### NAD+ Injection

> Discover the anti-aging benefits of NAD+ injections at Wave Plastic Surgery. Learn how NAD+ therapy boosts energy, supports recovery, and combats aging for a healthier you.

- Published: 2025-03-26
- Modified: 2025-03-26

NAD+ Injections At Wave Plastic Surgery Get A Consultation Need A Consultation? NAD+ Injections At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? The new paradigm in medicine nowadays is anti-aging. And when it comes to anti-aging, addressing at its core is essential. It's no secret that in the past two years, NAD+ injections have become incredibly popular among celebrities, tech gurus and elite athletes. Here at Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer NAD+ injections through two methods: intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM), with options for various sites such as the arms or thighs. What is NAD+? Watch the video below on NAD+ Injections and learn everything you need to know when it comes to anti-aging treatments. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=wGOr9cHgLhI&t=2sNAD+, or Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, is a critical biomolecule that plays a significant role in cellular energy metabolism, redox reactions, and gene expression regulation. It's a vital component for life, involved in the energy metabolism, redox reactions, and gene expression control in cells, and is crucial for cell aging regulation and maintaining normal bodily functions. Why is NAD+ important? The human body relies on mitochondrial oxidation of nutrients for energy, with NAD+ serving as a crucial catalyst. Without enough catalysts, reactions cannot proceed. NAD+ is present in all living cells, playing an essential role in regulating cell aging and maintaining normal bodily functions. Over time, aging leads to a significant reduction in NAD+ levels in our bodies. Imagine our bodies as complex machines, with NAD+ being akin to a type of energy battery. This energy battery ensures the smooth operation of various body parts, like keeping our skin, muscles, brain, and other organs healthy. As time goes by, just like any machine that wears out, our bodies also gradually show signs of aging. A key factor in this process is the declining level of our "energy battery" NAD+, similar to a battery losing its charge. This decline leads to several issues: Insufficient energy supply: Much like how a phone with a low battery struggles to function, a lack of NAD+ can leave us feeling lethargic and stressed. Diminished repair capabilities: Comparable to a machine taking longer to fix, our skin, muscles, and other tissues have a harder time healing, leading to wrinkles, accelerated aging, poor sleep quality, declining vision and hearing, muscle loss, and weight gain. Weakened immune system: NAD+ is also vital for keeping our immune system in check. A deficiency can weaken it, making us more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections, and leading to poorer health in the liver, kidneys, skeletal muscles, heart, and blood vessels, and increasing the risk of chronic diseases. Impaired brain function: Reduced NAD+ levels can affect brain functions, potentially causing depression, memory loss, concentration issues, and cognitive decline. In essence, as we age and our NAD+ levels decrease, our bodies gradually lose vitality, and various problems can arise, akin to an aging machine starting to malfunction. Client Testimonials I had filler and Sculptra with Mai last week. Her injection technique is incredibly gentle; I hardly felt any pain. Although there was some swelling afterward, the results were immediate—my entire face looked lifted. I’m extremely satisfied! Additionally, the NAD IV therapy made me feel revitalized the very next day. Anti-aging truly feels like a path you can never stop pursuing! Bella Lin I recently visited Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center in Rowland Heights for NAD therapy with Mai. The experience was excellent. The clinic is clean and comfortable, and Mai is very professional and attentive. Highly recommend for anyone seeking aesthetic treatments! Zhihong Zhu I really like this spa place. Cathy is my beautician and I make an appointment with her every time. NAD injections make my body look younger Hong Sun Nice staff! I highly recommend this place for Nad+ after done 6 treatments. I feel my whole body is energy up! Suni Jin Previous Next View More Testimonials Get Your Consultation Today Give us a call today to schedule your consultation with one of our plastic surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery to learn more about the benefits of NAD+ Injections. Call 888-674-3001 Get A Consultation Who is a Good Candidate for NAD+, and what are the benefits of it? Candidate: Individuals who often feel tired or exhausted: Much like charging a phone with a low battery, as energy diminishes with age, NAD+ injections could help the body repair itself, improve sleep quality, and increase overall energy levels. Individuals seeking anti-aging and skin rejuvenation benefits: Regular NAD+ injections can enhance cellular regeneration Athletes or fitness enthusiasts in need of physical recovery: Whether it's recovering from an injury, surgery, or engaging in high-intensity exercise, NAD+ injections can facilitate faster bodily repair, helping athletes in sports like marathons or triathlons to bounce back to optimal training conditions more swiftly. People who often consume alcohol and aim to boost their immunity: NAD+ can aid in metabolizing alcohol and offer some level of liver protection; it can repair genes damaged by acetaldehyde toxins, enhancing the body's resistance to alcohol and boosting immune function. Middle-aged and elderly individuals focusing on combating aging and diseases: For those looking to fortify their body against infections and illnesses, increasing NAD+ levels can enhance the health of vital organs such as the liver, kidneys, skeletal muscles, heart, and blood vessels, aiding in disease prevention. Individuals experiencing high stress levels or depression: Studies have shown that NAD+ can effectively alleviate symptoms of depression and low mood in the brain, aiding those with depression or substance dependencies in regaining energy and well-being during recovery. Supermodel Kendall Jenner, who has openly discussed her depression, has stated that NAD+ IV injections "made me feel really good and happy. " Can NAD+ help with Alzheimer’s too? At this point, the conditions being treated with intravenous NAD+ are very broad, while the clinical literature to answer these questions is very sparse. A review of the literature suggests that the highest dosages of intravenous NAD+ are being used to treat Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and various forms of cognitive...

NAD+ is present in all living cells, playing an essential role in regulating cell aging and maintaining normal bodily functions. Over time, aging leads to a significant reduction in NAD+ levels in our bodies. Imagine our bodies as complex machines, with NAD+ being akin to a type of energy battery. This energy battery ensures the smooth operation of various body parts, like keeping our skin, muscles, brain, and other organs healthy. As time goes by, just like any machine that wears out, our bodies also gradually show signs of aging. A key factor in this process is the declining level of our "energy battery" NAD+, similar to a battery losing its charge. This decline leads to several issues: Insufficient energy supply: Much like how a phone with a low battery struggles to function, a lack of NAD+ can leave us feeling lethargic and stressed. Diminished repair capabilities: Comparable to a machine taking longer to fix, our skin, muscles, and other tissues have a harder time healing, leading to wrinkles, accelerated aging, poor sleep quality, declining vision and hearing, muscle loss, and weight gain. Weakened immune system: NAD+ is also vital for keeping our immune system in check. A deficiency can weaken it, making us more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections, and leading to poorer health in the liver, kidneys, skeletal muscles, heart, and blood vessels, and increasing the risk of chronic diseases. Impaired brain function: Reduced NAD+ levels can affect brain functions, potentially causing depression, memory loss, concentration issues, and cognitive decline. In essence, as we age and our NAD+ levels decrease, our bodies gradually lose vitality, and various problems can arise, akin to an aging machine starting to malfunction. Client Testimonials I had filler and Sculptra with Mai last week. Her injection technique is incredibly gentle; I hardly felt any pain. Although there was some swelling afterward, the results were immediate—my entire face looked lifted. I’m extremely satisfied! Additionally, the NAD IV therapy made me feel revitalized the very next day. Anti-aging truly feels like a path you can never stop pursuing! Bella Lin I recently visited Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center in Rowland Heights for NAD therapy with Mai. The experience was excellent. The clinic is clean and comfortable, and Mai is very professional and attentive. Highly recommend for anyone seeking aesthetic treatments! Zhihong Zhu I really like this spa place. Cathy is my beautician and I make an appointment with her every time. NAD injections make my body look younger Hong Sun Nice staff! I highly recommend this place for Nad+ after done 6 treatments.

Suni Jin Previous Next View More Testimonials Get Your Consultation Today Give us a call today to schedule your consultation with one of our plastic surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery to learn more about the benefits of NAD+ Injections. Call 888-674-3001 Get A Consultation Who is a Good Candidate for NAD+, and what are the benefits of it? Candidate: Individuals who often feel tired or exhausted: Much like charging a phone with a low battery, as energy diminishes with age, NAD+ injections could help the body repair itself, improve sleep quality, and increase overall energy levels. Individuals seeking anti-aging and skin rejuvenation benefits: Regular NAD+ injections can enhance cellular regeneration Athletes or fitness enthusiasts in need of physical recovery: Whether it's recovering from an injury, surgery, or engaging in high-intensity exercise, NAD+ injections can facilitate faster bodily repair, helping athletes in sports like marathons or triathlons to bounce back to optimal training conditions more swiftly. People who often consume alcohol and aim to boost their immunity: NAD+ can aid in metabolizing alcohol and offer some level of liver protection; it can repair genes damaged by acetaldehyde toxins, enhancing the body's resistance to alcohol and boosting immune function. Middle-aged and elderly individuals focusing on combating aging and diseases: For those looking to fortify their body against infections and illnesses, increasing NAD+ levels can enhance the health of vital organs such as the liver, kidneys, skeletal muscles, heart, and blood vessels, aiding in disease prevention. Individuals experiencing high stress levels or depression: Studies have shown that NAD+ can effectively alleviate symptoms of depression and low mood in the brain, aiding those with depression or substance dependencies in regaining energy and well-being during recovery. Supermodel Kendall Jenner, who has openly discussed her depression, has stated that NAD+ IV injections "made me feel really good and happy. " Can NAD+ help with Alzheimer’s too? At this point, the conditions being treated with intravenous NAD+ are very broad, while the clinical literature to answer these questions is very sparse. A review of the literature suggests that the highest dosages of intravenous NAD+ are being used to treat Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and various forms of cognitive...

ULTHERAPY At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Ultherapy At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Have Questions? Call 888-674-3001 to speak to our experts now Find a Better Price for Ultherapy? WAVE Will Match It Learn More Learn More Wave is the top 5 Ultherapy provider in the nation Ultherapy in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco There once was a time when the only way to tighten your aging, sagging skin was to go under the knife. Now, with advancements in ultrasound technology, you can lift and tighten your face for a younger look without the need for surgery. Ultherapy is a new, non-surgical procedure that has been cleared by the FDA to provide men and women with what is being called a non-invasive facelift. Call 888-674-3001 How Does Ultherapy Work? https://youtu. be/q7mVLHwiAlc Ultherapy’s secret is ultrasound energy. This non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate your body’s own natural healing process. Ultherapy targets the deeper structural layers of your skin which provides a lifting and tightening effect for your face and neck. Ultrasound technology allows you to achieve these results without harming the surface of your skin. And Ultherapy treatments only take about an hour to complete. Don't wait, schedule your Ultherapy treatment today! A Quick Look at how the Ultherapy Treatment Looks Ultherapy works by sending ultrasound energy to the treatment area, most often the brow, chin, neck, or chest. These ultrasonic waves create a gentle warming effect in the targeted area. The ultrasound energy stimulates the facial tissue. This provides an immediate and noticeable tightening effect that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Over the next few months, Ultherapy also increases the production of collagen, giving the skin a youthful more toned appearance. https://youtu. be/8Di1Tkfnx0c Virtually try on Ultherapy New Look Now has teamed up with Wave to bring you the Ultherapy Visualizer. Try it now! Ever wonder what you could look like after an Ultherapy treatment? Now you can "try on" your treatment by uploading your photo! Try On Now Wave is the Top Provider of Ultherapy in the world! Ulthera®, Inc. has presented the Ultherapy® Visionary Award 2010-2015 to Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center for being the Top Ultherapy® practice in the USA for now five straight years. WAVE Plastic Surgery is also honored to receive the FAB 5 award from Ulthera, the highest award given to the Top 5 Ultherapy providers in the nation in 2019. We are proud and honored to be considered as one of the Top Ultherapy® providers in the world. We offer Ultherapy® in greater Southern California and we guarantee the lowest price on Ultherapy®. Give our office a call today to schedule your consultation with one of our Los Angeles board-certified plastic surgeons. How long does it Take to See Results from Ultherapy? You may notice a visible initial boost in the look of your face right after your treatment, but the results will only continue to get better over time. The effect of the ultrasound energy stimulates your body’s production of collagen and elastin, naturally filling out surface wrinkles and tightening areas of sagging or drooping skin. Your skin will gradually appear younger and tighter over the course of 2-3 months, helping to improve issues such as jowls, facial wrinkles, neck bands, and sagging skin. Is Ultherapy right for me? It is important to have realistic expectations when considering Ultherapy. Because it is a non-invasive alternative to surgery, it is intended for men and women with less severe signs of aging. Those experiencing significant amounts of sagging skin and deep wrinkles may not be able to achieve their desired results with Ultherapy. During your consultation, we will listen to your expectations and analyze your skin. In some cases, surgery may be the best option. A facelift or neck lift can provide you with the long-lasting results that you want. Tighten your Jawline with Ultherapy Ultherapy is especially effective at tightening the loose skin under the chin and around the jawline. Stimulating the production of collagen in this area can give you a firmer, more toned appearance around the neckline. Because Ultherapy works using your body's own natural collagen instead of fillers or injections, the results will look natural. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=2DZjFMdNuao Ultherapy Before and After Photos See more Ultherapy Results in our Before & After gallery!

You currently have any metal implants or pacemaker. If you elect to receive narcotics for pain or a sedative, please ensure you eat a light snack prior to treatment. A driver must be present on your appointment day. Ultherapy Post-Treatment: Resume normal activity the following day after treatment. Resume normal skin care routine. Bruising, swelling, and tenderness may occur on the treatment area. Arnica may be taken to help reduce bruising. Although extremely rare, a blister may appear. Contact your consultant or provider. Temporary welts may occur and typically subside after a few days. Temporary numbness, tingling, and/or muscle twitching may also occur and will subside after a few days.

The Minimal Incision Technique is a refined method of double eyelid surgery that creates a natural-looking crease without the need for a full incisional approach. Unlike traditional full incision methods, this technique utilizes small, strategically placed incisions to enhance the eyelid's structure while preserving natural tissue. It is ideal for patients with moderate eyelid skin thickness and minimal excess fat, offering a balanced approach for those seeking a subtle yet effective enhancement. Benefits of the Minimal Incision Technique Minimally Invasive – Fewer incisions mean less trauma to surrounding tissue. Faster Recovery – Shorter downtime compared to full incision surgery. Reduced Scarring – Small, discrete incisions result in less noticeable scars. Natural-Looking Results – Enhances the eyelid crease while maintaining a soft, natural appearance. Long-Lasting Effects – Provides durable and aesthetically pleasing outcomes. Ideal for Asian Eyelid Surgery – Designed to complement the unique anatomy of Asian eyelids.

Frequently Asked Questions About Instant Non-Surgical Double Eyelid Procedures Instant Non-Surgical Double Eyelid: Quick, Beautiful Results Without Surgery What Are Korean Double Eyelids? Korean double eyelids refer to the natural or enhanced crease on the upper eyelid that creates a more defined and open-eyed appearance. While many East Asians naturally have a single eyelid (monolid) without a crease, the double eyelid is a popular aesthetic in South Korea, associated with brighter, larger-looking eyes. Non-surgical procedures, like adhesives or thread lifts, are widely used to achieve this look without committing to permanent surgery, offering a way to enhance the eyes while maintaining a natural appearance. Call 888-674-3001 What Are Sutures and Blepharoplasty? Suture double eyelid surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where fine, dissolvable stitches are placed under the skin to create a double eyelid crease. This technique doesn’t require any cutting and offers quicker recovery, making it ideal for those looking for semi-permanent results. In contrast, blepharoplasty is a more permanent surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin, muscle, or fat from the eyelid to form a defined crease. This procedure is also effective for correcting a droopy eyelid, which can occur due to aging or muscle weakness, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. What Is an Instant Non-Surgical Double Eyelid? Looking for a quick way to get double eyelids without surgery? Instant non-surgical double eyelid procedures are the perfect solution for enhancing your eyelid shape without permanent changes. These treatments create a double eyelid crease instantly and safely, with no downtime. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer fast, non-invasive solutions that give you natural-looking results. Whether you're in Los Angeles, Orange County, or San Francisco, we have the right procedure for you. How Does Instant Non-Surgical Double Eyelid Treatment Work (And What Role Does the Levator Muscle Play)? Wondering how to get double eyelids without surgery? Here’s how we do it:What Are Double Eyelid Adhesive and Tape Techniques? We use double eyelid tape or adhesive to lift your eyelid skin and create a crease. It’s perfect for anyone who wants an instant, temporary look for special events. How Does a Non-Surgical Thread Lift Create Double Eyelids? A thread lift places fine threads under your skin to form a natural-looking crease. This minimally invasive method offers results that can last up to a year without any cutting. Can Fillers Be Used for Double Eyelids? Yes! We use dermal fillers to add volume and enhance your eyelid fold. This option provides a semi-permanent solution without surgery. The Role of the Levator Muscle in Eyelid Appearance The levator muscle is responsible for lifting your upper eyelid. In non-surgical double eyelid procedures, we enhance the natural lift provided by this muscle, creating a more open and defined eye appearance. If the levator muscle is weak, it can lead to a droopy eyelid (also known as ptosis). While non-surgical methods don’t directly alter the muscle, they complement its function, making your eyes appear more vibrant. Why Should You Get an Instant Non-Surgical Double Eyelid? Looking for quick results without surgery? Here are the top benefits:Immediate Results: You’ll see the difference right away! No Downtime: Get back to your day immediately after the procedure. Temporary or Semi-Permanent Options: Perfect if you want to try out the look before committing. Customizable to Your Face: We tailor the procedure to fit your natural features. If you're in Southern California and want a fast, safe way to enhance your eyes, Wave Plastic Surgery has you covered. Check out our monthly specials from WAVE Plastic Surgery Learn More Who Should Consider an Instant Non-Incisional Double Eyelid Procedure? Is this procedure right for you? It’s ideal if you:Want quick results without surgery. Prefer a temporary change for special occasions. Are curious about how a double eyelid crease will look before choosing surgery. Have mild droopy eyelids and want a non-surgical lift to enhance your eye shape. Thinking about permanent options? Check out our Double Eyelid Surgery with Ptosis Correction. How Long Do Instant Non-Surgical Double Eyelid Results Last? Wondering how long your results will last? It depends on the method:Adhesive or Tape: Lasts until you remove it—perfect for a night out.

References Ptosis Surgery at Wave Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Francisco Understanding Ptosis Ptosis, or drooping of the upper eyelid, happens when the levator muscle weakens, making it challenging to keep the eyes fully open. This can affect one or both eyes, often giving a tired, sleepy, or older appearance. It can even obstruct vision in more severe cases, leading to strain and discomfort. At Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center, we specialize in ptosis repair techniques that restore function and aesthetics, helping patients achieve a naturally refreshed look. Types of Ptosis Ptosis can be classified based on its cause and severity. Understanding the type of ptosis is essential when choosing the most effective treatment. 1. Congenital Ptosis Some individuals are born with ptosis due to an underdeveloped levator muscle. This condition can range from mild to severe and may worsen over time if left untreated. Early intervention is key to preventing vision problems like amblyopia (lazy eye) in infants. Without treatment, children may habitually tilt their heads or lift their eyebrows to compensate, leading to forehead strain. 2. Acquired Ptosis Acquired ptosis typically develops as people age, but it can also result from trauma, prolonged contact lens wear, or underlying neurological conditions. Over time, the levator muscle stretches or weakens, causing the eyelid to droop. Patients often notice their eyes appearing smaller or having difficulty keeping them open by the end of the day. Severity of Ptosis The severity of ptosis ranges from mild to severe, affecting appearance and daily activities. Mild cases may only alter the shape of the eyes, creating an asymmetrical or fatigued look. More pronounced cases can make it difficult to keep the eyes open without straining the forehead muscles, leading to discomfort and headaches. Ptosis is classified based on the degree of eyelid drooping: Mild Ptosis (1–2 mm droop): Mostly a cosmetic concern; may make the eyes appear tired or asymmetrical. Moderate Ptosis (3–4 mm droop): May begin to obstruct vision, requiring a conscious effort to lift the eyelids. Severe Ptosis (>4 mm droop): Can significantly impair vision, often requiring surgical intervention. Our expert surgeons assess each case individually to develop a customized treatment plan that restores function and natural beauty.

These images showcase the transformative effects of eyelid surgery and can help you set realistic expectations for your results. See The Transformation Gallery Benefits of Ptosis Repair Ptosis surgery can significantly improve both vision and quality of life. Many patients also experience difficulty with daily activities and find that ptosis correction offers long-term improvement in eyelid function, appearance, and overall confidence. 1. Functional Benefits Improves vision by lifting the eyelid out of the field of sight Reduces headaches and brow strain caused by compensatory forehead muscle use Enhances eye comfort and reduces irritation from droopy eyelids 2. Aesthetic Benefits Restores a youthful, refreshed, and more alert appearance Creates symmetry between the eyes Complements other eyelid procedures, such as double eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty Ptosis Repair at Wave Plastic Surgery Ptosis repair is a delicate procedure that requires precision and expertise to achieve natural-looking results.

Related Articles Eyelid creases are more than just a small fold on your eyelids—they significantly define your overall facial aesthetics. Whether you're looking to achieve a more open-eyed look, correct asymmetry, or enhance your natural features, understanding eyelid crease specifications can help you achieve your desired appearance. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we specialize in customizing eyelid procedures to fit each patient’s unique facial structure and personal goals, ensuring results that are both beautiful and natural. See more in our Before & After gallery! Understanding Different Types of Eyelid Creases Tapered Eyelid CreaseA tapered eyelid crease narrows as it approaches the inner corner of the eye. This subtle, natural-looking fold is popular among individuals seeking a softer, more delicate appearance. It’s commonly requested in Asian blepharoplasty for its ability to maintain ethnic authenticity while enhancing eye shape. Parallel Eyelid CreaseA parallel eyelid crease runs evenly across the eyelid, maintaining a consistent distance from the lash line. This type of crease offers a more defined and dramatic look, often preferred in double eyelid surgeries. It’s particularly popular among those wanting a bolder, more prominent eye shape. Double EyelidsDouble eyelids refer to the presence of a visible crease that creates the illusion of larger, more open eyes. This feature holds cultural significance, especially in East Asian countries, where double eyelid surgery is a common cosmetic procedure. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer various techniques to create or enhance double eyelids while ensuring natural, harmonious results. Hooded EyesHooded eyes occur when excess skin folds over the crease, making the eyelids less visible. This can give the eyes a tired or smaller appearance. Eyelid surgery can lift and redefine the crease, improving both the aesthetic and, in some cases, vision. In fact, many patients seek this procedure not just for cosmetic reasons but also to address functional issues like vision obstruction. How to Choose the Right Eyelid Crease for You Selecting the perfect eyelid crease depends on several factors:Facial Structure and Anatomy: The shape of your eyes, brow position, and skin elasticity all play a role in determining the best crease for you. Ethnic Considerations: Different ethnicities have unique anatomical features, which influence the type of crease that looks most natural. For instance, East Asian eyelid structures often benefit from tailored approaches that respect cultural aesthetics while enhancing the natural eye shape. Personal Preferences: Are you aiming for a subtle change or a dramatic transformation? Your goals guide the process. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our expert surgeons will walk you through a personalized consultation, ensuring your eyelid crease surgery aligns perfectly with your vision. Eyelid Crease Surgery (Blepharoplasty) at Wave Plastic Surgery Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that modifies the eyelid crease, removes excess skin, and enhances overall eye appearance. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we use advanced techniques to deliver results that look natural and complement your unique features. What to Expect:Consultation: We start with a detailed evaluation of your eye structure and discuss your aesthetic goals. Surgery: Our surgeons employ precise techniques to create or enhance your eyelid crease. Recovery: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and see significant improvement within a week. Recent advancements in surgical techniques have made eyelid surgeries more efficient and less invasive, leading to shorter recovery times and minimal scarring. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we stay at the forefront of these innovations to provide you with the best possible outcomes. Call 888-674-3001 Recovery Process & Expected Results After your eyelid surgery, it’s important to follow post-operative care guidelines for optimal healing:Initial Recovery: Swelling and bruising are common but typically subside within 1-2 weeks. Final Results: Your new eyelid crease will become fully visible as swelling decreases, usually within a month. Longevity: Results are long-lasting, and with proper care, they can maintain their appearance for years. Many patients report high satisfaction rates after eyelid surgery, citing both the subtlety of the enhancements and the confidence boost that comes from a refreshed appearance. Check out our monthly specials from WAVE Plastic Surgery Learn More Common Questions Related to Eyelid Crease Specifications How do I choose between a tapered and parallel eyelid crease?

Schedule Your Consultation 10. References 11. FAQs Expert Lower Blepharoplasty at Wave Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San FranciscoDo you ever feel like you look tired no matter how much sleep you get? Those persistent under-eye bags aren’t just from long nights or stress—they’re often caused by shifting fat pockets due to aging or genetics. If creams and home remedies haven’t worked, lower eyelid fat removal might be the solution. At Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center, we specialize in eyelid surgery, with a particular emphasis on Asian eyelid surgeries, ensuring techniques that respect and enhance the natural anatomy of the eyes. Our board-certified plastic surgeons bring decades of experience and advanced surgical precision to help you achieve a naturally rejuvenated look. During your personalized consultation, our team will carefully assess your concerns and work with you to determine whether lower eyelid fat removal is the right solution for your aesthetic goals. What Is Lower Eyelid Fat Removal? Lower eyelid fat removal, also known as lower blepharoplasty or transconjunctival blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions fat deposits beneath the eyes to reduce puffiness and create a smoother, more youthful look. Think of it as reshaping a pillow that's lost its form over time—instead of removing the extra stuffing (fat), we carefully adjust and contour it to restore a refreshed appearance. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we specialize in Asian eyelid procedures, and this approach is particularly beneficial for patients with thicker eyelid tissue, sometimes common among individuals of Asian descent. Since the procedure is performed internally through the conjunctiva (the inner surface of the eyelid), there are no visible scars, allowing for a discreet yet highly effective enhancement. Benefits of Lower Eyelid Fat Removal A lower blepharoplasty does more than remove under-eye bags—it enhances your overall facial expression and balance, making you look well-rested and more youthful. Benefits Wave patients typically experience include:Smoother, firmer under-eye skinA more awake and refreshed lookNo visible scarring due to internal incisionsA minimally invasive approach with a quick recoveryLong-lasting results that won’t fade after a few monthsMany of our patients find that this procedure improves their appearance and boosts their confidence, helping them feel like their best, most vibrant selves again. Wave Patient Transformation Who Is a Good Candidate? This procedure is ideal for people who:Have under-eye bags or puffiness that don’t go away with sleep or skincareWant to reduce dark circles caused by fat bulgingAre in good health and have realistic expectationsHave moderate to good skin elasticity, which helps with healingGenetics plays a significant role in how our under-eye area ages. If your parents or relatives have noticeable eye bags, you might develop them too, even at a younger age. A consultation with our team of eyelid procedure specialists at Wave Plastic Surgery can help determine if this procedure is the right fit for you. The Lower Eyelid Fat Removal Procedure At Wave Plastic Surgery, we take a refined, minimally invasive approach to lower blepharoplasty, using advanced techniques prioritizing precision, natural results, and a faster recovery. The procedure is efficient and highly customized, typically lasting 30 to 60 minutes. Anesthesia – We use local anesthesia or light sedation, keeping you comfortable while allowing for a safer, smoother recovery compared to general anesthesia. Incision Placement – Our surgeons make a small, hidden incision inside the lower eyelid, ensuring no visible scars on the skin. Fat Repositioning or Removal – We gently remove or reposition fat deposits using meticulous surgical techniques, softening under-eye puffiness while preserving a natural, youthful contour. Dissolvable Sutures – There’s no need for suture removal, reducing post-procedure maintenance and making the healing process even easier. Because we specialize in eyelid surgery and advanced lower blepharoplasty techniques, our approach is tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy for results that enhance and refresh without overcorrecting. Using a minimally invasive method, we also reduce tissue trauma, leading to less swelling, quicker healing, and a more comfortable recovery than traditional techniques. Smooth Recovery & Healing The relatively quick and easy recovery is one of the best things about lower eyelid fat removal at Wave Plastic Surgery. Our advanced lower blepharoplasty approach reduces trauma to surrounding tissues, helping patients heal faster while achieving natural, long-lasting results. Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first few days, but this typically fades quickly. Because the incision is hidden inside the lower eyelid, there are no visible scars to worry about. Many of our patients feel well enough to return to work within a week, though individual healing times may vary. As swelling subsides over the next few weeks, your results will continue refining, revealing a brighter, youthful under-eye appearance. Our team can always guide you through the healing process and address any questions. Complementary Procedures If you’re looking for a more comprehensive refresh, lower blepharoplasty pairs well with: Upper Eyelid Surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty) – This removes excess skin from the upper eyelids, which can cause drooping or a hooded look. Fat Transfer or Dermal Fillers – A small amount of fat or filler can restore volume for an even smoother appearance for those with under-eye hollowness. Laser Resurfacing or Chemical Peels – These treatments can brighten the skin and reduce fine lines around the eyes. During your consultation, we can discuss whether combining procedures might benefit your aesthetic goals. How Much Does Lower Eyelid Fat Removal Cost? At Wave Plastic Surgery, we believe that every patient’s needs are unique, and we offer hyper-personalized treatment plans for our patients. The cost of lower blepharoplasty with the eyelid specialists at Wave varies based on several factors, including:The specific techniques used to achieve optimal...

Recovery & Aftercare 7. Why Choose Wave? 8. Schedule A Consultation Advanced, Non-Incisional Double Eyelid Procedure at Wave Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Orange County Enhance Your Natural Beauty with Precision No-Incision Suture Technology At Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center, we specialize in advanced techniques for Asian eyelid surgery that enhance natural beauty while preserving facial balance. Our No-Incision Suture Method is an innovative, non-surgical approach designed to create a well-defined, long-lasting double eyelid crease—without visible scars and with minimal downtime. This state-of-the-art method refines traditional suture techniques by carefully adjusting crease height, eyelid shape, and muscle dynamics, ensuring seamless, natural movement. Our experienced surgeons take a customized, detail-oriented approach, tailoring each procedure to complement the patient’s unique eye structure for harmonious and dynamic results. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we go beyond aesthetics, offering comprehensive, patient-focused care to help you achieve your ideal look with precision and artistry. Understanding the No-Incision Suture Method The No-Incision Suture Technique for double eyelid surgery at Wave Plastic Surgery involves precisely placing permanent sutures through tiny punctures along the upper eyelid. These sutures are meticulously threaded and anchored to the tarsus—the dense connective tissue within the eyelid—to form a well-defined crease. Unlike traditional incisional methods, this approach does not require the removal of skin or muscle, thereby preserving the natural anatomy of the eyelid and reducing the risk of visible scarring. Procedure Details Duration: Approximately one hourAnesthesia: Local anesthesia with light sedationTechnique:Small punctures are made along the predetermined crease line. A continuous suture is threaded through these punctures and securely anchored to the tarsus. The suture creates a natural-looking fold that enhances the eye's appearance. This method ensures that the double eyelid crease is durable and aesthetically pleasing, making the eyes appear more open and inviting. Benefits of the Non-Incision Suture Technique Choosing the No-Incision Suture Method at Wave offers several benefits:Minimally Invasive: The procedure avoids large incisions, leading to less tissue trauma. Reduced Recovery Time: Patients typically experience minimal swelling and bruising, allowing for a quicker return to daily activities. Natural Appearance: The technique preserves the natural eyelid structure, resulting in a crease that complements the patient's facial features. Long-Lasting Results: The permanent sutures provide a durable solution, maintaining the crease for years. Ideal Candidates The No-Incision Suture Method is particularly suited for individuals who meet the following criteria:Age: Younger adults, typically in their teens to twenties. Eyelid Characteristics:Thin upper eyelid skin with minimal fat. Loose or sagging skin resulting from the use of eyelid tape, glue, or false lashes. Existing weak or poorly defined double eyelid creases. Health Status: Individuals without significant ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid) and who are in overall good health. Preferences:Desire to avoid full incisional scars. Seek a quicker recovery period. Prefer a natural-appearing upper eyelid crease. It's essential for prospective patients to have realistic expectations and to consult with our experienced surgeons to determine the most appropriate approach for their unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Comparison with Traditional Incisional Methods While both the No-Incision Suture Method and traditional incisional techniques aim to create a double eyelid crease, there are distinct differences: Invasiveness: No-Incision Suture Method: Utilizes small punctures without cutting the skin, leading to less tissue disruption. Incisional Method: Involves a full-length incision along the eyelid, allowing for the removal of excess skin and fat. Recovery: No-Incision Suture Method: Shorter recovery time with minimal swelling and bruising. Incisional Method: Longer recovery period due to the more invasive nature of the surgery. Scarring: No-Incision Suture Method: Minimal to no visible scarring. Incisional Method: Potential for visible scars along the crease line. Durability: No-Incision Suture Method: Provides long-lasting results, though some cases may require revision over time. Incisional Method: Generally offers permanent results with a lower likelihood of crease loss. The choice between these methods depends on individual factors, including eyelid anatomy, skin thickness, and personal preferences. Our surgeons will provide a comprehensive evaluation to recommend the most suitable technique. Post-Procedure Care and Recovery Following the No-Incision Suture Method, patients can expect a straightforward recovery process:Immediate Aftercare:Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling. Keep the eyelid area clean and dry. Activity Restrictions:Avoid strenuous activities for at least one week. Refrain from rubbing or pressing on the eyelids. Follow-Up:Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing. Report any unusual symptoms, such as excessive swelling or discomfort, to your surgeon promptly. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, with most swelling subsiding within one to two weeks. The final aesthetic results typically become apparent over several weeks to a few months as the tissues fully heal, and the crease settles into its natural position. Why Choose Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center? At Wave Plastic Surgery, our commitment to excellence ensures that each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs. Our board-certified plastic surgeons have extensive experience in Asian eyelid surgery, particularly the No-Incision Suture Method. We understand the delicate artistry required to create natural-looking double eyelids that complement each patient’s facial features while preserving their ethnic identity.

Benefits of Awake Surgery 3. Am I A Good Candidate? 4. How Does It Work? 5. Faster Recovery Timeline 6. Natural-Looking Results 7. Testimonials 8. Schedule A Consulation 11. FAQ's 12. References Offered at Wave Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Orange County. What Is Awake Blepharoplasty? If you’ve been thinking about eyelid surgery but feel uneasy about general anesthesia, Awake Blepharoplasty might be the perfect solution. This procedure refreshes and lifts the eyelids using only local anesthesia with light sedation, meaning you stay comfortable and aware—without the grogginess or risks of being fully under. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our team specializes in awake plastic surgery procedures, offering advanced techniques tailored to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes. With extensive expertise in eyelid surgeries and Asian eyelid aesthetics, our surgeons take a meticulous approach to achieving refreshed, balanced, and natural results. Whether you're seeking a subtle lift or a more defined eyelid crease, we prioritize precision and artistry to deliver brighter, more youthful eyes—all with minimal downtime and a smooth recovery. Benefits of Awake Blepharoplasty Opting for Awake Plastic Surgery instead of a traditional eyelid lift offers several advantages:Faster recovery: Less swelling and bruising means you’ll return to normal activities sooner. Lower risk: Since you’re avoiding general anesthesia, there’s no risk of anesthesia-related side effects like nausea, dizziness, or memory fog. Greater precision: Because you’re awake, your surgeon can fine-tune the procedure in real-time by having you open and close your eyes to ensure the most natural outcome. Less post-surgery discomfort: Local anesthesia keeps the area numb, reducing pain during and after surgery. More natural results: Less trauma to the tissues means smoother healing and less scarring. For many patients, Awake Anesthesia provides a safe, effective way to achieve a refreshed, more youthful eye appearance—all under local anesthesia. Who Is a Good Candidate for Awake Bleph? Awake Eyelid Procedures are an excellent option for people who want to enhance their eyes without the risks of general anesthesia. You might be a good candidate if you:1. Have sagging or puffy eyelids that make you look tired or aged. 2. Struggle with droopy upper eyelids (ptosis) that affect your vision. 3. Want to refine or enhance your eyelid crease, especially if you have a monolid. 4. Are generally healthy and prefer a quicker recovery with fewer risks. If you’re unsure whether this approach is right for you, our team at Wave Plastic Surgery can help determine the best plan during a consultation. How Does Blepharoplasty Under Local Anesthesia Work? Awake Plastic Surgery is designed to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Here’s what to expect:1. Numbing the area: Your surgeon will gently inject local anesthesia around your eyelids. You may also receive mild sedation to help you relax. 2. Precision eyelid contouring: Excess skin, fat, or muscle is carefully removed or repositioned to restore a youthful, well-balanced look. 3. Real-time adjustments: Because you’re awake, your surgeon may ask you to open and close your eyes during the procedure to ensure perfect symmetry. 4. Minimal incisions, faster healing: The incisions are placed in the natural creases of your eyelids, making them nearly invisible once healed. How Long Does Eyelid Surgery Take? Most Awake Blepharoplasty procedures take one to two hours, depending on whether you’re having upper, lower, or both eyelids treated. The complexity of the procedure and the amount of tissue being adjusted can also affect the duration. Because general anesthesia isn’t used, there’s no prolonged recovery period at the surgical center—patients can typically go home within an hour or so after the procedure. While some mild swelling and tightness are normal, most patients feel well enough to move around comfortably on the same day. Quick Recovery & Aftercare Healing after eyelid surgery under local anesthesia is usually smoother and quicker than traditional eyelid surgery. Here’s what to keep in mind:Expect some swelling and bruising for the first few days, but it typically subsides within a week. Give your eyes a break. Avoid excessive screen time, reading, or anything that strains your eyes for the first few days. This helps prevent unnecessary irritation. Follow your aftercare instructions. Cold compresses, prescribed ointments, and keeping your head elevated while sleeping can all help speed recovery. Pain is minimal. Most patients only need Tylenol or ibuprofen for discomfort—no strong pain meds are necessary. Most people feel comfortable returning to light activities within a few days and regular routines within a week or two. Natural-Looking Eyelid Lift Results At Wave Plastic Surgery, our Awake Eyelid Lift technique enhances your natural features while maintaining a balanced, refreshed appearance. Patients typically see:Brighter, more alert-looking eyes that appear naturally rejuvenated. A smoother, more defined eyelid contour with improved symmetry. A refined yet noticeable enhancement that complements your overall facial aesthetics. Minimal scarring and long-lasting results thanks to precise surgical techniques and reduced tissue trauma.

Want natural-looking results from an experienced plastic surgeonAt Wave Plastic Surgery, we conduct personalized consultations, and our renowned eyelid specialists offer hyper-personalized treatment plans to determine whether an eyelid lift is the right option for you. Eyelid Lift Procedure: What to Expect An eyelid lift is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the same day. Depending on the extent of the surgery, it may be done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia if a more complex approach is needed. During the procedure:1. Performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation (general anesthesia is also available in some cases)2. Small, precisely placed incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids3. Removal or repositioning of excess skin, fat, and muscle4. Procedure duration: 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on complexity5. Minimal discomfort and fast recovery with advanced surgical techniques Recovery After Eyelid Surgery The recovery period for an eyelid lift is relatively short, and most patients return to their regular routines within 7 to 10 days. Timeline of Recovery:Days 1-3: Swelling and bruising peak; use cold compresses and elevate your head. Week 1: Stitches are removed (if non-dissolvable), and swelling begins to subside. Week 2: Most swelling and bruising resolve; patients can apply makeup to cover any mild discoloration. Week 3+: Final results start becoming visible as healing continues. Thanks to advanced techniques and the expertise of our eyelid surgery specialists, Wave patients benefit from minimal downtime, a smooth recovery, and results that look natural and refreshed—not overdone. How Long Do Eyelid Lift Results Last? When completed by an experienced eyelid surgery professional, an eyelid lift provides long-lasting rejuvenation, with results typically lasting 10 to 15 years or more. While the procedure can’t stop the natural aging process, it significantly slows down the visible effects around the eyes. Many patients find that even as they continue to age, their eyelids never return to their previous level of sagging or puffiness. Several factors can influence how long your results last, including genetics, skin quality, and lifestyle choices. Protecting your skin from sun exposure, maintaining a consistent skincare routine, and staying hydrated can help preserve a youthful appearance. Additionally, healthy habits—like avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption—can prevent premature aging and keep your results looking their best for years to come.

The eyes are often the first thing people notice, but they also show signs of aging earlier than other face areas. Droopy lids, under-eye bags, and volume loss can make you look tired or older than you feel. Youthful eyelid surgery is designed to refresh your appearance by addressing these concerns, bringing back the natural brightness and balance to your eyes. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons specialize in advanced eyelid techniques, helping you achieve natural, long-lasting results that look like you—well-rested and rejuvenated. Reawaken Your Natural Beauty Have you ever had someone ask if you’re tired, even after a whole night’s sleep? That’s because the eyes greatly influence how people perceive energy and youthfulness. Over time, the delicate skin around them loses elasticity, fat shifts, and muscles weaken, leading to sagging lids, puffiness, and hollowness. Eyelid surgery can help by:Tightening loose skin that creates a hooded or heavy lookReducing under-eye bags or puffinessRestoring lost volume for a softer, youthful contourEnhancing the natural shape and symmetry of your eyesThe goal isn’t to change how you look—just to refresh your features so you look like the best version of yourself. Youthful Eyelid Surgery at Wave Plastic Surgery At Wave Plastic Surgery, we understand that every patient’s eyes are unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work regarding eyelid rejuvenation. Our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in both traditional eyelid surgery and Asian eyelid surgery, offering hyper-personalized treatment plans using the latest technology ensuring that your procedure is carefully tailored to your facial structure and aesthetic goals. For some patients, a youthful eyelid procedure may involve removing excess skin and repositioning fat to smooth out puffiness and sagging. Others may benefit from fat grafting or fillers to restore lost volume and enhance the eyes' natural contours. Our expertise allows us to customize the approach based on your specific concerns—whether it’s droopy lids, under-eye hollowness, or overall eye asymmetry—all while maintaining a balanced, natural look that complements your features. By combining advanced surgical techniques with a deep understanding of facial harmony, we help patients achieve refreshed results that are not overdone. Whether you aim to brighten tired-looking eyes, restore youthful fullness, or refine your natural eyelid shape, our team will develop a customized plan to help you achieve subtle yet transformative results. What Does Youthful Eyelid Surgery Do? Aging affects the skin and muscles around the eyes, leading to droopy eyelids, puffiness, and volume loss. Youthful eyelid surgery helps refresh and restore a natural, well-rested look by:Lifting sagging eyelids – Removes excess skin and repositions tissue for a more open, awake appearance. Reducing under-eye bags – Smooth puffiness by removing or repositioning fat. Restoring lost volume – Uses fat grafting or fillers to correct hollow, sunken areas. Enhancing facial harmony – Balances eye contours to maintain a natural, youthful expression. Your surgeon will customize the procedure based on your anatomy, skin condition, and goals to ensure subtle, natural-looking results that enhance—rather than change—your unique features. Am I a Candidate for Youthful Eyelid Surgery? If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and noticed heavy eyelids, deep under-eye circles, or persistent puffiness that won’t go away with rest or skin care, you may be a good candidate for youthful eyelid surgery. This procedure is designed for individuals who want to restore a refreshed, naturally youthful look by addressing the structural changes that occur around the eyes with age. 1. Droopy Lower Eyelids As we age, the muscles and skin supporting the lower eyelids weaken, causing them to droop. This can create an unbalanced look and, in some cases, expose more of the white part of the eye, giving a perpetually fatigued or aged appearance. Lower eyelid surgery can tighten and reposition the tissues, restoring a smooth, youthful contour. 2. Under-Eye Bags or Puffiness Puffiness under the eyes is often caused by fat pads shifting forward as skin loses elasticity. While some naturally develop under-eye bags, others notice them forming over time. This procedure repositions or removes excess fat to create a smoother, more rested look, eliminating the constant appearance of exhaustion. 3. Hollowed-Out Under-Eye Areas Loss of collagen and fat volume can lead to hollow or sunken under-eyes, making dark circles appear more pronounced. This is especially common for individuals with thin skin or deep-set eyes. To restore lost volume, surgeons may use fat grafting or dermal fillers, helping to soften harsh shadows and enhance a naturally youthful fullness. 4. Excess Skin on the Upper or Lower Eyelids Excess skin around the eyes can cause a heavy, drooping appearance that affects both aesthetics and, in some cases, vision. This surgery can remove or tighten loose skin, giving the eyes a more refined, lifted appearance while maintaining natural facial harmony. Types of Youthful Eyelid Procedures Eyelid rejuvenation is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Depending on your concerns—volume loss, puffiness, excess skin, or sagging—your surgeon will recommend the best approach to restore a brighter, more youthful appearance. Some treatments are non-surgical, while others involve precise surgical techniques to enhance natural contours. 1. Filler Injections Dermal fillers offer a quick, non-surgical solution for patients experiencing mild to moderate volume loss under the eyes. These injections use hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Restylane®, which mimic the body’s natural moisture-retaining properties to plump and smooth the under-eye area. Best for: Patients with hollowness or mild under-eye shadows but no significant skin laxity. Procedure time: Around 10–15 minutes, with results visible immediately....

At Wave Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons use the latest microsurgical techniques to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results while minimizing downtime and scarring. If you’re considering lower eyelid surgery, understanding the procedure details, advanced techniques, and expected outcomes will help you make an informed decision. Book a consultation with our expert surgeons today. How Lower Blepharoplasty Works: A Step-by-Step Breakdown Unlike general lower eyelid surgery, which broadly refers to various corrective procedures, lower blepharoplasty is a highly specialized surgery designed to address specific under-eye concerns, including:Herniated fat pockets causing puffiness or bulging under the eyesLax skin and wrinkles contributing to a sagging appearanceHollowing beneath the eyes, leading to a tired, sunken lookEyelid malposition (ectropion or retraction), which can be corrected with adjunctive proceduresOur approach focuses on precision surgical techniques that deliver lasting, natural results. See more in our Before & After gallery! https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=6L9NlsyJfdg Advanced Lower Blepharoplasty Techniques The surgical approach depends on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Below are the primary techniques we use at Wave Plastic Surgery:Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty (Scarless Lower Blepharoplasty)Best for: Younger patients with fat herniation but good skin elasticityIncision: Inside the lower eyelid (completely hidden)Procedure: Fat pockets are carefully repositioned or removed without external incisionsBenefits: No visible scars, faster healing, maintains a natural look💡 Ideal for patients who want a subtle but significant reduction in under-eye puffiness. Subciliary Blepharoplasty (Traditional Lower Blepharoplasty)Best for: Patients with excess skin, wrinkles, and fat protrusionIncision: Made just below the lower lash lineProcedure:• Precise removal or repositioning of fat• Tightening of the skin to smooth wrinkles• Optional muscle suspension to support eyelid shape• Benefits: Corrects both skin laxity and fat bulging for a comprehensive rejuvenation💡 For patients with loose skin and deeper creases, this technique provides a smoother, more lifted result. Fat Repositioning vs. Fat Removal – Which Is Better? Rather than simply removing fat, modern lower blepharoplasty techniques often redistribute it for a more natural look. Fat Removal: Best for significant under-eye puffiness but may cause hollowing if overdone. Fat Repositioning: Moves excess fat into hollow areas to create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. 💡 Our surgeons carefully assess whether removal, repositioning, or a hybrid approach will yield the best results for you. MEET THE SURGEONS Surgical Precision: How We Achieve Natural Results Preserving Eyelid Support & FunctionLower blepharoplasty is not just about aesthetics—it also requires technical skill to maintain eyelid integrity. We use:✔ Canthopexy or Canthoplasty – Procedures to tighten and stabilize the lower eyelid if laxity is present✔ Muscle-Sparing Techniques – To prevent eyelid drooping or hollowing✔ Laser or Chemical Peel Resurfacing – Used post-surgery to refine fine lines and enhance results💡 By combining these techniques, we customize each procedure to your individual needs while ensuring long-term stability. Call 888-674-3001 Lower Blepharoplasty: What to Expect from Surgery & Recovery Procedure TimelineSurgical Time: 1. 5 – 2. 5 hoursAnesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesiaOutpatient Procedure: No overnight stay requiredStitch Removal: 5–7 days post-surgery (if applicable)Recovery Process & DowntimeSwelling & Bruising: Peak at 3-5 days, improve over 2 weeksMild Discomfort: Managed with prescribed medicationReturn to Work & Social Activities: Within 10–14 daysFinal Results: 3–6 months, as swelling fully subsides💡 Following post-operative care instructions ensures optimal healing and long-lasting results. Check out our monthly specials from WAVE Plastic Surgery Learn More The Wave Method Many different types of techniques exist for lower eyelid surgery. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our surgeons are extremely knowledgeable on the most advanced techniques to ensure a successful outcome. We perform a transconjunctival approach to minimize scar formation and preserve the natural shape of the lower eyelid. An incision is created inside the lower eyelid to access the excess fat that surrounds the eyeball. The fatty tissue can be removed or repositioned depending on the patient’s needs. Our surgeons understand the delicate nature of the eyes and know how much fat to safely remove from the lower eyelid without causing hollowing of the eyes. If needed, a small, separate skin incision is made just under the eyelashes to remove any excess skin to create a smooth, seamless contour. Very fine sutures are then used to meticulously close the incision and are removed after one week. Canthopexy and Canthoplasty Sometimes the lower eyelid is weakened with aging and loses the elasticity required to maintain the eyelid shape. In these situations, we recommend performing an adjunctive canthopexy procedure to strengthen the lower eyelid. A canthopexy can help prevent sagging of the lower eyelid and the formation of an ectropion where the lower eyelid loses tone and does not fully contact the eyeball. This procedure can tighten and improve the contour of the lower eyelid by anchoring the tendon of the eyelid muscle to the lateral orbital bone. In some patients, the outer contour or angle of the eyelid can be adjusted with a lateral canthoplasty to open up the eye, creating a more balanced and attractive eye shape. Fat Repositioning Some patients have a prominent tear trough deformity or hollowing along the orbital rim that may require lower blepharoplasty fat repositioning as an adjunctive procedure. Fat repositioning involves rearranging the orbital fat to recontour the hollow or depressed areas around the eye. The arcus marginalis, a fibrous attachment...

Asian Eyelid Anatomy At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Asian Eyelid Anatomy At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Eye Procedures Content Navigator 1. Types of Double Eyelids 2. Choosing the Right Fold Height 3. How Asian Eyelids Differ from Non-Asian Eyelids 4. How Aging Affects Asian Eyelids 5. Why Choose Wave Plastic Surgery? 6. References Expert Care in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San FranciscoAsian eyelids have a unique structure requiring a specialized cosmetic surgery approach. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we understand the subtle details that make Asian eyelids distinct, and we use advanced techniques to create natural, balanced results that enhance your beauty while maintaining the integrity of your features. If you’ve ever noticed that some double eyelid surgeries look more natural than others, it’s because of how the crease is formed. Naturally occurring double eyelids have a crease that appears when the eyes open and softens when they close. Poorly executed surgeries can create a fold that stays visible even when the eyes are shut, making it look unnatural. Our team avoids this by using refined techniques like loop sutures and tissue mobilization to mimic how a natural eyelid moves. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our surgeons specialize in providing beautiful, natural Asian eyelid surgery results. Contact us at (888) 674-3001 to schedule your personalized consultation. Types of Double Eyelid Folds Everyone’s eyelids are different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to double eyelid surgery. That’s why we take the time to evaluate your unique features and help you choose the fold that complements your face best. 1. Infold This subtle crease sits lower than the epicanthal fold, making it a great option if you’re looking for a very natural enhancement. It’s often preferred by patients who want a refined yet understated change. Think of it as the “no-makeup makeup” of eyelid folds. 2. In-Out Fold The in-out fold starts at the inner corner of the eye, similar to the infold, but extends outward to create a more noticeable yet natural-looking crease. This type of fold blends subtlety with definition, making it a popular choice for patients who want a refined but not overly dramatic enhancement. It’s particularly well-suited for patients undergoing open incisional double eyelid surgery. 3. Outfold This crease sits above the epicanthal fold, creating a more prominent eyelid definition. This could be the right choice if you want a bolder, more noticeable fold. Choosing the Right Fold Height Fold height, or the distance between the lash line and the crease is crucial in achieving a harmonious look. The goal is to enhance your eyes naturally and flatteringly to your face shape. 1. High Fold A high crease works best for individuals with large eyes and strong eyelid muscles. It creates a striking, glamorous look but requires careful planning to ensure it doesn’t cause heaviness or ptosis (droopy eyelids). 2. Low Fold A lower crease is excellent for a softer, more natural look. It’s a good choice for those with smaller eyes or who prefer a minimal change. However, because the skin sits closer to the lash line, it may be more prone to hooding over time. 3. Ideal Fold The best fold height enhances your natural beauty while maintaining the proper function of your eyelid. Our surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery will work with you to determine the best approach based on your eye shape, muscle strength, and personal preferences. 4. Custom Fold Design Not all double eyelid folds fit into a standard category. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we emphasize a custom approach, considering factors like individual facial symmetry, existing eyelid structure, and long-term aesthetic goals. Whether a patient wants a combination of fold types or a completely bespoke solution, our surgeons tailor each procedure for a seamless and natural result. How Asian Eyelids Differ from Non-Asian Eyelids Asian eyelids have distinct anatomical features that set them apart from non-Asian eyelids. Understanding these variations helps ensure that enhancements are natural-looking and harmonious with a patient’s unique facial structure. Below, we break down the key factors that distinguish Asian eyelids from non-Asian eyelids. 1. Eyelid Crease One of the main differences between Asian and non-Asian eyelids is how the skin connects to the muscles underneath. In many Asian eyelids, the crease is lower or absent due to the position of the levator aponeurosis (the muscle that lifts the eyelid) and the presence of a thicker fat layer. This creates the characteristic “single eyelid” look. 2. Epicanthal Fold The epicanthal fold is the small piece of skin covering the eye's inner corner. It’s a defining feature of Asian eyelids, making the eyes appear farther apart. Some patients adjust this fold for a more open-eyed look while maintaining their natural beauty. 3. Lower Eyelid Feature (Aegyo-Sal) You might have noticed a subtle puffiness below the lower lash line in many youthful Asian eyes. Known as aegyo-sal in Korean, this feature adds a warm and friendly appearance. Unlike under-eye bags, which can make the eyes look tired, aegyo-sal is considered a desirable trait contributing to youthful expression. 4. Eyelid Muscle Function in Asian vs. Non-Asian Eyes Asian eyelids tend to have a smaller levator muscle (the muscle responsible for eyelid lifting) than non-Asian eyelids. This can lead to a higher incidence of ptosis (drooping eyelids) and affects how double eyelid surgery is performed. Our expert surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery take muscle strength into account to prevent post-surgery heaviness or eye fatigue. How Aging Affects Asian Eyelids Aging impacts Asian eyelids differently than non-Asian eyelids, mainly due to differences in skin thickness and fat distribution. 1. Upper Eyelids As we age, the skin and muscles around the eyes begin to loosen, which can lead to drooping and hooding. Since Asian eyelids naturally have more fat, they may start to feel heavier over time. This can sometimes result in the eyelid crease becoming less defined or even disappearing. . 2. Lower Eyelids Aging in the lower eyelid often leads to puffiness or hollowing. The fat pads that once supported the...

Call 888-674-3001 Get A Consultation How Do I Know If I Need Revision Double Eyelid Surgery? Not every double eyelid surgery achieves the desired outcome. Whether due to surgical errors, healing complications, or changes in aesthetic preferences, revision surgery can correct irregularities and restore balance. Common Reasons for Eyelid Revision Surgery: High Crease Eyelid Correction – A double eyelid crease that is too high can make the eyes look hollow, overly open, or unnatural. Revision surgery lowers the crease to create a softer, more proportionate appearance. Fixing a Botched Upper Eyelid Surgery – Poor surgical technique may lead to asymmetry, excessive scarring, or an eyelid fold that disappears over time. Revision surgery can correct these issues for a more balanced look. Eyelid Asymmetry Repair – If one eyelid crease is higher or more pronounced than the other, it can create an imbalanced appearance. Revision surgery adjusts the fold height, depth, and definition to match both eyelids. Scar Revision & Tissue Repositioning – Some patients experience visible scars or irregular healing from their first surgery. Specialized revision techniques like scar excision, fat grafting, or laser therapy can improve the eyelid’s appearance. Ptosis Correction (Drooping Eyelids) – If double eyelid surgery weakens the levator muscles, the eyelid may droop or sag, affecting both vision and aesthetics.

Double eyelid surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for younger East Asian individuals who want to enhance their natural features while keeping their look subtle and authentic. Unlike other forms of eyelid surgery that focus on aging concerns, this procedure is about creating a well-defined yet natural crease that complements the shape of your eyes. For many, it’s less about transformation and refinement—like tailoring a suit to fit perfectly rather than changing the whole outfit. Some patients want a more awake or expressive look, while others simply prefer the aesthetic of a double eyelid over a monolid. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we specialize in Asian cosmetic surgery and understand the unique artistry of creating a crease that looks effortless and natural. Our surgeons work with each patient to customize the procedure to enhance their features without looking overdone. Call (888) 674-3001 to schedule your personalized consultation.

Pee Wee Previous Next View More Testimonials Understanding Double Eyelid Surgery Double eyelid surgery isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure. How the eyelid is structured varies from person to person, which means the techniques used must be customized for the best, most natural-looking outcome. Asian eyelid surgery, for example, is a unique specialty, requiring a deep understanding of unique anatomical differences to achieve balanced, long-lasting results. Let’s take a closer look at what makes Asian and Caucasian eyelids different and what younger patients should consider before surgery. 1. Asian vs. Caucasian Eyelid Anatomy Not all eyelids are the same, so double eyelid surgery is more than just creating a crease. The difference between Asian and Caucasian eyelids comes down to key anatomical features. Most Caucasian eyelids naturally have a crease because the skin attaches higher up on the eyelid, creating a visible fold when the eyes open. Many East Asian eyelids lack this fold due to differences in how the muscles and skin connect. Additionally, Asian eyelids tend to have a bit more fat, which can weigh down the lid and make the eyes appear smaller or hooded. A skilled surgeon will consider all these factors, using techniques that respect your natural anatomy while helping you achieve the look you want. 2. Key Considerations for Younger Eyelid Surgery Patients Younger patients approach double eyelid surgery differently than older individuals. While older patients often seek eyelid surgery to remove excess skin or correct sagging, younger...

Pee Wee Previous Next View More Testimonials Understanding Eyelid Surgeries The goal of double eyelid surgery with ptosis correction is to address both aesthetic and functional concerns. Some patients think they just need a double eyelid procedure, only to discover that a weak eyelid muscle (ptosis) contributes to their droopy lids. If left untreated, this could affect the outcome. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we evaluate every patient carefully to determine the best approach, ensuring that a single procedure addresses both form and function. Why Choose Double Eyelid Surgery? Also known as Asian blepharoplasty, double eyelid surgery is a widely sought procedure, particularly among East Asian individuals who naturally lack a defined supratarsal crease or have only a faint fold. This feature is due to unique anatomical differences in the eyelid structure compared to other ethnicities. In East Asian eyelid anatomy, the —the muscle responsible for lifting the eyelid—attaches differently to the skin, often resulting in a smoother upper lid without a visible crease. Additionally, the orbicularis oculi muscle, which encircles the eye, tends to be thicker and more robust, contributing to a lower natural fold or the absence of one altogether. In East Asian eyelid anatomy, the levator aponeurosis—the muscle responsible for lifting the eyelid—attaches differently to the skin, often resulting in a smoother upper lid without a visible crease. Additionally, the orbicularis oculi muscle, which encircles the eye, tends to be thicker and more robust, contributing to a lower natural fold or the absence of one altogether. Caucasian eyelids typically have thinner skin, a different fat distribution, and a more prominent supratarsal crease. While double eyelid surgery is most commonly performed on East Asian patients, individuals of all ethnic backgrounds may seek this procedure to:Enhance the definition of their eyelid creaseReduce the heaviness or hooding of the upper lidImprove eye symmetry and overall balanceExpand their options for makeup applicationCreate a brighter, more open, and youthful eye appearanceAt Wave Plastic Surgery, we specialize in customized techniques that consider each patient's unique eyelid structure, ethnic identity, and aesthetic goals, ensuring a...

Double eyelid surgery, also called Asian blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that creates a natural-looking eyelid crease for those with monolids or poorly defined folds. For many, this procedure enhances the way their eyes look—making them appear larger, brighter, and more expressive—while still preserving their unique features. Some people are born with a naturally well-defined crease, while others don’t. If you’ve ever used eyelid tape or glue to create a temporary fold, you might be looking for a longer-lasting solution. That’s where double eyelid surgery comes in. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our expert surgeons specialize in precise, natural results that enhance rather than change your features. Whether you’re looking for a subtle fold or a more defined crease, we customize the procedure to suit your unique eyelid anatomy and aesthetic goals. Techniques For Double Eyelid Surgery There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to double eyelid surgery. That’s why we offer three different techniques, each tailored to different needs. Three main surgical techniques are used to create the double eyelid fold. Asian eyelid surgery is extremely specific and customized due to the inherent differences in anatomy, personal goals, and preferences. When choosing the most appropriate method, individual characteristics of the eyelids, such as the amount of excess skin, heaviness of the eyelids, asymmetry, ptosis, eye shape, as well as the type of double eyelid desired must be considered. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the best method based on your eyelid anatomy, desired outcomes, and recovery preferences. https://youtu. be/fKH6McVL3QI? feature=shared1. Full Incision MethodFor this method, a full incision is made along the upper eyelid to create the desired crease. Excess fat, muscle, subcutaneous tissue, and skin are removed. Fat resection should be conservative to avoid hollowing or sunken-in appearance. Fixation sutures are placed to connect the tarsus and levator muscle to the...

OR Call 888-674-3001 Facial Feminization Surgery At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Content Navigator What Is Facial Feminization Surgery? Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a plastic surgery procedure that changes your facial features. The goal is to reduce masculinized features and increase feminine shape. Transgender women and or non-binary trans individuals often pursue this type of procedure. FFS is a customizable procedure for each individual and may include all areas of the face and neck. FFS emphasizes restructuring of the bone structure, especially the jaw and chin area, which are primarily associated with masculine facial aesthetics. Because of this, one of the main procedures involved in Facial Feminization is mandible or jaw reduction. This is a technically advanced surgery that can be used to slim and soften the jawline. See more in our Facial Feminization Surgery Before and After Gallery The Role of Craniofacial Techniques in Facial Feminization Surgery Craniofacial techniques are a specialized approach used in FFS to address the underlying bone structure of the face. Since facial masculinization often includes prominent brow ridges, jaw angles, and forehead shapes, craniofacial surgery can significantly reshape these areas. By modifying these core structures, surgeons can achieve a softer, more rounded appearance that aligns with feminine facial characteristics. Craniofacial techniques are integral in ensuring that FFS results are both natural-looking and transformative. Facial Feminization Surgery Cost FFS is not covered by government healthcare. However, some insurance is now covering FFS from some surgeons. Costs for FFS are typically between $20,000 and $50,000, depending on the surgeon and the number of components involved. Individual procedures can also be performed independently to address areas that the patient and surgeon prioritize as most important. Insurance companies often categorize FFS as cosmetic surgery. FFS may have a greater effect on an individual’s mental health and social well-being. The medical field seems to gradually acknowledge FFS as a necessary component of transgender treatment rather than an optional and elective component. What Is the Purpose of Facial Feminization Surgery? Everyone has their own reason to ask about FFS. You may choose FFS if you meet the following criteria:Transitioning your gender from male to femaleYou are a cisgender woman who wants to feminize your facePossess a gender dysphoria diagnosisWhatever the reason is, it’s important to consult your doctor first. This is to ensure that you are a candidate for the surgery. Gender-Affirming Surgery and Its Impact on Transgender Health Facial feminization surgery is a significant part of gender-affirming care for many transgender individuals. The effects of FFS extend beyond aesthetics, as it contributes positively to mental health and social well-being by alleviating symptoms of gender dysphoria. Recognizing the growing importance of transgender health, many in the medical field now view FFS as an essential treatment rather than an elective procedure. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we are committed to supporting transgender health through specialized FFS options that help individuals feel more aligned with their true selves. Who Is Not a Candidate for Face Feminization Surgery? Not everyone can undergo this surgery. You are unsuitable for FFS if you meet the following criteria:Are under the age of eighteenHave unrealistic expectations about the outcomeHave a health problem that makes surgery riskySuffer from a mental health condition that affects your capacity to make sound decisionsFor many, FFS is an affirming procedure, marking a significant step in their journey toward change and embodying their true identity. The best way to know if you are fit for the surgery is to talk to your doctor.

Get A Consultation Call 888-674-3001 What Does FFS Entail? Masculine and feminine facial features overlap, but there are subtle distinctions that help us determine an individual’s gender. So, what is FFS surgery going to consist of? What areas will it target, and what techniques will be used throughout the process? Here are different surgical procedures of FFS: 1. Jaw Contouring Jaw contouring helps soften and feminize prominent masculine jawlines. The male jaw’s rear “corner” may be altered to be rounder and smoother. To make the jawline seem thinner, the bone may be shaved off at the bottom border of the jaw. Jaw contouring works by narrowing the face’s general breadth and shape. It also gently refines the jawline angles, and improves the overall proportions of facial features to create a more feminine appearance. Individuals with uneven or lopsided facial appearances benefit from this treatment. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=9CambFap3Cg&t=3s 2. Chin & Jaw Reduction Similar to Jaw Contouring, Chin and Jaw reduction surgery (genioplasty/mentoplasty) alters the form of a prominent chin. This treatment aims to restore natural equilibrium by lowering and reshaping the chin to make it:SmallerLess angularMore feminine lookingAnother procedure often used for chin contouring is a T-osteotomy. This entails cutting and removing a T-shaped section of the bone and then fusing the remaining chin bones together. It is difficult to fix both a square jaw and a thin "V-Line" shape to the chin without using this method. See more in our Before and After Gallery 3. Lift The Brows The form and location of the brow's "tail" are more essential than its total height for an aesthetically appealing look. As we grow older, the volume of our face in the temple region diminishes. Luckily, natural filler, such as the patient's own body fat, can fix this. Brow lift surgery is often done under...

What is Wave IV Nutrient Therapy? https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=9oCZV9W4hhE&t=44sWAVE IV Nutrient Therapy - Immunity uses a sterile saline solution as its base, effectively hydrating the body while delivering essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream. This method allows your body to quickly absorb and fully utilize these nutrients, helping to boost your immune system, restore energy, strengthen bones, and prevent memory decline, among other health benefits. How is IV Nutrient Therapy different than oral supplements? When we drink water, energy drinks, or take vitamins orally, only a small amount of nutrients is actually absorbed into the bloodstream—most are lost during the digestive process. However, with intravenous therapy, the digestive tract is bypassed, allowing the necessary nutrients to go directly into the bloodstream for faster, more direct absorption, making it much more effective. What are the benefits of Wave IV Nutrient Therapy? The primary function of Wave IV Nutrient Therapy is to enhance the body’s energy and immune system. It not only restores energy but also provides better defense against diseases, helping you stay healthier and happier.

### Mounjaro at Wave Plastic Surgery: A Modern Solution for Effective Weight Loss

A Modern Solution for Effective Weight Loss With Mounjaro At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Mounjaro At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Have Questions? Call 888-674-3001 to speak to our experts now Mounjaro at Wave Plastic Surgery: A Modern Solution for Effective Weight Loss For many, achieving weight loss means eating less and moving more. Yet, even with dedication, our body’s unique physiology can sometimes challenge our efforts. While popular methods like keto, carb cycling, and intermittent fasting have helped some, Mounjaro—a medication originally developed for diabetes—has emerged as an innovative option for weight loss. This treatment is now a go-to choice among Hollywood stars, supermodels, and tech industry leaders looking for scientifically backed results. We’ll explore how Mounjaro works to help reduce caloric intake, lower insulin levels, and curb appetite from a medical perspective. By medically managing insulin secretion and naturally suppressing appetite, Mounjaro allows for a more controlled and effective approach to weight loss. Many users report feeling full and energized, even with fewer calories, making it easier to maintain a calorie deficit without fatigue or cravings. What Exactly is Mounjaro? Mounjaro is a groundbreaking medication that aids in weight loss by targeting both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, making it a dual-action treatment for controlling blood sugar and appetite. By engaging these two receptors, Mounjaro enhances insulin secretion, which helps manage blood glucose levels and naturally reduces hunger. To break it down, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1):A hormone that not only helps control blood sugar but also suppresses appetite, making you feel full sooner. On the other hand, GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) boosts your metabolism by promoting fat breakdown and providing energy, which is essential for maintaining your vitality even with a reduced calorie intake. Together, these two mechanisms support an efficient weight loss journey by minimizing hunger and sustaining energy levels. Understanding how insulin and glucagon work can also help clarify Mounjaro’s effects. Insulin is secreted to lower blood sugar when it’s high, aiding in muscle and fat storage. Conversely, glucagon releases stored energy when blood sugar is low, breaking down fat and protein. By activating both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, Mounjaro promotes a balanced approach to glucose regulation and appetite control, contributing to effective weight loss. Watch this video for more on how Mounjaro workshttps://www. youtube. com/watch? v=wE-D3cSUyLg&t=1s Check out our monthly specials from WAVE Plastic Surgery Learn More The Advantages of Mounjaro Compared to other popular weight loss medications like Saxenda, Ozempic, and Wegovy, Mounjaro stands out for its dual-action approach. Unlike other treatments that target only the GLP-1 receptor, Mounjaro targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. This dual mechanism provides a more potent effect on insulin secretion and blood sugar control, which translates to enhanced appetite suppression and better weight loss outcomes. Why GLP-1 and GIP MatterStudies show that GIP complements the effects of GLP-1 by boosting insulin secretion and regulating blood sugar even more effectively. The combination of GLP-1 and GIP not only improves glucose control but also enhances the body’s metabolic response, making Mounjaro a stronger option for those aiming for effective and sustained weight loss. The Results of Mounjaro Mounjaro has shown remarkable weight loss results, especially among those with a BMI of 27 or higher with obesity-related conditions, or a BMI of 30 or more. Clinical studies have reported that Mounjaro can help individuals achieve weight reductions of up to 22. 5% of their body weight, making it one of the most effective options currently available. In addition to its role in weight loss, Mounjaro positively impacts blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and lipid levels, particularly for patients with Type 2 diabetes. By slowing down the stomach’s emptying process, Mounjaro helps users feel fuller for longer, reducing food intake naturally. Its unique ability to regulate blood sugar through both GLP-1 and GIP receptors has earned Mounjaro FDA approval for blood sugar management in Type 2 diabetes, and it’s increasingly recognized as a powerful option for weight loss as well. The Pros and Cons of Mounjaro Pros: Effective for Weight Loss: Mounjaro’s dual-action targeting of GLP-1 and GIP receptors makes it a powerful tool for reducing body weight while controlling blood sugar levels. Many users experience significant weight loss with minimal lifestyle changes. Convenient Weekly Dosing: Mounjaro is administered once a week, making it easier to stay consistent. Its single-use pens are portable and easy to use, allowing for flexibility with injection timing. FDA-Approved for Type 2 Diabetes: As the only medication approved to target both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, Mounjaro offers enhanced blood sugar control while minimizing hypoglycemia risk and supporting heart health. Cons: Potential Side Effects: Some users may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, including nausea, constipation, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. This is due to the slower digestion rate associated with Mounjaro’s action on intestinal contractions. Not Suitable for Everyone: Mounjaro is not recommended for individuals with thyroid disease, heart disease, kidney or liver issues, or a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). It’s also unsuitable for pregnant women and those with severe allergies to its ingredients. Is Mounjaro Right for You? As with any medication, it’s essential to use Mounjaro under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Consulting with a doctor helps ensure that your dosage aligns with your health profile, minimizes side effects, and optimizes your weight loss journey. Get Your Consultation Today Book a consultation to learn if Mounjaro is right for you. Our team at Wave Plastic Surgery is here to discuss the best approach to weight loss treatment for you. Visit one of our locations in California. Call 888-674-3001 Get A Consultation How to Administer Mounjaro Mounjaro is a convenient, self-administered injection that can be given subcutaneously (under the skin) in areas such as the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure safe and effective use: 1. Injection Technique: To administer Mounjaro, gently pinch the skin at the injection site and hold it steady.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Facial Feminization Surgery At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Content Navigator What Is Facial Feminization Surgery? Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a plastic surgery procedure that changes your facial features. The goal is to reduce masculinized features and increase feminine shape. Transgender women and or non-binary trans individuals often pursue this type of procedure. FFS is a customizable procedure for each individual and may include all areas of the face and neck. FFS emphasizes restructuring of the bone structure, especially the jaw and chin area, which are primarily associated with masculine facial aesthetics. Because of this, one of the main procedures involved in Facial Feminization is mandible or jaw reduction. This is a technically advanced surgery that can be used to slim and soften the jawline. See more in our Facial Feminization Surgery Before and After Gallery The Role of Craniofacial Techniques in Facial Feminization Surgery Craniofacial techniques are a specialized approach used in FFS to address the underlying bone structure of the face. Since facial masculinization often includes prominent brow ridges, jaw angles, and forehead shapes, craniofacial surgery can significantly reshape these areas. By modifying these core structures, surgeons can achieve a softer, more rounded appearance that aligns with feminine facial characteristics. Craniofacial techniques are integral in ensuring that FFS results are both natural-looking and transformative. Facial Feminization Surgery Cost FFS is not covered by government healthcare. However, some insurance is now covering FFS from some surgeons. Costs for FFS are typically between $20,000 and $50,000, depending on the surgeon and the number of components involved. Individual procedures can also be performed independently to address areas that the patient and surgeon prioritize as most important. Insurance companies often categorize FFS as cosmetic surgery. FFS may have a greater effect on an individual’s mental health and social well-being. The medical field seems to gradually acknowledge FFS as a necessary component of transgender treatment rather than an optional and elective component. What Is the Purpose of Facial Feminization Surgery? Everyone has their own reason to ask about FFS. You may choose FFS if you meet the following criteria:Transitioning your gender from male to femaleYou are a cisgender woman who wants to feminize your facePossess a gender dysphoria diagnosisWhatever the reason is, it’s important to consult your doctor first. This is to ensure that you are a candidate for the surgery. Gender-Affirming Surgery and Its Impact on Transgender Health Facial feminization surgery is a significant part of gender-affirming care for many transgender individuals. The effects of FFS extend beyond aesthetics, as it contributes positively to mental health and social well-being by alleviating symptoms of gender dysphoria. Recognizing the growing importance of transgender health, many in the medical field now view FFS as an essential treatment rather than an elective procedure. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we are committed to supporting transgender health through specialized FFS options that help individuals feel more aligned with their true selves. Who Is Not a Candidate for Face Feminization Surgery? Not everyone can undergo this surgery.

Get A Consultation Call 888-674-3001 What Does FFS Entail? Masculine and feminine facial features overlap, but there are subtle distinctions that help us determine an individual’s gender. So, what is FFS surgery going to consist of? What areas will it target, and what techniques will be used throughout the process? Here are different surgical procedures of FFS: 1. Jaw Contouring Jaw contouring helps soften and feminize prominent masculine jawlines. The male jaw’s rear “corner” may be altered to be rounder and smoother. To make the jawline seem thinner, the bone may be shaved off at the bottom border of the jaw. Jaw contouring works by narrowing the face’s general breadth and shape. It also gently refines the jawline angles, and improves the overall proportions of facial features to create a more feminine appearance. Individuals with uneven or lopsided facial appearances benefit from this treatment. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=9CambFap3Cg&t=3s 2. Chin & Jaw Reduction Similar to Jaw Contouring, Chin and Jaw reduction surgery (genioplasty/mentoplasty) alters the form of a prominent chin. This treatment aims to restore natural equilibrium by lowering and reshaping the chin to make it:SmallerLess angularMore feminine lookingAnother procedure often used for chin contouring is a T-osteotomy. This entails cutting and removing a T-shaped section of the bone and then fusing the remaining chin bones together. It is difficult to fix both a square jaw and a thin "V-Line" shape to the chin without using this method. See more in our Before and After Gallery 3. Lift The Brows The form and location of the brow's "tail" are more essential than its total height for an aesthetically appealing look. As we grow older, the volume of our face in the temple region diminishes. Luckily, natural filler, such as the patient's own body fat, can fix this. Brow lift surgery is often done under...

OR Call 888-674-3001 Buccal Fat Removal At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Buccal Fat Removal in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Some people feel like their cheeks are too big and make their face look round. This is often the result of large buccal fat pads in the cheeks. Reshaping the cheek by removing buccal fat can help a person achieve their goal look. Our board-certified plastic surgeons in Los Angeles offer both Buccal Fat Removal to reduce cheek size and help our patients achieve the sculpted, angular look that they want. Call 888-674-3001 How Does Buccal Fat Removal Work? The layer of fat around the cheek area is called buccal fat. This feature can be hereditary or can develop over time, causing a rounded, chubby or ‘chipmunk’ appearance. Reducing buccal fat through a cheek reduction surgery will give the face a more contoured, shapely aesthetic. Wave's expert Plastic Surgeons can help you achieve a more balanced, refined look. Many patients desire a slimmer, more refined shape to their lower face. Men prefer a more chiseled, masculine jawline, while women want a more delicate, angular lower face. This can often be achieved through buccal fat excision. The goal of buccal fact excision is to reduce the fullness in the cheeks. Although younger individuals often have more roundness in cheek hollows and it is seen as a sign of youth, some patients feel that this makes their face appear too full. The buccal fat is a naturally occurring pocket of fat in the submalar area. The fat in this area has a very distinct appearance, and its function is unknown. There are no known deficits from its removal. The amount of buccal fat varies with each individual patient. The procedure may be performed alone, or in conjunction with facelift Technique The reduction of buccal fat pad is usually performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. The typical approach for removing the buccal fat pad is through a minimal incision along the bite line, near the second molars. The underlying tissues are then dissected to expose the main body of the buccal fat. Once visualized, the fat in gently teased out while gentle pressure is applied externally. The fat is then cauterized at the base and removed the incisions are sutured. Typically the procedure takes about 30 minutes to complete, after which the patient is then discharged home. Recovery Patients typically have minor discomfort as the intraoral incisions heal for a few days. Swelling can typically last for a couple of weeks. Self absorbing sutures are used The final results can take up to 3 months to manifest. Our Buccal Fat Removal Specialist Peter Lee M. D. , F. A. C. S.

With the high demand for top-tier results, patients in the City of Angels can trust that they are receiving cutting-edge care from experts like the specialists at Wave Plastic Surgery. This competitive environment ensures that individuals seeking blepharoplasty are met with the highest standards of excellence, helping them achieve the aesthetic enhancements they desire. Wave Plastic Surgery Los Angeles Plastic Surgery Center Visit Us in LA What Can Blepharoplasty Correct? Blepharoplasty is a highly effective procedure designed to address a variety of cosmetic and functional concerns around the eyes. Some of the key issues it can correct include: Sagging Eyelids As we age, the skin around the eyes loses elasticity, leading to droopy, sagging upper eyelids. Blepharoplasty tightens and lifts the skin, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Puffy Under-Eye Bags The buildup of fat and fluid beneath the eyes can cause unsightly puffiness. Eyelid surgery can remove or reposition this fat, creating a smoother, more rested look. Drooping Lower Eyelids Blepharoplasty can correct lower eyelids that droop and expose too much of the white of the eyes, restoring a more balanced and natural appearance. Excess Skin and Fine Lines Loose skin and fine lines around the eyes can make the face look tired or aged. By removing excess skin, the procedure can smooth wrinkles and give the eye area a rejuvenated look. Improved Vision In some cases, drooping upper eyelids can obstruct a person’s vision. Blepharoplasty not only enhances appearance but also improves vision by removing the excess skin that may be blocking sight. This procedure helps clients regain confidence and feel revitalized, making it a popular choice for those seeking both aesthetic and functional improvements. Types of Blepharoplasty We Offer Understanding what to expect before and after blepharoplasty can help you prepare for the procedure and ensure a smooth recovery. Here’s a detailed look at the process:Upper Eyelid SurgeryThis procedure focuses on correcting sagging skin on the upper eyelids, which can not only make the eyes appear tired but may also impair vision. By removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding muscles, upper eyelid surgery enhances the eye’s appearance, providing a more youthful and alert look while potentially improving vision. Lower Eyelid SurgeryLower eyelid surgery is designed to eliminate puffy bags under the eyes, often caused by the natural shifting of fat and fluid over time. This procedure smooths the under-eye area, creating a firmer and more youthful contour. It is ideal for those who want to address dark circles and puffiness for a refreshed appearance.

Dr. Ben Lee was incredibly understanding and patient for my nitpicking and anxiety during the entire process. He let me express my needs and wants and made me feel extremely comfortable. There was only honesty and encouragement for anything I had questions about. I had an amazing consultant who I now consider as a friend, caring nurses that made checked up on me as much as they could. I wouldn’t have gone to any other surgeon! Lisa Su Dr. Lee was very personable, took the time to really study my case, and gave me specific and knowledgeable recommendations. My final product was far better than I ever could have imagined. I highly recommend his services! Kimmottone I went last Saturday for double eyelid and up-lift eyes surgeries. It was not as pain as I thought, the total surgery time around 45 mins to 1 hr. It's been three days already, and I felt recovery very well. Thank you Dr. Lee. I will recommend this place if anyone wants to do plastic surgery. Johnny H. I came in for a double eyelid surgery and I absolutely loved it. I have a very low pain tolerance but the IV fluids and local anesthesia made the surgery very tolerable. The staff was super friendly and cool! I loved how they answered numerous questions I had which calmed my nerves! 10/10 would recommend! Allison S. My friend introduced me to Wave for double eayelid surgery. She had done it a few years ago and it looked so natural and nice. So I made an appointment and had a consultation yesterday. The place was easy to find and they validated the parking ticket. First, I was a little confused because they were using two different suites on the 2nd floor. Later, I found out that one was for surgery and the other one was for consultation. The staff was friendly, office was nice and huge. they had pretty Christmas decorations too. :) I was seen by the "consultant" first. She showed me several before and after pictures and explained about the surgery, and etc. But I wanted to meet the doctor as well since she is not the one who will perform the surgery. Therefore, this consultant took me to the other suite where they have surgery rooms and exam rooms. It was a little bit of a hassle going back and forth between two different suites. I had to wait about 15mins then Dr. came in for a consultation. He didn't spend that much time with me but he knew what I wanted and He had confidence about what he was doing. Basically, he said the same things about the surgery as the consultant already explained to me earlier. The quote they gave me was a little higher than other plastic surgeries I've been to, but I understand that Dr. is board-certified and they had two surgery rooms that were certified as well. I'm still thinking about whether I should have surgery or not, but overall I like this place and would recommend it to my friends. J. K. Since the first time I came to Wave, doctors and staff all gave me a warm welcome. I did my double eyelid surgery with Dr. Peter Lee. which was the best decision I ever made. My eyes were recovering slower than others. During that time I was a little concerned. But Dr. Lee took really care of me. After six months, my results actually turn out really good. Big thanks to Dr. Lee. Definitely will recommend Wave to my friends and family. Emily Ma I did a lot of research on where to get my double eyelid surgery and decided to go with Dr. Lee after meeting with multiple doctors for consultations. I am so glad I went with Wave because the entire experience was even better than I could have imagined. There was minimal to zero pain throughout the...

But that's all I met Dr. Lee before, he seems like has some kind of power to make me trust him. I am turning to 50 next year; I used a lot of anti-aging products to apply on my face many layers every night. Then I found out the skin care product only can help me maintain the health of the skin and prevent further damage but can't make me looks younger. I decided to get the help from the plastic surgery, I went several plastic surgery center in Koran Town they all told me face lifting will help me. Honestly I don't have medical back ground and I have no idea how to choose; I am so worried about the scar. Luckily Wave staff arrange me had a Dr. consult with Dr. Lee, about my concern he told me he will make a careful incision starting within my hairline above the ear, travelling down in front of the ear, and then finishing behind the ear, tracing down to the hairline at the back of the neck, the scar almost invisible after recovery. I had my surgery done in February; I just finished my 6-month follow-up yesterday. Now my face is more lifted, my eyes more bright and light, and overall my looks very natural and youthful. The most concerning scar was totally covered by my hair as Dr. Lee told me. Thank you Dr. Lee I am more confident now.

High Extended SMas Face & Neck Lift At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? High Extended SMas Face & Neck Lift At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? SMAS Face & Neck Lifts in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Orange County As we age, our skin begins to lose elasticity, and the tissues and muscles underneath the skin also loosen, causing sagging and drooping. Both facial skin and underlying muscles must be corrected to reverse these signs of aging. Simply suspending the skin with threads or strings may not achieve the desired look. Tightening and re-suspending the tissue under the skin, known as the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) and the platysma, can reposition your facial structures and lift the tissues to give you a more youthful appearance. But what exactly is a SMAS facelift, how does it work, and who is this procedure best suited for? Let’s explore these questions and more below.

Daisy Switzer Previous Next View More Testimonials Understanding the High Extended SMAS Face & Neck Lift The high-extended SMAS face and neck lift is a sophisticated procedure that goes beyond the capabilities of a traditional facelift (rhytidectomy). While a traditional facelift primarily addresses loose skin and skin laxity, this advanced SMAS facelift technique targets the deeper layers of the face and neck, including the SMAS layer, which is composed of facial muscles, fascia, and ligaments. This technique provides a more comprehensive and long-lasting facial rejuvenation by lifting and tightening the underlying structures of the face and neck. The goal of the facelift is to restore the various facial tissues and structures back to their normal anatomical position. Related: Facelift Vs. Neck Lift ProceduresCosmetic procedures like facelift surgery only deal with the lower two-thirds of the face and neck. The upper third of the face – including the eyelids – is part of a different region that may require additional facial cosmetic surgery procedures to correct. The goal of the facelift is to restore the various facial tissues and structures back to their normal anatomical position. What is the SMAS Layer? The SMAS layer is a network of facial muscles and connective tissues that play a crucial role in the overall structure and appearance of the face and neck. As mentioned, the SMAS layer can become lax over time, leading to sagging skin, jowls, and other signs of aging. The high-extended SMAS face & neck lift addresses this layer, effectively improving facial and neck contours and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging for a natural, rejuvenated appearance. How Does it Work? The SMAS comprises vertical muscle bands that attach the lower face, jawline, and neck muscles. Lifting this tissue allows a plastic surgeon to address these problem areas simultaneously. Repositioning the SMAS, rather than just the superficial layer of skin, ensures that the muscles responsible for slight facial expressions are positioned typically and look natural. Extended SMAS Facelifts vs. High SMAS FaceliftsExtended SMAS Facelifts focus on the neck and jawline. High SMAS Facelifts lift the cheeks and jowls. Depending on your surgeon's recommendation, these SMAS facelift procedures can be performed together or separately. Who Is A Good Candidate For AHigh Extended SMAS Face & Neck Lift? The high-extended SMAS face & neck lift is an advanced facelift procedure designed to provide comprehensive rejuvenation by addressing the deeper layers of the face and neck.

FAQ Specialized Eyelid Surgery at Wave Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San FranciscoAre you interested in changing the shape of your eyes? Do you ever see someone with big, beautiful eyes and think, “I wish my eyes were more like that? ” If so, we’ve got good news for you. Eye enlargement surgery, also known as epicanthoplasty, can help you achieve the eye shape you desire. This cosmetic procedure is designed to change or widen your eye shape, enhancing your overall appearance. But what exactly is epicanthoplasty, and who should consider this type of surgery? This guide will walk you through everything you need to know. Related: Can Surgery Make Your Eyes Bigger? What is Epicanthoplasty? The epicanthal fold is a natural feature of the eye, formed by excess skin at the inner corner, which is connected to underlying connective tissue and lower eyelid muscles. In some cases, a heavy epicanthal fold can create a narrower or more closed-eye appearance and prevent the formation of a natural outfold crease. Epicanthoplasty is often performed alongside double eyelid surgery to carefully adjust or reduce the epicanthal fold, allowing for a more open and balanced eye shape without excess tension or scarring. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer different types of epicanthoplasty, each designed to enhance eye shape while maintaining natural harmony with your facial features. Our expert eyelid surgeons specialize in Asian eyelid surgery, customizing each procedure to align with the patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Types of Epicanthoplasty There are two primary types of epicanthoplasty, each targeting different areas of the eye to achieve specific aesthetic goals: 1. Medial Epicanthoplasty (Inner Corner Eye Surgery): This technique focuses on reshaping the inner corner of the eye by releasing or adjusting the epicanthal fold. It is ideal for patients with a prominent or heavy fold that covers too much of the inner eye, making the eyes appear shorter or closer together. Best for:Patients with close-set eyes who want to widen the space between them visually. Those with a prominent epicanthal fold hide the natural tear trough area, creating a smaller eye appearance. Individuals undergoing double eyelid surgery as it helps create a smooth, natural eyelid crease without excessive tension or scarring. For patients with sharper or more angular facial features, a more extensive release of the epicanthal fold can soften their appearance and create a brighter, more inviting look. 2. Lateral Epicanthoplasty (Outer Corner Eye Surgery): Lateral epicanthoplasty extends and reshapes the outer corners of the eyes, enhancing their horizontal length and overall proportion to the face. By adjusting the outer canthus, this procedure elongates the eyes and creates a more defined, almond-like shape. Best for:Patients with rounder facial features who want to contrast their softer face shape with more defined, elongated eyes. Those with shorter or upturned eyes who want a wider, more balanced appearance. Individuals looking for a subtle yet noticeable eye enlargement without altering their natural ethnic identity. For those with already wide eyes, a more conservative lateral epicanthoplasty can refine and balance the outer corner of the eyes, preventing an overly elongated or artificial appearance. The almond-shaped eye is a defining characteristic of Asian beauty, and preserving this aesthetic is a priority. Rather than entirely removing the epicanthal fold, our expert surgeons use precise, minimally invasive techniques to reshape it in a way that enhances eye openness, maintains ethnic identity, and complements each patient’s unique facial structure. Related: Changing Your Eye Shape With Wave Plastic Surgery https://youtu. be/4SHSpqr73Io? feature=sharedTo figure out which type of epicanthoplasty is right for you, contact Wave Plastic Surgery today to schedule your personalized consultation at 888-674-3001. Before and After Patient Gallery Seeing is believing.

