Transform your Eyes with Dr Kassabian’s Signature Eyebright Treatment

~ Lift Md Aesthetics by Dr. Garo Kassabian ~ Leave a comment

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.

Take the Steps to Better Looking Eyes

Due to Dr. Kassabian’s phenomenal results with his signature Eyebright treatment, the procedure has become extremely popular.  Along with his dedicated staff members, Dr. Kassabian is committed to the safety and utmost satisfaction of all his patients. Through Facebook, Instagram and YouTube you can find a multitude of people who have undergone this treatment and their amazing results. Their stories tell of how their lives have been incredibly transformed after getting the treatment.

The Game Changer™: Jawline Contouring 

~ Lift Md Aesthetics by Dr. Garo Kassabian ~ Leave a comment

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.

This YouTube video will show you a step by step of the procedure:

Sharpen Your Angles Through Jawline Recontouring

~ Lift Md Aesthetics by Dr. Garo Kassabian ~ Leave a comment

With the explosion of social media, we are seeing celebrities, models and Instagram influencers sharing beautiful selfies and gaining thousands of followers in the process. Their sculpted jawline and sharp angles tempt us to press the ‘follow’ button too. How do they do it? While many claim that it’s about the lighting, your fat deposits and bone structure both play a significant role in getting that picture-perfect angle. Your jawline is one of the most noticeable features on your face and contributes heavily to your entire facial aesthetic. Because of this, many women are getting their jawline recontoured surgically.

Getting your jawline recontoured through surgery gives the best long-term results. Some jawline recontouring cases are medical while others are aesthetic. In aesthetic cases, females are generally looking to reduce a prominent jaw for a more feminine look, get a defined jawline and remove a double chin. We all have different facial proportions, so this procedure should be customized to enhance your natural beauty.

Depending on your features, jawline recontouring can combine neck liposuction, buccal fat pad removal, chin reduction surgery and chin implants.

Getting rid of a double chin

A long neckline is considered graceful and helps the face look more refined while enhancing your profile. Many women come in looking to get rid of a double chin. Genetics are the main factor for double chins, but weight gain can contribute as well. A neck liposuction gets rid of double chins and refines the area under the jaw, making the jawline look more chiseled.

Slimming the face

Your buccal fat pads are located in the lower cheek. Both genetics and weight gain play a big role in the size of your fat pads. Buccal fat pad removal is a surgical procedure for reducing these fat pads, slimming down the face. This can help result in a more sculpted look.

Reshaping the Chin: Reduction

Along with your nose, your chin plays a prominent role when it comes to facial aesthetics. Chins that are too wide or jut out too far can be reshaped through chin reduction surgery. Your jaw develops until you reach 20, so this type of surgery is recommended for people 20 and above. In this surgery, excess bone is removed and shaped to contour the face.

Reshaping the Chin: Implants

While some people want to reduce a prominent chin, others are worried that their chin isn’t prominent enough. In these cases, implants can be used to create a natural-looking, sculpted jaw line. A chin implant will help define the chin from the neck area. Usually, chin implants are done in conjunction with rhinoplasty, keeping facial proportions balanced.

There are also nonsurgical procedures like our signature Game Changer. If you want to know more about our surgical jawline recontouring Want to find out which procedure is right for you?

Your Breast. Your Option.

~ Lift Md Aesthetics by Dr. Garo Kassabian ~ Leave a comment

Women of any age can have an augmentation, to increase the size or improve the shape of their bust.

Choosing the type of implant that is right for you is a collaborative process between you and your plastic surgeon said, Dr. Garo Kassabian. You will discuss your concerns and desired outcome and he or she will, in turn, make recommendations about what is achievable, how and why.

Dr. Kassabian reviews the types of implants available, such as texture and shape for the most beautiful outcome.

Texture

Pre-filled silicone implants contain a cohesive gel with a strong bond that prevents the silicone from migrating through the body in the rare event the implant leaks or ruptures. There are two types of shells available for these implants: smooth and textured. The latter has been shown in studies to reduce the rate of hardening of tissue around an implant, which the body perceived as a foreign object. The surgical community has differing opinions on the relative benefits of both types varieties. Discuss these with your surgeon.

