in learning how a labiaplasty can benefit you, please [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) to schedule your consultation today. --- ### [Inverted Nipple Correction](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/nipple-correction-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Inverted nipple correction is a procedure that corrects bilateral or unilateral inverted nipples. There are various grades of inverted nipples. Some nipples can erect themselves with stimulation, while others remain inverted at all times. Inverted nipples are often congenital in nature, meaning that they have been present from birth or become noticeable around the time of puberty. On the other hand, less common causes include breastfeeding, pregnancy, breast infections, weight gain, or weight loss. Dr. Behmand can perform inverted nipple correction either independently or with another breast procedure. Many patients will combine inverted nipple correction with another procedure to optimize their recovery time. Typically, [breast augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/) surgery, when performed concurrently, will improve the success of inverted nipple correction. Patients who wish to breastfeed in the future should refrain from having inverted nipple correction surgery, as this might impair the ability to breastfeed. ## The Inverted Nipple Correction Procedure The inverted nipple correction procedure typically takes 1 hour. Dr. Behmand performs it at our private surgery center as an outpatient procedure. In some cases, he uses local anesthesia. During the operation, [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will release the deep attachments that pull in the inverted nipple. These may include milk ducts and other tissue bands that are too short to allow the nipple to protrude naturally. Dr. Behmand brings the nipple into a normal position, and fills the tissue void beneath it by reconstructing the space with supportive tissue. Scars are typically minimal, and they are often imperceptible once complete healing has taken place. ## Recovery From Inverted Nipple Correction Recovery from inverted nipple correction is typically fairly easy. We will ask that patients take at least 2 days off work to rest and relax, unless they plan to combine this with another procedure, in which case recovery may be longer. Before surgery, we will provide patients with post-operative instructions to follow. In most cases, we place a special dressing on the nipples, and it remains in place until the first follow-up appointment. It is important to note significant changes, swelling, or discomfort during recovery. During this period, rest, refrain from physical activities, and allow your body to heal. [Contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) to learn more about the inverted nipple correction or other breast procedures offered by [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/), and to schedule your consultation. --- ### [Nipple Reduction](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/nipple-reduction-nashville-ca/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Nipple reduction surgery addresses the size and length of enlarged nipples. This procedure can also combine with a breast lift to reduce the general size of enlarged areolas when indicated. Nipples can often become enlarged due to hormonal changes, genetics, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight gain. Enlarged nipples may result in embarrassment or the inability to wear certain clothing for fear of exposing the nipples. This procedure is a relatively quick and easy surgical solution for a problem that either women or men may face. ## The Nipple Reduction Procedure In some circumstances, Dr. Behmand performs nipple reduction surgery using local anesthesia. But when combined with another breast procedure ([breast lift](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/lift-nashville-tn/) or [breast augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/)) then the surgery is done under general anesthesia. Dr. Behmand performs the nipple reduction procedure at our private surgery center, and it usually takes approximately 1 hour. It is an outpatient procedure, so patients can expect to go home shortly following the completion of the surgery. In the nipple reduction procedure, we will remove the excess length of the nipple and leave behind only a slightly longer than desired length. Dr. Behmand uses this slight excess length to assist in reconstructing a naturally shaped nipple, resembling what one would expect in the absence of surgery. ## Recovery from Nipple Reduction Surgery Recovery from nipple reduction surgery is typically quick. We ask that patients take at least two days off work, unless they plan to have other procedures done at the same time, in which recovery will be longer. It is important to follow all post-surgical instructions, which will be provided at a pre-operative appointment. These instructions will include incision care and temporary physical restrictions (for example; no gym, running, or heavy lifting). > “I just want to say thank you so much for everything and tell you what a pleasure you and your whole staff have been throughout the past couple of months. Every person on your staff has been incredibly professional, courteous, and helpful. You’ve got a great group of people there. > > You’ve made my decision to go through with the surgery and every step since easier, and I now feel confident I have made the right choices.” If you are interested in learning more about nipple reduction surgery, we encourage you to [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) today to schedule your consultation with [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/). --- ### [Plastic Surgery Body Procedures](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** Over