How to Choose the Right Plastic Surgeon

Bloomfield Hills, MI– Choosing a plastic surgeon is a decision that will affect you for years to come, perhaps even for your entire life. A successful procedure will not only make you look better, but it will also give you greater confidence and boost your quality of life. If you instead make the mistake of choosing an inexperienced or unethical surgeon, you are at risk of having poor results, additional costs, or – worse of all – serious injury.

Most patients believe that as long as their plastic surgeon is certified by the state medical boards, they are a safe choice. It is important to realize the government does not require a plastic surgeon to be specifically trained and certified in every procedure he or she offers. This problem is even more common in cosmetic surgery since many general surgeons begin offering additional cosmetic procedures in hopes of generated more profit.
Things to ask and look for:

  • Are you certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery?
  • How much experience do you have performing my specific procedure?
  • What training did you undergo as it relates to the procedure I am interested in?
  • Or you could ask the doctor to perform the operation in a hospital, as hospitals don’t allow unqualified surgeons to perform surgery.

Experience In the Your Desired Procedure

It’s best to choose a surgeon who is specialized and board certified in plastic surgery, but it’s also important to realize that plastic surgeons can have also have subspecialties within any given field. Not all procedures are created equal. Each type of procedure requires a different skill set. For example, operating on a breast (which is mostly made up of soft and glandular tissue) is quite different than operating on an area with bone or cartilage.

To find the right doctor, you need to choose a board certified plastic surgeon. Second, be sure the surgeon has plenty of experience in the specific procedure you plan to have.

Other things to look for:

Once you’ve narrowed down your list, be sure to compare each doctor’s results. Look through the surgeons’ before and after photos for patients with features resembling your own. For example, if you want a facial procedure, look for patients with similar facial characteristics as your own. Do their results reflect what you want to look like following your procedure? Think hard about whether the pictured results appeal to you personally. If they don’t, look somewhere else for the ideal plastic surgeon.

Comfort and Care

Undergoing plastic surgery is an extremely personal matter. You should feel completely comfortable with your surgeon and his or her team.

You should also judge the level of care you receive. Are you being served and treated well? Is the staff helpful and friendly? Do you feel that you are completely prepared and informed of the risks and realities of surgery and recovery? Are your questions and concerns always promptly and respectfully addressed?

It’s a big decision to have plastic surgery. Do your homework, and you’re sure to find the perfect plastic surgeon for you.

If you are looking for the ideal plastic surgeon, look no further than Hour-Detroit magazine’s Top Doc 2016 winner Dr. M. Azhar Ali. Call or visit Amae Plastic Surgery Center today to book your consultation.

Micro needling MI

How to Radically Rejuvenate Your Skin

Bloomfield Hills, MI – Long gone are the days when the only options for better skin were vast amounts of makeup or painful, time-consuming procedures. While a healthy lifestyle goes a long way, sometimes it’s just not enough to keep skin youthful, even, and smooth. Luckily, there are more options now than ever before for getting –and maintaining– perfection.

“We have so many ways to help people have the appearance they’ve always dreamed of,” says top Michigan surgeon, Dr. Ali. The board-certified doctor, with more than 6,000 plastic surgeries to his credit, continues, “Contrary to popular belief, facial treatments don’t have to be painful or expensive, and they may take less time than most people think. For some procedures, patients can come in during the morning and return to work after lunch.” Below are some of the newest offerings from Dr. Ali’s Amae Plastic Surgery Center.

Non-ablative Laser Facial Treatments

This popular procedure is ideal for treating age spots, scars, wrinkles, and sun-damaged skin. As it doesn’t damage the skin’s surface, healing is relatively fast. Also called fractional resurfacing, non-ablative treatments can give the skin a more even tone with a very minimal amount of pain. What’s better, this type of procedure can have pronounced results for even those under 50 with non-sagging skin.

Photo Facials

Depending on the patient’s goals, photo facials are used for everything from reducing brown spots, acne, spider veins, and redness, to boosting the body’s production of collagen. “There are several different versions of this treatment, so it’s important to talk with your doctor to best match your needs,” advises Dr. Ali. The two main types of photo facials utilize light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or intense pulsed light (IPL). “Since these treatments have different modalities and outcomes, I carefully consult with each patient to decide which will yield the best results possible.”

While prices can vary on photo facials, it’s still a fairly inexpensive way to revitalize skin.

