Everyone ages, and with age comes wrinkles and an aged appearance. Dr. Daniel Golshani, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, has an answer for this. He first displays examples of, “These visible signs of facial aging, including a loss of skin elasticity and firmness, sagging tissues, wrinkles, and sun-damage, can strongly influence how we feel about ourselves and how others see us.” Then he explains that these individuals should seek a face lift from a plastic surgeon. He says, “Individuals who are energetic and excited about life can appear tired or sad due to the loss of youthful contours in their brow, eyelids, mid-face, jaw line, and neck.”

According to Dr. Daniel Golshani, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, “A Facelift is designed to lift, smooth, firm and reverse the visible signs of facial aging.” He goes on to discuss that by correcting the sagging skin on one’s face and the muscles on the face along with removing excess fat, firmness will be restored to the face. A facelift is capable of many things including creating a more youthful look. It can also make one appear more rested and have a more vibrant appearance.

A lot of women that receive breast augmentation surgery with silicone implants will do so without even really thinking about what they have just had put inside of them. Which may bring them to the question, “What exactly is a silicone gel-filled implant?” Dr. Lyle Weeks, an El Paso plastic surgeon, answers this with, “A silicone gel-filled breast implant is an implant shell made of silicone elastomer (rubber) filled with silicone gel as opposed to being filled with saline. Saline implants also have a silicone elastomer shell.” Some women will find this out before their surgery, and that is the best way to go about it.

According to Dr. Francis Palmer, a Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon, “Where the incision is placed is a consideration as it does have an effect on the visibility of the scar, possible damage to the milk ducts of the breasts and the lymphatic drainage of the breasts.” The three most common breast augmentation incision sites are transaxillary, inframammary, and periareolar. Transaxillary is through an incision placed in a woman’s armpits. Inframammary is when a breast implant is inserted through an incision in the breast fold, underneath the breast. The last incision type, periareolar, is when a breast implant is placed through an incision located around a woman’s nipple.

Occasionally, an eyelid lift may not go as planned. According to Dr. Francis Palmer, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, eyelid surgery can also be done as a revision or secondary procedure to remove skin and fatty tissue. He discusses that this procedure may be performed as a result of fat and skin that were missed in the initial blepharoplasty procedure. Also, it may be performed after a few years where aging has occurred and the tissues have again fallen. He also explains that residual fat is common in the inside portion of the upper eyelid and outer portion of the lower eyelid.

When thinking about receiving any plastic surgery procedure you must acknowledge that there are risks associated with the procedure. Many plastic surgeons’ websites have lists of these including Dr. Mohamad Bazzi’s. The Michigan plastic surgeon’s website says that breast augmentation risks include unfavorable scarring, bleeding, infection, poor healing of incisions, changes in breast or nipple sensation which can be permanent or temporary, blood clots, pain that may or may not be persistent, implant leakage or rupture, as well as many others. These risks are generally rare, but can be very serious. There is also no proven link between breast implants and breast health.

Any person thinking about receiving a tummy tuck should be considering this question, “Is it possible to have children after a tummy tuck?” While looking around online I found the answer to that question on the website of a Michigan plastic surgeon. It says, “Yes, it is possible to become pregnant and have full-term babies after a tummy tuck. However, pregnancy will re-create many deformities treated by the tummy tuck procedure.”

One of the things about a breast lift that scares me the most is the potential scarring. I wanted to know as much about scarring from the procedure as I could. I looked into it and ended up on the website of a Utah plastic surgeon. It says, “This is not to minimize the reality of a scar, but rather to suggest that most patients are very happy to have a nice, perky breast, and that in the end the scars are not as big a concern as they seem to be in the beginning.”

Many people think that laser hair removal is a very painful procedure. This is more than likely because of the media. A Miami plastic surgeon’s website says, “Topical Anesthesia can be used for areas that are more sensitive.” Typically laser hair removal is not a painful procedure and that is not only with Miami laser hair removal, but with all laser hair removal.

The strips are removed in locations that will not be apparent after healing. Both sides of the face are treated to keep a symmetrical appearance.”

Symptoms may be present for a couple of hours to days after treatment.”

