Ready to flaunt the figure you’ve always wanted? The latest advancements in plastic surgery have allowed for some of the most effective and minimally-invasive methods of body sculpting imaginable, particularly in the area of breast enhancement. Breast augmentations are some of the most commonly requested procedures in the country, and not just to add size! Many women choose to improve the shape of their breasts, while some reduce size to balance out their overall profile. Here at Bassin Center for Plastic Surgery in Florida, our plastic surgeons offer various breast enhancement options to fulfill your needs, including breast implants and NaturalFill.
Choosing The Best Breast Implant For Your Shape!
Deciding on the right breast implants for your desired results is as easy as ever! Our Florida surgeons will help you select the best implant shape and size for your particular body type. Rounder implants can provide a fuller look, while tear-shaped implants produce a more natural-looking appearance. Sizing and texture are also considered as you prepare for your breast augmentation procedure. There is minimal scarring involved and most patients return to work in a few days!
Reshape Your Breasts Naturally!
Looking for a minimally-invasive way to improve breast size and shape? NaturalFill is a breast enhancement method that uses your body’s natural fat! NaturalFill gently harvests existing fat from the body by using a concentrated stream of water to flush fat away from the area. Once collected, this fat is then immediately inserted into your breasts to increase volume, smooth out dimpling or edges, and improve contour. NaturalFill minimizes bruising and swelling, and no stitches are required!
Dr. Roger Bassin, Dr. Rigo Mendoza and our staff welcome any questions you may have regarding breast implants, NaturalFill, or any of our other breast enhancement procedures. You can contact us at our Melbourne Plastic Surgery office at 1.321.255.0025, our Orlando Plastic Surgery office at 1.407.851.3888, our Tampa Plastic Surgery office at 1.813.872.7800, and our Villages Plastic Surgery office at 1.877.333.3223, or you may request an appointment online for a personal consultation with either Dr. Bassin or Dr. Mendoza.

The new year is here! What are your resolutions? Eating right and exercising regularly to shed pounds are great goals for the upcoming year. However, extreme loss in weight may result in troublesome areas of sagging skin for some patients. Stretched skin which has lost its elasticity typically does not respond well to diet and exercise. Here at Bassin Plastic Surgery, we can help smooth those problem areas so you can look your best in 2015. Some common areas where patients experience sagging skin include:
Hanging Upper Arms
One particular problem for many people who experience weight loss is the formation of loose and sagging skin around the upper arms. The best way to address this issue is through an arm lift. Also known as brachioplasty, the arm lift targets loose skin that’s hiding your muscles in order to give your arms more shape and definition. Normally, brachioplasty takes two to three hours to complete and the recovery time is about two weeks.
Rubbing Thighs
Another problem area for many is the inner thigh. Sagging skin can result in pain while walking or going for a run. Even worse, chaffing may occur. In some instances, the presence of sagging skin can cause your body to appear disproportionate. Address these issues with a thigh lift, performed at our Orlando office! Our doctors will lift and tighten up the skin around your thighs, easing discomfort and improving your appearance.
Sagging Stomach
The stomach is perhaps the most common problem area among patients, as that stubborn layer of belly fat is often one of the toughest areas to burn off. If your abdominal muscles have been stretched by pregnancy or large fluctuations in weight, you may be an ideal candidate for a mini tummy tuck. Also known as abdominoplasty, this procedure can remove small amounts of skin and fat in the lower abs in a shorter amount of time than a standard tummy tuck. During the procedure, abdominal muscles are tightened and excess skin is removed. Most patients return to work within 1 to 2 weeks and the full recovery time ranges from 4-6 weeks.
Dr. Roger Bassin, Dr. Rigo Mendoza and our staff welcome any questions you may have regarding arm lift, thigh lift, mini tummy tuck, and any of our body contouring procedures. You can contact us at our Melbourne Plastic Surgery office at 1.321.255.0025, our Orlando Plastic Surgery office at 1.407.851.3888, our Tampa Plastic Surgery office at 1.813.872.7800, and our Villages Plastic Surgery office at 1.877.333.3223, or you may request an appointment online for a personal consultation with either Dr. Bassin or Dr. Mendoza.

