Facelift surgical technique has gone from extremely simple in the early years, to far too complex, and now is returning to a happy middle ground of just right. There is still attention to the skin , fat, and muscles of the face, and the results are excellent with the less invasive and quicker to heal technique. I am certainly not referring to the advertised noontime lifts that take less than an hour and are quite frankly nonsense. I am talking about a real facelift of the highest quality. Operating time varies from 3 to 4 hours, depending on age and work required for perfection. This facelift of 2010 can be done under local anesthesia but quite frankly, when I have my facelift, I will prefer the comfort and added security of general anesthesia and a MD anesthesiologist in attendance. I never compromise safety for my patients. Think long and hard before entering into any surgical procedure without an MD anesthesiologist by your side. The anesthesiologist affords you comfort and supreme safety. An anesthesiologist in attendance allows me to concentrate totally on your facelift surgery and obtain the very best results for you.

Before a plastic surgeon can embark on a surgical procedure about the eyelids, there must be a clear definition of what will constitute beauty in each specific patient. Eyelids differ in men , women, different races, different ages, different facial types, etc. Let us undertake first a thought process of what should be attained in the 55 plus or minus year old female of general non Asian eyelid anatomy. Later we will discuss Asian patients, males, and on and on. We will discuss in this essay only upper eyelids to be more specific because it is the upper eyelids that differ most between the mentioned groups. Upper eyelids in the non Asian female of 55 tears or so must have the following characteristics. The upper lids ideally should have a open natural alert look. The upper eyelid crease should be about 10 mm from the lash line. The crease should display a beautiful flowing natural curve from the inner canthal area to 10 mm to 13 mm beyond the lateral canthal area. Ideally no puffiness is noted in this upper lid at any point along its length. On the other hand it is preferable that the lid not have a too deep hollow look. The surgeon must be prudent in his removal of fat, In fact great thought must always be given to the removal of any fat about the eyelid area because of possible hollowness later. The upper eyelid ideally rests above the pupil but below the upper border of the iris. The upper lid closes easily in a blink or at rest or sleep. The function must always be normal and function must be a foremost consideration of the plastic surgeon. An enhancement of the beautiful upper eyelid as well as the lower eyelid is the presence of long attractive eyelashes. Latisse, an eyelash enhancer made by Allergan is a product that really works and works consistently and extremely well for nearly everyone. To attain the above beautiful eyelid the surgeon must have extensive training and exert great thought and planning. A surgeon that is boarded by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is ideal. Just the perfect amount of skin must be excised in exactly the perfect incision. The orbicularis oculi muscle must be examined and properly adjusted. The fat must be assessed and properly adjusted. A beautiful flowing subcuticular suture must be used for closure that can be removed by a single pull out effort. The sutures should be removed by the 5th day. The procedure should be quite easy and a joy for the patient. Return to work or play should be possibly after a week. A desire for significant confidentiality can make this 2 weeks. This factor varies.. In my next essay session I will discuss the lower eye in all ages, and races, and sexes, because the lower lid is somewhat more universal in its nature. Nevertheless there are difference that must be addressed and the different looks possible must be discussed with the patient.

