The Executive Chinplant

October 26, 2012March 13, 2013 ~ Lift Md Aesthetics by Dr. Garo Kassabian ~ Leave a comment

In an era of fierce competition in the work place, and multi-media correspondence, ala Facetime and Video Conferencing, it’s no wonder male executives are wanting to look their best. An easy way achieve natural-looking and masculine facial enhancement is with a chin implant, or a chinplant.

–

An Executive Chinplant is intended to enhance the overall balance of the face. For instance, a weak chin make one’s nose appear larger and can even make the neck appear to have more fat. Adversely, a chin that is too large will steal focus from other features and will dominate the person’s appearance. Ideally, there should be a balanced relationship between the features and the structure of the face.

–

Although chin augmentation can be a routine procedure it is crucial, as with any surgery, that you do your research. Is your doctor board certified? Has your doctor performed this before and can you see before and after images? You can never be too informed when it comes to your health and safety so be sure to ask the tough questions and really make sure this something you want.

–

I have many male patients who have received a chin augmentation, either on it’s own or complimentary to a rhinoplasty. If you have any questions, would like more information or would like to see more images of my patients with a chin augmentation, please contact me at my office.

Ask Dr. K: 5 Things Patients Should Always Ask Their Doctor

October 26, 2012 ~ Lift Md Aesthetics by Dr. Garo Kassabian ~ Leave a comment

1) What is your training and education?

It is important to know what your doctor’s background and certification is, so you understand their level of experience. Personally, I am a double-board certified plastic surgeon and received my doctorate from USC School of Medicine. Additionally, my training includes a Plastic Surgery Research Fellowship at the USC School of Medicine; a Fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Oregon Health Sciences University; a Fellowship in Cosmetic Surgery at the world-renowned Baker, Stuzin & Baker Institute in Miami, Florida; a subspecialty Fellowship in Face/Breast/Body Sculpturing with Dr. Lloyd Hale; and training in laser and hair transplantation with Dr. Bruce Rusell. As I mentioned before, I am certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and I am also a member of numerous medical societies, including the American College of Surgeons.

2) Is this procedure something you do often?

If your doctor has performed a procedure many times, let’s say 50, in the past year, then chances are that they perform this particular surgery well and you will have strong results. If the procedure is barely performed, then more risk is involved in knowing how the results will turn out. It is important to see a doctor who specializes or has a strong track record with the particular procedure you are interested in getting.

—

3) What are the risks?

People tend to be more concerned with the benefits and the end result of their procedure, and fail to address the risks involved. You should always know what you’re heading into. Ask your surgeon if they are board certified and what you can expect after surgery, and what the risks are as you make a decision.

—

4) Can you show me “After” photos?

“After” photos of the procedure results from passed patients are the best way for you to get an idea as to how your outcome might look. Ask your surgeon for as many of these as you can and ask for images outside of the procedure you are getting to see how the surgeons work looks in all areas.

—

5) What does it mean to be board certified?

Board certification is the process by which a physician in the United States demonstrates through either written, practical, and/or simulator based testing, a mastery of the basic knowledge and skills that define an area of medical specialization. I am double-board certified in both general and plastic surgery.