The New Year countdown is a celebration of the prior year and a new start for the year ahead. Many people watch the ball drop and attend glitzy parties to ring in the New Year right. If you’re hosting or attending a party this New Year’s Eve, you’ll want to look glamorous in preparation for that stolen New Year’s kiss. Visit Dr. Roger Bassin or Dr. Rigo Mendoza at Bassin Center for Plastic Surgery for a New You Countdown:
THREE! Dress Up - Drop a size with Liposonix:
If you’re shopping for the perfect New Year’s outfit, a Liposonix treatment can help you slim and sculpt your figure! Liposonix is a non-invasive, one time treatment that can help you drop a full dress size. Only a 1-hour treatment to target stubborn exercise-resistant fat around the abdomen, and you can achieve permanent results without any subsequent downtime or stitches.
TWO! Cozy Up - Catch someone’s eye with Latisse Eyelash Enhancer:
Long, dark, luscious lashes can add a smoky, dramatic look to your appearance. Latisse Eyelash Enhancer can achieve that look without the application of makeup! One treatment of Latisse before bed nightly for several weeks, and your eyelashes will grow noticeably thicker, darker, and longer! Without continuous treatment, however, your lashes will revert to their original appearance.
ONE! Pucker Up - Plump your lips with Cosmetic Fillers:
To prep for your New Year’s kiss, you may want to consider cosmetic fillers to plump your pucker. Bassin Center for Plastic Surgery offers a variety of cosmetic filler options at our Orlando office to enhance your pout, such as Perlane®, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Sculptra. Although these fillers require bi-yearly appointments to maintain results, their results are noticeable immediately after treatment and are administered with a simple injection. Ask our doctors about NaturalFill® Facial Filler if you’re interested in more permanent results.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Roger Bassin, M.D., Rigo Mendoza, M.D., and our staff look forward to discussing any questions you may have about Liposonix, Latisse Eyelash Enhancer, cosmetic fillers, and any of our many non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments in Orlando. You can contact us at our Melbourne Plastic Surgery office at 1.321.255.0025, our Orlando Plastic Surgery office at 1.407.851.3888, our Tampa Plastic Surgery office at 1.813.872.7800, and our Villages Plastic Surgery office at 1.877.333.3223, or you may request an appointment online for a personal consultation with either Dr. Bassin or Dr. Mendoza.

We all want to hold onto our smooth skin, graceful neck, and youthful appearance for the long run, but in time, these defining features may begin to fade, adding unwanted age to our appearance. At Bassin Center For Plastic Surgery, we know the most common trouble spots for aging are our neck, eyes, and facial wrinkles. We offer specialized, non-invasive procedures, such as LazerLift, dermal fillers, and cosmetic injectables for each of these aging areas, so you can once again embrace your youth!
Turkey Neck
Turkey neck is the skin underneath your chin that is loose and sagging, resembling a gobbler. A result of aging, weight loss, or even genetics, turkey neck impedes your chin’s appearance, making your sagging jowls more prominent. To reduce signs of turkey neck, our Florida plastic surgeon, Dr. Roger Bassin, recommends LazerLift, a no scalpel, no scar neck lift. Using laser technology, LazerLift tightens and smoothens the lower face and neck. This procedure takes less than an hour to complete, giving your neck and chin more definition and renewed youth.
Under Eye Bags
Bags under eyes can make you look tired and worn, although you may feel energized. Dermal fillers can eliminate under-eye bags with targeted injections deep beneath the skin’s layers. These fillers last 6-12 months, depending on the filler and the severity of your condition, and they can smoothen under-eye bags, mimicking the results of the permanent, more invasive procedure, blepharoplasty.
Wrinkles
The first signs of aging are wrinkles. Although some may appreciate these “lines of wisdom” others feel wrinkles prematurely age their face. BOTOX® Cosmetic, a cosmetic injectable, relaxes the facial muscle that causes wrinkles, leaving your face substantially smoother. This FDA-approved procedure lasts four to six months, and is most effective with repeat applications.
Roger Bassin, M.D., Rigo Mendoza, M.D., and their staff look forward to any questions you may have regarding LazerLift, Dermal Fillers, or Botox. Discover if you qualify for one of these procedures by contacting us at our Melbourne Plastic Surgery office at 1.321.255.0025, our Orlando Plastic Surgery office at 1.407.851.3888, our Tampa Plastic Surgery office at 1.813.872.7800, and our Villages Plastic Surgery office at 1.877.333.3223, or you may request an appointment online for a personal consultation with either Dr. Bassin or Dr. Mendoza.
