Breast Implant Types breast implant options east greenwich RI At the Centre for Aesthetic + Reconstructive Surgery, we offer saline and silicone breast implants. Saline breast implants are FDA approved for women who are at least 18 years old and silicone for those ages 22 and older. The saline option involves a silicone shell that is placed in the breasts and then filled with saline (saltwater) to the desired size. Silicone breast implants have more range—the typical option involves a silicone shell that is pre-filled with a silicone gel. Each type of implant has its benefits and drawbacks, which is another reason why your breast augmentation should be customized to fit your needs. Dr. Doyle offers a full range of breast implants, including round or shaped silicone gel implants. The silicone gel implant involves a highly cohesive gel and partitions. This option comes with several advantages: they are more likely to hold shape and less likely to have visible rippling, to leak, require revision surgery, or develop scar tissue. At the Centre for Aesthetic + Reconstructive Surgery, we offer Sientra® cohesive gel breast implants for all breast augmentation surgeries. With this advanced implant technology, our skilled plastic surgeon can help you improve the overall contour and aesthetics of your body while allowing you to achieve the natural look and feel you desire for your breasts.

• Breast Lift

  Women’s breasts go through many changes, from puberty to pregnancy to getting older. The loss of elasticity that comes with these changes makes it impossible to improve the appearance of your breasts through diet and exercise. Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) is an effective way for women who are unhappy with the drooping or “deflated” appearance of their breasts to restore a more youthful contour. Dr. Andrea Doyle, our board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in breast surgery and understands firsthand how the breasts change over time. If you are interested in a breast lift, please contact the Centre for Aesthetic + Reconstructive Surgery in Providence today at 401.336.3770 to schedule your initial consultation with Dr. Doyle. Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Mastopexy? Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery are women who have experienced a loss of lift and perkiness due to factors such as aging, pregnancy and nursing, weight fluctuations, and genetics. Good candidates need to be healthy, prepared for a surgical procedure, and willing to follow the pre and postoperative directions provided by our office. As with any breast surgery, the best candidates are women who do not plan on having more children, as subsequent pregnancies can undo results. How Long Does a Mastopexy Last? How long results from breast lift surgery last is dependent on several factors including: The level of ptosis that was corrected The surgical technique used to lift the breasts Your age at the time of your procedure Your lifestyle habits, such as smoking Your dietary habits Your exercise habits Genetic factors Some women will experience results for several years. Others for only a few. Before your procedure, we will discuss these factors in greater detail to help you determine how long you can realistically expect your breast lift results to last. Is a Breast Lift Painful? Breast lift surgery is performed under anesthesia to help ensure your optimal comfort. Swelling and mild discomfort are both common following the procedure, but these things can easily be handled through proper aftercare, the use of a compression garment, and oral pain medications. Over-the-counter medications work well for some women, but others may require prescriptions for proper pain management. We will work with you to determine which option will be best for your specific needs. Lasting discomfort from breast lift surgery is not to be expected. Most women can resume normal activities within just a few short weeks without any discomfort. During your follow-up visits, we will assess your recovery and address any issues you may be having to help you have the best experience possible. What Happens During a Breast Lift Procedure? The breast lift procedure involves removing excess skin and repositioning breast tissue, including the areolas (nipples) to a youthful position. Dr. Doyle customizes each plastic surgery to suit your individual needs and answers your questions during your consultation. She will take careful consideration of your condition and determine the best approach for your breast lift surgery. Some women may benefit more from a breast augmentation with breast implants or fat transfer or a combination of both. The procedure itself requires general anesthesia and typically involves an incision around the nipple areolar complex and from the nipple to the fold under the breast. Dr. Doyle will reshape the underlying breast tissue to provide a firmer look and feel, then remove the excess skin to lift the breasts. Will My Breasts Sag After the Breast Lift? Breast lift surgery addresses sagging (ptosis). The procedure lifts sagging skin and tissue to produce a perkier and firmer breast mound. Breast lift surgery corrects sagging, it does not cause it. Benefits of a Breast Lift There are several benefits of a breast lift including: Firmer Breast Appearance: By repositioning the breast tissue, removing excess skin, and improving nipple placement, Dr. Doyle can give you a firmer look and feel, particularly for women who have some deflation due to volume loss. Nipple Improvements: A breast lift improves nipple placement to a more youthful position on the breast. Rise in Self Confidence: Deflated breasts can cause embarrassment and take on a completely different shape than you’re used to. A breast lift can improve the appearance of the breast in and out of clothing. Addresses Some Breast Irritation: Drooping, deflated, or sagging breasts sit low on the chest and can cause skin irritation such as bra chafing. Tuberous Breasts: A breast lift with implants can improve the shape and appearance of tuberous breasts.

