Top Four Most Popular Plastic Surgery Procedures in Los Angeles

Plastic surgery in Los Angeles is not just for celebrities any more. There is great variety of plastic surgery procedures that a Los Angeles plastic surgeon can offer. When looking at the trends of Los Angeles plastic surgery based on my own and my colleagues’ practices, it becomes clear that certain procedures are much more popular than other ones.

Breast augmentation using Silicone Implants or saline implants is one the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures. Women who are unhappy with the size of their breasts or those who would like to restore the breast volume which was lost following pregnancy turn to a plastic surgeon for breast enhancement. In some women with droopy breasts, in addition to breast augmentation, breast lift would need to be performed in order to achieve a better breast shape. Silicone Breast Implants recently became FDA approved for cosmetic breast augmentation in the United States. Silicone breast implants offer the advantage of a more natural feel and less risk in implant rippling.

Tummy tuck is another most commonly performed procedure by Los Angeles plastic surgeons. Staying in shape and in particular having a flat stomach has been promoted in today’s society. Exercise and diet do not always allow to flatten the stomach especially in people who lost weight or in women following pregnancy. These people typically have stretched abdominal skin which can only be removed with surgery. During a tummy tuck loose abdominal muscles are also tightened which further flattens the stomach.

Liposuction similar to tummy tucks is a frequently requested procedure. It can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures such as a tummy tuck. Liposuction will remove areas of fat accumulation such as in flanks, thighs, neck, back, and abdomen.

Rhinoplasty (also referred to as nose reshaping or nose job) concludes the list of most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures. Both men and women turn to plastic surgeon requesting to improve the shape of the nose. Most commonly patients complain of a bony hump, wide nose, or droopy tip. Some pateint request to improve their breathing. In many patients, rhinoplasty is combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation or liposuction. As the popularity of plastic surgery is increasing, it becomes very important for any person considering plastic surgery to do research to ensure that your is skilled and safe.

Orange County Breast Augmentation

Orange County Breast Augmentation has become one of the most commonly performed plastic surgical procedures across the world. Many women turn to plastic surgeons to enhance the size of their breasts or restore the breast volume that may have been lost following pregnancy or weight loss. Today breast enlargement procedures are performed using silicone or saline implants.

First breast augmentation was performed using paraffin injection in 1890. This procedure resulted in infections and formation of lumps and thus lost its popularity.    Fat transfer from the abdominal or buttock area to the breasts was attempted in 1920.  Not all of the transplanted fat survived. As some fat went away, breast asymmetry and lumps resulted. Even though this procedure did not gain a wide acceptance at that time, recently some surgeons were able to produce more predictable results with fat transplant.  However, concerns remain whether cancer detection may be obscured with transplanted fat.

In 1960 silicone was introduced for breast augmentation. Initially this was done in the form of silicone injections. The injections resulted in chronic inflammatory lumps called granulomas. Today silicone injections are FDA approved for breast augmentation. Some physicians or non-physicians still performed silicone injection for breast augmentation, typically outside of the US. 

These synthetic sponges hardened producing a hard breast. Additionally, sponge infections and possible link to cancer caused this procedure to be abandoned.   Another unsuccessful material for breast augmentation was soybean oil. Soybean oil implants produced toxic and rancid byproducts and therefore were not approved.

In the 1960s Silicone Breast Implants gained a wide popularity for breast augmentation as they resulted in soft feeling augmented breasts. Due to concerns that Silicone Implants may cause cancer, FDA banned the use of silicone implants for cosmetic breast augmentation but permitted their use for reconstructive purposes through clinical trials. Recently, silicone implants became FDA approved for cosmetic breast enhancement as studies have confirmed their safety.

Today saline filled and silicone gel breast implants are FDA approved for breast augmentations. Recent studies in the US show that the New Silicone Breast Implants have similar complication rate to saline filled breast implants. The new generation of silicone implants is less likely to leak and form capsular contracture than the first generation. Gummy bear breast implants are currently under investigation and will likely gain FDA approval in the near future.

Is breast augmentation surgery worth it? This is a determination only the patient can make. If the risks and cost of surgery are greater than the potential benefits, the answer is no. For many patients, however, the increase in self confidence and psychological benefits of having a shapely and attractive figure more than outweigh any potential negatives. In any case, the decision to seek breast augmentation surgery is not one to be taken lightly.

The first step toward finding out if breast augmentation is appropriate for the prospective patient is to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in her area. By sitting down with a doctor and exploring the risks and potential rewards of breast argumentation surgery, a woman can gain the information she needs to make an informed decision about her own best course of treatment.

Beverly Hills Breast Implants And Breast Augmentation Highlights

Beverly Hills Breast Implants And Breast Augmentation Highlights

 As a Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Vishal Kapoor receives many inquiries on Beverly Hills breast augmentation surgery and Beverly Hills breast implants as well as other plastic surgery procedures. In a recent online media outlet, Dr. Kapoor discusses the two types of implant options for breast augmentation surgery in Beverly Hills.

He explains that one is a saline implant while the other is a silicone implant. Both of these implants are good choices for breast augmentation in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles Breast Augmentation. The biggest difference is the feel of the implants, with the saline tending to feel firmer in nature and the silicone implant feeling more natural and soft. Again, both are extremely safe, durable, and long lasting. For most patients, the decision is personal.

 In Beverly Hills Tummy Tucks And Liposuction Also Remain Popular Procedures 

Traditionally, cosmetic procedures have largely been associated with femininity in theme and cultural perception, however plastic surgeons have received and will continue to perform many liposuction procedures in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills on both female and male clients. For male patients considering Beverly Hills liposuction or liposculpture, the most common areas that they want to address are the abdomen, the waist (love handles), and the chest area.  Anyone can plainly see after observing a local newsstand that men and women alike are similarly if not equally image-conscious about themselves and their surroundings. For female patients considering Beverly Hills Liposuction, the most common areas are the inner and outer thighs. Experts tell us in either case, it is important to realize that liposuction in Beverly Hills and liposuction in Los Angeles should not be used as a method to lose weight. In fact the best candidates for Beverly Hills Liposuction are patients who are at or close to their ideal body weight who have diet and exercise resistant fat deposits.  For more details about plastic surgery procedures, contact your local specialists to learn more about various procedures available in your area.
