Cosmetic Surgeon – Plastic Surgery in Utah

Thursday, June 10th, 2010


When we are younger most things in life require very little effort. But as we age we realize we must be actively involved to ensure we achieve our desired outcome. No matter what we want we must work to achieve it. Being actively involved the desired outcome will be well worth it. Our minds, bodies and spirits take on the challenge of life and suffer its effects. Consequently they need our attention to keep them healthy, dynamic and capable of dealing with life’s challenges.

The added maintenance that comes with age is nothing new, but some of the techniques for approaching it are. With the increase seen over the last decade in cosmetic surgery, it is more crucial than ever to ensure that, if you decide to pursue it, you choose the right doctor. Remember that your best chance to be satisfied with your results is to have your procedure done right the first time, and you can’t simply return a failed surgery like you can your average unsatisfactory purchase. Research as many doctors as you can. Don’t be afraid to look outside of your area, or to insist on board certification. Don’t decide with your wallet. Look over a surgeon’s past work, and be sure you can be personally comfortable working with a doctor before you choose to proceed.

Nose surgery in New Jersey

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

During nose surgery, plastic surgeons may reshape the nasal bones, cartilage and soft tissues inside the nose to improve the appearance and functionality when necessary. The final outcome of nose surgery relates to the surgeon’s technical skill and artistic expertise. Sometimes, there are limits to the procedure. For example, intracranial features and skin condition are features of the nose that cannot be altered in nose surgery and may have a role in the outcome of the procedure. Complication risks are very low, but sometimes unavoidable in nose surgery. The patient’s compliance with post operative instructions following the procedure also plays a role in the final outcome of nose surgery.

It is true that some complications may result from error in surgery. Though, all in all the risks are very low in nose surgery. Complications can usually be managed through treatment by a plastic surgeon and some complications may require secondary nose surgery. Yet, the rewards from relief of nasal birth defects, trauma, or an unsatisfactory nasal appearance are plentiful for most all nose surgery patients.

By exploring some complication risks, people interested in nose surgery can see how their part in nose surgery is an important component in surgical outcomes. Following your surgeon’s instructions is vital in limiting complications. Ask your surgeon any questions and concerns you may have about your healing process. Once you go home to heal, call the staff with questions that may come up during your healing process.

Contact your surgeons office today to schedule a consultation. See if nose surgery is an option for you.

Facial Surgery in California

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

A Facelift is designed to lift, smooth, firm and reverse the visible signs of facial aging. By correcting sagging facial skin and muscles, removing excess fat, and restoring firmness, a Facelift can create a more youthful, rested, and vibrant appearance. If the signs of aging on your face bother you, an array of non-surgical and surgical treatments including laser and chemical skin resurfacing, injectables and fillers, contour threadlifts, microfat grafting, mini or “MACS” Cheek and Facelift, or a full “SMAS” Facelift, may be the right choice for you. When appropriately selected and applied, facial plastic surgery combined with adjunct treatments can result in a long-lasting, natural, and youthful look. For a Facelift in Beverly Hills consult Dr. Daniel Golshani.

For many people, the neck is the first area to show signs of aging such as weakened neck muscles that cause the appearance of “bands” around the neck. Frequently performed in conjunction with a Mid-Facelift or facial implants, a Neck Lift can improve an aging neck by significantly reducing the appearance of sagging skin under the jaw.

Over time, many patients feel that their eyebrows begin to look droopy, causing them to look sad, depressed, and even angry. Such droopiness or sagging usually occurs in conjunction with other signs of facial aging. Unfortunately, due to hereditary factors and signs of aging, the eyes may not be able to communicate as effectively as we mature. If your upper or lower eyelids have puffy, dropping, or excess skin that make you appear sad or tired, cosmetic eyelid surgery may be right for you.

In order to remain on the cutting edge of plastic surgery and ensuring safe and exceptional care for his patients, Dr. Daniel Golshani Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon thoroughly evaluates new techniques before incorporating them into his practice. Dr. Golshani’s practice includes the Rexford Surgical Institute (RSI), an AAAHC accredited state-of-the-art surgical facility, and Avosant Beverly Hills, a full-service medi-spa.

Body Plastic Surgery by Dr. Jeffrey D. Hoefflin

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Dr. Hoefflin’s body contouring procedures includes SmartLipo, a revolutionary new method of removing unwanted fat using a laser to liquefy or “melt” the fat away. It is intended for patients who do not have significant amounts of weight to lose, but rather desire sculpting to improve their contour or shape. Smartlipo™ has many advantages over traditional liposuction techniques. Using a carefully calibrated laser, the safe and highly effective method works to tighten or shrink the skin, creating a newly sculpted appearance. It is highly safe and effective, allowing the surgeon to typically remove more fat from a given area with less risk than traditional liposuction.

