Los Angeles Plastic Surgery Procedures

August 28, 2010

Los Angeles Plastic SurgeonSouthern California attracts people with its beaches, shopping, theme parks, and most notoriously—its Los Angeles Plastic Surgery. Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles is recommended because it is safe, affordable, and life-enhancing. Cosmetic surgeons will consult patients and provide options and available methods to achieve the physical outcome patients are looking for.

Tummy Tuck Los Angeles patients undergo this procedure (also called Abdominoplasty) to remove excess fat and skin from the abdominal area of their body. This procedure is recommended for patients who cannot accomplish weight loss goals by diet and exercise alone. Tummy Tucks are recommended because they are safe, affordable, and effective. Tummy Tuck patients find success with the procedure resulting in a defined waistline (by using Liposuction) and tightened abdominal muscles.

Liposuction Los Angeles patients are recommended this procedure because liposuction can be treated on virtually all areas of the body effectively. Liposuction can be done using local or general anesthesia depending on the area being worked on and patients usually go home the same day following the procedure. Recovery from the procedure varies between patients and the area that was worked on. Some patients recover in 3-4 weeks and other patients can take up to several months for a full recover.

Los Angeles Breast Augmentation procedures are one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures. During consultation, your cosmetic surgeon will help you determine the size and type of implants that will be used. Most patients do not experience much discomfort during recovery but pain medication is always provided. Recovery time also varies between patients as full recovery usually takes a few months.

Breast Implants: A Multitude of Choices

Breast Augmentation Beverly HillsThe decision to get breast implants is not an easy one to make. On top of that, when one decides to get breast implants, they must also make several other important decisions regarding the procedure. First, one must ensure that they are getting breast implants that are not too big for their frame. The same size implant will look different on two different women based on their body type and height.

One of the main decisions you will make with your Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon is where the implant will be placed. During a sub-glandular placement, the implant is placed directly under your natural breast tissue. This option has a faster and easier recovery time. Also, this makes the breast look high and perky and allows for natural movement. However, the sub-glandular implants can look less natural, especially on women with little natural breast tissue. On the other hand, sub-pectoral breast implants have a longer recovery time since an incision is made in the pectoral muscle to insert the implant. In addition, mammograms can be more difficult because the implant can block part of the breast. However, many people opt for sub-pectoral breast implants because they create a more natural look. It is up to each woman to discuss these two options with their plastic surgeon.

Another important decision one must make, with a Los Angeles plastic surgery consultation, is the type of incision that will be best for the procedure. When it comes to the incision placement, usually it is best to go with your surgeon’s recommendation. An armpit or axillary incision is the most visible but allows women to breastfeed successfully. A nipple or periareolar incision is most easily concealable but creates the most difficulty with breast feeding. An inframammary incision is below the breast. It is a moderately visible incision. One lesser-known but quite popular incision is through the belly button. It is called TUBA (transumbilical breast augmentation). It is a very small, barely visible incision through the belly button. Both implants can be inserted through the same incision. This is done using an endoscope just under the skin.

When getting a breast augmentation Beverly Hills residents must decide what type of breast implants they will get. Saline breast implants are filled with a salt water solution called saline. There are several benefits to saline implants. It can be safely absorbed by the body if the implant tears. Also, they can be filled to specific amounts prior to the surgery. However, they sometimes have an undesirable rippled look. Silicone implants feel smoother and softer. They are said to have a more natural look. However, they must be checked for leaks and tears every couple of years. Cohesive gel implants are being reviewed by a select number of surgeons. They are made of a stable silicone gel and are also known as “gummy bear implants.” They have a solid consistency and will not leak into the breast tissue if ruptured. We can expect to see more of these in the near future.

When consulting with a plastic surgeon Beverly Hills residents should know information about all of these options so they can make the best decision with the help of their surgeon!

