Dr. Jay Calvert Shares Details on New Patent-Protected Investigational Breast Implants


Board certified Dr. Jay Calvert was chosen as one of the investigators of the new IDEAL breast implants. These implants are known to have the same result as that of silicone gel but are much safer. The clinical trial has begun accepting patients who are willing to undergo the procedure and commit to follow up check ups for the next 10 years.

More and more women are turning to cosmetic surgeries such as breast augmentation and rhinoplasty in order to enhance their looks. The increase in the demand for these types of operations have paved the way for new procedures and tools to be developed in order to ensure the safety of the patients. Among these new developments is the IDEAL breast implant.

"This [IDEAL breast implant] is the first improvement in the basic design of the saline-filled breast implant since it was introduced over 30 years ago,'' explained Dr. Calvert when asked about the new product. The IDEAL breast implant is saline-filled and structurally lowered in order to fit better to the chest wall. It was also designed so that it doesn’t wrinkle and would feel and look natural.

The clinical trial for this new product is currently on going and patients are being selected to undergo the treatment. The trial program specifies that the patient must pay for the breast augmentation, however, if they are able to complete the 10-year clinical trial, then they will be able to receive some financial benefit. Dr. Calvert, MD, FACS, who is one of the surgeons performing this clinical trial, said that it is like an insurance policy; the company will put part of the patient’s payment in her trust fund, and after 10 years, the trust fund is expected to grow to about 10000 US Dollars. Dr. Calvert added that “women who entered the study will then have the comfort of knowing that there’s money for them at the end of the study, if they do all their follow ups and complete the study properly.” Even though Dr. Calvert is optimistic about this new breast augmentation technique, he still adds that, “if problems come up and we need to draw upon that money and stop the study, then there’s money there to do that.”

Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Calvert also performs other cosmetic surgeries including breast augmentation, post-bariatric surgery, face-lift and rhinoplasty among others. He is based in Los Angeles, California and sees new patients at his two offices in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach.  http://www.drcalvert.com

Dr. Jay Calvert MD, FACS, Speaks on the Dangers of Getting Discounted Plastic Surgery


In a recent episode of the local TV show, the Tyra Banks show, the story centered on Tina, who was planning to go out of the country to get a liposuction. She wanted to got to Tijuana, Mexico to get a chin lift, full tummy tuck, and surgeries on her abdomen, waist and back. One of her friends, Jullian, was scared that she might be putting herself to harm so he asked renowned cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jay Calvert, to intervene.

Dr. Jay Calvert, an experienced cosmetic surgeon, was concerned about Tina so he scheduled a discussion with her. He asked her what she would like to be done surgically then he also inquired on how long she was planning to stay in Mexico. He then wanted to know if she had met with the doctor personally, saw his certification and know his professional background. Furthermore, Dr. Calvert also inquired how she was able to find this doctor. Tina answered every question honestly. She told Dr. Calvert that she’s planning to stay in Mexico for a week and that she found the doctor on a web site. Tina’s answers, however, alarmed Dr. Calvert more, so he tried to convince her from getting her surgery done in another country.

Dr. Calvert explained that to have the operation in his center will cost about 31,000 US dollars and that her tummy tuck may cost an additional 15,000. He admitted that Tina might get half this price off if she gets her tummy tuck done outside Los Angeles but the post operative after care might not be as good. Dr. Calvert added that if she gets her surgical care done in Beverly Hills, her tummy tuck would include an overnight stay at the center with a nurse. It would also include all of her follow up appointment in order to see if she developed hematoma, spasms, seroma, muscle problems and other complications that may occur after she had her plastic surgery. Dr. Calvert explained that when someone flies in to have a tummy tuck, he asks the patient to stay in Beverly Hills for a minimum of two weeks in order to receive an effective post surgery care. However, despite all the explanations, Tina still went to Mexico. Dr. Calvert was disappointed and said that she may get a successful operation there, however, if complications occur, she will be totally out in the cold. Still, he hopes that everything works out well for her.

It is essential to select a board certified surgeon with an extensive experience and track record when choosing to undergo any type of surgery. The post operation after care is also very important in order to ensure that no complications develop after the procedure and if ever there is, then it will be treated immediately to prevent further ailments.

Dr. Jay Calvert is a certified cosmetic surgeon by the American Board of Plstic Surgery. He received his medical degree at the Cornell University Medical College and completed his seven-year combined General and Plastic Surgery Training Program at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is based in Los Angeles and sees new patients every week at his Beverly Hills and Newport Beach offices.  http://www.drcalvert.com

Los Angeles Based Plastic Surgeon Performs Otoplasty to Correct a Congenital Condition


Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS, an experienced cosmetic surgeon, consulted with Jenille to explain the details of the operation as well as the preparation ad after care needed for it. He performed what he calls “an aggressive approach to otoplasty” in order to correct her ears. Jenille came out of the successful surgery and was satisfied with the results. She said the condition has been affecting her self-confidence and now she regained her self-esteem.