These images showcase the transformative effects of eyelid surgery and can help you set realistic expectations for your results. Previous Next See The Transformation Gallery What Is The Epicanthal Fold? The epicanthal fold or epicanthus, commonly referred to as the “Mongolian fold,” is a skin fold and distinct characteristic of the upper eyelid that stretches across the inner corner of the eye, partially covering the inner canthus (the area where the upper and lower eyelids meet). This fold is a standard anatomical feature unique among many people but is most popularly known as a distinct characteristic of individuals of Asian descent. The epicanthal fold can vary in size and prominence, often contributing to the characteristic eye appearance associated with these ethnicities. While it is a natural and common feature, the degree to which it affects the appearance of the eyes can differ significantly among individuals.

ULTHERAPY En Wave Plastic Surgery ¿NECESITA UNA CONSULTA? Ultherapy En Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Encontrar un mejor precio para la Ultherapy? Igualaremos ese precio ¿TIENE PREGUNTAS? ¿TIENE PREGUNTAS? WAVE ES EL PROVEEDOR DE ULTHERAPY EN EL TOP 5 NACIONAL ULTHERAPY EN LOS ÁNGELES, EL CONDADO DE ORANGE Y SAN FRANCISCO Hubo una vez un tiempo en el que la única forma de tensar la piel que envejece y cuelga era someterse a una cirugía. Ahora, con los avances en la tecnología de ultrasonido, puedes levantar y tensar tu rostro para obtener un aspecto más joven sin necesidad de cirugía. Ultherapy es un nuevo procedimiento no quirúrgico que ha sido autorizado por la FDA para proporcionar a hombres y mujeres lo que se llama un lifting facial no invasivo. Llama al 866-536-4835 ¿CÓMO FUNCIONA ULTHERAPY? https://youtu. be/q7mVLHwiAlc El secreto de Ultherapy es la energía ultrasónica. Este tratamiento de rejuvenecimiento facial no invasivo utiliza energía ultrasónica focalizada para estimular el propio proceso de curación natural de tu cuerpo. Ultherapy apunta a las capas estructurales más profundas de tu piel, lo que proporciona un efecto de levantamiento y tensado para tu rostro y cuello. La tecnología de ultrasonido te permite lograr estos resultados sindañar la superficie de tu piel. Y los tratamientos de Ultherapy solo toman alrededor de una hora para completarse. ¡No esperes más, programa tu tratamiento de Ultherapy hoy mismo! UNA VISTA RÁPIDA DE CÓMO SE VE EL TRATAMIENTO ULTHERAPY Ultherapy funciona enviando energía ultrasónica al área de tratamiento, más comúnmente la frente, mentón, cuello o pecho. Estas ondas ultrasónicas crean un efecto cálido suave en el área específica. La energía ultrasónica estimula el tejido facial. Esto proporciona un efecto de tensión inmediato y notable que reduce la apariencia de líneas finas y arrugas. En los próximos meses, Ultherapy también aumenta la producción de colágeno, dando a la piel una apariencia más tonificada y juvenil. https://youtu. be/8Di1Tkfnx0c PRUEBA VIRTUALMENTE ULTHERAPY New Look Now se ha asociado con Wave para brindarte el Visualizador Ultherapy. ¡Pruébalo ahora! Prueba la imagen de ultherapy con una foto antes y después en una pantalla de computadora ¿Alguna vez te has preguntado cómo podrías lucir después de un tratamiento de Ultherapy? ¡Ahora puedes "probar" tu tratamiento subiendo tu foto! PRUÉBALO AHORA ¡WAVE ES EL PRINCIPAL PROVEEDOR DE ULTHERAPY EN EL MUNDO! Ulthera®, Inc. ha otorgado el Premio Visionario Ultherapy® 2010-2015 a Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center por ser la práctica principal de Ultherapy® en los Estados Unidos durante cinco años consecutivos. WAVE Plastic Surgery también tiene el honor de recibir el premio FAB 5 de Ulthera, el premio más alto otorgado a los cinco mejores proveedores de Ultherapy en la nación en 2019. Estamos orgullosos y honrados de ser considerados uno de los principales proveedores de Ultherapy® en el mundo. Ofrecemos Ultherapy® en el sur de California y garantizamos el precio más bajo en Ultherapy®. Llama a nuestra oficina hoy para programar tu consulta con uno de nuestros cirujanos plásticos certificados en Los Ángeles. ¿CUÁNTO TIEMPO SE TARDA EN VER RESULTADOS CON ULTHERAPY? Es posible que notes un impulso inicial visible en la apariencia de tu rostro justo después de tu tratamiento, pero los resultados solo mejorarán con el tiempo. El efecto de la energía ultrasónica estimula la producción de colágeno y elastina de tu cuerpo, llenando naturalmente las arrugas superficiales y tensando áreas de piel flácida o caída. Tu piel gradualmente parecerá más joven y más tensa en el transcurso de 2-3 meses, ayudando a mejorar problemas como papadas, arrugas faciales, bandas en el cuello y piel flácida. ¿ES ULTHERAPY ADECUADO PARA MÍ? Es importante tener expectativas realistas al considerar Ultherapy. Debido a que es una alternativa no invasiva a la cirugía, está destinado a hombres y mujeres con signos menos severos de envejecimiento. Aquellos que experimentan cantidades significativas de piel flácida y arrugas profundas pueden no poder obtener los resultados deseados con Ultherapy. Durante tu consulta, escucharemos tus expectativas y analizaremos tu piel. En algunos casos, la cirugía puede ser la mejor opción. Un lifting facial o un lifting de cuello pueden brindarte los resultados duraderos que deseas. TENSA TU LÍNEA DE LA MANDÍBULA CON ULTHERAPY Ultherapy es especialmente efectivo para tensar la piel suelta bajo la barbilla y alrededor de la línea de la mandíbula. Estimular la producción de colágeno en esta área puede darte una apariencia más firme y tonificada alrededor del cuello. Porque Ultherapy funciona utilizando el propio colágeno natural de tu cuerpo en lugar de rellenos o inyecciones, los resultados lucirán naturales. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=2DZjFMdNuao FOTOS ANTES Y DESPUÉS DE ULTHERAPY ¡Ve más resultados de Ultherapy en nuestra galería Antes y Después! ! PRE-TRATAMIENTO DE ULTHERAPY: Evita los AINE/Anticoagulantes 1 semana antes del tratamiento. Evita agentes tópicos irritantes (retinol, HQ) durante 1 semana antes del tratamiento.

Pyramid Rejuvenation with Dermal Fillers At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Pyramid Rejuvenation with Dermal Fillers At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Pyramid Rejuvenation by Dr. Peter Lee: Achieve Full Face Transformation with JUST Dermal Fillers https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=5-S0lerJwBs&t=26s%20Real Wave Patient Testimonial Achieve the Impossible, Without the incision The beauty of facial enhancement doesn't just lie in the procedure itself, but in the skillful art of understanding, analyzing, and delivering results that resonate with an individual's unique needs. At Wave Plastic Surgery, under the esteemed leadership of Dr. Peter Lee, we have pioneered the Pyramid Rejuvenation technique by bringing together decades of experience and insights from tens of thousands of filler injections. Call 888-674-3001 Pyramid Rejuvenation: 9-syringe Dermal Filler Pyramid Rejuvenation: 5-syringe Dermal Filler Why Pyramid Rejuvenation Stands Out 1. Masterful Application of Dermal Fillers: With Dr. Lee's unparalleled expertise and innovative technique, it's no longer about just filling lines. It's about reshaping, redefining, and rejuvenating the entire face. 2. All-Encompassing Analysis: Outside In: Recognizing the face's external aesthetics to strategize targeted enhancements. Inside Out: Leveraging the facial anatomy's depth, from the bony structure to the soft tissues, paving the way for comprehensive rejuvenation. 3. Desirable Contours: Achieve the sought-after inverted egg shape — a harmonious balance between a fuller top face and refined lower contours. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=zHv1esdTG6I&t=28s%20What is Pyramid Rejuvenation Technique and Why Is It Different? The Wave Difference Individual Analysis: Your face is unique. We recognize and celebrate this individuality by meticulously evaluating your facial anatomy and aesthetics to draft a treatment plan that resonates with you. Customized Injection Plan: No two faces are alike, and neither are their filler needs. Drawing upon our extensive experience with a myriad of fillers, we customize a blend best suited to achieve the desired transformation for your face. Dramatic Yet Natural Transformation: While the results are profound and transformative, we prioritize ensuring that they are harmoniously aligned with your natural aesthetics, offering a rejuvenated version of you. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=qXrtTB8B85M&t=69s%20Worried about too much filler?

Client Testimonials I recently had a facelift performed by Dr. Peter Lee, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final follow-up appointment, Dr. Lee and his team provided outstanding care and attention to detail. Dr. Lee's expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, address all my concerns, and set realistic expectations. His warm and approachable demeanor made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision. I highly recommend Dr. Peter Lee for anyone considering a facelift. His skill, artistry, and dedication to patient satisfaction are truly exceptional. Thank you, Dr. Lee, for helping me achieve such wonderful results! Alany Chu I had a lower facelift, neck lift, and lower blepharoplasty (lower eyelid) done. Dr. Ben Lee was simply outstanding. My lower eyelids were drooping and I had eyebags too. He was able to tighten the skin around my lower eyelid and extend upper double eyelid so my eyes would look natural and beautiful. I am completely happy with the surgery. The staff were amazing too. I highly recommend them. Joyce Tung The staff and the doctors are so personable and friendly. I love the face, neck and lower eye lid lifts; I look refreshed and I look over 10 years younger. It was money well spent. Dr Ben Lee did an awesome job and my face looks so natural. I recommend Wave Plastic Surgery for any of the specialties they offer. Vicki Bolanis Peter Lee is a miracle worker. I had a bad facelift which Dr. Lee corrected. This was no small thing. Staph scars were deep into one side of my neck, climbing onto my face. I had no feeling in part of my cheek and I was very self conscious about the severe asymmetrical nature of my face. Worse, though I'd paid for a neck life, none was done. So when I came to WAVE I was very nervous, covered in scars, and lacking symmetry. 6 weeks ago I had my face redone and it is lovely. The scars are gone and the stitches were so perfect Dr. Lee could do side work with couture! I had very minimal discomfort and followed the directions to find myself with a gorgeous jaw line and much improved face. I am so glad I took the time to find this place. They are lovely, lovely people and I could not be happier with my results.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This comprehensive procedure targets several key areas:Sagging Skin: Tightens and lifts loose skin for a firmer appearance. Deep Folds: Smooth out deep nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth. Jowls: Reduces the appearance of jowls for a more defined jawline. A facelift can address these issues and help restore a youthful and refreshed facial appearance, enhancing appearance and confidence.

The benefits of a facelift extend beyond simply looking younger; it can enhance your overall appearance and significantly boost your self-confidence. Here are some key benefits:Youthful Appearance: A facelift can significantly reduce the signs of aging, making you look years younger. It tightens sagging skin, smooths deep folds, and enhances facial contours. Improved Confidence: Many patients report a boost in self-esteem and confidence following their facelift surgery, feeling more comfortable and satisfied with their appearance. Long-lasting Results: Unlike non-surgical treatments, the results of a facelift can last for many years, providing a durable solution to facial aging. Natural Look: Advances in facelift techniques ensure a more natural and balanced appearance, avoiding the “windswept” look often associated with older methods. Who Is A Good Candidate For Facelift Surgery? Understanding the ideal candidate profile starts with deciding if a facelift is right for you. Ultimately, one of the expert surgeons at WAVE will discuss this with you in great detail. Until then, here is some information that might help you decide if you’re a good fit for this procedure. You’re experiencing signs of facial aging, such as sagging skin, deep creases, and jowls. You are a non-smoker in good overall health, as smoking can impede healing and affect the results. If you’re a smoker, one of our surgeons will discuss potential solutions and expectations. You’re looking for long-term solutions for facial rejuvenation rather than temporary fixes, as facelifts offer more permanent results than non-surgical treatments.

Tubal Ligation in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Tubal ligation, also known as tubal sterilization or "getting your tubes tied," is a surgical procedure used for permanent birth control. The procedure involves blocking the fallopian tubes, which prevents the eggs from reaching the uterus and becoming fertilized. This is a highly effective form of contraception, with a success rate of over 99%. Laparoscopic tubal ligation is a minimally invasive form of this procedure that uses a tiny camera, called a laparoscope, to see into the abdomen. Laparoscopic tubal ligation is a highly effective form of contraception that can provide permanent birth control that offers no hormonal side effects and a quick recovery time. If you are considering laparoscopic tubal ligation, contact us today to schedule a consultation with WAVE Plastic Surgery. Call 888-674-3001 Read More How Does Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation Work? Laparoscopic tubal ligation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves making a small incision in the umbilical area through which a laparoscope is inserted. The laparoscope is a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light attached to it, which allows the surgeon to view the fallopian tubes on a screen. Once the surgeon has a clear view of the fallopian tubes, they will make a 5mm incision and use a surgical instrument to seal the tubes. This prevents the eggs from reaching the uterus and being fertilized by sperm. Because the incision is so small, it is often unnoticeable once fully healed. The minimally invasive technique also leads to a quick recovery time, leading some to call this a Friday-Monday Surgery, meaning that if you have it on Friday, you will be able to go back to work on Monday. Benefits of Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation Laparoscopic tubal ligation is a highly effective form of contraception, with a success rate of over 99%. Some of the other benefits of the procedure include: Permanent birth control: Once the fallopian tubes are blocked or sealed, the woman will no longer be able to conceive naturally. No hormonal side effects: Unlike hormonal birth control methods, laparoscopic tubal ligation does not affect a woman's hormones or menstrual cycle. Quick recovery time: Since the procedure is minimally invasive, most women are able to return to normal activities within a few days. The Tubal Ligation Process Laparoscopic tubal ligation is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, which means you will not need to stay in the hospital overnight. The procedure typically takes less than an hour to complete. Here's what to expect from the procedure. Preoperative Evaluation A preoperative evaluation is required prior to all surgical procedures. This involves a complete Medical history and Physical exam. A number of issues will be determined at that time. These include problems that may delay or indicate that the surgery cannot be performed for medical reasons. Some examples include: heart problems that had not been previously discovered chronic illness such as anemia or HIV bleeding problems This examination can be performed by your personal Physician. All Lab work and reports will be sent to the surgeon for review prior to the meeting. Should a review of these reports indicate that there is a problem, the surgical team will discuss their concerns and formulate a plan with the involvement of the private Physician. This keeps the patient from undergoing an unnecessary trip prior to a problem being corrected. Day of Surgery On the day of surgery, the patient will arrive at the Surgical Center approximately one hour prior to their scheduled procedure. Our Board Certified Anesthesiologists will discuss the types of anesthesia available and if the patient has any allergies. An IV will be started, and once the patient is under anesthesia, they will be taken to the operating room. The Operation Tubal Ligation is the surgical closure of the Fallopian tubes so that sperm & an egg cannot meet, resulting in fertilization & thus, pregnancy. The procedure may be done shortly after childbirth, which is called a Postpartum Tubal Ligation. It can also be performed when the patient is not pregnant and has not recently delivered a child. This is called an Interim Tubal Ligation. The Interim Tubal Ligation is a "day surgery" procedure, meaning that the patient goes home the same day as the procedure was performed. The surgery consists of placing a 5 mm( 1/2 cm) incision in the umbilical area with a second incision in the area of the pubic hair. The surgeon will make these cuts so that they cannot be seen after the procedure is completed. The umbilical incision will be hidden in the normal creases in the umbilicus (belly button). The lower cut is hidden by the pubic hair, which is shaven before the procedure. When the hair grows back, the incision will be imperceptible. The surgeon will use a laparoscope in order to see inside of the abdomen so that a precision cut can be made to the Fallopian tubes. This procedure takes about 20 minutes to perform. The recovery time for this procedure is about 1 1/2 hours. The patient is then sent home with pain medication and returns in 5 days to have the sutures removed. Recovery & Post-Operative Care Following surgery, the patient will be monitored for about one to one and a half hours. There will be no bandages to change or tubes in the bladder. Pain medication will be given in the recovery room...

OR Call 888-674-3001 Urinary Incontinence At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Urinary Incontinence Surgery in Los Angeles, Orange County & San Francisco Urinary incontinence is a common problem in which a person experiences an involuntary loss of urine. Fortunately, it can often be treated effectively through surgery. With proper care and attention, you can regain control over your bladder and enjoy an improved quality of life. Living with urinary incontinence can be incredibly inconvenient and disruptive. But this condition doesn't have to control your life. WAVE Plastic Surgery can help you improve your bladder control and regain your freedom. Call 888-674-3001 Read More Types of Urinary Incontinence Urinary Incontinence (UI) refers to the inability to control urination or the loss of bladder control. This is a prevalent condition that can vary in severity from a minor inconvenience to a significant disruption to daily life. With appropriate treatment, however, UI can be effectively managed and improved. There are several types of Urinary Incontinence, som of the most common are: Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) occurs when a person loses control of their bladder when coughing, sneezing, lifting, or doing other athletic activities. All of these activities involve an increase in abdominal pressure, which can cause the leakage of urine. True Stress Incontinence requires surgical repair. There are a number of different procedures which can cure this problem. These options will be discussed with the patient during the evaluation and examination. At that time, the best procedure for the patient's particular problem will be chosen. Urgency Incontinence The second type of incontinence is called Urgency Incontinence. This occurs when urine leaks from the bladder without warning or provocation. Muscle tightening exercises (Kegels) and surgical intervention are not effective for this type of incontinence, in fact, they may make it worse. However, Urgency Incontinence may be treated with medication with excellent results. Mixed Incontinence The third type of incontinence is called Mixed Incontinence which is a combination of both Stress and Urgency Incontinence. The treatment for Mixed Incontinence may require a combination of surgery and post-operational medication. Types of Urinary Incontinence Surgery There are several different surgical options for treating urinary incontinence, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Some of the most commonly performed procedures include: Sling Procedure The sling procedure is typically performed on women with stress incontinence and can be done as an outpatient procedure. This technique involves placing a supportive sling made of synthetic material under the urethra to support it and prevent leakage. Bladder Neck Suspension The Bladder Neck Suspension technique involves the use of sutures or synthetic mesh to lift and support the bladder neck, which is the point where the bladder meets the urethra. This procedure is also typically performed on women with Stress Incontinence and can be done as an outpatient procedure. Transobturator Sling Procedure The Transobturator Sling Procedure is another outpatient procedure used to treat women with Stress Incontinence. Similar to the Sling Procedure, the Transobturator Sling involves the placement of a synthetic sling through the obturator foramen, a small opening in the hip bone. The Urinary Incontinence Surgery Process The experience of urinary incontinence surgery will vary depending on the type of procedure you're undergoing and your individual health history. In general, however, you can expect the following: Preoperative Evaluation The Preoperative Evaluation involves a complete Medical history and Physical exam. During this examination, the doctor will determine the degree of prior vaginal trauma and the type of repair required to achieve the desired results. All Lab work and reports will be sent to the surgeon for review prior to this meeting. Should a review of these reports indicate that there is a problem, the surgeon will reach out to discuss their concerns and formulate a plan with the involvement of the private Physician. This avoids the possibility of the patient having to undergo an unnecessary trip prior to a problem being corrected. The need for use of a Laser for this procedure will be determined at this time. Day of Surgery On the day of surgery, the patient will arrive at the Surgical Center approximately one hour prior to their scheduled procedure. Our Board Certified Anesthesiologists will discuss the types of anesthesia available and if the patient has any allergies. An IV will be started, and once the patient is under anesthesia, they will be taken to the operating room. The Operation The Urinary Incontinence procedure consists of incisions being made in the vaginal opening and the inside of the vagina. Of course, the patient will be asleep throughout the entire procedure. Incisions will be made at the bottom of the vaginal opening and along the bottom of the vaginal floor. Assuming this is the procedure that best will repair the problem. Other procedures relieve Stress incontinence which consists of elevating the bladder either by performing a sling procedure or by making a small incision in the lower abdomen & elevating the bladder from above. The decision as to which procedure will best repair the existing problem will be determined at the time of the pre-operative examination. Recovery & Post-Operative Care Following surgery, the patient will be monitored for about one to one and a half hours. There will be no bandages to change or tubes in the bladder....

OR Call 888-674-3001 Vaginal Tightening At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Vaginal Tightening in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Surgical vaginal tightening is a procedure that is performed to tighten the vaginal canal and surrounding tissues. It is also known as vaginal rejuvenation or vaginoplasty. Vaginal tightening can be necessary to reverse the effects of pregnancy, menopause, aging, or simply genetics. While there are many non-surgical options for vaginal tightening, surgical vaginal tightening is a more permanent solution for those who are looking for immediate and long-lasting results. Surgical vaginal rejuvenation is a highly specialized and delicate procedure that requires expertise and precision. If you are considering this procedure, it is important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon. With the right preparation and care, surgical vaginal rejuvenation can be a life-changing experience. Call 888-674-3001 Read More What is Surgical Vaginal Tightening? Vaginal tightening is the surgical procedure used to repair of the vaginal opening and the inside of the vagina. Some women are concerned that the vaginal opening is too large, and they no longer have the same sensations that they used to have during intercourse. The reasons for this problem can include: Childbirth Childbirth is the number one reason people seek out a vaginal tightening procedure. Childbirth can result in the formation of Episiotomies (cuts sometimes made by the baby's head) are repaired following the birth. However, sometimes the repair is less than satisfactory in that the tissues do not come together completely, leaving a wider opening than before the delivery. There can be extensive tearing during a delivery, and this can lead to a vaginal opening and interior much larger than before. Weight Gain/Weight Loss Weight gain and weight loss can change the size of the vaginal interior, which can affect sensation during intercourse. After rapid weight loss a person's skin and tissues can lose elasticity. As with other parts of the body, the vagina undergoes a similar change. This is caused by a loss of collagen in the skin. A change in the skin's elasticity can affect the vaginal and surrounding labial tissues, which can lead to decreased tightness, loss of sensation, and even urinary incontinence. Aging During the body's natural aging process, it is normal to experience sagging skin as a result of collagen loss. Many women begin to see a change in their vagina’s elasticity starting in their forties as their estrogen levels begin to drop during the perimenopausal stage and become more prevalent during menopause. Sexual Partner In some cases, a change in sexual partners may lead to a desire to reconstruct the vagina to be either larger or smaller to accommodate a new partner. The Difference Between Vaginal Tightening & Labiaplasty Vaginal Tightening (or Vaginoplasty) and labiaplasty are both surgical procedures that are performed on the female genitalia, but they differ in their goals and the specific parts of the genitalia that they target. Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that is done to tighten or reconstruct the vagina. It is typically performed on women who have experienced significant stretching or damage to the vaginal muscles, often as a result of childbirth or other medical conditions. The procedure involves removing excess tissue and tightening the vaginal muscles to improve the strength and tone of the vagina. Labiaplasty, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure that is done to alter the appearance of the labia minora, which are the inner folds of skin that surround the vaginal opening. The goal of the procedure is to reduce the size or reshape the labia minora for cosmetic reasons or to alleviate discomfort caused by excessively large or asymmetrical labia. In summary, vaginoplasty is a procedure that focuses on the vaginal canal and is performed to improve vaginal function and tighten the vaginal muscles, while labiaplasty focuses on the external genitalia and is performed to alter the appearance of the labia minora for cosmetic or functional reasons. WAVE Plastic surgery offers both Vaginoplasty and labiaplasty procedures. To learn more about Labiaplasty, please visit our Labiaplasty Page. Benefits of Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation There are several benefits of surgical vaginal tightening, including: Improved sexual satisfaction: Many women report that they experience increased sexual satisfaction and pleasure after undergoing surgical vaginal tightening. Improved self-confidence: Vaginal looseness can affect a woman's self-confidence and self-esteem, and surgical vaginal tightening can help to restore these feelings. Reduced incontinence: Surgical vaginal tightening can help to reduce incontinence, which is a common problem for many women. Improved appearance: Surgical vaginal tightening can help to improve the appearance of the vaginal area, which can be a source of self-consciousness for some women. The Vaginal Tightening Process Vaginal tightening is the surgical procedure used to repair of the vaginal opening and the inside of the vagina. Some women are concerned that the vaginal opening is too large, and they no longer have the same sensations that they used to have during intercourse.

The ability to take years off of one’s appearance is appealing, but there is a perception that the recovery is difficult and that it can result in a distorted, overly tight appearance. To support a safer and more effective outcome, medical advancements have been integral. In response to this, plastic surgeons have developed techniques that result in a more natural appearance. These newer techniques have been around for decades and rely on moving deeper anatomic structures back to where they used to be rather than on pulling on the skin alone. This is based on the realization that a surgeon can pull on the skin as hard as they choose, but it can never create a more natural-appearing, more youthful appearance. In the early 1970’s a facial layer known as the SMAS, a fibrofatty tissue that is closely associated with the facial muscles, was described. Surgeons soon learned that by tightening this layer, a more natural and long-lasting result could be obtained. There were several evolutions of SMAS lifting techniques, from limited SMAS plication to the highest evolution, the high SMAS lift. The latter involves the careful elevation of the SMAS with a division of the retaining ligaments that adhere it to the underlying bony structures. This is a difficult dissection with critical nerves and blood vessels nearby and is therefore a type of facelift that should only be attempted by the most skilled of facelift surgeons. The high SMAS lift requires additional expertise due to the close proximity of important anatomical structures. Surgeons performing these lifts must work meticulously to avoid damaging these structures. The effort is worth it as it results in the most complete mobilization and repositioning of the aging facial structures. Because it is so comprehensive, however, the recovery can be extensive. The Cure Lift S is Dr. Ben Lee's personal evolution of the SMAS facelift, one that combines his experience performing the high SMAS technique and the lateral SMASectomy, two of the more popular advanced techniques. It is a limited incision facelift that requires less dissection than the high SMAS lift, yet allows more lifting along the jawline. This approach provides a full rejuvenation effect by utilizing the best resources and techniques available. As the mini facelift incisions are minimal, there is less dissection of the SMAS. As a result, there is theoretically less bleeding, and therefore less bruising and swelling. This usually results in less healing time than the traditional facelift, making it a favorable option in terms of recovery time. The procedure can be performed at our office under general anesthesia or better yet, with IV sedation and local anesthesia. Patients can often be presentable in public in 7-10 days.

ABDOMINOPLASTIA EXPERTOS EN ANTIEDAD RECONOCIDOS GLOBALMENTE PROGRAMA TU CONSULTA Nombre* Apellido* Teléfono*Email* CAPTCHACommentsThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged. O Llame 888-674-3001 Abdominoplastia A Wave Plastic Surgery PROGRAMA TU CONSULTA El índice Abdominoplastia En Los Ángeles, Condado De Orange Y San Francisco Si ha tenido hijos o ha perdido una cantidad significativa de peso, es posible que tenga un exceso de piel colgando de su abdomen. Esto sucede porque su piel se ha estirado durante un período de tiempo, ya sea debido al embarazo o al aumento de peso. Cuando nace el bebé o se pierde la grasa, la piel permanece estirada. Las personas a menudo pasan horas probando entrenamientos locos que afirman ayudar a tensar la piel flácida, pero debido a la pérdida de elasticidad, realmente no existe una dieta o ejercicio que pueda ayudar a restaurar de manera efectiva una apariencia y sensación más firme. Una abdominoplastia puede ayudar a eliminar la protuberancia del exceso de piel para brindarle el abdomen liso y plano que desea. ¡Vea más resultados de la abdominoplastia en nuestra Galería de Antes y Después! ¿Es La Abdominoplastia Adecuada Para Mí? Sufrir de piel flácida alrededor del abdomen puede ser muy molesto para una persona. Ponerse la ropa que desea puede resultar incómodo y lucir su abdomen en la playa no está en su lista de cosas por hacer. La mayoría de los pacientes de abdominoplastia que vemos en Wave Plastic Surgery son madres que buscan recuperar la confianza y sentirse bien al llevar un bikini a la playa. También vemos a varias personas que han perdido una cantidad significativa de peso pero se quedan luchando con la carga de la piel colgando. Es una buena idea para las mujeres que estén considerando hacerse una abdominoplastia cuando tengan hijos. Si bien aún puede quedar embarazada de manera segura después del procedimiento, tener un bebé puede revertir los resultados de la abdominoplastia. Un error común es que las personas piensan que una abdominoplastia funciona para eliminar el exceso de grasa. Si esto es lo que está buscando, es posible que necesite una liposucción. La abdominoplastia es estrictamente para eliminar el exceso de piel abdominal. Sin embargo, una abdominoplastia se puede combinar con una liposucción para tratar ambos problemas. ¿Cómo Funciona Una Abdominoplastia? Para aplanar su vientre y lograr una apariencia tensa, es necesario eliminar el exceso de piel. Durante su consulta, examinaremos su abdomen y determinaremos la extensión de la cirugía que necesitará. Es posible que algunas personas solo necesiten una mini abdominoplastia, mientras que otras se beneficiarán más del procedimiento completo. Esto dependerá de en qué parte del abdomen se produzca la flacidez de la piel y de su gravedad. Para eliminar el exceso de piel, se realizará una incisión horizontal debajo del ombligo, lo suficientemente baja para que las futuras cicatrices se puedan ocultar fácilmente debajo de un traje de baño o un par de ropa interior. Luego, uno de nuestros médicos reparará la pared abdominal subyacente, fortaleciendo los músculos para una base sólida. Si bien una abdominoplastia no está diseñada para tratar la grasa rebelde, la liposucción se puede realizar durante la cirugía estética para eliminar cualquier grasa persistente que pueda residir en su abdomen. Una vez que hayamos reparado las estructuras subyacentes de su abdomen, tiraremos cuidadosamente de la piel para lograr una apariencia tensa, recortando cualquier exceso de piel y tejido sobrante. Vida Después De La Abdominoplastia La recuperación de la abdominoplastia llevará algún tiempo. Asegúrese de poder tomarse unas semanas libres del trabajo y tómelo con calma en casa. Si bien notará un aplanamiento inmediato de su abdomen, algunos hematomas e hinchazón iniciales le impedirán ver los resultados finales. Sí, al principio habrá una cicatriz significativa, pero se desvanecerá y se aplanará drásticamente con el tiempo. En unas pocas semanas, su abdomen aparecerá naturalmente más tenso y desaparecerá el exceso de piel. Muchos de nuestros pacientes anteriores hablan de cómo se sintieron mucho más cómodos con su ropa vieja después de su procedimiento y cómo estaban ansiosos por comprar ropa nueva que mostrara sus nuevos cuerpos. La abdominoplastia ha demostrado ser un procedimiento que cambia la vida y ayuda a hombres y mujeres a recuperar el control de sus cuerpos. https://youtu. be/HoE2yyKcKZY El Procedimiento De La Abdominoplastia Los pacientes suelen irse a casa el mismo día del procedimiento de abdominoplastia. Los resultados serán evidentes de inmediato, sin embargo, la hinchazón y los hematomas pueden tardar varias semanas en desaparecer. Resultados De La Abdominoplastia Una abdominoplastia puede ayudar a mejorar el contorno del abdomen y el área de la cadera al aplanar el estómago y crear una silueta más delgada y elegante.

Después de todo, la idea de eliminar el molesto exceso de grasa de un área de su cuerpo para mejorar y remodelar sus glúteos es una excelente opción. En la cultura actual, tener unos glúteos redondos y firmes es el objetivo de muchas mujeres, pero algunas simplemente no pueden lograr la forma que desean. Un levantamiento de glúteos brasileño con nuestros cirujanos plásticos de Los Ángeles puede ayudarle a sentirse más segura usando cualquier cosa, desde un bikini hasta unos jeans. ¡Vea más resultados, el antes y el después, del levantamiento de glúteos brasileño en nuestra galería! ¿Qué es un Levantamiento de Glúteos Brasileño? El levantamiento de glúteos brasileño es un tipo de procedimiento de aumento de glúteos que utiliza la propia grasa de su cuerpo, en lugar de implantes de silicona, para mejorar la forma y el tamaño de sus glúteos. Para hacer esto, uno de nuestros cirujanos plásticos en Wave Plastic Surgery tomará células grasas no deseadas de otras áreas de su cuerpo, como su espalda, muslos o abdomen. La liposucción se utiliza para eliminar estas células grasas y prepararlas para inyectarlas en los glúteos. Debido a que el procedimiento utiliza el propio tejido existente de su cuerpo, el procedimiento es seguro y se sabe que brinda resultados de apariencia muy natural. Luego, uno de nuestros médicos realizará cuidadosamente la transferencia de grasa inyectando las células de grasa recolectadas en el área de los glúteos para mejorar su forma y tamaño. Durante su consulta, se discutirán sus expectativas y objetivos para que entendamos qué es lo que busca lograr y cómo brindarle los mejores resultados posibles. Candidatos ideales para la cirugía de levantamiento de glúteos brasileño No todo el mundo es adecuado para un levantamiento de glúteos brasileño. Algunas personas pueden requerir implantes además de su transferencia de grasa para lograr la forma deseada. Aquellos que carecen de exceso de grasa pueden no tener suficiente tejido graso del donante para el procedimiento de transferencia. Muchos pacientes pueden lograr mejores resultados combinando implantes de glúteos con el levantamiento de glúteos brasileño. Los candidatos ideales para la cirugía de levantamiento de glúteos brasileño de transferencia de grasa serán las personas que no estén satisfechas con la apariencia de la parte inferior de su cuerpo. Muchas personas optan por la cirugía de levantamiento de glúteos brasileño para verse mejor con la ropa o aumentar su confianza en sí mismas. Los principales beneficios de la cirugía de levantamiento de glúteos brasileño incluyen: Mejorar el tamaño y la forma de las nalgas Eliminar el exceso de grasa Levantar la nalga inferior Adelgazar y contornear la forma del cuerpo Si no está satisfecho con los resultados de depender de la dieta y el ejercicio para mejorar la forma de la parte inferior de su cuerpo, un levantamiento de glúteos brasileño podría ser adecuado para usted. Recuperación de la cirugía de levantamiento de glúteos brasileño Dependiendo de la cantidad de tejido graso transferido y de dónde se extrajo la grasa del donante, necesitará entre 10 y 14 días para recuperarse de su procedimiento. Puede tomar algún tiempo para que baje la hinchazón, pero antes de que se de cuenta, notará su nueva forma y querrás lucir tu nueva silueta en la playa. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=NDuev1wwWq4&t=11s El Procedimiento De Levantamiento de Glúteos Brasileño El uso de la técnica de injerto de grasa para una cirugía de levantamiento de glúteos brasileño produce resultados de apariencia más natural con el beneficio adicional de eliminar el exceso de grasa alrededor de la sección media para mejorar los efectos de contorno corporal del tratamiento. Durante el procedimiento, el cirujano utilizará una liposucción para eliminar la grasa de las caderas, el estómago y los muslos. Luego, estos depósitos de grasa se purifican mediante el proceso de injerto de grasa doble pura de WAVE. Luego, la grasa procesada se inyecta en áreas específicas de los glúteos para crear una apariencia más redondeada y completa. Luego se aplicará una prenda de compresión en el área de tratamiento. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=JWKATVkE5PA Resultados Del Levantamiento de Glúteos Brasileño Un levantamiento de glúteos brasileño puede ayudarle a deshacerse de los depósitos de grasa rebeldes en su sección media y mejorar el tono y la forma de su trasero.

Desafortunadamente, varios de estos cambios pueden conducir al desarrollo de bolsas de grasa rebeldes que parecen casi imposibles de eliminar. Si está luchando con áreas localizadas de grasa que no mejoran con opciones de estilo de vida saludables, la liposucción puede ayudarlo a obtener el cuerpo más delgado por el que ha estado trabajando. Llame 888-674-3001 EL TRAYECTO DE LIPOSUCCIÓN DE KELLY EDEN EN WAVE https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=FgAHspC7s24&t=4s LA LIPOSUCCIÓN PUEDE AYUDAR A DESHACERSE DE LA GRASA RESISTENTE Muchos hombres y mujeres luchan con áreas problemáticas de grasa. Tal vez estés tratando de perder una papada, aplanar tu barriga o deshacerte de esos obstinados gorditos, pero tus esfuerzos en el gimnasio y la cocina no parecen ser suficientes. A menudo, esto es el resultado de los cambios de tu cuerpo, volviéndose cada vez más resistente a los métodos tradicionales de pérdida de peso como la dieta y el ejercicio. La liposucción funciona mejor para aquellos que ya están sanos, pero están luchando por perder esos últimos kilos. No pretende ser un procedimiento de pérdida de peso ni una alternativa a la dieta y el ejercicio. Es importante que continúe con un estilo de vida saludable después de su procedimiento de liposucción para mantener los resultados duraderos que desea. Las personas a menudo se enfrentan a áreas problemáticas de grasa almacenada debido a: Un metabolismo más lento Sentarse en un escritorio durante ocho o más horas al día Una dieta no saludable Falta de actividad física Varias áreas diferentes se pueden tratar con liposucción, incluidas las siguientes: Cara Caderas y gorditos Brazos Barbilla Abdomen Muslos Glúteos ¡Vea más resultados, el antes y el después, del levantamiento de glúteos brasileño en nuestra galería! ¿CÓMO FUNCIONA LA LIPOSUCCIÓN? Una vez que esté cómodamente sedado, su cirujano plástico certificado por la junta hará con cuidado pequeñas incisiones en el área de tratamiento. Luego insertaremos una cánula (tubo delgado y hueco) a través de la incisión para que llegue a la capa de grasa subyacente. La cánula, que está conectada a una aspiradora quirúrgica en el otro extremo, luego se maniobra con cuidado para ayudar a romper los depósitos de grasa y eliminarlos de su cuerpo. El proceso de liposucción debe realizarse con cuidado y de forma artística para evitar una apariencia antinatural y efectos secundarios innecesarios. Nuestros médicos continuarán eliminando el exceso de grasa hasta que hayan logrado los resultados deseados. REGRESO A LO NORMAL DESPUÉS DE LA LIPOSUCCIÓN Déle a su cuerpo algo de tiempo para sanar después de su procedimiento. Es probable que experimente algunos hematomas o hinchazón, pero notará una figura mucho más delgada casi de inmediato. Debería poder regresar al trabajo después de 1 a 3 semanas, según el área que se trató y la cantidad de grasa que se eliminó. Recuerde, el hecho de que la grasa se haya ido para siempre no significa que la grasa nueva no regresará si adopta un estilo de vida poco saludable después del procedimiento. Los resultados de su liposucción pueden ser extremadamente duraderos siempre que mantenga una actividad física regular y elija una alimentación saludable. Ahora que tiene su nuevo cuerpo más delgado, puede disfrutar de actividades que antes temía, como ir a la playa o comprar ropa nueva.

EYE ENLARGEMENT SURGERY At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? SEE HOW AN EYE ENLARGEMENT SURGERY WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THE WORLD If you are considering surgery to make your eyes bigger, you may be a good candidate for our double eyelid surgery. This cosmetic surgery procedure is known as an eye lift or Blepharoplasty, on both the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure removes excess skin from the upper lids and lower lids of the eye to give a more youthful and awake appearance and makes the eye look more prominent and broader. While an eye enlargement surgery performs typically for aesthetic reasons, it can also improve sight due to sagging skin and droopy eyelids being in the way of your vision. If you pair this procedure with laser resurfacing, fillers, or forehead and brow lift, you will see a significant improvement in your facial appearance. Eyelid Surgery Asian Double Eyelid Surgery Wave Plastic Surgery is board certified and operates out of a fully accredited surgical center offering so many ways to enhance your appearance, especially eye enlargement surgery. Wave's doctors are experienced and well-reviewed, so you know that you're in trustworthy hands with the most proficient and caring surgeons and technicians. Read More Subscribe to Receive Exclusive Email Specials CONSIDER AN EYE ENLARGEMENT SURGERY FROM WAVE The appearance of the eyes is based on mood, genetics, and the aging process. The aging process equates to a loss in skin elasticity and paired with the effects of gravity, and skin accumulates on the upper and lower eyelids. This skin can cause wrinkles and bulges that can overhang the lids. Even the fat between the eyeball and skull can cause bulges in both the upper and lower eyelids. This fat also deteriorates over time and can affect the appearance of the eyes. Consider if you are a good candidate for this procedure. You want to be in good health and don't want to have unrealistic expectations. While most candidates are 35 years or older, if your poor eyelid appearance is hereditary, you may need the surgery even sooner. It's crucial that you manage your expectations and discuss your goals with your surgeon. It is also essential that you have no severe eye conditions as well. Upper eyelid surgery lasts at a minimum of five to seven years. The lower lid surgery may last a lifetime. Through this time, your eyes will still experience some aging. If your lids continue to sag, a forehead lift may be necessary. AN EYE ENLARGEMENT SURGERY WILL ENHANCE YOUR APPEARANCE When you get an eye enlargement surgery, you should not drive yourself home. You'll be staying home for several days post-surgery to heal and recover. You may want to have specific items on hand: ice packs, gauze pads, artificial tears, and doctor recommended painkillers to minimize any side effects or discomfort. It's easier to do your Make-up You look more well-rested and less tired Get a more vibrant, dramatic look Create more attractive, almond-shaped eyes Look younger by removing drooping skin There are different kinds of anesthesia for the procedure, depending on the type of procedure you get. If you get just an upper eyelift, you could get local anesthesia, but lower lid surgery may require IV sedation. https://youtu. be/V4ThZe0jPog Asian Double Eyelid surgery results on a real WAVE Patient. See more on our Before & After gallery! Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Enlargement Can Surgery Make My Eyes Bigger? If your eyes are not as large as you would like, plastic surgery can help. There are a few surgical methods that can give your eyes a larger, more dramatic appearance. Upper eyelid surgery involves removing excess skin and minimizing the bulge in the interior corner of the eye. Lower eyelid surgery is done to address the fatty pockets below the eyelashes. This can give your eyes a larger appearance and help you look more youthful and vibrant. Does insurance cover Eyelid Surgery? Health Insurance companies generally do not include plastic surgery that is done for cosmetic purposes. However, if there is a medical necessity for eyelid surgery, it may be covered. If a medical doctor conducts a vision test that confirms this necessity, an insurance company may cover it. What is Blepharoplasty? Blepharoplasty is the medical term for eyelid surgery. The purpose of the surgery is to remove the excess fat and sagging skin from the upper and lower eyelids. What is Epicanthoplasty? Epicanthoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes the ‘Mongolian Fold’ that covers the inner corner of the eye. This Epicanthal fold may obstruct a significant portion of the inner eye. This can make the eyes look narrow and too far apart. Epicanthoplasty gives eyes the appearance of being more prominent and vibrant. What is Canthoplasty? Canthoplasty is a cosmetic procedure used to reconstruct and reshape the outer corner of the eye. Canthoplasty is a lower-eyelid surgery that makes the eyes look softer and more almond-shaped. It also acts as a face-lift to the under-eye area by giving a person the appearance of being more well-rested and rejuvenated. How long does it take to Recover from Eyelid Surgery? The eyelid surgery is ambulatory, so patients return home the day of the surgery. After 5 days, the sutures are removed, and any swelling will quickly subside. The swelling usually dissipates completely 2 weeks after the Blepharoplasty. Patients typically return to work a week after the surgery. What is the average cost of Blepharoplasty? The average price for eyelid surgery, or Blepharoplasty, is around $4,000 for upper eyelid surgery and $5,000 for lower eyelid surgery. Most Plastic Surgeons will bundle upper and lower eyelid surgery for a discounted price. Will Blepharoplasty get rid of the dark circles under my eyes? Dark circles or “bags” under the eyes are treated with lower eyelid surgery if they are the result of shadowing due to bulging or fat or sagging skin. If the dark circles are the result of pigmentation changes, skin lightening creams...

Als Injections From Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? ALS Injections at Wave Plastic Surgery ALS is a noninvasive alternative to liposuction for small to medium size pockets of subcutaneous fat. It is Wave’s proprietary solution of medications designed to cause gradual disintegration of the cellular membranes of fat cells, thereby causing them to release the fatty acids they contain into the bloodstream. Over time, the remnants of the dying fat cells are then digested by the macrophages of the immune system and carried away from the target area of treatment. The treatment is performed using a long thin needle or to deliver the medication underneath the skin directly into the fat pocket. The ALS solution itself contains local anesthesia, and the short procedure is generally very well tolerated by patients. Following the procedure, there can be a small amount of residual swelling and moderate inflammation for one to two days. The number of sessions required depends on the size of the pocket of fat being treated. The sessions are usually separated by one to two weeks and there is no downtime or recovery time associated with the procedure.

### Mid Facelift Procedure

Mid Face Lift At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? MID FACELIFTS IN LOS ANGELES, ORANGE COUNTY AND SAN FRANCISCO A mid-facelift, or cheek lift, corrects early signs of aging in the area between your lower eyelids and your mouth. As you age, the effects of gravity, repeated muscle contraction, and sun exposure causes the skin, fat, and muscle to move downward. When this occurs, the cheeks begin to look saggy or flat, the lower eyelids become puffy or hollow, and circles begin to appear under the eyes. The lines between the nose and the corners of the mouth also deepen. A mid-facelift can address these issues by elevating the underlying tissue beneath the cheeks. This rejuvenates the midface area, giving you a refreshed, rejuvenated look. Call 888-674-3001 WHAT IS A MID FACELIFT AND HOW DOES IT WORK? A mid-facelift (also called a cheek lift) restores the natural curves and fullness of the cheeks by moving the underlying soft tissue back to its normal, more youthful position. This is achieved by elevating the soft mid-face tissue from the bone, repositioning it upward towards the eyes, and fixating it in place until it adheres naturally to the bone. This is achieved by using the Endotine mid-face device. This restores cheek volume and establishes younger-looking mid-face contours. The result will be a natural, revitalized appearance that doesn’t look overdone or too pulled. When performed skillfully, a cheek lift will deliver a natural, but noticeable more youthful improvement. A mid-facelift is often performed with other surgeries, such as a lower facelift, eyelid surgery, or a brow lift. However, for many younger patients under 45 years old, mid-face suspension can be a standalone procedure. Comparing Mid-Facelift and Mini Facelift? Not sure if a mid-facelift is the best choice for your goals? You’re not alone. Many patients compare mini and mid-facelifts to decide what level of lift is right for them. We’ve created a detailed breakdown to help you understand the differences in recovery, results, and candidacy. Compare mini facelift vs mid facelift. The Mid Face Lift Procedure So, what is a mid facelift procedure like for those unfamiliar with the process? During a mid-face suspension procedure, your cosmetic surgeon will carefully make small incisions in the area above the ear or the lower eyelid and, in some cases, through the underside of the upper lip. A small endoscope and other specially designed surgical instruments are introduced through the incisions to lift the delicate mid-face tissues off the cheekbones. Once lifted, these tissues are repositioned upward (toward the eye) and to the side (toward the ear). https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=SAq7tNg9FvYMid-face suspension surgery is often performed under IV sedation. Patients typically return home on the same day. Surgical dressings, if used, are removed soon after surgery, and any tissue swelling related to the procedure gradually diminishes. HOW MUCH DOES A CHEEK LIFT COST? When inquiring about the cost of a good cheek lift, it's essential to understand that several factors can influence the total expense. Type of Procedure: "What is a mid facelift? " is a question with varying answers, as the specific techniques used can differ and subsequently influence the overall cost. For instance, a traditional full facelift differs from a cheek lift surgery, and the prices will reflect these distinctions. Surgeon's Expertise: The plastic surgeon's skills, experience, and reputation significantly determine the cost. The best surgeons with a track record of delivering outstanding cheek lifts, before and after care, and advanced rejuvenation techniques may charge more than those with less experience. Geographic Location: Where the procedure is performed can also influence the general cost. For example, surgeries performed in cosmopolitan areas or renowned medical hubs might be priced higher due to higher demand and operational costs. Facility and Equipment Used: The state-of-the-art equipment and the quality of the surgical center can affect the cost. A clinic equipped with the latest technology for cheek lift surgery and other related procedures may have slightly higher prices. Additional Procedures: Patients often combine their cheek lifts with other treatments, like lower eyelid surgery or fillers. When additional procedures are done concurrently, the cumulative cost may be affected. Post-operative Care: The care needed before and after the procedure can vary. Some individuals may require extended stays, specialized recovery care, or additional treatments to achieve desired results, influencing the overall cost. While you may wonder, “What is a mid facelift going to cost me? ” it's always recommended to consult directly with the surgical center or clinic to get a more precise estimate tailored to your needs. Remember, while cost is a factor, ensuring the safety and quality of the outcome should always be paramount.

Here are the most common questions that patients ask. What is lateral Canthoplasty? Lateral canthoplasty is a procedure to create a more attractive eye shape by adjusting the position of the outer corner of the eyelid and lateral tilt. Is Canthoplasty dangerous? Lateral Canthoplasty is not a dangerous procedure. Our WAVE plastic surgeons are extremely knowledgeable and highly experienced in performing this procedure to ensure a safe and successful outcome. Our team will guide you through the entire medical procedure, ensuring you understand the treatment details well, answering any additional questions you may have, and discussing the potential recovery time in your situation. How much does Canthoplasty cost? Canthoplasty is a highly individualized procedure. The lateral canthoplasty cost will be discussed in detail during a comprehensive consultation with our WAVE plastic surgeons. How is Canthoplasty surgery performed? During a lateral canthoplasty surgery, a tiny incision is placed at the outer corner of the eye to adjust the lateral canthal tendon to alter the eyelid shape and angle. The skin is meticulously closed with very fine sutures which are removed in about 7 days. What is a cat-eye lift? Cat eyelift can help achieve a more attractive, almond-shaped appearance of the eye. Lateral canthoplasty is performed to lengthen the eye-opening and adjust the lateral canthal tendon to lift the outer corner of the eye to create a more “cat-eye” shape. How long does Canthoplasty last? The results of Lateral Canthoplasty are long-lasting. Although the effects of aging can contribute to subtle changes to your results, patients typically can expect results to last 7-10 years or longer.

Frequently Asked Questions Your eyes play a crucial role in defining your overall facial harmony. Asian eyelid surgery, sometimes called double eyelid surgery, is a specialized procedure that creates a natural-looking upper eyelid crease or reduces excess tissue that may obstruct your vision or make you appear older. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our expert surgeons use advanced techniques to achieve results that enhance your natural beauty while preserving your unique features. Individuals with a natural double eyelid have an upper eyelid fold when their eyes are open and a fine horizontal crease when closed. However, many people of Asian descent have what’s known as a “monolid” due to thicker eyelid skin, more fat, and a smaller or weaker levator muscle that lifts the eyelid. This procedure carefully refines the eyelid structure to create a balanced, youthful, and well-defined look. Wave Plastic Surgery specializes in Asian eyelid surgery in Los Angeles. If you’re considering taking the next step, contact us at (888) 674-3001 to schedule a consultation. What is Asian Eyelid Surgery? Asian eyelid surgery is a highly specialized procedure designed to create a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelid or reduce excess tissue. This can be a game-changer for those with a monolid (an eyelid without a crease) who want to enhance their eye shape. Beyond aesthetics, this procedure can also help improve vision if excess skin interferes with your eyesight. Our experienced surgeons use a meticulous approach to ensure your results look seamless and natural. If you’ve ever struggled with heavy eyelids or simply want a more refreshed appearance, this procedure can provide the boost you want. Before and After Patient Gallery Seeing is believing. We encourage you to visit our before and after patient gallery and our transformation gallery to view real patient results from eyelid procedures performed at Wave Plastic Surgery. These images showcase the transformative effects of eyelid surgery and can help you set realistic expectations for your results. Previous Next See The Transformation Gallery Asian Eyelid Surgery Techniques There are two main ways to achieve a double eyelid, and the best method for you depends on your eye shape, skin thickness, and personal goals. 1. Suture Technique (Non-Incisional Method) This minimally invasive approach uses tiny stitches to create a crease without cutting. Best for: Those with thin eyelid skin who want a subtle, natural creaseProcedure Time: 30 minutes to 1 hourRecovery: Quick, with minimal swellingResults: Visible within 1-3 monthsThink of this as using an invisible thread to hold a new fold in place—no need for incisions, and the downtime is minimal. 2. Incision Technique (Full-Incision Method) This method involves making a small incision along the eyelid to remove excess fat or skin and create a permanent crease. Best for: Those with thicker eyelid skin or extra tissueProcedure Time: About 1 hourRecovery: A few weeks, with some initial swellingResults: More defined and long-lasting Choosing The Right Crease Shape For You Eyelid creases aren’t one-size-fits-all. We tailor the fold to fit your facial structure and aesthetic preferences at Wave Plastic Surgery. 1. Infold An infold crease is subtle and delicate, making it ideal for those who want a soft, natural look. This option enhances the eyelid without dramatically altering its appearance, providing a seamless and understated enhancement. 2. In-Out Fold The in-out fold begins near the inner corner of the eye and gradually blends outward. This creates a balanced, natural look that enhances the eyelid shape without looking artificial. It is popular for those who want a more defined yet subtle crease. 3. Outfold The outfold crease sits slightly higher than the natural eyelid crease, creating a more noticeable enhancement. This option best suits those looking for a more defined and prominent result, giving the eyes a wider, more open appearance. 4. High Fold Eyelid creases aren’t one-size-fits-all. We tailor the fold to fit your facial structure and aesthetic preferences at Wave Plastic Surgery. 5. Low Fold A low fold is a more subtle option, ideal for those with ptosis or excess eyelid tissue. This crease placement provides a gentle enhancement while maintaining a natural appearance, perfect for individuals seeking a minimal but effective change. 6. Ideal Fold The ideal fold is customized to follow the natural function of your eyelid, creating the most seamless and balanced result. This option ensures that the new crease blends harmoniously with your existing eyelid structure, providing a refined and natural look. Each eyelid surgery at Wave Plastic Surgery is customized to your unique features to ensure the best possible outcome. Our expert surgeons work closely with you to determine the best crease type and height to achieve your aesthetic goals. Advantages of Asian Eyelid Surgery Asian eyelid surgery is about more than just creating a crease—it’s about enhancing your natural beauty while maintaining the unique characteristics of your face. Here are some of the key benefits of this procedure:Bigger, brighter-looking eyesA more youthful, refreshed appearanceImproved facial balance and symmetryCustomized results that enhance your natural beautySome patients also choose to add epicanthoplasty (to refine the inner corners of the eyes) or lateral canthoplasty (to slightly widen the outer eye corners) for an even more striking effect. Who’s a Good Candidate? Both men and women in good health looking to refine their eyelid shape may be great candidates for Asian eyelid surgery. Ideal candidates have moderate skin elasticity, no underlying health conditions that could interfere with healing and realistic expectations about their results. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our highly skilled surgeons specialize in Asian eyelid procedures, offering personalized techniques to create a natural and balanced eyelid crease.

What Is Endoscopic Surgery? 3. Types of Endoscopic Breast Augmentation 4. Benefits of Endoscopic Breast Augmentation 5. Ideal Candidates 6. Pre-Op Consultation 8. The Surgical Process 7. Possible Risks 9. FAQs Breast augmentation remains the most popular cosmetic procedure in the US year after year. But it’s still often thought of as a heavily invasive procedure with a lengthy recovery. However, thanks to medical advancements, that's not the case anymore. Endoscopic breast augmentation is a technique that uses small, discrete incisions and has a shorter recovery period. It’s a great option that you may not have considered. We’ll guide you through everything you need to know about the procedure. What Is Endoscopic Breast Augmentation? The word augmentation refers to “the process of making something greater in size”. There are many different options available for breast augmentation. But they all refer to plastic surgery to increase the size of the breast, most often through breast implants. When breast augmentation first increased in popularity as a cosmetic procedure, many decades ago, surgical procedures were less sophisticated than they are now. In the traditional method, surgeons would insert silicone implants beneath the chest muscles or breast tissue. To insert these implants, the surgeon would create an incision either around the nipple or within the crease beneath the breast. As you can imagine, these incisions were sizable and could leave significant scar tissue if there are complications in the recovery process. Because of these reasons, many plastic surgeons now opt to do endoscopic breast augmentation instead. This is an advanced surgical technique where the surgeon uses a tiny camera (an endoscope) to see beneath the patient’s skin. It may sound a little unusual to those out of the medical field, but the use of endoscopy means surgeons can create smaller incisions in more discrete areas. What Is Endoscopic Surgery? Endoscopic surgery uses an endoscope to see the inside of the body during surgery. During Endoscopy, the surgeon makes a very small incision to insert the endoscope and his surgical instruments. Endoscopic surgery is used for a variety of ailments and procedures, such as tubal litigation, gallbladder removal, and knee surgery. It leaves patients with less risk of scarring and a faster recovery time. Types of Endoscopic Breast Augmentation There are two main types of endoscopic breast augmentation. The difference is the location of the incision. A Transaxillary endoscopic procedure refers to an incision in the armpit, or axilla. While a Transumbilical endoscopic procedure refers to an incision made in the navel area. Both procedures offer great results but the doctors at Wave prefer the Transaxillary method because it is typically considered to be safer and provides more consistent results. See more on our Before & After gallery! Benefits of Endoscopic Breast Augmentation Endoscopic breast augmentation has become one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures. There are multiple reasons that people prefer endoscopic breast augmentation over traditional breast surgery. Some of these include:No scars are placed on the breast itself: The incisions are one of the biggest reasons people opt for this procedure instead of the traditional breast augmentation. With the transaxillary procedure, the scar is hidden in a discrete spot in the patient’s underarm. This means that many people feel less self-conscious because there is no visible scarring. Nerves and Milk Ducts Remain Intact: When using the endoscopic technique to place breast implants below the muscle, very little breast tissue is damaged. An endoscope gives the surgeon a detailed view of the interior workings of the breast, this allows them to be more delicate during surgery. As a result, fewer nerves and milk ducts become severed in the surgical process. Postoperative bruising and swelling are minimized: Endoscopic breast augmentation also offers fewer possible complications. This is because nerves and blood vessels are identified using the endoscope and kept intact wherever possible. Any bleeding blood vessels can be cauterized electrically, making the procedure virtually bloodless. Faster Recovery Time: Thanks to this type of incision, the surgeon will be able to preserve much of the existing breast while preparing the area for the implant. This makes the process far more comfortable for patients post-procedure. Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation As with all surgeries, not every patient will be a good candidate for every type of procedure. The ideal candidates for endoscopic breast augmentation:Have not had prior breast surgeryDo not have significant breast ptosisDo not need excision of breast tissue or skinHave relatively symmetric breastsDo not want extremely large breast implantsFor all cosmetic procedures, the patient must be in good health to be approved for elective surgery. This is because this type of surgery typically isn’t a medical necessity. Therefore if the patient is in poor physical health, it may be deemed an unnecessary risk. Chronic health problems such as diabetes, obesity, or high blood pressure may rule out a candidate for breast augmentation in general. Similar to this, lifestyle risk factors such as smoking or excessive drinking may rule out a candidate. With particular regard to endoscopic breast augmentation, women with breast malformation or deformation may see better results from traditional surgical procedures. Similarly, patients with cylindrical-shaped breasts or sagging breasts may also be a better candidate for a breast lift of traditional breast augmentation. The best person to advise you on which type of procedure is best for you is an experienced surgeon. They can examine you, learn about your medical history and offer you tailored, unique advice based on years of experience. See more on our Before & After gallery! The Pre-Op Consultation During the consultation, a Wave Plastic Surgeon will meet with the patient to establish their goals for the procedure including size and shape preferences.

Endo Brow Lift Results Did you know that brow lifts have been a part of plastic surgeons' skillset for over a century? Some techniques are older than others, but people have been getting this procedure done for over 100 years. It wasn't until the 1990s that endoscopic brow lift procedures became a thing. This popular option caught the attention of many, but what is an endoscopic brow lift exactly? Read on to find out. See more Endoscopic Brow Lift Results in our Before & After gallery! What Is an Endoscopic Brow Lift? Eyebrow lift surgery has evolved over time, providing patients with various techniques to achieve a rejuvenated look. Brow lift surgery can correct the loss of soft tissue in the upper part of the face. It entails the removal of excess sagging skin around the forehead that causes brow drooping. Essentially, this procedure lifts the eyebrows, hence the name. Removing the wrinkling of the forehead occurs through the repositioning of the underlying tissue and muscle. After, you'll have a more youthful appearance in the upper third part of the face. Endoscopy is a surgical incision with a flexible tube, camera, and surgical instruments. An endoscope gets used in different cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries nowadays. An endoscopic brow lift has become more popular because it is not as invasive as traditionally getting a brow lift. Using endoscopy techniques for an eyebrow lift surgery also takes less time to heal. Dr. Peter Lee, MD FACS is one of the few certified Endotine Advanced Surgeon Trainers Why People Prefer Endoscopic Brow Lift Surgery Many prefer endoscopic brow lifts because they are a less invasive option. This is one of the main endoscopic brow lift benefits. Benefits of an Endoscopic Brow Lift are:Re-elevating the soft tissues of the brow and forehead that have descended with timeOpening up and brightening the eyes by lifting up the descendent soft tissue of the brow that is crowding them from above and causing them to look small, closed, and tiredRestoring and improving the natural shape and sweep of the browWeakening the powerful muscles in the central forehead that create frown linesThe loss of forehead skin elasticity can happen because of sun damage, genetics, and general gravity. The upper eyelid begins to droop, and people become unhappy with their appearance. There are other reasons people may opt for eyebrow plastic surgery, as eyebrow drooping can actually feel uncomfortable. The endoscopic eyebrow lift is a minimally invasive approach to brow rejuvenation, offering patients a quicker recovery time and reduced scarring compared to traditional methods. During the eyebrow lift procedure, the surgeon strategically adjusts the position of the eyebrows to create a more youthful and symmetrical appearance. It may change the entire eyebrow shape by decreasing the muscle function that causes brow wrinkling. Who Should Avoid It? Endoscopic brow lift surgery is not for everyone. You should avoid this procedure if you have any of the following problems:A condition that causes dry eyesA tendency for thick scarring or keloidsPsychological instabilityGeneral poor health You should also avoid eyebrow lift surgery if you have unrealistic cosmetic expectations. Your appearance will seem more youthful, but the look will be more natural. Ideal Candidates for Endoscopic Brow Lifts Ideal candidates for endoscopic brow lifts are usually patients aged 35 to 65 who show evidence of facial aging in the upper third of their face. This usually presents coincident with signs of facial aging in the middle and lower thirds of their face. Patients interested in upper or lower blepharoplasty often benefit from an endoscopic brow lift, and, in some cases, performing an endoscopic brow lift can remove the need to perform an upper blepharoplasty altogether. Instead, an endoscopic brow lift can create more natural results with better-camouflaged incisions. In other cases, the endoscopic brow lift is performed in conjunction with upper or lower blepharoplasty or facelift surgery and significantly enhances the overall aesthetic result. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=SAq7tNg9FvY The Pre-Op Evaluation Before a surgeon can perform an endoscopic brow lift procedure, they must have a thorough understanding of the patient's anatomy. The following must be evaluated before proceeding with the surgery. The position of the brows is evaluated together and independently in terms of their respective heights and the shape and positions of the head and tails of each brow. The strength and position of the procerus, depressor supercilii, and corrugator supercilii muscles are noted in planning for the surgical myomectomies. The aesthetics of the upper and lower eyelids are evaluated, and a determination of the benefit of performing upper or lower blepharoplasties in concert with the endoscopic brow lift is made. The projection and width of the supraorbital ridge are assessed. If this is too strong, the bone of the supraorbital ridge can be burred down during the performance of the endoscopic brow lift to reduce its projection. The position of the central and temporal hairlines is assessed, as well as the thickness of the hair, and the quality of the scalp, to determine the optimal positioning and length of the access incisions in the scalp. The curvature of the frontal bone is also analyzed in this assessment. In some cases, where greater curvature of the forehead is desired by the patient, fat grafting can be performed concomitantly with the endoscopic brow lift to improve the overall aesthetics of the forehead. The endoscopic brow lift cost can vary depending on factors such as your location, the surgeon's expertise, and any additional procedures that might be performed simultaneously. However, waiting to have...

What are Dermal Fillers? Dermal fillers are soft gels that are injected under the skin. There are a variety of types of Dermal Fillers, some use naturally occurring ingredients and others use synthetic components. Juvederm and Restylane are two of the most popular varieties of dermal fillers. Their primary ingredient is a naturally occurring compound called hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate and volumize your skin by stimulating the production of collagen. Other fillers like Radiesse use synthetic ingredients. Although the end result is still the stimulation of the production of the body's own natural collagen. The benefit of opting for this type of dermal filler is that the results typically last longer. Juvéderm®https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=8VaBsu5kSIEJUVÉDERM® is a top-of-the-line derma filler company. They offer 5 different products to meet every person’s specific needs. JUVÉDERM® is the only hyaluronic acid dermal filler developed using the proprietary Hylacross™ technology, an advanced manufacturing process resulting in a malleable gel that flows easily into the skin and creates a smooth, natural look and feel. Learn About Juvederm See more on our Before & After gallery! Restylane®https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=SLy_JEdBKVkRestylane® line is specifically designed to act like your body’s own naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, restoring volume to your skin. The line smooths away facial wrinkles and folds, provides subtle lip enhancement, smooths the lines around the mouth, adds lift and volume to the cheeks and helps reverse the signs of volume loss in the back of the hands. Learn About Restylane See more on our Before & After gallery! Radiesse®https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=kqY_8lPpNx4Radiesse is a Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) based dermal filler that is injected beneath the skin. Using a gel containing CaHA microspheres, Radiesse works to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production to provide you with continued improvement even after the initial volumizing effect. As the CaHA microspheres are metabolized by your body all that is left is a new supply of collagen in your skin. Learn About Radiesse Dermal Fillers FAQ What are Dermal Fillers? Dermal fillers are biodegradable gels that are injected beneath the skin’s surface to smooth wrinkles and add volume and contour. They work by drawing in water and stimulating collagen production. Where can Dermal Fillers be used? Dermal fillers can be used to replace lost volume and restore structural support. They can be used in the lips to improve their shape, size, symmetry, and proportion. They can be used in the cheeks to make the face more defined and attractive. And they can be used in the chin to make it appear more projected and proportionate. The nose can also be injected to improve its shape and contour. Are Dermal Fillers Painful? The typical dermal filler procedures require no anesthetic as most dermal fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic. On occasional topical numbing agents are used. The procedure is generally considered relatively painless and involves a few tiny injections directly into the skin that takes between 15–30 minutes. How long do fillers last? Dermal fillers last for varying degrees of time depending on the active ingredient in the filler and the recipient’s reaction to the fillers. Hyaluronic acid fillers dissolve more quickly and typically last between 6 months to a year. While Poly-L-lactic acid fillers are more resilient and last between 1 and 3 years. What are the side effects of Dermal Fillers? The most common side effects of using dermal fillers are redness, swelling, tenderness, and occasional bruising. These generally last for a week or two. If Dermal Fillers are not obtained from a reputable source or administered in a non-clinical environment there could be more severe side effects including lumps, ridges, over-filled areas, allergic reactions, skin discoloration, infection, or severe swelling. What is the recovery time for Dermal Fillers? Most patients can return to their daily activities after receiving Dermal Fillers. However, they are advised to wait a day before strenuous activity or exercise. Patients are also asked to ice the area to reduce swelling and to stay out of the sun as much as possible over the next week. How long does it take to get Dermal Fillers? Typically, dermal filler procedures involve a series...

Rather than spending thousands on surgical treatments later in life, or consistently spending hundreds on anti-wrinkle serums, many people are using neuromodulators to stop signs of aging from developing. While the name neuromodulator may sound a bit intimidating to those unfamiliar, they're all FDA-approved and deemed safe treatments. And, their ability to relax muscle fibers and prevent muscle contractions provide consistent and reliable results for those looking to keep their face (or other body parts) looking forever young.

What are Neuromodulators? Neuromodulators are compounds that relax muscle, prevent wrinkle formation, and are injected directly into the target muscle area. Various neuromodulators all work a bit differently, but they all essentially regulate how signals are transmitted between neurons. Neuromodulator injections target a group of neurons in a given treatment area, altering the strength of neuronal signal transmission. In layman's terms, they can prevent strong muscle contractions — which, over time, cause wrinkles. This restriction of movement and relaxed state can lead to: Less oil production Fewer age-related blemishes (like wrinkles, fine lines, Crow’s feet, etc. ) A reduction in sweating Facial contouring for a younger-looking appearance Read Further to Learn More about the Different Neuromodulators Botox®https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=Yntu7xL1078Produced by Allergan, Botox has been the most popular neuromodulator for over 20 years — and for good reason. Botox's main ingredient prevents muscle contraction at the site of injection, providing results that last 3 to 6 months and appear within 7 to 9 days. Main Benefit: Precise, Stable Results Learn About Botox See more on our Before & After gallery! Dysport®https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=HkxVO5ahN2YProduced by Galderma, Dysport is an alternative to Botox when the patient wishes to achieve muscle relaxation across large areas. Since the solution diffuses more than other neuromodulators, it's use case is much different and unique. Results last 3 to 6 months and appear in 2 to 5 days. Main Benefit: Spreads Evenly Across Large Muscles Learn About Dysport See more on our Before & After gallery! Xeomin®https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=jFIvjNwPq-s&t=16sUnlike other neuromodulators, Xeomin contains a single ingredient, whereas others have proteins and additives. Because of this, it may be less likely to produce allergic reactions. Main Benefit: Great for Fine Wrinkles, Quicker Results Learn About Xeomin Jeuveau®Jeuveau has the same main ingredient as Botox, and there's hardly a difference. Though in some cases, patients respond particularly well to Jeuveau. This neuromodulator is known for being especially effective at treating "Glabellar Lines" which are the creases in the skin on your forehead, above your nose. Glabellar lines can give the impression that you have a furrowed brow or are always expressing disapproval. These wrinkles emerge prematurely in certain people and can be brought on by emotional tension and stress. Jeuveau is especially effective at getting if of these forehead wrinkles and it is also less expensive than similar neuromodulators. Main Benefit: Great for Frown Lines Learn About Jeuveau Neuromodulators FAQ How do I know which neuromodulator will work best for me? All neuromodulators work in a very similar way, so this question is one we come across often. Ultimately, the area you are looking to treat and the goal you have in mind may lead to a specific neuromodulator. The best way to decide which will work best for you is to have a one-on-one consultation with an expert to see which one will provide the results you’re looking for. What is a "naked injectable? " A “naked injectable” is one that does not contain any additives. Xeomin is the only naked neuromodulator injectable offered at Wave. Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau all have accessory proteins. These proteins can determine how the product is stored and how much it spreads when injected into the area treated. Because Xeomin doesn’t have added proteins, it does not need to be refrigerated like the others. And, Xeomin may be a better option for those who have developed antibodies to ingredients in Botox or Dysport. What are a neuromodulators used for? Neuromodulators are wrinkle-relaxing injections of the botulinum toxin that are used to treat the signs of aging by minimizing wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Is Botox a neuromodulator? Botox is the brand name of one of the first neuromodulators used to treat wrinkles. Botox treatments are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed today. Botox is administered through injections of small doses of the neurotoxin solution that temporarily relaxes the muscles under the skin which minimizes and prevents the appearance of wrinkles. When should you get neuromodulators? Neuromodulators are approved for cosmetic usage in patients who are 18 years and older. When being used as a preventative treatment against wrinkles, neuromodulators are recommended for patients beginning in their mid 20’s and early 30’s. What are Neuromodulators used for?

Lower Blepharoplasty in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Our eyes are often the first feature that draws attention when we interact with others. Having bright, smooth, even, well defined eyes are considered a sign of beauty and youth. With aging, the eyelid skin becomes loose and uneven, making the eyes appear tired and aged. Because the eyelid skin is extremely delicate and susceptible to forces of gravity, genetics, and sun damage, the lower eyelids are one of the first areas of your face to show signs of aging. The once seamless transition between the lower eyelashes and the upper cheeks becomes disrupted with uneven contour and “bags” begin to appear. Weakening of facial structural ligaments and laxity of the tissues lead to sagging of the cheeks, exposing the bony rim of the orbit which causes the face to appear hollow and skeletonized.

Lower eyelid surgery at Wave Lower eyelid surgery or lower blepharoplasty is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat, and in some cases, repositions fat around the eye, to create a natural, refreshed and rested appearance. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our surgeons use the most advanced techniques to effectively rejuvenate your eyes and restore a youthful and energized appearance. Lower eyelid surgery is often used for treating problems such as: Bags beneath the eyelid (protruding fatty deposits) Wrinkles Deep, dark circles Depression of the lower lid border (tear trough) Rounded contour of the lower lid margin Lack of the lower lid orbicularis muscle protrusion https://www. youtube. com/embed/6SxoflTkhWU Are You a Good Candidate for Lower Blepharoplasty? If you have excess lower eyelid skin and/or puffy bags under the eyes, you may be a great candidate for lower blepharoplasty. Lower eyelid surgery can rejuvenate your eyes and also help improve the skin discoloration or dark circles under the eyes. Surgical candidates should generally be healthy, nonsmokers, and without any serious eye conditions. Initial Consultation At Wave Plastic Surgery, our surgeons will carefully review your medical history, perform a detailed facial analysis, and evaluate the condition of your eyes. We spend time listening to your individual concerns and provide a detailed treatment plan on how to give you the best results. Operative Procedure The lower eyelid surgery is typically done under local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure takes about one hour. Lower eyelid surgery can be performed with three main approaches: Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty, Fat Removal with Skin Excision, and Lower Eyelid with Lateral Canthopexy. Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty (Fat Removal & Repositioning)At Wave Plastic Surgery, our surgeons are extremely knowledgeable on the most advanced techniques to ensure a successful outcome. We perform a transconjunctival approach to minimize scar formation and preserve the natural shape of the lower eyelid. During this procedure, an incision is created inside the lower eyelid to access the excess fat that surrounds the eyeball. The fatty tissue can be removed or repositioned depending on the patient’s needs. Our surgeons understand the delicate nature of the eyes and know how much fat to safely remove from the lower eyelid without causing hollowing of the eyes. A small, separate skin incision is made just under the eyelashes to remove any excess skin to create a smooth, seamless contour. Very fine sutures are used to meticulously close the incision and are removed after one week. Fat Removal with Skin ExcisionAdding Skin Excision to a Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty procedure allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and minimize fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Patients who have protruding bags under their eyelids will often need procedure to smooth out any imperfections in the under-eye region. Who is a good candidate for this procedure? Around 35-45 years of age With good Skin Elasticity Not at risk for Eyelid Ectropion. Lower Blepharoplasty with Lateral CanthopexySometimes the lower eyelid is weakened by the aging process and loses the elasticity required to maintain the eyelid shape. In these situations, we recommend performing an adjunctive canthopexy procedure to strengthen the lower eyelid. A canthopexy can help prevent sagging of the lower eyelid and formation of an ectropion where the lower eyelid loses tone and does not fully contact the eyeball. This procedure can tighten and improve the contour of the lower eyelid by anchoring the tendon of the eyelid muscle to the lateral orbital bone. Who is a good candidate for this procedure? Around 40-80 years of age Have Excess Skin under the eyelid Are interested in preventing Eyelid Ectropion How Does Lower Blepharoplasty Work? Removing Protruding Fat Beneath the Eyes There are three separate compartments where the orbital fat resides. As we age, the tissues holding the orbital fat become attenuated, and as a result, the fat becomes more visible as it protrudes out more. Depending on the severity and whether there is a depression in the lower portion of the lower lid rim, each individual’s treatment will be different. If excess fat is the only issue, we can remove it using a transconjunctival approach (inside...

FAQs Aging Upper Eyelid Surgery in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco You noticed the reflection in the mirror is aging. Signs of aging around your eyes are becoming more noticeable and can’t be hidden underneath makeup. Sagging, wrinkled, or drooping upper eyelids can make you look tired and older than you feel, but an upper blepharoplasty can restore a youthful, rejuvenated look. This procedure targets the excess skin and fat that cause eyelids to droop, helping you achieve a more refreshed and alert appearance. Many factors contribute to sagging eyelids, such as aging, genetics, and weakened muscles around the eye area. Ptosis (drooping caused by weak eye muscles) may also play a role, necessitating additional techniques for optimal results. Complementary to an upper eyelid surgery, a brow lift might be recommended to enhance your overall youthful look. Blepharoplasty can have practical benefits too. For some people, drooping upper lids can obstruct vision, and upper eyelid surgery can help clear that up, offering both aesthetic and functional improvements. At WAVE Plastic Surgery, we specialize in upper blepharoplasty and understand the delicate nature of facial anatomy. With surgery centers in the Bay Area and Southern California, our skilled surgeons will perform the procedure to your needs, helping you achieve natural, refreshed results.

Here are a few testimonials from patients who have undergone upper blepharoplasty at one of our California locations, whether in Los Angeles, Costa Mesa, or the Bay Area: This was my first ever procedure (upper eyelid surgery). Dr. Ben Lee was incredibly understanding and patient for my nitpicking and anxiety during the entire process. He let me express my needs and wants and made me feel extremely comfortable. There was only honesty and encouragement for anything I had questions about. I had an amazing consultant who I now consider as a friend, caring nurses that made checked up on me as much as they could. I wouldn’t have gone to any other surgeon! Lisa Su Dr. Lee was very personable, took the time to really study my case, and gave me specific and knowledgeable recommendations. My final product was far better than I ever could have imagined. I highly recommend his services! Kimmottone I went last Saturday for double eyelid and up-lift eyes surgeries. It was not as pain as I thought, the total surgery time around 45 mins to 1 hr. It's been three days already, and I felt recovery very well. Thank you Dr. Lee. I will recommend this place if anyone wants to do plastic surgery. Johnny H. I came in for a double eyelid surgery and I absolutely loved it. I have a very low pain tolerance but the IV fluids and local anesthesia made the surgery very tolerable. The staff was super friendly and cool! I loved how they answered numerous questions I had which calmed my nerves! 10/10 would recommend! Allison S. My friend introduced me to Wave for double eayelid surgery. She had done it a few years ago and it looked so natural and nice. So I made an appointment and had a consultation yesterday. The place was easy to find and they validated the parking ticket. First, I was a little confused because they were using two different suites on the 2nd floor. Later, I found out that one was for surgery and the other one was for consultation. The staff was friendly, office was nice and huge. they had pretty Christmas decorations too. :) I was seen by the "consultant" first. She showed me several before and after pictures and explained about the surgery, and etc. But I wanted to meet the doctor as well since she is not the one who will perform the surgery. Therefore, this consultant took me to the other suite where they have surgery rooms and exam rooms. It was a little bit of a hassle going back and forth between two different suites. I had to wait about 15mins then Dr. came in for a consultation. He didn't spend that much time with me but he knew what I wanted and He had confidence about what he was doing. Basically, he said the same things about the surgery as the...

Before & After Buccal Fat Removal in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Some people feel like their cheeks are too big and make their face look round. This is often the result of large buccal fat pads in the cheeks. Reshaping the cheek by removing buccal fat can help a person achieve their goal look. Our board-certified plastic surgeons in Los Angeles offer Buccal Fat Removal to reduce cheek size and help our patients achieve the sculpted, angular look that they want. Call 888-674-3001 https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=Atj0g6RDZ-A&t=28s What Is Buccal Fat Removal? The layer of fat around the cheek area is called buccal fat. This feature can be hereditary or can develop over time, causing a rounded, chubby cheek or 'chipmunk' appearance. Buccal fat pads are naturally-occurring pockets of fat located in the cheek area between the facial muscles. While some facial fullness is considered youthful, excessive buccal fat can create an imbalance in facial structures. Buccal lipectomy (the medical term for buccal fat removal) is a popular procedure for those seeking to enhance their facial contour. Reducing buccal fat through a cheek reduction surgery will give the face a more contoured, shapely aesthetic. Wave's expert Plastic Surgeons can help you achieve a more balanced, refined appearance. For more dramatic facial sculpting, we also offer comprehensive face contouring procedures.

Get A Consultation How Does Buccal Fat Removal Work? Many patients desire a slimmer, more refined shape to their lower face. Men prefer a more chiseled, masculine jawline, while women want a more delicate, angular lower face. This can often be achieved through buccal fat excision. The goal of buccal fact excision is to reduce the fullness in the cheeks. Although younger individuals often have more roundness in cheek hollows and it is seen as a sign of youth, some patients feel that this makes their face appear too full. The buccal fat is a naturally occurring pocket of fat in the submalar area. The fat in this area has a very distinct appearance, and its function is unknown. There are no known deficits from its removal. The amount of buccal fat varies with each individual patient. The procedure may be performed alone, or in conjunction with other procedures like our facelift surgery or face contouring treatments. The Buccal Fat Removal Procedure The reduction of buccal fat pad is usually performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. The typical approach for removing the buccal fat pad is through a minimal incision along the bite line, near the second molars. The underlying tissues are then dissected to expose the main body of the buccal fat. Once visualized, the fat in gently teased out while gentle pressure is applied externally. The fat is then cauterized at the base and removed the incisions are sutured with dissolvable stitches. Typically the procedure takes about 30 minutes to complete, after which the patient is then discharged home. Buccal fat removal is considered a quick procedure that can be performed on an outpatient basis. Our facial plastic surgeons use advanced surgical techniques to ensure minimal disruption to the surrounding facial muscles and optimal aesthetic results. For patients looking for more significant facial refinement, our surgeons may recommend combining buccal fat removal with facial feminization surgery or our specialized double pure fat grafting technique for optimal facial sculpting. Recovery After Buccal Fat Removal Patients typically have minor discomfort as the intraoral incisions heal for a few days. Swelling can typically last for a couple of weeks. Self absorbing sutures are used. The final results can take up to 3 months to manifest. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within 3-7 days, though it's important to follow all post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure optimal healing and results. Check out our monthly specials from WAVE Plastic Surgery Learn More Post-Procedure Care & Recovery Process Following your buccal fat removal surgery, our team will provide comprehensive instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process:Pain Management: Most patients experience mild discomfort that can be managed with over-the-counter pain medicationReducing Swelling: Apply ice packs to the cheeks for the first 48 hours to minimize swellingSleeping Position: Keep your head elevated while sleeping for several days to help swelling subside fasterDiet Recommendations: Stick to a soft food diet for 3-5 days, avoiding crunchy foods, chewy foods, and hot liquidsOral Hygiene: Use a prescribed antimicrobial mouthwash to keep the incision sites cleanActivity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous exercise or activities for at least 2 weeksFollow-up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up visits to monitor your healing progressMost patients experience significant reduction in swelling within 2 weeks, with residual swelling continuing to improve over the following months.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Cheek Reduction At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Cheek Reduction in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Cheek procedures are among some of the less known facial plastic surgeries out there. However, reshaping the cheek (or malar) region can go a long way in rejuvenating a person’s appearance or achieving their goal look. Some people may be uncomfortable with their prominent or wide cheekbones. Our board-certified plastic surgeons in Los Angeles can help you achieve the look that they want. Call 888-674-3001 CHEEK REDUCTION SURGERY While well-defined, prominent cheekbones are considered aesthetically pleasing, some people, especially those with East Asian backgrounds, are prone to have excessively prominent cheekbones that do not look proportional or balanced with the rest of their facial features. Through cheek reduction surgery, patients can expect to enjoy an enhanced appearance, more defined features and more defined cheeks, as well as a more narrow face shape. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=5SS5sUmSaYA&feature=youtu. beSee more on our Before & After gallery! Cheekbone or malar reduction is a procedure used to reshape overly prominent cheekbones. Because the cheekbone is a complex, three dimensional structure, surgical planning involves an in depth consultation, and photographs, x-rays, CT scanning and occasionally 3-dimensional modeling are used to assist operative planning. The procedure takes place under general anesthesia to protect the area. The cheekbone complex is approached through multiple, hidden incisions in the mouth and temporal region. Once exposed, the cheekbone is cut to allow reshaping. The new position is maintained with titanium plates. The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures. After a brief stay in the recovery room, patients are discharged home. Swelling can be substantial at first but dissipates by two weeks, after which most patients can return to work. The final result will be apparent several months after surgery after all the swelling has resolved. During the Malar Reduction surgery, the patient is administered local anesthesia, the surgeon makes incisions, harvests the fat through liposuction or other means, then closes the incisions. This surgery can be as short as an hour. Our Malar Reduction Specialist Peter Lee M. D. , F. A. C. S.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Face Contouring At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Face Contouring in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Do you ever look in the mirror and feel like certain facial features appear disproportionate or out of balance? Perhaps you're bothered by a too-wide jawline, overly prominent cheekbones, or fullness in the lower face that creates a rounded appearance. These common concerns can affect not only your facial harmony but also your confidence in social and professional settings. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced facial contouring procedures specifically designed to address these imbalances. Our expert surgeons combine artistic vision with technical precision to create beautifully balanced, naturally proportioned facial contours that enhance your unique features while maintaining your distinct character and ethnicity. Call 888-674-3001 What Is Facial Contouring? Facial contouring refers to a category of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures designed to enhance and reshape the structural elements of your face. These specialized treatments can help achieve a more balanced, harmonious appearance by sculpting your jaw, chin, or cheeks according to your aesthetic goals. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our globally renowned surgeons specialize in facial contouring procedures that can give your face a more balanced look by adding fullness, raising your cheekbones, emphasizing your chin, or strengthening your jawline. Whether you're concerned about facial asymmetry, signs of aging, or simply wish to enhance your natural features, our comprehensive approach offers solutions tailored to your unique needs. Our Face Contouring Procedures If you are considering facial contouring, Wave Plastic Surgery offers both surgical and non-surgical alternatives to help you achieve your goals. Here are some of our most popular Face Contouring services:Malar ReductionWhile well-defined, prominent cheekbones are considered aesthetically pleasing, some people, especially those with East Asian backgrounds, are prone to have excessively prominent cheekbones that do not look proportional or balanced with the rest of their facial features. Through cheek reduction surgery, patients can expect to enjoy an enhanced appearance, more defined features and more defined cheeks, as well as a more narrow face shape. This procedure is particularly popular among patients looking to achieve a softer, more oval facial appearance. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=5SS5sUmSaYA&feature=emb_title See more on our Before & After gallery! Read More Mandible Reductionhttps://www. youtube. com/watch? v=9CambFap3Cg&feature=emb_title See more on our Before & After gallery! The size of the jawbone is what determines the width of the lower face. If the bone is thick and wide or the muscle is thick and bulky, it will result in a widened face. To reduce the size of the jaw line, the bone is carefully filed down and a portion of the muscle is removed. The muscle will still function properly, but the fullness will be decreased. This will create a more oval-shaped jaw line with a softer and smoother angle. Our expert surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery have extensive experience in jaw reduction procedures, helping patients achieve a more balanced facial profile with natural-looking results. Read More Buccal Fat RemovalThe layer of fat around the cheek area is called buccal fat. This feature can be hereditary or can develop over time, causing a rounded, chubby or 'chipmunk' appearance. Reducing buccal fat through a cheek reduction surgery will give the face a more contoured, shapely aesthetic. The amount of buccal fat varies with each individual patient. The procedure may be performed alone, or in conjunction with facelift. Wave's expert Plastic Surgeons can help you achieve a more balanced, refined look by removing excess buccal fat and creating more defined cheekbones. https://youtu. be/Atj0g6RDZ-A? feature=shared See more on our Before & After gallery!

