Face Lift by Dr. Karam

2010-02-09T13:45:00.000-08:00

As a prospective patient seeking aesthetic consultation, you should diligently review your prospective surgeon’s before-and-after results to determine whether or not that practitioner shares your aesthetic vision. Carmel Valley Facial Plastic Surgery has a strong reputation for producing natural looking results no matter how dramatic the change. Depending on the individuals anatomy, lifestyle, degree of age-related changes, and the amount of downtime and cost the individual is able to handle, several options are available to re-contour the face.

The Facelift addresses the upper cheeks, midface, jowls, jawline, corners of the mouth and neck. The difference between this procedure and the Micro Lift (Mini Facelift) is that the upper cheeks and midface are addressed. Essentially, the same incisions are used in both procedures. Individuals with moderate amount of skin and muscle laxity are good candidates for this procedure. The neck is treated with liposuction and the muscle is tightened and repositioned. The midface and upper cheeks are treated by repositioning the malar (cheek) fat pad back toward a more youthful position.

There are so many new and different treatments available now. Even more fascinating - there are also different ways to perform each treatment. Given this great variety, the surgeon's techniques have become as unique as the treatments and the right combination can produce stunning results.

Eyelid Rejuvenation in San Diego

2010-02-09T11:39:00.000-08:00

Your eyes are the first thing others see when they look at your face. An immediate impression is formed about your age, energy, and fatigue level. Often you feel well rested and full of energy, but to others you look tired. Many of patients come in telling me that people comment that they look tired when in fact they are not. This can create a significant negative impression, both socially and professionally. And when it comes to rejuvenation of the eyes this concern is the most common reason people seek help.

As we age, we lose volume in certain parts of our face while we gain volume in other parts. Generally speaking, the region around our eyes and cheeks begins to lose fat, while the jowls and neck begins to gain fat. This progression has little to do with your body weight. The fat volume in the upper cheek and around the eyes is genetically predisposed to volume loss. Adding volume is the most effective way of rejuvenating the eyes. The real advantage is that it is non-surgical and highly effective

As a prospective patient seeking aesthetic consultation, you should diligently review your prospective surgeon’s before-and-after results to determine whether or not that practitioner shares your aesthetic vision. Carmel Valley Facial Plastic Surgery has a strong reputation for producing natural looking results no matter how dramatic the change..

Your Beautiful Nose

2010-02-04T11:09:00.000-08:00

The Keyes Surgicenter for Cosmetic Surgery is designed to provide advanced and comprehensive, cosmetic surgical services for those who wish to improve or refine a facial or body feature. The majority of cosmetic procedures are performed on an outpatient basis.

Nasal surgery patients are very specific on what they want especially when it comes to reshaping their nose. The skin that separates the nostrils inside the nose is comprised of bone and cartilage. It may become twisted or deviated , either through birth, or as the result of an injury. Due to this deviation, the air flow pattern through the nose may be altered causing it to be hard to breathe. The nose may also appear to be crooked with a 'hump'. There are three basic procedures that involve alteration of the nose are: rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and tiplasty.

The approach to nasal surgery or rhinoplasty varies from individual to individual. Patients may have a specific area of the nose they want improved. Ethnic characteristics must be respected when enhancing the appearance of the African-American, Asian, Caucasian, Hispanic or the Middle Eastern nose.

Dr. Keyes has the distinction of being certified by two medical boards, The American Board of Plastic Surgery and The American Board of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. Both these surgical specialties substantiate training for cosmetic surgical procedures.

Breast Reduction in Santa Monica

2010-01-29T08:33:00.000-08:00

Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammoplasty, is designed for such women. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to give the woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body.

In most cases, breast reduction isn't performed until a woman's breasts are fully developed; however, it can be done earlier if large breasts are causing serious physical discomfort. The best candidates are those who are mature enough to fully understand the procedure and have realistic expectations about the results. Breast reduction is not recommended for women who intend to breast-feed.

Your surgeon should describe the procedure in detail, explaining its risks and limitations and making sure you understand the scarring that will result. The surgeon should also explain the anesthesia he or she will use, the facility where the surgery will be performed, and the costs. (Some insurance companies will pay for breast reduction if it's medically necessary; however, they may require that a certain amount of breast tissue be removed. Check your policy, and have your surgeon write a "predetermination letter" if required.)

Breast reduction doesn't usually require a blood transfusion. However, if a large amount of breast tissue will be removed, your physician may advise you to have a unit of blood drawn ahead of time. That way, if a transfusion should be needed, your own blood can be used.

Your surgeon will make every effort to make your scars as inconspicuous as possible. Still, it's important to remember that breast reduction scars are extensive and permanent. They often remain lumpy and red for months, then gradually become less obvious, sometimes eventually fading to thin white lines. Fortunately, the scars can usually be placed so that you can wear even low-cut tops.

For a breast reduction in Santa Monica contact Southern California Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Steven Teitelbaum today.

Facial Implants in Santa Monica

2010-01-28T12:31:00.000-08:00

Plastic surgeons use facial implants to improve and enhance facial contours. Frequently, these implants will help provide a more harmonious balance to your face and features so that you feel better about the way you look. There are many implants available, manufactured from a variety of materials. They may help strengthen a jaw line or bring the chin or cheekbones into balance with the rest of the face.

Cheek implant surgery usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes. When cheek implants are being placed in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure, such as a facelift, forehead lift or eyelid surgery, the implants may be inserted through the incisions made for those procedures. Otherwise, an incision will be made either inside your upper lip or your lower eyelid. A pocket is then formed and an implant is inserted.

If it is the chin that you are looking to have improved the surgery is similar to the cheek. Insertion of a chin implant may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. During the procedure, the surgeon selects the proper size and shape implant to enhance your appearance and inserts it into a pocket over the front of the jawbone. The small incision to create the pocket and insert the implant is placed inside the mouth (along the lower lip) or in the skin just under the chin area.

Which ever surgery you decide you want to have, you should know that Dr. Teitelbaum is one of the best. Dr. Teitelbaum is recognized as one of the top aesthetic surgeons in the United States not only because of his rigorous academic training, but also for his highest-possible standards of patient care.