• Breast Reduction

  Large, dense breasts can have a tremendous impact on your quality of life and overpower your frame. Many women struggle with macromastia, a condition in which abnormally large breasts cause physical pain and a host of other symptoms. A breast reduction reduces the size and re-contours the breasts to provide a proportionate body shape and eliminate the associated symptoms. Dr. Andrea Doyle, our board-certified female plastic surgeon, understands the importance of feeling comfortable with the size and shape of your breasts. If you are interested in breast reduction, contact the Andrea M Doyle MD Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics in East Greenwich today at 401.336.3770 to schedule your initial consultation. Dr. Doyle specializes in breast procedures and serves patients in the surrounding areas of Rhode Island, including Providence. What Is a Breast Reduction? Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, involves removing excess breast tissue and reshaping the breasts. This procedure intends to alleviate the physical and emotional discomfort that can come from having disproportionately large breasts. Many women experience chronic back and neck pain, shoulder strap grooving, and skin irritation due to the excess weight. Beyond physical symptoms, large breasts can limit your ability to participate in physical activities, affect your posture, and lead to self-consciousness or social discomfort. By reducing the size of your breasts, you should find some relief from these symptoms and improve your quality of life. This procedure can help you feel more comfortable, confident, and free to enjoy everyday activities without pain or restriction. What to Expect During the Procedure The breast reduction procedure typically takes between two and four hours to complete and requires general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. During the procedure, Dr. Doyle will skillfully remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, more proportionate breast size. In addition to reducing the overall volume, Dr. Doyle will raise the nipple (areola) and breasts to a more youthful, lifted position. If necessary, she can also reduce the size of your nipples to create a balanced look with your newly reshaped breasts. We will plan and execute each step meticulously to ensure the best aesthetic results while prioritizing your safety and comfort. Breast Reduction Recovery Breast reduction is an outpatient procedure, and a friend or family member will need to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24-48 hours of your recovery. Most patients can return to work within one to two weeks. If you work a strenuous job that requires high activity or heavy lifting, wait to go back to work until you have been cleared to do so by Dr. Doyle. You will have some soreness, swelling, and bruising and will need to wear a post-operative bra or compression garment for four to six weeks to aid in your recovery. Then, you will have several follow-up appointments with Dr. Doyle after your procedure to make sure you are healing well and satisfied with your breast reduction results. During your initial consultation, she will evaluate your anatomy, go over your goals, and discuss the best approach and technique for your breast surgery. Who Qualifies for a Breast Reduction? Your breasts go through many changes throughout your life. Some women develop large breasts during puberty, while others struggle with a bigger size after pregnancy, nursing, and weight changes. Aging and gravity can also take a toll on your breasts and body shape. Women interested in breast reduction typically suffer from multiple symptoms of macromastia, including: Pain in the neck, shoulders, and back Skin rashes or irritation under the breasts Indentations in the skin from bra straps that cause pain and soreness Skin infection and moisture concerns beneath the breasts Inability to do specific exercises, such as running Uneven (asymmetrical) breast size and shape Unable to find clothing that fits appropriately Self-conscious or unhappy with large breasts A breast reduction addresses these issues by improving the breasts’ positioning, size, and contour and removing the excess weight and skin tissue.