Stay Safe with United States Plastic Surgery

July 21, 2010

Los Angeles Plastic  SurgeonThere are many things one can do overseas that are more cost effective. More and more companies are outsourcing work to other countries these days. However, one thing that should not be done in other countries is plastic surgery! Plastic surgeons in the United States are held to higher training standards than those in other countries. If you are going to a Board Certified Los Angeles plastic surgeon in the United States, you can be assured that you are not gambling with your health. Sometimes these procedures can be significantly more affordable, but it is not worth it to get a procedure done that could turn out to have serious consequences. When opting to get a breast augmentation Beverly Hills residents are much better off staying in the United States!

Any surgical procedure can lead to risks and side effects. Pain, dizziness and nausea are very common, but there are more serious side effects which a foreign facility may not be able to treat. Significant bleeding, infection at the site of an incision, accumulation of fluid beneath the wound and others can occur during the procedure. If these aren’t treated properly, the problem can get much more serious and another surgery might be needed. In the United States, these problems can still occur, but an accredited facility is much better equipped to handle these situations. Mexico and Thailand are two of the most popular places to get plastic surgery abroad. Although these two countries will often have better facilities than some other countries – especially those in South America – they are still not going to be as safe as those in the United States.

Many of the activities associated with postoperative traveling also increase the risk for complications. When you are traveling in a car, airplane, or train, it is inevitable that you will have to do somewhat strenuous activities. For example, bag lifting and standing for long periods of time can increase recovery time and risk of complications. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, infection is the leading complication among traveling patients. In addition, traveling is also associated with higher swelling, blood clots, and pulmonary embolism rates. When traveling abroad for a breast augmentation Los Angeles patients often find themselves visiting American facilities to get secondary treatment.

In the United States, there are accrediting agencies that are usually not found in other countries. In addition, doctors must obtain hospital privileges to perform procedures. In addition, the training of doctors in other countries can be different from those in the United States. For procedures outside of the United States, it can be difficult to evaluate the medical facility, the skill of the doctor and staff, the procedure, and the devices used during the procedures. When getting breast implants Los Angeles residents are advised to stay in the United States where they can be assured of a certain level of medical care!

Common Myths about Breast Enhancement

June 28, 2010

Beverly Hills Plastic SurgeonGetting any type of Beverly Hills plastic surgery procedure can be scary. Going under the knife can make even the bravest person very nervous. There are few surgeries that incite more nervousness than breast enhancement surgery. There are many myths surrounding breast surgeries; many of them are just that: myths. Before getting this procedure done, it is important to know what myths are true and what are false. This can help ease one’s mind significantly before the surgery.

One of the main myths surrounding breast implants is that they cause cancer. This is certainly not true. Both saline and silicone breast implants do not cause any medical diseases or illnesses. There have been studies which have proven this over and over. This myth may have originated because it is a fact that breast implants can make the detection of breast cancer via mammogram more difficult because the implants themselves can obscure about 10% of a patient’s breast tissue. Still, there are special techniques for performing mammograms on women with breast implants in order to view as much breast tissue as possible. When it comes to breast implants Beverly Hills residents can rest assured; breast implants do not increase a person’s chance of contracting breast cancer.

Another main myth surrounding breast implants is that they make breast feeding impossible. In most cases, this is false. However, there are some types of incisions that can make breast feeding more difficult. If a woman plans to breast feed some time after getting implants, she must make sure to tell her Beverly Hills plastic surgeon before undergoing the procedure. If the surgeon places the incisions in the folds under the breast or the armpit, they are less likely to disrupt milk production. A peri-areolar incision is a lot more likely to sever the milk ducts as the nipple is removed from the breast and re-adjusted. Still, even this procedure may not completely cut off milk production. If a woman is having trouble breast feeding, she should consult a lactation consultant.