Again and again I hear patients mention that they would have considered a plastic surgery procedure years earlier had they know it could be done with such reasonable pain control. We all fear pain. I do not want to be hurt! Do you? Of course not. A little thought and planning gos a long way in minimizing pain in procedures such as the facelift, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, breast reduction, abdominoplasty, liposuction, otoplasty, forehead lift, and eyelid lift. The surgeon must plan to minimize pain and discuss these plans with patients and then patients must cooperate to keep all discomfort at the minimum. What are the ingredients or menu of less pain in plastic surgery or any surgery for that matter. The list of factors that are important for less pain include discussion and understanding between surgeon and patient, cooperation, adequate pain medicine that actually agrees with you, anti nausea medication that facilitates taking pain medication, sedation for sleep, bupiveracaine (marcaine), pain pumps placed within the surgical site, a firm concept of the fact the the wound at rest heals best, ice and cool packs, adequate help after surgery, and an attentive surgeon readily available if pain becomes a factor. There are many types of pain medications but clearly the narcotic medications works the best in the early post operative period. Percocet gives good relief with minimal nausea. Remember however that all narcotic medication can stimulate nausea. Some patients prefer no narcotics and this may work well. Patient and doctor need to discuss the types of medication that may have worked in the patients past experiences. Anti nausea medications help prevent dreaded feelings of upset stomach and the finest anti nausea medication is Ondansitron (Zofran). Call Maximart Pharmacy in Palo Alto because they offer this wonderful medication at a great price. The best form of Ondansatron is the 8 mg sublingual tablet taken every 4 hours if needed under the tongue. Rectal suppositories of Phenergan work but who wants a rectal suppository, no one. Sedation at bedtime helps pain medicine do its work and I think patients do well with Ambien. Ambien has been cleared for climbers on Mt Everest so its very safe. The Marcaine pain pumps come with various names including Pain Buster and such and work extremely well for abdominoplasty surgery and sometimes other procedures. No tummy tuck should ever be done without a Marcaine pain device. Good old fashioned coolness and ice especially is still one of the great pain remedies. While selected steady activity after surgery helps prevent pneumonia and thrombophlebitis, nevertheless the wound at rest heals best and hurts less so be sensible. Discuss pain with you Plastic Surgeon in great detail. Doctors are generally kind souls who are merciful and do not want you to hurt unnecessarily. Get a great plan that you feel comfortable with. Lastly prepare yourself and your home and care team so all is easy for you after surgery. You do not want to be running to you local store for the milk and soup you should have purchased pre operation. Regarding soup, get low salt. Salt (Sodium) causes swelling or at least makes it worse and swelling hurts so avoid salt. Low salt means less than 1500 mg a day. Lastly, remember there is a correlation with more bruising and more pain. Remember to avoid substances that interfere with blood clotting 2 weeks before and after surgery. These include aspirin, ibupropfen, fish oil, Vitamin E, and many Herbs to name a few. Get the advoidance list from your Plastic Surgeon before surgery. Does arnica montana reduce bruising. There is absolutely no proof that it does but if you feel better taking it please do so because it will not harm you beyond its cost of a few dollars. So you are now ready for you minimally painfully Plastic Surgery experience

I hear some patients say they fear they are too old to have cosmetic surgery. This is simply not a valid fear. We humans build false fears about so many things. The fact is that if you are healthy and desire to have cosmetic plastic surgery it is just fine as long as you are reasonably healthy. Certainly I am very detailed about checking health issues in all patients and in the 60 to 90 plus group little things pop up that need sorted out before elective surgery can occur. I have done breast augmentations in patients in their early 80s with great success and happiness. My oldest facelift patient was an 89 year old lady having her second facelift and she did fine. I might add that this lady worked full time 5 days a week. And then there was an 86 year old lady who had a facelift because she liked to go on cruises and dance. As she aged she was unfortunately not getting asked to dance much. After her facelift she was frequently asked to dance and looked just great. My oldest liposuction patient was 79, and yes skin will contract just fine at that age. I have done many injured noses in people in their 70s and 80s but my oldest elective rhinoplasty was 76. This was a male patient physician who never liked the hump on his nose, so I removed it and he was delighted. My oldest setback of very prominent ears was also on a male that was 77 and had always disliked his ears since childhood. I set his ears back and he was very pleased. Older people often get a little tummy distention that can be corrected with a simple moderate abdominoplasty. Baggy eyelids can be corrected as well as hooded eyelids well into the 90s. So this gos on and on. I have many wonderful patients in their 60s , 70s, and 89, and occasionally 90s that are made very happy by looking the way they wish. And then there are Botox and Juvederm and Obagi creams and peels which can be done safely in any age person.

Complications in Plastic Surgery are something few care to discuss. In fact serious complications are quite rare. Nevertheless occasionally problems do arise. A largely preventable problem is that of blood clots (thromboembolism) that may originate in the calves and travel to the lungs. Once in the lungs this is called pulmonary embolism and is a threat. The pulmonary embolism problem can be successfully treated but the best course is prevention. The old advice of stay healthy by not getting sick never shined brighter. In over 25 years of practice none of my patients have ever had this blood clot - pulmonary embolism problem. I attribute this partly to good fortune but generally we make our own good fortune. I have always treated my patients premptively with every prevention method known. These preventions include the use of sequential compression devices on 100% of surgery patients during surgery to prevent blood stagnating in the calf area. These devices squeeze the lower legs gently and help keep blood moving. This works. Close cooperation with our MD anesthesiologist also greatly helps in preparing patients for surgery and picking safe candidates and procedures selected and tailored for each candidate. During surgery the anesthesiologist constantly safeguards positioning of the patient to assure the lower extremities are in good position, are moved from time to time, and have no obstructive encumbrances. I work closely with our anesthesiologists to assure safe dressing and garments that do not obstruct lower extremities. The SCDs are continued in recovery and also in the hospital if hospitalization is selected. Patients are ambulated the evening of surgery and frequent short walks are encouraged the day after surgery. In liposuction cases I will start ibuprofen or a similar NSAID for its anti coagulating effect. This combination of effort for all of my patients has been 100% successful.

