Lipoaugmentation; using your fats in a good way


Lipoaugmentation or the transfer of fat is a procedure that has been developed in transferring fats through injections for several purposes. It could be used for facelift and also breast augmentation. A lot of women around the world today want to undergo lipoaugmentation in removing their unwanted ugly fats in some portions in their body such as in the stomach and thighs and transfer it to the breast to make it look fuller. The procedure is carried out in such a way that small amounts of fats are being injected into several areas throughout the breast. It took several risks and challenges as well as criticisms before this kind of procedure was analyzed and eventually accepted in the medical community. Some were worried that it might cause problems with the mammary glands or the fats might be reabsorbed in the body making the person look unpleasant again. However, following studies gave answers to such concerns.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed the results of their study of 50 recipients presenting that none of the respondents acquired breast related problems. It even turned out to be negative based on cancer tests. There was also another study that showed the same result and stated that all of the patients were very satisfied during and after the procedure. They are proud of their new breast sizes since that it was enhanced in a natural way or by using their own fats. Lipoaugmentation is usually performed as an outpatient procedure where patients can just directly go home after the procedure. However, it will still take several months for the patient to fully recover. There is also a negative side of it where the patient is required to wear a tissue expander device for few weeks both before and after the procedure. Such device aims to create a space for the injected fat to move freely. There are also reported cases that problems arise especially on women who do not know how to use the device very well. Moreover, the volume of the breast becomes unstable as some women dramatically gain and lose weight.  It is very necessary to find a doctor who is well experienced in this kind of medical breakthrough. It is also important that not all women are qualified to undergo the procedure.

Dr. Jay Calvert is a very experienced surgeon in this field. Lipoaugmentation is very common to him. He already conducted several lipoaugmentation procedures in the past including face and lip lift as well as breast augmentation. All of his operations were very successful. In the field of enhancing the breasts of women, he prefers to use human fats as the perfect filler because it is all natural. However, there are really some women who are very insistent even though their physical structures suggest that the procedure might not be good for them. In such a case, success upon the first operation cannot be fully assured. They still need to undergo more rounds until success can be achieved.

Breast augmentation or implants as a kind of prosthesis utilized to change the shape and size of a woman’s breast. It is also known as breast enlargement, mammoplasty enlargement, or for some slang, boob job. The main reasons of many women foe undergoing such operation is to enhance self esteem because more guys are attracted to women with healthy bumpers, cosmetic concerns such as reconstruction of breasts for breast cancer patients, or simply to correct congenital deformities in the chest wall. There are also individuals who are males that undergo breast augmentation in order to look like females since that they believe that they are really women trapped in male bodies. At present, breast augmentation is the most commonly conducted cosmetic surgery in the United States based on the data provided by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Such information shows that around 307, 230 breast augmentation procedures were performed within the American territory in 2007. Despite the financial challenges brought about by the economic crisis, the number of people undergoing the procedure still increases.

For the benefit of the many, there are actually two different types of breast implants being used by surgeons in their operation: the saline-filled and silicone-gel filled implants. The former have a silicone elastomer shell that is being filled with saline liquid that underwent sterilization process while the latter have a silicone shell being filled with a silicone gel that has high viscosity. The usage of either of the two types is case by case basis. The surgeon is the one who decides what will be used for the patient depending on the chest structure. It is very necessary that surgeons who will perform breast augmentation procedures should have enough experience on the field to avoid complications that would greatly devastate and disappoint the client.

In this field, Dr. Calvert is one of the most reliable surgeons. In fact, breast augmentation is the most famous surgical operation that he performs so he really has more than enough experience in this area. He is highly capable of customizing the procedure for clients so that their needs and desires will be met.

This worry can be eliminated if you will let Dr. Calvert handle the operation for you. He is excellent in making his patients very comfortable that as if everything will gonna be alright which is always the case after every operation. Dr. Calvert mentioned that he always work hard in order to produce an enhanced breast for his patients which look very natural and proportionate. He believes that it is a very important undertaking for women so surgeons should give their utmost attention and render the best of their efforts in conducting the procedure. However, doing your best might not be enough. It is also very important that you have excellent training and educational records which Dr. Calvert is proud of having.