The Precision Lift is a specialized laser system combined with liposuction to treat the changes of aging and weight gain in the lower face and neck. The Precision Lift was created to fill a significant gap between a formal facelift and a noninvasive skin tightening procedure, like Ultherapy. This minimally invasive procedure can effectively address early jowling, excess fat under the chin, and loss of definition along the jawline, providing remarkable results with less downtime than traditional surgical approaches.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Double Pure Fat Grafting At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Double Pure Fat Grafting in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco A youthful appearance is one that looks smooth, toned, and glowing with sufficient tissue volume. Often one of the first signs of aging is hollowing and sagging due to loss of volume. Fat grafting or fat transfer is a surgical procedure that transfers fat from one area of your body to another to replenish volume loss. The goal is to restore youthful contours of the body with volume depletion, improve irregularities, or enhance existing shapes. Call 888-674-3001 Read More How does Fat Grafting work? Common areas where the fat is harvested from include the hips, abdomen, and thighs which not only serves as the source of fat, but also reduces fat and improves contour of the harvest site. Common areas of fat transfer include multiple regions of the face, such as cheeks, lips, around the eyes, jawline, temples, forehead as well as areas of the body, such as the hands, breasts, and buttocks. Who is a good candidate for a Fat Grafting? Generally healthy, nonsmoking individuals who want natural volume enhancement for facial rejuvenation or body contouring. Patients must have realistic expectations and sufficient fat to achieve the desired goals. Our Wave Plastic Surgeons will first perform a comprehensive consultation and determine if you are an appropriate candidate for this procedure. A customized treatment plan will then be discussed and explained in detail. Some common reasons to consider fat transfer include: Rejuvenate areas of the face and body that are sagging or hollowing due to volume depletion Smooth fine lines and improve facial creases Augment lip volume and contour Revise scars or correct asymmetry Improve body contour and rejuvenation, such as the buttocks (Brazilian butt lift) Augment breast size or enhance breast implants or address existing abnormal breast contours Fillers or Fat? Both synthetic fillers and fat injections can be used to address facial volume loss and contour enhancement. However, there are some distinct advantages of fat transfer. Fat transfer produce results that are safe with minimal risks and provide natural and long-lasting results. Although allergic reactions to fillers are rare occurrences, fat comes from your own body and therefore fat transfer inherently has less risk for developing an allergic reaction. Some potential disadvantages of fat transfer, include increased cost, longer procedure time, and the possibility of needing touch up procedures if not enough fat cells survive. Double Pure Fat Grafting Procedure Details At Wave Plastic Surgery, our highly experienced plastic surgeons use the latest surgical techniques to ensure the best outcomes. Our advanced three-stage method consistently produces natural and youthful appearing results. Fat transfer can be done under local anesthesia with light sedation or general anesthesia if combined with other plastic surgery procedures. The duration of the fat grafting surgery depends on the amount of fat needed to be transferred. Stage I: Harvest The first step involves harvesting the fat via liposuction. During your initial consultation, our surgeons will predetermine which area of your body will provide the best site for fat removal. Local anesthesia is first infiltrated into the tissue. Using sterile technique, a tiny incision is made on the skin of the harvest site, and a thin cannula attached to a syringe is inserted to gently suction out the fat cells. The incision is then meticulously closed with small sutures. Stage II: Purification After collecting adequate fat cells, an advanced purification process begins. Using cutting edge filtration techniques, the fat cells are purified to the highest quality and then transferred into small, individual syringes for injection. At WAVE Plastic Surgery, we can enhance purified fat with Plasma Rich Plasma (PRP) to increase fat cell survivability and ensure the best possible outcomes. Stage III: Transfer By fully analyzing the recipient regions of the face or body, our surgeons know exactly the amount of fat to inject as well as how to evenly distribute the fat to ensure results that are smooth, seamless, and natural. The fat is then transferred in multiple micro aliquots until the desired contour is achieved with the utmost precision. Recovery Most patients tolerate the fat grafting procedure well with minimal pain. This discomfort can be controlled with pain medication if needed. Incisions and treated areas must be kept clean during the recovery process. Patients will return to the clinic one week after the procedure to evaluate the fat harvest and donor sites and remove any sutures. Most swelling and bruising that occurs will resolve within the first two to three weeks. We advise patients to refrain from strenuous activity for the first two weeks as well as avoid the consumption of salty foods that can exacerbate and prolong swelling. Sometimes residual swelling can continue for up to three months in duration. Every patient has a different recovery experience which also depends on the volume of fat that is transferred. The Results Patients will notice immediate results that will continue to improve during the recovery process as the swelling resolves and the survival of the fat cells has been determined. By 6 months after surgery, patients should have achieved full recovery, displaying a natural, refreshed, and youthful appearance that will last for many years to come.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Chin Augmentation At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Before & After Chin Augmentation in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Having facial features that are proportionate and well balanced has long been considered a hallmark of beauty. Chin augmentation surgery, or genioplasty, uses a customized chin implant to strengthen a weak or recessed chin which subsequently enhances the contours of the jaw, neck, and balances the overall facial profile. In addition, a weak chin can often make the nose appear larger and out of proportion with the rest of the face. In many cases, a rhinoplasty or facelift is performed in combination with chin augmentation to bring balance and achieve ideal facial proportions. Call 888-674-3001 Read More Everything You Need to Know about Chin Augmentation https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=GMO7R3A6meQ Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that alters the underlying structure of the chin. It often involves the use of chin implants or fillers, or even the manipulation of the jawbone, to resize or reshape the chin and achieve a more balanced facial appearance. This procedure addresses issues such as an excessively recessed chin and sagging around the chin and jawline. In addition to facial rejuvenation, chin augmentation creates a more defined chin that brings symmetry and harmony to the entire face and enhances the patient’s facial profile. Who is a Good Candidate for Chin Augmentation? The ideal chin is thought to be one that extends to or slightly behind a vertical line dropped from the forward most point of the lower lip on profile view. A chin that falls behind the vertical line is considered weak or recessed and can be improved with augmentation. Good candidates for Chin Augmentation Surgery are people looking to: Strengthen a weak, underdeveloped chin. Produce a more attractive triangular shape to the jawline. Increase the height or width of the chin. Minimize the appearance of jowls or a double chin. Bring balance to the nose and chin. Change the appearance of chin dimpling. Addressing Chin & Jawline Definition Together Chin augmentation can dramatically improve facial harmony—and for patients with fullness beneath the chin, combining it with fat reduction or skin tightening treatments can enhance results even more. Learn how to reduce or eliminate a double chin. Chin Augmentation Surgery The Procedure Chin implant surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation. A synthetic silicone implant is carefully sculpted and individualized to fit your chin precisely. The implant can be placed through a small incision inside the mouth or through the skin hidden under the chin depending on the size of the implant and if any other adjunctive procedures are performed. Through the incision, a small pocket is created beneath the muscle over the bone of the chin. The implant is then carefully inserted in the pocket and secured. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our plastic surgeons use special advanced techniques to ensure that the implant enhances the chin perfectly so that the results appear natural and seamless. Tiny sutures are used to close the incision which heals extremely well. See more on our Before & After gallery! The Results The results of chin augmentation can be seen immediately and will continue to improve as swelling resolves over time. Having an augmented chin can greatly enhance your profile and bring an overall sense of balance of the face. The Recovery After chin implant surgery, some swelling and bruising and mild discomfort will occur during the first week. Gentle cool compresses and special tape placed over the chin will help minimize the swelling. Depending on the type of incision used, intraoral sutures are dissolvable and do not need to be removed whereas external skin sutures will be removed in one week. Patients should maintain a soft diet for about 7-10 days. Our Chin Augmentation Specialist Peter Lee M. D. , F. A. C. S.

What is thread lifting and how does it work? Although first developed in the 1980s, face threading has since evolved with new advances in technology and quality of threads, leading to a resurgence in popularity as a minimally invasive rejuvenation procedure. A face thread lift can be considered a “bridge” between the two ends of the treatment spectrum, offering an exciting option for patients who want more than noninvasive fillers but are not quite ready for surgery yet. At WAVE Plastic Surgery, we use safe, FDA approved threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) which is a safe, absorbable synthetic polymer that has been long used as a suture material for cardiac surgery.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Icured Microneedle At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? ICURED Microneedle in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco The ICURED Microneedle treatment is a revolutionary new therapy designed to regenerate aging facial skin and return to it the glowing softness of youth. It does this by injecting multiple small doses of a fractionated protein complex derived from sheep’s placenta into the dermal layers of the skin. Fibroblasts are cells that speed wound healing and provide the structural framework of the skin by producing collagen and elastin. Collagen is the major structural protein in the skin, responsible for its thickness, strength, and shape. In youth, collagen makes up 80% of the volume of the skin, but after the age of 25, we lose about 1% of our total volume of collagen each successive year. Elastin, as its name suggests, is a highly elastic protein that allows the skin to retain its shape after stretching or contracting. It gives our skin its elasticity.

When Will You See The Result From ICURED Microneedle? Within just a few days following the ICURED Microneedle Treatment, patients will notice an overall lifting and tightening of the skin of the face and neck, accompanied by a noticeable reduction in wrinkles, as well as a new glow and radiance of the skin of these areas. This is due to the dramatic increase in both the collagen and the elastin content of the skin. This rapid proliferation of collagen and elastin in the skin continues unabated over the ensuing three weeks following the treatment. How Long Goes a MicroNeedle Treatment Take? The ICURED Microneedle Treatment takes about two hours, and involves only minimal discomfort, butthe improvement of the health and vitality of the skin can be permanent, provided the patient embarksupon a long-term skin care regimen following the treatments. To maximize patients’ results, Wave PlasticSurgery recommend performing a series of three treatments at three-week intervals. What Is the Recovery Time for ICURED Microneedle? Very mild swelling and bumpiness of the skin, minimal redness, occasional bruising, as well as itchinessof the skin, may be experienced by patients for the first two to three days after the procedure. As an addedbenefit to our patients undergoing the three treatment ICURED Microneedle package, Wave providesthem with a comprehensive kit of aftercare products designed to minimize their downtime and maximizetheir results. Patients wishing to turbocharge their results from The ICURED Microneedle Treatment can add PGF tothe standard sheep placenta extract. PGF stands for platelet growth factors. These growth factors areisolated from plasma rich protein (PRP) that is extracted from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. PRP has been shown to contain high concentrations of powerful biologically active growth factors such asplatelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), vascular endothelial growthfactor (VEGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF). ICURED Microneedle Solutions In the skin, these growth factors up-regulate proliferation and differentiation of fibroblasts as well asproduction and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which gives the skin its unique propertiesof elasticity, tensile strength and compressibility. Thus, the addition of PGF to The ICURED MicroneedleTreatment augments its ability to treat fine lines and wrinkles, restore volume and elasticity, and improvethe overall texture of the skin.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Mole Removal At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Mole Removal in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco One thing many of us know as Southern Californians is that the sun does not always play nice with our skin. It can cause problems with discoloration and make otherwise youthful skin look that much older. With the eCO2 resurfacing laser by Lutronic, our Los Angeles plastic surgeons can help to uncover your youth and restore the flawless complexion you want. HOW DOES MOLE REMOVAL WORK? At Wave Plastic Surgery, we use the Lutronic eCO2 laser, a fractional ablative laser, for treatment that is easy and reliable for both you and our trained surgeons. The eCO2 laser features the patented Controlled Chaos Technology (or CCT™) to effectively disperse micro laser beams for a maximized area of heating. This technology helps to reduce discomfort following treatment and provide better results than other resurfacing treatments out there. When you come in for your mole removal consultation, we will carefully analyze your condition to determine effective treatment for the removal of your mole. During your mole removal treatment, we will use the eCO2 laser to slowly remove the mole layer by layer. We have found that lasers offer more precision than alternative mole removal treatments, which allows us to provide you with natural looking results and minimal scarring. Moles that are more raised may take slightly longer to treat. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM A MOLE REMOVAL TREATMENT? Recovery after a laser mole removal treatment will normally take no more than a week. You will likely feel well enough to walk around and perform normal activities shortly after your procedure, but your skin will likely be sore at the site of the treatment for a few days. Any redness or swelling will continue to dissipate as your body continues to heal itself. Patients are often thrilled with the results of their eCO2 mole treatment and are not often left with any noticeable scarring thanks to the precision of the laser. Following your treatment, your skin will appear much clearer and younger than before.

### Liposuction Cost

> Los Angeles Liposuction Cost Is A Consideration For Your Procedure Wave Plastic Surgery Center offers a number of surgical and non-surgical services.

- Published: 2020-02-25
- Modified: 2024-07-25
- URL: https://waveplasticsurgery.com/surgical/body-procedures/liposuction-cost/

How Much Does Liposuction Cost? Wave Plastic Surgery Center offers a number of surgical and non-surgical services, including liposuction. There are a number of concerns when getting this procedure, including the Los Angeles liposuction cost. The Los Angeles liposuction cost is one of a number of considerations, but there are other, very important considerations when getting a procedure that is considered invasive, although it is minimally invasive. BEWARE OF BARGAIN PRICED LIPOSUCTION IN LOS ANGELES Before contemplating the Los Angeles liposuction cost, you must be informed of what the procedure consists of. First, ask yourself if liposuction is right for you. Skin elasticity is a major consideration, as liposuction will rid your body of fat, but you may still have sagging skin, which must be addressed with a different procedure. The younger and healthier you are, the better a candidate you are. There are different kinds of liposuction, with each having a different Los Angeles liposuction cost. Different methods present different advantages and risks. You and your surgeon must tailor the method to your needs. You must use a surgeon who understands your needs. The different kinds of liposuction are: power-assisted liposuction, ultrasound assisted liposuction, laser liposuction and laser-assisted liposuction. Each uses a different technique, but generally, the fat is injected with diluted fluid local anesthetic and a capillary constrictor called epinephrine. Thin tubes called cannulas are inserted through small incisions in the skin that are used to loosen and suction fat with a surgical vacuum or syringe. You may require local or general anesthesia, depending on the area treated. There will likely be some pain associated with your liposuction procedure. This may last multiple weeks after your treatment and you can have pain relieving medication prescribed. Concerning the Los Angeles liposuction cost, there are a number of contributing and varying factors, including everything from the geography of your clinic, to surgeon, to area of treatment. Usually, your Los Angeles liposuction cost will not be below $2,000. Sometimes a difficult to treat but relatively small area can cost as much or more than a larger but easier to treat area. The surgeon who treats you is a significant factor in the Los Angeles liposuction cost. You want to find the right surgeon for you. If you find that the Los Angeles liposuction cost is very low, you should be weary. A botched liposuction job can result in major irreparable damage, disfigurement, or even death. Beware of bargain basement pricing on surgery. Be careful if seeking treatment outside the country, as doctors aren’t beholden to the same standards and laws as they are in the US. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is! Chances are that if there is a temptingly low Los Angeles liposuction cost, something is not right. See an accredited, experienced surgeon who will put your mind and body at ease.

Get A Consultation How Does LIPOSUCTION Work? Once you are comfortably sedated, your board-certified plastic surgeon will carefully make small incisions in your treatment area. We will then insert a cannula (thin, hollow tube) in through the incision so it reaches into the underlying layer of fat. The cannula, which is connected to a surgical vacuum at the other end, is then carefully maneuvered to help break up the fatty deposits and remove them from your body. The liposuction process must be done carefully and artistically to avoid an unnatural appearance and any unnecessary side effects. Our doctors will continue removing the excess fat until they have achieved your desired results. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=FgAHspC7s24&t=4s Returning to Normal after Liposuction Give your body some time to heal after your procedure. You will likely experience some bruising or swelling, but you will notice a much slimmer figure almost immediately. You should be able to return to work after 1-3 weeks depending on the area that was treated and how much fat was removed. Remember, just because the fat is gone for good doesn’t mean new fat won’t come back if you adopt an unhealthy lifestyle after your procedure. Your liposuction results can be extremely long-lasting as long as you maintain regular physical activity and make healthy eating choices. Now that you have your new, slimmer body, you can enjoy activities that you previously dreaded, like taking a trip to the beach or shopping for new clothes.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Breast Augmentation At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Breast Augmentation in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Breast Augmentation can help increase the fullness and projection of your breasts as well as improve the balance between the breasts and hips. Undergoing breast augmentation or “augmentation mammoplasty” can help you enhance your self-confidence and rejuvenate your appearance. Many people opt for breast augmentation to correct volume loss after pregnancy or weight loss. It can also be used to increase the symmetry and shape of the breasts. Call 888-674-3001 OPTIONS FOR BREAST ENHANCEMENT There are several different FDA approved implant types and incision techniques for women to choose from. During your consultation, one of our trained Los Angeles plastic surgeons will help you find the right breast implant type, incision, and placement based on your unique figure and expectations. CHOOSING YOUR BREAST IMPLANTS: SILICONE OR SALINE? One of the first choices that you will have to make for your breast augmentation is whether you want silicone or saline breast implants. The implant that is best for you will depend on your body type, amount of existing breast tissue, as well as your goal look and reasons for undergoing surgery. What may work best for one woman may not be the ideal solution for you, so it is important that we discuss your surgery in detail to make the best determination for your implants. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer women the choice of Natrelle® gummy bear silicone implants or saline-filled implants. The newer gummy bear implants, nicknamed for their cohesive, leakproof structure, have been said to provide for a more natural look and feel. Women who desire a rounder or shapelier look may be better suited for saline implants. Both have been approved by the FDA and have a long track record of safety and beautiful results. HOW WE PERFORM THE BREAST AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE There will be many components of your breast augmentation surgery that can be customized depending on your own unique case. Factors such as breast implant type, incision location, and implant placement will all be discussed and decided during your consultation with one of our doctors. When you come in for your surgery, you will be put under a general anesthesia. We will then proceed to make a discreet incision, either in the crease under your breast, around the areola, or beneath your arm. Silicone implants will be placed pre-filled either above or below the pectoral muscle, whereas saline implants are placed empty and then filled once they have been set. Once your breast implant is placed within the created pocket, your incisions are closed and any necessary surgical dressings are placed. After breast augmentation, it is possible to return to work within just a few days to a week, depending on the type of activity that is required at your job. Special surgical techniques and post-operative care instructions will be given to minimize complications like bleeding, asymmetry, infections, and capsular contractures. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we provide a special protocol to further minimize capsular contracture – an unnatural hardening of the breast due to post-surgical development of scar tissue. Real Wave Patient. See more on our Before & After gallery! Wave Plastic Surgery Corrects Breast Implant Malfunctions Each year, many women choose to undergo breast augmentation in order to reshape and refine their feminine contours. The goal of breast surgery is to restore natural breast volume and shape. Women choose breast implants for reasons such as: A lack of breast tissue development Alterations in body shape after pregnancy or weight loss Asymmetry of their breasts due to congenital reasons Breast cancer surgery reconstruction This popular breast procedure is ideal not only in restoring a feminine figure, but also more importantly for improving a woman’s self-image and self-confidence.

Why Scarlet RF? Scarlet RF is where fractional radiofrequency technology and microneedle therapy meet for the first time. The amazing benefits of each of these technologies is widely known, and when used together, creates a treatment that packs a powerful punch. Scarlet RF treats a host of skin issues by stimulating the production of collagen and strengthening underlying dermal tissue. Benefits of Scarlet RF Diminishes active acne and acne scars Tightens the skin, smoothing out smile lines and other unwanted deep folds Reduces pore size Treats signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles Improves hyperpigmentation, creating a more unified skin tone Improves stretch marks Strengthens the skin’s elasticity Scarlet RF Before and After Photos Youthful skin is firm and supple, thanks to the rapid production of collagen. As we age, however, the amount of collagen our body produces diminishes more and more, starting around the age of 25. A decrease in the production of collagen causes many types of skin afflictions. However, these issues can be treated, reversed and prevented with Scarlet SF. A series of treatments is recommended based on the issue you’d like to target, however you will see improvements in your skin in only one session! Scarlet RF Pre-Treatment: Avoid NSAIDS/ Blood thinners 1 week prior to treatment. Avoid irritant topical agents (retinol, HQ) for 2-3 days prior to treatment. Stop anticoagulants 7-10 days prior to treatment. Ensure treatment area is clean of makeup and lotions. Scarlet RF Post-Treatment: Treat skin gently over next several days. Cleanse with gentle cleanser. Use recommended Post Care treatment for 48-72 hrs. Keep skin hydrated. Avoid harsh irritants such as retinol for 48 hrs as it may irritate the skin. Make-up may be applied 48 hrs after treatment. Avoid direct sun and use SPF daily.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Liquid Butt Lift At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Sculptra Butt Lift in Los Angeles, Orange County & San Francisco A Sculptra Butt Lift, also called a Liquid Butt Lift, is a non-surgical procedure that enhances the curve and shape of your butt without the need for surgery. A Liquid Butt Lift uses a dermal filler called Sculptra to stimulate collagen production down below the surface of the skin. A Sculptra Butt Lift is a lot less invasive than butt implants or a fat transfer and actually encourages your own body to produce more collagen in the desired area. This gives you a rounder, more attractive posterior with minimal recovery time. Call 888-674-3001 Sculptra is a revolutionary facial injectable designed to stimulate and harness your body’s own reparative and regenerative processes to restore volume, softness, and elasticity to the face. The main ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic injectable compound that has been widely used in dissolvable sutures and soft tissue implants for decades. Injection of Sculptra into the deep dermis of the skin of the face triggers an inflammatory reaction that causes an upregulation of the activity of fibroblasts in the skin In this way, Sculptra stimulates the replacement of the skin’s collagen that has declined with age, and gradually restores volume in areas of the skin that have developed wrinkles and deeper folds. With time the poly-L-lactic acid particles themselves are metabolized to carbon dioxide and water, and expelled through the respiratory system so that all that remains is the new collagen whose production Sculptra has triggered. Part of the beauty of treatment with Sculptra is that its effects unfold naturally and gradually over time. Sculptra is especially helpful in treating wrinkles along the nasolabial fold (smile lines), wrinkles that frame the mouth (marionette lines), and chin wrinkles, but, in fact, it can be used to add volume over much of the area of the entire face. A full course treatment of Sculptra typically involves three to four injection sessions with three-week to six-week intervals between each session. The aesthetic improvement resulting from treatment with Sculptra can last up to two years. https://youtu. be/GKPy1zeax48 Subscribe to Receive Exclusive Email Specials First name(Required)Last Name(Required)Email(Required) Specials and Announcements(Required) By submitting this form, you are consenting to receive text/ email marketing communications from Wave Plastic Surgery PhoneThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Need A Consultation? Ear Pinning in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Ear pinning surgery, also known as Otoplasty, can improve the shape, position or proportion of a person’s ears. Otoplasty can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth and becomes increasingly apparent with development. It can also be used to treat misshapen ears caused by injury or a previous surgery gone wrong. Our plastic surgeons perform ear surgery to create a natural shape, while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound benefits to your overall appearance and self-esteem. If protruding or disfigured ears bother you or your child, you may consider plastic surgery. Call 888-674-3001 AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR EAR SURGERY? There are several reasons why a person may choose to undergo ear surgery. While it is most common with children, adults may benefit from surgery as well if they are unhappy with the appearance of their ears. Some issues that can be treated with ear surgery include: Overly large ears (Sometimes caused by a rare condition called Macrotia) Protruding ears occurring on one or both sides of the head in varying degrees (not associated with hearing loss) Adult dissatisfaction with a previous ear surgery HOW WILL MY EAR SURGERY BE PERFORMED? Otoplasty is a surgical procedure specifically designed to correct any deformities and defects of the ear, and for reconstructing a defective, deformed, or absent external ear, consequent to congenital conditions. Your plastic surgeon will correct the defect or deformity by creating an appearance that is of a natural proportion and contour. This will usually be achieved by reshaping, moving, and augmenting of the cartilaginous support framework of the pinna. Because the occurrence of congenital ear deformities occasionally overlaps with other medical conditions, corrective otoplasty procedures are recommended to be performed by specially trained facial plastic surgeons like the doctors at Wave Plastic Surgery.

### Eyelid Rejuvenation for Men

- URL: https://waveplasticsurgery.com/surgical/men/eyelid-rejuvenation/

Eyelid Rejuvenation for Men At Wave Plastic Surgery Get A Consultation Need A Consultation? Eyelid Rejuvenation in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco As we age, the vast majority of men will notice a sensation of heaviness of their eyebrows, as well as excess skin of the upper eyelids. Sometimes the combination of the two can lead to visual obstruction. The lower eyelids can develop excess skin and wrinkles as early as the mid-20’s, and fullness develops gradually as fat protrudes from the eye socket Who is a candidate? The ideal candidate is in relatively good health, with a desire to have a more refreshed, youthful appearance around the eyes. Patients will have mild to moderate skin excess of the upper and lower eyelids, and moderate puffiness. Although severe skin excess and fatty deposits can be dramatically improved, it is difficult to obtain complete correction in these advanced cases. What are the benefits? Many candidates complain that they appear tired when they are not. Acquaintances will ask if they are angry or grumpy. One of the main benefits is therefore a more refreshed and pleasant appearance. Of course, those with pre-existing visual obstruction will immediate notice better vision How is the procedure performed? Upper and lower eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can be performed under local anesthesia, local with IV sedation, or general anesthesia. It typically occurs in a surgery center or well equipped office OR. Once anesthetized and sedated, excess skin and fatty tissue are removed under sterile conditions, and the incisions are closed meticulously with small sutures. The procedure typically takes an hour, and patients can go home immediately afterwards with supervision. What will recovery be like? Recovery is fairly quick, with minimal discomfort. Most patients do not need opioid medication, although this is available if requested. There is mild bruising and swelling in the first week, and most people return to work or non-strenuous activities in a week. Patients may return to near full activities in a month, although they are very active before that. As will all surgeries, full recovery and results occur at around 6 months. The incisions are nearly imperceptible due to the nature of the upper eyelid skin.

DioLaze At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Diolaze At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Diolaze Hair Removal in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Unlike traditional methods (waxing, shaving, or bleaching), Diolaze laser hair removal impacts the root of the problem, rather than offering a temporary solution. Laser hair removal represents a significant breakthrough in the removal of unwanted body hair. It is based on the principle of selective thermolysis, whereby a specific wavelength of light of an optimal pulse duration is aimed at a dark target that will absorb this light energy, while the surrounding lighter colored tissues are spared. In the case of laser hair removal, that target is melanin, the dark pigment in the hair follicle. For this reason, the ideal combination for laser hair removal is dark hair in light skin. Hair has three phases of growth, but a laser can only affect the hair in its most active phase of early growth, the anagen phase. It is for this reason that several sessions of laser treatment are required to achieve an optimal long-term reduction of hair. After each laser hair removal treatment, the affected hairs are usually shed two to three weeks after each session. It is safe and effective for all skin and hair tones and types. Diolaze can be used on anyone that has unwanted hair on almost any area of the body. Call 888-674-3001 Benefits of Diolaze Hair removal: Eliminates the need to purchase razors and creams Safe and non-toxic: no need for harsh, irritating chemicals A built-in cooling system for comfort than other laser hair removal systems Works with most skin types and hair colors Leaves skin smooth, silky, and permanently hair free WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR DIOLAZE? Diolaze can be used on anyone that has unwanted hair on almost any area of the body. It is safe and effective for all skin and hair tones and types, although results vary based on these traits. Areas we can treat:Bikini lineLegsBackShouldersChestAbdomenNeckChinCheeks (sideburns) HOW LONG SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT? Your treatment time of course depends on the size of the area being treated. An upper lip treatment will take only about 15 minutes, whereas a treatment on both legs might take up to 45 minutes. DOWNTIME AND RECOVERY The treated area is pink to slightly red immediately following treatment but typically subsides within 24 hours. Slight swelling can occur but subsides within 1-3 days. Sunscreen must always be worn for 3 weeks following treatment.

Hair has three phases of growth, but a laser can only affect the hair in its most active phase of early growth, the anagen phase. It is for this reason that several sessions of laser treatment are required to achieve an optimal long-term reduction of hair. After each laser hair removal treatment, the affected hairs are usually shed two to three weeks after each session. LASER CAN GET RID OF UNWANTED HAIR WITH MINIMAL DOWNTIME Our laser hair removal treatment offers the advantages of reduced time for each treatment, maximizing treatment efficacy with optimal wavelength, pulsing, and power, while expanding the range of skin types that can be treated from Type I (light skin) to Type VI (dark skin). Best of all, the treatments are virtually painless because of laser hair removal’s greater comfort cooling system. Diolaze The combination of efficacy, patient comfort, and speed makes Diolaze the leader in hair removal with many benefits including: Built-in cooling system for greater comfort than other laser hair removal systems Works with most skin types and hair colors Leaves skin smooth, and smooth Perfect for both men and women Safe and non-toxic: no need for harsh, irritating chemicals A gentle, efficient, and easy way to permanently remove unwanted body hair!

### Facelift and Neck Lifts for Men

NECK AND FACELIFTS FOR MEN At Wave Plastic Surgery Get A Consultation Need A Consultation? Facelifts for Men in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco As we age, gravity, sun damage and genetics affect all parts of the body and our faces are one of the first areas to show it. The effects of gravity often first appear in your late thirties but become more apparent and prominent once you hit your forties and fifties. Wrinkles, lines, less tonality and sagging cheeks begin taking over your once firm and youthful face. A good face lift for men with a certified plastic surgeon reverses the signs of aging, achieving a naturally youthful appearance and avoiding a “wind blown” look. For older patients, men’s face lift surgery is still the most powerful procedure for providing long-lasting facial rejuvenation. Call 888-674-3001 Ideal Candidates for Facial REJUVENATION Plastic surgery, once primarily associated with women, is growing more popular for men. Facelifts are a common procedure men undergo to return a youthful appearance to their face. With the help of a facelift and a neck lift, men can achieve a much more youthful look that will take years off in a single procedure. An ideal candidate for a men’s neck lift or facelift is someone who has: Wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and nose Deep lines around the mouth and nose Brow furrows Developed jowls Fat deposits under the chin Loose skin around the jawline and chin HOW DOES A FACELIFT WORK? At our certified outpatient surgery center, facelifts for men are performed either with general anesthesia or under IV sedation with local anesthesia. Your Wave plastic surgeon will make a careful incision starting within your hairline above the ear, traveling down in front of the ear, and then finishing behind the ear, tracing down to the hairline at the back of your neck. The skin is not lifted up much, but a layer of tissue called the SMAS/Platysma is elevated extensively. This is used to re-elevate the facial structures and reposition the tissues to its more youthful location. This face lift for men procedure method ensures a natural appearance. In addition to the facelift, if you opt for a dermal filler or implant, these procedures can enhance the overall results. Also, for those seeking a more defined facial structure, a reduction in certain areas, whether it be your nose or chin, can be discussed with your surgeon. These procedures, if chosen, are designed to complement the facelift and contribute to a refreshed look. After your facelift, you will be scheduled for several follow-up appointments to receive medications for minimizing swelling. We will provide you with specific care instructions to aid in the recovery process, such as when it is safe to wash your hair and when. Most of your surgical incision lines will be well hidden beneath your hair and will progressively fade over time. You will experience some temporary numbness and swelling after your procedure, but you should be ready to return to work and normal activity with a younger look in about two weeks. Even though it’s a comprehensive cosmetic treatment, the makeover doesn’t require an extended downtime and is relatively easy to recover from. A BETTER FACELIFT AT WAVE PLASTIC SURGERY All of our doctors perform the facelift procedure in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Orange County CA areas with a keen attention to detail. While other plastic surgery practices may often treat facelift surgery the same for each patient, we consider each patient’s specific situation and carefully listen to their goals and expectations to formulate a proper procedure plan. If you’re interested in getting a men’s facelift in Los Angeles, know that you will be getting the best results, There are numerous details and techniques that we adhere to when performing your facelift to ensure beautiful results. These are some of the guidelines we consider with all of our facelift patients:The incision must be precisely perpendicular so that there is a good approximation during closure to ensure a scar that will be hardly noticeable. Near the cartilage portion of the ear, the skin must be cut thin so that the area appears more natural. Skin undermining should be minimal to ensure smoothness and less disruption of blood vessels so that there is faster and better healing. The SMAS/Platysma tissue should be extensively undermined to reposition tissues. There are tissues called retaining ligament, which must be completely released to assure a tension-free movement of the soft tissue. These ligaments are located along the malar bone, cheeks, and along the jaw and chin. By releasing these ligaments, we have the freedom to reposition and tighten drooping tissue. For people with wrinkles along the side of the eyes, the muscle can be transected to weaken the lines. For people with nasojugal groove (a line beneath the malar bone and the cheeks) the malar fat pad must be separately elevated and suspended. Patients with heavy nasolabial fold, should undergo careful micro-liposuction over the malar fat pad or have fat grafting to the nasolabial fold. Patients with heavy jowls, should also undergo careful liposuction of the overlying fat. Also, the retaining ligaments of the jawline must all be released in the chin area. Patients with a wide lower third of the face who wish for a slimmer look can benefit from the removal of the buccal fat pad. For some areas that are depressed, SMAS can be folded upon itself to augment certain areas such as submalar region. The corner of the mouth can be elevated to give you a appearance. For people with excess neck fat, the neck must be very aggressively treated. Not only is the Platysma/skin pulled from the sides, but also from the middle. A small incision is made in the natural crease under the chin. Through this area, the fat underneath the skin is removed. Also, there is a fat layer underneath the platysma muscle called the subplatysmal fat pad which should be removed. Then the platysma can be...

Gynecomastia Surgery At Wave Plastic Surgery Get A Consultation Need A Consultation? Gynecomastias in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco The human body undergoes a wide range of changes as it gets older. Unfortunately, several of these changes can lead to the development of stubborn pockets of fat that seem nearly impossible to get rid of. If you are struggling with localized areas of fat that aren’t improving with healthy lifestyle choices, liposuction can help provide you with the slimmer body you’ve been working toward. Call 888-674-3001 What is a Male Breast Reduction? A male breast reduction is the most effective known treatment for gynecomastia (male breast). This cosmetic procedure removes excess fat and glandular tissue to restore a flatter, firmer and more masculine contour to the chest. Due to genetics, use of certain medications, or other unidentified reasons, some men develop the appearance of enlarged breasts. Gynecomastia can present at any age, and male breast reduction can be performed safely and successfully on teenagers and adult men. Why have a male breast reduction? Boosts Confidence and your Self- Esteem Enjoy a More Masculine Figure Improves Posture Eases Physical Activity Free Your Mind Returning to normal Limiting activity helps the body recover during a period in which it is more susceptible to injury and aids in not prolonging the recovery period. Most patients take a day or two off before returning to work and other normal daily activities. Strenuous activity should be avoided for the first two weeks after surgery. Most importantly, upper body or chest workouts may resume incrementally after four weeks unless otherwise instructed Get Your Gynecomastia Consultation Today Give us a call today to schedule your male breast reduction consultation with one of our plastic surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Labiaplasty At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Labiaplasty in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Some women are dissatisfied with the appearance of their vaginal area. This may cause them to feel self-conscious and experience discomfort. A labiaplasty involves surgically trimming the labial tissue to create a more compact appearance. At Wave surgical techniques are used to achieve a more balanced labia and toned vaginal structure. Women report feeling more confident and comfortable after their vaginal rejuvenation procedure. Call 888-674-3001 What is Labiaplasty? Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that is becoming increasingly popular among women who want to improve the appearance and function of their labia. The labia are the folds of skin that surround the vaginal opening, and they come in many different shapes and sizes. While there is no "normal" or "ideal" size for the labia, some women may experience discomfort or self-consciousness due to their size or shape. Labiaplasty can help to reduce or reshape the labia, improving both appearance and function. Labiaplasty is the reconstruction of the Labial tissues. If the tissues such as the Labia Minora or the Labia Majora are too large, become painful during athletics due to rubbing, or are disfigured from prior surgical procedures (such as an episiotomy), these tissues can be repaired with a cosmetic procedure that has excellent results both functionally and cosmetically. In a labial reconstruction surgery, the excess labial tissue is removed, and the incisions are closed with fine sutures in a plastic repair. After recovery, the labia will appear normal but smaller. Post-operative pain is minimal, and recovery is approximately 7- 10 days Good Candidates for Labiaplasty Labiaplasty is a personal decision that should be made after careful consideration and discussion with a qualified plastic surgeon. Some women may be good candidates for the procedure if they: Are experiencing physical discomfort, such as chafing or irritation, due to the size or shape of their labia. Are experiencing emotional distress or low self-esteem due to the appearance of their labia. Are unhappy with the way their labia look in clothing or during intimate activities. Have asymmetry or irregularities in the labia that cause discomfort or embarrassment. How is Vaginal Rejuvenation Performed? Vaginal rejuvenation is performed in-office with the use of local or general anesthesia for your comfort. During vaginal rejuvenation, the following techniques may be used: Labiaplasty A labiaplasty is a technique used to address the length of the labia minora. During a labiaplasty procedure, excess tissue is surgically removed from the labia to improve their size, shape, and symmetry. Clitoral Hood Reduction During a clitoral hood reduction, excess skin is removed from above the clitoris. This procedure can be performed for aesthetic reasons, or to enhance sensation. Pubic Reduction During a pubic reduction, the fatty tissue on the pubic area is reduced using surgical techniques. At the same time, a lift can be performed to address any sagging in the pubic area. The Labiaplasty Process Labiaplasty is typically an outpatient that is done under general anesthesia. During the procedure, our plastic surgeon will carefully remove or reshape the excess tissue of the labia, creating a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The procedure can take anywhere from one to two hours, depending on the extent of the surgery. Here's what to expect from the procedure. Preoperative Evaluation A preoperative evaluation is required prior to all surgical procedures. This involves a complete Medical history and Physical exam. A number of issues will be determined at that time. These include the degree of prior labial trauma and the type of repair required to achieve the desired results. This is a plastic repair resulting in the labia appearing entirely normal, with Virtually no visible scarring. Day of Surgery On the day of surgery, the patient will arrive at the Surgical Center approximately one hour prior to their scheduled procedure. Our Board Certified Anesthesiologists will discuss the types of anesthesia available and if the patient has any allergies. An IV will be started, and once the patient is under anesthesia, they will be taken to the operating room. Recovery & Post-Operative Care Following surgery, the patient will be monitored for about one to one and a half hours. There will be no bandages to change or tubes in the bladder. Pain medication will be given in the recovery room if needed. However, this is not typically necessary immediately after surgery as the surgeon will the patient pain medication prior to them waking up from Anesthesia. At discharge, non-narcotic oral pain medication is given to the patient. Patients typically have no problems urinating after the procedure. If the patient begins their menstrual cycle, tampons should be avoided until approximately 3-4 weeks after surgery. We recommend daily showering. However, taking baths should be avoided for about two weeks. Full sexual function may be resumed approximately 3-4 weeks after the surgery Our Labiaplasty Specialist HARVEY S. RICHMOND M. D. Dr. Richmond has an extensive educational and practice background. After completing his undergraduate training, he went to Pharmacy school, which prepared him for his goal, which was to complete Medical School with knowledge of Pharmaceutical treatment of disease.

Facetite in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco WAVE offers a number of radiofrequency skin tightening treatments and FaceTite is ideal for the face. Best of all it is a minimally invasive procedure with long-lasting results. Call 888-674-3001 How FaceTite Works FaceTite is a safe minimally invasive procedure that delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin. This means the RF energy and heat are highly controlled and delivered with precision. A FaceTite cannula is inserted in the treatment area and then the radiofrequency energy flows outward from that cannula toward an external electrode. This procedure is performed by WAVE’s expert staff and we ensure you are comfortable for the entire treatment. That means that treatment areas will be numbed via tumescent anesthesia and then a small incision is made where the cannula is inserted. The treatment is usually about an hour and patients are awake during the procedure. https://youtu. be/xRXBZgwBKzo What to Expect with FaceTite FaceTite is a minimally invasive treatment which means that it doesn’t have many of the downsides that come with surgery (like extended downtime, stitches, and scars). Unlike some of the other radiofrequency treatments, patients typically see results from FaceTite quite quickly. It could be as soon as immediately or after a few days. Results will continue to improve over time and can last for up to five years. Furthermore, FaceTite can be paired with other procedures (like liposuction) for enhanced results. While other treatments like BodyTite use this same radiofrequency technology on the body, FaceTite is ideal for areas throughout the face including: Cheeks Chin Jowls In fact, patients are using FaceTite for: Firming and tightening the skin Stimulating collagen production Treating the signs of aging in the face Subscribe to Receive Exclusive Email Specials First name(Required) Last Name(Required) Email(Required) Specials and Announcements(Required) By submitting this form, you are consenting to receive text/ email marketing communications from Wave Plastic Surgery NameThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Related Procedures BodyTite in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Patients love the tightening and sculpting effects from BodyTite! This exciting and innovative, minimally-invasive treatment uses the power of radiofrequency energy to deliver some amazing results. See more BodyTite Results in our Before & After gallery! How Does BodyTite Work? BodyTite is a highly effective and safe procedure that uses radiofrequency to essentially melt fat through radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL). RFAL is achieved by inserting an electrode on the BodyTite machine into the treatment area. RF energy is that passed between the internal electrode (that is inserted in the skin) and an additional electrode that sits on the surface of the skin. This procedure is safe, and patients are kept comfortable the entire time. Before the electrodes are inserted the patient will receive a tumescent injection which not only numbs but also ensures optimal results from the procedure. Treatment time is relatively quick (about 30-45 mins) but will vary based on the number of treatment areas. Results are typically seen in about three months and will continue to get better over time. https://youtu. be/Ty-aT57bU08 What BodyTite Does BodyTite is quickly becoming a very popular procedure at WAVE. Here are some of the reasons that our patients love BodyTite: It is minimally invasive and doesn’t come with the downsides of surgical procedures Perfect for contouring the body Can be combined with other procedures like liposuction for even better results Treatment is fast and easy Ideal for tightening skin especially from aging, weight loss, or childbirth BodyTite can be safely used throughout the body. Some of the most popular treatment areas include: Breasts Love handles Neck Arms Abdomen Buttocks And More! Is BodyTite right for you? BodyTite isn’t for everyone, and it is important to remember that BodyTite isn’t a weight loss solution. For patients with excessive skin laxity, it might be best to consider another treatment at WAVE. However, for those patients that desire to tighten their skin after the birth of a child, weight loss, or even due to aging, BodyTite is a very effective treatment. If you are looking for an alternative to surgery or a way to enhance your results from another procedure (such as liposuction) BodyTite is a wonderful choice. We encourage you to schedule a consultation with WAVE’s expert staff. We’ll answer your questions and show you what treatment options are available to you.

Depending on the area(s) treated it is advised that patients just take it easy for a few days after treatment. Results from AccuTite continue to get better over time as collagen production increases.

Xeomin At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Xeomin At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Injectable Wrinkle Treatment Xeomin in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Over the years, smiling, frowning, and squinting leads to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your skin. Xeomin is a non-surgical injectable treatment like Botox that works to improve the appearance of the signs of aging caused by these repeated facial expressions. If you’re tired of seeing the signs of aging creep in every time you look in the mirror, you may be a good candidate for Xeomin in Los Angeles. Call 888-674-3001 Read More How Does Xeomin Work? Xeomin is made with botulinum toxin type A, the same purified protein that is used in Botox. However, unlike Botox, Xeomin leaves out some of the other accompanying proteins. When Xeomin is injected into the skin, the botulinum toxin works to relax the underlying facial muscles to prevent them from contracting. By doing so, Xeomin is able to improve the appearance of existing frown lines and wrinkles between the eyes while also preventing new ones from appearing. During your consultation, we will talk with you so we understand your expectations and the look you want to achieve. Because Xeomin is intended mainly for the improvement of frown lines, we may recommend supplementing your treatment with other injectables or fillers to achieve a more complete rejuvenation of your entire face. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=jFIvjNwPq-s Xeomin Pre-Treatment: Ensure face is clean of makeup and lotions prior to treatment. Stop nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Advil, Aleve, Excedrin, Motrin, and aspirin 1-2 weeks prior to your scheduled treatment. Stop fish oil, ginseng, vitamin A, and vitamin E 1-2 weeks prior to your scheduled treatment. Arnica supplements have been shown to reduce discomfort, bruising, and swelling and may be taken prior to your scheduled treatment. Topical numbing cream may be requested for added comfort. If you have a history of cold sores, an antiviral medication may be prescribed prior to treatment. Bruising and swelling is possible, therefore we recommend that you schedule any social plans accordingly. 7-10 days is recommended following your injection. Xeomin Post-Treatment: Do NOT lie down 4 hrs after treatment. Do NOT manipulate the treated area for 24hrs after treatment. It can take approximately 7-10 days for results to be seen. If the desired results are not seen after 2 weeks after your treatment, you may need more Botox. Do NOT perform activities that involve straining, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise for 24 hrs after treatment. Redness and tenderness at the injection site is expected and will subside over time. Take Arnica to help with bruising or swelling. How Long Will it Take to Recover from Xeomin? There is typically no downtime associated with Xeomin. You should be able to get right back to work or your daily routine after a short, 20 minute treatment in the comfort of our own office. It really is as easy as squeezing in an appointment during your lunch break and looking years younger just a few days later. It will take a few days for you to notice the lines and wrinkles begin to smooth away, and the maximum effect of your Xeomin treatment will be apparent after about a month. Most continue to see results for about three months before returning for further touch-up treatments.

SCULPTRA At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Sculptra At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Sculptra in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Sculptra is a revolutionary facial injectable designed to stimulate and harness your body’s own reparative and regenerative processes to restore volume, softness, and elasticity to the face. The main ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic injectable compound that has been widely used in dissolvable sutures and soft tissue implants for decades. Call 888-674-3001 What Does Sculptra Do? Part of the beauty of treatment with Sculptra is that its effects unfold naturally and gradually over time. Sculptra is especially helpful in treating wrinkles along the nasolabial fold (smile lines), wrinkles that frame the mouth (marionette lines), and chin wrinkles, but, in fact, it can be used to add volume over much of the area of the entire face. https://youtu. be/GKPy1zeax48 How Long Does Sculptra Take? A full course treatment of Sculptra typically involves three to four injection sessions with three-week to six-week intervals between each session. The aesthetic improvement resulting from treatment with Sculptra can last up to two years. How Does Sculptra Work? The injection of Sculptra into the deep dermis of the skin of the face triggers an inflammatory reaction that causes an upregulation of the activity of fibroblasts in the skin In this way, Sculptra stimulates the replacement of the skin’s collagen that has declined with age, and gradually restores volume in areas of the skin that have developed wrinkles and deeper folds. With time the poly-L-lactic acid particles themselves are metabolized to carbon dioxide and water, and expelled through the respiratory system so that all that remains is the new collagen whose production Sculptra has triggered. The deep dermal layer is responsible for the majority of the strength and structural support of the skin. The protein that is the major component of this structural support is collagen. Fibroblasts are cells that speed wound healing and provide the structural framework of the skin by producing collagen. Collagen is the major structural protein in the skin, responsible for its thickness, strength, and shape. In youth, collagen makes up 80% of the volume of the skin, but after the age of 25, we lose about 1% of our total volume of collagen each successive year, leading to increased skin laxity and visible wrinkles and skin folds.

Over the years, your skin’s supply of collagen begins to break down. As this happens, your face loses volume and elasticity, resulting in an aged appearance comprised of lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. Radiesse is a remarkably effective volumizing filler that can turn the years of aging into the younger face of your past.

How Does RADIESSE Work? Radiesse is a Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) based dermal filler that is injected beneath the skin. Using a gel containing CaHA microspheres, Radiesse works to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production to provide you with continued improvement even after the initial volumizing effect. As the CaHA microspheres are metabolized by your body all that is left is a new supply of collagen in your skin. People often find themselves facing troublesome areas of stored fat due to: Flat chin Hollow temples Imperfections of the bridge of the nose Marionette lines Nasolabial folds Oral commissures Sagging brow Sunken or hollow cheeks Weakened contours of the jawline Radiesse can also be used for non-surgical hand rejuvenation to reduce the appearance of bony, aged hands. After all, you can work on refreshing every other part of your body, but your hands may still be an area giving away your age. We will discuss your options when you come in for your consultation and determine the right treatment plan for you HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM RADIESSE? Radiesse will give you instant results with little to no downtime. With each Radiesse treatment lasting just about a half-hour, you can easily fit it in during your lunch break or as a part of your daily errands. You will notice an immediate change in the look of your face the first time you look in the mirror and your results will only continue to improve as your skin begins creating new collagen. Many of our patients have experienced results lasting for a year or more. Your face will appear several years younger, as if the last few years of aging had never happened.

HOW DOES JUVÉDERM VOLUMA WORK? It is normal for our faces to deflate and lose volume due to the effects of aging, gravity and sun damage. Using hyaluronic acid (HA), a moisturizing substance abundant in younger skin, Juvéderm Voluma replenishes volume in the cheeks and around the chin. By restoring volume in these areas, Voluma is also able to lift the mid-face, providing somewhat of a non-surgical facelift effect. During your consultation, we will speak with you and listen to your expectations in order to develop a plan that will help you to look the way you did years before – rather than a completely different person. Our goal is always to achieve a completely natural looking rejuvenation. Bringing a picture of yourself from a few years ago can help provide us with a helpful example of what you’re expecting. You will notice an immediate change in your face as we administer each injection of Voluma. Your cheeks will become more rounded and take on a more youthful contour. Injecting Voluma around the chin can help to relieve any sagging or drooping that has started to set in. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM JUVÉDERM? Most of our patients are able to go back to their normal routines right after their treatment – whether that is heading back to work after their quick 30 minute treatment, or catching up on some errands. As one of the longest lasting fillers, you can see results from a single Voluma treatment for up to two years. Feeling confident about the way you look can often translate into several lifestyle improvements. Many of our patients say they feel better and more comfortable in their everyday lives, at work, or simply spending time with friends and family.

The added years of sun damage, gravity and heredity cause your skin to lose collagen and elasticity, causing a loss of facial volume, depressions in the skin and wrinkles. Juvéderm is a popular hyaluronic acid based dermal filler used to fill in these areas beneath the skin to restore a youthful look. At Wave Plastic Surgery, you can be treated with Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC to achieve that naturally younger look you remember from years before.

How Does Juvéderm Work? Juvéderm uses a hyaluronic acid-based gel to fill in the area beneath the skin and restore volume. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance that is naturally occurring in your body, so it is completely safe for your skin. In your skin, HA acts as a sponge, absorbing water and moisturizing your skin from the inside-out keeping it looking young and healthy. Over time, your skin begins to lose hyaluronic acid due to external factors such as sunlight and environmental damage. By injecting hyaluronic acid back into the skin with Juvéderm, we are able to treat common signs of aging such as: Loss of facial volume Moderate to severe lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth Nasolabial folds (Parentheses) Thin lips (non-surgical lip augmentation) During your consultation, we will carefully go over your Juvéderm treatment so we are best able to provide you with your desired look. Feel free to bring an older picture of yourself so we may have a better idea of what look you are aiming for. Because the results of Juvéderm are immediate, you will be able to see the results in your face as each injection is administered by your Los Angeles plastic surgeon. This way, we will be able to work together to achieve your optimal results. https://youtu. be/o24UIulNb-Q How Long Will it Take to Recover from Juvéderm? Juvéderm treatments require no recovery time. You may experience some slight discomfort or redness, but these should pass over the next day or two. It is important to avoid excessive sun exposure and wear sunscreen when you go out – especially if you’re taking a trip to the beach. Results from your Juvéderm Ultra Plus treatment can last for up to a full year! It is the first and only of its kind to be approved by the FDA to provide results that last this long. Once you feel the results begin to fade, you are more than welcome to return for touch-up treatments. For the best overall results, many of our patients choose to supplement their filler with different non-surgical treatments such as Botox.

Call 888-674-3001 Read More Wave Plastic Surgery: a Leading Botox Provider in the U. S. When you smile, frown, or anything in between, your facial muscles are pulling and folding your skin in order to show your expressions. As these facial contractions occur more and more as you age, lines and wrinkles begin developing on the surface of your skin where it has been constantly folded and pushed. The way Botox works is by relaxing these underlying muscles to soften your expressions and improve the appearance of the signs of aging. Botox can be used to treat common problems such as: Crow's Feet Frown Lines Nasolabial Folds Your Los Angeles plastic surgeon at Wave Plastic Surgery will listen to what your goal look is in order to determine where the Botox will need to be injected. Having an older picture of yourself will help us to better preserve your own unique look for results that appear completely natural – as if you had just gone a few years back in time. How Long Will it Take to Recover from Botox? You should be able to go back to your normal routine immediately after your Botox treatment. Just make sure to protect yourself from the California sun with sunscreen to prevent any unwanted side effects. Over the course of a few days, you will begin noticing improvements in the look of your skin as any existing lines or wrinkles begin to fade away. Most patients see continued results for up to 3-6 months, and once you feel the lines or wrinkles coming back, you can return for some touch-up treatments to maintain a long-lasting youthful look.

Call 888-674-3001 As We Age Our Balance is Thrown Off Humans, just like every other living creature on Earth, gradually age as the years pass by. It seems that time is the only thing against us when it comes to our physical appearance – but what’s more alarming is that our health and well-being start to deteriorate as well. Fortunately, there are measures we can all take to keep our energy levels up and replenish what we are lacking in our bodies. Nothing can reverse the natural process of aging, but we can all make sure we live the rest of our lives healthier and happier than before. According to scientists, the causes of aging include but aren't limited to oxidative stress, glycation telomere shortening, side reactions, aggregation of proteins, etc. In other words, it's the damage done to these systems in our bodies that we characterize and perceive as aging. One of the most possible reason is too much “active oxygen”. Oxygen is an essential element but at the same time, it causes aging and diseases. There are also dozens of aging symptoms that everyone experiences differently due to stress, lifestyle, and more. Are You Suffering From Any of These Issues Listed Below? Here are issues that you could be experiencing when getting older: Hot flashes Fatigue Night sweats Low libido Insomnia Irritability Mood swings Weight gain Depression Anxiety Poor exercise tolerance Cold body temperature Cold hands and feet Uterine fluid Cystic ovaries Foggy thinking Increased facial hair Oily skin Allergies Acne Heart Disease Decreased concentration Insulin resistance Swelling eyes Sugar craving High blood sugar Difficulty losing weight If you answered yes to any of these, there is an opportunity for you to take back your life and renew the energy inside you. How the Process Looks Aging is perfectly normal part of life, but if its taking a tole on your physical and mental health, WAVE Plastic Surgery can help you achieve a more confident and healthier you.

Kybella At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Kybella At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Kybella in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Kybella is a new FDA-approved treatment designed to remove fat from under the chin (i. e. , a “double chin”) without surgery. The technique involves the injection of deoxycholic acid beneath the skin of the submental region, an area extending from the chin back to the angle of the jaw on either side. As we age and gradually gain more weight over time, this area becomes more and more convex (i. e. , bulging) a change that is sometimes dramatically demonstrated by photographs taken from a profile view. Call 888-674-3001 Read More Evaluation of Kybella Los Angeles patients interested in Kybella are examined and evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine whether they are good candidates for this treatment. Other possible causes of submental fullness (fat beneath the chin) include conditions such as cervical lymphadenopathy and thyromegaly. Contraindications to the injection of Kybella such as pre-existing dysphagia or the use of anticoagulant therapy, are carefully ruled out prior to administering the treatment. In addition, because patients are evaluated initially by plastic surgeons, a careful assessment can be made as to whether treatment with Kybella can meet their aesthetic goals and expectations. Although Kybella is a significant addition to our quiver of nonsurgical rejuvenating treatments, it is not the answer to all aesthetic problems of the neck and submental region. It will not, for instance, be able to cure platysmal banding (the presence of a “turkey gobbler” on the neck), although injection of Kybella with Botox may improve the appearance of the neck. Nor can Kybella treat issues of skin laxity or redundancy, although, in some cases, pairing Kybella with non-invasive skin-tightening procedures may work well. More importantly, because we are a plastic surgery practice, we are experts in the anatomy of the neck and submental region, including the course and location of significant blood vessels and nerves, muscles, salivary glands and lymph nodes. We are also knowledgeable in the surgical and aesthetic procedures available for these regions which patients may have undergone prior to seeking treatment with Kybella. By the same token, as plastic surgeons, we have the ability to choose one or a combination of noninvasive and surgical procedures that will most efficiently allow you to achieve your aesthetic goals. Kybella 1d Kybella 1c Kybella 1b Real Wave Patient. See more on our Before & After gallery! Administration We use a combination of topical anesthetic and ice packs to minimize patient discomfort during the injection of Kybella. Prior to injection, the planned treatment area is carefully marked, along with important nerves and blood vessels that must be avoided. A precise grid for the evenly spaced small volume subcutaneous injections is then drawn within the previously demarcated treatment area. The injections themselves are performed by carefully drawing the skin and targeted submental fat up and away from the soft tissue beneath it. We use extremely small needles to inject Kybella in order to precisely localize placement of the solution into the center of the subcutaneous submental fat pocket and to further minimize patient discomfort and swelling. After injection, we temporarily apply a snug adhesive dressing to further minimize any minor bruising or swelling. Up to 10cc of Kybella (100mg) may be administered in this manner in a given treatment. We are scrupulous in our practice about only using fresh Kybella solution. Any unused solution is discarded at the end of each treatment. The number of injections administered during each treatment, their placement, and the total number of treatments is precisely tailored to the specific topography of each patient’s unique distribution of submental fat, as well as his or her individual treatment goals. Patients can undergo up to six treatment sessions at intervals of one month to achieve maximal treatment of the submental region.

inmode At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Inmode At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Radio Frequency Skin Tightening InMode in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco WAVE Plastic Surgery offers a wide variety of procedures and services, and we are excited to announce three new and innovative tools: AccuTite, FaceTite, and BodyTite. AccuTite, FaceTite, and BodyTite are designed for treating laxity in the skin and provide many of the benefits of surgery without the scars. These treatments harness the power of radio frequency technology to melt fat, tighten the skin, and stimulate collagen production. Call 888-674-3001 How Inmode Works Using RFAL (which stands for radio frequency assisted lipolysis), AccuTite, BodyTite, and FaceTite are able to tighten the skin as well as reduce the fatty areas deep below the skin. A cannula, or small probe, will be gently inserted into the areas requiring treatment, and a secondary external electrode rests above the surface. The RF energy then flows between these devices, liquifying fat and tightening skin in a single treatment. These treatments are very fast and only take about an hour depending on the number of areas that are being tightened. https://youtu. be/limkbdelEgs Where is the best place for radio frequency tightening? The beauty of this system is that you can use it throughout the face and body. On the face, some of the most popular places to use radio frequency tightening are: Brows Nasolabial Folds The Periorbital Areas (Around the Eyes) Lower Face and Neck On the body, radio frequency tightening can be used to treat the following: Bra Fat Upper Arms Hands Abdomen Thighs Knees Who is a Good Candidate? It is important to note that this procedure isn’t for everyone. We’ve noticed that patients with a tremendous amount of laxity in their skin, or heavy lines and wrinkles, might not be the best fit. This procedure is a great fit for those patients who are looking to tighten up their skin, shape their body, or even see some enhanced results on another surgery like a liposuction or facelift. What is the Recovery time Like? Every patient is a little bit different, which means there will be some variation in recovery time. Although the treatment is virtually painless, it is common to experience some swelling and bruising which typically disappears in 5-7 days. We recommend patients take it easy after surgery, meaning that they avoid any strenuous activity for about 2 weeks. Results from this procedure last for a very long time and continue to improve as the body increases natural collagen production. Why Wave Plastic Surgery for Skin Tightening? All of WAVE’s doctors are board-certified plastic surgeons that possess decades of knowledge and firsthand experience. When we apply our knowledge, expertise, and commitment to our patients with these RF tightening devices, we can produce some truly amazing results that patients love. Best of all, our expert team will make sure you are comfortable from start to finish. Why patients love AccuTite, FaceTite, and BodyTite These radio frequency tightening procedures are great on their own and they can be used to enhance the results of other surgeries like liposuction. Furthermore, areas that were once tough to reach (such as the area around the eyes, the laugh lines and even the knees) are now accessible and easily treated. You’ll love these RF tightening procedures because: Virtually painless and fast Used throughout the body Long-lasting results that continue to get better over time No scars and little downtime Ready to learn more about this state-of-the-art non-surgical procedure?

Patients describe their HydraFacial experience as transformative, relaxing, and soothing. Honestly, once you’ve tried HydraFacial, it will be tough to go back to traditional facials. Unlike some other facial treatments that limit the scope in what they provide, the HydraFacial offers a complete treatment that includes a cleanse, exfoliation, and hydration of the skin. After patients are comfortable and ready to begin, the aesthetician will begin the cleanse. The cleanse paves the way for a very light peel and resurfacing getting the skin ready for the healing and hydration. Next will be a light extraction. While this can be a painful and unpleasant experience with other facial treatments, it is actually quite relaxing with HydraFacial. This is because of the unique vacuum technology that gently sucks out the blackheads. Finally, it is time to hydrate the skin. This phase is really where HydraFacial shines as there are a number of boosts that can be added to the skin to achieve some remarkable results. https://youtu. be/J-gDHTo4QqU HydraFacial Boosts WAVE offers 5 different boosts to customize your treatment and deliver amazing results. Rozatrol Booster Serum: Perfect for anti-redness and created by ZO Skin Health who makes some of the best skincare solutions available.

Coolsculpting in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco What if we told you that you can freeze away your problem fat – that those areas you shyly cover up at the beach can disappear without having to undergo surgery or even be injected with anything? It’s a real procedure here at Wave Plastic Surgery. With CoolSculpting in Los Angeles, you can dramatically reduce the appearance of those pesky bulges around your midsection without any downtime or invasive treatment. Call 888-674-3001 Read More Coolsculpting is the World's #1 Non-invasive Fat Reduction Procedure CoolSculpting is a non-surgical body contouring procedure that uses an advanced cooling treatment known as Cryolipolysis to target problem fat around the midsection. These fat cells are cooled to a temperature that causes them to crystallize, then are naturally eliminated from your body over the course of a few months. The results of CoolSculpting are not instant, but you will notice your body slim down gradually over time. Your clothes will begin to fit better and those bulges will start to flatten out. At the end of your treatment, the layer of fat that once sat around your midsection in the form of love handles and bulges will be significantly decreased. Long-term results can be maintained as long as you continue to exercise regularly and eat right. IS COOLSCULPTING RIGHT FOR ME? CoolSculpting in Los Angeles is not intended for the treatment of large amounts of fat. It is best for those who are struggling with moderate areas of stubborn fat around the midsection that have stopped responding to diet and exercise. It’s important to keep in mind the results of your CoolSculpting in Los Angeles treatment will take some time to fully show. If you are looking for a faster solution, alternative body contouring procedures like SmartLipo may be a better option for you. Because CoolSculpting in Los Angeles is a non-invasive procedure and is fairly quick, treatment is easy to fit into your daily routine and there is no downtime required. You can literally come in during your lunch break and start the process of shedding those extra inches without missing a beat. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=mvgvaaWq_3Y&t=97s GET A MORE CONTOURED NECK WITH COOLMINI https://youtu. be/cSBzoOr0lscDon’t let your double chin be the single thing you see!

OR Call 888-674-3001 PGF Hydroinjection At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Hydroinjection in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally-occurring polysaccharide found in the extracellular matrix of the skin. It has the unique ability to absorb up to 1000 times its weight in water, thus keeping the skin hydrated, and imparting to it a look and feel of softness, smoothness and health. Our ability to produce HA declines with age, and as it does, our skin increasingly exhibits signs of dryness, fine lines, deeper wrinkles, and sagginess. The ability of HA to efficiently absorb water, and expand in volume as it does so, has led to its increasing popularity as a dermal filler for spot injections in different areas of the face. More recently, there has also been some scientific evidence that HA may also serve to stimulate collagen production, in addition to directly restoring volume itself. Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center has harnessed the power of HA to smooth and hydrate the skin of the entire face, as well as amplify the production of collagen in the dermis, with its new PGF Hydroinjection treatment. The PGF Hydroinjection system allows precise micro droplets of HA to be delivered to the dermal layer of the skin in a thorough full face treatment. In order to supplement the stimulation of collagen production, the HA is mixed with PGF purified from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. PGF is rich in growth factors that promote increased production of collagen and elastin by the fibroblasts in the facial skin. The result is a complete treatment, with no downtime, that leaves the facial skin looking plump, soft and rejuvenated for months. The procedure can be safely repeated every three months to maintain the skin’s youthful glow.

Face Procedures From Wave Plastic Surgery There are many reasons why our patients choose to undergo facial plastic surgery. Whether they are looking to regain a youthful appearance, achieve a more balanced symmetry, or refine areas they are unhappy with, our Los Angeles plastic surgeons have years of experience in performing some of the country’s most popular cosmetic facial procedures for men and women of all ages and cultural backgrounds. With a specialty in Asian plastic surgery, we often meet with men and women of Asian descent who are considering procedures such as Asian eyelid surgery and Asian nose surgery. When it comes to addressing the signs of aging, our doctors are able to achieve beautiful, natural-looking results through years of training and a deep understanding of facial structure and anatomy. Rather than coming out of surgery looking like a totally different person, it will be as though you merely reverted to a younger version of yourself. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we provide our Los Angeles plastic surgery patients with the following facial surgeries. Double Eyelid Surgery Men and women of Asian descent who want a wider, more Western appearance of their eyes can undergo our Asian double eyelid surgery in Los Angeles. Our doctors are specialists in Asian plastic surgery and have performed this unique eyelid surgery procedure numerous times. See the Asian Double-Eyelid Surgery Page DCF & Asian Rhinoplasty Those of Asian descent typically have a flatter bridge of the nose and wider nostrils. With Asian Rhinoplasty in Los Angeles, we can reshape the nose to achieve the aesthetic angles and definition you desire. See the Asian Nose Surgery Page Endoscopic Brow Lift The brow and forehead area is often the first part of our body to clearly show the signs of aging. Heaviness and drooping of the eyebrows can give us a tired, and sometimes even an angry or depressed look. Drooping of the eyebrows may also produce heaviness of the upper eyelids, possibly causing hooding of the upper lid skin if you have an existing supratarsal fold. See the Brow Lift Page Curelift What if one procedure could easily remove 10 years of aging? If you are unhappy with facial wrinkles, folds, and jowls, a Curelift might be right for you! Curelift can address these signs of aging for a younger, rejuvenated appearance. Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing a younger more refreshed version of you. See the Curelift Page Cheek Surgery Whether you are unhappy with a gaunt and hollow look, or cheeks that are too wide or full, we offer both cheek augmentation and reduction at Wave Plastic Surgery. See the Cheek Surgery Page Upper/Lower Eye-lid Your eyes can be giving away your age. With upper and lower eyelid surgery, we can treat sagging of the eyelids and bags beneath the eyes to liven up the look of your eyes for a more youthful appearance. See the Upper Lower Eye-lid Page FaceLift Surgery The facelift continues to be one of the more popular plastic surgery procedures. When it comes to treating sagging skin, jowls and skin folds, a combination facelift and neck lift procedure at Wave Plastic Surgery is second to none. See the Facelift Page Fat Transfer You can now achieve a fuller, more youthful look through facial fat transfer. Unwanted fat is harvested from areas of excess throughout your body to fill out any facial hollows, wrinkles, and folds. See the Fat Transfer Page Flashlift The signs of aging happen to everyone, and the face is often one of the first places to show this. Looking younger is easier than you might think, thanks to an innovative procedure called the Flash Lift. Exclusively available at WAVE Plastic Surgery, the Flash Lift allows patients to receive all the benefits of a facelift without the surgery. See the flash lift Page Jaw SUrgery A jaw that is out of balance with the rest of your face can cause other features to appear bigger or smaller than they actually are. To achieve harmony throughout your face, we offer jaw reduction and jaw enhancement surgery. See the jaw surgery Page Lip Enhancement With a non-surgical lip augmentation, we can turn your thinning lips into a fuller, natural-looking smile. See the Lip Enhancement Page Endoscopic Mid Facelift A mid-facelift can be used to improve the appearance of sagging skin, wrinkles, or a hollowed appearance of the mid-face and cheeks. See the Mid Facelift Page NewLift New Lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses NovaThread dissolvable threads that are injected into the dermis to stimulate collagen and lift underlying tissue. For those interested in returning to a youthful, healthy appearance, New Lift at WAVE offers patients results like a traditional face and neck lift with no incisions, no scars and no downtime. See the Newlift Page Nose Surgery If you are unhappy with the look of your nose – whether you feel it is too small, too big, crooked, drooping, etc. – our nose reshaping surgery can help to provide you with the look you desire. See the Nose Surgery Page Precision Lift The Precision Lift is a specialized laser system combined with liposuction to treat the changes of aging and weight gain in the lower face and neck. The Precision Lift was created to fill a significant gap in the armamentarium of most plastic surgeons that exists between a formal facelift at one extreme, and a noninvasive skin tightening procedure, such as Ultherapy, at the other. See the Precision Lift Page Scar Revision Our personalized scar revision treatments are designed to dramatically improve the appearance of your scars to reveal smooth, flawless skin. See the scar revision Page Wave Lift The Wave Lift is a procedure exclusively developed and designed by Wave Plastic Surgery to address the early signs of age in the midface/lower face region without a formal facelift scar and recovery.

Related Procedures Tummy Tuck in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco If you have had children or lost a significant amount of weight, you may be dealing with excess skin hanging off your belly. This happens because your skin has been stretched out over a period of time, whether due to pregnancy or weight gain. When the baby is born or the fat is lost, the skin remains in its stretched-out state. People will often spend hours trying out crazy workouts that claim to help tighten loose skin, but due to a loss of elasticity, there is really no diet or exercise that can help to effectively restore a firmer look and feel. A tummy tuck can help eliminate the bulge of excess skin to provide you with the smooth, flat belly that you want. See more Tummy Tuck Results in our Before & After gallery! IS A TUMMY TUCK RIGHT FOR ME? Suffering from loose, sagging skin around the abdomen can be very embarrassing for a person. Fitting into the clothes that you want can feel awkward, and showing off your midsection at the beach is not on your list of things to do. The majority of tummy tuck patients that we see at Wave Plastic Surgery are mothers who are looking to regain confidence and feel great about wearing a bikini to the beach. We also see several people who have lost a significant amount of weight but are left struggling with the burden of hanging skin. It is a good idea for women considering a tummy tuck to be done with having kids. While you can still safely become pregnant after the procedure, having a baby can reverse the results of your tummy tuck. One common misconception is that a tummy tuck works to remove excess fat. If this is what you’re looking for, you may actually be in need of liposuction. The tummy tuck is strictly for removing excess abdominal skin.  However, a tummy tuck can be combined with liposuction in order to treat both problems. How Does A TUMMY TUCK WORK? In order to flatten your belly and achieve a taut appearance, the excess skin needs to be removed. During your consultation, we will take a look at your abdomen and determine the extent of surgery you will require. Some people may only need a mini tummy tuck while others will benefit more from the full procedure. This will depend on where on your abdomen the sagging skin occurs as well as its severity. To remove the excess skin, a horizontal incision will be made below your belly button – just low enough so future scarring can be easily concealed beneath a bathing suit or a pair of underwear. One of our doctors will then repair the underlying abdominal wall, strengthening the muscles for a solid foundation. While a tummy tuck is not designed to address stubborn fat, liposuction can be performed during your tuck to remove any lingering fat that may reside in your abdomen. Once we have repaired the underlying structures of your abdomen, we will carefully pull the skin to achieve a taut appearance, trimming away any excess skin and tissue left over. Life After Your Tummy Tuck Recovery from your tummy tuck will take some time. Make sure that you are able to take a few weeks off from work, and take it easy at home. While you will notice an immediate flattening of your belly, some initial bruising and swelling will prevent you from seeing your final results. Yes, there will be a significant scar running across you in the beginning, but this will fade and flatten dramatically over time. Within a few weeks, your abdomen will appear naturally tighter and any excess skin will be gone. Many of our past patients talk about how they felt so much more comfortable in their old clothes after their procedure and how they couldn’t wait to buy new ones that would show off their new bodies. The tummy tuck has proven to be a life-changing procedure, helping men and women to take back control of their bodies. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=HoE2yyKcKZY The Tummy Tuck Procedure Patients usually go home the same day as their Tummy Tuck procedure. The results will be evident immediately, however, it may take several weeks for the swelling and bruising to subside. Combine Tummy Tuck with Liposuction for Enhanced Results While a tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall, pairing it with liposuction can take your results to the next level. Many patients choose to combine both procedures for a more sculpted waistline and smoother contours around the hips and flanks. Learn how combining tummy tuck and liposuction can maximize your transformation. Tummy Tuck Results A Tummy Tuck can help enhance the contour of the abdomen and hip area by flattening the stomach and creating a slimmer, sleeker silhouette.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Thigh Lifts in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Having excess, sagging skin around your thighs can lead to both physical and emotional discomfort. Many patients who are stuck with hanging skin after massive weight loss suffer from low self-esteem and will often experience difficulty walking or finding clothes that fit properly. This can turn you off to taking trips to the beach or wearing the clothes that you want to. If you’re looking to finally tone and tighten the look of your thighs after feeling stuck with the skin left over after massive weight loss, a thigh lift with one of our Los Angeles plastic surgeons can help. How Does a Thigh Lift Work? The thigh lift is a body contouring procedure designed for tightening and removing excess skin, not decreasing excess fat. Most thigh lift patients are those who have already lost the excess fat but now suffer from the after-effects of the hanging skin. While liposuction can be combined with a thigh lift, it is recommended that you are already at a stable weight before undergoing thigh lift surgery. To begin your procedure, we will make an incision along the inner thigh in order to reduce scar visibility. From there, we are able to reshape the leg’s underlying structure to form a strong base for the skin to wrap around. Any stubborn fat can also be removed with liposuction if necessary. The skin is then pulled tight to achieve a taut and natural look with any excess removed before closing the incision. A thigh lift can be performed in conjunction with any other body contouring procedure for an overall improvement of your body’s shape and contour. Because the thighs are normally not the only area affected after massive weight loss, you may choose to undergo additional procedures such as a tummy tuck or arm lift. How Long Will it Take to Recover from a Thigh Lift? You should be ready to take a couple of weeks off from work after your thigh lift. Your body will feel sore for some time, and it will take a while before you feel completely comfortable moving around. There will be some swelling and bruising immediately after your surgery, but your thighs will appear significantly more toned and well contoured. As your body continues to heal, your results will only continue to get better. Men and women who have undergone a thigh lift with us at Wave Plastic Surgery often feel more confident showing off their legs in public and cannot wait to restock their closets with new shorts, skirts, and bathing suits or swim trunks.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Mommy Makeover At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Mommy Makeovers in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco If you’ve had children, especially if you’ve had more than one, you know what pregnancy and breastfeeding can do to your body. Those nine months of carrying a baby in your belly, hours of labor, and the additional months of breastfeeding all add up to changes that are not at all what you necessarily want to see when you look in the mirror. While the gift of having your child is something you would never trade for, you don’t have to choose between being a mother and having the body that you want for yourself. Many Los Angeles mothers of all ages have been undergoing mommy makeover procedures to take back their figures and show moms don’t have to sacrifice looking or feeling sexy. Call 888-674-3001 How Does A Mommy MakeOver Work? A mommy makeover is a name given to a combination of breast enhancement and body contouring procedures designed to address the effects of pregnancy on the female body. Common problems can be improved with a mommy makeover, such as: Sagging breasts Breasts that have lost volume Loose abdominal skin Stubborn hard-to-lose fat Many of these changes cannot be solved with diet and exercise alone, so all-too-often, mothers simply go on living unhappily with their bodies. Women who undergo a mommy makeover are many times brought to tears upon seeing their life-changing results. Each woman’s body experiences pregnancy differently, so not every woman considering a mommy makeover will require all of the same procedures. Normally, a mommy makeover will include some combination of breast enhancement (such as breast augmentation or a breast lift) and body contouring (tummy tuck, liposuction, etc). Each procedure will address a different problem. It is recommended that women considering a mommy makeover are done having children so as to avoid diminishing the results due to future pregnancies. How Long Will it Take to Recover from a Mommy Makeover? Recovering from your mommy makeover will take some time, so it is important you have plenty of help from your family as you heal. Now is your chance to rest in bed or on the couch while your children and spouse help with the chores around the house. Most women will need about 10-14 days before returning to work and their daily routines. As your body continues to heal, bruising and swelling will go down and your scars will begin to fade. You will begin feeling the way you did before becoming pregnant, maybe even better! Our Los Angeles mommy makeover patients have seen incredible results with their procedures and often go on to live happier lives now that they are comfortable with their bodies. Liposuction + Tummy Tuck: The Core of a Mommy Makeover For many moms, restoring core strength and a flatter midsection is a top priority. That’s why tummy tuck and liposuction are often performed together as part of a mommy makeover. This powerful combo removes unwanted fat, tightens skin, and repairs abdominal muscles—helping you feel confident in your body again. See how a tummy tuck with liposuction can help complete your transformation.

Call 888-674-3001 to speak to our experts now Liposuction in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco The human body undergoes a wide range of changes as it gets older. Unfortunately, several of these changes can lead to the development of stubborn pockets of fat that seem nearly impossible to get rid of. If you are struggling with localized areas of fat that aren’t improving with healthy lifestyle choices, liposuction can help provide you with the slimmer body you’ve been working toward. Call 888-674-3001 Kelly Eden's Liposuction Journey at WAVE https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=FgAHspC7s24&t=4s Liposuction Can Help Get Rid of Stubborn Fat Many men and women struggle with problem areas of fat. Maybe you’re trying to lose a double chin, flatten your belly, or get rid of those stubborn love handles, but your efforts in the gym and kitchen don’t seem to be cutting it. This is often the result of your body changing, becoming increasingly resistant to traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise. Liposuction works best for those who are already healthy, but are struggling to lose those last few pounds. It is not intended to be a weight loss procedure or an alternative to diet and exercise. It is important you continue to live a healthy lifestyle after your liposuction procedure in order to maintain the long-lasting results that you desire. People often find themselves facing troublesome areas of stored fat due to: A slowing metabolism Sitting at a desk for eight or more hours a day Poor diet Lack of physical activity Several different areas can be treated with liposuction, including the: Face Hips and love handles Abdomen Thighs Buttocks Considering Liposuction and Tummy Tuck Together? Liposuction is excellent for removing stubborn fat—but when loose skin or stretched abdominal muscles are also a concern, combining liposuction with a tummy tuck may be the ideal approach. This pairing offers dramatic, long-lasting results for patients seeking full midsection rejuvenation. Discover the benefits of combining liposuction with tummy tuck surgery. See more on our Before & After gallery! How Does Liposuction Work? Once you are comfortably sedated, your board-certified plastic surgeon will carefully make small incisions in your treatment area. We will then insert a cannula (thin, hollow tube) in through the incision so it reaches into the underlying layer of fat. The cannula, which is connected to a surgical vacuum at the other end, is then carefully maneuvered to help break up the fatty deposits and remove them from your body. The liposuction process must be done carefully and artistically to avoid an unnatural appearance and any unnecessary side effects. Our doctors will continue removing the excess fat until they have achieved your desired results. Returning to Normal after Liposuction Give your body some time to heal after your procedure. You will likely experience some bruising or swelling, but you will notice a much slimmer figure almost immediately. You should be able to return to work after 1-3 weeks depending on the area that was treated and how much fat was removed. Remember, just because the fat is gone for good doesn’t mean new fat won’t come back if you adopt an unhealthy lifestyle after your procedure. Your liposuction results can be extremely long-lasting as long as you maintain regular physical activity and make healthy eating choices. Now that you have your new, slimmer body, you can enjoy activities that you previously dreaded, like taking a trip to the beach or shopping for new clothes. Our Liposuction Specialist Ben Lee M.

Calf Reduction At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? How Does Calf Reduction Work? Depending on what is causing the thickness in your calves, your calf reduction procedure will be designed for your specific needs. We will discuss your options during your consultation and explain the procedure steps in detail. One of our doctors will listen to your expectations in order to best achieve your desired results. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=yBsRY6QiJHU&feature=youtu. be Calf Reduction in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Imagine stepping out confidently in a skirt or shorts, feeling proud of your sleek, sculpted legs. For many women, however, bulky calves—whether due to muscle, fat, or genetics—can make achieving that ideal silhouette challenging. You may feel self-conscious, frustrated with the appearance of “cankles” or muscular calves that feel out of proportion, giving a more masculine look to your legs. If you’ve ever avoided certain outfits or felt uncomfortable in summer clothes due to thicker calves, know that there’s a solution. Calf reduction in Los Angeles offers a way to shape and contour your calves, helping you feel empowered to wear what you love and embrace your femininity with confidence. Whether you’re looking to slim down muscular calves or reduce excess calf fat, our tailored treatments can help you achieve beautifully smooth, proportionate legs that you’ll love to show off. Call 888-674-3001 Understanding Calf Muscle Hypertrophy For many individuals with larger calves, the cause isn’t just fat but also muscle hypertrophy—a condition where the calf muscles increase in size. This can happen due to factors such as genetics, exercise habits, and specific muscle-building activities. Genetics plays a significant role, as some people naturally have more muscle mass in their calves, making them appear bulkier even without extensive training. Additionally, exercises that heavily engage the calves, like running, cycling, and certain gym routines, can contribute to muscle growth, especially when performed frequently or at high intensity. Calf muscle hypertrophy can impact the appearance of the lower legs, creating a bulkier look that may feel out of proportion with the rest of the body. For those seeking a slimmer calf shape, treatments that target muscle size, such as Botox injections, offer a non-surgical way to create a more balanced and refined look. To learn more, check out our upcoming blog post, which will dive deeper into calf muscle hypertrophy and strategies to manage calf size effectively. Can Botox Really Reduce Calf Size? Yes, Botox can be an effective, non-surgical option for reducing calf size, especially for those with prominent muscle bulk rather than fat. By injecting Botox into specific areas of the calf muscle, this treatment works to relax and gradually reduce the muscle’s size, leading to a more slender appearance over time. This approach, often referred to as calf muscle slimming, is ideal for individuals who desire a leaner look without the downtime or recovery associated with surgery. Botox for calves is particularly popular among those with muscle hypertrophy, which can make calves appear bulky and out of proportion with the rest of the body. Results are gradual, typically appearing within a few weeks, and tend to last several months. Regular treatments can help maintain the slimmer calf contour, providing a subtle, natural-looking reduction in muscle size that doesn’t impact overall leg function. If you’re looking for a way to slim your calves without surgery, Botox might be the perfect solution. Schedule a consultation with Wave Plastic Surgery to learn more about how Botox can help you achieve balanced, beautifully contoured legs. Image: Dysport before and after Can Dysport Help Slim Down Calves? Yes, Dysport can be a great non-surgical solution for slimming down bulky calves caused by muscle hypertrophy. Similar to Botox, Dysport is a muscle relaxant injected into specific areas of the calf muscles, temporarily reducing muscle activity and creating a slimmer appearance over time. This option is ideal for those who have prominent calf muscles and want to achieve a leaner look without the need for surgical intervention. Dysport’s effects typically appear within a few days and last for several months, making it a convenient choice for individuals seeking a non-invasive way to reshape their calves. Since Dysport diffuses slightly more than Botox, it may provide a softer, more natural reduction in muscle size, ideal for those looking for subtle yet effective results. For individuals looking to refine the appearance of their calves, Dysport offers a safe, customizable approach that allows you to slim down bulky muscles without impacting daily activities or leg function. To explore if Dysport for calves is the right option for you, schedule a consultation with Wave Plastic Surgery and learn how this treatment can help you achieve beautifully balanced, contoured legs. Dysport Treatment There are both surgical and non-surgical methods for reducing the size of your calves. For shrinking the size of the calf muscle, we can use Botox alone to tame and reduce the size of the muscle over time by inducing muscle atrophy. If your thick calves are the result of excess fat, we can perform liposuction in order to trim them down to your goal size. Excision techniques may also be needed for the removal of excess tissue. How Long Will it Take to Recover from a Calf Reduction? If your calf reduction was performed using only Botox injections, there will be little to no recovery time necessary. You can go back to your everyday life right away – you can even go out for a run if you so choose. Your results will appear gradually over time with full results after about three months. You may return for additional injections in order to maintain long-lasting results. If liposuction was used to remove fat from around your calves, you will need to spend about a week recovering and will be given elastic stockings to help your legs heal properly. It will take about a month for you to notice the final results of your procedure, but you will be able to maintain long-lasting results through proper diet and...

### Brazilian Butt Lift

OR Call 888-674-3001 Brazillian Butt Lifts At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Content Navigator Brazilian Butt Lift in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Over the past few years, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has become an extremely popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedure. After all, the idea of taking annoying excess fat from one area of your body to enhance and reshape your backside is hard for many not to be excited about. In today’s culture, having a round and firm buttocks is the goal of many women, but some are simply unable to achieve the shape they want. A Brazilian Butt Lift with our Los Angeles plastic surgeons can help you to feel more confident in anything from a bikini to a pair of jeans. See more Brazilian Butt Lift Results in our Before & After gallery! What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift? The Brazilian Butt Lift is a type of buttock augmentation procedure that uses your body’s own fat, rather than silicone implants, to enhance the shape and size of your buttocks. To do this, one of our plastic surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery will take unwanted fat cells from other areas of your body, such as your back, thighs, or abdomen. Liposuction is used to remove these fat cells so they can be prepared for injection into your buttocks. Because the procedure uses your body’s own existing tissue, the procedure is safe and has been known to provide very natural-looking results. One of our doctors will then carefully perform the fat transfer by injecting the harvested fat cells into the buttock area to enhance its shape and size. During your consultation, your expectations and goals will be discussed in order for us to understand what it is you are looking to achieve and how to provide you with the best results possible. Ideal Candidates for BBL Surgery Not everyone is right for a Brazilian Butt Lift, and others may require implants in addition to their fat transfer to achieve their desired shape. Those lacking excess fat may not have enough donor fatty tissue for the transfer procedure. Many patients are able to achieve their best results from combining gluteal implants with their Brazilian Butt Lift. Ideal candidates for Fat Transfer BBL Surgery will be people who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their lower body. Many people opt for BBL surgery to help them look better in clothing or boost their self-confidence. The main benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery include:Enhancing size and shape of the buttocksRemoving excess fatLifting the lower buttockSlimming and contouring the body shapeIf you are dissatisfied with the results of relying on diet and exercise to improve the shape of your lower body, a Brazilian Butt Lift might be right for you. Recovery From Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery Depending on the amount of fatty tissue transferred and where the donor fat was taken from, you will need to take about 10-14 days recovering from your procedure. It may take some time for any swelling to go down, but before you know it, you will notice your new shape and will want to show off your new silhouette at the beach. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=NDuev1wwWq4&t=11s The Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure Using the fat grafting technique for a BBL surgery produces more natural-looking results with the added benefit of removing excess fat around the midsection to enhance the body-contouring effects of the treatment. During the procedure, the surgeon will use liposuction to remove fat from the hips, stomach, and thighs. These fat stores are then purified using WAVE's double pure fat grafting process. The processed fat is then injected into specific areas of the buttocks to create a more rounded, full look. A compression garment will then be applied to the treatment area. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=JWKATVkE5PA Brazilian Butt Lift Results A Brazilian Butt Lift can help you get rid of stubborn fat deposits in your midsection and enhance the tone and shape of your butt.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Body Lift At Wave Plastic Surgery Get A Consultation Need A Consultation? Body Lift in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Being stuck with excess, sagging skin can get in the way of living a happy and comfortable life – especially here in Southern California, where the beach is just a short trip away and all you want to do is throw on your bathing suit or a pair of shorts and enjoy the sun. It can be extremely frustrating to lose all of the excess fat only to be left facing a problem with hanging skin afterwards. However, if you find yourself in this situation, a body lift with one of our Los Angeles plastic surgeons can provide you with the slim and toned body you’ve been working toward all along. How Does A Body Lift Work? If you’re one of the many men and women struggling with skin left over after massive weight loss, you’ve probably tried crazy amounts of diet and exercise to tighten your skin. The reason your skin hasn’t improved is because it has already lost its elasticity. While it is important to eat right and remain active in order to maintain a healthy figure, diet and exercise will not help your skin go back to normal. A body lift works to remove the excess skin around your body in order to provide your body with a taut look and smooth contours. During your consultation, we will analyze your body’s condition to determine a proper treatment plan for you. Those suffering from small amounts of fat may need to supplement their body lift with liposuction because a body lift is only designed to address excess skin and tissue. A circumferential band of excess skin will normally be removed in order to reduce any sagging or hanging skin. Areas that can be improved with a body lift include: Abdomen Back, Waist, and Hips Buttocks Groin How Long Will it Take to Recover from a Body Lift? The body lift is a fairly invasive procedure, so it will take about 2-3 weeks for you to return to light work and activity. If your job requires more physical activity, you should wait about 4-6 weeks before returning in order to avoid any unnecessary complications or discomfort. Your body will experience some bruising and swelling initially after surgery. As your body heals, your shape will continue to improve and your scars will slowly begin to fade. Within a couple months, your body will look completely new, with the excess skin nowhere in sight and a smooth, beautiful figure in its place.

