Nip This Tuck That

 The Cheeks can be augmented and their shape imroved aesthetically by using Cheek Implants ( I prefer soft silastic ones…no screws or fixation sutures) or with various materials that are injected into the skin over the cheek area.  Of the latter, I like Radiesse or Perlane because I have found it to highly predictable and effective in allowing me to shape the cheeks.  I also use Radiesse to shape the chin and jawline. 

A few days ago a patient came from Dubai and mentioned that I was referred in Dubai as “the guy who does Radiesse to shape the face”.  I found this flattering that I would be so regarded in a city that I have never visited.  I felt compelled to mention that I like Radiesse because it works in my hands and accomplishes what I want to d aesthetically on the face…and that’s to make a male face more angular and ruggedly handsome while making a female face soft, feminine and youthful in appearance.  I have no financial stock in the company that makes or markets radiesse…although they should at the very least thank mean for all the free advertising I do for their product…including an appearance on ABC’s “The View” where I had a Radiesse patient as well as my new “Celebrity Face Lift”….but that’s another story.  Rdaiesse works and in my opinion works quite well but so does perlane and Botox and restylane and i endorse all of those products as well.

In my almost 20 years of performing plastic and cosmetic surgery here in beverly Hills and London, I have always strived to get the very best and most out of every plastic surgeical procedure: Face Lift, Breast Augmentation, Rhinoplasty, Blepharoplasty, Tummy Tuck, Lip Augmentation, Liposuction, Cheek Augmentation, Chin Implant Surgery, Browlift, Otoplasty…whatever instead of accepting whatever limitations those procedures had to offer.  The same can be said about the soft tissue fillers like radiesse, perlane and Even Botox.  I embrace the ones that I believe work and I don’t use or endorse the ones I think don’t work or have unwanted complications….silicone, artecol just to mention two.  That’s how all top, best, plastic and cosmetic surgeons should feel whether you are a celebrity having plastic surgery or just one of we mere mortals.  This is my opinion and other plastic and cosmetic surgeons may have another opinion.

I recently had Dr. Palmer do some work on my nose and I couldn’t have been happier about the result. I have never really been happy with my nose. There were several things that bothered me when I would see pictures of myself or as an actor on film. But I was too embarrassed with the idea of doing something about it and also didn’t want to drastically change my appearance.  My girlfriend who is the only person I told about it said look it’s your face if you do this you should find the best. We live in Los Angeles I am sure in Beverly hills are some of the best Plastic Surgeons in the world, you should find one. Its your face and you should get the best even if it costs a little more. After doing research I came across Dr. Palmer. I liked what he said about doing less and making smaller changes…and sculpting to your face. I met with him and he said he wouldn’t shave the bone and rather just would tighten and raise the tip. It would make my nose a little straighter and have a less round and hooked tip. And also would be a less intensive procedure than the other doctor recommended. He said it would do what I wanted but would be subtle and he bet me that no one but me would notice. he said that people would just notice that I looked better. I was nervous but he was so right. In my case I had no scars a small bandage which i got off four days later. No one has noticed but like he said I have gotten many compliments about how good I look. Most importantly I have noticed and am so happy with the result. I still look like me but just better. The things that have always bothered me were lessened. I really couldn’t recommend Dr. Palmer more. I looked for the best and feel like I found him. And beyond just the result, the process couldn’t have been better. Robyn and Andi in the office have been awesome from scheduling and being available and answering all my annoying questions before and after. I am greatly and truly thankful to Dr. Palmer and his staff for their work and the results. I feel better about myself. The work which is so natural and subtle that no one but my girlfriend and I even know that I did this…which is just what I wanted.  Thank you.

Beverly Hills, more so that Jio De Jeneiro or any other location in the world, has maintained the title of “Plastic Surgery Capital” and is the pinancle of aesthetic medicine.  Aesthetic medicine I define as the business of making people more attractive and business is booming in this multi-billion dollar industry.  In the US alone, last year, over 30 million aesthetic procedures (including plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery and non-invasive procedures) were performed by plastic surgeons, cosmetic surgeons, aesthetic dermatologists and opthalmologists across the United States.  In all cases, Beverly Hills, in my humle opinion leads the way because we are also the celebrity and entertainment capital of the world.  Our celebrities and stars look gorgeous and it’s no secret that more than a few have had some plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery or aesthetic medical procedures to enhance their appearance. 

 But the secret is now out to the rest of the world and coupled with the weak dollar against other world currencies, we are seeing a massive influx of plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery and aesthetic medical procedures from out of country as part of increased tourism.  Our practice has always been international with my practice in London for over 7 years while here in Beverly Hills but in the past 2 years the number of out of country clients from Japan, Singapore, China, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Russia are all on the upswing as they take advantage of the expertise of Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery and the exchange rate with the dollar.  In my opinion, Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeons are the best trained plastic surgeons in the world, bar none…so if you can come to beverly Hills for the best plastic and cosmetic surgery and you can get it for less because of a weak dollar…it’s a no brainer.  Eyelifts, facelifts, Neck lifts, Rhinoplasty, Breast Augmentation, Cheek Augmentation with Implants, Chin Augmentation with Implants, Lip Augmentation, Hair Transplants, Otoplasty, Liposuction, Tummy Tucks, Browlift, Botox, Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, Radiesse, Chemical Pells, Skin Care and IPL treatments…there’ll all here and the international community is taking advantage of this opportunity to get Beverly Hills quality.  If the best is here, why would anyone go anywhere else?