Jenille always thought that her ears are too big for her face, because of this, she suffered from lack of self-esteem and was always trying to hide her ears behind her hair. On one episode of the Tyra Banks’ Show, Jenille explained her situation and she was introduced to Los Angeles-based plastic surgeon, Dr. Jay Calvert to perform an initial consultation. Dr Calvert took a look at her ears and was confident that he could provide a solution for the patient. After a few more discussions and after understanding everything that she needs to know about the procedure, she was then scheduled for surgery.

Dr. Calvert, the well-renowned cosmetic surgeon, stated that what he did was an aggressive type of otoplasty. He explained that he had to remove cartilage from the ball of the ear in order to change its appearance. He then recreated the fold of the ear and tucked the entire ear back to the skull; this prevented the ear from sticking out. Finally, Dr. Calvert took some of the extra skin out from the front of the ear in order to reduce its size. The surgery result showcased a new ear that was significantly smaller in size and properly tucked back to the head.

After the operation, Jenille and Dr. Calvert went back to the Tyra Banks’ Show to tell the people how successful the operation was. They made a comparison between the pre and post surgery photos to highlight the aesthetic improvement that the otoplasty was able to achieve. Jenille was very grateful for the outcome of the procedure and praised Dr. Calvert for being a very capable and thorough surgeon.

Dr. Jay Calvert obtained his medical degree at the Cornell University Medical College in New York and completed his seven-year combined General and Plastic Surgery Training Program at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is based in Los Angeles California and performs other types of cosmetic surgery including rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and facelifts. He has two offices located in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach and sees new patients every week.

Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS, Performs Body Lift on Patient Who Just Had Massive Weight Loss


Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS, performed a body lift operation on celebrity Jackie Guerra who appeared as a guest at the Tyra Banks show. The celebrity decided to proceed with the operation after a series of consultations with Dr. Calvert. The cosmetic surgeon assured her that her surgery would be a success prompting her to gain confidence in the operation.

Jackie was suffering from obesity, and after several years of fighting against her condition, she was able to overcome it. She underwent a gastric bypass surgery to aid her in achieving her goal. The result was a success, however, due to her massive weight loss, she suffered from yet another problem, her excess skin. The massive weight loss caused most of her skin to not retract, especially on her arms, so they stayed loose and hanging, and she had to cover them up with her clothes.

She consulted with board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jay Calvert, who was eager to do a body lift operation on her. He provided Jackie with all the information necessary in order for her body lift to be a total success. He also made the patient understand why it is important to prepare for surgery. In addition, Dr. Calvert made Jackie stop smoking and got her on a workout regiment in order to oxygenate her body. The renowned plastic surgeon briefed the patient thoroughly, so that she will be able to understand the process that she may have to go through during and after the operation.

After several preparations and when Dr. Calvert was convinced that Jackie was ready, he finally operated on her. He not only performed surgery on her arms but also on her side and all around her waist as well. Dr. Calvert said that he was able to remove one square yard or nine feet of skin off of Jackie’s entire body. At the Tyra Banks’ TV show, he supplied a piece of fabric in order to describe how much skin he took off. Jackie Guerra was pleased with the result of her operation but there is still another surgery that needs to be done which will focus on removing the extra skin on her thighs. Dr. Calvert explained that it was a 12-hour surgery and it couldn’t be done at the same time.

“Every person has their own vision of beauty,” explained Dr. Calvert. “My goal is to develop a treatment plan designed to help [individuals] achieve their aesthetic goals safely and effectively,” he added.

Dr. Calvert also performs other types of cosmetic surgery including rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and face-lifts. He completed his medical degree at the Cornell University Medical College in New York and is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery Dr. Calvert is now based in Los Angeles, California and has two offices in Newport Beach and Beverly Hills where he consults with new patients.  http://www.drcalvert.com

Board Certified Dr. Jay Calvert Develops New Lip Enhancement Procedure by Combining Two Surgical Techniques


Dr. Jay Calvert, a plastic surgeon from Los Angeles, introduced a new procedure to the public, which he called LA Lip Enhancement. This new method promises to provide clients with lips that will look more full. LA Lip Enhancement is a surgical operation that enhances of the lips by making use of the patient's own tissue to increase the size of the lips and the area surrounding it, resulting to a more youthful mouth and lips.

The LA Lip Enhancement treatment is designed for people who want to enhance the appearance of their perioral region, which is the area around the lips, and the lips itself, with the use of their own tissue. The surgical candidate does not need to have thin lips, but the operation is mostly used for increasing the size of the lip region. Several patients who have undergone this procedure were previously using Collagen or Restylane treatments, and were positive about the results. However, these two treatments require a return visit every three or six months in order to re-inject the products.

“I originally created this operation as an additional technique for patients undergoing rhinoplasty or facelift surgery,” explained Dr. Calvert when asked how he developed this new surgical operation. “It [LA Lip Enhancement] has [now] become a primary procedure for many patients in my practice,” he added. The operation combines two procedures that work together to produce optimum results. It is done on an outpatient basis and uses a local anesthesia for sedation. The first step is to excise a thin strip of skin, usually from an old scar, and to implant it through the upper lip and lower lip. Then, the next step is to harvest fat from the abdomen, hips or knees and inject it into the lips. The two-step procedure creates an enhanced, natural-looking lips.

