Running, jogging, skipping they say helps you lose weight. But there are certain bulges that no amount of dieting or exercise can get rid of. Eventually people opt for liposuction. This plastic surgery helps remove that extra fat without too much trouble, since today liposuction is a commonplace surgery.
For the last five years, lipoplasty, as liposuction is now medically termed, has been the leading cosmetic surgery procedure in this country, with 385,000 procedures last year. People 35 to 50 have the most procedures. Women represented a vast majority, but men made up 20 percent of the total last year, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.Most patients have an average of five pounds removed. Over the last several years, the operation has become safer, in part because smaller amounts of fat are removed. Most people can return to work within a week and begin light exercise in two weeks or so. Swelling usually goes down in about a week; bruising and some numbness generally last about three weeks.
The risk of death, which in 1998 was 1 in 5,000, dropped to 1 in 47,415 from 1998 to 2000, according to results of more than 94,000 procedures reviewed in the March/April 2001 issue of Aesthetic Surgery Journal. Surgeons' reports suggest complications have dropped as well; in the survey, the most common minor side effect was postoperative nausea or vomiting, while the most frequent major complication was skin peeling around the treated area.
Surgeons no longer routinely combine lipoplasty with other major surgery, says Dr. Charles Hughes III, a plastic surgeon in Indianapolis and the author of the journal article.

Cosmeticart
Many of us are unhappy with certain aspects of our appearance and we wish that we could alter them. Apart from this time too takes a toll on our looks. As we grow older our body begins to degenerate slowly altering the way we look.

Fillers
An injection that banishes wrinkles for life, it sounds too good to be true. But there are some experts who believe that the new so-called ‘permanent filler’ can do just that. "It's not good stuff," said Dr Richard Ellenbogen, a Los Angeles cosmetic plastic surgeon, who says he won't offer the new filler. "It's very tricky to use," he said. "It causes granulomas, those unsightly bumps, in the lips and nasolabial folds."Though there are doctors who differ on these fillers.
There are some physicians look on ArteFill as one more valued tool to banish wrinkles. "If it is placed properly, there are no granulomas," said Dr.Marian Northington, an assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
She noted that other fillers entail risks for bumpy skin scars, too.She and Ellenbogen offered up differing views on ArteFill after the injection became the hot topic at the recent annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, in San Diego.
Banishing wrinkles with so-called "soft tissue fillers" such as Restylane or collagen can be a high-maintenance, expensive proposition. Even the longest lasting fillers typically dissipate after six months to a year or so, warranting another trip to the cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist.
Doctors attending the AAD were clearly divided when it came to ArteFill. Some said they'd use it liberally, while others said they won't touch the stuff because the risk of bad results isn't worth it.

Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgeons nationally and locally say that several factors are behind the trend: Buoyed by such TV shows as "Extreme Makeover" and "The Swan," overall interest in plastic surgery has grown. Demographic shifts have rendered the population more diverse. Minorities have become more affluent, giving them the extra income to spend on such procedures.
Cosmetic surgery "is not so much a taboo in the ethnic consumer market anymore," says Dr. David Watts, a Philadelphia-area plastic surgeon, who is developing a skin-care line customized for minority patients. "Now it has become so mainstream, it's just considered a fact of life.
"In Whittaker's case, the nose job wasn't a big deal. She likes her reflection more, but others don't notice a dramatic change. If she runs into someone she hasn't seen for a while, they don't comment on her nose but say just that she looks good. "You can tell a difference, but it's so subtle I still look totally like myself," says Whittaker.
Nose reshaping is the most commonly requested procedures for Asian-Americans and blacks, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Breast augmentation leads the pack for Hispanic patients.
In 2006 there were more than 2.5 million cosmetic surgery procedures performed on non-Caucasian patients, accounting for 23 percent of all plastic surgery patients. As plastic surgery has gained acceptance among minorities, the ideas of attractiveness has changed, says Watts. Women such as J.Lo, Lucy Liu and Beyonce are now all considered among the fairest in the land.
"It's no longer just this Nicole Kidman look that spans everything for everyone," Watts says. "People are really looking at what's considered beautiful, and I think it's starting to cross all of these ethnic borders."