Face Lift by Dr. Brian Windle

Rhytidectomy or more commonly known as a face lift, is a surgical procedure used to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of the face

The best candidates for this procedure are men and women whose face and neck have begun to sag but who still have some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well-defined. A face lift can make you look younger and may enhance your self-confidence.

he vast majority of men and women do not experience any of these complications. You need to discuss these issues with Dr. Windle prior to your surgery to be sure you completely understand the basic risks along with any other special risks that may be involved.

At your initial consultation, Dr. Windle will evaluate your general health, examine your face, condition of your skin, your underlying bone structure, and explain the procedure to you along with the risks of the procedure. In addition, your doctor will give you different options based on your particular situation. After meeting with Dr. Windle, he will tell you what he thinks is a realistic expectation for your situation. Photographs will be taken and possible alterations can be made on the computer screen to give you an idea of what changes you can expect to see as a result of your facelift.

The recovery period following a face lift will consist of some numbness, swelling, and bruising in the face. Your drainage tubes will be removed 2-3 days after surgery when your drainage has slowed down. You will need to keep your head elevated for a couple of weeks. You will have some scars from your facelift but the majority will be hidden in your hair and the rest will be placed in the natural creases of your face and ears. In time, they will fade and be scarcely visible.

Breast Augmentation in Seattle Washington

You are in experienced hands. Prior to moving to Seattle WA, Dr. Windle spent 10 years at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland where he gained extensive experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery and was Chief of Plastic Surgery. He then spent 6 years in private practice where he was acclaimed as one of the country's top physicians before relocating to Seattle Washington.

One of the most popular cosmetic procedures, breast augmentation can produce a more desirable breast size and shape with a natural-looking appearance. Inflatable implants are inserted beneath each breast during the surgery. The type, size, and shape of the implant as well as the location of the initial incisions will be determined during your initial consultation. Although a number of different implant options are available at the present time, the implant that is used nearly universally is made of a silicone rubber shell, filled with a saline (salt-water) solution. The two options for implant shape are anatomical and round. The anatomical implant is narrower and taller, and projects further away from the body. Round implants are wider and less projecting.

Breast augmentation is a "same-day" procedure and generally takes 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hours. Generally, our patients return to work within a few days. Physical contact with the breasts can occur 3-4 weeks after the procedure. Complete healing of the scars will depend upon the individual.

Tummy Tuck In Michigan

Although the results of a tummy tuck are technically permanent, the positive outcome can be greatly diminished by significant fluctuations in your weight. For this reason, individuals who are planning substantial weight loss or women who may be considering future pregnancies may be advised to postpone a tummy tuck. Also, a tummy tuck cannot correct stretch marks, although these may be removed or somewhat improved if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised, generally those treated areas below the belly button.

The success and safety of your tummy tuck procedure depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. You’ll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle. The decision to have tummy tuck surgery is extremely personal and you’ll have to decide if the benefits will achieve your goals and if the risks and potential complications are acceptable.

Your plastic surgeon and/or staff will explain in detail the risks associated with surgery. You will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure that you fully understand the procedure you will undergo and any risks or potential complications. If your abdominoplasty is performed on an outpatient basis, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.
When choosing a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck, remember that the
surgeon’s experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.

Breast surgery in Michigan

Also known as augmentation mammaplasty, breast augmentation involves using implants to fulfill your desire for fuller breasts or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. Breast augmentation does not correct severely drooping breasts. If you want your breasts to look fuller and to be lifted due to sagging, a breast lift may be required in conjunction with breast augmentation. Breast lifting can often be done at the same time as your augmentation or may require a separate operation. Your plastic surgeon will assist you in making this decision.
The success and safety of your breast augmentation procedure depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. You’ll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle. Your plastic surgeon will also discuss where your procedure will be performed. Breast augmentation surgery may be performed in an accredited office-based surgical center, outpatient ambulatory surgical center or a hospital.
If your breast augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.

