Dermabrasion is Used to Improve the Look of Facial Skin
Dermabrasion is most often used to improve the look of facial skin left scarred by accidents or previous surgery, or to smooth out fine facial wrinkles, such as those around the mouth. It's also sometimes used to remove the pre-cancerous growths called keratoses. Dermaplaning is commonly used to treat deep acne scars.
Brachioplasty: The Procedure
What Can a Breast Augmentation do for You?
Breast Augmentation improves the size and appearance of the breasts. Women choose breast augmentation because they feel their breasts are too small, there is a discrepancy between the size of the breasts, or for further reconstruction following other breast surgery.
Upper Arm Lifts in Los Angeles
If you have unsightly sagging skin on the upper arms due to aging, genetics, or weight loss, you may be a candidate for upper arm lift. The procedure is intended to reduce or eliminate excess skin from the upper arms.
The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia. In order to remove the unwanted skin, an incision is required that runs from near the elbow into the armpit. The incision is placed in the most inconspicuous location (inner arm toward the back), but some scarring will always be visible.
After surgery, the upper arms are either wrapped or placed in an elastic sleeve to reduce swelling. Initial healing usually occurs in 10-14 days. Sutures are usually removed within the first 24 weeks. Swelling and bruising gradually disappear over 3-4 weeks. All swelling is gone in 3-6 months. The scars fade in 6-24 months depending on your skin. An additional procedure that may enhance the result is Liposuction of the upper arms.
This procedure is considered cosmetic and therefore is not covered by insurance. The patient is responsible for payment. The specific risks and the suitability of this procedure for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are unusual.

Get Rid of Stubborn Fat with Liposuction
While plastic surgeons encourage approaching liposuction from a state of good health, diet and exercise, they can effectively remove stubborn areas of fat that won't respond in any other way. Through a very tiny incision, which can be concealed, a plastic surgeon will place a tube deep beneath the skin. With a combination of ultrasound energy and suction, a plastic surgeon can remove and sculpt fatty layers. The liposuction they perform is usually circumferential which will tailor the area front to back and avoid any irregularities. Afterwards a compression garment or girdle will help control swelling and provide comfort while the skin shrinks and the bruising resolves.
Brow Lift Info
A brow lift (a.k.a. a forehead lift, upper face lift) is a procedure utilized to correct a drooping brow and to restore a more youthful look. Laughing, crying, smiling and frowning are common facial expressions that involve the use of the forehead. Because your forehead is always moving, this eventually takes its toll on your skin. Together with aging, the result is eventually drooping eyebrows, forehead lines, and those ubiquitous frown lines. A sagging brow crowds the eyes and makes it appear that one is always frowning or angry. Often, a brow lift alone can correct upper eyelid skin excess that cannot be corrected with an eyelid lift alone. Raising the brows and tightening the upper face "opens up" the eyes, restoring a rested, more youthful look. A brow lift can be performed alone, or in conjunction with a face-neck lift and/or blepharoplasty.
Lasting Permanent Make-Up that Enhances your Natural Beauty
What is Restylane Used for?
Soft-tissue fillers, most commonly injectable hyaluronic acid (Restylane) or fat, can help fill in lines and creases, temporarily restoring a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. When injected beneath the skin, these fillers plump up creased and sunken areas of the face. They can also add fullness to the lips and cheeks. Injectable fillers may be used alone or in conjunction with a resurfacing procedure, such as a laser treatment, or a recontouring procedure, such as a facelift.
How a Browlift is Performed
This procedure is done under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. This could be done with an incision within the hairline or endosmotically. Sutures are removed within 10 days. The bruising and swelling is apparent for less than 10 days. You may use camouflage makeup within a few days.
Considering a Nose Job?
Rhinoplasty, most commonly referred to as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure designed to create a natural-looking nose that balances with the rest of the face. It is a highly refined procedure and not an easy one to master. Deformed noses are often accompanied by breathing problems, and most rhinoplasty techniques can easily worsen these problems. It is best to trust your nose to a specialist who has many years of experience and judgment. Often rhinoplasty is accompanied by a chin implant to produce a more balanced and harmonious face, and on some occasions a chin implant alone will correct an apparent prominent nose. Recovery is rapid, discomfort rarely lasts more than one day, and almost everyone can return to normal social activity in six days.
Achieve a More Attractive Nose with Nasal Surgery
Nose reshaping is intended to produce a more attractive nasal shape and/or a nose in better proportion to other facial features. Rhinoplasty is done on an outpatient basis under sedation, and local or general anesthesia. Your plastic surgeon will decide which of the following techniques should be used:
* STANDARD RHINOPLASTY: Incisions are made inside the nostrils. The nasal bones, cartilage, and soft tissues are reshaped to improve the external contour.
* OPEN RHINOPLASTY: Frequently used for difficult or larger noses. Involves one external incision across the columella (strut between the nostrils). Bones, cartilage, and soft tissues are reshaped under direct vision.
* TIP-PLASTY: If only the nasal tip is abnormal, it may be corrected with either a standard or external (open) approach.
* Large nostrils may be reduced through tiny incisions at the outer base of the nostrils with either type of rhinoplasty.
* STANDARD RHINOPLASTY: Incisions are made inside the nostrils. The nasal bones, cartilage, and soft tissues are reshaped to improve the external contour.
* OPEN RHINOPLASTY: Frequently used for difficult or larger noses. Involves one external incision across the columella (strut between the nostrils). Bones, cartilage, and soft tissues are reshaped under direct vision.
* TIP-PLASTY: If only the nasal tip is abnormal, it may be corrected with either a standard or external (open) approach.
* Large nostrils may be reduced through tiny incisions at the outer base of the nostrils with either type of rhinoplasty.
Ear Surgery Sets Prominent Ears back Closer to the Head
Ear surgery or otoplasty is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears. Ears are almost fully grown by age four, so the operation is done on children between ages of four and fourteen. Ear surgery is also possible in adults with fewer risks. You have to be clear about what and how you want your ear to be when you talk to the doctor.
A Tummy Tuck can Restore your Abdomen to it's Former Self
Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. This type of surgery can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. This procedure produces a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip.
San Diego Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation (or chin implant) involves the placement of a small implant to enlarge and/or refine the shape of the chin and jawline. Since we can rarely see what we look like in profile, many people come to see me for consultation after they see a picture of themselves in profile. Most of these patients simply never realized that their chin was too small or that it was undermining their facial balance.
Proper balance of the face involves many factors, but the primary factors are the projection and relationship of the nose and chin. Oftentimes patients feel that their nose is too prominent, when in reality their chin simply does not project enough to balance the nose.