Another benefit of this method is the lowered risk on the hazards of lip enhancement because the fats and skin being used came from the patient’s body, The possibility of body developing allergic reactions and rejecting the skin and fat is minimized up to the point of elimination.

Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Jay Calvert has developed many effective methods for cosmetic surgery other than the LA lip enhancement. He also performs other surgical enhancement procedures including liposuction, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and breast reconstruction. Dr. Calvert finished his seven-year combined General and Plastic Surgery Training Program at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is now based in Los Angeles, California where he sees new patients in his two offices in Newport Beach and Beverly Hills.

Dr. Jay Calvert Performs Nasal Reconstruction on a Woman with Damaged Nose


Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS, who guests at the Tyra Banks’ show to offer free consultation to surgical patients, performed a different surgical approach to a woman with a deformed nose. The deformation was caused by a targeted attack done to her by her very own workmate. The said officemate, whom she thought was her friend, bit the patient’s nose and removed a large part of it. Since then, the woman’s confidence decreased to the point that she even convinced her husband to go outside the marriage because she felt unattractive.

“Out of 21 doctors, only one doctor would see my case” said Jennifer Hamilton. “We had a lot of doctors that we went to that had no interest at her all, didn’t want anything to do with her, said it couldn’t be done or just didn’t care” adds Chris Hamilton, Jennifer’s husband. The couple was left with no hope, until they found Dr. Jay Calvert, who was eager to see the patient.

Dr. Calvert was convinced that he might be able to do something for Jennifer. He thinks that other surgeons who have seen Jennifer would suggest putting new tissues in her nose. But contrary to this, Dr. Calvert believes that all the tissues are already on her nose. He also believes that it only takes some creativity to see beyond the defect. Therefore, instead of trying to put tissues on the patient’s nose, which would give her a big nose that she might have had before, part of Dr. Calvert’s solution is to create a new and beautiful nose from all the tissues that are already there. This kind of surgical approach would produce optimum results.

Dr. Calvert admitted to the patient’s husband that it was a very difficult operation, but the operation turned out well and was considered a success. He also assured him that this might help Jennifer bring back her lost self-esteem.

Aside from being an expert in rhinoplasty and other nasal reconstruction cases, Dr. Calvert also performs other types of plastic surgery and specializes in aesthetic surgery including face-lifts, and breast augmentation. Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Calvert earned his medical degree at the Cornell University Medical College in New York and completed his seven-year combined General and Plastic Surgery Training Program at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is now based in Los Angeles and is seeing new patients every week at his offices in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach.

Dr. Calvert Diagnoses a Man with Gynecomastia on the Tyra Banks’ Show

During one of Tyra Banks’ Show, a man named Frank described his abnormally large mammary glands and Dr. Jay Calvert, a renowned plastic surgeon based in Los Angeles, California, explained the possible procedures that he would like the patient to undergo.


Many people who are struggling from obesity or being overweight are going through drastic ways to alleviate their condition. Numerous people have triumphed over this situation and among these men include Frank, who was able to lose over 200lbs within a year and a half.

It may seem that Frank was able to overcome his weight problems; however, he was faced with yet another problem. His rapid weight loss left him with excess skin on his breasts, abdomen and all over his body. Cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jay Calvert diagnosed Frank with Gynecomastia, which is a state where a man’s breasts are abnormally large.

Dr. Calvert explained how men are able to get this disease. He said that, “the most common reason is just with puberty. Some men have a little bit of breast tissue behind the nipple and they can grow pretty significantly with hormonal fluctuations.”

In addition, Dr. Calvert also stated that anabolic steroids may also cause this disease. “Men who are overweight have a lot of circulating estrogen that can cause it (Gynecomastia) as well” adds Dr. Calvert. He also adds that with a dramatic weight loss such as the case of Frank, the skin is already so stretched and that it will not retract.

Dr. Calvert did a primary consultation on Frank’s condition and offered specific solutions to his problems. He also encouraged Frank to visit his office in order to do a full consultation. Dr. Calvert needed to get Frank’s medical records in order for the surgery to be as safe and effective as possible. He is positive that he will be able to provide Frank the necessary treatment to correct his condition.

Aside from being an expert in male breast reduction, Dr. Jay Calvert, a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, also specializes in other surgical methods for males such as rhinoplasty, face lifts and eyelid tuck among others. For female patients, he offers breast augmentation, body lifts, face-lifts and nasal surgery reconstruction including secondary rhinoplasty. Dr. Calvert earned hi medical degree at the Cornell University Medical College in New York and completed his General and Plastic surgery training at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is now based in Los Angeles and consults with patients in his offices at Beverly Hills and Newport Beach.

Dr. Jay Calvert Guests in Tyra Banks’ Show to Give Free Consultation and Breast Reconstruction to a Patient


Dr. Jay Calvert, who practices his profession in Los Angeles, California, performed a free consultation on a woman whose breast augmentation went terribly wrong. Dr. Calvert also offered his services in order to help this woman get the new body that she has been wanting for the past 6 years.

