Dealing With Finances For A Mommy Makeover:

According to the President of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons [ASPS] which is a recognized board of professional plastic surgeons, the increase in the age for childbirth and the swiftness with which mothers are returning to their careers has led to a rise in the mommy makeover procedure.

There was a 11 percent rise for this procedure since 2005 according to statistics collected by the board. The cost of this particular plastic surgery procedure, it seems, is no deterrent for mother’s looking for a re-vamped body.

A mommy makeover is usually a combination of three main procedures: abdominoplasty, liposuction and breast augmentation. At times, women opt in for additional surgeries like buttock augmentation and neck liposuction as well. It all depends on the desired results.

This combination of such major cosmetic procedures is the main reason why a mommy makeover is a considerably costly treatment. They usually fall in the price range of $5,000 to $20,000 and more according to the procedures that are used.

However, at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California in Beverly Hills, we have attractive mommy makeover packages that are guaranteed to make you feel extra special. Our combination cosmetic surgery procedures come at a special discount and bear in mind the budget of the mother.

Luscious Curves:

Womanly curves have long been associated with exotic feminine beauty; exotic, largely being synonymous with women of Latin, African, south Asian and Mediterranean stock. Women from these parts of the world have a bloodline that defines the term ‘luscious’ itself.

But then again, there are exotic pockets of the world where women are slight and slender and have less curves to fill out the body. You will come across such petite-bodied women largely in China, Japan, Korea and other areas of east and south-east Asia.

To make up for the lack of curves among these ethnic groups, plastic surgery has a lot of wonderful solutions. There are mommy makeovers available that are especially suited for ethnic women. These makeovers include buttock enlargement, breast augmentation, hip surgery, cheek implants and a lot of other cosmetic procedures are available today to get the dream body.

Cosmetic surgery involving augmentation through implants of any kind is popular among these ethnic groups. But if you belong to that group of women looking to go under the knife for increasing the body as opposed to the usual reduction, then there are certain important factors that you have to bear in mind.

At times, the bone structure of a slender body cannot support a heavy frame which usually comes along with implants. Therefore it is wise to establish which cosmetic procedure is right for you with the help of your plastic surgeon. There are cases reported where women were not satisfied with the outcome of the cosmetic surgery.

Education and intensive research on the plastic surgery options available for minority groups is the best route to take if a healthy, well-sculpted body is desired.

Getting Rid Of The Double Chin:

Once puberty hits a person, the various parts of her body are engaged in a never-ending battle with age. To make things worse, women tend to put on weight quicker than men. Wrinkles, when combined with fat are sure-fire youth busters.

While wrinkles attack the face more than any other part of the body, fat settles in wherever it can. The thighs, tummy, buttocks, calves, jowls, neck, hips and even the arms are common areas where fat gets deposited.

When fat settles in the area between the chin and the neck it results in a double chin. But besides body fat, body anatomy and time are also factors that cause a double chin. Slender-built people too are known to suffer from this condition. For them a double chin is usually the result of a variation in the jaw and throat shape. A less defined angle between the jaw and the throat results on a neck that sags with flab.

There are patients who attempt to correct a double chin with exercises; but fat cannot be reduced with exercises. A more permanent solution is the double chin surgery which makes use of a liposuction technique for getting rid of fat excess fat.

The tumescent liposuction surgery allows the plastic surgeon to make small incisions that are strategically placed in the double chin. Besides scraping off excess fat, this surgery also tightens the neck muscles resulting in a more definite jaw line.

Wink Your Eyes Men, You’re Young Again:

It’s a harsh world out there for men. Rough games and tough lifestyles, a man has no other option then to buckle up and grin it out. They are the solid oaks that tower over the lissome beeches.

But even solid oaks can look stately when molded into chairs fit to seat royalty. The grooves can be smoothed out and lines can be glossed over. The master carpenter however has to take care that the chair is not too slender and delicate.

