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!

The Secret to A Famous Face

Posted on June 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

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!

Supplements To Help You Prepare and Help You Heal

Posted on June 21, 2013 | Leave a comment

Picture 14

The Pre-Surgery Dietary Supplements were developed by Dr. Kassabian to prepare the patient for a healthier surgery. This special formula contains a vital blend of vitamins, minerals, herbs and enzymes specifically designed to prepare the body for surgery. Pre-Surgery packs have been specially formulated to get the body to peak condition prior to surgery. By reducing inflammation, and boosting antioxidant and collagen production, the body will be better prepared to endure the stresses of surgical procedures. Preparing the body before surgery may lead to enhanced recovery after surgery.

The Post-Surgery Dietary Supplements were developed by Dr. Garo Kassabian to aid in the recovery process after surgery. The body needs a variety of nutrients to function on a daily basis. Many of these nutrients become even more crucial after a surgical procedure. Lift MD Aesthetics® Post-Surgery packs contain a vital blend of vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, herbs and enzymes specifically designed to promote optimal healing after surgery.

Ask Dr. K: What Is the Current Trend In Breast Augmentations?

Posted on June 21, 2013 | Leave a comment

Picture 13
Although fuller breasts are never really out of style, it’s not to say that a more modest and demure look is in. The days of the Pamela Anderson look are gone, and possibly for the better. Not only can too-large breasts cause back pain, but the silhouette created often looks unnatural and unbalanced. The trend today is less about statement making breasts, and more about an overall healthy, natural-looking, sexy hourglass silhouette, with breast size playing a major role.

The Executive Chinplant

Posted on June 21, 2013 | Leave a comment

Picture 12

In an era of fierce competition in the work place, and multi-media correspondence, ala Facetime and Video Conferencing, it’s no wonder male executives are wanting to look their best. An easy way achieve natural-looking and masculine facial enhancement is with a chin implant, or a chinplant.
–
An Executive Chinplant is intended to enhance the overall balance of the face. For instance, a weak chin make one’s nose appear larger and can even make the neck appear to have more fat. Adversely, a chin that is too large will steal focus from other features and will dominate the person’s appearance. Ideally, there should be a balanced relationship between the features and the structure of the face.
–
Although chin augmentation can be a routine procedure it is crucial, as with any surgery, that you do your research. Is your doctor board certified? Has your doctor performed this before and can you see before and after images? You can never be too informed when it comes to your health and safety so be sure to ask the tough questions and really make sure this something you want.
–
I have many male patients who have received a chin augmentation, either on it’s own or complimentary to a rhinoplasty. If you have any questions, would like more information or would like to see more images of my patients with a chin augmentation, please contact me at my office.

Ask Dr. K: 5 Things Patients Should Always Ask Their Doctor

Posted on June 18, 2013 | Leave a comment

Screen Shot 2013-05-15 at 4.19.58 PM

 

1) What is your training and education? 

It is important to know what your doctor’s background and certification is, so you understand their level of experience. Personally, I am a double-board certified plastic surgeon and received my doctorate from USC School of Medicine. Additionally, my training includes a Plastic Surgery Research Fellowship at the USC School of Medicine; a Fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Oregon Health Sciences University; a Fellowship in Cosmetic Surgery at the world-renowned Baker, Stuzin & Baker Institute in Miami, Florida; a subspecialty Fellowship in Face/Breast/Body Sculpturing with Dr. Lloyd Hale; and training in laser and hair transplantation with Dr. Bruce Rusell. As I mentioned before, I am certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and I am also a member of numerous medical societies, including the American College of Surgeons.

2) Is this procedure something you do often?

If your doctor has performed a procedure many times, let’s say 50, in the past year, then chances are that they perform this particular surgery well and you will have strong results. If the procedure is barely performed, then more risk is involved in knowing how the results will turn out. It is important to see a doctor who specializes or has a strong track record with the particular procedure you are interested in getting.

3) What are the risks?

People tend to be more concerned with the benefits and the end result of their procedure, and fail to address the risks involved. You should always know what you’re heading into. Ask your surgeon if they are board certified and what you can expect after surgery, and what the risks are as you make a decision.

4) Can you show me “After” photos?

“After” photos of the procedure results from passed patients are the best way for you to get an idea as to how your outcome might look. Ask your surgeon for as many of these as you can and ask for images outside of the procedure you are getting to see how the surgeons work looks in all areas.

5) What does it mean to be board certified?

Board certification is the process by which a physician in the United States demonstrates through either written, practical, and/or simulator based testing, a mastery of the basic knowledge and skills that define an area of medical specialization. I am double-board certified in both general and plastic surgery.

Ask Dr. K: What Makes Your Breast Lifting Technique So Unique?

Posted on June 18, 2013 | Leave a comment

Screen Shot 2013-05-15 at 4.19.58 PM

My patients often ask me what makes my breast lift techniques so unique from other plastic surgeons. There are several factors that separate my Breast Lift surgery from others.  Not only do I reposition the nipple and tighten the skin, both standard in breast lifting procedures, but my “invisible bra” technique re-structures and re-distributes your own breast tissue to create the perfect contour and shape.

In other words, the traditional procedure lifts only the skin, whereas my technique actually lifts the breast tissue providing support and contour and has a long-lasting effect. It’s like an invisible bra, the shape and volume of the breast is modified to give a perky and youthful silhouette.

These results are achieved even without the use of breast implants (if you have enough breast volume to start with) since the contouring effect gives the necessary upper pole fullness.

Each case 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.

Fractional Laser Treatment at Lift MD

Posted on June 17, 2013 | Leave a comment

Screen Shot 2013-06-17 at 4.42.14 PM

We are pleased to now offer Fractional Skin Resurfacing treatments, a procedure that turns back the aging clock!

Fractional Skin Resurfacing is the treatment of choice for acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation.

This advanced laser combines the effectiveness of CO2 lasers with an innovative fractional technology.  Fractional means that only a fraction of the skin surface is exposed to the laser beam, leaving untreated skin around each micro spot.  This promotes fast healing and a short recovery time.  The laser beam delivers a therapeutic matrix of tiny beams of light energy (each about the size of a hair) to the top and mid layers of the skin.  Treatments can be safely performed on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands.

Benefits & facts include: 

-Pigment correction

-Out-patient procedure

-Topical Anesthesia Only

-Minimal Discomfort

-Fast Treatment

-Minimal Downtime, 6-7 days

-Simple moisturizer for aftercare

-Beautiful, long-lasting results!!!

For more information or to book and appointment call the office today!