One of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures performed today, liposuction (also known as “lipoplasty” or “suction lipectomy”) sculpts the body by removing unwanted fat from areas around the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. Although not a substitute for dieting or exercise, liposuction is highly effective in removing stubborn areas of fat that do are unresponsive to typical weight-loss methods. The ideal candidates are patients who are physically healthy with firm, elastic skin, and with realistic goals and expectations.

There are individual and gender differences that must be considered when performing either liposuction or abdominoplasty in male patients. During your consultation with Dr. Hoefflin, he will discuss how each procedure can be tailored to meet your individual needs.

In cases where an individual has undergone dramatic weight loss, he or she may be left with loose, sagging skin on the upper arms. This is a common, though unfortunately unattractive side effect of significant weight loss. Brachioplasty, or arm lift, can help improve the appearance of the arms by a careful removal of excess skin beneath the arms and a tightening of the flabby tissue. Dr. Hoefflin has extensive experience helping patients after successful weight loss look and feel better in their skin.

Face Lift in Beverly Hills

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Los Angeles board-certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Hoefflin performs facelift surgery using the most advanced techniques, while placing the highest priority on patient safety and comfort. Dr. Hoefflin has lectured and interviewed on safety in outpatient plastic surgery operations.

Hereditary factors, personal lifestyle choices, and sun exposure all contribute to the aging process and changes in our facial appearance. As we age, important structural facial fat is lost or descends in our midface. This, together with the loss of elastic support in our skin can create excessive wrinkling and sagging skin. The result is a tired or drawn out facial appearance. Combined with the very fine lines from excessive sun exposure, the aging process becomes revealed. A facelift can correct these conditions and provide a more natural, youthful, and rejuvenated appearance.

Dr. Hoefflin performs the advanced endoscopic (camera-assisted) technique by placing small inconspicuous incisions within the scalp and the mouth that become invisible when completely healed. The procedure is usually performed as an outpatient under local anesthesia with deep sedation, and may take from 1 to 2 hours. In the properly selected patient, the result is a natural, youthful and rejuvenated midface without any signs of surgery. By rejuvenating the face from the cheek area down to the jowl and neck, this technique offers a rapid recovery, with patients often returning to routine activities within one to two weeks.

During your consultation, an individual facial analysis, along with digital photography, will allow Dr. Hoefflin to provide you with his professional expertise and recommendations for the type and placement of facial implants. Patient satisfaction after facial augmentation is usually very high, with long-lasting results. Patients can expect minimal postoperative bruising and quick recovery times.

Most facelifts are done under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Depending on the area to be treated, facelifts usually involve incisions made along the hairline, which extend around the ears to the lower scalp.

Most patients are back to work in 10 to 14 days, and may resume their normal activities in about three weeks.

BOTOX Cosmetic in Hawaii

Monday, February 15th, 2010

“If you keep making that face, it is going to stay that way permanently.”

I remember my mom used to tell us kids that frequently, especially when one of us would make a frustrated face or dare to shoot mom an angry glance. Little did I realize that as I got older, Mom’s wisdom would become more fact than fiction.

Every year we grow older, our skin also ages. Our aging skin along with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are the result of what could be the combination of a multitude of various factors. In addition to the normal changes to our skin cells, the loss of hormones and decreased collagen production, we also experience changes to areas surrounding the face such as the brow/forehead area caused by muscle contractions.

We have all seen the effects that muscle contractions have on the skin. Are you familiar with those vertical lines that appear between your brows? Those are commonly referred to as “11’s” and are the result from repeated muscle contractions. every time you concentrate, squint, or frown, the muscles that control your brow movement contract. Over time, this will cause the brow skin to furrow and fold. After years of repeated brow contractions, those 11’s can begin to stay prominent, even after your brow muscles are relaxed. Gee, maybe Mom was right after all.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein that temporarily treats the fine lines and wrinkles caused by aging and muscle contractions by blocking nerve signals to the muscles in the treatment area. BOTOX® cosmetic achieves this by “stunning” the muscles, thereby reducing the muscle activity that is causing the prominent lines to form between the brows. A BOTOX treatment session consists of a few injection administered by your plastic surgeon. The procedure only takes a few minutes, and there is no down time.

Lip Augmentation In Kentucky

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Lip augmentation is a procedure designed to increase the size of the lips in order to create a fuller and more attractive lip. The Lip Augmentation procedure is a safe procedure used by both women and men of all ages. Each lip may be treated separately from each other, or as a combined procedure.

In the last ten years, the lip augmentation procedure has become one of the more popular cosmetic procedures, especially among women. There are two main approaches to lip augmentation. One type utilizes natural or man made synthetic fillers to achieve the desired lip size. The results of using fillers are, in most cases temporary and repeat treatments will be required to maintain the result. Another approach is a surgical technique where the plastic surgeon relocates lip tissue from the inside to the outside of the lip.