Nipple Reconstructions – Multiple Successful aesthetic solutions


Aesthetic nipple reconstruction procedures have revolutionized and can now yield attractive results.  Studies have shown that when most people, both men and women, view the breasts, their eyes focus onto the area of nipples and areolas. A plastic surgeon can successfully perform a breast reconstruction procedure, but improper nipple reconstruction can completely ruin the aesthetic appearance and affect the patient psychologically.
Although nipple aesthetic procedures aren’t frequently performed as breast augmentation, Los Angeles highly sought procedures; they are the demand of women who are highly meticulous to achieve the optimum aesthetic results. The success of the nipple reconstruction is highly determined by creating nipples which are perfectly located on the mound of the breast and are of the right size, color, shape and texture. It is more challenging to the plastic surgeon to perform unilateral nipple reconstruction, because he has to match the other side’s areola and nipple.
Skilled plastic surgeons are proficient at multiple techniques of nipple reconstruction to go with different breast augmentation procedures. In most cases, skin flaps or grafts are used to replace the lost nipple and areolar tissue. In selected patients, some plastic surgeons use tattooing as the only procedure to successfully reconstruct the nipples. Recently, local flaps are the most commonly utilized reconstruction procedure. The plastic surgeon creates a nipple using the patient’s own fat and covers it with a skin flap. On the other hand, grafting reconstruction procedures are sometimes the right choice for selected patients.
When a prosthetic implant is used for breast augmentation or reconstruction, flap procedures aren’t the best choice as often there is no enough soft tissue to harvest. In these cases, a graft reconstruction technique is often successful. A graft from the other side’s nipple is used and leads to good projection of the reconstructed nipple. This technique is rather easy to perform and can be accomplished successfully in the office. Grafting reconstruction yields excellent results, which are symmetrical to the other side, when performed by a skilful plastic surgeon. Nonetheless, grafting sometimes causes loss of the nipple sensation and erection. Skin grafts can be harvested from several body parts to be used in nipple construction. If the other side’s nipple is not suitable as a graft, most plastic surgeons use a graft from the inner side of the thigh. In rare instances, cartilage grafts are used to reconstruct a deformed nipple. Moreover, tattooing is used to improve the aesthetic appearance of the areola.
Dr. Jay Calvert is a plastic surgeon Los Angeles board certified who specializes in cosmetic and aesthetic plastic procedures. He is an expert of nipple reconstruction techniques. Dr. Calvert will decide the best nipple reconstruction strategy to give you attractive nipples. He chooses the most convenient reconstruction procedure that would fit the condition of the patient, but yet fulfill how she wants to look like. Moreover, Dr. Calvert utilizes the endoscope to efficiently perform breast augmentation and nipple/areola complex reconstruction. If you are thinking about having a breast augmentation procedure or an aesthetic nipple make over, don’t hesitate to contact Dr. Calvert’s medical office and schedule a consultation appointment and you’ll sure never regret it.