Feel good!
Plastic surgery is also known as cosmetic surgery and has become a commonly opted method to reshape the body and to help improve appearance. It could include operations like abdominoplasty, eye surgery and face lifting.
It can also repair damage caused by accidents or injuries. It is not very expensive today, but still carries some risks, like any other type of operation.People go through a number of plastic operating and are often still not satisfied with the results.
Generally after a liposuction the loose skin poses a problem.Besides most people who have done it once, will return to these operations again and again, even with the same problem, as they feel constantly not satisfied with the result and are ready to give huge sums of money, which they by the way could have used for some better needs, like really supporting their health.
“Plastic surgery junkies need to think about why they want more work done. Obviously it’s much easier to change your outlook on life than it is to change your external look…” (Rosen Christine, The Democratization of Beauty, 2004, p.2).
So this constant seeking for perfection can be considered more of a psychological problem than a problem with appearance. To avoid such result of plastic operations, the doctors are to provide sufficient amount of explanation for the potential patient concerning the results and reasons of this operation. Some may need just a psychological help instead of this operation.

Neck Lift
The neck begins to age faster than the whole face for some individuals. The wrinkles are more easily visible. A neck lift can be performed on its own without undergoing an entire full face lift, but together they complement each other as a package.
Though it is not always the age that prompts a neck lift, sometimes when too much of weight has been lost or it could also be a hereditary feature which individuals would want to rectify. The best advantage is that when men and women undergo neck lift or platysmaplasty the neck just looks more toned up than having surgery done.Jowls are another aspect which could prompt a neck lift.
Jowls can form from fatty deposits at the jaw line and laxity in the muscles, the neck muscles may begin to separate and hang, creating "bands" and the skin may hang more that we'd like creating the "turkey waddle" look.
A Neck Lift, or platysmaplasty and even submental platysmaplasty, is a surgery designed to reduce the loose look of sagging skin in the neck area and under the jaw line. Some patients who complain of having a fleshy neck, "jowls", plastysma or neck "banding", or a "turkey waddle" can benefit from this procedure.
Many times patients choose to have a neck lift with their face lift procedure. You must realize that the neck lift or face lift procedure is not designed to rejuvenate the area above the brow or around the eyes.
If this is what you seek a brow (forehead) lift or blepharoplasty may benefit you. These four procedures can be performed in conjunction with one another for a complete transformation. You could even opt for laser resurfacing, if you are a candidate, for increased wrinkle ablation and facial rejuvenation.

Ear Enhancement
Most of us have our concepts going a little wrong with defining characteristics of beauty, we associate beauty with perfection. We want that perfect 10/10 body with the perfect features and assets. Sometimes beauty lies in imperfection, but we don’t believe that.
Otoplasty can make a remarkable difference in an individual’s life. It can be performed when a child is as young as five or six years of age. At that time, a child’s ears have developed to their full size. Not all ear deformities are evident at birth.
They develop as we age, or can be caused by trauma to the ears, ear piercing or any other external injury. Simple ear problems can also be resolved with the help of otoplasty, including overly large ears, overly cupped ears or even protruding ears.
At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California any deformity is corrected.Otoplasty begins with an incision in the natural fold just behind the ear. The necessary amount of cartilage and skin are removed to achieve the desired effect. It is not a very complicated surgery.
At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California it is performed with utmost care and precision.Otoplasty or ear surgery can be successfully carried out accompanied with cheek and chin augmentation, rhinoplasty and face lift.
We have the best cosmetic surgeons there are in the industry at our centers at Beverly Hills, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Pasadena and Los Angeles.