Are You a Thigh Lift Candidate?
You may be a candidate for thighplasty if you have experienced a loss of skin elasticity of the thigh, hip, or buttock areas. You may also desire this procedure if your skin in the thigh area is saggy, has an orange peel, flabby and/or dimpled appearance. The procedure may also be indicated if your thigh appearance improves dramatically when you lift the lax skin. If you are self-conscious about your lower body appearance you may also want to look into this procedure. The procedure is intended to produce tighter, more attractive thigh and buttock skin with improved contours. It is also intended to decrease irregularities in skin surface.
Blepharoplasty Removes Excess Skin and Fat Around the Eyelids
Excess skin and fat around the eyelid area can negatively affect your appearance and, in extreme cases, impair vision. Removing excess fat and skin from the upper and lower eyelid area can create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. During the eyelid surgery, an incision is made in the crease of the eyelid and excess skin and fat are removed.

What is a Face Lift?
A facelift is a procedure which involves removing excess facial skin and tightening the underlying muscle layers in order to eliminate or make less obvious hanging folds and lines that appear as we age. Most commonly, this involves the skin of the neck, the area under the chin, cheeks and temporal regions. Oftentimes other procedures, such as blepharoplasty, brow lift or rhinoplasty may be performed at the same time.
The Procedure of Male Breast Reduction
Gynecomastia can be performed under general anesthesia or under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation and takes between 1 and 2 hours. Reduction of breast volume can many times be accomplished with ultrasound assisted liposuction. In some cases, a small incision may need to be made in order to remove tissue directly. In rare cases, skin may be removed from around the areola.
Are you Wishing for Fuller, Richer Lips?
You may be wishing for fuller, richer and more sensuous lips. Now there are a variety of procedures some temporary and others more permanent to achieve these desired results.
One technique is known as Fat Transfer. The “fat” is taken from your abdomen or outer thigh and reinjected into your lip area. The results are very good and last from several months to over a year because the fat is gradually absorbed back into the body. You may need two or three treatments to obtain the results you desire.

Are you Looking for a Breast Augmentation?
Breast Augmentation is designed to create beautiful breasts, a true breast enhancement. Breast augmentation is performed using saline breast implants or silicone breast implants.
Many women choose to have breast augmentation for various reasons; the most common are listed below:
* Women who wish to have fuller breasts because their breasts are too small.
* Women who wish to correct a loss of breast volume after pregnancy.
* Women who wish to have perkier breasts and a better shape after pregnancy.
* Women who wish to correct asymmetry of the breasts.
* Women who wish to replace a previously placed breast implant.

Laser Hair Removal Restores Self-Confidence
Laser hair removal uses highly amplified light to penetrate hair follicles. The pigmentation within the hair absorbs the light and the hair is destroyed within that follicle. Because the procedure targets the pigmentation within the hair, the procedure may prove ineffective for hairs that are white or have no pigment. This procedure not only helps to restore the physical appearance of the patient, but also restores self-confidence and respect to the patient.
Smooth Out your face with Botox
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Take a look at men and women who've had BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, and see for yourself!
One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in those persistent lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

Rejuvenate your Upper Arm with an Arm Lift
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm. With age, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. Plastic surgeons will discuss brachioplasty with patients who want to tighten this skin and look as good as they feel. In some cases your plastic surgeon may suggest that liposuction be used alone or in conjunction with an arm lift to remove excess fat in the upper arms.
Cosmetic Ear Surgery Explained
This surgery takes approximately one hour to perform. The technique used is typically an incision approximately 1 1/2 inches long in the crease behind the ear where the cartilage is exposed. The fold is re-created, if needed, and the cartilage is secured to the back of the head. Precise measurements are taken so both ears protrude from the side of the head approximately 12-15 mm after the otoplasty surgery. Both permanent and dissolvable sutures are used to help maintain the new shape of the ear. The dissolvable sutures fall out about a week after surgery.
Modern Mastopexy Techniques Limit Scarring
Modern surgical techniques, such as a vertical mastopexy, result in fewer and better scars than older techniques. Many plastic surgeons have switched to the vertical mastopexy technique for most patients for this reason. Recovery is surprisingly rapid, with resumption of reasonable activity in two or three days. The discomfort is very moderate, approximately equal to a subglandular breast augmentation (saline).
Get Rid of Sagging Abdominal Skin with a Tummy Tuck
The skin over the abdomen area can become stretched out after childbirth or weight loss. This skin does not retract to its original tightness and can be loose and saggy. The abdominal muscles also have stretched out and have not regained their normal position, giving the appearance of a "pot belly" no matter how many sit-ups a person does. An abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck" will correct both of these problems. The excess skin is removed and the muscles are tightened to firm up the abdomen and provide better contour.
A Nose Job Creates a More Delicate Nasal Structure
Rhinoplasty can be used to make the nose more delicate, remove bumps, and to sculpt it. A California board certified plastic surgeon employs the newest techniques available, using grafts to augment the nose, as opposed to older techniques that remove cartilage and sometimes lead to a "ski jump" appearance. Every patient's goals are different, so your surgeon will work with you using computer imaging to achieve your ideal.
Rhinoplasty scars are hidden within the nostrils. You may not see the final results of your surgery until swelling resolves, which may take several weeks.

What is Lasik Eye Surgery?
Laser in-situ keratomileusis, or Lasik, is a popular surgical approach used to correct vision in people who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism.
All laser vision correction surgeries work by reshaping the cornea, or clear front part of the eye, so that light traveling through it is properly focused onto the retina located in the back of the eye. Lasik laser eye surgery (laser in-situ keratomileusis) is one of a number of different surgical techniques used to reshape the cornea.

Is Collagen Safe?
Collagen Replacement Therapy has been proven very safe over the past 25 years. Collagen, a natural product, is normally injected just under the skin. The body eventually safely absorbs the injected collagen, and if treatments are discontinued, your body's natural contours will return.
Collagen replacement therapy and BOTOX® are a powerful combination! Collagen and BOTOX® are very complimentary procedures. BOTOX® softens or eliminates dynamic wrinkles and collagen replaces the thin supporting structure in aging skin. Both procedures are quick and have no recovery time. We can even fit it into your lunch schedule.
Twenty five years is plenty of time to convince me it is safe, what are your oppinions on Collagen Replacement Therapy?

A Solution for Dull or Damaged Skin.
Microdermabrasion offers many benefits to people of all skin types. Through the use of gently abrasive crystals combined with an air stream, the microdermabrasion method gently removes the upper layer of dead skin cells. Removal of the dead tissue brings the healthy under layer of skin to the surface, encouraging healthy cell rejuvenation. The process is entirely painless and non-invasive, usually taking less than 30 minutes for a complete facial treatment. Microdermabrasion can leave your skin softer, smoother and fresher looking than you may even have thought possible.