Saline implants are silicone shells that are filled with saline (salt water) at the time of surgery, and so smaller incisions are required than with pre-filled silicone implants. In standard breast augmentations, the port through which saline is inserted into empty silicone shells until the implant reaches it desired dimensions. The port is then sealed off. When breasts are reconstructed after mastectomy, tissue expanders are used to make room for implants. The volume of saline is adjusted as the tissue expands until the desired size of the new breast is achieved.

SHAPES

Teardrop shaped implants contain more volume at the bottom to mimic the breast’s natural slope. They thus give a natural look but a disadvantage can be that if the implant shifts or rotates it can distort the appearance of the breast.

Round implants provide the upper breast with more volume and are the most widely used in surgery. They provide more fullness and cleavage and won’t rotate.

Speak with your surgeon to better understand all the options available for you.  For more information or for a personal consultation with board certified plastic surgeon & expert injector, Dr. Garo Kassabian, call 310-285-0400 or visit www.liftmd.com.

Is Liposuction Really Necessary?

~ Lift Md Aesthetics by Dr. Garo Kassabian ~ Leave a comment

A liposuction is a form of cosmetic surgery in which deposits of fat are removed to reshape or reduce one or more areas of the body. Common areas targeted include thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and arms.

Liposuction is not a substitute for weight reduction or a cure for obesity. It is often used to reduce deposits of fat that have been difficult to move, even though the person has developed a healthy diet and activity habits. 

Liposuction is suitable for normal weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of fat in certain areas that need to be removed. To be suitable for liposuction you must be physically healthy, psychologically stable and have realistic expectations.  Although the age is not a significant concern, elder people may have less skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger person with tighter skin.

Dr. Kassabian has been at the forefront of refining innovative liposuction and body contouring techniques.  Depending on the procedure, you will be sedated, or receive local or general anesthesia to keep you comfortable.  Then a tiny incision is made to enter your body and remove the subcutaneous fat from the market areas.  Dr. Kassabian makes the incisions as inconspicuous as possible to minimize scarring.

Before you opt for a liposuction procedure, you need to think carefully about your expectations.

Injectables and Fillers: Lift MD’s Top 5 Questions

~ Lift Md Aesthetics by Dr. Garo Kassabian ~ Leave a comment

FullSizeRender

Botox. Juvederm. Voluma.  The beauty world’s triad of agelessness. Perhaps you’re considering one or all three? (Yes! You can get all three injected in one day!) Or maybe you have been injected but still have some questions?  The team at Lift MD gathered their top 5 most frequently asked questions regarding injectables and fillers and put together the list below.  We want you to look as good as you feel so always feel free to write to us with any questions about treatments, products and procedures!

  • How long does Botox last?  How long will Juvederm and Voluma last?
    • Keep in mind that everyone’s body metabolizes injectables differently and so some people may not need as many touch-ups as others.  That being said, typically Botox lasts anywhere from 3-4 months while Juvederm can last from 6 months to a year and Voluma up to two years.
  • Am I limited to the amount of activity I can do pre-treatment or post-treatment?
    • There is nothing that you need to do to prepare for your injectable treatment but it is recommended to avoid aspirin and blood thinners as they may cause bruising.  Also, avoiding caffeine may be helpful if it typically makes you feel jittery.    There are some different guidelines when it comes to post-treatment care though.  If you get Botox injected, don’t lie down for 4 hours and avoid any exercise until the following day.  With all injectables, it is recommended to avoid drinking alcohol until the following day as alcohol thins the blood which may lead to some bruising.
  • What exactly is the difference between Voluma and Juvederm?
    • Voluma and Juvederm are both Hyaluronic Acid  fillers, however, the main difference between the two is that Voluma is a much thicker filler.  So Voluma yields the best results when injected in the cheeks and mid-face to restore volume.  While Juvederm is used to fill the lips, nasolabial folds and directly beneath the eyes.
  • How long does it take to see the results for Botox, Juvederm and Voluma?
    • Expect to see the full results of your Botox treatment between 7-10 days while Juvederm and Voluma will take 7 days.
  • Is there anything one can do to make the results last longer?
    • If there is one tip that everyone at Lift MD swears by it’s to drink as much water as possible if you were injected with a filler.  Water bonds with the Hyaluronic Acid and thus keeps the filler plump and helps it last longer.

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

~ Lift Md Aesthetics by Dr. Garo Kassabian ~ Leave a comment

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

 

blog model logo

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.
