Quick-Recovery Face Lift in Los Angeles, California

Medical science strides forward daily, and the improvements to procedures and outcomes continue to amaze. Just when you get used to the idea that your facial skin and muscles can be tightened for a more youthful appearance, they find a way to cut down the recovery time for your facelift. According to Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Doctor Francis Palmer, "when the proper facial aesthetics are followed, the incisions [and] the tissue dissection can be limited which in turn means there will be smaller scars, less bruising and swelling and a shorter recovery time. This is the idea behind the creation of our 'Celebrity Lift™' that can make you look 10 years younger in less than 90 minutes with a recovery time that’s measured in hours, not weeks." The key, says Dr. Palmer, "is addressing the central portion of the face, the cheeks. The nasolabial folds are reduced and the cheeks are properly shaped using cheek implants or fillers like Radiesse or Perlane."

Certainly this should appeal to socialites, celebrities, business persons; really, to anyone who wants to look younger and doesn't have the luxury of spending a month or two out of sight while recovering. An added benefit Dr. Palmer points out is that, given reduced tissue dissection, "smokers and those with a long history of smoking may still be a candidate for this powerful, yet minimal incision facelift and necklift."

New Boobs and A New Lease on Life

I recently read a story online about a woman in her late 20's who had dealt with breasts that were "almost non-existent". This woman also had a scalp condition that caused a bit of hair loss and therefore she could never grow long hair. The story described the emotional issues this woman dealt with her entire teenage and young adult life, being mistaken for a male and a general lack of attention from the opposite sex- All of this generated emotional issues such as self esteem problems, embarrassment and a general lack of confidence in herself- I felt bad for this woman. I too know how it is feel "discluded" from normal life and activities, dating etc, as I have dealt with being overweight and also one who never fit in with the media-fueled notions of what is "sexy".

The story then explained how this woman, on a friend's advice had decided to go consult with a plastic surgeon in Honolulu, Hawaii. After talking with the surgeon, and seeing before and after photos, the woman decided to have breast implant surgery with hopes that she could "finally live a normal life, attract a husband and finally be happy".

At the end of the story, this woman had experienced a transformation, not only physically with her breast size, but noted that almost immediately after the initial recovery she felt a "new found sense of self esteem- I felt much better looking into the mirror and seeing my clothing fit like it should- I knew this was going to have a hugely positive impact on my life".

The woman stated" men were finally paying attention to her, and she was no longer embarrassed to hit the beach showing off her new cleavage and liking that fact that "for once all eyes were on me as I strutted down the beach. The breast augmentation surgery has done wonders- I feel more confident in my daily life and feel like I can do anything". Check out her results for yourself....

Treat Hanging Skin on the Face with a Facelift

A facelift can be used to treat problem areas around the face such as jowls and hanging skin. The goal is to make you look ten to fifteen years younger without changing your overall appearance. In order to maintain a natural look, some doctors prefer to use endoscopic techniques that limit incision size and visibility.

Facelifts are often combined with a brow lift to create better harmony of the facial structures. For the same reason, laser resurfacing is often offered to reduce fine wrinkles around the mouth; a facelift corrects sagging and deep wrinkles.

For several days after surgery, you may experience tightness of the neck, numbness of the skin, and swelling. Home care, which we can help you arrange, is often recommended after surgery.

Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) Procedures in Seattle

Some people are born with prominent ears that tend to stick out from the side of their head. Many times this occurs because the folds in the cartilage of the ear have just not developed. This surgery is performed to correct the asymmetry. Many adults wear their hair long to cover up prominent ears. Many women refuse to wear their hair up because of prominent ears.

This surgery takes approximately one hour to perform. The technique used is typically an incision approximately 1 1/2 inches long in the crease behind the ear where the cartilage is exposed. The fold is re-created, if needed, and the cartilage is secured to the back of the head. Precise measurements are taken so both ears protrude from the side of the head approximately 12-15 mm after the surgery. Both permanent and dissolvable sutures are used to help maintain the new shape of the ear. The dissolvable sutures fall out about a week after surgery.