Brachioplasty in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Losing a large amount of weight is a life-changing achievement with many health benefits. Still, many men and women who lose the fat are left with embarrassing excess skin hanging off their arms. This problem with so-called “bat wings” cannot be fixed with diet and exercise alone because the skin has already lost its elasticity and cannot tighten up naturally. The arm lift is designed to provide an answer to this problem, helping to tone and tighten the look of the arms. Call 888-674-3001 Read More HOW DOES AN ARM LIFT WORK? After losing a significant amount of body fat, while your shape returns to a slimmer size, the skin is often left drooping and sagging. This is because after being stretched for a long period of time, skin begins to lose its elasticity. Diet and exercise cannot reverse these effects. Think of your skin as your favorite sweater. If you were to stretch out your sweater or lend it to a larger friend, it wouldn’t quite fit the same next time you were to try it on. This is because the fabric loses its shape and elasticity, so instead of fitting snugly, it loosely hangs off your body. If you want it to fit the way it used to, you will likely need the help of a tailor. A similar thing happens to your skin after putting on weight and then losing it, and cosmetic surgery is often the only way to re-contour your arms. In order to tone and tighten your arm, the excess skin must be removed. Your plastic surgeon will make an incision on the inner portion of your upper arm. From there, any leftover excess fatty tissue can be removed using liposuction. The underlying tissue and muscle is then repaired to provide a firm base for your arm. The skin is then pulled tight with any excess amounts trimmed away before the incisions are closed. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM AN ARM LIFT? After your arm lift, you will need to limit your levels of activity for about a 10 day recovery period. Don’t try to lift anything heavy or perform any weight lifting exercises for about a month. Using bandages and surgical compression garments will help to reduce any swelling of your arm and will provide you with the best possible results. Over time, your scars will fade and your arms will appear much more trimmed and toned.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Breast Reduction At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Breast Reduction in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Heavy, disproportionately large breasts can often lead to physical discomfort and pain. Breast reduction surgery helps bring the breasts to a more proportionate size with the rest of your body, so you can wear the clothes you want and move around more comfortably. Call 888-674-3001 Is Breast Reduction Right for Me? Breasts that are too large and out of proportion with the rest of the body can make it difficult to find properly fitting clothing. This can also cause added stress to the neck, shoulders, and back. Women with these problems likely have difficulty exercising due to pain, and often feel uncomfortable with unwanted stares. Emotional discomfort and problems with self-esteem are often associated with the issue as well. Breast reduction surgery has provided women with life-changing physical and emotional results. Gigantomastia and Breast Hypertrophy Gigantomastia or breast hypertrophy are a condition where the breasts are enlarged and can cause symptoms such as discomfort and functional problems. If the breasts are too large, they may induce too much weight on the supporting mechanism of our body, such as the back and neck. Symptoms of Gigantomastia Many patients suffer from chronic back and neck pain, especially with age. Also, many patients suffer from rashes and infections due to severe hanging of the tissues below the fold of the breast due to moisture and friction. Due to the heaviness of the breast, many patients’ activity is limited, especially in sports, even with supporting clothes. Causes of Gigantomastia and Breast Hypertrophy While the exact cause of hypertrophic breasts is unknown, it is thought to be the result of a combination of factors, including hormonal changes, genetic factors, and weight gain. If you are experiencing symptoms of hypertrophic breasts, talk to your doctor to discuss your treatment options. How is Breast Reduction Performed? We perform breast reduction surgery by removing excess fat, skin, and tissue from the breasts. Often, the main contributor to large breasts is excess fatty tissue. This can sometimes be solved with liposuction alone. However, the excision of excess breast tissue and skin is necessary for more extreme cases. The nipple and areola may also need to be resized if they have been stretched or are oversized. One of our doctors will discuss your procedure with you and outline the type of surgery that will be required. The Vertical Reduction Method Many of our patients are candidates for a newer, vertical reduction procedure. This method minimizes the amount of scarring and provides you with a more projected, youthful shape. However, If you have very large breasts or significant amounts of drooping, you will likely need a more traditional method of reduction. Treatment Options for Breast Hypertrophy If a person has been diagnosed with Breast Hypertrophy, treatment options include lifestyle changes, medications, and surgery. Surgical options for treating Breast Hypertrophy include a reduction mammoplasty and a mastopexy. Reduction mammoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess breast tissue and skin, and may also involve reducing the size of the areola. There are three main incision techniques for breast reduction surgery. First, is where the incision is limited to the areola (Donut). Second is where the incision is limited to the areola and vertical line to the breast crease (Lollipop). The third is where the incision is around the areola, vertically from the areola to the crease, then horizontally across the crease (Anchor). Non-Surgical Options for the Breast Hypertrophy Lifestyle changes that may help reduce the symptoms of hypertrophic breasts include avoiding triggering factors such as certain medications, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly. If you are taking medication that may be contributing to your condition, talk to your doctor about alternative treatments. Eating a healthy diet and exercising can help reduce the amount of fat in your breasts, which may help reduce your breasts' size. Talk to your doctor about making lifestyle changes to help manage your condition. Breast Hypertrophy can be a difficult condition to deal with, but there are treatment options available. Breast Reduction Recovery Most breast reduction procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. This means you can go home the same day as the surgery under the care of a loved one. We use dissolving sutures to help make the recovery period faster. A pain pump is available for the procedures, making recovery much easier. Most women feel well enough to return to their jobs in about a week. Before you know it, you will be trying on all of the clothes you weren’t able to wear before.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Breast Reconstruction At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Breast Reconstruction in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Fighting and beating breast cancer is a life-changing victory. However, many women simply want to get back to their old lives from before they were diagnosed with the disease. Undergoing a mastectomy can help women put an end to their battle with breast cancer, but unfortunately the procedure often leaves them feeling wounded or damaged. With breast reconstruction, women who have lost one or both breasts to a mastectomy can finally move forward and regain their feminine figures. Your battle with breast cancer is over – now it is time for you to take back your life. Call 888-674-3001 How is Breast Reconstruction Performed? There are a two main techniques for breast reconstruction: Flap Techniques Tissue Expansion A flap technique is performed by taking some of your own donor tissue to construct a new breast mound. Flaps can be taken from either your abdomen, back, or buttock, and consist of fat, skin, and muscle depending on which flap technique is being used. Depending on your situation, the flap may be sufficient enough for reconstructing the breast mound, or you may choose to have your flap technique combined with breast implants for added shape and breast volume. The tissue expansion procedure is performed over the course of about 4-6 months. Following your mastectomy, a special silicone expander is placed beneath your breast tissue to gradually stretch the skin. Over the course of your procedure, your expander will be filled to continue stretching your skin until there is enough room for your desired implant to be placed. Although the process takes more time, recovery is often easier than that of a flap reconstruction. You can have your breast reconstruction procedure performed immediately after your mastectomy, or you may choose to wait until your body has healed. There are various methods of breast cancer reconstruction. The best option for you will depend on when you want to have your procedure done as well as your anatomy. We will make sure to answer all of your questions during your consultation. Our doctors are board-certified plastic surgeons with plenty of experience in speaking with patients and understanding their expectations.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Breast Lift At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Breast Lifts in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Women will often come in wanting a solution to achieve more breast volume and an improvement of drooping or sagging breasts. Many times, these women have had children, and are suffering changes in their breasts that have occurred due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. The breasts can also change dramatically and “deflate” following massive weight loss. A breast lift is designed to eliminate sagging and drooping of the breasts to restore a natural-looking, youthful silhouette of the female body. Call 888-674-3001 What Is A Breast Lift? The goal of a breast lift is to elevate a woman’s nipple and areola to the natural, youthful position just at the level of the breast fold. We are able to determine the amount of lift and length of the scar by carefully analyzing the amount of drooping or sagging present in your own specific case. For example, less drooping means a shorter scar and vice versa. However, in either situation, our doctors are all board-certified and experienced in minimizing the visibility of any post-surgical scarring. Your incisions will be hidden as much as possible within the natural creases of your breasts and along the edges of the areola. A typical breast lift incision is made around the nipple and down toward the crease below the breast. Scarring will gradually fade and flatten over time until it is hardly noticeable and easily concealed beneath your bikini top or bra. BREAST LIFT WITH AUGMENTATION Many times, women who are struggling with sagging breasts are also struggling with a flat, or deflated look. In these situations, a breast lift alone may return the breasts to a younger, elevated position, but they may still appear flat or unshapely. This loss of volume and subsequent drooping of the breasts is known as post-partum involution. If this sounds like your situation, you may be a good candidate for augmentation mastopexy, or breast implants with a breast lift. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for augmentation mastopexy is to schedule a consultation with us. During your breast enhancement consultation, we will explain the procedure in detail and all of your questions are answered. You will learn what reasonable expectations are based on your particular anatomy and desires. See more on our Before & After gallery! Our Breast Augmentation Specialists Peter Lee M. D. , F. A. C. S.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Breast Implant Revision At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Breast Implant Revision in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco As with any plastic surgery procedure, women who choose to undergo breast augmentation may face some rare complications. While the FDA approves all breast implants used in the United States, certain complications can alter the appearance of your breast or result in an unnatural look or feel. Call 888-674-3001 Wave Plastic Surgery Corrects Breast Implant Malfunctions In cases where there are problems or concerns with the breast or breast implant following surgery, we can perform a breast implant revision. Some complications that can occur following a breast augmentation procedure include: Rippling Rupture or Leakage Symmastia: A condition in which the breast implants shift too close to one another, thus causing the appearance of a “uniboob” Capsular Contracture: A condition in which scar tissue begins forming around the breast implant, causing the breast to harden Women may also choose to undergo revision surgery for non-complication related issues such as to change the size of their breast implant, maintain a youthful appearance throughout the body’s natural aging process, or upgrade to a newer type of implant such as silicone gummy bear implants. Because breast implants are not meant to last forever, we often see women come in roughly ten years after their initial breast augmentation for a revision procedure. As a woman’s natural breast tissue begins to sag with age, she may choose to have revision breast surgery and maybe a breast lift to maintain a youthful appearance. How We Will Perform a Breast Revision Procedure If you are concerned with any complications associated with one of your breast implants, it is important to come in for a consultation as soon as possible. Early treatment can prevent any unnecessary side effects and have you back to enjoying natural-looking results. If one of your implants is defective, we will proceed to remove the implant and replace it with a new one. We will likely use the same incision locations made during your initial breast augmentation and will place the new breast implant in the same pocket unless otherwise needed. If you are simply exchanging your breast implants for a new size, shape or material, we will remove your old implants and replace them with your new choice. A new incision pattern or placement may be needed if you are changing to a significantly different size. With breast implant revision surgery, you can maintain naturally younger looking breasts as you age. Breast Implant Rippling Implant rippling happens when the edges, folds, and wrinkles of the breast implants can be seen or felt through the skin. Rippling often occurs around the cleavage and the sides of the implant. Implant rippling is most common with saline implants, but silicone-gel implants can also develop ripples. An estimated 10% of individuals who have breast implants experience rippling (grade 2 or higher). However, not all cases are deemed severe enough to necessitate breast implant revision. Causes of Implant Rippling Almost all implants ripple, but not all ripples are visible. Rippling can be exacerbated by the following factors: Tissue and Body Fat: Petite women or women who have low body fat and thin breast tissue are more likely to experience implant rippling. Large Pocket: If the pocket created for the implant is too large, the implant is able to shift. This can cause the edges of the implant to show through the skin and make rippling more visible. Implant Placement: Implant rippling is more likely to occur when the implant is placed over the pectoral muscle rather than below the muscle. Implant Shape: Round implants are more likely to ripple than tear-drop shaped implants. Treatment for Implant Rippling Rippling occurs when folds in breast implants become visible or can be felt to the touch. In order to correct this issue, one of our plastic surgeons can either use a fat transfer technique to cushion the area or they can perform breast implant revision surgery to correct the cause of the rippling. The fat transfer technique involves using liposuction to remove fat from one area of your body, such as the abdomen, double purifying the fat, and carefully injecting it into the breasts as a natural dermal filler. Breast implant revision can be performed using a variety of different surgical techniques based on the patient’s needs. Our surgeon may replace the current implants with a more appropriate size, alter the size of the breast implant pocket, place the implant under the muscle, or add a dermal or synthetic matrix to the implant pocket to help to support the natural tissues. Breast Implant Rupture and Leakage The most common sign of breast implant rupture is a change in the shape or size of the breast. Other signs may include pain, tenderness, or changes in sensation. In some cases, there may be no signs or symptoms at all. Causes of Breast Implant Rupture There are several common causes for a breast implant rupture. These include: Capsular Contracture: Capsular contracture is a situation where the tissue that surrounds the implant becomes hard and thick. If they become severe, they may compress the envelope of the implant enough, over time, to cause a leak. Trauma: Typically, even a very hard compression to the implant, will not cause a rupture. However high impact situations, like car accidents can. Changes in Implant Composition: In some patients, with unknown cause, the shell of the implant can...

An increasing number of such patients inhabit this formerly unaddressed “gray zone”, in which they are left to wait in a kind of limbo, until they are ready for an actual facelift. Minimally Invasive The Precision Lift now offers these patients a new option, and a different kind of minimally invasive surgical approach to facial rejuvenation. It utilizes the Cellulaze technology originally developed to treat cellulite and subcutaneous fat deposits in the legs, arms and torso, and adapts it to treat the stigmata of facial aging in a precise multi-stage process. The Procedure Precision Lift is performed under light intravenous sedation, without need for general anesthesia. The entire procedure usually takes approximately 30-45 minutes. Postoperative pain after the procedure is minimal, and the patient is usually up and walking around on the first night after The Precision Lift. The Precision Lift is not a facelift. Nor is it a noninvasive skin tightening procedure. Nor is it simply a liposuction procedure. Rather, it is an entirely new class of procedure that combines many of the most clinically useful benefits of these other more standard techniques in a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure which minimizes postoperative discomfort and recovery time, while delivering aesthetic results previously only achievable with more aggressive open surgical procedures.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Rhinoplasty At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Rhinoplasty in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Rhinoplasty is surgery that changes the shape, size and proportions of the nose. What is considered ideal is very subjective and varies across various ethnicities and subcultures. Nevertheless, most patients strive to achieve an appearance that is harmonious and in proportion with other facial features. This commonly includes a nasal dorsum of appropriate height, and a tip that is balanced and more refined. In addition to a desire to change the appearance of the nose, some patients may seek to also improve breathing. When you consult with a surgeon, other facial features will be considered. The proportions of your forehead, midface, and lower face will be examined, and should roughly be equivalent (the rule of thirds). The width of your nose should also be roughly the same as the distance between your eyes. If the nose is too wide, it can be reduced. The angle between the lips and the base of the nose is noted. The relation between your nose and chin is also considered, as many patients who seek rhinoplasty my require chin augmentation to achieve proper facial balance. Taking into consideration your current anatomy and facial structure, your surgeon can assist you in coming up with the desired surgical plan to achieve the result you desire. Call 888-674-3001 How does Rhinoplasty work? To understand how a rhinoplasty is performed, one must first have a basic knowledge of the nasal anatomy. The nasal dorsum is composed of three zones. The upper portion of the structure of the nose is composed of the two nasal bones. The midportion is comprised of the paired upper lateral cartilages. These structures make up the dorsum, which can vary greatly in size and shape among different individuals. The lower third of the nose consist of the lower lateral cartilages, which define the size, shape and projection of the tip of the nose. Dividing the nostrils is the nasal septum. Together, the conformation of the lower lateral cartilages and septum can contribute greatly to a patient’s overall satisfaction with their nose. Rhinoplasty seeks to change the shape and size of the bone, cartilage, skin or all three. The Procedure A rhinoplasty is usually done as an outpatient procedure, meaning there is no overnight stay. The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia for airway protection, though local anesthesia with sedation can be considered for minor tip alterations. In either case, a patient should have very little awareness during the procedure. See more on our Before & After gallery! The Recovery After a rhinoplasty, patients usually wear a nasal splint for the first week. Swelling and some bruising around the eyes can be expected. This will begin to improve after the third day and last up to two weeks or more. You will be significantly recovered by 4-6 weeks. The final shape of your nose will be apparent at 6 months. Strenuous activity should be avoided for three to six weeks after surgery, but you may return to social activities as soon as two to three weeks. Wave's Rhinoplasty Techniques Rhinoplasty techniques are divided into open and closed techniques. Closed techniques, where there are no external incisions, are more traditional and have the advantage of quicker recovery. Open techniques have become more popular over the past few decades as it is more precise and allows more drastic changes to be made to the underlying structures. In an open rhinoplasty, a hidden incision is made underneath the base of the nose, and a skin flap is carefully dissected off of the underlying structures so that they may be inspected and altered. The Dorsum The dorsum is addressed first. Many patients who present for rhinoplasty desire reduction in an overly prominent hump. This is accomplished with a rasp, or file, that is used to remove excess bone and upper lateral cartilage. Larger humps need to be removed with an osteotome, or chisel. The width of the dorsum can be reduced at this time by making bony cuts laterally. Once the nasal bones are freed, the dorsum can be reshaped as desired, and any deviation from the midline can be corrected. The mobilized bony fragments are then held in shape with an external splint. Septoplasty Although septoplasty is usually performed for functional breathing difficulties, a malformed nasal septum can result in a crooked nasal dorsum and tip deflection. It is therefore performed in many rhinoplasties to correct both functional and cosmetic abnormalities. The septum is also an excellent source of donor cartilage for improvement of the nasal tip. After hump reduction, the lining mucosa is elevated off of the septal cartilage on both sides. This allows deviated cartilage to be removed and reshaped. Occasionally, the cartilage has been displaced off of the midline from prior trauma. This can be moved and secured into the proper midline position with sutures. The nasal mucosa flaps are then replaced, resulting in a straighter appearance. Temporary splints are usually placed to promote healing of the septum in the proper position. The Tip The tip of the nose is a major source of dissatisfaction for many patients who present for rhinoplasty. Common complaints include bulbousness, lack of projection or over-projection, nasal tip droop or and asymmetry. Fortunately, nearly all these issues can be addressed.

Jaw Reduction At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Jaw Reduction in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Your jawline is a defining feature that frames your face and shapes your overall appearance. If you feel that your jaw is too prominent, wide, or doesn’t align with your aesthetic goals, jaw reduction surgery at Wave Plastic Surgery offers a solution to refine and contour your facial structure for a more balanced, harmonious look. With locations in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Francisco. You’ll learn about mandible reduction techniques, both surgical and non-surgical, that can help narrow and slim the lower third of your face. Our expert Los Angeles plastic surgeons specialize in tailored approaches, ensuring you achieve a natural, proportionate result. Discover the benefits, process, and recovery expectations of jaw reduction surgery, and take the first step toward a jawline that complements your unique features. Call 888-674-3001 How does Mandible Reduction Surgery work? Who is a Good Candidate for Jaw Reduction? Mandible reduction surgery is ideal for individuals who feel their jawline is too prominent or wide and wish to achieve a slimmer, more balanced appearance. Non-surgical options like liposuction and neuromodulators are suited for those with minor fullness or a stronger masseter muscle, while surgical techniques are better for individuals seeking a more dramatic contouring of the jaw structure. A consultation with a specialist can help determine the best approach based on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=9CambFap3Cg&t=45s Non-Surgical and Surgical Techniques There are various techniques to help achieve a refined jawline. Non-surgical methods include:Liposuction: Removes excess fat in the jaw area to reduce fullness. Neuromodulators (e. g. , botulinum toxin): Temporarily relaxes the masseter muscle, which can slim the jawline over time. For more noticeable changes, surgical methods may be recommended:Bone Filing and Muscle Reduction: Involves carefully filing down the jawbone and removing a portion of the muscle to create a more delicate, V-shaped jawline. The muscle will still function normally, but the overall fullness is decreased, achieving a softer, oval-shaped jawline. The Consultation Process During your initial consultation, the surgeon will conduct a thorough evaluation, which may include X-rays or CT scans to assess your jaw structure and identify the best course of action. The size of the mandible angle, masseter muscle, and overall jaw structure are all carefully analyzed. Based on these findings and a face-to-face discussion, a personalized surgical plan is created to meet your desired aesthetic outcomes. The Surgery Procedure and Recovery The surgical procedure for mandible reduction typically involves a small incision inside the mouth, which avoids any visible scarring. Through this incision, the outer layer of the enlarged mandible is carefully removed using a surgical burr, gradually narrowing the jawline. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia with intubation to secure the airway, and may involve an external or intraoral approach, depending on individual needs. After the surgery, patients are observed in the recovery room before being discharged. Recovery includes mild swelling and bruising that can last for 1-2 weeks, with most patients able to resume regular activities shortly after. Full results are visible within a few months as the swelling subsides, revealing a more refined, balanced jawline. Benefits and Risks of Mandible Reduction Surgery Mandible reduction surgery offers a range of benefits, including a slimmer, more balanced jawline, improved facial harmony, and enhanced self-confidence. However, like all surgical procedures, there are some potential risks, such as swelling, temporary nerve sensitivity, or scarring (though minimal with an internal incision). Discussing these risks with a qualified surgeon is essential to ensure realistic expectations and a clear understanding of the recovery process. Real Wave Patients. See more on our Before & After gallery! The Results Patients typically have minor discomfort as the incisions heal for a few days. Swelling can typically last for a couple of weeks, but most patients can return to work after a week. The final results can take up to 3-6 months to manifest, although a noticeable difference can be seen within days as swelling subsides. Ready to Transform Your Jawline? If you’re considering mandible reduction surgery to achieve a slimmer, more defined jawline, contact Wave Plastic Surgery today. Our experienced team of surgeons specializes in facial contouring, providing personalized recommendations and expert care tailored to your needs. Schedule a consultation and take the first step toward a jawline that complements your unique facial features. Get Your Consultation Today Give us a call today to schedule your consultation with one of our plastic surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery to learn more about mandible reduction. Call 888-674-3001 Get A Consultation Non-Surgical Mandible Reduction Non-surgical techniques are essentially limited to cases in which the masseter is enlarged. A convenient method to treat an enlarged muscle is through the use of Botox injections. Botox is injected into the enlarged muscle, weakening it so it slowly becomes smaller through atrophy over the course of several months. There is no downtime with this non-surgical approach and improvement is gradual—nobody will notice that you have had Botox treatments performed. Our Mandible Reduction Specialist Peter Lee M. D. , F.

How Flash Lift Works WAVE is able to achieve these amazing facial rejuvenation results in the Flash Lift by using technologically advanced threads made of polydioxanone (also known as PDO). These threads are expertly placed in the skin which provides a natural-looking, tightening and lifting effect on the face. The PDO threads we use are some of the best and most powerful threads available. Because each patient is a little bit different, we are able to select the right combination of threads to give patients the most ideal and customized results. As time passes, the PDO threads will dissolve and stimulate collagen production. Ideal candidates for Flash Lift While the Flash Lift delivers impressive results, it isn’t the right solution for everyone. Ideal candidates for Flash Lift are generally younger and don’t have serious signs of aging like deep lines or folds. Patients with greater signs of aging are usually better suited with a more traditional facelift. However, patients that have only lighter signs of aging and are looking for an effective solution to look younger, Flash Lift is a wise choice. We understand how busy life can be and the Flash Lift is a fast procedure (about 30 minutes) that has virtually no downtime. This means you’ll look great without all the recovery time typically found with surgery. Flash Lift Pre-Treatment: Avoid NSAIDS/ Blood thinners 1 week prior to treatment. Ensure skin is clean of makeup and lotions. Talk to your provider if you have any medical conditions or allergies. Postpone social events and big activities for 3 weeks. Medications may be prescribed to help relieve discomfort and sensitivity, talk to your consultant or provider to discuss options.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Fat Transfer At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Fat Grafting in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Fat Transfer (or fat grafting/injection) is a minimally invasive procedure that takes your body’s own natural fat from areas of excess (be it your abdomen, thighs, back, buttocks, etc. ) to treat unwanted wrinkles and restore youthful volume and shape. Areas commonly treated with fat transfer include the upper and lower eyelids, cheeks, nasolabial folds and forehead. There is minimal swelling and rarely any significant bruising following a fat transfer procedure. You should be able to return to your daily routine within a short period after your facial fat grafting in Los Angeles treatment with one of our plastic surgeons. How Does Fat transfer Work? During the procedure of fat transfer in Los Angeles, donor fat is withdrawn from your body in one of two ways: With a syringe that has a large-bore needle With a liposuction cannula We then prepare the fat cells for safe injection into the treatment site. This preparation process will clear the donor fat of blood, pain killers and other unwanted ingredients that could cause infections or other undesirable side effects. When it comes to fat transfer in Los Angeles, you won’t find a more refined and safe procedure process than at Wave Plastic Surgery.

Wave Double Pure Fat GraftingWave's Double Pure Fat Grafting Technique involves purifying the fat that is collected from harvest areas. After collecting adequate fat cells, an advanced purification process begins. Using cutting edge filtration techniques, the fat cells are purified to the highest quality and then transferred into small, individual syringes for injection. At WAVE Plastic Surgery, we can enhance purified fat with Plasma Rich Plasma (PRP) to increase fat cell survivability and ensure the best possible outcomes. Our team of expert cosmetic surgeons specializing in fat transfer in Orange County and the surrounding areas of LA can offer you the best options for a safe and efficient revision, effectively reversing aging processes and providing a skin-lifting effect. See more on our Before & After gallery! Read More Facial Fat Transfer Over time, your face begins to lose volume, resulting in an aged or gaunt appearance. Our fat transfer in Los Angeles procedure helps refresh and renew your facial appearance without surgery. A liposuction technique is used to harvest the fat cells from excess areas on your body and prepare it for transfer. The fat is then injected into the desired portion of the face to help restore volume and smooth away facial lines or wrinkles. When using a micro injection technique, extremely small parcels of fat are placed into multiple layers of the face. Our patients often seek out facial fat transfer for: Filling in forehead creases Enhancing the cheeks (non-surgical cheek augmentation) Filling in sunken areas beneath the eyes Fleshing out nasolabial folds or laugh lines (the deep wrinkles next to the mouth) Generally, 40-60 percent of the transferred fat remains for permanent results. Alternative treatments such as dermal fillers only provide for temporary facial rejuvenation. By selecting a reputable surgery center for your fat grafting in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and the surrounding areas, you can have peace of mind knowing that skilled surgeons will administer the fat injections, ensuring the creation of long-lasting results when the procedure is performed. Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) Cell Procedure Over the past decade, studies have shown a great deal of interest in the SVF mainly because of its ASCs content and its ability to secrete pro-angiogenic factors. Thus, new procedures have emerged, consisting of the injection of a SVF- enriched fat graft. The common name for this protocol is Cell-Assisted Lipotransfer (CAL). Lip Augmentation with Fat Transfer Many women are uncomfortable with the appearance of thin lips. While some plastic surgeons use silicone implants for enhancing lip size, we offer non-surgical lip augmentations using fat transfer. We begin by making tiny, punch-like incisions at one corner of the mouth. Our doctors will then take one to two millimeter-thick strips of fat from the donor site and gently work them into the upper and lower lips for a plumping effect. This method of lip augmentation is reported to be safer, softer, and more natural than lip augmentation treatments that popular injectable facial fillers like Juvéderm, or implant materials like Permalip, medical Gore-Tex or, e-PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene). Fat Transfer and Hand Augmentation A wrinkled, bony-looking hand with large veins, sun spots and deep grooves can be giving away your age, even when you’ve treated other areas like your face to maintain a youthful look. By transferring fat cells to your hands, we can fill out depressions and restore volume so that your hands end up looking years younger than before. Our Fat Transfer Specialist Peter Lee M. D. , F.

There are numerous details and techniques that we adhere to when performing a facelift in order to ensure beautiful results. These are some of the examples that we consider with all of our facelift patients: There are three separate compartments where the orbital fat resides. As we age, the tissues holding the orbital fat become attenuated and as a result, the fat becomes more visible as it protrudes out more. Depending on the severity and whether there is a depression in the lower portion of the lower lid rim, each individual’s treatment will be different. If excess fat is the only issue, we can remove it using a transconjunctival approach (inside the eyelid). This prevents unnecessary external scars, and there is less of a chance of disrupting the tissues that can cause evertion of the lower eyelid. The removal of the fat must be conservative to prevent unwanted hollowing. If the fat is not too significant, but does exist, the tissues holding the orbital fat can be simply tightened. This is called a septal reset. If there is hollowness in the lower lid rim, called a tear trough, the fat can be mobilized and repositioned to the bony rim margin. This helps with the removal of the protruding fat as well as filling in the defect of the tear trough. Benefits of a Facelift Procedure A facelift is one of the most effective ways to reverse the signs of aging and restore a naturally youthful appearance. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we use advanced techniques to target specific aging concerns, delivering natural, long-lasting results without looking artificial. A facelift can help if you’re struggling with: Loose, sagging skin that makes you look older than you feel – Over time, skin loses its elasticity, leading to drooping around the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Jowls that blur your jawline – When facial tissues descend, it can cause a heavy, undefined jawline and sagging along the lower face. Deep creases and folds that make you look tired or angry – Lines around the mouth (nasolabial folds),...

Upper eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to correct the sagging, drooping, or puffiness in the upper eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat. Also known as upper blepharoplasty, this procedure helps improve vision in cases where the drooping eyelid obstructs sight, but it is most commonly performed to enhance appearance. At Wave Plastic Surgery, upper eyelid surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgeries at our facilities in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Orange County. Our experienced surgeons tailor each upper eyelid surgery to the individual needs of our patients, ensuring that the results look natural and meet your aesthetic goals. This procedure is popular among men and women who want to correct the signs of aging or enhance their overall facial harmony. Note: We also commonly perform a modified version of the upper eyelid surgery for patients of Asian descent who are looking for a more significant and broader appearance of their eyes. Visit our Double Eyelid Surgery page for more information. Addressing Droopy Eyelids and Ptosis One of the primary concerns patients have is droopy eyelids, which can contribute to an aged or fatigued appearance. In some cases, severe drooping may indicate ptosis, where eyelid skin sags due to weakened muscles. While upper blepharoplasty can remove loose skin and excess fat, ptosis repair focuses on lifting the eyelid to improve both eye area aesthetics and vision. During your consultation...

### Cheek Surgery

Cheek Surgery From Wave Plastic Surgery Get A Consultation Need A Consultation? Cheek Reduction Surgery in LA, SF and Orange County Cheek procedures are among some of the less known facial plastic surgeries out there. However, reshaping the cheek (or malar) region can go a long way in rejuvenating a person’s appearance or achieving their goal look. While some may be uncomfortable with very prominent or wide cheekbones, others are unhappy with a narrow or gaunt look. Our board-certified plastic surgeons in Los Angeles offer both cheek augmentation and reduction to help our patients get the look that they want. Cheek Augmentation Cheek Reduction Buccal Fat Removal Call 888-674-3001 HOW DOES CHEEK AUGMENTATION WORK? Cheek augmentation can be used to increase the projection of a person’s cheekbone by adding volume to areas which may be recessed or flat. If you have seen before and after photos of cheek augmentation and have liked the results, then you may think of undergoing this plastic surgery procedure. There are several cheek augmentation techniques available—both surgical and non-surgical. We will carefully examine your facial structure and factor in your expectations to determine if either surgical or nonsurgical treatment is recommended. Additionally, if a treatable cause is present it should be identified. Surgical Cheek AugmentationSurgical cheek augmentation is intended to emphasize the cheeks on a person’s face. To augment the cheeks, we may perform facial fat grafting to increase the volume of the cheek. This autologous fat transfer is considered a more permanent option for cheek augmentation. This method takes donor fat cells from other areas of your body and injects them into the cheek to increase their size. The obvious upside to this procedure is that you gain the cheeks that you want while losing a bit of stubborn fat elsewhere. Cheek augmentation is commonly combined with other procedures, such as a facelift surgery or chin augmentation to maintain harmony throughout all of your facial features. Non-Surgical Cheek AugmentationNonsurgical methods of cheek augmentation involve administering injections to the cheekbones. This offers a less invasive and less expensive solution. Dermal fillers, such as Restylane or Juvéderm, can be used to augment the cheek area with hyaluronic acid. These fillers can be injected into the cheek area to add or restore facial volume. The downside of filler injection is that you will need to have the procedure repeated every 1-2 years depending on the type of filler used. Many people prefer the non-surgical approach because of the lack of downtime necessary during the recovery period. If symmetry among facial features is part of your goal, we may also recommend facial implants to augment other areas of your face as well. It’s important to remember that everyone's face is asymmetric to some degree, so your results may not be completely symmetrical. The goal of these procedures is to create balance and proportion. Malar vs. Submalar Cheek ImplantsThe area for cheek volume improvement can be of two types: malar or submalar. They are given these names based on the area of the face where they are placed. The malar area is located in the upper cheek region. If the cheekbones are strongly expressed and high, the face often has a desirable outlook with high and attractive cheekbones. The submalar area is located slightly lower, and can oftentimes be affected by sagging skin as you get older.

Get a Consultation CHEEK REDUCTION SURGERY While well-defined, prominent cheekbones are considered aesthetically pleasing, some people, especially those with East Asian backgrounds, are prone to have excessively prominent cheekbones that do not look proportional or balanced with the rest of their facial features. Through cheek reduction surgery, patients can expect to enjoy an enhanced appearance, more defined features and more defined cheeks, as well as a more narrow face shape. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=5SS5sUmSaYA&feature=youtu. beCheekbone or malar reduction is a procedure used to reshape overly prominent cheekbones. Because the cheekbone is a complex, three dimensional structure, surgical planning involves an in depth consultation, and photographs, x-rays, CT scanning and occasionally 3-dimensional modeling are used to assist operative planning. The procedure takes place under general anesthesia to protect the area. The cheekbone complex is approached through multiple, hidden incisions in the mouth and temporal region. Once exposed, the cheekbone is cut to allow reshaping. The new position is maintained with titanium plates. The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures. After a brief stay in the recovery room, patients are discharged home. Swelling can be substantial at first but dissipates by two weeks, after which most patients can return to work. The final result will be apparent several months after surgery after all the swelling has resolved. The buccal fat is a naturally occurring pocket of fat in the submalar area. The fat in this area has a very distinct appearance, and its function is unknown. There are no known deficits from its removal. The amount of buccal fat varies with each individual patient. The procedure may be performed alone, or in conjunction with faceliftDuring the cheek reduction surgery, the patient is administered local anesthesia, the surgeon makes incisions, harvests the fat through liposuction or other means, then closes the incisions. This surgery can be as short as an hour.

OR Call 888-674-3001 Buccal Fat Removal At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Asian Rhinoplasty in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Asian Rhinoplasty is a technically challenging and delicate procedure that requires a skillful plastic surgeon who is both meticulous and has a keen eye for detail. However, the most important aspect of performing a Rhinoplasty is not the procedure itself, but to have a clear idea of the realistic expectations of the patient. A beautiful shape of the nose is important to a person because it stands at the center of the face, giving harmony to the overall facial appearance. Rhinoplasty of the Asian nose can be quite challenging to surgeons unfamiliar with the difficulties in working with this population. The anatomy of the nasal bones and cartilage structures differs from other ethnicities. For example, the nasal bones are broad and flat, while the tip cartilages tend to be thin and amorphous. The nasal skin is thicker and more sebaceous, creating less definition in the tip of the nose. Because of these differences, techniques that are standard in non-Asian rhinoplasty are not applicable. Most rhinoplasties involve dorsal hump reduction and tip cartilage reshaping. In contrast, the vast majority of Asian patients present with a nose deficient in dorsal height and length, as well as poor tip projection and definition. As a result, rhinoplasty in Asians typically involves methods to augment the volume in both the dorsum and tip regions. Call 888-674-3001 Read More Asian Rhinoplasty https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=MwGAiPH8a58 When you come in for your consultation, we will listen carefully to your expectations in order to gauge how much augmentation is needed, as well as the type of treatment each area of your nose will need. We know how critical it is that you and your surgeon are on the same page, so please do not be afraid to ask questions or bring up any concerns. Don’t waste time speaking with plastic surgeons who are unfamiliar with the anatomy of your type of nose. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we specialize in providing natural looking results for the growing Asian American community in Southern California. Give us a call today to speak with one of our trained plastic surgeons. Call Us At: 888-674-3001 Asian Nose Surgery Offers Facial Enhancement Benefits The majority of our East Asian patients in Los Angeles seeks nasal augmentation in contrast to Occidental or European patients who generally request a reduction. On average, the East Asian nose appears more triangular, the nasal bridge is typically flatter, the spine is often shorter and less defined, and the tip of the nose tends to be wider and less angular. Southeast Asians typically benefit the most from augmentation of the bridge and length, while East Asians often request less, or even none at all. The desire for nostril reduction is also more frequent in Southeast Asians than those from the Northeast. Asian nose surgery can be more challenging because the cartilage is often more fragile and the overlying skin is thicker. Real Wave Patient. See more on our Before & After gallery! DCF Rhinoplasty The goal of an Asian rhinoplasty is no longer just to increase the size of the nose as it was 20 years ago. With a greater understanding of the anatomy, we now augment the dorsum (bridge) separately, carefully defining and augmenting the tip of the nose using a separate, anatomical unit. The nasal tip can be sculpted by manipulating the cartilages of the nose as well as augmenting it with cartilage from the septum and ear. The dorsum, which refers to the bony area of the nose that runs from between the eyes through the tip of the nose, can be augmented with either a synthetic implant made of silicone or EPTFE (Gore-Tex) or a graft made from the patient’s own tissue, referred to as diced cartilage fascia (DCF). Unlike an implant which comes in pre-defined sizes and shapes, the DCF graft can be molded to the surgeon’s desire, much like a sculptor molding clay. Once the DCF graft incorporates into the nose, it becomes a part of the patient and feels like part of the native nose and gives the nose a very natural look. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=RWqs4HWOWPw Although the risk of an infection of a synthetic implant is low, the risk remains present throughout the lifetime of the implant. If the implant becomes infected, the body may not be able to clear the infection, even with antibiotics, requiring the removal of the implant. One of the other advantages of the DCF graft is that it behaves like any other part of the patient’s own body. Although exceedingly rare, a nasal infection with DCF can be treated with antibiotics like an infection to any other part of the body. Augmentation of the Dorsum There are a wide variety of methods to augment a low or deficient dorsum. Traditionally, a silicone implant has been used. Silicone has the advantage of being well tolerated by the human body and has long history of safety in medical settings. It is highly consistent and can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes to suit an individual patient. Silicone Implants Pro: Inert and very stable. If secondary surgery is required, very easy to remove. Con: Sometimes, they do not stick and they move around. They can also form capsular contracture, being able to see the boundaries of the implant distinctly, therefore more unnatural Microporous materials such...

Call 888-674-3001 to speak to our experts now Brow Lifts in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco The brow and forehead area is often the first part of our body to clearly show the signs of aging. Heaviness and drooping of the eyebrows can give us a tired, and sometimes even an angry or depressed look. Drooping of the eyebrows may also produce heaviness of the upper eyelids, possibly causing hooding of the upper lid skin if you have an existing supratarsal fold. Call 888-674-3001 Read More Everything You Need to Know about Endoscopic Brow Lifts A brow lift, also sometimes called a forehead lift, revitalizes the appearance of the face above the eyes. The aging process causes the skin on the forehead to droop. This can alter your facial expression and give off the appearance of frowning or looking dissatisfied, exhausted or anxious. A brow lift removes excess sagging, skin and repositions the underlying tissues. A brow lift can correct age lines and restore a smoother, more youthful appearance. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=b5mUiC-WnFg&feature=youtu. be Benefits of a Brow Lift and Forehead Lift As the brow sags and causes hooding of the upper eyelid, you may tend to unconsciously elevate your eyebrows, which causes both dynamic and static horizontal lines to appear on the forehead. Repeated frowning can also cause deep vertical creases to form between the eyebrows – these are often referred to as frown lines or 11’s. Sagging of the skin in the corners of the brow also increases the appearance of the crow’s feet. By repositioning the brow to a more natural position, the eyes will appear larger, more vibrant, and less tired. The position of the brow is different in men and women. Our Los Angeles area plastic surgeons are skilled in evaluating each individual patient to determine a necessary position of the brow for their unique facial structure and situation. Having a browlift can help correct issues such as: A drooping or heavy brow Sagging skin Deep forhead furrows and lines Crow's feet Frown lines If you are currently unhappy with your appearance due to one or more of the above issues, a brow lift may help to provide you with a brighter look that can often result in a boost of your self-confidence. The Two Types of Brow Lifts Endoscopic Brow Lifts with Endotine An endoscopic brow lift or commonly known as endobrow lift is a technique perfected at Wave Plastic Surgery by Dr. Peter Lee. The majority of patients considering a brow lift are candidates for this less-invasive technique. Rather than making a long, extended incision, Dr. Lee will make several small incisions within the hairline for minimum visibility. Then, using a small telescopic camera and special surgical instruments, the entire forehead is mobilized while visualizing it on a monitor. This frees up the forehead, so that we may move the brow upwards without much tension. Also, in conjunction, the corrugator muscles are transected to smoothen any vertical lines between the eyebrows. To keep the brow in its new position, Dr. Lee uses a special device called ENDOTINE to fix the forehead tissue to the bone. This device dissolves on its own after several months so that there is no permanent foreign body beneath your skin. The new position of your brow is kept with reattachment of the entire undermined surface. The advantages of endoscopic brow lift are minimal scarring, minimal discomfort and a speedy recovery time. Dr. Peter Lee, MD FACS is one of the few certified Endotine Advanced Surgeon Trainers. See more on our Before & After gallery! Open Brow Lift Surgery An open brow lift may be necessary if you’re suffering from excessive brow ptosis with excess skin. This surgery is accomplished by making an incision across the top of your head just behind the headline. The incision will be camouflaged within your hair, but we will not likely need to shave any during your surgery. Like the endoscopic method, the forehead soft tissue is elevated, but under direct vision. For people with frown lines, the corrugator muscle is transected as well. Your surgeon will excise any excess skin in order to address sagging of your brow. Using this technique, the forehead can be lengthened or shortened. Again, the final strength of the repositioned forehead is achieved by the attachment of the undermined surface to the new position using the ENDOTINE device. The advantage of this procedure is that maximum benefits can be obtained for patients with severe ptosis of the forehead and excess skin. GET STARTED WITH YOUR BROW LIFT SURGERY Waiting to have the procedures you want can end up costing you more in the long run as your face continues to age. If you are avoiding the mirror or changing your hairstyle to cover up an aging brow, don’t wait any longer for it to get worse. Wave Plastic Surgery is proud to serve Los Angeles.

Mens Procedures From Wave Plastic Surgery Get A Consultation Need A Consultation? Plastic Surgery for Men in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Orange County, CA At Wave Plastic Surgery, we strive to understand your unique concerns and goals to find the right treatment plan for you. When it comes to plastic surgery procedures for men, we will be honest about the pros and cons of this treatment option. For many men, the significant results of a male plastic surgery procedure can offer life-changing improvements to the body and confidence. We’ve helped hundreds of men achieve long-lasting results from their plastic surgery procedure with customizable techniques to meet their unique concerns and goals. As board-certified surgeons, we aim to deliver the best care, from consultation to post-op.   What is Plastic Surgery for Men? Plastic surgery for men involves procedures specifically designed to meet the unique concerns and goals of male patients. Men often have many of the same cosmetic concerns as women, but they usually have different goals for their procedure. The following male procedures are offered here at WAVE Plastic Surgery: Chin Augmentation To correct a weak or recessed chin. A chin that is too short or too large can cause the face to look disproportionate, which can cause much insecurity. However, with chin augmentation, your chin can be transformed with implants or microfat grafting improving the definition of the neck and jawline. See the Chin Augmentation Page Eyelid Rejuvenation Many men suffer extra skin hanging from the upper or lower eyelid. This can lead to an aged, tired, and exhausted appearance in need of facial rejuvenation. Just a small amount of skin or fat removal in the upper or lower eyelids can brighten the eyes and significantly improve the facial appearance. See the Eyelid Rejuvenation Page Face & Necklift As we age, gravity, sun damage and genetics affect all parts of the body and our faces are one of the first areas to show it. The effects of gravity often first appear in your late thirties but become more apparent and prominent once you hit your forties and fifties. Wrinkles, lines, less tonality, and sagging cheeks begin taking over your once firm and youthful face. A good facelift or neck lift with a certified plastic surgeon reverses the signs of aging, achieving a naturally youthful appearance. See the Face & Necklift Page Ear Pinning Ear pinning, also known as Otoplasty, can improve the shape, position, or proportion of a person’s ears. Otoplasty can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth and becomes increasingly apparent with development. It can also be used to treat misshapen ears caused by injury or a previous surgery that has gone wrong. See the Ear Pinning Page Gynecomastia Gynecomastia the condition where male breasts become enlarged, either because of excess breast tissue or excess fat. All men have breast tissue. It is the same tissue as women, but typically in lesser amounts. Gynecomastia is not as much about the condition as it is an insecurity of having it. See the Gynecomastia Page Liposuction Men have also realized that reducing an unwanted bulge of fat that has not responded to their exercise protocol can be improved with one procedure. The popularity of liposuction and body contouring procedure is now seeing a dramatic rise among male patients.

Wave Plastic Surgery In The Media Stay in the Loop with WAVE Plastic Surgery Want to know who else visits Wave Plastic Surgery, where we’ve been featured and what recent awards we’ve received? Take a peek at some of our features in the media and press: All the Intel on Cold Laser Therapy, Which Can Speed Recovery and Relieve Pain Wave's own Ben Lee MD helps explain the benefits of Cold Laser Therapy in Well+Good's article on recovery and pain relief. He explains, “it involves applying low-intensity laser energy to injured tissue, and unlike ‘hot’ lasers, cold laser therapy does not rely on application of heat, which can burn the skin. ”Read the full article on Well + Good. TRETINOIN PURGE: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ‘RETINOL UGLIES’ In this article, Dr. Denise Wong of Wave Plastic Surgery explains the science behind the phenomenon known as "Tretinoin Purge. " She says: “during the initial phase, patients may experience a temporary skin purge that can cause skin conditions to worsen before improving. ” Dr. Wong continues, “Tretinoin increases skin cell turnover rate, causing trapped sebum and debris to rise to the skin surface which increases exfoliation of dead skin cells, leading to redness, peeling, and sudden acne breakouts where you frequently get acne. ”Read the full article on Naira. The Best Products For Hyperpigmentation Dr. Ben Lee of Wave Plastic Surgery breaks down the medicinal benefits of some of the best products used to combat hyperpigmentation for Elite Daily. Dr. Ben Lee explains why a good foundation for any skincare regime should include Elta MD sunscreen. He says, “Elta MD’s line of sun-blocking products is popular with dermatology and plastic surgery offices and should be the foundation of any regimen to control hyperpigmentation. In addition to the sun protection it offers, the formula contains niacinamide, which is not only effective at treating hyperpigmentation. "The full article is on Elite Daily. This Is Exactly How Liposuction Works, According to Doctors Wave's Dr. Ben Lee was featured in this article from New Beauty to help explain the desire for liposuction. He said, “Although a wide variety of patients can benefit from liposuction, the ideal patient is fairly proportionate with one or two trouble areas that they just can’t seem to lose no matter how much diet and exercise they do. ”Read the full article on NewBeauty. This Retinol Eye Stick Gave Shoppers a 'Sudden Reduction' in Fine Lines In this article, Denise Wong, MD, of Wave Plastic Surgery, gave some advice for adding Retinol to your beauty regime. She reminds users to be aware of possible side effects. She said, "Retinol can increase skin sensitivity which can cause dryness, redness, peeling, skin irritation, and photosensitivity. Sometimes retinol can cause acne to flare. It is important to slowly introduce retinol into your skin regimen to allow your skin to have adequate time to acclimate. "The full article is on Real Simple. What Is Botox? (Plus, More Helpful Info) In this Shape Magazine article, Wave's Dr. Denise Wong, M. D. , F. A. C. S offers some insight into what Botox is and how it works. Dr. Wong explains, "normally, when you want to initiate a movement, your brain tells your nerves to release acetylcholine. The acetylcholine binds to receptors on your muscles, and the muscles respond by contracting. " She goes on to say "It causes a temporary paralysis of that muscle, that allows the overlying skin above that muscle to not contract, which leads to smoothing out of the wrinkles or the creases that you see on the skin. "The full article is on Shape. Are Thread Lifts a Lower-Stakes Facelift Alternative? Dr. Peter Lee provides some insight into PDO Thread lifts, including information on how they work and what they can accomplish in this Shape Magazine article. He explained, "over the years, the thread lift has evolved to do more than just tighten the skin," says Dr. Lee. "It's also now utilized to enhance the volume of hollow regions as well as lines. They can act almost like a filler for the smile line area and also increase the smoothness and improve the texture of the skin as well. "The full article is on Shape. The Pandemic Prompted Men to Get Aesthetic Treatments In this article, Dr. Ben Lee of Wave Plastic Surgery weighs in on the topic of male plastic surgery saying: "it is clear that a large proportion of men are interested in cosmetic procedures. “This trend is sure to increase—largely due to social media. It is now acceptable for men to post selfies, and it is increasingly acceptable for men to be concerned with their appearance. With this level of interest, it is inevitable that we will see an increase in male cosmetic surgery in the coming years. ”The full article is on NewBeauty. TikTok's Inverted Filter Is Going Viral, but Is It Damaging Your Mental Health? Dr. Ben Lee of Wave Plastic Surgery weighs in on the topic of Social Media beauty standards saying: "It's important to remember that nothing is as perfect as it seems on social media — not someone's "symmetrical face," or their relationship, or their job. "Everything we see on social media is perfect by design," said Dr. Lee. "None of us can compete with this idealized version of reality. We would all do better to keep in mind that augmented reality isn't all that real. "The full article is on PopSugar. Plastic Surgeons Say This Is the Summer of 40-Something-Year-Olds Getting Facelifts In this article, Dr. Peter Lee of Wave Plastic Surgery shares some insight on why more people in their 40s opting to get Facelifts. He said, “I think people are living longer and living more productive lives both personally and professionally, the desire for anti-aging intervention is growing. The mind and heart are younger than the appearance—and if there are solutions, people are willing to explore options such as a facelift. ”The full article is on New Beauty. WAVE IN...

He is cautious, honest, and caring. He considered my profession in ultimately deciding what was best for me and he was right. I had a complex breast reconstruction and he handled the issue with precision and ease. I can only imagine what great work he could do for someone without the added burden of reconstruction. I am overly pleased with my results and recommend him to everyone. I’ve recommended my mom and sister to him and trust that he will take great care of them. Dr. Lee is easy to access, he has offices in a few locations in southern California and one in San Francisco his Irvine office is clean and filled with the friendliest staff. Highly recommend Dr. Lee and his team at Wave. Gabriel ChinoRhinoplasty Nose SurgeryDouble Eyelid Surgery Read More I had a nose surgery in Korea two years ago. But the tip of my nose got red easily and even implant came out. This really terrified me. When I called the hospital where I had a nose surgery, they wanted me to come back to Korea to have re-surgery. It takes 13hrs to get there by airplane and I might need more vacation for re-surgery. So, I tried to find out a good doctor in LA near my house for my nose re-surgery. I consulted with Dr. Peter Lee and decided to have a re-surgery for my problematic nose. I didn't know my nose was inflamed. New implant was inserted and Dr. Lee had my nose skin not to be thinner any more. New implant was inserted at Wave Plastic Surgery Center in LA and Dr. Lee had my nose skin not to be thinner any more. I don't have a nightmare of my nose any more. I really thank you for Dr. Peter Lee. Of course, the shape of my nose got much better than before. I paid $ 8,000, but i think it was worth it. If i chose to go back to Korea to have re-surgery, I would spend more money for the airplane ticket, hotel bills and need more vacation. I think I had excellent choice. If you have the same problem like me, please hurry to see a doctor. Lauren PanDouble Eyelid Surgery Read More Dr. Lee was very wonderful and absolutely knowledgeable in his own field. When I first met him, I felt comfortable and very safe in that environment. He was very informative and took me through the procedure (lower eyelid surgery) very thoroughly. He helped me understand exactly what was going on and I personally think there is no one as qualified as him. Definitely will come back for my facelift with him since I heard he's the best at it.

He naturally has a sharp aesthetic eye, so rest assured that he will know what's best for his patients! !

At Wave Plastic Surgery Body Procedures Need a Consultation? Body Procedures At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Body Procedures in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Diet and exercise are essential to maintaining good health. However, as you get older it can become harder to keep your body looking the way you want despite your efforts in the gym and in the kitchen. A slowing metabolism makes it harder to burn off stubborn fat and longer work hours means more time sitting at a desk and less free time to exercise. Even when we do find time to stick to a normal workout regimen, our bodies naturally become more resistant to traditional weight loss methods. Not to mention, there are some conditions such as excess skin that simply cannot be addressed without surgery. The following procedures at Wave Plastic Surgery can help you to sculpt your ideal body. Arm Lift If you’re struggling with excess skin on your arms due to aging or losing a large amount of weight, an arm lift can help provide you with a tighter, well-toned contour. Arm lift surgery can be just what you need to feel more confident showing off your arms. Read more... See the Arm Lift Page Body Lift Also known as a belt lipectomy, a body lift can help to provide you with a circumferential tightening of loose skin around your body. Sagging skin of the lower back, hips, abdomen, and buttocks can be improved with a body lift procedure. Read more... See the Body Lift Page Brazilian Butt Lift Using your own donor fat cells, you can now achieve the shapely, feminine backside you desire. The Brazilian Butt Lift continues to gain more popularity as a means for women to turn a flat butt into a silhouette they’re proud to display at the beach. Read more... See the Brazilian Butt Lift Page Calf Reduction If you are unhappy with the appearance of your legs due to some unwanted thickness, a calf reduction can help give you the look you want. There are various ways to achieve effective calf reduction, which will be discussed during your consultation. Read more... See the Calf Reduction Page Liposuction Liposuction is still one of the most popular fat reduction procedures. Men and women struggling to lose their double chins, love handles or belly pooches with diet and exercise alone can benefit from liposuction. Read more... See the Liposuction Page Mommy Makeover Having children can lead to a wide variety of physical changes, from sagging breasts to loose abdominal skin and excess fat. Our Los Angeles mommy makeover packages are customized to each individual mother to address her own unique needs. Read more... See the Mommy Makeover Page Thigh Lift Excess skin can be left hanging from your upper thighs following major weight loss. A thigh lift removes unwanted skin and tightens the underlying tissue to provide you with firm, sexy legs. Read more... See the Thigh Lift Page Tummy Tuck When you lose a lot of weight or give birth to a child (or more), you can find yourself stuck with pounds of extra skin hanging off your abdomen. A tummy tuck works to remove excess skin, restore the abdominal wall and provide for a flatter, smoother contouring of the abdomen. Read more...

Breast Procedures At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Breast Procedures At Wave Plastic Surgery Need a Consultation? Breast Procedures in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco Your breasts are unique to your body and should always be treated as such. When you come in for your breast surgery, we take the time to carefully discuss your expectations and develop the proper treatment plan so we are best able to provide you with your desired figure. Our breast procedures are designed to give each individual woman the opportunity to achieve her own ideal shape and size for her breasts. Not every woman wants the same thing. Some are looking to recover from the effects of pregnancy and motherhood, others to enhance the appearance of naturally small breasts or reduce the size of breasts that are too large and causing discomfort, and then there are those who have survived breast cancer and are now looking to return to their normal lives. Because of this, breast surgery can often be a life changing procedure and we strive to provide only the best, most natural-looking results. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer the following cosmetic and reconstructive breast procedures. Breast Implant Breast implants are not meant to last forever. In case of complication or if you are looking to change your current implants for aesthetic reasons, we can perform a breast implant revision. Read more... See the Breast Implant Page Breast Lift With age, pregnancy or weight loss, the breasts begin to sag and droop downward. The breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove the loose, excess skin to reposition the breasts for a more youthful and perky look. Read more... See the Breast Lift Page Breast Reconstruction Women with breast cancer often undergo a mastectomy to beat it. However, losing a breast can act as a constant reminder of the struggle against breast cancer and can leave a woman feeling less feminine. Breast reconstruction surgery is a highly personalized procedure that works to reconstruct the breast(s) removed during the mastectomy. Read more... See the Breast Reconstruction Page Breast Reduction Not every woman is looking to increase the size of her breasts. Those with breasts that are disproportionately large may suffer from physical pain and emotional discomfort. A breast reduction procedure can help to reshape the breasts for a size that is more balanced with the rest of your body. Read more...

Gone are the days when plastic surgery meant dramatic, noticeable changes that announced to the world, "I've had work done. " Today, amidst viral beauty trends on social media platforms like TikTok, we're firmly in what experts call "the undetectable era" of plastic surgery. In this environment, subtle adjustments and minimally invasive procedures create naturally beautiful results that enhance rather than alter one's appearance. Call Us: 888-674-3001 What is Micro Plastic Surgery? Micro plastic surgery encompasses the range of minimally invasive and non-surgical procedures that provide subtle enhancements with minimal downtime. These include treatments like precisely placed fillers, Botox, thread lifts, and other techniques allowing gradual, natural-looking improvements. As our surgeons explain, "Micro plastic surgery is an array of techniques we used to call noninvasive or minimally invasive nonsurgical procedures. We don't think of the employment of these procedures as 'an entry point for larger plastic surgeries down the line'. Rather, it is a matter of choosing the right tool from our ever-expanding tool kit to solve the problem at hand. " The Philosophy of Less is More At Wave Plastic Surgery, our approach is grounded in the principle that subtle changes can create significant impacts. Our renowned board-certified plastic surgeons believe in addressing specific aesthetic concerns with precision rather than making sweeping alterations that can lead to an unnatural appearance. "It is always best practice in plastic surgery to try to choose the least invasive procedure possible to address a particular aesthetic issue without compromising the result," note our experts. This philosophy aligns perfectly with modern aesthetic goals: looking refreshed and rejuvenated while maintaining unique features and natural expressions. The Changing Face of Aesthetic Patients Today's patients are more informed, proactive, and wellness-oriented. We've observed two distinct groups driving the trend toward micro plastic surgery: The Health-Conscious Preventers: One of our expert surgeons states, "There is a cohort of younger patients who are much more interested in health and wellness than their predecessors. They have an understanding of the way in which, for example, exposure to sunlight or fluctuations in their weight can make them look more aged earlier in life. " These patients seek preventative treatments and comprehensive skin care programs that maintain their youthful appearance. The Early Interventionists: "Then there is a second group of young to middle-aged patients who see early signs of facial aging that they wish to address more immediately, rather than waiting to do more aggressive facial rejuvenation surgeries later in life. " We've developed specialized minimally invasive surgical procedures for these patients, many utilizing endoscopic techniques that require smaller incisions and quicker recovery times. Social Media and Beauty Trends The influence of social media platforms like TikTok on beauty ideals cannot be overlooked. New aesthetic concepts like "canthal tilt," "facial golden ratios," and "high vs. low visual weight" regularly trend online, creating awareness of facial aesthetics previously confined to professional settings. Interestingly, many of these viral beauty trends aren't actually new. As our surgeons point out, "Many of these TikTok trends, such as the golden ratio or the concept of canthal tilt, are analytical tools that plastic surgeons have been using for decades. " While social media filters and trends have certainly increased interest in aesthetic procedures, they sometimes create unrealistic expectations. Our approach is to educate patients about what's realistically achievable and beneficial for their unique facial structure. Call Us: 888-674-3001 The Art of Natural Results Creating truly natural-looking results requires both technical skill and artistic vision. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our doctors pride themselves on a holistic approach that considers how each facial feature relates to others and how adjustments will age over time. The goal isn't to follow fleeting trends but to enhance natural beauty in a way that looks effortless. As our experts explain, "The happiest patient is not the one chasing an externally imposed 'physical standard', but rather one who pursues a realistic, natural, beautiful aesthetic result, based on her own anatomy and tissues, that can be achieved reliably, comfortably, and safely. " Popular Micro Plastic Surgery Procedures Several minimally invasive procedures have become particularly popular among patients seeking natural enhancements: Neuromodulators: Beyond the well-known Botox, newer options like Xeomin, Dysport, and Jeuveau offer subtle relaxation of facial muscles to reduce fine lines while maintaining natural expressions. Advanced Filler Techniques: Today's dermal fillers aren't just about adding volume. Our surgeons use precise micro-doses to subtly enhance facial contours, restore lost structure, and improve skin quality. Thread Lifts: These minimally invasive lifts provide a subtle "refreshed" look without the downtime or commitment of traditional facelift surgery. Non-Surgical Skin Tightening: Technologies like Ultherapy, Morpheus8, and radiofrequency treatments stimulate collagen production for naturally firmer, more youthful skin. The Future of Aesthetic Enhancement The evolution of micro plastic surgery continues to accelerate as new technologies emerge. "It is likely that we will see a further evolution of 'micro-plastic surgery' as innovations in other realms, such as laser technology, genetic engineering, 3-D printing, etc. , begin to be integrated into the field of aesthetics," our experts predict. This ongoing innovation promises even more refined approaches to aesthetic enhancement, with treatments becoming increasingly personalized, less invasive, and more natural in their results.

### Facelift for Younger Patients: How Young is Too Young?

> Learn about prejuvenation, how young is too young for a facelift, and personalized approaches to facial rejuvenation at Wave Plastic Surgery.

- Published: 2025-05-14

- Categories: Facelift

In recent years, a growing trend has emerged in the world of plastic surgery: younger patients seeking preventative facelift procedures. While facelifts were traditionally associated with individuals in their 60s or 70s, there has been a noticeable shift with patients in their 20s, 30s, and 40s now considering this transformative procedure. But this raises an important question: How young is too young for a facelift? Call Us: 888-674-3001 The Rise of "Prejuvenation" in Facial Rejuvenation One of the most significant trends driving younger patients to consider facelift procedures is the concept of "prejuvenation" – a proactive approach to addressing aging before more dramatic signs appear. What is Prejuvenation? Prejuvenation combines preventive measures with aesthetic treatments to slow aging before significant signs of aging become visible. Rather than waiting until facial aging is advanced, prejuvenation aims to:Start treatments earlier when the skin still has natural elasticityRequire less invasive procedures to achieve the desired resultsPotentially delay the need for more extensive surgeries later in lifeMaintain a consistently youthful appearance throughout the aging process The Growing Appeal of Early Intervention The prejuvenation trend has gained momentum in recent years due to several factors:The "Zoom Boom": Increased video conferencing following the pandemic has made people more aware of their facial appearanceSocial Media Influence: Younger generations are more exposed to beauty standards and aesthetic treatments through filters, photo editing, and AI. Advanced Techniques: Modern facelift techniques can deliver more natural results with less downtimeCumulative Benefits: Starting earlier can mean enjoying results for a longer periodScientific Understanding: Better knowledge about how facial aging occurs has led to more targeted approachesFor younger patients in their 30s and early 40s, addressing the initial signs of facial aging can prevent more significant changes down the line. This approach aligns with the philosophy that maintaining is often easier than restoring. Is There a "Minimum Age" for a Facelift? Contrary to popular belief, there is no specific age that universally qualifies or disqualifies someone for a facelift. Instead, candidacy is determined by individual factors such as:The presence of noticeable skin laxityFormation of jowls or sagging in the mid and lower faceLoss of definition along the jawlineGenetic predisposition to early agingOverall skin quality and elasticityThe team at Wave Plastic Surgery, led by world-renowned surgeons including Dr. Peter Lee, Dr. Ben Lee, Dr. Jonathan Shifren, and Dr. Denise Wong, takes a personalized approach to every patient, recognizing that aging affects each person differently, regardless of age. Call Us: 888-674-3001 Expert Perspectives on Young Facelifts Many board-certified plastic surgeons, including those at Wave Plastic Surgery, advise thoughtful consideration for patients in their 30s considering a traditional facelift. Board-certified plastic surgeons generally agree that facial anatomy, rather than age, should be the primary consideration. However, there are legitimate cases where younger patients may benefit from facelift procedures:Significant weight loss resulting in facial skin laxityPremature aging due to genetics or environmental factorsWhen non-surgical options have been exhausted without achieving the desired resultsRecovery from rhinoplasty typically takes 1-2 weeks for the initial healing, with final results developing over the following months as swelling subsides. The result is a nose that better harmonizes with your other facial features, creating a more balanced side profile. A Personalized Approach to Prejuvenation At Wave Plastic Surgery, every patient's aging process is unique. For those interested in preventative facial rejuvenation, here are some approaches that might be discussed during your consultation: 1. A Comprehensive Skin Analysis A comprehensive consultation typically begins by thoroughly assessing your skin's condition, elasticity, and unique aging patterns to create a tailored treatment plan. 2. Customized Treatment Timeline Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, experts often develop a strategic timeline that could include:Early 30s: Focus on medical-grade skincare and non-invasive treatments to maintain skin qualityMid-to-Late 30s: Introduction of neuromodulators and dermal fillers to address dynamic wrinkles and volume lossEarly 40s: Consideration of thread lifts, mini facelifts, or other minimally invasive procedures for patients showing more pronounced signs of agingMid-40s and beyond: More comprehensive surgical options based on individual needsThis timeline can vary significantly based on individual factors. Some people in their late 20s may already show signs of aging that others won't experience until their 50s. The focus should always be on addressing your specific concerns rather than following an age-based protocol. 3. Combination Approaches Many experts in facial rejuvenation find that combining different treatment modalities can provide optimal results for prejuvenation. Some examples include:Advanced Skin Tightening + Medical-Grade Facials: For improving skin quality and textureLaser Treatments + Dermal Fillers: For addressing both surface concerns and volume lossMini Facelift + Fat Grafting: For cases requiring more definitive results Benefits of the Prejuvenation Approach There are several significant advantages to addressing facial aging earlier rather than waiting: 1. Superior Aesthetic Results The results often appear more natural and harmonious when procedures are performed on younger skin with better elasticity and collagen production. Younger skin tends to "bounce back" better after surgical intervention. 2. Less Extensive Procedures Required Addressing concerns when they first appear typically requires less invasive techniques. This means smaller incisions, less tissue manipulation, and focusing only on the areas that need correction rather than a complete overhaul. 3. Longer-Lasting Outcomes Interestingly, facelift results can last longer when performed on younger patients. With good skin elasticity and structure, the improvements can maintain their quality for many years, potentially outlasting results in older patients. 4. Gradual, Subtle Transformation Rather than a dramatic change that might occur when waiting until significant aging has occurred, the prejuvenation approach allows for subtle, incremental improvements that friends and colleagues may not even notice – they'll just think you look consistently refreshed and well-rested. 5. Psychological Benefits Many patients report increased confidence and reduced anxiety about aging when proactively addressing their concerns. This preventative approach can eliminate years of self-consciousness about developing facial aging signs. Making the Right Decision for Your Face The decision to undergo any facial rejuvenation procedure should always be made thoughtfully and with proper guidance. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we believe in educating our patients and creating customized treatment plans based...

If you are researching facial rejuvenation procedures, you have likely encountered both the mini facelift and the mid-facelift. These two popular options target different areas of the face and vary in terms of invasiveness and results. But what exactly sets them apart, and which one might be right for your facial structure, skin aging, and aesthetic goals? Let’s break down the differences between a mini facelift and a mid-facelift. More insight into the difference between the two approaches can help you make a more informed decision about your cosmetic journey. Call Us: 888-674-3001 What Is a Mini Facelift? A mini facelift is a less invasive version of the traditional facelift, ideal for those with early signs of aging—especially around the lower face and jawline. This procedure typically involves shorter incisions and a quicker recovery. Best for: Mild skin laxityEarly jowls or sagging near the jawlineYounger patients in their 40s–50s Benefits: Less downtimeSubtle, natural-looking liftCan be performed under local anesthesia in some casesLearn more about Mini Facelift surgery at Wave Plastic Surgery. What Is a Mid-Facelift? A mid-facelift targets the area from the lower eyelids down to the corners of the mouth and upper cheeks. It is designed to lift and reposition sagging fat pads in the cheek area, restore volume, and create a more youthful midface contour. Best for: Midface volume lossDrooping cheeks or deep nasolabial foldsAging that affects the area around the eyes and nose Benefits: More comprehensive lifting than a mini faceliftDramatic cheek contouringOften combined with other procedures for optimal resultsExplore our Mid-Facelift procedure overview.

Call Us: 888-674-3001 Which Facelift Is Right for Me? The decision between a mini facelift and a mid-facelift depends on your specific facial anatomy, aging concerns, and how subtle or dramatic you want your results to be. If you’re in the early stages of aging and want a quicker recovery, a mini facelift may be perfect. If you’re experiencing deeper volume loss and midface drooping, a mid-facelift might offer better, longer-lasting results. The best way to determine the right fit?

A double chin, medically known as submental fat, is a common concern that affects individuals regardless of age or body type. Whether it's due to genetics, aging, or weight fluctuations, many seek effective double chin removal options to reduce or eliminate excess chin fat and achieve a more defined jawline. This guide explores both non-surgical and surgical options available at Wave Plastic Surgery to help you make an informed decision. Call Us: 888-674-3001 What Causes a Double Chin? A double chin isn’t always caused by weight gain. Genetics, aging, posture, and weight fluctuations can all contribute to developing submental fullness. https://youtu. be/d041wVhMtHw? feature=shared Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatments If you're not ready for surgery, there are several effective non-surgical chin fat removal options available: Kybella An injectable treatment that dissolves fat under the chin using deoxycholic acid. CoolSculpting A non-invasive procedure that freezes and eliminates fat cells with no downtime. Other non-surgical options include Ultherapy and FaceTite, which help tighten the skin and improve jawline definition without surgery. Learn more on our non-surgical treatment page or explore FaceTite for contouring and tightening. How Do You Treat a Double Chin Without Surgery? You can treat a double chin non-surgically through a variety of techniques, including fat-freezing, fat-dissolving injections, and skin tightening devices. These double chin reducing treatments are ideal for individuals seeking results with minimal to no downtime. Call Us: 888-674-3001 Double Chin Surgery Options: Liposuction, Neck Lift & Facelift When natural methods and non-invasive procedures aren’t enough, double chin surgery may be the most effective option for achieving dramatic, long-lasting results. Here are three of the most popular surgical approaches: Liposuction Removes excess fat under the chin through a small incision. Liposuction is ideal for individuals with good skin elasticity who want targeted fat removal without excess skin tightening. Neck Lift A neck lift tightens underlying muscles and removes sagging skin, offering a smooth, youthful jawline. This procedure is often recommended for patients with loose skin or aging-related laxity. Facelift A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a comprehensive anti-aging surgery that lifts and tightens sagging skin in the lower face and neck. It often reduces the appearance of jowls and a double chin, especially when combined with a neck lift. Discover how a facelift can help reduce sagging skin and minimize the appearance of a double chin. Looking for the best surgery for double chin removal?

### How Can I Fix My Side Profile? Expert Solutions for a Balanced Facial Profile

> Explore expert solutions for enhancing your side profile at Wave Plastic Surgery. From rhinoplasty to dermal fillers, find your perfect profile transformation.

- Categories: Face

Have you ever caught a glimpse of yourself from the side and felt disappointed with what you saw? You're not alone. Many of us are more critical of our side profiles than our frontal appearance. Whether it's a receding chin, a prominent nose, or an undefined jawline, these concerns can affect our confidence and self-image. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we understand these concerns and offer numerous solutions to enhance your side profile. Let's explore what makes a balanced side profile and the various treatment options available to help you achieve your desired look. Call Us: 888-674-3001 https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=1PydodhlZG0 Understanding What Makes a Balanced Side Profile A harmonious side profile typically features balanced proportions between the forehead, nose, lips, chin, and neck. Facial plastic surgeons often use the "E-line" (a line drawn from the tip of the nose to the most prominent point of the chin) to evaluate facial balance. Several common concerns can affect how your side profile appears:Recessed chin or weak jawline: Can create the appearance of a "weak" profileProminent or misshapen nose: May dominate your side profileExcess neck fat or skin laxity: Creates the appearance of a "double chin"Undefined jawline: Blurs the clean line between your face and neckDisproportionate facial features: When one feature appears out of balance with the restWhen considering improvements to your side profile, it's essential to understand that facial harmony isn't about conforming to a specific standard but achieving balance that complements your unique features. Let's explore the surgical options that can help address specific concerns. Surgical Solutions for Enhancing Your Side Profile Surgical procedures offer the most dramatic and long-lasting improvements to your side profile. These options can address structural issues and create significant changes to facial contours. Rhinoplasty: Refining Your Nasal Contour The nose is often the most prominent feature in a side profile. A rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, can address concerns such as a dorsal hump (bump on the bridge), a drooping or upturned tip, or overall nasal proportion. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our expert surgeons specialize in traditional and Asian rhinoplasty, creating natural-looking results that complement your unique facial features. Our surgeons understand the importance of preserving ethnic identity while achieving the desired aesthetic improvements. Recovery from rhinoplasty typically takes 1-2 weeks for the initial healing, with final results developing over the following months as swelling subsides. The result is a nose that better harmonizes with your other facial features, creating a more balanced side profile. Chin Augmentation: Creating Balance and Definition A recessed or "weak" chin can significantly impact your side profile, creating the illusion of a more prominent nose or less defined jawline. Chin augmentation using implants or moving the chin bone forward (genioplasty) can create a more projected, defined profile. Our surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery are experts in creating natural-looking results that enhance facial harmony. Chin augmentation can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other facial surgeries for comprehensive profile enhancement. The recovery period for chin augmentation is typically shorter than other facial surgeries, with most patients returning to normal activities within a week. The results can dramatically improve your side profile by creating proper projection and balance with your other facial features. Jawline Contouring: Defining Your Lower Face A well-defined jawline distinguishes the face and neck, enhancing your side profile. Jawline contouring can involve several approaches based on your specific needs and goals. Jaw reduction surgery: For those with an overly square or wide jawlineImplants: To add definition and structureLiposuction: To remove excess fat beneath the jawline At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer customized jawline contouring solutions based on your specific facial structure and aesthetic goals. The recovery timeline varies depending on the technique used, but most patients can expect to see their final results within 1-3 months as swelling subsides. Neck Lift and Liposuction: Refining the Neck Contour The neck plays a crucial role in your side profile. Excess fat, loose skin, or prominent neck bands can detract from an otherwise balanced profile. A smooth transition from chin to neck is essential for an attractive side profile. Solutions include:Neck liposuction: Removes excess fat depositsNeck lift: Tightens loose skin and underlying musclesFaceTite: A minimally invasive procedure that tightens skin and removes fat Recovery from these procedures typically ranges from a few days for minimally invasive options to a couple of weeks for more comprehensive surgeries. The results can dramatically improve your profile by creating a more defined transition between your face and neck. Not everyone is ready or needs surgical intervention. For those seeking less invasive options, several effective non-surgical treatments can enhance your side profile. Non-Surgical Options for Profile Enhancement Non-surgical procedures offer less downtime and can still significantly improve your side profile. These options are ideal for those with more subtle concerns or not ready for surgery. Dermal Fillers: Instant Profile Enhancement Dermal fillers offer an excellent non-surgical option for profile enhancement with immediate results and minimal downtime. These injectable treatments can address multiple concerns affecting your side profile. Chin enhancement: Fillers can add projection and improve chin shapeJawline definition: Creating a more sculpted jawline appearanceNose reshaping: Non-surgical rhinoplasty can address minor nasal irregularities At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer premium filler options from our expert providers for natural-looking results. Results typically last 6-18 months, depending on the specific filler and treatment area. Thread Lifts: Minimally Invasive Lifting Thread lifts offer a minimally invasive solution with minimal downtime for mild to moderate skin laxity affecting your profile. These procedures use special surgical threads to lift gently and reposition sagging facial tissues. Our Flash Lift and New Lift options provide customized solutions based on your needs. Thread lifts can improve jawline definition and neck contour with results lasting 1-3 years, making them an excellent "middle ground" between fillers and surgical options. Kybella: Double Chin Reduction For those concerned primarily with submental fullness (double chin), Kybella offers a non-surgical solution that can dramatically improve your side profile. This FDA-approved injectable treatment permanently dissolves fat cells under the chin. Most patients...

### What Are Nasolabial Folds? Understanding Smile Lines

- Categories: Anti-Aging, Face

Several factors contribute to the deepening of nasolabial folds as we age. These elements often work in tandem, creating the visible changes we associate with facial aging. Let's explore the primary causes of more prominent nasolabial folds. Nasolabial folds – those lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth – also sometimes referred to as laugh lines or smile lines, are a natural part of facial anatomy. While they give character to our smiles, they can also become more pronounced with age, leading many people to seek ways to soften their appearance. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we understand that these facial features can be a cosmetic concern for many of our patients, and we're here to provide you with comprehensive information about what causes nasolabial folds and the various treatment options available. Call Us: 888-674-3001 https://youtu. be/p71rm9edhTw? feature=shared What Exactly Are Nasolabial Folds? Nasolabial folds, often called "smile lines" or "laugh lines," are the natural creases between the sides of the nose and the corners of the mouth. Everyone has these lines to some degree – they're a normal part of facial anatomy and become visible when we smile or laugh. However, these lines can become more pronounced as we age, even when our faces are at rest. These folds play a vital role in our facial expressions and are a sign of a life well-lived, filled with laughter and smiles. But when they become deeper and more prominent, they can contribute to an aged appearance that many people wish to address. Understanding why these folds develop can help you make informed decisions about treatment options. Why Do Nasolabial Folds Become More Pronounced? Several factors contribute to the deepening of nasolabial folds as we age. These elements often work in tandem, creating the visible changes we associate with facial aging. Let's explore the primary causes of more prominent nasolabial folds. 1. Natural Aging Process As we age, our skin loses elasticity and collagen, essential for maintaining youthful-looking skin. This loss of structural support allows the skin to sag and fold, making nasolabial lines more noticeable. Collagen production naturally decreases by about 1% per year after age 20, which explains why these lines gradually become more visible over time. 2. Loss of Facial Volume Another significant factor is the loss of facial fat that occurs naturally with age. Fat pads in our cheeks provide fullness and support when we're younger. As these diminish over time, the skin can droop, deepening the nasolabial folds. This volume loss can make a face appear more hollow and accentuate lines and wrinkles. 3. Sun Damage Years of sun exposure can accelerate collagen breakdown and skin aging, exacerbating the appearance of nasolabial folds. This is why consistent sun protection is crucial to any anti-aging skincare routine. UV radiation damages the skin's supportive structures and can lead to premature aging, making prevention a key aspect of managing nasolabial folds. 4. Lifestyle Factors Certain lifestyle choices, such as smoking, poor nutrition, and inadequate hydration, can also contribute to premature aging and more pronounced nasolabial folds. Smoking, in particular, accelerates collagen breakdown and constricts blood vessels, reducing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the skin. Making positive lifestyle changes can help slow the progression of these lines. 5. Genetics Your genetic makeup also significantly affects how your skin ages and how pronounced your nasolabial folds may become. Some people are simply predisposed to developing deeper lines in this area. Family history often provides clues about how your facial aging may progress, though environmental and lifestyle factors can still influence the outcome. Treatment Options For Nasolabial Folds If you're concerned about the appearance of your nasolabial folds, you'll be pleased to know that there are numerous treatment options available, ranging from non-surgical procedures to more comprehensive surgical approaches. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of solutions tailored to each patient's unique needs and goals. The right approach depends on several factors, including the severity of your nasolabial folds and aesthetic objectives. Non-Surgical Treatments for Smile Lines Non-surgical approaches are increasingly popular for addressing nasolabial folds because they typically involve little to no downtime while providing noticeable improvements. These options are ideal for patients with mild to moderate concerns or those not ready for surgical intervention. Dermal Fillers Dermal fillers are among the most popular and effective treatments for nasolabial folds. These injectable treatments restore lost volume to the face, effectively “filling in” the folds from beneath the skin. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer premium dermal fillers including Juvéderm, Restylane, and Radiesse, which can provide immediate results with minimal downtime. The procedure typically takes about 15-30 minutes, and results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the specific product used. Our expert injectors at Wave carefully place the filler to create natural-looking results that complement your facial features. Neuromodulators While Botox and other neuromodulators like Xeomin and Dysport don’t directly fill nasolabial folds, they can help reduce their appearance by relaxing the muscles that contribute to their formation. When strategically placed, these injections can lift the corners of the mouth and soften the appearance of nasolabial lines. These treatments are particularly effective when combined with other approaches for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Skin Tightening Treatments Non-surgical skin tightening treatments like Ultherapy and Morpheus8 can stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity, addressing one of the root causes of nasolabial fold formation. These treatments work beneath the skin’s surface to create gradual, natural-looking improvements. Wave Plastic Surgery offers cutting-edge skin tightening technologies that can help improve the appearance of nasolabial folds without surgery. Many patients appreciate that these treatments have minimal downtime while providing long-lasting results. The stimulation of new collagen continues for months after treatment, with optimal results typically visible after 3-6 months. Thread Lifts Thread lifts offer a minimally invasive option for lifting sagging skin that contributes to nasolabial folds. This innovative procedure involves placing dissolvable threads beneath the skin to lift and tighten...

What Is a Fox Eye Lift? A fox eye lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to give the eyes a more lifted, elongated, and almond-shaped appearance—similar to the sleek, angled look often seen on models and celebrities. The treatment typically uses dissolvable threads placed under the skin to gently lift the outer corners of the eyes and brows. Unlike traditional surgery, a fox eye lift is minimally invasive, requires little downtime, and offers immediate, natural-looking results. It’s ideal for anyone wanting a more youthful, refreshed look without going under the knife. See more Thread Lift Results in our Before and After Gallery! Patients often ask about the impact of a fox eye thread lift before and after their procedure. Most notice an immediate improvement in the shape and position of their eyes, with results becoming more natural as the threads settle. Review these before and after photos to see how this procedure enhances the look of your eyes. The fox eye lift is a cutting-edge, non-surgical procedure designed to lift and elongate the eyes for a youthful, almond-shaped appearance. Popularized by the fox eye trend, this treatment has gained widespread attention on social media. Patients can achieve dramatic results with minimal downtime, as shown in before and after photos. The fox eye lift has taken the cosmetic world by storm, providing a non-surgical way to lift and elongate the eyes, creating a more defined, alluring look. With its roots in Hollywood and celebrity beauty, the fox eye thread lift has become a popular choice for those seeking to enhance their eye shape without the downtime of surgery. This low-cost medical procedure will give you beautiful almond-shaped eyes and a subtle, alluring enhancement. The non-surgical aesthetics take it to the next level, although the inspiration comes from the latest makeup trends. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the fox eye thread lift, from the benefits to what you can expect during the procedure. How Does the Fox Eye Thread Lift Work? A fox eye thread lift uses dissolvable sutures to lift the outer corners of the eyes, creating the elongated look that defines the fox eye trend. Unlike surgical options, this procedure is minimally invasive, making it a top choice for those seeking a non-surgical fox eye lift. These threads lift the skin, creating an almond-shaped eye that enhances the brow and elongates the eyes. Immediate Lift: You’ll notice an instant lifting effect as the threads tighten the skin around the eyes. Collagen Boost: Over the next few months, your body will naturally produce collagen around the threads, further enhancing the skin's texture and firmness. Temporary Lift: The threads will dissolve over time, but the new collagen continues to support the lifted look. When the threads have been dissolved safely by your body, you may explore another surgery. The duration of the effects varies from person to person and is affected by things such as diet, exercise, and other environmental factors. Threads provide a non-invasive brow lift by tightening the skin around the brow region, which eliminates the appearance of wrinkles and crow's feet from the forehead and around the eyes. Benefits of a Fox Eye Thread Lift There are several key fox eye lift benefits that make this procedure highly sought-after: Minimally Invasive: The non-surgical fox eye thread lift offers a quick procedure with no need for incisions, general anesthesia, or extended recovery times. Immediate Results: You'll see the effects of the lift right after the procedure, making it ideal for those who want fast, visible improvements. Natural-Looking Enhancement: The results are subtle and natural, enhancing your features without looking overdone. Collagen Production: The threads stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing fine lines over time. Low Downtime: With only minor swelling or bruising, most patients can return to their routine within 24-48 hours. This table offers a balanced view of the advantages and limitations of fox eye thread lifts, helping users make informed decisions about the procedure. Pros Cons Minimally Invasive: Requires no surgery and involves a quick procedure with local anesthesia. Temporary Results: Results last 6-12 months, requiring maintenance for long-term effects. Quick Recovery: Minimal downtime with most patients resuming normal activities within 1-2 days Potential Asymmetry: Thread placement can result in uneven results if not done by an experienced professional. Immediate Results: Lifting effects are visible right away, with continued improvements over time as collagen builds. Mild Side Effects: Temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort can occur after the procedure. Cost-Effective: Less expensive than surgical alternatives like brow lifts or facelifts. Risk of Complications: While rare, complications like infection or thread visibility can occur. Stimulates Collagen: Threads promote collagen production, which helps improve skin texture and firmness. Not Permanent: Unlike surgery, the procedure does not offer permanent results. Low-Risk Procedure: No general anesthesia is required, reducing surgical risks. May Need Follow-Up: Some patients may need additional treatments or touch-ups to maintain desired results. Understanding Thread Lifts Thread lifts are a popular non-surgical alternative to a facelift, where dissolvable threads are inserted beneath the skin to lift and tighten the facial tissues. At Wave Plastic Surgery, thread lifts have become one of our most requested services due to their ability to restore facial contours and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without the need for invasive surgery. These threads work by not only physically lifting the skin but also stimulating collagen production, which helps improve skin elasticity and volume lost with aging. In addition to facial rejuvenation, thread lifts can be used on other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, to tighten sagging skin. While the results are temporary, lasting effects typically range from 6 months to a year, depending on factors such as lifestyle and individual skin characteristics. If you're interested in exploring more about thread lifts and how they compare to other treatments, check out our facelift options for a more in-depth look at both surgical and non-surgical solutions.

After a facelift, the journey to your desired results doesn't end in the operating room. In fact, it's just the beginning. Post-operative care plays a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth and successful recovery process, as well as optimizing your results. One crucial aspect of this care that you can easily do from the comfort of your home is regular facelift massages. In this blog, we'll delve into the benefits of performing gentle massages after facelifts and explore how they can help the healing process. Then, we’ll explain how to massage your face after a facelift so you can achieve the best possible results. Call Us: 888-674-3001 Rhytidectomy Recovery: the Facelift Healing Process Rhytidectomy, the medical term for a facelift, is a transformative procedure that requires dedicated post-operative care. Recovery after facelift surgery typically spans several weeks, with most patients returning to normal activities within two to three weeks, though complete healing may take months. During rhytidectomy recovery, patients experience: Initial swelling and bruising that peaks around days 3-4 Gradual reduction in discomfort over the first week Visible improvement in appearance by week 2-3 Continued refinement of results over 3-6 months Understanding this timeline helps set realistic expectations for your recovery journey. While each patient's experience varies, proper post-operative care—including facial massage—can significantly enhance your healing process and final results. Benefits of a Facelift Massage Facelifts can be transformative, but did you know that post-operative care can determine the longevity and quality of results? While you should always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions, regular facelift massages can help with recovery. 1. Reduction of Swelling Post-surgical swelling is to be expected, but it doesn’t have to be prolonged. By incorporating dedicated facial massages after a facelift, you can help aid the body's natural ability to drain excess fluid and minimize discomfort. 2. Enhancing Blood Circulation The skin, like all organs, thrives on proper blood circulation. Post-operative massaging fosters increased blood flow, ensuring oxygen and essential nutrients revitalize the surgical site. The enhanced circulation not only speeds up the healing process but also brings a luminous, youthful glow to your skin. 3. Preventing the Formation of Lumps and Scars As the body heals, there might be instances of minor tissue irregularities or lumps forming underneath the skin. Knowing how to get rid of lumps after a facelift is crucial to the healing process, as well as your overall results. Through gentle massaging, these lumps can be broken down and ensure your skin remains smooth and supple. 4. Boosting Lymphatic Drainage Lymphatic drainage is the unsung hero of post-surgical recovery. An effective lymphatic drainage massage after a facelift gently guides toxins away from the skin, significantly reducing the chance of swelling and fostering a healthier complexion. 5. Prolonging and Enhancing the Results of the Facelift It’s not just about the immediate aftermath. A consistent face lift facial massage routine keeps the skin agile and responsive, ensuring the results of your facelift stand the test of time. Understanding Lymphatic Drainage After Facelift Lymphatic drainage plays a crucial role in facelift recovery. This natural process helps remove excess fluid, toxins, and waste products from tissues through the lymphatic system. After a facelift, this system can become temporarily compromised due to surgical trauma, leading to fluid buildup and swelling. How Lymphatic Drainage Works The lymphatic system consists of vessels and nodes transporting lymph fluid throughout the body. Unlike blood circulation, it doesn't have a pump (like the heart) and relies on muscle movements and manual stimulation to keep fluid moving. After facelift surgery, specific lymphatic massage techniques can: Redirect accumulated fluid away from surgical sites Reduce pressure on healing tissues Accelerate the removal of inflammatory byproducts Minimize post-operative swelling and discomfort Addressing Swollen Lymph Nodes After Facelift It's not uncommon to experience swollen lymph nodes after a facelift procedure. These small, bean-shaped structures are part of your immune system and can become enlarged when your body is healing from surgery. Why Lymph Nodes Swell After Facelift Surgery: Surgical trauma triggers an immune response The lymphatic system works overtime to clear surgical byproducts Temporary inflammation occurs as part of normal healing Managing Swollen Lymph Nodes: Gentle lymphatic massage techniques (as approved by your surgeon) Proper hydration to support lymphatic flow Cool compresses to reduce inflammation Rest and allowing time for natural resolution If swollen lymph nodes are painful, warm to the touch, or persist beyond what your surgeon indicates is normal, contact your healthcare provider immediately, as this could indicate an infection. How to Perform Lymphatic Massage After Facelift Lymphatic massage after facelift surgery requires a gentler touch than regular massage. This specialized technique helps stimulate the lymphatic system to reduce swelling and promote healing. Before beginning any massage regimen, always consult with your surgeon for approval. Lymphatic Massage Technique Begin at the Collarbone: Using very light, gentle pressure (imagine the weight of a coin), start at your collarbone area. Make small, circular motions to activate the main lymphatic ducts. Work Upward: Moving from the neck to the jaw, use gentle, sweeping motions toward your ears. This encourages fluid to flow toward lymph nodes near your ears. Focus on Drainage Pathways: Pay special attention to the natural drainage pathways: From the center of your face outward toward your ears From under your chin down the sides of your neck From your forehead down toward your ears Light Touch is Key: Remember that lymphatic vessels are just beneath the skin. Pressing too hard can collapse these vessels and impede drainage. The pressure should be so light that it barely moves the skin. Rhythm and Repetition: Perform each movement 5-10 times in a rhythmic pattern before moving to the next area. A dedicated lymphatic massage session after a facelift should last 5-10 minutes and, once approved by your surgeon, be performed 2-3 times daily. Face Lift Massage Before and After How to Properly Massage After Your Facelift You should always consult with your surgeon before starting any post-operative massage routine, as they may have specific instructions tailored to your...

### How Long Does a Nose Rhinoplasty Last?

> If you get a rhinoplasty, how long will it last? This article explores how long nose rhinoplasty results last and the factors that influence them.

- Categories: Nose Procedures

When it comes to transformative surgeries, few can compete with the impact of a nose rhinoplasty—or, as most people call it, a “nose job. ” Whether it’s about refining the shape of your nose, improving facial balance, or fixing breathing issues, rhinoplasty is a popular choice for many reasons. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we specialize in creating natural results that stand the test of time. Let’s dive into the big question: how long does a nose rhinoplasty last? How Long Does a Nose Rhinoplasty Last? Here’s the good news—when done well, rhinoplasty results are designed to last a lifetime. Your experience might vary depending on key factors, like the technique used, skin type, and how you care for yourself afterward. A well-performed rhinoplasty doesn’t just reshape your nose; it works harmoniously with your natural features, blending seamlessly into your face. Think of it like sculpting a masterpiece—it’s meant to be admired for decades. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure your results look fabulous and last as long as possible. While the initial swelling subsides within a few weeks, the final shape of your nose will fully settle over about a year. After that, the changes are permanent. Of course, no one can stop the natural aging process (we wish! ), but even then, your new nose will age gracefully alongside the rest of you. What Factors Influence How Long Rhinoplasty Results Last? The longevity of rhinoplasty results depends on various factors that shape your outcome over time. Think of rhinoplasty like building a house—its durability relies on a solid foundation, expert craftsmanship, and ongoing maintenance. Here are the key elements that influence how long your results will last: 1. Surgical Technique Your surgeon’s skill is the cornerstone of lasting rhinoplasty results. The techniques they use, their precision, and their experience directly impact the durability and appearance of your nose. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our surgeons specialize in advanced methods like endoscopic rhinoplasty. This minimally invasive approach reduces trauma to surrounding tissues and scarring, ensuring a smoother recovery while creating a robust, long-lasting structure. Whether you’re addressing cosmetic or functional concerns, the correct surgical technique can make all the difference in your results’ longevity. 2. Skin Thickness and Healing Your skin significantly affects how your nose heals and adapts after surgery. Patients with thicker skin might notice a more extended adjustment period as their skin conforms to the new nasal framework. This thickness can also affect how visible the surgical changes are, especially when refining small details. Conversely, patients with thinner skin may see results quicker but have less coverage over nasal structures. Our surgeons carefully assess your skin type and healing potential during your consultation to set realistic expectations and optimize your outcome. 3. Lifestyle Choices Your daily habits and lifestyle choices can impact how well your rhinoplasty results hold up over time. For example, smoking slows down the healing process and can compromise your skin’s elasticity, while excessive sun exposure can lead to premature aging and changes in skin texture. Protecting your nose with sunscreen and adopting healthy practices like a balanced diet and regular hydration can help your results stay pristine. Following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions, especially during the critical recovery phase, is key to supporting long-term success. 4. Natural Aging Even though rhinoplasty creates permanent structural changes, the natural aging process will still affect your nose over time. As we age, skin loses elasticity, and the cartilage that supports your nose may slightly weaken or shift. While these changes are usually subtle, they’re an unavoidable part of life. However, the improvements from rhinoplasty—like a refined nasal tip or straighter bridge—will remain intact, continuing to complement your overall facial harmony for decades. Why Choose Wave Plastic Surgery for Rhinoplasty? You want to be in the best hands possible when it comes to something as important as your face. Here’s why patients across the nation choose Wave Plastic Surgery: Expertise in Complex Procedures From Asian rhinoplasty to complex revisions, our surgeons excel at tackling cases that require a delicate touch. Whether you want to refine your nose’s appearance or address functional concerns, we’ve got you covered. Cutting-Edge Technology From Asian rhinoplasty to complex revisions, our surgeons excel at tackling cases that require a delicate touch. Whether you want to refine your nose’s appearance or address functional concerns, we’ve got you covered. Tailored To You Your nose isn’t like anyone else’s—so why should your rhinoplasty be? At Wave Plastic Surgery, we take the time to understand your goals and create a plan that’s completely customized to your needs. How to Maintain Your Rhinoplasty Results Your rhinoplasty results are designed to last, but a little care and attention can help keep them looking their best for years. Think of it like maintaining a new car—regular care and a few smart habits can make all the difference. Here’s what you can do: 1. Stick to Your Aftercare Plan Your surgeon will provide a detailed aftercare plan to guide you through the healing process, and following it closely is essential for optimal results. This includes avoiding strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or anything that might put unnecessary pressure on your nose. Even minor bumps can interfere with the healing process, so it’s best to be cautious during those critical first few weeks. Think of it as giving your nose a “vacation” to fully recover before diving back into your normal routine. 2. Protect Your Skin Did you know that sun exposure can weaken the skin and alter its texture, even after rhinoplasty? Protecting your skin is especially important during the early healing stages when your nose is most sensitive. Sunscreen with a high SPF is your best ally, and pairing it with a wide-brimmed hat can provide extra coverage. Plus, avoiding sun damage has the bonus of keeping your whole face youthful and radiant. 3. Be Mindful of Injury If you enjoy sports, outdoor adventures, or high-energy activities, taking precautions to protect your nose is crucial. Contact sports...