After an ear pinning procedure the San Diego plastic surgeon’s website that I found says this happens. “Following ear reshaping surgery in our San Diego office, patients are wrapped in dressing for one night and are allowed to return home.” I find this much more comforting than many other procedures because you get to go home. Some procedures require that you stay at the hospital overnight. With this you can heal happier in the comfort of your own bed.

“You may be a candidate for ear pinning (otoplasty) if you have ears that stick out too far from the side of the head. You may also want to have an otoplasty procedure if your ears have an unusual or undesirable shape.” These sound just like two of the reasons I have been giving my parents for the last 2 years. Maybe if I show them the Santa Monica plastic surgeon’s website where I found this information they will finally get me the otoplasty I have been wanting.

Dr. Pasquale specializes in breast implant surgery, breast lift, breast reduction and breast revision surgery. Why not make a vacation out of it while you’re there?

I have always been embarrassed by my female like breasts. A male breast reduction would save my self-esteem from further downfall.

I went online to find out as much post-operative care facts about breast reduction as possible. I ended up finding a handful on a Chicago plastic surgeon’s website. “Following surgery, you will experience pain for several days, but it can be controlled with medication. Within a week, the surgical dressing will be replaced with a soft bra, to be worn for several weeks. Swelling and skin discoloration will partially subside in a week or two and stitches will be removed at about that time. You can return to nonphysical work in approximately one week and gradually resume fitness and other physical activities after three to four weeks.”

“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.” I recently found that on a Honolulu plastic surgeon’s website. I thought for sure when I was younger that I wouldn’t go bald, now that describes me as good as I could have done. I am devastated, and I have lost a lot of self confidence. Thankfully many plastic surgeon’s offer hair transplants so that I can revitalize my youth and confidence.

This is the least complicated technique and is easily completed in the office.”

I have been curious as to how visible the incisions are for breast augmentation. I did some searching online and found a Chicago plastic surgeon’s website. It says, “The breast incision is quite small and is placed in non-visible areas. Saline implants are placed under the chest muscles, as well as the breast, for smooth cover.”

I have been wondering when breast reconstruction can be performed. I did some online research and found a Chicago plastic surgeon’s website with my answer. It says, “The most common surgical procedure to reduce the physical deformity following mastectomy is referred to as a breast reconstruction. This is a staged procedure, that is, the surgeon first inserts a tissue expander either at the time of the mastectomy or as a delayed procedure approximately three months later.”

I’ve been looking around for information on facial rejuvenation and recently found the information most useful to me. On the website of a Newport Beach plastic surgeon, I found out what facial rejuvenation is capable of. It says, “The result of the treatment is a general tightening of the skin with obliteration of many of the fine wrinkles and scars while making the deeper wrinkles and scars less noticeable.”

A liposuction procedure to me, would save me from all of the thoughts that run through my head about how terrible I look in everything I wear. I did some online research to find out what a liposuction is capable of doing and found a Los Angeles plastic surgeon’s website. It says, “A liposuction can help such 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.”

I have a friend who thinks her only way to make herself appear “in shape” is by receiving an arm lift. I told her that she needs to lose a lot of weight to be considered for that surgery, just like any other plastic surgery procedure. She continually disagrees with me saying that her arms are the only problem. I did some research to see which one of us was correct and found a Fresno plastic surgeon’s website. It says, “Brachioplasty is not a surgical treatment for being overweight. Obese individuals who intend to lose weight should postpone all forms of body-contouring surgery until they have reached a stable weight.”

I’ve recently been considering botox injections. I want to know as much about botx injections as possible, so I researched online and found a Hawaii plastic surgeon’s website. It has information about many facial rejuvenation surgeries and says, “Botox works by improving the appearance of wrinkles in the face that are caused by muscle contraction. There is no down time required for a Botox injection. It is relatively painless and results are apparent within a few days. The effects of Botox typically last approximately four months.”

I found useful information on a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon’s website. It says, “In some individuals, the results may last only a few weeks; in others, the results may be maintained indefinitely. Researchers believe that age, genetic background, skin quality and lifestyle as well as the injected body site may all play a role in the injected material’s ’staying power.’ However, the precise reason for the variation of results among patients has yet to be identified.”

