The Importance of Wearing Sunscreen: Protect Your Skin as You Age

Skin Care

Wearing sunscreen is one of the best things you can do for your skin. Sunscreen helps protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun that can cause unhealthy skin as you get older. Things like sunburn, wrinkles, and even skin cancer are caused by too much exposure to the sun without any protection.

By using sunscreen every day, you can keep your skin healthy and looking young even when enjoying the summer weather.

Let’s take a look at why sunscreen is so important for your skin health and what can happen if you don’t use it. You may be surprised at how healthy your skin can be as you get older if you protect it when you’re in your 20’s.

The Importance of Daily Sunscreen Use

Preventing Sunburn

The most common (and obvious) side effect of not properly applying sunscreen when going out in the sun, is sunburn. It can make your skin red, painful, and sometimes even cause blisters.

Getting sunburned often can lead to more serious problems such as skin cancer. Sunscreen helps protect your skin from getting sunburned by blocking the sun’s harmful UV rays, while still allowing you to enjoy being outside.

What about cloudy days? Yes, sunscreen should be worn even on cloudy days. The sun’s UV rays can still penetrate through the clouds and cause damage to your skin cells. Cloudy days can be very deceptive because it may not seem like the sun’s rays are doing damage, when in fact they are.

This is why it’s important to apply sunscreen, at the very least on your face, every single day, regardless of the cloud cover.

Reducing Risk of Skin Cancer

Did you know that about 5.4 million people in the United States are diagnosed with skin cancer every single year? And what is the most common cause of skin cancer?

If you said the sun, you would be correct.

If not protected, the sun’s harmful rays can damage your skin cells and cause skin cancer over time. While there are genetic causes of skin cancer, and other outside sources that can cause skin cancer, using sunscreen can help lower your risk of getting cancer from sun exposure.

Sunscreen is like putting a shield on your skin to protect it from getting hurt by the sun.

Preventing Premature Aging

While not as serious of an issue as skin cancer is, the sun’s rays can also make your skin age much faster when not protected.

This means you can get wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots earlier in your life than you should. Not to mention it can cause these imperfections and skin aging issues to be more prominent as you get older.  

Sunscreen helps keep your skin looking young by protecting it from these harmful rays. When you use sunscreen, you are helping to keep your skin smooth and healthy.

Avoiding Skin Discoloration

While usually not harmful or life threatening, over exposure to the sun for an extended period of time can cause dark spots, also known as liver spots, on your skin.

These spots can make your skin look uneven and sometimes unsightly depending on how large they grow. Sunscreen helps prevent these spots by protecting your skin from the sun. This will help keep your skin tone even and beautiful.

Minimizing Skin Inflammation

UV rays from the sun can also cause your skin to become inflamed, making it red and irritated. For people with sensitive skin conditions like psoriasis or rosacea, the sun can make things worse.

Sunscreen can help prevent inflammation and keep your skin calm and comfortable.

How to Choose and Use Sunscreen

Selecting the Right Sunscreen

When choosing a sunscreen, look for one with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 30. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of the sun’s harmful rays.

It’s also important to choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which protects against both UVA and UVB rays. If you have sensitive skin, you can also look for gentle ingredients that won’t irritate your skin.

Proper Application and Reapplication

The biggest mistake most people make when wearing sunscreen is not properly applying it, or not applying enough.

To make sure your sunscreen works well, you need to use enough to cover all exposed skin. Don’t forget areas like your ears, neck, and the tops of your feet.

Apply the sunscreen 15 minutes before going outside and if you are swimming or sweating, reapply every two hours or after getting wet.

This will help ensure that you have proper coverage across your exposed skin and will help protect you throughout your whole day.

Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatments for Sun Damage

If you notice your skin showing the effects of sun damage, there are things we can do to help restore and rejuvenate your skin. But before undergoing any surgical or non-surgical treatments for damaged skin due to the sun, be sure to consult with a dermatologist about any concerning areas.

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer and it’s always better to get checked out before just writing a spot off as being benign.

Non-Surgical Procedures

  1. Chemical Peels: This treatment removes the top layer of damaged skin, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. It can help with sun spots and uneven skin tone.
  2. Laser Therapy: Lasers can target dark spots and stimulate collagen production, which helps make your skin look younger and smoother.
  3. Microdermabrasion: This is a type of exfoliation that removes dead skin cells, making your skin look brighter and more even.