### Is Liposuction Good For Belly Fat Removal?

- Categories: Body

For many people in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Francisco, stubborn belly fat is one of the most frustrating obstacles to achieving their ideal body shape. Even with strict diets and consistent exercise, this area often resists change. That’s where liposuction for belly fat comes in. Whether you’re near the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame, enjoying coastal living in Newport Beach, or taking a stroll through Golden Gate Park, liposuction is designed to help contour your abdomen and target those trouble spots that won’t budge. Rising interest in belly fat removal surgery reflects a growing desire for effective, lasting solutions that go beyond traditional weight loss methods. Liposuction not only removes excess fat but also enhances body proportions, boosting confidence and helping you feel your best. Whether you’re looking to refine your silhouette or address persistent fat deposits, this guide will explore how liposuction works and why it might be the solution you’ve been searching for—especially if diet and exercise have fallen short. What is Liposuction? Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms. Using a specialized suction device, surgeons target and extract fat deposits, leaving the area smoother and more contoured. For those struggling with stubborn belly fat, a lipo procedure can provide dramatic, long-lasting results that dieting and exercise often can’t achieve. Unlike non-surgical fat reduction methods, such as CoolSculpting, liposuction directly removes fat cells, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking immediate and noticeable results. However, belly fat removal surgery is not a weight-loss solution—it’s a body-shaping procedure. Candidates should already be close to their ideal weight and in good overall health. For patients in Los Angeles or San Francisco’s Bay Area, this procedure offers a localized solution to achieve lasting results. Clinics like Wave Plastic Surgery, with locations throughout Southern California, provide advanced techniques to ensure precision and patient satisfaction. Is Liposuction Effective for Belly Fat? Liposuction is one of the most effective solutions when it comes to targeting stubborn belly fat. Unlike dieting and exercise, which shrink fat cells but don’t remove them, liposuction permanently eliminates fat cells from the treated area. This makes it particularly beneficial for individuals in areas like Santa Monica or Beverly Hills who want to refine their shape without relying on less effective methods. It’s important to understand that liposuction for belly fat is not a weight-loss solution. Instead, it’s a body-contouring procedure ideal for healthy individuals close to their target weight but struggling with localized fat deposits in the stomach area. Candidates with good skin elasticity achieve smoother,more natural results. So, is liposuction good to get rid of belly fat? Absolutely—but it’s most effective when paired with a healthy lifestyle. Patients from Los Angeles to San Francisco appreciate how this procedure enhances their silhouette and complements their personal fitness efforts. The Liposuction Procedure Wave Plastic Surgery offers stomach liposuction at its convenient locations in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Francisco. The process begins with a thorough pre-surgery consultation, where your surgeon evaluates your health, discusses your goals, and helps set realistic expectations for the results. On the day of the procedure, anesthesia ensures comfort. A thin tube called a cannula is inserted through small incisions to break up and suction out fat deposits. Advanced techniques, such as tumescent liposuction, are used to enhance precision and reduce recovery time. Most patients experience some swelling and bruising, but these effects diminish within weeks. Whether you’re recovering at home near Venice Beach or enjoying downtime in San Francisco’s Marina District, most people return to light activities within a week. Costs of Belly Fat Removal Surgery The cost of belly fat removal surgery can vary depending on factors like the surgeon’s expertise and location. In Los Angeles, procedures near Beverly Hills may have different price ranges compared to those in San Francisco or Newport Beach. On average, patients can expect to pay between $3,000 to $8,000 for abdominal liposuction. Wave Plastic Surgery offers financing options to make this transformative procedure accessible. Whether you’re considering liposuction near Huntington Beach or in the heart of San Francisco, our team works with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget. Cost of Liposuction Benefits of Liposuction for Belly Fat Liposuction provides numerous benefits for patients in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Francisco. One key advantage is its ability to target and remove fat from specific areas, ensuring precise and noticeable results. For example, patients in Hollywood often feel more confident attending events after achieving a more sculpted appearance, while those near Golden Gate Park or Laguna Beach appreciate the quick results that allow them to fully enjoy their active lifestyles. Beyond physical improvements, fat removal surgery frequently leads to improved self-confidence and motivation to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Risks and Considerations While liposuction for belly fat is generally safe, it’s essential to be aware of potential risks. Common side effects include bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness, which usually subside within weeks. For patients in Downtown LA or Costa Mesa, choosing a board-certified surgeon at Wave Plastic Surgery ensures these risks are minimized. Patients often ask, “Is liposuction safe for belly fat? ” The answer depends on the surgeon’s expertise and your overall health.

Schedule a consultation with Wave Plastic Surgery today! Get A Consultation How to Get Rid of Belly Fat The new year is here, and it’s the perfect time to focus on your health and confidence. Shedding stubborn belly fat is a common resolution, symbolizing a fresh start and renewed energy. Whether you’re aiming for a leaner physique or improved well-being, your journey starts with the right strategies. Belly fat isn’t just a cosmetic concern—it’s tied to serious health risks, particularly visceral fat, which surrounds internal organs. Both visceral and subcutaneous fat can be stubborn, but with the right approach, you can overcome these challenges and achieve your goals. This guide offers actionable tips, lifestyle changes, and advanced solutions to help you tackle belly fat head-on. What Causes Belly Fat? Belly fat comes in two main types:Subcutaneous Fat: The pinch-able fat just beneath the skin that affects your appearance. Visceral Fat: The deeper fat stored around internal organs, associated with risks like heart disease and diabetes. Several factors contribute to belly fat accumulation:Unhealthy Diet: Refined carbs and sugary drinks encourage fat storage, particularly in the abdomen. Lack of Exercise: A sedentary lifestyle leads to calorie surplus and fat buildup. Stress: Chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, promoting abdominal fat storage. Hormonal Imbalances: Changes like menopause can redistribute fat to the midsection. Genetics: Your body’s natural fat storage patterns also play a role. To reduce belly fat effectively, it’s important to understand the types of fat your body stores and how they function. Read More Brown Fat vs. White Fat: Understanding the Difference Not all fat is created equal, and knowing the difference can help you target belly fat more effectively. Brown FatOften called the “good fat,” brown fat burns calories to produce heat and maintain body temperature. Although more common in infants, adults retain small amounts of this metabolically active fat. Stimulating brown fat through cold exposure, exercise, and certain dietary choices may support fat loss. White FatWhite fat, or “storage fat,” includes both subcutaneous and visceral fat. While it serves as an energy reserve, excess white fat—especially visceral fat—is linked to health risks like heart disease and diabetes. Why It MattersBoosting brown fat activity while reducing white fat is key to fat loss. Habits like regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and exposure to cooler temperatures can help you activate brown fat and enhance your fat-reduction strategy. Lifestyle Adjustments for Long-Term SuccessWith an understanding of fat types, you can now focus on making lifestyle changes that specifically target white fat and activate brown fat. These adjustments can set you on the path to achieving and maintaining your belly fat reduction goals. Lifestyle Changes to Reduce Belly and Visceral Fat Dietary AdjustmentsWhat you eat plays a pivotal role in fat loss. To target belly fat effectively:Include Lean Proteins, Fiber, and Healthy Fats: Foods like chicken, fish, leafy greens, and avocados promote satiety and improve metabolism. Avoid Refined Carbs and Sugary Drinks: Cut back on white bread, soda, and processed snacks that spike blood sugar and encourage fat storage. Incorporate Fat-Burning Foods: Green tea, spicy foods, and omega-3-rich fish can boost metabolism. Exercise RoutinePhysical activity is essential for burning calories and reducing fat:Cardio Workouts: Running, swimming, and cycling increase your heart rate and target visceral fat. Strength Training: Exercises like squats, lunges, and weightlifting build muscle, boosting metabolism for long-term fat loss. Stress and Sleep ManagementStress and sleep often get overlooked, but they’re crucial for reducing belly fat:Lower Cortisol Levels: Practice mindfulness or yoga to manage stress and reduce fat storage. Quality Sleep: Aim for 7–9 hours nightly to regulate hormones and prevent fat buildup. Need additional guidance to jumpstart your journey?

### Alternatives to Botox: Exploring The Latest Trends

> Uncover the truth about Botox alternatives like flaxseed gel and social media trends. Learn what actually works for smoother, youthful skin.

Botox® has become a cornerstone in cosmetic treatments, offering an effective way to smooth wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin. However, the cost, temporary effects, and hesitancy toward injections have led many to search for alternatives. From trending social media remedies like flaxseed to innovative skincare devices, the options are plentiful—but do they deliver results? In this article, we’ll explore the most popular Botox® alternatives, debunk myths, and the efficacy of the latest trends with insights from Dr. Peter Lee, a leading plastic surgeon at Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center. Looking for Botox® injections near Los Angeles, Orange County, or San Francisco? Contact our aesthetic experts at Wave today to schedule your consultation. Have Questions? Call 888-674-3001 to speak to our experts now Understanding Botox®: What Sets It Apart Botox® is a neuromodulator that temporarily weakens muscle contractions, smoothing dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive movements such as smiling or frowning. It offers reliable and predictable results with minimal downtime. However, the cumulative cost of repeat treatments and the rise of viral skincare alternatives have prompted people to seek other options. Wave Plastic Surgery’s Dr. Peter Lee explains what sets it apart below. “Botox® and its related family of neuromodulators really is in a class by itself in terms of safety, efficacy, and even cost when compared to the alternative of aesthetic surgery... the very proliferation of ‘Botox® alternatives’ on social media is a vivid testament to this fact. ” Dr. Peter Lee, Wave Plastic Surgery Tweet At-Home Botox® Alternatives: Do They Work? With the rise of social media and DIY beauty trends, at-home treatments promising Botox®-like results have captured widespread attention. From natural remedies to advanced skincare devices, these options often claim to reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin without injections. But how effective are they really? Let’s break down some of the most popular at-home Botox® alternatives and evaluate their potential benefits and limitations. 1. Flaxseed Gel: A Social Media Favorite Flaxseed gel, a natural mask made from nutrient-rich flaxseeds, has become a viral sensation on platforms like TikTok, with many touting it as a wrinkle-reducing, skin-smoothing solution. Flaxseed is high in omega-3 fatty acids and is widely used as a dietary supplement to promote digestive health and lower cholesterol. Studies even suggest that sustained consumption of flaxseed may reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels and improve heart health. But does flaxseed gel live up to its hype as a Botox® alternative? According to our experts: “To date, there is no evidence that either topical application or injection of flaxseed oil in the skin affects wrinkles. Dr. Peter Lee, Wave Plastic Surgery Tweet Verdict: Flaxseed gel may temporarily hydrate and smooth the skin’s surface, providing a quick glow, but it cannot replicate Botox®’s ability to relax facial muscles and reduce dynamic wrinkles. While it’s a great addition to a healthy lifestyle, it’s not a scientifically backed substitute for Botox®. 2. Microcurrent Devices: Energizing the Skin Microcurrent devices have gained attention as a non-invasive skincare option, delivering low-level electrical currents to the skin. These currents stimulate cell ATP production, boosting collagen and elastin and promoting cellular regeneration. Many claim this process can improve skin tone, firmness, and overall health. But do microcurrent devices offer an effective alternative to Botox®? According to Dr. Peter Lee, not necessarily. “While the clinical efficacy of these microcurrent treatments is currently a topic of spirited debate, two things are clear. First, if cost is a concern, these treatments, while typically less expensive than Botox®, are usually performed with greater frequency than Botox® injections, and the expense can quickly run up. Secondly, their goal is to increase the overall health of the skin, so their mechanism and effect is different from Botox® injections. ” Dr. Peter Lee, Wave Plastic Surgery Tweet Verdict: Microcurrent devices enhance skin health and elasticity, not relaxing facial muscles, which is key to Botox®’s wrinkle-reducing effects. While they can be a great addition to a skincare routine, their frequent sessions and cumulative costs make them less practical as a substitute for Botox®. 3. LED Light Therapy (Red Light Therapy) Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a popular non-invasive skincare treatment that uses low-wavelength light to penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production. It’s frequently praised for improving skin texture, elasticity, and overall health. Some advocates even claim RLT can enhance mood by upregulating beta-endorphins by stimulating specific nerves called c-fibers. But can RLT truly replace Botox®? Here's what the experts have to say. “Most commonly, when it is employed, RLT is not used as a substitute for Botox® injections, but as an adjunct. ” Dr. Peter Lee, Wave Plastic Surgery Tweet RLT works by rejuvenating the skin on a cellular level, boosting collagen and elastin production. However, Botox® addresses a different concern: dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. Since RLT does not relax facial muscles, it cannot smooth these types of wrinkles the way Botox® does. Instead, RLT is best used in tandem with Botox®, helping to improve skin texture and elasticity while Botox® reduces the appearance of dynamic lines. Verdict: RLT is a valuable tool for maintaining healthy, youthful skin, but its effects are mild complement rather than replace Botox®. By combining RLT with Botox®, patients can achieve smoother skin with enhanced radiance and improved skin health. 4. Facial Exercises (Face Yoga) Facial exercises, commonly known as "face yoga," involve targeted facial movements and massage techniques designed to tone facial muscles, potentially improving facial contour and adding volume. These exercises have gained popularity for their promise of natural, non-invasive rejuvenation and the idea that increased muscle tone can contribute to a fuller, more youthful appearance. But does face yoga offer a reliable alternative to Botox®? Here's what Dr. Lee has to say on this topic. “From an analytical perspective, facial yoga is not a substitute for Botox®; it is actually the opposite of Botox®, since practitioners are increasing the movement of the facial muscles underneath the skin. ” Dr. Peter Lee, Wave Plastic Surgery Tweet While facial exercises may modestly improve muscle...

Do your eyes no longer reflect how vibrant and youthful you feel? Upper eyelid surgery, or upper blepharoplasty, offers a transformative solution to restore a refreshed and natural appearance by addressing sagging skin and tired-looking eyes. At Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Francisco, our expert team is prepared to support you through every stage of this life-changing journey, including the recovery process–the key to achieving the best possible results. Ready to reclaim a brighter, more confident look? Schedule your consultation today! Have Questions? Call 888-674-3001 to speak to our experts now What Should You Do Immediately After Upper Eyelid Surgery? After your upper eyelid surgery, adhering to your post-operative care plan is essential to promote healing and minimize discomfort. Below are the key aspects of care during the initial recovery period: 1. Protect Your Eyes It is crucial to protect your eyes immediately after upper blepharoplasty surgery. Wearing dark sunglasses when leaving the facility shields your eyes from bright light, wind, and other environmental irritants that could exacerbate discomfort or swelling. This simple step helps reduce sensitivity and protects the delicate surgical area. 2. Expect Temporary Blurred Vision Blurred vision is a common and temporary side effect of upper eyelid surgery. This is often caused by the ointments applied during the procedure to protect your eyes. While it may initially feel disorienting, this effect typically resolves within 24 hours. Be patient and avoid straining your eyes during this time. 3. Apply Cold Compresses Apply cold compresses or chilled sterile gauze pads to your eyelids to minimize swelling and bruising. Use the compresses for 10–15 minutes every hour during the first 24 hours post-surgery. This practice not only reduces inflammation but also accelerates the healing https://youtu. be/O5MYK5ixaFo? feature=sharedThese post-surgery care instructions can set the foundation for a smooth and successful recovery. Always consult your surgeon for specific concerns or questions during this critical period. Are There Any Rest and Activity Restrictions After Eyelid Surgery? Proper rest and careful activity management are essential during the first few days after upper eyelid surgery. Follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery: 1. Elevate Your Head Keep your head elevated on two or more pillows when resting or sleeping. This positioning helps minimize swelling and promotes fluid drainage, reducing discomfort and aiding healing. Avoid lying flat, as it can increase swelling around the surgical area. 2. Avoid Strenuous Activities Refrain from strenuous activities such as bending over, heavy lifting, or vigorous exercise for at least two weeks after surgery. These activities can increase blood pressure, potentially leading to complications like bleeding or prolonged swelling. Focus on allowing your body to heal without added physical stress. 3. Engage in Gentle Movement Take short, light walks around your home during recovery to maintain good circulation and prevent stiffness. However, avoid any actions that could strain your eyes or cause unnecessary pressure on the surgical area. Gentle movement can help promote overall healing while minimizing risks. https://youtu. be/gNi0o8Z5Scs? feature=sharedThese practices ultimately support your body’s healing process and reduce the likelihood of complications. If you’re considering resuming intense physical activities, it’s always advised to consult your surgeon. How Can You Manage Swelling and Bruising After Upper Eyelid Surgery? Swelling and bruising are common side effects of upper eyelid surgery but usually improve within 1–2 weeks. Following these strategies can help manage these symptoms and promote a smoother recovery: 1. Stay Hydrated Drinking plenty of water is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to support your body’s recovery process. Proper hydration helps reduce inflammation and promotes the elimination of toxins, which can contribute to faster healing and less pronounced swelling. 2. Follow Medication Instructions Take all prescribed medications, including pain relievers and antibiotics, exactly as directed by your surgeon. These medications not only help manage discomfort but also prevent infection. Avoid over-the-counter drugs like aspirin or ibuprofen unless your surgeon has approved them, as they can increase the risk of bleeding and prolong recovery. 3. Monitor Your Progress Keep an eye on the healing process and be vigilant for any signs of complications, such as increased redness, pain, or discharge from the surgical area. If you notice these symptoms or experience anything unusual, promptly contact your surgeon to address potential problems. Related: Does Eyelid Surgery Hurt? How To Care for Your Surgical Site After Upper Eyelid Surgery Proper hygiene and care of the surgical site are essential to prevent complications and infection, supporting a smooth upper eyelid surgery recovery. Here’s what you need to know: 1. Avoid Makeup and Creams Refrain from applying makeup, creams, or lotions near your eyelids for at least two weeks after surgery. These products can irritate the healing skin or introduce bacteria, increasing the risk of infection. Wait for your surgeon’s approval before resuming their use. 2. Practice Gentle Cleansing Clean your face using a soft cloth, but be cautious to avoid direct contact with the surgical site. Until your surgeon provides clearance, keep the area dry and undisturbed to ensure proper healing. The surgical site will maintain hygiene without compromising recovery by gentle cleansing around, but not on. 3. Skip Contact Lenses Avoid wearing contact lenses for at least two weeks after eyelid surgery. Inserting and removing lenses can strain the eyelids unnecessarily, delaying recovery. Glasses are a safe alternative and can help shield your eyes during this sensitive period. What To Expect From Long-Term Healing and Results Healing from upper eyelid surgery is a gradual process that requires patience as your body adjusts and recovers. Here’s what to expect as you transition through the stages of recovery: 1. Returning to Work and Daily Activities Most patients feel ready to return to work and resume their routines within 10–14 days after surgery. However, this timeline can vary based on your job's nature and comfort level. For example, you may need a more extended recovery if your work involves physical activity or extensive eye strain. 2. Final Results Take Time While the initial...

### What Does Microneedling Do to the Skin?

Unlock the Benefits of Microneedling: Transform Your Skin Microneedling has surged in popularity as a compelling dermatological treatment, revered for its effectiveness in rejuvenating aging or damaged skin. This minimally invasive procedure involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body’s natural wound-healing processes to renew skin cells. As a result, the treatment enhances the skin’s overall appearance and promotes collagen and elastin production, the two proteins responsible for the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Whether you aim to reduce fine lines, minimize scars, or improve skin texture, microneedling offers a versatile solution with visible results. In this article, we’ll delve into how microneedling works, explore its numerous benefits, and compare it with other skin rejuvenation treatments, providing a comprehensive understanding of why this might be the perfect skincare solution. What is Microneedling? Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a dermatological procedure that involves puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles to induce a natural healing response. The process begins with a skincare professional applying a numbing cream to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Once the skin is prepared, a device equipped with fine needles—either a manual derma roller or an automated pen—is used to make micro-wounds in the skin. A derma-roller is a handheld roller covered in micro-sized needles manually moving across the skin to create punctures. This method is simple and effective for treating large areas. On the other hand, automated pens, becoming increasingly popular in professional settings, use mechanized action to move the needles more precisely and at variable depths. This precision allows customized treatments tailored to individual skin concerns and areas, particularly around sensitive regions like the eyes and lips. Both devices stimulate the skin’s healing process, producing more collagen and elastin. This helps repair and rejuvenate the skin and ensures that the results improve skin texture and firmness. By initiating these natural processes, microneedling effectively minimizes signs of aging and enhances skin health from within. https://youtu. be/wjWtUOyBE3Q? feature=shared How Does Microneedling Work? Microneedling operates on a simple principle: it uses the body’s healing mechanisms to rejuvenate the skin. The treatment involves using a device equipped with fine, short needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries are superficial and strategically placed, barely penetrating the surface, yet they are effective enough to trigger the skin’s natural healing process. When the skin is punctured, it responds by initiating a repair process that immediately starts producing collagen and elastin—two of the most vital proteins for skin elasticity and firmness. Collagen works to rebuild the skin, filling in fine lines and plumping the skin, thereby reducing wrinkles and scars. Elastin, on the other hand, helps maintain the skin’s natural elasticity, allowing it to stretch and bounce back without sagging. Moreover, the healing process also involves the formation of new capillaries, which improve blood flow to the skin, further enhancing skin health and adding a natural glow. Over the weeks following a microneedling session, as new collagen forms, skin texture becomes more refined, scars are minimized, and the overall appearance is markedly rejuvenated. This regenerative effect makes microneedling a powerful treatment for a variety of skin issues beyond just aging and damage. Client Testimonials Great service! I’ve been year for a year and half.

Shout out to Nurse Vicky and the team of Wave; much recommend it and definitely will come back and introduce to friends. Yixuan-Jessica Wang Previous Next View More Testimonials Benefits of Microneedling Microneedling offers a multitude of benefits that enhance skin health and appearance, making it an appealing option for individuals looking to address various skin concerns without resorting to more invasive procedures. Improved Skin Texture and Tone: One of the immediate benefits observed after microneedling is the enhancement of skin texture and tone. The treatment encourages the turnover of skin cells, leading to smoother, more radiant skin. This cell renewal process helps even out skin texture, reducing the appearance of pores, and giving the skin a softer, more youthful look. Reduction of Scars: Microneedling is particularly effective in reducing the appearance of scars, especially acne scars, which can be deep and difficult to diminish. By stimulating collagen production in and around the scar tissue, microneedling promotes smoother skin texture and reduces scar depth. Over a series of treatments, patients often see significant improvement in the visibility of their scars. Anti-aging Effects: As it boosts collagen production, microneedling has a profound anti-aging effect. It helps fill in fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin appear more plump and youthful. The increased collagen can also firm up skin that has begun to sag due to age, providing a more lifted appearance. Improvement in Hyperpigmentation: Microneedling can also address issues of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, including conditions like melasma and age spots. The process helps to disperse pigment deep in the skin, leading to a more even complexion. Enhanced Product Absorption: Another significant benefit of microneedling is its ability to enhance the absorption of skincare products. The microchannels created by the needles allow topical treatments to penetrate deeper into the skin, increasing their effectiveness. Overall, microneedling is a safe and effective method for improving various skin conditions, with benefits that contribute to a healthier, more confident complexion....

Chemical peels are a cornerstone in cosmetic skincare treatments, celebrated for their effectiveness in rejuvenating the skin and addressing dermatological issues. These treatments, which involve the application of a chemical solution to remove the outer layers of the skin, have gained popularity due to their ability to deliver significant improvements in skin texture and appearance. If you’re considering a chemical peel, one of the primary questions you might have is, “How long do chemical peels last? ” Let's explore the duration of the effects depending on the type of peel and the overall impact these treatments can have on various skin conditions. Whether you’re looking to diminish fine lines, treat hyperpigmentation, or improve the overall health of your skin, understanding the longevity and outcomes of chemical peels will help you make an informed decision about whether this treatment is right for you. What is a Chemical Peel? A chemical peel is a dermatological procedure designed to improve and smooth the skin’s texture by removing its damaged outer layers. This treatment is effective for those seeking to reduce wrinkles, lighten hyperpigmentation, or achieve a more youthful and radiant skin appearance. The process involves applying a chemical solution, such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid, which causes the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off, revealing new, regenerated skin underneath that is typically smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. There are three main types of chemical peels, categorized by the depth of the skin they affect: Light Peels These only affect the skin’s (epidermis) outer layer and offer a gentle exfoliation. They are ideal for minor skin imperfections and require little to no downtime. Medium Peels These reach the middle layers of skin and can target more significant damage like deeper wrinkles and acne scars. Deep Peels The most intensive type, deep peels penetrate deeper dermal layers, providing significant skin overhaul but requiring downtime and careful aftercare. How Chemical Peels Work Chemical peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin that causes controlled damage to its layers, prompting the removal of the surface layers and stimulating the regeneration of new skin cells. This process initiates a cascade of cellular activities, including increased collagen production and reorganization of structural proteins, essential for youthful and healthy skin. The chemical solution breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be shed more effectively. This shedding process accelerates the skin’s natural renewal cycle, bringing fresher, younger cells to the surface faster. The underlying area heals and generates new tissue as damaged skin peels away. This results in a complexion that is not only smoother and more even but also firmer, due to the collagen remodeling that helps to tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Types of Chemical Peels and Their Durations Chemical peels are categorized into three types based on the depth of the skin they penetrate, each having different durations and recommended frequencies for optimal results. Light Peels: Light or superficial peels, such as those using alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), gently exfoliate only the outermost layer of the skin. The effects of light peels are subtle at first, with optimal results appearing after multiple treatments. Patients typically undergo light peels every four to six weeks to maintain their skin’s radiance and smooth texture. These peels are ideal for busy individuals seeking minimal downtime and a quick refresh for their skin’s appearance. Medium Peels: Utilizing trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or similar chemicals, medium peels reach the middle layers of the skin, causing it to peel off and reveal more significant improvements in skin texture and tone. The results of a medium peel can last from six months to a year, depending on the individual’s skin type and care routine. Generally, medium peels may be performed every six to twelve months, allowing the skin sufficient time to recover and regenerate completely. Deep Peels: The most intensive type of chemical peel, deep peels penetrate deeply into the dermal layer and offer dramatic results that can last several years. Phenol is commonly used for these peels, effectively reducing deeper wrinkles, scars, and precancerous skin patches. Due to the significant peeling and lengthy healing process, deep peels often require around two weeks of downtime, with complete healing taking up to two months. The profound effects and extended recovery period mean that deep peels are usually a once-in-a-lifetime treatment for most patients, rather than a procedure to be repeated. Each type of peel requires different care post-treatment, and the longevity of the results can vary based on individual skin type, lifestyle, and adherence to follow-up care. Comparison With Other Treatments Chemical peels stand out among various skin rejuvenation treatments for their versatility and depth of treatment. Chemical Peels vs. Microdermabrasion Unlike microdermabrasion, which physically exfoliates the skin’s surface using fine particles, chemical peels offer a deeper exfoliation with chemical solutions that can be adjusted in strength to target deeper layers of the skin. This makes chemical peels more effective for treating significant skin imperfections like deeper wrinkles and scars. Chemical Peel vs. Laser Treatments Laser treatments use light energy to target skin issues, which can be very effective but often at a higher cost and with longer recovery times. Chemical peels are less invasive and can be more cost-effective while still significantly improving skin texture and tone. Chemical Peel vs. Microneedling While microneedling punctures the skin to induce collagen production and regeneration, chemical peels stimulate skin renewal through chemical exfoliation. This often results in quicker visible improvements, particularly for skin brightness and uniformity in texture. Overall, chemical peels offer a customizable, less invasive, and often more affordable option than other technologically advanced procedures, making them a preferred choice for those seeking effective skin rejuvenation.

### What is a Mini Facelift?

Worldwide, many individuals are affected by their appearance, particularly when it comes to the face. As we age, the skin might become wrinkled or sag. Thankfully for the existence of cosmetic procedures are highly helping people regain their confidence and fresh look. According to the 2018 American Society of Plastic Surgeons annual report, 15. 9 million cosmetic minimally-invasive procedures were performed in the United States. Precisely, techniques like mini facelifts are among these life-changing surgeries helping individuals stay at their best. A facelift is helpful for anti-aging because it repositions the skin and removes excess facial fats. It remains one of the most sought-after surgical procedures for anti-aging and has been known to provide viable results. However, patients need to have realistic expectations. Generally, patients experience a swift and full recovery after a facelift, but it's essential to acknowledge the associated risk factors. Consulting with a professional who can address potential concerns and provide answers regarding the process is crucial before proceeding with the procedure. But what is a mini facelift? And what type of candidate for this surgery can benefit the most? Let’s explore these common questions and more below. What is a Mini Facelift? Mini Facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the face. Surgeons can achieve a younger look for their patients by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying muscles. This procedure can be considered an anti-aging surgery that focuses on sagging skin. It is often combined with other facial procedures, such as a brow lift or eyelid surgery. When combined with other procedures, better results may be achieved. This minimal face-lift procedure is a less invasive choice than the traditional one and can provide just as dramatic results. The Difference Between a Facelift and a Mini Facelift Facelifts and Mini Facelifts are cosmetic surgical procedures that aim to improve the appearance of the face. A younger look is achieved by tightening and lifting the skin on the face. The main difference between a facelift and a mini facelift is the incision size and placement. A facelift is a more comprehensive procedure that involves making incisions in the hairline and around the ear, lifting the skin, and removing excess fat and skin. Comparatively, a Mini Facelift uses smaller incisions than a traditional facelift and endoscopic techniques in that incisions are placed in strategic locations around the ear where they can be easily hidden. This leads to less scarring and a quicker recovery time. Mini Facelifts also tend to be less invasive than traditional facelifts, and they can achieve similar results. However, Mini Facelifts are not suitable for everyone, and your surgeon will be able to advise you on whether a mini face-lift or a traditional Facelift is right for you. Who are the Best Candidates for a Mini Facelift Procedure? The best candidates for a mini Facelift procedure are individuals worried about their sagging and aging facial skin. Typically, this surgery is viable for younger individuals since their skin has some elasticity. Also, it is suitable for the following: Aging men and women in their 40s upwards If you have wrinkles on your face Skin laxity along your jawbone Deep nasolabial folds Excess skin around your jawline What is the procedure for Mini Facelift like? While the numerous benefits of a mini facelift are evident, you might still be interested in learning more about the procedure itself. So, if you're still wondering, “What is a mini facelift procedure like? ” rest assured the process is relatively painless and safe, ensuring a positive experience. The procedure typically involves making small incisions around the hairline and ear. Through these mini facelift incisions, the surgeon will tighten the underlying muscles and remove excess skin. The surgeon will first administer local anesthesia or intravenous sedation to numb the area during the procedure. Next, the surgeon will make small incisions near the hairline, ear, or under the chin. Then, they will lift the skin and underlying tissues before trimming away any excess skin. Finally, the incisions will be closed with stitches. The entire procedure typically takes about two hours to complete. Typically, most people can return to their normal activities within a week. Can Mini Facelifts Be Done Under IV Sedation? Yes, mini facelifts can be done under IV sedation instead of general anesthesia. Many patients prefer this option because it’s less invasive, allows faster recovery, and avoids the risks associated with general anesthesia. While there is a great deal of interest in facial rejuvenation and facelifting in social media, one important aspect of the surgery that is frequently overlooked is the type of anesthesia administered during the procedure. In reality, one of the determining factors for some patients to undergo a “mini-facelift” instead of a full facelift surgery is their desire to have the procedure performed under intravenous sedation instead of general anesthesia. A mini-facelift can be defined as a procedure that uses shortened access incisions to access the soft tissues of the face for facial rejuvenation. However, the development of endoscopic surgical tools we use in our practice has allowed surgeons to seamlessly access the deeper soft tissues of the face, with excellent visualization and mobilization, despite the more limited incisions employed in a mini facelift. For such cases, anesthesia becomes a very important component of the intraoperative management of patients during these procedures. First and foremost, anesthesia’s role is to prevent the patient from experiencing any pain or discomfort during the procedure itself. Benefits of IV Sedation for Mini Facelifts IV sedation allows patients to be completely unconscious during the procedure, preventing pain and discomfort while also creating an amnestic effect—meaning patients have no memory of the surgery itself. It also facilitates a quick induction period, enabling patients to fall asleep within a minute of administration, and a rapid recovery, allowing for faster discharge from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Another important role of anesthesia during a mini facelift is to help manage intraoperative blood pressure. Keeping blood pressure low during the procedure...

Each of these remedies will promote new collagen growth, improve your complexion, tighten and firm your skin, and give you a younger-looking glow. Let’s get started with this comprehensive skin texture guide. Call 888-674-3001 The Best Skincare Routines for Textured Skin There are a number of great skincare products and home remedies you can use to improve your skin texture. Whether you want to try a do-it-yourself treatment or incorporate new top-of-the-line products that improve skin texture, these solutions get great results. 1. Add Vitamin C to Your Skincare Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that defends your skin from environmental damage. It can also repair your skin by reducing scarring, pigmentation, and age spots. There are tons of great skin serums that include vitamin C, and you can also try this DIY orange peel face mask. Incorporating more vitamin C into your skincare routine will keep your skin looking bright and fresh. 2. Wear More SPF The importance of sun protection cannot be overstated when it comes to your skin health and texture. Ideally, you should wear a strong SPF sunblock every day. If you don’t want to add another step to your skincare routine, there are a number of great SPF-infused moisturizers and foundations you can try. Wearing SPF every day will not only protect your skin from sun damage, but will also reduce unevenness and redness, and prevent wrinkles. 3. Use an Exfoliating Cleanser Take your daily face wash up a notch by using a gentle exfoliating cleanser. The exfoliating ingredients will remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface and rejuvenate your skin. There are several natural exfoliators that you probably already have in your pantry, including:HoneyCoffee groundsOatmealSea saltLemon juiceYou can whip up your own natural exfoliating recipe, or try a new exfoliating cleanser. You can also use an at-home microdermabrasion device to slough off old and dead cells and shrink the pore size on your face. For the rest of your body, try exfoliating with a dry brush, loofa, or pumice stone. Regularly exfoliating your whole body will increase blood flow and improve circulation, which will improve the appearance of your skin. 4. Never Forget to Moisturize Daily cleansing and exfoliating your skin is vital, but it also increases your skin’s need for hydration. Make sure you are using a high-quality moisturizer with antioxidant-rich botanical ingredients to hydrate, soothe, and even out your skin. Oil-based products, like skin serums, are a great choice for moisturizing because they increase your skin’s sebum production. Sebum is a crucial player when it comes to having smooth and supple face skin texture. Add a serum to your nighttime skincare routine so you can leave it on overnight and wake up to a fresh face. Don’t forget to moisturize the rest of your body, too. Treat yourself to a luxurious lotion or body butter. Moisturizing your entire body will improve bad skin texture and make a great addition to your self-care routine. Try applying moisturizer immediately after your bath or shower. The steam from the hot water opens up your pores, so they can absorb more moisture from your products. 5. Use Retinol to Reduce Fine Lines If fine lines and wrinkles are the culprits behind your skin texture troubles, consider adding a nightly retinoid, such as retinol, to your skincare routine. Retinoids, a group of vitamin A derivatives, work by stimulating collagen production and accelerating cell turnover, making them highly effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol is a widely available over-the-counter option, while stronger retinoid products are available by prescription. Retinol products can also come in creams, lotions, and even pills. However, it is a potent ingredient that takes some getting used to, so start by using it in small amounts. There are great gentle retinol products designed for sensitive skin, so that’s a great place to start if you’ve never used retinol before. Retinol can also make your skin photosensitive, which makes it more likely to get sunburned. Only use a retinol product at night and be sure to limit sun exposure and apply sunscreen in the morning. Apply the retinoid product to dry skin and then layer on your moisturizer. Do not use a retinol product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Skin Texture and Diet Did you know that what you eat plays a hugely important role in the overall health of your skin? You can improve skin texture by following these diet tips. 1. Drink More Water We all know the importance of drinking water, but it still needs to be said again. Dehydration can lead to all sorts of skin texture problems, including dry, tight, and flaky skin. Drinking plenty of water will boost your skin’s elasticity, which keeps it looking fresh and healthy. Upping your water intake will also make it easier for your body to flush out toxins, which helps prevent acne and gives your skin a radiant glow. 2. Stay Away From Junk Food Processed junk food will only harm your skin. It leads to inflammation that can clog your pores and cause problems...

### Should I see an oculoplastic or plastic surgeon for blepharoplasty?

> Discover whether an oculoplastic or plastic surgeon is best for your blepharoplasty. Learn about their expertise, training, and how to choose the right specialist for optimal results.

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide. This surgery is sought after by individuals looking to rejuvenate their appearance by removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Whether for aesthetic enhancement or to improve vision obstructed by drooping eyelids, blepharoplasty can make a significant difference in how people look and feel. However, achieving the best possible results requires more than just opting for surgery—it also means choosing the right surgeon. With the delicate nature of the eye area, selecting a surgeon with the appropriate expertise is crucial. This brings us to a common question: Should you choose an oculoplastic surgeon or a plastic surgeon for your blepharoplasty? Both types of surgeons offer distinct skills and training, and understanding their differences can help you make an informed choice for your unique needs and goals. We’ll explore the roles of oculoplastic and plastic surgeons, the key factors to consider, and what you need to know to make the best decision for your eyelid surgery. Call 888-674-3001 Understanding Blepharoplasty Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure designed to enhance the appearance and function of the eyelids. By removing excess skin, fat, and muscle, blepharoplasty can rejuvenate tired or drooping eyes, making patients appear more rested and youthful. While many people pursue this surgery for aesthetic reasons, others seek it for practical benefits—such as improving vision that may be obstructed by sagging upper eyelid skin. There are several reasons why patients may consider blepharoplasty. Some individuals want to address signs of aging around the eyes, such as puffiness, dark circles, or drooping lids that make them look older than they feel. Others may experience functional issues where excess skin on the upper eyelid obstructs their field of vision, leading to difficulties with daily activities and an increased sense of fatigue. Additionally, lower eyelid blepharoplasty can address issues like under-eye bags and wrinkles, contributing to a smoother, more refreshed appearance. The outcomes of blepharoplasty are typically both aesthetic and functional. Patients often notice a brighter, more alert expression and find it easier to see without obstruction from drooping eyelids. The benefits of the procedure can last for many years, and patients often feel a renewed sense of confidence and comfort in their appearance. Ultimately, blepharoplasty offers a way to enhance both vision and self-image, making it a highly sought-after solution for individuals seeking lasting improvements to their eye area. Blepharoplasty Procedure What is an Oculoplastic Surgeon? An oculoplastic surgeon is a specialized physician who focuses on reconstructive and cosmetic procedures involving the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit (eye socket), and surrounding facial areas. With an in-depth understanding of both functional and aesthetic aspects of the eyes and their supporting structures, oculoplastic surgeons are uniquely qualified to perform surgeries that enhance the appearance and function of this delicate area. Their specialized training emphasizes not only cosmetic improvements but also the preservation of eye health and vision, making them highly adept in complex procedures around the eyes. The path to becoming an oculoplastic surgeon is extensive and rigorous. After completing medical school, these professionals undergo a residency in ophthalmology, giving them a deep understanding of eye anatomy, function, and diseases. Following their ophthalmology residency, they continue with a fellowship in oculoplastic surgery, which includes extensive hands-on training in procedures related to the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbital structures. This additional training equips oculoplastic surgeons with advanced skills in managing both cosmetic and reconstructive issues while ensuring the safety and health of the eye. Oculoplastic surgeons specialize in procedures that address the eyelids, orbit, and surrounding tissues. Their areas of expertise include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), ptosis repair (correcting drooping eyelids), treatment for tear duct obstructions, and orbital surgeries for trauma or tumors. They are also skilled in addressing issues like eyelid malposition, skin cancer removal and reconstruction around the eye, and aesthetic enhancements for a more youthful appearance. With their combined knowledge of ophthalmology and plastic surgery principles, oculoplastic surgeons are well-equipped to handle the delicate and complex needs of eyelid and periocular surgeries. Their background ensures that patients receive the highest level of care for both aesthetic results and eye health, making them a preferred choice for many individuals considering eyelid surgery. What is a Plastic Surgeon? A plastic surgeon is a medical professional specializing in procedures that reshape or reconstruct various parts of the body, including the face, breasts, body, and extremities. Plastic surgery encompasses both reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries, aiming to restore functionality or improve appearance. While plastic surgeons can work on almost any part of the body, many specialize in facial surgeries, which includes procedures like facelifts, rhinoplasty, and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). The scope of a plastic surgeon’s practice is broad, combining aesthetic considerations with functional restoration. The training path for a plastic surgeon is extensive. After completing medical school, aspiring plastic surgeons must undergo a rigorous residency program in plastic surgery, which typically spans at least six years. This residency provides comprehensive training in both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery techniques, with hands-on experience across a wide range of procedures. Some plastic surgeons may choose to pursue additional fellowships to specialize in specific areas of plastic surgery, such as facial aesthetics or reconstructive microsurgery. This advanced training enables them to perform complex surgeries with precision, while their broad knowledge of anatomy allows them to approach cases from both functional and cosmetic perspectives. Plastic surgeons perform a diverse array of procedures beyond eyelid surgeries. These include facelifts, neck lifts, rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), breast augmentations, body contouring, and reconstructive surgeries for trauma or congenital conditions. When it comes to the face, plastic surgeons are skilled in creating harmonious, natural-looking enhancements that align with a patient’s desired aesthetic. In addition to cosmetic procedures, they also perform reconstructive surgeries to correct issues caused by injury, illness, or congenital deformities. While plastic surgeons are proficient in facial surgeries like blepharoplasty, they may approach the procedure from a broader aesthetic perspective, often considering the entire...

### Monolid Eyes vs Double Eyelids

> Discover the differences between monolid and double eyelids, why some individuals have monolids, and explore aesthetic options to achieve your desired look.

- Categories: Eyelid Procedures
- Tags: ben lee

What is the difference between monolid and double eyelids? Eyes are one of the most defining facial features, and their shape can vary widely across individuals. One common difference lies in the presence or absence of a crease on the upper eyelid, leading to either monolid or double eyelid shapes. Monolid eyes, which lack a visible crease, are commonly found among East Asian populations, while double eyelids, marked by a visible fold, are common globally. These variations influence not only the structure of the eyes but also perceptions of beauty and aesthetic preferences across different cultures. Let’s explore the distinctions between monolid and double eyelids, their cultural significance, and the variety of aesthetic options available for individuals who wish to enhance their eyelid shape. Whether you’re considering non-surgical techniques, makeup tips, or surgical options like double eyelid surgery or epicanthoplasty, understanding these differences can help you make an informed choice that aligns with your unique aesthetic goals and personal style. Call 888-674-3001 What Are Monolids and Double Eyelids? Monolids and double eyelids refer to two distinct eyelid shapes that differ in the presence or absence of a visible crease on the upper eyelid. Monolid eyes, commonly found among East Asian populations, are characterized by a smooth upper eyelid without a natural fold. This absence of a crease gives the eye a flatter appearance, which some describe as providing a unique, understated beauty. In contrast, double eyelids have a visible fold or crease above the lash line, creating a more defined contour. This fold can vary in depth and shape, making the eyes appear more open or rounded. How can I tell if I have monolid or double eyelids? The presence of monolids or double eyelids is often influenced by genetics and can be accompanied by an epicanthal fold, a skin fold of the upper eyelid that covers the inner corner of the eye. The epicanthal fold is particularly common among individuals with monolids, further contributing to the unique aesthetic of monolid eyes. Why do some people have monolid eyes? Culturally, monolids and double eyelids carry different connotations, especially in East Asian communities, where beauty standards often emphasize larger, more defined eyes. As a result, some individuals with monolids may opt for aesthetic enhancements, such as double eyelid surgery or non-surgical techniques, to achieve a double eyelid appearance. However, attitudes are shifting as many embrace the beauty of natural monolids, celebrating diverse eyelid shapes as part of individual identity and style. Understanding the differences between monolids and double eyelids can help individuals make informed decisions about their preferred look, whether that involves embracing their natural shape or exploring enhancement options. Learn More The Anatomy Behind Monolids and Double Eyelids What causes monolid vs. double eyelid differences? The anatomical differences between monolids and double eyelids are primarily determined by the structure and positioning of tissues in the upper eyelid. Monolids are characterized by the absence of a visible crease, resulting from a unique distribution of fat and connective tissue within the eyelid. In monolid anatomy, the tissues are positioned in such a way that they do not form a fold above the lash line. This lack of a crease gives monolid eyes a flatter, smooth appearance and often includes an epicanthal fold—a skin fold that covers the inner corner of the eye. The epicanthal fold is a common feature among individuals with monolids, especially those of East Asian descent, further contributing to the unique aesthetic of monolid eyes. In contrast, double eyelids have a visible crease or fold in the upper eyelid, formed by a lower placement of connective tissue and fat, which allows the skin to fold back. This structure creates a more defined contour around the eyes, making them appear larger or more rounded. The presence of a double eyelid fold is commonly seen in various ethnicities around the world, but it is less prevalent among East Asians, where monolids are more common. Why do Asians have monolids? The answer lies in genetics and the natural diversity of human anatomy. Monolids are simply a variation of eyelid anatomy that has become prevalent in certain populations due to genetic inheritance over generations. This diversity in eyelid shapes reflects the wide range of natural beauty across ethnicities, with each variation contributing to the individual’s unique facial features. Understanding these anatomical differences helps to appreciate the beauty of both monolids and double eyelids, emphasizing that both are simply expressions of genetic diversity. Cultural Significance and Perceptions What is the cultural significance of monolid eyes? The cultural perceptions of monolid and double eyelids are deeply rooted, especially in East Asia, where beauty standards often emphasize specific facial features, including eye shape. For decades, double eyelids have been favored in many East Asian societies, partly due to the influence of Western beauty ideals and a preference for larger, more defined eyes. This preference has led to a rise in cosmetic procedures like double eyelid surgery, as some individuals seek to attain what is often considered a more open, expressive eye shape. The choice between monolid vs double eyelid has become a personal and aesthetic decision influenced by cultural beauty standards, media representation, and social perceptions. Why are double eyelids often preferred in East Asian beauty standards? The influence of media and popular culture cannot be understated. With the widespread use of social media, beauty standards are often magnified, and trends in eye shapes can shift quickly. However, the past decade has seen a growing acceptance and celebration of the cultural significance of monolids and diverse eye shapes. Many celebrities and influencers proudly embrace their monolid eyes, challenging traditional standards and redefining beauty. This shift is encouraging a more inclusive view of beauty, where unique features are celebrated rather than altered to fit a single standard. As individual preference takes precedence, people are more empowered to choose the look they feel best represents their identity. Whether someone chooses to enhance their natural monolid eyes or pursue a double eyelid appearance, the decision increasingly reflects personal style...

I am really enjoy the result. Hopefully, it will last ten years or longer. Pee Wee Previous Next View More Testimonials Is The Eyelid Surgery Procedure Painful? Most patients find eyelid procedures pain-free, thanks to local anesthesia and light sedation. Here’s how it works: Local Anesthesia: Numbs the entire eye area, blocking pain signals and ensuring you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Sedation: Keeps you calm and relaxed, sometimes making you feel drowsy, so you’re comfortable throughout. With this approach, the typical procedure—which lasts one to two hours—remains comfortable and pain-free. While you might notice a slight sense of pressure or gentle pulling as the surgeon removes excess skin or tightens muscles, these sensations are mild and don’t cause discomfort. General anesthesia is an option for those who prefer to be fully asleep. However, most patients choose local anesthesia with sedation because it not only ensures comfort but also allows for a quicker recovery, as it avoids the side effects associated with general anesthesia.

After eyelid surgery, mild discomfort is common but generally manageable. Here’s what you can expect during recovery: 1. Tightness and Soreness Many patients experience a sensation of tightness or soreness around the eyes, which is most noticeable in the first few days after surgery. This is a natural part of healing as tissues adjust and swelling reduces. 2. Swelling and Bruising Swelling and bruising around the eyes are expected and tend to peak within the first 48–72 hours. By the end of the first week, most of the swelling has typically subsided, though minor bruising may linger for a few days longer. Managing Discomfort After Eyelid Surgery To help manage any soreness, your doctor may recommend over-the-counter or prescribed pain relievers. You’ll also receive specific post-operative care instructions, which may include: Cold Compresses: Applying cold compresses during the initial recovery can help reduce swelling and numb mild pain.

Facelifts, also known as rhytidectomies, are a popular cosmetic procedure that helps individuals reduce visible signs of aging, resulting in a more youthful appearance. If you're considering a facelift, one of the first questions likely on your mind is the cost. In this article, we'll break down the factors that affect the price of a facelift, provide a national average cost, and discuss other important considerations. Whether you're looking to combine a facelift with another procedure or explore different forms of facial plastic surgery, it’s essential to understand the associated costs, facelift techniques, and expected recovery time. Learn More: Facelift in Los Angeles Client Testimonials I recently had a facelift performed by Dr. Peter Lee, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final follow-up appointment, Dr. Lee and his team provided outstanding care and attention to detail.

He was able to tighten the skin around my lower eyelid and extend upper double eyelid so my eyes would look natural and beautiful. I am completely happy with the surgery. The staff were amazing too. I highly recommend them. Joyce Tung The staff and the doctors are so personable and friendly. I love the face, neck and lower eye lid lifts; I look refreshed and I look over 10 years younger. It was money well spent. Dr Ben Lee did an awesome job and my face looks so natural. I recommend Wave Plastic Surgery for any of the specialties they offer. Vicki Bolanis Peter Lee is a miracle worker. I had a bad facelift which Dr. Lee corrected. This was no small thing. Staph scars were deep into one side of my neck, climbing onto my face. I had no feeling in part of my cheek and I was very self conscious about the severe asymmetrical nature of my face. Worse, though I'd paid for a neck life, none was done. So when I came to WAVE I was very nervous, covered in scars, and lacking symmetry. 6 weeks ago I had my face redone and it is lovely. The scars are gone and the stitches were so perfect Dr. Lee could do side work with couture! I had very minimal discomfort and followed the directions to find myself with a gorgeous jaw line and much improved face. I am so glad I took the time to find this place.

Facelifts are often not covered by insurance. Mini facelifts: Can cost between $5,000–$8,000, but the actual cost may vary depending on the patient's needs. Additional procedures, like liposuction or skin resurfacing, may also increase the cost. Factors Influencing Facelift Costs When considering a facelift, it’s essential to understand that the overall cost can vary significantly based on several key factors. These factors affect not only the price of the procedure but also the quality of care, the expertise of the surgeon, and the expected outcomes. By being informed about what influences the price, you can better prepare and plan for your procedure, ensuring you get the desired results within your budget. Below are the main factors contributing to a facelift's total cost. 1. Location of The Procedure Cosmetic surgery costs often reflect the regional demand and the cost of living in the area. Major cities, particularly those known for their medical expertise and premium healthcare services (like Los Angeles, San Fransisco, or New York), will typically have higher prices. On the other hand, smaller cities or areas with fewer cosmetic surgery clinics may offer more affordable options. 2. Surgeon's Expertise and Credentials The surgeon's experience and reputation significantly impact the cost. Board-certified plastic surgeons with a proven track record often charge more, but their expertise usually translates to better outcomes. Surgeon’s fees can vary, but investing in a reputable, highly-skilled surgeon is crucial for achieving the best results. At Wave Plastic Surgery, for instance, we take pride in offering top-tier care with highly experienced surgeons, ensuring your procedure meets the highest standards of safety and results. 3. Type and Complexity of the Procedure Facelifts come in various types depending on the extent of aging and the areas to be treated. Below are some common types and their associated costs: Mini Facelift: A mini facelift targets sagging in the lower face and neck and is less invasive. Costs typically range from $5,000 to $8,000. Full Facelift: A traditional full facelift addresses wrinkles and sagging skin on the face and neck. Due to its comprehensive nature, the price is higher, usually falling between $10,000 and $15,000. Mid-Facelift: Focused on the cheek and upper jaw area, this procedure costs between $7,000 and $12,000. Again, these figures typically reflect the base fee and do not include additional costs related to surgeon’s fees, anesthesia fees, and post-operative care.

Facial symmetry has long been associated with beauty and attractiveness. While everyone has some facial asymmetry, pronounced imbalances can affect self-confidence and overall appearance.   Fortunately, modern advancements in plastic surgery make it possible to enhance facial harmony, creating a more balanced look. Our renowned plastic surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Orange County offer personalized facial asymmetry correction for patients unhappy with their appearance and seeking natural, balanced results. Ready to begin your transformation? Schedule your consultation with our expert surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery today. Call 888-674-3001 Understanding Facial Asymmetry Facial asymmetry is more common than you might think—almost everyone has slight differences between the two sides of their face. However, these imbalances can impact your overall appearance and self-confidence when they become more noticeable. Several factors can contribute to facial asymmetry, including: Genetics: Natural differences in bone structure and facial features can lead to unevenness. Injury or trauma: Accidents or facial injuries may cause bones or soft tissues to shift, resulting in asymmetrical features. Aging: Over time, skin can sag, and muscles may weaken, causing one side of the face to appear different. Medical conditions: Conditions like Bell's palsy can weaken facial muscles, leading to drooping on one side of the face. Fortunately, advancements in modern plastic surgery provide effective, personalized solutions to address these issues and help restore a more balanced and harmonious appearance. Whether due to genetics, injury, or aging, our expert plastic surgeons will consult you to deliver custom recommendations based on your individual needs. Surgical Options for Improving Facial Symmetry At Wave Plastic Surgery, we know that every face is unique, and correcting facial asymmetry is not a one-size-fits-all process. Our skilled plastic surgeons take the time to get to know each patient and understand their concerns and goals.   Depending on the nature and severity of the asymmetry, your treatment plan may include one or more surgical or non-surgical procedures. Below are some of the most common surgeries we offer to improve facial symmetry: 1. Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery) The nose is a critical feature of your face, and even small asymmetries can affect overall balance. Rhinoplasty can address aesthetic and functional concerns, helping create a nose that’s more proportional and in harmony with the rest of your face. Learn More About Nose Surgery 2. Facial Implants Chin and cheek implants can add definition and structure to areas that may appear uneven or underdeveloped. This helps create a more balanced facial contour, enhancing your natural features. Learn More About Cheek Surgery 3. Facelift A facelift may be the right solution if aging has caused sagging skin and muscle laxity, which contribute to asymmetry. This procedure lifts and tightens the skin and muscles, restoring a youthful, balanced appearance. Learn More About Facelifts 4. Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Blepharoplasty corrects unevenness around the eyes by removing excess skin and fat, creating a more balanced and refreshed appearance. Learn More About Eye Procedures 5. Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery) For individuals with a prominent or wide lower jaw that disrupts facial balance, jaw reduction surgery can help refine the jawline by reshaping and reducing the jaw size. This procedure enhances facial harmony and can create a slimmer, more balanced appearance. Learn More About Jaw Surgery Looking for a lasting solution for facial symmetry?

These options are minimally invasive, often with little to no downtime, and can be tailored to your specific goals. Here are some of the treatments we offer: 1. Dermal Fillers Dermal fillers are injectables that add volume to areas like the cheeks, chin, or lips where you may want more definition. If you notice uneven contours or volume loss, fillers can smooth out those areas and provide instant results with little to no recovery time. Learn More About Dermal Fillers 2. Botox While Botox is often used to treat wrinkles, it can also be an excellent solution for relaxing overactive muscles that may pull your face out of balance. Botox helps create a more even and symmetrical look by softening muscle activity. Learn More About Botox 3. Fat Transfer Fat transfer is a natural option that uses fat from another part of your body, like your abdomen or thighs, and injects it into areas where you need more volume—such as the cheeks, lips, or under the eyes. This technique can improve symmetry while using your own body’s resources. Learn More About Fat Transfer 4. Non-Surgical Skin Tightening For mild sagging or loss of skin elasticity contributing to asymmetry, non-surgical skin tightening treatments like Ultherapy use ultrasound or radiofrequency energy to lift and tighten the skin. This gradual process stimulates collagen production and improves skin firmness. Are you interested in non-surgical options to enhance your facial symmetry?

This procedure tightens the skin, muscles, and underlying tissues in the lower face and neck, helping restore a firm and youthful jawline. How it works: Through discreet incisions, the surgeon lifts and tightens the skin and underlying muscles, removing excess skin to create a smoother, more defined jawline. Results: Long-lasting results that can endure for ten years or more with proper care. Ideal for: Moderate to severe sagging jowls, especially in those seeking comprehensive rejuvenation. Learn More About Facelifts 2. Neck Lift A neck lift specifically targets sagging skin and muscles in the neck and along the jawline. For patients looking for more dramatic, overall results, this procedure is often combined with a facelift. How it works: The surgeon tightens the skin and underlying muscles in the neck and jawline area, removing excess skin to create a firmer, youthful appearance. Results: A smoother, more contoured jawline with long-lasting effects. Ideal for: Moderate to severe sagging in both the jowls and neck. Learn More About Neck Lifts 3. Chin and Jawline Augmentation Chin and jawline augmentation involves implants or fat transfer to add volume and structure to the lower face. Enhancing the chin or jawline helps to balance facial proportions and reduce the appearance of sagging jowls. How it works: Implants or fat grafts are strategically placed to enhance the natural structure of the chin and jawline, creating a more defined and balanced lower face.

This helps lift sagging jowls and improve overall facial contours. How it works: Fillers are injected into areas with volume loss to create a smoother jawline. Results: You’ll see immediate improvements, and depending on the type of filler used, the results can last 6 to 18 months. Ideal for: Mild to moderate sagging. Learn More About Dermal Fillers 2. Botox While Botox is best known for treating wrinkles, it can also help with sagging jowls by relaxing specific muscles that contribute to drooping. A few injections can give your face a subtle lift. How it works: Botox injections relax the muscles, pulling the jowls downward and creating a smoother jawline. Results: Results last around 3 to 6 months. Ideal for: Mild sagging or early signs of jowling. Learn More About Botox 3. Ultherapy Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This naturally tightens and lifts the skin along the jawline and neck.

Results: You’ll notice gradual improvements over 2 to 3 months, with results lasting up to a year or more. Ideal for: Mild to moderate sagging. Learn More About Ultherapy 4.

In 2015, actress Ariel Winter, best known for her role as Alex Dunphy on the hit sitcom Modern Family, made headlines when she revealed that she had undergone breast reduction surgery. Her decision to share her journey shed light on a common yet often misunderstood procedure that bridges the gap between reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries. At just 17 years old, Winter faced a dramatic transformation, developing size F breasts seemingly overnight. The rapid breast development was particularly impactful for someone with her petite 5’1" frame. She opened up about how this change impacted her personal and professional life in interviews. Though she continued to play younger roles on Modern Family, Winter had to make adjustments due to her more mature appearance and struggled with the unwanted attention her larger breasts attracted (Radloff, 2015). If you’re considering breast reduction surgery, you’re not alone. Contact Wave Plastic Surgery to schedule a consultation and start your journey toward relief and renewed confidence. Learn More About Breast Reduction Surgery | Call 888-674-3001 What Is Macromastia? Macromastia, also known as breast hypertrophy, is a medical condition characterized by the excessive growth of breast tissue. Women with macromastia typically experience disproportionately large breasts relative to their body size, which can lead to both physical and emotional challenges. The condition is not just cosmetic—it often causes significant discomfort and health issues that can affect daily life. Common Symptoms of Macromastia: Chronic pain: One of the most common complaints is neck, back, and shoulder pain due to the weight of the breasts pulling on these areas. Posture problems: The added weight can lead to poor posture, further exacerbating pain and discomfort. Skin irritation: Women with macromastia often experience rashes or skin infections under the breasts, especially in warm climates where sweat and friction aggravate the condition. Grooves in shoulders: Bra straps often dig into the skin, causing deep grooves in the shoulders as they try to support the extra weight. Restricted physical activity: Large breasts can limit participation in physical activities like running, swimming, or yoga due to discomfort or difficulty finding supportive sportswear. Emotional and Psychological Effects: Beyond the physical challenges, macromastia can take a toll on a woman's self-esteem and body image. Women with macromastia often feel self-conscious, as their large breasts can attract unwanted attention. This can lead to social discomfort, difficulties finding clothes that fit properly, and a negative perception of their body. For many women, breast reduction surgery is a transformative solution that not only alleviates physical symptoms but also boosts confidence and improves overall quality of life. Related: 7 Things To Know About Breast Reduction Surgery Why Ariel Winter Chose Breast Reduction Surgery As a young actress in the spotlight, Modern Family star Ariel Winter, like many women, faced both physical and emotional challenges due to her large breasts. Her decision to undergo breast reduction surgery was primarily influenced by the constant scrutiny she endured in Hollywood and the debilitating physical discomfort caused by macromastia. 1. Public Scrutiny, Online Bullying, and Body Shaming Growing up in Hollywood under intense public scrutiny, Ariel Winter was regularly on display at award shows and red-carpet events, where her body eventually became a focal point of criticism (Radloff, 2015). Whether attending the Emmys or other high-profile events, Ariel often felt pressured to look a certain way. Unfortunately, the attention was often negative, and the then-17-year-old actress was subjected to harsh comments on social media and relentless online bullying about her appearance. In an interview with ABC News, Winter discussed the constant barrage of comments on her body and the disappointment she felt when headlines were about her cleavage and not her talents or profession. “I thought that was really disappointing,” Winter said.   2. Finding Clothes That Fit Properly Ariel Winter frequently struggled to find clothes that fit her properly, both on and off the set of Modern Family. She often resorted to wearing sweaters on the show to help conceal her figure, which she said she understood was necessary due to the way her character needed to be presented. Still, it was difficult for her to go through daily.   This challenge extended into her personal life, creating barriers when shopping for clothing and bathing suits.   In an interview with Glamour Magazine, Ariel recalled how frustrating it was when she couldn’t find anything to wear, saying, “I can’t go to a party with my friends and wear the same thing as them. I have to be completely covered up otherwise I'll look a certain way that I'm not intending to look. ” This constant difficulty in finding clothes that fit and made her feel confident contributed to her decision to undergo surgery, seeking relief from both the physical discomfort and emotional burden. This is a common thread we see amongst patients at Wave Plastic Surgery. The emotional toll of struggling to find appropriate clothing is challenging for many women, causing them to seek a solution as Ariel did.   2. Physical Pain and Discomfort of Macromastia Beyond the emotional burden, macromastia had a significant impact on Ariel Winter's physical health. Like many women with overly large breasts, she experienced chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain that interfered with her daily life.   In her exclusive interview with Glamour Magazine, Ariel revealed that the pain became overwhelming: “It started to hurt so bad that I couldn’t take the pain. ”  She explained that standing up straight for hours on set often left her exhausted from the discomfort. Ariel shared that her family wasn’t surprised when she confided in them about her thoughts on breast reduction surgery, as several of her cousins had undergone similar procedures. Still, she emphasized that her decision was entirely her own. “I got it for myself... I can’t even really put it into words about how amazing it feels to really feel right,” Winter said. 3. Body Image and Lifestyle Ariel Winter has been open about her struggles with body image before her breast reduction surgery. In the interview with Glamour...

### Can Men Get a Ponytail Face Lift in California?

> Discover the benefits of a ponytail face lift for men—natural, subtle results with minimal downtime. Learn more and schedule a consultation with expert surgeons in California.

- Categories: Facelift

The ponytail face lift is a minimally invasive procedure that creates a subtle, natural lift, much like how a high ponytail would gently pull the skin. Unlike a traditional face lift, which involves more extensive incisions and a longer recovery, the ponytail lift uses smaller incisions hidden within the hairline to lift the mid-face, cheeks, and brows. This technique provides a refreshed, youthful look without the drastic changes often associated with more invasive surgeries, making it a popular choice for men in California seeking subtle facial rejuvenation. As more men are turning to cosmetic procedures, including face lifts, the ponytail face lift for men in California has become a go-to option for those looking to enhance their appearance with minimal downtime. Whether you’re considering a male face lift to refresh your natural features or exploring non-surgical face lifting options for men, this procedure offers a discreet and effective solution for a youthful appearance. Call 888-674-3001 What is a Ponytail Face Lift? The ponytail face lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to lift the facial features, particularly the upper face, and cheeks, naturally and subtly. Named after the effect a tight ponytail has in pulling the skin upward, the procedure uses minimal incisions and scarring, strategically placed within the hairline. This ensures a more refreshed look without the obvious signs of surgery. ProcedureThe ponytail face lift focuses on lifting areas like the cheeks and brows with fewer and smaller incisions than those used in a traditional face lift. This gentle repositioning of sagging skin and tissues avoids deep structural disruptions, allowing for quicker recovery and effective but subtle results. For men in California who want a youthful appearance without the tell-tale signs of surgery, this approach is ideal. Target AudienceThis procedure is particularly popular among younger patients or those seeking a subtle face lift without the downtime and recovery associated with more invasive techniques. It’s also a favorite for individuals looking for non-invasive face lift techniques that maintain a natural look while enhancing their facial contours. Men who want to avoid an “overdone” appearance while still achieving noticeable enhancement will find the ponytail face lift a suitable solution. Are Ponytail Face Lifts Different for Men? Facial Structure DifferencesWhen performing a male ponytail face lift, surgeons must take into account the anatomical differences between men’s and women’s faces. Men typically have thicker skin, a different distribution of facial fat, and a more prominent bone structure, all of which require a modified approach to ensure optimal results. Additionally, beard growth and facial hair can impact how the skin is lifted and sutured, making precise execution essential to maintain a natural and masculine look. Tailored ApproachA ponytail lift for men is customized to enhance the masculine features of the male face. Surgeons focus on maintaining or accentuating a strong jawline and natural contours while providing a subtle lift to areas like the cheeks and brows. The goal is to avoid a “pulled” appearance and instead create a refreshed, masculine look that aligns with the patient’s aesthetic goals. Customized face lifts for men in California ensure each patient receives a personalized approach tailored to their unique needs. Scarring ConsiderationsMen often have concerns about visible scarring, particularly if they wear shorter hairstyles. Surgeons strategically place incisions within the hairline or around the ears to minimize visible scars. This technique makes the male ponytail face lift an appealing option even for men with short hair, ensuring a discreet and natural-looking result. Benefits of a Ponytail Face Lift for Men in CaliforniaMinimal DowntimeOne of the major benefits of a ponytail face lift for men is the minimal downtime compared to traditional face lifts. The less invasive nature of the procedure means most men can return to their normal activities much faster—often within a week or two. This quick recovery is ideal for men with busy lifestyles in California who want to refresh their appearance without taking significant time off work or other responsibilities. Natural ResultsFor men concerned about looking “overdone,” the ponytail face lift offers natural, subtle results. The procedure is designed to enhance the face’s natural contours without making the skin appear tight or overly stretched. This natural face lift for men provides a rejuvenated and youthful appearance while maintaining a masculine look. Hidden IncisionsMen who are worried about visible scarring can rest assured that the ponytail face lift uses hidden incisions placed within the hairline or around the ears. This strategic placement ensures scars are discreet, making this procedure perfect for men who prefer shorter hairstyles or are concerned about visible signs of surgery. The attention to detail ensures the results are both natural and masculine while keeping the procedure low-profile. What is the Procedure Like for Men? Surgical ProcessThe ponytail face lift for men typically begins with anesthesia to ensure comfort during the surgery. Once the patient is numb, the surgeon makes small incisions strategically hidden within the hairline or near the ears. These incisions allow the surgeon to gently lift and reposition the facial tissues, creating a subtle, youthful appearance. The use of fine sutures ensures the skin is lifted without appearing too tight, maintaining the masculine features of the face. Recovery and AftercareThe ponytail face lift recovery for men is generally quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within 1-2 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common in the first few days but typically subside within a week. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and keep their heads elevated during the initial recovery period. Men’s face lift aftercare includes cleansing the incision areas and applying any prescribed ointments. Regular follow-ups with the surgeon ensure proper healing and optimal results. Results TimelineMen can expect to see initial results within the first few weeks after the procedure, as swelling subsides. Full results typically become visible after a few months when the skin settles into its new position. The results of the ponytail face lift can last several years, with occasional touch-ups recommended to maintain the desired appearance over time. Is a Ponytail Face Lift...

If you’ve ever thought about eyelid surgery, you’ve probably come across the term blepharoplasty. It’s a common procedure designed to fix drooping eyelids, remove excess skin, or even improve vision in some cases. But did you know there’s also something called Asian blepharoplasty? It’s often referred to as double eyelid surgery and is specifically tailored for individuals of Asian descent who may want a more defined eyelid crease. Understanding the difference between these two types of procedures is key if you’re considering eyelid surgery. Whether you’re looking to address sagging eyelids or enhance the natural shape of your eyes, knowing which option suits your needs can help you make the best decision for your goals and appearance. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we specialize in offering personalized options to help you achieve your desired look while keeping your unique features in mind. Call 888-674-3001 What is Blepharoplasty? Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on a patient’s needs. This procedure is typically done to address drooping or sagging eyelids, which can not only affect the way you look but also impair your vision. Many people opt for blepharoplasty to reduce puffiness, correct under-eye bags, or simply achieve a more refreshed, youthful appearance. Common candidates for this surgery are individuals experiencing signs of aging, those with sagging or droopy eyelids, or those facing vision impairment due to excess skin around the eyes. It’s a go-to solution for anyone looking to restore a more youthful and alert look to their eyes—helping you feel as young as you look. Blepharoplasty Procedure What is Asian Blepharoplasty? Asian blepharoplasty, often referred to as double eyelid surgery, is a specialized type of eyelid surgery that focuses on creating a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelid. Many Asian individuals are born without a prominent eyelid crease, and this procedure helps enhance that area to give a more defined eye shape. The surgery can give the appearance of larger, more open eyes while still maintaining a natural look. When it comes to cultural and aesthetic considerations, Asian blepharoplasty is designed to respect the unique anatomy of Asian patients. The goal isn’t to “Westernize” the appearance but rather to create a subtle crease that complements the patient’s natural features. It’s all about enhancing the eyes while keeping the patient’s ethnic identity intact, providing a customized result that balances personal preferences with cultural sensitivity. This procedure allows you to maintain the beauty of your heritage while feeling more confident in your own skin. Double Eyelid Surgery Key Differences Between Blepharoplasty and Asian BlepharoplastyWhile both procedures aim to enhance the appearance of the eyes, general blepharoplasty and Asian blepharoplasty have different goals and techniques. Let’s break down the key differences to help you better understand each type of surgery. Aspect General Blepharoplasty Asian Blepharoplasty Procedure Goals Primarily focuses on rejuvenation by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. Often done to improve vision or reduce signs of aging. Aims to create or enhance a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelid while maintaining ethnic features. Surgical Area Involves both upper and lower eyelids, targeting drooping skin and puffiness. Focuses mainly on the upper eyelid, with specific attention to creating a balanced, defined crease. Surgical Techniques Excises excess skin and fat, often combined with lower lid surgery to remove under-eye bags. Requires precision with fold placement and suture technique to create a natural double eyelid crease. Common Patient Demographics Typically performed on older patients looking to reduce sagging or improve vision. Popular among younger patients of Asian descent seeking a subtle enhancement of their eyelid shape. Procedure GoalsStandard Blepharoplasty: This procedure is all about rejuvenation. It focuses on improving the appearance of drooping, sagging eyelids, and reducing puffiness. For many patients, the surgery also improves vision by removing excess skin that may hang over the eyes. This procedure is ideal if you’re looking to turn back the clock and enjoy a brighter, more youthful appearance. Asian Blepharoplasty: The main goal here is to create or enhance a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelid, a feature that may be less prominent or absent in many Asian individuals. This procedure gives a more defined eyelid while preserving the patient’s natural ethnic features. It’s the perfect solution if you want subtle refinement that enhances your natural beauty. Surgical TechniquesGeneral Blepharoplasty typically involves both the upper and lower eyelids. The surgeon removes excess skin and fat to lift the lids and reduce puffiness, especially in aging patients. Lower blepharoplasty may also address under-eye bags. Asian Blepharoplasty requires meticulous attention to the eyelid crease and fold positioning. Surgeons use advanced techniques to create a balanced double eyelid while maintaining the natural shape of the eyes. This type of surgery is highly specialized and focuses on maintaining the integrity of the patient’s natural features. Patient DemographicsGeneral Blepharoplasty: Most patients who undergo this procedure are seeking to reduce the signs of aging, such as drooping eyelids or puffiness. It is also common among patients who experience vision issues due to excess eyelid skin. Asian Blepharoplasty: This procedure is especially popular among younger patients of Asian descent who want to enhance their eyelid shape by adding a natural crease. It is often more of a cosmetic enhancement than a functional necessity, providing a gentle refinement that enhances your eyes without drastically changing your appearance. Who is a Good Candidate for Each Type of Blepharoplasty? Understanding which type of blepharoplasty suits your needs depends largely on your personal goals and anatomy. Let’s take a look at who makes a good candidate for each procedure: General BlepharoplastyAging Concerns: If you’re dealing with sagging skin around the eyes, droopy eyelids, or puffy bags under the eyes, you may be a great candidate for general blepharoplasty. Many individuals seek this procedure to rejuvenate their appearance, making their eyes look more youthful and alert. Vision Impairment: Some patients consider general blepharoplasty for...

Ever notice how some faces just seem perfectly balanced? That’s facial harmony in action—when your nose, chin, and cheeks are proportioned and complementary. Facial harmony enhances your natural beauty without drawing attention to any one feature. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we understand how crucial this balance is. Our team of experts specializes in personalized solutions to help you achieve ideal facial harmony using the latest techniques. Whether you're exploring what facial harmony means or considering cosmetic surgery or treatments to enhance it, we’ve got you covered! What is Facial Harmony? So, what is facial harmony exactly? Simply put, it’s when all your features—your nose, jawline, cheeks, and eyes—are in perfect proportion. It’s not about perfection, but how your features work together to create a balanced, natural look that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Achieving facial balance with plastic surgery or enhancements doesn’t mean completely changing your face; it’s about enhancing what’s already there. Maybe your nose is a bit more prominent, or your chin could use more definition—procedures like rhinoplasty or chin augmentation can restore that balance and help everything fall into place. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we’re here to help you discover how all your features can complement each other seamlessly. Ready to explore your options? Let’s get started! How Plastic Surgery Can Improve Facial HarmonySo, how can plastic surgery help achieve that harmonious balance? It’s about tweaking the proportions of your features so they work together in the best way possible. If your nose feels a bit too prominent or your jawline could use more definition, there are plenty of options available. Here are a few popular procedures to enhance facial harmony:Rhinoplasty (Nose Job): Perfect for reshaping the nose to fit your overall facial structure. Chin Augmentation: A great option to define your jawline and balance your profile. Facelift: Tightens skin and keeps your features in balance as you age. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Refreshes tired eyes and restores symmetry. Injectables (Botox, Dermal Fillers): Non-surgical options to smooth wrinkles and enhance facial contours. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we create customized plans to fit your specific needs. Whether you’re after a subtle tweak or a bigger change, our goal is always to create natural-looking results that bring harmony to your features. Let’s talk about how facial harmony surgery can work for you! What is Good Facial Harmony? Good facial harmony isn’t about having a “perfect” face—it’s about balance. When your nose, lips, eyes, and jawline are all in proportion, your features work together to create a naturally beautiful look. Interestingly, this idea of balance often ties back to the golden ratio, a mathematical principle found in nature and art that’s considered key to visual harmony. In facial aesthetics, proportions close to the golden ratio are thought to create a more symmetrical and pleasing appearance. But here’s the thing: what works for one person might not work for another. It’s all about enhancing your unique features in a way that feels right for you. Whether you’re looking for a slight adjustment or a bigger transformation, Wave Plastic Surgery uses advanced 3D modeling during consultations to help you visualize the results before any decisions are made. Achieving good facial harmony is about feeling like the best version of yourself. Let’s start designing a plan that works just for you! Common Facial Concerns That Disrupt HarmonyWe all have features that sometimes feel a bit "off," and that's completely normal! Here are a few common concerns that can disrupt facial harmony:Asymmetry: One eye higher than the other or an uneven jawline can make your face look less balanced. Facial fillers or jawline contouring can help fix that. Disproportionate Features: Whether it’s a larger nose or a smaller chin, procedures like rhinoplasty or chin augmentation can help bring everything into proportion. Aging Concerns: Sagging skin, wrinkles, and volume loss can disrupt harmony over time. Solutions like facelifts, eyelid surgery, brow lift, or Botox can help restore balance. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer solutions for every concern to help you achieve the natural balance you’re looking for.

Over 11 million people worldwide turn to Botox injections each year for a smoother, more youthful appearance. Botox is a minimally invasive procedure that can target various areas of the face. One of the most common questions is: Where should I get Botox? Understanding the Botox face chart can help determine the best injection sites to treat dynamic wrinkles and enhance your overall appearance. Interested in exploring Botox in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Orange County? Schedule a consultation at Wave Plastic Surgery. We’ll help guide you and develop a personalized treatment plan for your needs and goals. Learn More About Botox | Call 888-674-3001 What Is Botox? Botox is a cosmetic injectable made from botulinum toxin, designed to temporarily block the signals your brain sends to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. It is highly effective in treating dynamic wrinkles, which form due to repetitive facial movements. To maintain smooth and youthful skin, your body needs elastin and collagen—two proteins naturally produced by your body. When you're younger, your body creates ample amounts of these proteins, keeping your skin firm and hydrated. However, by the time you reach your mid-20s, production of these proteins slows down. Your skin may no longer bounce back into place after making facial expressions like smiling or frowning, which leads to dynamic fine lines and wrinkles. What Are Dynamic Wrinkles? Since Botox injections help relax the muscles, they can also prevent new wrinkles from forming. When you come to a consultation, we assess your face and provide personalized options based on your needs. The Botox injection process is quick, taking just a few minutes with no downtime. You can expect to see results within a few days, making it a popular procedure to get during a lunch break. 10 Common Botox Injection Sites on the Face: Botox Face Chart Overview When you visit any of our Wave Plastic Surgery locations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Orange County, we provide a Botox face chart to show you where injections are commonly placed to achieve your desired results. Below are the 10 most common Botox injection sites: 1. Around the Eyes 1. Around the Eyes (Crow’s Feet) Crow’s feet are one of the first signs of aging and among the most common Botox injection sites on the Botox face chart. These dynamic wrinkles form from repeated squinting or smiling, often starting in your 20s because the skin around the eyes is thinner. For crow’s feet, you may need 5 to 15 units of Botox per side, with effects lasting between three and four months. 2. Forehead Where can you get Botox on your face? The most popular option is the forehead. Horizontal lines across your forehead come from smiling, frowning, and many other expressions, but Botox injections can help.   In this area, most people need 10 to 30 units of Botox. The results can last up to four months.   3. Between the Eyebrows The area between the eyebrows is called the glabella, and the lines that form here are known as glabellar lines. These lines can make you look tired or angry, making this a highly sought-after Botox treatment area. You will need 10 to 25 units for glabellar lines, with results lasting three to four months. 4. Upper Eyebrow Another of the most common places to get Botox on face wrinkles is the upper eyebrow. When you get Botox injections there, the results can mimic those of an eyebrow lift because it can relax the muscles that cause your upper eyelids to droop. You may need two to five units on each side of the upper eyebrow. The results can last around three months.   5. Side of Your Nose On the Botox areas face diagram, another wrinkle you may see appears on the side of your nose when you scrunch up your face. These are called bunny lines or nasalis lines. In some cases, the lines can extend up to the lower eyelid.   Most people need between 5 and 10 units per side to treat bunny lines. The results can last between three and four months, and then, you will begin seeing the lines reappear.   6. Dimpled Chin If you have a dimpled or puckered chin, these marks can worsen as you age because the muscles in the area can become more active. Botox can help smooth out the area.   You may need between 2 and 6 units of Botox for a dimpled chin. Injections for this site are one of the longest-lasting options, with many people enjoying results for five or six months. 7. Smile Lines Botox injections can also help with the smile lines that form around your mouth. These lines can extend downwards toward the jaw, giving you a droopy look and even making you appear sad or angry. Injections at the site can help you regain a livelier and happier look. Most people need between 3 and 6 units on each side for smile lines. You can enjoy the results for anywhere from three to six months. 8. Neck If you have neck bands that make your neck look older than it should, Botox injections can help. For necklines, you may need between 25 and 50 units. The results can last from four to six months.   9. Gummy Smile If you have a smile that shows a lot of gum, you can also turn to Botox injections. Botox helps weaken the lip muscles that allow your gums to show so much when you smile.   To resolve this issue, you may need between two and four units. The results can last between three and five months.   10. Lip Flip A Botox lip flip can be done on its own or with fillers. It allows you to get the look of a fuller upper lip by rolling the lip outward. The fine lines above your lip can also disappear.   You may need about 10 units for a Botox lip flip. Depending on...

### Double Eyelid Asymmetry: Why Do I Sometimes Have a Double Eyelid?

> Double eyelid asymmetry occurs when one eyelid forms a visible crease, while the other does not, leading to an uneven appearance. Learn more.

Double eyelid asymmetry occurs when one eyelid forms a visible crease, while the other does not, leading to an uneven appearance. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle imbalances, fat distribution, or natural facial asymmetry. While double eyelids are a cosmetic feature for many people, their asymmetry can sometimes raise concerns about appearance and, in some cases, functionality. Causes of Double Eyelid Asymmetry Double eyelid asymmetry can result from a variety of factors, ranging from muscle imbalances to natural differences in facial structure. While it may be a cosmetic concern for some, understanding the underlying causes of this asymmetry is the first step toward addressing it. Below are some of the most common reasons why double eyelids may appear uneven. Levator Muscle Weakness: One of the primary reasons for double eyelid asymmetry is the weakness or dysfunction of the levator muscle. This muscle is responsible for lifting the eyelid and forming the crease that defines a double eyelid. When the levator muscle is weaker on one side, it can result in the eyelid appearing lower or lacking a defined fold. This imbalance can make one eye look larger or more open than the other. In some cases, ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid) may occur, further contributing to the unevenness. This condition can develop over time due to aging, injury, or genetics. Fat Distribution: As people age, the skin around the eyes loses elasticity, and fat may accumulate unevenly in the eyelids. This uneven distribution of fat can make one eyelid appear heavier or more puffy, leading to a less distinct crease. When fat collects disproportionately in one eyelid, it can obscure the fold, creating the appearance of a single eyelid on one side. Brow Asymmetry: Brow position plays a significant role in eyelid symmetry. If one brow is lower than the other, it can cause the skin around the eye to sag, diminishing the visibility of the double eyelid fold. A drooping brow may result from aging or muscle weakness, leading to a more pronounced asymmetry in the eyelids. Bone Structure and Natural Facial Asymmetry: Everyone’s face has some degree of natural asymmetry, which can affect the appearance of the eyes and eyelids. The structure of the eye socket, differences in skin thickness, and muscle tone on either side of the face all contribute to these subtle variations. Sometimes, asymmetry in the bone structure around the eye can make one eye appear more deep-set, further exaggerating the difference in eyelid appearance. Why Does My Double Eyelid Sometimes Disappear? It is common for individuals to experience temporary changes in their eyelid appearance. This fluctuation can be due to several factors: Fatigue: When you are tired, your eyelid muscles may become weaker, causing the crease to disappear temporarily. Fluid Retention: Puffy eyes from fluid retention, caused by lack of sleep, a high-salt diet, or hormonal changes, can mask the double eyelid crease. Aging: As skin loses elasticity with age, the crease of a double eyelid may become less pronounced or disappear entirely on one side. Muscle Imbalance: If the muscles responsible for opening and closing the eyelids are temporarily strained or fatigued, they may not function symmetrically, causing one double eyelid to vanish. Treatment Options for Double Eyelid Asymmetry At WAVE Plastic Surgery, we specialize in advanced techniques for correcting double eyelid asymmetry, offering both surgical and non-surgical solutions to help our patients achieve balanced, aesthetically pleasing eyelids. Our expertise in eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) ensures that each treatment is tailored to the unique needs and goals of our clients. Here are some of the most effective options for treating double eyelid asymmetry: 1. Ptosis Surgery One of the most common causes of double eyelid asymmetry is ptosis or the weakening of the levator muscle responsible for lifting the eyelid. At WAVE Plastic Surgery, we offer ptosis surgery to correct this muscle imbalance, ensuring both eyelids are lifted to the same height and form a symmetrical double eyelid crease. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who experience drooping in one eye or a less defined crease on one side due to muscle weakness. Our surgeons carefully assess the strength and function of the levator muscle to determine the best approach for each patient. Ptosis surgery can be performed alone or in conjunction with double eyelid revision surgery to ensure a harmonious result. For patients with mild ptosis, a minor adjustment may be all that’s required to restore symmetry, while more severe cases may involve reinforcing and reattaching the levator muscle. 2. Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Blepharoplasty is a highly effective surgical solution for correcting double eyelid asymmetry, particularly when excess skin or fat contributes to an uneven appearance. At WAVE Plastic Surgery, we specialize in both upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures to refine the eyelid contour and create a balanced, youthful look. During a double eyelid blepharoplasty, our skilled surgeons can adjust the height and definition of the eyelid crease, ensuring that both eyes achieve a uniform appearance. For patients whose asymmetry is caused by puffiness or sagging skin on one side, we remove excess tissue and reposition the fat, creating a smooth, even surface. This procedure not only enhances the cosmetic appearance of the eyelids but also improves eyelid function, offering long-lasting results. For those seeking subtle changes, we offer non-incisional double eyelid surgery, which creates a double fold without making an incision in the skin. This method can be ideal for individuals with mild asymmetry and no significant excess skin or fat. Our surgeons at WAVE Plastic Surgery are renowned for their precision in both incisional and non-incisional techniques, ensuring natural-looking, symmetrical results. 3. Brow Lift Brow asymmetry is another common contributor to uneven double eyelids. If one brow sits lower than the other, it can cause the eyelid skin to sag and obscure the crease on that side, making the eyelids appear asymmetrical. At WAVE Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of brow lift procedures to correct this issue and restore balance to the...

### Exploring Double Eyelid Tape: Risks &amp; Alternatives

Double eyelid tape has become a popular cosmetic tool, particularly among East Asian individuals, to create the appearance of a double eyelid crease. The tape provides a temporary, non-invasive option for those desiring the look of larger, more defined eyes without undergoing surgery. While double eyelid tape can be convenient, frequent use may have long-term effects that should not be overlooked. How Double Eyelid Tape Works Double eyelid tape is an adhesive strip applied to the upper eyelid to simulate a crease. By pushing the eyelid skin upwards, the tape mimics the appearance of a double eyelid fold, often considered desirable in certain beauty standards. While effective for creating a temporary crease, its daily use can pose challenges for the delicate skin around the eyes. The Risks of Double Eyelid Tape: Expert Insights According to experts, while double eyelid tape can effectively create a crease by stiffening the skin, prolonged use can lead to unwanted side effects. Over time, the tape or glue may cause the skin to become rougher and thicker, and frequent stretching can result in sagging eyelids. Occasional use for special events may be harmless, but for those seeking a more permanent solution, surgery is generally recommended to avoid long-term damage to the eyelid skin. Potential Risks and Drawbacks of Double Eyelid Tape While double eyelid tape offers a temporary and non-invasive way to create a double eyelid crease, its frequent use can lead to long-term negative consequences for the delicate skin around the eyes. Below are some common risks: Skin Irritation and Allergic Reactions: The adhesives used in double eyelid tape often contain chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin, particularly in the eye area. Frequent exposure can cause reactions such as redness, itching, swelling, and even contact dermatitis in individuals with allergies to adhesive components. The skin on the eyelids is thinner and more fragile, making it more prone to such reactions. Skin Stretching and Sagging: The continuous tugging and pulling from applying and removing tape can stretch the delicate eyelid skin. Over time, this repeated strain can weaken the skin's natural elasticity, leading to premature sagging or drooping. Skin stretching may also make it harder to achieve a natural crease with the tape, especially if the skin becomes loose and less firm over time. Eyelid Thickening and Roughness: Repeated use of tape can lead to eyelid thickening, a condition where the skin becomes rougher and thicker due to chronic irritation. The friction caused by the adhesive can lead to micro-inflammation in the skin, triggering an overproduction of collagen. While collagen is necessary for skin repair, excess collagen buildup can make the skin on the eyelids stiffer and thicker. This thickened skin may appear less natural when trying to create a crease and can complicate future cosmetic procedures. Loss of Skin Elasticity: Over time, the repetitive use of tape can contribute to a loss of skin elasticity, which makes it more challenging to restore the natural appearance of the eyelid. As the skin loses its ability to bounce back, it may result in more permanent changes to the eyelid’s shape and appearance, even when the tape is not in use. Increased Need for Surgical Intervention: Long-term tape users may find that the temporary effects of the tape are not enough to achieve their desired look. As the skin changes over time, many individuals who use tape eventually seek out more permanent solutions such as blepharoplasty (double eyelid surgery). Blepharoplasty can provide a lasting solution by creating a natural crease in the eyelid, without the need for daily application of tape or glue. Eye Health Concerns Linked to Double Eyelid Tape Frequent use of double eyelid tape can pose various risks to eye health, particularly if worn over long periods. Incomplete Blinking and Dry Eyes: Double eyelid tape often prevents the eyelid from closing fully, leading to incomplete blinks. This can result in poor tear distribution, causing the eyes to dry out. Over time, dry eyes may lead to discomfort and other complications, such as meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), where oil-producing glands in the eyelids become blocked, further worsening dryness. Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Irritation: Incomplete blinking due to tape wear may cause issues with the meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oil layer of tears. This dysfunction can lead to irritation, redness, and an increased risk of conditions such as blepharitis or eyelid inflammation. Individuals may experience symptoms like itchy, swollen, or irritated eyelids, affecting overall eye health. Corneal Staining and Abrasions: The use of adhesives near the delicate eye area increases the likelihood of corneal staining, which occurs when the protective layer of the cornea is compromised, leading to discomfort and sensitivity. In some cases, improper application or removal of the tape can cause mechanical abrasions to the corneal surface, which can lead to infections if not addressed. Changes in Tear Film and Blink Rate: The use of double eyelid tape may alter normal blink rates, as seen in studies where long-term wear resulted in incomplete blinking and faster tear evaporation. This disruption in tear film stability can lead to conditions such as lipid deficiency and dry eye, where the oil layer in the tear film is insufficient, exacerbating dry eye symptoms. Pressure on the Eye: Over time, the pressure exerted by double eyelid tape can cause subtle changes in intraocular pressure (IOP). While not immediately harmful, this reduction in IOP could affect the natural fluid balance within the eye, contributing to potential eye discomfort or complications if the tape is used frequently. Weighing the Alternatives: Surgery vs. Temporary Solutions For individuals seeking a permanent solution to achieve a defined double eyelid crease, upper blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as Asian double eyelid surgery, is a highly effective option. Unlike temporary fixes like tape or glue, this surgical procedure creates a natural, lasting crease without the need for daily maintenance. During the surgery, excess skin and fat are removed or repositioned to form a more defined eyelid fold, resulting in a smoother, more youthful...

