Rhinoplasty

Now that the weather is getting warmer, we are thinking about ways we can ready ourselves for the summer. We go on diets, go to the gym, plan the next vacation. Summertime is also a great time to think about plastic surgery. One of the most popular procedures today is Los Angeles Rhinoplasty.

But before you consider surgery, you should decide if you are the right candidate for surgery:

• Are you unhappy with your nose’s shape?
• Do you have problems sleeping at night?
• Do you have realistic expectations of the results?

Now is the right time for rhinoplasty for several reasons because the recovery time is short. You will be able to go back to work within a week.  Although it may take a year to see the full results of the procedure,  you will be able to enjoy your summer with as a brand new you.

Time to think about liposuction for summer

Now that the weather is getting warmer on both coasts its time to think about liposuction for summer time. Liposuction, is by no means a complete diet. BUT it can help you jump start your diet for swim suit season!

After a simple Los Angeles liposuction surgery most patients are back to work the following week, and are back at the gym as little as two and half weeks! Its a great way to jump start your diet, and if you act in April, by June you will be the hit of the beach!

Plastic Surgery even in these hard times

There is constant reminders on the news about how hard times are. Yes, times are truly the hardest most (if not all of us) will experience in our lifetimes. Unemployment is at an all time high, people are saving their money rather than spending it, and less people are buying their homes. BUT even in these hard times, its important to care about ones body.

Plastic Surgery should be a necessary expense, and not just saved for a special reason.

People still need to have a breast reduction, so their back doesn’t hurt, their feet don’t hurt, etc. This surgery can make you a better employee. A new mother still should consider a tummy tuck. This will only help them, because their stomach will be in pain post birth, and a tummy tuck can only help you. Not all plastic surgery is reserved for special occasions, sometimes plastic surgery is still necessary for you to be a better you! A plastic surgeon los angeles can be a great guide in helping you make that first step.

Winter Plastic Surgery

Winter does seem to be the time that many people go to see a Los Angeles cosmetic surgeon. Many people have time off from work, either during the holidays or during one of the many three day weekends of the season. Also, they are wearing more clothes in the winter! And this means they can cover up during their recovery. But maybe most of all, they do it now because it will allow them to look their best during the summer. If their work is all done, their recovery is finished, then they just might look a bit better on the beach during the warmer months. This of course depends on what they had done!

Breast Augmentation

Its the time of year where we focus on change.   Many people during the new year make many new decisions for the “new you.” So here a few points to help you figure out if Breast augmentation Beverly hills is right for you:

• You are healthy
• Do you have realistic expectations on your outcome? 
• Your breasts are fully developed
• Do you feel your breasts are too small? 
• Are you unhappy with the shape and size of your breast? 
• Are your breasts vary in their size and/or shape? 
• Did you breasts fail to develop fully? 

Thoughts on Breasts

Many people would like to change the appearance of their breasts.  Sometimes smaller with a reduction, or higher with a lift, or larger with Beverly Hills breast implants.  The key, I think, is to feel good about yourself.  I do not think people should make changes to themselves for their friends or boyfriends or even society.  They should do what makes them happy.  And if this means changing around their body, this is a big step but if it is for the right personal reasons I support it.  Let’s all go out into the world the best people we can be, and that may mean making some small changes.  Or sometimes not doing anyting at all!

Tummy Tuck 101

Many people have questions about whether or not a los angeles tummy tuck is right for them. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure used to make the abdomen or stomach more firm. This is usually done to new mothers to flatten their stomach after a birth, but can be done to any person who is a good candidate.

The surgery is a procedure that removed excess skin and fat from the middle or lower part of the abdomen and this tightens the abdominal wall. This surgery is performed by a Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon.

How do you know if you are a good candidate:

• In Good Health
• Have realistic expectations of the results
• Non Smoker
• Unhappy with your current stomach

Palm Springs

A Palm Springs breast reduction removes excess breast fat,  tissue and skin to achieve a breast size that is  proportion with your bodt.  I can also alleviate the discomfort associated with overly large breasts.  A breast reduction is a form of Beverly Hills Plastic Sugery.

Women who have overly large breasts can suffer from both emotional and health problems.   They may also experience physical pain and discomfort.

Large breast can also impair your ability to lead an active life. The emotional discomfort and self-consciousness often associated with having large breasts is as important an issue to many women as the physical discomfort and pain.

Breast reduction is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.

Breast reduction is a good option for you if:

• You are healthy
• You have realistic expectations
• A Non-smoker
• You are bothered by the feeling that your breasts are too large
• Your breasts limit your physical activity
• You experience back, neck and shoulder pain caused by the weight of your breasts

Interesting News on Breast Reconstruction

I thought this article was interesting, about how new reconstruction techniques help people who have breast cancer.  There is more to Los Angeles plastic surgery than simply chichi procedures!  Here is a summary of the article–

After lumpectomy or breast conservation surgery, plastic surgeons are now approaching the challenge of misshapen breasts by immediately remodeling the breast with remaining breast tissue or tissue taken from another area of the body. The result is a more natural looking breast that is more symmetrical with the unaffected breast.

Three additional advances the report examines are nipple-sparing mastectomy, deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps and acellular dermis graft slings. These are options for women who require a full mastectomy and young women who opt for preventative mastectomy due to a strong family history of breast cancer.

In nipple-sparing surgery, cancerous tissue and the duct system of the breast are removed, but a pocket of skin, the nipple and areola are saved. Plastic surgeons insert either an implant or the patient’s own tissue into the pocket to recreate the breast. The result looks very similar to the patient’s original breast because the original nipple and areola are used. Nipple-sparing surgery is still somewhat controversial, but if the origin of the tumor is away from the nipple and areola, it is considered safe, according to the report. DIEP flap surgery involves using skin and fat from the lower abdomen to recreate the breast. The muscle is left intact, eliminating potential muscle weakness in the donor area, according to the report.

For patients undergoing a mastectomy, DIEP flap done by a cosmetic surgeon may allow them to better resume normal activities since they have not loss muscle function in their abdomen. 

Finally, the use of acellular dermis (connective tissue layer of the skin) derived from cadaver tissue allows plastic surgeons to create a new breast pocket, in patients undergoing a mastectomy, without using a tissue expander. An implant may then be inserted, creating an aesthetically pleasing breast.  Breasts can be altered in many ways, with reduction, with liposuction, with a lift.  Here is a case where procedures after cancer surgery can help with appearance.