Every year, millions of people are spending a lot of money in order to change their appearance. However, what people usually don’t know is that, if the cosmetic surgeon or the patient is not careful enough, there may be complications. If the patient is not briefed well, surgeries may end up in a terrible nightmare.

This is what Jennifer learned after she got breast implants more than 5 years ago. Jennifer says during one of the episodes of The Tyra Banks’ Show that, “when they (surgeons) tell you that there could be complications; they don’t tell you that you might have to walk around with one breast”.

Dr. Jay Calvert explains that there can be extreme complications that are very rare. In addition, Dr. Calvert says that, “they are part of informed consent that Jennifer seemed to have missed when she was learning about her surgery. That would make people sort of take pause and say; what does that translate into”.

However, Dr. Calvert was confident that he could help Jennifer. He also said that there are operations that can be done to make things better. It may not bring the patient back to the whay they were, however, he appeased Jennifer that he has helped other patients with cases much worse and confirms that he can definitely assist her with her situation.

After the consultation, Dr. Calvert performed breast reconstruction on Jennifer. And after four hours of grueling operation, the breast reconstruction surgery was a success. Dr. Calvert also shared the news to Jennifer’s fiancé, Mike, by calling him on the phone and telling him that the surgery was a success.

Dr. Calvert admits to Tyra Banks that it was a difficult operation. Nevertheless, he was able to undo all scarring, as well as the damages that Jennifer’s previous breast implants have caused.

Aside from breast reconstructions, Dr. Calvert also specializes in other methods of plastic surgery including breast lift, breast reduction, breast augmentation, liposuction, otoplasty, rhinoplasty and face lifts.

Dr. Calvert completed his seven-year combined Plastic Surgery Training Program at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is based in Los Angeles, California and sees new patients at his two offices in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach.

ROXSPA BEVERLY HILLS INTRODUCES A TRANSFORMATIVE MICRO-COLLAGEN FACIAL


Collagen of this Quality has Never Been Available Before as a
Topical Application


(Beverly Hills, CA)—RoxSpa is pleased to announce that it is now offering Purigenex Ionized Collagen Masks (ICM) and Intensive Collagen Serum (ICS). They are one of the few medi-spas in the nation to have access to these new and highly effective skin treatments. Both the Masks and the Serum bring significant therapeutic impact and dermal cell regeneration to those seeking to prevent and repair their skin from aging, sun damage, discolorations and acne scarring. The preservative-free formulas also support and build connective tissue integrity and elasticity – resulting in skin that appears smoother and more supple.

"I love this treatment! For the first time, topical collagen can actually penetrate to the dermis and make significant improvements on a cellular level,” states Kelley West, RoxSpa Director and clinical Aesthetician. “My patients are amazed at the immediate results and I am personally addicted to this product. Purigenex helps to stimulate the body's own production of collagen which improves the tone and texture of the skin, plumps fine lines and wrinkles, lightens hyperpigmentation, and gives the patient an overall glow and youthful appearance. And this is the only "treatment" oriented facial that is safe for all skin types and expectant mothers. Truly, I haven't been this excited about a new procedure in a very long time!"

Utilizing pioneering molecular chemistry and the newest bio-engineered delivery systems, Purigenex products deliver collagen of the highest potency, affinity, and assimilation that work to rehydrate cells, balance electrolytes, soothe inflammation, and draw toxins away from the sub-dermis. Their formulas are medically engineered with the world’s most highly purified atelocollagen in a telopeptide-free condition—a truly non-immunogenic, collagen in its most active form. Up until now, collagen with these qualities has not been available in topical cosmetic preparations.

About Atelocollagen
Collagen is a long, fibrous, and extremely strong protein located inside of your body's connective tissue. It is what keeps skin looking plump and elastic. However, it’s “telopeptides” can cause an allergic response in approximately 20% of all individuals. In atelocollagen, the telopeptides are removed, creating a non-immunogenic form which is higher in density, so it is easily absorbed by the skin. Additionally, Purigenex’s negatively ionized collagen produces an electrostatic interaction with the skin, allowing it to penetrate deeply into the dermal and basal tissue. Purigenix’s atelocollagen was originally developed by researchers as a medical grade material for tissue regeneration

RoxSpa Aesthetics is one of the most prestigious and luxurious medi-spas in the Beverly Hills triangle. It is located in the offices of highly-respected plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS, who is RoxSpa’s medical director.

TOP BEVERLY HILLS MEDI-SPA PRESENTS
“ROXSPA 180” FACIAL REJUVENATION PACKAGE

“RoxSpa 180: A Complete About Face” Offers
Facelift-Like Results at Minimal Cost

Cooler Months are the Best Time for Laser Treatments

(Beverly Hills, CA) - RoxSpa, one of the most prestigious and luxurious medi-spas in the Beverly Hills triangle, presents a personalized all-in-one facial-rejuvenation series that gives facelift-like results at minimal cost: “RoxSpa 180: A Complete About Face.” It can turn one's life around just as it has for millionaires, celebrities, Hollywood wives and others. Highly-respected plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS, who appears regularly as a medical expert on the “Tyra Banks Show,” is RoxSpa’s medical director.