The master carpenters of plastic surgery, the plastic surgeons can work their skill over men’s bodies splendidly, keeping in mind their temperaments. In the male body, grooves and lines crop up on the forehead and around the eyes.

This is one of the main reasons why eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty ranks as one of the top three plastic surgeries that men veer towards; especially in the U.S. This surgery can do away with baggy eyelids that may be inherited or might crop up with age.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, blepharoplasty procedures are carried out under expert supervision. Our plastic surgeons understand the body anatomy of a male and know that is different from a female body and that it needs to be worked upon in a different manner.

The Rhytidectomy Surgery:

As this is a major cosmetic procedure, a rhytidectomy or a facelift takes several hours or more. Sometimes, a surgeon requires a patient to schedule two separate sessions. But this is the case if there is any extra plastic surgery required to be done on the facial area.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, professional plastic surgeons meticulously examine the facial and bone structure before performing a rhytidectomy. Depending on the facial structure and the surgeon’s operating technique, the incisions are made.

The incisions are made at points that can be easily covered by the hair or by any other facial feature. The incisions usually start from above the hairline at the temples.

The facial skin is then lifted away from the underlying fat and muscles. Depending on the facial shape that is required the fat is trimmed and the muscles and membrane are tightened. The plastic surgeon then closes the incisions with stitches and if required, metal clips are used.

A rhytidectomy has to be executed in a very intricate manner and the plastic surgeons at PSI have a deep understanding of this procedure. They are well-trained and have a finely honed sense of aesthetics.

A patient’s face is the canvas on which the PSI plastic surgeons work out the fine art of cosmetic surgery. Working in close consultation with the patient they create faces that hold time in thrall.

Plumping Up Your Pucker:

There are those who swear by the authenticity of Hollywood goddess Angelina Jolie’s luscious lips. Bee-stung lips became all the rage when she shot to the upper legions of Hollywood actors with movies like ‘Tomb Raider’ and ‘Original Sin’. Brittany Murphy, of ‘Just Married’ fame, is the latest fan of the bee-stung lip look with her [seemingly] enhanced lips.

Whether these celebrities have actually had their lips enhanced or not we might never know. But for the men and women looking for lips that are similar to their favorite celebrity, lip augmentation treatments are the best that cosmetic surgery has to offer.

There are two things that plastic surgeons can do to plump up and accentuate lips. They can either use injectables or they can use implants.

Among the injectable options that are available there are synthetic materials like Artecoll and organic materials like Autologen, Collagen, Dermalogen, Fascia, fat, HylaForm and Restylane which surgeons can use for augmenting a patient’s lips.

From among the implants that plastic surgeons use are materials like Alloderm, Gore-Tex, SoftForm, soft ePTFE and local flap and fat grafts.

Both injectables and implants come with their own set of pros and cons and hence it is best to consult your doctor which is the treatment best suited for you. For instance, certain synthetic injectables have a chance of resulting in an infection, but are preferred to organic fillers like fat which the body will absorb in a few months.

Lip augmentation can produce marvelous results, but in the end you are the one who has to live with a changed body. If you have a slight body and facial structure, then it is not advisable to go in for a lip augmentation that will give you full-blown lips.

Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California in Orange County, California for an honest consultation on lip augmentation and other surgeries to enhance your facial appearance.

Lasers For Eyelid Surgery:

The fragile nature of the eye and the area surrounding it makes it a very delicate area to perform any kind of surgery. Surgeons and optometrists alike are constantly on the look-out for any kind of procedure that is capable of minimizing the risks associated with an operation concerning the eye.

A recent innovation in eyelid surgery is the use of the CO2 laser treatment which claims to be a very safe option to a traditional blepharoplasty procedure.

A plastic surgery is the mind’s paean to a better body. Cosmetic surgery is the preferred route for a healthy self-esteem for thousands of men and women. Discoveries like these help in diminishing the uncertainty factor associated with surgery of any kind.

