What are the indications for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?

High blood pressure, fatty liver, and addictive tendencies are indications for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. Weight loss generally reduces blood pressure and the need for medication. Tirzepatide is used to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and is as effective or more effective than insulin. Semaglutide helps curb addictive behaviors.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of saline vs. silicone implants?

Silicone gel implants are softer, more natural, and feel more like a woman's natural breast, and have less chance of firmness. However, silent ruptures of silicone implants are not always picked up on a mammogram, and often an MRI is needed. Saline implants have the advantage of using smaller incisions, and the biggest advantage for most women is peace of mind because the body can easily get rid of the saline if there is a leak or rupture. A disadvantage of saline implants is that you wake up one day with a flat tire compared to a slow leak.

What is the LiteLift® and what are its benefits?

The LiteLift® is an alternative to the traditional facelift that lifts in a specific direction, significantly improves the cheek area, and shifts volume from a dropped position back up to the cheek. It also does a better job on the nasolabial fold compared to a traditional lift. It’s “lite” on incisions and downtime, but big on natural looking results. Dr. Nichter's practice has been performing the LiteLift for nearly 20 years and for hundreds of happy patients.