Some people think that a lower priced breast surgery doesn’t compromise the result. This is not true. Although a small discount is one thing, there are costs associated with a quality surgery. A plastic surgeon should have a certified operating room, a board-certified anesthesiologist, and a surgeon certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Going abroad to get a procedure done is not a good idea. There is no way to know if the surgeon has the proper credentials and experience. Although you may cut costs by going this route, it can lead to serious health risks. When looking for a breast augmentation Beverly Hills and Los Angeles have many qualified surgeons. If money is an issue, than some offices offer no-interest payment plans.

Breast Surgery Options

Los Angeles Plastic SurgeonWhen talking about breast augmentation Los Angeles residents mainly think of breast implants. In reality, there are many different surgeries that can be done on the breasts for different reasons. In addition, these reasons are not all cosmetic; some people have other reasons for getting breast surgery.

A breast enlargement is one of the most frequently performed procedures in the United States. Many women request this procedure following pregnancy or weight loss as they want to restore the volume to their breasts. In addition, some people simply want to have larger breasts for aesthetic purposes. The size of the breast implants can be decided upon consultation with a plastic surgeon. The goal is to enlarge the breasts while also making them look and feel natural!

While getting a breast augmentation Beverly Hills residents will often opt for a breast lift (mastoplexy) as well. Gravity causes the breast tissue and skin to stretch resulting in sagging appearing breasts with low positioned nipples. Breast sagging, also known as ptosis, can occur at any age. A mastoplexy will lift the breast, the nipple, and tighten the skin of the breast. During a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon, one can decide if a breast augmentation is needed as well as a breast lift.

In the case of breast reduction Los Angeles patients often benefit greatly! This is because extremely large breasts often cause significant pain to the neck, back, and shoulder area. There are three techniques used during breast reduction surgery. The inverted T method results in a vertical and horizontal scar (hence the name). The breasts are lifted and the size of the areola is reduced. The vertical reduction technique is used for people with smaller breasts. It results in a vertical scar and a scar around the areola. The free nipple breast reduction technique is used for patients with very large breasts. This technique involves removing the nipple and areola, reducing the breast size, and suturing the nipple to the breast in a higher position.

A less common procedure is inverted nipple correction. This is performed through a small incision at the base of the nipple. A constricting band is then released and the nipple is maintained in traction for several weeks using a suture taped to the breast. This procedure may or may not influence sensory changes or inability to breast feed.

Another surprisingly popular procedure is a breast revision. One of the main reasons women undergo this procedure is because of a deflated breast implant. In addition, some women want to change out a previous implant to a smaller or larger size. Finally, some women are just not happy with the original results of a previous surgery. Most women who undergo breast surgery will have to have some kind of revision done eventually. Breast implants wear out after a few years and need to be corrected.

When consulting with a plastic surgeon Beverly Hills residents have many options when it comes to breast surgery! Speak with your plastic surgeon to learn about all your options.

The (Not So) Elusive Male Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty Los AngelesWhen thinking of plastic surgery, especially the rhinoplasty Los Angeles residents tend to think that only women are going under the knife. However, this is far from true. Although most plastic surgery procedures are done predominantly on women, men are joining in on the plastic surgery craze as well. This is partly because of the “metrosexual” movement. It is becoming more and more socially acceptable for men to take care of their appearance and their body. Some American men are beginning to turn to plastic surgery to improve their appearance.

There are a small percentage of men and women who undergo rhinoplasty surgery in order to eliminate breathing problems, but many want to reduce their nose size and make their face appear more balanced. By contacting a plastic surgeon Los Angeles residents can now change the shape of their nostrils, alter the tip of the nose, and make general changes to boost one’s appearance and self-image. Just as for women, however, there are restrictions on who can get plastic surgery. For example, young men under the age of sixteen should not undergo rhinoplasty surgery because the nose is still growing. Many young men are self conscious about their nose’s appearance but they should wait until they are old enough to understand the full ramifications of the process. When undergoing a rhinoplasty Beverly Hills and Los Angeles men must make sure they are doing it for the right reasons. The surgery cannot completely change your nose. It can alter the appearance but one must have realistic expectations as to how it will look after the procedure. Many people like to look at the “Before and After” pictures that most plastic surgeons have on their websites. One can look for a nose similar to theirs and see the changes that were made. Then he can ask himself if that is what he wants his nose to look like as well. Every nose is different but one can get a good idea of what he will look like after the procedure.