As we age, the eyebrows begin to shift downward from the inexorable pull of gravity. The Tissues around the mouth roll inward forming the Nasolabial Folds (fold from the corner of the nose to the mouth) and the Jowls (fold from the corner of the mouth to the jaw). Similar aging and tissue shifting occurs in the neck where tissues slides towards the midline accumulating under the chin. Reversing the signs of facial aging used to mean some type of open facelift. Although the facelift still remains the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, clearly there are many individuals seeking a more youthful appearance who do not need a facelift. The Thread Lift and Suture Suspension Lifts are a great way to roll back the clock and look years younger with a minimally invasive procedure.

Rhinoplasty can be performed to alter nasal size or shape whether it is traumatic or genetically acquired. Unattractive nasal features such as a wide bulbous tip, wide nasal bridge, large dorsal hump, malformed/asymmetric tip, crooked nose, or a deviated septum causing breathing problems are readily correctable. Even in the case of prior surgery, the nose can most often be substantially softened and the overall shape vastly improved.

Facial Surgery in Santa Monica

Facial rejuvenation includes both surgical and non-surgical options with the goal of achieving natural and pleasing results. Simple preventive steps can help delay the appearance of aging and improve surgical outcomes at any age. Facial rejuvenation and enhancement in the male patient is different than in the female patient. Often, techniques that are commonly utilized in women cause an unnatural and feminine look in the male patient.

Once your goals have been determined, you will set a date for this procedure in Santa Monica and will be given instructions about how to prepare.

Forehead lift is often performed in conjunction with a facelift to provide a smoother overall look to the face.

Perfect body in Santa Monica

2010-01-25T09:48:00.000-08:00

For patients with excess skin in the abdomen and loss of abdominal muscle tone due to pregnancy or weight loss, Dr. Nabavian will perform the abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedure. Tummy tuck outcomes can be improved by incorporating liposuction in order to restore the natural curves of the body. Placement of the scar can be modified based on patients’ fashion preferences.

The surgery is particularly helpful to women who, through multiple pregnancies, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they can return to normal. Loss of skin elasticity in older patients, which frequently occurs with slight obesity, can also be improved.

You can reduce your risk of complications by closely following your surgeon's instructions before and after the surgery, especially with regard to when and how you should resume physical activity.

Dr. Nabavian’s office is located in the Medical Center of Santa Monica adjacent to St. John's Health Center. His practice serves Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and Southern California.

Face Lift in North Carolina

Sun exposure, the effects of gravity, and the stresses of daily life can age the face, jaw line, and neck of women and men.

Liposuction Today

2010-01-14T10:39:00.000-08:00

You may be a candidate for liposuction if you have excess subcutaneous fat, which is resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction may also be desirable if you wish to change the contours of your body. Commonly involved areas are the anterior part of the neck (under the chin), upper arms and armpits, male chest/breasts, trunk, abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, inner knees, calves, and ankles. Most patients are near normal weight and desire permanent contour changes.

Patients who have had children or experienced a history of significant weight gain followed by weight loss often have excess skin (with or without excess fat) as their primary problem and will benefit most from some form of excisional surgery. Post-Bariatric Surgery patients often have excess skin in a number of areas necessitating more than one procedure.

The Breast Lift

2010-01-11T09:17:00.000-08:00

A breast lift (also known as a mastopexy) is a procedure designed to enhance the appearance of breasts.

Many women find that aging, weight loss, or child birth leave them with a loss of tone and volume in the breast area. This leads to sagging and drooping of the breasts. Mastopexy is a surgical option that restores breasts to a more "perky" state.

How is a Breast Lift Performed?

There are several types of breast lift procedures, which are divided into the categories of full and modified breast lifts.

Full breast lifts are the most common, and are known for pleasing, lifting results. This procedure involves a horizontal incision along the bottom of the breasts, an incision around the areola, and a vertical incision that connects the two. Excess skin is removed and the areolas are repositioned to their proper place on the breasts.

Modified breast lifts involve fewer incisions. There are several different types of modified breast lift procedures like breast augmentation.

Commonly known as the "doughnut" method, the most popular modified breast lift involves removing a ring of skin from around the areola. Other modified breast lifts are variations on this technique.

What are the Risks Involved in Having a Breast Lift?

As with any surgery that involves incisions, there will be some scarring. The placement of the incisions helps to reduce their visibility, and most patients find that their scars heal and fade nicely over time. However all people heal and react to surgery differently, so individual results may vary.

Any surgery also comes with the risk of infection. Open wounds like those from surgical incisions always have the potential to become infected if not properly cared for or if the patient has a weak immune system. Severe infections can result in loss of tissue or even death.

Choosing the Right Plastic Surgeon for Your Mastopexy

Asking around for word-of-mouth recommendations is one of the best ways to get honest feedback about surgeons in your area. Inquire with friends and family members to see if anyone has had any experiences good or bad, with any doctors you are considering.

If you visit a family doctor or general practitioner, don't be afraid to as them if there is a surgeon they would recommend. People in different areas of the medical field tend to know each other, and your doctor should be able to offer sound advice.

When having an operation, it is important to find a surgeon that you trust and are comfortable with. Be sure you are personally comfortable with your doctor before committing to the procedure. If you feel uncomfortable at all, do not be afraid to walk away! Contact a plastic surgeon today.

Cosmetic Surgery

2009-12-18T13:15:00.000-08:00

Ever looked in the mirror and wanted to improve your appearance in one way or another? Thought about cosmetic surgery and worried about the procedure, recovery and cost? The procedures in cosmetic surgery increase year after year, leaving millions of patients happy with their results. The aim of cosmetic surgery is to enhance a particular appearance through surgical techniques. These surgeries are aimed to maintain, restore or enhance some aesthetic feature of the patient. Some patients elect to have cosmetic surgery due to a birth mark, physical defect, burns or an injury. Other patients elect to have cosmetic surgery with hopes of changing certain features of their body in a positive way.

Surgeons reshape the appearance of body parts through cosmetic surgery. The most common forms of cosmetic surgery are:
• Breast augmentation or breast implant
• Rhinoplasty or the reshaping of the nose
• Abdominoplasty or a tummy tuck
• Liposuction or the removal of accumulated fat in the body
• Buttock augmentation or implants into the buttocks to cause tightening or lift
• Rhytidectomy or a face life, which can also include browplasty (brow lift) and mid face life (cheek lift)
• Blepharoplasty or surgery that reshape the eyelids and can include the permanent application of eye makeup to the patient
• Otoplasty or the reconstruction of a patient’s ears, typically pinning the lobes closer to the head
• Botox is a non-surgical form of cosmetic surgery that uses injections to help reduce wrinkles on the face

To help ensure you have a successful surgery, doctors typically state good candidates are patients that are at least 18 years of age and in good overall health with no medical history of heart problems, blood conditions or any other medical condition that may negatively impact the recovery or success of the surgery.

