Nip This Tuck That

Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery “Beauty Tip of the Day” from Dr. Francis R Palmer, III, Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon.  ” Advances in Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery are coming rapidly….the latest is the amount of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Procedures that I am performing under loacl anesthesia.  What’s this mean?  It means that the Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery procedure is performed without a general anesthetic.  You are awake and comfortable.  Better still, there’s no post-anesthesia hangover and drugs to be removed from your body as in a typical general anesthetic.

I perform the following Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery cases under local anesthesia when appropriate:  (when the patient wants a rapid recovery and little or no downtime):

 Celebrity Lift:  Can make you look 10 years younger in 90 minutes or less with almost no downtime.  Dissolveable stitches…featured on “The View”

 Blepharoplasty: Eyelift of the upper and/or lower eyelids.  Get that refreshed look.

 Chin Augmentation: Yes, I recently used a local to place a chin implant and the patient said she felt no pain, so I’m now adding this procedure to the list.

 Geometric Necklift:  Why have a huge incision when a small one under the chin can do the trick.  There are many advantages of this procedure versus a more involved/extensive formal necklift.

Lip Augmentation with Alloder:  To plump and fill out the lips..lasts up to 7 years and is soft and natural in appearrance.

 Facial Contouring:  If you’ve read my “Palmer Beauty Principles” and my “What’s Your Number” concept…you know that the face is only as good as the shape of the underlying facial skeleton.  This means the cheeks, chin and jawline.  Until recently, if you wanted to improve these areas, you had to have facial implants.  Not anymore!  Radiesse, recently approved by the FDA for facial augmentation…is a great product that can be injected as an office procedure and be used to augment and shape the cheeks, chin and jawline.  the material lasts 18-36 months and the procedure can be enhanced or repeated as needed.