The main difference between the male rhinoplasty and the female rhinoplasty is that men tend to have thicker skin layers and a stronger bone and cartilage. In addition, it is very important for most males undergoing rhinoplasty to retain their nose’s “masculinity.” The ideal modern male nose is usually characterized by a strong and straight nasal dorsum as opposed to a soft feminine nose. A skilled plastic surgeon will be very careful not to make the nose too small or thin when performing a male rhinoplasty. When contacting a plastic surgeon Beverly Hills men must be very clear on what they want out of the surgery and what they expect their nose to look like!

According to a leading Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, many people still see it as something that Hollywood starts use to hide away their age signs such as loose skin, extra layers of fat, wrinkles, fine lines etc.

Female models are notorious of getting under the knife to enhance their body contour. Well, if you think like this, then perhaps you are not the only one. recent study by American Cosmetic Surgery Institute reveals that almost 43% of Americans feel that plastic surgery os entirely option and people ise it only to improve their looks. 37% respondents said that plastic surgery is necessary to alter any birth defect that a person is born with and must be promoted as a way of treating injuries. They of course excluded certain procedures such as Breast augmentation Beverly Hills out of their scope while answering the questions.

In a recent meet of plastic surgeon los angeles, it was noticed that the perception of cosmetic surgery in American society completely underrates the versatility that this specialty has to offer.

• Reconstructive surgery is generally performed on accident victims. It sometimes involves the rebuilding of severely fractured bones and skin grafting and includes procedures such as implanting prosthesis (artificial structures used to replace missing limbs or other body parts like teeth, hip, knee joints etc.) or reattachment of an amputated finger or toe.

Teenagers and Rhinoplasty Surgery

Southern Californians are often pressured to have “movie-star” looks. The ideals created by the media have been and continue to be emulated by people everywhere.This sentiment is especially important in the case of teenagers. Teens are already self-conscious but in Southern California they are more so because of the pressure to look a certain way. The most popular surgery for teenagers in America is a nose job. This is because, unlike other parts of the body and face, the nose stops growing at about age 14 for girls and 16 for boys. It has even become a tradition in many parts of the country to give nose jobs as graduation gifts for teenagers. This can certainly positively affect a person’s self esteem. On the other hand, many Beverly Hills plastic surgeons will say that having plastic surgery too early causes many teenagers to regret their decision later.

When it comes to teenagers, it is very important for plastic surgeons to asses both physical and mental maturity before agreeing to do the surgery. Many teenagers don’t think about the fact that plastic surgery procedures are permanent. Just because it seems like a good idea at the moment doesn’t mean that they will think it was a good idea in 5 years. In an article from CNN, Sabrina Weiss, a young adult talks about the nose job she got when she was 17. She thought it would be a great confidence-booster. Although the surgery was done well, she was immediately regretful about her decision. In the interview, she tells CNN that she still misses her old nose and wishes her parents had not let her get the procedure. She advises parents to tell their teenaged children to wait a few years and see if they still want to get the procedure in their 20s. When visiting their plastic surgeon Los Angeles teenagers often have unrealistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery. For example, the teen will not just walk out of the operating room with a transformed personality. A shy person who has trouble making friends will not automatically become a confident, sociable person just because of a nose job. On the other hand, some teenagers do benefit immensely from rhinoplasty surgery. It is a good “new beginning” for teens who are about to start college and make new friends. It really depends on the person and it is important to speak with the surgeon to determine if the surgery is right for them.

