Should I Get A Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation?
At AMAE Plastic Surgery in Troy, MI area, many patients come to us asking whether their cosmetic goals will be better achieved with breast augmentation surgery or with breast lift surgery. Since both procedures can result in a youthful, confidence-boosting silhouette, it can seem a little tricky choosing the right one. Both surgeries come with their own unique benefits, and some women even ultimately wind up deciding to get both procedures.
In this article, we’ll take a look at some crucial deciding factors in choosing between a breast lift, breast augmentation, or both!
Differences between Breast Lift & Breast Augmentation
When considering a breast lift versus breast augmentation, one must first understand what makes the two procedures unique. To put it quite simply, breast lift surgery is performed to change the position and shape of the patient’s existing breast tissue, while breast augmentation is performed to increase the patient’s breast size. For this reason, at our Troy, MI area practice, we often perform both procedures on the same patient.
Breast Lift Surgery
Breast lift surgery is performed by making an incision in each breast, after which the skin and tissue of the treatment area is carefully lifted. This results in a tighter, firmer breast shape, which is retained by closing and tightening the incision. Unlike breast augmentation, nothing is implanted within the breast itself.
Breast lift patients can expect their breasts to feel firmer, accentuated by the perky “lifted” appearance from which the procedure gets its name. Breast lift surgery can correct the appearance of downward-pointing nipples, as well as restore the appearance of fullness, and correct the shape or position (height) of the existing breast tissue.
Since a breast lift does not increase or decrease the volume of the breast, patients may chose to have a breast augmentation or reduction performed in conjunction with their breast lift. Board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has years of experience performing both procedures. When performed simultaneously, Dr. Ali is capable of delivering results of both breast lift and breast augmentation surgery that compliment one another in perfect harmony.
Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation patients can expect their procedure to result in larger, fuller breasts. At AMAE Plastic Surgery in Troy, MI area, we are capable of providing the exact increase in volume our breast augmentation patients desire. From the subtlest increase to something significantly more substantial, Dr. Ali and his expert team will not rest until the patient’s goals are met.
Unlike breast lift surgery, breast augmentation achieves its increased volume by making small incisions in the breasts, through which a saline or silicone implant is inserted. At our Troy, MI area practice, the implants we offer – made with either silicone or saline – have been approved by the FDA, and are both equally safe and effective.
Good Breast Lift Candidates
Breast lift surgery is an excellent option for sagging breasts and lax breast skin that is causing the breasts to hang low or point downward. During the breast lift procedure, board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali removes excess skin from each breast, allowing him to lift the tissue and form a firmer, tighter shape. Breast lift surgery is also a popular choice among women who have undergone significant weight loss and have loose, lax or sagging skin as a result.
Good Candidates for Breast Augmentation
No matter how subtle or dramatic the increase, with breast augmentation, the size and shape of one’s bust can be adjusted to meet the exact and specific wants and needs of the patient. During your consultation with board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali, you will be aided in determining exactly what type, shape and size of breast implant is right for you.
Breast Lift & Breast Augmentation Together
So ultimately, which is better: a breast lift or breast augmentation? This will depend upon each woman’s body and her personal aesthetic goals. For many women who have visited our Troy, MI area practice, the answer is unequivocally both! If you are interested in a tighter, lifted silhouette and increasing your cup size, breast lift and breast augmentation surgery may be the combination you’ve been looking for.

Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck Alternatives
/in Oakland County Plastic Surgery /by adminNon-Surgical Tummy Tuck Alternatives –
Tummy tucks, while very effective, can sometimes be cost prohibitive for patients – and can subject the patient to significant downtime. But thanks to remarkable advancements of aesthetic technology, a wide range of treatment options now exist as non-surgical tummy tuck alternatives. And, fortunately for anyone in the Troy, MI area area, we offer the best tummy tuck alternatives at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa.
If you are interested in an alternative to a tummy tuck that offers fat reduction and smoothing and tightening of the abdominal skin, we offer 3 non-invasive treatments that may be right for you: liposuction, CoolSculpting and amazing new Profound skin tightening. These can be used separately or together for a highly effective non-surgical tummy tuck alternative!
Liposuction as a Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck
Traditional tummy tuck surgery is almost always performed under general anesthetic. Liposuction, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive tummy tuck alternative that only requires local anesthetic. This eliminates the risks that come along with general anesthetic, one of the many benefits of this particular non-surgical tummy tuck alternative.