Deciding to have cosmetic is a major decision. It is a personal decision and one that should be thought out thoroughly and discussed with an accredited physician at length. Request reviews from previous patients and verify the doctor has performed this particular procedure successfully before. The process can be costly, with numerous procedures not covered by insurance. Often, physician’s offices can establish payment plans to help with the cost of surgery.

Plastic Surgery: A Personal Choice

2009-12-15T10:40:00.000-08:00

The reasons for wanting plastic surgery are as varied and as unique as the patients themselves. Everyone who considers plastic surgery has their own reasons for doing so.

Sometimes plastic surgery is done to reclaim the body from the ravages of disease. Psychologically speaking, cosmetic surgery is part of the healing process for some people. A woman who beat breast cancer, but lost a breast might not feel completely victorious until she’s undergone breast surgery. A woman who lives with PCOS may find it easier to cope with the risks of the syndrome if laser hair removal eliminates the unwanted hair on her face. A man whose teenage years were plagued with severe acne might find more confidence if the appearance of his scars is reduced. People who have won the battle with obesity and have lost a drastic amount of weight may want or need excess skin removed. People, who are born with disfiguring birth defects or the parents of children born with disfiguring birth defects such as a cleft palate, often find hope in plastic surgery.

Sometimes plastic surgery is used to erase damage from injury. People who survive fires, explosions, war, or a violent attack may find that the scars act as permanent reminders of the trauma. These people may find that their lives are enriched if they can reduce the appearance of scars.

For other people, cosmetic surgery is just that—cosmetic. They want to look as young as they feel. For some people dying gray hair is enough to bridge the divide between what is in the mirror and what is in their heart. Face lifts, collagen injections, and other practices can remove years from someone’s appearance.

Plastic surgery can also be used to change something someone doesn’t like about their appearance. Rhinoplasty is a common cosmetic procedure. The nose is in the center of the face and can change the way the entire face looks. If someone is unhappy with their nose, it can be changed. Liposuction is often used by athletic people who just can’t seem to get rid of the fat in a specific area.

The reasons for considering plastic surgery vary, but they’re always deeply personal. If something is really bothering someone about their appearance, then it’s not a trivial concern. It’s not egotistical vanity. Plastic surgery is something people do to feel better about themselves and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Getting A Nose Job Can Be A Life Changing Experience

2009-11-30T12:22:00.001-08:00

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that changed my life. I was born with an abnormally large nose that caused my face to look very out of balance and a few months ago I decided that now that I have finished growing, now would be a good time to search for a plastic surgery procedure to possibly reshape my nose and make it smaller so that it might be more balanced with the rest of my face.

I decided to search the internet and while I was searching I found a site called www.nabavian.com and on that site I learned that "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."

I was very relieved to find out that there was a procedure that seemed to be perfect for what I wanted to accomplish and I decided to talk to a plastic surgeon near me and have this procedure done.

It has now been 3 months since the surgery and I am extremely happy with the results.

What Can Rhinoplasty Do For You?

2009-11-17T12:43:00.000-08:00

A Rhinoplasty surgery can be very beneficial in many different ways including changing the shape and size of your nose to make it more balanced with the rest of your face. Rhinoplasty can also open up nasal airways to make it easier for those who have trouble breathing, to be able to breath.

A few months ago, before I knew about Rhinoplasty, I was in a car accident and in the process my nose was broken badly and healed in such a way that my nose had a large lump on the top of it making it very ugly. My nasal airways also had become smaller through the healing process, making it hard for me to breathe. I decided that it would be beneficial for me to research different plastic surgeries to see if there was one that could correct my breathing problems and make my nose go back to normal.

While searching the internet I found a site called drgolshani.com and on that site I learned about Rhinoplasty and how through this procedure I could have both my breathing problem corrected and my nose reshaped to a normal state. This was perfect, I could finally have my old nose again, and I was very excited. Soon afterward I called the surgeon and set up a consultation to talk about how this procedure will be done, and now that I have had it done I am very happy with the results.

Reduce Excess Skin And Fat On Your Arms With Upper Arm Lift Surgery

2009-11-13T13:08:00.001-08:00

Lately my grandma has been very self conscious about her appearance and wishes that the extra fat and skin hanging from her upper arms would just go away. She had never heard of a plastic surgery procedure that could remove all of this fat and skin, just like she wanted. So I browsed the internet with her and was able to show her how this procedure works and how it is perfect for her.

We found a website called bazziplasticsurgery.com that taught us everything we needed to know about this procedure called Upper Arm Lift Surgery and how it:
"* Reduces excess skin and fat between the underarm and the elbow
* Reshapes your arm to result in smoother skin and contours
* Results in a more toned and proportionate appearance"

My grandma was so excited to learn about this procedure that she called up the surgeon that very day and set up an appointment to have a consultation with him. She is now well on her way to receiving an Upper Arm Lift Surgery of her own.

Wrinkle Reduction Through Injectable Fillers

2009-11-12T12:45:00.000-08:00

I am getting to the point in my life where my face is starting to wrinkle quite a bit and it is making me look tired and irritated all the time. I decided that I wanted to do anything I could to not allow this to happen to me and I had heard of different plastic surgery procedures and injections that can make me look a lot younger so I decided to search online for one that would help me the most.

While searching online I found a site called bazziplasticsurgery.com that taught me about Wrinkle Reduction by injection and how "If you would like to restore facial contours, or reduce the appearance of lines and creases, injection therapy with soft tissue fillers may be right for you."
And How
"Injectable fillers can:

* Plump thin lips
* Enhance shallow contours
* Soften facial creases and wrinkles
* Improve the appearance of recessed scars"

After reading the information on this website I had learned everything I needed to know to be able to decide whether or not this procedure would be good for me and I now know that this is definitely what I want to do.

Lip Augmentation Can Increase The Size And Shape Of Your Lips

2009-11-04T10:14:00.000-08:00

A few days ago I started to wonder how some people could have such perfect lips. I thought to my self, all of those people couldn't have just been born with just perfect lips so I decided to do some research to find out if there was a plastic surgery procedure that could make people's lips so perfect.