In addition, some Beverly Hills rhinoplasty surgeons suggest that teenagers requesting rhinoplasty surgery could be suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Body Dysmorphic Disorder, also called BDD, is a chronic mental illness in which one intensely obsesses about their appearance or a certain flaw in their appearance. The flaw is often exaggerated and the person obsesses about fixing it, often by means of plastic surgery. It is usually very emotionally distressing to the person. After visiting a rhinoplasty surgeon Los Angeles teens are often referred to counseling. This is a way better method of treating BDD in teenagers as it helps them to accept their body as it is.

Rhinoplasty Beverly Hills – What’s to be Expected

March 27, 2010

Rhinoplasty Beverly HillsRhinoplasty has become quite a popular surgery in the past few years. Since your nose (along with your smile) is one of the first things people notice about you, it’s easy to develop poor self esteem or feel self conscious if you’re unhappy with how it looks. Rhinoplasty Beverly Hills is a place where you can go to get rhinoplasty done and feel confident that your results will be amazing.

When you do elect to have the surgery you’ll have an array of changes done to your nose. The size and shape will be sculpted to fit the shapes of your other facial features and the overall appearance will be drastically enhanced. And though it will improve your look you have to go into the surgery with realistic expectations. You have to know that it will look better but may not live up to your expectations for how it might change your life. It’s a big step and needs to be thoughtfully considered before choosing to opt for rhinoplasty Los Angeles.

Though rhinoplasty is often a cosmetic surgery, sometimes it’s done for health reasons. The structure of some people’s noses is abnormal from injuries or it may just be the way their nose was formed (during birth your septum can actually be affected). If you have a deviated septum, it can cause you to snore which obviously can be pretty annoying and disturbing to you or anyone sleeping in near proximity to you. Tummy tuck Beverly Hills can fix the problem and even do more work on your nose since you’ll already be there and on the operating table.

If you’re considering breast augmentation Beverly Hills, you’ll need to plan for your recovery. As with any surgery, your recovery will be unique to you but similar to that of other people. A dull headache will usually follow the surgery but severe pain is not usually experienced. Bruising and swelling on the nose and cheeks will appear and the amount will vary depending on your own body. Congestion is common since the inside of your nose will be swollen. This usually lasts for a few weeks. Sleeping after rhinoplasty surgery can be pretty difficult and your doctor may recommend a sleep aid immediately following the surgery. Another important thing to remember about recovery is that you shouldn’t blow your nose until your doctor gives you the go ahead.

Plastic surgery is more than plastic

Breast Implants Beverly HillsWhen speaking of the many great things about breast implants Beverly Hills patients most often mention the confidence boost they give. Achieving the beautiful figure desired by so many, being able to wear fitted clothes and swimsuits with confidence. But breast implants aren’t just for vanity. There is so much more to them than meets the eye. A woman by the name of Lydia Carranza is alive today because of her double D breast implants. Lydia was working at a dental office when her co worker’s husband opened fire at their workplace. The gunfire killed her coworker, and Lydia herself was shot twice in the chest. After the CT scans were reviewed it was observed that the bullet fragments lodged in her implants were millimeters away from her heart and other vital organs. Had it not been for her breast implants Lydia could have died or been much more seriously injured due of the shooting. This doesn’t mean that we should all go get breast implants Beverly Hills surgeons advise us not to get implants as a means to stop bullets, or in place of a bullet proof vest, but this does show one of the many great things plastic surgery has done.

Breast implants have also helped women in overcoming breast cancer. For many women breast cancer runs in their family. Family history showing a mother, grandmother, or even great-grandmother having breast cancer can be interpreted as a factor for the likelihood of the next generation having breast cancer. Although studies show that unless you have mutations in the genes BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 you might never have breast cancer. Though these genes are hereditary in some cases it is not. Some cases of breast cancer are due to spontaneous gene mutation. Women with or without the knowledge of these inherited and spontaneous genes are still going through extreme measures to avoid ever getting breast cancer.