I found out that many women suffer from this problem and better yet, there is a solution. I found a Phoenix plastic surgeon’s website that describes a surgery known as inverted nipple correction. It says, “For many women these can create emotional and functional concerns. Nipples that are flat and indented can be corrected. The incision in very inconspicuous and located usually around the nipple only. The surgeon releases the tacked down tissue using small sutures to close the area.”

I did some research and found a Los Angeles plastic surgeon’s website that said, “Patients who desire a brow lift in Los Angeles may have noticed the effects of age, gravity, exposure to sunlight, and the stresses of life all taking their toll on a person’s face. Muscles and other tissues may slowly begin to droop, causing the patient to look tired or sad. Such factors may affect an individual’s confidence, leading them to seek their own brow lift in Los Angeles.”

I found a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon’s website with some useful information. It says, “The two most well known products are Restylane and Juvaderm. Since this is a natural occurring substance the body is very likely to accept this substance. Experience has shown that there are very few allergic reactions to the Hylaforms. Allergic reactions to the skin are so rare, a skin test is not typically required. The Hylaforms come as a gel, which is injected, into the deep dermal layer of the skin.”

If you consider your chin small, you may benefit from surgery. Having a larger (or “stronger”) chin can help balance one’s appearance, creating equal weight in the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face. It can offset the prominence of a large or even medium-sized nose. Enlarging the chin can also make the neck look longer and more graceful, and this can be a helpful addition to a facelift when there is blunting of the angle between lower neck and the under-chin region.

A face lift can help such individuals restore youthful vibrance and energy to the face. The effects of time are virtually undone to restore an individual’s face and to remove many of the effects of time and aging. A plastic surgeon accomplishes such effects by working with wrinkles, tightening the skin, removing fat deposits, and by tightening the underlying muscles of the face. This not only helps to restore the physical appearance of the patient, but also restores self-confidence and respect to the patient.

Immediate reconstruction has the advantage of usually saving the patient at least one subsequent operation, and has been shown to have a significant psychological benefit, as the patient never has to experience the total loss of a breast. All of the reconstruction options listed below can be performed at the time of mastectomy.

In today’s world many woman feel their breasts don’t live up to standards, or are not big enough. With this belief there is only one solution. Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses implants to refine the shape and size of the breasts. Recently, the FDA has lifted the restriction on the use of silicone implants allowing patients the choice between silicone and saline breast augmentation. Breast augmentation has seen a dramatic increase in popularity over the past three or four years, a testimony to the high satisfaction rate that most women give to the results of the surgery.

In the medical world, the fat-injection procedure is known as autologous fat transplantation or microlipoinjection. It involves extracting fat cells from the patient’s abdomen, thighs, buttocks or elsewhere and reinjecting them beneath the facial skin. Fat is most often used to fill in “sunken” cheeks or laugh lines between the nose and mouth, to correct skin depressions or indentations, to minimize forehead wrinkles and to enhance the lips.

Liposuction is one of the most frequently performed procedures. Localized fat pockets, resistant to exercise and diet, can be eliminated. The areas of the body of such accumulated fat pockets often include the hips, thighs, abdomen, neck , arms, and breasts. The best candidates are near normal weight people with elastic skin who desire an improved contour change. This procedure is usually performed under general or local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The incisions are placed in specific areas to provide the optimal contouring and aesthetic result. A fitted compression garment will be worn for about 3 to 4 weeks. Activity may be resumed in about 3 weeks and the final results will be apparent in about 3 months.

When performing breast augmentation surgery by itself, it takes great skill to place an implant correctly and achieve wonderful results. Similarly, it takes great skill to appropriately carry out a breast lift procedure by itself and re-establish a youthful looking breast. However, both of these operations have certain, relatively low levels of unpredictability when they are carried out by themselves. Unpredictability in plastic surgery originates from multiple factors, such as, individual wound healing factors, age, hormones and techniques used. When breast lifts are combined with implant placement the variables that contribute to unpredictability are multiplied several fold. Increased unpredictability sometimes makes it more difficult to achieve good results.

