Can Innocence be Kept Forever?

November 23rd, 2010

Once, there was nothing we could do about time. The past becomes a figment of the imagination with every day that dawned. However, when technology came along, it caught up with time, figured out its insipid ways and halted it dead on its tracks. Things that used to take weeks, even month, are now accomplished in a fraction of a second. Indeed, we are beginning to outsmart time.

Along with our taming of time came a mastery of that most elusive, yet powerful of time’s children: AGE. Age, as the saying now goes, is nothing but a number. With all the advances in healthcare, nutrition and aesthetics, one may now look as young as one very well sees fit. Wrinkles, sun damage, worn skin and excess weight can now, despite being a result of the past, become a thing of the past. The paradox that is created, however, as we persist in our mission to appear ever younger is the dismal realization that this may not necessarily lead us to feel any younger.

Therein lies the dilemma. Youthful beauty is all well and good, but as another popular adage goes, beauty is only skin-deep. The real, and often irretrievable, casualty of time is innocence. Try as we might to maintain it, the years have a way of changing our views, evolving our motives and leading us to enjoy what we previously could not have even imagined. The question then emerges: is there no way, given all the technology, all the advances we’ve experienced throughout our tenure as top species on planet earth, to look young and feel it, too? Is innocence lost forever?

Not anymore. Believe it or not, there now exists a method to recapture not only the vibrancy of lost youth, but the essence, the unmistakable sensation of it to boot. A procedure that once has been a mere concept in fiction is now possible. In fact, the word ‘possible’ is itself selling the method short as its reliability, ease and availability have made it downright accessible. The science behind it may be intricate, but the result itself is readily defined in one simple word:

Revirginizing.

Lasers, God bless ‘em. They keep our elevator doors from crushing us, tell us how far the crab nebula is, read our DVDs, align our power tools and really make our nights out clubbing a lot more colorful. Just when you thought we’d seen all of this ubiquitous technology’s applications, they go and shock us again.

Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation. These three words, while perfectly intelligible separately, are all of a sudden rendered incomprehensible when grouped together in such a fashion. Simply put, the initial reaction that this particular phrase elicits is: ‘Excuse me??”

But it’s true, ladies and gentlemen. And it’s here.

The folks at Beverly Hills 6750 are geniuses. The esteemed Multi-Specialty Aesthetic Institute, through the highly regarded Dr. Abe Marinduque, has pioneered this unique branch of healthcare: BH Gynesthetics.

The vagina, much like any other part of the body, loses much of its constitution with age, or after natural childbirth. Women, heretofore, had to accept this as an inherent function of growing old. As a direct consequence, much of the pleasure and sensuality is stripped from the act of lovemaking, due to a lack of sensation on both the woman’s part and her partner’s. Age isn’t the only culprit, as conditions like what’s known as ‘relaxed vagina’ (weakening of the vaginal tissues) can also lead to decreased sensitivity and, ultimately, sexual dysfunction. This weakening of vaginal integrity, however, need no longer be another one of the routine potholes on the road of life.

Utilizing the very latest in Laser technology, LVR carefully and precisely reconstructs the vaginal support system, leading to a tighter, more youthful feel. For the aid of those for whom it’d been a long time, this ‘tight and more youthful feel’ translates as ‘amazing sex’. Moreover, this tightness is virtually permanent, reversed only by subsequent vaginal birthing. And because Lasers are used, LVR is safe, relatively bloodless, the recovery time is shorter and the aesthetic results better. Indeed, a patient who’d undergone LVR may return to work in just seven days.

In the modern world, most every little girl who learns of the birds and the bees learns of the hymen in the process: a fragile ring of tissue that, once breached, assures she shall never be referred to as a ‘virgin’ in confidence again. Those days are coming to an end. Enter Beverly Hills 6750’s Laser Hymenoplasty procedure. It is a method by which a Laser is employed to reconstruct a woman’s hymen to a virginal status. Imagine that. A means to a beginning. A return to innocence. A procedure that a layman would no doubt adequately describe as ‘revirginizing’.

Take that, Time.