How to choose the right size implant for your breasts

Today there are many breast implants to choose from. Breast implant manufacturers have dedicated time to develop a wide variety of breast implants to choose from. Women interested in greater volume in the upper breast pole may achieve that goal, just women interested in greater volume in the lower pole of the breast. Women interested in greater breast projection may achieve such a goal as much as women interested in smaller breast projection.

Breast implants today are also customized to accommodate for chest width size. And the added dimension to better breast implant choices for women interested in breast augmentation is the Canfield Technology which may provide a more customized fit in the breast area for breast implants today. In addition, women may view simulated images of the results of a breast augmentation procedure in varying body positions. The infinite number of image choices through Canfield’s technology is expected to assist women in making better breast implant choices. This, in turn, may impact the reoperation rate in women that have had breast augmentation, but a desire to change breast implant size.

Plastic surgeons will also take digital photos or two-dimensional computer generated images that provide women interested in breast augmentation with an estimation of the appropriate breast implant size. Now, plastic surgeons may purchase the first ever three-dimensional breast imaging technology through Canfield Scientific, Inc.

Breast Augmentation with a Breast Lift

The breast augmentation breast lift combination procedure has become more commonly requested in recent years. The trick in the decision for the breast augmentation breast lift combination procedure is based on the anatomy of the breasts. Many women have the desire to increase breast size, but may not consider that adding weight to the breasts will produce a greater amount of sagging. For this reason, some breast augmentation candidates require a breast lift. Breast lift procedures address many types of changes that women may desire. The breast lift may be required to lift the breasts, create upper pole fullness in the top portion of the breasts and/or improve the appearance of asymmetrical breasts.

The breast lift is a procedure that may also be performed without a breast augmentation should breast size increase not be a factor in breast augmentation. Plastic surgeons may reposition existing breast tissue to enhance the appearance of breasts in a breast lift procedure. Repositioning of the breast tissue can create more upper pole fullness in the breasts, improve asymmetry and present an enhanced appearance in clothes.

Nose surgery in New Jersey

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.

What to expect when having a face lift

A face lift procedure will generally take several hours, although all surgeons will perform the procedure in his/her own way. The incisions will begin at the temples above the hairline, continue down in front of the ear, and continue behind the ear lobe and extend to the lower scalp. If the neck is part of the procedure, a small incision will be made under the chin.

Pain and discomfort may be a part of the recovery, but can be minimized through use of pain medication. It is normal for the skin to be numb for a few weeks to a month after the operation. Elevating your head and keeping it still for a few days after the procedure will help minimize swelling. The drain tube and bandages will generally be removed in one to five days, depending on recovery progress, and stitches will be removed after five days.

After the removal of the bandages, your face may still appear bruised and puffy; however, you will look normal within a few weeks. The scalp may take longer to heal, although most patients are back to work within about ten days of the surgery. After the third week after the procedure, you will look and feel much better.

While a face lift cannot stop or even slow down the aging process, it can set back the clock by cosmetically altering and adjusting the placement of the skin on your face and neck, as well as removing excess fat and tightening the muscles underneath the skin. If a face lift is performed, it may be accompanied by a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, nose reshaping, or other procedures.

Breast Augmentation for the older generation

Breast augmentation for women over thirty is quite popular. During the thirties, some women may notice stretching of the skin surrounding the breasts. Women in their thirties may notice breast droopiness. They may also notice other breast changes following pregnancy, weight gain or weight loss. The breast-to-under the breast ratio and breast-to-waist ratio becomes more important as well. As the first signs of age appear on the breasts, thirty something women may become more concerned about limiting the effects of aging on the breasts. The thirty something time frame tends to be one when women are also more dedicated to physical fitness and diet. So, why not consider breast augmentation to complement body contours? Contact your surgeon today for a consultation.