• Male Breast Reduction

  Gynecomastia is a medical condition in which excess fat or tissue in the chest area produces the appearance of breasts in men. By turns embarrassing and emasculating, gynecomastia can detract from the appearance of the entire body, often stubbornly remaining long after other areas have responded to diet and exercise. In fact, diet and exercise, while effective in several areas of the body, may have no impact on gynecomastia. This can be incredibly frustrating. If your efforts at weight loss and body contouring have netted zero results in your chest, it may be time to consider male breast reduction. With this procedure, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andrea Doyle can eliminate stubborn breast tissue, producing a tight and toned appearance and restoring a masculine look to the chest. Schedule your male breast reduction consultation at the Centre for Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery by calling 401.336.3770 today. Located in East Greenwich, we welcome men from all surrounding areas of Rhode Island. Causes of Gynecomastia The cause of gynecomastia is not always known. Hormone fluctuations in youth can cause the condition, but this tends to self-correct over time. Certain medications can cause gynecomastia as well, though these stop contributing once they are discontinued. The same is true of steroids and marijuana use, both of which are linked to the development of breasts in men. In many cases, the cause of gynecomastia is weight gain. When fat alone is produce the appearance of breasts, a simple liposuction procedure may be sufficient to eliminate the problem and restore definition. In cases where glandular tissue is present as well, excising unnecessary tissue may be necessary for optimal results. This will be discussed in greater detail during your time in our care. Taking Care of Yourself Male breast reduction is permanent. Weight gain is still possible, however. The best and most effective way to help reduce your risks for redeveloping gynecomastia is through the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining Your Male Breast Reduction Results You can help maintain your male breast reduction results by: Eating Healthy. Choose whole foods, raw vegetables and fruits, lean proteins, and other healthful foods. Work with a nutritionist if you need help developing a personalized plan that will truly work for you Getting Exercise. The CDC recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise every week. Getting enough exercise will help you maintain your results. Getting more than enough – and adding things like weight training – will help enhance them Ready to schedule your male breast reduction consultation? Dr. Andrea Doyle would love to discuss your gynecomastia treatment options with you during a private one-on-one consultation. Contact our office online or give us a call to get started on achieving your own aesthetic goals. Dr. Doyle is a board-certified Rhode Island plastic surgeon who performs aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries to help change the lives of her patients in positive and empowering ways. Male Breast Reduction Procedure & Recovery The male breast reduction procedure will depend on the underlying cause and composition of your gynecomastia. Fat is removed through liposuction. Tissue is removed surgically. In some cases, both will be necessary. The method of breast reduction used will impact your recovery. In most cases, you will need to take a few days to rest before returning to work. Strenuous activities will need to be avoided for up to four weeks. You should be able to adopt vigorous and demanding chest exercises after about six weeks. This can enhance your male breast reduction results. You may experience some bruising, tenderness, and swelling in the treatment area. These things are natural to the healing response. Swelling can be reduced with compression garments and by taking several walks throughout the day. Discomfort following male breast reduction often responds well to over-the-counter medications. Bruising will subside on its own. You can help reduce risks and improve your recovery experience by carefully following all of Dr. Doyle’s pre and postoperative advice. Your progress will be monitored during your follow-up visits where you will also be given the go-ahead to resume activities as appropriate. Will I Have a Scar? Incisions leave scars. Liposuction scars are tiny and unnoticeable when cared for appropriately. So too are scars from incisions. Proper care will help reduce your risks for thick and visible scars. Be sure to avoid nicotine and blood thinners during your recovery process to encourage proper healing.

• Tummy Tuck

  Diet and exercise can help you accomplish a toned figure, but there are limits to what weight loss can do for your skin. As you shed those pounds, your skin does not necessarily shrink with you. Women who’ve gone through pregnancy or adults who’ve lost a massive amount of weight often struggle with loose, sagging skin in the abdomen. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a body contouring procedure that can give you the slim, firm contour you’ve been working toward but has been unattainable because of excess skin tissue. Our board-certified plastic surgeon specializes in tummy tucks and offers this transformative procedure to our East Greenwich patients and nearby Rhode Island areas. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Andrea Doyle at the Centre for Aesthetic + Reconstructive Surgery today at 401.336.3770. Who Can Benefit from Tummy Tuck Surgery? Abdominoplasty is not a fat reduction procedure or weight loss solution. It is a body contouring surgery designed to restore your midsection after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or sagging skin due to natural aging. When your skin stretches over time, it often lacks the elasticity to tighten up once the body reverts to a smaller size, but Dr. Doyle can refine your body shape and restore your self-confidence. Who Is A Good Candidate For Abdominoplasty? The best candidates for tummy tucks are within 10-15 pounds of their goal weight, in overall good health, nonsmokers, and have realistic expectations for the tummy tuck procedure, recovery, and outcome. If you have loose skin in multiple body areas, an arm lift, thigh lift or combination procedure may be right for you. Full Tummy Tuck or Mini Tummy Tuck The Centre for Aesthetic + Reconstructive Surgery offers the full abdominoplasty and the mini-abdominoplasty. Dr. Doyle will discuss your body goals and take a look at your condition to find the best approach to deliver a well-toned physique. The full tummy tuck addresses the upper and lower abdomen and involves trimming the excess skin tissue and tightening your abdominal muscles for a flatter belly. The mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen and is best for those with less severe skin sagging. Both options can address stretch marks, and Dr. Doyle may recommend using liposuction to give you the best results possible. The Tummy Tuck Procedure Your tummy tuck procedure will vary as this plastic surgery is customized to your unique body and cosmetic goals. You will go under general anesthesia, which means you’ll need a loved one available to take you home the day of your tummy tuck and help you during the first days of recovery. The procedure starts with Dr. Doyle making a horizontal incision a few inches below the belly button which extends from hipbone to hipbone. (A mini tummy tuck requires a smaller incision.) Our board-certified plastic surgeon will proceed by trimming away excess skin tissue and repairing underlying muscles where necessary. She will pull the skin tight to give you a firm, smooth core before closing the incisions and applying post-op dressings and drains. Questions about Tummy Tuck? 401.336.3770 Schedule Consultation Online How Long Does the Tummy Tuck Procedure Take? Tummy tuck surgery may take anywhere from one and a half to two and a half hours, depending on factors unique to the procedure. You may need to plan on three to four hours for the entire experience, including paperwork beforehand, the procedure itself, and release from the surgical center. Dr. Doyle will help you plan accordingly and ensure you are made aware of how long your particular procedure will require from start to finish well before the day of your surgery. How Long Will the Results of a Tummy Tuck Last? Tummy tuck surgery is permanent. Once loose and sagging skin has been removed from the abdomen, it cannot come back. However, skin can stretch again, obscuring your results, if steps are not taken to maintain your new figure. Committing to a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise will be essential for maintaining your tummy tuck results. Keeping your weight consistent helps to prevent the accumulation of excess fat and reduce the risk of sagging skin. It is important to remember that pregnancy following tummy tuck will undo results as well. This procedure is best for women who do not plan on having children in the future. Tummy Tuck Recovery You will notice a slimmer body contour immediately, but you’ll have some redness, bruising, and swelling that take time to heal. These visible signs can take several months to dissipate entirely. Dr. Doyle will go over your post-op instructions, which will include: Wearing surgical dressings and compression garments. Taking at least two weeks off from work. Avoiding high levels of activity and exercise for 1-2 months.