Laser Hair Reduction in San Diego
Laser treatment is an FDA approved non-invasive approach to permanent reduction of facial and body hair. Long term studies in the U.S. and Europe have shown the technology to be effective and safe when done by experienced professionals. It is a convenient way to remove unwanted hair without shaving, waxing, or electrolysis. Women most often treat the lip and chin, under arms, bikini line, and legs. Men usually treat the back, shoulders, and upper arms.
Bring a More Youthful Appearance to your Eyes.
Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty creates an open, larger, brighter appearing eye. By removing excess loose skin and fatty tissue which produce bags of the upper or lower lid, the eye appears larger, less tired, more open and brighter.
In women, excess loose tissue prevents optimal use of makeup and obscures the normal contours of the eyelid. In both women and men, loose, sagging, bulging tissues make the eye appear smaller and more tired or stressed.
The goal of eyelid surgery is to produce a significant improvement in eyelid appearance with the utmost safety.

Improve the Quality of your Skin!
Chemical peels or treatments have been used for many years to improve the quality of the skin. Through application of a chemical solution to peel away top layers of skin, a tighter, fresher, and more youthful appearing new skin surface appears during the healing process. Recently, the AHA's or alpha hydroxy acids, (fruit acids) have become very popular to gently, over a series of treatments, enhance and rejuvenate the skin. The daily use of such products in conjunction with facial treatments in the office or with and esthetician can greatly improve and rejuvenate the skin and are not associated with the recovery or downtime related to more aggressive treatments such as TCA (trichloroacetic acid) or phenol. Chemical treatments are not substitutes for a facelift, or rhytidectcmy, but rather a complimentary procedure often performed in conjunction with it. Loose, sagging, or excess skin cannot be eliminated by any skin care treatment alone, and may require other procedures to correct.
Having a hard time breathing?
Difficulty in breathing can be caused by deformities of the nasal septum. Nasal septal deviation can occur during nasal growth or from trauma to the nose. Internal nasal surgery, if needed, can be combined with surgery of the external nose to improve airway function as well as appearance.
Nasal surgery, can improve the appearance of the nose externally as well as the internal function of the nasal airways. Rhinoplasty is the term for surgery of the external nose. Internal procedures correct deformities of the septum or turbinates which can obstruct the nasal airway.

Breast Augmentation can improve your appearance!
Breast augmentation adds volume to the breast with a breast implant or prosthesis to increase fullness and create better balance with the rest of your figure. Your clothing options will expand tremendously, and you'll be comfortable wearing many types of clothing you were uncomfortable wearing before.
There are different types of breast implants available, and three different approaches for augmentation. The small incision can be placed under the breast, at the edge of the nipple-areola, or in a skin fold in the armpit.

Juvéderm™ Injections in Seattle or Bellevue
As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm™ injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a "next-generation" dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.* And, almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm™ injectable gel and another dermal filler* preferred Juvéderm™! In addition, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

Rhinoplasty in Seattle Washington
Surgery of the nose or Rhinoplasty is performed to increase or decrease the size of the nose, sculpt and change the shape of the tip, bridge, bones, cartilage or nostril size. Nothing has a greater impact on how a person looks than the size and shape of the nose. Because the nose is the most defining characteristic of the face, a slight alteration can greatly improve one's appearance.
Necklift surgery in Seattle or Bellevue
The neck lift procedure is designed for people who have excess fat around the neck, but have good skin tone and are not yet ready for a full face-neck lift. This operation includes liposuction of the neck, manual removal of fat underneath the muscles and tightening of the neck muscles under the chin. Excess skin cannot be removed with this procedure. If excess skin is the problem then a full face-neck lift should be done.
Achieve your Cosmetic Goals with a Browlift
Your surgeon will help you decide which surgical approach will best achieve your cosmetic goals: the classic or "open" method, or the endoscopic forehead lift. Make sure you understand the technique that your surgeon recommends and why he or she feels it is best for you.
Face Lift Facts
The average age of a patient having a facelift ranges between forty and sixty-five, but occasionally you will see patients well into their seventies.
Typically, facelift surgeries will last about three hours with an additional three hours allowed for recovery.
I find it interesting that people over 70 would have a facelift performed on them. How do you feel about that?

What can Liposuction do for You?
A liposuction can help individuals restore a thinner and fitter looking contour to their bodies. The specified portion of the body is made smaller to better match the shape of the patient. Plastic Surgeons accomplish this by removing excess fat through a vacuuming procedure. This not only helps to restore the physical appearance of the patient, but also restores self-confidence and respect to the patient.
Many Parents Choose to have Their Children's Ears Corrected
Otoplasty cosmetic surgery, also referred to as ear shaping or ear pinning, can correct protruding or deformed ears. Many parents choose to have their children's ears corrected at an early age, usually between four and 14, to prevent ridicule during adolescence. However, many adults also request otoplasty to correct misshapen or oversized ears.
Deciding if Chemical Peel is Right for You
Chemical peel is most commonly performed for cosmetic reasons -- to enhance your appearance and your self confidence. Chemical peel may also remove pre-cancerous skin growths, soften acne facial scars and even control acne. In certain cases, health insurance may cover the peel procedure. Be sure to check your policy and contact your insurance company before the procedure is performed.
How long has Rhinoplasty been around?
Rhinoplasty was first developed by sushruta, an important physician, who lived in ancient India circa 500 BC. He and his later students and disciples used Rhinoplasty to reconstruct noses that were amputed as punishment and for crimes. He developed the techniques of forehead flap Rhinoplasty which is practiced almost unchanged to this day. This knowledge of plastic surgery existed in India up to late 18 century. The first intranasal Rhinoplasty in the west was performed by john Orlando roe in 1887. In 1898 Jacques Joshep used it for cosmetic purposes to help those who felt that the shape or size of their nose caused them embarrassment and social discomfort.
One-Third of Males have Male Breasts
Gynecomastia means enlargement of the male breast. The definition has nothing to do with what causes the enlargement or what tissue it is composed of. It is most common around puberty and can involve one or both sides. Most commonly the enlargement is centralized in the breast but occasionally it is not. It is present to some degree in about a third of male population.

The Best Candidates for Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon.
The best candidates for eyelid surgery are men and women who are physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in their expectations. Most are 35 or older, but if droopy, baggy eyelids run in your family, you may decide to have eyelid surgery at a younger age.
A few medical conditions make blepharoplasty more risky. They include thyroid problems such as hypothyroidism and Graves' disease, dry eye or lack of sufficient tears, high blood pressure or other circulatory disorders, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. A detached retina or glaucoma is also reason for caution; check with your ophthalmologist before you have surgery.

If You're Considering a Chemical Peel in Southern California
Chemical peel uses a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. It is helpful for those individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. Phenol, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) are used for this purpose. The precise formula used may be adjusted to meet each patient's needs. Although chemical peel may be performed in conjunction with a facelift, it is not a substitute for such surgery, nor will it prevent or slow the aging process. This brochure provides basic information about certain types of chemical peel treatments and the results you might expect. It won't answer all your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. Once you and your plastic surgeon have decided on a specific peel program, be sure to ask about any details that you do not understand.

