Facial Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills December 9, 2008

In Los Angeles and Beverly Hills early facial aging is no longer addressed with a full facelift. Instead, much smaller and less invasive facial procedures are used to lift the face. Your Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon can use facial fat grafting to inject very small amounts of your own body fat (micro-grafting) into the areas of the face that have hollowed and sag as a result of aging. These areas might include the naso-labial folds, eyelid grooves (tear troughs), cheeks, and even the jaw lines. Often time, fat transfer to the face is combined with the newest versions of Eyelid Surgery. Blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills has evolved to minimize the unnatural “hollowed-eye” look and to keep the eyes and face full, natural, and youthful.

To erase the deep naso-labial folds, to fill the hollowing of the central face, and to reverse the sagging of the cheeks, fat transfer alone might not be the ideal choice. Minimal invasive mid-face lift as performed in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles suspends the sagging cheeks and the central face through a thin incision under the lower eyelashes. This facial plastic surgery procedure rejuvenates the face without the distinctive signs of a facelift. The recovery of a mid-facelift or cheek lift is rather quick as compared to a full facelift.

Sagging brows that hood over the eyes makes us look sad and tired. Beverly Hills endoscopic forehead lift elevates the droopy brows and softens forehead wrinkles and frowns via small hidden incisions in the scalp.

Plastic Surgery Nutritional Supplements in Beverly Hills March 19, 2008

Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeons have always been drawn to the cutting edge technology in order to give their patients the very best. The latest Plastic Surgery advent in Beverly Hills has not been a high tech laser.  But rather, just the opposite, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeons are turning low tech! They are embracing Holistic Medicine- the natural herbs and vitamin supplements that potentially help cosmetic surgery patients heal and recover the fastest. Even the American Society of Plastic Surgery is now educating the public about nutritional supplements that reduce bruising and facilitate healing. The following are examples of some of the most commonly used nutritional herbal supplements and vitamins that are now commonly being used by plastic and cosmetic surgeons in Beverly Hills. Arnica Montana  Arnica Montana is a natural herb that minimizes surgical bleeding, bruising, inflammation, muscle pain, and promotes healing.  It works well both in an oral form and as a cream, but avoid putting the cream near open wounds and fresh incisions.  Taken before plastic surgery, there is less bleeding and swelling afterwards, and taken after cosmetic surgery, pain and bruising are minimized. Because of this property Arnica Montana is used prior to liposuction, tummy tuck, or facial plastic surgery.Usage: Start 3 days before plastic surgery.  Four pills, 3 times a day, under the tongue.  Let pills dissolve. Continue for two weeks after Plastic Surgery.  Nux Vomica  Also known as Poison Nut, this alleviates the side-effects of anesthesia and other drugs, helping you to feel more like yourself soon after plastic surgery.  It helps with nausea and dysphasia; ad helps detoxify your body from cosmetic surgery.  Specialty pharmacies carry the multiplex formulas.Usage: 4 pills 3 times a day under tongue.  Let pills dissolve. Continue for one week after plastic surgery.  Grape Seed Extract  (Proanthocyanidins) This herb is derived from Grape Seed and has a special affinity for skin tissue and promotes healing.  It helps shorten the recovery period by reducing inflammation and accelerating the rate of repair to the skin.Usage: Start 7 days before plastic surgery.  One, 100mg capsule, 3 times a day on an empty stomach. Bromezyme™(2400 mcu) A natural proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple that has shown to reduce inflammation, consequently decreasing pain, swelling and accelerating the healing process. This nutritional supplements should be taken prior to plastic surgery.Usage: Start 3 days before surgery.  3 tablets, 3 times a, day on an empty stomach.  Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) Vitamin C is an antioxidant which helps your natural defenses against free radicals, which are unstable molecules that age the skin, resulting from environmental pollutants, smoking, or excess sun exposure. Vitamin C neutralizes volatile reactions caused by free radicals that damage skin. Preliminary studies suggest vitamin C supplements in non-deficient people can speed healing of various types of wounds and trauma, including surgery, minor injuries, herniated intervertebral disks and skin ulcers. Vitamin C is also essential for your body’s production of collagen which is used in the building of your skin, bones, teeth, and every organ of your body.Vitamin C can be found in citrus fruits and juices, cantaloupe, strawberries, kiwi, cabbage, spinach, broccoli, and green peppers. There are many forms and doses of Vitamin C available in Health Food Stores. Taking any more than about 200 milligrams per day is likely a waste of money anyway, according to a landmark study by Mark Levine of the NIH. Levine’s group found that the body’s cells can’t absorb more than about 100 milligrams per day, and the concentration of vitamin C in the blood begins to level off at a dose of 200 milligrams per day. The study appeared in the April 1996 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery- The lastes Cosmetic Surgery Procedures February 11, 2008

