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.

Ask Dr K: What is the current trend in breast augmentations?

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

Although fuller breasts are never really out of style, it’s not to say that a more modest and demure look is in. The days of the Pamela Anderson look are gone, and possibly for the better. Not only can too-large breasts cause back pain, but the silhouette created often looks unnatural and unbalanced. The trend today is less about statement making breasts, and more about an overall healthy, natural-looking, sexy hourglass silhouette, with breast size playing a major role.

The Executive Chinplant

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.

Fractional Laser Treatment at Lift MD

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

fracional-laser-for-blog

We are pleased to now offer Fractional Skin Resurfacing treatments, a procedure that turns back the aging clock!

Fractional Skin Resurfacing is the treatment of choice for acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation.

This advanced laser combines the effectiveness of CO2 lasers with an innovative fractional technology.  Fractional means that only a fraction of the skin surface is exposed to the laser beam, leaving untreated skin around each micro spot.  This promotes fast healing and a short recovery time.  The laser beam delivers a therapeutic matrix of tiny beams of light energy (each about the size of a hair) to the top and mid layers of the skin.  Treatments can be safely performed on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands.

Benefits & facts include: 

-Pigment correction

-Out-patient procedure

-Topical Anesthesia Only

-Minimal Discomfort

-Fast Treatment

-Minimal Downtime, 6-7 days

-Simple moisturizer for aftercare

-Beautiful, long-lasting results!!!

For more information or to book and appointment call the office today!

Ask Dr. K: What Is A Chin Augmentation?

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

—

A Chin Augmentation is a very common procedure in my practice with the aim of bringing balance and harmony to the proportions of the patient’s face. This is achieved by way of correcting a weak chin due to congenital deficiency, age-related bone absorption or facial trauma.

–

The procedure can vary in terms of process and magnitude depending on the severity and the desired result. It can be as simple as injecting a temporary filler to the area to  implanting a silicon chin implant, to even having a genioplasty, more commonly known as chin repositioning.

–

Reasons patients either request a chin implant or are advised to do so is 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.
