Treatment Options for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Treatment Options for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Bladder leakage, or urinary incontinence, affects both women and men of all ages – although it becomes more common as we get older. The good news is that there are several treatments that can minimize or eliminate bladder leaks. However, with so many treatments available, how do you know which is right for you?

Oakland County plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women in Birmingham, West Bloomfield, Troy, MI and across Southeastern Michigan elliminate bladder leaks with just one treatment, with non-surgical Geneveve radiofrequency.

In this article we discuss the many bladder leak and incontinence treatments on the market – so you can compare “apples to apples” – and see why are patients prefer Geneveve treatments.

What Causes Bladder Leaks?

Before determining the best treatment for your bladder leakage, it is important to identify which of the two primary types of urinary incontinence you have.

Stress incontinence

If coughing, sneezing, laughing, jumping or lifting heavy objects causes your leaks, you likely have stress incontinence. Stress incontinence eaks result when pressure inside your abdomen causes urine to leak through the ring of muscle in your bladder. Childbirth and normal aging are among the causes of this very common condition.

Urge incontinence

If your bladder suddenly empties without warning (even when not laughing, coughing or exerting) or you feel like you need to urinate frequently you may have urge incontinence – also called “overactive bladder.” Urge incontinence occurs when your brain, spinal cord, nerves and bladder don’t work together properly to hold and release urine at the right time.

Diseases that affect the nervous system (eg multiple sclerosis or stroke), can cause urge incontinence. But in many cases, doctors don’t can’t identify the cause of an overactive bladder.

Treatments for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

(1.) Kegel Exercises for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Kegel exercises (tighten the muscles in your pelvis) can help you become more leak-proof.

Pros:

  • Non-surgical
  • Helps with Stress Incontinence

Cons:

  • Takes a lot of work and dedication to exercise on a daily basis;
  • Does not improve Urge Incontinence

(2.) Medication for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Certain medications that can help your bladder hold more, reduce urgency and improve your ability to empty your bladder.

Pros:

  • Can treat Urge Incontinence

Cons:

  • Side effects can include drowsiness dry mouth, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, dizziness, headache, increased blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, and more.

(3.) Topical Estrogen Therapy for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

After menopause, a woman’s body produces less estrogen, which can contribute to deterioration of the supportive tissues around the bladder and urethra.   Applying topical estrogen in the form of a vaginal cream may help rejuvenate deteriorating tissues in the vagina and urinary tract and relieve some incontinence symptoms.

Pros:

  • Can treat Stress Incontinence

Cons:

  • Requires messy application of cream to vagina
  • Linked to certain breast cancers or uterine cancers

(4.) Surgery for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Surgical solutions for incontinence include inserting a strip of mesh to press against your urethra and prevent leaks. As with any surgery, there is the risk associated with the anesthetic as well as the risk of of infection.

Cons:

  • Mesh can erode through the vagina, causing infection, pain, and further urinary problems.
  • Scarring of the vagina and/or pain during sex can occur.
  • Injury to the bladder itself and nearby organs, like the bowel, is possible
  • Downtime after surgery

(5.) Vaginal Rejuvenation for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

“Geneveve” is a new state-of-the-art non-surgical procedure that applies heat to targeted areas of the vagina using radiofrequency, to stimulate the body’s own collagen production. This naturally strengthens and thickens the muscles and tissue surrounding the bladder and in the walls of the vagina – and embarrassing bladder leakage decreases.

Only one 30 to 45 minute Geneveve treatment is needed for most women. It is performed in the comfort of our discreet, state-of-the-art Birmingham, Mi medical office under the supervision of renowned Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ali.

Because Geneveve is a non-surgical procedure, no anesthetic is needed and there is no incision or scarring. There is also no downtime!

Pros:

  • Painless
  • Non-Surgical
  • No Downtime
  • Only Takes One Treatment
  • No Side Effects

Vaginal Rejuvenation: Is Your Vagina Healthy?