Surgical Procedures

  1. Facelifts: A facelift can tighten loose skin and reduce deep wrinkles caused by sun damage. This helps your skin look firmer and younger.
  2. Skin Grafting: If you have severe sun damage or skin cancer, a skin graft can replace damaged skin with healthy skin from another part of your body.
  3. Dermabrasion: This is a more intense exfoliation than microdermabrasion. It removes deeper layers of damaged skin to improve its texture and appearance.

Sunscreen is the Key to Healthy, Young-Looking Skin

Wearing sunscreen every day is essential for keeping your skin healthy and looking good. It protects your skin from sunburn, skin cancer, premature aging, and other damage.

Make sure to choose the right sunscreen with at least an SPF rating of 30 and apply it thoroughly and properly. If you are already noticing signs of sun damage, there are many different treatments available to help repair your skin.

By taking care of your skin with sunscreen, you can enjoy the sun safely and keep your skin looking its best for years to come.

choosing the right breast implant

​Choosing the Right Breast Implant for You

Breast Augmentation

Choosing the right breast implant is one of the more stressful experiences you will face when preparing for your surgery. If you don’t choose the right implant the first time around, you will have to go through the entire process all over again. The vast majority of revision procedures are done because the patient is unhappy with the results of the previous surgery.

While most women are 100% satisfied with their breast implant surgery, there are inevitably those who are not. This is primarily due to choosing the wrong implant size. Making your selection based upon a model you saw on t.v. or the internet is one of the worst things you can do. Your body may be entirely different than the model you saw and what looks good on them might not look good on you.

One of the first things you’ll need to consider when choosing the right implant is your own body type and shape. You need to choose implants that will compliment your body type and shape, otherwise they may look unnatural.

Things to Consider when Thinking About Breast Implants

All women have different breast types, shapes and sizes – there are no two breasts that are the same. The measurements of your breast will determine the implant size that fits your breast the best.  Every woman has a different amount of breast tissue, and this will affect the size. Women who have less breast tissue before surgery will be smaller than a woman who naturally has more breast tissue.

There are many different things you should consider when getting a breast augmentation as well as deciding on what size you should get. Every woman is different and what works for one person may not work for another. This is why it’s important to speak to a qualified surgeon who can help you choose what size is right for you.

Body Type and Shape

Women who are thin or have thin frames may want to think twice about getting large breast implants. Large implants tend to stand out a lot more on thin women. You’ll also find yourself getting a lot of attention from men. Some women are not comfortable with this kind of attention and after a while they may get tired and even annoyed with it. This could lead to unhappiness with the implants and even corrective surgery.

On the other end of the spectrum, women with slightly more robust body frames would be ideal candidates for a larger implant with a wider base. This low-profile implant can help accentuate the natural curves of the body as well as make it appear more natural.

Another important factor to think about is the shape of your body. Women with strong body frames can easily carry the added weight of large implants. Women with thinner body frames might experience back and other associated pains with larger size implants. For example, a “C”cup breasts on a woman with a thin body is generally accepted as normal. However, “C” cup breasts on a larger women would hardly be noticeable.

Choosing the Right Breast Implant Size

Getting stuck on an implant size, because of a friend’s size or a picture you saw on the Internet, does not mean you will get the same result by asking for that same implant size. Again, everyone is different.

It is also important not to get stuck on bra size. The bra industry does not manufacture their bras by the same size chart as breast implants. Keep in mind when you go to different stores you can be a different cup size. This is why it is very important to select a size that looks good on your body – not what bra size you will be.

How Big is Too Big When it Comes to Breast Implants?

There is a specialized technique of selecting an implant size that fits your breast. The method is called the High 5 System. This method has been published and proven to calculate the perfect-sized implant that fits your breast the best. The measurements will determine how much room is in the breast and how much volume needs to be added to fill out the breast.

Once the size range is chosen, the exact size will be selected based on your personal preferences. Vectra 3D imaging is a visual tool that is used during Dr. Adams’ consultation to allow patients to see their results before surgery. Being able to see the breast augmentation results on your own body will give you the confidence that you made the right choice before surgery.

