Sagging or drooping brows can age your appearance by several years, not to mention horizontal lines on the forehead and frown lines between the eyebrows. Treating the upper face can be challenging since dermal fillers aren’t typically used in this area, and neurotoxins can only treat certain types of wrinkles. What can you do to achieve a more youthful-looking appearance then? Dr. Bruce Kadz in Beverly Hills, CA knows that a brow lift can revitalize your appearance so you can achieve a more youthful aesthetic. What Is the Right Age for a Brow Lift? In general, because a brow lift is commonly used to treat age-related concerns, most people who use this procedure are between the ages of 40 and 65. By middle age, your skin will not produce enough collagen to maintain the structure, tone, or position of the skin. With less collagen in the sub-dermal layers of your skin, age-related concerns like fine lines and wrinkles begin to develop. On the upper face, these visible signs of aging also present as sagging brows. Drooping brows, sagging brows, and other signs of aging on the upper face can add several years to your overall appearance. People between the ages of 40 and 65 typically have moderate to severe signs of aging on the upper face that make them ideal candidates for this procedure. That said, some younger people (like people in their mid to late 30s) may also use this treatment to rewind the clock. What Can This Procedure Treat? Although this procedure is called a brow lift, it can address several other signs of visible aging. You can think of this procedure as a targeted facelift for the upper face. Virtually all visible signs of aging from skin laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes can be corrected with this procedure. The most common concerns that can be treated with this procedure include: Sagging brows Horizontal forehead wrinkles Frown lines or glabellar lines Drooping upper eyelids Excess skin on the upper face Crow’s feet Restore natural eyebrow arch This procedure is customized to your exact aesthetic needs. Because everyone ages at a different rate and because factors like your genetics or skin type will determine the severity of your visible aging, your cosmetic procedure must be tailored to your exact needs. Some people use this procedure to only correct the appearance of sagging eyebrows, while others use this procedure to correct a vast range of appearance concerns on the upper face. How Does This Procedure Work? Several techniques will be used to correct the appearance of your age-related concerns, including a coronal lift, endoscopic lift, and subcutaneous lift. The specific techniques used for your procedure will be determined by Dr. Kadz after he examines your face, particularly the muscle activity that occurs when you make facial expressions. Factors such as the position of your eyebrows, the amount of excess skin you have on your upper eyelid, and even the height of your hairline will also be used to determine which surgical technique will be used for your procedure. That said, a coronal lift is the most common and reliable technique, since it allows for the removal of excess skin and can lift your eyebrows to a better, more aesthetically pleasing position. How Should You Prepare for the Procedure? This procedure will likely involve the use of general anesthesia and some invasive surgical techniques, so you need to prepare for your treatment properly. The most important rule you will have will be to stop using any blood-thinning medications or supplements about a week before your procedure, unless otherwise instructed by your physician. You may be asked to adjust certain medications. You may also be instructed to temporarily stop smoking or using tobacco products. Do not drink 24 hours before your appointment. Additionally, you may need to complete certain labs and evaluations before your surgery to verify that you are healthy enough for the procedure. What Should You Do After the Procedure? Just like any other invasive plastic surgery technique, you will have extensive post-procedure instructions to follow during your recovery period. During the first few days after your procedure, you will be instructed to elevate your head while resting, take medications prescribed to you, and use cold compresses frequently. You should avoid exposing your incisions to pressure, motion, hot water, or steam. About 10 days after your procedure, any sutures will be removed from your surgical site; if sutures were not used to close your incisions, you will still need to attend a check-up appointment to assess your healing. We may give you additional instructions to help you get through your recovery period successfully. How Long Is Your Recovery? Your initial recovery time for this procedure will take 10 to 14 days. After you have seen Dr. Kadz for a check-up, you will likely be allowed to resume most normal daily activity around two weeks after your surgery. You may still have some restrictions, such as avoiding strenuous exercise or excessive sweating. But for the most part, you should expect your immediate recovery period to only last for two weeks. That said, you may need several more weeks before you are fully recovered. The rate of your recovery will depend on how quickly you heal and how invasive the techniques for your survey were. If an invasive technique was used, your recovery period will likely be a little