Our eyes can be one of the first impressions of our well being that other people notice. They can often give out a false idea of who we are.  Sunken eyes can cause us to look older than our years, as well as give the assumption of lack of sleep and a poor diet, even though this might be the opposite of the truth.

Unless we take steps to reduce the problem, our overall well being can be affected.  It is well studied that our mental state can significantly affect our physical state and cause us to become unwell.  If giving a false impression about yourself due to the appearance of your sunken eyes is troubling you, there is no need to go on living with this concern. Dr Garo Kassabian’s signature Beverly Hills Eyebright treatment can improve the appearance of your eyes significantly; causing you to not only look better, but also feel better.  

Causes of and solutions to better-looking eyes

Under eye hollowness and the appearance of dark circles are mainly attributed to either the natural aging process, genetics, or life events such as lack of sleep, poor diet and even stress. The hollowness is due to the natural loss of -or lack there of- fatty tissue under the eye in an area called the tear trough. This hollowness is giving the appearance of dark circles due to the indentation of the skin, causing a shadow and sunken appearance. This can be a problem for both men and women. Once you have this condition, neither a change in lifestyle, nor any amount of makeup, can rectify the problem. Your options are either surgery or non-surgical treatment.

Although plastic surgery might be the right choice for some and a great solution to their cosmetic concerns, it is not necessarily the right option for all. There can be any amount of reasons not to proceed with surgery such as: the timing might not be right, financial concerns, scheduling conflict for the downtime needed after surgery, or just hesitant of getting surgery in general. Even though surgery is long lasting, can boost confidence, heighten self- esteem, and improve our outlook on life, it’s not the only solution.

Dr Garo Kassabian is well known for being the best plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. His non-surgical Eyebright treatment is an alternative to surgery and can result in an amazing transformation that will leave you looking and feeling rejuvenated.  

Eyebright Treatment can work for you

Dr. Kassabian’s method for correcting under eye hollowness and dark circles is an exclusive injecting technique, which differs from any other method from other practices, and is only performed at his establishment at LiftMD. Derma fillers made with hyaluronic acid, which is hydrating substance naturally found in the body, are used in conjunction with Dr. K’s unique injecting technique.  Since hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body, adverse effects are extremely rare.

Many people, including numerous celebrities, have sought out Dr. Kassabian’s signature Eyebright treatment and all are a testament to its outstanding results.  His 10+ years’ experience in delivering the utmost excellence in all injectable procedures has earned him the exclusive Allergan Black Diamond Award, placing him among the 1% of the top most experienced surgeons in the country. You will be in very good hands by choosing Dr. Kassabian as your expert injector.

Dr Kassabian’s signature procedure does not require the use of needles.  We all know that needles can cause some of us to be squeamish or feel faint at the thought.  However, Dr Kassabian uses an advance technique to inject the filler using a cannula, which is thin like a needle but isn’t sharp, so it’s essentially a thin tube. As a result of this, there is minimal to no pain and rarely any bruising or swelling.

This minimally invasive treatment will allow you to regain a more youthful and renewed appearance and will last up to 18 months depending on the person.  Because of the use of a cannula, there isn’t any downtime, so you are able to go about your daily duties immediately after undergoing the treatment.

Loose or sagging skin at the jawline and chin, or an undefined jawline, could all mean you are a great candidate for jawline contouring. Dr. Garo Kassabian of Beverly Hills is renowned for his signature, non-invasive contouring procedure, the Game Changer™. This procedure enhances the jawline and chin through volumizing, lifting techniques, and reshaping–without the use of anesthesia or surgery.Types of for Jawline Contouring 

There are two methods of jawline contouring: surgical and non-surgical. A consultation at our clinic can help determine which option is best for each patient.

Surgical

Surgical jawline contouring usually entails liposuction, chin implants, and/or buccal fat pad removal – each individual’s procedure varies. Liposuction removes excess fat at the base of the jaw in the neck, while chin implants extend and define the jawline. Buccal fat pad removal consists of withdrawing fat deposits in the cheeks to create a slim and contoured appearance.