Beverly Hills 6750’s Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation. A woman’s best friend.

The G-spot: An Urban Myth?

November 23rd, 2010

This month, Beverly Hills 6570 presents BH Gynesthetics, a revolutionary concept of combining gynecology and aesthetics. Pioneered by our very own cosmetic gynecologist Dr. Abe Marinduque, our menu of services and procedures enhance the sexual experience primarily for women and indirectly for men as well.

Scientifically, it is referred to as the Grafenberg spot. Realistically, it’s a massive, universal, mythical urban legend, handed down through the generations, kept alive by oral tradition, amplified by pop culture. There’s a place on a woman, you touch it, she goes crazy. Crazy beyond her wildest dreams.

But we all know it doesn’t work that way. There’s no magic spot that drives you crazy. Sex isn’t all sweat and moans. Sex is sensitive. Sex is complicated. The G-spot is a myth. It has to be, right?

Right?

Wrong. Ladies and, well, gentlemen deeply concerned about ladies, the G-spot is not a myth. It’s real. Every woman has it, and every woman deserves to feel it. Having a G-spot means nothing until you feel it. Until you know it.

Feeling it alone, have you experienced difficulty even finding the spot? Fear not, you’re not alone. Far from it, you’d actually be in the majority. Some statistics peg the odds at eight out of every thirty women are aware of their G-spot. In other words, only one out of a group of girlfriends would actually know where her G-spot is.

Thankfully, necessity is truly the mother of invention. And as a woman’s right to experience all the pleasure her body can offer is necessary, an invention that facilitates this experience is truly something to be thankful for.

Ladies and the aforementioned gentlemen, it has arrived: Beverly Hills 6750’s G-shot.

It’s a non-surgical procedure, imagined for the sole purpose of enhancing the sensations of the much-storied G-spot. This spot is central to the sexual experience, and women who’ve received the shot experienced enhanced sexual arousal, increased frequency and duration of orgasm and heightened desire for sex.

Virtually 9 out of 10 women stand by its efficacy, confessing to enhanced sexual arousal, a heightened desire for sex, and longer, stronger, more orgasms. “It takes a quarter of an hour, and lasts about half a year of pleasure,” exclaims a BH6750 G-shot patient.

Veronica Sta. Maria (pseudonym), another used-to-be skeptic, is a 43-year-old Manila woman who inquired about the G-shot at Beverly Hills 6750.

“I burst into laughter when I heard about it because it just seems so…funny,” Ms. Sta. Maria said. But after giving it a shot, despite the initial humor, she said, “It really gave my sex life a serious boost!”

World-renowned gynecologist Dr. David Matlock pioneered this procedure wherein specially formulated collagen is used to ensure maximum stimulation of a woman’s G-spot. The eminent Dr. Matlock then passed this knowledge on to Beverly Hills 6750’s own Dr. Abe Marinduque, onto our shores and onto our outstretched arms. The institute’s renown for quality service is your guarantee of satisfaction.

Surely there must be a drawback? A downside to all this? The only drawback here is that you’re still reading this, and not on your way down to 6750 Ayala Building to try it out for yourself. The only thing your likely to lose?  Your inhibition.

Again, the G-spot is not a urban myth. And now, so is the G-shot.

Thank God for Beverly Hills 6750 Gynesthetics.

Christmas Mirth, Christmas Girth? Not with Accent!

November 23rd, 2010

From AsianTravelerMagazine.com:

The Pinoy Fear Factor hunks show off their toned bods and the AccentXL system at Beverly Hills 6750: Jose Sarasola, Pinoy Fear Factor champion Jommy Teotico, and Manuel Chua, JrYuletide is near, and it won’t be long till homes are filled with silver bells, cheery carols, and sumptuous traditional Filipino banquets. The merrymaking season is sure to stuff one to bursting with hearty lechon, quezo de bola, hamon, and endless servings of sweet fruit salad and leche flan — prompting so many feasters to vow weeks of diet in the New Year.