longer. How Long Will Results Last? The results of this procedure will last for several years. Although this treatment can rewind the clock to help you look younger, it will not prevent the effects of future aging on your skin. In other words, the natural aging process will catch up with you eventually. For people who use this procedure when they are younger, the results of the surgery may last for more than 10 to 12 years. On average, most people should expect results that last for at least a decade. Can You Combine This Procedure? Yes, this procedure is frequently combined with other plastic surgery techniques. For example, your brow lift may also be combined with a facelift, a mid-facelift, or a skin tightening technique on other areas of the face and neck. Yoru surgery may also be combined with other aesthetic techniques, such as dermal fillers, neurotoxins, facials, and other treatments. If you would like to combine this procedure with others, please let us know during your consultation so we can help you plan a treatment timeline that will meet all of your aesthetic expectations. From non-surgical techniques to additional plastic surgery procedures, Dr. Kadz will help you look and feel your best. Who Are Good Candidates? Most people who have age-related concerns on the upper face may be eligible for this procedure. However, there are specific factors that must be met to qualify for this procedure, particularly because there are many people who will benefit from injectable treatments or alternate procedures. Aside from your age, some of the factors that are used to determine candidacy for this treatment include: Skin Condition The texture and suppleness of the skin around the eyes are thinner than the skin in other areas of the face. This may be why some people feel that the visible signs of aging show up on the upper face more quickly than in other areas. The condition of your skin is particularly important for this procedure. As you age, your skin will naturally lose volume and elasticity, which is what creates fine lines and wrinkles. For this procedure, your skin condition should be moderate to severe in terms of aging. Your Health Like many other invasive procedures, your overall health is also very important to qualify for this procedure. The best candidates are those who are in good current health, people who are not currently pregnant, and people who do not smoke or use tobacco products. Labs and examinations may be used to judge your health before you can schedule your procedure appointment. Revitalize Your Appearance With a Brow Lift If you’re looking for a procedure that can greatly improve your overall appearance by correcting visible signs of aging on the upper face, then a brow lift might be an ideal procedure for you. This procedure can be used to correct most age-related concerns on the upper face, including sagging eyebrows and drooping eyelids.

If you’re ready to firm, shape, and lift your butt, then a BBL, or Brazilian Buttocks Lift, can help. Here at Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, California, Dr. Bruce Kadz has the talent, artistry, and sheer skill it takes to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. For centuries, having a shapely figure and backside has been eponymous with glamour, sexiness, and beauty. Contact us today to learn more about the cosmetic surgery options we provide and schedule your initial consultation. What Does BBL Mean? A BBL, or Brazilian Butt Lift, is a butt augmentation procedure that uses your body’s own fat to create and shape your butt, so it looks lifted and perky. If you’ve been dieting and exercising to no end, and you’re still unhappy with the appearance of your backside, getting a Brazilian Butt Lift could be the solution you need. Not only will you have a gorgeous, shapely butt, you’ll also be able to have fat removed from another problem area on your body, making your shape look more defined and womanly. Essentially, you get two procedures done simultaneously, making it a convenient choice for many women. Dr. Kadz is an expert at performing Brazilian Butt Lifts and will use liposuction to remove fat from a different area of your body and then move it to your butt, creating more shape so you have a generous backside. The procedure itself is entirely safe and FDA-approved. What to Expect During Your Initial Consultation During your initial consultation, you can talk to our team and let us know where you would like to transfer fat from on your body. Then, we’ll discuss your general medical history and any questions or concerns you may have. It’s important to us that each of our patients gets the compassionate, high-quality treatment they deserve. That’s why each of our patients is given a customized treatment plan to help them achieve their unique body goals and individual needs. Butt Lift vs. Butt Implants So, you may be wondering what the difference is between a butt lift and a butt implant. An implant is just that: an external source that is placed into your body. A butt lift uses your body’s own natural fat to increase its shape. Usually, most of our patients prefer a butt lift since there’s little to no risk for an allergic reaction, which is sometimes a problem with implants. Also, this procedure comes with a double bonus: you get to lose fat from another area in your body! Plus, it’s considered the more natural option since it uses your body’s own