An integral part of Dr. Calvert’s surgical consortium, Roxbury Surgical Associates, RoxSpa is presenting “RoxSpa 180” in time for winter. “The best time to undergo laser rejuvenation procedures is during the cooler months,” Dr. Calvert said, “because minimal sun exposure is advised both before and after laser treatments.”

An incredible value, “RoxSpa 180” uses two different laser technologies to treat virtually every conceivable facial skin issue by improving skin tone, texture and firmness; minimizing fine lines, and reducing or eliminating sun spots, red spots, Rosacea, acne scars and large pores. Since “RoxSpa 180” also includes a choice of either Botox® or dermal fillers, it can also treat deep expression lines, forehead creases, the nasolabial folds, crow’s feet and more.




As part of this completely personalized facial treatment package, RoxSpa’s expert staff will apply two laser technologies – Harmony® Photofacial and Pixel – and will help patients choose between Botox and dermal fillers depending upon their skin condition and desired areas of improvement.

As is widely known, Botox® temporarily relaxes the tiny facial muscles that can cause worry lines in the forehead, crow’s feet, frown lines and laugh lines. Dermal fillers including Restylane®, Juvederm® and Evolence® are injected to increase volume in depressed facial areas such as the nasolabial folds (between the nose and mouth) and the jowls (between the mouth and chin), taking years off of one’s appearance.

“Multiple modalities are better because you’re treating a range of problems at once,” said Physician’s Assistant Orla Stewart, who assists Dr. Calvert on all surgeries, and is one of the plastic surgery-trained PA and RN practitioners who perform procedures at RoxSpa.

Anna C., 60, a Newport Beach life coach, said, “Having the (RoxSpa 180) Photofacial and Pixel treatments in preparation for my class reunion was a nurturing, life-changing experience that made a dramatic difference in my appearance. My pores are tighter, lines minimized; the pigment spots are lighter or completely gone, my skin texture is more youthful, and my skin has a healthy glow. I overhear whispers asking, ‘has she had a facelift?!’”

“RoxSpa 180: A Complete About Face” is performed as a series over a period of weeks or months, depending upon the patient. Each treatment takes an hour or less. The length of time between treatments depends upon the patient’s skin condition. Minimal healing time is required of all of the procedures with the exception of the Pixel, which may require 5-7 days for the skin to heal completely.

The reduced “RoxSpa 180” package price ranges from just $1,800 – 2,500 (a savings of $200 to $500) and includes one Photofacial treatment, one Pixel treatment, and either one facial Botox treatment (using a maximum of 25 units of Botox) or one dermal filler treatment. RoxSpa is in the Rox-San building at 465 N. Roxbury, Suite 1001, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. For information, call 310-777-0496 or visit www.roxspa90210.com.

Plastic Surgery Performed by Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS for Children with Big Dreams


Dr. Jay Calvert, a plastic surgeon based in Los Angeles, performed effective surgical methods on young patients who don’t enough money for surgical care. Together with other surgeons and advocates, he rallied to form Surgical Friends Foundation, a group that aims to provide surgical care for patients who have no chance of receiving the operation either because of lack of medical facilities or monetary resources.

There are many developing countries where healthcare is non-existent. Most of the time, children with physical malformations suffer from lack of self-confidence, which prevents them from pursuing their dreams. Many of these kids are embarrassed to interact with other kids and thus live a life of social seclusion. Although the demand for surgical care is very high, most people who need this care don’t have enough money to go to a cosmetic surgeon to have their deformities corrected. The consultation may be free, but the cost for hospitalization, as well as the implants and other devices are very high. With the advent of Surgical Friends Foundation, these demands are now slowly being met.

Elena, a patient of Dr. Calvert, was diagnosed with congenital malformation of eyelids, nose and maxilla. She had six surgeries before she met Dr. Calvert and Dr. Kami Parsa, MD, an Oculoplatic surgeon. Dr. Calvert performed nasal reconstruction on her, while Dr. Parsa took over the reconstruction of her eyelids. “My goal is to create physical harmony,” says Dr. Calvert, he also added that, “when things aren’t there or they aren’t normal, creating normalcy from the abnormal is very, very tough. That’s also my passion.” Dr. Calvert firmly believes in the important role of surgeons in their patients’ healthcare. “As Surgeons, we are the ones who are privy to the joy and the transformation that these patients really go through when their physical deformities are corrected,” he explained.

Dr. Calvert has been performing plastic surgery for many years and is among the leading experts in nasal reconstruction. He also specializes in other cosmetic surgery such as breast augmentation, lip augmentation and facelift. His surgical services extend not only to women, but also to men and young adults. Due to his utilization of advanced methods and his expertise in cosmetic surgery, many experienced cosmetic surgeons refer their patients to him so as to achieve optimum results. Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Calvert received high seven-year combined training at General and Plastic Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is now based in Los Angeles, California and has two offices in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach where he sees new patients every week.

Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS Joins With Other Surgeons to Create Surgical Friends Foundation


Currently there are millions of people all over the world who are afflicted with acquired, congenital or post traumatic physical deformities, however due to lack of monetary funds or access to quality health care, they continue to suffer with their deformities and never get proper medical help. The vision of the founding members of Surgical Friends Foundation is to unite a team that would reach out to all those suffering from physical deformities and give them access to quality medical care.

Surgical Friends Foundation aims to bring philanthropists, surgeons and other medical professionals together to help patients, from any part of the world, who are suffering from life-threatening reconstructive cases and do not have access to proper medical procedures or equipments. Another goal of the organization is to equip and educate medical teams from all developing countries with new surgical techniques that could potentially help save lives.

“I was asked to be involved in Surgical Friends by Dr. Kami Parsa, who has a tremendous passion for correcting these problems for patients from around the world,” shared Dr. Calvert when asked why he decided to join the Foundation. “We’re donating our care, we’re donating our time, and we believe that’s [going to] make a difference, and if it’s one patient at a time then so be it,” Dr. Calvert added, “But I think it’s an attitude about healthcare that’s really [going to] lead Surgical Friends to a different level.” Dr. Calvert offers his expertise in plastic surgery and rhinoplasty to help patients achieve facial harmony.

The goal to make a difference is what makes Surgical Friends a unique philanthropic activity. As more and more children are born with congenital defects like pediatric deformities, missing limbs and cleft palate, the demand for proper medical attention has risen as well. Dr. Calvert and the rest of the team help alleviate this demand by offering their medical expertise and surgical services for free to those who need them most.

Dr. Jay Calvert received his Medical Degree at the Cornell University Medical College in New York and completed his residency training in General and Plastic Surgery at the University of Pittsburg in Pennsylvania. Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, he performs all types of plastic surgery and specializes in aesthetic surgery and rhinoplasty.

Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS Stresses Importance of Post-Bariatric Facelifts


With the rise of people taking a stand for their health, massive weight loss programs including bariatric surgery are becoming popular. This operation involves reducing the size of the stomach through removing parts of it, introducing implants or doing bypass. The U.S. National Institutes of Health recommends this surgery for people who have a BMI of more than 40 in order to reduce the risks of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In post-bariatric surgery, the focus of the procedure is on the excess skin of the legs, arms and abdomen. Dr. Jay Calvert, a Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon, pointed out that the steep costs associated with these two combined operations have prevented patients from seeking post-bariatric facelift surgeries, however he explained that the most exposed parts of the body should never be neglected.

“I believe the face needs to be addressed in the overall plan for post-bariatric reconstruction, using techniques that offer the best results,” Dr. Calvert stated when asked about the importance of post-bariatric facelifts. The face and neck have many layers and this includes the skin, the fat under the skin, the SMAS, which is the suspension layer of the face, the muscles, the periosteum, which is the lining of the bones and finally the bone area. These layers are necessary for the face and neck to function properly. During massive weight loss, each layer is affected in a different manner causing the skin to thin and become dehydrated. The decrease in the face and neck volume causes the skin to hang and results in droopy cheeks, a down turned mouth and downcast eyes.

“The most crucial part of the process is repositioning of the facial structures to create the look of youth,” explained Dr. Calvert. He then proceeded to discuss the best approach to address the issue of neck and face volume loss after bariatric surgery. The initial pre-operative step is to create an outline on what needs to be done to the brows, eyes, cheeks, jowls and the neck area. The first surgery will then be the neck area, which may be done twice depending on the amount of skin that needs to be removed. The second procedure is the cheek and jowl lifts to create a more youthful look. Finally, the last step is doing the eyelid operation, mid facelift and lower facelift all at the same time to preserve facial harmony.

Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS, finished his Bachelor’s Degree in Molecular Biology at the Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee and earned his Medical Degree at Cornell University Medical College in New York. He is a certified plastic surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and specializes in aesthetic surgery.

Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon Proposes Three-Pronged Approach for Facial Rejuvenation

Beverly Hills-based cosmetic surgeon Dr. Jay Calvert explained that achieving and maintaining a youthful-looking face requires three important steps. The necessary procedures for the facial rejuvenation process depend on several factors like the age, genetics, and the areas that need attention. The three steps, which are medical injections, laser treatment and surgery, or any combination of the said procedures, may be the right approach to take at any given age.

Restylane and Juvéderm are dermal fillers that revitalize the facial appearance by enhancing volume and decreasing the appearance of lines. Botox is another non-surgical injection treatment that blocks nerve impulses to the tiny facial muscles that cause wrinkles. Pixel Laser Resurfacing is the use of laser beams to remove damaged outer layers of the skin and stimulate collagen and new skin cell production. A complete facelift is a surgical procedure that includes elevation of the jowls, mid-face, neck, brows and even eyelids. Dr. Calvert stated that the right time to avail of these procedures depends on how the person views their current appearance and how they want it to progress over time. He added that people as young as 25 can benefit from any, or a combination of these treatments.

“For all patients, the best approach is a staged approach, just like the approach to keeping a youthful look,” replied Dr. Calvert when asked about the facial rejuvenation process. He stressed the importance of developing a long-term relationship between patients and their plastic surgeon in order to track the progress of the treatments and determine which step to use at any given stage. “There are no quick fixes to undo the aging that has occurred over decades. However, some fixes are more aggressive than others and that is why timing and preparation for the facelift procedure is so important,” Dr. Calvert added.