• Liposuction

  As we get older, it is common to struggle with problem areas that seem resistant to change despite regular exercise and a healthy diet. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andrea Doyle performs liposuction at Centre for Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery and can help reduce stubborn fat from your face or body. With personalized liposuction procedures, Dr. Doyle will help you achieve your desired physique at her plastic surgery practice in Rhode Island. Who Is Liposuction Surgery For? Liposuction is a fat reduction procedure for those who have reached a healthy weight but have plateaued with traditional methods and are still struggling with specific areas of excess fat. It is important to note that this surgical procedure neither treats obesity nor is it an alternative to diet and exercise. Liposuction helps reduce fat from common problem areas such as the love handles, abdomen, chest, back, thighs, or the face and neck. A Tummy Tuck vs. Lipo | Centre for Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery What Alternatives Does Dr. Doyle Offer for Liposuction? If your main concern is some excess submental fat that is causing the appearance of a double chin, Dr. Doyle may recommend Kybella™ as a non-surgical option. Once excess fat is removed with liposuction, you may experience some areas of skin laxity. Dr. Doyle can perform a non-surgical laser skin tightening procedure to help further enhance your body’s new contours. Dr. Doyle also offers SmartLipo as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction. SmartLipo uses laser technology to liquefy fat cells before removal, which allows for easier extraction. This advanced technique also stimulates collagen production, which can help tighten the skin in treated areas and reduce the likelihood of sagging after fat removal. The Liposuction Fat Reduction Procedure A typical liposuction procedure takes between one to three hours, depending on the areas being treated. The complexity of the procedure can also influence the duration. During liposuction, Dr. Doyle makes a small incision near the area of unwanted fat. She then inserts a thin tube (known as a cannula) through the incision and into the underlying layer of fat. This cannula is connected to a surgical pump, which will help to safely remove fat cells from your body. Dr. Doyle will gently maneuver the cannula around the problem area to carefully sculpt your desired contour. Liposuction Recovery Liposuction recovery will be different for each patient depending on how much fat is removed from which area. You will be able to return home on the day of your surgery under the care of a loved one. Due to the effects of the general anesthesia used for your surgery, it will be a day or two before it is safe for you to drive. Some bruising and swelling are to be expected, but this will fade over the following weeks. You should be able to return to work within a week after your liposuction treatment, but you will need to avoid higher levels of activity or exercise for about six weeks. Liposuction Results Your liposuction procedure with Dr. Doyle will help you get the slimmer and healthier-looking figure you have been wanting. As soon as your surgery is complete, you will notice an immediate slimming of your treated area. Our patients are often thrilled when they see their results in the mirror and cannot wait to try on new clothes or show off their new figure at the beach, pool, or with their partners. In addition to beautiful outcomes, liposuction often provides men and women with life-changing boosts in self-confidence so they can feel more confident in their daily lives. With continued healthy lifestyle habits, patients can continue to enjoy the results of their liposuction for many years to come. Why Choose Dr. Andrea Doyle?