time, many patients begin to notice fullness in the abdomen, back, legs, and other areas of the body. These areas of concern may not always have been there, but often begin to show with natural aging. Other factors that affect the shape of the body include weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and hormonal changes related to menopause. The best way to maintain a fit and toned body is to exercise regularly and maintain a balanced diet. However, even with a rigorous workout routine and the healthiest of diets, undesirable body changes do occur. Some patients are unable to reduce the shape or size of some areas of the body, such as the hips, thighs, or stomach. Conversely, some areas may lose volume and fullness, such as the buttocks. For our patients who experience difficulty in attaining their desired body contour on their own, Dr. Behmand uses a variety of surgical approaches to help them achieve their goals. These include reducing size in some areas either through liposuction, or direct excision of skin, and fatty tissues. In other areas, an addition of volume may be needed through fat grafting. In all procedures, the goal is to maintain, or enhance skin tightness, and improve the contour. To achieve these goals, Dr. Behmand will use contouring procedures through [liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/), skin & stomach muscle tightening through a [tummy tuck,](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) also known as abdominoplasty. Volume enhancement is achieved through [fat grafting](https://www.drbehmand.com/face/fat-grafting-nashville-tn/), These procedures are time-tested methods for treating those hard-to-change sections of the body. If you are interested in learning more about liposuction, [tummy tuck](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/), buttock augmentation, and other procedures of the body, we encourage you to read further and [contact our office](https://www.drbehmand.com/contact-us/) to schedule your consultation with [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) today. - [Tummy Tuck](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) (Abdominoplasty) - [Mini Tummy Tuck](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/mini-tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) - [Liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/) - [Labiaplasty](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/labiaplasty-nashville-tn/) - [Vaginal Rejuvenation](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/vaginal-rejuvenation-nashville-tn/) - [Buttock Augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/buttock-augmentation-nashville-tn/) --- ### [Mini Tummy Tuck](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/mini-tummy-tuck-nashville-tn/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** The mini tummy tuck procedure is ideal for those patients who only have loose skin at the lowest part of the abdomen, below the navel. While the scar of a mini tummy tuck is typically smaller than that of a standard tummy tuck, the procedure only addresses a limited area of the abdomen. Patients who are good candidates for a mini tummy tuck are often those who have had a C-section with poor healing around the scar with some skin laxity below the navel. The mini tummy tuck, also known as mini abdominoplasty, is designed to remove the poorly healed C-section scar and improve the contour of the lower abdomen. An advantage of the mini tummy tuck is that there are no incisions around the navel. The main drawback of the procedure is that it does not allow for tightening of separated abdominal muscles. Also known as rectus diastasis, separation of the abdominal muscles frequently occurs during pregnancy to make room for the baby. The second drawback is that it does not tighten, or contour the skin above the navel. Therefore, a mini tummy tuck is appropriate for a select few patients who have localized laxity of skin or poor contour of just the lower abdominal area. The mini tummy tuck can also be combined with [liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/) to achieve the desired contour of the mid-section of the body. [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/), will meet with prospective patients for an initial consultation to determine whether a mini tummy tuck is right for them, or if an alternative procedure better meets their needs. ## The Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure The mini tummy tuck (mini abdominoplasty) is performed under general anesthesia. When compared to the standard tummy tuck, the surgery is shorter, and the recovery somewhat easier. Most patients can return to work within 10 days, and they can typically resume exercising approximately 4–6 weeks after the operation. Dr. Behmand uses a “drain-less” technique that eliminates the need for post-operative drainage tubes. This technique can significantly improve post-operative comfort and mobility. ## Contact Us During your consultation, [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will discuss candidacy requirements for mini tummy tuck and whether it can help achieve your desired goals.

The rising number of male patients has led to cosmetic surgery procedures becoming more tailored to men’s specific needs. While similar to procedures for women, there are subtle yet significant surgical variations that yield optimal results in cosmetic surgery for men. During the initial consultation, [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will provide patients with all the surgical, as well as the non-surgical, options for addressing the areas of concern. They will have an opportunity to discuss various procedures, and, together with Dr. Behmand, they will be able to tailor a plan that offers the best opportunity to achieve individual needs and goals.