Additional factors that may influence the cost are the complexity of the surgery and the additional treatments, such as laser resurfacing or brow lifts. Lower Blepharoplasty Cost Range Due to the potential complexity of a lower blepharoplasty procedure, it can be more expensive, with costs ranging from $4,000 to $6,500. This procedure focuses on addressing puffiness, bags, or sagging skin under the eyes, often using more advanced surgical techniques to ensure optimal results. Combined Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty Costs There is an opportunity cost for savings when a patient undergoes both upper and lower blepharoplasty. The estimated cost for a combined upper and lower blepharoplasty can range from $6,000 to $10,000. This approach enables the surgeon to target both areas during one surgical session, reducing overall operating room and anesthesia expenses. Although undergoing the combined procedure may require a larger initial investment, it often leads to a more thorough facial rejuvenation at a lower cost in comparison to having each procedure done separately.

While this can enhance overall results, it will also increase the total cost of the procedure. Patients considering a combination of treatments should discuss these options during their consultation to receive a personalized quote.

### What Is the Biggest Cause of Eye Bags &amp; Dark Circles?

> Are you struggling with eye bags and dark circles? Learn more about what causes them, and how you can treat them with research-proven methods.

Eye bags and dark circles are common concerns that can make people self-conscious about their appearance. These issues can cause you to look tired, older, or stressed even when well-rested. So, what causes these pesky under-eye issues, and how can they be effectively treated? At Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center, we help patients achieve a natural, refreshed look using the latest treatments and procedures. This article will explore the most common causes of eye bags and dark circles and provide applicable, helpful solutions. Contact us today to schedule a consultation. Let us do the groundwork and recommend the best research-backed approach to treating your under-eye bags and dark circles. Call: 888-674-3001 Understanding the Difference Between Eye Bags and Dark Circles Before addressing the causes of eye bags and dark circles, it’s important to understand that they are different conditions, each requiring a unique approach to treatment. 1. What Are Eye Bags? Eye bags are the puffiness or swelling that occurs beneath the eyes, giving a tired or aged appearance. While aging is the most common cause, other factors can also contribute, such as: Fluid retention: Caused by high-sodium diets, lack of sleep, or dehydration Allergies: Inflammation and irritation can increase swelling Natural aging: As skin and muscles weaken, fat may shift downward, creating puffiness Lifestyle choices: Smoking, alcohol consumption, and even excessive sun exposure While eye bags are generally harmless, they can affect how rested or youthful you appear. 2. What Are Dark Circles? Dark circles refer to the shadowy, dark areas beneath the eyes that result from various causes, including: Thinning skin: As we age, collagen production slows, and the skin under the eyes becomes thinner, making blood vessels more visible. Pigmentation: Increased melanin production or sun exposure can cause darkening of the skin. Visible blood vessels: Prominent blood vessels under thin skin can give the area a bluish or purplish hue. Fatigue and stress: These factors worsen the appearance of dark circles by increasing blood flow and making skin appear paler. 3. Why It Matters Although eye bags and dark circles can occur together, they require different treatments. Fillers may be the solution for dark circles caused by volume loss, while blepharoplasty can effectively reduce puffiness from fat deposits. Understanding the root cause is critical to choosing the best treatment. What Is the Biggest Cause of Eye Bags and Dark Circles? The primary causes of eye bags and dark circles can be summed up in two main categories: aging and fatigue. These factors significantly contribute to the appearance of puffiness and dark shadows, making them the biggest culprits. 1. Aging: The Leading Cause of Eye Bags and Dark Circles Aging is the number one cause of dark circles and eye bags. As we age, our skin becomes thinner, losing fat and collagen, making the under-eye area appear more hollow and dark. Thinning Skin and Collagen Loss: Over time, the skin under the eyes loses its elasticity, allowing blood vessels to show through more clearly. This results in a shadowy, dark appearance. Fat Displacement: With age, the fat that supports the eyes can shift, leading to sagging or the appearance of puffy bags. While aging is unavoidable, there are effective ways to reduce its impact. If you need options to combat these effects, contact Wave Plastic Surgery at 888-674-3001. We’re here to help you determine which services will accomplish your desired look. Learn More: Best Anti-Aging Skin Treatments 2. Fatigue and Lack of Sleep The second major cause of eye bags and dark circles is fatigue. Sleep deprivation or poor-quality sleep can make your skin look pale, allowing blood vessels and dark tissues beneath the skin to become more visible. Fluid Retention: Lack of sleep can cause fluid to accumulate under the eyes, leading to puffiness or bags. Increased Blood Flow: When you’re tired, blood flow increases to the under-eye area, which can make dark circles more prominent. If you're struggling with chronic eye bags or dark circles, there are treatments available that can help refresh your appearance. Contact Wave Plastic Surgery at 888-674-3001 to learn how we can help you look your best. Other Contributing Factors In addition to aging and fatigue, several other factors contribute to the development of eye bags and dark circles. 3. Genetics: A Common Underlying Cause For many people, eye bags and dark circles are inherited. If you have family members who also struggle with these concerns, you might have a genetic predisposition. Inherited Thin Skin: Thin skin around the eyes is often hereditary, making dark circles more noticeable. Hyperpigmentation: Genetic pigmentation can also lead to a darker under-eye area. 4. Allergies and Sinus Congestion Allergies are a lesser-known but significant cause of puffiness and dark circles. When you have an allergic reaction, blood vessels under the eyes can dilate, contributing to puffiness and discoloration. Sinus Pressure: Congestion from allergies or sinus problems can increase pressure in the blood vessels under the eyes, leading to puffiness and dark circles. 5. Lifestyle Choices Certain lifestyle factors can significantly contribute to the appearance of eye bags and dark circles: Smoking: Smoking depletes collagen and accelerates aging, making under-eye bags more pronounced. Alcohol and Salt Intake: Both alcohol and a high-sodium diet can lead to fluid retention, causing puffiness and dark circles. If lifestyle changes haven’t improved your under-eye concerns, it might be time to explore treatment options at Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Orange County. Our team specializes in addressing these issues with advanced techniques. Call us today at 888-674-3001. 6. Sun Exposure and Pigmentation Overexposure to the sun can lead to hyperpigmentation, especially in sensitive areas like the skin under the eyes. The sun stimulates melanin production, leading to darker skin and exacerbating the appearance of dark circles. Protect Your Skin: Applying sunscreen and wearing sunglasses can protect the delicate skin under your eyes from UV damage, helping to prevent pigmentation issues. Effective Treatments for Eye Bags & Dark Circles Various effective treatments are...

### Finding the Best Facelift Surgeon in Los Angeles

As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity, leading to visible signs of aging, such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and jowls. The desire to maintain a youthful appearance is common, especially in a city like Los Angeles, where the emphasis on beauty and aesthetics is prominent. Facelifts help restore facial contour, take years off a person’s appearance, and complement other cosmetic procedures people may consider nicely.   According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 120,000 individuals choose to undergo cosmetic facelifts each year. If you're considering a facelift to rejuvenate your facial appearance, choosing the right surgeon is crucial to achieving natural-looking results. This article will guide you through what to look for in a facelift surgeon in Los Angeles, the different types of facelift procedures, and what you can expect during the process. What Is a Facelift?   A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging in the lower face and neck. This kind of surgical procedure enhances the appearance of a person’s face by tightening the skin and underlying tissue. Facial plastic surgeons frequently also combine facelifts with other techniques, such as eyelid or brow lift surgery, for natural-looking results. Some of the issues facelifts typically address include: Skin Laxity Deep Nasolabial Folds Jowls Double Chin And other issues contributing to an aged appearance. By tightening the underlying facial tissue and removing excess skin, a facelift can restore a youthful contour to the face and neck. Who is the Best Candidate for a Facelift? The best facelift candidates are those with excess skin on their faces and neck. However, they should still have a certain amount of skin elasticity. Their skin can bounce back after the surgeon pulls it tight during their procedure.   Individuals who have lost substantial weight or have fragile skin may not be the best candidates for this procedure. This is one reason finding the best facelift surgeon in Los Angeles is essential. Your surgeon will schedule a consultation with you, where they will examine your facial features and allow you to ask questions to determine if you’re an appropriate candidate. Before and After Patient Gallery View More Transformations Tips on Choosing the Best Facelift Surgeon in Los Angeles Choosing the right facelift surgeon is the most important decision in your journey to facial rejuvenation. Here are vital factors to consider: 1. Check Their Expertise  Before scheduling a consultation, anyone considering a facelift should look at the surgeon’s before-and-after photo galleries. This will offer a sense of the surgeon’s experience with performing facelifts. It will also help determine the surgeon’s “style” and whether or not it’s a good fit for what you’re hoping to achieve. It’s important to remember that facelifts aren’t just about technical skill. They’re also about artistry. Anyone considering a facelift should consider this, assessing the surgeon's previous work and results to determine whether they’re the best surgeon to achieve a particular look.   2. Ensure They’re A Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Always ensure the Los Angeles facelift surgeon is board-certified through the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) when considering a facelift procedure. This indicates they have undergone rigorous training and meet the high standards set by the ABPS. A board-certified plastic surgeon will have the expertise to perform complex procedures like facelifts and offer personalized care. Additionally, board certification ensures the surgeon has completed the necessary education and training to perform facelift surgeries successfully. It also shows that the facelift surgeon is up to date on the latest standards and techniques. 3. Check The Surgeon’s Safety Record  When thinking about any surgical technique, safety should be your top priority. You should question the facelift surgeon about how they handle surgical complications and inquire about their protocols for infection control. It’s also a good idea to ask if the surgeon has American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) accreditation to ensure their facility complies with the national standards. 4. Interview and Ask Questions  When you arrive for your consultation with the facelift surgeon, you should take notes (written or mental) about the office. Be sure to ask specific questions and document the answers the surgeon provides.   Some helpful questions to ask may include: What is the Los Angeles facelift surgeon’s experience with the facelift procedure? Does the facelift surgeon specialize in facial plastic surgery? Will the surgeon provide before-and-after photos? How many times has the surgeon performed this particular procedure? Is this procedure suitable for the patient? Who will provide the anesthesia? Where does the procedure take place? Will it be performed in an accredited facility? You should also note how friendly the personnel is, how clean the office is, and if the environment makes you feel comfortable. These are all important things when making such a significant decision. 5. Check Former Patient Satisfaction  As we mentioned earlier, it’s always a good idea to look at the photos of the Los Angeles facelift surgeons' before-and-after results to provide a sense of the aesthetic outcome. Additionally, you can ask for references and testimonials from past facelift patients. Testimonials can be extremely beneficial to people considering cosmetic surgery to combat facial aging. These give you an idea of how other people have felt about their experiences with this particular surgeon or facility, which is valuable information during decision-making. 6. Inquire About the Surgery Facility  A person’s safety during a facelift procedure will depend mainly on the operating facility and the anesthetist. It’s always a good idea to look into accredited surgery facilities with essential life support systems. A couple of things you can inquire about include: Ask the facelift surgeon where they perform the procedure and check the facility’s accreditation level. Check for AAAHC, AAAASF, IMQ, and JCAHO surgery facility certification or a different state medical board-approved accrediting body where the surgeon operates. Inquire about the anesthetist's qualifications. For safety, the individual should look for either a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist or a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) to administer...

### How to Fix Droopy Eyelids Without Surgery

Best Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift Options Droopy or sagging eyelids can make you look tired, aged, or even affect your vision. While blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is a common solution, many people seek non-surgical alternatives for a lifted, youthful appearance without downtime. Fortunately, several non-invasive treatments can help tighten the eyelids, reduce sagging, and improve eye symmetry—all without surgery. In this guide, we’ll explore the best non-surgical eyelid lift options, including Botox, dermal fillers, skin tightening treatments, and natural remedies like eyelid exercises and skincare solutions. Can You Lift Droopy Eyelids Without Surgery? Yes, several effective non-surgical treatments can address sagging eyelids, depending on the cause. Skin laxity, muscle weakness, and fat redistribution are common reasons why eyelids droop over time. While non-surgical treatments won’t replicate the dramatic results of blepharoplasty, they can provide visible improvement with little to no downtime. The best approach depends on your individual needs and degree of eyelid sagging. Hooded Eyes vs. Droopy Eyelids Hooded eyes and droopy eyelids may seem similar at first glance, but they are distinct conditions with different causes and implications. Hooded eyes are a natural eye shape where the skin from the brow bone covers a part of the eyelid, creating a "hooded" appearance. This feature is often inherited and is most noticeable when the eyes are open, as the upper eyelid may seem less visible. Hooded eyes are not a medical condition but rather a normal variation in eye structure that can give the eyes a deep-set look. Many people with hooded eyes have no functional issues, although some may seek cosmetic treatments to enhance the visibility of their eyelids. On the other hand, droopy eyelids (ptosis) involve the actual sagging of the upper eyelid, which can be due to aging, muscle weakness, or underlying medical conditions. Unlike hooded eyes, droopy eyelids can affect vision if the eyelid droops low enough to cover the pupil. Ptosis can occur in one or both eyes and might develop gradually over time or appear suddenly, depending on the cause. While hooded eyes are more about aesthetics, droopy eyelids often require medical attention, especially if they interfere with vision or are associated with other symptoms. Understanding the difference between these two conditions is important for determining the appropriate treatment or intervention. Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift – Best Treatment Options Eyelid Exercises to Lift Droopy Eyelids Naturally Some people believe that targeted eyelid exercises can help strengthen the levator muscles, which control eyelid movement. While results may be subtle, regular facial exercises could help improve muscle tone over time. Best Eyelid Exercises for Sagging Eyelids: Eyebrow Raises: Place your fingers just above your eyebrows and gently lift while trying to close your eyes. Hold for a few seconds and repeat. Blinking Resistance: Place your fingers at the outer corners of your eyes and slightly pull back. Blink while resisting the movement. Forehead Stretch: Raise your eyebrows as high as possible while keeping your eyes open wide. Hold for a few seconds and relax. While eyelid exercises may offer minor improvements, they cannot reverse severe sagging or ptosis. For more noticeable results, cosmetic treatments may be necessary. Skincare & Eye Creams for Sagging Eyelids Using the right skincare products can help tighten and firm the delicate skin around the eyes, preventing further sagging. Key Ingredients to Look For: ✔ Peptides: Stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. ✔ Caffeine: Reduces puffiness and temporarily firms the skin. ✔ Retinol: Encourages cell turnover and boosts skin tightening. ✔ Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates and plumps the skin for a smoother appearance. Regular use of firming eye creams can support skin health, but for more dramatic improvement, cosmetic treatments may be needed. Botox for Eyelid Lifting – Does It Work? Botox injections can help lift sagging eyelids by relaxing the muscles that pull the brows downward. When injected in strategic areas, Botox can: ✔ Lift the brow area, reducing the appearance of drooping eyelids. ✔ Smooth fine lines around the eyes. ✔ Improve symmetry for a refreshed appearance. How long does Botox last? Results typically last 3-4 months, after which repeat treatments are needed. Best for: Mild to moderate sagging or asymmetry due to muscle activity. Non-surgical Procedure: Botox Learn More About Botox Dermal Fillers for Non-Surgical Lower Eyelid Lift Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based injectables (Juvederm, Restylane), can provide support to the brow and upper cheek area, creating a lifted effect that reduces the look of droopy eyelids. How fillers help with sagging eyelids: ✔ Adds volume to areas where skin has lost elasticity. ✔ Creates a lifting effect by restoring structure around the eyes. ✔ Reduces dark circles and hollows for a rejuvenated appearance. Results last 6-12 months, depending on the type of filler used. Best for: Mild to moderate drooping caused by volume loss. Non-Surgical Skin Tightening for Eyelid Rejuvenation Several non-invasive cosmetic treatments can help firm eyelid skin and reduce sagging without injections. Popular Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Options: ✔ Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy: Uses heat energy to stimulate collagen production, tightening the skin over time. ✔ Ultrasound Therapy (Ultherapy): Delivers ultrasound energy to lift and firm sagging skin around the eyes. ✔ Laser Skin Resurfacing: Encourages new skin growth while tightening the delicate eye area. How long do results last? Depending on the treatment, results may last from several months to over a year, with multiple sessions often required. Best for: Mild to moderate loose skin around the eyelids. Alternatives to Blepharoplasty – What’s the Best Option for You? If you’re not ready for surgery, a combination of non-surgical treatments can provide noticeable improvement. How to Tighten Sagging Eyelids at Home? The area around our eyes can either take years off or add years. Overtime, we notice our skin is not as firm and plump as it once was. There are simple routines that you can incorporate into your lifestyle to slow down the process of aging. Tightening eyelids at home can be achieved through a combination of natural remedies, exercises, and lifestyle changes. Regularly performing eyelid exercises, such...

### What is Double Eyelid Surgery?

Do you know what type of eyelid you have? There are two different types of eyelids: the mono eyelid and the double eyelid. Mono eyelids (also known as monolids) are most common in people with Asian heritage, while most other heritages have double eyelids – and both are beautiful! But if you’ve ever found yourself wondering why your eyes don’t quite match the look you’re aiming for or feel like your eyelids make it harder to apply makeup, you’re not alone. Many people with monolids consider double eyelid surgery to enhance their natural appearance and boost their confidence. To help you understand more, we’ve compiled a guide outlining everything you need to know.   Ready to make a change? Contact Wave Plastic Surgery today at 888-674-3001 to schedule your consultation. We’ll help you determine which procedures and services, surgical and non-surgical, are best for you.   Before and After Photos See more in our Before and After Gallery. What is a Double Eyelid? A double eyelid simply refers to an eyelid with a visible crease that separates the upper lid into two distinct parts. This crease helps create a more defined eye shape, often making the eyes appear larger or more open. Double eyelids are common among Caucasians, but they're also more prevalent among people of Asian descent than many realize. Studies show that about half of Southeast and East Asian women naturally have double eyelids, despite the common misconception that monolids are the norm. This is one reason why double eyelid surgery, also known as "Asian eyelid surgery" or "Asian blepharoplasty," has become a popular procedure for those looking to create or enhance the natural fold. If you're thinking about this procedure, it's often because you're seeking a subtle change that enhances your overall look without altering your unique features. Understanding what a double eyelid is and how it affects the eye's appearance is the first step toward making an informed decision. Get The Look You’ve Always Dreamed Of Our award-winning surgeons deliver natural, long-lasting results with extensive experience and proven results in eye procedures. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about how we can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.   Call: 888-674-3001 What Is a Monolid? A monolid refers to an eyelid shape that lacks a visible crease or fold between the lash line and the brow. Unlike double eyelids, which have a defined crease that creates a more contoured appearance, monolids have a smoother, flatter transition from the eyebrow to the upper lash line. This creates a distinctive look where the eyelid appears more seamless. Monolids are most commonly seen in individuals of East Asian descent, and they give the eyes a unique, smooth appearance. Because the eyelid lacks a fold, it can sometimes give the impression of smaller eyes, as more skin may rest over the upper part of the eyeball. However, the shape of monolids offers its own beauty and is often celebrated for its natural, striking appearance. Many makeup techniques have been developed specifically for monolids to enhance and define their unique structure. Addressing Eyelid Insecurities While monolids and double eyelids are beautiful and common, societal beauty standards often promote the double eyelid as the ideal. This can cause unnecessary insecurity for those with monolids, leading to feelings of self-consciousness and a lack of confidence in their appearance. It’s important to recognize that there is no "right" or "wrong" type of eyelid, but overcoming personal insecurities isn't always easy. Double eyelid surgery offers a solution for those who feel that their eyelid shape affects their self-esteem and quality of life. This procedure can help individuals achieve the desired look, making them feel more confident and comfortable in their skin. Ready to enhance your confidence? Contact us today to learn how double eyelid surgery can help you achieve the look you’ve always desired, with results that feel natural and true to you. Call: 888-674-3001 Eyelid Plastic Surgery What is double eyelid surgery? Double eyelid surgery, a type of blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to create a crease in the upper eyelid. Blepharoplasty refers to any surgery that enhances the appearance or function of the eyelids, and double eyelid surgery is one of the most popular procedures worldwide. If you have monolids, you can have blepharoplasty done to turn them into double lids, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your appearance. It’s actually one of the most common procedures across the globe! There are two primary methods for double eyelid surgery: 1. Incisional Method: This approach involves making small incisions in the eyelid to remove excess fat and tissue, followed by securing the remaining skin and muscle to create the desired crease. This method is ideal for individuals with thicker eyelids or those who want a more precise and permanent result. It allows for greater control over the final shape and is known for its long-lasting effects. 2. Suture Method: In this less invasive option, small sutures are placed to connect the upper eyelid muscle to the skin, gradually forming the desired crease as scar tissue develops. While this method typically results in quicker recovery times, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly for those with thicker skin or more fat in the eyelid. Learn More: Asian Upper Blepharoplasty Why Do People Choose Double Eyelid Surgery? Double eyelid surgery is popular for various reasons, from aesthetics to practical improvements. Whether you're seeking a subtle enhancement or addressing a specific concern, the procedure offers a range of benefits. Below are some of the common motivations and advantages associated with double eyelid surgery: 1. Enhanced Appearance of the Eyes One of the primary reasons people opt for double eyelid surgery is to create a more defined, expressive eye shape. Monolids can sometimes give the appearance of smaller or less prominent eyes due to the lack of an upper eyelid crease. By creating a natural fold, double eyelid surgery can make the eyes look bigger and more balanced in proportion...

CoolSculpting for Body Contouring In addition to facial rejuvenation, CoolSculpting is a highly effective non-surgical body contouring treatment that helps to eliminate stubborn fat pockets. CoolSculpting works by freezing fat cells, which your body naturally eliminates over time. This treatment is perfect for those looking to achieve a slimmer, more contoured physique without surgery. For patients in Southern California seeking a quick, non-invasive way to enhance their appearance, CoolSculpting offers long-lasting results with no downtime. Minimally Invasive Anti-Aging Solutions Non-surgical treatments, like Botox, dermal fillers, microneedling, and laser skin resurfacing, are all minimally invasive anti-aging solutions that offer quick, effective results with minimal recovery time. Whether you're looking to reduce wrinkles, restore facial volume, or improve skin texture, these treatments provide a more convenient alternative to surgery while still achieving noticeable, youthful outcomes. Skin Treatments Morpheus8 Combining the advantage of both Radio Frequency and Microneedling technology, Morpheus8 is the latest generation of anti-aging treatment developed by the Inmode Aeshtetic Solutions. Unlike traditional laser technology, it avoids thermal damage to the epidermis. The needle tips penetrate directly into the dermis to emit heat, directly affecting the dermal and subdermal tissues for a better and more noticeable result. Morpheus 8 uses extremely fine needles to penetrate the skin and release radiofrequency energy at the tips, stimulating the regeneration of collagen and elastin, thus tightening the skin, reducing wrinkles, and achieving facial rejuvenation and body sculpting. The microneedle probe is made of insulated gold, suitable for all skin types, preventing infection and avoiding adverse reactions such as scabbing and hyperpigmentation post-treatment, thus making it safer. Unlike other microneedling devices on the market, Morpheus8 simultaneously penetrates the skin and stimulates deep collagen regeneration while safely and steadily transmitting radiofrequency energy into the skin. This controlled technological environment heats the deeper layers of the skin, more powerfully and effectively stimulating collagen regeneration. There are many, many benefits of Morpheus8 when it comes to anti-aging, including but not limited to: Improve large pores and uneven skin tone Reduce facial wrinkles and body stretch marks Repair and lighten acne scars, pockmarks, and burn scars More effectively enhance facial contours and tighten skin Chemical Peels Chemical peels are mainly used on the face, neck, and hands and work by exfoliating the outer layer of the skin. It is a non-invasive and promising anti-aging treatment justified by its ability to accelerate collagen synthesis, leading to improved signs of aging almost immediately. Exfoliating the outer layer of the skin prompts the skin to regenerate, resulting in a smoother, less wrinkled, and more even skin tone. Chemical peels are great for people with mild scars, age spots, dull skin texture, or wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. They come in varying intensities that range from superficial to medium to deep, and the process may require a series of treatments scheduled a few weeks apart. The type of peel used and the number of treatments needed will depend on the state of your skin and the desired results. Wave Plastic Surgery's chemical peel, Cure Peel, features a combination of Salicylic Acid and Trichloroacetic Acid and an original blend of essential nutrients and moisturizers that make it safe, painless, and suitable for all skin types. The treatment causes no downtime. All minimal side effects, like redness and itching, fade away within a day or two after the treatment. Microneedling Pricking the skin with super-tiny needles may make some skeptical about this procedure, but micro-needling is an effective non-invasive anti-aging treatment. The procedure helps treat scars, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and stretch marks. Despite its approach, micro-needling is not painful and has minimal side effects. In a professional setting, a topical anesthetic cream will be applied...

When it comes to non-invasive skin tightening treatments, Ultherapy and Thermage are two of the most popular options. Both are designed to lift and firm the skin without surgery, but how do they differ in terms of results, cost, comfort, downtime, and safety? Below, we’ll explore the key differences between these two treatments, so you can make an informed decision about which one might be right for you. Click the video below to listen to Dr. Peter Lee explain the differences. and provide more insight on which procedure is best for you. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=vD_w0CnnVeg In 2019, one of the top five cosmetic surgical procedures was a facelift. In 2020, the number of people getting facelifts decreased partially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the decrease can also be connected to the rise in non-surgical procedures. Many are opting for Ultherapy and Thermage treatments because they are non-invasive options. We’ll explore Thermage vs. Ultherapy, their benefits, and how these treatments differ. Read on to decide if either option is right for you. What is Ultherapy? Ultherapy is an FDA-approved treatment that uses focused ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin by targeting the deeper layers of tissue beneath the surface. This procedure stimulates collagen production, helping to reduce sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles over time. It’s commonly used to treat the face, neck, and décolletage, offering natural-looking results without the need for surgery. Results: Ultherapy gradually improves skin tightness and tone over 2-3 months as the body produces new collagen. Results can last up to a year or more with proper skincare. Cost: The cost of Ultherapyvaries based on the treatment area but typically ranges between $1,500 to $3,500 per session. Comfort: While Ultherapy is non-invasive, some patients report mild discomfort during the procedure as the ultrasound energy is delivered deep into the skin. Downtime: There is little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities immediately. Safety: Ultherapy is FDA-approved and considered very safe when performed by a trained provider. Is Ultherapy safe? The treatment has a strong safety record, with temporary side effects such as redness or swelling being rare. Enhancing Facial Contours with Ultherapy and Thermage Both Ultherapy and Thermage are excellent choices for individuals seeking a non-surgical skin tightening procedure. These treatments can enhance facial contours, particularly around the jawline, jowls, and lower face, areas prone to sagging over time. By stimulating collagen production, both procedures help restore elasticity and provide a more youthful appearance. Targeting Jowls and the Jawline Jowls are a common concern as skin loses its firmness with age. Both Ultherapy and Thermage can help lift sagging skin along the jawline, creating a more defined and contoured lower face. While Ultherapy works by delivering micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen deep within the skin, Thermage uses radiofrequency to target the dermis and fat layer, providing noticeable results. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=uqv_ZftviAY Ultherapy Treatment: Before and After Photos See More Ultherapy Results in our Before and After Gallery What is Thermage? Thermage is another non-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and tightening loose skin. Thermage is ideal for treating wrinkles and skin laxity on the face, neck, abdomen, and even around the eyes. Results: Immediate results are often visible after just one session, with full effects becoming more noticeable over the following months as collagen builds. Results can last up to 1-2 years depending on individual skin conditions. Cost: Thermage costs typically range from $2,000 to $5,000 per treatment, depending on the area being treated. Comfort: Thermage uses cooling technology to protect the skin’s surface, making the procedure more comfortable, although patients may still feel some heat. Downtime: Like Ultherapy, Thermage has minimal downtime, with most patients returning to daily activities immediately. Safety: Thermage is FDA-approved and widely regarded as a safe option for skin tightening, with temporary side effects such as redness or mild swelling being uncommon. Addressing Signs of Aging and Skin Texture One of the key benefits of Ultherapy and Thermage is their ability to address multiple signs of aging beyond just skin laxity. These treatments improve skin texture by tightening loose areas and enhancing elasticity, resulting in a smoother and firmer complexion. How Skin Issues Are Addressed Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Ultherapy’s ultrasound energy targets deeper layers to smooth fine lines, while Thermage tightens surface-level wrinkles. Skin Sagging: Thermage is particularly effective in treating larger areas of the body, such as the eye area and décolletage, improving overall skin tightness. Elasticity & Firmness: Both treatments promote new collagen production, helping the skin regain its elasticity over time. Aspect Ultherapy Thermage Technology Ultrasound energy Radiofrequency energy Treatment Areas Face, neck, décolletage Face, neck, eyes, body Results Timeline Gradual over 2-3 months Immediate, with continued improvement Duration of Results Up to 1 year Up to 2 years Cost $1,500 - $3,500 per session $2,000 - $5,000 per session Comfort Mild discomfort during treatment Generally more comfortable with cooling Downtime None None Safety FDA-approved, minimal side effects FDA-approved, minimal side effects Thermage vs. Ultherapy: The Differences Explained Both Ultherapy and Thermage are non-surgical procedures used as skin tightening solutions. The differences between the two involve how Thermage works and vice versa. Although they have similarities, determining the difference between Thermage vs. Ultherapy can help you decide which option is right for you. Thermage vs. Ultherapy for Different Areas of the Body Although both treatments are primarily used for the face, they can also be effective in treating other areas of the body. Ultherapy: Commonly used on the face, neck, and décolletage. Thermage: Suitable for larger areas, including the abdomen, arms, thighs, and eye area, making it a versatile option for full-body skin tightening. The Energy Even though both treatments aim to make people look younger, the procedures are quite different. The main difference is the energy used. For Ultherapy, ultrasound is used while radiofrequency technology is used for Thermage treatments. Both energies create heat during the...

### How to Fix Ptosis: Surgical &amp; Non-Surgical Options

Having an eyelid that droops affects your appearance and could impact your self-esteem. This condition is called ptosis, and it can lead to vision problems and discomfort, all of which can combine to affect your quality of life. If you have this condition, learn more about what it is, what causes it, and most importantly, how to fix ptosis.   What Is Ptosis?   Ptosis is a medical condition in which the upper eyelid of one or both eyes sags, droops, or falls over the eye. This can lead to a partially obstructed field of vision and can be a cosmetic concern as well. Eyelid ptosis can affect one or both eyes. It can be worse in one eye than in the other and can impact both the upper and lower eyelids.   Most of the time, people can tell if they have ptosis from the drooping of the eyelid, but there are also other signs. Ptosis symptoms include: Increased tearing Tiredness and achiness around the eyes Excessive rubbing of the eyes Decreased vision. It’s estimated that about 11% of adults over 50 have ptosis. Other names for the condition include blepharoptosis, palpebral ptosis, and droopy eyelid.   Types of Ptosis  There are two main types of ptosis: congenital and acquired. Your diagnosis will help identify the ptosis treatment most beneficial to your condition.   Congenital Ptosis  Congenital ptosis refers to an inherited condition. It may not be immediately noticeable at birth, but indicators can start to show within a few months. It can be unilateral or bilateral.   Acquired Ptosis  Acquired ptosis typically occurs in adults. It can develop if the levator muscle weakens or separates from your eyelid. One type of acquired ptosis is involutional ptosis, in which you experience a varying degree of drooping of the upper lid.   What Causes Ptosis?   There are many causes of ptosis, depending on the type you have. Babies born with congenital ptosis have fat and fibrous tissues in the eyelid muscle instead of the standard muscle fibers. Adults with acquired ptosis, however, can develop the condition for a number of reasons.   Muscle Weakness If the ligaments or muscles that raise your eyelids are weakened because of illness or injury, they have trouble preventing the eyelid from drooping.   Age-Related Changes As you age, the muscles around your eyes can grow weaker while your skin stretches and begins to droop. Ptosis can also occur if you experience age-related descent of the brow.   Neurological Conditions A neurological condition like Myasthenia Gravis, a condition in which antibodies destroy communication between nerves and muscles, can start as ptosis before progressing to other symptoms. Horner syndrome, a rare condition that affects your eye and the surrounding tissues on one side of the face, can also cause ptosis.   Injury or Trauma If your levator muscles were damaged in any way from a blow to the eye or other injury, you can experience ptosis. That is called traumatic ptosis. In some cases, a previous injury could cause scarring that weighs the muscle down, leading to a drooping eyelid.   Tumors and Growths Pituitary, pancreatic, and brain tumors can also cause ptosis, though these are rarer causes. Usually, it presents as unilateral ptosis. Some people also experience mechanical ptosis, when an eyelid tumor or growth causes the eyelid to become too heavy for the muscle to lift.   Eyelid Stretching If you’ve had eye surgery in the past, the instruments that hold the eye open could have led to eye stretching. As you age, your eyelid also naturally stretches. That can affect the muscles and skin. Allergic Reactions Swelling and inflammation from an allergic reaction can result in a droopy eyelid. This swelling can weigh down the eyelid muscles, making it difficult for the eyes to stay fully open. Contact Lens Wear Hard contact lens wearers, especially women, have a 20 times increased risk of developing ptosis. It stems from the weakening of the levator muscle caused by wearing lenses over many years.   Genetic Factors The development of the muscles, nerves, and ligaments all play a role in whether someone has ptosis. Weakness of the external eye muscles is considered genetic.   Unknown Causes For some people, it can be challenging to determine what is causing ptosis. It is described as idiopathic when no specific underlying cause can be identified.   How to Fix Ptosis  Left untreated, ptosis can worsen over time and lead to other complications. It could affect vision development in children, and in adults with acquired ptosis, it can cause astigmatism and amblyopia.   Surgical and non-surgical ptosis treatments can help you get relief from this condition.   Surgical Options  For many people, surgery offers the best chance of achieving the results they want. It is the only way to tighten the levator muscle and provides a long-lasting and effective solution. Here are some standard surgical procedures for ptosis treatment: Double Eyelid Surgery Double eyelid surgery focuses on giving you a wider and more open appearance. For this procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision along the upper eyelid and manipulates the eyelid skin and tissues to find the muscle that lifts your eyelid while also creating an eyelid crease.   We use a specialized suture at Wave Plastic Surgery to set that crease in place and strengthen the levator muscles.   Brow Lift Surgery: A brow lift surgery removes any excess skin and tissues that can lead to brow drooping and worsen ptosis eye issues. To perform the procedure, the surgeon repositions the underlying muscles and tissues of the eyebrow. That helps brighten the eye area by lifting the soft tissues of the brow.   At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer an endoscopic brow lift procedure that uses tiny instruments to shift the necessary tissues without requiring large incisions. Upper Eyelid Surgery  For upper eyelid surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision along the natural folds of the upper eyelid. Then, they remove excess fat, skin, or other tissues...

So, you’re considering facelift surgery. Congratulations on taking this step towards a younger-looking and more confident you! With the right plastic surgeon, a facelift can take years off your appearance and boost your self-esteem. Like any surgery, preparation is key to achieving the best results and ensuring a smooth recovery. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we recommend starting to prepare for your facelift at least six weeks before your surgery date. Read on to discover our top tips on how to prepare for a facelift. Call Us: 888-674-3001 Understanding Modern Facelift Surgery & Your Consultation Today's facelift, or Rhytidectomy, procedures have evolved significantly from the "one-size-fits-all" approaches of the past. Modern techniques focus on creating natural-looking results tailored to each patient's unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. Hyper-Personalization of Facial Plastic Surgery Facial plastic surgery has entered a new era of precision and personalization. Thanks to advances in AI, data analytics, and minimally invasive techniques, procedures like facelifts are now hyper-personalized to meet individual needs. Patients can achieve better results with shorter recovery times and less invasive methods. What Is Hyper-personalization in Facial Plastic Surgery? Hyper-personalization in facial plastic surgery represents a cutting-edge approach that tailors every procedure to an individual’s unique facial anatomy, aging patterns, and aesthetic goals. By leveraging advancements in technology and a deeper understanding of facial structures, hyper-personalized treatments go beyond a one-size-fits-all approach, ensuring more natural, precise, and satisfying results. This methodology is particularly transformative in facelifts, as it allows surgeons to address specific concerns while minimizing recovery time and maximizing outcomes. When preparing for a facelift, a consultation becomes a crucial step in designing a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This process includes a detailed assessment of your facial anatomy, skin condition, and desired results, helping to create a truly customized approach. Have Questions? Call 888-674-3001 to speak to our experts now Tailored Approaches Based on Anatomy Every face ages differently, and hyper-personalization recognizes these variations. For younger patients with minimal signs of aging, less invasive techniques like a limited incision facelift or endoscopic facelift can deliver significant rejuvenation without the downtime associated with traditional methods. These approaches are ideal for addressing early concerns like slight jowling or sagging in the midface. Conversely, older patients experiencing more advanced signs of aging may benefit from a comprehensive extended SMAS facelift, which involves deeper tissue repositioning, neck band correction, and skin tightening. This approach addresses pronounced wrinkles, sagging skin, and volume loss for a more dramatic yet natural-looking transformation. https://youtu. be/Vejie0aYy_c? feature=shared Integration of Non-Invasive Treatments In addition to surgical precision, hyperpersonalized treatment plans often integrate non-invasive methods to enhance results. These may include laser resurfacing for skin rejuvenation, dermal fillers to restore lost volume, or fat grafting to smooth hollows and improve contours. By combining these techniques with surgery, patients can achieve a more cohesive and harmonious outcome. Preparing for a hyper-personalized facelift involves more than a routine consultation. Patients should focus on clear communication with their surgeon about specific concerns, such as drooping eyelids or deep tear troughs. This allows us to create a fully customized treatment plan that might include minimally invasive procedures like fat grafting or targeted laser resurfacing. Facelift Before & After Preparing For Your Facelift: Six Weeks to a Month Before Your Rhytidectomy Whether you’re having a mini facelift, traditional facelift, or endoscopic facelift, the earlier you start preparing for plastic surgery, the better. Cosmetic procedures are generally scheduled several weeks in advance, and facelifts are no exception. If you haven’t already, the first step is to book an initial consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. After you’ve met with your doctor and scheduled your procedure, you can start getting ready for face surgery. Here’s how to prepare: 1. Adjust Medications and Supplements Talk to your surgeon and primary physician about any supplements and medications you may be taking. Some medicines can affect your recovery and potentially interfere with anesthesia, so you may have to temporarily adjust your medication regime to lower associated risks. 2. Stop Smoking Smoking, vaping, or using tobacco products can put you at risk of serious complications during and after surgery. Nicotine can decrease blood flow and slow the body’s healing process. Stop smoking at least four to six weeks before the procedure and refrain from smoking for at least four weeks after your facelift surgery. This will help minimize the risks of complications such as blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, and pneumonia. 3. Plan for Help Post-Surgery Facelift procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia, which means that you’ll need to arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery. It’s common to experience some grogginess and discomfort after the procedure, and the bandages used post-op may restrict your vision and motion. It’s also important to have someone who can stay with you and assist you with your daily tasks, especially childcare if needed, for a few days after the surgery. 4. Protect Your Skin Hydrating before face surgery — either by opting for a non-invasive facial like the Hydrafacial or by amping up your skin-care routine with a hydrating serum or moisturizer — will help your skin remain healthy and plump, which can promote faster healing after your procedure. Avoid excessive sun exposure and always wear SPF sunscreen, even indoors, to protect your skin from harmful UV rays up till the day of your procedure. Two to Three Weeks Before Your Facelift Procedure As your surgery date draws near, here are steps you should take to prepare for plastic surgery in the two to three weeks prior to the procedure: 1. Prepare Your Home Chances are you won’t feel like doing much in the days following your facelift. In the weeks leading up to your procedure, set up a cozy recovery nook in the room where you’re planning to spend most of your time for those first few days. Choose an area that’s close to a bathroom and has a comfortable bed or chair with pillows so you can rest with your head...

Every year in the United States, an average of 262,000 people get facelifts, making it one of the country's most popular cosmetic surgical procedures. A facelift can allow you to improve some of the issues that make you appear older than you are, including sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, facial fat loss, and much more.   If you’re considering getting a facelift, you may have many questions about the process and what you can expect from your results. Learn more about the procedure and get the answer to a widespread question: how long does a facelift last? How Is a Facelift Done?   Facelift surgery, also called a rhytidectomy, helps address sagging facial tissues by lifting and firming them. Your skin starts to lose elasticity, and facial tissues lose volume with age. These two issues combine to create sagging skin in the lower face and loose skin in the neck area.   The exact procedure will depend on your goals and what your surgeon recommends. You will usually be under general anesthesia. Your surgeon will make the first few incisions and separate the skin from the rest of the tissues. That allows the team to reposition the underlying structure to help you achieve the desired results.   Your surgeon can remove excess skin and readjust the rest so you can get a firmer and more youthful contour. How Long Does a Facelift Last: Factors To Consider Aside from "How long does a facelift take? ” this is one of the most common questions people have when considering whether to get the procedure. Many factors influence the answer.   Type of Procedure  The exact type of facelift you get will impact how long the results last. A standard facelift can offer results that last for anywhere from 10 to 20 years, while the results of a mini facelift can last a few years short of that.   How long does a lower facelift last? This kind of facelift typically lasts between 10 and 15 years.   Proper Maintenance  Following a rigorous skincare routine and doing everything in your surgeon’s guidelines for recovery can also significantly impact how long the results last. Staying out of the sun is particularly important because sun damage can age skin more rapidly.   Skin Condition and Genetics Your unique genetics and skin condition also play a role. Some people naturally have more resilient skin than others, leading to longer-lasting results. Whether there’s a good amount of elasticity left in your skin is also crucial.   Younger individuals with better skin conditions tend to enjoy facelift results for longer. That’s why the average age facelift recommendations are between 40 and 60 years.   How Long Does It Take to Heal From a Facelift? The process of healing from a facelift can be complex, and you need to have patience and follow all directions from your surgeon. During the first few days, you can expect to experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which you can manage with prescribed pain medication. The swelling will diminish after three to four days, but you’ll still experience lasting effects.   Most people feel well enough to do light work at the end of the second week of their recovery. You may have to go back to the surgeon during the third or fourth week to remove your stitches. You might experience some residual tightness and swelling, but you’ll likely feel more like yourself now. After about a month, you will almost return to normal, allowing you to enjoy your new look. Some people continue to experience very light swelling and tightness, but this is usually only noticeable to you and not to others. Does Plastic Surgery Last Forever? Average Age of Facelift Your facelift won’t last forever, but you can look forward to many years of excellent results. Learn more about the exact procedure you’re planning on having.   Traditional Facelift — 5-10 years  A traditional facelift typically lasts between five and 10 years. That’s why it’s a good idea to consider a facelift as a preventive measure against aging. If your facelift age is around 40 when you start, you can expect to need touch-ups every 10 years or so. That will help you to avoid the most severe aging issues. Skin-Only Facelift — 2-5 years  A skin-only facelift is one that only involves the skin, making it a more superficial option than some of the others. It doesn’t reposition or lift deeper layers of skin. That’s why results last between two and five years. Mini Facelift — 5-7 years  Mini facelifts generally last between five and seven years. It’s a type of procedure that is less invasive than other options because it involves the lower half of the face. Many people do it as part of a touch-up after having a standard facelift. SMAS Facelift — 10+ years  The SMAS facelift is a procedure that involves the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). The SMAS is a layer of connective tissues that support your facial structures. These procedures can offer results that last between seven and 10 years.   MACS Facelift — 5-7 years  MACS facelifts are a great option that requires minimal tissue dissection and incisions while still offering results that last for years. You can expect them to last five to seven years before needing a touchup. Deep Plane Facelift — 7-10 years A deep plane facelift is one of the options that offers the most long-lasting results. That’s because it tightens all of the layers of your facial tissues, not just the skin. Not only do the results last longer, but they also tend to be more natural-looking.   Is a Facelift Worth It: Tips for Extending Your Results Even though genetics and your skin’s condition impact how long your facelift results last, there are things you can do to improve and sustain the procedure’s outcome.   Keep Skin Clean and Well-Moisturized  During your recovery period and beyond, you want to pay close attention to your skin’s health. That means...

### 7 Common Plastic Surgery Myths You Should Stop Believing

> It’s easy to get misled by plastic surgery myths. ✓ This guide examines the top seven misconceptions about plastic surgery, separating fact from fiction.

There’s often a stigma attached to plastic surgery that stems from preconceived notions. These views often lead to the belief that it promotes vanity and perfectionism and is reserved for the wealthy.   Although far from the truth, these are only a few of many plastic surgery myths. They perpetuate the stereotypes associated with this surgical specialty and often overshadow the fact that some reconstructive procedures, such as breast reconstruction and cleft lip and palate repair, can positively impact patients’ lives. This article examines the top seven myths about plastic surgery and separates fact from fiction. Read on to learn more. Top 7 Myths About Plastic Surgery Plastic surgery is the only surgical specialty not confined to a single organ system. The procedures involved often fall into two categories — reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive surgery corrects issues due to congenital disabilities or caused by injury or illness. Cosmetic surgery helps to improve appearance. Knowing these basic facts about plastic surgery may be the best place to start when debunking well-known myths.   Here are a few other facts behind the most common plastic surgery myths that may surprise you. 1. Plastic Surgery is Only for Women A higher proportion of women, compared to men, opt for cosmetic surgery. However, an increasing number of men are turning to these procedures, driven by the belief that a youthful appearance can influence career advancement. Among the more sought-after surgeries for men is gynecomastia reduction, a procedure designed to reduce the size of enlarged breasts in men. Additionally, men frequently choose facial surgeries such as facelifts, rhinoplasty, and eyelid lifts. Despite this, the majority of men tend to prefer non-invasive procedures. These options are less noticeable and typically require minimal recovery time, making them a convenient choice for those who wish to avoid significant interruptions to their daily schedules. 2. Plastic Surgery Means Fake-Looking Results Many popular plastic surgery shows tend to feature extreme cases, which undoubtedly contributes to maintaining high viewer ratings. These cases often involve dramatic alterations or excessive enhancements, which are, in fact, atypical of standard cosmetic surgery procedures. Such portrayals have unfortunately fostered a widespread misconception that cosmetic surgery usually results in an unnatural appearance. Contrary to this belief, plastic surgeons are experts in their field, combining their extensive training and skill with innovative techniques to achieve outcomes that appear more natural and harmonious. Their work is less about dramatic transformations and more focused on enhancing and refining a patient's appearance in a subtle, yet impactful way. This approach underscores the artistic and precise nature of their profession, aiming to produce results that align closely with the realistic expectations and desires of their patients. 3. Plastic Surgery is Only for the Wealthy Plastic surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures, with costs varying significantly based on the complexity and extent of the surgery. Major surgical operations like tummy tucks and breast reductions can carry a price tag in the thousands of dollars. On the other hand, numerous cosmetic treatments are much more budget-friendly. For instance, microdermabrasion, a popular skin rejuvenation procedure, typically costs just over $100. Other procedures like laser hair removal, dermal fillers, and Botox injections are also relatively affordable, usually amounting to a few hundred dollars. Financial accessibility is an important aspect of plastic surgery. Recognizing this, many clinics and surgeons now offer various financing options, including flexible payment plans. These options make it easier for individuals to manage the expenses of more costly surgeries, making these procedures increasingly accessible to a broader audience. Additionally, the advent of cosmetic insurance marks a significant shift in the industry. This type of insurance covers treatments traditionally considered elective and not covered under standard health insurance plans. This development further enhances the accessibility of cosmetic procedures, allowing more people to avail themselves of these services without the burden of prohibitive costs. 4. Plastic Surgery is Always Cosmetic When discussing facts about cosmetic surgery, it's notable that approximately 1. 5 million cosmetic surgical procedures were performed last year. In addition, there were an astounding 23. 7 million minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. These high numbers contribute to the common perception that all plastic surgery is purely cosmetic. However, it's essential to recognize that over one million reconstructive procedures were also carried out during the same timeframe. These procedures, which included tumor removal, scar revision, hand surgery, breast reconstruction, and maxillofacial surgery, serve a dual purpose. While they can enhance one's appearance, their primary function is to restore or improve the functionality of body parts. Therefore, unlike purely aesthetic cosmetic surgery, these procedures are not considered cosmetic in nature. This distinction is crucial in understanding the entire scope and intent of plastic and reconstructive surgery practices. 5. Botox and Fillers are Plastic Surgery You may be wondering, “Is Botox considered plastic surgery? ” According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, cosmetic plastic surgery enhances and reshapes structures of the body to improve appearance and confidence. It includes surgical and non-surgical procedures. Botox and fillers are non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedures. Both are listed as minimally invasive types of cosmetic plastic surgery on the Society’s website.  Considering these procedures as a type of surgery is one of the myths about cosmetic surgery that continues to perplex many. However, it might be easier to understand when you consider the definition of surgery. It involves any instrumental technique that physically penetrates the body to investigate or treat conditions or improve appearance. 6. Plastic Surgery Effects Last Forever Another frequently asked question regarding plastic surgery is, “Does plastic surgery last forever? ” The durability of plastic surgery results varies and depends on several factors. While many procedures can offer long-lasting effects, the body's natural aging process inevitably influences their longevity. For instance, lifestyle choices significantly impact the enduring nature of these results. Excessive sun exposure, for example, can lead to premature aging of the skin, affecting the outcomes of skin-related surgeries. Similarly, smoking accelerates the aging process of the skin, potentially diminishing the lasting effects of...

Most people dream of having smooth, taut facial skin without undergoing complicated or invasive procedures. Recently, people have been paying a lot of attention to the idea of facial exercises to maintain the skin flexibility they want. Although facelift exercises have been around for a while, the results remain unclear. Do facial exercises to tighten skin actually work? 5 Quick and Easy Facelift Exercises There are several popular facelift exercises. Each one helps you target the areas you wish to improve.   1. Brow Raiser If you worry about your eyebrows beginning to droop, the brow raiser is one of the best facial exercises to try. Put your index and middle finger in a closed peace sign to perform it, and place your fingernails on your brows. Push the skin gently down. Lift your brows up and down 10 times. Repeat the process six times.   2. Cheek Squeeze For those who struggle with full cheeks and want a slimmer face, one exercise to consider is the cheek squeeze. To do it, tilt your head back and push your chin out. Suck your cheeks in as much as possible and hold the position for about five seconds. Try about 10 to 15 repetitions.   3. Puffer Fish Press Nasolabial folds, which appear around your nose and mouth, can be frustrating. The puffer fish press is an exercise that claims to help with this issue. Close your mouth and puff out your cheeks before moving air from one cheek to the other. Keep doing this for about 30 seconds.   4. Jaw Flex If you’ve always dreamed of having a toned jawline, this facial exercise might offer the chance to achieve that. Begin by tilting your head back to look up at the ceiling. Raise your bottom lip over your upper lip. You will feel the stretch of the muscles near your ears. Hold the position for about 15 seconds and repeat it 10 to 15 times.   5. Forehead Smoother The forehead smoother exercise might tighten the skin so wrinkles will have a harder time developing. First, frown as hard as possible and attempt to bring your eyebrows together. Then, lift your eyebrows as high as possible while opening your eyes widely. Repeat this five times. Do Facelift Exercises Work? Despite their popularity, there’s no clear evidence that even the best face exercises work. They may offer some results when you start doing them, but they don’t make a huge difference in the long run because they don’t impact the root cause of wrinkles or skin laxity. You won't see much difference if you look at facial exercises before and after pictures. People assume that performing cheek exercises can slim them. While exercises — even simple ones involving your cheeks— burn calories, they don’t necessarily help you change the areas you want. This concept is called spot reduction, and it doesn’t work in other areas of the body, either.   Many times, overworking your facial muscles to achieve wrinkle reduction might have the opposite effect. Your skin is flexible, so moving the facial muscles beneath it will pull on the skin and stretch it, not tighten it.   Consider how wrinkles form in the first place. Dynamic wrinkles, like smile or frown lines, appear because of excess facial muscle motion. Once your collagen and elastin production levels decrease, your skin is no longer as flexible as it was, so it can’t bounce back to its original location as quickly as it once did.   Face-lifting exercises just exacerbate that problem. That’s why so many people turn to options like neuromodulators, which prevent the muscles from moving so that the wrinkles no longer show.   Furthermore, performing facial exercises after facelift procedures is not a good option because you are just harming the results by letting the skin begin to stretch again. If you’re unsure about doing a facial exercise after facelift procedures, it is best not to do them. The Ultimate Solution: Facelift Surgery Before starting facial exercises or any new beauty routine, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist to ensure that they are safe and appropriate for your specific needs. Additionally, it's critical to manage expectations, as the results of facial exercises can vary, and they may provide a different level of improvement than surgical or medical treatments for specific facial concerns. The only surefire way to get rid of pockets of fat on your cheeks, wrinkles, and sagging skin is to have facelift surgery. As much as facial exercises may promise, they can’t compete with the facelift results. There are different types of facelift surgeries, each with varying levels of invasiveness, so finding the right procedure for you is easier than you may realize. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer an endoscopic mid-facelift that targets the area below your eyelids and down to your mouth. This type of facelift focuses on returning the curves and natural look of your cheeks. We reposition the tissues and fix them so they reattach to the bone. To do this, we rely on the Endotine device, which offers a natural look.   We also provide a Wave Lift or endoscopic facelift as an alternative treatment. The Wave Lift is minimally invasive, targeting muscles that have lost their firmness and pockets of excess fat on your face. For the procedure, we use tiny cameras that allow us to see under your skin and only require minimal incisions. The Wave Lift tightens the muscles without pulling or removing excess skin to give you a smoother look.   We also offer the SMAS Face & Neck Lift, which provides an extended facelift. Not only does it offer treatment for the lower areas of your face, but it also targets your forehead and eyelids. This layer of tissue and muscle runs from your ears to your neck and is responsible for much of the shifting as you age.   By lifting this collection of tissues and muscles with an SMAS Face &...

### Non-Surgical Face Lift: Freshen Your Look with Effective, Non-Invasive Procedures

Non-surgical face lifts, also called non-invasive face lifts, are an alternative to traditional facelifts and an option that is becoming more popular. They do not require the kind of downtime that a conventional facelift needs and do not necessitate patients to undergo surgery with anesthesia, which means that non-surgical face lifts are suitable for a wider group of people.   Let’s learn more about this procedure and how it differs from a traditional facelift (also spelled face lift).   What Is a Non-Surgical Face Lift? A non-surgical facelift uses minimally invasive or non-invasive cosmetic procedures to improve the way your facial skin looks. It can refresh and plump up your skin without requiring large incisions.   A face lift without surgery can be a good option for people who want to resolve some common facial issues, including: Shadows under the eyes Jowls Sagging skin Thin lips Sunken cheeks Wrinkles and fine lines A non-surgical face lift does not offer the same results as a traditional one, but it can be a good alternative for people who cannot go through surgery or don’t want such an elaborate procedure.   Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Facelift A surgical facelift involves incisions, as a surgeon cuts into your face strategically to move the skin, adjust the tissues beneath the skin, and move fat around, if necessary. You have the option of mini facelifts, which change the lower part of your face, or full facelifts, which tighten skin throughout your face. Either procedure provides dramatic and long-lasting results.   For a surgical facelift, you will receive general anesthesia. You might stay at a hospital overnight, and you should expect to spend several days recovering at home. Because this is an invasive surgery, you can expect to pay a premium for the procedure. A non-surgical face lift or natural face lift is less invasive and requires minimal recovery time. It doesn't require any incisions at all. Non-surgical face lift costs are also much more affordable. You can expect to start seeing results sooner, though they may not last as long as the results you would get from a surgical facelift.   How Do Non-Surgical Facelifts Work? The process begins when you come in for a consultation. We will assess your face and hear about your treatment goals. That will help us put together the appropriate procedure options. We will also ask about your medical history and whether you take any medications so that we can advise you on how to prepare for the procedure. Because it is not surgical and you do not need general anesthesia, preparing for this alternative to face lifts is usually not very difficult.   On the day of the procedure, we will ask you to come in without makeup or jewelry. You also want to stay out of the sun in the days leading up to your appointment. The exact way the procedure will take place will depend on the treatments you decide on. The length of the process will vary as well.   Once we finish the treatment, you are free to leave. You might want to take the day to rest, but there isn’t a lot of downtime for most of the non-surgical face lift procedures. You can usually start seeing results within a few days.   Types of Non-Surgical Facelifts There are many options for a non-surgical facelift, and you can combine the procedures you desire or only choose one option at a time.   Dermal Fillers Dermal fillers are injectables that contain substances like hyaluronic acid or gel to bring volume to the treatment area. These fillers can plump up your lips or fill in wrinkles. One of the best things about dermal fillers is that they usually last six months to a year, allowing you to enjoy your results for some time.   Botox Botox is one of the best non-surgical face lift options. These injectables are made from botulinum toxin, interrupting the signals your brain sends to your muscles to tell them to contract. Botox can diminish or eliminate wrinkles and fine lines, improving the appearance of crow’s feet, glabellar lines, and much more.   Laser Skin Resurfacing  A laser face lift is a treatment that uses beams of intense light to target areas on your face. The laser gently removes the outer layer of skin, allowing a newer layer to grow. The light can also stimulate collagen production. Some at-home face lift options that use laser therapy as well.   Chemical Peels Chemical peels remove the top layers of your skin. Different intensity levels are available, ranging from light to deep peels. Chemical peels can help reduce fine lines and shrink pores and help your skin create collagen so that the new layer of skin looks fresher and healthier.   Microneedling Microneedling involves using very thin needles to make tiny wounds on your face. These wounds trigger your body’s healing mechanism, helping it create healthier skin. Microneedling can help with wrinkles, sun damage, large pores, and other skin concerns.   Pros and Cons of Non-Surgical Face Lifts When deciding whether non-surgical facelifts are the right option, it’s a good idea to look at non-surgical face lift before-and-after pictures and carefully consider the pros and cons of this treatment.   Pros Non-surgical facelifts are minimally invasive. You don’t have to worry about incisions or general anesthesia.   You also don’t have to stress about a long recovery time. Not everyone can afford to take weeks off to recover from a major surgery. Non-surgical facelifts allow you to return to regular activity without significant downtime.   The procedures are fast. If you are getting Botox in several areas, you can expect only about 30 minutes of treatment. Even for other procedures that take a bit longer, like chemical peels, you don’t have to worry about being at our location for more than a couple of hours.   Non-surgical facelifts are also more affordable. You don’t have to spend a fortune to get results you can be happy...

What to Expect & if Insurance Will Cover It  After working hard to achieve weight loss goals, it's no wonder people feel frustrated when they see loose, sagging skin that reminds them they still have a long way to go. This is why many people turn to skin removal surgery to help remove this excess skin and feel more confident in their appearance.   There is not a one-size-fits-all solution, though. There are various options available to consider and a range of questions that need answering before a person can even think about scheduling this surgery for themselves. Anyone considering skin removal surgery should keep reading to learn all there is to know about skin removal surgery after weight loss. Skin Removal Surgery After Weight Loss Skin removal surgery after weight loss involves removing excess skin from areas of the body that have had significant weight loss. This surgery is usually performed in individuals who have lost a large amount of weight, either by bariatric surgery or through diet and exercise, and who want to remove excess skin that is left behind. It can be performed on the abdomen, arms, back, breasts, buttocks, face, and thighs, though it's most often desired for the stomach area.   The goal of skin removal surgery after weight loss is to restore the body's original shape and contours while also removing any excess skin that is hanging or stretched out. People can expect to have an improved and more youthful appearance after the surgery. It should help the person feel confident and comfortable in their skin like never before.   How Long Does the Surgery Take? Depending on the extent of the surgery, skin removal surgery can take anywhere from one to eight hours. This time can be longer or shorter depending on the number of areas the patient wants to have treated and the type of procedure selected. Who is a Candidate for Skin Removal Surgery After Weight Loss? Skin removal surgery after weight loss can be considered for those who have lost significant weight and who have had difficulty getting rid of excess skin. The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery recommends only those who have maintained their weight loss over the last 6 months or more get this surgery. If a person's weight is still regularly fluctuating, it may not be a good idea. The person also needs to be in overall good health and have time to take off work for the recovery process. Who Should Not Have This Surgery? Individuals may not qualify for this type of surgery if they are not currently in good health. As with any type of surgery, complications can arise. Those who feel ill or have certain medical conditions need to discuss this with the surgeon to determine whether it prohibits them from the process or not.   Types of Skin Removal Surgery There are three main types of skin removal surgery: Upper Body Contouring Upper body contouring surgery includes a breast lift and brachioplasty (arm lift). This surgery can help improve the shape and appearance of the breasts and arms after weight loss. Real Results from a Breast Lift. See more in our Before and After Gallery. Lower Body Contouring Lower body contouring surgery includes a tummy tuck, thigh lift, and buttock lift. This surgery can help remove excess fat and skin from the abdominal, thigh, and buttock areas to reshape the lower body. Full Body Lift A full body lift occurs when all of the above procedures are performed at once. It is an extensive surgery, and recovery time can take six weeks to three months.   Real Results from Liposuction, and BodyTite. See more in our Before and After Gallery. Benefits of Skin Removal Surgery After Weight Loss The benefits of skin removal surgery after weight loss include improved self-image and increased confidence. Skin removal surgery can help improve the appearance of the body, making it look firmer and more youthful. It can also improve posture and help with weight management by keeping the skin tight and close to the body. Risks and Complications of Skin Removal Surgery All surgical procedures involve some risks and complications, but with skin removal surgery after weight loss, these risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, poor healing, and other potential complications. Some people may also have an increased risk of complications associated with their medical history or age. Recovery and Aftercare for Skin Removal Surgery Patients should expect to stay in the hospital for a few days after their surgery. During recovery, patients should rest, limit their activity, take prescribed medications, and avoid excessive sun exposure. They should also wear supportive garments and keep the dressing clean and dry. How Long Is The Recovery Process? Recovery time can vary from person to person, but generally, patients should expect to take off four to six weeks from work. Full recovery can take several months, and during that time, patients should stick to low-impact activities, such as walking and light exercise. Vigorous activities are not recommended. Cost of Skin Removal Surgery After Weight Loss The cost of skin removal surgery after weight loss can vary depending on various factors, such as the body part being treated, the amount of skin being removed, the type of procedure being performed, and the geographical location. Generally, the cost of a full-body lift can range from $15,000 to $30,000.   Will Insurance Cover Skin Removal Surgery After Weight Loss? Insurance coverage for skin removal surgery after weight loss can vary depending on the individual's insurance plan and the policy's coverage for this type of procedure. Some insurance plans cover skin removal surgery after weight loss if it is medically necessary, while other plans may cover part or all of the cost of the procedure. Medicare, for example, may allow it if medically necessary, but it will require prior authorization. It is always best for people to check with their insurance provider to determine what is covered and what isn't.   WAVE Can Help...

### How to Get Perkier Breasts

> How to get perkier breasts? We'll tell you your natural, non-surgical, and surgical options to achieve the results that you are looking for.

There are a number of options available to people looking for perkier breasts. These range from natural health solutions to surgical and non-surgical treatments. In this article, we'll cover the most popular and time-tested methods to achieve perkier breasts. It's helpful to start with an overview of what causes breast sagging. Then we’ll cover how to get perkier breasts naturally before outlining various non-surgical and surgical interventions available to achieve the results that you are looking for. Causes of Breast Sagging Aging is essentially the major cause of breast sagging. Specifically, bands of tissue called Cooper's ligaments are primarily responsible for holding breast tissues upright. These, and their surrounding tissues, gradually weaken over time, causing the breasts to lower as they become less firm and elastic. An individual's overall health also affects how quickly or slowly breast tissues lose elasticity. Weight loss, especially after major weight gain, also plays a role, as does pregnancy and heredity. During pregnancy, the breasts naturally enlarge and stretch due to a range of hormonal factors. Depending on how much they enlarge, the breasts can begin sagging as they return to their previous size. Genetics also impacts how well the breasts maintain their shape over time. Whatever the cause, there are ways to at least somewhat mitigate lost breast tissue elasticity, such as: Regularly applying high-quality moisturizers Using SPF 30 or higher sunscreen on sunny days Certain exercises and nutritional support (as explained further below) No matter what life events or preconditions are at play, the following interventions will help women learn how to naturally get perkier breasts. There are highly effective non-surgical treatments—and surgical enhancement methods for perkier breasts are now more effective than ever. Natural Ways to Get Perkier Breasts At any age, nutrition is a foundational factor in maintaining what perkiness you still have. Collagen is particularly noteworthy for its role in skin elasticity. Without sufficient collagen levels, the skin quickly loses its youthful buoyancy. Skin will then gradually lose the ability to retain its natural shape, especially with repeated stretching. Collagen can greatly help improve overall skin tone, and vitamin E also improves overall skin health. Other vital nutrients for perkier breasts include foods that increase estrogen and phytoestrogens while reducing testosterone imbalance. These include: Cruciferous vegetables Flax and sesame seeds Organic soy Healthy fats (such as avocados) Manganese-containing foods, such as fresh seafood Dairy, which contains the hormones estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin Cruciferous Vegetables include Arugula, Bok choy, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Collard Greens, Kale, Radishes, Rutabaga, Turnips, and Watercress. Nutrition alone won't create perkier breasts, but it will slow breast tissue breakdown, which is hard to recover. Apart from dietary interventions, you can also improve nutrient flow to the breasts through hydrotherapy. Try this at the end of your showers: Rinse your breasts with warm water for around a minute to soften the tissues and improve blood flow Now rinse them in cold water for about half a minute—this squeezes toxins out of the pecs and tones the skin Notice how much tighter the skin has become, and apply moisturizer while the skin is still slightly moist Bra choice can also impact breast tissues, for better or worse. Some studies suggest excessively supportive bras increase sagging. The theory is that they allow the muscles that support the breasts to atrophy gradually. The wearer may feel more dependent on the bras, creating a self-defeating cycle. We recommend treating yourself to a professional bra fitting at a high-quality lingerie store. It will help you immediately feel more confident, beautiful, and comfortable. As for strengthening breast tissues, exercise has many benefits and little-to-no drawbacks. Strengthening the pectorals, such as through push-ups and dumbbell presses, keeps the breasts lifted and perkier. Some women claim breast massage further tones breast muscles, tendons, and myofascial tissues. Overall body alignment exercises also help by improving posture, keeping the breasts from habitually hanging downward. Look for exercises that counteract a hunched forward position, especially if you spend a lot of time on your phone or a computer. Non-Surgical Methods for Perkier Breasts If you need a stronger method to achieve perkier breasts, there are several effective non-surgical methods, including: Laser therapy for non-invasive breast lifts Radiofrequency treatment to tighten the skin Injectables—a faster and less invasive (although shorter-term) alternative to surgical breast lifts Depending on the extent of the procedure, non-surgical methods are minimally invasive. They usually result in smaller, even nonexistent scars, along with shorter recovery times. BodyTite is a type of radiofrequency treatment that can be used on the breasts. The BodyTite device emits radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen. Real WAVE results from BodyTite. See more in our Before and After Gallery. Surgical Methods for Perkier Breasts Breast implants are one of the most widely known surgical methods for breast enhancement. It involves implanting silicone shells filled with saline or silicone material, each with its own advantages: Silicone implants more accurately replicate the feel of human fat, but they require larger incisions. Silicone also isn't absorbed into the body in the case of injury that ruptures the implant. Saline implants are easier to place inside the breast, and they're safer if the contents leak into the body. However, it's necessary to fill saline implants fully to avoid noticeable "sloshing" effects. This can make them more difficult to shape as easily as silicone implants. Fat transfers are another common surgical method for achieving perkier breasts. First, a plastic surgeon uses liposuction to remove fat from one part of the body—most often the stomach, back, thighs, or buttocks. This fat can then be transferred to the woman's own breasts. Doing so requires processing the fat into a liquid, which is easier to inject and mold into the desired shape. Fat transfers can be used to either fill out smaller areas or fill out the breasts more voluminously. Because they use the body's own naturally occurring tissues, fat transfers are sometimes preferred methods for surgical breast enhancement. Breast lifts are often recommended for sagging breasts.

As we age, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can be a source of frustration and self-consciousness. Fortunately, cosmetic treatments like Botox and Xeomin can help reduce the appearance of these lines and wrinkles, restoring a more youthful and refreshed look. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer both Botox and Xeomin treatments to help our patients achieve their desired results. In this article, we'll explore the differences between these two treatments and help you decide which option is right for you. What is Botox? Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses a purified form of botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles and fine lines. The treatment is most commonly used to reduce the appearance of frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles. Botox treatments typically take just a few minutes and involve minimal discomfort. Results are typically visible within 3-7 days and can last for up to 6 months. What is Xeomin? Like Botox, Xeomin is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses botulinum toxin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. However, Xeomin differs from Botox in that it is a "naked" form of the toxin, meaning it does not contain any additives or proteins. This can make Xeomin a good choice for patients who have developed antibodies to Botox or who are looking for a more natural treatment option. Xeomin treatments are also quick and minimally invasive, with results typically visible within 3-7 days and last for up to 6 months. Choosing Between Botox and Xeomin When deciding between Botox and Xeomin, there are a few key factors to consider. First and foremost, it is important to choose a qualified and experienced injector who can help you determine which treatment is right for you based on your individual needs and goals. In addition, you should consider your medical history and any medications you are taking. Certain medical conditions and medications can make you a less suitable candidate for these treatments, so it is important to discuss these factors with your provider. Ultimately, the choice between Botox and Xeomin will come down to your personal preferences and goals. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve their desired results with the highest level of safety and care. Benefits of Botox and Xeomin In addition to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Botox and Xeomin offer a range of potential benefits. These include: Both Botox and Xeomin offer a range of benefits beyond reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. For example, both treatments can be used to treat medical conditions such as migraines, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating. In addition, Botox has been shown to have potential benefits for those suffering from depression. Studies have shown that Botox injections can help alleviate symptoms of depression by reducing the activity in the frown muscles, which are linked to negative emotions. Similarly, Xeomin may have potential benefits for those suffering from certain medical conditions. For example, a recent study found that Xeomin injections can help alleviate symptoms of cervical dystonia, a condition that causes involuntary muscle contractions in the neck. For more real WAVE results, see our Before and After Gallery The Risks and Side Effects of Botox and Xeomin While Botox and Xeomin are generally safe treatments, they do carry some risks and side effects. Some of the most common side effects of both treatments include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own within a few days. More serious side effects are rare but can occur. These include difficulty breathing, muscle weakness, and vision problems. If you experience any of these symptoms after receiving a Botox or Xeomin injection, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Frequently Asked Questions How long do Botox and Xeomin treatments last? Both Botox and Xeomin treatments typically last between 3-6 months, depending on the individual and the area being treated. Are Botox and Xeomin painful? Most patients report minimal discomfort during Botox and Xeomin injections. However, our injectors may offer a topical anesthetic to help reduce any discomfort. Can Botox and Xeomin be used together? Yes, Botox and Xeomin can be used together to achieve optimal results. How long does it take to see results from Botox and Xeomin? Results from Botox and Xeomin injections are typically visible within 3-7 days, with full results appearing within 2 weeks. Are Botox and Xeomin safe? Both Botox and Xeomin are FDA-approved treatments that have been used for many years with a high safety record. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks and side effects that you should be aware of. WAVE Plastic Surgery Can Help Botox and Xeomin are both effective treatments for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While they share many similarities, there are also some key differences that you should be aware of before deciding which treatment is right for you. When choosing between Botox and Xeomin, consider factors such as your medical history, your preferences, and your aesthetic goals. Both treatments are generally safe and effective, but it is important to choose a qualified and experienced injector to ensure the best possible results. WAVE's team of expert providers can help you determine which treatment is best for you and your unique beauty needs. Remember, while Botox and Xeomin can help you achieve a more youthful appearance, they are not a substitute for good skin care practices such as wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated. By combining these practices with cosmetic treatments, you can help maintain a youthful and healthy appearance for years to come. Schedule a consultation with one of our experienced providers today in Los Angeles, Orange County, or San Francisco.

As a person ages, the outward signs become obvious in the face and hands. Recent studies show that around 75 percent of women believe that their confidence is based on the way that their skin looks. Spa facials have become popular, and Allure magazine recommends getting a facial once a month. While spa facials can provide a relaxing experience and offer immediate, short-term benefits, they won't offer lasting benefits to a person's facial skin. A person who faces unwanted blemishes, dried patches, fine lines, and wrinkles want a more concrete solution, and a medical-grade facial might be the answer.   This guide explores medical-grade facials, including types and benefits:  What Are Medical Grade Facials? A spa facial helps a person relax and cleanses their skin, while a medical-grade facial is a treatment for certain skin conditions and to correct imperfections in the person's skin. A medical-grade facial is typically customized to the patient's skin type and the results they want.   During a medical-grade facial, the serums, creams, and lotions used on the skin can be prescription-grade. This means that a doctor must oversee the facial to prescribe the use of these products, although someone in the doctor's office might perform parts of the facial.   Someone, who is used to getting spa facials, may find the experience of a medical-grade facial varies wildly from one performed at a spa. The setting of a doctor's office versus a spa will be one of the most obvious.   The medical-grade facial might target specific areas of the face where treatment is needed, while a spa facial covers the entire face equally. During a medical-grade facial, the treatment isn't only surface-deep. The treatment goes below the epidermis or the outermost layer of skin. Between the prescription products and detailed work, the benefits of a medical-grade spa can be enjoyed and visible much longer than a spa facial. These facials need to be performed regularly to maintain the results. Types of Medical Grade Facials The types of medical-grade facials available can vary from one medical practice to another. Some of the most common types of medical-grade facials include: Medical peel: This is also referred to as a glycolic peel, and most spas offer a form of glycolic peel. However, a medical-grade facial will feature a peel with up to 70 percent glycolic acid, helping it strip away dead skin and reveal the natural skin underneath the imperfections. At a spa, the percentage of glycolic acid is around 30 percent. Dermaplaning: A highly skilled technician takes a small blade to targeted areas of the face. This can remove dead skin and acne scars to reveal fresh skin underneath. This treatment is usually provided in conjunction with a medical peel.   Hydrating facial: This facial begins with a thorough cleansing of the face and a light chemical peel. Light extraction removes blemishes and other imperfections in the skin. The final step uses hydration to nourish and replenish the skin. The types of creams, lotions, and serums used depend on the person's skin and needs.   A person interested in a medical-grade facial can discuss their goals and outcome with a provider to determine the type of medical-grade facial that is right for them.   Types of Medical Grade Facials at WAVE Wave Plastic Surgery offers several different types of medical-grade facials tailored to the specific needs of our patients. Some of these treatments include: Hydrafacial While there are a number of facials out there, none of them even come close to a HydraFacial. Patients describe their HydraFacial experience as transformative, relaxing, and soothing. Honestly, once you’ve tried HydraFacial, it will be tough to go back to traditional facials. Unlike some other facial treatments that limit the scope of what they provide, the HydraFacial offers a complete treatment that includes a cleanse, exfoliation, and hydration of the skin. More about Hydrafacial See more real WAVE Results in our Before and After Gallery Valmont Facials Valmont Cosmetics is a truly unique luxury skincare brand that was born in Switzerland. Only a handful of the most elite plastic surgeon practices and luxury boutique skincare retailers are licensed to sell Valmont Cosmetics products and provide Valmont facials, and we are honored to be among them. Witness fine lines and wrinkles diminish after receiving this intensive anti-aging facial. Ingredients in the products work together to fill in creases and plump up skin that has lost volume caused by aging. Expect your skin to look more firm, volumized, and youthful. More about Valmont Facials Cure Peel The Cure Peel is painless and optimized for all skin types. The peel solution utilizes a combination of Salicylic Acid and Trichloroacetic Acid, as well as a patented blend of essential nutrients and moisturizers. These elements work to fight against the effects of aging, sun damage, acne, and other facial skin issues. The Cure Peel treatment takes less than 30 minutes to undergo, and the results can be seen almost immediately. In the first few days following the treatment, your facial skin will begin to flake and peel. More about Cure Peel Benefits of Medical Grade Facials Before finding a treatment center that offers medical-grade facials, the person wants to know that there are definite benefits to the procedure. Medical-grade facials are more targeted than a facial from a spa, so that the benefits can vary depending on the targeted treatment.   Here are a few of the benefits to consider: The person can see improved brightness in their skin, giving it a younger, glowing look. The improvements to the skin and minimization of imperfections will last longer than a facial from a spa. Fully hydrated and nourished skin. This type of facial can boost the effects of other medical procedures, such as fillers and laser treatments. Improving the appearance of sun damage on the skin.   Acne scars and other blemishes can become almost imperceptive.   Improved tightness of facial skin that reduces the look of wrinkles and fine lines.

When a woman has larger, full breasts, their weight can create additional stress on the body and cause aches and pains. Some women experience back, neck, and shoulder pain due to the larger size of their breasts. It can also be challenging for a person with larger breasts to find bras that fit, and tops and sweaters can fit off-kilter. Running and playing sports become more challenging and increase the discomfort felt. A breast reduction procedure is not always done just for weight loss but because large breasts can present challenges for women.   Sometimes, a woman whose entire life is affected by her larger breast size will consider breast reduction surgery to lessen the mass of the breast. Insurance will pay for breast reduction surgery in some instances, depending on the circumstances. Not every woman with large breasts is an ideal candidate. It is essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if you are a good candidate for breast reduction. There are various factors taken into consideration for people seeking a breast reduction procedure. The professional staff at Wave Plastic Surgery can help you determine if a breast reduction is right for you.   How To Qualify For Breast Reduction No set breast size qualifies or disqualifies a person for breast surgery or disqualifies their health insurance from paying for the surgery. For insurance to cover breast reduction, it must be medically necessary and not for cosmetic reasons alone.   However, women come in all shapes and sizes. For example, a woman who stands 5'11" tall would have much heavier breasts than one who is 5'3" tall when they wear the same cup size. Schnur Sliding Scale Over the years, insurance companies have come up with a way to determine when a person's breasts are large enough to qualify for coverage. In the United States, most health insurance companies use the Schnur Sliding Scale to determine if breast reduction is medically necessary.   The Schnur Sliding Scale looks at the ratio between the weight of breast tissue that needs to be removed during the surgery to the total body surface area of the person. While the Schnur Sliding Scale is important in the decision of an insurance company, they do look at other factors.   For a woman to easily qualify using the Schnur Sliding Scale, she needs to be above the 22nd percentile. This is usually the cut-off point for the procedure being medically necessary, but other factors can play a part. If a woman is in or below the fifth percentile, it's almost always considered a cosmetic procedure. For women between the fifth and 22nd percentile, the insurance company can consider other factors before making a final decision.   What Factor Does Age Play in Qualifying for Breast Reduction Surgery?   A surgeon will perform breast reduction surgery on almost any aged woman. However, these surgeries are performed on women who have completed puberty and whose breasts have reached their full size. Most insurance companies won't approve breast reduction for young ladies under the age of 15, and some companies have an age requirement of at least 16 years old. Some doctors may use the Tanner Stages, or Sexual Maturity Rating (SMR), to determine if the person has reached their growth potential.   The surgeon, patient, and insurance company don't want the person to need another breast reduction in the future because they weren't done growing. Although the insurance companies assign an age, the doctor will examine the young woman to determine if she's done growing.   If the doctor feels like the person isn't done growing breast tissue, they may postpone the idea of surgery for a few months or a couple of years. This postponement can be frustrating, but it's what's best for the patient and their overall well-being.   For older women, there isn't a specific age at which they're no longer candidates for breast reduction. It's important to consider the person's overall health and determine if the person is healthy enough to undergo surgery.   What Other Factors to Qualify for Breast Reduction? To qualify for insurance to cover breast reduction surgery, a person must meet some other qualifications. There are also additional factors for a person considering breast reduction to weigh before making a decision.   Here are some factors that need to be considered: Health issues created by larger breasts and documented by a doctor, such as: Pain in the neck, shoulders, and back Skin rashes and infections Permanent indentations in the shoulders from bra straps Nerve compression can be pinpointed to the weight of the breasts The person has tried alternative treatments to minimize the health issues The detailed medical history of the patient In some cases, larger breasts can affect the person's ability to play sports or take part in everyday activities. History of breast cancer in the family Current and past use of tobacco If a person needs to or plans to lose a significant amount of weight, it's best to do this before breast reduction surgery. The amount of breast tissue that needs to be removed The person’s overall quality of life Many of these qualifications need to be met to get an insurance company to cover the procedure. In the case of medical issues, the patient needs a letter from their doctor who documents a history of medical issues connected with the size of the breasts. For an insurance company to cover breast reduction surgery, they usually expect over 12 ounces of breast tissue to be removed. A lower reduction of breast material is typically considered a breast lift and won't be covered. However, these are all guidelines and not hard and fast numbers.   Learn More About Breast Reduction With Wave Plastic Surgery Even when a person qualifies for breast reduction surgery, they need to carefully choose the right course for themselves. They need to start by sitting down with a doctor and their team to discuss the qualifications, their situation, the...

### Choosing Breast Implants vs. Fat Transfer

Breast augmentation can be completed in three ways. You can get silicone or saline-filled breast implants or receive a fat transfer from another part of your body. The method you choose will be entirely up to you, though there are some factors to consider before determining which is best.   What is Breast Fat Transfer? Breast fat transfer is a procedure that transfers fat cells from one area of the body to the breasts. Using liposuction, a plastic surgeon suctions fat from another body part.   It's generally taken from one of four places: The stomach The back The buttocks The thighs The fat is then processed into a liquid, making it easier to inject into the natural breast tissue. Some may receive a minimal amount to simply fill out lumpy or crooked spots, while others will require a lot more to increase breast size and fill out the chest completely.   What are the Differences Between Saline and Silicone Breast Implants? If you decide to get implants, you need to know the difference between the saline and silicone materials that are used for the filling. Saline implants start with an outer silicone shell that gets inserted by itself. Then, the surgeon fills that shell with a saline solution. It requires a smaller incision and is often less costly. Silicone implants require a larger incision, but they often have a more natural feel to them because they are intended to replicate the feeling of human fat. Some people complain that saline implants have an audible sloshing sound like water inside, and they feel more firm compared to natural breasts because they need to be filled fully to avoid this noise.   Both versions can rupture, but saline is safer because the body can absorb the solution. There is less chance of health implications due to a rupture than there would be with silicone implants.   Which type of Augmentation Causes More Scarring? When comparing breast fat transfer vs. implants, it's wise to consider the amount of scarring one procedure may leave over the other. When you receive breast implants, you will only have mild scarring of the breasts from where the cuts were made. Over time, the scarring should fade well, so it becomes hardly noticeable. You may think that a fat transfer would cause more scarring since the procedure involves two separate areas of your body. However, fat transfer uses injections rather than cuts. This means a fat transfer procedure leaves virtually no scarring at all. Either option is a worthwhile choice. Is Fat Transfer More Natural Looking? Generally, fat transfer is more natural looking. This is because the breasts are only changed slightly, improving uneven spots and enhancing the cup size by one. However, even implants can look natural if you use the right filling and choose a more natural teardrop shape compared to a round one.   Are There Disadvantages to Receiving a Fat Transfer? Some people worry that a fat transfer may cause problems for the breasts down the line. Fat necrosis, cysts, and cancer are risks. However, when performed by a qualified surgeon and done in small increments over time, the procedure is safe and effective.   There is also the possibility that some of the fat that gets transferred will take hold differently than intended. It can get reabsorbed into the body quickly or may even get reabsorbed later down the road, requiring a repeated process. This makes it more of a temporary solution than implants, which can last many years.   See more real WAVE Results in our Before & After Gallery Pros & Cons: Breast Implants vs. Fat Transfer One reason you may choose breast implants vs. fat transfer is the size of change you're hoping to see. Breast implants may be a more viable option if you want to increase your cup size significantly. There is a wider variety of size choices with implants than you get with fat transfer.   On the other hand, if you would like to make small changes only or only want to go up one size, then fat transfer is your best solution. It can change your breasts slightly without being too dramatic of a difference.   Fat transfer also allows you to retain the sensation in your breasts and nipples. Implants are more likely to cause you to lose feeling, especially if the incision is made near the nipples for the type of reconstruction you require. However, not all sensation is lost, and some people may experience no loss whatsoever, making either option a good choice.   Are you a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation? Before deciding which breast augmentation procedure you would like to receive, you need to know if you're a good candidate for a procedure like this. People who are not yet over the age of 18 should not alter their breasts. It is also not advised to have a related surgery if you are under or overweight and fall into an unhealthy BMI range. Pregnant and breastfeeding parents should also wait to have breast augmentation performed. Those who smoke are not qualified, either.   You are only a good candidate for breast augmentation if: You are over 18. You maintain a healthy weight. You are not currently pregnant. You are not currently breastfeeding. You do not smoke. Furthermore, individuals may not be approved for breast fat transfer, specifically if they do not have enough body fat overall. If there is minimal fat to transfer from one area of the body to another, the procedure will be ineffective. Individuals with a lower BMI may qualify for implants but not a transfer.

### Facial Aging: Common Signs &amp; Treatment

Facial aging occurs in everyone and often appears with creases and wrinkles. However, treatments can help slow down or reverse the signs of facial aging.

As you get older, your face may start to give you away. Unfortunately, the aging process can introduce significant changes in the appearance of the face. Signs of facial aging can be distressing for many who want to keep looking young and fresh for as long as possible.   As skin matures, years of sun exposure can take a toll on appearance. Fortunately, there are aging skin treatments that can help you continue to look your best. 1. Creases or Wrinkles on the Brow and Forehead Creases or wrinkles around the brow are some of the first signs of aging on the face, and they may crop up before you realize it. You may develop permanent creases along those points if you regularly concentrate heavily. Tightening the skin around those areas can help reduce the appearance of both fine and deep wrinkles. Luckily, there are numerous skin-tightening methods and treatments available that can effectively change the surface of the skin and diminish the visibility of wrinkles. These solutions offer a range of options to help restore a more youthful and vibrant appearance. 2. Wrinkles Around the Eyes The development of crow's feet, or wrinkles around the eyes, often occurs as the skin ages. While crow's feet can be a product of too much time squinting into the sun or at a hard-to-read text, they can also appear as laugh lines, deepening the lines that appear as you smile or laugh. Wrinkles around the eyes are frequently an early sign of aging. Treatment, however, can help reduce the appearance of those wrinkles and help you feel young again. 3. Lines Around the Mouth Smile lines, or lines around the mouth, might celebrate moments of joy, but they can also serve as a reminder of aging. As those lines deepen, you may become increasingly frustrated with them. Skin-tightening treatments can help improve the appearance of those fine lines around the mouth, letting you keep the joy without the wrinkles. These treatments are effective in reducing the visual impact of wrinkles caused by aging and repeated facial expressions. 4. Fat Accumulation Often, as you age, you start to accumulate fat along the jawline as you age. Fat accumulation at the jawline can remind you uncomfortably of the challenges accompanying aging. Several treatments, including radio frequency tightening, can help deal with fat accumulations around the neck and help restore a more youthful appearance.   5. Sagging Cheeks As you age, your skin naturally becomes less elastic. On the face, that often starts with sagging cheeks, which may gradually become more evident as your skin loses its elasticity. Sagging cheeks can be relieved by various methods, including face contouring, which can help you feel more confident about your appearance as you age.   6. Loose Skin on the Neck Loose skin on the neck, also known as turkey neck, can leave you feeling out of sorts. As your skin loses elasticity when you age, you may find that the skin on your neck grows looser and starts to sag. Some people will note neck sagging before noticing apparent signs of aging in the face, especially if they have a skincare routine that does not include the neck. Treating Signs of Facial Aging For many people, signs of facial aging can become increasingly distressing. Remove those signs, smooth the wrinkles away, and return to your former appearance when possible. Fortunately, several strategies can be provided to reduce visible signs of facial aging. They often involve a range of services, each playing a crucial role in rejuvenating the skin and restoring a youthful appearance. Skin Tightening Treatments Anti-aging facials are a convenient, non-surgical way to treat a variety of wrinkles and other signs of aging skin. These non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments can help restore and retain a more youthful appearance. A few of the best treatments for aging skin include: Ultherapy, which uses ultrasound energy to stimulate facial tissue and increase the production of collagen Accutite which helps tighten the skin around the brow InMode uses radio frequency tightening to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and facial wrinkles and may help tighten skin Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency treatments and microneedling to help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Morpheus8 can also help reduce hyperpigmentation, including reducing dark spots. Skincare tightening treatments can help reduce many common signs of an aging face, including forehead wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage around the mouth and eyes.   See more real WAVE Results in our Before and After Gallery! Face Contouring Many of the signs of aging around the face can be reduced by face contouring. Face contouring allows you to sculpt your jaw, chin, and cheeks, including a precision lift, which helps correct jowls or reduce the appearance of a "turkey neck. " A precision lift is a surgical procedure, which means that it may have a longer recovery time. Still, it can also significantly aid in treating the apparent signs of facial aging, including sagging skin and dead skin cells around the neck, and increased fat in the jawline. See more real WAVE Results in our Before and After Gallery! Injectable Treatments When many people think of injectable treatments to help with aging, they may first think of Botox. Botox is ideal for treating crow’s feet, or the wrinkles that develop at the sides of the eyes, as well as addressing frown lines caused by the effects of aging. Botox helps relax the muscles beneath the skin that pull and fold the skin to show your expressions. As a result, it will soften your expressions and decrease lines on the face. Dermal fillers like Radiesse can also serve as a great way to eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen production may decline significantly as you age, leaving you with more wrinkles and lines at the corners of the eyes, in the forehead, and more. Dermal fillers can help stimulate collagen production and make it easier to deal with sagging brows or sunken or...

