Los Angeles Thyroid Surgeon Discusses New Approach To Minimize Neck Scarring During A Partial Or Full Thyroidectomy

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) May 09, 2013

World-renowned thyroid surgeon Dr. Babak Larian, director of the CENTER for Advanced Head & Neck Surgery in Los Angeles, knows that patients are commonly concerned with not only undergoing a procedure to remove a cancerous thyroid gland, but also the after effects and scarring that are associated with the surgery. To ensure optimal patient satisfaction, Dr. Larian is introducing a new technique to minimize scarring that can occur on the neck after thyroid removal. According to Dr. Larian, the scarring that his patients experience as a result of a minimally invasive thyroidectomy is extremely nominal and in some cases, non-existent.

Whenever I perform a minimally invasive thyroidectomy for a patient, Im not only concerned with successfully removing their tumor, but Im also very conscious of leaving them with the least noticeable scar possible, said world-renowned thyroid surgeon Dr. Larian. This is a big area of concern for almost every patient.

To reduce scarring after head and neck surgery, expert California thyroid surgeon Dr. Larian trims away a tiny area of excess skin outlining the incision site once the thyroid gland or tumor has been removed but before closing the opening. After years of performing the routine procedure for hundreds of patients, Dr. Larian believes that one of the main culprits of scarring after thyroid surgery is due to the amount of trauma that the skin experiences at the incision site.

Before I close an incision for a patient after thyroid surgery, I cut away a very small amount of skin near the opening. Because this allows me to suture together new skin that hasnt experienced any pulling, poking, or trauma for an extended period of time, the scar is greatly reduced and the incision heals much better, said expert thyroid surgeon in California Dr. Larian.

Dr. Babak Larian is a highly regarded head & neck surgeon who places an extreme emphasis on providing his patients with the best treatments available and has great experience with minimally invasive thyroid and parathyroid procedures. Upon completion of his medical degree at the prestigious University of CaliforniaIrvine Medical School, Dr. Larian completed a six-year residency program in otolaryngology at UCLA. Dr. Larian currently holds the acclaimed position of Chief of Head & Neck Surgery at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

Breast Reconstruction Options Abound, Says Thousand Oaks Surgeon

Thousand Oaks, California (PRWEB) May 23, 2013

The phased surgical approach taken by actress Angelina Jolie for her preventive double mastectomy is not the only option available to women undergoing breast reconstruction surgery, according to Thousand Oaks plastic surgeon Dr. Kouros Azar (http://www.azarplasticsurgery.com).

Jolie's recent announcement about her double mastectomy drew attention to genetic testing that can gauge a woman's risk of cancer. But it also highlighted the decisions women face about breast reconstruction.

"Ms. Jolie's choice of tissue expanders for her breast reconstruction is appropriate for many women," Dr. Azar says. "But for other women undergoing a preventive mastectomy or those diagnosed with breast cancer, my Thousand Oaks practice offers reconstruction options that include having implants inserted at the time of the mastectomy or using a patient's own tissue to reconstruct the breast mound."

What's important, says Dr. Azar, is that women know they have choices, including the choice not to reconstruct their breasts.

"Many women choose immediate breast reconstruction with implants," Dr. Azar says. "This eliminates the need for additional surgery and provides the psychological benefit of minimizing the deformity after mastectomy." But, either because of personal preference or body type, he says, immediate reconstruction isn't always the best choice.

Using tissue expanders does involve additional plastic surgery, says the Thousand Oaks surgeon. By performing the reconstruction in stages using expanders, new skin is actually created in much the same way as during a pregnancy. In the case of breast reconstruction, implants are inserted into the extra space. Jolie's surgeon at the Pink Lotus Breast Center provides a detailed look at the multiple phases involved with the celebrity's care (http://www.pinklotusbreastcenter.com/breast-cancer-101/2013/05/a-patients-journey-angelina-jolie/).

Other women choose what's known as autologous flap reconstruction, which means the surgeon uses the patient's own tissue taken from a donor site in another area of the body, such as the abdomen, the latissimus dorsi, or the buttocks. An innovative procedure, called DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforators) flap reconstruction, involves complicated microsurgery, Dr. Azar says, but it is becoming a preferred method because it preserves the strength of abdominal muscles, requires a shorter recovery, and provides a slimmer appearance.

No matter what a woman ultimately decides, Dr. Azar says, her choice should be based on her preference after discussing all of her options with her physician.

Dr. Kouros Azar (http://www.azarplasticsurgery.com) is a board-certified plastic surgeon serving Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Agoura Hills, and Westlake Village. After earning his medical degree from Case Western Reserve University, Dr. Azar completed a general surgery residency at University of Arizona and a fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Utah. He is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery. He performs a variety of reconstructive and cosmetic surgical techniques for the face, breast, and body, and he offers a wide range of non-surgical aesthetic treatments.

