Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Milind K. Ambe, MD, is an ABPS board-certified plastic surgeon.  To schedule an appointment for Orange County plastic surgery, contact Dr. Ambe’s office at (949) 759-5539.

In order to receive ABPS certification, a plastic surgeon must meet the criteria instituted by ABPS. First, he or she is required to have graduated from an ABPS recognized and accredited medical school. Second, the plastic surgeon needs to have completed a minimum of five years residency. Third, ABPS surgeons must have approximately three years of general surgery experience which displays their knowledge of the human form and functions beyond academics and residency. Forth, they must practice as a plastic surgeon for a minimum of two years. Lastly, successful completion of written and oral examinations is expected in order to finalize certification.

ABPS is the only board certification for plastic surgeons in Orange County and in the United States. Therefore, if a surgeon states they are certified but cannot garner any documentation of their affiliation, then you should not choose this surgeon for your procedure. There are two reasons it is dangerous to pursue a cosmetic procedure with someone who is not board certified. First, there is no assurance of the level of their skills or tools for cosmetic procedures; therefore, you are gambling with the results of the procedure. Second, their training and qualifications are unknown; therefore, it is also unknown how well they can handle an emergency during your procedure.

Plastic surgery is a controversial issue in that U.S. Americans either support the idea of cosmetic surgery or disapprove of making changes to their bodies. A recent survey shows that over half of Americans support an individual’s right to plastic surgery.  If you fall in the majority and are interested in cosmetic surgery, contact Newport Beach Plastic Surgery to schedule a consultation for your Orange County plastic surgery procedure.

According to a February 2011 survey, more than half of all American citizens (which is to say roughly 51 percent) are comfortable with the idea of having plastic surgery and would not have a problem if someone in their life had a cosmetic procedure done on their face or body. This report shows an increase of three percent in the approval rating since 2009.

There does not even seem to be a certain demographic of plastic surgery supporters.  People of all classes are comfortable with such procedures.  The opinions and viewpoints of Americans regarding plastic surgery are not affected by their gender or marital status either. Men and women alike, regardless of whether they are single, married, divorced or widowed see plastic surgery as a viable option to looking better and slowing the signs of the aging process. More and more people are seeing the many benefits to getting a nip or a tuck somewhere on their physique. For many people a cosmetic surgery procedure can be life changing.

If you are in Orange County, plastic surgery is a safe, easy procedure at Newport Beach Plastic Surgery. Milind K. Ambe MD is one such plastic surgeon who can offer you plastic surgical procedures that will enhance and improve upon your physical features. An estimated 53 percent of women and 49 percent of men approve of having cosmetic surgery. If you are unhappy with an aspect of your appearance then the time has come to take action and to take control of your life.

When it comes to cosmetic procedures, breast augmentation is clearly the most popular among patients across the country, including those in Newport Beach. Breast augmentation consistently ranks at the top of the list of plastic surgeries. The reason? Most patients point to high satisfaction rates and short recovery times.

Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Milind K. Ambe MD, understands why. According to him, “Patients are finding that implants are giving more natural looking results, making them far happier with their surgery results than ever before.”

New surgical techniques have also led to this result. Today’s women can have breast augmentation and then be back to work within just a couple of weeks. The recovery times are quite short compared to the techniques used in the past.

Another possible reason that the satisfaction rates are so high is the fact that women have a very clear expectation about this surgery. Unlike a face lift or tummy tuck, which can be hard to visualize, technological advances, like the iAugment app,  are making it easier for women to picture what they will look like after breast augmentation. Realistic expectations lead to satisfied patients.

Of course, much of what leads to a high satisfaction rate and a short recovery time is the skill of the surgeon. Choosing a surgeon who is quite skilled at this procedure, such as Dr. Ambe, greatly improves your chances of having a result that you are happy with. Always look at before and after shots from the surgeon’s office and find out how many breast augmentations his clinic performs each year. This will help you find an experienced, skilled doctor for your upcoming Newport Beach breast augmentation procedure.

Although there are additional risks associated with having a surgery later in life, advances in technology have reduced these risks.  Many elderly men and women see these procedures as helpful to staying competitive in the job market because they can’t afford to (or don’t want to) retire. For them, the benefits of plastic surgery outweigh the risks.