Tummy tuck
Women tend to put on weight around the belly post pregnancy. This weight is generally a little difficult to lose. Some women have to live with it all their life. Of course excess weight around the middle is sometimes even due to plain aging.
Excess or lose skin around the belly decreases strength of the muscles beneath.Abdominoplasty or ‘tummy tuck’ provides a solution for this problem for both men and women. Men sometimes have a mid life crisis when they let go of themselves and develop a beer belly.
Abdominoplasty helps improve body contour and gives a smoother shape to the abdomen. The plastic surgery begins by making an incision within the ‘bikini’ or ‘boxer’ line under the abdomen, this is so that the scar is not visible post surgery. Excess skin and fat are removed, the muscles are tightened and the skin is kind of redraped to provide a pleasing body shape.
In most cases abdominoplasty is combined with liposuction for further fat removal and body contouring. We here at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California will work closely with you and help you help us develop an operative plan that will meet your specific needs.
Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall.
The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip.If you're considering abdominoplasty, this will give you a basic understanding of the procedure and how it's performed, and what results you can expect.
Ofcourse it cannot answer all your queries because it is subjective and depends on the patient and the plastic surgeon. But you should have a comfort level with your plastic surgeon to be able to put all your apprehensions to rest.

Cut loose
One of the biggest concerns today that people are faced with is weight gain. As we all know it is so easy to put on weight and those flabs, but when it comes to losing it, it is rightly called ‘sweating it out’.
This dilemma has spawned generations, and we are trying to come up with ways and means of losing that ‘flab’ or fat.Services like aerobic exercises, gymnasiums and products like diet drinks help individuals lose weight but often do not produce the much required difference.
To achieve that maximum difference and a noticeable change the practical solution is liposuction. Liposuction (or lipoplasty as it is technically known) assists individuals remove the fat deposits that plague certain areas of the body.
According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, liposuction was the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in America for 2003 with a total of 384,626 cases of the procedures being performed.It is essential to realize medical complications and implications; the reason that people have a liposuction surgery is mainly for cosmetic reasons.
The cosmetic effect after liposuction may be good and most of the patients report back happy, however, it is possible that sometimes the cosmetic effect will not be what you expected. The appearance is sometimes different from what you thought you would see.
Being reasonable and realistic is most essential. It may be difficult to have reasonable expectations after reading advertisements and looking at pictures of women and men who have had liposuction.
Remember that advertising is made to make you want to purchase a product or service. Advertisements do not usually tell you about problems or shortcomings of the product or service.

Why us?
As we all know the medical field is so vast. It is difficult to explain in detail as to what the Plastic Surgery Institute of California is all about. Though this website will give you a good insight and will definitely help shed light on the most common cosmetic procedures performed.
While new techniques and developments are common, like in any other scientific field, the fundamental concepts do not change. One should not and cannot expect miracles here, one needs to understand the limitations.
It is definitely not magic and should not be treated as such.Expecting realistic results will save you from disappointment. I am not dissuading you or trying to tell you that you will not see miraculous differences, but at the same time it helps to be real.
You will be more satisfied with the results if you are realistic about the outcome.Though ofcourse the adeptness of a plastic surgeon is definitely tested in these surgeries, how skillfully the surgery has been performed can be seen from a patient’s photographs, clicked before and after the surgery.
Labeling aesthetic plastic surgery as vanity surgery is a thing of the past. In the last decade there has been an explosion in the demand for cosmetic surgery. Certainly the media exposure, the youth culture, the emphasis on beauty promulgated by the cosmetic and fashion industries and most important perhaps is a more educated public, are among many reasons that have contributed to this boom.
Psychologically cosmetic surgery gives patients a powerful boost in confidence. They look better, feel better and perform better.