Typically the incisions follow the natural lines of your eyelids; in the creases of your upper lids, and just below the lashes in the lower lids. The eyelid surgery incisions may extend into the crow’s feet or laugh lines at the outer corners of your eyes. Working through these incisions, the surgeon separates the skin from underlying fatty tissue and muscle, removes excess fat, and often trims sagging skin and muscle. The incisions are then closed with very fine sutures.

Cheek implants are inserted through small incisions on the inside of the upper lip, which heal in approximately one week. A relatively minor procedure, cheek implants may be placed using only local anesthesia or with deeper sedation for patient comfort. Most implants are constructed from solid silicone, which adheres to the underlying bone and is very difficult to feel. While rare, complications may include infection or displacement of the implant requiring removal or repositioning. Over the years the art and science of facial contouring with cheek implants has evolved significantly, and there are many different styles and shapes to choose from. A successful outcome requires choosing the right size and shape of implant, and then placing that implant in the right location.

It is important to have realistic goals and expectations regarding the outcome of the surgery. It is also important to consider why you want to have nose surgery. The goal is to improve the nose aesthetically to better balance with the other facial features; sometimes breathing is improved at the same time. Rhinoplasty is performed by making small incisions on the inside of the nose. There are no external incisions. The skin is lifted off of the cartilage and bone and the nose is then sculpted to the appropriate shape. The skin is then placed back in position and dissolvable sutures are used to close the incisions inside the nose.

Oftentimes patients complain that they appear more tired than they feel. Sometimes fat is repositioned from the lower eyelid into the deep tear troughs or the deep depressions that exist at the bottom of the lower eyelids. The incisions are easily hidden below the eyelashes of the lower eyelids and sometimes performed with no incision on the lower eyelid whatsoever, called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. The upper eyelid incision is hidden very well back within the deep crease that is seen when the eye is shut, but retracts back when the eyelid is open. Many times eyelid surgery is performed at the same time as a face lift or a brow lift.

Often prospective facelift patients complain they look much more tired than they feel and are looking for a natural youthful appearance. Most patients do not want to look overdone or pulled. The key to looking natural after surgery is to tighten the underlying muscles of the face without much tension on the skin. The best facelifts do not distort the hairline behind the ears or sideburn in front of the ear. The earlobes should also be left in place without being pulled forward. The surgical incisions should be difficult to detect.

Soft-tissue fillers, most commonly injectable collagen 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.

Women who desire larger breasts may wish to have a breast enlargement (augmentation) procedure. Breast augmentation may also be indicated for women who have one breast that is noticeably smaller than the other. Breast augmentation is intended to give the patient larger and more shapely breasts. A more positive self image may also be a result of breast enlargement. Breast enlargement is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. A small incision is made under the breast and a saline breast implant is inserted under the breast tissue or under the breast tissue and the underlying muscle. The patient goes home in an elastic bra. The bra helps hold the breasts in the correct position. Initial discomfort is controlled with oral medication.

Traditional Blepharoplasty: An incision is made in the crease of the upper lid toward the temples. Once healed, it is not noticeable when the eye is open. On the lower lid, the incision is made along the lash line toward the temples, and is hidden by lashes when healed.
The Transconjunctival Approach: This is a newer technique for blepharoplasty, involving an incision inside the lower lid. Fat can be removed through this incision, but excess skin cannot be eliminated.

A face lift is a procedure which, unfortunately, can be performed by any physician - whether adequately trained or not. Most states have very little regulation on this matter. Because of this, non-plastic - or so called “cosmetic” - surgeons can perform a face lift as well. In addition, some physicians who are legitimately board certified in other specialties, such as dermatology and gynecology, for example are performing “cosmetic” surgery even though they often have never had any formal residency training in the specialty of plastic surgery itself. Weekend courses abound and the patient is often confused as to which doctor to see.

The use of compression hosiery for up to two weeks after treatment is recommended, which may be used for at least eight hours a day. Sclerotherapy can be done in other parts of the body including the face. The area in the face will be red and puffy, but the resolution tends to be very much faster. Many plastic surgeons offer the option of Laser/IPL for the delicate areas of the face. Two days before the treatment, as with any injectables, we suggest that alcohol be avoided, as well as other medications or supplements that thin blood.