Get Rid of that Excess Fat with a Tummy Tuck!
Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip.

Are you a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon.
The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.

Could you be in need of a Breastlift Surgery?
Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. Breastlift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts--at least, for a time. (No surgery can permanently delay the effects of gravity.) Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If your breasts are small or have lost volume--for example, after pregnancy--breast implants inserted in conjunction with mastopexy can increase both their firmness and their size. If you're considering a breast lift, this brochure will give you a basic understanding of the procedure--when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect.
How a Forehead lift might Change your Appearance
For a better understanding of how a forehead lift might change your appearance, look into a mirror and place the palms of your hands at the outer edges of your eyes, above your eyebrows. Gently draw the skin up to raise the brow and the forehead area. That is approximately what a forehead lift would do for you.
If you decide to consult a plastic surgeon, he or she will first evaluate your face, including the skin and underlying bone.
During your consultation, the surgeon will discuss your goals for the surgery and ask you about certain medical conditions that could cause problems during or after the procedure, such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood-clotting problems, or the tendency to develop large scars. Be sure to tell the surgeon if you have had previous facial surgery, if you smoke, or if you take any drugs or medications -- including aspirin or other drugs that affect clotting.
If you decide to proceed with a forehead lift, your surgeon will explain the surgical technique, the recommended type of anesthesia, the type of facility where the surgery will be performed, the risks and the costs involved. Don't hesitate to ask your doctor any questions you may have, especially those regarding your expectations and concerns about the results of surgery.

Combining a Browlift with a Blepharoplasty
Sometimes your plastic surgeon may recommend that a brow lift be performed in conjunction with a blepharoplasty. The brow lift, which is designed to raise sagging brows, is done through several small incisions in the scalp where scars will be hidden in the hair. By elevating the eyebrows to their former youthful position, less excess skin may need to be removed from the upper eyelids. In fact in many instances, the appearance of excess skin on the upper eyelids is an illusion created by the sagging brows.
Do you have "Dumbo-Ears?"
Many children are born with ears that protrude to far from the head. This causes the “dumbo-ear” appearance and is often embarrassing and traumatic. The problem is corrected by a combination of stitching and reshaping the ear cartilage, to bring it closer to the head. Also known as “ear pinning,” it is a common cosmetic surgery for adults and children with protruding ears.
Breast Augmentation: One of the Most Popular Procedures Women Seek
Breast enhancement or augmentation is one of the most popular procedures which women seek. It may enhance small breasts, fill out deflated breasts after pregnancy, and make breast size differences less. All of which may bring a psychological boost to women who are unhappy with this part of their figure. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis and usually under general anesthesia.
Get Rid of Embarassing, Unwanted Hair
Laser hair removal gets rid of embarrassing, unwanted hair, quickly and efficiently. With laser hair removal, patients are able to improve appearance and self-confidence.
Laser hair removal is most effective when the targeted hair is darker than the surrounding skin. During laser hair removal a beam of light is directed at the hair follicle, essentially destroying the follicle and reducing the likelihood of regrowth.

Permanent Make-Up Saves you Time
Micro-pigmentation or permanent make-up can make you look your best with much less time spent on applying make-up. It can help resolve problem eyebrows with too little or uneven hair growth and it can dramatically or subtly accentuate your eye liner. As a medical procedure, it is used to help reduce facial or body scars.
Would you Like to Improve your Nose?
Most patients have a definite idea as to how they would like to ‘improve’ or refine the shape of their nose. The common concerns are the “nasal hump” on the bridge, the thickness of the nasal tip, and the width of their nose. The most important step in the process of learning about rhinoplasty or nasal surgery is for the prospective patient to have an in-depth consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Full Lips have become a Characteristic of Beauty
During the past decade, the size and shape of lips has gained special attention and prominence in the sphere of cosmetic surgery. Enhanced, full, sensuous lips have become the accepted standard as a characteristic of beauty. Great emphasis has been placed on the full lip in glamour and fashion magazines, which has influenced millions of women to achieve this look. Lip enhancement gained particular popularity in the late 1980’s with the invention and availability of Collagen.
Stop Being Self-Concious About Your Male Breasts
For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, breast-reduction surgery can help. The procedure removes fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer, and better contoured.

Top Reasons That Women Receive Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast for a number of reasons:
* To enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small.
* To correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy.
* To balance a difference in breast size.
* As a reconstructive technique following breast surgery.
* To correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy.
* To balance a difference in breast size.
* As a reconstructive technique following breast surgery.
What is a Facelift?
A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can't stop the aging process. What it can do is "set back the clock," improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
Do Your Breasts Give you Physical Discomfort?
Breast reduction is usually performed for physical relief rather than simply cosmetic improvement. Most women who have the surgery are troubled by very large, sagging breasts that restrict their activities and cause them physical discomfort.
Abdominoplasty Provides a more Youthful Look
Most Board Certified Plastic Surgeons offer both traditional and Endoscopic assisted abdominoplasty to remove excess skin, stretch marks, and fat from the abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. This reshaping and contouring of your figure provides a flatter, smoother, and more youthful look.
Change the Look of your Eyelids!
There are essentially two major problems that affect the eyelids. One is the build up of excess fat behind the eyelids, especially in the lower eyelids. This pushes outward on the eyelid causing a bulge or “bag” to develop. Light, which most often comes from above us, will shine on the bulge and cause a shadow to form under the lid. This gives the appearance of dark circles and the tired-look.
The second major problem affecting eyelids is wrinkling of the skin. This is due to a loss of the skin’s natural elastic properties, which can be as a result of the aging process, sun damage and cigarette smoking. The excess skin can become redundant and hang down, especially on the upper lids, adding to that tired or aged appearance. Excessive drooping of the upper eyelids can even obstruct vision.
Surgical treatment, called a Blepharoplasty, is directed at each of these problems.