When performing liposuction, board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali creates incisions that are so small – less than 3 mm in length – they can barely be noticed at all, and will gradually fade with time. Yet another reason to opt for this non-surgical tummy tuck!
The best liposuction candidates are either at or near their ideal, healthy weight, who wish to remove stubborn deposits of fat from specific areas. Additionally, this particular non-surgical tummy tuck treatment works best on patients with both good abdominal muscle tone and good skin elasticity.
CoolSculpting as a Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck
Another excellent non-surgical tummy tuck alternative, CoolSculpting is a noninvasive procedure during which unwanted fat cells are frozen and destroyed, to be eliminated from the body through natural processes.
At our Troy, MI area practice, we tend to recommend CoolSculpting to those who are close to their target weight, but are looking for a non-surgical tummy tuck alternative to get rid of stubborn “problem areas” of fat.
Like liposuction, CoolSculpting also works best for people who have both toned abdominal muscles and good skin elasticity.
Profound Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck
When performed on its own – or in combination with fat loss from liposuction or CoolSculpting – amazing new Profound radiofrequency skin tightening can give patients a firm, toned tummy!
At AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we offer this best-in-its-class non-surgical tummy tuck alternative. Thanks to its use of radio-frequency energy, Profound RF Skin Tightening can significantly reduce the appearance of loose, sagging or lax skin with results proven to last.
Good Candidates for Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck
All of these procedures are all ideal for both men and women of almost any age who wish to achieve a flatter abdomen. At AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Troy, MI area, we consider a number of factors when evaluating prospective patients for a non-surgical tummy tuck procedure.
For starters, patients should be non-smokers, who are in generally good health. Patients should also be no more than 20lbs above their target weight, and should not require muscle tightening as part of their non-surgical tummy tuck procedure. Furthermore, non-surgical tummy tuck candidates should not require extensive skin to be removed as part of their treatment. Additionally, we remind our patients that if they have experienced separated abdominal muscles (a common occurrence after pregnancy), these procedures will not be capable of correcting this issue.
While Tummy Tuck surgery is the only way to actually remove loose skin and repair lax or torn abdominal muscles, liposuction, Coolsculpting and/or Profound can offer significant fat reduction and skin tightening in the abdominal area.
Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck Alternatives – Troy, MI area
At AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Troy, MI area, our patients can choose from a number of surgical and non-surgical tummy tuck alternatives.
The best way to find out which procedure best suits your needs – be it a traditional tummy tuck or a less invasive, non-surgical tummy tuck alternative – is to schedule a consultation with us. Call today and find out which procedure is best for you.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Pellets: FAQs
/in Hormone Replacement /by adminHormone Replacement Pellet Therapy: FAQs
At AMAE in Birmingham, MI we offer the safest, most natural and truly effective hormone replacement treatment in the form of BioTE® bioidentical hormone pellet therapy.
In this article, Birmingham, MI board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali, MD answers patients’ most frequently asked questions about BioTE® bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Almost every aspect of human health and wellness is regulated by the body’s hormones. But, decreases or imbalances in the production of hormones puts a person at risk for a great number of health issues. Some of the many problems that can result from hormone imbalance include: loss of energy, weight gain (particularly belly fat), decreased sex drive, painful sex, thyroid problems, aging skin, osteoporosis and many more health problems.
Hormone replacement therapy is used to replace a patient’s missing or declining hormone levels, to restore the healthy functioning of the body’s many systems.
What is “BioIdentical” Hormone Replacement?
The hormones used in bioidentical hormone replacement are derived from natural sources and are structurally, identical to the actual human hormones that occur naturally within a person’s body.
The BioTE® hormone replacement pellets we offer our patients at AMAE in Birmingham, MI are chemically identical to human hormones, as well as completely naturally derived. BioTE® hormone replacement pellets are 100% derived from natural plant or animal sources, and are NOT synthesized in a lab like other hormone treatments.
Naturally restoring hormone balance to patients with bioidentical hormones can offer lasting relief from a wide variety of medical issues and symptoms that are caused by hormone deficiency.
How do Pellets Deliver Bioidentical Hormone Replacement?