These women are undergoing what is called a masectomy. Also used as a treatment for breast cancer, a mastectomy is performed to remove all breast tissue, leaving only the nipple and areola. Often during the same procedure, a breast implant is placed, in order to replace the breast tissue lost. A masectomy might not seem like an option for some of us but for others, it is an only option. By finding a skilled plastic surgeon Los Angeles breast cancer patients can look forward to the fact that they can still have a beautiful, shapely body, even if they’ve lost their breasts to cancer. Plastic surgery Los Angeles & beyond has helped both women and men with more than just looks. It has been proven over and over that plastic surgery can be implemented not only for shallow reasons, but also for self preservation.

Plastic Surgery to Gain Back your Self-Confidence

Plastic Surgery Los AngelesMost satisfied plastic surgery Los Angeles patients say they have fallen back in love with their bodies. For most women if we look pretty on the outside we feel pretty on the inside. For some women plastic surgery has allowed for the correction of all our self image problems. We can pretty much fix anything we’re unhappy with cosmetically through the use of plastic surgery. While some women criticize those who have had plastic surgery, many more others embracing it. I personally believe in the fact that one’s body is his or hers alone, and he or she has the right to change it. If plastic surgery gives you the confidence and beauty you’ve always wished for, then why be ashamed of a little nip/tuck?

Many women are uncomfortable with the size of their breasts. Whether too big, too small, too low, or too uneven, with breast augmentation Los Angeles women are able to get the proportional chest size they’ve always desired and feel more comfortable in their own skin. Small breast especially are difficult to accept in our society. Women with smaller breasts have been teased and ridiculed throughout history, and have even been accused of being underdeveloped – not a real woman. This can be very harsh on one’s self-esteem and self-image, often worsening with age. Many women say, if given the option to change anything about their bodies, they would choose larger breasts. Now with breast implants Los Angeles women no longer have to relive the memory of the high school kids tormenting them.

Likewise with breast reduction, breast lift, or other breast enhancement procedures, women are able to feel at ease with the size of their chest, wear better-fitting clothes, and even swimsuits.
And men should not be counted out from feeling self-conscious about their appearance as well. As we age our bodies begin to change, our metabolism slows down, and it becomes harder to maintain a good healthy physique like we used to. Excess fat begins to develop around problem areas such as the midsection, thighs, arms, buttocks, and neck, and this is not easily rid through regular diet and exercise. Liposuction can rid us of these stubborn fat pockets quickly and almost pain-free. Similarly, when we age, our skin loses it’s elasticity. It does not bounce back to shape like it used to. For this reason, men and women who have experienced massive weight loss, or women who have recently given birth, may noticed excess skin that cannot be put back into shape. This can be uncomfortable as well as unhygienic.

For this there is a procedure called a tummy tuck Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr.Vladimir Grigoryants performs these and other surgeries with great skill and care at his local plastic surgery center. He will consult with you and explain the procedures in detail, as well as answer any questions you may have. For more information and to schedule a consultation for plastic surgery that can help get you your self-confidence back, call 800-540-0508.

Safety of Plastic Surgery

Beverly Hills Plastic SurgeonPlastic surgery complications are very rare. Death caused by complications of plastic surgery is even rarer. Your doctor will tell you that there are risks with any type of surgery, however if you are a healthy candidate, and your surgeon is well-trained and qualified, there should be no reason to experience any complications. Beverly Hills plastic surgeons meet yearly to discuss and make available the most up-to-date and least risky surgery techniques for patients all over the world.

When undergoing plastic surgery your doctor will determine whether the two main risk factors pose more of a threat. The first risk lies within the actual surgical procedure and the second risk has to do with the body’s response to the anesthesia. Not everyone is a candidate for plastic surgery because of one or the other. Another reason why one might not be a good candidate for plastic surgery is because they may have unrealistic goals. This person may have undergone a second or third surgery in the same area. For example, if a woman has had more than one breast augmentation Beverly Hills surgeons may refuse to perform another breast augmentation because the odds are against her in being satisfied with the work this most recent time.

