Eyebrow Microblading

Get Started

Semi-Permanent Makeup

With Eyebrow Microblading, you can enjoy beautifully shaped, natural-looking brows created by single hair strokes that resemble small natural hairs for a fuller finish. Microblading, which is also popularly known as 3D brows or eyebrow embroidery, is a newly emerging, manual tattoo method that is considered to be semi-permanent as opposed to the traditional technique performed by machine.

Personalized Breast Implant Surgery with Dr. John Aker and Dr. Di Beckman—Breast Implants Designed Around Your Shape, Proportions, and Goals

Whether you want to restore fullness or enhance your proportions, breast augmentation can be tailored to your desired outcome and unique anatomy. At My Plastic Surgery Group, Dr. John Aker and Dr. Di Beckman provide personalized breast augmentation for patients in Carmel, Indianapolis, and throughout Central Indiana.

From implant selection to surgical technique, your procedure is carefully planned around you. Options include our Hidden Scar Breast Augmentation technique, which avoids an incision on the breast, as well as the inframammary fold approach.

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses implants to increase breast volume. It can enhance small breasts, replace volume lost after pregnancy or weight changes, improve breast proportions, and improve symmetry.

Because every patient is different, your surgeon will consider your breast and chest measurements, existing tissue, skin, lifestyle, and cosmetic goals when developing your treatment plan.

Who Is a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation candidates must be in good general health, have fully developed breasts, and have realistic expectations for the procedure’s outcome. Since pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect breast size and shape, patients often choose to wait until their family is complete to undergo this surgery to avoid compromising their results and a potential need for a revision procedure. 

If breast sagging is a concern, implants alone may not provide the result you are looking for. In those cases, your surgeon may recommend a breast lift or discuss combining a lift with augmentation.

A consultation with one of our surgeons is the best way to find out if you are a candidate. In addition to learning about what you want to achieve, answering any questions you may have, and performing an examination, your surgeon will review your health history and medications to determine if breast augmentation is the right option for you.

Questions & Answers with Dr. Aker

What is eyebrow microblading?

Eyebrow Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo in hair strokes. This technique is performed by using a hand-tool which holds disposable microblades.

How does it differ from micropigmentation tattooing?

With Microblading, the pigment is NOT injected into the dermis. Using the hand-held microblade, the color is deposited closer to the surface of the skin.

Does it hurt?

A topical numbing cream will be applied prior to the procedure making it relatively painless.

How does it work?

Pigment is deposited into your skin using tiny cuts (like paper cuts) with the microblade. Your trained provider can create crisp hair strokes that look like your natural eyebrow hair.

How long does the pigmentation last?

Everyone is different. Everyone’s skin heals differently also. Eyebrow Microblading tends to last between 12-24 months. When needed, a color boost or refresh is available.

How much does it cost?

Eyebrow Microblading is $750.

The Specifics

Microblading Details

Microblading Process

Microblading will create a more natural, hair-like brow shape. The providers at My Plastic Surgery Group will make a custom-shaped eyebrow that will match each client’s facial features and skin tone. This is completely custom done and no templates are used. Microblading is a special technique that creates natural-looking, perfectly sculpted eyebrows specifically for each person. Microblading can last for up to two years, offering natural, beautiful eyebrows created with rich colors.

Good Candidates

Good candidates for eyebrow microblading are individuals who want fuller, more defined, or more symmetrical brows with natural-looking results. It may be especially beneficial for those with sparse or thinning brows, uneven growth, or anyone who wants to simplify their daily makeup routine. During your consultation, our team will assess your skin, brows, and aesthetic goals to determine whether microblading is the right choice for you.

Microblading Results & Recovery

Following eyebrow microblading, you may experience mild redness, tenderness, or slight swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. Your brows may initially appear darker and more defined before gradually softening as the skin heals. Some flaking or scabbing is normal, and it is important to follow all aftercare instructions for optimal results. Once healed, microblading creates natural-looking, fuller brows, with a touch-up appointment often recommended to refine and maintain your results.

Breast Augmentation FAQs

How much does breast augmentation cost in Indianapolis?

The price of breast enhancement in the Indianapolis area varies based on the specifics of the procedure. When determining total breast augmentation cost, we factor in the cost of the implants, the specific techniques utilized, the total time required to complete the procedure, and many other aspects of the surgery. A detailed cost estimate will be provided during your consultation once your surgical plan has been created. 

Financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit, and PatientFi for qualified patients.

What is “rippling”?

It is common to feel a slight “crinkly” sensation along the breast fold where the implant comes closest to the surface. In very slender women, there may be visible wrinkling on the skin surface. It is more commonly observed with saline than with silicone gel implants and can occur in different areas of the breast.

Is over-the-muscle or under-the-muscle breast implant placement better?

The breast implant pocket can be either directly behind the breast tissue or behind the pectoral muscle which is behind the breast tissue. Dr. Aker prefers to place the implant behind the pectoral muscle to give the upper breast a more natural slope and graceful appearance.

Will breast augmentation improve sagging breasts?

While limited breast sagging is frequently corrected by breast augmentation, a breast lift may be required for greater degrees of drooping.

What are the most common complications after breast augmentation?

A common short-term issue is temporary changes in nipple sensation. A temporary tight sensation in the armpit may also occur when the endoscopic technique is performed.

Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices and may need to be replaced after 10 to 15 years. Regular follow-up with your surgeon can help monitor your implants and address any issues if they occur.

How do I choose the right breast implant size?

Choosing the right implant size depends on your body proportions and desired outcome. We guide you through the process to ensure a natural, balanced result.

What is the difference between silicone and saline implants?

Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel, while saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. We help you select the option that best fits your goals and anatomy during your consultation.

Is it possible to combine breast augmentation with other procedures?

Absolutely. Breast augmentation surgery is frequently combined with tummy tuck surgery or breast lift surgery for a “mommy makeover” to address pregnancy-related changes in breast and body contours.

Do saline implants last longer than gel implants?

The failure rate over time is about the same.

Could I lose nipple sensation after my breast augmentation?

It is very unlikely to permanently lose sensation. It is common to have temporary increased or decreased sensation.

If I gain weight, will my implants look different?

This varies from woman to woman. Some women experience significant changes in breast size with weight fluctuations, while others notice very little change.

I’ve heard my implants might “settle”. What does that mean?

Shortly after surgery, the implants tend to “ride high” due to spasm of the muscle. Over the weeks following surgery, the muscle and breast tissue relax, allowing the implant to descend into a more natural position. This process is called “settling”.

How soon will I be able to return to work?

For less physical job requirements, patients can usually return to work after 3–5 days, while those with more physically demanding jobs may need 5–7 days.

Will my breast implants interfere with a mammogram?

Women with breast implants can continue to have routine mammograms. Because implants can make some breast tissue more difficult to see, additional views or special imaging techniques may be used to obtain a thorough examination. Be sure to let the mammography facility know that you have breast implants when scheduling your appointment so they can plan accordingly.

Will my scars be noticeable after my surgery?

If the endoscopic technique is used, there will be no scar on the breast at all. With the inframammary approach, there will be visible scars in the crease under the breast, though they fade significantly over time.

Can I breastfeed after I have breast augmentation surgery?

Many women are able to breastfeed after breast augmentation. However, it is not possible to predict with certainty how breastfeeding will be affected. Your surgeon can discuss this with you in more detail based on your procedure and future plans for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