Making merry this Christmas doesn’t mean one has to put up with having a figure like Santa’s. So what does one do to get in shape? Ask anyone and they’ll say that exercise is still the best solution to achieving a trim, toned body. If the holiday diet can’t be avoided entirely, a good workout regimen can keep one fit and firm. Men’s physical makeup, however, are a different story altogether. As men age, they tend to accumulate abdominal fat and the dreaded “love handles”. These areas are often resistant to diet and exercise.

Don’t throw in the towel, though. The festive season’s flab can still be shed with Accent Body & Facial Contouring.

Accent is a non-invasive body fat contouring treatment designed to safely and effectively address cellulite and fat reduction. Only the AccentXL system combines two proprietary radio frequency modes – BiPolar and UniPolar – using separate handpieces that dispenses therapeutic heat at different tissue depths within the body, where collagen is produced and fat is stored. It contracts the fibrous tissue and decreases the fatty layer under the skin, thus lowering volume and giving a more even tone to the skin.

The state-of-the-art technology of the AccentXL system delivers an effective treatment for spot fat reduction. The treatment areas are carefully mapped in order to re-contour the body’s shape. One essentially can target only the areas that need the reduction or smoothing – thus reshaping or contouring the body without liposuction or other expensive and painful invasive surgical procedures. Treated areas are smoother and firmer, giving the body a more defined shape.

Not only is Accent an effective way to shape the torso, this treatment is as effective in maintaining and improving the areas of the face and neck. Multiple clinical studies and thousands of satisfied patients have proven the treatment’s effectiveness in tightening loose skin, promoting healthy collagen production and improving body contours. Compared to other skin treatment systems, one can see noticeable results faster with Accent.

As with all aesthetic treatments, the best course of action is consulting well-trained and board-certified physicians. Beverly Hills 6750 prides itself in being an aesthetics institute whose professional team consists predominantly of department chiefs from the country’s major hospitals, all experts of their sub-specialties. Beverly Hills 6750 has an impeccable staff of doctors who represent the top practitioners of the medical profession. Clients are therefore assured of professional service and quality results.

This season of presents, parties, and mirth, let nothing dampen the holiday spirit. Make good cheer and deck the halls in top form — all it takes is a workout and a little help from Accent.

Beverly Hills 6750 Multi-Specialty Aesthetic Institute is located at 11th Floor, 6750 Ayala Building, Ayala Avenue, Makati, Philippines. For inquiries, call 893-8888 or text 0917-893-6750, or visit the website at www.bh6750.com.

BH6750’s Dietary Supplement: A New Look at Health and Beauty

October 28th, 2010

Beverly Hills 6750 has just released a brand new dietary supplement called BH6750 Natural Dietary Supplement which contains L-Glutathione, Alpha Lipioic acid, Vitamin C, and L-Carnitine. It is a specially formulated supplement that functions not only as a way to help burn excess fat, but also whitens a dark skin tone. It can also slow down the aging process by acting as an anti-oxidant.

Since obesity is a growing occurrence in the Philippines where an estimated 500,000 Filipinos is afflicted with the problem, Beverly Hills 6750 suggests the use of BH6750 Natural Dietary Supplement because it contains an important ingredient known as L-Carnitine. L-Carnitine is an amino acid that is a natural part of the human diet. It can be found in red meats and some dairy products and vegetables. Together with the right diet and exercise, a person with weight problems who takes the dietary supplement will burn fat and convert it into more useful energy.

Beverly Hills 6750 also recognizes people’s need for a whitening agent since uneven pigmentation is a common skin problem. This occurs when the body overproduces or does not produce enough melanin.  Melanin is the pigment produced by melanocyte cells and the enzyme tyrosinase triggers the reaction. It releases two kinds of colors: 1) Eumelanin, which is a brown/black color and 2) Pheomelanin, which is a red/yellow color. When there is an overproduction of melanin and the skin starts to darken or has brown spots, this means that Melasma is present. The dark skin tone can also be caused by photo-aging or overexposure to the sun.