Micro Needling

Micro needling is a fast, simple and nearly painless procedure that doesn’t use chemicals or abrasives. Instead, it uses a series of tiny needles that stimulate the body’s production of collagen and skin repair mechanisms. “What’s great about micro needling,” notes Dr. Ali, “is that it can be done easily and on any area of the body. You can return to work immediately following treatment, and the outcome is fantastic.” Drastic improvements are noticeable within a few weeks, though multiple visits are usually recommended for optimal benefits.

Micro needling can treat fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, stretch marks, scars, aging hands, and loosening skin. It can also be effective as a way to fill in acne scars and improve overall skin tone.

The cost of this procedure can vary, so a conversation with a doctor is crucial. “The treatment can include a numbing agent or not, growth factor serum or not, aftercare or not, so I’m happy to discuss options with each patient,” says Dr. Ali, noting that such customization is key to attaining lasting results.

Using a Combination of Cosmetic Surgery Treatments

“When trying to achieve your ideal skin, it’s often best to use a combination of treatments,” notes Dr. Ali. “Using multiple methods can get you the desired results in a timely and sustainable manner.” Since many of these procedures may require several repetitions, it’s important to keep in mind your ultimate goals.

“Of course,” Dr. Ali adds, “taking care of yourself is also paramount. A good diet, regular exercise, good sleep, and at-home skincare all contribute to having a healthy life. However, there are now other ways we can improve upon your physique, so why not take advantage of that as well?”

Dr. Ali is happy to consult with patients to develop a detailed care plan perfectly suited to their desires.

To find out more about the various options available, and to get a detailed consultation, contact Dr. Ali at Amae Plastic Surgery Center in Blomfield Hills, Michigan today to schedule an appointment.

8 Plastic Surgery Procedures That Can Make Your Face Look Years Younger

Bloomfield Hills, MI – Are you watching the years pass by every time you look in the mirror? Do fine lines and wrinkles have you looking way past your used by date? Maybe it’s time for a new, younger looking you in the new year.

Dr. Ali offers eight facial plastic surgery procedures at Amae Plastic Surgery Center that can help you look as young as you feel.

From your forehead and neck to your ears and nose, Dr. Ali can transform your appearance to one that is more aesthetically pleasing to every eye.

Here are the eight surgeries Dr. Ali recommends if you don’t quite like one or more aspects of your facial appearance.

Brow Lift

Droopy eyebrows and deep forehead lines can easily be corrected with a brow lift. During the treatment, Dr. Ali will remove some of the muscle and tissue, then raise your eyebrows. This has the effect of smoothing the forehead while minimizing frown lines.

In the past, this procedure involved a large incision across the scalp. Thanks to more advanced techniques in modern plastic surgery, Dr. Ali will only need to make two tiny incisions behind the hair line. These scars are completely invisible once healed.

In some cases, this procedure is performed in conjunction with eyelid surgery.

Eyelid Surgery

Are your eyelids beginning to bulge or wrinkle? Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, can correct excess skin and fat, which contributes to the effect known as bags under the eyes.

During treatment, Dr. Ali will tighten your eyelid skin while preserving and redistributing the fat around your eyes to achieve a more natural appearance.

Facelift

Age can wreak havoc on our faces. We develop cheek folds, saggy cheeks (jowls), and a wrinkled neck. To erase years from your face, Dr. Ali recommends a facelift.

A facelift involves the removal of excess tissue and the tightening of your facial skin. In some cases, your face can be repositioned without external scarring. Most patients who receive facelifts are between 40 and 60 years of age, however even those in their 70s and 80s have experienced excellent results.

Necklift

Age affects the face negatively, but our necks get it the worst. A wrinkled neck is hardly attractive. To achieve a smoother, more defined neck area, Dr. Ali suggests a necklift.
During a necklift procedure, excess fatty deposits will be removed and the skin stretched to create a smoother, more defined neck area.

In many cases a necklift will be performed in conjunction with a facelift. The procedure takes around 2.5 hours and you’ll be home the same day.

Facial Reconstruction

For the correction of large, unsightly scars or facial wounds, Dr. Ali recommends scar revision or skin grafting.

Skin revision involves the meticulous practice of changing the direction of the scar so that it blends with your normal skin crease.