Vitamin C Serum – Numerous Anti-aging Effects


Although many anti-aging products’ ingredients are available on today’s market, few have proven efficacy in skin rejuvenation. Products with natural ingredients have gained attention lately due to the proven anti-aging effects of some naturally occurring elements as vitamins and trace elements. Vitamin C has been proven lately to have numerous skin rejuvenating effects.
Vitamin C is an essential water soluble antioxidant vitamin that aids in synthesis of skin collagen as well as protecting the skin against the hazardous effects of sun light. The body stores of vitamin C markedly decrease with age, and unhealthy habits, especially smoking, decrease the body reservoir even more. Vitamin C is not synthesized inside the body and must be ingested either through the diet, or through oral vitamin supplementations. Also, for vitamin C to produce its anti-aging skin effects, it must be applied topically. The effect of Vitamin C in protecting the skin against the harmful effect of sun rays has been proved by the marked reduction of the vitamin in the skin cells after exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Moreover, a combination of both vitamins C and E work together to enhance their protective effects against sun related aging effects.
Collagen synthesis can markedly affect the signs of aging of the skin. Vitamin C is an essential factor that is indispensible to form healthy collagen fibers. Vitamin C stimulates skin collagen synthesis which has many anti-aging effects that include reducing wrinkles and firming the skin of the face which aids in whole face rejuvenation.
Skin aging is associated with increased pigment deposition in the skin of the face which can lead to darkening of some areas. Vitamin C, when applied topically to the skin, can reduce aging related pigmentation which has encouraged many manufacturers to include it in various skin lightening products.
Several forms of vitamin C preparations have been used in numerous anti-aging topical products in efforts to maximize delivery of this vitamin to the skin. However, most studies have shown that Vitamin C containing topical skin serums have proven to maximize delivery of the vitamin to the cells of the skin. Moreover, some studies have shown that topical skin serums can allow Vitamin C to remain in the cells for days after application which maximizes the anti-aging effects and the stimulation of collagen synthesis.
Dr. Jay Calvert has formulated a unique anti-aging topical protein serum. The Vitamin C Serum contains about 10% of its content as Vitamin C. Moreover, the Vitamin C Serum contains a selection of vitamins, proteins as well as a blend of 6 seaweeds that have been reported to have marvelous skin anti-aging effects. The Vitamin C is in the form of a controlled release preparation which allows the vitamin to remain in the skin cells for days after application. The serum is an ideal skin rejuvenating product. Dr. Calvert uses the serum to encourage wound healing, remove aging pigmentation and reduce redness and other signs of aging. Dr. Calvert recommends the Vitamin C Serum to be your all time anti-aging formula.

Facial Dermal Fillers – Why Are The People Crazy About Them?


The field of aesthetic soft tissue augmentation has a long successful history. Soft tissue augmentation dates back more than 100 years ago, when an early German plastic surgeon published a report on adipose grafts transplanted for reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the face. Hence, fat grafts were the oldest facial dermal fillers used for soft tissue augmentation. Over the past 100 years, many implantable materials and devices have been attempted to cosmetically improve soft tissue defects and deficiencies in the face. Facial dermal fillers are becoming more important as an increasing proportion of people seek aesthetic improvement using minimally invasive procedures.
As a result of aging, smoking, sun, and force of gravity the elastic collagen fibers of the skin are lost; hence, wrinkles appear. Aging related changes of the lower face include atrophy of both the upper and lower lips and negative changes of the corners of the mouth which leads to the aged appearance of a “downturned mouth”. Professional minor improvements in the lips and the surrounding lower facial structures can produce pronounced rejuvenating effects. Facial dermal fillers can be used in rebuilding the area around the mouth which aids in regaining a more youthful, rested visage. Facial dermal fillers are also useful in treating prominence of the naso-labial folds which is an early facial sign of aging.
Why are the public highly interested in facial dermal fillers? One main reason is the advent of Botox®. Botox® has been shown to cause incredible anti-aging effects on upper facial structures. The successful anti-aging effects of the upper face, using Botox injections, have urged the need for procedures that are efficient in lower face rejuvenation. Another reason for the facial dermal fillers’ frenzy is the availability of novel filler technologies. When Botox injections are performed in the upper face in conjunction with facial dermal fillers in the lower face, unmatched results can be achieved in ameliorating the effects of aging and offering a more youthful and rejuvenated facial appearance.
Most people now believe that a beautiful face has a full three dimensional look that has prominences and depressions that are symmetrical in every single dimension. This concept renders soft tissue augmentation, especially facial dermal fillers, a magnet that is continuously attracting people who are eager to look better. Aesthetic lip enhancement is continuously attracting both young and older individuals. Actually, it is the most commonly sought facial dermal filler aesthetic procedure. The feasibility and simplicity of facial soft tissue augmentation procedures is another important factor that led to the publicity of facial fillers.
Dr. Jay Calvert is a cosmetic surgeon Los Angeles expert who has been using facial dermal fillers for soft tissue augmentation for many years. He uses the best FDA approved facial fillers. Dr. Calvert uses those dermal fillers to fill out and plump up the jowls of the face, fill facial depressions such as scars and acne, fill irregular facial depressions resulting from loss of fat or other tissues and augment the jaw to deliver a more sculpted appearance.

A Simple Introduction To Facial Skeletal Augmentation Procedures


The shape of the bones of the face is a crucial determinant of the facial appearance of an individual. The marked advancement of plastic surgical techniques along with the availability of novel facial implant technologies has contributed to the current success of facial augmentation implantation techniques. Facial skeletal augmentation is often done using synthetic implants. Implants are necessary to restore facial symmetry during reconstruction of deformities related to traumatic causes. Moreover, facial augmentation with implants is performed electively to improve facial aesthetic appearance.