Breast Surgery in Salt Lake City

The breast reconstruction process may begin at the time of your mastectomy or weeks to years after-wards. Immediate reconstruction means that the procedure begins at the same time as the mastectomy. It is important to know that any type of surgical breast reconstruction may take several steps to complete. Delayed reconstruction may be advisable if your surgeon anticipates healing problems with your mastectomy, or if you just need more time to consider your options. There are medical, financial and emotional considerations to choosing immediate versus delayed reconstruction. I didn't realize there was so much to consider when having your breasts reconstructed... Looking for information and doing your homework on such surgeries is so important. Call for a consultation. Meeting with your prospective surgeon will help put your mind at ease.

Fancy Feet in Beverly Hills

Americans spend a great deal of time on their feet. As the Nation becomes more active across all age groups, the need for foot care will become increasingly important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Podiatrists treat corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, bunions, heel spurs, and arch problems; ankle and foot injuries, deformities, and infections; and foot complaints associated with diseases such as diabetes. To treat these problems, podiatrists prescribe drugs, order physical therapy, set fractures, and perform surgery.

About 20 percent of adults have flat feet. Flat feet don't cause disabilities or other problems as long as the foot is supple and the heel cord, or Achilles tendon, isn't tight. This is called flexible flat foot.

Plantar fasciitis and heel spur syndrome result from inflammation of the ligament like tissue (the fascia) that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to a point on the bottom of the heel bone. It is sometimes associated with a heel spur, in which case it is called "heel spur syndrome." The condition can usually be successfully treated with conservative measures such as use of anti-inflammatory mediations and ice packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy

Many of the procedures that Beverly Hills Physicians offer directly impact our patient's quality of health. You may be surprised to know that these procedures are often fully or partially covered by your insurance provider. Such procedures include our weight managment, dental, lasik as well as podiatry services.

Nose Surgery by Dr. Piro

Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.

When rhinoplasty is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, there is always a possibility of complications, including infection, nosebleed, or a reaction to the anesthesia. You can reduce your risks by closely following your surgeon's instructions both before and after surgery.

In the days following surgery, when your face is bruised and swollen, it's easy to forget that you will be looking better. In fact, many patients feel depressed for a while after plastic surgery-it's quite normal and understandable.

Still, healing is a slow and gradual process. Some subtle swelling may be present for months, especially in the tip. The final results of rhinoplasty may not be apparent for a year or more.

Dr. Piro’s Liposuction techniques

Fluid Injection, a technique in which a medicated solution is injected into fatty areas before the fat is removed, is commonly used by plastic surgeons today. The fluid — a mixture of intravenous salt solution, lidocaine (a local anesthetic) and epinephrine (a drug that contracts blood vessels) — helps the fat be removed more easily, reduces blood loss and provides anesthesia during and after surgery. Fluid injection also helps to reduce the amount of bruising after surgery.

Large volumes of fluid — sometimes as much as three times the amount of fat to be removed — are injected in the tumescent technique. Tumescent liposuction, typically performed on patients who need only a local anesthetic, usually takes significantly longer than traditional liposuction (sometimes as long as 4 to 5 hours). However, because the injected fluid contains an adequate amount of anesthetic, additional anesthesia may not be necessary.

The super-wet technique is similar to the tumescent technique, except that lesser amounts of fluid are used. Usually the amount of fluid injected is equal to the amount of fat to be removed. This technique often requires IV sedation or general anesthesia and typically takes one to two hours of surgery time.

Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL). This technique requires the use of a special cannula that produces ultrasonic energy. As it passes through the areas of fat, the energy explodes the walls of the fat cells, liquefying the fat. The fat is then removed with the traditional liposuction technique.

Liposuction in California by Dr. Frank Piro

Liposuction is recommended for patients who have excess subcutaneous fat, which is resistant to diet and exercise. If you wish to change the contours of your body. Commonly involved areas are the anterior part of the neck (under the chin), upper arms and armpits, male chest/breasts, trunk, abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, inner knees, calves, and ankles. Most patients are near normal weight and desire permanent contour changes.
Liposuction provides a permanent improvement in the contour and proportion of the treated areas. Creating a more flattering figure or physique, in or out of clothing. This procedure is done on an outpatient basis. General anesthesia is usually used for safety and comfort.

The best candidates for liposuction are normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. You should be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in your expectations. Your age is not a major consideration; however, older patients may have diminished skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin.

If your expectations are realistic, you will probably be very pleased with the results of your surgery. You may find that you are more comfortable in a wide variety of clothes and more at ease with your body. And, by eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, you can help to maintain your new shape.

Facial Surgery in California

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.

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.
