The hallmark of a youthful face is a well defined jaw line with a sharp line between the face and neck. If excess fat develop underneath the chin and along the jowl line with good skin tone and minimal excess skin, liposuction can be performed. In this procedure, one or two small incisions are made on the underside of the chin and/or in the crease around the earlobes. A canula or hollow tube is place beneath the skin and into the fatty tissue. Using this canula, this excess fat is broken up and suctioned out eliminating the double chin and creating a nice contour of the neck.

I recently saw a thirty-year-old woman from Yorba Linda who complained of excess fullness in her neck. She said her mother and father both have this problem and despite diet and exercise, she was unable to lose this fat. After liposuction of her neck, she developed a youthful, natural and clean neck. She returned to work after three days and was extremely pleased. She said this procedure had changed her whole life and her attitude about herself.

Following breast augmentation or breast mastopexies (breast lift), revisional surgery may be necessary in a few cases.  The patients tissue elasticity and the amount of stretching that can occur after these procedures is variable and may necessitate a minor revision. A period of six months is required for all the swelling and tissue stretching to occur. At this time, further adjustments to the breast can be performed.  Sometimes the infra mammary crease may need to be elevated in order to correct a double bubble appearance.  This occurs when the infra mammary crease is too low allowing the implant to fall and cause distortion of the breast.  In mastopexies, the scars may need to be revised and the tissue envelope tightened.  Even though these complications occur infrequently, the patient must realize that these problems can occur and may need to be corrected.

In my practice, I spend a lot of time with the patient showing photographs of patients with the types of scars following mastopexies. I also show surgical results following revisions. In almost all cases, revisional breast surgery is met with satisfaction and the scars and shape of the breasts are markedly improved.

Come in to my practice I would love to talk with you.

Everyday I spend a lot of time discussing implant size with patients. Bra cup sizes vary according to the manufacture. Patients need to know that implant size that they see on the Internet or on another patient may not achieve the same result for them. There are many variables including preexisting breast volume, chest wall shape and tissue elasticity. I use a dimensional method to determine optimal implant size which considers the patients height, weight and body frame. I measure the diameter of the breasts, thickness of the tissue and the tissue mobility. By doing this properative analysis, I am able to achieve the most optimal results.

Breast Augmentation is performed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Today silicone has been approved for all woman. In my practice, it is very important to explain the differences between silicone and saline implants. Silicone is softer and more natural then saline implants. There is also less rippling with silicone implants. A woman must realize that if she chooses a silicone implant, that MRI’s must be performed periodically to look for a rupture. The rupture rate for implants is approximately 3% within the first ten years. All the studies have indicated that silicone is safe with no established systemic effects. Even though silicone implants are modestly more expensive, from my observations, women believe the extra price is worth the advantages.