The plastic surgeon’s thorough evaluation and physical examination is a major factor that would guarantee the success of facial implantation procedures.  Physical examination is the most important preoperative task to be done by the plastic surgeon. Studying life-size multiple view X-rays of the face is pivotal during discussing aesthetic goals and concerns. Although X-ray analysis can be helpful in planning the right facial augmentation procedure, the size, type and position of the facial implant are largely determined by the experience and artistic judgment of the plastic surgeon.

Some books refer to the ideal aesthetic proportions of different facial structures. These proportions shouldn’t be accurately followed, because they are determined arbitrarily. When the dimensions of faces of normal men and women were carefully evaluated and compared to aesthetic ideals, it was shown that some theoretic proportions are not ideal for some individuals. Moreover, the concept of beauty differs and is subjected to personal preferences. When planning facial skeletal implant augmentation, it is essential to realize that minimal increases in facial structural projections can have a profound impact on aesthetic facial appearance.


Technically speaking, almost all facial skeletal augmentation procedures are performed using synthetic implants. The use of the proper synthetic implant avoids complications and markedly simplifies facial augmentation procedure, in terms of technical complexity and time. Facial implants should be synthesized from a material that is biocompatible; that is, it won’t cause a harmful reaction between the implant and the body. Furthermore, the material of the implant shouldn’t be affected by enzymes and other substances in the body of the patient, so that it can attain its size and shape.

Facial implants are made from many synthetic materials. The most commonly used facial implants are most commonly made from poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene, solid silicone and porous polyethylene. The material of the implant is highly tailored to match every case’s condition. The experience of the plastic surgeon is crucial in determining the right synthetic implant to guarantee the success of a facial augmentation procedure. History of previous allergies to specific synthetic materials should be carefully investigated, because if ignored, can cause complete failure of the procedure.

Dr. Jay Calvert is Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who   specializes in facial skeletal augmentation techniques. If you are thinking about doing a facial augmentation procedure, don’t hesitate to pay a visit to Dr. Calvert to get the best facial augmentation consultation. By carefully evaluating the dimensions and proportions of structures of your face, he will accurately determine the right implant and surgical technique that would yield the aesthetic results you are dreaming of.

Blow Away All Your Cellulite!


Cellulite is an irritating problem that affects almost every woman after puberty, irrespective of her age. As a woman grows older, this condition worsens and can lead to cosmetic changes that can be the cause of psycho-social distress. 

Cellulite subcutaneous deposits can lead to a dimpling appearance of the skin. In most cases, the cellulite induced skin dimples are sparse and of small size; however, occasionally, the dimples are numerous and located deep under the skin. Skin with multiple cellulite induced dimples sometimes attains a, so called “cottage cheese” appearance. The dimples alter the appearance of certain skin regions. Moreover, cellulite induced subcutaneous dimples can negatively affect the texture of the skin and the overall body contour. Cellulite is usually located on the thighs, hips, and the inner parts of the knees, arms and shoulders. Uncommonly, cellulite affects the breasts and the abdominal wall (belly).

What really causes cellulite is still poorly understood. Many factors come into play and contribute to the formation of cellulite. Genetic, endocrinal, postural, environmental and age related factors act together and induce the formation of cellulite. Numerous methods are marketed nowadays for the treatment of cellulite, such as topical lotions and creams, radiofrequency procedures and lasers; however, most of these therapeutic modalities are not completely effective. The most efficient treatment options for cellulite are radiofrequency technologies that can increase flow through the vascular and lymphatic vessels.
One of those successful treatment modalities is the ACCENT™ which is approved by the FDA. The machine uses the most recent radiofrequency technologies to treat cellulite induced cosmetic problems. Although the technique is not invasive and uses non-ablative methods, it has proven to be the most successful cellulite treatment.