Non-surgical

If you prefer a minimally invasive procedure, a non-surgical option is available. Botox and  dermal fillers are the most popular treatments. Fillers add natural volume and a lifting effect to reduce sagging and drooping, and provide subtle contours to the jawline. A combination of both Botox and dermal fillers reduce wrinkles and fine lines in areas around the lips, chin, or jaw.

Am I A Candidate for the Game Changer™?

If you are unsatisfied with the appearance of your jawline, neck, or chin, the Game Changer™ could be an option for you. Whether you would like a more feminine and contoured appearance, rigid masculine lines, or simple smoothing of wrinkles and slightly tightening loose skin, Dr. Kassabian can use his signature technique to give your jawline a natural, contoured look.

Before you receive treatment, a consultation with Dr. Kassabian is necessary to discuss your medical history and expectations. This will determine which treatment option and plan is best for you. If it is decided that the Game Changer™ is best for your needs, you can receive the treatment during the same appointment as your consultation.  

What to expect from the Game Changer™

Contouring makeup takes time, skill, and products – which can end up costing a lot throughout your lifetime. The Game ChangerTM offers patients a semi-permanent solution. This signature technique, crafted by Dr. Garo Kassabian, does not require incisions or the use of needles. Instead, he uses Juvederm Ultra Plus XC and Voluma XC facial fillers to help achieve a natural contoured appearance, enhance your natural beautiful lines, and create a balanced look. The number of injections needed for contouring will be dependent upon expectations, facial structure, and your skin’s health.

Recovery & Results

Some patients may be concerned whether any pain is involved during the non-surgical procedure. Patients experience minimal to no discomfort, but a topical and/or local anesthetic is applied to the area to reduce any pain or discomfort.

The Game Changer™ is performed on an outpatient basis and takes approximately an hour or less – you can even have it done during your lunch break. There is no downtime and rarely any bruising or swelling. Once the procedure is complete, you can return to your daily routine when you are comfortable.

The results of the procedure are instant, except for Botox which take 7-10 days to become effective. You may notice a more defined  jawline, tightening and lifting of loose skin , and diminished wrinkles. Results last approximately 18 months, depending on your lifestyle and the way your  body naturally metabolizes the filler.

An incredible advantage of having facial fillers is that they encourage the skin to produce more collagen. As the filler starts to dissolve, your skin naturally produces more collagen, giving you a more youthful appearance in the long run.

Liposuction vs. Coolscultping: Which one is right for you?

 

Liposuction and coolsculpting are both designed to remove excess fat, but the two procedures vary greatly in the excess fat removal process and the overall outcome. Although liposuction and coolsculpting are both a safe and effective way to remove fat and achieve a slimmer appearance, one might be the better choice for you depending on your desired results and individual needs.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that vacuums excess fat deposits from under the skin, slimming and reshaping certain areas of the body such as the hips, buttocks and abdomen. Liposculpture or Lipoplasty is also effective in removing fat deposits from the back, legs, arms, face and neck. The best candidate for this procedure is someone who lives a healthy lifestyle, but even after efforts in exercise and a healthy diet, is unable to get rid of excess fat in certain areas. Liposuction improves your body contours and proportion in a dramatic way, as it is a surgical procedure. The recovery time for liposuction and liposculpture depends on the extent of the procedure. The results will last as long as you continue living a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and exercising regularly.

Coolsculpting

Coolsculpting is FDA approved for fat reduction using a non-invasive cooling technique called Cryolipolysis to target and freeze localized fat. Once the treated fat cells are frozen, they die and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body for good. The best candidate for this is someone who is close to their ideal body weight but has small areas of stubborn fat pockets such as in the stomach, love handles or back fat that won’t go away with diet and exercise. Coolsculpting is a non-surgical solution that requires no downtime or recovery. You may start to see results three weeks after your treatment, but will experience the full results after two months. Your body will still flush out fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.