tissue and fat instead of silicone or plastic. Natural Results There’s another great benefit to choosing a BBL: it provides natural results that will give your booty an authentic bounce, so it looks completely natural. In the hands of an inexperienced doctor, implants can look a little stiff or unnatural. That’s why many patients prefer a butt lift instead. In fact, most of our patients don’t even look like they’ve had work done at all. It’s the perfect solution to getting that bangin’ body you want without having to slave away in the gym for hours or suffering through a fad diet that doesn’t work. Dr. Kadz is an expert and has the talent it requires to make your body look gorgeous and youthful. Who Is a Suitable Candidate for This Treatment? If you’re unhappy with the shape or appearance of your butt, and you also want to take advantage of losing fat in another area of your body, then you’re an excellent candidate for a BBL. In fact, getting a Brazilian Butt Lift can help you finally attain those body aesthetics goals you’ve been dreaming about for so long. If you’re not sure whether you have enough fat to make this procedure a viable option, all you have to do is come into our office for a consultation. We’ll be happy to let you know if you’re a viable candidate and what you can expect to see for results from this procedure. Many of our patients who have received this procedure say that their butts now look fuller, bigger, and less saggy. However, we’ll be able to customize and create the shape to your exact liking. Customized Treatment Plan Each of our patients has a different body and different goals, so each butt lift procedure is different. We’ll create a customized treatment plan for you to help you achieve your unique treatment goals. There’s no one-size-fits-all procedure when it comes to a butt lift, so every person that walks into our office receives a custom treatment plan that’s just as unique as they are. Preparing for Your Procedure It’s important to follow correct preparation prior to your treatment. The first step is to be fully aware of exactly what your results will look like. Our team, led by Dr. Kadz, will give you a comprehensive overview of exactly what to expect about your new shape. It’s also crucial for you to cut back or ideally quit smoking for a few weeks before your treatment.   You should also be getting good rest and drinking lots of water, so your body stays hydrated. Another necessary preparation is taking lots of vitamins and nutrients and eating a healthy, balanced diet. It will all help speed up your recovery, so you’ll be back to feeling like yourself soon enough. If you work out already, you can work out up until your surgery to help keep your stress levels down and your blood pumping. What Can I Do to Maximize My Results? All of our patients want to keep their results lasting as long as possible. To do this, we recommend a few different lifestyle changes you can make to maintain your results for longer. Don’t fret, though, because most of these lifestyle changes will benefit your life, so it’s essential to follow them after your surgery to keep your body looking tight and beautiful, and your booty looking shapely and trim. Quit Smoking We mentioned this before, but it’s important that you quit smoking. It will age you prematurely, and it’s very bad for your heart and circulatory system as well. You need to have plenty of oxygen pumping through your body to help you recover faster, and smoking will deplete your oxygen levels. If you need to, find a support group to help you cut back, or in an ideal world, quit altogether. Stay Hydrated It’s also crucial to drink a ton of water so you can stay hydrated before your BBL. It helps your body function correctly and can speed up your recovery time. You should try and drink at least eight glasses of water every day—and no, we don’t mean soda: just water. If you don’t like the taste of plain water, throw in an additive like lemon or cucumber or try a no-sugar squeeze flavoring or powder to change the flavor. Eat a Balanced Diet You should also eat a healthy, balanced diet to keep your results looking trim and tight. It helps you heal faster and allows you to maintain your desired weight after your procedure. Eat foods with little to no processing, and look for snacks with good fats like fish or avocado. You can also eat plant-based foods, and of course, reduce your sugar intake as well. Exercise Regularly Another important lifestyle change to help you maintain your results is exercising regularly. Regular exercise will help you keep your body goals where you want them, build your muscles, and keep your weight down. Build your core and your lower body, and try squats to keep your booty looking tight. Anytime you strength train your legs and glutes, you’re going to love the results. Try to get at least half an hour of good cardio or strength training every day. Get a Gorgeous, Full Booty If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your booty, or it doesn’t look as perky as it used to, we can help. Getting a BBL, or Brazilian Butt Lift is the solution you need to attain that womanly, trim figure with a big booty that you’ve always admired. Here at Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, our aesthetics experts will help you attain your beauty and figure goals with the help of a butt lift. Contact us today to schedule your initial consultation.

