If you’re in the process of scheduling a breast augmentation or breast enlargement procedure with one of the world famous surgeons in Miami, Florida, chances are you’re extremely excited about being one step closer to your new and improved breasts! Before you go under the knife, however, it is important that you know what to expect after your procedure, especially when it comes to scarring.
Scarring is generally expected after breast augmentation surgery, even if your procedure will be done in one of the plastic surgery capitals of the world. Surgeons usually insert implants through either an incision around the areola, underneath the armpit, or underneath the breasts. Therefore, you should expect to experience some type of scarring at the point of insertion or incision area. While some surgeons will perform a less scar prone procedure known as TUBA in which implants are inserted up through the belly button area, this is extremely rare.
The good news is that breast augmentation surgery scars often heal very well, and when they don’t, you will have options for treating and camouflaging them. Depending on your body’s chemistry, your incision scar might show up in the form of either a raised scar, an area of hyperpigmentation, or an area of hypopigmentation. If you happen to be one of the many women who suffer from hypopigmentation around the areola after a breast augmentation, paramedical tattooing or areola coloring will help. To learn more, consult with the experts at the Melany Center for Permanent Cosmetics.

Unsightly scars whittle away at a person’s self-esteem and self-confidence. Even small scars loom large if they are visible to others. But a scar doesn’t have to be readily visible to diminish a person’s enjoyment of life. Embarrassment about a scar can cause people to change the way they dress to keep their scar hidden from view. Some people avoid physical activities that might expose their scar. Other people are so cognizant of their scar that it interferes with their desire to socialize, potentially leading to unhealthy isolation. Worst of all, a scar can shake a person’s confidence in his or her appearance and make the individual feel ugly and repulsive.

You’ve probably seen the television ad for a men’s hair coloring product where two corporate types are discussing job applicants. One points to a younger man with dark hair and says, “We need his energy.” His colleague points to a gray-haired man, saying, “Yes, but we need his experience.” Of course, (this is a commercial, after all) the solution is a “touch of gray,” implying that with a little hair color a man can appear to offer the best of both worlds.
Typical TV hype? Sure, but with a strong current of truth. The job market and corporate ladder have never been more dog-eat-dog than they are today. Looking fit, attractive and a bit younger than your years gives men a crucial competitive edge in today’s work place. A youthful appearance makes you appear more energetic and vital; people think you still have what it takes to “get the job done.” Men who have tuned into this new reality are using plastic surgery, hair transplants and permanent makeup to improve their appearance and give themselves a leg up in the business world.
Unfortunately, facelift and hair transplant procedures often leave telltale scars, negating the natural appearance hoped for. Paramedical tattooing by a highly skilled permanent makeup artist like Melany Whitney can camouflage facelift or transplant harvesting scars, hide bald patches in the scalp or beard, thicken eyebrows to give you a more commanding appearance and more.

People call it the “Country Club” ear scar; those pale white scars visible in front of, under and behind the ears that shout, “I’VE HAD PLASTIC SURGERY!” Ear scars are particularly noticeable at country clubs and tennis clubs where women put their hair up into ponytails before hitting the courts or laying around the pool. People who have facelifts certainly don’t want to shout it to the world, yet those telltale ear scars are a dead giveaway. Some embarrassed women stop wearing ponytails on the tennis courts or updos when they attend elegant social affairs.
Ear scarring occurs when plastic surgeons stretch facial skin toward the ears to make it taut, suturing it into place. While the fastest, most common facelift technique, it leaves obvious scarring around the ear. New plastic surgery facelift techniques repair facial muscles instead of stretching the skin. Not only does muscle repair result in a longer-lasting more effective facelift, it doesn’t leave ear scars; instead, incisions are made under the chin where they won’t be visible after recovery.
Fortunately, there is a cure for embarrassing “Country Club” ear scars. Paramedical tattooing performed by an expert permanent makeup artist can camouflage unsightly ear scars caused by plastic surgery. Using micropigmentation techniques, permanent makeup artists can color scar tissue so that it blends perfectly with surrounding facial skin tones, effectively making scars “disappear.” With permanent makeup, women and men who have had facelifts can enjoy their new-found youthful good looks with confidence.

Dove is chipping away at America’s idealistic views about beauty, doing its part to show that each of us is beautiful in our own way. Dove used the Super Bowl to tackle stereotypes about men’s grooming. Using the tag line “Be Comfortable in Your Own Skin,” Dove used buff athletic men to portray moisturizing and skin care as a healthy way for a man to nurture his body.
For centuries men took a bare bones approach to grooming. A shower and a shave was the male standard. In the 1800s, male grooming products were introduced at upscale barbershops and men’s clubs, but were sneered at by the Joe on the street. With the exception of hair pomades which faded in and out of style and were considered more of a necessity than a matter of vanity, male toiletries comprised an extremely thin market through the 1950s. The 1960s sexual revolution heralded a turning point in male grooming standards. By the 1960s men’s toiletries had become a fast growing market, although selection was still limited to basics like shaving cream, hair gel and aftershave.
It wasn’t until 2000 that male fragrances exploded onto the cosmetics market, opening the door to skin care and other grooming products designed specifically for men. Today most men take as much care in their appearance as women and many turn to permanent cosmetics to enhance their appearance, camouflage scars or correct flawed features.

Childhood accidents happen. A fall off a bike, a collision with a wildly thrown baseball, a skateboard trick gone wrong — as your mom will tell you, kids are an accident waiting to happen. Some accidents leave scars, little white lines or puckers on knees and chins, badges of a youth well spent. A defining scar on the chin of a handsome movie star may add to his on-screen allure, but many people consider those childhood scars unsightly blemishes that mar their appearance.
You may have to live with the memories of the accident that created a scar, but you no longer have to live with the scar. Permanent cosmetic micropigmentation can permanently camouflage scars and restore your confidence in your appearance. Scars and skin imperfections resulting from childhood (or adult) accidents, injuries, burns and surgery can be camouflaged using paramedical cosmetic tattooing. Artfully applied micropigmentation can break up scar tissue and color it to more perfectly match and blend with your natural skin tone, making the scar disappear from sight.
Nationally renowned permanent makeup artist and paramedical tattoo expert Melany Whitney regularly receives referrals from prominent plastic surgeons and physicians to assist their patients. Melany has perfected scar camouflage micropigmentation and paramedical tattooing techniques that allow patients to reclaim their natural beauty.
