Many women consider improving the appearence of their buttocks and thighs. Unfortunately treatment options are limited and include surgery and fat transfer with BBB which can have significant risks and downtime.
Another less invasive option is to tighten the skin with either Ultrasound or Radiofrequency (Ultherapy, Thermage, Thermi, Venus Viva and more) and achieve augmentation and projection with fillers such as Sculptra. SCulptra for example can last up to 5 years.
The non surgical approach is safer and less invasive than fat grafting and BBB.
On the other hand treatment results are more modest and not every one is a candidate.
If you don't want surgery ask your Dermatologist about non surgical options with fillers, lasers and Ultrasounds such as Ultherapy and Thermage CPT.

Before considering a breast lift or tummy tuck you should discuss possible scarring challenges such as the appearence of hypertrophic scars or even keloids with your surgeon.
Some patients have a predisposition to develop thick or discolored scars.
If that happens you should consult with a Dermatologist and plan a series of small laser treatments to remove these scars.
We have 32 different laser and light sources and can put an individualized plan together for you.
Red and pink scars are treated with Diolite laser, IPL, or V beam.
Thick scars are injected with Kenelog 2.5mg and Kenelog 5.0 mg
Wide scars are sometimes revised
Thickened and discolored scars can also br treated with Mixto Fractional Co2 laser, Cooltouch CT3 laserr and Clear and Brillinat laser.

One of the first place to see aging is in the skin around the yes.
Upper eyelids become loose and cause hooding.
The fat pads in the lower eyelid start to bulge out and become unsightly.
If you are not ready for surgery we can improve all these issues with
lasers, fillers and Radiofrequency devices and without the need for cuting surgery.
Please call us for a complimentary consultation

Lifting a face is an art. If you pull the skin too much it can stretch back over time and cause white unsightly scars. If you pull the skin in the wrong direction it can cause pleating and irregular folds that don’t look natural. If you don’t put multiple level of sutures and tighten the underlying structure such as the muscle and SMAS everything will unravel over a short period of time and the result is ruined.
If you have unsightly scars from face and neck lift, body lifts and more we can put a comprehensive plan together to improve the scars without cutting surgery.

Category : Facelift / Tuliplift
Tuesday, April 2. 2019
Many patients and physicians are quite surprised to hear that a cutting / surgical facelift can be performed completely under local anesthesia. I have been practicing Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery since 1999. During this time I have performed hundreds of face, neck, eyelid, and body surgeries under local anesthesia. Mild sedation with oral valium and an injection of a pain killer (such as Demerol ) is all that is ever needed.
I have developed a procedure that involves the removal of excess skin AND tightening of the muscle (fascia and SMAS plication) that can be performed under local anesthesia. Some patients decide against having a facelift because of the risks associated with general anesthesia. Our trademarked Tuliplift procedure is performed without general anesthesia.
Here are the steps involved:
The skin is prepped in a sterile fashion in our operating room.
A dilute solutioon of numbing called "Klein Solution" is injected into the neck and face are
Excess fat is gently suctioned by hand (not a machine)
excess skin is marked off and removed from in front of the ears and behind the ears
SMAS / facial Muscle is tightened using permanent and dissolvable sutures
Skin is gently re-draped and sutured with dissolvable and semi-permanent sutures
sutures are removed 7-10 days later
2 weeks later the scars are reduced using Mixto fraction resurfacing
cost $15000-$25000

Occasionally Doctors go over board and put too much filler or the wrong type of fillers into the lips or face.
Most fillers can be safely removed.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be removed with small injetions of Kenelog.
If kenelog doesn't work "Hyaluronidase" can be judiciously injected to remove most or all of the filler.
To avoid scarring and infections look for a board certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeron
Cost $500-$750

As we get older the skin loses its elasticity. Sun damage and weight fluctuations also contribute to thinning of the skin and sagging. Venus Viva nano-fractional Radiofrequency and Micro-needling is a new device that has been very effective in lifting the skin and removing fine lines and promoting Collagen synthesis. I often combine this procedure with a filler such as Sculptra for volume repletion.

In nature symmetry is perceived as being Beautiful. As we age the different sides of our faces age at different rates. Sun damage takes a larger tole on the driving side. Chewing strongly on one side of the mouth changes the muscle and bone structure on that side of the mouth. Sleeping preferably on one side also causes more laxity and damage. All of these changes together with the aging process of the skin and Collagen leads to irregular sagging and asymmetry.
Here is an example of laser and filler and non surgical face and neck lift. Please see us for a complimentary appointment www.foreveryoung.net 323 653 7700
A Surgeon with a trained eye can tighten and lift the skin and restore symmetry. This can be done with or without cutting Surgery. #foreveryoung #laser #ulthera #thermage #mixto #co2laser #wow

OK; this morning I want to talk to you about a condition called “post inflammatory hyperpigmentation” (PIH)
Our bodies are basically over 3 billion years old and have developed various mechanisms to protect themselves against the outside environment. If you have darker skin complexion you are much more likely to develop brown spots and hyperpigmentation after any kind of trauma such as acne, picking, burning, or just scratching the skin. This dark pigmentation can also occur with various lasers and Micro needling or even after sunburn, allergies, or chemical peels. The skin is simply protecting itself against the trauma by becoming darker.
Treating these dark spots is quite challenging. Without treatment they may go away after a few weeks or it may take many months for them to gradually disappear.
Too aggressive treatments can actually exacerbate the problem and cause more brown spots. Treatment: We start conservative by applying topical fading lotions, prescription grade vitamin A cream, Vitamin C cream and glycolic and kojic acid. If this doesn’t work we do light chemical peels and Microderm abrasion‘s.
Ultimately light laser treatments that are specifically geared towards removing pigmentation such as clear and brilliant laser and mixto fractional CO2 resurfacing can be used to even the skin complexion.
It is also important to break the cycle and prevent new brown spots from occurring while you are getting rid of the old spots.
See your dermatologist and allow him or her to put a program together for you to remove these brown spots and make 2019 a year with a perfect clear complexion.