Plastic surgery options remain open throughout your life. Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Milind K. Ambe MD, is happy to meet with patients to discuss options for procedures that can help them look and feel younger. Make these years the best of your life and feel good about the way you look!

When was the last time you took a long look at yourself in the mirror and actually liked what you saw in your reflection? Chances are, it has been a while, especially if you have ignored your own needs because you were busy tending to your kids. If this sounds like your story, you can rest assured that you are not alone. In fact, it is not unusual for devoted mothers and fathers to put the needs of their kids above their own. While such behavior is both is expected and appropriate, it can and does contribute to a consistent lack of attention to personal needs.  This can change when the kids grow up and leave the nest. You may be asking yourself, “What now?” The answer is simple. It is time to get back to all of the things that fulfill you, including your love life, and plastic surgery is just the way to accomplish this goal.  When it comes to revitalizing your love life through plastic surgery, Newport Beach residents trust Orange County plastic surgeon, Milind K. Ambe MD.

Let’s face it, when we look our best, we tend to feel better about showing off our bodies. With the kids gone and living their lives, it’s time to get back all of the things that fulfilled you, including a fulfilling and perhaps
adventurous love life.  However, if you haven’t taken such good care of your appearance because you were tending to your kids, then you will likely need some help getting back to your old or new self.  You can achieve this new look through a variety of surgeries, including breast augmentation, a tummy tuck, or a facelift.  Plastic surgery can not only help restore confidence in your appearance but it will also help enhance your love life by helping you to feel more confident about showing and sharing your body.

Breast augmentation was the number one cosmetic surgery operation performed in 2010. While it has always been very popular among women, its popularity continues to soar with no signs of slowing down.

In the year 2010, this procedure ranked number one amongst all other plastic surgery procedures. There were 318,123 breast augmentation operations performed in that year alone.

Breast implants are made of either saline or silicone. Most women who come to Milind K. Ambe MD either have breasts that are too small or they wish to correct the asymmetry of a bosom that is not the same. Explain to the cosmetic surgeon what you are looking for and then join the thousands of women who have undergone the number one cosmetic surgical procedure and have been pleased that they did!

According to a recent study conducted by ASAPS, titled “Cosmetic Surgery National Data Statistic for 2010”, breast augmentations topped the list of surgical procedures performed on women with 318,123 performed last year. This number is up over 40 percent from the previous year, and leads the second most performed cosmetic surgical procedure for women, liposuction, by nearly 30,000 procedures. As a result, there is no denying what women want: bigger breasts.

However, breast enhancements weren’t the only plastic surgery procedures that women sought out in high numbers in 2010. In fact, of all the cosmetic procedures performed last year, women accounted for nearly 8.6 million or 92 percent, which far exceeds the 8 percent of procedures performed on men. While this may be attributed to increased cultural pressures on women to conform to a heightened standard of beauty, it may also be attributed to the fact that more and more women are becoming accepting of cosmetic surgery. Specifically, nearly 53 percent of women say that they approve of cosmetic surgery compared to 49 percent of men according to the consumer attitudes survey component of the ASAPS study. This may offer an explanation as to why breast augmentations weren’t the only cosmetic procedures women were seeking. Rounding out the top five plastic surgery procedures that women opted for included: liposuction, eyelid surgery, abdominoplasty and breast reduction.

First, your ability to breastfeed will depend largely on where your incision was. It is possible to damage the milk ducts during breast augmentation where the incisions are around the areola. Other incision sites, like under the fold or through the armpit, are far less likely to cause problems. This is why Dr. Ambe will discuss any future breastfeeding with you before your surgery.

Breast surgery can change the sensations of your nipples. If they are much more sensitive, you might have more nipple pain as you learn to breastfeed. Getting your baby’s latch right with the help of a lactation specialist can fix this problem.

Breast engorgement with an implant can be more painful and exaggerated, but this does not prevent you from nursing. As your body adjusts to the milk your baby is drinking, this problem will right itself. If you have fever and chills with your engorgement, you will need medical intervention to ensure you do not have mastitis, a very dangerous breast infection.

Of course, breast-feeding will change the shape and contours of your breasts. For this reason, some women choose to put off their Orange County breast augmentation surgery until they are certain they are done having and nursing babies. That said, most women can successfully breast feed after implant surgery.