Skin grafting is one of the most common reconstructive procedures. The treatment can cover large wounds, which would otherwise take months to heal.

Dr. Ali will harvest skin from another area of your body (called the donor site) and will then apply that tissue to the wound (recipient site). The newly applied tissue will reestablish blood supply by stimulating the growth of fine blood vessels also known as capillaries. The process takes about a week to complete and can help you heal much quicker with a focus on aesthetics.

Nose Reshaping

Rhinoplasty also referred to as a “nose job” can alter the size, shape, and, in some cases, the function of your nose. In other words, not only can Dr. Ali make you happier with your nose, but he can correct breathing problems caused by a deviated septum or by providing support to certain areas of your nose.

Dr. Ali will either make incisions inside of the nose (called “closed rhinoplasty”) or across the columella, the strip of tissue separating the nostrils (called “open rhinoplasty”). The nose will then be built up to achieve a more aesthetically-pleasing form and, in some cases, improve your breathing.

Cheek Implants

With more aesthetic facial contours, you can look like a whole new person. Dr. Ali uses facial implants to provide your face with a more harmonious balance. Cheek implants are safe, effective, and can help you finally feel great about the way you look.

Ear Surgery

Deformed ears can detract from your appearance. Otoplasty or ear surgery can make your ears appear more symmetrical and balanced, leading to improved aesthetics without affecting your hearing one bit.

It’s a new year. Don’t you think it’s also time for a new, younger looking you? Contact Dr. Ali today at Amae Plastic Surgery Center and ask about one or more of the above procedures to turn back the clock in the new year.

Facelift

Looking Younger With a Facelift vs. Liquid Facelift, What’s the Difference?

Bloomfield Hills, MI – When the goal is to look years younger, a facelift is the way to go. What facelift, then, should one choose?

It’s not common knowledge that there are two types of facelifts. There’s the traditional facelift, and then there’s the less known liquid facelift. What’s the difference?

Top Michigan plastic surgeon Dr. M. Azhar Ali explains the advantages and disadvantages of these two image-enhancing treatments.

Liquid Facelift

The liquid facelift isn’t much of a lift at all. It’s a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the use of transdermal fillers.

Dr. Ali performs liquid facelifts in his Bloomfield Hills, Detroit office, and says that many patients remain unaware that liquid facelifts, while they are able to turn back time on the face, aren’t permanent.

Liquid facelifts make use of injectable fillers that are comprised of biocompatible materials. The fillers provide volume to areas of the face that have become sunken and misshapen due to age. The fillers smooth wrinkles and create a more youthful appearance.

According to Dr. Ali, the dermal fillers will eventually become absorbed by the body, prompting the patient to undergo a follow-up procedure to lengthen the effects.

Dr. Ali points to a myriad of benefits to liquid facelifts, however. In addition to giving the patient a more youthful appearance, there is little to no discomfort and almost no downtime.

The cost of a liquid facelift is also very affordable. Though the cost of the procedure is one area Dr. Ali hopes that patients will analyze carefully before making a decision to undergo this life-enhancing procedure.

“Any doctor can take a weekend course and call themselves a cosmetic surgeon,” says Dr. Ali. The Hour-Detroit magazine’s top doc 2016 award winner says that many patients may turn to subpar cosmetic surgeons in an effort to save money, but patient beware.

Dr. Ali says that only a plastic surgeon who has undergone years of intensive study after medical school can perform liquid facelifts, in addition to traditional facelifts, with the care and precision patients expect.

Dr. Ali says that cost should never be a factor when it comes to one’s appearance. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for. Dr. Ali advises patients to research the procedure and doctor heavily before signing up for liquid facelifts or any other cosmetic procedure.

Traditional Facelift

The traditional facelift is a surgical treatment that involves the drawing back and tightening of the face. This also smooths out wrinkles and can do away with sagging cheeks (jowls). Unlike liquid facelifts, however, the effects are permanent and more natural-looking when done well.

Dr. Ali has performed dozens of facelifts in his years at Amae Plastic Surgery Center and says that while the cost may be higher, and there may be some downtime following the procedure, patients are typically happier with the long-lasting effects of a facelift when compared to the temporary effects of a liquid facelift.

Both the liquid facelift and facelift can erase the years and give an ample boost to your self-esteem. Dr. Ali says that if budget is a concern, a liquid facelift is a perfectly viable alternative to the traditional facelift. However, only the facelift can provide the longevity and youthfulness that is sought out by most plastic surgery patients.