Unlike any other machine on the market today, the ACCENT™ utilizes both uni-polar and bi-polar radiofrequency technologies.   This feature allows the physician to attack cellulite at 2 different depth levels; hence, a perfect outcome is guaranteed.  A radiofrequency probe is targeted to induce deep heating to help separate bundles of cellulite from the subcutaneous tissue which aids in triggering new collagen fiber formation and remodeling of the skin. The other radiofrequency probe is focused on improving the blood circulation to regions that are rich in blood and lymphatic vessels; thus, favoring drainage of fat and its toxins (cellulite).  The dual frequency technology operates to shrink the size of fat cells which helps improving the overall body contour.

Dr. Jay Calvert is a skilled Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. He practices mostly in Los Angeles. Dr. Calvert specializes in aesthetic plastic procedures such as rhinoplasty, face lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck and liposuction procedures. At the RoxSpa, Beverley Hills, Dr. Calvert utilizes the ACCENT™ to treat cellulite problems.

Dr. Calvert is one surgeon that does not take the subject of plastic surgery lightly. He puts a great emphasis on the pre op and plans everything step by step from seeing a doctor to getting EKG’s and lab work done. Everything on the pre op list must be done before the doctor will perform the procedure.

As far as the actual procedure, Calvert makes the patient feel comfortable and safe. He lets the patient know exactly what is going to be done and keeps the patient in the loop.

Post procedure care is also taken seriously as the patient is seen by the doctor twice a week for the first five weeks right after the operation. If the patient has any questions regarding the procedure, Dr. Calvert is available to them, whether it be on the phone or in person. One of his patient’s states, “Dr. Calvert was just on top of it all the time,” referring to his post op patient care.

When deciding to undergo any type of plastic surgery, a skilled surgeon with an extensive background and good patient feedback should be chosen. He uses his artistic ability and expertise to perform his procedures and lets the patient know exactly what they can expect to acheive.

Breast Augmentation – A Review Of Legal Issues

No single procedure in plastic surgery has been the subject of greater controversy and scrutiny, both scientific and political, than breast augmentation. More than 2.5 million American women, or about 1.5% of the adult female population, have breast implants. Breast augmentation is the second most commonly performed aesthetic surgical procedure in America, following liposuction. In 2004, more than 260 thousand women in America underwent breast augmentation procedures. The yearly number of performed breast augmentation procedures has exponentially grown, increasing more than 7 times between the years 1992 and 2005. Women between the ages of 20 and 35 years old are the largest consumers of cosmetic breast implants as they have shown to consume more than half of the breast implants available on the market.

Few surgical procedures have gained greater focus from the federal government than breast augmentation. Over the past few, the FDA hearings, with regards to the approval of silicone and saline filled breast implants, have attracted public attention. In 1976, the US government introduced the Federal Safe Devices Act, which empowered the FDA to regulate the approval of medical devices. As breast implants were developed before the year 1976, they were not subjected to formal FDA approval. Nonetheless, in the 80s of the last century, when a woman was discovered to have an immune disorder that was linked to her breast implant, the federal government started to question the safety of various breast implants.

Complications such as malignant tumors, immune mediated diseases, implant failure, and abnormal breast imaging findings evaluation has urged the FDA to ban the use of silicone implants in the USA. At this point, saline implants were available without any restriction, and were officially approved by the FDA in the year 2000. However, silicone gel-filled breast implants were approved to be used in clinical research involving reconstruction of the breast after tumor excision.

Failure of breast augmentation and its consequent complications are yielding hundreds of law suits each year. Although most of these law suits have been focused on more extensive complications that are associated with breast augmentation such as induction of fibrosis or eliciting of autoimmune disorders, a considerable proportion of law suits are initiated in response to aesthetic and cosmetic problems. Usually, the patient has high expectation of the procedure that sometimes isn’t fulfilled by breast augmentation. Apparent scars, abnormally shaped breast implants and rupture of the implants are occasional causes of breast augmentation related law suits.

Dr. Jay Calvert is a plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic and aesthetic plastic procedures. He is an expert of breast augmentation techniques. Dr. Calvert will decide which breast augmentation surgical technique would be the best for each patient.

Dr. Jay Calvert explains the risks of out of country plastic surgery

With the economy in its current state of recession, more and more people are turning to other countries to have their Plastic surgery done. Some procedures can be successful at a fraction of the price that it would cost here at the U.S., however, it is not without its risks. Dr. Jay Calvert, a board certified plastic surgeon in the Los Angeles area, talks about some of the dangers of getting plastic surgery in another country.

