Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills: Procedures and Treatments
Thursday, September 30th, 2010There are many factors to take into consideration when it comes to cosmetic surgery.

With a highly-qualified Plastic Surgeon Beverly Hills patients are able to benefit from cosmetic surgery procedures after a consultation.

Breast Implants: A Multitude of Choices
Saturday, August 14th, 2010
The decision to get breast implants is not an easy one to make. On top of that, when one decides to get breast implants, they must also make several other important decisions regarding the procedure. First, one must ensure that they are getting breast implants that are not too big for their frame. The same size implant will look different on two different women based on their body type and height.
One of the main decisions you will make with your Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon is where the implant will be placed. During a sub-glandular placement, the implant is placed directly under your natural breast tissue. This option has a faster and easier recovery time. Also, this makes the breast look high and perky and allows for natural movement. However, the sub-glandular implants can look less natural, especially on women with little natural breast tissue. On the other hand, sub-pectoral breast implants have a longer recovery time since an incision is made in the pectoral muscle to insert the implant. In addition, mammograms can be more difficult because the implant can block part of the breast. However, many people opt for sub-pectoral breast implants because they create a more natural look. It is up to each woman to discuss these two options with their plastic surgeon.
Another important decision one must make, with a Los Angeles plastic surgery consultation, is the type of incision that will be best for the procedure. When it comes to the incision placement, usually it is best to go with your surgeon’s recommendation. An armpit or axillary incision is the most visible but allows women to breastfeed successfully. A nipple or periareolar incision is most easily concealable but creates the most difficulty with breast feeding. An inframammary incision is below the breast. It is a moderately visible incision. One lesser-known but quite popular incision is through the belly button. It is called TUBA (transumbilical breast augmentation). It is a very small, barely visible incision through the belly button. Both implants can be inserted through the same incision. This is done using an endoscope just under the skin.
When getting a breast augmentation Beverly Hills residents must decide what type of breast implants they will get. Saline breast implants are filled with a salt water solution called saline. There are several benefits to saline implants. It can be safely absorbed by the body if the implant tears. Also, they can be filled to specific amounts prior to the surgery. However, they sometimes have an undesirable rippled look. Silicone implants feel smoother and softer. They are said to have a more natural look. However, they must be checked for leaks and tears every couple of years. Cohesive gel implants are being reviewed by a select number of surgeons. They are made of a stable silicone gel and are also known as “gummy bear implants.” They have a solid consistency and will not leak into the breast tissue if ruptured. We can expect to see more of these in the near future.
When consulting with a plastic surgeon Beverly Hills residents should know information about all of these options so they can make the best decision with the help of their surgeon!
Stay Safe with United States Plastic Surgery
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010
There are many things one can do overseas that are more cost effective. More and more companies are outsourcing work to other countries these days. However, one thing that should not be done in other countries is plastic surgery! Plastic surgeons in the United States are held to higher training standards than those in other countries. If you are going to a Board Certified Los Angeles plastic surgeon in the United States, you can be assured that you are not gambling with your health. Sometimes these procedures can be significantly more affordable, but it is not worth it to get a procedure done that could turn out to have serious consequences. When opting to get a breast augmentation Beverly Hills residents are much better off staying in the United States!
Any surgical procedure can lead to risks and side effects. Pain, dizziness and nausea are very common, but there are more serious side effects which a foreign facility may not be able to treat. Significant bleeding, infection at the site of an incision, accumulation of fluid beneath the wound and others can occur during the procedure. If these aren’t treated properly, the problem can get much more serious and another surgery might be needed. In the United States, these problems can still occur, but an accredited facility is much better equipped to handle these situations. Mexico and Thailand are two of the most popular places to get plastic surgery abroad. Although these two countries will often have better facilities than some other countries – especially those in South America – they are still not going to be as safe as those in the United States.
Many of the activities associated with postoperative traveling also increase the risk for complications. When you are traveling in a car, airplane, or train, it is inevitable that you will have to do somewhat strenuous activities. For example, bag lifting and standing for long periods of time can increase recovery time and risk of complications. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, infection is the leading complication among traveling patients. In addition, traveling is also associated with higher swelling, blood clots, and pulmonary embolism rates. When traveling abroad for a breast augmentation Los Angeles patients often find themselves visiting American facilities to get secondary treatment.