Mommy Makeover plastic surgery

Mommy Makeover Plastic Surgery Procedures Giving Women a New Lease on Life

Bloomfield Hills, MI – When pregnancy and age have ravaged a woman’s body, she has two choices: She can lament the fact that her pre-baby figure is long gone every time she looks in the mirror, or she can opt for a Mommy Makeover procedure from a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon.

A Mommy Makeover is actually a combination of surgical procedures that address the woman’s breasts, midsection and other problem areas. Also referred to as postpartum body contouring, a Mommy Makeover combines the tummy tuck, breast lift, and other procedures to enhance a woman’s appearance.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 62% of mothers seek out plastic surgery at some point following childbirth in order to regain her pre-baby figure. This figure shows that women today are more concerned with looking good than ever before.

Top Michigan plastic surgeon Dr. M. Azhar Ali regularly performs Mommy Makeover treatments at Amae Plastic Surgery Center in Bloomfield Hills, Detroit, Michigan, also serving Clarkston, Richmond Hills and Rochester Hills.

The Hour-Detroit top doc 2016 award winner said, “Childbirth can wreak havoc on a woman’s body. To make matters worse, many times her metabolism will slow to a crawl, making diet and exercise almost useless in the fight against weight gain.”

Dr. Ali offers women a chance to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies with a bundle of procedures at a discount known as the Mommy Makeover.

Dr. Ali stresses that while the term “Mommy Makeover” may be a fairly recent phenomenon, the procedures involved have a long history and a successful track record.

A typical makeover might involve a tummy tuck and a breast procedure, such as a breast augmentation or enlargement, lift, or reduction. The treatment may also include liposuction of the legs, arms and midsection.

How does a woman know if she is a good candidate for surgery?

If pregnancy has negatively affected the size and/or shape of a woman’s breasts, if she dislikes the appearance of her sagging tummy or stretch marks, and if she has pockets of fat on her waist, arms, thighs or abdomen, she may be an excellent candidate for a Mommy Makeover procedure.

Women who have undergone Mommy Makeover procedures enjoy a more youthful bust and flatter tummy, not to mention clothes (and swimsuits) tend to fit better. Most importantly, the procedure can give the woman a significant boost in self-esteem, not to mention add to her quality of life.

All Mommy Makeover procedures begin with an initial consultation. During this hour-long meeting, Dr. Ali will ensure that the patient is of sound mind and judgement, and is realistic about all expectations.

“A Mommy Makeover can help a woman feel good about her body again,” Dr. Ali said. “The best part is that all of the procedures can be performed at the same time, saving mothers time and money while improving every area of her life.”

To learn more about the Mommy Makeover procedure or to schedule a consultation with esteemed Michigan plastic surgeon Dr. Ali, contact Amae Plastic Surgery Center today.

Cosmetic Procedure

Michigan Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ali Explains the Four “Lift” Surgeries to Reverse Gravity and Age

Detroit, MI – It would be nice if we could retain our youthful bodies well into middle age and beyond. Unfortunately, gravity and age won’t allow that to happen. As we get older, our bodies begin to sag, and wrinkles form that cause us to look much older than we actually feel.

Fortunately, plastic surgery can help patients retain their lost figures. In particular, patients are turning to four “lift” procedures that can help patients gain a more aesthetic contour when it comes to their figures.

Top Michigan plastic surgeon Dr. M. Azhar Ali performs all four plastic surgery procedures at Amae Plastic Surgery Center in Bloomfield Hills.

The Hour-Detroit 2016 top doc winner said, “Many patients come to me when they don’t like the sagging of their arms, breasts, thighs or backside. My job is to make them love their bodies once more.”

Here are the procedures Dr. Ali offers to patients who wish to look as young as they feel.

Breast Lift

Gravity, age, childbirth, and weight loss can all contribute to breasts that no longer have that youthful perk to them. And when breasts sag, women are more likely to cover them up rather than show them off. Her self-esteem suffers, and she begins to hate the way she looks in the mirror.

A breast lift procedure can make breasts perkier by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple higher on the breast. In some cases, if the breasts lack volume, breast implants will be used to give the breasts more fullness. This makes the woman look better in clothes and can bring a significant boost to the way she feels about herself.