While searching the internet I found a website called Drfpalmer.com and It talked about a plastic surgery procedure called Lip Augmentation and how it enhances the shape and size of your lips, and that "Lip Augmentation does have the ability to add balance to this area. Enhancing the size and shape of the lips may aesthetically improve the entire lower 1/3 of the face."

Lip Augmentation seemed like it could definitely be a big part of how people attain perfect lips and this seemed like something that even I could benefit from. I will definitely keep this procedure in mind if I ever want to improve the way I look in the future.

Rhinoplasty Can Open Up Nasal Airways To Allow Easier Breathing

2009-11-03T15:57:00.001-08:00

While watching t.v. a few months ago I saw a commercial that talked about plastic surgery and the benefits of Rhinoplasty, they talked about how it can change the shape of your nose, to be more balanced with your face, and how it can also open nasal airways to allow breathing to be easier.

As I saw this commercial it reminded me of how when I sleep I have a lot of trouble breathing because my airways are smaller than they need to be to get good airflow. I decided that it might be worth it to research this Rhinoplasty surgery to learn whether it would be a good procedure for me or not.

While searching the internet I found a site called smithplasticsurgery.com and on that site I learned in their Rhinoplasty section that "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."

This was very exciting to me to know that there was a procedure out there that I could get and be able to finally breath easily and sleep well at night. I then set up an appointment to talk to the surgeon and now, a few months later, I am very happy with my results and can finally get a good night's sleep.

Otoplasty Can Correct Misshapen Ears, And Reduce Their Size

2009-11-03T14:14:00.001-08:00

Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is commonly conducted to make big or abnormally shaped ears set back closer to the your head or to change the size of them.

Most of the time, this surgery is conducted on young people between the ages of 4 and fourteen. The less teasing and name calling the child will have to endure the better, and the ears are almost full size at about age four, so the earlier the surgery is done, the better. Otoplasty for adults is also commonly done, and there are usually no added risks with ear surgery on an older patient compared to a younger one.

If you are thinking about otoplasty for you or your child, this information will give you a basic understanding of how it's performed, the procedure-when it can help, and what end result you can expect.

Making The Decision To Get Breast Augmentation

2009-10-30T16:16:00.000-07:00

While walking through the park the other day I got a call from a very good friend of mine who needed some advice. She wanted to know what my opinion was on Breast implants and Breast Augmentation. I told her that I didn't really know enough on the subject to have an opinion on it, so we decided to go to her house and search the internet for more information about breast augmentation.

While searching the internet we found a site called dr-adams.com and on that website we learned all about breast augmentation and how the type of breast augmentation this doctor does is "An outpatient operation that improves and increases the size and shape of your breast by inserting a Saline (salt- water) implant." and what it accomplishes is "It enhances the breast size and contour, and may give your body a more harmonious balance. It can also correct and dramatically improve breast/body proportion and balance after pregnancy."

By the time we had finished reading about breast augmentation my friends mind was just about made up and she was certain that this was what she wanted to have done, and she was confident that it would be a good decision for her.

I am very happy for her and am very excited to see the results.

Thinking About Your Rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills, California

2009-10-09T15:04:00.000-07:00

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, can have a strong effect on the overall appearance of a face. Adjusting the width of the bridge, changing a large, bulbous, or upturned tip, and fixing humps and depressions in the profile are just some of the reasons Americans select this procedure. Dr. Marc Mani performs rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills, California, and points out that breathing can be improved through cosmetic nose surgery, as well.

As with any elective surgery, rhinoplasty involves risks, but can wait as long as you need. You can take all the time you want beforehand to learn about the procedure, the risks and benefits, and what doctor will be right for you. If you smoke, it's not a bad idea to quit since smoking impairs your ability to heal, and your surgeon will likely expect you to avoid smoking for a certain period before and after the date of your surgery, anyway. To learn more, schedule a consultation for your Los Angeles nose surgery with Dr. Mani.

Gynecomastia Surgery in Los Angeles

2009-10-05T15:24:00.000-07:00

More men will develop gynecomastia than will not, and of those who consider breast reduction for men, more men are now undergoing additional procedures at the same time. Most commonly, these men are receiving liposuction of the waist, love handles, and stomach, followed by liposuction of the chin and otoplasty. Why is plastic surgery becoming more prevalent for men? Today’s competitive business environment puts pressure on many men to look younger and more vigorous, and simply looking thinner and more fit is desirable professionally as well as socially.

There are two methods of treating gynecomastia. Excision, which is just cutting away unwanted tissue, used to be the only option. Liposuction is more commonly associated with body contouring around the waist, but is quite useful in addressing fat deposits of the chest, though excision is still necessary for firmer glandular gynecomastia tissue. Most patients will need some combination of the two. Because any surgery involves some risk, schedule a consultation with a board certified surgeon to learn more. With his experience in cosmetic surgery for men, Dr. Steven Teitelbaum can help you in making the decisions that are right for you.

Los Angeles -- Plastic Surgery Breast Lift

2009-10-05T13:46:00.000-07:00

When the forces of time and gravity team with pregnancy and nursing (among others), a woman’s breasts tend to sag, losing their shape, volume, and firmness. Sagging breasts can be lifted with a breast lift in Los Angeles, where breast lift procedures are frequently performed in combination with breast enhancement by plastic surgeon Dr. Marc Mani to increase firmness, size, and position.

As with any surgical procedure, cosmetic or otherwise, realistic expectations and emotional stability are important. Any size of breasts can be lifted, but women with smaller breasts will enjoy longer lasting results. A breast lift will not affect your ability to nurse because the ducts are left intact, but if you are planning any future pregnancy, breast lift surgery would be better postponed because of the effect pregnancy can have on your breasts. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is not a particularly simple procedure, but it is usually safe when performed by a qualified surgeon.

Rhinoplasty for medical reasons.

2009-09-29T13:08:00.001-07:00

Rhinoplasty (or Nose Refinement Surgery) is the most cosmetic surgery performed today. 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 and help relieve some breathing problems.
The best candidates for Rhinoplasty are people who are looking for improvement in the way they look, are physically healthy, psychologically stable, and have realistic expectations. During the initial consultation, the surgeon will evaluate the structure of your nose and face and discuss the possibilities for enhancement with you. The Doctor will also explain some factors that can influence the procedure and results. These factors include the structure of your nasal bones and cartilage, the shape of your face, the thickness of your skin, your age, and your expectations.