Adapting lasers for operational reasons is still in the developmental stages and the full power of these rays of light is yet to be comprehended completely. Till then plastic surgery can only develop and utilize cosmetic procedures that currently exist to provide solutions for patients wanting a better body.

Cleaning Your [Botched] Nose:

Botched noses, they can be worse than odd-shaped noses. While there are a lot of plastic surgeons who perform rhinoplasty, there are very few surgeons who approach a rhinoplasty procedure with an experienced outlook. The latter group is more often than not the surgeons who usually end up fixing badly done nose jobs.

From the total number of rhinoplasty procedures performed in the United States, about 17 percent account for a revision rhinoplasty procedure. Most of these procedures require minor surgery, but a badly executed rhinoplasty can warrant extensive surgical repair.

Scars and surgical marks too are some of the reasons patients go in for a revision rhinoplasty. And then again there are star-struck patients who come clutching their favorite idol’s photograph seeking the help of a plastic surgeon. Revision rhinoplasty is also considered by patients who are looking for a particular look for their new nose.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, professional rhinoplasty surgeons carefully assess the damage wrought upon a patient’s nose by any previous surgery. Pictures showing how the nose originally looked are closely studied and the desired outcome is taken into account.

There are some botched nose jobs that cannot be corrected, and working on them is bound to increase the damage. Our cosmetic surgeons are completely honest if this is the situation. They provide a patient with unbiased opinions and suggestions to correct surgeries gone wrong and skillfully work to avoid further damage.

Reduce Recovery Time With Mommy Makeovers:

The good thing about a mommy makeover is its comprehensive nature. The multiple surgeries that are commonly included in a mommy makeover include a breast augmentation procedure, liposuction treatment and a tummy tuck. Since they are performed all at once, the recovery time for a mommy makeover is a one time occurrence for a patient.

If the above surgeries are performed separately, they would result in different recovery periods. For instance, some patients take four weeks to fully recuperate from a tummy tuck procedure while some can get back in action in about two weeks.

Doctors however do not recommend a patient getting another surgery close on the heels of one surgery. Hence, for undergoing a surgery like liposuction, the patient will have to wait till her body is completely healed.

Recovering from a liposuction treatment again can involve a lot of time. Sometimes the swelling does not die down for six months after the surgery. By then the mum is still battling with a changing body.

In view of such surgical problems, a mommy makeover is the best option that mothers have. Multiple pregnancies can result in a lot of physical deformities, and the last thing a woman wants is an addition to her post-partum blues.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, there are experienced plastic surgeons who know how to sculpt a woman’s body back in shape after a pregnancy. Stretch marks, bulging stomachs, fattening thighs, heavy breasts, etc. can all be considerably reduced. A careful selection of cosmetic surgery procedures ensures the return of a woman’s body back to normal.

The Mini Abdominoplasty:

The mini tuck is a popular option for women looking to re-shape their body post pregnancy as it remedies lax lower abdominal muscles. The post pregnancy bulge can be effectively removed with a mini abdominoplasty.

The incisions used for this type of abdominoplasty are smaller than the ones made in the traditional tummy tuck. As a result the scars of a mini tuck are less visible. The recovery period is also quicker.

A mini abdominoplasty exclusively corrects problems that occur in the lower abdomen area [reaches till the pubic area]. It can also remove excess skin besides tightening the muscles of the lower abdomen. It is unable to address deformities in the upper abdomen.

When used in conjunction with a liposuction, it can also help a patient get rid of fat above the umbilicus. There are quite a few obese patients who prefer this procedure to a regular liposuction or abdominoplasty.

If a patient suffers from conditions that warrant a traditional abdominoplasty, then a mini abdominoplasty is not much of a help. For removing a large amount of excess skin a standard abdominoplasty is what our doctors recommend.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, we offer plastic surgery procedures like liposuction, tummy tucks and other related procedures like a mini abdominoplasty. Our facilities are fully equipped and board certified doctors are available for consultation and advice on each aspect of your problem from finance to post-surgery care.
