Plastic Surgery Trend: Boot Bulge

Screen Shot 2014-11-18 at 1.23.11 PM

With temperatures dropping, women are putting away their sandals and taking out their boots for the colder months.  However, there is one headache that many fashionistas did not foresee and that is the battle of Boot Bulge.  Narrow and zippered boot trends are making it difficult for some women to fit their calves into the current boot fashion.  More and more plastic surgeons are reporting a surge in calve liposuction, especially during the colder months.  However, anyone who is considering this surgery should be warned that it takes months for inflammation to fully disappear and that there has to be fat in the calf area.  There are many women who are athletes who have bigger calves because of muscle and thus liposuction would not work for them. If you are interested in this procedure or any others, please call Lift MD and schedule an appointment with Dr. Garo Kassabian (310) 285-0400.

A Makeover Just For Moms

Screen Shot 2014-05-10 at 10.20.06 AM

Sometimes no matter how much my female patients watch their diets and exercise they simply feel as though their bodies don’t bounce back to their pre-baby figures.  This can be very frustrating when they put in so much work and effort but don’t see the results that they want. That is exactly why I created the Mommy Makeover which has become one of the most popular procedures for moms who want to look as great as they feel.  With the Mommy Makeover I use liposuction to target exercise and diet resistant areas such as the hips, stomach and thighs and to resculpt their figures.  I also often do a Brazilian Butt Lift which is done by using the patients’ own fat that is harvested from the liposuction and injecting it into the buttocks to restore volume and shape.  Often times women also lose volume in their breasts after child birth and need a breast lift or breast augmentation to restore the volume.  Take a look at some of these before and after pictures of patients who had the Mommy Makeover. They look fantastic! Every mom deserves to look as beautiful as she feels!

Queen Of The Universe Pageant 2014

Ask Dr. K: My breasts have lost their perkiness but I don’t want implants. Are there other options for me?

 

Screen Shot 2013-09-13 at 3.50.08 PM

As women age, they often find that their breasts begin to lose volume and begin to sag.  However, if my patients still have enough breast tissue and volume that they don’t need implants to create a perky silhouette then there is an alternative option.

One on my signature procedures is the Invisible Bra Lift. With the Invisible Bra Lift, I reposition the nipple and tighten the skin as one would with a traditional breast lift but what makes my lift different is that I also lift the existing breast tissue to contour and lift. Using one’s own breast tissue provides for a natural and perky silhouette.

Every patient  is different and I am happy to answer any questions, or if you would like to set up a consultation please call me at Lift MD Aesthetics.

Ask Dr. K: Is there something I can do to boost my energy and my appearance?

Many of patients are very busy people with lifestyles that never give them a day off to really rest and relax.  Health and beauty start with taking care of oneself from the inside out but often times patients tell me that while they know this, they simply don’t have the time.  A patient recently asked me if there was something that she could do that would give her energy and also help her look good.

I told my patient about the Beverly Hills Vitamin Cocktail which I created to give patients nutrients they need to keep them energized and healthy.  While the Vitamin Cocktail delivers vitamins your body needs to remain healthy and energized, it also has nutrients that will give your skin a healthy and radiant glow.  When the Vitamin Cocktail is used with the Beverly Hills Vitamin Booster it delivers similar effects as The Beverly Hills Vitamin Cocktail IV.  These vitamins are beauty and wellness on the go so you always look as good as you feel!

For more information and to purchase the Beverly Hills Vitamin Cocktail, The Beverly Hills Vitamin Booster or to schedule an appointment to receive The Beverly Hills Vitamin Cocktail IV visit us at: LIFT MD AESTHETICS.