New Breasts, New Wardrobe...

2009-09-22T09:45:00.000-07:00

One of the biggest advantages breast augmentation is the incredible wardrobe change that may occur following recovery from the procedure. It might be wise to visit with a personal shopper who can help you make the best fitting purchases for the new you.
The thought of alterations becomes a thing of the past after breast augmentation. The choices tend to be greater with a wealth of possibilities, including:

Advantages for Tank Tops and Halters
Spaghetti Straps
V-Neck
Versatility in suiting such as dress suits and leisure suits
Greater bathing suit choices
Formal wear expansiveness
Sundress
Sweaters
Lingerie

Have fun with it, but realize that your new shape may call for a larger shirt size…

Why Women get Breast Implants…

2009-09-21T09:55:00.000-07:00

There are as many reasons for getting breast implants as there are unique women in the world. Some women experience a reduction in breast size due to weight loss, while other women experience a loss of elasticity in breast tissue as a part of the natural aging process. If you have naturally small breasts and you want to stop worrying about them once and for all, a breast implant procedure may be right for you.

Good breast implants can do a lot more than simply augment appearance. For a growing number of women, procedures such as these have offered a way to level the playing course and partake of the same physical gifts some people simply get through genetics. The boost in confidencethat accompanies such enhancement is often well worth the operation.

Men and pectoral implants…

2009-09-18T08:24:00.001-07:00

Pectoral implants, most frequently selected by men, are becoming an ever more popular choice to increase the appearance of chest muscles. Many candidates have tried through diet and exercise to increase chest muscle mass but are unable to develop the desired size and shape. Likewise, some people are attempting to correct a birth defect or the results from injury.
Pectoral implants add volume to the chest because the solid silicone material is inserted behind the real muscle. Therefore, anyone considering the procedure should be aware that implants do not increase the amount of muscle definition. Muscle tone, body fat and skin elasticity contribute to the actual definition of the chest muscles. You should contact Dr. Teitelbaum’s office for your consultation today.
As with all surgeries, possible candidates should be well informed, consider all risks and follow the advice of their physician before and after the surgery.

Male chest surgery

2009-09-17T09:43:00.001-07:00

Gynecomastia can be emotionally devastating. A man or boy with
gynecomastia struggles with anxiety over such simple acts as taking off his shirt at the beach. For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, breast-reduction surgery can help.
Male breast reduction 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.
Contact your surgeon today for a consultation. You no longer have to live with the embarrassment of swollen breasts.

Men’s Summertime Body Issues…

2009-05-12T08:21:00.001-07:00

Summertime means beautiful bodies, swimming, beaches … What about the men who suffer from gynecomastia??? No shirtless tanning… Swimming with your shirt on??? Come on there has to be a better solution than that… Well there is…

Liposuction is a fat removal system that can work wonders on gynecomastia. Liposuction is a fairly easy process to go through. It is an outpatient procedure that has immediate results. After lipo, you are required to wear a compression garment for a while, so don’t plan on hitting the beach the next week, but healing is relatively faster than traditional surgery.

If your case is a little more complex, you may be looking at surgery to actually go in and remove the tissue that cannot be removed by liposuction. Healing is a bit longer, but scaring is minimal. With the right surgeon, you will be showing your new beach body in no time…

Gynecomastia and what to expect…

2009-05-11T13:53:00.000-07:00

When looking to treat your gynecomastia, you want to have a surgeon who is experienced and has vast knowledge about the best way to go about treating your particular case. Knowing if you should be treated by a simple liposuction procedure, or a more extensive surgery, it is good to know that your surgeon will make the right decision for your situation.

What types of anesthesia is necessary for your surgery is probably one of your concerns as well. Truth be told, you usually have 1 of 3 choices. Local, IV Sedation, and General anesthesia. Local and IV is for the cases that require only a little bit of liposuction. The more severe cases will require you to go under general anesthesia. You can talk to your surgeon about your choices at the time of your consultation.

After your surgery is done, you will go home with a set of instructions. For most men, the pain is mild. It is said that you feel like you got punched in the chest. Wearing of a compression bandage will help with the healing. As for scaring, it is minimal. Ask your surgeon for before and after pictures to give you an idea of what to expect.

What is Gynecomastia???

2009-05-11T11:41:00.000-07:00

Gynecomastia is something that about 90% of the adolescent male population has… Gynecomastia is a puffiness of the breast tissue that will flatten or go away as the teen becomes a man in his early twenties. Not surprising, some men suffer from this issue well into their adulthood, causing embarrassment, and hesitation while undressing in public.

First of all, men need to understand that they are not alone. Many men suffer from this disorder. Men don’t share their body issues much, so it is not a commonly talked about disorder. Plastic surgeons do offer hope.

There are several ways you can treat gynecomastia. You can have liposuction on the area, or for more extensive cases, your surgeon will go in and cut the tissue out. Leaving you with a flattering, more masculine appearance.

What is capsular contracture…

2009-05-11T09:18:00.001-07:00

Capsular Contracture is something that you should be aware of when you decide to have breast implants put in... When something foreign is placed into your body, your immune system automatically wants to fight it. Scar tissue is developed around the implant forming a capsule of thick tissue. This capsule can contract causing the implant to tighten; therefore causing pain and deformity of the breast to happen.

Many techniques have been developed to help eliminate the capsule contracture from happening… Using textured implants as well as placement within the breast can help as well as massage of the implant after surgery.

If capsular contracture happens to you, know that it can be fixed. A good surgeon knows how to remove the capsule and replace the implant giving you relief of your situation. Be sure that you talk to your surgeon, and find out what your options are.

The Burden of Big Breasts…

2009-05-08T10:51:00.001-07:00

Some people might think that having a fuller figure is a gift. But many of the women who have larger breasts will tell you that they are a burden. Heavy, and hot, they can cause medical problems that you may not have even thought of. Heavy breasts can cause back and neck problems. Bras are hard to fit, and straps dig into the shoulders making them painful to the touch.

Underneath the breast can get sweaty, causing itching and odor. For some acne can develop as well as a painful yeast infection. Powder and creams are available to help alleviate the problems, but that is just a cover, not a solution to the problem.