The Best of Quotes & Articles on Plastic SurgeryIn the ever-expanding world of plastic and cosmetic surgery, the medical spa, a marriage of science and beauty, is becoming a major trend.
It has become a sort of one-stop beauty and loveliness shop for skin treatments plus surgical rejuvenations that feature, at a minimum, laser treatments, facial peels, microdermabrasion, collagen and Botox.
“I can’t believe I look better now than I did when I was 28,” Maureen said after the most recent procedure. “It helps my job tremendously if I continue to care for my skin after plastic surgery and the spa further helps me rejuvenate.”“I often jot down for clinicians in the spa what type of aesthetic work should be done before I operate,” says Dr. Romita.
“The whole idea of a medical spa is doing non-invasive -- but effective -- treatments.”Today the all new concept of a medical spa is working wonders to attract more clients - these two concepts – the spa and a plastic surgery clinic -- go together like love and marriage because more & more people want a bit more pampering and soothing aftercare along with their facial and other surgical rejuvenations. Moreover, the concept works from the opposite direction, too.
While you’re taking the waters or getting a massage at a spa, why not make an appointment with the staff physician for a little Botox or Restylane? And go home looking really refreshed? Thus, the concept of medical spas is actually a convergence of two, well-established mega-businesses – the $8.3 billion world of plastic and cosmetic surgery and the $11 billion healing spa industry.
The growth of medical spas makes you think of Italian actress Sophia Loren’s advice about eternal beauty. She once said: “Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than her own belief that she is beautiful.”

TESTIMONIALS
Someone who has gone through the surgery is the best judge of the procedure. How satisfied he is and would he get it done again.
It was amazing. I've always disliked my thin lips, but I never felt 100% at ease with any cosmetic surgeon. But at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California everyone was very kind and understanding, explaining to me the whole process in an open and honest way. They made me feel very much at ease, and I was very, very happy about the results. Now I have full-bodied luscious lips, the kind I've always dreamed of. And the plastic surgeon also got rid of those unsightly lines above my lips. I look younger and better than I have in years!"
-Jemma, 33 who got a lip surgery done.
I used to think that people who got facelifts were just vain and self-centered. But it does make a very important difference, not just to your looks, but to your attitude and outlook on life. I have more self-confidence now, and the people at work can see how energetic I've become. It's hard to find a wrinkle line on my face now, and my skin doesn't sag at all. I feel twenty years younger, so why shouldn't I act like it?"
-Dolores, 42 who got a facelift at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.
I'd always had small, underdeveloped breasts, and I guess it affected how I felt about myself a lot. There were never really any clothes that fit me just right, and I didn't have a whole lot of guys calling me up for a date. I had some reservations about getting my breasts enlarged, not the least of which were the potential dangers. But I did a lot of research and found out that the operation was a reasonably safe and straightforward one. Now I feel more self-assured and pleased with myself and I think men are finding both my attitude and my appearance really pleasing
-Bernadette, 31 who got a breast augmentation
As an actor and model, I know that it's really important to present my best self to the camera. When a friend of mine suggested pectoral implants, I laughed the idea off. At the time, it sounded pretty vain and superficial. But when I spoke to the plastic surgeons of the Plastic Surgery Institute of California about the matter, the whole thing made a lot more sense. I work out with weights a lot, but I'd already gotten as far as I could within my genetic limitations. Pectoral implants gave me a larger, more impressive chest, something which many people tend to notice in a positive way. I look and feel more confident, and I think it shows in my performance. I'm definitely getting the attention of more casting directors now!"
-Michael, 26 got pectoral implants
Satisfaction and trust are the keywords to undergo plastic or cosmetic surgery. Once the patient is happy with the way he looks he will always come back.
It was amazing. I've always disliked my thin lips, but I never felt 100% at ease with any cosmetic surgeon. But at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California everyone was very kind and understanding, explaining to me the whole process in an open and honest way. They made me feel very much at ease, and I was very, very happy about the results. Now I have full-bodied luscious lips, the kind I've always dreamed of. And the plastic surgeon also got rid of those unsightly lines above my lips. I look younger and better than I have in years!"
-Jemma, 33 who got a lip surgery done.
I used to think that people who got facelifts were just vain and self-centered. But it does make a very important difference, not just to your looks, but to your attitude and outlook on life. I have more self-confidence now, and the people at work can see how energetic I've become. It's hard to find a wrinkle line on my face now, and my skin doesn't sag at all. I feel twenty years younger, so why shouldn't I act like it?"
-Dolores, 42 who got a facelift at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.
I'd always had small, underdeveloped breasts, and I guess it affected how I felt about myself a lot. There were never really any clothes that fit me just right, and I didn't have a whole lot of guys calling me up for a date. I had some reservations about getting my breasts enlarged, not the least of which were the potential dangers. But I did a lot of research and found out that the operation was a reasonably safe and straightforward one. Now I feel more self-assured and pleased with myself and I think men are finding both my attitude and my appearance really pleasing
-Bernadette, 31 who got a breast augmentation
As an actor and model, I know that it's really important to present my best self to the camera. When a friend of mine suggested pectoral implants, I laughed the idea off. At the time, it sounded pretty vain and superficial. But when I spoke to the plastic surgeons of the Plastic Surgery Institute of California about the matter, the whole thing made a lot more sense. I work out with weights a lot, but I'd already gotten as far as I could within my genetic limitations. Pectoral implants gave me a larger, more impressive chest, something which many people tend to notice in a positive way. I look and feel more confident, and I think it shows in my performance. I'm definitely getting the attention of more casting directors now!"
-Michael, 26 got pectoral implants

