I’ve been doing lots of Rhinoplasty lately which always includes open Rhinoplasty with cartilage ear grafts to re-shape the nasal tip and even some silicone straight grafts to build up the nasal bridge. The later is very popular in non-caucasian Rhinoplasty as a way of increasing the height of the nasal bridge.

Botox ( http://www.drfpalmer.com/botox-injections.html ) and Botox Injections were in the news today!

This is no different than any other Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery […]
Millions…somewhere around 5 million of Botox Injections…Botox Treatments ( http://www.drfpalmer.com/botox-injections.html ) were performed in the US alone last year. Tens of millions of Botox treatments and injections have been performed over the past 12-15 years, yet some people are still afraid of Botox.

Breast Augmentation with Breast Implants and Rhinoplasty seem to be the hot Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Procedures this summer! As strange as it may sound….Plastic Surgery Procedures seem to come in groups and I’m never really certain which ones will be the most common for me to perform during any given month. This Summer, however, […]
I am trying to bring you a TV segment on the “Palmer Celebrity Lift”. It’s a new procedure that is a combination of our mini lift, geometric designed neck lift and Radiesse Injections to shape the cheeks. It can be done under a Novacaine-like injection without general anesthesia and has little or no recovery time. […]
Cheek and Chin Implants require a keen aesthetic eye and experience with shaping the face. I saw a patient today that wanted a Chin Implant removed that was placed by another surgeon. From the pre-op pictures provided by the patient….I’m not sure he ever needed the Chin Implant in the first place.
I agreed to remove the […]
Open Revision Rhinoplasty is one of the most technically difficult Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Procedures. Often the nasal cartilages have been operated previously to a point that something must be used to regain a normal looking nasal tip. What I have found works best, in my over 16 years of performing Rhinoplasty Surgery, is the […]
Beverly Hills remains the hub of Plastic Surgery because of the entertainment industry. The celebs need to look fantastic and they are no stranger to the knife and suture. Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery is a mind set as I go about my daily routine of lift, Nip, Tuck, Fill and Plump. My latest […]
Turned down 2 Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery cases yesterday! One patient wanted more Radiesse Injected to sculpt the face….but she had an autoimmmune disease…that’s a real No-No in my book and she already had Radiesse injected elsewhere several times and the shape of her face was aesthetically not right…in my opinion using my “Palmer Beauty Principles”. […]
It’s time to think about how you’re going to look at your class reunion. Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery has been used by these reunion goers for years as a way of impressing their classmates. Take years off your appearrance with a minilift and radiesse injections to shape the face into a more youthful, attractive look.
Ashton […]
Cheek Implants for Cheek Augmentation case on an out of town patient….just out of the OR! She, like many out of town patients, has been communicating with Robyn (our patient coordinator) over the past several months. Patients e-mail us pictures for me to evaluate. I use my “Palmer Beauty Principles” as a gauge to make […]