What is the Importance of Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is a way to bring balance to the facial structure of correcting a weak chin due to the related bone resorption or facial trauma. This procedure can be as simple as tissue augmentation filler to implanting a silicone or porex chin implant to have to cover all the ways you are able to enhance your chin. A weak chin can also make a normal nose appear large and an already pronounced larger.
Lip Augmentation, Make your Lips Stand Out!
During the past decade, the size and shape of lips has gained special attention and prominence in the sphere of cosmetic surgery. Enhanced, full, sensuous lips have become the accepted standard as a characteristic of beauty. Great emphasis has been placed on the full lip in glamour and fashion magazines, which has influenced millions of women to achieve this look. Lip enhancement gained particular popularity in the late 1980’s with the invention and availability of Collagen.
Thinking about Facial Implants?
Balance! Balance is the key word to understanding what makes facial appearance most appealing. Balance between all of the facial parts such that all of the features seem properly matched and well proportioned. When one part is too large or another part too small, facial appearance seems out of balance. One of the most common examples is the relationship between the nose and chin, as seen in profile, where the nose is too large and the chin appears too small. The small chin can seem to exaggerate the length of the nose. The proper use of facial implants can be an excellent way to restore facial balance.
What does Blepharoplasty Accomplish?
Blepharoplasty can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes. These are the features that make you look older and feel more tired than you are, and may even interfere with your vision. However, it will not remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. While it can add an upper crease to Asian eyes, it will not erase evidence of your ethnic or racial heritage. Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as facelift or browlift.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Considering breast augmentation by a board certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills or Los Angeles? A beautiful shape, enhancement of one’s figure, self-confidence and self-esteem are all reasons why today’s woman is seeking Breast Augmentation. Breast enhancement will not just enlarge a woman’s breasts, but can enhance a woman’s entire figure. It gives proportion and helps to attain the hourglass curves of the ideal woman’s shape. Following breast enlargement, many women find that a whole new world of clothing and fashion styles open up for them. The ultimate goal of breast augmentation is not just a physical improvement but also an improvement in self-image, which leads to enhanced self-confidence. There are a whole variety of reasons why women in Los Angeles undergo breast augmentation.
What is a Forehead Lift?
A forehead lift or "browlift" is a procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes. The procedure corrects drooping brows and improves the horizontal lines and furrows that can make a person appear angry, sad or tired.
A Forehead lift is a perfect procedure for someone that feels their face looks older than they feel. Does anyone have an experience with this surgery? Please share your story.

Get rid of excess weight from your thighs!
The thighs tend to be an area of the body that is often overlooked but one that can greatly benefit from Plastic Surgery. The thighs can be affected by both redundant skin and an over-accumulation of fatty deposits. There are many reasons why the thighs undergo these changes. The thighs are one area of the body that is particularly prone to fat build-up and deterioration in skin quality. During the aging process, the skin loses elasticity, retaining ligaments stretch and gravity takes its toll. Thigh skin is especially prone to these changes as it is naturally thinner than skin found elsewhere in the body. Weight gain also plays a roll in this process as the added skin tension further stretches and thins the skin. The problem can become quite noticeable with significant weight loss. Sun exposure and cigarette smoking can also be major contributors to the problem. A Thigh Lift could be the solution.
The Basics of Brachioplasty
Brachioplasty, also known as arm lift or arm tuck, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to remove redundant, flabby, and sagging skin folds of the upper arms. Hanging arm skin folds are not only unsightly, but also interfere with one’s ability to fit in sleeved tops, as well as causing underarm skin rash and irritation.
An arm lift can save a person from pain and self-esteem issues. Has anyone had this surgery performed on them that would like to share their experience?

Rhinoplasty could be for you!
The nose is the most prominent feature of our face. Its size and shape influence our entire facial appearance. A well-shaped nose appears balanced and in harmony with all of a person’s facial features. When the nose is too large or too small for the face it will seem out of balance or asymmetric. Even if the nose is properly sized, but the individual parts of the nose are not well proportioned to one another, then the nose will appear out of synch with the rest of the face. These problems can be due to trauma, genetics, or previous surgery. A well-balanced, proportionate and harmonious nose is essential for a beautiful or handsome appearance and it is for this reason that so many people seek to change and improve the shape of their nose. The Plastic surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the nose is called a Rhinoplasty.
What is Sclerotherapy?
This is a popular method of eliminating superficial telangectasias (Spider Veins) in which a sclerosing agent solution is injected into the veins. We use the safest sclerosing agent of all CONCENTRATED SALINE (23.4%). We prepare it in different concentrations based on skin tone and background (15% - Darker Skin; 18% Moderate Skin and 22% - Fair Skin). An inflammatory reaction will occur soon after the procedure. This is normal and desirable. After about two to three weeks, patients will notice a gradual fading of the treated vessels. More than one session will be necessary, but no more than six per area.
Buttock Enhancement is Becoming Even More Popular
Enhancement of buttock appearance is becoming ever more popular. In the past, women noticed certain deficiencies in this area, but were unaware of procedures to alter the buttocks into a more attractive shape. In the last few years, options for buttock enhancement have increased and many patients have undergone treatment safely and effectively. Performing a buttock lift is one way to enhance the appearance of the buttocks.
Information about Breast Reduction
There is a substantial population of women who have a constellation of symptoms related to overly large breasts. These women experience pain in their upper back, neck and shoulders. This can lead to grooving or indentations in the shoulders from years of pressure by bra straps. Often, overly enlarged breasts, called Macromastia, prevent women from enjoying sports, exercise and other physical activities. Rashes frequently occur under the breasts, especially during warm summer months. Clothes can be ill fitting and there can even be psychological issues from taunting during teenage years. Breast Reduction surgery is a procedure that is designed to relieve women who suffer from these problems.

A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can't stop this aging process. What it can do is "set back the clock," improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
Want to get Rid of Loose Arm Skin?
“Doc, I hate these wings!” This is a common refrain heard by many Los Angeles Plastic Surgeons, from patients who complain about the redundant, excess skin and fat of their upper arms. There are many reasons why patients develop this problem. Weight loss, the aging process, after Gastric Bypass Surgery and various medical conditions all can be the cause. The common complaint is that the skin and soft tissues hang creating an unsightly appearance even when the arms are fully covered. Short sleeve shirts and blouses can leave patients feeling embarrassed and constantly aware of the issue, but there is hope! An Arm Lift, or Liposuction, or both, may be the answer.
Improve Your Appearance with Nasal Surgery
Surgery of the nose or Rhinoplasty is performed to increase or decrease the size of the nose, sculpt and change the shape of the tip, bridge, bones, cartilage or nostril size. Nothing has a greater impact on how a person looks than the size and shape of the nose. Because the nose is the most defining characteristic of the face, a slight alteration can greatly improve one's appearance.
Considering Abdominoplasty?
Considering a tummy tuck by a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon? Ever wonder where the old you has gone? Ever just wish that you could have that old body shape back? Perhaps because of pregnancies, weight loss or just the aging process, you have seen a dramatic change in the shape of your abdomen. Some of those changes may include loose or hanging skin of the lower abdomen, rashes or hygiene problems developing under that fold of skin, protrusion of the abdominal muscles due to weakening or stretching of those muscles or an accumulation of excess fat. If these are the issues that are troubling you, then a Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty may be the answer.
Information about Saline Breast Implants
The saline implant has an exterior sack made of solid silicone, which is filled with a sterile saline solution — like the salt-water solution that is administered for intravenous fluids. One of the advantages of this solution is its safety. Should the implant for some reason leak, the saline just gets absorbed by your body, as would the intravenous fluids used during, and after surgery. Yet another advantage of the saline implants is a very low infection rate, which is usually less than one to two percent.

