What are silicone sheets?

Silicone Sheets are 100% medical-grade silicone. Silicone sheets are self-adhering and contours easily to any part of the body, while also being extremely durable, and the best part is you can wash and reuse your scar sheets. Silicone scar sheeting is considered the “gold standard” in scar management. It works to enhance the natural scar healing process to soften and flatten stubborn raised scarring, which makes this the perfect post-procedure product to minimize your risk of surgery scarring.

Mastoplexy

Also called breast lifts, women choose to have a mastoplexy when their breasts begin to sag due to either age or the skin not being strong enough to support the weight of the breasts. During a breast lift, your surgeon will make an incision (cut) around the areola. The cut will usually extend down the front of your breast, from the bottom of the areola to the crease. It may also extend along the sides of the areola. Your surgeon will remove this excess skin to create a more lifted appearance to your breasts.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is performed to enhance the appearance, size and contour of a woman's breasts. Women consider breast augmentation for different reasons such as wanting larger breasts, after experiencing a loss of size in breasts or just wanting a lifted appearance in the breast.