Breast reduction may be your way to a healthy more comfortable lifestyle. Many plastic surgeons offer breast reduction services, as well as a breast lift option. You should talk with your doctor today about your situation; many times you can get your insurance to cover this surgery. There are financing options available to you as well.

Teens and plastic surgery

2009-05-05T09:23:00.000-07:00

When it comes to teenagers, most people don’t think of plastic surgery for them. However, there are certain situations that a parent may want to consider having plastic surgery performed. Some children are born with awkward looking or larger than normal features; such as large nose or big ears…

Let’s be honest here... Remember the torture the teenage girl went through having a large nose… Kids can be so cruel… As a parent, I would not want my child to go through that needless torture. Not when it can be fixed by surgical means.

If your child was born with a cleft palate you would not hesitate consulting a surgeon right? Well growing up with needless torture and teasing can be just as damaging to their self esteem.

Speak to your surgeon, know the risks, and find out what your options are. Speak candidly with your teen. Know what they are feeling about the situation. Assure them that you are on their side, and are willing to do anything to help them. They might feel that they can work through it, but for those few who can’t, there is help.

What you need to know…

2009-05-04T13:38:00.001-07:00

When deciding to have plastic surgery done, you may want to look for information on the particular procedure you want to have performed. Please know that not all information you read is correct. There are many different views and many things to take into consideration when looking for answers.
The best way for you to be informed on the surgery you want to have done, is to schedule a consultation with your surgeon. He or she can go over your medical history, medications, as well as how you might respond to the different types of anesthesia offered.
You need to, after all your life will be in their hands. You can check his/her accreditations and ask for testimonials. You always want to go with a board certified surgeon. And remember, good surgeon will always welcome your questions; and reward you with reassurance, and straight forward answers.

Not all breasts are created equal…

2009-05-04T10:20:00.000-07:00

Being a woman does not always mean that you are born with beautiful curves. Some women we were short changed in the breast department. Many women are willing to just accept what they were born with, average size, not to big, but not tiny either. But on the other hand, for some, that may not be an option.

Some women are born with breast asymmetry. Most all women have some degree of breast asymmetry, but a small percentage of women have a significant size difference. This can be very damaging to a woman’s self esteem. Dating and relationships can become a huge issue. Clothing is another problem. Underwear not fitting, tight shirts, and imagine having to wear a swimming suit and hoping that nobody notices your breast are a different size.

For most men and women, the breast area is the first place the eyes are drawn to. If having a breast augmentation is going to help you feel more confident, I say do it. Find a board certified surgeon, who has a ton of experience, and of course testimonials; and make that appointment today!!!

You can pretty much pick and choose what part of your body needs the work, and you and Dr. Collins can decide what is the best surgery or surgeries that fit your needs.

Reasons for having a Breast Augmentation…

2009-04-24T08:08:00.000-07:00

When a woman makes the decision to have their breasts done, are they really having it done for the betterment of their bodies??? Or is she having it done for the man she wants to please…. As a woman, I understand that we all want men to have a good opinion about us. We may not be asking for cat calls, but we don’t want to be the woman that they make fun of either.

Breast Augmentation is really a personal choice that each woman has to make, but when you go in for your consultation with your doctor, be sure to be honest with both your doctor and yourself. Once you have all the reasons for your surgery out on the table, you can make the proper choice that is right for you regarding size, and style of implant.

Great surgeons like Dr. Collins, in Redlands California will meet with you and go over the surgery letting you know what you can expect.

Helping the emotional scars by erasing the physical scars…

As a foster parent, and having some experience with the foster care system. I have seen scars on children that are traumatically damaging inside as well as the outside. I feel that the healing can start when a child does not have to look at the reflection of the nightmare they had to endure for much of their life time; they can then focus on therapy to help mend the pain.
Plastic surgeons are now able to help with scar removal due to burns, cuts, etc… They can also help with cosmetic dentistry to cover the years of dental neglect with veneers, and bleaching to help make that smile of theirs shine.

What’s with ear gauging???

2009-04-23T09:36:00.000-07:00

The whole rebel tattoo, grunge look might be going too extreme… I have had quite a few requests from young adults, who when they were younger it was sic to gauge their ears. Now that they are adults, and want to enter the professional business world, most bosses are not as accepting of that look. Luckily, there are surgeons out there who can put the earlobe back together with minor scaring. It may not have the natural earlobe look, but it beats the tribal earlobe that gapes open.

Men have self esteem issues too…

2009-04-23T08:45:00.000-07:00

As a woman, we feel the pressure to look our best, to please our lover, or even the judgmental public. But for men, as they get older, long for their youth. They now have the wisdom; however, they no longer have the body they had in high school or in their 20’s. For the most part, our men of the 80’s are striving to become the buff sex symbol they were when they had the hair and earrings.

Plastic surgery can be an option for men who are looking for the perfection they can’t seem to achieve with diet and exercise. Liposculpture or liposuction can help form that six pack that is under that fine layer of fat. Some men even opt for pectoral implants, or even leg implants in their calves. We may think our men look good, but just like most women; it’s the self esteem issue that rules our actions.

When Diets Just Don’t Work.

2009-04-22T14:48:00.000-07:00

Let’s face it… You can’t diet and exercise the stubborn patches of fat away. Sometimes you just need to have some help. This is where liposuction comes in. liposuction and liposculpture is a technique designed to get the stubborn spots on the stomach, sides, back and chin. If you are having trouble getting the desired results from diet and exercise, check with your plastic surgeons and see what they can do for you.