The goal when selecting the appropriate size is not only to produce a natural and appropriate look; it also can help with lowering risks of complications and give you longevity. Women that go with an implant size that is too large for their breast will experience results that look unnatural. Even worse, receiving an implant that is too large can distort the shape of the breast. Over time, the skin will not be able to support the implant and will cause stretching, rippling and atrophy, which is thinning of breast tissue. This can cause irreversible damage that could lead to additional surgery sooner than you expect.

Utilizing these new technologies to visualize what your breast implants will look like, in addition to consulting with a board-certified surgeon, will ensure that you’re not overdoing it when it comes to the size of your breast implants.

Different Breast Implant Shapes

One of the most important decisions you’ll make is the shape of the implant. There are two basic shape types of implants: teardrop and round. Both implants when sized correctly can give a very natural result. If you are unsure of which shape is best for you, you can always consult with your doctor.

Teardrop Implants

Teardrop implants look like an actual tear. Rounder at the bottom and more protruding at the top. They have a contour that is sloped which makes it look more like a natural breast. Teardrops give off a greater projection than round implants.

Generally speaking, teardrops tend to cost more money due to the extra effort that goes into manufacturing them. If money is a concern, you might want to think twice before selecting the teardrop shape. They also require a textured surface to prevent them from rotating inside the breast and distorting the shape of it. This too adds to the cost of the implant.

Round Implants

The vast majority of women who get implants tend to go with the round implant. Round implants can project just as much as teardrops do. This is due to the 4 types of round implants that exist, which range from low projection to high projection.

Due to the fact that the round implant is round, it will not rotate inside the breast. Therefore it can be chosen with a smooth or textured surface. Generally speaking, it tends to cost less than the teardrop.

Rounds are chosen because of the fullness, cleavage and lift appearance they give to the breast. .

Saline or Silicone Implants?

The material used to fill the implant is also another important choice you’re going to have to make. There are two types of implant fillers: silicone and saline. Each has it’s own distinct advantages and should be chosen based on the desired results. The majority of women worldwide choose silicone as it is more natural looking and feeling.

Saline

Saline implants are filled with salt water. They are usually filled at the time of surgery, after the implant has been inserted into the breast. The benefit to saline implants is that they require a smaller incisions and are highly customizable.

Almost any volume of saline can be added, which will moderate the size and profile of the implant. If mild asymmetry exists between your left and right breast, the volume of saline injected into your right and left implant can be moderated, thereby evening things out.

A disadvantage to saline is that they are sometimes more prone to rippling and wrinkling, as well as feeling firmer and less like natural breast tissue. Some women have reported that if you over-fill the saline implant there will be less rippling, but will also feel more firm.

Silicone

Implants that are made out of silicone tend to feel more natural due to the material they are made out of. However, they are only available in pre-existing sizes and cannot be modified in any way during surgery. You can opt for a softer or harder feel by selecting a silicone implant that has a lower or higher density fill to it.

Finding the Best Breast Implants For You

Having breast augmentation surgery is a big deal and the decisions that happen before the surgery should not be rushed. Taking the time to figure out what results you want out of the surgery will help you make a well-informed decision about the size and shape of your implants.

One of the best pieces of advice we give to patients is to trust your doctor. Of course you obviously know what you want and what you think is best for you, but an experienced surgeon will be able to show you examples of how certain implant sizes and shapes look on people with your similar body type or build, and will be able to help you make a decision.

You should never select your implants based on how another woman looks. You should choose what is right for you, and your body. The last thing you want to do is to have to go through the surgery process all over again because you weren’t happy the first time around.

smaller breasts remove implants

Why Are More Women Wanting Smaller Breasts?

Breast Augmentation

Breast implant removal or downsizing is quickly becoming more popular among women today. This shift reflects changing beauty standards, health considerations, and lifestyle choices.

In recent years, many women have decided to remove or downsize their breast implants. This trend is driven by a desire for a more natural look, health concerns, and lifestyle changes.

20-30 years ago, large breast implants were all the rage. Everyone wanted large (sometimes comically large) breast implants to help them stand out amongst the crowd. As times change and people become more active and physically fit, large breast implants can hinder certain activities and lifestyle choices.

And while, in a small percentage of cases, breast implants do rupture or cause problems over the years, the majority of women opting to remove aging breast implants today are doing so for more personal reasons.