BioTE® hormone replacement pellets are inserted under the patient’s skin, by Dr. Ali in our Birmingham, MI medical office. It is a quick 5 minute procedure that only requires a mild local anesthetic.
The pellets are time-released, and continue to release estrogen, and/or testosterone into the body incrementally and consistently over time – replacing the depleted or missing hormones and maintaining a healthy hormone balance.
Why are Hormone Pellets the Best Delivery Method?
Other methods of delivering hormone replacement – including pills and creams – only provide inconsistent delivery of hormones. So, the hormone levels do not stay level or balanced – and relief from symptoms is irregular and unpredictable. However sub-dermal (under-the-skin) time-released pellets deliver constant, consistent, and balanced delivery of the bioidentical hormones.
Why Choose BioTe Hormone Replacement Pellets?
At AMAE Med Spa, in Birmingham, MI Dr. Ali exclusively uses BioTE® natural bio-identical hormone replacement pellets because of their unparalleled quality and well established safety record. Every batch of BioTE® bioidentical hormone pellets is subjected to rigorous testing, to guaranteeing the highest quality.
The creation of the hormones used in BioTe hormone replacement pellet therapy is overseen by a dedicated FDA compliance officer. And the pellets used are compliant with the rigid FDA process of sterility and endotoxin control.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Pellets – Birmingham, MI
If your health problems have increase – or your quality of life has declined – a hormone production decrease or imbalance may be the underlying cause. But BioTe Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Pellets, may be the answer to help you live an active, normal, and healthy life again.

Give Her (or Him!) What They Really Want for Christmas: Better Sex!
/in Vaginal Rejuvenation /by adminGive Her (or Him!) What They Really Want for Christmas: Better Sex!
If you’re in the Detroit area and wish you could experience better sex, at AMAE, we just may have the answer. Thanks to the Viveve vaginal rejuvenation procedure we offer, both you and your partner will be able to enjoy better sex than you have for many years.
Better Sex with Vaginal Rejuvenation
Among the many components of a healthy romantic relationship is sexual intimacy. For many couples, their sexual relationship is the focal point of the early days of their partnership. But as time wears on, factors such as children and careers can force a couple’s sexual relationship onto the back burner. And the changes in a woman’s body due to childbirth and hormone decrease can negatively affect sexual enjoyment. At our Detroit area med spa, many of our vaginal rejuvenation patients come to us out of a desire for a better sex life.
By the time many couples find themselves with more time to devote to sexual intimacy, other factors may begin to present themselves that prevent them from doing so. Due to physical changes in a woman’s vagina (especially after menopause) laxity, dryness, and pain during intercourse can dampen a woman’s sexual enjoyment, as well as that of her partner. Maturing women and their partners often wish they could experience better sex. But thanks to vaginal rejuvenation, that desire can become a reality.
Vaginal rejuvenation can help correct the laxity, dryness, loss of sensation, and even vaginal pain that often follows childbirth and aging. At our Detroit area med spa, we perform Viveve vaginal rejuvenation to improve the tightness, tone, moisture, and all-around sensitivity of the vagina. Through vaginal rejuvenation, women can also eliminate pain during intercourse, and enjoy greater sensation that results in all-around better sex for both partners.
The incredible non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedure is capable of reversing myriad problems of female intimacy. Using groundbreaking radiofrequency technology, vaginal rejuvenation is able to improve the tightness, elasticity, lubrication, and all-around sensation of the vagina. With just one treatment, our patients access better sex -without the need for hormones or surgery.
Vaginal rejuvenation is performed using gentle, non-surgical radiofrequency to stimulate the vaginal tissue. This triggers the regeneration of the cells of the vagina, and promotes the production of collagen. The end result is a restored, tighter, more lubricated and elastic, youthful vagina – and better sex for both the patient and her partner.
Cost of Vaginal Rejuvenation in Detroit
Vaginal rejuvenation has no side effects, no complications, and comes with no downtime. Vaginal rejuvenation provides better sex in a way that is completely safe and completely natural. And while vaginal rejuvenation is not covered by insurance providers, at AMAE Med Spa, we strive to provide the most affordable experience possible. That’s why we offer financing to all of our patients.
Additionally, individuals in the Detroit area have the option of giving their partner the gift of better sex and improved intimacy with a gift card to AMAE.
The road to better sex as a couple is well worth a small investment. By investing in vaginal rejuvenation, patients invest in their relationship’s health and longevity.

