I was honored to be invited back to judge the Queen of the Universe pageant this weekend in Los Angeles, CA. It was a pleasure to be on the panel of judges who selected a beautiful and inspiring young woman who will impact her community and become a great role model.  Make sure to check back for more details on results of the pageant and when it airs.

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.

Ask Dr. K: What Non-Surgical Procedures Are Best for Perfecting My Complexion?

Screen Shot 2013-09-13 at 3.50.08 PM

I often get asked for my opinion on recommendations for skin perfecting procedures.  If a patient does not want or need an invasive procedure, I would begin with a facial like the Lift MD Oxygen facial which is infused with essential oils and purified oxygen.  The essential oils and oxygen nourish, hydrate and rejuvenate the skin leaving a smooth and glowing complexion.   The Beverly Hills Vitamin IV Cocktail is also a great way to give your skin vitamins like B-12, B-5 and Vitamin C.  These vitamins are all essential for your skin’s health and glow and the benefit of the cocktail is that you get the vitamins from the inside out so that you see and feel the benefits instantly. The most popular non-surgical skin perfecting procedure that I am asked about, though, is injectables. Injectables help smooth fine lines and wrinkles and leave your skin looking supple, rejuvenated and youthful.

Ask Dr. K: I’ve lost the weight but I’m left with excess skin. Now what?

Picture 13

Once you’ve lost the weight we know that being left with excess skin that just won’t tighten up regardless of what you do can be incredibly frustrating. We offer several options, from head to toe, that will firm skin and leave you looking svelte and toned in no time.

What are my options?

1) Facial Rejuvenation

Lift MD Aesthetics offers Facial Rejuvenation options for everyone. Whether you require a peel, injectables or a facelift to achieve your desired result, facial rejuvenation can be least invasive and most effective way to look years younger.

2) Breast Augmentation

Ideal for those suffering from sagging skin, or loss of volume, a Breast Augmentation can reduce the excess skin and fill in the loss of volume. Whether a reduction or implants, a Breast Augmentation can help to create the silhouette desired.

3) Arms

For those who are concerned about excess skin on their arms, a brachioplasty or arm lift is your best option. A small incision is made on the under side of your arm. From there the tissue is tightened and reshaped, resulting in a more defined and toned arm.

4) Liposculpture, Tummy Tuck, Extended Tummy Tuck or Body Lift.

For excess loose skin on the lower body, several procedures performed are intended to remove excess body skin and fatty tissue. In the area of the back and belly (the trunk), cases of mild excess maybe treated appropriately by procedures such as a tummy tuck or liposuction. For more extreme cases, there are more surgical options that can be discussed.

5) Thigh Lift

Similar to an arm lift, a thigh lift targets the upper leg area to reduce the amount of excess skin that creates a drooping look.

How long do these procedures generally take?

Each procedure varies in length. From 15 minutes for a “Liquid Facelift” to several hours for more extensive surgeries. Once you discuss your options with your doctor, the procedure length will become clear.

What is the recovery process for these procedures?

Recovery period for surgical procedures average at around 1-2 weeks. Non-invasive procedure like injectables involve nearly no downtime.
