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

2010-01-29T08:32:00.000-08:00

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.

Facial Surgery by one of Beverly Hills Best

A native of Pennsylvania, Dr. Palmer has resided in Southern California since 1973. He graduated with honors from San Diego State University and received his M.D. degree from the University of California Irvine School of Medicine. Major emphasis was placed on Facial Plastic Surgery during his five year residency in Head and Neck Surgery at USC-LA County Medical Center (the largest medical teaching institution in the world). Following board certification, Dr. Palmer completed a one year fellowship with the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and is board certified with the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr.Palmer also completed a one year fellowship with the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and is board eligible with the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery.

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

2010-01-27T08:28:00.000-08:00

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.

A neck lift is a very individualized procedure in which your goals should be realistically determined and discussed with your physician in Santa Monica. Together you will determine what specific procedures will be performed. A neck lift is often performed in conjunction with other procedures such as a face lift and chin augmentation to enhance the balance of the patient's facial features. 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. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may also be performed at the same time as a forehead lift, especially if a patient has significant skin overhang in the upper eyelids. Sometimes, patients who believe they need upper-eyelid surgery find that a forehead lift better meets their surgical goals.

No matter what procedure you decide on, you can expect fantastic results by choosing Dr. Nabavian as your Plastic Surgeon. Contact his office today, to be on your way to a younger more youthful look.

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 best candidates for abdominoplasty are men or women who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that won't respond to diet or exercise. 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. This location is also a convenient venue for out of town patients who may be traveling nationally or internationally.

Face Lift in North Carolina

2010-01-18T12:54:00.000-08:00

Sun exposure, the effects of gravity, and the stresses of daily life can age the face, jaw line, and neck of women and men. A facelift, however, can help alleviate the signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening muscles, and redraping skin on the face, neck, and jowls. This cosmetic procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift or eyelid surgery to achieve maximum results.

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.

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.

Laser Hair Removal, How does it work?

2009-10-27T13:57:00.000-07:00

Without disrupting the skin's surface to remove hair on any part of the body, the laser targets the hair follicle for smooth softer looking skin. Absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, the energy is directed from the lasers hand piece. Designed to destroy the hair follicle so it can't grow back, heated energy is made. Safe for all types of skin and targets all hair colors that contain melenin, this is our top of the line approach to hair removal. Providing the most desired effect, the result is permanent hair reduction.

Plastic Surgery - Breast Lift Procedure Los Angeles

2009-10-05T13:47:00.000-07:00

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

As with any surgery, cosmetic or otherwise, realistic expectations and emotional stability are important. Any breast size 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. Still, 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, experienced surgeon.

The best breast implant for you…

2009-09-24T11:13:00.001-07:00

Breast implants come in a variety of shapes, surface textures, and sizes. Depending on the desired shape you wish to achieve, you and your plastic surgeon may choose a round or contoured breast implant shape. Generally, the larger you want your cup size, the larger the breast implant the plastic surgeon will consider (measured in cubic centimeters, or cc's). All currently available Allergan Medical breast implants have a self sealing (diaphragm) valve that is used for filling the device. Depending on the style, the filling valve may be located on the front (anterior) or the back (posterior) of the breast implant

Breast Asymmetry

2009-09-24T10:17:00.001-07:00

The decision to add breast volume or reduce breast volume to improve breast asymmetry depends on the goals of the individual. In either case, the outcome of balancing breast size between the breasts, breast surgery is enhancing and most patients are pleased with the results. The size and projection of the nipple may also add to an asymmetric appearance of the breasts. In addition, some women with breast asymmetry have breast droopiness which can further implicate the appearance of asymmetric breasts.

Definition of a Breast Augmentation…

Breast augmentation is one of the oldest and safest cosmetic surgical procedures performed around the world today. With a simple implant behind the breast, you can enjoy a fuller bust line, firmer breasts and the kind of symmetry you have always desired. No wonder this procedure remains one of the most popular in a field crowded with effective choices. By inserting an implant behind each breast, surgeons are able to increase a bust line by one or more bra cup sizes. If you're considering breast augmentation, please read on to gain a basic understanding of the procedure, when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect.

Why Women get Breast Implants…

2009-09-21T09:47:00.001-07:00

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 confidence that accompanies such enhancement is often well worth the operation.

Men and pectoral implants…

2009-09-18T08:21:00.001-07:00

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.

Louisville Kentucky Breast Reduction Surgery

Perhaps more than any other group of patients, women who have had breast reduction encourage others to consider this type of surgery.

Breast Augmentation New Clothes, New Confidence, New Men

2009-03-04T10:27:00.000-08:00

When it comes to breast implants, it's important to know your options. That's because every woman's body is different. There are over 140 breast implant combinations from type of filler and volume to base width and profile—to help you find the fit you want.

Nothing is more important than your long-term health and safety. That's why breast implants undergo a unique battery of tests to ensure their innovative design meets standards and high requirements for quality.

Breast implants filled with a cohesive gel are less likely to leak or ripple, providing a natural feel and shape. Regularly tests are conducted to measure the cohesivity of our implants. The silicone gel used to fill breast implants consistently exceeds guidelines for cohesivity.

Reduce Teasing By Getting An Otoplasty Procedure

2009-03-04T10:18:00.000-08:00

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears.

Gravity gets us all eventually, doesn't it? If you're a woman whose breasts have gradually sunk lower and lower over the years, don't feel that you shouldn't have gone braless in your younger days or that you shouldn't have jogged so much.

Most people who achieve significant weight loss discover an unfortunate side effect in their now droopy breasts. And many women who have had children notice the deflating effect pregnancy and breastfeeding have on their curves.

The fact is, a shapely, perky bustline is critical to a youthful, attractive figure, and almost all of us are going to lose that distinctive profile over time. If your shape doesn't fit the picture you have in mind, a may be in order. Plastic surgeons performed many breast lifts with women to help them look better in their clothes and feel good about their bodies again.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Your smile is a sign of your happiness and confidence to people around you. If your smile is not what you wish it could be, your dentist wants to help you change your life through cosmetic dentistry. A more youthful, brighter-looking smile may only be a visit away.

Porcelain Veneers
Most smile makeovers you see on television are created using porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin strips of porcelain custom designed to fit on the front of your tooth. Veneers are made to resemble real teeth in size, shape and color and are bonded to misaligned, damaged or discolored teeth to improve their appearance. They can make a dramatic change in the appearance of your smile.

Tooth Whitening
Zoom! whitening is a revolutionary new procedure that will give you brighter, whiter teeth in a single office visit. Zoom! ™ whitening involves the application of a gel that, when exposed to a specialized light source, breaks down the stains on your teeth, leaving you with a beautiful smile. Most tooth whitening treatments can be maintained with monthly touch ups.

Porcelain Bridges
When teeth are missing, your smile undergoes significant changes. Missing teeth cause you to chew differently, may cause mouth and joint pain, and as your remaining teeth work to compensate for the loss, gaps and spaces form that only make the situation worse. A porcelain bridge, custom designed by your dentist, keeps your smile aligned and your bite functional. Bridges are anchored to existing teeth or crowns on either side of the missing tooth. They are cemented in place and are a long-term restorative solution to your damaged smile.

Porcelain Crowns
You can erase years of wear and tear with porcelain crowns. Sometimes called “caps,” porcelain crowns are customized for you, covering broken, cracked or discolored teeth. Crowns are a durable, strong, long lasting method of enhancing both the look and functionality of your smile. After some preparation of the tooth or teeth that will receive the crown, your Michigan Dentist, will position a custom milled, lifelike porcelain crown over your damaged tooth, restoring and rejuvenating your oral health.