Choosing the right plastic surgeon is of the utmost importance when one considers altering their body permanently. Just recently, Dr. Jay Calvert was invited, as a guest, to speak with a woman that was planning to get two procedures done in Tijuana, Mexico. They had a brief discussion in terms of what the patient wanted and what her expectations were. Dr. Calvert also spoke with her about the doctor’s qualifications and whether she spoke to him personally and learned about his surgical background.

The answers given to the doctor raised some concerns, therefore prompting him to attempt to change her mind about an out of country procedure. The surgery desired could be done in Mexico for half of the price of that in Los Angeles, however, if there were any complications post surgery, the patient would be left out in the cold. Dr. Calvert then stated that if the procedure were to be done at his facility, the pre and post op care would be above and beyond the standard. The patient was assured that any complications, if any, would be dealt with.

Despite all the risks associated with having a procedure outside the United States, the patient still opted to go forth with the procedure in Mexico. Dr. Calvert is optimistic that her procedure goes without any hitches.

When deciding to have plastic surgery, only a surgeon with proper qualifications and a reputable background should be considered. Dr. Jay Calvert is a certified cosmetic surgeon with much experience and an extensive track record. To learn more visit: http://www.jaycalvertmd.com.

Botox Injections – How Do They Work?

Injection of (Botulinum Toxin) Botox® is by far the most commonly performed aesthetic procedure in America nowadays. Botulinum toxin was first used by ophthalmologists as a treatment for squint; however, within less than a decade, its use was shifted to cosmetic rejuvenating procedures. Although Botox® is now used as an anti-wrinkling therapeutic module, the mechanism of its action is poorly understood which renders some physicians reluctant to use it. However, Botox is a drug of high therapeutic index; the incidence of occurrence of undesired complications and side effects is rather low. The paradox can be easily illustrated by the steady increasing rates of successful Botox treatments across America.

So how does Botox induce its anti-wrinkling effects? Botulinum Toxin is a toxin that is produced by a bacterial pathogen that causes food poisoning. Botulinum Toxin food poisoning often occurs after ingestion of improperly stored canned meat. The poisoning leads to neurological paralysis of the voluntary muscles of the body which can evolve into a life threatening condition. Botox® is artificial Botulinum Toxin, so when it is injected locally, it leads to paralysis of selective groups of muscles of the face. In other words, the Botulinum Toxin does not directly affect the wrinkled skin. Alternatively, the muscle, which contracts excessively and produces wrinkles, is paralyzed. Accurately speaking, the toxin blocks transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle; hence, the wrinkling disappears.

The paralyzing effect of Botox®, on the facial muscles, aids in rejuvenation of the face and decreases wrinkles. The positive rejuvenating effects of Botox can be completely maintained for more than 6 months. However, if Botox® injections are performed by a non-skillful plastic surgeon, the whole effects can be completely lost in less than a couple of months. Moreover, recent studies have shown that people, who receive Botox® injections regularly over a period of more than 2 years, preserve the anti-wrinkling effects of Botox® for longer durations

The outcome of Botox® injection is largely determined by the skill of the plastic surgeon. Proficient understanding of the functional anatomy of the face yields the most favorable results. Although the anatomy of the face has been extensively studied, no single textbook can describe all the variations between the facial muscles of different individuals. A successful plastic surgeon has the expert technical eye to analyze the face of the patient and determine specific muscle groups that produce wrinkles and unaesthetic appearances. Those muscles should be the targets for Botox® injections. If the plastic surgeon selects the right targets, most probably the procedure will be successful.


Dr. Jay Calvert is a proficient Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has been performing Botox injections for many years. He practices in California, Beverly Hills and Orange County, California. Dr. Calvert uses Botox® injections effectively as a face rejuvenating therapeutic module. Laugh lines, frown lines and worry lines would completely vanish after a successful Botox® injection session. Moreover, Dr. Calvert uses Botox® injections to successfully treat over sweating of the hands and feet (hyperhydrosis). Don’t hesitate to call Dr. Calvert office to take an appointment for a Botox® injection consultation.

