Aesthetic TV Hollywood Mixer

On Tuesday night I had the honor of attending the Aesthetic TV Hollywood Mixer at the Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.  The exclusive networking event brought together top aesthetic physicians and celebrated the wrap party for the Aesthetic TV segments shot in Las Vegas at THE Aesthetic Show which took place earlier this year.  Check out some pictures of me on the red carpet where I discussed my signature Scarless Facelift and Invisible Bra Lift.

A Patient Testimonial

As a plastic surgeon, I always love to hear feedback from patients about how they liked the results of their procedure or how they enjoyed their time at Lift MD Aesthetics.  I wanted to share a testimonial from a patient about her son, who I treated recently.  I am so happy I could help her son and put his mother at ease.

Filming at Lift MD Aesthetics

The Emmy Awards are this coming Sunday and stars often spend weeks and even months getting ready for such important high profile events.  Celebrity stylist, Lucy Samuelian, is a patient who helps get those stars ready and looking good.  With a very busy schedule taking its toll on her skin, Lucy felt that it was time to pamper her skin and give herself a boost before hitting the town for an exclusive red carpet party.  Take a look at some pictures from the filming of this special episode of Dr. Lift  and make sure you watch when it airs this weekend!

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.

The Secret to A Famous Face

Picture 15

More and more we see celebrities and reality stars debuting more proportionate facial features that seem to balance overall features and create a more proportional look. How are they doing this? Although the right makeup and haircut can do wonders, there is a little secret that some of hollywood’s most beautiful hold in their back pocket.

In the recent Bravo reality series, Vanderpump Rules, lead character Stassi Schroeder reveals she received a chin implant as a high school graduation present. Attributing her modeling jobs and recent success to her more defined chin, which helped her face appear more defined and not as round. Other celebrity figures that have reportedly had similar procedures to enhance their looks include Kim Kardashian, Bristol Palin and Ashlee Simpson.

Researchers and experts alike say that patients are oftentimes more satisfied with their results if they also receive a chin implant when they undergo rhinoplasty. The reason why? Many people don’t understand the affect changing one element of their face will have on the overall balance of their entire look. An expert surgeon will know how to make these two distinct facial features proportionate creating a more natural looking facial structure. In many cases, however, a chin implant can be performed on it’s own to complement the patients existing features.

Everyone’s individual preferences are different and not every patient may need both procedures. Remember to always discuss all possible options with your expert surgeon prior to going into surgery. If you or someone you know are interested in discussing these procedures in further detail, contact Lift MD Aesthetics®
today!