• Arm Lift

  An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the under portion of the arm, from the underarm region to the elbow. Ideal for women and men whose triceps are obscured by loose, flabby, sagging skin, arm lift surgery can increase comfort, improve clothing options, and help produce a better defined upper arm. Often performed alone, this procedure may be included in post-weight loss body lift and mommy makeover procedures as well. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your arms, brachioplasty may be among the safest and most effective options for creating optimal contours. Please call the Center for Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery at 401.336.3770 to schedule a consultation today. We serve East Greenwich and all surrounding areas of Rhode Island. Arm Lift Candidates Arm lift surgery is performed to: Reduce excess sagging skin Reduce stubborn pockets of fat Tighten and smooth underlying supportive tissue Define the shape of the upper arm The best candidates for this procedure are nonsmokers who are in good health and are prepared for a surgical procedure. Arm lift surgery requires a recovery period during which some activities will need to be limited. The best candidates are able to take this time to relax and heal. Good candidates will also need to have realistic expectations. Arm lift surgery can trim and tone the upper arms, but it may not create the exact look you want. During your initial consultation, we will listen to your concerns, assess the amount of skin and fat that will need to be removed, and provide honest information about what you can expect from your procedure. The Arm Lift Procedure During arm lift surgery, excess skin and stubborn fat are removed from the upper arm. There are several incision options to accomplish this. The best one for your needs will be dependent on the amount of skin and fat that is being removed. Fat is removed using liposuction. Board-certified Rhode Island plastic surgeon Dr. Andrea Doyle utilizes advanced liposuction techniques to produce reliable results while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissue. Once the fat has been eliminated and underlying tissue has been lifted and smoothed, the overlying skin is tightened to bring the arm into ideal proportions. Arm Lift Recovery Recovery from an arm lift can take six to eight weeks. There will be restrictions on your activities for the first two weeks, but most people are able to resume working within seven to fourteen days. Aerobic exercise and weight training should be avoided for at least six weeks and not resumed until you have been given the go-ahead by Dr. Doyle. It is important during recovery that you maintain all follow-up visits and carefully follow all post-operative directions. It is during your follow-up visits that Dr. Doyle can determine if you are ready to resume more demanding activities. You may need to wear a compression garment and adopt recovery habits, such as proper diet and gentle exercise, that can help reduce swelling, improve blood flow, and make recovery much more rewarding. These things will be discussed in greater detail during your initial consultation. Maintaining Your Results Excess skin and fat on the upper arms are often a result of weight gain as we age. The condition can be heightened by a lack of exercise targeting the muscles on the upper arm. After fat has been removed and skin tightened, it will be important that you take steps to maintain your results. This will include proper diet and exercise, including weight training and cardio, which can also be used to enhance results if you desire. If you have traditionally struggled with food choices and are not certain which exercises will be best, it can be very helpful to work with a nutritionist and personal trainer to develop a plan that will work for you. Arm lift surgery is as permanent as you make it. Your actions will play a direct role in the final and lasting appearance of your procedure.

