Nip This Tuck That

Beverly Hills Face Lifts offer the latest technological advances with the highest possible aesthetic vision (like our Celebrity Lift) in order to create a natural, youthfully restored beauty. Avoid the awful pulled look that seems so prevelant in Celebrity Plastic Surgery mishaps all over the media….come to Beverly Hills for your Face Lift procedure and have a top plastic and cosmetic surgeon perform your Face Lift.

Why have a old version of a facelift with large incisions, more bruising, swelling, discomfort and recovery time than you could have with our “Celebrity Lift” Face Lift Surgery that was featured on ABC’s “The View”.

Los Angeles Face Lift Procedures should reflect the Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon’s aesthetic vision on how to make your face and neck appear more naturally youthful and attractive. The “wind-swept”, “pulled” or more recently the horrid “joker look” should, in my opinion, be avoided at all costs as these are not attractive looks and they SCREAM that you’ve had a Face Lift and a bad one at that.

The top, the very best Face Lift Surgeons here in Los Angeles understand that there is an art to making people more naturally attractive and there is no way to deny the influence of Hollywood stars and celebrities have on the way we shape and make you look beautiful. While, it’s certainly true that not all celebrities look beautiful, or even good, after their plastic and cosmetic surgery…there certainly are many more that do look more attractive after their Face Lifts.
So what’s the difference in these outcomes? The Face Lift must be performed to aesthetically enhance the shape of your face in a feminine manner, for women and in a masculine manner for men. That’s the single most important factor influencing how good you’ll look after your Face Lift. Trouble is, many patients and surgeons do not have the proper aesthetic training and judgement to accomplish this goal and hence the disasters you see and read about occur.
What can you do about it? Read my simple 4-step guide on how to choose your plastic and cosmetic surgeon and read my new book “what’s Your Number”…the palmer code so that you learn what will and will not make you more attractive. Empower yourself with the knowledge required to get the improvement you are seeking.

Costs of Rhinoplasty, Nasal Surgery, In Los Angeles vary based on the experience of your Rhinoplasty Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon and the amount of work that your nose requires during the Rhinoplasty. In general terms, an open Rhinoplasty costs more than a closed as it requires more surgery time and effort to perform. In addition, adding osteotomies (breaking the bone) onlay grafts of cartilage from the ear and more involved nasal tip narrowing techniques will increase the difficulty of your Rhinoplasty and therefore the cost.

In addition to your surgical fee, there will be a fee for Anesthesia (for the anesthetist or anesthesiologist that puts you to sleep and monitors your vital signs throughout the surgery) and for the operating room.

An average Rhinoplasty cost in Los Angeles starts at about $7,500 for a primary closed Rhinoplasty and can approach $20,000 or more for complicated Revision Rhinoplasty cases.

There was a large article in todays’ Wall Street Journal about the dangers of having Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery and other elective surgical procedures in non-accredited office/surgery centers. It’s true that you should be aware of the environment in which your plastic and cosmetic procedure will take place.

California, New York, Texas and I believe Florida have existing regulations that all out patient surgical facilities must be accredited. Our Beverly Hills surgery center has such an accreditation and has for many years…but in other states this is voluntary and certainly in other countries the rules may be quite different. So, what’s the big deal you ask. Here are some of the most important points regarding the subject:

1. There are certain anesthesia criteria that require a well-trained anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist administer your anesthesia. Without this rule, your anesthesia maybe administered by an office nurse or the surgeon himself….
2. The proper resusitation equipment is required with accreditation that otherwise may or may not be available.
3. Accreditation is another way to make sute that the doctor is trained and experienced in the procedure that you are going to have. With economic pressures today, there are dentists, oral surgeons, gynecologists and all forms of doctors performing plastic and cosmetic surgery…so you may want an outside agency deciding who is and who isn’t tained to do your procedure.

So the next time you’re considering a plastic and cosmetic surgery procedure and you don’t live in a state with mandatory accreditation of outpatient surgery centers, come to Beverly Hills where you can be confident and secure that your surgery will be performed in an accredited facility.

At the end of the day why do people have Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery? To improve their appearance and in a fair number of those cases…this means to look more youthful as well as attractive. There are several things to consider and several steps, that you can take, to ensure this is the result that you get from your Rhinoplasty, Face Lift, Eyelid Surgery, Browlift, Breast Implants, Fuller Lips, Cheek Implants, Chin Implant, Tummy Tuck or Liposuction. Celebrities that look more attractive and radiant understand these important points

First things to consider:
1. Avoid generic type procedures sold by corporations and businessmen to any doctor and surgeon willing to pay the fee in order to use the procedure name. We’ve all seen the ads on TV and magazine for these types of procedures…be aware that they will be performed by a whole host of different doctors and surgeons with varying degrees of training, experience and ability.

2. Avoid technological advances that are devoid of real science behind the claims. Remember it’s easy to make promises…quite another to deliver real results. That’s why experience and training are key.

3. You get what you pay for. Spend some time reading the posts on this blog to see people who could have made better choices by not placing costs ahead of results, experience and training of their surgeon. You will not get the best quality plastic and cosmetic surgeons to do your plastic surgery at bargain basement prices.

Steps to take for a more attractive you:

1. At any age consider improving the shape of your face. Cheeks, chin and jawline (primarily in men) can be augmented and accentuated to make female faces more fiminine and male faces more ruggedly handsome. This should be the primary focus of your efforts as it yields the most rewards.

2. Rhinoplasty can shape the nose to make it more sleek and unaware. Just be careful not to assign more aesthetic importance to your nose than it really has… Learn more by reading my new book on the subject “What’s Your Number”…the palmer code.

3. Face Lifts are to remove excess skin and tighten the underlying muscles…they can’t create or place shape into the face….this requires experience using step 1 above. Having said that, look for sophisticated versions (like our Celebrity Lift that has much smaller incisions, limited dissection and rapid recovery), not like older traditional versions that take hours to perform and weeks, or months to heal.

4. Breast Implants remain popular with women looking to improve the size and or shape of the breasts….Saline or Silicone implants.

5. Eyelid surgery can remove the tired look from your eyes…in less than 1 hour.

6. Tummy Tuck and Liposuction can be used to flaten the stomach area and re-shape the body by removing excess body fat.

This Summer here in our Beverly Hills office, Rhinoplasty, Face Lifts (our Celebrity Lift which is a quicker, less invasive Face Lift), Breast Implants and of course facial implants (Cheeks and Chin).

Rhinoplasty , especially out of stae and country clients from Europe, Asia and the Middle East continue to seek both primary and Revision Rhinoplasty as well as Face Lift procedures. Our Celebrity Lift continues to amaze as people want a quick, easy recovery which this minimal incision Face and Neck Lift offers. Most patients fly home days after the procedure…instead of the weeks they had to wait after a traditional Face Lift.

As the weather warms up, women’s thoughts go to the size and shape of their breasts and Breast Augmentation and Enhancement with Implants gains popularity. When combined with crescent lifts, the breasts can be lifted as well as more shapely.

Radiesse, Perlane or Cheek and Chin Implants can all be used to augment the Cheeks, Chin and Jawline for an improved facial shape…which as you know is the most important aspect of facial improvement…as outlined in my new book “What’s Your Number….the palmer code”.