The Science Behind Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift
/in Face Lift, Skin Tightening /by adminThe Science Behind Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift –
At AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in the Detroit area, we proudly offer our patients the innovative new Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift.
The Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift is a form of radiofrequency treatment capable not only of tightening the patient’s skin, but also increasing volume and improving elasticity of tissue -particularly in wrinkles around the mouth and in the area around the jowls. The unparalleled results of this RF Non-Surgical Facelift treatment are due it its ability to stimulate the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Profound is so effective as an RF non-surgical facelift alternative, it has been clinically proven to produce results that match the effect of facelift surgery by as much as one-third or more.
With over 30 years of experience in his field, board certified Detroit area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali views the profound RF non-surgical facelift as one of the most remarkable advancements in the history of aesthetic medicine. This article focuses on the technical science behind the Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift. For more general information read our Profound Non-Surgical Facelift FAQs.
The Science Behind Radiofrequency Non-surgical Facelifts
The Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift treatment is performed using a long-pulse, multi-bipolar, radio-frequency microneedling device. This allows for the Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift to deliver precisely the correct amount of energy required to safely and reliably smooth and tighten the skin of the treatment area.
Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift vs CO2 Lasers
In addition to the Profound RF Non-Surgical facelift, we also offer our Detroit area patients CO2 laser skin resurfacing. While this procedure is an excellent way to treat facial lines and wrinkles, it does noting to improve the skin’s elasticity. The Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift device is the first of its kind to receive approval from the FDA to promote the production of elastin.
The Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift is able to treat sagginess in the skin of the jowls, neck, and lower face in a way that a CO2 laser simply cannot. The Profound RF Non-Surgical facelift also has an advantage over CO2 laser treatments thanks to its superior ability to soften and improve wrinkles and lines surrounding the mouth.
And unlike a Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift, results from CO2 laser skin resurfacing are preceded by a lengthy period of redness. Additionally, the Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift has the added benefit of being able to treat skin anywhere on the body besides the eyelids. CO2 laser skin resurfacing, on the other hand, can only be performed on the face. And finally, CO2 laser skin resurfacing has the ability to permanently lighten the skin of the treatment area -something Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift patients do not have to worry about.
Other Treatment Areas for Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift
At AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in the Detroit area, we offer the Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift to correct aesthetic issues not only on the face, but on a great many other treatment areas. Among the areas proven to benefit from the procedure include the lower abdomen, the skin above the knees, the meeting point of the leg and buttocks, and the chest/cleavage area.
Additionally, the Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift treatment is a perfect compliment to body contouring procedures like CoolSculpting, capable of tightening skin that has become loose from fat loss.
Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift – Detroit Area
The Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift is capable of providing skin tightening on par with 37% of a traditional facelift, but frees the patient from the expense and downtime of undergoing facelift surgery.

6 Reasons We Love Profound RF Skin Tightening
/in Face Lift, Skin Tightening /by admin6 Reasons We Love Profound RF Skin Tightening –
With a long-standing commitment to providing his patients with the best, most technologically-advanced treatment available, board certified Birmingham, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali is proud to be one of the Detroit area’s only aesthetic doctors to offer the revolutionary Profound RF Skin Tightening Treatment.
This groundbreaking microneedling procedure uses radio-frequency energy to provide incredible skin tightening results without the need for surgery. Profound RF Skin Tightening can significantly reduce the appearance of aging; providing natural-looking results that last.
In this article, Dr. Ali answers some of the questions most frequently asked of him by patients of the Profound RF Skin Tightening treatment.
Profound RF Skin Tightening is Non-Surgical
While the skin tightening results of facelift surgery are achieved by physically pulling back the patient’s skin, Profound RF Skin Tightening lets the body’s own healing response do almost all of the work. Profound stimulates the body’s production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid – the three ingredients necessary for skin tightening.
Our Birmingham, MI patients who chose Profound are provided the same remarkable skin tightening of a traditional facelift without having to undergo surgery.
Profound RF Skin Tightening Does NOT require General Anesthetic
Profound RF skin tightening is not only non-surgical, but also minimally invasive. At our Birmingham, MI med spa, Profound RF skin tightening is performed using safe, local anesthesia. For an extra relaxing experience, we also offer our Profound RF Skin Tightening patients access to a number of oral medications. In most cases, this groundbreaking skin tightening treatment only takes about an hour to complete.