Is Your Vagina Healthy?

If your teeth hurt or you have a cavity you’re quick to schedule a dentist’s appointment – and you feel no shame in mentioning your toothache to friends. And if you can’t see as well now that you’re getting a little older, it’s off to the ophthalmologist.

However, when it comes to problems “down there” the vast majority of women are still uncomfortable discussing their vaginal issues, or seeking out medical treatments that can improve the situation.

But maintaining vaginal health is an important part of living life to the fullest, and should be addressed just like any other aspect of maintaining good health.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Restores Vaginal Health

Ensuring vaginal health not only assures a better sex life for you (and your partner) but also helps prevent chronic and embarrassing issues like bladder leaks, and vaginal dryness and itching.

The vast majority of the women who come to our Medical Spa for cosmetic procedures are looking for help dealing with wrinkles, aging skin, sagging breasts, or unwanted fat. But while these patients know that we can rejuvenate their skin, body and breasts, very few realize that we can also rejuvenate their vaginas!

In fact, we offer amazing new nonsurgical ways to truly help women tighten and refresh their vaginal tissue – improving their sexual intimacy and quality of life.

Just like skin, vaginal tissue relies on collagen for its strength, tightness, elasticity and support. And, just like skin, the normal aging process, gravity and physical stresses over the years can cause the vagina to become stretched and weakened. The result is a vaginal looseness called laxity.

And, just like a wrinkle here or there, vaginal laxity is nothing to be embarrassed about, as it happens to almost 50% of women! This means that millions of women suffer with vaginal laxity – with doctors reporting that vaginal laxity is the number one physical change occurring after a vaginal delivery.

With so many women suffering from this, it is a shame that so few people are willing to have an open conversation about it.

The Geneveve treatment was specifically designed to help the millions of women who silently accept vaginal laxity and the associated conditions like bladder leaks, without seeking help.

With a single, comfortable, non-surgical 30 minute treatment Geneveve works on a cellular level to rebuild and restore collagen within the vaginal tissue.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Facts & Figures

Vaginal Rejuvenation Statistics

Vaginal rejuvenation is one of the hottest new cosmetic trends in 2018, according to RealSelf, the most prominent website that ranks cosmetic procedures based on consumer opinions.

Interest in the vaginal rejuvenation category on Real Self increased by 17 percent from 2016 to 2017. In fact, in the past year vaginal tightening actually beat out fat reduction, as the most researched and most desirable cosmetic procedure on Real Self!

Social Media Spreads the Word About Vaginal Rejuvenation

Much of this interest is believed to stem from celebrities and “influencers” spreading the word on television and social media about how vaginal rejuvenation treatments have improved their lives. Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Jada Pinkett Smith and many other high profile figures have all become outspoken fans of radiofrequency (“laser”) vaginal tightening.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons 2016 report included data on vaginal rejuvenation for the first time. That report showed a 39% increase in demand over 2015, with more than 12,000 procedures completed in 2016 alone.

In our Oakland County Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic procedure office we offer the latest, state-of-the-art vaginal tightening and rejuvenation by Vive called “Geneveve”.

On Real Self a remarkable 97% of women who underwent the Geneveve vaginal tightening procedures reported that the treatment was “worth it.” This is even a slightly a higher satisfaction rate than most other brands of vaginal rejuvenation, including: FemiLift 94%, MonaLisa Touch 92% and ThermiVa 91%.

“Just in the last five years there have been considerable investments in new technologies,” RealSelf CEO Tom Seery said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “These new-to-market devices are not just gaining popularity but more importantly, they are ranking high in consumer satisfaction.”

Celebrities Who Have Had Vaginal Rejuvenation

Celebrities Who Have Had Vaginal Rejuvenation

It’s no secret that almost every celebrity has had some cosmetic procedure – whether it is as noticeable as a breast augmentation or something more subtle, like Botox injections.

But you might be surprised to learn that now celebrities are opening up about getting “work done” everywhere – including “below the belt.”

