The term “facelift” is a bit of a misnomer. Even a full facelift (compared to a mini lift) only fixes skin laxity and aging on the lower half of the face and the neck. By the time most people are good candidates for a full or mini facelift, they are also experiencing signs of aging around the eyes such as sagging, dropping, bags, and excess wrinkles. That’s why many patients at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic...
Does Every Tummy Tuck Need Lipo? The short answer is usually liposuction is almost always performed along with a tummy tuck, but it is not part of a tummy tuck. Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center usually recommends lipo with a tuck because this is an ideal time to further contour the body and remove stubborn pockets of fat without needing an additional incision or surgery. Plus, most people who are good candidates...
There’s only so much you can achieve at the gym when toning, sculpting, and contouring your body. That’s why at Parson Skin Center we offer Emsculpt, the game-changing, non-invasive technology that makes targeted muscles perform 20,000 supramaximal contractions in only 30 minutes. For your body, there’s no difference between Emsculpt and doing 20,000 lunges, crunches, or other strength-training exercise. This means you’ll need to rest, recover, and “feed” those muscles after your Emsculpt session just...
“Having” to shop for new bras, tops, and dresses after a breast augmentation can be either an exciting time or something to dread—it all depends on the patient. However, whether or not you’ll need to update your wardrobe depends on many factors. At Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center, we’ve seen an increase in patients who desire smaller, more natural-looking, teardrop-shaped implants in recent years. Still, even for those who opt for larger,...
When it comes to unwanted hair, which is better: removal or reduction? If you think it’s automatically “best” to have it removed, you also have to consider what that entails! At Parson Skin Center, we exclusively offer laser hair reduction because it is the quickest, most comfortable, and most affordable option. There is no laser that fully and permanently removes all dark, unwanted hairs. That is only achievable through electrolysis, but there is a reason...
A facelift is one of the first facial anti-aging procedures many people consider. It is also one of the most-requested procedures at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center, but in reality a singular plastic surgery is rarely the best solution for a patient. Although the term “facelift” might suggest that it addresses laxity on the entire face, that is not the case. A facelift and mini lift strictly fix skin sagging and signs...
You know Emsculpt as the revolutionary, non-invasive treatment to build muscle fast. It’s one of the most popular treatments at Parson Skin Center, especially for those looking to get back into a workout regimen or take their results to the next level. But did you know it’s also an ideal post-surgical treatment? Emsculpt works by forcing muscles into 20,000 supramaximal contractions in just 30 minutes. It’s the same as doing 20,000 squats, crunches, curls, or...
“How soon will I look ‘normal’ after breast implants?” It’s one of the first questions asked during a consultation at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center. What most patients are really asking is when will they feel comfortable in a bikini, naked, and generally get completely back to their regular life. There is no set timeframe, and settling into your new “you” is a process. In actuality, most people who get breast augmentation...
Combining treatments is typically the best way to maximize results, and pairing the ResurFX laser treatment with microneedling is a magical duo. Parson Skin Center offers both, and while individually they can still yield fantastic results, when you put them together the outcome is unstoppable. First, let’s take a look at ResurFX, the only genuine fractional non-ablative laser. One of the biggest perks of this treatment is that it's a one-and-done treatment—one pass is usually...
The vast majority of people who are good candidates for a tummy tuck will also benefit from liposuction. That’s why these two procedures are typically paired at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center and at surgical centers around the world. However, when you look at these two very different but complementary procedures, it seems clear that a tummy tuck is much more invasive. A full tuck does not just remove excess skin, with...