Nasal Surgery Can Boost One's Self-Esteem
Nasal Surgery, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all Cosmetic Surgery procedures.

Facial Rejuvenation can change a person's life. Has anyone's life been changed by this surgery?
Time Takes it's Toll on a Woman's Breasts; Revitalize Them with a Mastopexy
Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. Breastlift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts - at least, for a time. (No surgery can permanently delay the effects of gravity.) Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple.
Mastopexy surgery can save a woman from embarassment and pain. It's the perfect surgery for a woman suffering from sagging breasts. Has anyone had this surgery performed on them before?

The New Paradigm in Facial Rejuvenation
The field of facial rejuvenation has advanced tremendously in the last 20 years. Until recently, when a patient walked into a plastic surgeons office they were offered surgery and nothing else. The surgical approaches were deeply invasive and the recovery took months. Often as a result of overly aggressive surgical approaches to rejuvenate the eyes, forehead, cheeks and neck, patients ended up looking distorted, pulled and un-natural. Unfortunately, many prospective patients today still have a vivid memory of these faces and they think twice about having facial surgery to refresh and rejuvenate their look. Who can blame them?
Are you Self-Concious about your Male Breasts?
For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, breast-reduction surgery can help. The procedure removes fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer, and better contoured.
Could Injectables be for you?
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ranked BOTOX® Cosmetic as the most popular physician-administered aesthetic procedure in the United States for the fourth year in a row.
Botox® is used to treat unwanted wrinkles on the face and neck. Botox is used to treat dynamic wrinkles (motion wrinkles). These wrinkles are caused by contraction of the facial muscles. After time, this repeated muscle contractions results in permanent wrinkles (static wrinkles). Static wrinkles are defined as lines and creases that remain on the skin even when the face is not moving. Botox has revolutionized our ability to treat dynamic wrinkles of the face.

Rejuvenate Your Face with Collagen
Drawing upon the latest breakthroughs in skin science, CosmoDermT and CosmoPlastT contain human collagen grown under controlled laboratory conditions. This natural human collagen is similar to the collagen normally found in the skin, so there's no need for a pre-treatment skin test. Which means CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast offer patients the convenience of Collagen Replacement Therapy in just one visit.
Rejuvenation of the Eyes
Your eyes are the first thing others see when they look at your face. An immediate impression is formed about your age, level of energy, and how tired you are. The eyes are also the first part of the face to show the signs of aging.
It is also important to note that when people look at our eyes, they are not just seeing the upper eyelids or lower eyelids, they are seeing the entire region around our eyes. This includes the skin, the hollows and dark circles beneath the eyes, and the sagging eyebrows.
Therefore when developing a treatment plan for real rejuvenation of the eyes, the changes that have occurred to the midface (upper cheek), eyebrows, skin, and volume have to also be taken into account.

Correct Drooping Eyelids with Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery (technically called blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove fat--usually along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes - features that make you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision. However, it won't remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows.
If You're Considering a Skin-Refinishing Treatment...
Dermabrasion and dermaplaning help to "refinish" the skin's top layers through a method of controlled surgical scraping. The treatments soften the sharp edges of surface irregularities, giving the skin a smoother appearance.
Dermabrasion is most often used to improve the look of facial skin left scarred by accidents or previous surgery, or to smooth out fine facial wrinkles, such as those around the mouth. It's also sometimes used to remove the pre-cancerous growths called keratoses. Dermaplaning is commonly used to treat deep acne scars.
Both dermabrasion and dermaplaning can be performed on small areas of skin or on the entire face. They can be used alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as facelift, scar removal or revision, or chemical peel.

If You're Considering Scar Revision...
Scars – whether they're caused by accidents or by surgery- are unpredictable. The way a scar develops depends as much on how your body heals as it does on the original injury or on the surgeon's skills.
Many variables can affect the severity of scarring, including the size and depth of the wound, the blood supply to the area, the thickness and color of your skin, and the direction of the scar. How much the appearance of a scar bothers you is, of course, a personal matter.
While no scar can be removed completely, plastic surgeons can often improve the appearance of a scar, making it less obvious through the injection or application of certain steroid medications or through surgical procedures known as scar revisions.

Are you a Candidate for a Face Lift?
# A man or a woman whose face and neck have begun to sag but whose skin still has some elasticity.
# Whose patients bone structure is strong and well defined.
# Most patients are in their forties to sixties. But a face lift can be done successfully on people in their seventies or eighties.
# A face lift can make you look younger and fresher and may enhance your self confidence in the process. But it can"t give you a totally different look, nor can it restore the vitality of your youth.

The Best Candidates For Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon.
The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.

Tighten the Skin on your Arms with a Brachioplasty
The arm lift procedure or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm. With age, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. The goal with brachioplasty is to tighten the skin and remove the excess fat tissue. In some cases your plastic surgeon may suggest that liposuction be used alone or in conjunction with an arm lift to remove excess fat in the upper arms. Sometimes the skin of the hand is also tightened or resurfaced with IPL.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
The laser targets the hair follicle without disrupting the skin's surface to remove hair on any part of the body for smooth softer looking skin. The energy directed from the lasers hand piece is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, the generated heat energy is designed to destroy the hair follicle so it cannot grow back. Our top of the line approach to hair removal is safe for all skin types and targets all hair colors that contain melenin. The result is permanent hair reduction providing the most desired effect.
Improve The Fullness of Your Lips
Patients of all ages may desire improvement in the fullness or bulk of the vermilion (the red part of the lip). Several techniques are available to reproduce fullness of the lips. These include augmentation (Alloderm and Softform/UltraSoft) and fat injections. Each patient must be evaluated on an individual bases to determine which technique will work best for their desired results.

Restore Your Self Confidence with a Hair Transplant
There are few things more devastating for a man's self esteem then losing his hair. As his hair goes, so does his feeling of vitality and youth. A hair transplant helps to restore a man's self confidence and makes him appear much younger.
Reasons to Receive Calf Implants
Reasons for calf augmentation are varfied and include cosmetic enhancement and reconstructive necessity. Men and women body builders often use calf augmentation to enhance the fullness, shape and bulk of the calf muscles when exercise falls short on further development. Others choose calf implants to improve proportions, definitions and curves of the lower legs for simple muscular enhancement or to correct the appearance of thin and/or bowed legs. Calf implants can also be used to correct asymmetry in calf muscles from trauma or genetic birth deformities such as in polio, spina bifida and clubfoot.
What is Microdermabrasion?
A fine stream of crystals is used to gently abrade the dead outer layer of skin leaving the skin smooth and retextured. With this exfoliating technique watch fine lines, age spots, and acne scars lighten with each treatment.