Arm Lift

When arm tissue begins to relax and sag, a condition begins to form known as “bingo wings.” Not only is this problem unsightly, but it can really compromise a person’s personal hygiene. To help with sagging arms, an arm lift can bring much-needed relief. However, it should be noted that the scar from this procedure often extends the length of the upper arm.

The arm lift procedure can reduce the circumference of your upper arm while improving definition. The level of surgical correction required will depend on how much skin needs to be removed, as well as the patient’s skin quality.

After the procedure, the patient will have firmer, more attractive arms. Some patients even report wearing sleeveless clothes once more after a long time of covering up.

Brazilian Butt Lift

This popular plastic surgery procedure originated in South America but is performed right here at the Amae Plastic Surgery Center. Dr. Ali will first perform a liposuction procedure to extract fat from another area of the patient’s body, such as the thighs or midsection. Dr. Ali will then use that fat to shape and contour the patient’s buttocks. The Brazilian butt lift offers long-lasting results that will make the buttocks look attractive in any dress or pair of jeans.

Thigh Lift

For patients who wish they had smaller and firmer thighs, a thigh lift can deliver the look they expect. Dr. Ali will remove excess skin and fat, which will provide the patient with a smoother and more proportioned look. While fat is removed, patients are warned not to rely on a thigh lift as a weight loss technique. Instead, the patient should attempt to lose weight first, and use a thigh lift to complete the new body transformation.

With these four “lift” procedures, Dr. Ali can help patients feel better about themselves, giving them a new lease on life.

Brazilian Butt Lift

You Don’t Have to Go to Brazil for a Brazilian Butt Lift

Bloomfield Hills, MI – When you don’t like the way your backside looks in dresses and jeans, there’s a plastic surgery procedure you might want to know about called the Brazilian butt lift.

Believe it or not, this procedure doesn’t involve a trip to South America, nor does it require you learning Portuguese. The popular derriere treatment is available right here in the US by top Michigan plastic surgeon Dr. M. Azhar Ali.

Dr. Ali offers the Brazilian butt lift at Amae Plastic Surgery Center in Bloomfield Hills, Detroit, Michigan (also serving the areas of Troy, Farmington Hills, and Clarkston) and according to him, there has been a serious upsurge in requests for the procedure in recent years.

What is the Brazilian Butt Lift?

The Brazilian butt lift originated in South America and involves a gluteal augmentation that provides the buttocks with more fullness and roundness. Using a combination of liposuction and fat grafting, Dr. Ali can give you the bottom you’ve always dreamed of.

You should ask for a Brazilian butt lift if you suffer from buttocks that are flat, asymmetrical, small, uneven or disproportionate.

How Does the Procedure Work?

Dr. Ali will begin the procedure by harvesting fat from other areas of your body, such as your abdomen and thighs, and will use that fat to sculpt, fill and lift your backside region. Since the procedure makes use of liposuction to harvest your own fat, you know you won’t suffer any adverse reactions and the effects are long-lasting.

What’s more, Dr. Ali’s precision and skill allow for minuscule scars that are hardly noticeable, and the results look like they came straight from nature.

Follow-Up Care

You will be given a compression garment to wear for a couple of weeks following the procedure to ensure your buttocks retain the desired shape while healing. You may notice some bruising and swelling around the surgical area, and you should refrain from putting pressure on the area to allow the fat to integrate with your existing tissue. Dr. Ali will give you explicit instructions for at-home care to enhance comfort and expedite the healing process.

When your backside is healed, you’ll be able to wear dresses and jeans with complete confidence. Your buttocks will also appear more youthful, perky, and sensual, all thanks to the Brazilian butt lift by esteemed plastic surgeon Dr. Ali.

Schedule a consultation with Dr. Ali today at Amae Plastic Surgery Center to see what the Brazilian butt lift can do for you.

How Photofacial Treatments Give You the Radiant Complexion You’ve Always Wanted

Bloomfield Hills, MI – If you are unhappy with your skin’s complexion or you have a skin ailment that has been bothering you for some time, there is a revolutionary new cosmetic surgery treatment you’ll certainly want to know about.

The treatment that can give you more youthful, radiant, and blemish-free skin is known as the “Photofacial,” also referred to photorejuvenation, and uses the power of mere light to help you look your very best.

Here is all you need to know about photofacial treatments so you can start planning the procedure that can give you the smooth, even-textured you’ve always wanted.