San Diego Plastic Surgeon Now Offers Exilis Elite

San Diego CA (PRWEB) May 28, 2013

Moradi M.D., an aesthetics practice headed by Dr. Amir Moradi, a San Diego plastic surgeon, is pleased to announce that Exilis ELITE has been added to their already robust menu of facial and body contouring treatments.

For some patients, surgery may not be the first or most desirable option for treatment. This is the very reason we offer these patients a non-invasive alternative such as Exilis, and now Exilis ELITE, says Amir Moradi, M.D.

The Exilis ELITE, by BTL Aesthetics, was introduced at the American Academy of Dermatology in March 2013 as the next generation Exilis device for reducing wrinkles and treating skin laxity. This comfortable, yet powerful treatment, is commonly performed on facial and body areas. This San Diego plastic surgeon is pleased to offer the latest update for the already successful Exilis.

The Exilis has long had a well-defined position in Moradi M.D.s Body Contouring Center. With the Exilis ELITE re-engineered to meet patient demand for better, faster and safer face and body rejuvenation in fewer treatment sessions they expect more patients will seek out this innovative treatment for that purpose, as well as an anti-aging tool.

Patient feedback and satisfaction with our previous Exilis was outstanding. The new technological developments that come with the ELITE will only create a more satisfactory outcome, says the San Diego plastic surgeon, Dr. Amir Moradi.

Utilizing the dynamic monopolar radio frequency (RF) technology of the original Exilis system, Exilis ELITE enhances delivery of thermal energy by nearly twice as much, requiring only two to three treatments to obtain desired results. This higher level of efficacy is achieved by delivering maximum power and speed of high frequency radio waves using BTLs proprietary Energy Flow Control and Impedance Intelligence breakthroughs. These features provide very precise and uniform distribution of heat to the entire treatment area. ELITEs advanced cooling also allows for layering of RF energy at various depths.

The deposit and distribution of this heat into the skin stimulates new collagen formation as well as strengthening and tightening of the connective tissue bands that support the skins structure. The visual results to patients include tightening of lax skin, smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles and in some cases a lifting of the skin in the areas treated.

San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Moradi and his team at Moradi M.D., offer a large array of cosmetic services including; facial plastic surgery, dermal fillers and wrinkle reducers, laser treatments, body contouring and fat reduction, and medical grade skin care services and products. The physician and staff of Moradi M.D. pride themselves with providing patients with the utmost professional and personalized care. They strive to show their customers how they can look their best through affordable cosmetic enhancement and skin rejuvenation.

(PRWEB) May 31, 2013

This years must have in beauty-conscious Beverly Hills is a new plastic surgery procedure that gives the aging face a double-dose of rejuvenation. Developed by renowned facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Paul Nassif, M.D., F.A.C.S., the Beverly Hills Facelift combines advanced surgical technique with the regenerative power of a pair of natural substances derived from the patients own body.

The first facelift to revitalize both the deep tissue of the face and the skin, the Beverly Hills Facelift is the solution to both sagging skin and the loss of facial volume that occurs as we age.

With the Beverly Hills Facelift, were able to achieve a much more natural and youthful result because were going beyond just repositioning and tightening skin, said Dr. Nassif. With this procedure, were also restoring the fullness and glowing skin that are the hallmarks of the young face.

The first step is a surgical facelift that improves the faces underlying structural foundation and elevates facial muscles and skin to counter the effects of gravity. Dr. Nassif then injects a revitalizing mixture of fat harvested from the patients body and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) derived from the patients own blood.

The fat acts as a natural filler to restore youthful plumpness to cheeks, underneath eyes and other hollow areas of the face. The PRP aids in the retention of the fat graft, improves the skins texture and helps stimulate collagen growth to keep the face younger looking.

Dr. Nassif reports that as word has spread of this fortified procedure, the majority of his patients are now opting for the Beverly Hills Facelift over traditional facelifts.

After making the decision to have a facelift, it just made sense to me to get the most advanced treatment available, said patient Dr. Estella Sneider.

Long Island Surgeon Jon Turk Introduces Hydrafacial for Teens

(PRWEB) June 13, 2013

Facial plastic surgeon Jon Turk has introduced Hydrafacial X, a facial series designed to help clean and clear problem skin for teens.

Dr. Jon Turks plastic surgery practice has long been offering plastic surgery and cosmetic treatments to address the most frequent aesthetic concerns of his adult patients. Now Dr. Turk has introduced a new treatment that is tailored to meet the skin care needs of teenage patients. This innovative treatment, Hydrafacial X, is a three-part program that is meant to thoroughly clean oily, broken out skin.