Anesthesia is what puts you to sleep and frees you from memory throughout the entire process. People have been more and more frightened of this because they’ve heard that if something does go wrong with the anesthetic which is likely not to happen it can be fatal. When a person is healthy it really is at minimal risk which they go under the anesthesia. When someone is unhealthy for example, extremely over weight, suffer from high blood pressure, liver or kidney problems, diabetes, drug abuse and other life threatening diseases this is when going under might be too risky and a surgeon might not be able to go through with the process.

Although plastic surgery like any surgery does impose a risk, plastic surgery has a very high success rate. For example, tummy tuck Los Angeles Surgeons have a very high success rate and inform us that this procedure is relatively simple and done very often. Also performed almost as often is the breast augmentation Los Angeles women have been flocking to local surgeons in the thousands, in order to fulfill their venture for perfection. For most people familiar with plastic surgery, and have had one or more procedures done, they are usually very happy with the results, and are over their fear of going under anesthesia.

Choosing a Plastic Surgeon for your Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty Los AngelesWhen going in for plastic surgery one would expect for you to experience many different emotions. You may be somewhat scared or nervous, as is expected with any type of surgery. But you may also be excited – anxious to see the new you. You will go into surgery looking how you always have, and will come out – hopefully – looking like you’ve always dreamed.

There are cases however, and maybe you know or have heard of some experiences, where the results of plastic surgery were less than what was desired. Celebrity plastic surgery gone wrong is sometimes seen in the news or in magazines, but often it can be avoided just by putting a little time and effort into researching the right procedure and the right plastic surgeon Los Angeles residents especially have all heard horror stories of bad plastic surgery. One reason why plastic surgery may go wrong is because the pateint was unclear on the desired results, or chose procedures that weren’t right for them. It is important to really think about what it is that you want to change about your appearance.

More often, however, the reason why surgery goes badly is because the person did not choose a fully accredited surgeon or facilities. Inexperienced doctors who may offer discount plastic surgery should be avoided at all costs. You may think that you will be saving money, but as with anything, you get what you paid for. You should be able to know on your first consult, whether or not the surgeon is right for you. It is encouraged to actually go to more than one consult, that way you can compare surgeons based on their demeanor, their experience, their results, their clientele, etc.

This is the reason why many doctors perform revision plastic surgery. For example, revision rhinoplasty Los Angeles surgeons correct the mistakes that may have occurred under the care of inexperienced plastic surgeons. Although rhinoplasty has been performed for thousands of years, the techniques have drastically changed in the last decade. It is important to choose a surgeon that is fully knowledgeable of the most modern and effective techniques in rhinoplasty Los Angeles houses hundreds of great doctors to choose from. You just have to make the time to do the research.

Recently a man from Los Angeles went to see what was supposed to be a “world renowned surgeon” in Texas to have his rhinoplasty done. He didn’t look into the surgeon’s background or research any of the surgeon’s previous cases. Only basing his knowledge of the surgeon on word of mouth, he did not even bother to consult with any surgeons in Los Angeles. So he made the trip and got the procedure done. Immediately after the surgery, he noticed that the tip of his nose was very fragile, and before long, the little portion of skin that separates the nostrils (the columella) began to turn black. The surgeon was not very attentive and didn’t let him know what was going on. He came back home to see a plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, but by this time he had already developed a hole where his columella was suppose to be.

Drastic measures had to be taken in order to correct the problem. This could have been prevented had he done his research, and really took the time to search nearby. In nose surgery Los Angeles surgeons are highly experienced and qualified. Rhinoplasty and all other plastic and non plastic surgeries are serious procedures. It is important to consult with more than one surgeon before you decide.

