Plastic Surgery For Men Walnut Creek San Francisco CA
One of the fastest growing areas in plastic surgery is male plastic surgery. The social stigma of plastic surgery being mostly a female dominated area is now gone. Men are feeling more comfortable and are much more knowledgeable about what cosmetic surgery can do for them and in fact you find that their wives and their partners are supportive of them going forward with having procedures done that will improve their self-esteem and improve the appearance of areas of their body that they work hard to improve and do not get results.
Breast Reduction Surgery Walnut Creek Dr. Ramin Behmand
There are many patients who may benefit from breast reduction surgery. A person who is a good candidate for breast reduction surgery often has shoulder grooving from a heavy bra, neck and shoulder pain from the breasts hanging on the wrong trajectory, and skin rash under her breasts as a result of excessive sweating in that area. These patients have often seen chiropractors, spine surgeons, and been through lengthy physical therapy sessions that have not brought about any relief. Breast reduction surgery can make everyday life easier for the person by bringing again some balance to the size of the breast relative to the remainder of the body, and any age past puberty is reasonable to consider breast reduction surgery.
Breast Augmentation Surgery Walnut Creek Dr. Ramin Behmand
Patients who are good candidates for breast augmentations are those who have either small breasts in the age after puberty or have had what we call involution micromastia, meaning loss of breast volume either with weight loss or after childbirth and breast feeding. If there is not any significant breast droop after breast feeding then it could be addressed with breast augmentation alone. But if there is significant breast droop, whether related to weight loss or having had a child and breastfeeding, then a breast lift may be necessary. The combination of breast lift and breast augmentation together can bring not only the breasts up but also increase the volume of the breast so that the breasts are more perky and have a better overall natural appearance.
Breast Augmentation Lift Reduction Walnut Creek California
Patients who seek breast surgery usually fall in one of three categories. One, they may have breasts that are too small and do not bring the right balance to their body. Two, they may have had drooping of their breasts, which they no longer find attractive either in clothes or out of clothes, and three, are patients who have problems with large breasts that really get in the way of their daily activities. All three groups have one thing in common and that is an imbalance of the chest with the rest of the body. The appropriate operation for these patients is to bring that balance back to the body.
Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss East Bay California
A rapidly growing area of plastic surgery is post-bariatric removal of excess skin through plastic surgery. Patients who have lost 70, 80, 100, and 150 pounds, will be able to now have the areas of loose skin that does not go away after this type of weight loss, removed surgically. This could be a tummy tuck, it could be removal of excess skin from the arms, it could involve a breast lift, it could involve a face lift, it could involve an entire lower body lift. Whatever the procedure may be the goal is to remove the excess skin and bring the ideal contour back to that area of the body.
Liposuction Surgery Walnut Creek California Dr. Ramin Behmand
Over the past ten to fifteen years liposuction has transformed to being simply removing fat from parts of the body to body contouring. We now use liposuction in a much finer way to reshape areas where it is difficult to lose fatty tissue and shape that area in an ideal form. Liposuction is not a means of weight loss. The best candidates for liposuction are those who generally have a fit shape and good tone of their skin and would benefit from decreasing the fatty tissue in select areas such as the waist, the hips, outer thighs, inner thighs, even posterior thighs, or the back. All these areas would benefit from a re-contouring with liposuction.
Tummy Tuck Surgery Abdominoplasty Walnut Creek California
Having a child is probably one of the most wonderful things that happens to most people and most mothers in our lives. But no one really wants to be reminded by looking at their body that they’ve had a child. The effects of having a child usually are separation of the stomach muscles and stretching of the skin with leaving stretch marks and excess fatty tissue of the stomach, usually below the belly button, but sometimes above the belly button as well. Exercise and being in shape generally does not help with improving post childbirth excess abdominal tissue. A tummy tuck is aimed at removing this excess tissue, tightening and re-approximating the stomach muscles such that the pre-pregnancy state is restored. Because of the extent of tissue that needs to be removed often after childbirth. The mini-tummy tuck procedure is often not a procedure for which many women who have had children are a candidate. A select few are candidates for it and would benefit from it. The remainder of the patients would benefit from a tummy tuck procedure, which can also be combined with liposuction to enhance the results and the type of waistline it can provide.
Otoplasty Ear Reshaping Surgery East Bay California
Ear reshaping surgery is focused on correcting several deformities of the ear that can cause prominence or noticeable ears in a person. These corrections are often done at a younger age or as an adult. And then it is my job to explain to them what we can do and what the limitations may be. Then, taking all this together, we come up with a surgical plan that will deliver what the patient’s goal is from the surgery.
Laser Skin Resurfacing San Francisco Walnut Creek California
Patients often ask me what is the difference between a face lift and facial laser resurfacing. A face lift lifts the deeper tissues of the face into position but it does not remove the fine wrinkles of the superficial skin that we may see in the mirrors. So the laser resurfacing takes care of these fine wrinkles and often laser resurfacing may be a good complement to be done at the same time or in a staged type procedure after a face lift to get the ideal contour and shape of the face.
Rhinoplasty Nose Surgery Candidates East Bay California
Patients who come to me for rhinoplasty surgery generally have a very good idea of what they don’t like about their nose. It may be a bump on the back of their nose, it may be a poorly defined tip or a bulbous tip, it may be poor tip definition, or a drooping tip, or even a wide nose. We discuss their concerns and I then discuss with them what the surgical possibilities are. If there are limitations we go over those and then we come up with a surgical plan which will allow me to deliver them the goal that they have for this operation.
The ultimate goal from rhinoplasty or nose surgery is to bring a natural balance to the face for that patient’s facial features and bring about the harmony that you would expect among the facial features.
