Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon Providing Facelift and Brow lift

May 22, 2010- Dr. Jay Calvert is a plastic cosmetic surgeon operating from his offices and facilities based in Beverly Hills, Orange County, and Newport California. Besides, his physical locations the doctor operates from www.jaycalvertmd.com. Two types of surgery that Dr. Calvert specializes in are facelift and brow lift.

One process that makes Dr. Calvert facelift and brow lifts occur smoothly is the use of endoscope plastic surgery. Dr. Calvert has been using endoscope since 1993. 

People choose face lifts to correct any abnormalities or disfigurations of the face. Brow lifts are used to correct stress lines in the face and reduce the look of aging.

Dr. Calvert and other surgeons prefer the endoscope procedure because, “incisions can be minimized, visualizations improved, and results maximized through the use of endoscope”    

Endoscope involves fewer cuts than conventional face lifts about three or so. Once the incisions are made surgeons can monitor the surgery through a wand like device equipped with a camera that is inserted slightly below the surface of the skin.

Endoscope results in less scar tissue than traditional face lift surgery, it is more convenient alternate, involves fewer risks, shorter recovery time and it is less expensive.

California Plastic Surgeon Becoming Top Choice for Revision Surgery

With the number of people turning to plastic surgery, and in particular rhinoplasty, to improve their looks and their self-esteem rising each year, the number of people who are ultimately unsatisfied with their procedure is no doubt rising as well.

According to a survey by a national plastic surgery association, approximately 15 percent of people who undergo rhinoplasty opt to undergo revision rhinoplasty, either because of necessity or person preference. That statistic doesn’t take into account the many other patients who are unsatisfied but are reluctant to undergo the procedure a second time.

But one California plastic surgeon, thanks to his extensive experience, has become the go-to professional for revision rhinoplasty, so much so that other plastic surgeons have begun referring their patients to him for revision surgery themselves.

Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS, brings an intensive approach to a delicate area of plastic surgery, that of performing additional work on an area of the patient that has often been previously attended to by another physician while also re-instilling confidence in the procedure in a patient that may be wary of undergoing the operation again.

“Revision of a previous rhinoplasty operation is a technically exacting endeavor,” explains Dr. Calvert, who has provided expert plastic surgery insight on such television talk shows as The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Tyra Banks Show. “Additionally, it takes a compassionate surgeon to understand your concerns and to answer your questions when it comes to having your nasal operation revised.”

Dr. Calvert applies the same techniques to revision rhinoplasty as he applies to the many primary rhinoplasty operations he performs as well. Using his skill as an artist and surgeon, Dr. Calvert meticulously shapes the nose to fit the face of the individual.

“No two faces are exactly alike,” Dr. Calvert explains, “so I take the entire facial presentation into account when evaluating rhinoplasty patients and establishing a treatment plan with each patient.”

The procedure involves several complex techniques, Dr. Calvert said, and sometimes employs the use of rib cartilage grafts, ear cartilage grafts, septum and fascia (a thin tissue membrane). Through these procedures, Dr. Calvert rebuilds noses that have been damaged by trauma or are unsatisfactory to the patient following the original procedure. So adept is Dr. Calvert at rebuilding noses that are aesthetically pleasing and functional that he has become one of the leading practitioners in this area.

But beyond his skills as a plastic surgeon, Dr. Calvert is lauded by fellow surgeons and patients alike for his compassionate approach to patient care.

“Every person has their own vision of beauty,” Dr. Calvert states. “My goal is to develop a treatment plan designed to help each individual achieve their aesthetic goals safely and effectively.”

Dr. Calvert is a board-certified member of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and serves the Beverly Hills, Orange County and Los Angeles area. He has published numerous peer-reviewed articles on plastic surgery and has presented his techniques at national and international conferences.

Surgeon: Men Becoming More at East with Plastic Surgery

Perhaps due to reluctance of being considered vain or self-centered, men have, for the most part, shied away from undergoing plastic surgery over the years.

While they might go so far as to wear special undergarments to squeeze their body in to a more “fit” appearance, dye their hair or even wear a “wig” (aka toupee), actually seeking the aid of a surgeon to make corrections to areas on their body they consider physically inadequate was pretty much out of the question.

But all that has changed. Men are increasingly seeking out plastic surgeons for cosmetic procedures that go from head (rhinoplasty, face lifts, eyelid tucks) to toe (calf inserts, laser hair removal, chemical peels).

While this may be a relatively new phenomenon, it shouldn’t be an unexpected one, says noted plastic surgeon Dr. Jay Calvert, MD, FACS.

“Men are becoming more aware of the benefits of a more youthful and attractive appearance in the business and social world,” explained Dr. Calvert, whose expert advice on plastic surgery has earned him appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Tyra Banks Show. “My goal is to create a brighter, natural look so my patients appear as a younger version of themselves.”

A survey by a leading plastic surgery association found that 51 percent of men gave an overall approval of cosmetic surgery and 18 percent of men consider it a possibility in their lives at some point. In 2009, men undergoing some sort of cosmetic surgery procedure rose eight percent.

There isn’t one single procedure that men are seeking to have done either, Dr. Calvert points out. Men arriving at his offices in California are requesting a variety of procedures, including rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty, brow lifts, eyelid tucks, Botox injections and laser hair removal.

Facelifts, Dr. Calvert contends, are a particular area that can benefit man’s appearance greatly.

“Men often seek a facelift because they are concerned about droopiness in the face and neck area and/or heaviness in the jowl area,” Dr. Calvert explained.  “A good candidate for a facelift for men is any male in good physical and psychological health who wishes to enhance their physical appearance through cosmetic surgery. 

“A typical patient who seeks a facelift for men is between the ages of thirty and seventy.  Men are good candidates for a facelift because their skin is often thicker and less wrinkly than women’s skin.”

Many men are also taking advantage of the RoxSpa Aesthetics featured at Dr. Calvert’s Beverly Hills facilities, where they can choose from laser hair removal, facial rejuvenation and chemical peels to improve the skin, pixel laser skin resurfacing to remove acne scars or the patented “Accent Your Body” laser body contouring procedure.
