The most memorable moment of any wedding is the presentation of the bride. Spectators will eagerly await the moment you commence down the aisle with flawless grace. The event will be captured in memories and countless photographs. You want to look amazing and the pressure is mounting. Perfection isn’t possible but Dr. Erik Miles has the expertise to aid in your journey to bridal bliss. When you visit North Charlotte Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Miles will discuss which procedures can help transform you into the unforgettable bride of your dreams.
There are many surgical and non-surgical options available for a bridal makeover in Charlotte. It is important to schedule your consultation well in advance so Dr. Miles can determine the best procedures for you and provide the proper amount of healing time.
Which procedures will take the most time to heal?
Breast Augmentation – Breast surgery should be performed at least two months prior to your wedding day. If you wish to extenuate the way your wedding dress hugs your curves, breast augmentation may be the way to go. This option will allow you to increase your cup size and change the shape of your breasts. If you desire a smaller bosom, breast reduction surgery may be what you need to achieve the look you want. A breast lift will correct the position of your breasts.
Liposuction – To further enhance the look of your body in your form-fitting dress, Dr. Miles may suggest liposuction. Body contouring procedures will eliminate unwanted stubborn fat deposits, resistant to diet and exercise. Women with an excessive amount of abdominal fat (paunch) should consider a tummy tuck for the best outcome. This type of treatment should be completed at least three to four months before the big day.
Face Lift – An older bride or maybe mother of the bride or groom may benefit from a face lift. Dr. Miles offers traditional facelifts, limited incision facelifts, brow lift and neck lift surgery to improve the appearance of fine lines and sagging skin. Keep in mind, it may take several months for swelling to subside and pinkness from the incisions to normalize. Plan this procedure at least half a year in advance to ensure sufficient healing time. Non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments are also available but with less dramatic results.
What can be done closer to the wedding date?
The following procedures require little to no down time.
Permalip – For fuller, more voluptuous lips Dr. Miles offers lip implants made of innovative material designed specifically for lip augmentation. The implants are available in a collection of sizes. The doctor will decide which variety will work best for you to help you plump up your kisser.
Botox and Fillers – Patients who only need a quick touch up for early signs of aging are often satisfied with targeted Botox injections to quickly smooth out shallow lines. Treatments like Restylane and Juvederm are dermal fillers that plump up wrinkles and areas that have lost volume. Voluma and Sculptra are newer fillers used to restore youthful fullness in the cheek area.
Latisse – Most woman appreciate the beauty of long, thick eyelashes. Lash extensions have become more popular in recent years. Latisse is a non-surgical solution that promotes the growth of your natural lashes. In just a few short months the length, thickness and depth of color in your lashes will increase. Improvement will continue over several months and with regular continued use.
