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: What Are The Most Common Procedures for Men?

Screen Shot 2013-05-15 at 4.19.58 PM

A large percentage of my clientele is male. People may assume that women are mostly seeking plastic surgery but in reality, many men share similar concerns. I get men from all walk of life; the high-powered executive to the college student looking for a change. Although their concerns may differ, they all want an improvement on their looks for one reason or another.
Some of the most common men’s surgeries I perform, in order of popularity include liposuctionrhinoplastyblepharoplasty, breast reduction (gynecomastia) and facelifts.
It is even more important to men that their plastic surgery goes virtually unnoticed and their results look as natural as possible. With technological advances, over a decade in training and board certification, I am able to achieve these results in all my male patients. For more information about what cosmetic enhancements are available for male patients, or to schedule a consultation, contact Lift MD Aesthetics® today.

Take control of your body and look the way you did before your bundle of joy arrived. A Mommy Makeover with Vaginal Rejuvenation may be just what you need to regain your physique.
Mommy Makeover by Dr. Garo Kassabian may consist of a Tummy Tuck, a Breast Augmentation with a lift, reduction or implant and possible liposuction in troublesome areas. Your Tummy Tuck will help to reduce excess, sagging skin on the abdomen and tighten your torso for a more youthful and athletic physique.

A breast augmentation will help to create a more proportionate decollete for a more balanced silhouette overall. Additionally, liposuction to areas such as the inner and outer thighs as well as the hips and rear will finish off your mommy makeover for a more taught, and svelte appearance.

Ask Dr. K: What Are Micro-Cannulas and How Do They Work?

Screen Shot 2013-05-15 at 4.19.58 PM

Many patients ask me about my techniques regarding injectables and fillers and how I am able to achieve such natural results with minimal injection points and a smooth and even texture. My technique for injecting is a large part of the success of my treatments but an important factor in these results is the use of a micro-cannula instead of the traditional needle.

A micro-cannula is a very thin, small and flexible hollow tube with a smooth round tip. There is no sharp end as you would see in a traditional needle. The benefit with this design is the minimal entry points that are required to achieve a result as opposed to the many punctures you would need with a traditional needle with less pain and a much less probability of bruising.

Some of the benefits of a Micro-Cannula over a needle include:

  • Reduced Pain
  • Less Bleeding
  • Less Bruising
  • Less Tissue Trauma & Swelling

The micro-cannula injection requires a single entry point for a large area instead of many with a traditional needle. The tip of cannula is smooth and rounded which allows the vessels to be simply pushed aside instead of being cut. This means, instead of pain, the patient will most likely experience little more than pressure. Whether injecting the under eyes or lips, you can be assured that bruising and swelling is minimal and you can continue with your everyday activities and attend events right away.

The process of injecting is simple. An entry point is made with a traditional needle that is, of course, slightly larger than the micro-cannula. A numbing agent, like Lidocaine may be used to ease an discomfort one might feel, but pain is very slight.

For more information about the micro-cannula or my techniques, contact Lift MD Aesthetics®