Also called genioplasty, this facial contouring technique can dramatically improve the appearance of a weak chin, and the facial profile. There are two main types of chin surgery. The most common approach is to increase size with a custom-shaped, solid silicone chin implant. A second option, called a sliding genioplasty, surgically repositions the chin bone, eliminating the need for an implant. Chin surgery, and rhinoplasty often work in tandem to bring balance to the profile. A small chin extension, and a refined nose shape are individually subtle changes that can dramatically improve the overall balance of the face. ## Chin Surgery Consultation During your initial consultation, [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will examine you, and discuss your ultimate surgical goal. In preparation for surgery, life-size photographs of you are used for precise measurement of your facial features, and the ideal desired outcome. When using an implant, Dr. Behmand will shape a solid piece of silicone into the desired shape. The solid silicone implants used for facial surgery are firm to the touch, therefore mimicking natural bone. This contrasts with the soft silicone implants that are used for [breast augmentation](https://www.drbehmand.com/breast/augmentation-nashville-tn/) surgery. Alternatively, in preparation for a sliding genioplasty, Dr. Behmand will determine the precise distance the chin bone needs to brought forward to achieve your aesthetic goals. ## The Chin Surgery Procedure To place the implant, Dr. Behmand will create a small incision under your chin. He will place the chin implant inside a pocket formed in front of the chin bone, and secure the implant in place. For a sliding genioplasty, Dr. Behmand will place the incision inside the mouth and create a small pocket in front of the chin bone. The chin bone is moved forward from inside the mouth into the pocket. He will then secure the advanced bone permanently in place with a thin titanium plate, about the size of a dime coin. In either case, there is usually minimal scarring. For several days after surgery, you will have swelling, and bruising of the lower face. As with any procedure, the most important detail during your recovery is that you follow all post-operative instructions, which are provided to you before your procedure. We ask that you take at least one week of rest at home. During this time, you will need to eat soft foods to maximally protect the incision in your chin area. [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) will also provide you with the best instructions for limiting exercise and activity, based on your lifestyle.

If you are experiencing any of the following conditions, then you may want to consider a necklift: - Jaw line losing definition - Platysmal bands, or cords, running from under the chin to the lower neck - Loose skin or fatty tissue on the neck - An indistinct transition between chin and neck Every patient’s situation is unique. The neck lift that best suits your needs will depend on several factors. These include your aesthetic goals, the extent of excess skin and laxness, and the existence of fatty tissue. There are several surgical neck rejuvenation procedures to consider. Below are the indications for each. ## Chin and Neck Liposuction Procedure [![Profile of a woman with clear and healthy skin, showcasing personalized dermatology care.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/neck-lift-before.jpg) ![Close-up of a woman’s profile showcasing facial contouring and skin rejuvenation for aesthetic enhancement.](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/neck-lift-after.jpg) ](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/face/neck-lift/) BeforeAfter [View More](https://www.drbehmand.com/gallery/face/neck-lift/) One of the most recognizable features of youthful appearance is a clearly defined jaw line, and an appealing angle from the chin to neck. When these features are shapeless, the result can make a person appear older or heavier than they feel. This is the case with isolated pocket of fatty tissue below the chin, resulting in what we call a “double chin”. [Liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/) is the ideal procedure in patients who have good skin tone of the face & neck, but have excess fatty tissue under the chin. If you are concerned with the appearance of your chin, and neck region due to excess fatty tissue, [liposuction](https://www.drbehmand.com/body/liposuction-nashville-tn/) may be able to help alleviate these issues. Best suited for those with minimal excess skin, liposuction of the neck is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes fatty tissue through inconspicuous incisions using a suction device specifically created for this purpose. Once the procedure is complete, the patient is expected to take at least a week off work to recover. Some bruising and swelling may occur. ## Direct Skin Excision Localized excess loose skin can develop under the chin in patients who lose a significant amount of weight. In these patients, the face, and jawline skin laxity may be minimal. This can also occur due to aging. In these instances, a direct excision of the neck skin, through an incision under the chin, can be considered. Men are the best candidates for this surgery, and tend to both heal, and hide the incision very well. Direct excision of the neck skin has the advantage of a more speedy recovery, and less downtime. ## Skin excision by way of a facelift The face and neck often age in tandem. In most patients, the face, and the neck should be addressed at once to obtain the most aesthetically appealing outcome. The main component of this approach is elevation, and tightening of the underlying face, and neck muscles. The skin excess is then removed through incisions in front and behind the ears, which are well concealed. --- ### [Medical Missions](https://www.drbehmand.com/medical-missions/) **Published:** September 29, 2014 **Author:** admin **Content:** ## Haiti, 2010 In 2010, Haiti was struck by a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 earthquake that