Hot topics on Plastic Surgery…

2009-04-22T13:11:00.000-07:00

The world of Plastic Surgery is growing fast… It is not just for movie stars anymore… Every day people are going for Botox shots, or lip injections on their lunch hour. With vast improvements in the cosmetic surgery world, it is now less expensive and more accessible than ever.
Some doctors offer a financing option for those who don’t really have the cash to spend up front. Sometimes the procedure you are wanting is quite costly, such as gastric banding, so the financing option is very helpful.
Do a little research on what you are wanting to have done, and make sure your surgeon has the proper certifications. Then enjoy…

Curves are in…

2009-04-22T09:57:00.000-07:00

The twiggy shapeless body is no longer a popular look for women. Hollywood trends are changing once again… Plastic surgery is defiantly in. The bigger the bust and the curvier the butt the better. Bikini clad babes showing off their assets have skilled surgeons to thank for their look. A good Plastic Surgeon is like an artist. They are proud of their work. The better and happier the patient feels and looks, the more business that patient will send back to their surgeon.
Your plastic surgeon can offer many different procedures such as breasts, butt, liposuction and tummy tuck. That is just for the body. There are a lot of different procedures to offer for the face too. Get that summer body ready for the beach ladies…

Botox is a popular choice…

2009-04-21T09:59:00.000-07:00

Botox is vastly becoming a popular product in the cosmetic surgery field, but did you know that Botox has its place in the medical field as well? Cosmetic surgeons use Botox for fine lines and wrinkles; it is very popular in the middle age group of men and women.
Botox is also used for things like excessive sweating, muscle spasms, and is also used for the treatment of migraine headaches. It is best to do your research on who does your Botox injections; you want to have a reputable doctor who has had more than a weekend course to get their certification. Do your homework, look for proper certifications, and ask for referrals. If you take the time to ask questions, your experience will be a pleasant one.

Looking tired no more…

2009-04-21T08:44:00.000-07:00

Age and gravity tend to take its toll over time. Stress and hard living can make you look old, frumpy and just tired. There is a technique out there that you can have done, that will help you look refreshed and younger. It is called a brow lift. It is a little different than a face lift. It is not as invasive; however it is pretty effective for younger looking results.
When looking to have a brow lift done, you want to go with someone who has experience, and is willing to take the time to explain the procedure you are about to go through. You don’t want a doctor who has given someone the "surprised" look. You want their look to be natural looking.
Always ask for testimonials, as well as before and after pictures. And with any surgery, do your homework and check for plastic surgery accreditations.

Plastic Surgery in Hawaii…

2009-04-20T14:38:00.000-07:00

For the most part, if you have plastic surgery done, you don’t really want to look plastic. You want your surgery to look as natural as possible. I have found a Doctor in Hawaii that will give you the results you desire with the testimonials to confirm their results.
With the certifications required, this surgical facility has some of the most natural results out there. If you want help getting that awesome bikini body, or beautiful flawless face you need to check out this site.

Where are you going for plastic surgery…

2009-04-20T13:01:00.000-07:00

When you are planning a plastic surgery procedure, it is reasonable that you want to shop around for the better price. When you are shopping around, you might want to take in account that if you are traveling quite a distance for your surgery, you will have to plan for expenses such as hotel rooms, and should something go wrong, your down time could cost you a fortune.
Another fact to consider is that should you travel out of the country for your surgery, you need to remember that their standards are not the same as ours. Accreditations and certifications are not the same. I am not saying that is good or bad, it is just something you may want to consider.

Just a few things on Nose Surgery…

2009-04-20T11:41:00.000-07:00

Not all nose surgery is created equal… People have their nose worked on for different reasons… The myth is that nose surgery is a very painful process. Truth is, it may give you some discomfort, but you look worse than you feel. Nose surgery is done for many different reasons. Some people have genetics that give them a nose they feel does not suit their profile, but others may need their nose done due to medical difficulties that they have. ..
Though you have chosen to have nose surgery done, it is important to do your homework, and choose a doctor that has a vast amount of experience in the rhinoplasty area. True many doctors offer facial services; but the nose is the focal point on your face. I wouldn’t want that area to be screwed up.
You can take a picture in of what you would like your nose to look like; however, the surgeon can only make you look similar, not exact. Unrealistic expectations are an issue. You are in for a serious disappointment if you want the impossible.

Plastic Surgery is a part of life for some.

2009-04-16T13:11:00.001-07:00

For the most part, women are the harshest critics of their own bodies. We are very quick to judge another woman walking past us, or seeing celebrities on TV, and envy them for what they look like. Truth be told, those very women, have some of the very same issues that they hate about their body; they just had the nerve to get it surgically altered. But can you have too much plastic surgery??? In my opinion it really depends on the circumstances.
For the women out there who have deformed breasts, I can understand wanting to have them fixed, but for the strippers who go to ungodly sizes for that extra buck, or the men and women out there in Hollywood who have a perm- a-smile, or the surprised look all the time in my opinion have gone too far.
Beautiful people, who want to stop the signs of aging, end up ruining their looks, and unfortunately, once the surgery is done, it is sometimes impossible to reverse.

What are the truths about liposuction???

2009-04-16T10:47:00.001-07:00

With so many myths out there about liposuction, it is time somebody set the facts straight… Liposuction is used in the cosmetic surgery field to remove fatty deposits that are not able to be handled by diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss tool; however it has been used in patients who are obese and are planning on undergoing the weight loss surgery. Not all doctors are trained in removing such levels of fat, so you want to choose your doctor wisely.
It is true that you can have liposuction done on the face and stomach, but did you know you can use it as another way to have a breast reduction. For the woman who is looking to reduce her size about one or two cup sizes, the liposuction option may be perfect.
Because most liposuction does not require general anesthesia, you don’t have to be a surgeon to do it. You want to be careful when choosing a doctor. As I usually say in most of my blogs, do your homework. Ask questions, and for heaven sake check their credentials!

Lovin the neck lift…

2009-04-16T08:20:00.001-07:00

As you age or have lost a bit of weight, you may find that pesky neck skin tends to hang and gives you the double chin look. If you were to hold the skin taut and look in the mirror you would see a drastic difference. In fact tightening the neck skin up can drastically take the years off. The neck can even make you look thinner.
Most surgeons who specialize in the facial surgery, will have before and after pictures that can show you the most dramatic of changes. I have a site that will show you some drastic results. The patients that have had this procedure done look wonderful.

The Nose Job in minutes…

2009-04-15T14:14:00.000-07:00

Whether it’s a bump in the nose, or a drooping tip at the end of your nose, or many other problems you have on your nose, thanks to injectible fillers you can have the quick fix. It may not be permanent, usually lasting 18 months or so, however it is a very attractive option for those who don’t want to go "under the knife" per say.
Many doctors offer the injectible option, and you can have it done in the office rather than in the hospital. Have it done on your lunch hour. There really is no down time. Best of all the results are seen immediately.