### Choosing the Right Procedure: Fillers vs. Thread Lifts

Wrinkles and lines are natural results of aging. However, that doesn't mean people have to accept them.   While it's impossible to stop aging altogether, it is possible to use aesthetic treatments to reduce the appearance of aging on the skin and face. This is excellent news for anyone who wants to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles while helping their skin look brighter and more youthful. Looking more youthful can help with self-confidence. In addition, studies have shown that people have more positive perceptions of people who look youthful versus those who show visible signs of aging.   The good news is that surgery is no longer a requirement for those who want to look younger. People can use non-invasive procedures to tighten and lift the skin. Two popular outpatient anti-aging aesthetic treatments are dermal fillers and thread lifts. This article will describe each treatment and who should consider getting them. Spoiler: it is possible to get both types of treatments to achieve the natural, youthful look many people want. What is a Thread Lift? A thread lift is a procedure that uses temporary sutures to subtly "lift" the skin. It's a popular alternative to a facelift, which is a more invasive surgical procedure. In contrast to a facelift, which surgically removes loose facial skin, a thread lift temporarily suspends the skin before disappearing entirely. The result of a thread lift is a subtle but noticeable lift in the facial skin. A thread lift procedure is minimally invasive and helps tighten the skin. The face and neck will appear tighter and, therefore, more youthful after getting a thread lift.   In addition to making the skin appear tighter and more youthful, this procedure invokes the body's natural healing response, releasing collagen to areas that have been treated. Collagen helps tissue stay strong and resilient. The human body naturally produces collagen, but its levels reduce through aging. In addition, pollution and other environmental exposures can damage collagen fibers, leading to additional wrinkles.   A thread lift can help keep skin looking youthful and taught after treatment by stimulating collagen production. In fact, the goal is for the body to be able to recreate the appearance of a thread lift on its own after the threads have dissolved. Many people are turning to thread lifts instead of facelifts because they are less invasive and require less downtime. It is possible to return to work immediately after a thread lift (although many people choose to take the day off). In contrast, a facelift typically requires one or two weeks of recovery and healing. At WAVE, we have optimized the typical Thread Lift Procedure with the Flash Lift. Our anti-aging specialists have improved the thread lift process by using technologically advanced threads made of polydioxanone (also known as PDO). These threads are expertly placed in the skin which provides a natural-looking, tightening, and lifting effect on the face. Thread Lift Before and After Photos See More Real WAVE Results in our Before and After Gallery What Are PDO Threads?   The threads that are used to treat the face and neck are polydioxanone threads, also known as PDO threads. PDO threads are placed using a cannula similar in size to an acupuncture needle. The cannula places the threads under the skin and in the facial tissue. Once the thread is in place, the cannula is removed, and the thread is tightened and stabilized. Threads help the skin regenerate and eventually dissolve. Who Are Good Candidates for Thread Lifts? Anyone who wants a more youthful appearance on their face and neck could be a good candidate for thread lifts, especially if they do not want to undergo a surgical procedure such as a facelift.   Because thread lifts boost the natural production of collagen, they are also a good solution for people looking for a more natural way to improve their appearance. The results can last as long as three years. Thread lifts are typically recommended for people who are 55 and younger. People as young as 30 can get thread lifts to stimulate their body's natural collagen production and ensure that they continue to have youthful-looking skin for decades to come. What are Dermal Fillers? Dermal fillers are another popular aesthetic treatment for anti-aging. They are less invasive than thread lifts. They add volume to targeted problem areas, making them much more specific than thread lifts, which target the entire face.   Dermal fillers can be used to target the lips, chin, or face to make them appear more voluminous and plumped. Many people use fillers to treat crow's feet, smile lines, or forehead wrinkles. A key benefit of dermal fillers is that the treatment is fast and requires no downtime. It's possible to get fillers over a lunch break and be back to work on time. Therefore, fillers can be a convenient solution to soften the aging process. Filler Before and After Photos See More Real WAVE Results in our Before and After Gallery Types of Dermal Fillers The two most common types of dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite. They are both safe for most people, with results that last for a year or longer. They will require reinjection for people who want to continue enjoying their more voluminous and youthful appearance. Hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm and Restylane) are filler injections most commonly used for wrinkles. The body naturally makes hyaluronic acid, so these fillers stimulate its natural production. Results can last as long as 12 months.   Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers (Radiesse) are specifically designed to treat deep skin folds and wrinkles, along with adding volume to cheeks and contouring the jawline. Results can last up to three years when filling wrinkles or one year for contouring. Who Are Good Candidates for Dermal Fillers? Because they are non-invasive and temporary, dermal fillers can be used by people who want to look more youthful without undergoing a surgical procedure. People seeking dermal fillers should also be in good health...

### The Most Popular Facelift Alternatives

In 2020, there were 234,374 Rhytidectomy (facelift) procedures performed, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. While individuals experience immediate and drastic results with surgical facelifts. They're an ideal choice for individuals with moderate to severe skin laxity and who want to improve the look of skin sagging, a double chin, jowls, and deep folds. Surgical facelifts also come with certain risks and downtime, which is why many individuals seek nonsurgical or minimally invasive facelift alternatives. Nonsurgical facelift alternatives typically incorporate skin injections and facial fillers to help provide volume to the cheeks and contour the jawline. They do this while also eliminating the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. And depending on the type of skin fillers used, results often last between one to two years. Best Alternative to Facelift Options  Some surgical facelift alternatives individuals can look into include: 1. Liquid Facelift  Facial fillers may be an excellent alternative for individuals who aren't ready for a surgical facelift. Facial fillers or liquid facelifts are substances that are injected into a person's skin to smooth out the look of wrinkles.   This procedure is designed to make them less noticeable. Doctors, physician assistants, or specially trained nurses can inject the filler. They're minimally invasive and frequently performed right in the doctor's office. Liquid facelifts like Restylane hyaluronic acid fillers or Juvederm injectable gel fillers offer stunning results that help reduce the appearance of aging so they look as young as they feel.   As people age, their faces start losing subcutaneous fat. Their facial muscles start working closer to the surface of their skin. This is why crow's feet and smile lines become more apparent.   Along with this, the person's skin on their face stretches a little too. The stretching adds to the loss of volume in their face. Dermal fillers like these help to reduce facial lines while restoring fullness and volume in a person's face. What Fillers Can Do  Liquid facelifts can help: Enhance the appearance of under-eye circles and bags Provide a more rested and youthful appearance Create smoother, fuller lips Add volume to temples and hollowed cheeks Lift jowls, drooping brows, and corners of the mouth Dermal fillers can help individuals experiencing early signs of aging. They can also add value to facial rejuvenation surgery. What Fillers Can't Do  Surgery like an eye lift, brow lift, or facelift may be the best cosmetic approach for some individuals. Soft tissue fillers and other minimally invasive rejuvenation treatments can't provide individuals with the same results as surgery. Still, they can help delay the time when a facelift becomes the only option. It's also essential to realize that dermal fillers are only a temporary treatment for facial aging, and for long-term results, ongoing treatments will be required. 2. Microneedling  This skin procedure is minimally invasive. The healthcare professional makes tiny holes in the top skin layer through thin needles. This stimulates the skin's healing process, producing more elastin and collagen. These are proteins that help keep skin smooth and firm. One option of microneedling, Morpheus8, uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency. This procedure also uses tiny needles up to four millimeters deep into the dermis to deliver radiofrequency energy that heats the skin and stimulates collagen production. What Microneedling Can Do  Microneedling has both medical and cosmetic uses. An individual may consider microneedling if they're concerned about the following: Fine lines and wrinkles Enlarged pores Uneven skin tone or skin discoloration Crepey (thin and wrinkled) or loose skin Stretch marks Mild scars, particularly those from burns or acne Microneedling can also help individuals with medical conditions like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) or alopecia areata (autoimmune disease-related hair loss) What Microneedling Can't Do  Microneedling doesn't offer immediate results. Most individuals require multiple treatments, typically around three to eight weeks apart. It may also take three to six months before individuals see results. Then, individuals may require the treatment once annually for maintenance. 3. Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction  BodyTite, FaceTite, and other types of radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) are relatively new, minimally invasive treatments which use thermal energy to help tighten the skin and eliminate unwanted fat. Healthcare professionals use radiofrequency waves that dissolve fat and induce the production of collagen for firmer skin. What Radiofrequency-Assisted Liposuction Can Do  During an RFAL procedure, the healthcare professional can guide the cannula more accurately than in regular liposuction. Which makes RFAL a useful technique for treating several body issues.   These radiofrequency waves don't just dissolve unwanted fat. They also help to promote collagen production and reduce the appearance of cellulite. RFAL is especially effective in areas like the love handles or the lower belly.   RFAL has other benefits, including: The procedure doesn't require an overnight stay Can be done under light sedation or local anesthesia Recovery time is typically one to two days No general anesthesia risks Many individuals can go back to work the day after the procedure Tiny microcannulas decrease the likelihood of "lumps" or other abnormalities like traditional liposuction can cause Considerably decreases fatty deposits while it firms the body Individuals can have the RFAL procedure done on multiple body areas. These areas include the neck, chin, arms, cheeks, jowls, outer and inner thighs, pubic mound, male breasts, knees, hips, buttocks, and abdomen. What Radiofrequency-Assisted Liposuction Can't Do  RALF doesn't provide long-term or permanent results. Individuals can experience long-lasting results (up to a decade) with surgical facelifts. However, RALF procedures, such as FaceTite, generally last up to five years, and their tightening effects are FDA-approved to last one year. 4. Thread Lifts  Thread lifts, such as FlashLift and NewLift, have recently become popular facelift alternatives. Not only are they used on the face, but they can also be used for various body parts. During a thread lift procedure, the healthcare professional delivers suture-like threads through cannulas under a person's skin. These threads are designed to lift it subtly and stimulate collagen production.   What Thread Lifts Can Do  Thread lifts aren't anything new. They've been around since...

Aging is inevitable for everyone and is something all of us eventually notice as visible signs of aging appear, especially on the face. Wrinkles, sagging skin, and loose tissues can affect your self-esteem and make you consider getting a facelift. These features can influence you to get a surgical procedure to lift your facial features and rejuvenate your appearance. But what is the best age for a facelift? The condition of your skin is critical in projecting your facial appearance. But constant years of sun exposure, dirt and dust, and other daily life stresses can accelerate your aging process. As time passes, conditions like wrinkles and fine lines on the face develop into permanent folds and creases on the face. A facelift rejuvenates and refreshes the appearance of your face, making it look more youthful. This post provides an in-depth overview of what you should know before deciding whether you are the right candidate (age) for a facelift procedure. When to get a Facelift So, what age should you get a facelift? The best age for undergoing a facelift procedure is when you want it. Although the average age for a facelift is a common topic in cosmetic discussions, it's crucial to understand that individual needs and physiological factors often take precedence over generalized age norms. There’s no right or average age for cosmetic surgery when it comes to looking your very best. Researchers have not placed any hard and fast rules about being the “right” age to undergo facial plastic surgery procedures. However, this does not necessarily mean anyone can take a facelift. A facelift will not be the best surgical option for people under 30 years old. It is also highly questionable whether people in their 30s should consider the surgery. There need to be unavoidable signs of aging before considering anti-aging cosmetic surgery. If you’re considering a facelift at 30 (or before and after), it’s important to note that patients in their 30s and younger may achieve more noticeable results with non-surgical procedures. Generally, the best age to get a facelift, revision, or reconstruction treatment is typically 40 and older. Most people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are always in a better position to appreciate the benefits of a facelift. That’s because, from age 40+, the signs of aging become more prevalent. Wrinkles, deep lines, sagging skin, and jowls start to form, which the facelift procedure can target more effectively. A noticeable transformation can be observed in a facelift before and after 60 years old. Even a facelift at 40 can bring significant positive changes. However, it is essential to manage expectations, as a young individual may not experience the same level of facial rejuvenation and could potentially be dissatisfied with the outcome. Therefore, there’s no one definitive age bracket a patient needs to fall into to consider trying the facelift procedure. Everyone is different, and people age differently at their natural rite. With that said, the appropriateness of facelift surgery (like other cosmetic operations) is personal and depends on the patient. You need to choose the right path for you after getting your surgeon’s advice and exploring the resources that can help you make an informed decision. Ideal Candidates for a Facelift Knowing the average age for facelift surgery is critical for helping you see the best results from the operation. But who is the best candidate for a facelift? And what is the best age for a facelift? Anyone in good health who is starting to notice the signs of aging and wants to get rid of them is generally a good candidate. But rather than focusing more on a specific age, we also recommend watching out for the following signs before considering a facelift: Loss of jawline definition Wrinkles underneath the eyes Excess fat deposits in your neck Deep lines around your nose and corners of your mouth Talking to a professional anti-aging expert gives you the best advice on which facelift procedure to take for your trouble spots and to meet your goals. A professional can show you some facelift at 50 before and after examples, go over the risks and potential benefits of a facelift on a young person, and help you understand the long-term effects of various procedures you may want to consider. Types of Facelifts Available The key to understanding different types of facelifts is knowing the basic anatomy of your face, particularly the skin, muscles, and fat pads. Questions surrounding the average age for facelifts often arise as individuals aim to find the optimal balance between their aesthetic desires and genuine needs. After all, when learning about the best age for a facelift, the type of procedure can determine the right answer in your situation. When considering a facelift, age plays a pivotal role in determining the extent of intervention and expected outcomes. For example, the best facelift for a 60-year-old will likely be different than the best option for a facelift in your 40s. This segment explores other options patients can consider for their facelift surgery. Endoscopic Mid-Facelift As you age, repeated muscle contraction, lifestyle changes, and the effects of gravity can cause the skin, muscle, and fat on your mid-face (area between your lower eyelids and mouth) to move downward. An endoscopic mid-facelift restores the natural curves of your mouth and the fullness of your cheeks by moving the underlying muscle tissue back to the normal, more youthful position. Endoscopic Mid-Facelift, see more in the Before and After gallery Endoscopic Facelift (Wave Lift™) This facelift surgery is exclusively designed by Wave Plastic Surgery and can be performed under local sedation and anesthesia.

A liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure where a surgeon injects dermal fillers into a person’s skin to reduce wrinkles and sagging. A liquid facelift is often recommended for individuals with a few wrinkles and mild sagging. If you are experiencing moderate to severe skin sagging, a surgical facelift may be the best option for your needs, as it offers significant tightening and rejuvenation effects. Here at WAVE Plastic Surgery, we provide a variety of surgical and non-surgical treatments to help our patients achieve their best skin. Suppose you have minimal wrinkles and sagging and want to learn more about liquid facelifts. In that case, continue reading for an overview of this effective cosmetic procedure and why getting a liquid facelift will help transform your skin.   How is Liquid Dermal Filler Used A liquid facelift is not the same as a surgical facelift procedure. This facelift relies on liquid dermal fillers injected underneath the skin to fill in and relax the facial lines and wrinkles. This simultaneously plumps and re-contours your facial features and reduces the appearance of sagging skin.   Essentially, liquid dermal fillers add volume to the face once injected. These fillers give a person’s cheeks, chin, and the area around the eyes and lips a plump appearance by reducing wrinkles and giving skin more of a glow. Types of Dermal Fillers There is a range of fillers you can receive to enhance your skin. Here are four types of dermal fillers to know about: Hyaluronic acid: Compared to other fillers available, this is the one used most commonly. If you decide you no longer want them, they can be reversed by a doctor who will use a substance to break up the hyaluronic acid. Calcium hydroxyapatite: These fillers are non-reversible and take longer to break down.   Poly-L-lactic acid: This filler stimulates collagen production. The effects of this filler occur gradually and typically require three to four injections over a series of visits.   Collagen or Fat: This is also known as soft skin augmentation and is a temporary treatment for addressing wrinkles and scarring. Why Get Facelift Injections? If you’re looking for a way to enhance the appearance of your skin, you’ll be glad to know that a liquid facelift comes with many benefits. Here are just some of the fantastic benefits of getting filler facelift injections: Non-Surgical Procedure Many people shy away from the idea of facelift injections because they believe that it requires surgery. While a surgical facelift does require surgery, a liquid facelift does not.   This procedure is non-invasive, meaning no scalpel, anesthesia, or stitches are involved. A facelift injection is a simple cosmetic procedure that uses dermal fillers to add volume to certain areas of the face, such as your chin, cheeks, and jawline. Targets Multiple Trouble Areas Do you have more than one area of your face that you would like to enhance? The good news is that a liquid facelift will target more than one area simultaneously for rejuvenated, younger-looking skin. With a traditional facelift, only the lower portions of the face are addressed. A liquid facelift can address many trouble areas at one time, making this a desired cosmetic procedure.   No Downtime Since a liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure, you will benefit from having no downtime after the process is finished. Getting a liquid facelift is relatively fast and convenient, and you can return to your routine immediately as there is no swelling or bruising involved in this facial rejuvenation procedure. Natural Results One concern many people have before getting any cosmetic procedure is whether their results will look natural. Thankfully, a liquid facelift is an effective procedure that produces immediate results that feel natural. You will look younger and more refreshed, but the results will be subtle and discreet. What to Expect During Your Liquid Facelift When getting a liquid facelift, you will undergo multiple dermal filler injections, restoring facial fullness. When patients receive a facelift, they can often receive their desired results within one session.   Before starting your facelift procedure, you will be provided with a local anesthetic to numb the area. Each injection will take a few minutes to target specific trouble areas of your face that exhibit signs of aging.   Some areas that may be targeted include: The temples Cheeks  The lower eyelid Creases beside the mouth Nasolabial folds between the nose and mouth  How Long Does A Liquid Facelift Last? Fillers don't last forever, so you will need to continue to get this procedure to maintain your appearance. It's important to note that how long your liquid facelift lasts will depend on the type of dermal fillers you receive. Here are some examples of dermal fillers and their longevity:  Hyaluronic acid: Eight months  Calcium hydroxyapatite: 12 to 16 months Poly-L-lactic acid: up to 24 months Collagen or Fat: 3 to 12 months Get Liquid Facelifts with WAVE Plastic Surgery A liquid facelift is a non-invasive treatment designed to enhance your skin's appearance by reducing wrinkles and sagging skin.

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to improve the appearance of the face and neck by tightening underlying muscles and removing excess skin. The goal of a facelift is to create a more youthful appearance by addressing common signs of aging, such as sagging skin, deep creases beneath the eyes, jowls along the jawline, and loose skin on the neck, all while keeping natural results top of mind. Fortunately, the results of a facelift are usually long-lasting, though they may not be permanent.   A facelift can be performed on both men and women, although the results may vary depending on the individual’s age and skin type. The recovery process following a facelift is typically relatively short, with most patients feeling well enough to return to normal activities within two weeks. In comparison to a deep plane facelift recovery, day-by-day recovery for a standard facelift is much easier to manage and takes less time to heal. However, there are a few things that patients can do to help ensure a successful result and reduce the recovery time for this cosmetic surgery. So, how long does it take to recover from a facelift? This article aims to guide you through the ins and outs of facelift recovery, day-by-day, following a facelift and offer tips for a swift and successful recovery. What to Do Following Your Facelift Surgery You will need to do a few things following your facelift surgery to ensure a quick and successful recovery. The facelift recovery time will largely depend on the patient and their willingness to follow the surgeon’s directions and ability to utilize treatments that can reduce bruising/swelling, and facilitate faster healing. The following are four essential recovery tips for a facelift: First, to improve your upper and lower face-lift recovery times, you must follow your surgeon’s postoperative care instructions. These instructions will likely include wearing a compression garment or bandage, sleeping with your head elevated, and avoiding strenuous activity or exposure to sunlight. Second, you will need to take care of your incisions. Be sure to keep them clean and dry, and apply any ointments or creams as directed by your surgeon. You will also need to avoid activities that could put undue stress on your incisions, such as bending over or lifting heavy objects. This is the only way to improve your facelift swelling timeline, prevent scar tissue, and ensure best results. Third, you will need to eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of fluids. A nutritious diet will help your body heal more quickly while staying hydrated will help reduce swelling. Finally, taking things easy for the first few weeks following your facelift is essential. Avoid any strenuous activity or exercise, and take plenty of time to rest and relax. You need to ensure that you’re comfortable and rested to allow your body to repair itself and reduce the facelift healing time. Week by Week Tips for Facelift Recovery By now, you should have a general idea of what the post-procedure timeline will look like. If you’re still searching “how long to recover from a facelift procedure” here is a week-by-week facelift recovery timeline to help you recover quickly following your facelift: Facelift Recovery Tips for Week 1 The first week after your facelift is when you will experience the majority of your swelling and bruising. Follow your surgeon’s postoperative care instructions, and keep your incisions clean. Here is a day-by-day look: Day 1: After your surgery, you will be taken to a recovery room, where you will be monitored for a few hours. Once you are awake and alert, you can go home. Have someone drive you home because you will be dizzy and sleepy. Day 2: Your surgeon will likely schedule a follow-up appointment two days after your surgery. At this appointment, your surgeon will check your incisions and remove any drains placed during surgery. They will also check for any signs of infection and answer any questions you may have about the recovery process. Day 3: During this time, getting plenty of rest and avoiding strenuous activity is essential. Take short walks around your house to keep your blood flowing and help prevent blood clots from forming. The swelling and bruising will likely be at their peak around this time, but if you experience any discomfort, medications can help ease it out. Days 4 -7: The swelling and bruising will have begun to subside. You can continue taking short walks around your house but avoid strenuous activity. You may also feel more like yourself and have more energy, and may not need pain medications. Facelift Recovery Tips for Week 2 You will likely experience less swelling and bruising during the second week of your healing process. You may also feel well enough to return to normal activities, but avoiding strenuous activity or exercise is still essential. Day 8: At this point, you will likely be feeling much better and have more energy. The swelling and bruising should also be less than in the first week. You can slowly increase your activity level but avoid strenuous exercise. Day 9-14: You should be feeling almost back to normal this time. The swelling and bruising will continue to improve, and you can gradually increase your activity level. You can resume all normal activities, including exercise, but be sure to listen to your body and take it easy if you feel tired or sore. Facelift Recovery Tips for Week 3 and 4 By the third and fourth weeks of recovery, most swelling and bruising will have subsided, and you should be feeling back to your usual self. You should also start seeing stunning changes in your appearance as the results of your facelift become more apparent. The incision sites will have some pinkish-red color, which will eventually fade. You can resume all normal activities, including exercise, but be sure to take care of your skin by cleansing it gently and applying sunscreen when you go outside. What...

Age, sunlight, genetic factors, and gravity impact your face and neck and can make your skin loose and wrinkled. Luckily, you may reverse these effects with a facelift surgery. A facelift takes away decades of aging action to give you a tighter and more youthful face and neck. You can either have a non-surgical or a surgical facelift, depending on your desired outcomes.   Surgical facelifts like the deep plane facelift are gaining popularity due to the long-term nature of their results. In a field full of different solutions to the impact of age, choosing the best procedure can be challenging. This guide helps you decide whether a deep plane facelift is the best solution for your needs.   What is Deep Plane Facelift A deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure used to restore your youthful appearance and make you feel better about yourself. The surgery allows the surgeon to remove excess skin, tighten, and reshape the principal musculature. The procedure targets the deep plane: an anatomic plane between the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) complex and the muscles used for facial expression.   Through deep manipulation of the underlying tissues, the deep plane facelift produces natural-looking and lasting results. By acting on the underlying muscles and tissues, a deep plane facelift allows your surgeon to restore cheek volume without using implants.   Difference Between Deep Plane and Traditional Facelifts Traditional facelift techniques target the skin only. Working on fixing the skin only leaves you with an appearance that looks less natural. However, in the Deep plane, the SMAS complex, deep muscles, and the skin are raised as a unit. The deep plane procedure gives a lasting, smooth, and more natural, youthful look. When considering the options for a facelift, people may confuse the deep plane with the SMAS facelift. Some people may even use the terms interchangeably since they are both deeply invasive procedures. However, it is important to understand that there are specific differences between the two.   Deep Plane Facelift VS SMAS When comparing SMAS vs. deep plane facelifts, people notice the following similarities: The two procedures are performed under general anesthesia, meaning patients will sleep throughout the process  Both procedures go deeper than just dealing with the skin to give lasting results  Patients will get a more natural, youthful look when you choose either of the two procedures  However, a close examination of the two procedures reveals the following differences: In the deep plane, the SMAS complex, the deep muscles, and the skin are raised as one unit. The SMAS technique, on the other hand, works the skin and the SMAS complex separately. The deep plane technique goes beyond the SMAS complex to the ”deeper plane,” while the SMAS procedure is less invasive. SMAS does not act on the deeper muscles but targets the skin and the SMAS complex. The SMAS technique is easily customized to the needs of the client. However, the technique works well for younger people. The deep plane facelift procedure is more invasive and recommended for patients with pronounced lines, creases, and folds. Who is a Candidate for Deep Plane Facelift? People are a candidate for a deep plane facelift if they want to reverse significant signs of aging. A deep plane facelift helps people deal with visible folds and volume reduction in their cheeks. People advanced in age may have more pronounced folds in their skin. However, genetic defects or exposure to ultraviolet rays may accelerate the visible signs of aging.   An ideal candidate for a deep plane facelift should also be in good health. Patients may not benefit from a deep plane facelift if they are at risk of developing a condition known as Hematoma.   Hematoma is a condition that leads to blood collecting and pooling under the skin. A patient with a hematoma may experience a spongy and rubbery feel on the skin.   The risk factors of hematoma may include: A body mass index (BMI) greater than 25  A systolic blood pressure (SBP) greater than 150 mm Hg. Despite the limiting factors listed above, only a surgeon should discourage the deep place facelift. If they desire a youthful appearance but are concerned about their health status or the safety of the procedure, they should schedule a consultation. What to Know About Deep Plane Facelift  Like any other invasive surgery, there are a few issues potential patients need to understand before the procedure. First, people need to schedule a consultation with a certified plastic surgeon. During the consultation, the surgeon assesses eligibility for the surgery and gives the patient a date. Patients will go through the preparation phase, including the administration of general anesthesia. A deep plane facelift takes around two to four hours. However, it should be expected to be in the operating room for at least four hours.   The recovery time is longer than in other facelift procedures. If someone schedules a facelift, they may require a plan on who takes over responsibilities while recovering. They may have to cancel work or social activities if they do not have an elaborate plan. However, patients should expect to resume some activities in two weeks.   A deep plane facelift is an inpatient procedure. Patients may have to spend some time at the hospital for observation. That means they may require a friend or family member to drive them to and from the hospital. Do the Benefits of Deep Plane Facelift Fade with Time?   The youthful and rested appearance you get from a deep plane facelift takes about 10 to 15 years. Depending on your care for the face, patients may not need another facelift for a decade or so. What Factors Affect Deep Plane Facelift Costs? Facial rejuvenation with a deep plane facelift is a decision that many make to address the signs of aging. However, understanding the medical expenses associated with this treatment is important. Here are the main factors influencing the cost of a deep plane facelift: Surgeon’s Expertise: Surgeons with extensive...

Facelifts are one of the standard plastic surgery procedures to improve the noticeable signs of aging in the face and neck. There are numerous face lifting techniques used in plastic surgery. These include the deep plane/ SMAS facelift, mini facelift, mid-facelift, cheek lift, s-lift, cutaneous lift, and the ponytail facelift. The Ponytail facelift is one of the most recently sought-out facelift treatments. This method is highly preferred as it is less invasive and does not allow much skin excision. This facial rejuvenation revision procedure allows individuals to achieve a younger, more youthful appearance, with the skin being naturally lifted and tightened, leaving minimal scarring or noticeable bruising. Before determining if a ponytail facelift is appropriate, people should consider the procedure as a whole. What is a Ponytail Facelift? This technique pulls the skin from the scalp and, subsequently, the entire face. WAVE Plastic Surgery offers a similar procedure called the Curelift S, which is an endoscopic Mini Facelift developed by our experienced surgeons. The main goal of a ponytail facelift procedure is to lift the mid-face, cheek structures, and jowls. This is done through small invisible incisions while using an endoscope and suspension. It is less invasive as the plastic surgeon only lifts the muscle layer of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system. Unlike traditional facelift techniques, the incisions in ponytail facelift are placed behind the ears. Through this technique, one can easily fasten the hair in a high ponytail after the treatment. This is due to the fact that the procedure does not leave any visible scars. This results in a rejuvenated face with a more youthful appearance. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Ponytail Facelift A ponytail facelift is highly preferred over traditional facelift surgical procedures. This is because it involves a minor incision which results in less scarring. Like many other minimally invasive surgical procedures, the treatment has less downtime and recovery time. Other advantages of a ponytail facelift include: Has long-lasting effects. How long does a ponytail facelift last? A ponytail facelift lasts one to five years, depending on the number of suspensions. Unlike other traditional methods, a ponytail facelift does not disrupt the functioning of the skin components, increasing the results’ lifespan. The procedure does not alter the appearance of the tragus. In most traditional facelift procedures, the incisions are made at the tragus or the front of the ear's opening. This method typically leaves visible scars. Requires less downtime and recovery period than the traditional procedures. As a result of limited swelling, it takes fewer days to make a full recovery. Like any other surgical treatment, a ponytail facelift has some drawbacks, which include: The surgeon cannot remove any excess skin. Due to this, the best candidates for this procedure are individuals with less skin Patients risk losing their hair in the process. The incisions extend to the head, and the plastic surgeon might remove some hair. How Much is a Ponytail Facelift? The ponytail facelift cost varies greatly depending on location. The length of the surgical procedure and the particular surgeon or clinic also play a role. According to reports, the average cost in Manhattan for this procedure is $20,000 to $30,000. How Long Does the Recovery of a Ponytail Facelift Take? The downtime and recovery period from a ponytail lift is one week. The recovery period of any surgical procedure depends on its invasiveness. Typically, procedures like ponytail facelifts involving minor incisions require less downtime and recovery than those involving significant incisions. Who Is the Best Candidate for a Ponytail Facelift? A ponytail facelift is ideal for individuals requiring a lift in the upper face, eyelids, and brow area. The best age to get a ponytail facelift is during the mid to late 40s or early 50s. This is when people still have minimal facial and neck skin laxity. How to Search an Ideal Clinic for Ponytail Facelift Cosmetic surgery is regarded as an art form in the medical world. For the best results, it is vital to conduct extensive research on the best clinics and plastic surgeons in the area. There are many things to consider when deciding which clinic or plastic surgeon is a good fit.   Some considerations for reputable clinics include: Search for a board-certified cosmetic surgeon To be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a plastic surgeon has to undergo a rigorous board certification process. This process usually takes several years to complete. Also, ensure that the provider is an American Society of Plastic Surgeons member. To become a member of APS, a cosmetic surgeon must pass through training and demonstrate specific patient safety standards. Look for an accredited clinic Most plastic surgical procedures are performed in office-based surgical clinics or ambulatory care centers. The best facilities are appropriately accredited, which means they follow strict standards for proper equipment, safety, surgeon credentials, and staffing. The accreditations to look for include: State licensure Title XVIII Medical participation Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF) Search for a trustworthy plastic surgeon Look for a surgeon that you feel comfortable enough to trust. Communication plays a great role in ensuring that the whole procedure is done the way the patient wants. It would be best to visit a surgeon you feel comfortable inquiring about anything, even after the treatment. Ensure that the clinic has the right resources A plastic surgery clinic should have the following resources for efficient treatment. An in-house or regular anesthesiologist Have great staff who are understanding, friendly, accommodating, honest, compassionate, and well-trained Have state-of-art equipment Get a Ponytail Facelift in California The success of a ponytail facelift highly depends on the experience and expertise of the plastic surgeon. In addition, the accreditation of a facility will play a role in the experience. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we have a board-certified plastic surgeon.

When you look at yourself in the mirror day after day, it may be difficult to notice any changes at all. But when looking back at old photos, you may be shocked by how your appearance has changed over the years. The recommended Anti-Aging treatments also change as you progress through the years. You probably won’t use the same facial cleanser you used in your twenties when you turn sixty. Similarly, the recommended anti-aging procedures will change as you grow older. As you age you may observe changes in how your skin looks and behaves. You may notice decreases in skin elasticity, increased pore size, darker pigmentation, and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Most people look to topical creams and skincare regimens to stave off the signs of aging. But a growing number of people are also looking into surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments to combat the signs of aging. Your aesthetic goals will also evolve over time. In this article, we will show you how you can accomplish your aesthetic goals, no matter what your age is. A skilled plastic surgeon can match the best skin treatment for anti-aging to your desired outcome.

Flash Lift (Thread Lift) Ultherapy 1 of 2« PreviousNext » Flash Lift 2 of 2« PreviousNext » In your thirties, you begin to pay closer attention to your skin. Some time has passed since you fretted over every blemish and any sign of a breakout. Now, you're more concerned about the visible signs of aging. Your skin may have already begun to reflect the stress of your adult life. Working long hours or raising a family may be starting to take a toll. Perhaps you’re not getting enough sleep, not exercising enough, and not drinking enough water. Moreover, it's essential to remember the importance of sun care and health maintenance in your daily routine to reduce potential damage. All of these factors can make you look tired and exacerbate the early signs of aging. How to prevent aging skin in the 30s becomes a key question. Depending on your environment and genetics, you could start to see fine lines, broken blood vessels, uneven pigment, discoloration, and maybe even some volume loss. You may be trying a host of new beauty products touted as the best anti-aging treatments for the 30s to counteract these early signs of aging, but oatmeal face masks and vitamin C serums may not yield the type of results that you are looking for. To address these concerns effectively, consider the best skin treatment for anti-aging. There are a variety of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments that you can use to correct these issues. Some of these include botox injections, microneedling treatments, and medical-grade peels and facials. But to demonstrate something more dramatic, we’ll show you what a patient in her thirties was able to accomplish through Ultherapy and a Flash Lift. It's important to consider how to keep skin young after 30 by incorporating treatments that cater specifically to your skin's evolving needs. The Patient This patient was exhibiting the early signs of aging typical of a thirty-something. She started to develop smile lines around her mouth and some crow's feet beside her eyes, which made her look tired. The combination of Ultherapy and a Flash Lift rejuvenated her appearance and gave her a refreshed, youthful look. Ultherapy Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound technology to tighten skin and boost your body’s own collagen production. It is a non-invasive procedure that can be used to treat wrinkles and sagging skin in the brow area, midface, chin, and neckline. While there is some discomfort involved, this is considered a wonder of modern medicine that allows patients to get tighter, firmer skin without any downtime. Flash Lift (PDO Thread Lift) A Flash Lift is a specialized thread lift developed by Wave Plastic Surgery. This thread lift uses threads made of polydioxanone (also known as PDO), which are expertly placed in the skin to provide a natural tightening and lifting effect. The PDO threads naturally dissolve and stimulate collagen production beneath the skin. A combination of threads placed according to the needs of the patient provides customized results based on each individual patient's aesthetic goals.

Their skin can lose its natural glow and begin to look dull and feel dry. Sunspots and wrinkles develop with more frequency and the firmness of youth can begin to droop into sagging skin. In women, declining estrogen levels can emphasize these changes. Incorporating some of the best anti-aging treatments for 40s becomes crucial at this stage to counter these effects. Women in their forties begin to experience perimenopause as they transition into menopause, and taking steps toward smoother skin texture becomes a priority. During perimenopause, hormonal changes lead to diminishing collagen production. This can result in hooding of the eyelids, under-eye bags, and sagging skin on the face and neck. These changes to your hormones and metabolism aren't easily fixed with lifestyle changes and topical creams. To get to the root cause of these signs of aging a person has to go deeper to address the underlying cause of these symptoms.

In 2019, more than 46,000 people underwent breast reduction surgery. It's not an uncommon procedure, but you may have some questions about how it works. Is it a purely cosmetic procedure? Can you request a breast reduction for other reasons? What's the recovery time? No matter the reason, this guide will help you know what to expect before, during, and after. Keep reading for seven things you need to know before committing to a breast reduction.   1. Who Is Eligible For Breast Reduction Surgery? Anyone looking to reduce the amount of breast tissue on their chest is eligible for a reduction. This could be someone who wants to reverse the effects of their breast augmentation. Or it could be someone whose breast size harms their posture or causes them pain.   Others may seek a breast reduction for cosmetic reasons to improve the appearance of their chest. Even men are eligible for breast reduction surgery. If you're considering this procedure, speak with your doctor first. They will inform you about what options you have. Breast Reduction Weight Requirements Some people want their breast reduction to be covered by their health insurance carrier. In order to qualify, most insurance companies will want to know the weight of breast tissue that will be removed during a breast reduction. This may seem like a weird way to think about breast reduction, but it is a fairly scientific approach to assessing the need for breast reduction surgery. Different insurance companies will have different policies regarding what they will accept as a necessary medical procedure. They may require a minimum of 450 grams to 600 grams of breast tissue to be removed. This is intended to differentiate medical necessity from voluntary, aesthetic surgery. Some insurance companies will consider a patient's Body Mass Index (BMI) in order to account for patients of different heights and weights in determining this breast tissue weight requirement. By their logic, smaller patients would have lower tissue weight requirements, while larger patients would have higher tissue weight requirements. This could be as low as 1 pound of tissue and as high as 4 pounds. Some insurance companies will deny breast reduction surgery unless the BMI is less than 30 while others require documentation that the patient has attempted to diet and exercise to decrease breast size through weight loss. Generally speaking, patients with size DD, DDD, and H will qualify for medical necessity breast reduction surgery. 2. When to Consider Surgery Large breasts can put a strain on your spine. This can lead to a hunched-over look or chronic pain in the shoulders, neck, and back. It can also make it harder to find bras and tops that fit well.   If your breasts are causing you pain or making it hard to fit into clothes, consider having them reduced. A breast reduction can transform your day-to-day life, making it a lot more enjoyable. You should also consider surgery if you want to have your implants removed or reduced. But you may be thinking about a reduction for cosmetic reasons. If that's the case, consider whether the costs outweigh the benefits you're seeking. 3. Breast Reduction Cost The average cost of a breast reduction sits just under $5,500. Be sure to check with your insurance provider before you commit to surgery. Your policy may cover part or all of your breast reduction surgery. Another aspect of the cost is the risk involved. You should know that every surgery brings the potential for infection and bleeding. But in a breast reduction surgery, there are others to consider as well.   Breastfeeding post-reduction may be more difficult. You may lose feeling in and around your nipples, too.   4. Before the Surgery Before surgery, you'll complete standard lab tests and a health screening which ensures you're able to undergo surgery safely. You'll discuss your goals with your doctor. You will also complete a mammogram to examine the tissue in your breasts. It's common to have at least two mammograms performed—one before and one after surgery.   You should avoid smoking before surgery and limit your intake of anti-inflammatory medications. Drugs like aspirin can thin your blood and make you more prone to bleeding during surgery.   Your doctor will likely take breast reduction before and after pictures to help you see the results of your procedure more clearly. But don't worry about remembering all of this! Your doctor will go over it with you in detail.   5. What Happens During Breast Reduction Surgery? During a breast reduction, your surgeon makes a small incision near your areola. The line of the incision will likely extend down your breast in the direction of your ribs. From there, your surgeon will be able to remove some of your breast tissue. They may also remove skin or fat to reach your preferred size. Once enough tissue is removed, your surgeon will reshape your breast. Depending on the size of your breasts, your surgeon may remove and reattach your nipple in a higher place.   Your doctor should discuss the entire procedure with you before you go under. They'll do their best to make your breasts as natural-looking as possible, but some differences in size may occur.   Drain tubes may be inserted into your breasts as well, just under the skin. These allow excess fluid to leave the tissue, which helps you heal faster. Your doctor will remove them during recovery. 6. Recovery Time In the days following your surgery, you'll likely have some pain. Your breasts may feel swollen and sore. So be sure to take any pain medication that your doctor prescribed. As you heal, your incisions may feel itchy or painful. You may experience tingling sensations in your nipples or stiffness in your breasts. The best course of action is to leave everything alone and let your body heal on its own.   If you have drain tubes, those may have to stay in until you've reached a certain point in your...

An inverted nipple is usually harmless but can put a strain on your sex life and body image. This condition can be hard to deal with. However, with the right treatment, it can be easily fixed! So if you're looking for solutions for your inverted nipples and don't know where to start, keep reading.   What Are Inverted Nipples? Inverted nipples are a hereditary condition where your nipples point inward. It usually appears at birth but can develop later in life. This condition can affect men and women and is usually caused by underdeveloped tissue or the structure of the nipple itself.   However, some may develop this condition over time. For example, if you've had any breast surgery and developed deep scar tissues, this may have caused constriction. This kind of tissue trauma could cause your nipple to become inverted. Inflammation in the surrounding tissue or milk ducts could also cause tissue trauma, leading to inverted nipples. However, if you've developed inverted nipples with no cause, seek medical help, because it could be a sign of breast cancer. Levels of Inversion Nipple inversion can categorize into 3 different levels, from least serious to very severe. If you don't know what level you are, a professional can determine this for you. To begin, level one is the least serious level and easier to correct. This level of inversion is also seen as having shy nipples because they still respond to stimuli. Meaning the nipple is able to retract with cold objects or suction.   The second level is more serious because the nipple may not respond to stimuli and stays in all the time. Sometimes a strong suction can cause them to come out, but they will invert again. In the third level, no amount of stimuli or suction can get the nipple to come out. This level of inversion is the most serious and is usually caused by severe constriction or deep scarring.   Once a professional has diagnosed you with what level you are, you can begin looking at an inverted nipple solution. Temporary Solutions  Depending on your inversion level, there are many different solutions for inverted nipples, ranging from non-surgical to surgical solutions. For levels one and two patients, the nipple is still able to respond to some stimuli. Therefore, a non-surgical option could give you a temporary solution. There are over-the-counter products for inverted nipples that are more easily accessible. For example, a suction device is a non-surgical solution that can cause the nipple to retract briefly. This solution works by placing the suction device directly on the nipple and allowing the suction power to retract the nipple. A suction device could be a cheaper alternative to surgery, but be aware that this is not a permanent solution. Unfortunately, the nipple will only stay detracted for a brief period. Once the suction turns off, the nipple will return to its original placement. Another temporary fix for inverted nipples is to have them pierced with a dumbbell-shaped piercing. However, because of the shape of your nipple, a piercing professional may not be able to perform the procedure. However, a medical professional can also perform this procedure. If done correctly, this piercing can provide some level of support to the inner lining of the nipple, which can cause the nipple to retract a little and look less inverted. However, you should be aware that there isn't much evidence on this approach. Many patients report having minimal visible changes and once the piercing is out, the nipple goes back to its inverted position. This inverted nipple treatment can also cause further damage and scarring.   Permanent Solutions  Fixing inverted nipples can be a difficult process that may seem impossible. However, there are ways to fix an inverted nipple permanently. Cosmetic surgery is proving to be the only permanent solution for inverted nipples. Breast reversion is a surgical procedure that is able to fix an inverted nipple, though this procedure is somewhat outdated due to the problems that arise afterward. This procedure is effective in fixing inverted nipples but usually makes it impossible for women to breastfeed because of the severing of the milk ducts. Some surgeons still use this technique, so if you would like to one day breastfeed, avoid this type of surgery. Instead, look for a surgeon that preserves the milk ducts while still providing an effective solution. This technique focuses on releasing the surrounding fibers that are holding the nipple and causing them to look inverted. A specialist can make a small incision in the areola while the nipple is held in an outward position. Sutures are then used to hold the nipple in this outward position, and then protective devices are placed over the nipples after the surgery. This protective device helps to keep the nipple in place during the healing process. Usually, this protective device is placed for a couple of days after the surgery, and the sutures dissolve a few weeks later. The great news is that there is minimal scarring that's easily masked with the naturally occurring bumps and coloration in the nipple. The results are able to show immediately and look best once the area has fully healed. Effects of Inverted Nipples Inverted nipples can have a negative effect and can become a nuisance for breastfeeding mothers. Although, depending on the severity of the inversion, some mothers are still able to breastfeed. However, if your nipples are a level 3, then latching and milk production can become a difficult factor. Nipple inversion can also cause body image issues because of the odd-looking placement of the nipple. Many patients with nipple inversion struggle with their sex life as well. If you struggle with body image issues because of this condition, this surgical procedure could be a good choice for you.   Final Results Inverted nipples can be a difficult condition to deal with, but it doesn't have to be. With the right treatment, your nipple inversion can be a thing of the...

Women spend about $313 every month on their appearance. That's $225,360 over the course of a lifetime! Instead of spending the equivalent of four years of college tuition, it helps to pinpoint specific concerns. For example, do you want to learn how to tighten the skin under your chin? The right mix of surgical and nonsurgical procedures could help. By exploring your options, you can find the right course of treatment to achieve your beauty goals. It's normal for your neck to divulge as you get older. You don't have to live with it, though. Instead, discover how to get rid of that turkey neck. Start tightening skin with these treatment options and at-home tricks today! Surgical Options There are many different factors that can make your neck look older over time. For example, our bodies produce less collagen as we age. Collagen is an essential building block of proteins, including our skin. Elastin breakdown, weight loss, genetics, and sun exposure can affect your neck, too. After years of changes and the pull of gravity, a turkey neck could form. You don't have to hide your neck behind scarves of turtlenecks. Instead, consider visiting a medspa or plastic surgeon. Here are a few surgical options you can discuss. Liposuction During a liposuction procedure, your surgeon will use a microcannula to remove fat. They'll then need to reshape your jawline and skin. Reshaping will help prevent sagging skin in the future. For this procedure, your surgeon will place you under general anesthesia. You might need to spend a few days or weeks recovering afterward. Potential side effects can include: Bruising Internal bleeding Damage to the nerves of muscles Swelling or improper healing Sepsis It's important to choose a licensed, experienced plastic surgeon. They can help you discover how to tighten the skin under the chin. With their help, you can meet your beauty goals with minimal complications.   Neck or Facelift Some patients prefer to schedule a neck lift or facelift instead. Both surgeries require anesthesia. You'll need a few days to a couple of weeks to recover. A neck lift is also known as a lower rhytidectomy. They'll remove the fat from your neck before tightening your muscles. Then, your surgeon will rearrange the skin around your neck to shape your jawline. You'll have a small incision, usually in front of or behind the ear. If you prefer a full facelift, your surgeon will remove the fat and tighten your muscle. Then, they'll rearrange the skin on the lower part of your face. This step ensures your neck and face appear the same.   Neck Band Surgery Talk to your surgeon about neck band surgery as well. This procedure involves bringing the edges of your platysma muscles together. Your surgeon will flatten their appearance to achieve your goals. This procedure focuses solely on the neckbands. It's often performed along with neck liposuction, facelift, or neck lift. Chin Implants You might want to augment your chin to fill your loose skin. A chin implant can reduce your wattle and upper neck sagging. It's often a fast procedure. Your surgeon will need to place a custom-shaped implant. The implant is fitted to your jaw. Non-Surgical Options If you're not interested in learning how to tighten the skin under your chin with surgery, that's okay. Instead, consider these nonsurgical treatment options. A combination of nonsurgical procedures, products, and at-home tips can improve the appearance of your skin. Ultherapy In 2019, about 56% of consumers scheduled procedures for skin tightening or wrinkle removal. Of the patients who chose Ultherapy, about 92% were satisfied with their results. What is ultherapy, exactly? This non-surgical, non-invasive treatment can improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It's safe and FDA-approved. Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to stimulate your body's natural collagen production. Remember, collagen gives your skin its structure.   Stimulating your collagen production can help your skin look firm, supple, and young. You can counteract the effects of aging.   A laser technician will use a small applicator to focus heat on your skin. The heat will penetrate your deep tissue, then encourage collagen production.   A session can last between 30 to 90 minutes. You can treat your face, neck, under the chin, and chest. Some patients choose to combine Ultherapy with other treatment options, such as Botox. Kybella Injections Kybella is an injectable. It's formulated to remove fat specifically under the skin. Kybella injections work using deoxycholic acid. The acid can break down your fat cells, allowing your body to remove them naturally. You can then experience natural-looking, long-term improvements.   Each treatment only lasts between 15 to 20 minutes. Like Ultherapy, Kybella is FDA-approved. About 82. 4% of people report satisfactory results after Kybella treatment. Dermal Fillers Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid. The solution is injected into the neck and chin to fill your jowls. In addition to tightening skin, dermal fingers can boost your collagen production. Thermage Jawline Tightening Thermage jawline tightening involves using heat and radiofrequency energy. The energy can tighten the skin around your neck and chin. You can schedule multiple appointments to ensure your collagen stays tight. Retinol If you're looking for the best skincare products for sagging skin, check the ingredients. Make sure your products include retinol.   Retinol is a vitamin that speeds up cell turnover. It can also help boost collagen production. Retinol is FDA-approved for treating and preventing wrinkles. Make sure to add sunscreen to your daily routine, too. Choose mineral-based sunscreens that protect against UVA and UVB rays. Otherwise, sun damage can impact the appearance of your skin.   When applying products, make sure to apply them upward. Use gentle pressure when applying products, too. Microneedling Micro-needling involves rolling tiny needles over the surface of your skin. This at-home treatment can promote skin repair and encourage collagen production. It could help lift droopy, sagging skin, too. You can also use a face roller, which can encourage lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, and increase blood flow. The lymphatic...

### Xeomin vs Dysport: What's the Difference?

As cosmetic procedures become more popular, people are looking for more ways to maintain their youth and feel confident in their skin. There are the obvious procedures you can save up for, but there are also minimally invasive treatments that won't break the bank. One of the most common options for maintaining a youthful appearance is wrinkle relaxers (neuromodulators). With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to find the one that works for you. That's why we're going to look at Xeomin vs Dysport and compare the two. Let's get started. What Are Wrinkle Relaxers? It happens to everyone; as we get older, fine lines and wrinkles start becoming more noticeable. It occurs mainly around the eyes and forehead at first, and we may only see them when we frown or laugh. As we age, those lines become more obvious.   Wrinkles occur because you're living your life, and those repeated facial movements form creases or lines in the skin. Although it's a normal part of life, you may not love having wrinkles. Wrinkle relaxers can reduce the appearance of those fine lines, giving you a smoother complexion. The most common areas include: Forehead linesCrow's feetFrown linesDimpled chinEyebrow lift Botox vs Xeomin vs Dysport Now that we've really piqued your interest, it's time to look at the solutions that will eliminate stubborn fine lines and wrinkles. The three most popular options on the market are Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport. These three can't be used interchangeably because they are dosed and injected differently. However, all of them are made of botulinum toxin type A. Both Botox and Dysport contain protein that is made of lactose or egg. This protein helps deliver the neurotoxin to the area that you want to change. That's why Dysport and Botox are both considered heavier. They have the proteins and the benefit of enabling the neurotoxin substance. Xeomin doesn't have that accessory protein. It's purely botulinum toxin. What that means is there is less risk of a patient having an allergic reaction since there is no additional protein additive. Dysport is known to have better distribution underneath the skin, so it is best for fine lines instead of deep wrinkles. With that said, it also requires more units per dosage but is less costly than Botox.   You're likely to see the results of Dysport in 3-5 days, which is faster than the competitors. This makes it ideal for patients looking for quick results.   If you're looking to correct a deeper crease or wrinkle, you'll want to go with Xeomin or Botox. Both of these take about 1-2 weeks for the full treatment to take hold. They also last longer than Dysport. Benefits of Xeomin Consider Xeomin, the baby sibling of neuromodulators. It was manufactured by Merz and approved by the FDA in 2011.   You'll love Xeomin because it is just as capable as its competitors to smooth out your frustrating wrinkles and fine lines without waiting too long for the results. The main difference, as mentioned previously, is that Xeomin is a "naked" neurotoxin. This means it doesn't require refrigeration, so the storage and distribution are different from Dysport. That may not matter much to you, but you should know that it will take a little bit longer than the others to see results. Let's take a look at some of the Xeomin benefits: You're less likely to experience an allergic reaction since there are no added proteinsThe treatment time is short, and it has a fast recovery timeIt smoothes the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, in the forehead, and between the eyebrowsIt blocks the signal from the nerve to muscles, and this prevents further wrinkling Benefits of Dysport Dysport was manufactured by Medicis and approved by the FDA in 2009. If Xeomin is the baby sibling, Dysport is the middle child of the neuromodulator family (Botox would be the oldest sibling. )  Dysport has the same wrinkle-reducing abilities as Botox and the same efficiency, side effects, and duration of results. You might experience swelling, a headache, and some slight bruising. These are normal side effects for all of the neuromodulators.   What makes Dysport stand out is that it is diluted differently than Botox. This means you will need more Dysport to achieve the same results as Botox. With that said, Dysport tends to be less expensive. Essentially, the two end up evening themselves out. Dysport also tends to work faster than Botox and can spread to a larger area thanks to smaller molecules' composition. What are the other Dysport benefits? Let's take a look: Drastically reduces Glabellar lines (the "11" lines on your forehead)Smoothes fine lines and wrinklesPrevents new wrinkles from formingNatural and immediate resultsCan treat excessive sweating How Long Do They Last? If you're spending your hard-earned cash to enhance your appearance, you want to make sure that it will last.   All three of the mentioned wrinkle relaxers can last from 3-6 months per treatment. The final result varies from patient to patient. It's important to note that this isn't a permanent solution. Botox wears off. As muscle action returns, you'll see the wrinkles and fine lines reappear. That's when it's time to book your next appointment. Wrinkle Prevention Everyone should celebrate getting older. It's an immense privilege. It means you can continue to pursue your goals and enjoy life. You don't need to sacrifice your appearance as you age. There are plenty of options to keep your skin looking youthful.   Comparing Xeomin vs Dysport will give you a better idea of which treatment is best for you and your goals. Get ready to revitalize your skin and feel a new wave of confidence.   If you're ready to awaken your inner beauty, be sure to contact us today and get a consultation!

However, liposuction can have complications and is a risky procedure. There are many minimally invasive and non-invasive liposuction alternatives to consider if you are seeking to eliminate extra fat from your body. In this guide, we'll go over some of the various non-surgical procedures available, including traditional liposuction, so you can make an informed decision with your cosmetic surgeon. Keep reading to find out what you need to know. What Is Body Contouring? Body contouring procedures are non-invasive. They help patients achieve the body they desire after they've established excellent nutritional and exercise habits. You can reduce the amount of fat on your body without having to deal with the risk of surgery. Most body contouring procedures have minimal or no downtime. You are able to go back to your regular routine immediately after your procedure. As opposed to a scalpel, these non-invasive treatments use heat, cold or other energy sources to eliminate fat. Target Stubborn Fat Many people have areas of stubborn fat that diet and exercise can't get rid of. It's the fat that lies just under our skin. Stubborn fat is an area of frustration for a lot of people because despite eating well and exercising regularly, it can still be difficult to get rid of. There are a few reasons why stubborn fat is more difficult to get rid of:Regular fat is physiologically different than stubborn fat, making the usual fat reducing practices not apply to stubborn fatYou can't do extra exercises to target stubborn fat, like doing extra crunches to get rid of your belly fatYour hormones can cause extra fat to sit in certain areasWomen usually have more stubborn fat than men, especially in the buttocks, hips, and thighs areaAreas of stubborn fat vary from person to person CoolSculpting CoolSculpting utilizes cold temperatures to freeze away your fat. It is one of the most effective and popular non-invasive treatments out there. The cooling treatment Cryolipolysis targets any fat you have in your midsection, bringing them down to a temperature that makes them crystallize. They are then eliminated naturally through your body over a few months. Why Use Cold Temperatures? The fat cells of your body don't like the cold and when they get to a low enough temperature, they freeze. Over the course of one to three months, your body will eliminate the dead fat cells. You will experience up to a 20-25% reduction of fat cells in the targeted area. Common Risks and Side Effects During the procedure, your cosmetic surgeon will put a roll of your fat in between two panels. You may experience a tugging or pulling sensation during the procedure. Another side effect you may experience is stinging, pain, or aching at the treatment site. You would feel these sensations immediately after the treatment finishes up to around two weeks after. The likely cause of these sensations is exposure to cold temperatures on your tissue and skin. You may also experience the following temporary side effects:SwellingRednessSkin sensitivityBruisingAgain, these side effects are a result of exposure to cold temperatures. However, CoolSculpting is completely safe. You won't get frostbite from the procedure. The Benefits of CoolSculpting You will see your results from the procedure gradually after your treatment is complete. Whatever area is targeted, be it your love handles or abdomen, will start to shrink down as the fat cells get eliminated. You can maintain the results you get by continuing to practice good nutrition and exercise. There is no downtime with CoolSculpting. Schedule a treatment on your lunch break to get the process started. Coupled with other procedures like Evolve or Kybella, CoolSculpting can get you on the road to the body you've been working hard for. Costs for CoolSculpting start around $750 for each session. The procedure can take between one and two hours. See more Coolsculpting Results in our Before & After gallery! Evolve: Body Remodeling Another non-invasive body contouring procedure is Evolve. You can remodel and restructure your body with different treatments. Tone and strengthen muscles, tighten skin, and melt away fat with Evolve. Evolve is completely pain-free and there is no recovery period needed after the procedure. You can target multiple areas of your body at once during your procedure. How Does It Work?

Common Questions Facelift and necklift procedures are among the most popular procedures in plastic surgery and are considered the gold standard for the rejuvenation of the aging face. If properly performed, these procedures reduce sagging of the tissues of the cheeks, jawline, and neck that occurs with age. By seeking out surgical assistance you can keep making your skin defy the test of time. Facelifts can help keep your skin tight and give you a youthful appearance. But what is a neck lift procedure good for? And how do they do a neck lift or a face lift? What’s the difference between a neck lift vs. facelift, anyway? Let’s explore the differences and uses for a neck lift vs. facelift below. Reversing The Signs of Aging As we age, our skin becomes less elastic as collagen and elastin production decreases. Gravity and time also act on our facial muscles and their retaining ligaments, causing them to loosen. Our midfacial tissues descend, leading to the formation of deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jowls along the jawline. In the upper neck, laxity of the platysma muscles develops, leading to visible vertical bands and severe sagging of the skin in the submental region. This is commonly known as the “turkey gobbler”. Patients considering this type of procedure often complain that they appear sad and tired. Contrary to popular belief, face and neck lift do not seek to stretch saggy skin but rather attempt to tighten the compromised tissues and reposition them to their original, more youthful positions. The goal is therefore to create a harmonious, natural, refreshed appearance rather than the impression that the skin is pulled tightly. Patients typically report appearing several years younger, and satisfaction with the procedure is high. Lower face and neck lift reconstruction can help rejuvenate the areas and make a person look younger. A neck and lower face lift can produce great results without injectables such as botox, use of chemicals, dermal fillers, and extensive skin removal. What Is a Rhytidectomy? A rhytidectomy, or facelift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces skin sagging on your cheeks or jawline. A facelift is a surgical procedure that helps to combat the natural flaps of skin that develop with age. Over time it’s common that your skin will become less elastic and is more likely to sag around your face. Loose skin around the neck and face is a clear sign of aging. A lower face lift and neck lift doesn’t decrease the cracks or wrinkles in your skin; they help tighten pockets of loose skin that have developed over time. In a facelift, the skin is pulled back in order to contour your face and give you a more youthful look. In addition to a facelift, typically a neck lift is often done as a part of this procedure to help reduce the amount of sagging on the neck as well. That’s why when it comes to face augmentation, it’s not as much about neck lift vs. facelift, but about how neck and lift surgery can be done at the same time to achieve the best results. Natural Ways to Boost Skin Elasticity A lower face next lift and similar cosmetic surgeries are typically done in order to restore an individual’s youthful look. The same can be said about other procedures like liposuction, breast lift, tummy tuck, and even laser hair removal. One of the primary reasons why sagging skin develops is a lack of skin elasticity. But besides opting for a lower neck lift or another procedure, you can actually work to improve your skin’s elasticity by eating a diet full of greens, fatty fish, citrus, and broccoli. These foods help improve your skin’s health. Boosting your skin’s elasticity cannot erase your jowls or sagging skin and tissue displacement. A change in diet can work to help you maintain a fresh start. That fresh start can come in the form of a facelift. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=lR9VEHgvdCM&t=16s BENEFITS OF NECK AND FACE LIFT Over time your skin will become less elastic. Because of a reduction in elasticity, excess skin can be a byproduct of weight loss or simply aging. Facelifts provide an array of benefits that can help you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin. Combat the Signs of Aging As you age the quality and plumpness of your skin will degrade. This is due to the thinning of the dermal tissue and loss of elasticity in your face. The symptoms of aging can be more evident due to hereditary conditions, stress, smoking, or sun damage. If your face has developed excess flaps of skin over time you may want to consider a facelift. This surgery can help to displace your facial fat and tighten sagging skin around your face. Contours Your Jawline Many women spend hours contouring their faces each and every day with highlighters and contouring products. In order to achieve a contoured look without makeup, a facelift can help to redefine your jawline. A strong jawline can help sharpen your overall features and give you a youthful look. A strong jawline is often associated with dominance and can make anyone feel strong and confident. No Visible Surgical Scars Many surgical procedures leave lasting scars, however cosmetic procedures such as a rhytidectomy are designed to produce no visible scars. The virtual lack of visible scars can erase any outward signs of a medical procedure. You can keep your youthful skin plump and flawless without having to use makeup to conceal a long-lasting scar. Removes Deep Creases Over time it's likely that deep wrinkles...

According to a 2019 report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, botulinum toxin injection is a major trend. With 7. 7 million procedures throughout the U. S. , it’s clear that these cosmetic injectables are more popular than ever. But if you’re considering trying these cosmetic tools, you might find that the steps are a little confusing. With plenty of products on the market, including crowd-pleasers like Botox and Dysport, you may not be clear on which option is best. How can you get the results you want? Let’s take a look at the basics of Botox vs Dysport, including the main product differences, cost considerations, and more. What Are Botox and Dysport? Both Botox and Dysport are brand-name products derived from type A botulinum toxin. Botox has been around a bit longer—since 2002, compared to Dysport’s 2009—but these products work in similar ways. The toxin in these products blocks your nerve signals to your muscles, thus temporarily paralyzing them. The result is a face that looks visibly “softer” or more relaxed, with deep wrinkles growing smoother after treatment. In other words, both of these neuromodulators are effective, if temporary, solutions for wrinkles. You’ll need follow-up injections to maintain your appearance, but both products are great options for anyone looking for anti-aging benefits. In addition, both of these solutions are FDA-approved, so they’re considered safe for candidates who qualify for treatment. Common side effects include numbness, headaches, or pain, all of which tend to fade in the hours after treatment. However, as mentioned above, there are a few key differences between these products, in spite of their similarities. Product Differences Between Dysport and Botox While there are a few key differences between Dysport and Botox—which we’ll get into below—it’s worth taking time to understand the more granular product differences between these brands. Dilution One of the biggest differences between Dysport and Botox is how each is produced. Dysport is more diluted than Botox is. This doesn’t mean that Dysport is any less effective, but it does mean you may need to undergo more sessions or get more dosage units if you opt for Dysport. Diffusion Dysport has smaller molecules and thus greater diffusion than Botox. This means that it spreads to a wider area of the skin after injection. For this reason, Dysport can sometimes be better for treating larger areas of the face. Onset Dysport has a shorter onset period than Botox, meaning that you’ll see the effects faster. With Dysport, you’ll often see your final results within about 24 hours. With Botox, on the other hand, you may need to wait up to 72 hours. Beyond these minor differences, of course, there are a few key considerations that patients should weigh before they make their final decision. Choosing Between Dysport and Botox by Facial Area As noted above, Botox tends to have little spread beyond the injection area, while Dysport diffuses across more of the skin. This small nuance can make a big difference in terms of treatment. For certain areas, one option may have a clear advantage over the other. Here are a few common examples of when your dermatologist may recommend each product. Crows’ Feet These wrinkles around the eyes tend to be shallow, spreading away from the corners of the eyes. Because it dilutes well within larger areas, Dysport is the better choice for these fine wrinkles. 11 Lines The glabellar lines, or “11 lines,” appear as small parallel lines between the eyebrows. Depending on the depth, Botox may be a better choice, as this product works better with deeper wrinkles. Forehead Lines The deep horizontal lines that appear as a result of furrowing the brow can be a great location in which to use Dysport. However, for particularly deep or stubborn wrinkles, Botox may be the better choice. Lip Lines Sometimes called “smokers’ lines,” these wrinkles appear perpendicular to the lips. Because the target area is often deep and defined, Botox may be the better option. It’s worth noting, of course, that you can use both Botox and Dysport as needed to achieve the appearance you seek. Because each product works well on different areas of the face, you may find that the combination of both offers more favorable results! Botox vs Dysport for Medical Issues Both of these products have uses beyond cosmetic changes, so you may find yourself referred to a plastic surgeon for problems like TMJ, migraines, or muscle spasms. If this is the case for you, you’ll find that both Botox and Dysport have been proven to help with medical issues like these. Dysport vs Botox: Cost Considerations For most patients, comparing the costs of Dysport and Botox is a major factor in deciding which to choose, especially because most insurance carriers won’t cover this treatment unless it’s for medical purposes. However, the cost can vary wildly from person to person, as it depends on the size of the skin you’re treating and the deepness of the wrinkles there. On average, Botox will cost patients a little more than Dysport will. However, you’ll only be able to determine the final cost comparison once you’ve spoken to a medical professional about the number of units you’ll need. Dysport or Botox: Which Lasts Longer? Another common concern from patients is the duration of results. As mentioned above, both Dysport and Botox will show results within a few days of treatment. However, the results of Dysport don’t last as long as the results of Botox. You can expect Dysport to last between 3-4 months, while Botox can last up to 6 months. Ask a Medical Professional About Your Choice Though Dysport and Botox have a few clear-cut differences, it may not be immediately obvious which one you should choose. Fortunately, you don’t need to make the decision alone. Talking to a plastic surgery professional can help you understand which option is best. At Wave Plastic Surgery, our team is here to help you navigate your choice. If you’re considering Botox, Dysport, or...

### Traveling for Plastic Surgery: Benefits and Risks

> Traveling for Plastic Surgery is a big commitment, so it's important to know the risks and benefits beforehand. This guide has all you need to know.

Have you been looking into getting plastic surgery? There are plenty of reasons that you might want to alter your appearance. Whether you're looking for a quick lip lift, a jaw augmentation, a Brazillian butt lift, or anything else that you think might give you a confidence boost, the stigma of plastic surgery is getting reduced every day. Some people consider traveling for plastic surgery. Whether they're interested in better prices, specific surgeons, or certain procedures that are more common in other countries, medical tourism isn't uncommon. But is it right for you? We're here to talk about the pros and cons of opting to travel for your cosmetic medical procedures. Keep reading to learn more.   Overseas Travel It's common for people to want to travel overseas for their cosmetic procedures. Some countries specialize in certain types of plastic surgery. For example, South Korea is a common cosmetic surgery destination for its jaw reduction and facial feminization techniques.   But is it the right answer for your cosmetic surgery?   Pros of Overseas Travel As we mentioned, sometimes certain countries (or doctors from certain countries) specialize in specific procedures. If you're aiming for a certain "look," it makes sense for you to want to go somewhere where that look is a common result.   Sometimes people overlook the fact that many plastic surgeons use the same techniques and are able to get you your desired appearance if you show them what you're going for.   Sometimes doctors overseas have more affordable treatments. Because most types of cosmetic surgery aren't covered by insurance, the cost is a huge factor for people who are ultimately seeking out surgery that isn't essential.   In this way, some people may benefit from traveling overseas. Cons of Overseas Travel All of that said, there are problems with the decision to go overseas for your plastic surgery needs. The first is the overall expense. Yes, it's sometimes cheaper to get the procedure itself overseas, but consider the costs of traveling and the costs associated with staying in the area for the duration.   Many people are misled by celebrities and influencers who get their procedures overseas because they make it look easy. In reality, these people have more money to burn.   Also, consider the aftercare period. While you'll likely stay in the area in the time immediately following your procedure so that you can get the initial healing out of the way, you'll have to go home eventually.   Your stay will be extended if you want the surgeon on-hand in case of any emergencies or problems, and if you leave to go back home, you won't have that surgeon nearby to help you.   All cosmetic surgery is expensive. Medical tourism, though, adds the extra costs of travel and lodging and the potential physical cost of mismanaging the healing period. Domestic Travel So what about traveling within your own country? If you do your research, you'll find that there are plenty of great plastic surgeons within the borders of the United States, even if you might have to travel out of your own state. Traveling within your own country for a medical procedure comes with some of the same drawbacks of international travel, but it also comes with some huge benefits. Pros and Cons Of Domestic Traveling for Plastic Surgery On the downside, you are still traveling, and you'll still have the costs associated with that travel, especially if you're from out-of-state. That means that lodging and flights are your responsibility. That said, traveling from within the country is far cheaper than trying to travel internationally. The person that you're seeing may not specialize in exactly what you're looking for. That being said, plastic surgeons, like the ones in Los Angeles who serve all kinds of patients, are masters in their field. If you show them what you want, they'll be able to make your dreams come true.   When you get your surgery in your own country, you know that you're going to have access to your surgeon during the healing period. Even if you have to fly back home, it's easier to arrange online consultations and fly back if necessary. How to Travel for Cosmetic Surgery So how do you get started when you decide to travel for your plastic surgery? You're going to want to start with the research stage. All surgeons have their own specialties. Look around to find one who has a portfolio of before and after shots that make you feel confident that they're right for you.   After this, set up a consultation. Many offices offer online or phone consultations so that you can make sure you're seeing the right doctor before you travel. This should happen several months before you plan to travel.   You'll talk to a representative about what you want to modify and why you want to change it, as well as a set of photos and measurements. They will then give that information to a doctor and set you up for another consultation.   Once you've discussed your desires with your surgeon and you feel comfortable with them, it's time to book your travel!   Your doctor may have a suggested list of lodging options. When you're coming from out of state, you might be overwhelmed by choices. You need to plan for a long stay, as you'll have a pre-operation examination a week or so before your surgery. They'll also send prescriptions to your home pharmacy. Before you know it, it will be time for your surgery. Your doctor will send you home with all of the important healing information that you need, and all follow-up consults can be done over video chat. The short flight from Los Angeles to your home shouldn't be problematic for your healing.   Traveling for Cosmetic Surgery: Go Domestic  Traveling for plastic surgery allows you to find the perfect doctor for your situation. While there are awesome surgeons everywhere, it's fine to want to...

Looking for the anti-aging results of a facelift but nervous about the trouble of going through surgery? There are plenty of cosmetic procedures to combat wrinkles, sagging skin, or other signs of aging. And not all these procedures require incisions. In fact, did you know that you can undergo a facelift without surgery? Non-surgical facelifts have become more and popular for men and women trying to revitalize their faces naturally. Interested? Keep reading to learn more about how to get a facelift without surgery. The Traditional Facelift  During a traditional facelift, incisions are made on either side of the face from the temples. The incision comes around the front of the ears ending behind the ears near the base of the scalp. Another incision can be made under the chin for neck lifting.   For years, this surgery was the only way to lift the skin and remove sagging skin. But not anymore! Below is a list of 9 of the best non-surgical facelift treatments for a youthful appearance. 1. Brow Lift An injection of cosmetic filler can give the same lifting effect as the traditional facelift procedure but without any incisions. The filler acts as a plumping agent to raise your brows.   Some fillers require repeat injections every few months, but others have longer-lasting effects. Fillers that contain collagen-stimulating solutions work by helping your skin create more natural collagen. Collagen is responsible for keeping skin firm and smooth. 2. Ultherapy Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology. Using concentrated ultrasound energy, Ultherapy reduces unwanted lines and wrinkles. It can increase the body's production of collagen while restoring skin to a natural, healthy-looking appearance. Ultherapy can lift and tighten the skin including around the neck. In only an hour you can see the results for yourself. When used with fillers and a skincare regimen, Ultherapy is even more effective! Ultherapy can be expensive but it's far less than the budget for facelifts. 3. Botox Much like the technology behind the brow lift, Botox is a proven solution to reduce unwanted lines and wrinkles in the face. If you have crow’s feet, forehead creases, or frown lines, you might want to consider scheduling a consult for Botox. Botox works by relaxing muscles in your face that tend to tense up over time. It requires injections but hardly any recovery time at all, meaning minimal downtime for you. Botox may work for several months before additional injections are needed. Be sure to follow your cosmetic surgeon's guidelines before and after Botox treatment. Following those instructions will lead to the best possible results from your Botox. The proven results from Botox make it one of the most effective non-surgical facelifts. 4. FORMA Have you heard of FORMA? It's a skin elasticity treatment. Over time our skin becomes less firm and tight causing it to look tired or saggy. With FORMA treatment you can reverse those effects almost immediately.   FORMA uses radiofrequency to improve skin tightness. It can be used for the face or other areas of the body. FORMA is used as a non-surgical facelift technique for people that want better skin contour immediately without having to rest before resuming activity. 5. Kybella If you are insecure about the appearance of your neck you might be a good candidate for Kybella. Kybella is a non-surgical procedure to reduce the appearance of fat around the neck and jaw area. Kybella is an injection. Treatment requires several visits over a three to a four-month period of time. The treatments are fairly quick but they sometimes result in pain or swelling to the injection area.   While Kybella requires more than one treatment session, the results of this non-surgical neck lift are astounding. See for yourself! 6. Sculptra Sculptra is another injectible alternative to a facelift. It's used to treat deep lines and creases in the skin. It often results in a more youthful appearance of the face. Sculptra was approved by the FDA in 2009. It is a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of aging. As with many other procedures, Sculptra can have side effects at the injection site. Talk to your cosmetic surgeon about potential side effects if you are concerned. 7. Microneedling Don't worry - it's not as scary as it sounds. Microneedling is a procedure using small needles to stick the surface of the face. By doing this, collagen can regenerate. The skin becomes smoother and firmer than before. Microneedling can treat facial scars, wrinkles, or oversized pores. It is minimally invasive and considered a safe skin rejuvenation practice. The treatment may require several visits for the best results. 8. Chemical Peel A chemical peel can help improve skin texture and appearance. Chemical peels offer a short-term solution if you have uneven color or texture on your facial skin. It may not have the same dramatic effects as fillers or a facelift but this skin resurfacing treatment can provide a younger, fresher look.   A chemical peel works by removing layers of dry, damaged skin to reveal the healthy skin underneath. The procedure is usually short but it may require some rest time afterward. Dermatologists or other skincare professionals can do a chemical peel. Chemical peels are not considered a long-term solution to aging skin but they can create a temporary healthy glow. 9. Lasers Yep, lasers. They're not just for science fiction movies anymore. Lasers can reach below the surface of the skin to help the body produce more collagen.   The lasers heat the collagen which causes it to expand and tighten the skin. This skin tightening treatment can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Some people choose to use laser treatment along with fillers to produce better results. Ready to Try a Facelift Without Surgery? Everyone gets older - but you don't have to look like it. With the options above, you can experience all the benefits of a facelift without surgery.   Consult with a medical professional before undergoing any type of...

Dermal fillers are useful anywhere, including the eyebrows, around the mouth, in hollows under the eyes (tear troughs), and crow's feet regions. They also help plump up lips. But what exactly are dermal fillers? And how do they work?

Dermal Filler Safety Did you know that nearly 20 million Americans undergo plastic surgery each year? Dermal fillers offer a quick, easy way to plump up and rejuvenate thin, sunken areas of your face. They can also correct fine lines around the lips, so it's no surprise that half of people aged 40-60 are treating themselves to surgery. Dermal fillers are useful anywhere, including the eyebrows, around the mouth, in hollows under the eyes (tear troughs), and crow's feet regions. They also help plump up lips. But what exactly are dermal fillers? And how do they work? We've compiled an ultimate comprehensive guide on dermal fillers, so you can find out all you need to help decide if it's something worth considering for yourself. What Are Dermal Fillers? Dermal Fillers are non-allergic gel substances that plump up and smooth out wrinkles. They are very popular as they give excellent results with minimal downtime. Dermal Fillers, in most cases, consist of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in your body. Dermal fillers can also correct defects such as wrinkles, folds, and scars. How Do Dermal Fillers Work? There are now hundreds of different dermal fillers available on the market. Still, they all work similarly – by injecting a gel substance into the skin’s deeper layers. The gel causes the collagen underneath to swell, which lifts and tightens the skin’s top layers (the epidermis). Once the gel wears off, the skin’s average elasticity then kicks in and produces collagen all by itself. What are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers? Dermal fillers were first developed to treat wounds after surgery or accidents but have since evolved for cosmetic use. While the procedure is still a form of surgery, it is more like a quick jab than significant surgery. It is usually carried out in a beauty clinic using a local anesthetic with minimal downtime. You can then go about your everyday life again within 24 hours. The results are immediate and usually last for 12 months or thereabouts. One of the most significant advantages of dermal fillers is that they are affordable. Anyone can afford them as an alternative to plastic surgery, which can be expensive, but dermal fillers are much cheaper. Compared to other types of anti-aging treatments, dermal fillers offer a much faster turnaround. Dermal fillers are a speedy way to plump up or smooth out your skin areas that have become thin over time. They are often chosen for use on the face, lips, eyes, and neck and come in various forms. Can Dermal Fillers be Used to Treat Scars? Yes. If you have a scar that’s affecting your well-being, dermal fillers can be an excellent way to treat it. They can smooth out and soften the appearance of scars, making them less noticeable. It’s important to realize that dermal fillers won’t make spots disappear, but they can make them less prominent. They are excellent for treating scars that result from operations such as tummy tucks and breast surgery. Dermal Fillers are becoming increasingly popular to repair fine lines around the lips and correct deep wrinkles on the face and neck. They are also useful for plumping up aged cheeks and lips. Be sure to talk with a qualified practitioner if you’re considering dermal fillers, and let them know what your goals are. They can recommend the right solution for you. How Long do Dermal Fillers Last? Dermal fillers have a temporary effect; the improvement level varies from person to person, but most benefits will last six months to a year. After this period, you may need further filler treatment. Dermal fillers are not permanent. Some dermal fillers contain a small amount of a radioactive material called Radium-223, which stimulates collagen production over time. Over the next year or so, your body will have produced enough natural collagen to make up for the amount added by the dermal filler. Others form from hyaluronic acid, a sugar-based chemical found in our bodies and gives our skin a plump, youthful appearance. These fillers last longer and stimulate collagen production, which replaces the filler after it has worn off. This means that you’ll need periodic top-ups every six months or so to maintain your results. How Many Injections Will I Need? Results vary depending on the individual and other factors like your skin condition and how much corrective work you need. Usually, two injections spaced four weeks apart can achieve results that will hold for at least 6-9 months. For more stubborn cases or those requiring more correction: three or four injections are a possibility. Who Are the Best Candidates for Endoscopic Plastic Surgery? Endoscopic plastic surgery is ideal for all patients. It’s a flexible procedure, the surgeon only needs to make small incisions, and recovery time is usually shorter. Keep in mind, intense plastic surgery requires larger incisions. Discuss with your surgeon whether endoscopic plastic surgery is right for your procedure. What Happens During a Dermal Filler Session? Your practitioner will first clean your skin and inject a local anesthetic to numb the treated area. While you may feel a little stinging right after the drug, you’ll soon be pain-free. The practitioner then uses a fine needle to administer the filler to your skin. At the same time, the anesthetic works to put you at ease. The syringe delivers a minute amount of the stuffing into each wrinkle or at each wrinkle’s origin. More than one injection is normal to achieve more detailed results. This process repeats for each...

### What are Neuromodulators?

Supple skin. Smooth foreheads. Tight cheeks. That is what most Americans aim for. But a youthful face comes at a price. In fact, the amount of money women spend on beauty supplies is close to a college education. Yup, you read that right. The average woman spends $225,360 on beauty supplies throughout her life. But instead of investing in over-the-counter creams and serums, there are more effective solutions. Cosmetic treatments that use neuromodulators stop wrinkles in their tracks and reverse signs of aging. What are neuromodulators? And what cosmetic procedures utilize them? Let's get to the bottom of your anti-aging treatment questions. What Are Neuromodulators? Neuromodulators are messengers released from neurons in the central nervous system. They regulate and affect how signals are transmitted between neurons. Keep in mind that neuromodulators are not the same neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that assist in neuron to neuron communication. Neuromodulators target whole groups of neurons. In fact, neuromodulators can change neuronal signal transmissions. They do this by regulating the number of neurotransmitters synthesized and released by the neurons. While neurotransmitters target fast-responding neuroreceptors, neuromodulators react with G-protein neuroreceptors. Examples of neuromodulators in our bodies include: Noradrenaline (norepinephrine) Dopamine Serotonin These neuromodulators change the cellular properties of neurons to alter the transmissions that occur between them. How Are Neuromodulators Used in Cosmetic Procedures? One of the biggest benefits of neuromodulators is their ability to relax facial muscles and prevent muscle contractions. The restricted movements lead to: Less oil production Fewer age-related blemishes (like wrinkles, fine lines, Crow's feet, etc. ) A reduction in sweating Tighter skin Facial contouring for a younger-looking appearance These extensive neuromodulator benefits are why many cosmetic surgeons use neuromodulators in their procedures. Neuromodulator Injections Neuromodulators commonly come in the form of injectables. Once inserted into the skin, the neuromodulators prevent facial muscles from moving. The injections freeze and relax the muscles. The effects can last up to six months. Low doses of a specified neuromodulator are injected into the muscles that need relaxing. As the muscle weakens, the skin softens, and wrinkles gradually disappear. This takes about one week. The result is rejuvenated and younger-looking skin. Neuromodulator injections are relatively painless, fast to perform, and require no downtime. Cosmetic Treatments Using Neuromodulators Neuromodulators are best-used for repairing or preventing facial blemishes caused by muscle movement. The injections cannot treat blemishes caused by external factors, like sun damage. Rather, the benefits of neuromodulators come from targeting dynamic wrinkles. These are lines caused by repeated muscle contractions. Dynamic wrinkles occur from frowning, brow furrowing, and squinting. The most common neuromodulator injections are: Botox® Dysport® Xeomin® All three treatments are FDA-approved. As long as administered by a cosmetic specialist, the treatments are safe to receive. Botox® While you may not be familiar with the term neuromodulation, you may recognize the name Botox®. That's because Botox® has been the most popular aesthetic treatment in the United States for the last 20 years. Botox® treatments use neuromodulators to diminish and prevent wrinkles and fine lines. In 2018, there were 7. 23 million Botox® injections, a 200% increase from 2000. Botox® comes from a compound produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. It acts as an inhibitor, which is why Botox® qualifies as a neuromodulator. The injection binds to muscle receptors. This blocks the release of acetylcholine, which activates muscles. By inhibiting acetylcholine, Botox® reduces muscle contractions to create a rejuvenated-looking face. Botox® Botox® Benefits Botox® injections are ideal for people looking to get rid of: Frown and forehead lines Bunny lines (lines running across the nose) Crow's feet (eye wrinkles) Gummy smiles (overexposing teeth and gums when smiling) Glabellar wrinkles (vertical lines between the eyebrows) Mentalis dysfunction (chin dents) Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) Botox® is safe for all skin types. Treatments typically last between three and six months. Results appear within seven to nine days. Dysport® Dysport® works similarly to Botox®. It is a neuromodulator that targets glabellar wrinkles. These are fine lines around the eyebrows that extend into the forehead. Glabellar lines are most noticeable when a person frowns. Neuromodulators are inserted into the target area to relax the muscles. A cosmetic specialist may first treat the injection site with a topical anesthetic to reduce pain. The process takes minutes. Patients can immediately leave after. Dysport® injections are more diluted than Botox ones. Therefore, the patient may need to receive more doses. Dysport® Benefits Dysport® diffuses better than Botox®. That is why Botox® is best for diminishing small wrinkles around the eyes. Dysport® is ideal for rejuvenating the skin across larger areas, like the forehead. Dysport® reacts faster than Botox®. Most patients see changes two to five days after their treatment. Results last between three and six months. Xeomin® Xeomin® is another popular neuromodulator treatment. It weakens facial muscle movements to produce younger-looking skin. Xeomin® is derived from incobotulinum toxin a. It works fast to relax muscle contractions and create smooth, blemish-free skin. The injections target the forehead. Specifically, Xeomin® is injected between the eyebrows to create softer frown lines. Xeomin® Benefits Xeomin® does not include the same proteins as Botox® and Dysport®. Therefore, it is a promising alternative for patients who feel their current injections are no longer working. Xeomin® results appear between seven and nine days and last for three to six months. It is safe for all skin types. Are You Ready to Enhance Your Appearance? What are neuromodulators? Neuromodulators prevent muscle movements to keep your skin looking youthful. These treatments are safe, fast, and easy to get. So, now that you know all about neuromodulation, are you ready to reduce your wrinkles? If so, you have come to the right place. Find a qualified cosmetic specialist near you and schedule a consultation. We will discuss your goals and evaluate your skin to determine which neuromodulator treatment is best for you. Together, we can reduce fine lines and rejuvenate your skin.

### How To Get Rid of Bags Under Your Eyes

It's an uncomfortable truth that our physical looks do matter in some ways. If we aren't confident in our appearance, both our personal and professional lives can be affected. (In fact, even today's business leaders recognize the value of self-confidence in our career growth. ) So, if you're interested in how to get rid of bags under your eyes, you've come to the right article. Below is everything you need to know about keeping those dark circles away. From home remedies to eye bags surgery, there are plenty of treatment options. You deserve to feel empowered in your own skin, no matter how old or stressed you get. Keep reading for the top tips and tricks to help you maintain that youthful glow. The Reason Bags Start to Appear Under Our Eyes The technical term for a bag underneath the eye is an infraorbital dark circle. There are multiple factors contributing to what causes bags under the eyes, including genetics. Some bone structures and skin compositions are unfortunately more prone to this.   Everyone, though, can be affected by dark circles appearing under the eyes over time. Age, stress, and malnutrition are other natural causes. Seasonal allergies might cause these areas to be filled with fluid and, therefore, puffy. In our middle-aged years and beyond, our facial structures undergo a natural aging process. In time, we actually start to lose bone mass in our facial skin. At the same time, facial fat can increase, causing puffiness underneath the eyes. As a result, under-eye bags can form and even darken more and more over time. The skin in this area starts to sag because the tissue has been softened and become more flexible. The skin underneath our eyes is already a softer, more sensitive tissue in the first place. With age, tons of direct sunlight, or even toxic substances, the darkness could just continue to worsen. Understand the Importance of Collagen Production One major reason under-eye bags appear happens when our bodies struggle to produce collagen. Collagen is a protein that's responsible for the tightness of our skin, as well as healthy joints. When our skin loses that tightness, it also loses that youthful glow. In fact, that's when and why wrinkles start to appear.   As a result of this process, there are a ton of beauty products out there aimed at helping. In particular, the cosmetic industry creates products that boost collagen production. With more collagen in the area underneath our eyes, those dark circles are less likely to form. That's because this protein acts like a "glue" holding those facial features in place. In our younger years, we have a ton of collagen until it starts to decline later on. Plus, there are some foods you can try to eat to boost your body's natural collagen production. For the most part, these foods include meat and related substances, such as bone broth. Dairy and citrus fruits with a lot of Vitamin C are also great foods to help boost collagen levels. Regular Preventative Measures to Boost Your Skin's Health One of the causes of under-eye bags is the sun itself. With too much exposure to the sun and its ultraviolet rays, our skin can exhibit real damage. A ton of direct sunlight on the face can also cause those pesky dark spots to develop. For that reason, wear plenty of sunscreen every time you go outside. This is of particular importance for our face and its skin's health. Invest in your favorite brand of SPF 30 sunscreen to ensure your skincare treatments aren't ruined by overexposure to the sun's harmful rays.   Another great practice to remember has to do with our body's hydration. Drinking plenty of water (at least eight glasses) every single day is critical to our skin's health. Do your best to maintain these healthy habits to boost your youth and prevent the development of under-eye bags. Avoid Certain Substances and Habits There are also specific things you should avoid if you want to prevent under-eye bags. This includes substances with a lot of harmful toxins such as cigarettes or alcohol.   There's nothing wrong with letting loose on your weekends with your friends, of course. Remember, though, that every time you smoke a cigarette or drink a cocktail, you're contributing to the potential growth of dark under-eye bags. Household Remedies to Get Rid of Bags Under Your Eyes It's true that long-term preventative skincare is your best bet to prevent under-eye bags. Not everyone can expect to avoid them forever, though. The good news is that there are several home remedies you can practice for maintenance. Work these habits into your regular self-care or skincare routine to alleviate any darkness you notice under your eyes.   The most affordable and perhaps traditional treatment for under-eye bags is that of a cold compress. Wrap some ice in a damp towel to place on your eyes for a few minutes every day.   This can immediately reduce swelling in the area under your eyes - plus, it's a relaxing ritual! Even medical experts suggest a cold compress can treat under-eye bags from the convenience of home. It's also a common practice to turn to caffeine to reduce the darkness that appears underneath our eyes. Pick your favorite caffeinated tea or brand of coffee to reduce the effect of dark circles with ease.   Other things you can buy for your under-eye bags include a lot of allergy treatments. Using neti-pots can help clear out any drainage in the sinuses underneath the eyes. Medicines with antihistamines can also reduce the swelling and darkness under our eyes.   Consider a Direct Treatment Like Microneedling One non-surgical procedure that targets under-eye bags is that of a microneedle treatment. If you're willing to spend some money on improving the area under your eyes, this can help tighten the skin there. As mentioned above, the natural levels of collagen in our skin affect its tightness. A proper microneedle treatment will infuse...

There are many different types of breast augmentations. Through this article, we hope to inform you of the different types of procedures, and which may be the best fit for you.