Do you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your abdominal region? If so, you’re not alone. However, you don’t have to choose your outfits based on how well they hide your stomach. You can get a tummy tuck at the office of Dr. Bruce Kadz in Beverly Hills, CA. Today, we’re taking a closer look at this procedure, including whether it is worth it. Is a Tummy Tuck Worth It?  Yes, a tummy tuck is absolutely worth it. In just three months, you will be pleased by the appearance of your abdomen. By six months post-op, you will be astonished by how flat your stomach looks and wonder why you didn’t get this procedure sooner. Even better, if you maintain a healthy lifestyle, there is a very high probability that you will maintain your ideal results for the rest of your life. However, there is a small chance that you will need a follow-up procedure in the future if you become pregnant in the future. A Great Choice to Get Back Your Ideal Body If you had your ideal body when you were younger and lost it due to pregnancy, an illness, or an injury. For example, people experience extreme changes in their abdominal region after a ventral hernia or massive weight loss. A tummy tuck is worth it because it can be used to eliminate a small amount of excess fat, eliminate a great deal of excess skin, and tighten and repair loose or torn abdominal muscles. This results in a flat, tight, beautiful stomach. Ideal Candidates for This Procedure You may be an ideal candidate for this procedure if you are in fairly good health and concerned about the appearance of your abdominal region. However, you may not be completely satisfied with the results of your procedure if you have a great deal of excess abdominal fat. A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is only designed to remove a small amount of fat. If you have a lot of abdominal fat, you may need to receive liposuction in addition to abdominoplasty to achieve your ideal contours. Typically, we look for fairly healthy individuals who are within 20% of their ideal weight. Can I Qualify for This Procedure If I’m a Smoker?  It is ideal if you are a non-smoker because you must go several weeks before and after your procedure without nicotine. It is a very good idea to not smoke before your procedure because nicotine elevates your blood pressure. To reiterate, you need to be in fairly good health to qualify, and your blood pressure must fall within a healthy range at the time of your scheduled appointment. Also, if you smoke during your recovery period, your recovery will take longer than it should. Can I Qualify If I Have Trouble Maintaining My Weight?  You should be confident that you can maintain your weight fairly well to be considered a good candidate for this procedure. Ideally, your weight should not fluctuate by more than 10 pounds post-op. Combining Treatments for Maximum Results As stated previously, you may need to combine liposuction with abdominoplasty to achieve your ideal results. During your initial consultation, we will discuss all of your cosmetic concerns and tailor a treatment plan that will address all of your concerns as efficiently as possible. We strongly recommend addressing all of your concerns at once because you will only have to take a week or two off from work regardless of the number of procedures you receive. Maintaining Your Ideal Results Once your procedure is over, you need to be committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If you gain a significant amount of weight post-op, the fat cells in your abdomen may store the excess energy, affecting your results. Also, if you lift something too heavy, you may develop a ventral hernia and tear your abdominal wall. For the greatest chance of maintaining your ideal results, eat well-balanced meals most of the time, exercise at least 2.5 hours per week, and always lift with your legs instead of your back. Benefits of This Treatment That Are Often Overlooked A tummy tuck doesn’t just improve your appearance. There are also several other benefits of this procedure that people often overlook. Your Bladder Could Thank You An unfortunate side effect of the natural aging process is a weakening bladder. Also, younger women often experience frequent urination and accidental leaks due to pregnancy. If you find yourself leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, jump, or run, you can benefit greatly from a tummy tuck. Your pelvic floor muscles will be strengthened, strengthening your bladder and preventing stress-induced leaks. Your Posture Could Improve You may find that your posture improves significantly following abdominoplasty. This is due to the fact that your abdominal wall makes up such a significant part of your core. The stronger your core is, the more your spine will elongate. This will improve your posture and reduce lower back and neck pain. When your abdominal muscles are weak, your back muscles have to pick up the extra slack supporting your core. This leads to lower back muscles that are so tense all of the time that they hurt. Also, you may notice that you look much slimmer after this procedure because hunching over due to a weak core can make you look heavier than you really are. Your Loose Skin Could Be Gone for Good The two most frustrating things about extreme weight loss are loose skin and excess skin. Loose skin can make you feel self-conscious about your slimmer physique, and excess skin often bunches up beneath clothing, making you look heavier than you are. Also, loose skin can lead to the development of painful rashes. With this procedure, excess skin will be removed and loose skin will be tightened. Your abdominal region will become smooth, making you look much slimmer under your clothes and giving you the self-confidence to rock your favorite bikini or crop top. Your Muscle Tone Could Improve While exercise can usually enhance muscle tone, you won’t get the tight stomach muscles you want on your own if you’ve had a ventral hernia or been pregnant. Such life events can damage the abdominal muscles to the point that they cannot heal on their own. Luckily, abdominoplasty can repair torn muscles and tighten loose muscles to give you the six-pack you desire. Your Stretch Marks Could Be a Thing of the Past Rapid weight gain, such as weight gain that occurs during pregnancy, often results in stretch marks. If you were lucky enough to gain weight without abdominal stretch marks, you may have developed a few after losing weight. Some people are proud of their stretch marks because they are a reminder that they created a life or lost a significant amount of weight. However, most people wish they could eliminate their stretch marks for good. Luckily, abdominoplasty can be used to remove excess skin with stretch marks on it. This can help you feel more self-confident in your favorite bathing suit. Restore Your Ideal Aesthetic Today You don’t have to spend the rest of your life self-conscious about your stomach. A tummy tuck is absolutely worth it because it restores your ideal abdominal contours following extreme weight fluctuations or the natural aging process. If you’re ready to change your physique for the better, contact us today at the office of Dr. Bruce Kadz in Beverly Hills, CA to schedule an appointment. We look forward to meeting you and helping you restore your self-confidence and toned physique.