Cosmetic procedures tax (Botax)

November 23, 2009

Cosmetic procedures tax (Botax)

A recent proposal for the health care reform was to introduce  a  5% tax on elective cosmetic procedures.  Lawmakers that proposed this tax believe that it will allow to generate 5.8 billion dollars over the next ten years.  However,  the plastic surgery societies oppose this tax as discriminatory, arbitrary and ineffective.

First,  this tax is discriminatory against women as 86 percent of plastic surgery patients are female, of which 91 percent are between the working ages of 19-64 according to the current ASPS President. He further added that cosmetic surgery is no longer an exclusive luxury afforded by the very wealthy, but rather a mainstream and reasonable option most common amongst the working middle-class.

According to the  plastic surgery societies, such a tax has been proven ineffective in the past.  New Jersey is the  only state that passed a similar 6% tax on elective medical procedures in 2004. However, the NJ Department of Taxation has experienced a 59% shortfall compared to the projected revenue estimates.  Eight other states have considered similar tax legislation– and they all wisely rejected them.

Finally, though the bill claims that the only procedures that would be taxed are those that are “not necessary to ameliorate a deformity arising from, or directly related to, a congenital abnormality, a personal injury resulting from an accident or trauma, or a disfiguring disease,” The Plastic Surgery Societies contend that such distinctions aren’t always obvious. Because the line between ‘cosmetic’ and ‘reconstructive’ surgery is not always clear, such a tax would leave the determination of medical necessity up to state tax auditors – a completely inappropriate proposition.

Plastic Surgery Checklist: 5 Important Things to Consider

October 1, 2009

Plastic surgery offers tremendous benefits through a surgeon’s skill and modern technology. It can be the perfect way to enhance your appearance, and improve self-confidence and it’s important to consider certain important factors before having plastic surgery. To decide if plastic surgery would be right for you, it is important to consider a number of different issues before you decide. Spending some time researching your options, discussing your concerns with a qualified Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon and considering the following five factors before you decide to have plastic surgery is highly recommended by professionals.

With regards to personal expectations, what do you expect to gain from having plastic surgery such as breast augmentation Beverly Hills patients should consider. Always remember that surgery is never a quick fix for life’s problems. Going into a procedure with the belief that it will dramatically change your life can lead to disappointment and frustration. Your goal should be to have realistic expectations about what plastic surgery will truly accomplish.

In addition to personal expectations, physical and emotional health play a key role in a successful plastic surgery experience. Before any type of plastic surgery, your overall health status will be thoroughly assessed. For instance, before getting your breast implants Beverly Hills doctors will also consider your psychological and emotional well being. Before you decide to have plastic surgery, think about your own physical and emotional health. Discuss both of these important issues with your doctor in order to determine if you are a good candidate for plastic surgery.

Next, consider cost. The total costs of a plastic surgery procedure just might be the deciding factor for many people. While there are many different financing options for cosmetic procedures, you need to give serious thought to whether the surgery fits into your budget and your lifestyle.

Now we come to selecting your surgeon. In order to achieve the best possible results, it is absolutely essential to choose a plastic surgeon that is qualified, skilled and experienced. There are many ways to find a good surgeon, including asking for referrals from area doctors and hospitals. Check his or her qualifications and credentials with your states medical licensing board. Making sure your surgeon is well qualified plays a major role in your decision, so always take the time to fully consider the qualifications and credentials of each potential surgeon.

Finally, give some thought regarding recovery time. The length of time it takes to recover from a particular procedure also plays a significant role in your decision to get plastic surgery. Each procedure, from a facelift to a tummy tuck Beverly Hills plastic surgeons tell us, can vary dramatically. Some procedures require only a few hours of recovery time before you can return to most of your normal activities like work or school, while others can take weeks of recovery time. Always research each procedure carefully and discuss your options with your doctor in order to make the decision that is right for your specific needs.