It's 2021: There should be no shame surrounding plastic surgery. That includes breast augmentation. What I bet you didn't know is that there are many different types of breast augmentations. Through this article, we hope to inform you of the different types of procedures, and which may be the best fit for you.   What is the Difference Between Breast Augmentation and Breast Lift? Breast augmentation and breast lifts are actually different procedures. They both change the shape of the breast but go about it in different ways. Wave Plastic Surgery provides a variety of plastic surgeries focused on the breasts, and this article’s intention is to inform you of the varying options available. With a breast lift, there is no size or filling added to the breast. Instead, it's a simple lift of the breast tissue. In the procedure, sagging breast tissue is lifted and tightened to make the breast seem firmer and perkier.   Breast becoming a bit saggier is natural, and often time comes with age. The elasticity in your breast weakens. Another reason the breast skin may lose its elasticity is because of pregnancy and breastfeeding. A breast lift can help restore a more youthful look.   Breast augmentation, however, is the process of making the breast look fuller. The various implants go under the breast tissue. Most commonly, breast implants are made of saline or silicone.   Over the years, however, there have been many other implant materials created. Implants are very safe. Silicone implants create a natural look and feel. Saline carries a risk of rupturing, though this is uncommon.   Both breast lifts and breast augmentation procedures are performed in outpatient surgical facilities.   Different Types of Breast Augmentations and Implants We already mentioned that saline and silicone breast implants are the most common, but there are specific surgeries for each.   There is a saline breast implant as well as a structured saline breast implant.   A structured saline breast implant has a filling of sterile alien water and an inner structure. The added structure helps make the saline implant feel more natural.   For a silicone breast implant, a patient should expect their breast to be filled with silicone gel. This gel has a similar feeling to natural breast tissue.   A silicone implant can leak. The filling will either stay in the implant shell or it may make it to the breast implant pocket. If for some reason there is a leak, the implant will not collapse.   Breast Augmentation Procedure A pair of breasts can still grow into a woman's late teens or early twenties. The FDA has a law that women under eighteen cannot receive a breast implant. Women over eighteen can receive saline-filled implants and women twenty-two or older are eligible to receive saline implants.   Before the procedure is performed, you will meet with your surgeon and be medically evaluated. This is the time to talk to the surgeon about your hopes for the procedure as well as receive feedback from them.   The surgery is fairly simple and will only take an hour or two. Most patients receive anesthesia to ensure that the operation is free of pain.   During the procedure, a cut will be made either under your breast, arms or possibly around your nipples -- this all depends on your body type and the intended outcome of the surgery.   Once the incision is made, the surgeon will place the breast implant into a pocket in the chest muscle. The incision will be mended with either surgical tape or sutures.   The recovery is fairly simple. It requires just a few days of taking it easy, such as not lifting heavy things or exercising aggressively.   Easily manage the pain with over-the-counter medication, or your doctor may prescribe you something smaller.   Breast Lift Procedure The medical jargon for a breast lift is also called, "mastopexy. " The general purpose of a breast lift surgery is to change the shape of the breasts. During the procedure, extra skin in the breast is removed and the breast tissue is reshaped to make the breasts perkier.   In addition to reducing the sagginess of the breast, the nipples may undergo re-figuration or reduction to match and keep them in proportion to the new shape of the breasts.   Incisions for a breast lift, according to Mayo Clinic, are either made:  around the areolae— the darker area surrounding the nipples Extending downward from the areolae to the breast creases Horizontally along the breast creases The procedure includes the nipples being shifted into a higher, perkier position as well as the removal of extra skin in the breasts.   The surgery at most will be three hours, allowing the patient to go home within the same day.   After the surgery, the changes made will be immediate and noticeable. For a breast lift surgery, your bra size may even go down, this just means that your breasts are far more firm and round than they were before the procedure.   Boosting Your Confidence With a Breast Augmentation A breast augmentation surgery will help to boost your confidence — making it worth every penny. A survey conducted by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery even reported that a woman with confidence can experience greater and more enhanced sexual pleasure.   So, there are definitely perks (excuse the pun) to getting plastic surgery on your breasts.   Schedule a Consultation We hope this article informed you about the difference between breast augmentation vs. breast lifts and the various types of breast augmentation.

Common Questions Demand for plastic surgery continues increasing. But many patients aren’t going under the knife to receive traditional forms of plastic surgery. You may be surprised by how many patients are opting for minimally invasive alternatives. Are you interested in receiving minimally invasive plastic surgery? There are minimally invasive plastic surgery procedures to remove facial fat, treat the symptoms of aging, and even plastic surgery that uses an endoscope to make them less invasive and speed up recovery time. Read our comprehensive guide and understand everything you need to know. What Is Minimally Invasive Plastic Surgery? Minimally invasive procedures have similar results as surgical cosmetic procedures, except many aspects of traditional surgery aren’t used. For example, the surgeon won’t make large incisions and the patient won’t go under anesthesia. Minimally invasive procedures use different techniques, such as micro-needling, to produce the same results without incisions. There are also specific procedures, such as endoscopic surgery. What Is Endoscopic Surgery? Endoscopic surgery (endoscopy) uses a special instrument to see inside the body. The surgeon makes a very small incision to insert the instrument. Endoscopy isn’t new; this technique is used for a variety of ailments and procedures, such as tubal litigation, gallbladder removal, and knee surgery. However, endoscopy is new in the world of plastic surgery and we’re still seeing how this method can result in ground-breaking minimally invasive results. What Is an Endoscope? Endoscopy uses an endoscope to view the inside of our bodies. The endoscope has two main parts: a probe fitted with a camera and a viewing screen. The surgeon makes a small incision to insert the probe while the medical staff views the internal body’s images on the screen. With that being said, an endoscope’s purpose is for viewing only. During surgery, the medical staff will have a wide variety of instruments for different uses. But that doesn’t mean the endoscope’s purpose isn’t significant. Endoscopic Procedures: Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery How can we use an endoscope in plastic and cosmetic procedures? Here’s a breakdown of the different methods. Cosmetic Surgery The endoscope can benefit certain cosmetic procedures, such as breast augmentation. The endoscope can help the surgeon position the implants correctly on the chest wall. If a patient is correcting a previous augmentation, the surgeon can use an endoscope to find scar tissue and other issues. Another endoscopy use is in abdominoplasty (commonly called a tummy tuck). Let’s say the patient lost significant abdominal muscles. The endoscope can follow the abdominal muscles downward so the surgeon can tighten the muscles through multiple short incisions. Facelifts and forehead lifts will also benefit from endoscope use. The endoscope prevents making large incisions, specifically in the forehead. The surgeon can make a small incision where they will make the corrections, and the endoscope will show the surgeon where to place implants or remove muscles that produce frown lines. Reconstructive Surgery The endoscope doesn’t only make cosmetic minimally invasive. Commonly reconstructive procedures are also improving thanks to endoscopy. For example, patients with skin issues are given tissue expanders to help the skin stretch. With an endoscope, the surgeon only has to make a small incision and ensure the expander is properly positioned. The endoscope also prevents large incisions from other serious procedures, such as flap surgery. Flap surgery is when healthy tissue (usually from a donor) repairs another part of the body. The endoscope prevents large incisions from the donor’s side, using the camera to identify the spots of healthy tissue growth. Endoscopes can also help a surgeon see specific bodily functions, such as nerves. In carpal tunnel release, the surgeon can make a small incision in the wrist to find the median nerve. From here, the surgeon can make a separate small incision to cut the ligament that’s putting pressure on the nerve. Even patients with sinus problems can benefit from endoscopy. The endoscope can enter the sinus cavity and pinpoint the sinus-drainage problems. They can also find nasal polyps. Advantages of Endoscopic Surgery Over Traditional Surgery Endoscopy can achieve amazing results, in both plastic surgery as well as reconstructive surgery. But what are the specific advantages? Reduced Scarring In traditional surgery, the surgeon will likely have to make a large incision in order to see the body. But an endoscopy enhances visibility, so the surgeon only needs to make a small incision. As a result, the patient will only have small scars that will heal quickly. Oftentimes, these scars won’t be visible after they heal. Faster Recovery Time Endoscopy minimizes many of the post-OP side effects, such as bruising, bleeding, and swelling. Patients who receive endoscopic surgery usually recover quickly and can get back to their daily life activities quicker than they would if they had traditional surgery. Fewer Risks Keep in mind, minimally invasive surgery is still surgery. No surgery comes without side effects. However, endoscopic surgery does have fewer side effects than traditional procedures. As stated previously, endoscopic procedures come with smaller and fewer incisions. This decreases the risk of common post-OP problems, such as nerve damage and sensory loss. Because of this, many patients can return home after their operation. Traditional surgery requires a hospital stay to ensure they’re not experiencing dangerous side effects. Most endoscopic procedures are done on an outpatient basis, only using local anesthesia with sedation. Are There Any Risks of Endoscopic Plastic Surgery? The endoscope has only been recently added to plastic surgery treatments. While we see they aid the surgeon and result in quicker recovery, we’re still researching the exact impact that the endoscope has on plastic surgery. Other possible risks depend on the severity of your surgery. These may include fluid accumulation under the skin, infection, nerve damage, blood...

### What are the Different Types of Rhinoplasty?

> Discover the various types of rhinoplasty surgeries, from open to closed, ethnic, and revision rhinoplasty. ✓ Learn which one is right for you here!

Opting for rhinoplasty is a big step towards creating the version of you that you desire. However, it helps to know more about the procedure. Your nose is a central feature of your face. Rhinoplasty can help you to achieve balance and proportion. However, every patient is different. Resultantly, no two rhinoplasty procedures are alike. Still, rhinoplasty helps patients to address a few similar concerns. With the right information—and surgeon—rhinoplasty can serve as the solution you seek to improve your appearance. For everything you need to know about all types of rhinoplasty, keep reading. Understanding Rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty surgery can improve the function of the nose. Alternatively, a surgeon might use the procedure to change the shape of a nose. You may often hear people refer to rhinoplasty as a nose job or nose reshaping. A patient might desire the procedure because of conditions that occur due to genetics or trauma. Rhinoplasty can also help to remedy functional issues within the structure of the nose. For example, a surgeon might perform rhinoplasty to fix a breathing problem. There is no such thing as a perfect nose. However, rhinoplasty can help to create facial symmetry and improve your self-confidence. It’s important to understand that a rhinoplasty procedure is only as good as the surgeon. For this reason, it’s vital to choose an expert surgeon that’s experienced in performing the procedure. Your nose has delicate features. It consists of bone, cartilage, and soft tissue. Furthermore, it’s the only facial feature that has three dimensions. Accordingly, it’s important to choose a skilled surgeon with a sharp eye for creative detail. A trained and experienced surgeon can help you achieve the right results. Top Reasons for a Rhinoplasty Procedure There are several reasons why a patient might want a surgeon to perform a rhinoplasty procedure. For example, a hump nose is a common concern among rhinoplasty candidates. A hump nose looks normal. However, it features a bump on the bridge. With a rhinoplasty procedure, patients can address this kind of issue. This kind of procedure involves smoothing out the cartilage on the bridge of the nose. Other patients may have a crooked nose. Rhinoplasty can help patients achieve a symmetrical appearance. It can also enable a surgeon to repair a deviated septum. The procedure to correct a deviated septum is called a septorhinoplasty. Alternatively, a patient may have an over or under-projected nose. With an over-projected nose, the nose would appear too large for the size of the face. Conversely, a nose may look too small compared to the size of a face if the patient has an under-projected nose. A surgeon can perform rhinoplasty to correct these conditions as well. Some patients seek rhinoplasty to correct a bulbous or misshapen nose tip. Sometimes, this condition alone can affect the overall appearance of someone’s nose. With rhinoplasty, however, a surgeon can reshape the cartilage of the tip of the nose. Finally, a patient may seek rhinoplasty because they have overly large nostrils. With the procedure, however, a surgeon can reduce the size of the nostrils to create a more pleasing appearance. Types of Rhinoplasty There are several types of rhinoplasty procedures. During a closed rhinoplasty, for example, the surgeon only makes incisions inside of the nostril. This procedure hides scarring. However, the surgeon has limited access to the nasal structure using this method. During an open rhinoplasty, the surgeon also makes incisions inside the nostrils. However, the doctor will also make small incisions across the cartilage. In this way, the surgeon can unveil the nose. An open rhinoplasty gives the surgeon full access to the nasal structure, enabling them to produce an optimal outcome. Surgeons often perform reduction rhinoplasty. This procedure involves adjusting the nose to make it smaller or shorter. It may also include reducing the hump of a bridge. A filler rhinoplasty is a non-surgical procedure. Using this method, the surgeon will inject a filler ingredient to change the structure of the nose temporarily. Finally, revision rhinoplasty is a second nasal surgery. A surgeon might perform a revision rhinoplasty to correct aesthetic or functional issues. It’s a secondary rhinoplasty that corrects problems that arise from an initial procedure. Revision rhinoplasty is another common procedure. This surgery can produce a dramatic transformation. However, revision rhinoplasty is also challenging. Your nose is a central facial feature. However, it’s also highly complex. Also, the structure of your nose can affect your breathing function. Prepping for the Procedure Before a surgeon makes the first incision, you’ll need to go to a consultation. During the consultation, the surgeon will decide whether you’re a good candidate for rhinoplasty surgery. The consultation is an opportunity for you to discuss your reasons for wanting the procedure. It’s also helpful to share what you want to achieve with the rhinoplasty. Next, the surgeon will conduct a physical exam of your nose. They’ll compare what they see to what they learned during the initial consultation. The physician will also take various pictures of your nose. These images will help the doctor to make their assessment. It will also help them to evaluate the outcome of your surgery. The surgeon may even use the pictures for reference before and during the procedure. With the right surgeon, however, the results will prove nothing less than extraordinary.

You know better than anyone that being a mom is hard work. And it takes a serious toll on your body. So it's normal to want to approve your appearance and get your body back to the way it used to be. You deserve to feel happy and confident in your body. And you can! With a mommy makeover! So if you've been thinking about enhancing your features and tightening up your body, keep reading for 5 facts you should know about mommy makeovers. What is a Mommy Makeover? Before we get into the details, let's briefly talk about what a mommy makeover includes. Mommy makeover surgery is plastic surgery usually performed on the breasts, abdomen, waist, genitalia or buttocks. These are the areas of the body most dramatically affected by pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding. The goal of a mommy makeover is to rejuvenate and enhance your body. Some of the mommy makeover procedures include: Breast augmentation/lift (mastopexy) Buttock augmentation Liposuction Tummy tuck Vaginal rejuvenation Modern plastic surgery can produce dramatic results using top-of-the-line technology. It looks more natural and is less invasive than is used to be. The ideal candidate for a mommy makeover is a woman in good medical health who is close to their ideal weight and does not plan to become pregnant again. 1. You Can Customize Your Makeover Mommy makeovers are unique because women often choose to do the procedures together all at once. However, many plastic surgery offices offer a customized package for a mother makeover. This allows you to choose which areas of your body and which procedures you want. The typical mommy makeover includes a tummy tuck and a breast lift or breast reduction. However, you can also choose to have other procedures like liposuction, arm lift, or thigh lift depending on what you want. When you meet with a specialist you can ask about the right procedures for you. You can talk openly with them about the areas of your body that you don't feel confident about and are hoping to change. 2. The Procedure It's normal to be nervous about undergoing surgery. But because of the advances in technology and plastic surgery, the mommy makeover procedures are generally very safe. Procedures like the tummy tuck and breast lift can be done under local anesthesia or in an oral form of sedation. Generally, each of your chosen mommy makeover procedures will happen at the same time. After the surgery, you will likely have bandages around the area. The doctor may recommend a compression item to reduce swelling.   The recovery can take several weeks depending on the procedures you choose. Talk to the plastic surgeon about your recovery process and consider asking questions like the ones below: Should I take any medication or use a topical product to promote healing and avoid infection? Are there certain activities I should avoid for the next few weeks? When is my follow-up appointment? How soon can I shower or bathe after surgery? Who should I call if I have concerns about the recovery process? A good plastic surgeon will review all this information and more following your surgery. Don't be afraid to ask questions or have them write down instructions for you. 3. Mommy Makeovers and Your Sex Life The truth is that a mommy makeover can't promise to change your sex life. However, if you have been feeling self-conscious or embarrassed about a certain area of your body and it has prevented you from being intimate with a partner, the surgery may help. If you are concerned about feeling comfortable with sexual activity you may consider a vaginal rejuvenation procedure. You can look into Votiva treatment for an effective, non-surgical solution. Votiva treatment uses collagen to promote firmness and health of the vagina. 4. There Are Non-Surgical Options Too If the idea of surgery makes you uneasy or uncomfortable, there are non-surgical options to restore your body as well. For example, you can use CoolSculpting to shape your arms, legs, abdominals, and other areas without any surgery at all! If you are interested in your non-surgical options you should also check out the MediEssence™ system which is an effective treatment that helps you shed stubborn areas of fat on your body. Medical professionals may also suggest a diet and exercise regimen to help you get your body and weight to a place you are comfortable with. So if surgery and treatments don't sound appealing to you, check out post-pregnancy diet and exercise plans. You should talk to your doctor before starting any new diet or exercise regimen to make sure it is safe for you. 5. It's Not Just for Moms Even though it's advertised as a mommy makeover, these procedures can work for all women. If your weight has fluctuated or your body has gone through other significant changes, plastic surgery can help. Everyone deserves to feel happy and confident in their own skin. So whether you're a mother or not, these procedures can help you feel better about your physical appearance. Talk to a plastic surgeon about the procedures you're interested in and whether they would recommend them for you. You can reference the mommy makeover procedure or use terms like tummy tuck, breast lift, or liposuction if you want to be more specific. Treat Yourself - It's Mommy Makeover Time Now that you know a little more about the procedures that make up a mommy makeover, you can start planning the best makeover option for you. The process usually starts with a consultation where you can ask questions and make a plan for your makeover procedure.   Taking care of yourself with a healthy diet and exercise regimen is highly recommended before and after the makeover procedure. This will produce the best possible results. If you have any concerns about your mommy makeover talk to a doctor or other medical professional. It's time to get back to looking and feeling like yourself - you deserve it! To schedule a consultation...

### Benefits of Plastic Surgery During the Lockdown

> Getting plastic surgery during the covid-19 lockdown might not be the first thing on everyone's mind, but it's actually a great idea. Here's why.

For the last 5 years in the United States, plastic surgery has been on the rise. With the onset of Covid-19, the pandemic that has uprooted all of our lives, we see even more of a plastic surgery boom. Even though plastic surgery is becoming increasingly common, some patients still feel pressure to hide their procedures. They'd rather keep their surgeries secret than face stigmas and shame associated with taking the "easy way out. " Sometimes it can take weeks to heal from surgery. This makes it difficult for those with busy lives who want to stay out of the limelight while healing. The pandemic, however, has made it much easier to take the necessary time to heal from home. If you've been considering a procedure, the lockdown is a perfect time to do it. Keep reading to learn why plastic surgery during Covid-19 might be a great idea for you! Why Do We See More Plastic Surgery During Covid-19? The pandemic has changed, uprooted, and destroyed lives. It's been a stressful and uncertain time for many people and their families. It's also been a time of self-reflection and positivity for many. Many people have taken the time to self-improve and work on themselves, physically, mentally, and spiritually. While some have caught up reading or spending more time with family, others have taken the time to get procedures they've always dreamed of. There's been a significant increase in surgeries across the United States because the lockdown offers time for patients to heal in peace and confidence. Lots of patients, both new and returning, are booking their surgeries in advance. Benefits of Plastic Surgery in the Pandemic Pandemic plastic surgery is becoming increasingly popular for several reasons. Let's take a look at the most prominent benefits of getting surgery during the lockdown. There's Plenty of Time to Recover Having time to stay home and recover in private is an integral component of the plastic surgery process. Patients would prefer to stay at home for more invasive procedures during recovery as it's more practical and peaceful. Due to Covid-19, many communities all over the world are on lockdown. Thus, it's not strange for individuals and families to stay home for extended periods. Nothing is odd about saying no to dinner parties, get-togethers, or opting to do virtual learning with your kids. Now is the perfect time to avoid running into people and going to events while you're in the recovery period. Plus, if you do have to go out, wearing a mask could also help cover up your surgery while you heal.   Of course, this depends on the type of procedure you have. Masks Can Hide the Healing Process Plastic surgery on the face can be more invasive and more difficult to cover up than other surgeries. Thus, masks are the perfect solution for those who have had a facelift or rhinoplasty. If you've had a facial procedure and do have to go out, opting to wear proper face coverage can help alleviate the chance of people recognizing your recent procedure. It's Easier to Take Time off Work Patients put off or avoid getting the surgeries they've always wanted because they don't want to take so much time off from work. However, depending on the occupation, many people are now working from home. Some surgeries require weeks of healing time, and for patients to stay pretty inactive. Right now, being able to stay home for an extended time is much easier. As long as you can still do your job and do it from home, you shouldn't have to take time off or alert anyone at your job that you're having a procedure done.   We're Coming Into Winter Another great reason to get your plastic surgery done now is that we're coming into winter weather. Depending on where you live, winter clothes combined with the pandemic deem it a perfect time for plastic surgery. Bulky clothes can help to conceal swelling and bruising. Plus, if you're required to wear compression garments after your procedure, clothes make it easier to hide those too. Patients with facial surgeries can use scarves, hats, and shawls to help cover up too. You Can Do Your Consultation Online Another amazing benefit of getting your plastic surgery done now is the ability to conduct your consultation online with your doctor. This route is optimal for many, as many patients are apprehensive and nervous about that first visit. Plus, if you want to work with a surgeon who isn't convenient, location-wise, conducting an online consultation first is a great way to find out if you'll be a good fit. Offices Are Safe and Clean The pandemic has taught everyone how important it is to keep medical spaces clean and safe for patients. While plastic surgery offices have always been known for their clean nature, safe pandemic practices make for an even better space. Plastic surgery offices are going above and beyond to keep every surface sanitized and safe for patients. Masks are worn, doctors and patients are social distancing as necessary, and Covid-19 concerns are readily addressed. Take Advantage of This Time to Get the Plastic Surgery You've Always Dreamed Of Plenty of people have plastic surgery procedures they've always dreamed of getting. However, it can be extremely difficult to take time off work and have ample time to heal in privacy. Due to lockdowns, there are fewer social gatherings, and many people and families are staying home. Because so many individuals would rather keep their procedures private, now is the best time to get plastic surgery done and heal at home. Depending on your job, you might not even have to take time off of work. Are you ready for a consultation with our globally renowned plastic surgery experts?

Your Collagen is Decreasing You're probably aware of how important collagen is... Collagen makes up about 80% of the volume of the skin. Studies have shown that collagen begins to decrease at a rate of about 1% per year after the age of 25. Time Goes By As time goes by the loss of collagen isn't the only thing the body is experiencing... The skin starts to lose its elasticity too. This is typically seen in the face, but it is common to experience it throughout the body too. While these changes are often subtle, it is enough to look in the mirror and see those signs of aging creeping up. Not to worry, solutions like Sculptra can help! How Does Sculptra Work? One of the secrets to why Sculptra works so well is the use of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This ingredient stimulates collagen and helps with those volume-boosting transformations. Compared to many of the other injectable treatments that are hyaluronic acid-based, Sculptra delivers impressive results that last significantly longer too. Because Sculptra is a non-surgical, injection-based treatment you don't have to worry about the downsides that typically come with surgery like downtime, stitches, and scars. Where Sculptra Works Often referred to as the "liquid lift" Sculptra is perfect for restoring volume in the face and even adding volume to the buttocks. Patients have successfully used Sculptra to treat the signs of aging in the face. This is achieved by restoring lost volume, smoothing out deep wrinkles and folds, and even addressing skin laxity. While it is a bit of a secret, many patients are using Sculptra to lift the buttocks. If you are looking for an alternative to surgical treatments like a Brazilian Butt Lift, Sculptra is a great choice. Why Patients Love Sculptra There is a reason Sculptra is a popular treatment and here are a few reasons why you'll love it: Stimulates collagen production Treating laxity and deep lines and folds in the face Providing lift to the buttocks Long-lasting results (2-3 years) that continue to get better over time Get Sculptra Do you want to restore your confidence, add more volume and look great again? Sculptra could be the perfect treatment for you. Schedule your consultation today by calling (888) 674-3001.

Pleasant memories, funny movies, a shared moment with a loved one... These are just a few of the things that make us smile and laugh. Laughing and smiling are part of what makes our life fun and exciting, but these expressions leave their marks on us. In fact, one of the predominant signs of aging on the faces is the lines that come from laughing and smiling! What You Can Do Stop frowning, there is something you can do! In fact, people just like you have been utilizing some of the amazing results that come from dermal fillers. At WAVE, we offer many different filler treatments, and some of the most popular choices for the smile and laugh lines are Restylane's Refyne and Defyne. Refyne and Defyne While both Refyne and Defyne work in the same way, there is a difference between the two fillers. Simply put, Refyne is ideal for lighter lines and wrinkles whereas Defyne is better suited for heavy lines and wrinkles. What you should know about Refyne and Defyne: As a gel-based filler, the patients maintain a very natural look Results are impressive and long-lasting (12 months or more) Patients love their results (a recent clinical study showed that 97% of patients would get Refyne or Defyne again) Getting Treatment Treatment with Refyne and Defyne is safe and easy. You'll get a consultation from our expert staff so you can ask questions, find out if this treatment is right for you, and see what other treatment options are available to you. Primarily used to treat the smile and laugh lines, Refyne and Defyne are used around the mouth in the nasal labial folds. This is the fold of skin that starts at the base of the nose and extends down toward the edge of the mouth. Refyne and Defyne consist of a simple injection which means there isn't any downtime and the whole treatment is virtually painless. In fact, many patients even get this treatment on their lunch break and then go back to work afterward. Check out this video of an actual WAVE patient experience Restylane Defyne! How It Works Both Refyne and Defyne are gel-based fillers that also contain hyaluronic acid (also known as HA). HA is naturally found in the skin and it is what helps plump and smooth the skin. The gel and the HA combined provide natural-looking results that allow the skin to maintain its flexibility. This means the folds in the skin can be smoothed out to help patients look younger. Impressive Results The results from Refyne and Defyne last a very long time. In fact, it is quite common for patients to see impressive results that will stay for 12 months or longer. With an easy and safe treatment, and long-lasting results it is easy to see why in an independent survey, 97% of patients were satisfied with their treatment results.

### Have you heard about #NewTox?

Do you have frown lines? Have you noticed them in the mirror recently? Showing up like the "number 11" between your eyes... It isn't anything to be ashamed of or even worried about. In fact, people just like you have been receiving treatment for frown lines, and there is a new solution that a lot of people are talking about... It is called #NewTox (also known as Jeuveau by Evolus) and we are proud to offer this treatment at WAVE Plastic Surgery. Neuromodulators You've probably heard of neuromodulators before... They have popular names like Botox, Dysport, XEOMIN, and most recently Jeuveau. While the makeup of each of these treatments is a little bit different, they all work in a very similar way. How it Works Neuromodulators use a purified form of botulinum toxin to essentially relax the muscle. Jeuveau is administered via syringe as a simple injection. This means the entire treatment is virtually painless and quite fast. In fact, some patients get treatment on their lunch breaks and then go back to work. Treating the Signs of Aging in the Face The signs of aging you may be seeing between your eyes and on other parts of your face are caused by movement. The expressions we all make cause movement in the face and in the areas that move a lot (like the brows or near the mouth) often show some of the biggest signs of aging. When you relax the muscle with a neuromodulator like #NewTox it helps you look younger and has the potential for something else... Preventative Care While many patients wait to use neuromodulators like Jeuveau until the signs of aging are quite visible, they don't have to wait that long. In fact, because neuromodulators keep the muscle from moving, Jeuveau can be a preventative treatment for aging. That's right, using Jeuveau now can keep the signs of aging from getting worse in the future! This means that patients in their 20's and 30's are taking advantage of Jeuveau now to make sure they continue to look great going forward. Why #NewTox Even though there are a number of choices for neuromodulators available at WAVE, Jeuveau is an exciting new choice that is an effective alternative to Botox. Jeuveau is FDA cleared for cosmetic use for the frown lines, and they have some of the highest production standards in the industry. Results can last upwards of 6 months, and most patients say that they see their results faster than Botox. Get Jeuveau at WAVE As neuromodulators continue to grow in popularity, more and more places are offering them. While it is easy to simply look around for the lowest price, don't forget that there are other important factors to consider too. You should always get a consultation before getting neuromodulators. Consultations ensure that you get any questions you have answered, help you understand what kind of results come with treatment, and learn about the different treatment options available to you. WAVE has a complete expert team that will ensure that you are taken care of from start to finish. For nearly 20 years, we've made patient safety and care our highest priority, and we love our patients! Want to learn more about Jeuveau? Schedule your consultation today by calling (888) 674-3001.

### Fracturing Pigment With PiQo4

PiQo4 is one of the latest technologically advanced treatments for pigmentation and tattoo removal. This is just one of the amazing procedures offered at WAVE, and we've seen our patients get amazing results from PiQo4. How PiQo4 Works Simply put, PiQo4 shatters pigment, resurfaces the skin, and even improves skin tone, texture, and laxity. While it is a laser, the energy that is being transferred is acoustic-based allowing precise and targeted treatment. PiQo4 takes an innovative approach to treating pigment by using the power of long and short pulses. The best way to describe this is to think about pigment as large rocks. PiQo4 first breaks down the rocks into pebbles (with long pulses) and then further breaks down the pebbles into sand (with short pulses). PiQo4 is essentially shattering the pigment, delivering amazing results, and helping restore patients' confidence again. One of the reasons PiQo4 is so effective is the use of four different wavelengths. This allows the treatment to be effective on a wide range of pigments and tattoo colors. Unlike other laser-based treatments, PiQo4 can be used on all skin types. Where PiQo4 Can Help You PiQo4 is used to treat skin throughout the face and body. Patients see some of the best results when they receive treatment for the following: Pigmentation and lesions Melasma Tattoo removal Skin irregularities Skin rejuvenation And more! Check out this patient getting a PiQo4 treatment! Getting PiQo4 Treatment For patients that are interested in getting PiQo4 treatment, we always recommend that you get a consultation first. WAVE offers a wide variety of both surgical and non-surgical treatments and we want to make sure you get the treatment this right for you. If PiQo4 is the right option, we'll have you schedule an appointment to get expert care from our staff. We'll make sure you are comfortable and start by cleaning your skin and then applying some ice to get the skin prepared for treatment. After that, it is 3-4 passes with the PiQo4 to help patients get optimal results. Getting the Best Results While each person is a little bit different, most patients typically see the best results after 3-6 treatments. Furthermore, patients experience the best results when they take care of their skin before and after treatment. We recommend that patients use medical-grade skincare prior to treatment that contains hydroquinone, retinol, or Retin-A. This treatment should stop 48-72 hours before the treatment which will ensure that the skin can recover properly. After treatment, patients should use sunblock to protect their skin and their results. Why WAVE? For nearly two decades, WAVE has helped patients awaken their inner beauty. Our expert team is here to help, answer any questions you might have, and help you get the treatment you've been looking for. Want to see if PiQo4 is right for you?

### What You Should Know About Liposuction

> Learn what you should know about Liposuction. Shape your body with confidence. ✓ Explore the insights and book your consultation for a new you!

We hear it all the time from patients... They've put in the hours at the gym, eaten right, and tried all the other tricks, but there is fat that just won't go away. As you may be aware, this fat gets even more stubborn as we age. While it may feel hopeless, it isn't. In fact, WAVE's patients have experienced tremendous success with liposuction. What is liposuction? Simply put, liposuction is the removal of fat via suction. This is accomplished after the patient is sedated and then a small incision is made in the treatment area(s). A cannula (think of it as a thin, hollow tube) is attached to a vacuum and then inserted into the incision area to remove the fat. While this process sounds quite simple, there is an art in helping patients achieve their desired results with liposuction. WAVE's expert team of board-certified plastic surgeons is able to use liposuction to sculpt and shape the body to help patients look their best. Where can liposuction be performed? Liposuction can treat fat throughout the body. Some of the most popular places to get liposuction are: Face Love handles/hips Abdomen and stomach Thighs Buttocks Who is a good candidate for liposuction? Patients who are struggling with those stubborn fat pockets typically see the best results with liposuction. Remember that liposuction isn't a weight loss solution, and patients that want to maintain their results should eat healthily and exercise. Lastly, patients that have a lot of laxity in their skin may want to consider an additional procedure to ensure that the skin is tight after the fat has been removed with liposuction. Can liposuction be combined with other procedures? Some patients just choose to get liposuction to treat a few small areas, but it can actually be combined with a number of other procedures too. Radiofrequency Tightening One of the best procedures to be combined with liposuction is skin tightening. This tightening is achieved through radio frequency and can be used throughout the body. AccuTite, FaceTite, and BodyTite (the names differ depending on where treatment is being received) really take the results of liposuction to the next level. Fat is removed, the skin is tightened, and patients look great! Fat Transfer One of the most unique ways to use liposuction is through a "fat transfer". This involves taking the fat that was liposuctioned from the body (typically the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks), purifying it, and then placing it in a different part of the body. Some patients do this for breast augmentation to get incredibly natural-looking results, and it can even be used on its own or with implants. Fat transfer can also be used in the face! Some patients use this to treat hollow-looking eyes and sunken cheeks as well as other areas, including the nasal labial folds. Overall, the fat transfer to the face helps combat the signs of aging while maintaining very natural-looking results. Mommy Makeovers and Brazilian Butt Lifts Lastly, liposuction can be part of more complete body treatments like a Brazilian Butt Lift or a Mommy Makeover. This is because of the way liposuction helps sculpt the body and gives patients stunning results. Post-Surgery Most patients notice some bruising and swelling after their liposuction, which is quite common, and wearing a compression garment can help. Depending on the number of areas that received liposuction, it is recommended that patients take at least a few days off work for recovery. While everyone is a little bit different, some patients can see results right away, especially in areas that have been sculpted. Since swelling is normal, results will continue to get better as the swelling goes down, which could range anywhere from 6-12 months, depending on the number of areas that received treatment. Want to learn more? Liposuction is a wonderful procedure and it can be combined with several other treatments depending on what patients are looking to achieve. We've been helping patients just like you for nearly 20 years here at WAVE. Schedule your consultation today to see if liposuction is right for you. Call us at (888) 674-3001.

### Get your fill with Allergan

There is a unique way to add volume to the face, fight the signs of aging, and even smooth out wrinkles and folds. Dermal fillers are a wonderful solution that can help you preserve your youthful appearance, get a specific look, and even make you feel more confident. Allergan Fillers Some of the most popular fillers at WAVE are created by Allergan. These fillers are more commonly known as being part of the Juvéderm family which includes Vollure, Volbella, Voluma, and Juvéderm XC. Juvéderm dermal fillers are gel-based and can be used throughout the face. While each of the Juvéderm fillers is a little bit different, they can be used in conjunction with each other to maximize results. These Juvéderm fillers contain hyaluronic acid (also referred to as HA) which is something that is already naturally found in the skin. The HA helps ensure the skin looks young, healthy, and plump. Vollure Vollure is primarily used to treat the nasolabial folds. The nasolabial folds are essentially the folds that start at the base of the nose and go all the way down to the corners of the mouth. Sometimes the nasolabial folds can also be referred to as smile lines or laugh lines. Vollure treats these folds by smoothing out this area and adding volume to reduce the appearance of aging. Patients like Vollure because of the good results they see and these results last a long time (often 18+ months). Voluma Voluma is perfect for the mid-face and cheeks. For patients who are looking to add volume, reshape, or even sculpt their face, Voluma is the right choice. This is why it is so important to work with an expert. Voluma can really transform a patient's face, and working with a skilled professional with experience ensures you get the results you are looking for. While everyone is a little different the results from Voluma are also long-lasting. Depending on the area(s) of treatment patients receive Voluma, the results can last 12 - 24+ months. Vobella Those little lines around the mouth... They are vertical and can make people look a lot older than they actually are. These lines are sometimes called smokers lines or lipstick lines, but they can be effectively treated with Volbella. Volbella really shines in treating these areas around the mouth, but it can also be used for the lips too! Volbella can help lips appear fuller, more youthful, and more aesthetically pleasing. Vobella typically lasts 12+ months. Juvéderm XC What about deep lines and wrinkles? There is a solution for that too with Juvéderm XC. Created to treat those heavy signs of aging around the nose and mouth, Juvéderm XC is highly effective in adding volume and helping patients look younger. Juvéderm XC typically lasts about 12+ months depending on where the patient received treatment. What you should know before getting fillers Because fillers are becoming more common, it is important that you find skilled injectors at a reputable plastic surgeon's office. WAVE has been leading the way for nearly 20 years providing patients just like you with the highest levels of care and a wide range of services that include surgical and non-surgical procedures. When it comes to fillers, WAVE has a team of experts that have the knowledge and experience to give you the look you desire.

You've dieted, worked out, and even found a love for kale, but the stubborn fat is still lingering... It might feel hopeless, but it doesn't have to be. What if there was a way that you could simply freeze the fat away? CoolSculpting Yes, you can say goodbye to those stubborn pockets of fat with CoolSculpting. This is a non-surgical procedure which means there is no downtime, needles, or scars and you can use the power of cold to get rid of the fat forever. Patients love the results they see from CoolSculpting and the confidence they get from finally being able to get rid of fat! Where it Works CoolSculpting can be used throughout the body, and some of the most popular areas of treatment include: Under the Chin Upper Arms Bra and Back Fat Abdomen Muffin Top / Love Handles Thighs Banana Rolls (area under the buttocks) How it Works As an FDA-cleared treatment, CoolSculpting freezes fat cells but not the skin. Once these fat cells are frozen, they are gone forever. The CoolSculpting procedure is fairly straightforward, and most patients find that it is even quite relaxing. First, one of WAVE's expert staff will apply a gel pad on the area(s) you'll be receiving treatment. This gel works as a barrier between the CoolSculpting cooling panel and the skin. Next, the applicator is applied to the skin, and most patients feel a slight tugging or mild pinching sensation. The CoolSculpting machine goes to work freezing away the fat cells and you can sit back and relax. Lastly WAVE's expert staff will provide a brief massage on the area that was treated to further break up the fat cells. Over the next few weeks after treatment, your body will naturally process and eliminate the dead fat cells. The best results are achieved after a few treatments which can vary depending on where in the body CoolSculpting is being applied. Treatment time is about 30-60 minutes per area. The results from CoolSculpting generally appear gradually and get better over time. What You Should Know CoolSculpting is a highly effective treatment for t that stubborn fat that doesn't seem to go away with diet and exercise. Patients love the ability to use CoolSculpting to really shape their bodies and give them the look they've desired. That said, CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution or even a treatment for large amounts of fat. However, for those patients who are looking to get rid of pockets of excess fat, CoolSculpting is a great option. Why WAVE WAVE's focus has always been putting the care and safety of our patients first. This has made us one of the most successful plastic surgery centers in the nation and allowed us to continue to grow. When you get CoolSculpting at WAVE you'll be in good hands every step of the way.

### Vaginal Rejuvenation with Votiva

- Categories: Body
- Tags: ben lee

Advances in technology are now able to provide women with proven, non-surgical solutions for vaginal rejuvenation. While there are many different kinds of treatments, one of the most popular procedures is called Votiva. Votiva is a safe and effective treatment used for: Improving feminine health Vaginal tightening Restoring blood flow Urinary incontinence Improving sexual function Why Women Like Votiva One of the most common reasons for women to seek out treatment like Votiva is because of urinary incontinence. Women experience urinary incontinence after childbirth, from intense athletics, or simply as they age. Votiva is a proven solution for urinary incontinence but women have also found that it comes with some additional benefits too. Thus, as urinary incontinence is treated so are vaginal laxity and dryness which yields improved sexual intercourse too. How it Works Using the power of bipolar radiofrequency energy, Votiva gently delivers heat deep into the layers of the skin either internally or externally on the vagina. Votiva is used internally to treat vaginal laxity, urinary incontinence, and discomfort during intercourse. Votiva is used externally for labial tightening and resurfacing. The heat delivered via radiofrequency helps boost collagen production and blood flow to the treatment area. This means that results continue to improve over time. What is the treatment like? Treatment typically takes about 30 minutes, and while each woman is a little different, most experience little to no discomfort. Women who get Votiva usually describe feeling a little bit of pressure or warmth. However, if patients are more sensitive WAVE does have options for minimizing discomfort like numbing cream. Votiva is a non-surgical treatment which means there isn't any downtime or scarring. Although it is recommended that patients abstain from intercourse for a few days, they can still go about their lives without any interruption. Patients like the ease and safety of Votiva and find that it is one of the best treatments for vaginal rejuvenation. Most women see the best results after about 3 Votiva treatments. WAVE advises that patients typically wait about 30 days in between treatments. To ensure patients get the most out of Votiva after their initial experience, we recommend that they return yearly if not sooner. Because of the way Votiva works to boost collagen production and blood flow to the treatment areas, results are seen gradually, and they improve over time. Is Votiva right for you? If you are interested in getting Votiva, we recommend that you call (888) 674-3001 and schedule a consultation with one of our experts. They can best assess if Votiva is right for you and answer any questions you may have. About WAVE For nearly two decades WAVE has helped patients just like you awaken their inner beauty. Our expert staff will ensure you have an amazing experience from start to finish. Your care and safety are always our highest priority.

HydraFacial: The Relaxing Skincare Treatment You Deserve Patients love it... They say it is relaxing, soothing, and they can't wait to come back for more. Truthfully, it is one of those things your skin will thank you for. HydraFacial What is this miracle treatment for the face and neck? It is called HydraFacial and it is an unforgettable "facial" experience unlike any other. Best of all you can even customize your HydraFacial treatment to give your skin exactly what it needs. Take care of your skin One of the reasons HydraFacial is growing in popularity is the fact that the sun has left its mark on all of us... Studies show that 90% of skin damage is caused by sun exposure. Even on a cloudy day, you can still experience the damaging effects of UV rays. When you combine the effects of the sun and the changes the skin naturally goes through as it ages, action must be taken. HydraFacial is a wonderful solution that can help restore the skin through a relaxing and innovative procedure. How it Works The key to the effectiveness of HydraFacial is centered around three things: cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating your skin. Starting with the cleanse, HydraFacial uses gentle resurfacing and exfoliation to bring out a new layer of skin. Think of this as a light peel so that your skin can be ready for the next steps. Next comes the extraction. Unlike other facials you may have experienced in the past, HydraFacial makes this process completely painless by using suction. Essentially, this means that blackheads and other impurities will be tenderly removed with the vacuum tool that is also known as a vortex extraction nozzle. Once the skin has been cleansed and exfoliated, it is time to moisturize and nourish the skin. Based on what you are looking to achieve, WAVE's expert aestheticians will provide the exact mixture of serums, antioxidants, and peptides to make sure you look and feel great. Customizing Your Treatment HydraFacial gives you the ability to customize your treatment with boosters. WAVE offers a wide variety of boosters to help you maximize your results! Britenol Boost: Perfect for correcting dark spots to provide a more even-looking complexion. Growth Factor Boost: Ensure your skin is healthy while simultaneously reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Brightalive Boost: Bring back that glow and minimize skin discolorations. DermaBuilder Boost: Through the use of peptides, this boost treats the signs of aging and recharges the skin Rozatrol Booster Serum: Created by ZO Skin Health, this booster is great for anti-redness Is HydraFacial right for you? HydraFacial is really for just about everyone. Men and women have not only enjoyed this treatment but also found that it was quite relaxing too. A typical HydraFacial session lasts 30 minutes to an hour, and our expert estheticians will be by your side every step of the way ensuring you are comfortable and have great results.

Treat Wrinkles and Add Volume with Radiesse In addition to getting the highest quality care and service, WAVE is proud to offer a wide variety of treatments to help patients just like you awaken their inner beauty. One of the treatments we've had a lot of questions about is: Radiesse This gel-based dermal filler is loved by patients for many reasons: Great for treating lines and wrinkles on the face Can be used to add volume to the hands and face It stimulates collagen Long-lasting results (12+ months) Combatting the Signs of Aging in the Face As time passes, you’ll look in the mirror and notice that you don’t quite look like you used to... Everyone is a little bit different, but we all tend to see lines, folds, and wrinkles increase as we age. Furthermore, due to gravity and sometimes the loss of fat in the face, these aging features can be even more pronounced. While aging leaves its mark on everyone, it doesn't have to be permanent... Radiesse is highly effective for treating aging in the following areas: Oral commissures Sagging brows Hollowness in the temples Smile and marionette lines Sculpting the Face Yes, it's true, Radiesse can do all of that and more! WAVE’s expert staff has also achieved amazing results as a way to sculpt the face. This means patients experience surgery-like results with Radiesse without the downtime or scarring typically associated with surgical procedures. Check out this video that shows one of our patients getting a "non-surgical" nose job with Radiesse. Radiesse can be used to sculpt the face in the following areas: Nose Chin Cheeks Jawline Remember your hands! It gets better though, Radiesse can also be used in the hands! Check out this explanation of how it works from our expert nurse Jennifer V. : It is easy to just focus on the face and neck... Most people will spend time and money to combat the signs of aging by getting surgery, non-surgical procedures (like injections), and even using high-quality skincare on their face and neck but often overlook their hands. This means your face and neck look great, but the hands still have that hollow and sunken look that comes from aging. Complete your rejuvenated new look by taking care of your hands. Radiesse can be injected into the hands to restore volume and help your hands look young again. Who is an ideal candidate for Radiesse? So who should get Radiesse? We've found that some of the best results are achieved when patients don't have deep wrinkles and folds or skin that is very saggy. That said, light to mild lines and wrinkles look great and results are seen almost instantly! That means you don't have to wait until the heavy signs of aging have shown up before you get treated with Radiesse. As mentioned above, Radiesse is great for patients who are looking to sculpt their faces. Changing the shape of the nose, chin, cheeks, or jawline with Radiesse can dramatically enhance the beauty in the face, and it has never been easier. How does it work? Radiesse is a gel-based dermal filler that is injected into the skin. WAVE's expert team knows how and where to inject Radiesse to give you the best results! Radiesse contains microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite which act as a sort of scaffolding under the skin. It also helps stimulate collagen production and patients love the way Radiesse makes them look. Treatment with Radiesse is fast, safe, and easy. Many patients even get this treatment on their lunch break! Learn More Ready to learn more about how you can be treated with Radiesse? Call us today at (888) 674-3001 to schedule your consultation.

At WAVE, we strive to use the latest technological advances combined with the highest standards of patient care and satisfaction. We’ve recently added 3 innovative new procedures called AccuTite, FaceTite, and BodyTite which are designed to treat laxity in the skin. Using radiofrequency energy, this proven technology is able to offer many of the same benefits of surgery without the downtime or scars. Check out this video to see how it works: AccuTite, FaceTite, and BodyTite have been designed with accuracy in mind. This means that areas that have typically been tough to reach in the past can now easily be treated. The procedure is safe and easy, and it is accomplished by inserting a cannula (small probe) into the skin. An external secondary electrode sits above the skin and the radiofrequency energy flows between them. These treatments use radiofrequency energy to melt the fat, tighten the skin, and increase collagen production. On the body, radiofrequency tightening can be used to treat the following: Bra fat Upper Arms Hands Abdomen Thighs Knees On the face, some of the most popular places to use radiofrequency tightening are: Brows Nasolabial folds The periorbital areas (around the eyes) Lower face and neck Patients love the results they get from AccuTite, FaceTite, and BodyTite and this procedure is fast! It typically takes about an hour or less depending on where you’ll be getting the treatment. Our expert staff will be with you every step of the way ensuring you are comfortable and taken care of. Ready to learn more and see if you are a candidate for this innovative, skin-tightening procedure? Call us today at (888) 674-3001 to schedule your consultation.

WAVE Plastic Surgery, the largest Plastic Surgery Practice in the US specializing in Asian and Endoscopic Plastic Surgery is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Ben Lee, MD, FACS.

I found WAVE Plastic Surgery to be exactly that... amazing. The surgeons, clinical staff, and administrative support team are remarkable.

I look forward to bringing my skills and experience to the Los Angeles community. ” Dr. Ben Lee is best known for Breast Augmentations, Rhinoplastys, and his innovative procedure named ‘Curelift,’ a combination of both a facelift and necklift, perfect for individuals in their mid 40’s to late 50’s looking to achieve a more youthful look. The difference between a traditional facelift and Dr. Lee’s ‘Curelift’ is that he repositions the facial muscle back to where it belongs. If the patient chooses, Dr. Lee can perform surgery using local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia which leads to less bleeding, swelling and overall downtime after the procedure. Dr. Lee uses techniques that minimize the downtime and recovery process which takes only about 7 to 10 days.

SKIN IS MORE THAN SURFACE AJ Gibson came into Wave Plastic Surgery last month to address several issues with his face. During his consultation at Wave, AJ appeared to have amazing-looking skin on camera and in person. Despite this, we wanted to look deeper and tackle more of what's underneath to prevent further damage from occurring. Being a host on several tv shows means that AJ is constantly sitting and/or standing hours upon hours in makeup while being exposed to high-intensity lighting. That's why, aside from treating a few small visible sunspots that he initially came in for, Wave wanted to test AJ's skin first using our Visia machine. The Visia machine thoroughly scanned his face and gave our consultants an overview of what was hiding underneath. After carefully examining the results of the Visia machine, we determined that Lumecca was a suitable treatment for his concerns along with a set of specific skincare products that would give him the best results. AJ has two more sessions at Wave. AJ came to us wanting to treat his Sunspots. He did the following: Tested his skin on Wave's Visia machine and received a facial assessment report. Completed 1 of 3 Lumecca skin treatments using Inmode machine. Took home a Zein Obagi skincare set specific to his skin needs based on our Wave Consultant's recommendation. AJ Gibson spent 2 years as host of Hollywood Today Live on FOX and has filled in as co-host on Access Hollywood. He appears regularly on Good Day LA, CBS's The Talk, and the Inside Scoop on The Wendy Williams Show. AJ was also a contestant on ABC's "Expedition Impossible" in 2011 and has been singled out on TV Guide Magazines "What To Watch. " Follow and check him out on Instagram!

### Wave Answers Your Top 10 Ultherapy Questions

> WAVE Plastic Surgery is honored to receive the FAB 5 award from Ultherapy so we gather the answers to the top 10 ultherapy questions. ✓ Read now!

Here at Wave Plastic Surgery, we do an enormous amount of Ultherapy treatments per day! We got together with the Ultherapy company themselves to gather some answers to common questions we get asked every day in Los Angeles! 1. WHAT IS ULTHERAPY? Ultherapy is the ONLY non-invasive procedure FDA cleared to lift skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the eyebrow. It is now also FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. 2. HOW DOES ULTHERAPY WORK? Ultherapy’s secret is ultrasound energy. This non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate your body’s own natural healing process. Without harming the surface of your skin, the deeper structural layers of your skin are restored, resulting in a lifting and tightening effect for your face and neck. Your Ultherapy treatment with Wave Plastic Surgery will take only about an hour to complete. 3. WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE? Anyone with skin that has increased laxity (looking and feeling less firm). Anyone with lowered eyebrow line(s), sagging skin on eyelid, jowls, or neck. Anyone with lines or wrinkles on the chest (often referred to as the first sign of “maturing” skin). 4. DOES IT HURT? Pain levels during the treatment can vary from patient to patient. However, Wave Plastic Surgery can use different types of anesthesia techniques ranging from EMLA Topical to anesthetic injections to help patients avoid discomfort. 5. WHEN WILL I SEE THE RESULTS AND HOW LONG DOES IT LAST? The results are visible right after the patient receives the treatment, but it takes 2-3 months for the final results to begin showing since it takes some time for the body to regenerate new, more elastic collagen. Results may continue to build for up to 12 months. This will last 1-3 years depending on each patient. 6. ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS? Patients might experience some redness around treated areas following the treatment but will disappear in a matter of hours. Mild swelling, tingling, or tenderness to touch is also a common side effect, but these are also temporary in nature. 7. WHO IS QUALIFIED TO OPERATE THE ULTHERA MACHINE? Ulthera is a medical device for aesthetic medical procedures— therefore, it has to be operated by professional medical staff members such as nurses, physician assistants, or doctors. Furthermore, ALL Ultherapy practitioners must receive extensive training to administer the treatment. DO NOT receive Ultherapy from someone who does not meet these essential requirements! 8. HOW DO I IDENTIFY A FAKE ULTHERAPY MACHINE? For patient safety and real results, it is absolutely important to receive treatments from an AUTHENTIC Ulthera machine. An authentic Ulthera machine uses real-time visualization to determine if the appropriate areas are being treated. When the practitioner operates on your skin during the treatment, the ultrasound image on the screen will move as the Transducer moves. Counterfeit products have a static image or an ultrasound video loop. Also, it has been seven years since Ultherapy was first introduced to the market. There are still many outdated/expired Ulthera machines out there. Some practices purchase old, second-hand machines or use refurbished transducers on their patients to lower the price. This is not only prohibited by Ulthera Company but more importantly, it could result in patient safety concerns such as nerve damage. It is critical not to be fooled by an unusually low price. Make sure you choose the legitimate practitioner for your own safety. 9. HOW DO I KNOW THE PRACTITIONER IS QUALIFIED AND AREN'T USING A COUNTERFEIT MACHINE? The easiest and best way to find the right place for your Ultherapy treatment is to use the Global Physician Locator on the official Ultherapy website. All the certified providers of the authentic Ultherapy Treatment are listed on it and you can be confident in knowing these practitioners receive technical training / continued support from Ulthera company. Wave Plastic Surgery is Ultra Premier Plus Provider of Ultherapy, the highest level Ulthera company can award to a provider. 10. WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE WAVE PLASTIC SURGERY FOR ULTHERAPY? Simple. Not only is Wave an Ultra Premier Plus Provider for Ultherapy, but we are also the Top 5 Ultherapy Provider in the NATION.  WAVE Plastic Surgery is also honored to receive the FAB 5 award from Ultherapy, the highest award given to the Top 5 Ultherapy providers in the nation.

### Transform Yourself Inside & Out At Wave

Beauty Defined By You. At every turn, whether it's at the mall, movies, or on television, we're constantly being told what beauty is supposed to be and what it should look like. Here at WAVE, we value your ideas above anything else. After all, the only definition of beauty that matters is your own— and what matters to us, is you. No, that is not a gimmick statement. We actually stand by it. Sure, any of our Board Certified Plastic Surgeons can easily tell you what you can improve about your physical appearance, but what would it all mean if it wasn't something you truly wanted? #1 Wave Myth Vs. Fact The biggest misconception about WAVE is that we force procedures and treatments upon our patients. On the contrary, during our consultations, we love to hear from YOU. We want to know what you think is beautiful. We want to know what your goals are. We want to know what would make YOU feel confident inside. After diving into what your concerns are, we then give you all the options available for you to choose from and customize a program just for you. They're Big Decisions. Do It For You. Yes, we perform non-surgical treatments. Yes, we perform plastic surgery. And yes, we see how that subject is still taboo for a lot of people, but as the old saying goes: what you think about yourself is much more important than what others think of you. So, if you're going to try a new skin treatment, or an injectable to smoothen out some of those lines, or a particular surgery to correct something you've always wanted to be done, or maybe you just want to feel more energetic and healthy again— do it on your own terms and for no one else but yourself. You get to live in your body for the rest of your life, not them. Some of Our Real Wave Stories Farrah lost a considerable amount of weight on our MediEssence Diet Program and had minor surgeries done to her face. Kim just wanted to look and feel like her old self again. Noh wanted to see how her nose would look with a stronger bridge & defined tip without surgery.

It seems that time is the only thing against us when it comes to our physical appearance – but what’s more alarming is that our health and well-being start to deteriorate as well. Fortunately, there are measures we can all take to keep our energy levels up and replenish what we are lacking in our bodies. Nothing can reverse the natural process of aging, but we can all make sure we live the rest of our lives healthier and happier than before. Firstly, there are a few reasons for aging. The most possible reason is too much “active oxygen”. Oxygen is an essential element but at the same time, it causes aging and diseases. According to studies, we can slow aging by eating food filled with antioxidants. Secondly, there are dozens of aging symptoms that everyone experiences differently. Ask yourself, are you suffering from any of these issues listed below? Hot flashes Fatigue Night sweats Low libido Insomnia Irritability Mood swings Weight gain Depression Anxiety Difficulty losing weight Poor exercise tolerance Cold body temperature Cold hands & Feet Hair loss Joint pain Loss of muscle mass Panic attacks Breakthrough bleeding Vaginal dryness Memory Lapses Bone loss Water Retention Dry Skin Urine Incontinence Headaches Tearful Thinning skin Uterine fibroid Cystic ovaries Foggy thinking Increased facial hair Oily skin Allergies Acne Heart disease Decreased concentration Insulin resistance Swelling eyes Sugar craving High blood sugar If you answered yes to any of these, there is an opportunity for you to take back your life and renew the energy inside you. The Wave Age Reversal Pellet can gradually help you regain and retain your youthful energy over the course of your life. This pellet is designed to improve the aging symptoms above and consists of comprehensive treatments every 3 months for females and every 4 months for males —which are specific to your individual needs. Since everyone is different, each session will center around several factors such as your age, bloodwork results, and individual symptoms. In doing so, we’ll be targeting specific needs in your body and balancing your hormones which will improve your overall well-being and health. https://www. youtube. com/embed/7WObd6E1fPs Here at Wave, we are more than a practice that specializes in physical appearance—we are also a company committed to your health, youth, and wellness above all else.

Jinny Breaks It Down For You Whether you've recently undergone an upper blepharoplasty or are contemplating the upper eye lid surgery recovery process, it's crucial to understand the upper blepharoplasty aftercare involved. In this informative video, our Wave Consultant, Jinny, shares her expertise on the subject. She provides six simple tips to ensure the best eyelid surgery recovery outcomes. These tips are not just helpful but essential for anyone looking to achieve optimal healing after their upper blepharoplasty. 1. Use Ice Packs Provided By WAVE These ice packs are uniquely designed to conform to the contours of your eyes, playing a vital role in your upper blepharoplasty aftercare. For effective eyelid surgery recovery, it's recommended to apply these ice packs for a minimum of 20 minutes every hour during the first week post-surgery to minimize discomfort. This consistent application is a key element in reducing swelling and bruising and also promotes healing in the upper eyelid. 2. Rest & Watch Your Food Intake Limiting physical activity is a significant aspect of eyelid surgery recovery tips. The less you strain yourself, the better your recovery will be. Adequate sleep is a cornerstone of successful upper blepharoplasty aftercare. Additionally, watching your diet, particularly reducing salt and spicy foods, can greatly improve your recovery journey. 3. Limit Your TV, Computer & Devices Reducing eye strain is crucial in upper eyelid surgery recovery. The less strain you put on your eyes, the better it is for your overall healing and to reduce swelling. This is a vital eyelid surgery recovery tip that should not be overlooked, especially in the first few days after surgery. 4. Don't Wear Contacts For 1 Week To promote healing during your upper blepharoplasty aftercare, it's advised to avoid touching your eyes, which includes refraining from wearing contact lenses for at least a week post-surgery. This precaution is essential for a smooth eyelid surgery recovery. 5. No Makeup For 2 Weeks / No Eyeshadow For 1 Month! It's recommended to wait up to two weeks before using eyeliner after undergoing this cosmetic surgery. However, it's crucial to wait a full month before applying products like eyeshadow to avoid trapping particles in the incisions. 6. Use Scar Gel Provided By Wave After 2 Week Mark A pivotal aspect of upper blepharoplasty aftercare is the application of medical-grade silicone scar gel, such as Silagen or SkinMedica, provided by Wave. Starting this regimen two weeks post-surgery and applying it twice daily is an essential step in your recovery and is an excellent way to avoid scarring. Want To See More Content Like This?

She Got Just The Right Amount Of Filler Needed This real Wave patient got her lips injected with Volbella! She wanted a little more volume at the top of her lip sticking out without the overall shape changing too much in size. She also added a little bit of filler in her bottom lip to even things out. Check out her before and after slider at the end of the video! What's Volbella and Why Did She Choose This Filler? Volbella is part of the Juvederm collection by Allergan. Our patient wanted fuller lips without changing too much of her overall shape, so naturally, Volbella was a perfect choice since it is tailored to add subtle volume to the lips. What's The Right Shape For You? Many patients have different ideas of beauty, so there isn't a standard lip shape for anyone. It really comes down to what kind of lips you identify with and what makes you feel more confident with yourself. Aside from doing a little independent research, your first step should be going through a consultation so you're equipped with more information about every type of filler and presented with more options to choose from.

### Why More People Trust Injectables Today

- Categories: Face, General
- Tags: ben lee

More and More People Are Getting Injections-- We Briefly Explain Why 1. Truth: Injectables can have an anti-aging effect. Contrary to popular belief among disbelievers, injections do actually work. Botulinum Toxin (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) paralyzes the muscle to prevent dynamic wrinkles while making sure that existing lines don't get any deeper. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (such as Restylane and Juvederm) stimulate collagen production. 2. Myth: "Getting injected will make you look like you've had work done". This is a common misconception among many people. Like a lot of things which require professional handling, injecting Botox, Fillers and anything else similar requires you to be injected by experts to get the best results. Think of it this way: It should always come down to how it's done, not what's done. You wouldn't want a car salesman fixing or maintaining your engine, right? You'd want the experienced certified professional mechanic doing that. Furthermore, getting injected should be about maintaining and rejuvenating your natural appearance-- not about making yourself look like a completely different person. 3. Truth: These products are safe! Fun fact: Botulinum toxin was approved by the FDA back in 1989 and has been used in the cosmetic industry for almost 3 decades! Additionally, allergic reactions to neurotoxins are super rare (but of course, always tell your injector if you have extensive drug allergies! ). Fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm and others use sugar molecules (a stabilized form of Hyaluronic acid). To make sure you get the safest experience though, ALWAYS go to reputable practices that use REAL FDA-approved products. Still not sure? Let the numbers speak! There have been over 7 million+ injectable procedures performed in 2016, alone! And if you're still not convinced about their effectiveness and safety, you can always set up a consultation today to learn more about these injectables!

Source: American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) / Allure Pre-treatment • Ensure the face is clean of makeup and lotions prior to treatment. • Stop nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Advil, Aleve, Excedrin, Motrin, and aspirin 1-2 weeks prior to your scheduled treatment. • Stop fish oil, ginseng, vitamin A, and vitamin E 1-2 weeks prior to your scheduled treatment. • Arnica supplements have been shown to reduce discomfort, bruising, and swelling and may be taken prior to your scheduled treatment. • Topical numbing cream may be requested for added comfort. • If you have a history of cold sores, an antiviral medication may be prescribed prior to treatment. • Bruising and swelling is possible, therefore we recommend that you schedule any social plans accordingly. 7-10 days is recommended following your injection. Post-treatment • Do NOT lie down 4 hrs after treatment. • Do NOT manipulate the treated area for 24hrs after treatment. • It can take approximately 7-10 days for results to be seen. If the desired results are not seen after 2 weeks after your treatment, you may need more Botox. • Do NOT perform activities that involve straining, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise for 24 hrs after treatment. • Redness and tenderness at the injection site are expected and will subside over time. • Take Arnica to help with bruising or swelling.

### The Minimally Invasive Breast Surgery You Have to Know About!

A typical breast augmentation can help women attain firmer, fuller, and better-shaped breasts-- which is why it's one of the most performed cosmetic surgeries. Moreover, many studies have shown that breast surgery can substantially help boost self-esteem, self-confidence, as well as sexual satisfaction. However, not everyone is comfortable with the thought of going under the knife for a cosmetic procedure. Fortunately, with the advancement of technology nowadays, Wave Plastic Surgery is able to achieve a natural result with a minimally invasive technique called endoscopic breast augmentation. So What Is Endoscopic Breast Augmentation? Endoscopic breast augmentation is a procedure that adopted the cutting-edge technology of using an endoscope for a breast augmentation procedure. It places a tubular probe with a small camera on the end into the patient’s chest, allowing the surgeon to see within the patient’s chest wall during the procedure. A post shared by Wave Beauty Facts & Tips! (@waveplasticsurgery) on Aug 15, 2017 at 4:17pm PDT Real Wave Patient Above This provides a magnified visualization of the body’s internal structure (usually 50-100 times larger) which improves the accuracy of the surgery and helps avoid common problems —such as nerve and blood vessel damage— caused by more traditional breast surgeries due to the lack of visuals. Check Out The Benefits! A clear, magnified visual makes a safe cosmetic procedure Just like the aforementioned procedure, endoscopic breast augmentation improves the accuracy of the surgery and avoid the common problems caused by more traditional surgeries. Minimally invasive means quicker recovery & little to no scarring! The high accuracy of the procedure also means minimal scars and damage— (thus avoiding capsular contracture, breast hardening, distortion, hematoma, paresthesia, infection, and other symptoms). For an endoscopic breast augmentation, a very small incision is made underneath the armpit, so scars are unnoticeable! Great result, natural touch The result of an endoscopic breast augmentation is highly satisfying with a firmer, fuller shape, as well as more natural shape and touch. According to the latest study from the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, among all the patients who received endoscopic breast augmentation, 85% are “very satisfied”, 12% are satisfied, and only 3% are not satisfied with the result.

### Hyaluronic Acid vs Sculptra, Which One Is Better?

An Incredible FDA-Approved Wonder! The key component of Sculptra is PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid), which clinically was used to treat lipoatrophy or sunken cheeks in the past. It has been widely used in 46 countries as cosmetic surgery injectable products since 1999. By 2009 PLLA was FDA-approved for promoting deposition of collagen via a biostimulatory responses, correction of nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other lines and wrinkles. PLLA is a synthetic polymer of the alpha-hydroxy-acid family, it can stimulate collagen reproduction after being injected deep into the skin and as a result, making the skin firm and tender by filling the sunken areas of the face, and reducing lines and wrinkles. Two of the most distinguishing features are its compatibility and degradability. The degradation products are CO2 and H2O, which are non-toxic and can be naturally absorbed by the body without leaving any remains. The Multi-talented Sculptra: ✓ Reducing Nasolabial Folds! ✓ Reducing Marionette Line! ✓ Re-volumize Sunken Temples! ✓ Lifting Sagging Cheeks! ✓ Increase your skin's own natural collagen! ✓ Improving Jawline! ✓ Filling Tear Troughs! ✓ Tightening parotid gland! ✓ Long-lasting results! How Do I Achieve the Best Result? To achieve the best result, Sculptra needs to be followed on a course of injections. Depending on the individual’s physical responses to Sculptra, the number of injections needed varies too. Typically one course of the treatment involves three injection sessions, each one spaced four to six weeks apart. Your skin needs some time to gradually reproduce collagen, thus it takes 1 to 3 months to show some effect. The result can last 2 to 3 years. After the first injection, you will feel tightening and lifting on your face, like Sculptra is already in effect. However, this is just normal swelling from the fluid that the Sculptra is diluted in. The swelling will dissipate in a few days as your face goes back to normal. Depending on the patient’s condition and lifestyle, the effect and how long the result could last may vary. Typically the facial injection lasts over 25 months. Is Sculptra A Better Option Compared To Hyaluronic Acid? Although both Hyaluronic Acid and Sculptra are injectable fillers, how they work is quite different. Hyaluronic Acid uses dermal filler to fill the sunken areas, and the result is almost immediate. However, it does not last long and needs further injections on a regular basis. Sculptra works by stimulating collagen reproduction deep in the skin, thus it takes time to show the result--But, it lasts longer and looks more natural too. At the same time, Sculptra lifts and tightens the entire face. So, What’s The Difference Between Sculptra and Botox? Both can reduce lines and wrinkles, and both take some time to show the result after the treatment. For Sculptra it might take 2-3 weeks, whereas Botox might take 7-10 days. Sculptra usually lasts longer than Botox. Sculptra reduces lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen reproduction. It improves your skin from deep down, therefore it’s best used to treat wrinkles and sunken areas caused by aging. Botox reduces lines and wrinkles by blocking signals from nerves to the muscles. It helps the wrinkles to relax and soften, therefore it’s best used to treat dynamic wrinkles. Want to know if Sculptra is the best option for you? Please call for a consultation.

Dr. Lee Gives A Presentation on Autologous Fat Grafting to World Experts The 2017 4th Chinese Academic Conference on Adipose Medicine & International Symposium on Adipose Transplantation just wrapped up at Shanghai International Convention Center. Dozens of experts from the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Israel, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan held an academic discussion on Autologous Fat Graft, more than 1,000 doctors attended the convention. (Above) Dr. Lee speaking to a crowd of 1000+ Doctors and Experts. Highly Acclaimed Presentation (Shown Right) Another shot of the crowd size. During the convention, approximately 50 academic reports with world-class expertise and authority in various areas of adipose were presented. Dr. Peter Lee, Founder, and CEO of Wave Plastic Surgery, one of the biggest plastic surgery center in Los Angeles, gave a memorable academic presentation “Concomitant Fat Grafting with Facial Rejuvenation Surgery”, shedding new light on the adipose plastic surgery industry. The presentation was highly acclaimed by his peers. The Fat Grafting Process The fat grafting process transfers excess fat from the abdomen or outer thighs into areas that maybe lack in volume, giving a naturally young look to the patient. Because fat cells are live tissues, they will have sufficient blood supply after being injected into the face to sustain their survival. During this process, those fat tissues with no blood supply will be absorbed by the body. Depending on the procedure the amount of absorption might vary, but normally 50% will survive permanently. The fat cells can last 3 to 5 years, depending on an individual’s fat absorption capacity. To learn more about autologous fat graft, please call us to schedule a consultation to see if this procedure is right for you!

At WAVE we transform lives for the better every day, depending on individual stories and goals. Meet Le, a real WAVE patient who came to us several years ago seeking a complete transformation. Le had gained a lot of weight after moving to the US from China; she hated how she had let herself go and never liked her facial features in general. Feeling self-conscious and wanting to hide herself from the world, she began wearing baggy, oversized clothes and didn’t put any effort into her appearance. Le had given up on herself but one day she decided that she didn’t want to feel this way anymore-- she wanted to be her old self again but even better! Le searched for an Asian plastic surgery specialist and came across WAVE. She was impressed with WAVE’s before and after gallery so she decided to schedule a consultation. After meeting with Michelle and Dr. Lee to see if her goals were obtainable, Le agreed on a custom plan laid out for her which best suited her needs. Le wanted to be fit again, she wanted a more V-shaped face, accentuated eyes, a more delicate nose, and an overall softer feminine appearance compared to her current physique. Dr Lee broke down Le's transformation between two surgery days. During her first surgery she received an Asian upper blepharoplasty with ptosis correction and medial canthoplasty, a Precision Lift to give her the V-Line face shape, and full body liposuction. 8 months later she returned for a rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, and fat transfer to the forehead and cheeks. She completed her weight loss transformation with two weeks of the MediEssence diet program. Over the course of the next few months of healing, Le began to see her new face and body take form. Today Le cannot walk down the street without turning heads because of her striking looks. Le’s life was transformed to a level that surpassed her expectations and goals. She no longer hides her body. Instead, she is full of confidence and love for herself. If you’re looking for ways to improve yourself and gain more confidence, call us for a consultation. At WAVE, the only definition of beauty that matters is your own-- and what matters to us, is you. Before & After Photos Read this article in Chinese on our Official WeChat 关注我们的微信公众号，了解她的蜕变故事。

If you’re an injectable filler veteran, you’re familiar with the upkeep that is required for various types of fillers. Although time-consuming, the trips to Wave are well worth it once you leave the office looking refreshed and years younger after treatment. For some of us with limited time for office visits, Wave offers one particular filler that could save you a few trips over the course of several years. Bellafill is the only FDA approved injectable filler for the treatment of smile lines with results that last up to 5 years and treatment for acne scars that last up to 1 year. Bellafill is a great option for patients looking to fill areas of the face that are suitable for the denser composition of this filler. So what gives Bellafill its longer-lasting results over other fillers on the market? Bellafill is composed of a unique formula of collagen gel and microspheres. The collagen gel adds volume instantly while the microspheres create a structure that allows the product to deliver long-lasting results. Over time, your body will use the microspheres from the Bellafill to create a scaffold-like foundation upon which collagen can develop. Collagen development is important because it is the main structural protein that gives skin its firm, youthful texture. As we age, we start to lose more and more collagen causing wrinkles, loss of volume, and sagging in the skin. At Wave, we inject Bellafill to lessen the appearance of deep smile lines, add volume to a flat forehead creating a more aesthetically pleasing rounded curve shape, fill in hollow temples, lift cheeks, as well as correct acne scars. Yes, you read correctly, there’s an FDA approved treatment for acne scars that allows you to see improvements instantly! Bellafill injected to the forehead 3 weeks post-treatment Bellafill is injected into pitted acne scars filling in the scar and bringing it to the level of the surrounding skin. Patients who suffered from acne-prone skin are often left with indented scars caused by inflammation. Inflammation hinders the healing process and reduces the amount of collagen production resulting in uneven and pitted skin. It may take several treatments with Bellafill for full correction of acne scars, but results are proven to continue through 12 months! When planning your first Bellafill treatment, please note that all patients must do a skin test prior to treatment to identify any allergies to its ingredients. After your test comes back clear, you will then be scheduled to come back for treatment. If you have questions about Bellafill, please call to schedule a consultation. Spoiler alert! Please follow our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, WeChat, Kakao accounts for an exciting announcement at the end of the month!

### Real Or Fake? Do You Know What’s Being Injected Into Your Face?

Beware Of Fake Products Botox for $2 per unit? Restylane for $200 per syringe? Sure Groupons and sales are great for the bank account but be warned, the deal may seem sweet but the consequences of getting injected improperly or with a fake product will be costly. Read about how a 45-year-old woman was permanently disfigured and left temporarily blind after receiving a bad filler product from a non-Board Certified doctor. NewBeauty: How the Wrong Kind of Filler Left This Woman Completely Disfigured. Source: NewBeauty You may have seen some crazy deals for injectables that seem too good to be true, trust your instinct and ask questions. Do your research and ask the practice what percentage of their product is actually diluted product? You may be getting charged for 40 units of Botox and only receiving 20 Botox units total after dilution! Another thing to ask your plastic surgeon: How many ML’s of the product does their “full size” syringe hold? There have been many cases of practices advertising 1 syringe for a steal but in actuality what you’re receiving is half the amount of the regulated syringe direct from the manufacturer. These practices repackage the manufacturers' product into their own half-size syringes and advertise them as “full size” syringes to unsuspecting consumers. So how do you spot the difference? Any reputable practice should be willing to open the box of product in front of you and prepare the syringe, if not, ask them to do so – this is for your own safety! Study our photos of the official product boxes that all of our injectables arrive in straight from the manufacturer. Take note of the various vial and syringe sizes so that you know what to look for. If the nurse/doctor refuses to show you the box that your product came in, we would raise a red flag and question the authenticity of the product. Don’t risk getting a non-FDA approved product injected into your face that could cause you harm, result in horrible results, or the best worst-case scenario – the product is so diluted that it doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do or last as long as it’s supposed to. At Wave, we purchase all of our injectables direct from the manufacturer: Allergan, Galderma, Merz, and Suneva. Patients have the option to be injected by our qualified nurses or by one of our doctors. Our Board Certified doctors are part of the ExpertInjectors™ network; there are more than 1. 2 million doctors who are legally qualified to administer injectables in the United States but only less than 3 percent are qualified to be ExpertInjectors™. If you’re considering injectable wrinkle treatments or facial fillers, please give us a call to set up a consultation today at 888-674-3001. Wave guarantees the real authentic product administered by highly skilled practitioners.

### Why Choose A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon?

  So you’ve decided to make a few improvements and the next step is selecting the best Plastic Surgeon for your surgery. First things first, do your research and choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. You only have one body to live in for the rest of your life, so treat it right! You may be wondering, what’s the difference between an ASPS Member Board Certified Plastic Surgeon versus a regular Plastic Surgeon? An ASPS Member Board Certified Plastic Surgeon: Is Board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery® (ABPS) Has completed at least 6 years of surgical training after medical school with a minimum of 3 years of plastic surgery residency training Passed comprehensive oral and written exams Graduated from an accredited medical school Completes continuing medical education, including patient safety, each year Performs surgery in accredited, state-licensed, or Medicare-certified surgical facilities Adheres to a strict Code of Ethics Board Certified Plastic Surgeons must renew their Certification every 10 years. Maintenance of Certification in Plastic Surgery (MOC-PS®) is the Plastic Surgeon’s commitment to ongoing professional development and assessment in line with other professional expectations and requirements within health care. Professionalism Verification of state medical license(s), hospital privileges, accreditation of non-hospital-based freestanding outpatient surgery centers, membership in one of the Board’s sponsoring organizations, and peer review Life-Long Learning and Self-Assessment 150 CME (Continued Medical Education) credits in the previous 3 years Completion of one MOC-approved educational activity Assessment of Knowledge, Judgement, and Skills MOC-PS® Examination Improvement in Medical Practice Completion of one Practice Assessment Module to review cases Action Plan for Improvement Review of benchmarking report of case data to compare to peers All board certifications are not the same. A doctor that trains for a year in some form of surgery can be “certified” by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS), which has less stringent requirements. ABCS sounds very similar to ABPS, but The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is the only board recognized by the strict requirements of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). A Plastic Surgeon that is Board Certified by an ABMS specialty board is an expert in a medical specialty by meeting the profession-driven standards and requirements of one (or more) of the 24 ABMS certifying boards. Long story short, don’t take a risk on the outcome of your plastic surgery results. Choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and have peace of mind that you are in experienced and qualified hands.

### New Painless Ultherapy Available at Wave Los Angeles!

Ultherapy is a revolutionary noninvasive treatment that tightens the deeper layers of the skin as well as the SMAS, the layer of fibrous tissue that covers the facial musculature. It does this by focusing ultrasound energy on these tissues, causing them to tighten and lift, at the same time that the fibroblasts within the skin are stimulated to secrete more collagen, the protein that gives skin its support and elasticity. However, the transmission of this energy to the skin and soft tissues causes them to heat up, and this can cause discomfort for some patients while they are undergoing Ultherapy treatment. We have found that patients’ pain tolerance can vary widely. For some patients, the procedure is easily tolerated after taking 800mg of ibuprofen. For most of our patients, the application of a topical anesthetic cream for 20-30 minutes before the Ultherapy procedure is sufficient to allow patients to tolerate the procedure quite comfortably. Other patients require a higher level of pain control for Ultherapy. For these patients, we offer intravenous pain medications that can make them a bit sleepy, and also reduces the level of discomfort during the procedure. Patients have their vital signs continuously monitored by a nurse while the procedure is being performed if they choose this option. Finally, for those patients who have a low pain threshold, or a great deal of apprehension about the degree of pain that they anticipate may be associated with Ultherapy, we offer the option of receiving a deep intravenous sedation in an operating room setting under the care of an anesthesiologist while the Ultherapy treatment is being performed. This also has the advantage of removing almost all memory of the procedure afterward. This menu of options allows us to tailor the level of analgesia and anesthesia to the individual needs of each patient, and, in so doing, open up the procedure to any patient who might have hesitated to enjoy the benefits of this powerful noninvasive facial aesthetic treatment because of a fear of the discomfort that might be associated with it. Welcome to the new era of painless Ultherapy at Wave Plastic Surgery Center! If you are interested in any of our painless Ultherapy options, make sure to mention to this during your consultation or when you call to make your next Ultherapy appointment.

Q: Mini Tummy Tuck vs Full Tummy Tuck? Wave Patient: Tummy Tuck B&A A: Sometimes A Trade-Off Is Worth The Trade Yours is a question that we receive frequently. Part of the answer to it is a function of your expectations. Are you willing to accept less dramatic results in exchange for having a smaller procedure? Given your history of multiple c-sections for the delivery of 11lbs babies, I do not believe that your "ab work" has "pushed your stomach out". Rather, you have a diastsis recti that prevents your abdominal wall from effectively restraining the mass of the contents of your abdomen from pushing forward through this opening , and giving your abdomen an overall convex shape. Secondly, the issue is not whether you are "fussed" or not about your stretch marks. The real issue is that your abdominal skin has been stretched from your pregnancies and weight gain so that it has lost a good deal of its elasticity, and is now somewhat redundant and dependent. The reason for you to do a full abdominoplasty, rather than a "mini", is not to remove all the stretch marks on your abdomen, but to remove all of the excess skin, so that it drapes properly over your abdomen. A miniabdominoplasty will not allow your surgeon access to remove the appropriate amount of skin. It will also not allow him to perform a complete repair of your diastasis recti. The result will be that you will continue to have excess hanging skin, particularly laterally, and your abdomen will continue to have an overall convex shape unrelated to, and never to be improved by, your sit up regime. You would be far better served to undergo the appropriate surgery without cutting corners, and accept the trade off of a slightly longer scar for an overall improvement in your abdominal contour and aesthetics.

### Celebrity Plastic Surgery Case Study: Iggy Azalea – Breast Augmentation, Rhinoplasty, and Chin Augmentation?

With her recent well-publicized confessions that she has “gone under the knife", the conversation on the celebrity gossip websites has gradually evolved over the past few months from one revolving around the question of whether Iggy Azalea has had plastic surgery to whether the resulting change in her appearance has been for the better or the worse. These debates can become quite fraught, for those who follow them, with a lot of heat generated, but precious little light shone on the subject. Let’s take a step back and look at what Iggy Azalea has had done from the perspective of a plastic surgeon. First, if one looks at the complete photographic record of pictures of Iggy, starting from the beginning of her career, it appears that her recent rhinoplasty may not have actually been her first rhinoplasty. However, the overall effect seems to have been to narrow and refine the bridge of her nose, while softening and giving further definition to her nasal tip. Omitted in this debate is the reality that many patients often seek out rhinoplasty for difficulties they are having breathing through their nose. This would be particularly important for a singer. Also overlooked by most of the discussions of Iggy Azalea’s rhinoplasty is that it appears that she had a chin augmentation performed concomitantly. These two surgeries are often aesthetically complimentary, and, together improve the balance and proportion of the patient’s face, particularly in profile, to a greater degree than either one performed in isolation. The overall effect of these surgeries in Iggy Azalea’s case is to make her face appear a bit longer and more v-shaped in the vertical direction, and a bit more refined and elegant overall. This concept of balance can also be applied in assessing the results of Iggy Azalea’s breast augmentation surgery. Comparing photographs of the singer taken before and after her surgery, it is apparent that Iggy opted for a moderate, though noticeable, increase in the size of her breasts. Chief among the benefits of her surgery are an improvement in the overall shape and volume of her breasts, as well as more defined and noticeable cleavage in certain outfits. More generally, there is a better balance between her lower body and her torso, and no doubt the range and style of clothing she can wear has improved, much to the satisfaction of both the singer and her stylists. By going public, and being so open about having plastic surgery, Iggy Azalea has shifted the conversation from “did she or didn’t she” to "what can careful, aesthetically appropriate plastic surgery do to improve one’s appearance and boost one's self-confidence". The answer in Iggy Azalea’s case is “a lot”. Hundreds of Wave Plastic Surgery patients will tell you they have had an identical experience (minus the paparazzi).

On December 11th and 12th 2015, Wave Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Laser Center held its first annual Wave Beauty Expo at the Los Angeles surgical center. Honorary guest, Walnut City Mayor Mary Su took part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony on December 11th along with our four Wave surgeons: Dr. Peter G. Lee, Dr. Jonathan Shifren, Dr. Goretti Ho. There were also plenty of media representatives in attendance from Korean, Chinese, English, and Hispanic outlets, which included ZWTV, Phoenix TV, World Journal, MBC America TV, Korea Daily, Korea Times, Radio Korea, Woori Radio, and El Aviso to name a few. The two-day event featured interactive booths by managed 16 industry leaders in the field of cosmetic surgery. Beauty Expo guests were excited to be presented this unique opportunity since a gathering of industry professionals at this scale is typically reserved for medical conferences held strictly for medical professionals. A select number of representatives held seminars and live demonstrations to discuss their latest technologies and developments. Allergan demonstrated how to effectively use Botox, Juvederm, Voluma, and Kybella to sculpt an aging face. Inmode demonstrated our latest Vanish Light IPL laser treatment that targets sun spots, acne scar marks, and improves overall skin tone. Ultherapy treated two patients with sagging skin on their face and jawline with their non-invasive ultrasound technology. Picosure demonstrated their powerful laser treatment that improves the appearance of acne scar marks, pigmented lesions, and wrinkles. Coolsculpting demonstrated how to freeze the fat away with their non-surgical body contouring procedure that utilizes Cryolipolysis to target problem fat. In addition to the seminars held by our industry guests, our four surgeons also presented a series of seminars on surgical procedures including facelift, rhinoplasty, eyelid, breast augmentation, liposuction, mommy makeover, and our latest addition ThermiVa – a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment. For those who were aware of how busy our doctors’ schedules can get, it was a special treat to be able to speak with them one-on-one in a casual setting. Our doctors, consultants, and nurses were hands-on participants, providing advice to anyone who sought their professional insight. Attendees also took advantage of our special Beauty Expo promotional discounts on both surgical and non-surgical procedures as well as discounted skincare products. The event was a great success thanks to the Wave staff and our valued partners at Allergan, Coolsculpting/Zeltiq, Cynosure, EltaMD, Endotine/MicroAire, Galderma, Inmode, Is Clinical, Jurlique, LightStim, Merz, NeoStrata, Puregraft, SkinMedica, Swiss Line, and ThermiVa.

Si la dieta y el ejercicio no son suficientes para deshacerse del exceso de grasa, Lipoláser lo puede hacer. El lipo-laser no invasivo es considerado como el procedimiento de moldeamiento corporal mas sano para el cuerpo, ya que utiliza energia laser para destruir la grasa y removerla mas facilmente. Tus lios con las llantitas, los muslos y hasta la papada pueden terminar de una sola vez con el uso de lipo-laser. Soy candidato para una lipo-laser? Si usted es una persona sana, quien a pesar de llevar una dieta adecuada para su cuerpo tiene zonas difíciles de eliminar por más ejercicio que haga, es el candidato adecuado a realizarse Lipoláser. Ya no tendras que sentirte incomoda en la playa , ni tendras que preocuparte por esconderte en tu bikini ya que esto puede resultar desagradable fisica y mentalmente. El Lipoláser puede ser utilizado en varias zonas dificiles como las siguientes: Cara y papada Brazos Los pechos y bulto del brasier Abdomen Caderas y llantitas Muslos y rodillas Como se hace una lipo-laser? El láser es un rayo de luz invisible al ojo humano, calibrado especialmente para actuar sobre las células encontradas debajo de la piel que contienen grasa, por lo que con ésta técnica la grasa se destruye y transforma en aceites para que más tarde sean eliminados por medio de la orina, o sean aspirados cuando el área de Lipólisis es grande. Algunas de las ventajas de la lipo-láser en relacion a la liposucción convencional es la existencia de un menor sangrado y por consecuencia la disminución de hematomas o moretones en su piel. Además el grado de inflamación se reduce por lo tanto hay menos dolor en las áreas tratadas y la reincorporación a las actividades diarias es temprana. La Liposuccion Láser tiene una duración aproximada de 1 hora por área a tratar o menos. Este tipo de Cirugía Estética permite trabajar con anestesia local, si el área es pequeña. Después de aplicada la anestesia se realizará una pequeña incisión para introducir el láser y comenzar a realizar movimientos hasta que se disminuya el volumen de grasa en la zona. La liposucción láser estimula la formación y remodelación de fibras de colágeno y elastina, obteniendo un efecto de rejuvenecimiento y retracción de su piel. Como es la recuperacion despues de una Lipoláser? Después de realizada la operación, deberá llevar una prenda compresiva o una faja, que le ayudará a evitar la inflamación excesiva y a acelerar el proceso de recuperación.

If you want to look and feel great in a bathing suit this year, consider undergoing a breast augmentation procedure that can enhance your figure just in time for spring! Breast surgery can restore your youthful contours and give you a big boost in self-confidence. We have helped many women achieve a beautiful figure or the hourglass body shape they’ve always wanted with this popular breast enhancement procedure. Here’s what we can do to get your body in great shape just in time for spring: Increase Your Cup Size with Breast Implants One of the most common reasons why women undergo breast augmentation surgery is because they want larger breasts. If you have always been self-conscious about having small breasts and would prefer to fill out your clothes and bathing suit, we may recommend breast implants that would increase your breast size by one or two cups. We can review different types of implants and sizing options during your consultation. For many women, even a subtle increase can create a significant difference in your body proportions and accentuate your upper body. Restore Feminine Contours with Breast Augmentation Surgery If you have lost volume of the breasts or have drooping breasts after weight loss or pregnancy, we can restore your feminine contours with breast implants. We can perform breast augmentation with a breast lift to create a ‘perkier' and more youthful silhouette. A combination procedure could be just what you need to achieve an hourglass figure and maintain a more feminine look. We can determine whether you will be a good candidate for gummy bear implants during your consultation and can show you some breast implant before and after photos so you have realistic expectations about your surgery. Now is a great time to consider breast enhancement in LA, because undergoing a procedure now means you will be ready to hit the beach just in time for spring. We can put together a customized treatment plan based on your goals and share information about complementary procedures that can help you achieve your ideal figure.

If you’re planning to wear sleeveless dresses or short skirts this holiday season, dare to go bare by undergoing a few laser hair removal sessions over the next few weeks. Our innovative Advantage™ system can effectively reduce and eliminate body hair from virtually any body area. The system uses a high-energy pulsed diode laser system to target the hair follicle and in many cases, the hair does not grow back. We can set you up with a series of treatments right in time for the holidays so you can look forward to smooth, hair-free skin for those holiday events! Benefits of Advantage™ LA Laser Hair Removal Treatments Advantage™ laser hair removal treatments can help reduce or permanently remove unwanted body hair. We can treat a large range of skin types with these treatments and most patients can tolerate the treatment very well. Sessions are much shorter than typical LA laser hair removal treatments and you will enjoy significant results within weeks of your first session. The Advantage™ laser is up to 40 percent faster than other systems and promises high efficacy. This system is unique because it protects the epidermis while thinning out the treatment area. This makes the treatment much more comfortable for the patient. The melanin in the follicles absorbs light energy from the laser and this is converted into thermal energy, which destroys the hair follicles and stops hair growth. Silky Smooth Skin for the Holiday Season If you want soft and silky skin this season, you may only need a few treatments to get results. Whether you’re self-conscious about underarm hair, hair on the legs, or those small hairs around the upper lip and chin, we can help you stay hair-free all season long. Get started with a series of treatments on any part of the body now, and look forward to progressive results for the next few weeks and months! We can put together a customized treatment plan that will help you get the results you want in the shortest amount of time possible. Schedule your laser hair removal consultation today!