The BH6750 Dietary Supplement is a solution that addresses this problem. It contains L-Glutathione, a component that is known to inhibit the production of melanin. What the BH6750 Dietary Supplement does is it suppresses the activation of tyrosinase and changes the pigment synthesis from producing eumelanin (brown/black) to pheomelanin (red/yellow). While taking the supplement definitely helps whiten skin, it is still recommended that one uses a sun block when outdoors in order to be protected from the sun.

Another way that the BH6750 Natural Dietary Supplement can help is through its function as an anti-oxidant. By slowing down or preventing the oxidation of molecules, the supplement also slows down aging. Studies have likewise shown that glutathione has detoxifying properties that flushes toxins out of the body. Indeed, the BH6750 Dietary Supplement is not only a weight-loss aid and skin whitening formula, but is also beneficial for the health.

Essential Ingredients in BH6750 Natural Dietary Supplement

October 26th, 2010

Beverly Hills 6750 has released a natural dietary supplement that contains L-Glutathione, Alpha Lipoic Adic, Vitamin C, and L-Carnitine, which are all ingredients helpful to the body. Let’s take a look at two of its most essential ingredients – Glutathione and L-Carnitine. What are the main effects of these two and how are they beneficial to the body?

Let’s start with Glutathione. Glutathione is a small protein made of three amino acids called cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. These ingredients aid in detoxification of harmful toxins by binding them and transforming them into a form that can be flushed out through the urine or bile. It also boosts the immune system by producing fighter cells known as B and T that can prevent sickness and diseases from developing.

Another important effect of Glutathione is its prevention of the activation of tyrosinase. Tyrosinase is what causes an overproduction of melanin, which can cause skin darkening and uneven pigmentation. Since the BH6750 Natural Dietary Supplement contains Glutathione and Vitamin C, it can reduce melanin production or divert the pigment synthesis from a black pigmentation to a red or yellow pigmentation. The overall effect will be that of a whiter and more even skin tone.

Glutathione also contains anti-oxidants that control the damaging effects of free-radicals. Free-radicals are known to cause aging. By acting as an anti-oxidant, the BH6750 Natural Dietary Supplement prevents these free-radicals from damaging the cells and helps slow down aging in the process.

The BH6750 Natural Dietary Supplement also has L-Carnitine. This compound is an important dietary ingredient that aids in the burning of fatty cells and converts these into sources of energy. L-Carnitine is essential when undergoing a diet program and exercise routine because of its ability to transform fatty acids into an ingredient that will breakdown fat and produce energy. It also increases fatty acid metabolism, so it can be used as an energy nutrient.

Through these two main ingredients, Glutathione and L-Carnitine, the BH6750 Natural Dietary Supplement indeed answers the growing need of consumers to maintain a healthy and youthful appearance. It not only addresses the problem of a dark skin tone and obesity, it also slows down the aging process and keeps one healthier overall because of its anti-oxidant properties. You can’t go wrong with the BH6750 Natural Dietary Supplement.

Finally, the Winners of the Beverly Hills 6750 Make My Day Anniversary Contest!

October 20th, 2010

We really were blessed by everyone who sent in the four things that made their day. Indeed, it’s the simple things that transform our day.

After a tough day of picking the winners, and taking votes over and over again (this is why it took us so long to post), here are the winners to our Facebook and Twitter Make My Day! contest.

A BIG thank you to all of you who made our fourth year of Beauty, Health, and Wellness a smashing success. Fabulous treats from Elizabeth Arden, Marriott Hotel Manila, Beverly Hills 6750, and more await these winners!

FACEBOOK:

Blanca Santos Dela Cruz

Dear Beverly Hills 6750, the four things that make my day are:
  1. Going to work. I love my job which is teaching. It brings me in the company of kids and kids at heart (my co teachers) which can pass up as natural beauty enhancers. They give me that youthful glow that can only come from sheer happiness of being with th…em everyday.
  2. Getting my one hour workout (which is actually just walking non stop along the street in front of our house) I love it because it has become my “me” time where I sometimes pray, dream, plan and imagine. It is the only time where I let my thoughts run freely. Usually after that, I never felt so good.
  3. A tight hug and kiss from my hubby that can melt all the stress and tiredness away leaving me only with a bounce in my step and a silly smile pasted on my face.
  4. That gentle little voice calling me mommy when she is unsure of something, when she has questions in her mind or when she has nice stories to share. =)

Enjoy Better Health With Increased Glutathione Levels

October 19th, 2010

Karel MarquezClinical studies have shown that glutathione is beneficial to the body. It not only aids in a person’s diet and weight loss, but it can also help improve the whitening and evening of skin tone. More importantly, it acts as an antioxidant and helps the immune system fight off infections and prevent cancer.

