Is Your Body Beach-Ready? April 30

Every year around this time, Dr. Carlos Chacon of Divino Plastic Surgery sees an influx of patients scheduling consultations to discuss their “beach body” status. Dr. Chacon hears from women that are self-conscious of their breasts, men embarrassed by their chests and patients of both sexes that dislike their stomachs, buttocks and thighs.

Do you share any of these concerns? If so, Divino Plastic Surgery can help. In this blog post, we discuss some of the ways to get your body beach ready.

Bikini-Worthy Breasts

Unhappy with small, saggy or asymmetrical breasts? Consider your breast surgery options to help fill out a skimpy bikini top. Breast augmentation uses saline or silicone implants to add shape and volume to small or differently-sized breasts. Breast lift restores saggy breasts to a perkier and more youthful position on the chest. Both procedures can be combined into one operation for a total breast makeover.

Enviable Pecs

If you are one of the many men that struggle with gynecomastia (i.e., enlarged, woman-like breasts), trips to the beach can be especially difficult. Divino Plastic Surgery offers safe, effective gynecomastia treatment, otherwise known as male breast reduction. The procedure will reduce excessive breast tissue, giving your chest a flatter and more masculine look for improved confidence on the beach and elsewhere!

Curves Ahead

Don’t let a “muffin top,” “spare tire” or saddlebags keep you landlocked this summer. Try one of our body sculpting treatments like liposuction and enjoy a slimmer and sexier physique. Liposuction removes unwanted excess fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, upper arms and neck. Dr. Chacon also offers a number of treatments choices that will help tighten the skin and reduce unwanted fat.

Look Slimmer Instantly

While breast augmentation, liposuction and tummy tuck can give you the body and breasts of your dreams, they require a fair bit of planning and post-operative recovery. You must allow yourself ample time (i.e., a couple of months, depending on the procedure) to heal from surgery before hitting the beach or pool.

Luckily, Southern California enjoys beach weather practically all year round, so you haven’t missed your chance for a killer beach body this year. Dr. Chacon can discuss the timing of your plastic surgery procedure in more detail during a private consultation.

If you would like more immediate beach body results, try these tips and tricks:

• Can’t tone it? Tan it! Use an at-home sunless tanner. Not only will lotions or sprays give you a beautiful golden glow, but they will also make you look more toned.
• Use bronze or contouring products to create the illusion of more cleavage or abdominal muscles.
• Stand up straight. Proper posture is important, as slouching can add pounds to your frame.
• Avoid heavily salted foods. Eating sodium-packed foods causes you to retain water and bloat. Drink plenty of water to flush out bloat. Also, stay away from carbonated drinks, which can expand your stomach.
