An abdominoplasty procedure, also known as a tummy tuck, is a common surgical procedure that many people undergo who desire a firmer, flatter stomach. This procedure entails removing the excess skin and at as well as tightening the stomach muscles to give you a firm tummy. Many new mothers turn to this procedure after childbirth because of what has happened to the body over the 9 months of carrying a child. Many women notice that their skin hangs over their jeans and will not go away with diet and exercise alone. This is because the skin has been overstretched past it’s normal elasticity, and the only answer is to surgically remove the skin and fat. The Los Angeles Tummy Tuck can be a life changing procedure for those who are frustrated with exercising and not seeing results, or who desire to have their pre baby body back!

Breast Reductions — They Really Can Help
November 17, 2007Women with very large breasts can have different problems caused by larger breasts. Such problems can range from back and neck pain to irritated irritation to skeletal deformities to breathing problems. Bra straps may leave indentations in their shoulders. Unusually large breasts can make a woman-or a teenage girl-feel extremely self-conscious.
Southern california breast reduction is designed to help for such women. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. The goal is to give the woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body. If you have any questions about this, you should contact your southern california plastic surgeon and setup a consultation.
Facelifts can turn back the clock
November 5, 2007As people grow older, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and other stresses can be seen on a person’s face. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth and folds and fat deposits appear around the neck.
A facelift can’t stop this aging process, but it can turn back the clock. It can also improve the most visible signs of aging by tighting the underlying muscles of the face, removing fat, and edraping the skin of your face and neck. This surgery can be done alone, orbe performed with other surgeries such as an eye lift and nose job or even a California tummy tuck.
The best candidate for a Los angeles facelift is a person whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some pull, and who has a strong bone strucutre. The age range of people getting a facelift can range from 40 to 80.
Tummy Tucks
October 8, 2007Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a “tummy tuck,” is Beverly Hills plastic surgery. This surgery removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The surgery can reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But the surgery can also cause 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.
A Los angeles tummy tuckcan be performed in an outpatient surgical center or an office-based facility. Others prefer the hospital, where their patients can stay for several days.
Your plastic surgeon may select you to have general anesthesia during your operation which means you will sleep during the procedure. Other plastic surgeons will choose local anesthesia, combined with a sedative to make you drowsy. During the operation you will be awake, but relaxed. Your abdominal region (where the surgery is performed) will be insensitive to pain. Some patients, however, may feel some discomfort during operation.
A complete tummy tuck usually takes two to five hours, depending on the extent of work required. A partial tummy tuck may take an hour or two.
