As people become tired of shaving, waxing, threading, or plucking their body and facial hair, they look for the best alternative for hair removal. At A New You Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa, located in the Chicagoland area, we are often asked about laser hair removal.

Fat grafting, or fat transfer, is becoming a more popular option for breast augmentation. But is it a good one? It could be! Fat grafting breast augmentation is 100% natural, so you won’t have to worry about any of the risks typically associated with implants, but there are many factors to consider. Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions at our Chicagoland plastic surgery offices:
Am I A Candidate For Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a popular body contouring procedure that can create a slim waistline, and volumize the buttock. The medical description is liposuction with fat grafting to the buttock. In this procedure, the surgeon removes fat from multiple areas such as the bra roll, waist, hip, and abdomen. Afterwards, the fat is purified by removing excess water and oil. Next, the fat is injected into the buttock to enhance the shape and projection.
Here are some of the questions I’m most asked about in regard to BBL:
1. When I researched this procedure, I read about negative news on BBL. Is this […]
My Chicago area breast augmentation patients often ask me about the difference between saline breast implants and what are often called “silicone implants.” In truth, the difference is what’s inside the implant, since both saline and silicone breast implants have a silicone outer shell.
Saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt water, called saline, while silicone breast implants are filled with a gel. Because saline implants are packaged in a deflated form, they can be adjusted for size based on the amount of sterile saline added to them. In comparison, silicone implants come prefilled, so their volume and size cannot […]
Does your skin need a pick-me-up? If you think so, you may want to consider microneedling as it is a terrific way to improve your skin texture and appearance with results that last.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that promotes the stimulation of collagen production in the skin. Microneedling works by wounding the skin with tiny, sterilized needles. When your skin is wounded, the body’s natural defense is to make more collagen and elastin. This new collagen and elastin leaves you looking refreshed and revitalized.
What Does Microneedling Do?
The new collagen and elastin that develops to the wound […]
What Is The Internal Bra?
The internal bra is a layman’s term to describe the GalaFLEX mesh which may be used in breast surgery. The GalaFLEX mesh is made out of a material called P4HB. This material is similar to suture material, and it dissolves over time, but before dissolving it promotes collagen to form around it. This collagen remains to ultimately improve the strength of soft tissues. The unique property of this mesh is that it’s shaped similar to the underwire of a bra cup, hence it gets the name internal bra.
Is The Internal Bra Safe And FDA Approved?
The mesh […]
