Breast Reduction by Dr. Kelly: When is big too big?

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9AcRyrS\u002d\u002dIA 17 year old patient contacted me because her breast was causing her a lot of pain. Originally a size F, she wanted to reduce her breast to an A. Together with her, however, we came to the conclusion that we should aim for a B/C. This is because a breast reduction does not simply mean a reduction in size. I want to continue to emphasize the harmony of proportions and the feminine silhouette and maintain a feminine and sensual body for my patients.

Why does fat not like the cold? Cryolipolysis simply explained!

You could sculpt your waist, skim inches off of your thighs, or rid yourself or a double-chin in under an hour, with barely any pain (for most people). For me, this is one of the best non-invasive treatments for tackling unwanted excess fat. You can achieve beautiful reductions in fat pockets and a more contoured silhouette with minimal – if any – downtime for lasting results. It sounds almost too good to be true, so how exactly does this “fat freezing” work?How does cryolipolysis work?In Cryolipolysis, controlled cooling is applied safely onto the area to be treated, causing...

It’s a woman’s world – A guide to a good breast augmentation

Breast implants are an extremely popular plastic surgery procedure....

To lipo or not to lipo?

This is when we start playing with the thought of a liposuction. I understand though that the decision to engage in plastic surgery is not the easiest one. It involves great debate, a lot of fear, much excitement, lying to parents, partners and sometime friends and the burning questions: To lipo or not to lipo? And am I at the right place to do it?Liposuction is permanentFrom the moment we’re born, we start manufacturing fat cells, a process that stops just after adolescence. The average person ends up with 40 billion – give or take 10 billion fat cells. Those cells are permanent,...

She is all natural – with breast implants

To be naturally beautiful, is deeper in our nature than many think, and is not always related to general perceptions of “beauty.” What is beautiful for one does not necessarily mean the same sensation in someone else.Challenged by movements against putting yourself under the knife, breast implants are unnatural foreign bodies and you have low self-esteem if you wish plastic surgery, I decided to tell the story of a patient of mine, who is “a natural girl”.Entering her into my practice made all of us think she confused our address with the homeopathic center next door.She introduces...

What Is Hyaluronic Acid and How does it work?

What is Hyaluronic Acid?Hyaluronic Acid is a very common substance, you might find hiding on the labels of some of your skincare products as HA. But it is actually naturally occurring in the human body. The substance works as a magnet for moisture, helping your cells retain as much of it as possible so that your skin feels and appears hydrated, plump and healthy.Now for the science-y bit. Just a single gram of Hyaluronic Acid has the impressive ability to hold up to six litres of water. Add to that, a super smart ability to regulate that moisture within the cells, so as not to drown...

Mommy Makeover – A new beauty must-have or a need?

A miracle of the female bodyShortly after the birth of my little daughter, something happened to me that I had never known before. For the first time in my life I accepted my body with so much devotion (even love) as it was.Three months after giving birth, I was marred with all the usual wounds of one who has brought a child into the world. Stretch marks on my thighs, a flabby, pockmarked belly, breasts that ached from all the milk my little one gulped down in large portions, and a still-sensitive scar from the C-section.But at that time I felt really good; maybe even more confident...

Perfectly Imperfect – Does cosmetic surgery improve emotional well-being?

Self-Reflection and PerceptionWhen I watched her playing the role of Madeleine/Judy, I was immediately reminded of the moral debate concerning aesthetic surgery after her appearance at the Oscars a few years back. A visage all-too-apparently disfigured by aesthetic surgery. “Disgusting, awkward, depressing” these were all the comments from bystanders… and don’t even begin to describe the media blitz.And whilst you can objectively say that there were procedures done wrong in her case, she answered back pointing out that she feels happier after them. Although I strongly believe that cosmetic...

Summer Bodies are made in Winter

New Year – New MeMany people are considering aesthetic surgery at the beginning of the new year to improve their body, face or skin. If you are interested in a cosmetic surgery, it is important to have realistic goals, what can and can not be achieved. And for me it is always important that an aesthetic surgery can complement a healthy lifestyle. It can not and should not be a means to drastically change your appearance. However, you can expect to get a fresher and younger version of yourself. I would like to introduce you briefly here to the methods that are suited the best.Summer...

Why Do We Shame Women Who Get Plastic Surgery?

The year 2018: Privacy does matterAt the beginning I was surprised to experience such a case in 2018 in Switzerland, the center of Europe. Then I started to accepted it and I respected it. I adjusted my consultation time so that patients don’t meet each other, I rented extra parking spots in the garage underneath the practice so that my patients come and go privately.But still I cannot stop thinking: Why do we shame women who get aesthetic treatments or cosmetic surgery?An eye opening interviewSome years ago, I happened to read an interview of Lisa Kudrow (some might know her...

The art of minimalism – why less is more

The mistakes we have all seen alreadyDermal fillers can nowadays do so much, but no one wants to look “done”. Still, we’ve all seen it, or maybe it’s even happened to us: the brow too high, too low, too frozen; the balloonish lips or Angelina-Jolie-cheekbones that give the game away.What is mostly asked by my patients is the non-surgical facelift. And most of them believe that the only way to achieve it is to pump up the skin with plenty of fillers. Apparently because this is what they have seen or experienced till now. When we see overfilled or disconcertingly immobile faces, there...

Summer is gone – Why now is the best time for aesthetic treatments

Switzerland – the sun destination in the heart of EuropeLiving in the center of Europe gives us the unique opportunity to catch any flight to the south, sunny resorts for a long vacation or even for a hot weekend. Sun was though very generous with Switzerland too this year, we all enjoyed high temperatures, swimming in the lakes and sun tanning till the long evening hours.On a negative side, exposure to the harsh summer sun can work to ‘speed up’ the visible signs of ageing. Exposure to UVA and UVB rays contributes to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles (as a result of reduced...