• Thigh Lift

  A thigh lift reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin, and in some cases fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body. Often used alone to sculpt and tone the legs, thigh lift surgery is also common in larger body lift procedures and may be particularly useful after significant weight loss. If loose skin and stubborn fat deposits are obscuring the contours of your upper legs, Dr. Doyle can help. Call Andrea M Doyle MD Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics at 401.336.3770 to schedule a consultation today. Located in East Greenwich, our board-certified plastic surgeon welcomes patients from all surrounding areas of Rhode Island. Types of Thigh Lift Surgery There are several different types of thigh lift surgery, each one ideally suited to address specific concerns. The best way to learn which of these options is best for your needs is through a private and confidential consultation with Dr. Doyle. During this visit, she will carefully examine your areas of concern and provide you with useful information about your options. Common thigh lift techniques include: Medial Thigh Lift. Also known as an inner thigh lift, this technique is used to address skin laxity and fat accumulations in the upper, inner thighs Lateral Thigh Lift. Also known as an outer thigh lift, this technique addresses excess skin and stubborn fat deposits on the outside of the thighs Posterior Thigh Lift. Targeting the area in between the knees and the hips, with a focus on the buttocks, this technique lifts sagging skin and removes unwanted fat from the back of the thighs Vertical Thigh Lift. This technique is used to address skin laxity and stubborn fat deposits in the lower and mid-thigh along with the inner and outer thighs Spiral Thigh Lift. The newest thigh lift technique, a spiral thigh lift focuses on the entire upper leg, addressing loose, sagging skin along with excess fat on the inner, outer, lower, mid, and backside of the thighs A spiral thigh lift will combine medial, lateral, posterior, and vertical options for complete transformation. Other combinations are possible as well. These can be discussed depending on your specific desires. Mini Thigh Lift A Mini thigh lift focuses on the upper 1/3rd of the thigh. Unlike a complete medial thigh lift, this technique may be better for men and women with only minor skin laxity and is ideally suited for people with a BMI below 30. During your initial consultation, Dr. Doyle will discuss all of your options to help you determine which technique is best for your needs. Good Thigh Lift Candidates The best candidates for thigh lift surgery are women and men who are: Physically and emotionally prepared for a surgical procedure Able to take time to rest following surgery Realistic in their expectations It is best to be close to your goal weight when you undergo a thigh lift or any other body contouring procedure. While these treatments can help to sculpt and tone the frame, they are not intended to assist with weight loss. Efforts to have them do so can be by turns dangerous and terribly dissatisfying. Thigh Lift Recovery Thigh lift surgery requires a recovery period of seven to ten days before work and similarly non-demanding tasks can be resumed. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are possible during this time. Taking proper care of yourself, which includes getting plenty of rest, will help prevent complications and hasten your recovery. Full recovery from thigh lift surgery can take four to six weeks, with some restrictions on more advanced activities lasting up to eight in certain cases. How quickly you can resume normal activities will depend on your body’s natural healing abilities and how well you follow pre and postoperative directions. Following these directions will also play a role in the final appearance of your procedure, making it very important that you are consistent in your efforts to follow the directions provided by Dr. Doyle.

• Eyelid Lift

  Dr. Andrea Doyle performs eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) at her Rhode Island plastic surgery practice for men and women unhappy with sagging of the upper eyelids or puffiness beneath the eyes. They say that the eyes can tell a lot about a person, so if you are experiencing these signs of aging, your eyes may not only be giving away your age—but possibly adding a few additional years. Dr. Doyle is able to restore a youthful and vibrant appearance with personalized eyelid lift surgeries for her patients. Who is eyelid rejuvenation for? An eyelid lift is most commonly performed to treat aging of the upper or lower lids. As you get older, the skin of the upper eyelids can begin to droop or sag, and you may begin to experience puffiness beneath the eyes. These problems can significantly age your appearance or have you looking constantly tired or unhappy. Upper eyelid surgery can also be used to correct congenital disorders, such as ptosis, which causes an abnormal drooping of the lid. This problem can affect one or both eyelids and can be improved with an eyelid lift. Depending on your situation, Dr. Doyle may recommend combining your eyelid surgery with additional procedures to address signs of aging in other areas of the face. Most commonly, patients combine their eyelid lifts with a facelift or neck lift. The eyelid surgery procedure Dr. Doyle is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. With years of experience in facial plastic surgery and a keen aesthetic eye, Dr. Doyle is known for providing patients with youthful and natural-looking outcomes through eyelid surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Doyle will help determine whether you will need both upper and lower blepharoplasty, or just one of the two to achieve your aesthetic goals. To reduce the sagging of the upper eyelid, Dr. Doyle will make a small incision to trim away any excess skin and lift the eyelids for a youthful and well-rested look. Puffiness of the lower eyelids is treated by removing excess fat or tissue that is causing a puffy or swollen appearance. Excess skin may also be removed to reduce any wrinkling. Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Treatment? Good candidates for eyelid surgery are generally healthy, prepared for a surgical procedure and recovery period, and willing to closely follow all of the pre and postoperative directions provided by our office. The best candidates for blepharoplasty are nonsmokers. If you use a tobacco product, including e-cigarettes, you will need to quit at least six weeks before surgery. Some medications and supplements will need to be avoided in the days leading up to surgery as well. During your initial consultation, we will carefully review your medical history, assess your areas of concern, and help you determine if you are a good candidate. What Conditions Can My Eyelid Lift Fix? Blepharoplasty can fix: Droopy Upper Lids Wrinkles on Upper and Lower Lids Dark, Puffy Skin Underneath the Eyes Blepharoplasty can produce a more alert and attractive appearance to the eyes. Lifting the upper lids may also help to improve vision in some patients. What Can be Combined With an Eyelid Lift? Eyelid lift surgery can produce remarkable results on its own, but is also commonly combined with a forehead lift, to lift drooping eyebrows and eliminate creases from the brow, and facelift surgery, to redefine the jawline and give gentle lift to sagging facial skin. Crow’s feet are not removed through blepharoplasty. BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® are both good solutions for this issue. Hollowness underneath the eyes or in surrounding areas, such as the cheeks, may also respond well to non-surgical options, such as dermal fillers. Everyone has different needs. The best way to learn which combination of procedures will be best for you is through a one-on-one consultation at our comfortable East Greenwich office. What is Aftercare for an Eyelid Lift? After your procedure, you will need to take a few days to rest. You will also need to avoid blood thinners and vasoconstrictors, and to be sure to take any medications, including eye drops and ointments, prescribed by our office. You will need to keep incisions dry and clean, and to sleep with your head elevated for the first few weeks after surgery. You will also need to avoid wearing contact lenses for around 10 to 14 days. Recovery from eyelid surgery can take a few weeks, but most people can resume normal activities within five to seven days. During your follow-up visits, Dr. Doyle will assess your progress and help you determine when it is safe to resume more demanding tasks.