When deciding to undergo the facial rejuvenation process, patients are advised to start with the least invasive medical procedure, but the cases vary depending on the stage of aging that is present on the skin. Typically, patients in their late 20’s undergo the Restylane, Juvéderm and Botox treatment coupled with other skin products and Pixel Laser Resurfacing. Patients in their late 30’s seek brow-lifts, eyelid surgery and formal facelifts when signs of premature aging are visible. The candidates for facelift surgery are mostly patients on their 40’s or over.

Los Angeles Cosmetic Surgeon Uses less Invasive Instruments to Perform Facelifts

Dr. Jay Calvert, a Los Angeles-based cosmetic surgeon, is one of the major proponent s of using less invasive instruments to perform facelifts. He has incorporated the use of the endoscope into his practice since the beginning of his career and he views this tool as a valuable instrument in performing surgery because it minimizes the amount of incisions that need to be made in order to reconstruct or remodel the face.

Current facelift approach uses open surgery, a traditional type of operations where a long incision is made for the surgeon to insert the instruments and perform his work. This method often results to big scars and may even cause infections or complications because a large part of the person’s face is exposed thus potentially leading to internal bleeding, hematoma and sever blood loss. Dr. Calvert tries to avoid these risks by using an endoscope in his surgeries.

“In my experience, there are fewer complications and faster recovery times with endoscopic surgery,” said Dr. Calvert when asked why he typically uses less invasive cosmetic surgery over open surgery. Facelifts, mid-facelifts, brow lifts and neck lifts are just some of the operations that have been made less invasive by the use of this tool. "Incisions can be minimized, visualization improved, and results maximized through the use of the endoscope,” added Dr. Calvert.

A facelift is a facial rejuvenation procedure that is becoming more and more common these days. Dr. Calvert shared that the patients who consult his opinion on cosmetic surgery are as young as 25, but the demographics of those who actually undergo the treatment are mostly people on their late 30’s and 40’s. Once the patients are on the 60’s or 70’s age range, they may require a more aggressive approach to obtain the younger look that they desire, nonetheless endoscopes will still be very useful In reducing the scars that will result form the operation. Dr. Calvert stresses out that it is important to follow good pre-operative workups for other medical conditions before going through surgery

Dr. Jay Calvert Employs New Procedures to Eliminate Windblown-Looking Facelifts

The sub-periosteal facelift is a technique that Dr. Calvert uses to create a more youthful look for his patients. In this procedure, the direction of the lift is vertical, moving toward the upper face instead of the usual approach of lifting back toward the ears, thus eliminating windblown-looking facelifts. This technique is not only valuable in lifting the cheek, but the jowl as well, giving fullness to the cheeks and enabling the corners of the mouth to turn upward and give the jaw line a clean silhouette.

Traditional facelift procedures pull back on the skin of the face without taking facial animation into consideration. It does not undermine muscles and therefore results to a tight and pulled-back face, which appears dated and unattractive. Dr. Calvert’s new techniques and equipment allows for a more rejuvenated and natural look for his patients.

“I looked at all of Dr. Calvert’s credentials and all the people he’s done, I was very impressed,” said Donna, one of Dr. Calvert’s patients for the facelift procedure. “He seems to produce a product that looks refreshed, rather than so pulled,” she continued. Dr. Calvert is now leading the group of cosmetic surgeons who utilizes the sub-periosteal facelift to restore youthful fullness to the aging face. This is a significant improvement to what some doctors refer to as the windswept or windblown facelift that used to be popular a few decades ago.

“My goal is to create a brighter, natural look so my patients appear as a younger version of themselves,” stated Dr. Calvert when asked why he prefers the sub-periosteal technique to other procedures. He agrees with leading fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi when he said, “There is nothing that will age a person more than a bad facelift,” this is what motivates Dr. Calvert to keep developing his skills and using new methods that will prevent windblown, pulled and stretched looks.

Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Advances Rhinoplasty Surgery with New Technique to Build Nasal Bridges

Plastic surgeons are calling the Diced-Cartilage and Fascia Graft, also known as the “DCF Nose Graft”, as the greatest advancement in Rhinoplastic Surgery in the past three decades. Dr. Jay Calvert, the Los Angeles-based plastic surgeon who developed this procedure, published his initial findings in 2004 and he has since refined the operation to allow for optimum results.

Before the DCF Nose Graft was perfected, surgeons had to wait for the post-operative swelling to subside before they can find out if the rhinoplasty was a success or had to be reconstructed. With the advent of this newly refined procedure, the DCF Nose Graft now allows doctors to mold the nose for several weeks right after the operation. Dr. Calvert’s extensive research and experience in the field played a significant contribution in the development of this technique.