What Treatments Are Usually Included in a Mommy Makeover? What’s really important is what you want out of your treatment, so your goals will play a significant role in determining what your treatment is going to look like. In general, we’ve found a combination of breast lift and augmentation, pubic contouring, and a tummy tuck is a great fit for many of the women looking to give their bodies some TLC. We aren’t limited to those options, though! We can also add in either silicone or Gummy Bear implants for an additional fee.

Understanding the Different Parts of This Package Breast Augmentation This breast enhancement surgery can help women tackle both cosmetic and some medical concerns. It can help give your breasts a larger, fuller appearance, or can be used to match the size of one breast to the other. Breast Symmetry and Breastfeeding Many women naturally have one breast that’s larger than the other, but this natural condition can sometimes be exaggerated during breastfeeding. Many women know the struggles of trying to teach their baby to breastfeed, only to discover their baby has a preferred side. Due to supply and demand, the baby preferring one side to the other can enlarge their preferred breast. This can make many women self-conscious, even to the point of not wanting to bring it up. We want to assure you that this is a very common concern, and if you’re ready for a solution other than padding one side of your bra, breast augmentation can help. One additional benefit of evening out breast sizes is it can help even out the weight put on your back and neck. Women Who Have Lost Their Breasts Sometimes breast enhancement has medical motivations, too. Some women who have battled breast cancer may have had to undergo either a lumpectomy or mastectomy. In the early stages, a lumpectomy may be effective when paired with radiation, but can still leave the treated breast uneven. Other women may have had no option other than a full mastectomy. Whether you had to go through a lumpectomy or mastectomy, breast enhancement can help you regain some of what cancer took away from you. Breast Lift Even if you were previously happy with the shape of your breasts, they can, unfortunately, experience changes over time that affect their shape and firmness. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can be factors in this, as well as weight loss, skin laxity, and even just the wear of gravity. If you’re pretty happy with the size of your breasts but just want to improve the firmness and shape, this is the treatment you’re looking for. If you want to increase breast volume, implants can also be inserted for the full makeover of having size, shape, and position improved. How Does It Work? Usually how a breast lift works is by tightening up key areas of surrounding tissue to contour the breast into your desired shape. Excess skin will be removed during this process as well. If there are additional areas of the breast that you’re self-conscious about, such as the areola, we can help with that too. As you age you may have noticed your areola enlarging. If you’re unhappy with this change, we can alter its diameter. Who Is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift? Women who want to improve the substance and firmness of their breasts are usually a good candidate for this treatment. Many patients who seek out a breast lift have their nipples pointing downwards and sometimes positioned below the breast crease. Monsplasty This treatment is also known as a pubic lift, and it’s known for contouring the pubic area by removing excess skin or fatty tissue. If you find yourself with a protruding pubic area, this treatment can help define and improve the appearance of this area. Tummy Tuck Even when you adhere to a healthy diet and exercise program, the effects of pregnancy, genetics, or a declining metabolism can all contribute to abdominal skin and fat levels. A tummy tuck can help slim and tone your abdomen by removing this excess fat and skin. On top of correcting a protruding abdomen, tummy tucks can also strengthen your abdominal muscles. This is an especially great perk for women who have seen their abdominal muscles weakened due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations. Silicone Implants As its name implies, a silicone breast implant is filled with silicone gel, which mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. They’re popular for a reason, it’s an excellent implant option for a wide variety of women. When you come in to visit us, you can let us know your goals and we’ll do our best to match you with an implant that will help you achieve them. Gummy Bear Implants We know it’s a funny name, but we promise these implants are not shaped like gummy bears! They got their name due to their texture; they have given, but are still firm and hold their shape excellently. The silicone gel inside gummy bear implants tends to be thicker than the filling in traditional silicone implants. As for the shape, they have a more tear-drop appearance and taper towards the top. The right implant depends on your goals, including your desired breast shape and size. Each type of breast implant has different advantages, and we’d be happy to go over your options in detail during a consultation. Ready for Your Makeover? Everyone deserves some pampering, and if you want a treatment to help you regain your confidence in your body, we can help with that. We’re happy to answer any questions you have about any of the treatments included in our mommy makeover package. If you’re ready to reclaim your body, contact us at Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, today to set up a consultation!