So, you want to look good and impress your family and friends without 2 weeks of downtime. No problem! Our custom minilift […]
Radiesse injections can be used to shape the face without the need for facial implants (Cheek, Jaw or Chin Implants). I’ve even used Radiesse to build up the bridge of the nose and define the nasal tip without Rhinoplasty Surgery.
Is this a miracle? Well, sort of….I have used facial implants to shape the face for […]
Just stepped out of the OR. Did a Facelift with Browlift, Blepharoplasty and Radiesse to shape the cheeks. She’ll look amazing and about 15 years younger. Radiesse is terrific at shaping the face without the need for facial implants. This patient traveled to Beverly Hills from out of state and will be here for about […]
Celebrity Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery for Better or Worse! OK…even though it’s my day off to blog…I can’t help myself. AOL is running a multiple sectioned piece by TMZ on the web today about celebrities and their Plastic Surgery Procedures. Celebrities like Jennifer Anniston have their before and what is supposed to be an after […]
Sometimes it’s just makes more sense to go with the flow. My new local Necklift is a perfect example. For years, I have pulled the loose tissues of the neck behind the ear during facelifts. Gravity however continues to pull the tissues in the opposite direction…that’s why people get a “turkey neck.” With more and […]
Saw patient today that had silicone injections to the face years ago. Silicone was great for years and then things started to go wrong. Really wrong. The face started to look deformed and she searched for someone to remove the silicone. Silicone is injected in minute droplets and is permanent….the body places collagen around the […]
That’s right 50 is the new 35…ish! If you adopt the attitude of having more frequent smaller…and yes…less invasive Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery procedures to maintain your good looks. I have numerous patients in their mid 50’s that look like they are in their 30’s. How? Simple, for years now they have had smaller more […]
If you’re not in the entertainment biz…the word hiatus probably doesn’t have the same meaning. For those on the small and big screen, but mostly TV shows…hiatus is a time when the TV production takes a break. It’s also a time when celebs might want a little something….something to improve their appearance.
I have said, many […]
Did an interesting case today. Full face TCA chemical peel. I prefer to use 30 percent TCA….thrichloroacetic acid…say that 5 times really fast. The TCA at that concentration (30 percent) gives a medium strength peel that will give the entire face a fresh look in about 1 week.
The chemical is applied to clean skin. […]
Hot off the Hollwood Buzz….move over Farrah there’s a new blonde bomshell in Tinsel Town! Jessica Simson is the new Blonde Beauty in these parts….and why not? According to my “Palmer Beauty Principles” Jessica is a real beauty scoring 99 points out of a possible perfect 100! Now that’s good-looking!
Other Beauty Idols in Hollywood also […]
Exciting day here today. VIP surgery (celebrity, public figure, roaylty, captain of industry?) and then did a case with a TV film crew. From the VIP case where secrecy is paramount…to the oepnness of doing surgery with a film crew filming everything.
As the VIP is leaving…the film crew is setting up in another portion of […]
Breast Augmentation in Celebrities has been in the news lately.
Did several Breast Augmentations today. It’s amazing how nice the patients look after the surgery. I prefer placing the Breast Implants below the muscle if at all possible….it looks more natural and allows for more options in the future.
Breasts are making a huge comeback…no pun intended. We […]
Every so often, Celebrity Rhinoplasty (Nose Jobs) make the news, so I thought I’d talk a bit about Rhinoplasty or Nasal Surgery. Was in the OR today doing a revision Rhinoplasty. I did the procedure Open, which means I place an inverted V shaped incision in the front of the nose half way between the […]
I saw a tummy tuck, for a psot-op visit and started to remove some of the stitches. The stitches around the belly button are removed about 9-10 days after the surgery. I’ve been using dissolveable stitches for everything else. She has some numbness over the entire abdomen, which becomes completely normal at about 3 months postop. […]
This is a further update on my post a couple of days ago regarding counterfiet Botox and other Plastic & Cosmetic Materials like Restylane. A lady in Monterey died from fake Botox that was injected by her hair stylist! I warned you that it was “Buyer Beware” out there in the beauty business, but when hair […]
I know that I have frequently written posts on my Custom Mini Facelifts but geez…I am doing them an unbelievable amount. Seems people are more interested in looking better right now, with little downtime, than in looking 15 years younger and a larger surgery. I’m serious…I’m doing 5 Minilifts in the next 2 days. These […]
You can read my post on ABC’s new hit series “Miracle Workers” in the News Flash section. It’s sure to be a smash hit. I’m off to the OR this morning to do one of our most popular Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery procedures….The Minilift with Injection of Radiesse to shape the cheeks. This combination can […]
Young women have the power to attract attention from men and other women. The more attractive the young woman, the more attention she receives. As women age, they slowly notice that they are not receiving as much attention as they used to…and they don’t like it! That was the gist of the discussion between a […]
WOW! I have to make major decisions on several key entertainment items that, I believe, will have significant impact on my career. It’s so strange that it’s not enough to be a highly trained, skilled, experienced Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon…you have to be media savvy and camera ready as well.
I actually have taken the role […]
Tag this one under ” Buyer Beware”… Had lunch with the Beverly Hills area Restylane sales rep at a very trendy sushi restaurant and during our conversation he mentioned that bootleg Restylane was found in the US. Now for those of you unfamiliar with Restylane, it’s a great soft tissue filler that’s injected into facial […]
March 7, 2006: I saw the lady that had the Tummy Tuck yesterday…see that post…for her first post-op visit. She has 2 bulb drains under the skin over the abdomen to remove any excess blood and serous fluid. These typically remain in for 3-4 days after the surgery. She’s also wearing an abdominal binder. It’s like a girdle […]