In the United States, there are accrediting agencies that are usually not found in other countries. In addition, doctors must obtain hospital privileges to perform procedures. In addition, the training of doctors in other countries can be different from those in the United States. For procedures outside of the United States, it can be difficult to evaluate the medical facility, the skill of the doctor and staff, the procedure, and the devices used during the procedures. When getting breast implants Los Angeles residents are advised to stay in the United States where they can be assured of a certain level of medical care!
Common Myths about Breast Enhancement
Friday, June 25th, 2010
Getting any type of Beverly Hills plastic surgery procedure can be scary. Going under the knife can make even the bravest person very nervous. There are few surgeries that incite more nervousness than breast enhancement surgery. There are many myths surrounding breast surgeries; many of them are just that: myths. Before getting this procedure done, it is important to know what myths are true and what are false. This can help ease one’s mind significantly before the surgery.
One of the main myths surrounding breast implants is that they cause cancer. This is certainly not true. Both saline and silicone breast implants do not cause any medical diseases or illnesses. There have been studies which have proven this over and over. This myth may have originated because it is a fact that breast implants can make the detection of breast cancer via mammogram more difficult because the implants themselves can obscure about 10% of a patient’s breast tissue. Still, there are special techniques for performing mammograms on women with breast implants in order to view as much breast tissue as possible. When it comes to breast implants Beverly Hills residents can rest assured; breast implants do not increase a person’s chance of contracting breast cancer.
Another main myth surrounding breast implants is that they make breast feeding impossible. In most cases, this is false. However, there are some types of incisions that can make breast feeding more difficult. If a woman plans to breast feed some time after getting implants, she must make sure to tell her Beverly Hills plastic surgeon before undergoing the procedure. If the surgeon places the incisions in the folds under the breast or the armpit, they are less likely to disrupt milk production. A peri-areolar incision is a lot more likely to sever the milk ducts as the nipple is removed from the breast and re-adjusted. Still, even this procedure may not completely cut off milk production. If a woman is having trouble breast feeding, she should consult a lactation consultant.
Some people think that a lower priced breast surgery doesn’t compromise the result. This is not true. Although a small discount is one thing, there are costs associated with a quality surgery. A plastic surgeon should have a certified operating room, a board-certified anesthesiologist, and a surgeon certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Going abroad to get a procedure done is not a good idea. There is no way to know if the surgeon has the proper credentials and experience. Although you may cut costs by going this route, it can lead to serious health risks. When looking for a breast augmentation Beverly Hills and Los Angeles have many qualified surgeons. If money is an issue, than some offices offer no-interest payment plans.
Breast Surgery Options
Friday, June 18th, 2010
When talking about breast augmentation Los Angeles residents mainly think of breast implants. In reality, there are many different surgeries that can be done on the breasts for different reasons. In addition, these reasons are not all cosmetic; some people have other reasons for getting breast surgery.
A breast enlargement is one of the most frequently performed procedures in the United States. Many women request this procedure following pregnancy or weight loss as they want to restore the volume to their breasts. In addition, some people simply want to have larger breasts for aesthetic purposes. The size of the breast implants can be decided upon consultation with a plastic surgeon. The goal is to enlarge the breasts while also making them look and feel natural!
While getting a breast augmentation Beverly Hills residents will often opt for a breast lift (mastoplexy) as well. Gravity causes the breast tissue and skin to stretch resulting in sagging appearing breasts with low positioned nipples. Breast sagging, also known as ptosis, can occur at any age. A mastoplexy will lift the breast, the nipple, and tighten the skin of the breast. During a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon, one can decide if a breast augmentation is needed as well as a breast lift.
In the case of breast reduction Los Angeles patients often benefit greatly! This is because extremely large breasts often cause significant pain to the neck, back, and shoulder area. There are three techniques used during breast reduction surgery. The inverted T method results in a vertical and horizontal scar (hence the name). The breasts are lifted and the size of the areola is reduced. The vertical reduction technique is used for people with smaller breasts. It results in a vertical scar and a scar around the areola. The free nipple breast reduction technique is used for patients with very large breasts. This technique involves removing the nipple and areola, reducing the breast size, and suturing the nipple to the breast in a higher position.
A less common procedure is inverted nipple correction. This is performed through a small incision at the base of the nipple. A constricting band is then released and the nipple is maintained in traction for several weeks using a suture taped to the breast. This procedure may or may not influence sensory changes or inability to breast feed.
Another surprisingly popular procedure is a breast revision. One of the main reasons women undergo this procedure is because of a deflated breast implant. In addition, some women want to change out a previous implant to a smaller or larger size. Finally, some women are just not happy with the original results of a previous surgery. Most women who undergo breast surgery will have to have some kind of revision done eventually. Breast implants wear out after a few years and need to be corrected.
When consulting with a plastic surgeon Beverly Hills residents have many options when it comes to breast surgery! Speak with your plastic surgeon to learn about all your options.