Hand Rejuvenation Can Hide One's Age
Human hands are highly visible. We extend our hands as a gesture of friendliness in order to form new friendships and acquaintances. Others can tell a lot by looking at our hands. For instance, the age of the individual can be estimated when looking at someone's hand and while many people have cosmetic surgery to make their face look younger, their hands reveal their true age. With the hands looking years older than the facial features an obvious tell-tale sign that someone has had facial rejuvenation will be noticed by the average individual. For those who are concerned about the appearance of their hands, there are steps that can help prevent and more importantly reverse the signs of aging.
Reasons People Decide to Have Nasal Surgery
The nose is the most prominent feature of our face. Its size and shape influence our entire facial appearance. A well-shaped nose appears balanced and in harmony with all of a person’s facial features. When the nose is too large or too small for the face it will seem out of balance or asymmetric. Even if the nose is properly sized, but the individual parts of the nose are not well proportioned to one another, then the nose will appear out of sync with the rest of the face. These problems can be due to trauma, genetics, or previous surgery. A well-balanced, proportionate and harmonious nose is essential for a beautiful or handsome appearance and it is for this reason that so many people seek to change and improve the shape of their nose.
What is Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. It is also known as a tummy tuck.
Because any surgical procedure carries certain risks and possible complications, you should discuss the procedure in detail with your plastic surgeon.

Women With Very Large Breasts Receive Reduction Mammoplasty Surgery
Women with very large, pendulous breasts may experience a variety of medical problems caused by the excessive weight-from back and neck pain and skin irritation to skeletal deformities and breathing problems. Bra straps may leave indentations in their shoulders. And unusually large breasts can make a woman-or a teenage girl-feel extremely self-conscious. A board certified plastic surgeon can answer any questions you may have about reduction mammoplasty surgery.
The Ideal Patient for Liposuction
Liposculpture, most commonly referred to as liposuction, is a surgical procedure that is highly effective for removing unwanted fat in a specific body area. The ideal patient is one who has hereditary fat accumulations that are diet and exercise resistant. These are most commonly found in the abdomen, hips, inner and outer thighs, inner knees, upper arms, neck and cheek areas.

Major Problems that Affect the Eyelids
There are essentially two major problems that affect the eyelids. One is the build up of excess fat behind the eyelids, especially in the lower eyelids. This pushes outward on the eyelid causing a bulge or “bag” to develop. Light, which most often comes from above us, will shine on the bulge and cause a shadow to form under the lid. This gives the appearance of dark circles and the tired-look. A board certified plastic surgeon can answer any questions about eyelid surgery that you may have.
Redefine Your Neck with a Neck Lift
A neck lift is usually part of a facelift but may be performed alone. The repair of the playsma muscles helps redefine the neck. Neck-lift procedures reposition and tighten skin that, through aging, has begun to sag.
Neck-lift procedures cannot eliminate all signs of aging. Although this procedure provides a more youthful appearance, the results usually decrease with time. Both genetic and environmental influences cause the face to show further signs of aging.

Is Ear Surgery for Everyone?
For the most part, the operation is done on children between the ages of four and 14. Ears are almost fully grown by age four, and the earlier the surgery, the less teasing and ridicule the child will have to endure. Ear surgery on adults is also possible, and there are generally no additional risks associated with ear surgery on an older patient.

What Can A Facelift Do For You?
A facelift can improve the most visible signs of aging by sculpting and tightening the deeper structures and foundation of the face and neck. As we age, the effects of gravity, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, smoking, heredity, and the daily stresses of life begin to reveal themselves in our faces. Facelift surgery can bring youth back to a patient's face.

Gynecomastia is Actually Quite Common
Gynecomastia is a medical term that comes from the Greek words for "women-like breasts." Gynecomastia or male breast reduction is actually quite common and may affect only one breast or both. There is no known cause in the vast majority of cases, and surgery is the only known physical remedy. In cases of obesity, weight loss can alter the gynecomastia condition, but for many it will not eliminate it.
What are Male Pectoral Implants?
Male chest enhancement, known as "pec" implants, is now more popular than ever. Increasing numbers of men are choosing to enhance their physique, body symmetry, and self-image with pectoral implants. This procedure can be performed to enhance an already shapely physique, or pectoral implants may be used for those who simply do not have the time or desire to spend countless hours at the gym.

Achieve a Proportionate Facial Structure with Chin Augmentation
Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Many times a plastic surgeon may recommend chin surgery to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve facial proportion, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.
Skin Tightening
The demand for non-invasive procedures for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction is increasing. Light-based therapies alone have limited efficacy due to the absorption of light by epidermal melanin and limited dermal remodeling.
To meet the demand for safe, non-invasive procedures for the treatment of photo-damaged skin, a variety of light-based therapies have been developed. Although results are less impressive than those of surgical facelifts, adverse effects are few and post-treatment recovery time is short. For example, the use of non-ablative, infrared (IR) lasers with skin-surface cooling has been explored as a stimulus for dermal remodeling and clinical improvement of wrinkles with few adverse effects.
A major limitation of light-based therapies is that optical energy is absorbed by epidermal melanin, thus limiting the depth of light penetration, particularly in patients with dark skin. Another limitation is wrinkles respond minimally to this treatment because collagen contains no chromophores to absorb the light.
To overcome these drawbacks, selective electro-thermolysis, in which electrical energy from radiofrequency (RF) current selectively heats target tissue without damaging the epidermis, has been introduced. RF current placed on the skin penetrates the epidermis and moves to tissues that offer high electrical conductivity. Since conductivity varies inversely with temperature, cooling the epidermis guides the RF current to deeper tissues which, when pre-heated, has higher conductivity and thus a greater probability of receiving the RF current. The amount of heat generated in the pre-heated tissue varies with the tissue’s resistance (impedance) to the RF current.

The Aging Forehead
All those years of raising your eyebrows in astonishment, scrunching your brows together in a scowl or just the constant assault of gravity have taken a toll on your forehead. The indelible wrinkles and the drooping brows have become noticeable. This highlights that there are essentially two components to the aging forehead; the skin changes resulting in wrinkles and the change in position of the eyebrows.
Thigh And Buttock Lift
Patients who desire a thigh and buttock lift usually are seeking to reduce the size of their buttocks or lower trunk area. This plastic surgery procedure is best for individuals who are unable to reduce their size through exercise and dieting. Such factors may affect an individual's confidence, leading them to seek their own thigh and buttock lift.
Genioplasy or Mentoplasty
Chin augmentation (Genioplasty or Mentoplasty) can strengthen the appearance of a receding chin by increasing its projection. Simultaneously, it can create better harmony between the chin and other facial features for a more balanced profile. Chin augmentation does not affect your bite or jaw function.
There are two techniques for adding prominence and contour to your chin. One, performed through an incision inside the mouth, involves moving the chin bone. The other approach involves inserting an implant. The incision to insert this implant may be made in the mouth or on the underside of the chin, in the latter case, surgery will usually leave a negligible scar. To permit proper healing following chin augmentation, you may be placed on a liquid diet for a day or two. The area may be taped or bandaged.
Similarly, in some cases the cheekbones may be built up (augmented) by placing an implant over them. This is usually performed through an incision within the mouth, but it may be done through a lower eyelid or brow lift incision.
After a chin or cheek augmentation, you will most likely be up and about the same day as surgery and back to work within a week.

