Dads Want to Look Good Too!

Father’s Day is just another week away and while traditionally, dads are given gifts like ties, golf clubs and grilling tools, a new trend is on the horizon.  In recent years, dads have been trading in those ties for plastic surgery.  

Since 2012, the ASPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) has reported that “the number of cosmetic procedures for men increased over 106% from 1997″ and the most popular procedures for men were ” liposuction, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast reduction to treat enlarged male breast, and ear shaping.”  While plastic surgery is classically very female driven, it is obvious that men are becoming more and more comfortable with the idea of cosmetic surgery and treatments to reverse the signs of aging and get their ideal bodies. 

There are many gift options for any dad at Lift MD Aesthetics, from injectables and facials that are tailored specifically for men to skincare products that will help soothe the effects of shaving.  If you can’t decide what to get your dad, you can always pick up a gift card any amount, as well. Your dad will be looking as good as he feels this Father’s Day!

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

Posted on September 13, 2013 | Leave a comment

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?

Posted on June 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

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.

If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about skin reduction surgeries, please contact the professionals at Lift MD Aesthetics® today!

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

Posted on June 8, 2013 | Leave a comment

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®

Natural Results with Dr. Kassabian’s Injectables Technique

Posted on June 8, 2013 | Leave a comment

Screen Shot 2013-06-07 at 5.13.50 PM

There are many injectables and fillers available that aim to fill lines and prevent wrinkles, caused by aging or overly-expressive facial muscles. These injectables include Botox, Dysport, Juvederm, Perlane, Restylane, Sculptra, Radiesse and newcomers like Xeomin. Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are all botulinum toxins and are injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate-to-severe lines between the brows, on the forehead, crow’s feet, nasal wrinkles, perioral lines, and lifting of the nose tip. Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane are smooth gels containing hyaluronic acid that come in several viscosities for various wrinkle depths. Sculptra is a synthetic poly-L-lactic acid which, upon injection, stimulates collagen production and Radiesse is a collagen based product, which uses calcium hydroxyapitate microspheres suspended in a gel that act as a filler while spheres stimulate natural collagen production. While it is important to know which filler is right for you, technique is just as vital for a successful treatment.  Dr. Kassabian of Lift MD Aesthetics® is renowned for his injecting techniques and prowess and is sought by some of Hollywood’s brightest stars.

We all feel like we could use a little help from time to time, especially as the years pass by more and more quickly. However, it is crucial to be informed when making a decision about the first thing people notice about you, your face. Both men and women can experience the benefits of non-invasive fillers and injectables, and Dr. Kassabian’s masterful techniques will help you achieve a more youthful look that is right for you. Over 10 years of experience combined with a board-certification in plastic surgery sets Dr. Kassabian apart from the many nurses and other medical professionals who attempt to achieve the same results with their patients.

Dr. Kassabian has spent years perfecting his techniques for injecting and can ensure a profound, yet subtle result with minimal invasion and nearly no downtime. From Liquid Facelifts to Eye Contour Rejuvenation, Dr. Kassabian’s techniques are a simple solution to looking more youthful without going under the knife. At a fraction of the cost of a surgical procedure, now may be the right time to explore your options in facial rejuvenation and feel rested in the hands of Dr. Kassabian.

Read for yourself what some of Dr. Kassabian’s patients are saying…

“The best place to get your Botox………the price per area is so reasonable and Dr. K invites you back a week later so that he can make sure that everything is perfect and if you feel like you need a little more he doesn’t charge you an additional fee. His technique is so natural, no one will know you have had anything done; you just look fresh and rested : )”

– Simone Z

I was amazed at the way my face looked immediately after my procedure last week. It took such a short time to take away at least 10 years of the aging process from my face. The lines around my nose and mouth have disappeared and the corners of my mouth are no longer turned down.  Nothing was ever swollen and I didn’t have to hide myself for a single day.

Ask Dr. K: What Can I Do For a Quick and Effective Makeover?

Posted on May 30, 2013 | Leave a comment

Screen Shot 2013-05-15 at 4.19.58 PM

By using the right combination of fillers in just the right places, we are now able to achieve a facial make over in a matter of minutes. Our appearance is important to everyone yet not all of us have the time for constant upkeep. By skillfully using these injectable fillers, I can take years of your visible age in one short visit. Often referred to as a “liquid lift”, there is an array of dermal fillers available today that address specific needs and are used in different areas for optimum results. For Instance, hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm, are used to fill deep wrinkles, define cheeks and fill shadows under the eyes while collagen based gels like Sculptra addresses fat loss loss in the face and improves a gaunt appearance. Finally, Botox is ideal for preventing further wrinkles from forming and also can provide a slight lift depending on what you and your doctor have decided is the best treatment plan for you. Please visit my “Guide to Injectables” for an overview of the various injectables. and which might be best for you. This facial rejuvenation procedure is completely customizable and can be tailored to your liking. Whether your concern is static wrinkles you would like to smoothen out, or you feel like your eyes are a bit tired looking, nearly all facial concerns can be addressed and a plan can be made with your doctor to correct those. For more information or for a private consultation, please contact Lift MD Aesthetics to contact Dr. Kassabian.