The idea of Hydrafacial X came to Dr. Turk after his own teenage son had a HydraFacial performed at Dr. Turks plastic surgery practice. After the treatment, Dr. Turks son noted the improved appearance of his skin and wondered why most teens are willing to turn to dermatologists for skin treatment, but seem to avoid spa treatments such as facials. While topical dermatologic treatments can be effective, they can be drying to the skin and are often only successful on skin that has already been deep cleaned. Dr. Turk realized that this was a special opportunity to create a skin treatment to cleanse and refresh teenage skin. Whats more, this treatment can be performed in Dr. Turks medical offices, a more private and professional setting than a day spa. Working together, Dr. Turk and his medical aestheticians came up with Hydrafacial X, a three-part cleansing facial.

Hydrafacial X is beneficial to teens in that it addresses the most common skin problems faced by teenagers. The Hydrafacial X consists of three separate treatments, spaced two weeks apart. This facial is designed to:

Top Rhinoplasty NYC Facial Plastic Surgeon Sam Rizk, MD, FACS, Sees Surge in Cosmetic Surgery Requests as a Result of Social Media

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 13, 2013

In this digital age, social media has a growing impact on how we view ourselves, leading some self-critics to embrace plastic surgery as a fast way fix their perceived flaws.

Noticing the impact of this trend, New York Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Sam Rizk, MD, FACS (http://www.drsamrizk.com), has seen a notable increase in requests for surgery as a result of social media scrutiny. At his Manhattan practice, Dr. Rizk notes that over the past year, thirty to fifty percent of his patients who want work done cite the way they appear on social media as a major impetus in their decision to pursue surgery. Of these requests perpetuated by social media, the eyes and nose are the primary area of focus.

Like it or not, I dont see this trend slowing down anytime soon, says Dr. Rizk. The more we are bombarded with our own image, the more opportunities we have to pick apart and fixate on certain areas. This can become an obsession and spur people on to seek cosmetic correction. Between high definition television, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram, how you look in photos and video clips has definitely become a driver for all cosmetic procedures from Botox to neck lifts.

Known for his deft hand and industry leading surgical techniques, Dr. Rizk is a pioneer in the use of high-definition three-dimensional technology. With this advanced procedure, Dr. Rizk is able to ensure greater efficiency, precision and accuracy during surgery. Patients benefit from less bruising and scarring, plus an expedited recovery (five days versus the standard two weeks) and a highly natural-looking outcome.

A strong advocate of artistically customized service and superior patient care, Dr. Rizk urges all prospective patients to do their homework prior to any elective surgery. He advises patients educate themselves and to choose a board-certified surgeon who specializes in the face, head and neck to optimize chances of a favorable outcome.

Dr. Rizks office is located at 1040 Park Avenue in Manhattan.

Utah Plastic Surgeon Dr. Scott Haupt of Utah Cosmetic Surgery Introduces New Teardrop Breast Augmentation Procedure

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) May 13, 2013

Dr. Scott Haupt, one of Utah's most experienced plastic surgeons, recently introduced the new FDA-approved "teardrop" breast augmentation procedure at his Murray, Utah practice. These new silicone-fill breast implants approved by the FDA in early 2013 provide breast augmentation for patients seeking a more natural look than traditional round implants. Dr. Haupt is one of the first surgeons in Utah to offer this procedure.

Also commonly referred to as "gummy bear" silicone implants, the structure of the silicone gel gives the implant a better shape. Contrary to round silicone breast implants, the teardrop shape still allows for augmentation of the breast without altering its natural shape.

"Not all of our patients looking for breast enlargement want it to be obvious by the shape of their breasts that they've undergone an augmentation procedure," said Dr. Scott Haupt of Utah Cosmetic Surgery. "The teardrop shape of these newly-approved silicone implants allows our patients to get the figure they want without sacrificing shape."

While the teardrop implants provide a more anatomical shape, it requires a skilled surgeon to place them correctly. Proper placement requires the implant to be texturize so that it adheres in the breast tissue pocket accurately and doesn't shift or rotate.

"Our new teardrop breast implants are a great option for many women, but they may not be a good option for certain builds or body types," said Dr. Haupt. "It's important that those interested in these implants consult with a skilled surgeon first to get their expert option on the type of implants that will best compliment their look."

Dr. Haupt has performed more than 7,000 surgical procedures during his experience as a Utah plastic surgeon. He has been featured in Forbes and Newsweek magazines as one of the finest plastic surgeons in the country. He completed his plastic surgery residency at the University Of Utah School Of Medicine and frequently consults with other physicians and nurse practitioners on difficult cases.

In addition to breast augmentation procedures, Dr. Haupt also specializes in body reconstruction, facial plastic surgery, liposuction, and other cosmetic procedures. His staff at Utah Cosmetic Surgery also provides laser hair removal and skin care services.