Profound RF Skin Tightening Lasts for Several Years
While individual results of Profound RF skin tightening will vary from patient to patient, our Birmingham, MI patients can generally expect results from their treatment to last for several years. When compared to the results of facial fillers, this timeframe is even more impressive – facial filler results tend to last no longer than a year, at most.
Results from Profound RF Skin Tightening usually become visible approximately 6 to 8 weeks after treatment, and will continue to improve over a 3-9 month period.
Profound RF Skin Tightening is More Effective
Perhaps more impressive than any other of its features, Profound RF Skin Tightening has a 100% response rate. For non-surgical, non-ablative technologies, such a response rate is practically unheard of.
With a 100% response rate for reducing wrinkles and fine lines, Profound RF Skin Tightening also has an almost-equally impressive 95% response rate for improving sagging skin. Based on these numbers alone, patients can confidently visit our Birmingham, MI area medical spa with no doubt whatsoever that they will be provided stellar results.
Profound RF Skin Tightening has Minimal Downtime
While our Birmingham, MI area patients should expect some minor bruising and swelling from their Profound RF Skin Tightening treatment, it should resolve completely after no more than a week or two. However, since Profound RF Skin Tightening doesn’t disrupt the normal skin barrier, the procedure should not result in any peeling or oozing. Patients also face very little risk of pigment changes, and usually only require five or so days of downtime to heal.
Profound RF Skin Tightening is Affordable
The price of Profound RF Skin Tightening is based on the specific area(s) our Birmingham, MI area patients wish to treat. But on average, traditional facelift surgery costs as much as 60% more than Profound RF Skin Tightening!

A Complete Guide to Rhinoplasty Surgery (Part II)
/in Nose Job, Rhinoplasty /by adminA Complete Guide to Rhinoplasty Surgery (Part II)
When a person decides to get rhinoplasty, they’re making a choice that will impact the remainder of their lives. Such a big decision requires first acquiring all necessary knowledge regarding the procedure.
In Part II of our Complete Guide to Rhinoplasty Surgery, board certified Troy, MI plastic surgeon continues to discuss everything a prospective patient needs to know before visiting us for rhinoplasty.
CLICK HERE for Part 1 of The Complete Guide to Rhinoplasty Surgery
The Rhinoplasty Surgery Procedure
At AMAE Plastic Surgery in Troy, MI, most of our rhinoplasty procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. There are two distinct methods of performing the procedure: Open Rhinoplasty and Closed Rhinoplasty. While both methods involve making an incision in the internal nostril region, Open Rhinoplasty also includes an additional, external incision on the tissue dividing the nostrils.
The skin of the nose will then be “undraped,” allowing for visibility of the nose’s inner structures. Open Rhinoplasty allows for substantial changes to be made to the nose, and is most commonly performed either to correct a previous, “botched” procedure, and on patients whose noses have a particularly challenging anatomy.
During Closed Rhinoplasty, on the other hand, no external incisions are made. With them all instead made inside the nose, Open Rhinoplasty is less likely to result in scarring. However, the results of Closed Rhinoplasty are considerably subtler than Open Rhinoplasty.
Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali carefully determines the method of rhinoplasty best suited to meet his patients’ needs, and has an outstanding track record performing countless instances of both Open and Closed Rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty Surgery Recovery & Downtime
While no two cases of rhinoplasty are ever the same, most cases of both open and closed rhinoplasty are followed by at least one-to-two weeks of downtime. Most Closed Rhinoplasty patients experience the most rapid period of recovery within 5 to 6 days, after which time they are free to remove the splint from their nose and resume their normal daily routine.
But although rhinoplasty patients usually experience a relatively quick period of initial recovery, their complete healing process can continue for as long as one to three years. Since the skin of the nose requires time to shrink to its new, underlying framework, the total healing process is longer than many other forms of cosmetic surgery.
But while rhinoplasty patients do experience a recovery period longer than other plastic surgery patients, they generally also experience less pain. While rhinoplasty usually results in a fair amount of bruising and swelling, patients routinely report any pain following the procedure to be surprisingly tolerable. To ensure his rhinoplasty patients experience as little pain as possible, board-certified Troy, MI plastic surgeon Dr. Ali gladly recommends and prescribes appropriate pain medications.