If you’re tired of wearing push-up bras or adding extra padding to make your chest appear larger, we can help you get the real thing with breast augmentation. At Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, we offer this enhancement procedure so that you can increase your confidence, get rid of your push-up bras, and finally achieve your dream breasts. What Are the Requirements for Breast Augmentation? There are some requirements that patients must meet to qualify for this procedure. We will determine your eligibility for treatment during your initial consultation, where we will learn more about your goals and what you want to change or improve about your breasts. We will also ask some questions about your medical history to ensure that you are in good health and then move forward with the process by designing your treatment plan. You Are in Good Health One of the most important requirements for any surgical procedure, elective or necessary, is that you are in good health. Being in good health is essential to both the procedure and your ability to recover quickly. Patients should be non-smokers, and if they are smokers, they should stop and, if possible, attempt to quit well before their scheduled procedure. Smoking can affect the success of any surgical procedure, as well as the outcome and the recovery. It’s important that you avoid and quit smoking if possible to ensure the best results. Additionally, it’s important that you make us aware of any underlying health conditions that affect you so that we can have all of your health information available when determining your treatment eligibility. You Have Realistic Expectations When we create your treatment plan for this procedure, we will take every step to ensure that you know exactly what to expect. Having realistic and optimistic expectations about your procedure, your recovery, and the results are important to this entire process. We will describe the procedure in detail, review your treatment plan, and describe the recovery process so that you know what to expect. This will help prepare you for the procedure so that you know what to do in the days and weeks leading up to your scheduled augmentation and make recommendations about how to have the best and quickest recovery. You Want Larger Breasts Another requirement of this procedure is that women desire to increase the size, shape, and proportion of their breasts. This procedure is designed to make your breasts larger. The goal of augmentation is to increase breast size by at least once cup size. Those who want natural-looking breasts but also want to improve their breasts with breast augmentation make good candidates for this procedure. You Have Fully Developed Breasts Another requirement of this procedure is that women’s natural breasts are fully developed. Complete breast development typically occurs by the age of 18, but for some women, their breasts continue to grow and develop into their early to mid-20s. If you are in your late teens or early 20’s and want to undergo this procedure, breast development is something that we can assess during your initial consultation to determine whether your body is ready for this procedure. Those whose breasts haven’t fully developed are not ineligible; they will just need to give their bodies time to complete the development process before scheduling their procedure. What Is Breast Augmentation? Breast augmentation is a customizable procedure that aims to increase the breasts’ size, shape, and proportions, typically with an implant. This procedure can also be performed with a fat transfer, which involves the use of liposuction to remove unwanted fat cells from a problem area and then inject those healthy fat cells into the breasts to increase breast volume. What Can I Expect From the Procedure? Once you undergo the necessary consultation process and work with our surgeon to design your treatment plan and choose the right implant type, shape, and size that you want for your new breasts, we will schedule your procedure. We will choose an incision location based on your ultimate goals and your needs, and during the procedure, that incision will be created, and the implant will be inserted into the breast. Incisions can be made in the armpit, beneath the breast at the top of the rib cage, or through the areola. Customizing your Procedure One of the benefits of breast augmentation is that the entire procedure can be customized, from the implant type and shape to the incision location. No one breast surgery is alike because women have different goals, frames, and proportions. Additionally, we can customize your procedure by adding a breast lift to your treatment plan. Implants will improve the size, shape, and proportions of your breasts, but they won’t improve the position of the breasts on the chest wall. With the aging process, pregnancy or nursing, the breasts can experience sagging or drooping due to skin laxity. Adding a breast lift to your procedure can help address this concern by removing excess tissue and lifting the breasts higher onto the chest wall to improve your breast profile and proportions. This add-on can help deliver the most aesthetic-looking and comprehensive results. During a consultation, we