WOW!!! I had some pretty high expectations for the results of both surgeries... and all were met, and most exceeded by quite a bit. For example: 1. At his recommendation, both the size and material used in the implant exchange were changed. The difference is amazing. Not only do they look completely natural and feel very soft, pliable and bouncy, thanks to the "body artist" he really is, Dr. Vitenas selected the... &lt;br&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/07-22-09/breast-augmentation-liposuction.html"&gt;Comments(0)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/07-22-09/breast-augmentation-liposuction.html</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Jul 2009 20:52:18 GMT</pubDate><category domain="http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/">Breast Augmentation</category><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/07-22-09/breast-augmentation-liposuction.html</guid></item><item><title>Vaginoplasty</title><description>Kristi and Dr Vitenas, 
I was very pleased with the vaginoplasty performed by Dr Vitenas in March. You might remember that I was the patient who chose to go without sedation and then drove myself home to the Beaumont area. I returned to work the next day. Of course, I was fairly tender and sore for several weeks, but I pretty much went about my usual activities. 
During the vaginoplasty procedure, I was nervous and talked up a storm with all of the staff in the room. I shared with ya'll that my husband had... &lt;br&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/06-18-09/vaginoplasty.html"&gt;Comments(0)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/06-18-09/vaginoplasty.html</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:29:08 GMT</pubDate><category domain="http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/Vaginoplasty">Vaginoplasty</category><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/06-18-09/vaginoplasty.html</guid></item><item><title>Titan</title><description>My face needs a lift; An alternative to Surgery

Sagging. Drooping. Jowls. Aged. If these words can be used to describe the way you look and feel, you might have started thinking about what to do about it. Facelift comes to mind, but maybe you are too young for a facelift. Maybe you aren’t ready to go under the knife. Maybe the cost of a full face lift is eating at you. Could be that you just don’t have the option for all the downtime. Whatever the reason, it still doesn’t shade the fact that you want to... &lt;br&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/06-12-09/titan.html"&gt;Comments(0)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/06-12-09/titan.html</link><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:58:59 GMT</pubDate><category domain="http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/Facelift">Facelift</category><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/06-12-09/titan.html</guid></item><item><title>Labiaplasty</title><description>I recently had these procedures done with Dr. Vitenas and I am so amazed with the results! I have had two children and I am 45 years old. I feel like a twenty year old again! I am very pleased with the appearance in a swimsuit. The surgery&amp;nbsp;actually has a&amp;nbsp;very quick recovery time. My surgery was on a Friday and I was back to work by Tuesday. You have to wait six weeks for sexual activity, and that is the only hard part of having the surgery. (But- well worth the wait!)

I recently went to his office to discuss breast augmentation. I have already seen the work of other Plastic Surgeons in Houston on my friends and was terrified of ever doing the procedure. Finally, for my 45th birthday present to myself I decided to have it done. I surfed the web and after studying all the before and after pics of patients I decided to go see him.

The procedure offers the advantage of improving skin tone and surface imperfections associated with aging, hormones, and photo damage from the sun.

The LimeLight facial is ideal for any part of your face, neck, and décolleté with skin redness, telangectasia (tiny veins) or brown spots.

Most of the time, we consider the symbiotic relationship between Botox and the array of fillers available, and suggest combining them.

It is important to understand the difference between Botox, a muscle relaxer, and Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and other fillers. If someone has a line that is apparent only when making an expression, Botox is often all that is necessary to correct it. Botox can be used to... &lt;br&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/07-08-08/cutting-out-the-knife---the-liquid-facelift.html#comments"&gt;Comments(1)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/07-08-08/cutting-out-the-knife---the-liquid-facelift.html</link><pubDate>Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:25:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/07-08-08/cutting-out-the-knife---the-liquid-facelift.html</guid></item><item><title>The Cosmetic Surgery Edge</title><description>Government statistics indicate that an increasing number of people are seeking cosmetic surgery in an attempt to get ahead or maintain their position in the workplace. Unfortunately, in these competitive times, age discrimination is all too common. But it is not just older people looking to become more competitive with their younger colleagues.

Today we have filler choices that can be very temporary, such as human-based collagen, and others that can last from one to several years, including highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and polymethylmethacrylate. Often, these fillers are layered to... &lt;br&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/05-08-08/with-all-of-the-options-available-now-how-do-i-choose-the-best-facial-filler.html"&gt;Comments(0)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/05-08-08/with-all-of-the-options-available-now-how-do-i-choose-the-best-facial-filler.html</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 May 2008 13:59:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/05-08-08/with-all-of-the-options-available-now-how-do-i-choose-the-best-facial-filler.html</guid></item><item><title>What is Vaginal Rejuvenation, and how do I know if I need it?</title><description>Many women are dissatisfied with the external appearance of the vaginal area. Vaginal rejuvenation refers to several different procedures which can be performed alone or in combinations. Aging occurs from head to toe. Both the natural aging process and childbirth can contribute to a loss of elasticity and tone in the vaginal canal which can result in lack of sexual pleasure. Vaginoplasty is a quick in-office procedure to remove excess vaginal tissue, decrease the size of the vaginal opening, and repair... &lt;br&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/05-08-08/what-is-vaginal-rejuvenation-and-how-do-i-know-if-i-need-it.html"&gt;Comments(0)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/05-08-08/what-is-vaginal-rejuvenation-and-how-do-i-know-if-i-need-it.html</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 May 2008 13:55:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.drvitenas.com/blog/05-08-08/what-is-vaginal-rejuvenation-and-how-do-i-know-if-i-need-it.html</guid></item></channel></rss>