• Dermal Fillers

  Aging is a fact of life, and it comes with many skin changes, from volume loss to deep lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are an excellent non-surgical way to combat signs of aging and are often called a “liquid facelift.” At the Centre for Aesthetic + Reconstructive Surgery, we offer a variety of dermal fillers to restore areas of the face that have lost volume as well as lines and wrinkles around the mouth, nose, and in the lips. If you struggle with facial volume loss or moderate to severe lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers might be a great option for you. Schedule your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Andrea Doyle in East Greenwich today at 401.336.3770 to see which dermal filler will best achieve your desired results. Your Dermal Filler Options Each dermal filler is created to replenish and provide a youthful look to specific areas of the face. During your initial consultation, Dr. Doyle will discuss your cosmetic goals and evaluate the lines, wrinkles, folds, and shallow regions of your face to customize your dermal filler treatment. The goal is to provide natural-looking results that do not look overdone. Most dermal fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid, which is a molecule already produced by your body, but production decreases with age. Hyaluronic acid binds to moisture. It helps maintain plump, hydrated skin, and as it is a substance found naturally in the human body, there is little to no risk of complications or allergic reactions. Dr. Doyle will determine the best dermal filler for your cosmetic concerns, as well as the number of syringes needed and the specific injectable location to achieve your desired outcome. Dermal fillers we offer at the Centre for Aesthetic + Reconstructive Surgery include: Juvéderm® Dermal Fillers: Great for smoothing nasolabial folds, which are the lines around the mouth and nose as well as restoring lost volume to the cheeks and lips. Restylane® Dermal Fillers: The Restylane® filler family offers a variety of benefits from smoothing “marionette lines” that extend from the sides of the mouth toward the chin to restoring volume to the cheeks, eyes, and mouth corners. The products include Restylane Lyft®, Restylane® Refyne, Restylane Defyne® (best for laugh lines), and Restylane Silk®. Sculptra®: This filler is made of poly-L-lactic acid, which is biocompatible and replaces the facial fat loss that occurs with age. Sculptra® is best for shallow contours of the cheeks and eyes and marionette lines. How Long Do Dermal Filler Treatments Take? These treatments typically take less than an hour, require no downtime, and offer immediate, natural-looking results. Repeat sessions are required to maintain results. Some dermal filler treatments last a year or longer, while others last three to six months. Dermal filler treatments should only be administered by a certified medical professional such as our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Andrea Doyle. INTRODUCING REVANCE RHA REDENSITY + DAXXIFY A new and long-awaited hyaluronic acid filler has arrived in our practice, and we are excited to introduce RHA Redensity to our patients. What is RHA Redensity? Redensity is an injectable hyaluronic acid dermal filler, similar in its makeup to fillers like Restylane and Juvederm. Redensity is part of the RHA family, with RHA standing for “Resilient Hyaluronic Acid.” The RHA collection of dermal fillers includes particularly dynamic fillers like RHA 2, RHA3, and RHA4, which shine in high-movement areas like the face. Redensity is the softest of the RHA fillers available in the United States, making it a good choice for superficial treatment of fine lines around the lips and the thin and delicate tissues around the eyes. What Causes Skin Aging? Youthful skin is typically associated with supple volume and beautiful skin tone and texture. There are two proteins found in your skin that promote youthful, taut skin: collagen and elastin. Collagen works to provide supple volume while elastin gives your skin the ability to “bounce back” from repeated facial expressions. That support system under your skin slows down as you get older, which begins around the age of 25. The decrease in these proteins cause changes in the distribution of fat in the face such as hollow or sunken cheeks and “jowling” where fat accumulates around the jaw. Certain factors and lifestyle habits can accelerate these changes, such as extreme exercise and yo-yo dieting that cause sudden weight loss. Men and women that are very thin often struggle with significant facial volume loss because they had little fat, to begin with. Sun exposure contributes to the loss of collagen and elastin, and excessive exposure accelerates the aging process.