In today’s society, as people live longer and healthier lives, an increasing emphasis is being placed on preserving ones youthful appearance.  In Beverly Hills Cosmetic surgery enables men and women to look as young, healthy, and energetic as they feel! With Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills men and women try to live their lives to its fullest and to look as healthy as they feel. People want their looks to reflect their good health and stamina. Just glance at any magazine such as Allure, Cosmopolitan, or Self; and there is often an article related to the topic of cosmetic surgery in Beverly Hills or Los Angeles.

As a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, doctor Sean Younai come across many men and women of all ages, social, and ethnic backgrounds who seek cosmetic plastic surgery for personal as well as and professional reasons. Contrary the popular perception that people seek cosmetic enhancements to please their spouses or friends, we find that most just want to feel better about themselves, and for themselves. For instance, many women in Beverly Hills tell me that from an early age they wanted to have fuller breasts in order to look more proportional in cloths! While others who were born with congenital deformities seek plastic surgery just to look normal. Or have you ever heard of a friend saying that he/she hates having pictures taken because they hate their nose.While many seek cosmetic plastic surgery because of self-fulfillment, a growing number of others resort to plastic surgery in Beverly Hills for their profession. There is a growing pressure in the workforce not to look too old and rusty. Some fear being pushed out of their jobs, only to be replaced by younger workers.  They wish to take steps to correct some of the physical signs of aging in order to remain competitive.  This does not only pertain to the entertainment industry but to all professions. The most popular plastic surgery procedures in Beverly Hills are- Breast Augmentation, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Rhinoplasty, and Eyelid Surgery.  While most Beverly Hills women seek breast augmentation with saline or silicone implants in order to increase their bust size, there are many others who seek to correct their breast asymmetry, tubular breast deformity, or to revise their previous breast enlargement surgery with implant exchange or capsulectomy. Also, there are women who undergo a breast lift or mastopexy along with breast augmentation in order to lift their sagging breasts which developed as a result of pregnancy, aging, or weight loss. To achieve a more proportional figure or to restore their bodies shape men and women of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles undergo body contouring procedures such as- liposuction, liposculpture, tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, body lift, brachioplasty or arm tuck, buttock augmentation, and thigh lift. Body contouring procedures such as these have become almost a necessity, especially for those who have lost massive weight after undergoing Bariatric surgery or Gastric Bypass surgery.  

Finally, a variety of surgical and non-surgical facial cosmetic surgery procedures which combat facial aging have become accepted in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. While the clock doesn’t ever stop ticking, youthful appearance can be preserved by the latest cosmetic facial surgeries such as eyelid surgery or blephaorplasty, facelift, neck lift, forehead lift, and rhinoplasty.

Plastic surgery in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills is no longer exclusive to the rich and famous or the Hollywood celebrities, such as Britney Spears, Anna Nichole Smith, Ashlee Simpson, etc. Today, men and women of every walk of life are having cosmetic surgery in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and all over Southern California. The reason for this upsurge in cosmetic plastic surgery is its affordability. Most people can now afford plastic surgery in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles. There are several reasons for this including:

1. Availability of Financing for Cosmetic Surgery. In the old days no financial company would loan money without collateral, especially if it was for cosmetic surgery. Now, some of the major financial institutions are marketing primarily to the plastic surgery crowd. Realizing that those with a steady income can make payments for cosmetic surgery, just as if they were making it for a new car. In fact, some loan companies are becoming even more creative. They are willing to give patients a cosmetic surgery home equity loan, with the payments added to patient’s monthly mortgage payment.
2. Cost of Cosmetic Surgery. Whether the relative cost of cosmetic surgery procedures has come down, or the price of most things has gone up, the prices of plastic surgery procedures is now within people’s spending budget.
3.  Plastic Surgeons offer financing. While it used to be that one had to pay cash for plastic surgery, now plastic surgeons accept credit card payments, financing, or even offer cosmetic surgery savings plans.