While everyone was talking about Kylie Jenner’s lip injections in 2017, this year’s hot celebrity cosmetic topic is vaginal rejuvenation, or vaginal tightening.

Everyone from Kim Kardashian to Jada Pinkett Smith and Brandi Glanville are publicly singing the praises of this amazing, new, non-surgical technology for restoring vaginal tightness and sensation.

What is Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Vaginal Rejuvenation is less invasive procedures than surgical labiaplasty – with no anesthetic, no downtime and no recovery time.

This state-of-the-art procedure applies heat to targeted areas of the vagina using radiofrequency. This stimulates collagen production, which helps to strengthen and thicken the tissues in the walls of the vagina.

As a result of the thickened and strengthened vaginal tissue, the vagina feels tighter. This not only increases sexual sensation and reduces dryness, but also helps stop embarrassing bladder leakage.

Celebrities Who Have Had Vaginal Rejuvenation

Kim & Kourtney Kardashian had Vaginal Rejuvenation

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, always on the cutting edge, have both had vaginal rejuvenation.

“My sisters they’ve had kids, and there’s a vaginal lasering, to tighten,” said Khloé discussing the procedure on her talk show, Kocktails With Khloé. “In my household all they do is talk about this vagina lasering. It’s like their discussion back and forth.”

Love and Hip Hop’s Hazel E had Vaginal Rejuvenation

Love and Hip Hop‘s Hazel E not only underwent vaginal rejuvenation — but also live-streamed it on Facebook!

Afterwards she posted on Instagram: “If your fave doctor said, ‘Hey, there is a new treatment to increase your orgasm and make your vagina look 16 again,’ I’m sure any of you … would get it too.”

“New man … is 10 years younger, now my vagina is too.” She continued in her inimitable, over-the-top-style!

Real Housewives Sonja Morgan had Vaginal Rejuvenation

“I go to a [Med Spa] all the time for my hair laser removal,” she said on the TV show Real Housewives of New York, continuing to explain that while she was there “They do this tightening and lubricating process… I’ve never had any complaints. It’s always been very good.”

Jada Pinkett Smith had Vaginal Rejuvenation

The never shy (and always stunning) Jada Pinkett Smith recently also made headlines, by opening up about her vaginal rejuvenation treatment.

In a recent episode of her Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk, entitled “Vaginal Rejuvenation 101” Jada Pinkett Smith spoke candidly about her treatment. While she underwent this procedure to resolve her ongoing bladder leak issues, she also expresses that it is about “health” and “vitality.”

Said Jada on the Red Table Talk episode, “Is this a comfortable conversation to always talk about? No. But I think it’s super important.”   She then goes own to stress the importance of talking about vaginal rejuvenation, not only in regard to sex, but for maintaining a healthy body for ourselves.

Breast Augmentation Testimonial & Case Study

Breast Augmentation Testimonial & Case Study – 

Breast Augmentation Case Study

In April of this year (2018) Shannon Lynn M. came from Southgate to our Birmingham, MI plastic surgery office in search of help with a “botched” breast augmentation that was performed 4 years ago by another doctor.

As with many of our patients, Shannon was referred to us by a physician, who knew of Dr. Ali’s stellar reputation and excellent results in breast augmentation surgery and revision.

Unfortunately, Shannon had undergone breast augmentation surgery in 2014 at the hands of doctors who were NOT board certified plastic surgeons like Dr. Ali. Shannon had heard this doctor make claims on a radio advertisement, and like many women she fell for his “hype”.

Shannon’s unfortunate results highlight the extreme importance of checking your plastic surgeon’s credentials, and making sure they have acheived beautiful breast augmentation results in hundreds of surgeries.

Shannon’s first surgeon had implanted breast implants that were too large for her frame. Additionally, he had placed them improperly in her chest. Implants that are too large and/or improperly placed can lead to pain as well as deformity. And that is what happened to Shannon.

