The result? Subtle and lasting improvements in fine lines and wrinkles, a more youthful quality and texture to the skin, with minimal down time. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Prolotherapy (injections), is a method of injection designed to stimulate healing. “Platelet rich plasma” is defined as “a patient’s own blood with concentrations of platelets above baseline levels, which contains at least seven growth factors.” Platelets contain a number of proteins, cytokines and other bioactive factors that initiate and regulate basic aspects of natural wound healing. Activated platelets “signal” to distant repair cells, including adult stem cells, to come to the injury site. Translation: You could compare injections alone and injections with PRP this way: Prolotherapy is like planting seeds in a garden; PRP Prolotherapy is planting seeds with fertilizer. Therefore, if injectable fillers or fat are injected into an area, the effects last longer and look better. Come in for a consultation to determine whether you are a candidate for The PRP facial.” Call the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group at (310) 275-6600 today!

]]> A Face Lift During Your Lunch Break? The Liquid Face Lift! https://www.beverlyhillsplasticsurgerygroup.com/a-face-lift-during-your-lunch-break-the-liquid-face-lift/ Thu, 24 Jan 2013 17:45:52 +0000 https://www.beverlyhillsplasticsurgerygroup.com/blog/?p=1444 One of the many things people start to dread as we get older are the formation of new lines, wrinkles and sagging skin that used to be tight and full before. While a face lift is always an option for those ready to spend the money and have the time take time off work in order to recover, there are options available that provide facial contouring without going under the knife and you can go back to work the same day! The liquid face lift is a facial contouring procedure that involves lifting, plumping, filling, smoothing and re-contouring of the face through the use of injectable dermal fillers. As part of the overall procedure, these dermal fillers are often used in conjunction with each other and in addition to Botox or Dysport. The use of Botox or Dysport in addition to dermal fillers can make for better and more long lasting results. A liquid face lift includes the dermal fillers. JUVEDERM®, Radiesse®, Restylane®, Perlane® and/or Sculptra®. Together these fillers can gently lift the individual facial features, reduce wrinkles, creases, line or folds, restore natural facial contours, and give you a more rested and energetic look. While some patients may be looking to lift their entire face, the liquid face lift is also an option for someone who just wants to focus on a certain facial features. For example, under eye bags and dark circles can be masked by using liquid facelift techniques; eyes can be opened up and lids lifted; jowls can be lifted and diminished; natural shape can be restored to flattened cheeks or temple areas; corners of the mouth can be lifted; and bumps on the nose can be hidden. Each of these dermal fillers has unique attributes that work in their own special way to rejuvenate specific areas of the face and most are comprised of natural substances produced by the body, helping to promote new collagen. The last of the fillers is Sculptra, which is generally used as a treatment for facial lipoatrophy, the loss of fat beneath the skin that sometimes causes sunken cheeks, indentations, and hollow eyes. Unlike the other dermal fillers, Sculptra does not produce immediate results. It works by stimulating collagen production, so results appear gradually over a period of a few months. Three to five treatments are usually required, and results can last up to two years or more. The greatest benefit of the liquid face lift? It can be done on your lunch break and with the help of a little cover up, you can go back to work with no one the wiser! Interested in a lunchtime liquid face lift? Give us a call today to schedule your consultation! Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery (310) 275-6600

SKIN The skin loses its elasticity and collagen, thereby developing wrinkles. In addition, there also may be an increase in the number, size, and color of pigmented spots on the face, which is largely due to sun exposure. MUSCLE Muscle tone may be lost, causing a flabby or droopy appearance. Around the eyes, the loss of muscle tone leads to more visible conjunctiva, or the pink, inner surface of the lower eyelids. In addition, because your facial muscles have been contracting and making thousands of expressions daily, deeper wrinkles develop. Upper eyelids tend to droop, often obstructing vision, especially peripheral vision. FAT There are several deeper fat compartments of the face; not the kind of fat that makes the face appear round, but DEEP compartments that give the face youth. These are typically located in the midface, around the nose and cheekbones, as well as surrounding the eyes. BONE Loss of teeth can make the lips look shrunken. The area in the midface, especially at the base of the nose loses bone, causing “laugh lines” to look more prominent. The jawbone loses bone material, reducing the size of the lower face. The forehead, nose, and mouth thus look more pronounced.   THERE IS HOPE! Over the past decade, we have correctly learned how the face ages. Long gone are the days where the “windblown” appearance after a facelift is deemed acceptable. Now, a full facelift is done through smaller incisions, fat compartments are refilled to their youthful state, aging skin is resurfaced with state-of-the-art lasers, and muscle laxity is tightened to give the appearance of energized youth! If you are considering facial rejuvenation, please contact us at the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group for a consultation, and achieve a natural, more youthful appearance!

]]> What a Difference a CHIN makes! https://www.beverlyhillsplasticsurgerygroup.com/what-a-difference-a-chin-makes/ Wed, 24 Aug 2011 19:40:43 +0000 https://www.beverlyhillsplasticsurgerygroup.com/blog/?p=180 What is Chin Surgery? Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Many times Dr. Layke or Dr. Danielpour may recommend chin surgery to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve facial proportion, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group, we feel that chin surgery may help provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look. Enhancing your appearance with facial implants The appearance of your face is determined by three basic components: skin, soft tissues and underlying facial bones. If the structure of your face is disproportionate — the chin is recessed, the jaw undefined or cheeks are flat — it can significantly affect your self image. At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group, we believe that refined facial features, visible contours and natural angles that are proportionate all create structural balance in your face and a more attractive appearance. If you are bothered by a small chin, weak jaw or lack of facial contour, plastic surgery with facial implants may benefit you. While any area of your face can be augmented with implants, the cheekbones, chin and jaw are the most common sites for facial implants. Facial implants bring balance and better proportion to the structural appearance of your face. They define your face by increasing projection and creating more distinct features. Is it right for me? Plastic surgery with facial implants is best performed on people whose head and skull have reached physical maturity, which generally occurs in late adolescence. This procedure is a good option for you if: • You are physically healthy • You do not smoke • You have a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for improvement of facial contours Contact us at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group today for a consultation at (310) 275-6600!