Today, we are able to monitor and evaluate the health of aging breast implants within the body and can use that information to help determine if we feel there are risks associated with leaving an implant in. Thankfully, from what we’ve seen, 80-85% of 20+ year old breast implants are still just as healthy as they were on the day they were implanted. So most patients undergoing procedures to remove or downsize the size of their breast implants are doing so to accommodate their changing lifestyles.

Common Reasons for Wanting Smaller Breasts

While there are many different reasons for wanting to remove your breast implants or reduce the size of your implants, we’ve found these to be the most common ones amongst our patients.

Lifestyle Changes

Many women today lead active lifestyles and prefer smaller, more natural-looking breasts that don’t hinder their physical activities. Whether it’s yoga, running, or simply leading a busy life, smaller breasts can make it easier to stay active and comfortable.

Desire for Natural Appearance

The cultural trend is shifting towards a more natural and proportionate body shape. Unlike the 90s, when larger breasts were more popular, today’s beauty standards favor a balanced and natural look. This change is evident in Dr. Adams’ practice, where patients seek a look that complements their body shape and allows them to remain active.

Health Concerns

Aging implants can lead to various health issues, with capsular contracture being a common concern. This condition involves the hardening of the scar tissue around the implant, causing discomfort and sometimes pain. Women are increasingly opting to remove or downsize their implants to avoid such complications and maintain better overall health.

Impact of Smaller Breasts on Physical Activity

Exercise and Sports

Large breast implants can make physical activities challenging. Many women find that smaller implants or no implants at all make it easier to engage in sports and exercise. This change not only improves their physical performance but also their overall well-being.

Daily Comfort

Daily tasks can become more comfortable with smaller breasts. Activities such as sleeping, bending, and even wearing certain types of clothing are often easier with a more natural breast size.

Demographic Trends – Breast Size

Age Group

Women aged 35-50 are the most likely to seek implant removal or downsizing. This age group often experiences lifestyle changes, such as having children or becoming more health-conscious, prompting the desire for smaller, more manageable breasts.

Removing larger breast implants after having children or losing weight can also be complimented by a breast lift or reshaping. This helps to bring a more supple, natural look to the breasts, while reducing sagging that comes from aging, child birth, or weight loss.

Celebrity Influence

Public figures and celebrities who have opted for smaller implants also influence this trend. Their choices often inspire everyday women to follow suit and choose a more natural look. Many celebrities who have had larger breast implants in the past have publicly come out and said they’ve removed their implants entirely or opted for smaller ones as the years have gone by.

Psychological and Emotional Factors

Body Image Satisfaction

Many women experience improved self-confidence and body image after downsizing or removing their implants. A more natural look can lead to greater body positivity and satisfaction.

Personal Comfort and Confidence

The comfort and confidence gained from having smaller breasts can significantly enhance a woman’s quality of life. Whether it’s feeling more comfortable in their clothing or more confident in social situations, the benefits are substantial.

Breast Augmentation Surgical Considerations

Procedure Details

The process of removing or downsizing breast implants involves careful planning and consultation. Dr. Adams uses immersive consultations with 3D scanning technology to show patients what they can expect before and after the procedure. This approach helps ensure that patients are fully informed and comfortable with their decision.

Recovery and Risks

Dr. Adams’ unique 24-hour fast track recovery process allows patients to be more active just a day after surgery. This method minimizes downtime and helps patients quickly return to their normal activities. While the risks are similar to those of regular augmentation, the recovery time is typically shorter, making the procedure more appealing.

Should You Remove Your Breast Implants?

The trend towards removing or downsizing breast implants reflects a broader shift in beauty standards, health awareness, and lifestyle choices. Women today seek a natural, proportionate look that complements their active lives.

With advances in surgical techniques and recovery processes, like those offered by Dr. Adams, more women are finding it easier to make this change and enjoy the benefits it brings.

ozempic face weight loss

What is Ozempic Face and is Ozempic Safe?

Non-Surgical

One of the most popular weight loss drugs on the market right now is Ozempic. Ozempic is the brand name for a drug that uses the active ingredient semaglutide to help you lose weight. Originally developed and prescribed as a diabetes drug, Ozempic patients noticed significant weight loss while taking the drug, which has led to more people using the drug to try and help them slim down.

While Ozempic is not FDA approved for treating weight loss, studies have shown that it can be a safe and effective way to help manage your weight.