Medical Spas – A New Role In The World Of Aesthetics

Medical spas have been contributing to a large proportion of the aesthetic health services offered to individuals in the modern world. A medical spa is rather different from a traditional spa in numerous aspects. At a medical spa, individuals enjoy treatment modalities that bear real medical value and long-lasting aesthetic effects. Cosmetic surgeon, Los Angeles experts train aestheticians, who under supervision, may use medical devices to perform some aesthetic procedures.

A medical spa offers many procedures that have many long-lasting aesthetic benefits. Top notch medical spas offer photo facials, skin tightening laser treatments, pixel treatments, enzyme peeling sessions and modern anti-cellulite treatments.

In a modern medical spa you can get a photo facial. A photo facial is a combination of multiple laser technologies’ treatment that rejuvenates damaged skin especially areas with age and sun spots. The procedure is also beneficial for areas with uneven pigmentation due to unbalanced distribution of melanin. After a photo facial session, you would feel that your skin is soft and smooth.
Nowadays, many medical spas offer skin tightening laser sessions. This procedure utilizes pulsed laser to rejuvenate the skin and make it look younger. The laser heats the deeper layer of the skin which leads to a firmer skin that is less wrinkled and looks very much younger.

Medical spas offer other types of laser treatments. A pixel treatment is a special type of face rejuvenating laser that has been proven to be safe on all types of skin. The pixel technology utilizes a special CO2 laser to treat wrinkled and photo-damaged skin. The new technology delivers efficient skin resurfacing that is completely painless and requires far less time than other conventional laser technologies. As the laser strikes the targeted skin area, it peels the outer damaged skin layers. Moreover, the heat of the laser beam stimulates the production of new healthy collagen fibers and cells in the deep layers of the skin to replace the damaged skin layers.  The pixel treatment has proven that it can lead to a firmer more youthful and less wrinkled skin.

Medical spas also offer enzyme peeling sessions. Enzyme peels have been long known to resurface and rejuvenate the skin. Under the supervision of plastic surgeons and dermatologists, aestheticians apply a special chemical solution to the skin to peel the outer damaged layers of the skin which allows the skin to look clearer, younger and tighter.

Indications and Goals Of Otoplasty Procedures

Otoplasty is an aesthetic surgical procedure that refers to reconstruction of a deformed ear. Deformed ears refer to ears that, regardless of size, are “sticking out” enough to appear abnormal. The normal external ear is separated by no more than 2 cm from, and forms an angle of about 26 degrees with, the side of the head. Beyond these approximate normal limits, the ear looks prominent when looked at from either the back or the front.

Although most prominent ears are otherwise normal in shape, some prominent ears have additional deformities. The term macrotia refers to markedly large ears that, besides being large, are “prominent.” Constricted ears are abnormally small but tend to appear “prominent” because the circumference of the upper arch of the ear is small, causing the external ear to cup forward.  Cryptotia denotes the external ear in which the upper pole of the helix is buried beneath the skin. Question mark ear is another deformity that denotes loss of the part of the external ear that is above soft lower pole which leads to the “question mark” like appearance.

The goal of an otoplasty procedure is to set back the shape of the ear in such a way that its contours appear natural and soft; the setback should be harmonious with no apparent evidence of surgical intervention.

When looked at from various angles, the surgically corrected ear should bear the following characteristics:
1. Appearance from the front. When viewed from the front the upper curvature of the ear should be visible, not set back so far that it is hidden behind other structures of the external ear.

2. Appearance from the back. When viewed from behind, the rim of the upper curvature of the external ear should be straight, not curved like a letter C or a hockey stick. If this is accomplished, the otoplasty will be harmonious; that is, the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the ear will be setback in correct proportions to each other. If, for example, the middle third of the ear is set back too much with respect to the upper and lower thirds, the upper curvature of the ear will form a “C” shape when seen from behind, creating what plastic surgeons call a  “telephone deformity”.

3. Appearance from the sides. The contours of the ear should be natural and soft. If otoplasty yields sharp contours of the ear, it is unaesthetic and inconvenient.

The success in achieving the goals of an otoplasty procedure is highly determined by the detailed evaluation of the anatomical structure of the ear. Moreover, the outcome of the procedure is highly affected by the aesthetic view and the artistic judgment of the plastic surgeon.