Air Lines charging more for fat people…

2009-04-15T11:31:00.000-07:00

There is recent news hitting the air waves that airlines are now charging more for the over-weight customer to fly to their destination. Not only does the "fat" customer pay for their seat, but they want you to pay for the seat next to them as well.
Where will the issues stop? Society is glorifying the size 0 movie star. God forbid they go to a size 5. What about those out there who are the heavier population?
Diets don’t always work. Fast food is so tempting. Comfort food if you will. Well you can have help without major and life threatening surgery.
Though there is some surgery involved, it is not as invasive as the gastric bypass. Plastic surgeons offer the gastric Lap Band, or the Realize band. It is a band that is placed around the stomach area, and monitored by your doctor.
Talk with your doctor today, and see if gastric banding is right for you. It could change your life, and lessen the ignorance that you deal with on a daily basis.

Feeling Stressed??? It Shows…

2009-04-13T12:23:00.000-07:00

Did you know that the life you lead, and the lifestyle you have is without a doubt written on your face? It’s true; most people don’t realize that when you have had a lot of stress or poor habits in your life, it will show on your face. Factors like too much sun, smoking, hi-stress, anger, significant weight loss or weight gain shows up on the face with alarming results. You can reverse some of the signs of aging, or damages by having some simple procedures done, such as Botox injections, or a simple chemical peel.
With a few inexpensive procedures done, it can make you feel like a million bucks!

Is Plastic Surgery a Realistic Goal for You?

2009-04-13T10:45:00.000-07:00

Plastic surgery and plastic surgeons are wonderful, and the service they provide can be life altering. It is important that you are getting plastic surgery for the right reasons. Desperation can lead to drastic actions.
When a child has been teased and taunted his/her entire life, whether it is a large nose or protruding ears, chances are when he/she becomes an adult, they will turn to surgery to fix the issue.
What about the flat chested woman? Does she feel like less of a woman being an A cup, than the woman who has breasts so large they cause back and shoulder pain. Reality being, there are no perfect people.
You can have all the plastic surgery in the world; however, if you are not satisfied in your mind, you will never be happy with your body. A good plastic surgeon will do a pre screening to find out if you will be truly satisfied with the surgery you are seeking. Do your research, and find out your options, as well as the results you can plan to achieve.
With a little preparation on your part, you will be on your way to a better you.

Life after Cancer…

2009-04-10T13:01:00.001-07:00

Once you have faced death in the eye and won, you may be left with the battle wound of losing one or both breasts. You need to hold your head up, and walk proud. You my friend are a true hero. A way to help regain your self esteem is to have your breasts reconstructed. With improvements in breast implants, there are many options for you to choose from. Most implants are mammogram safe, but you can have both a mammogram and MRI. Talk with your surgeon, and you and your surgeons can choose the right implant for you.

Plastic Surgery in a small town…

2009-04-10T11:23:00.001-07:00

Ok, I come from a really small town. I mean everybody knows everything about everybody’s business. The last thing you want is for people to know that you had plastic surgery done. You can be very discreet about it, and possibly get away with nobody catching on. I suggest that if you are wanting to have a breast augmentation done, start by slowly adding padding to your bra. If you increase your size gradually, people for the most part won’t even notice. Have the surgery done out of town. Before you have your surgery done, get your hair done, or change something about your clothing that will deter people away from the hot spot… When you return from “vacation” you will look different, but people won’t be so quick to point at your new found cleavage, face lift, etc…

Victims of War

2009-04-10T10:01:00.000-07:00

Many countries are no stranger to war and conflict. Our military are brave men and women, who have dedicated their lives to making our country safe. Unfortunately being in a battle zone, the human body can only endure so much. Injuries occur that can potentially be life threatening, but life altering as well. Burns, amputation, and facial injuries happen often. It is up to the fine medical doctors to put them back together again. When it comes to the facial injuries, the sooner the doctor can tend to the victim, the better the outcome will be for preventing the muscles from contracting. Reoperation may be required at a later date, but saving the limb is most important.

Anesthesia and Plastic Surgery...

2009-04-09T13:16:00.000-07:00

With no doubt, anesthesia can be a serious matter. When deciding to have plastic surgery, the anesthesia risk cannot be underestimated. There are however ways to dramatically reduce the risk of "going under" with a little pre planning before your surgery. I have some tips on what a patient can do to help prevent their risk of complications.

First off, do your homework. Know who is doing your surgery, and who is monitoring your anesthesia. Know their credentials.
Second, be straight with your doctor. Let them know your medical history. Any prior surgeries, allergies, and all the medications you take, "even OTC and vitamins". Lastly, you don't always have to "go under". Some procedures can be done with local anesthesia or sedation.

With a little time and preparation, you can reduce your risks drastically. After all it is your lives were talking about...

Why eyelid surgery may be necessary..

2009-04-09T12:15:00.001-07:00

For most people you wouldn't give your eyelids a second thought... I mean, if your a woman, you might wonder what shade of shadow would best complement your wardrobe that day. But for some, it is a daily issue. As we get older, the elasticity in our skin tends to weaken, therefore causing the skin to sag into your line of vision. This can be dangerous if you are operating a vehicle, or it could cause you to trip down stairs. This issue can be taken care of with the skills of the right doctor. You will get your sight back, and be rid of the tired, worn out look that heavy eyelids can give you.

A younger looking hand.

2009-04-08T13:54:00.000-07:00

As we get older, looking in the mirror everyday, we tend to notice the little fine lines, and wrinkles showing up around the eyes, or mouth. Believe it or not, your hands age faster, and tend to look older than the rest of your body. Maybe it is because we worry about sun screen for the face, moisturizer for the face. But your hands tend to get washed more, and dry out due to harsh soap and sun exposure. There is nothing quite as embarrassing as having to shake someones hand, and they feel scratchy and look scaly. You can now make your hands look younger and more smoother by some simple procedures. Chemical peeling, takes off a layer of dead skin revealing a younger more healthier appearance. Injectibles can make your hands appear fuller and more supple. Check out some of the links I have marked. They have some really good information about cosmetic procedures.

With summer coming, you might want bigger breasts or that J Lo booty... Seriously, you might want to look at going to a qualified plastic surgeon. I have found some sites that will help you find just the right doctor. Check out any of the links I have provided, and it will show you news and information about the latest and greatest plastic surgery. There is also information on how to finance your new look via surgery. Well, gotta run for now, but cheers to your summer body.

With the popularity of the sport, more and more fighters are seeking cosmetic surgeons for procedures such as scar tissue removal around the brow area to prevent cuts and bleeding. Nose reconstruction due to being broken many times, and the oh so lovely califlower ear being drained...
