Many women obsess over them. They're too big, too small, one is bigger than the other, one is higher than the other, they sag, the nipples are too big, the nipples are too small. We stand in front of the mirror for hours, staring, sighing, wishing they were different.

It may not be possible to have absolutely perfect breasts. But, with breast augmentation surgery we can have our dreams come true. Women who have been "flattened" after childbearing can have fuller breasts once again, removing the emotional distress they may feel. There are many painful things in life; feeling bad about our breasts should not be one of them.

Of all the cosmetic surgery procedures, breast augmentation rates among the highest on the satisfaction list. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2006, as many as 329,396 women had breast augmentation, making it the most popular cosmetic procedure. There are rarely any serious complications. In fact, the most common complaint is that women wish they had gone bigger! more

As our days get longer and temperatures begin to climb, off go the sweaters and boots and on go the shorts and sandals.

But while your spirit may be singing the praises of spring, it's also likely your skin is still crying out with the winter blues -- dry, scaly, rough spots as well as stressed-out, overheated, undernourished skin on your face.

The good news: Beautiful, summer-sweet skin is closer than the nearest watermelon patch! The best place to start, says Lisa Bostjancic, Certified Medical Aesthetician and Paramedical Specialist, is with an in-office treatment.

At Acqua Blu we have four fabulous treatments; Medicalia LPS Peel, Maui Peel, Microdermabrasion Facial, and Apple Wine Peel. Each treatment combines top-performing ingredients to deliver a total skin smoothing experience.

Medicalia LPS Peel offers the proven benefits of L+Lactic Acid to exfoliate dead cells and provide moisture, Pyruvic Acid to stimulate cell turnover, and Salicylic Acid for oil-controlling effects.

Experience a tropical skin-vacation with our Maui Peel. A nutritious blend of pineapple extracts, L+Lactic Acid and Enzymes to smooth, soften and nourish the skin. The wonderful aroma of pineapple is a great beginning to this tropical skin-vacation. The yam extract in this facial will benefit the skin and protect it from the aging effects of the sun.

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive solution that revitalizes your skin's appearance by removing dead and flaking skin cells and stimulating the production of fresh young skin cells and collagen. The treatment is relatively painless, quick, and does not require "downtime." You are immediately left with newer, softer skin and a more even skin texture.

Apple Wine facial is a lively, full-bodied facial promising an intoxicating firming, toning and anti-aging finish to the skin. The star ingredient of this facial is red wine vinegar taken from the juice of red grapes and fermented until it becomes wine. L-Malic Acid and L-Ascorbic Acid also provide immediate benefits for the skin.

At Premier Plastic Surgery, we use the most advanced liposuction techniques to sculpt your ideal body. These advances have made the safest cosmetic operation even safer. Results are both immediate and exceptional.

Distinctly different
Newer body contouring techniques gently liquefy fat and remove it from surrounding tissue. Using controlled ultrasonic energy to precisely target fatty deposits in problem areas, Drs. Heil and Johns can literally sculpt your new shape. These techniques are so gentle they can be used in the most sensitive, delicate areas of the body.

Small incisions
Obviously better for aesthetic reasons, smaller incisions tend to heal faster. You can expect to be back to your routine in a few days.

Shelly, a Premier patient who underwent breast augmentation, tells it this way:

"Before becoming a mother I was pretty satisfied with my figure. My breasts were a 34B, not too big. In a push-up bra they were "okay." In fact, they were cute when I was in my twenties.

"Now I am over forty. I have three children, and after the rigors of breastfeeding and childrearing my breasts hung down to my waist. I decided do something about it.

"Well, if you tend to be nervous about these things like I do, forget that for a moment. Prepare to be thrilled! Take that nervous energy and re-channel it into excitement. I remember looking at my 'before' photos and could not believe I waited so long.

"It has been one year since my surgery, and I can honestly say, I am glad I did it. I feel feminine once again. I look beautiful. I can finally wear dresses without a bra, and I'm proud of how I look in a bikini.

"But, my advice to you is if you are considering breast augmentation, do it for no one else but yourself. Your feelings are what counts. New breasts won't make a relationship better. New breasts will not bring you love. So never, never get breasts to please a husband, boyfriend, or significant other. Change your breast size only for yourself. Weigh the facts and make the best decision for you."