can determine if a breast lift is in your best interests. How Long Does the Procedure Take? This procedure ranges in length based on the extent of the work that must be completed. Typically, a breast augmentation will take anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours to complete. Once we design your treatment plan, we can provide you with a better idea of how long you can expect your procedure to take. Before beginning the procedure, we will administer anesthesia to maintain your comfort throughout the duration of the procedure. What Kind of Recovery Can I Expect? One of the best ways to prepare for this treatment is by preparing for your recovery. Enlisting help at home, having someone who can drive you to and from your procedure, and planning ahead will make a significant difference in your overall recovery. After your procedure is complete, your new breasts will be bandaged to help promote quick healing and help support the entire area. Following the Recovery Directives We ask patients to avoid sleeping on their stomach for several days post-op and also encourage patients to spend as much time resting at home as possible. It’s important that you avoid strenuous activity or overexertion until you are cleared to do so. As for resuming your workout schedule, we advise that patients wait a few weeks before resuming light workouts. We will provide you with a complete and thorough list of recovery instructions ahead of time so that you know how to prepare and what to avoid. Who Is a Candidate? The best candidates for this procedure are women from all walks of life. It can help women who have undergone multiple pregnancies and have spent years nursing revamp their figure.

Juvederm is a dermal filler that patients favor. As it rejuvenates drooping, wrinkled skin and rejuvenates aging skin, it has an unparalleled effect on aging skin. Here at Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, we offer a line of Juvederm products, including Voluma, an advanced formula that restores facial harmony and gives you a younger-looking complexion. What Are the Benefits of Juvederm Voluma? This treatment provides sagging skin a lift, fills in wrinkles, and conceals signs of aging. It also rebalances uneven features. Simple injections are all it takes to accomplish the goal. By injecting products, the skin is targeted from the inside, allowing for faster results. Thus, the results last longer and appear far better than anything produced by over-the-counter products. For centuries, we’ve struggled to beat the ravages of aging and have relinquished our control over our looks. We now have an opportunity to regain control over our bodies and faces thanks to Juvederm Voluma. It’s thrilling for the patients to be able to identify the person they see in the mirror as the young and vibrant person they remember. The Treatment: What Is It? There are many fillers available from Juvederm that are designed for the treatment of different areas around the face. Voluma is a unique treatment that corrects the lower part of the face. This is accomplished by restoring volume to the cheeks and chin. A more balanced and sculpted look is achieved by contouring and defining the area around the cheeks. If it is applied to the chin, it can reduce submental fullness, lift skin that has sagged, and sharpen jawlines. It does all this by replenishing and restoring the skin with hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the body. A decrease in hyaluronic acid production leads to a loss of skin volume as we get older. Lines and hollows appear on the skin. Often, as we age, we lose confidence and become frustrated at the idea that we cannot control how we look. This treatment adds new hyaluronic acid into these problematic areas, restoring volume. Where Can I Utilize This Treatment? The Chin In addition to giving an individual a gorgeous profile, a pronounced, refined chin often makes their face appear younger and their skin appear tighter. Patients can achieve a softer, lifted appearance by using this treatment on the chin and jawline. The Cheeks Specifically designed for treating cheeks, this Juvederm filler hydrates them. Sunken areas can be filled, and wrinkles that have developed because of volume loss can be smoothed out. Nasolabial folds, as well as smile lines, are also addressed by this treatment. Consequently, the cheeks are emphasized and the face is lifted. The Treatment Process Before To determine if this treatment is right for you, we will examine your medical history and discuss your goals. Our treatment plan will begin once we have determined that you are a good fit. You’ll find out how many injections you need, how much product you’ll need, and where you should have injections. Many patients are surprised to learn that certain areas bothering them do not respond well to direct injection but are lifted when other portions of their face are treated. We have expert staff who understand facial anatomy and have the artistry and experience to help you achieve a balanced and full appearance. We will then schedule your appointment! During Bring a makeup-free, clean face to your consultation. Just to be sure your skin is primed for injections, we’ll give it one