When she returned to the same doctor, as well as a second doctor, both misdiagnosed her discomfort as “capsular contracture.” Rather than admit their mistake, Shannon was quoted a fee of an additional $9000 to correct the problem…which she could not afford.

After suffering with these improperly implanted breasts, Shannon was referred to us in April 2018. In June of 2018 Dr. Ali performed a revision breast augmentation, in which he was able to correct the “botched” procedure and reposition the breasts.

Two months later, Shannon has completely healed and she is thrilled with the look, feel and comfort of her breast augmentation revision by Dr. Ali.  We are so glad that Shannon found us, and we are as thrilled as she is with the final results!

Read the testimonial, below, to hear what Shannon has to say about her breast augmentation in her own words.

Breast Augmentation Testimonial

Amazing, words can not describe the gratitude I have for Dr. Ali and his staff!

I had a breast augmentation back in 2014, by one of those big shots that put their names all over the radio… Worst mistake of my life! I was botched, implants bigger than I wanted were put in, the doctor pretty much shoved them into my chest. It was a horrible surgery and experience! A month goes by, and my implants raised even higher, where the top of my implants were at my collar bone, and they were completely different looking. This doctor blamed me for what happened, and told me I had capsular contraction. Now given that I spent 8k on the surgery, they wanted an additional 9k for the surgery to correct it, plus I paid 100 dollars every 2 weeks to get steroids and a laser treatment that was unnecessary.

Knowing I couldn’t afford the surgery, about one year later I visited another big named doctor that was advertised everywhere. Who belittled me for the chest that I had and how I would almost have to go down 200cc (I’m a 425cc) and I would have to have a surgery for capsular contraction as well.

These Doctors are not plastic surgeons come to find out! One is an ear, throat, and nose doctor, and the other being a doctor of general medicine. Who just took classes online to be certified to do cosmetic surgery. I wish I would have known, so educate yourselves and do your homework before having any kind of surgery.

From someone who has had an awful surgery/experience, I am telling you Doctor Ali is the best!

I saw Dr. Ali in April of 2018 (4 years with awful implants), from the moment I walked into his office I was very comfortable and knew I found an amazing doctor. When I had my consolation with him, he knew right away it wasn’t capsular contraction, but a botched surgery. The fact that he sympathized with what I have had been through, and didn’t just try to make it just about the money was comforting. He told me it was going to be a challenge but he would make them look as good as he possibly could.

I had my surgery this previous June, and he did everything and beyond that he told me! I was able to keep my original implants instead of buying new ones, and he made them look so natural and perfect in my eyes! The hospital he works out of was amazing, the staff who works alongside him, and his knowledge and bedside manner is what we all want when undergoing a surgery! I am beyond grateful with the outcome and experience!

How Many People Get Cosmetic Surgery?

How Many People Get Cosmetic Surgery?

It’s no secret anymore that most of the world’s top celebrities have achieved or enhanced their good looks through cosmetic surgery as well as minimally invasice cosmetic procedures.

Kaley Cuoco, Kloe Kardashian and Anna Faris all openly admit to having had breast enhancement surgery – with all three stating that it was one of the best things they ever did for themselves. And, so many stars – including Jennifer Anniston, Tyra Banks, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Nicki Minaj Jennifer Lawrence – owe their symetrical beauty to skillful rhinoplasty (“nose job”).

You may be thinking that cosmetic surgery is fine for these A-listers – but did you know that millions of non-celebrity, everyday people actually get cosmetic surgery every year, as well? As you will see, it’s probably a lot more common than you think!

In this article we share statistics on the number of cosmetic surgeries performed in the United States every year.

Cosmetic Surgery Statistics

Data recently released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reveals that the number of cosmetic procedures performed in the United States continues to grow every year. According to their statistics, there were 15.9 million surgical and minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures performed in the United States in the year 2015.

And since 2000, overall cosmetic procedures have risen 115 percent!