The body actually produces its own glutathione but because of other factors such as a poor diet, excessive intake of toxins present in alcohol and nicotine, bad pollution, and stress, glutathione levels can unfortunately decrease. Beverly Hills 6750 suggests these ways that you can increase your glutathione levels:

  1. Consume food rich with sulfur such as garlic, onion and vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, asparagus, potato, spinach, and broccoli for example). These help in the production of glutathione. Non?pasteurized milk that has no pesticides or hormones is also a source of amino acids that are essential in glutathione production. Other recommended foods that can increase glutathione are avocado, watermelon, walnuts, cottage, and ricotta cheese.
  2. Make sure you have an exercise program. Exercising will boost glutathione levels and increase your body’s antioxidant protection. A sample exercise plan is to do aerobic activities such as walking or jogging for 30 minutes hrice a week. You can also do strength training such as weight lifting for 20 minutes.
  3. Take supplementary glutathione, such as the BH 6750 Natural Dietary Supplement. It not only contains glutathione but also has Alpha Lipoic acid, Vitamin C, and L?Carnitine. Alpha Lipoic acid is essential to our cells’ health. By taking the dietary supplement, you can increase this component, which aids in blood sugar control, energy production, detoxification and brain health. Vitamin C is also a natural anti?oxidant that works in recycling glutathione. And L?Carnitine is a good combatant for diseases and infections. The BH6750 Natural Dietary Supplement will likewise help increase your glutathione levels. It will also aid eight loss and can act as an anti?oxidant to flush out the body’s harmful toxins.

These are just some ways you can increase the production of glutathione in your body. If you maintain a healthy amount of glutathione in your body, then you will increase your chances of combating diseases related to aging such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Plus, you can maintain skin that has a naturally healthy and youthful glow.

Blepharoplasty: With Eyes Wide Open!

October 19th, 2010

If there were one thing about your face that you could improve, what would it be? Chances are — your answer would be your eyes! The eyes can express more than mere words ever could. With one glance, a person can immediately show what’s on their mind — anger, longing, doubt, joy and contentment can easily be expressed through the eyes. However, since it is this part of the face that communicates so much without creating a sound, it is also the part of the body most prone to life’s wear and tear.

Words, or the lack thereof, may get in the way of proper communication just as emotions are not expressed well because of sagging skin around the eye area. Your expressions become muted and you appear tired and older than you really are. Nothing adds years to one’s face as droopy eyes. A person can look prematurely old because of the poor condition of the area around the eyes. Luckily for us, we live in the day and age when these concerns are simply a matter of deciding on a remedy and going for it.

BLEPHAROPLASTY AND ITS BENEFITS

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), whether it be the upper eyelid or the lower eyelid, is often performed to correct some perceived imperfection that impacts on the way an individual feels about his or her appearance. A blepharoplasty procedure can take years off a person’s looks—so much so that some patients may be perfectly content with the results as opposed to having a full face-lift. The advantages of having blepharoplasty include:

  • The procedure can restore the youthful look to the eyes by removing unwanted fat and excess skin from the eyelids—making the eyes look healthier and livelier.
  • It can also correct puffiness in the upper eyelids that cause the eyes to appear tired.
  • It may diminish fine wrinkles and lines—the bags that sometimes appear beneath the eyes can also be removed.
  • There is considerable improvement of one’s peripheral vision with the removal of droopy, sagging skin that obscures the natural fold in the upper eyelids.
  • Patients find that improvement in the overall appearance of the eyes will boost one’s self-esteem.