What Does Photofacial Treatment Consist Of?

When you go to the office of top Detroit plastic surgeon Dr. M. Azhar Ali for a photofacial treatment, you can expect to experience Selective Waveband Technology (SWT) first-hand.

Dr. Ali uses a device called the Frax 1550 Nordlys Hybrid System to administer SWT, which consists of highly-filtered light pulses that break up the upper skin layer and invigorate the skin underneath, bringing your natural radiance to the surface.

The Frax 1550 is technology handcrafted in Denmark and sports 15 FDA-approved treatments.

What is Photofacial Treatment Used For?

You would schedule an appointment with Dr. Ali if you wanted to get rid of damaged or wrinkled skin, or skin that’s marred by stretch marks, scars, acne, or age spots.

You would also come to Dr. Ali for a photofacial treatment if you notice uneven pigmentation, redness, and other skin problems you’ve tried to address yourself to no avail. The treatment can also be used for hand rejuvenation.

How Does a Photofacial Work?

Dr. Ali will ensure you are comfortable; then he will use an apparatus that emits a pulsing light over the affected area. The treatment time varies, but should only last around 15-30 minutes on average.

Is There Any Discomfort or Downtime?

Dr. Ali is one of the first plastic surgeons to offer the Nordlys Hybrid System. He chose the system because it is non-invasive, safe, and virtually painless. There is also minimal downtime.

Do the Treatments Work Right Away?

While every cosmetic surgery case is different, you should see an improvement in your skin color and tone following the very first treatment. If you have a severe case of sun damage or other skin problem, you may require additional treatments to achieve the desired results.

You may also require additional treatments if you tend to be of the fairer skinned variety, as Dr. Ali will be forced to lower the settings on the Frax 1550 to keep from burning your skin.

On average, patients visit Dr. Ali for 3-4 sessions of photofacial treatments before noticing maximum results.

Are the Results Permanent?

The results of a photofacial treatment can be extremely long lasting if you protect your skin from the sun and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen while out and about during the day.
If you don’t care for your skin as Dr. Ali recommends, you may have to return for re-treatment in the near future.

What Results Can Be Expected?

SWT technology uses longer wavelengths of light than the sunlight that reach deep into your skin to stimulate new collagen production. This gives your skin a more youthful and radiant glow.

You will also see an improvement in the texture of your skin. It will be smoother and softer to the touch, allowing you to not only look your best but feel that way too.

How Much is a Photofacial?

While your cost may vary depending on the areas that need to be treated and how many treatments you opt to receive, the average price for a photofacial treatment is around $450.

Do you still have questions about photofacial treatments (photorejuvenation) and how they can give you glowing and more youthful skin? Contact Dr. Ali at Amae Plastic Surgery Center in Bloomfield Hills, Detroit, Michigan to schedule a consultation.

Michigan Plastic Surgeon Dr. M. Azhar Ali Wants to Help You Avoid Bad Plastic Surgery

Bloomfield Hills, MI – As we witness the dawning of 2017, many men and women are looking to turn back the clock with one or more cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures.

Patients have many choices these days when it comes to looking younger. Procedures like the tummy tuck, eyelid surgery, and mommy makeovers have grown in popularity in recent years, and the trend only seems to be increasing.

As more people opt for cosmetic and plastic surgery, competition has become fierce. That is when it becomes a buyer beware market. According to top Michigan plastic surgeon Dr. M. Azhar Ali, many patients try to save money by going to a professional who charges less, and that’s when dangers abound.

“Cosmetic and plastic surgery treatments are not something you want to base on price,” Dr. Ali says. “A doctor may fall within your budget, but do you really want to trust your face and/or body to a professional who charges rock bottom pricing?”

Dr. Ali notes that some doctors will drop fees for services they don’t specialize in, and that’s when patients can really get into trouble.

Scarring, disfigurement, and even death can result when doctors perform treatments they are not qualified to offer.

Instead, Dr. Ali says that you should base your decision of plastic surgeon on the level of training and experience, as well as the doctor’s reputation.

Dr. Ali, for example, enjoys a 99% patient approval rating at Amae Plastic Surgery Center in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, also serving Rochester Hills and Clarkston. He hopes that anyone considering cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery will take the time to conduct the proper research.

