Capsular contracture is one of the known risks of breast implants, and over time, it can significantly change the way your breasts look and feel.
In this case, our patient believed she had a ruptured implant, but during surgery, @dr.lee_htx found severe capsular contracture on both sides. The scar tissue surrounding each implant had tightened over the years, compressing the implants, changing their shape, and causing noticeable distortion.
Capsular contracture is essentially an internal scar that forms around the implant. As it contracts, it can lead to firmness, discomfort, pain, and visible changes in the appearance of the breasts.
Dr. Lee performed a bilateral implant exchange along with a breast lift to restore a softer, more natural shape.
While breast implants are durable, we always want to remind our patients that they are not lifetime devices. We recommend maintaining regular follow-ups with your plastic surgeon and evaluating your implants over time, especially as you approach the 10-year mark. These evaluations can help identify changes before they become more significant.
⏱️ In-office surgical consultation required
💉 Performed under general anesthesia
📆 Recovery plan tailored to procedure’s complexity and patient’s goals

Can you can see a gradual refinement through this patient’s midsection? His abdomen appears flatter, his waistline more defined, and the lower belly less prominent. Rather than changing his body entirely, CoolSculpting helped target stubborn fat to create a more balanced, sculpted contour.
CoolSculpting Elite is a non-surgical treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze stubborn fat cells. Those treated fat cells are then naturally eliminated by your body over the following weeks and months. Because results develop gradually, they look natural and continue to improve over time.
Stubborn fat doesn’t always respond to diet and exercise, and especially during the summer, most of us are busy and on the go. That’s exactly where CoolSculpting can help - it’s a quick treatment that requires no downtime and targets those areas you show more of in the summer. Through August 31, enjoy $150 off each CoolSculpting treatment cycle with @laserexperthouston or @luxeskinbymari.

UV rays don’t take days off. 🌤️
If you’re poolside, on the boat, or just running errands around town, daily SPF is the one skincare step you shouldn’t skip.

Choosing between XERF and UltraClear? Here’s what you should know when deciding if one or the other, or both, are for you:
✨ XERF uses advanced radiofrequency technology to tighten skin with virtually no downtime. Most patients notice an early lift after their first treatment, with continued improvement over time. We typically recommend a series of two treatments spread 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
✨ UltraClear combines skin resurfacing with advanced coring technology to improve texture, tone, pigmentation, and skin laxity. It does involve more downtime, but for the right patient, the results can be transformative.
Randy has availability for complimentary consultations starting Monday, July 24th. DM or call us to book!

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Fourth of July! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
What do you think… which side did we treat first with XERF?!

Fuller lips by the Fourth? 🇺🇸 Yes, please!
Cellulite is more common than you probably think. In fact, it’s estimated that 80–90% of women have cellulite and many want to address it in some way. If you’ve ever wished there was a treatment designed to treat it at the source, meet Aveli.
Unlike creams, massage, or energy-based treatments, Aveli is a minimally invasive procedure done by board certified plastic surgeon, @dr.lee_htx, that targets the structural cause of cellulite by releasing the fibrous bands beneath the skin. It’s a one-time treatment designed specifically for cellulite on the buttocks and thighs, with results that last.

I spent the weekend in Scottsdale attending the @ssrpinstitute Peptide World Congress and learning about the latest advancements in peptide therapy, regenerative medicine, and longevity. One of the things I love most about this field is that there’s always something new to learn, giving me the opportunity to stay current, grow as a provider, and bring the best possible options back to my patients at Nuveau.
Stay tuned, I’ll be offering some new services very soon! 👀

👔 As we head into Father’s Day weekend, we want to remind everyone that investing in your skin isn’t just for the ladies.
After just 2 BBL + MOXI treatments, our patient is already seeing noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall skin quality:
• Reduced redness and discoloration
• Brighter, more even-looking skin
• Smoother texture
• A healthier, refreshed appearance
Years of sun exposure can take a toll on your skin, but treatments like BBL + MOXI can help restore a clearer, more youthful-looking complexion.
Happy Father’s Day weekend to all the dads we know and love!

One of the biggest tips we give our XERF patients? Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.💧
Our patient, Dr. Mitchell, recently completed her first XERF treatment and described the experience as virtually painless. One of the reasons? She followed our pre-treatment instructions and came in well hydrated.
Because XERF uses radiofrequency energy, proper hydration can help optimize both comfort during treatment and your skin’s response afterward.
She’ll be back in about a month for treatment number two, and we are so excited to watch her results continue to develop. While each patient has different goals for their skin and body, most patients benefit from two treatments.