“It [DCF Nose Graft] allows the [nasal] bridge to be re-contoured by adding new tissue to it, and the final shape to be controlled by molding it post-operatively,” said Dr Calvert when asked to describe the procedure. This new way of using cartilage and fascia grafts is mostly applied in forming or restoring the bridges of the nose. “This technique could’ve been a key part of an operation to repair Michael Jackson's nose,” Dr. Calvert added. The case of Michael Jackson's compromised proboscis, which was published a few years ago, was a good surgical candidate for this procedure, however the technique was not perfected until just recently.

The procedure uses the patient’s own rib cartilage and tissue to form the graft and reduces the chances of rejection or complications. DCF Nose Graft is commonly employed for both “Roman” or “aquiline” noses as well as “saddle” or overly scooped noses. Although previous attempts to develop similar procedures have come up over the years, all of them failed to achieve positive results. Dr. Calvert, an internationally recognized expert in reconstructive nasal surgery, has mastered the technique after over seven years of clinical research and surgical practice.

Named as “the most effective way to create a better bridge." at the 2008 American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) conference in San Diego, the DCF Nose Graft procedure is now widely used by a majority of rhinoplasty surgeons. Every year, Dr. Calvert performs more than 200 rhinoplasty operations and uses the DCF Nose Graft treatment in more than 125 patients.

Dr. Jay Calvert earned his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in New York City. His extensive research in bone regeneration and tissue engineering built his reputation as an expert in rhinoplasty revisions and nasal reconstruction. He is based in Los Angeles, California and has two offices in Newport Beach and Beverly Hills. http://www.drcalvert.com

Plastic Surgery: A Life Changing Procedure

Plastic Surgery is a life changing decision. A permanent change to your appearance should be carefully weighed and proper time should be given in order to make the right choice. For most patients who elect to have cosmetic surgery performed, self consciousness and low self-esteem are a problem. Surgery is a way to escape those feelings and emerge with a new outlook on life. Though sometimes emerging with a new outlook on life is an unrealistic expectation, emerging from surgery with more self confidence and a body the patient can take pride in is well worth the pain and cost of the procedure. There are few procedures that can change the appearance as effectively and dramatically as rhinoplasty and post bariatric lifts.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, in the year 2008 152,434 rhinoplasty procedures where performed. It is the fourth most popular cosmetic procedure and one of the most effective appearance enhancing surgical procedures available.  Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that changes the size, shape, length and/or width of the nose and is sometimes used to improve the function of the nose.

Rhinoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia. In a closed rhinoplasty, any incisions are made inside the nose. In an open procedure, an additional incision is made in the skin that separates the nostrils. The bone and cartilage are restructured or reshaped and the incision is closed. Recovery time can take as much as six weeks.

A post bariatric lift is a complex procedure where incisions are made all the way around the midsection. Excess skin is then removed, resulting in the tightening and firming of the waist, stomach, hips, buttocks and thighs.

Most patients who get a post bariatric lift have lost significant amounts of weight and are now at a stable weight. The best candidates are those who are healthy and have chosen a healthy lifestyle. Smokers and those whose weight balloons and retracts are discouraged from having this type of surgery done. The effects of surgery, including numbness in the abdominal area, can last up to six month or longer.

When having a cosmetic procedure it is important to investigate your surgeon. After all, cosmetic surgery is life changing. Make sure your surgeon is board certified and participates in continuing education. It is a good sign if he or she has hospital privileges, insurance and a great reputation.

What is a Post Bariatric Body Lift?

Sixty four percent of American adults are overweight or obese. Most of that sixty four percent will never lose the extra baggage and attain their ideal weight. Obesity causes horrendous health problems and leads to many emotional and mental scars. The use of gastric bypass surgery in the United States has soared due to this obesity epidemic. Gastric bypass surgery is highly effective, though risky. Most of those who have a bypass admit that it is well worth it. With great amounts of weight loss come a new set of problems though.

After a gastric bypass or natural weigh loss through diet and exercise, patients usually notice large amounts of wrinkle, flabby, empty skin. No amount of exercise or special cream will take those folds of skin away. As a result, many cosmetic procedures have been created. From breast lifts to arm tucks and tummy tucks to liposuction, nearly every surgery to fix this problem has been invented and implemented. Now there is an all-in-one type of surgery being offered: the post bariatric body lift.

The post bariatric body lift is sometimes called a belt lipectomy because of the incisions encircling the body the same way a belt would. A post bariatric body lift tightens and firms the skin on the thighs, buttocks, hips, groin, waist and abdomen. By removing excess skin and tissue, a much more youthful, attractive body contour is achieved.

Patients who receive post bariatric body lifts usually have large amounts of hanging, empty skin in several areas of the body. A more average appearance is the objective of this surgery. The best candidates for the surgery are at a steady weight and are non smokers.  The patient must be in good health and committed to diet and exercise. A good attitude is a must.  

If you have lost significant amounts of weight and are self conscious about the way your skin looks now, you should consult a plastic surgeon. In so doing, you can change your life for the better. Be sure to find a surgeon who has a keen aesthetic eye and has an excellent reputation. A board certified surgeon is imperative. Check his or her credentials, as this surgery is a major operation and will change your life. Only put your life and looks into the hands of the best surgeons. Dr. Calvert is a board certified plastic surgeon and has an excellent reputation as one of the finest plastic surgeons in the United States.
