Tight skin is just part of what makes a face beautiful, according to Board-certified Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Ary Krau. In the past, the facelift procedure only focused on tightening the skin of the face. The results were usually not ideal - patients ended up with a pulled back look, with their earlobes fastened to the side of the face. Dr. Krau describes the results of the old style of facelift as having a patient look as though she has been in a wind tunnel for several days.

Dr. Ary Krau has been selected to join the 2013 LEAD Program Advisory Board. The board, which selects only 35 surgeons annually, helps shape the future of cosmetic surgery techniques and products in the U.S. and abroad.

The breast lift techniques used by surgeons in the past and, in some cases, today should be obsolete, according to Dr. Ary Krau, a Miami-based Board-certified plastic surgeon. Older techniques rely on the skin to support the breasts, which proves to be inferior to using the actual tissue of the breast for lift and support. Using the skin to lift the breasts was fine and good in the past, but Dr. Krau doesn't consider it to be a great operation. Skin stretches and, over time, the breasts will begin to lose fullness if there are no changes made to the actual tissue itself. A breast lift that relies on the skin for structure and support will also have a lot of tension placed on the scars. Dr. Krau's breast lift technique places minimal tension on the skin. The method focuses on the actual breast, not the skin around the breasts. There are several benefits to the new method. For example, the surgeon needs to make fewer incisions in the breast area. The new method also actually shapes the tissue of the breast, rather than leaving the breast tissue as is and letting the skin do the work. Dr. Krau compares the results that occur with his revolutionary breast lift technique to the process of liposuction. During a liposuction procedure, excess fat is taken out of the body. If a person's skin still has enough elasticity, it soon molds and shapes itself around the new contour of the body. The result is a seamless new look. The same is true when the tissue of the breast is lifted, not the skin. The skin contours itself around the new shape of the breast. In Dr. Krau's mind, the long horizontal scar that is common with older surgical methods should be a thing of the past. His methods typically leave just a scar around the areola, and a vertical scar, or in very rare cases, a short horizontal scar.

Deciding whether or not to have plastic surgery – or any surgery – isn’t something to be taken lightly.

Dr. Krau is skilled in a wide range of procedures, including face lifts, breast lifts and augmentation, fat transfer, neck lifts, rhinoplasty and body contouring. Over the past decade, more men and women have been turning to plastic surgery than ever before, both to remain competitive in the workforce and simply to feel better about themselves. In fact, several studies have shown that feeling good about how you look is closely linked with how you feel about your life in general: One recent European study of more than 500 plastic surgery patients found that even a year after surgery, men and women who underwent surgery felt happier and reported higher levels of self-esteem as a result of surgery. Thanks to advances in equipment and technology and the introduction of new, minimally invasive techniques, plastic surgery procedures have become safer, more effective and less costly – and that means there’s no reason for anyone to look older than they feel.