Friday, May 21st, 2010
Plastic surgery is so common nowdays that even teenagers are opting for it. however, a larger chunk of population still gasps at the name of it. According to a leading Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, many people still see it as something that Hollywood starts use to hide away their age signs such as loose skin, extra layers of fat, wrinkles, fine lines etc.
Female models are notorious of getting under the knife to enhance their body contour.

Some of the common body parts that people want to improve are – breasts, eyes, face, ears, hair, nose and stomach.
• Reconstructive surgery is generally performed on accident victims. It sometimes involves the rebuilding of severely fractured bones and skin grafting and includes procedures such as implanting prosthesis (artificial structures used to replace missing limbs or other body parts like teeth, hip, knee joints etc.) or reattachment of an amputated finger or toe.

Popularity of Plastic Surgery Procedures
Saturday, May 1st, 2010
There have been some surprising statistics in the past year regarding plastic surgery. Among Latinos in the United States, plastic surgery rates have been increasing. On the other hand, plastic surgery rates among Asian Americans have been declining. This is a reversal of previous findings. Hispanics underwent an estimated 1.5 million procedures last year, up 12 percent from 2008. Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeons were interviewed regarding this trend, and they are not sure of the reason for the increase in procedures for this group. However, they report that the most popular procedures for Latinos are breast augmentations, liposuction and nose jobs. These statistics were compiled through a survey by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The organization also reported a decrease in Asian American plastic surgery procedures. The number of procedures has decreased 17 percent since 2008. Some surgeons say that it is because Asian American patients, as a whole, are very cautious during the worst of the recession. Three years ago, Asian American patients were turning to plastic surgery at a faster pace than any other group according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Their most popular procedures were nose jobs, eyelid surgery, and breast augmentations. In addition, African Americans reportedly underwent 5 percent more plastic surgeries between 2008 and 2009. Their most popular surgical procedures are liposuction, nose jobs, and breast reductions.
These findings conclude that African Americans and Hispanics have continued the trend of increases in plastic surgery, while Asian Americans have reversed the trend with a decrease in the procedures. It will be very interesting to see what the trends are like as the United States begins to emerge from the recession of the last few years. The trends could completely change as the unemployment rate decreases and people begin to have more money to spend.
Rhinoplasty Beverly Hills – What’s to be Expected
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
Rhinoplasty has become quite a popular surgery in the past few years. Since your nose (along with your smile) is one of the first things people notice about you, it’s easy to develop poor self esteem or feel self conscious if you’re unhappy with how it looks. Rhinoplasty Beverly Hills is a place where you can go to get rhinoplasty done and feel confident that your results will be amazing.
When you do elect to have the surgery you’ll have an array of changes done to your nose. The size and shape will be sculpted to fit the shapes of your other facial features and the overall appearance will be drastically enhanced. And though it will improve your look you have to go into the surgery with realistic expectations. You have to know that it will look better but may not live up to your expectations for how it might change your life. It’s a big step and needs to be thoughtfully considered before choosing to opt for rhinoplasty Los Angeles.
Though rhinoplasty is often a cosmetic surgery, sometimes it’s done for health reasons. The structure of some people’s noses is abnormal from injuries or it may just be the way their nose was formed (during birth your septum can actually be affected). If you have a deviated septum, it can cause you to snore which obviously can be pretty annoying and disturbing to you or anyone sleeping in near proximity to you. Tummy tuck Beverly Hills can fix the problem and even do more work on your nose since you’ll already be there and on the operating table.
If you’re considering breast augmentation Beverly Hills, you’ll need to plan for your recovery. As with any surgery, your recovery will be unique to you but similar to that of other people. A dull headache will usually follow the surgery but severe pain is not usually experienced. Bruising and swelling on the nose and cheeks will appear and the amount will vary depending on your own body. Congestion is common since the inside of your nose will be swollen. This usually lasts for a few weeks. Sleeping after rhinoplasty surgery can be pretty difficult and your doctor may recommend a sleep aid immediately following the surgery. Another important thing to remember about recovery is that you shouldn’t blow your nose until your doctor gives you the go ahead.