Another semaglutide medication, Wegovy, has been FDA approved for weight loss use, and uses a higher concentration of the active ingredient. The level of the active ingredients and the usage instructions are important when using a drug of this kind, so if you do choose to use a semaglutide medication for weight loss, but sure to talk to your doctor so they can prescribe you the correct brand and dosage for your needs.

Is Ozempic Too Good to Be True?

While many people out there swear by Ozempic and other semaglutide drugs, there are many skeptics out there that claim that it can’t be good for you, and that a weight loss drug like this must come with severe side effects.

The truth of the matter is, there have been many studies on these drugs and while their overall use has been approved by the FDA for weight loss, these drugs are still not for everyone.

If you’re just looking to shed a few pounds to make yourself look better, and don’t have any underlying health problems due to your weight, then these drugs might not be the answer.

Yes, they can help you lose weight, but the side effects and possible complications may not be worth it for some people.

Who is Ozempic Prescribed For?

Typically, Ozempic should only be prescribed for people suffering from Type 2 diabetes, or early signs of diabetes. The drug is designed to manage blood glucose levels and increase insulin levels when your body needs them. It can also reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver. 

Wegovy, the semaglutide FDA approved for weight loss, is typically prescribed to people that are obese and have a BMI over 30 or those with a BMI over 27 who also suffer from other health issues related to their weight.

So really, these drugs are not designed for the person wanting to lose 10 pounds for the summer, but more so to help those people suffering from health issues related to their obesity, lose weight.

Of course that’s not always going to be the case, and people across the world have been using both drugs to help them shed a few pounds when eating and exercising don’t seem to be working for them. However, if most people would just treat their bodies correctly, they could probably shed the weight without the use of these drugs.

Is Ozempic Dangerous and What is Ozempic Face?

Ozempic and Wegovy do have certain side effects that may not be worth the risk if you’re just trying to lose a few pounds.

These side effects can be different for each person and it’s important to understand these side effects before taking the medication. The most common side effects are related to gastrointestinal issues, which makes sense since the drug affects the part of the brain that regulates eating, but there are other major side effects like thyroid tumors that could be worrisome (but keep in mind, those are rare).

“Ozempic Face” is another side effect that a lot of people have been talking about lately due to the fact that some celebrities that have used the drug have been seen with thinner faces and more sunken eyes, almost as if they are extremely sick.

While it may be true that these people using the drug are exhibiting these symptoms in their face, it’s not necessarily from the drug itself, it’s more so due to the sudden weight loss they are experiencing because of the drug use.

Even if you eat healthy and work out constantly, you’re going to end up losing weight across your entire body, which includes your face. So, your face is going to change with any sudden weight loss over a shorter period of time.

So, while people may be concerned about developing “Ozempic Face” just by merely taking the drug itself, it’s more of a concern if you start losing a ton of weight in a quick amount of time. Be cautious when losing a lot of weight quickly, no matter what the method, as it could lead to this, almost sickly, looking facial features if you’re not careful.

Why Shouldn’t I Take Ozempic?

One of the things people don’t realize about taking Ozempic for weight loss, is that once you start taking it and seeing the results, you’ll most likely have to continue to take the drug for a long time in order to maintain that weight loss.

Many people who have lost weight on Ozempic have tried to stop taking it, only to notice that the weight they lost then begins to return.

It’s also important that you also exercise while on Ozempic. Strength training and weightlifting are important as Ozempic, while burning fat away, is also burning away lean muscle. This is also another reason why people notice their facial features changing slightly while on the drug. They are losing the muscle in their face in addition to the fat they wanted to burn.

Keeping up with weight training and strengthening at the gym, will help you maintain a healthy muscle percentage in your body and will help you stay strong and less tired.

Ozempic and Weight Loss

Ozempic and Wegovy are great products for those that suffer from health issues related to their weight. It can literally save people’s lives by helping obese people lose fat and allow their body to return to a healthy weight, which can help alleviate disease and other health related issues they may be suffering from.

Of course, It’s always going to be used by people who don’t necessarily need it and are only using the drug to shed a few pounds for their beach vacations. But just be careful if you do decide to use it. Talk with your doctor and see if semaglutide drugs are right for you. Your doctor will be able to best advise you on the pros and cons of the drugs and can help you make the right decision for your body.

Everyone wants to lose a little weight, but putting your overall health at risk for a couple pounds is probably not the best idea.