BLEPHAROPLASTY FOR ASIANS

Estimates show that 50-75% of all Asians are born with a single eyelid; that is, they lack the crease in the upper eyelid. The demand for blepharoplasty among Asians is generally due to a desire for making the eyes appear larger and more vibrant, and not so much because of a desire to look more Caucasian. Generally, overall appearance that is still congruent to one’s Asian ethnicity is desired. For women, upper eyelid surgery can make it easier to apply eye makeup.

WHO ARE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR BLEPHAROPLASTY?

If you’re seriously contemplating to have a blepharoplasty done, you should consider the following:

  • Do you have excess skin obscuring the natural fold of the upper eyelids?
  • Do you have loose skin hanging down from the upper eyelids?
  • Does the loose skin impair your vision?
  • Do your eyes appear puffy—making you look tired?
  • Is your eye area surrounded by fine wrinkles?
  • Do you have eye bags and dark circles under your eyes?

If you have one or two problems as mentioned above, you are a potential candidate for a blepharoplasty — as this type of surgery can correct these problems.

WHAT OUR DOCTORS SAY

Dr. Joel Unson, a plastic surgeon at Beverly Hills 6750 says, “When undergoing any procedure, the most important thing for a patient, is to know everything there is to know about the operation. Being fully informed of the procedure, its risks and benefits, and being mentally sound is almost as important as being physically prepared. You have to set realistic goals in terms of what you want to achieve. When talking to your doctor, be very specific in telling him what you exactly want. Good communication between you and your physician will facilitate the attainment of the results you want to achieve.”

Dr Rene Valerio adds, “Most eyelid irregularities may be corrected through surgery — though some other treatments may also be considered in conjunction with having a blepharoplasty. For example, if the upper eyelid condition is accompanied by sagging of the eyebrows, then a brow lift or even an endoscopic forehead lift may be recommended. Smoothening of wrinkles around the eyes, like “crow’s feet” may be accomplished with Botox, chemical peeling or laser re-surfacing procedures. Dark circles beneath the eyes caused by pigmentation may be treated with fillers such as hyaluronic acid or a fat transplant, as well as with a bleaching solution or a chemical peel.”

REVITALASH® at Beverly Hills 6750 – For Longer, Fuller, Thicker Eyelashes

September 17th, 2010

The latest secret in dramatic eyes is out and is fast becoming a celebrity favorite! It’s called RevitaLash®.

Receiving rave reviews from such fans as Marcia Cross, Kloe Kardashian, Patricia Arquette, Courtney Cox, Vanessa Williams, Ivanka Trump, Anne Hesche, Felicity Huffman, Debra Messing, Lorraine Bracco, Hayden Panettiere, and many more; RevitaLash® is available at Beverly Hills 6750.

For ages women have been batting their eyelashes to flirt with men. It’s common knowledge that the eyes are a powerful tool of attraction. It’s even a scientific fact that an intense gaze is one of the most effective ways a woman can show her interest in a man. Ever since the days of Cleopatra women are still searching for new  ways to dramatize their eyes. And now, RevitaLash® can really make a difference!

Beginnings. RevitaLash® was developed by Dr. Michael Brinkenhoff as a special gift for his wife, Gayle, while she was recovering from breast cancer. Intensive chemotherapy treatments had damaged Gayle’s once-beautiful eyelashes, leaving them sparse, breakable and fragile.

After extensive research with a team of talented cosmetic chemists, Dr. Brinkenhoff formulated an eyelash conditioner that, after just a few weeks, gave a renewed look of vitality to Gayle’s eyelashes.

Soon friends and family wanted to know Gayle’s secret to beautiful looking eyelashes. Gayle knew immediately the perfect name for the amazing eyelash conditioner that had given her eyelashes a renewed look of vitality: RevitaLash®.

Thus, a new product was born; and a formula created originally for just one special woman has become a product available to women everywhere who want to have beautiful looking eyelashes.

Results. It claims to provide longer, fuller, and thicker lashes anywhere between 3 to 10 weeks, after beginning its application.