Dermal Grafts
Graft: To transplant or implant tissue surgically into a body part to replace a damaged part or compensate for a defect. A dermal graft is when dermic graft skin from which epidermis and subcutaneous fat has been removed; used instead of fascia in various plastic procedures.
The Plastic Surgery Institute of California has centers and skillful cosmetic surgeons at Beverly Hills, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Pasadena and Los Angeles. They perform a range of cosmetic or plastic surgeries. Breast surgery, rhinoplasty, tummy tuck, nose surgery, and breast implant and augmentation. Rhinoplasty can be accompanied with surgeries like Rhytidectomy or face lift, cheek and chin augmentation, otoplasty, blepharoplasty and lip augmentation.
The Plastic Surgery Institute of California constantly seeks to try out innovative techniques which will benefit patients.Currently it has come up with the latest technique of dermal grafts, the innovation in lip enhancement. This revolution decreases the time taken for recovery after the plastic surgery. Dermal grafts are made of samples from the dermis layer of the human skin. Dermal grafts also mold with the patient’s own body tissue and a segment of your own skin is used as filler. Technically the graft surface is treated with a CO2 laser, removing the layer of cells that creates calluses.
A fat graft and a dermal graft are complementary and can be used simultaneously. Dermal grafts give a more localized correction, such as the border of the lip, depressed scars, or the deep hollow beneath the eyes, whereas fat grafting can be used over a larger area.
At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we offer a relaxed environment and we are focused in our attention. We weigh all the options and come up with a strategic plan which fits you the best

Makeover
People want to look completely different, sometimes so much so that they don’t want any reminder of what they use to look like. Wonder why? But I’m sure they have their reasons. The ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures of somebody who has had a makeover are the best way to judge how adept a cosmetic surgeon is.
These pictures say all the stories, and they give you the confidence and the strength to go through the process.Most people simply want to have their outside match the way they feel inside. “Extreme” surgery is rarely needed to reach these goals. And you don’t need to travel far to receive “cutting edge” aesthetic care.
At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we have the latest treatments and techniques. Our centers at Beverly Hills, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Pasadena and Los Angeles are very popular for their aesthetic surgeries.There are various surgeries that can be performed together for an extreme makeover.
Cheek and chin augmentation, face lifts, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, liposuction, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, breast lifts and reduction, breast implants, breast reconstruction, tummy tuck, lip augmentation, thigh lift, buttock augmentation, pectoral implants for men, calf implants and the latest technique of dermal grafts.
Rhinoplasty can be accompanied with surgeries like Rhytidectomy or face lift, cheek and chin augmentation, otoplasty, blepharoplasty and lip augmentation. Our qualified and experienced plastic surgeons at our centers will guide you through it.
We are all so engrossed and taken in by these surgeries and procedures that we almost forget that beauty is not just about the exterior. Beauty is skin deep and is more than what meets the eye.