• PDO Thread Lift

  Loose and sagging skin, jowls, and other effects of aging are often unavoidable. In some cases, these issues can be delayed or enhanced through advanced skincare techniques, but even the most diligent among us cannot avoid all of the aesthetic issues that come with aging. PDO thread lift is a nonsurgical facial and neck rejuvenation treatment that can help lift and tighten the skin for a more toned and appealing look. During your initial consultation, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andrea Doyle will listen to your concerns. Dr. Doyle will also fully assess your problem areas to help you determine if a PDO thread lift is the right fit for your needs. Please call the Andrea M Doyle MD Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics at 401.336.3770 to schedule your consultation today. Located in East Greenwich, we welcome men and women from all surrounding areas of Rhode Island and Connecticut. How Does a PDO Thread Lift Work? A PDO thread lift helps to improve the appearance of the skin in two ways: Small threads are used to gently lift subcutaneous tissue Micro-injuries caused by the threads stimulate collagen production The stimulation and production of collagen in the body helps the PDO thread lift provide lasting results. Polydioxanone (PDO) is an absorbable and flexible polymer. Over a period of about six months, threads made from this material will simply dissolve. The increased collagen production spurred by the threads will, however, continue to produce noticeable results – sometimes for several years. PDO Thread Lift East Greenwich RI What can PDO Thread Lift Treat? A PDO thread lift can be used to address skin laxity and folds in the lower face and jaw. The procedure is very effective on: Jowls Nasolabial folds Fine lines and wrinkles A PDO thread lift will not address issues around the eyes, but also in between the eyebrows, and throughout the forehead. There are several surgical and nonsurgical rejuvenation options that can be used to correct these signs of aging,and can be used in combination with a thread lift or on their own. What is the PDO Thread Lift Procedure? The PDO thread lift procedure is performed under localized anesthetic to ensure maximum comfort. While it is nonsurgical, (requires no incisions) thread lift will involve pulling sutures through the skin. The location of every suture is carefully planned and each location marked before the procedure begins to help ensure consistent and appealing results. After you have been made comfortable and the precise location of each thread has been determined, PDO threads are inserted with a special needle before being drawn back out in an action that gathers and lifts underlying tissue. This action also stimulates the production of collagen, which provides structural support long after the sutures have been absorbed. PDO threads come in a variety of textures, allowing the procedure to be customized to meet the exact needs of the individual. Thread Lift Recovery & Aftercare Recovery from a PDO thread lift is very short because the treatment is minimally invasive. Some redness and discomfort may be present throughout the treatment area for one to two weeks, but going back to work and resuming other non strenuous activities is typically possible within just one day. Advanced exercises may need to be avoided for two to three weeks, depending on your comfort level. Most people are able to resume normal activities within a week. It is also important to avoid moisturizers on your face, saunas, sleeping on your side, and scrubbing or washing your face intensely. Doing any of these can irritate your skin and have a negative affect on your thread lift results. Who is a Good PDO Thread Lift Candidate? PDO thread lift improves the appearance of the jowls and lower face. It is ideal for men and women who are experiencing mild to moderate signs of aging. Good PDO candidates must be nonsmokers who are willing to go without blood thinning herbs, supplements, and over-the-counter medications for a period of time before and after the procedure. Some prescription medications may interfere with candidacy as well, making it important that you provide your plastic surgeon with a full list of medications you are taking. As a nonsurgical treatment, the PDO thread lift is safe and effective for a large number of people. The best way to learn if you are among them is through a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. Dr. Doyle will listen to all of your concerns, carefully evaluate the condition of your skin, and guide you towards the best solution for your needs. Contact Us Today! At The Centre for Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery in East Greenwich, RI, we pride ourselves on our quality of service and care.

For purposes of hair reduction, up to 80% of hair growth in a treated area may be removed with a series of IPL treatments. Our IPL technology delivers specific wavelengths with large spot sizes, superior contact cooling, and smooth pulse technology for clients of all skin types, hair colors, and finer hair.