directly affected over 3 million people, taking over 150,000 lives, while leaving thousands of others either homeless or with debilitating injuries. [Dr. Ramin Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/), along with a team of 25 other physicians, nurses, EMTs, and various other professionals, traveled to Haiti in the immediate first few days after the devastating earthquake to render desperately needed frontline medical support to the most affected areas. The team arrived in Haiti with 20,000 pounds of medical supplies, much of it donated by Bay Area medical facilities such as John Muir Medical center. This team was assembled to provide immediate multi-specialty medical and surgical assistance to thousands of Haitians, and was the first mobile medical team to provide medical assistance at the epicenter of the earthquake. Dr. Behmand says the “extreme magnitude of so many thousands of lives lost is shocking, \[as well as\] the desperation for medical care in the early days after the earthquake. \[It was\] a truly humbling experience. I was grateful to have been able to be there, and in a small way, make a difference in people’s lives.” The team provided immediate medical care in makeshift surgical tents to some 800 injured patients. ![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/themes/drbehmand/images/slide-previous-btn.png) ![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/themes/drbehmand/images/slide-next-btn.png) ![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/18.jpg) ![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/18-150x150.jpg)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/22-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/24-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/31-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/49-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/57-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/61-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/63-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/65-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/73-150x150.jpg)](#) ## Ethiopia, Operation Smile Operation smile is an international charity that provides reconstructive surgery and other medical care for children from around the world who are born with cleft lip, cleft palate, and other facial and hand deformities. Many children around the world are affected by visible congenital deformities and often are shunned by members of their own communities and are unable to do normal daily activities like smiling, eating, and speaking. Dr. Behmand traveled to Ethiopia with Operation Smile in 2008 and provided surgical care to many affected children, who otherwise would not have access to surgical treatments. The surgical team was fully self-sufficient, having brought all necessary equipment and personnel, so that the operations could be performed in remote areas where they were needed most. Even so, some patients and their families had endured days-long trips by foot, car, or horseback to reach the surgical facilities, which had been set up by the team. ![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/themes/drbehmand/images/slide-previous-btn.png) ![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/themes/drbehmand/images/slide-next-btn.png) ![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/48.jpg) ![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/48-150x150.jpg)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/50-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/52-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/611-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/631-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/80-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/84-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/105-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/106-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/113-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/120-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/182-150x150.jpg)](#)[![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/183-150x150.jpg)](#) ## Batangas City, Philippines Philippine Medical Society of Northern California As part of a multi-specialty group of volunteer surgeons, in the year 2005, Dr. Behmand Travelled to the city of Batangas in the Philippines, where he provided surgical care for under-served children with congenital deformities. The trip was organized by the Philippine Medical Society of Northern California, with the goal of providing definitive care for children who had been unable to receive the necessary reconstructive operation in their area. ## Cartagena, Colombia “Healing The Children” Healing the Children is a charitable organization that coordinates trips all over the world, providing medical care, surgery, and medical supplies to children in need who may otherwise never have the opportunity to be treated. This program runs solely with the assistance of donations and volunteers. [Dr. Behmand](https://www.drbehmand.com/plastic-surgeon-nashville-tn/) traveled to Cartagena, Colombia, with “Healing the Children” in year 2000, to provide reconstructive surgical services to children with congenital deformities. The main focus of this mission was to help children with cleft lips and palates, facial deformities, burn scars, and foot/hand deformities. On the first two days of the mission, hundreds of patients and their families were seen in the clinic to be evaluated for surgery. The initial triage days were followed by six intense surgical days, each day starting in the dark of morning, with a tightly filled schedule. The goal was to safely treat as many children as possible on every surgical day. Dr. Behmand has said, “Each night we left the surgical facility well past midnight, through lines of patients with their families, still waiting, hoping they would eventually have their much needed surgery. There was a feeling among the medical staff that every hour counted.” ![](https://www.drbehmand.com/wp-content/themes/drbehmand/images/slide-previous-btn.png)
