Summer Confidence in Colorado Springs

Moms, summer will be here before you know it! And this summer, it’s time to embrace the season with confidence. For many Moms, summer means swimsuits, shorts, and sleeveless tops—and with that, the desire to feel comfortable and confident in your own skin.

Procedures like Arm Liposuction or Cankle Liposuction under local anesthesia are designed to help you achieve a more contoured and proportionate look, perfect for showing off your summer wardrobe.

Arm Liposuction targets stubborn fat in the upper arms, creating a slimmer and more defined appearance. Cankle liposuction, on the other hand, focuses on the lower legs, enhancing their shape and contour. Both procedures can be performed discreetly in the comfort of a private medical office without the need for general anesthesia, offering you a safe and comfortable experience with minimal downtime. As a Mom, you’re always on the go, and these quick recovery times mean you won’t miss out on summer fun with your family.

As a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon and Mom, I understand the unique challenges Moms face when it comes to self-confidence and body image. My goal is to provide results that look natural and help you feel like the best version of yourself. Whether you’re heading to the beach, attending summer events, or simply enjoying time outdoors, these procedures can help you feel more confident and radiant.

Trust a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon who understands what it’s like to juggle family, work, and personal goals. From Harvard to Hollywood, I have trained and honed my surgical skills to help bring out the very best physique, for all those Moms who have sacrificed—mind, body, and spirit—for their children.

Summer is the season for self-expression and embracing your beauty. If you’ve been considering a cosmetic enhancement, now is the perfect time to take the next step. Schedule a consultation with me, Dr. Millicent Geers, to learn more about Arm Liposuction, Cankle Liposuction, or other procedures that can help you feel confident all season long. Let’s make this summer your most beautiful and self-assured yet.

From one Mom to another, I see you and carry on smartly.

Avoid bad scarring after plastic surgery

Avoid bad scarring after plastic surgery

Improving your body contour while minimizing the appearance of scars is the goal of all Plastic Surgery. How your scars will turn out is in part related to how your Plastic Surgeon sutures your incisions but more so how you take care of the scars after surgery.

Scarring after any type of surgery, including Plastic Surgery, is normal and expected. Your body produces collagen at your incision site to close the wound. Usually this goes as expected. However, your body’s natural healing process can sometimes create excess collagen, causing raised or discolored scars.

Scar Treatment

Silicone scar treatment is a plastic surgery hack for improving the appearance of scars. The two forms are sheeting or gel. Silicone sheeting is a special bandage you place over your scar. Silicone gel is a twice-daily application to your scar. The form of silicone treatment that is best for you will be based on the location of your scar, the length of your car, and your lifestyle.

The duration of scar treatment varies based on your scar and how your body responds. Scars continue to mature and change for up to TWO years after the initial incision. Generally, it’s recommended you use it consistently for several months and even up to two years for best results. While this is difficult for most people to do consistently, the reward is a nearly imperceptible scar. Think of using silicone therapy like wearing braces to straighten your teeth – it takes time and patience, but it will make a big difference in the long run.

So, to sum it up, silicone scar treatment is a non-invasive way to improve the appearance of scars by flattening and fading them over time. And the longer you use it, the better the results may be! Colorado Springs Board-Certified Female Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Millicent Geers provides all of her patients with scar treatment starting approximately 3 weeks after surgery. This scar treatment is included as part of your postoperative care.

Choosing your Breast Implant Size

The Rice Test is a Plastic Surgery hack that can help you avoid additional breast surgery due to dissatisfaction with your initial implant size. A desire to change breast implant size is the #1 reason for another operation when it comes to Breast Augmentation.

All right, Goldilocks! There are 3 possibilities when it comes to selecting your breast implant size:

Too big
Too small
Just right

So how do you avoid a size that’s too big or too small for your liking?

To avoid a breast implant size that is either too big or too small, you need to take your natural dimensions into consideration. The width of your breasts and your starting breast size will determine what additional volume you want and how wide your implant will be for that given volume. You don’t want a rock in a sock. You also don’t want an implant so wide, it gets in the way of your arms. Neither are a good look.

So how does the Rice Test help you avoid the wrong implant size?

The Rice Test is an inexpensive Plastic Surgery hack that works. Buy a cheap 1 lb. box or bag of rice, a pair of pantyhose, and some rubber bands. You’ll also need a bra that is your new goal bra size. Now:

Cut the pantyhose just above the ankles to make two pantyhose “baggies.”
Add a 1/2 cup of dry rice to the baggie and tie it off with a rubber band leaving a little wiggle room.
Mold the rice bag to accommodate your existing breast tissue and place it in the bra.
Now put on a tight tank top or t-shirt to check out your new silhouette.
Add and subtract rice until you reach your desired size. Make a note of the rice volume.

Remember, the Rice Test is just an approximation, but now you’ll be better able to let your Plastic Surgeon know the size you desire.

Yes, there are 3-D simulators that can virtually “visualize” your new look, but Board-Certified Female Plastic Surgeon Dr. Millicent Geers believes there’s nothing like actually feeling and carrying the weight in your bra. Once you have booked your Implant Breast Augmentation Surgery with Dr. Geers, in order to help you decide on the best implant size for you, you will have the opportunity to try on silicone implant sizers that are specially made to accommodate your existing breast tissue. Fitted t-shirts, tank tops, and bras to wear over the sizers are also provided so that you can adjust your size to your desire and admire your new look!

To book your personalized Colorado Springs Breast Augmentation Consult with Harvard-, Duke-, and Northwestern-educated Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Millicent Geers, please call: 719-633-5255.