Here are the factors Dr. Ali says can help patients everywhere avoid bad plastic surgery at all costs.

How to Choose a Qualified Plastic Surgeon

Plastic Surgeon vs. Cosmetic Surgeon: Any doctor can take a weekend course and call themselves a cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Ali says. With many doctors receiving lower insurance reimbursements than they used to, some are turning to cosmetic surgery to make up costs.

Instead, Dr. Ali advises patients to seek out a plastic surgeon, who can offer both cosmetic and plastic surgery treatments.

A plastic surgeon has not only been through medical school but also several years of plastic surgery training after gaining their MD.

Plastic surgeons must also operate in accredited facilities that follow all local and federal laws related to safety and patient satisfaction.

Certification: When you visit a doctor for a consultation, look at the diplomas decorating the wall, advises Dr. Ali. All those certifications may look impressive, but only qualified plastic surgeons will be board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Another organization of note includes the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Before considering one or more cosmetic or plastic surgery procedures, visit the Board of Medical Specialties that allows you to insert the name of your doctor and location to determine if he or she is, in fact, board-certified.

Recommendations: The best way to find a doctor who offers excellent work is to find a previous and satisfied patient. Your sister-in-law, cousin, or your friend who you recently reconnected with on Facebook, if they mention having work done and you like what you see, find out who their doctor is. Dr. Ali says that you will still want to do your homework on that doctor, but at least a friend, family member or acquaintance can point you in the right direction as far as finding a doctor is concerned.

Ask Plenty of Questions: When you do find a doctor, most will have you set up an appointment for an initial consultation. Dr. Ali suggests that you use this time to ask the doctor about his or her training, qualifications, and patient history.

Ask for Before and Afters: While you’re at it, Dr. Ali says that you should ask to see before and after photos relating to the proposed treatment. The more photos you can look at, the better. Photos can be doctored, however, so don’t solely rely on photo evidence when choosing a cosmetic and/or plastic surgeon.

Dr. Ali has performed thousands of cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures at his Bloomfield Hills plastic surgery center. He says that he likes to see patients come in prepared. It shows they’ve done their homework, and that only a qualified plastic surgeon will do for the procedure(s) they have in mind.

To learn more about plastic surgery from Michigan’s premier plastic surgeon or to schedule a consultation, call Amae Plastic Surgery Center today.

Male Breast reduction surgery

The One Answer to Man Boobs (Gynecomastia) You Should Consider

Detroit, MI – Gynecomastia, a condition otherwise known as man boobs, can wreak havoc on a man’s self-esteem.

A man is supposed to be able to take his shirt off without reservation, whether it’s lounging by the pool on a hot day or playing basketball as a member of the “skins team”. Gyno sufferers simply cannot take their shirts off without feeling terrible about themselves.

While man boobs typically only affects men 45 years of age or older, the problem can also be seen in some younger men. Hormonal imbalance during puberty can lead to the appearance of man boobs or moobs as they are sometimes called. The problem can also develop later in life as a result of disease, a metabolic disorder or as a result of the aging process.

The condition causes fatty tissue and/or the development of glandular tissue that is localized in the breast area and is incredibly common. It is said that male breast enlargement can be seen in 60-90% of newborns and 50-60% of boys in puberty. It can also be seen in 70% of men aged 50 or older.

Treatment for Man Boobs

While exercise, proper diet, and some topical treatments can help to reduce the appearance of man boobs or Gynecomastia, there is no guarantee that the problem will go away completely.

Gynecomastia Surgery

Following a consultation with Detroit male breast reduction surgeon Dr. Ali, you will undergo either liposuction to remove the breast fat or a mastectomy to remove the breast gland tissue. The surgery is safe and offers very little downtime.

During surgery, you will be given a series of limited incisions to remove the fat and/or breast tissue. The incisions will typically be hidden around the areola so as to reduce the appearance of scarring after your body has healed.

Following surgery, you may experience some soreness and discomfort. Dr. Ali will wrap your chest in bandages that are to remain in place for at least a day, maybe longer. Dr. Ali will then give you instructions on how to heal properly. For example, while your chest is healing, you should limit any heavy activity, especially aerobic activity and weight lifting.

After you have properly rested for about a week, you can then resume your regular activities. You should still refrain from heavy lifting for about three to four weeks. Dr. Ali will give you more feedback about your individual case following your male breast reduction surgical procedure.
