January 29th, 2010abdominoplasty, body contouring, cosmetic surgeon, plastic surgery, tummy tuckTummy Tuck in Carson City – If you’ve been tossing around the
notion of seeking out a plastic surgeon, you’ve probably already got a “problem area” or two in mind that you want addressed. Perhaps you have finally lost those irritating “extra” pounds and just can’t bring yourself to celebrate because, instead of shrinking with the rest of you, the skin around your middle felt it would be more fun to sag down like a deflated balloon.As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and so is less willing to shrink down with the rest of the body once it’s been stretched. A tummy tuck procedure is one option for dealing with this. By excising loose, over-hanging skin and tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall, a plastic surgeon can put the finishing touches on your hard work. A lot depends on your current physiology and future plans. Details like this are what makes the consultation with your surgeon so critical.
Dr. Kent Gabriel, a board certified plastic surgeon who also offers cosmetic surgery in Reno, describes his consultations as “lengthy and informative.” By taking “as much time as a patient needs to discuss their situation,” Dr. Gabriel hopes that whether or not a patient goes forward with their surgery with him, they will leave the consult with greater understanding.

January 28th, 2010botox, Injectables, skin rejuvenation, skin treatment, wrinklesWhose idea was it to squirt botulism into someone’s face to cure wrinkles?
Does it really sound that much stranger than using bread mold to fight infection? Naturally it’s not as simple as directly injecting canned yams gone bad.Plastic surgeon Amir Karam of Carmel Valley Facial Plastic Surgery explains, “Botox® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium Botulinum bacteria that decreases the activity of wrinkle-forming muscles.” The use of this protein started out as a treatment for face and neck muscle spasms. Like so many other discoveries, the protein’s usefulness in treating wrinkles was noticed as a side effect.
The botulinum protein works by inhibiting the receipt of neurotransmitters by nerve terminals for the wrinkling muscles. A Botox® injection technique using a few mere drops with a small needle is enough to be effective for several months.

January 26th, 2010board certified plastic surgeon, browlift, facelift, Facial Rejuvenation, mountain viewA brow lift, also called a forehead lift or eyebrow lift, corrects the skin wrinkling and loss of tone that causes sagging of eyebrows and hooding of upper eyelids. A brow lift softens the deep creases across the forehead, reduces horizontal frown lines at the top of your nose and vertical lines between your brows. The result is a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. It is the only procedure that can increase the distance from the lateral brow to the upper eyelashes.
A brow lift is often performed along with a face lift or other facial rejuvenation procedures. Some people have brow lifts to correct aging problems, while others have inherited traits that cause them to seek treatment in their 20s or 30s. You may be a good candidate for a brow lift if you have any of the following types of conditions:
- If you have drooping lateral brows that are close to or below your orbital bony rim
- If you feel you always look angry or scowling
- If you like your appearance and your brows and eyelids when you pull up your forehead with your fingers at your hairline above your lateral brows
- If you desire the ideal benefits of facial rejuvenation and you are already considering a face and neck lift
For more information about the Brow Lift procedure, contact Dr. Pearl, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Mountain View, California.

January 23rd, 2010california, los angeles, Plastic surgeon, plastic surgery, scar repair, Scar Revision, skin careUnfortunately for some, the body’s healing may result in the formation of scars that are unsightly or that cause unwanted symptoms such as pain or tightness. The plastic surgery or scar revision involves the removal of the offending scar and its replacement with an
improved surrounding soft skin or tissue. This is capable of allowing for the scar to become minimized and camouflaged in a much more functional and aesthetic way. -
January 23rd, 2010california, los angeles, Plastic surgeon, plastic surgery, scar repair, Scar Revision, skin careThe natural result of the body’s attempt to heal an open wound or tear in the surface of the skin or body tissues is a scar. Every person forms scars, and scars are always resulting from surgical incisions or trauma which goes all the way to the deeper layers of skin and sometimes the structures. A scar will in fact result from any type of cosmetic surgery procedure. There is no such thing as a cosmetic surgery procedure that does not leave a scar, regardless of what is advertised or hyped.

January 21st, 2010Blepharoplasty, Breast Augmentation, breast implants, cosmetic surgery, eyelid lift, Plastic surgeonLos Angeles Breast Augmentation – Given all the factors queued up to strike down your youthful appearance,
it’s no wonder a woman’s breasts can lose their form. Gravity, age, weather, children, trauma, illness, and more all take their toll. Breast surgery may not be right for everyone, and nothing can make you look 20 forever, but a little mastopexy can turn the clock back a bit. Looking younger and perkier is a benefit in itself, but bonus advantages can piggyback themselves to it. Self confidence can be closely tied to looks, and both confidence and looks have an effect on your dealings with those around you. Los Angeles plastic surgeon, Dr. Marc Mani, raises and reshapes, restoring youthful position to sagging breasts, adding volume with implants where added volume is called for.plasticsurgery-beverlyhills.com

January 20th, 2010cosmetic surgery, nose job, rhinoplastyWith Rhinoplasty, you can greatly enhance the face by improving the shape of the nose. While subtle changes are desired by some patients, a complete changes are desired by other patients. Rhinoplasty has the potential to give a self esteem boost to anyone who is self-conscious about their nose.
By making your nose more balanced with the rest of your face and enhancing your profile, this procedure can greatly enhance anyone’s facial appearance. The Rhinoplasty procedure is customized to specifically enhance each person’s face whether their nose has been damaged from an injury or a birth defect has caused them to have a less than desirable nose shape or these problems have caused your nasal airways to not allow regular airflow.
More information can be found on this website I found that I believe should be very useful in teaching more about this procedure and help in making the decision to get Rhinoplasty.

January 19th, 2010body contouring, Breast Augmentation, breast implants, cosmetic surgeon, plastic surgeryBreast Implants in Canton MI – Whenever I recall the silicone gel-filled breast implant
issues of the early nineties, it calls to mind a cartoon that showed a woman with a deflated chest and bell-shaped legs glaring at a scientist, implying that her implants had not only leaked but that the gel had found its way down through her body to slosh around her ankles. In truth, silicone gel is more likely to remain in the shell or the implant pocket. In fact it may be difficult even to detect a leak in a silicone implant without an ultrasound or MRI scan.There’s been a lot learned over the almost twenty years since the FDA withdrew its approval of silicone breast implants (FDA approval was restored in 2006; silicone breast implants are currently available for augmentation in women who are at least 22 years old). Much of the most valuable information about breast implants is only applicable on a personal basis, based on the physiology of the individual patient. This makes your doctor consultation vitally important. Dr. Bazzi is a board certified Michigan plastic surgeon who can provide you the personalized information you need to make an educated choice.

January 18th, 2010body contouring, Breast Surgery, gynecomastia, los angeles, male breast reduction, male plastic surgeryLos Angeles breast reduction isn’t always performed on women. More men will develop gynecomastia than won’t, for a number of reasons.
Basically, gynecomastia is simply an abnormal enlargement of one or both of the breast areas on a male’s chest. Of course, though “man boobs” aren’t necessarily threatening to physical health, they can be a source of self-consciousness that men thus afflicted may be hesitant to discuss even with a doctor. Los Angeles plastic surgeon Steven Teitelbaum saw the need to provide men with a better way to privately learn more about their options for dealing with gynecomastia, and one part of his efforts to fill that need took the form of a web site devoted expressly to gynecomastia treatment.Visit beverlyhillsgynecomastia.com to learn more.