more clean before we begin. An injection of lidocaine or a topical numbing cream is used to numb the treatment area. We can then administer injections while you are relaxed and comfortable. It is easy to get these injections administered. In order to achieve the best results, we will inject the product into the target areas around your middle face, cheek, and chin, according to your plan. It will take you around thirty minutes to finish the process. Patients often schedule treatment during their lunch break because it is so quick. After These treatments require no downtime afterward. Surgery often requires taking a few days off work and everything can take as long as ten days to heal; however, with Voluma, patients can immediately get back to work or continue with their day however they wish. We will provide you with some guidelines for taking good care of your skin. The result will be optimal results and no discomfort. A few of these suggestions may include avoiding excessive sunlight or heat and refraining from vigorous exercise for one day. Patients should also refrain from taking blood thinners. You will receive specific advice tailored to your lifestyle before your treatment. How About Results? Most patients notice a dramatic improvement in appearance after having their injections. There is smoothing of wrinkles in the mid-face area, filling of the cheeks, and a more defined jawline that stays soft. Based on the individual, the location of the treatment, the thickness of their skin, and how fast this process is metabolized, the time it takes for these effects to manifest will vary. It may take some people a week or two to see outcomes, while others might notice results after only a few days. About two weeks after treatment, optimal results should begin to emerge. Are the Results Lasting? The results of dermal fillers, in particular Juvederm, are not only gorgeous, but they last for a long time. A patient can expect around-the-chin results to last roughly six months with this treatment. Using the product on the cheeks gives unbelievable results that last for two years. No matter where you get this treatment, it has long-term benefits. Will I Need More Sessions? Many of our patients have been so satisfied with the results they schedule regular maintenance sessions with us when their results begin to fade. During a maintenance session, the areas will be injected again and the results will be identical. What’s the Reason for My Skin’s Loss of Volume? Genetics There are some people who develop flatter cheeks as they age, but there are others who have always had undefined cheeks. Genes play a significant role in sagging cheeks and hollows. Age It is no secret that aging causes the skin to lose volume. The production of the proteins and acids that keep the skin firm and plump decreases as we age: production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, specifically, drops over time. These substances keep the skin from sagging, losing texture, and wrinkling. As you grow older, you may notice sunken, flat cheeks that droop downward. Because of this, rosy, apple-shaped cheeks are associated with youth. Weight Loss If your body’s fat distribution changes, your face may be affected. Weight loss may make people appear slimmer and more sculpted, but it can also cause their faces to appear gaunt and sunken in. No matter the amount of weight you’ve lost, if you see any gauntness in your face, weight loss might be to blame. To restore volume, you don’t have to put on weight! For individuals who wish to enhance their facial appearance without affecting their overall weight, this is a great option. Does Treatment Work for Everyone? You may be a candidate for this treatment if you are experiencing volume loss in your skin due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. All people regardless of their skin color, age, or gender may be affected by these concerns. As long as you’re physically healthy and over the age of 21, we invite you to schedule a consultation. This treatment can be customized to meet your cosmetic goals based on both your medical history and your cosmetic goals. The product is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction since hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in the body. Are There People Who Aren’t Good Candidates for Treatment? This treatment cannot be provided to women who are pregnant, planning to fall pregnant, or nursing. The treatment may not be available to people who have active skin infections, especially those who suffer from an infection near the area in need of treatment. In some cases, dermal fillers won’t be effective in treating wrinkles. Repetitive movement rather than sagging skin causes some wrinkles, and a treatment like Botox might be more effective in countering this type, since it relaxes facial muscles and smooths the skin above them. Here at Kadz Plastic Surgery, we offer Botox treatments to those who need them and are happy to answer any questions you may have. Say Goodbye to Hollow Cheeks! Although we cannot reverse aging skin completely, we can get pretty close with Juvederm Voluma. With a few simple injections, you can remove wrinkles, folds, a sagging jawline, and hollow cheeks.