Plastic Surgery Tip: Waterproof Mattress Protector

A waterproof mattress protector is a Plastic Surgery hack that can save you a lot of hassle, time, and money! Bloody drainage from your incisions after Plastic Surgery can ruin your furniture, car seats, bedsheets, and mattress. Liposuction is the biggest offender when it comes to post-surgical bloody drainage. This drainage is expected and is normal. You can avoid ruining your upholstery, mattress, and bedsheets from drainage stains with a mattress protector. Simply put the mattress cover over the items you want to protect, just throw it in the wash daily to clean it until you no longer have drainage.

My favorite waterproof mattress protector is made by Avocado* . Why?

100% Organic cotton and feels so soft against your skin.
Avocado’s Organic Waterproof Mattress Protector is breathable
There’s no annoying crinkling sounds when you move
You won’t get overheated
Perhaps most importantly — it works!

In summary, purchasing a waterproof mattress protector should be part of your Plastic Surgery preparation. Carry on smartly.

How you can avoid ruining your plastic surgery results.

Excessive swelling after plastic surgery can ruin your plastic surgery results

If your skin stays stretched out from too much swelling, even if your Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon performed the best surgery in the world, your result will not be as good. Specifically, your result won’t be as tight or taut, as it could have been. So, how can you avoid excessive postoperative swelling (also known as postoperative edema)?

How you can reduce swelling

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) or Lymphatic Massage after plastic surgery is a plastic surgery hack that reduces swelling. How, you may ask.

Let’s use a sponge as an example. After your surgery, fluid collects in the cells of your treatment area. Think of a sponge soaking up water. With compressive kneading movements, manual lymphatic drainage pushes this fluid out of the sponge (your treatment area cells), into the sink, down the drain, and into the pipes (your lymphatic vessels). These pipes then drain into other pipes (your bloodstream) that eventually empty into a reservoir (your kidneys) and you eventually pee this fluid out.

In addition to reducing post-surgical swelling, Manual Lymphatic Drainage:

Alleviates discomfort and soreness
Reduces bruising and discoloration
Enhances immune function
Speeds up the healing process

Lymphatic massage after Plastic Surgery is especially useful after Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Arm Lift, and Thigh Lift procedures.

Booking your Manual Lymphatic Drainage sessions should be part of your plastic surgery preparation. We have recommendations for excellent Manual Lymphatic Drainage Specialists in the Colorado Springs area.

Plastic Surgery: You get what you pay for.

Liposuction-Plastic Surgery Flying Horse Medical Center

Plastic Surgery: You get what you pay for.

At factory-like, revolving door, turnstile-type Plastic Surgery offices where you are treated as a number and not a person, often Non-Physician “Surgeon Substitutes” perform part of your surgery to help maximize profits. In these scenarios, the Plastic Surgeon performs some aspects of your procedure and then moves on to the next surgical patient before your procedure is completed. A Non-Physician “Surgeon Substitute” is then left to finish up your case. Using this tactic, the Plastic Surgeon can stuff in more surgeries during the day, sacrificing quality for quantity.

What could possibly go wrong?

Maiming, botching, and death. These factory-like, revolving door, turnstile-type plastic surgery offices can offer you bargain-basement pricing because, just like with diamonds, designer clothing, and designer purses, counterfeits (unqualified Surgeon Substitutes) are cheaper than the real deal.

This lackadaisical approach to patient care and patient safety often starts at the consultation, where the Plastic Surgeon is substituted with a non-medical employee who evaluates your body, makes a diagnosis, and then creates the surgical plan. Sometimes you won’t even meet the Surgeon or know which Surgeon will be performing your surgery until the day of your surgery. How does this make sense?

If you want to save money, do so when deciding between household cleaning items or workout attire, but not when it comes to your one and only body. Skill, experience, and a track record of satisfied patients are more important than a low price. Before you consent to surgery, ask your Surgeon if s/he will have any assistants, and if so, what exactly are their qualifications and which portion of your procedure are they performing. You only get one body. Protect it.

Remember, ain’t nothing like the real thing.

Carry on smartly.

Plastic Surgeon Imitators to Avoid

In a prior blog, Dr. Geers promised to provide you with a list of Plastic Surgeon Imitators/Knockoffs/Wannabes whom you should avoid when it comes to protecting yourself or anyone you love and cherish. There are a multitude of Non-Plastic Surgeons with no qualms about using you as a surgical guinea pig. They take weekend courses taught by other Non-Plastic Surgeons and some, as seen on at least one website have, “educated” themselves about Cosmetic Plastic Surgery. Refer to this blog at any time if you have any questions about who exactly should NOT be performing your Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation with Implants, Natural Breast Augmentation/Breast Augmentation with Fat, Liposuction, Breast Reduction, or any other Plastic Surgery that can have serious complications.

Please note that Plastic Surgeon Imposters may be “Board Certified,” but that certification is not in the specialty of PLASTIC SURGERY!

Imitators to Avoid

The following Physicians and non-physicians do NOT have the formal training to be performing Plastic Surgery on your body (or the body of anyone you cherish). Sadly, this list is not exhaustive.

Obstetricians
Gynecologists
Family Medicine Physicians
Internal Medicine Physicians
Emergency Room Physicians
Dentists
General Surgeons
Urologists
Pathologists
Radiologists
Nurses
Nurse Practitioners
Physician Assistants
Medical Assistants
Office Managers
Anyone who may play a doctor on television*
Anyone who is NOT a surgeon and who is also not BOARD ELIGIBLE or BOARD CERTIFIED in PLASTIC SURGERY

Disclaimer: While to Dr. Geers’ knowledge, no one who has acted as a doctor on television has posed as a Plastic Surgeon, they were included in the list because the thought of having one of them perform your Plastic Surgery procedure is as ridiculous as having any of the other medical personnel who are not Plastic Surgeons perform your surgery.

Carry on smartly.