Directions for use. Once daily, at bedtime, apply a thin line of RevitaLash® to the base of the eyelashes (as though you were applying eyeliner) to produce dramatic results. Once results are achieved, apply two to three times a week for maintenance. Each tube should last approximately three to five months.

Key Ingredients.

  • Panthenol is a humectant that moisturizes the lashes making it appear shiny and healthy.
  • Citric acid acts as a natural preservative.
  • Chlorphenesin is a drug used as a muscle relaxant and its side effect is hair growth.
  • Disodium Phosphate provides thickness to the lashes.
  • Trifluoromethyl Dechloro Ethylprostenolamide, a prostaglandin derivative that is a hormone-mimicking ingredient essential for lash growth.
  • Cellulose Gum holds all the ingredients together while acting as a thickening agent.

Breast Enhancement Scarless Technology® (B.E.S.T.®)

September 17th, 2010

Innovative Belly Button Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast Enhancement Scarless Technology® (B.E.S.T.®) also known as transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) is the latest exclusive surgical innovation offered at Beverly Hills 6750! This is performed using the latest in endoscopic technology to make one’s breasts fuller and enhance body shape.

Advantages. Traditional breast augmentation methods require an incision and a resulting scar — usually either at the bottom crease of the breast, around the nipple or in the armpit. During Breast Enhancement Scarless Technology® (B.E.S.T.®), the breast implants are inserted through a small incision at the upper rim of the belly button and tunneled beneath the skin of the abdomen, using endoscopic technique, up to the area of the breast. The result is a fuller breast and enhanced contour with no scars on the breasts, a quicker recovery and less risk of sensation changes in the nipples and breasts.

Technique. Breast Enhancement Scarless Technology® (B.E.S.T.®) is usually performed with local anesthesia and IV sedation. Numbing medication is administered so that patients can feel pressure, but no pain, in the area of surgery. Under sedation, patients remain conscious but are sedated to the point of a light sleep.

A starburst-shaped incision is made at the top rim of the belly button, leaving only a small scar inside the navel’s upper rim. The surgeon then uses an endoscope fitted with a surgical camera to create a channel from the incision to the tissues behind each breast. A tissue expander with a long fill tube is inserted through the channel, positioned over the chest muscle (subglandular) or partially under the chest muscle (subpectoral) and filled with either saline or air to expand the breast pocket. The expander is filled to approximately 1 1/2 times the volume of the permanent implant to create a pocket large enough for natural movement.

After the breast pocket is sufficiently expanded, the tissue expander is deflated and removed. The empty breast implant is rolled up, inserted in the same manner as the tissue expander and filled with saline water. The breast implants can be placed over the chest muscle (subglandular) or partially under the muscle (submuscular). Implants placed over the muscle create a more distinct cleavage and a more rounded appearance to the breasts. If the implants are placed under the muscle, the breasts are usually less rounded with the upper portion of the breasts having a more natural shape.

Once the implant is in place and filled, the surgeon uses the endoscope to examine the implant and check for bleeding. The incision is then closed and a small bandage applied. The entire surgery usually takes from 45 to 60 minutes.

This is an outpatient procedure.

Breast Implants. These are medical devices that are used during breast augmentation to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Breast Enhancement Scarless Technology® (B.E.S.T.®) is performed using saline breast implants because they can be rolled up and inserted through the narrow channel created by the endoscope before being filled with saline water. This type of implant is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Saline breast implants are available in a variety of sizes, profiles, shapes and textures. The options as to which implants are to be used is best discussed with the surgical team so that size choice and breast implant style can be determined in order to meet one’s goals for breast augmentation.

Recovery. After BEST® breast augmentation, patients are able to return to the comfort of their home after spending time under medical supervision in the recovery room.

Though complications are rare, they can and do occur, as with any surgery. The biggest drawback is that the BEST® incision usually can’t be reused if an implant

must be revised or removed due to a complication, requiring an incision at the breast crease or around the nipple. There is also a risk of changes in sensation, though this risk is less than with other breast augmentation methods.