Breast augmentations, liposuction and nose jobs still top the list of most popular cosmetic surgeries. But facelifts have slipped out of the top five. We’re guessing that the reason facelifts are no longer as popular, is that many of our more minimally invasive and non-invasive cosmetic procedures (laser resurfacing, botox, facial fillers, etc.) have taken the place of full facelifts.

Can you guess what the other two “top five” plastic surgeries in the U.S. are? Keep reading to find out!

Top 5 Cosmetic Surgeries in the US

Of the 1.7 million cosmetic surgical procedures performed in 2015, the top 5 were:

  • Breast augmentation surgery

279,143 breast augmentations were performed in 2015 alone. This represents a 31 percent increase over 2000.

  • Liposuction

Nearly as many people in the U.S. underwent Liposuction in 2015, with 222,051 procedures being performed. This is a 5% increase from 2014.

  • Nose reshaping surgery

217,979 rhinoplasties were performed in 2015 in the United States.

  • Eyelid surgery

The fact that 203,934 eyelid surgeries were poerformed may come as a surprise to many.  But drooping eyelids is one oif the most obvious tell-tale signs of aging – in addition to potentially interfereing with vision.

  • Tummy tuck surgery

127,967 tummy tuck procedures were operformed in the US in 2015. This is an increase of 9 percent from 2014, and accounts for a 104% rise since 2000.

How to Stop Bladder Leaks (Part 1)

How to Stop Bladder Leaks (Part 1)

Research has shown that more than half of people who experience bladder leaks (“urinary incontinence”) don’t discuss the condition with their health care provider. But there is really no need to feel embarrassed, since 1 in every 3 women experience bladder leakage when they laugh, sneeze, cough or workout.

Bladder leakage, or urinary incontinence, affects both women and men of all ages – although it becomes more common as we get older. The good news is that there are new treatments that can minimize or eliminate bladder leaks without surgery – sometimes with just one treatment.

What Causes Bladder Leaks?

There are two main types of urinary incontinence stress incontinence and urge incontinence. Knowing which type you have can help you and your doctor determine the best treatment.

  • Stress Incontinence Bladder Leaks

If you have stress incontinence, activities that raise the pressure inside your abdomen cause urine to leak through the muscle in your bladder that normally holds it in. With stress incontinence, coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, exercising jumping and lifting heavy objects is often responsible for a urine leak.

Childbirth, smoking, age or being overweight raises the risk of stress incontinence in women. Stress incontinence is much more rare in men and is often due to prostate cancer treatment, such as radiation or surgery.

  • Urge Incontinence Bladder Leaks

Urge Incontinence – also called overactive bladder – is a medical condition in which the brain, spinal cord and bladder don’t work together properly to hold and release urine at the right time. The bladder may suddenly empty, or a person may feel the need to urinate frequently.

Diseases that affect the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis or stroke, can cause urge incontinence in men and women. In men, an enlarged prostate may be the cause. However, in many cases, doctors can’t identify what causes urge incontinence.

It is also possible to have both types of incontinence at the same time. Fortunately, the majority of both types of urinary incontinence can either be cured or significantly improved.

Home Remedies for Bladder Leaks

There are some steps you can take at home to cut down on bladder leaks.

Avoiding certain foods, drinks and ingredients can help reduce bladder leaks, including:
·Alcohol
·Artificial sweeteners
·Caffeine
·Carbonated beverages
·Chocolate
·Citrus fruits and tomatoes
·Corn syrup
·Honey
·Spicy foods

Overweight and obese women who lose weight also report fewer episodes of bladder leakage. But we all know that weight loss is much easier said than done.

Certain exercises can help control your bladder to some extent, including “Kegel” exercises in which you tighten pelvic muscles to strengthen them.

While these “home remedies”can help to some extent with frustrating bladder leakage, they can be an inconvenience and often are difficult to “follow through” with.

Fortunately, state-of-the-art medical treatments now make it very ease to treat leaking bladders – without surgery! In PART 2 of this article we discuss these new and exciting non-surgical treatments for urinary incontinence!