Considering Lasik
Laser in-situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, is a popular surgical approach used to correct vision in people who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism.
All laser vision correction surgeries work by reshaping the cornea, or clear front part of the eye, so that light traveling through it is properly focused onto the retina located in the back of the eye. LASIK laser eye surgery (laser in-situ keratomileusis) is one of a number of different surgical techniques used to reshape the cornea.

Questions to ask your plastic surgeon
Breast augmentation can be a refreshing change. Yet, a great amount of research must go into planning for breast augmentation today. The following questions that can be posed to prospective plastic surgeons about breast augmentation may be ones you are familiar with. Yet, there are several new questions to ask plastic surgeons about breast augmentation. After all, breast augmentation has evolved much like every other medical procedure….
1. Inquire about the plastic surgeon’s education, training, board certification and societies that the plastic surgeon participates in such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
2. Inquire about the plastic surgeon’s hospital staff privileges. Breast augmentation may be performed in an office based facility, but it important to know if your surgeon has privileges to perform breast augmentation in a hospital.
3. Inquire about the numbers of procedures that the plastic surgeon has performed using the technique that is being recommended for your breast augmentation procedure.
4. Inquire about advanced instruments that when plastic surgeon may be using for your breast augmentation procedure that may offer less trauma to the breast.
5. Inquire about the plastic surgeon’s irrigation techniques for breast augmentation to improve healing.
6. Inquire about the plastic surgeon’s use of pain medication during the procedure to reduce the need for post operative medication.
7. Inquire about the plastic surgeon’s use of drains following the breast augmentation procedure.
8. Inquire about the plastic surgeon’s use of medications or technology that can be used to reduce the risk of nausea and vomiting.
9. Inquire about the plastic surgeon’s methods for reducing inflammation, swelling and pain following breast augmentation.
10. Inquire about the plastic surgeon’s recommendations for massage following breast augmentation.
In truth, you may find that there is variation in breast augmentation techniques among plastic surgeons. The reasons behind each plastic surgeon’s technique can vary as well. At the same time, inquiring about the details involved in your breast augmentation procedure can help you to select the right plastic surgeon and provide for an enhanced recovery from surgery.

One of the Most Popular Procedures Which Women Seek
Breast enhancement or augmentation is one of the most popular procedures which women seek. It may enhance small breasts, fill out deflated breasts after pregnancy, and make breast size differences less. All of which may bring a psychological boost to women who are unhappy with this part of their figure. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis and usually under general anesthesia. A small incision must be make around the lower part of the nipple, under the breast, or under the arm.
Are You an Arm Lift Candidate?
If you have unsightly sagging skin on the upper arms due to aging, genetics, or weight loss, you may be a candidate for upper arm lift. The procedure is intended to reduce or eliminate excess skin from the upper arms.
Correct Your Protruding Ears with an Otoplasty
As is the case with many facial characteristics, the size and shape of one's ears is most often a familial trait. Children with protruding ears, for example, will often see that same characteristic in their parents' and grandparents' ears. Surgical correction of this deformity can be performed with great success as early as the fourth year. By such time, the ear has reached almost adult size, so there will be little subsequent change.
A Nose Job Adresses Both Aesthetic and Functional Concerns
Reconstructive nasal surgery, or rhinoplasty, can be done for cosmetic and/or functional problems, such as septal deviation. As the most prominent feature on one's face, the nose is a defining characteristic of your overall appearance. The nose also functions as an important organ of respiration. Rhinoplasty addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns.

Smile Makeovers after Plastic Surgery
If your teeth are already straight and healthy, you might be interested in Zoom!™ whitening. Zoom!™ whitening is a procedure that takes place in a single visit. It involves the application of a specially formulated gel that, when exposed to a type of light energy, penetrates the stains in your teeth, breaking them up and leaving your smile brighter and whiter. The entire process takes under an hour.
If you have other issues with your teeth, in addition to them being discolored, you may want to consider porcelain veneers. Many people who have tetracycline stained teeth and cannot whiten their teeth with traditional means, or people who want a more permanent solution will opt for porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are a great way to whiten your teeth in a more permanent fashion. The veneers do not stain with time and also correct many other concerns that you may have including crooked teeth, gaps in teeth and a gummy smile. Most of the smile makeovers you see on television are accomplished with porcelain veneers.

Are You In Need of a Thigh Lift?
The skin does not always fully conform to the body’s new shape following significant weight loss. The skin may lose elasticity and begin to sag. One of the areas of the body most affected by this problem is the thigh area.
Thanks to thigh lift (thighplasty), a highly effective cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess fat and skin from the thighs, a solution is available. Thigh lift can dramatically improve the thigh area, as well as enhance the overall appearance of the figure.

Mastopexy Information Provided by Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in La Jolla
You may be a candidate for a breast lift if you have excess or sagging breast tissue due to gravity, weight loss or breast feeding. If you are satisfied with the size of your breasts but don’t like the appearance, this may be the procedure for you. Women who have nipples that point downward may also be candidates for this procedure. Some women have lost a lot of volume and choose to have a breast augmentation in conjunction with a breast lift. This procedure is termed an augmentation mastopexy.
The Convenience of Non-surgical Lip Enhancements
Non-surgical lip enhancements are convenient because normal activities can be resumed immediately. More permanent lip enhancement procedures include fat augmentation and dermal grafts. These are minor surgical procedures, however, several days may be necessary for swelling to subside.
Restore a Thinner and Fitter Look to your Body
An abdominoplasty can help individuals restore a thinner and fitter looking contour to their bodies. The tummy area is made smaller to better match the body of the patient. Board certifed plastic surgeons accomplish this by removing excess fat and skin in the abdominal area and tightening the underlying muscle tissues. This not only helps to restore the physical appearance of the patient, but also restores self-confidence and respect to the patient.
Reduce The Size of Large Ears
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears.
When ear surgery is performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, as with any operation, there are risks associated with surgery and specific complications associated with this procedure.

Nasal Surgery is One of the Most Common Plastic Surgery Procedures
Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.

What Type of Mammoplasty Incision is Right for You?
Breast implants can be inserted through incisions under the breast (inframammary fold), around the areola (periareolar), or through the armpit (transaxillary). The type of implant used, the placement of incision and the size of the implant are influenced by individual physical characteristics and the patient’s preference. These factors will be evaluated during your initial consultation and the information gathered will be used in choosing the optimal implant size and style for you.
