Boob Talk Episode #4 The Laser Bra Lift with Dr. Grant Stevens 08/16/2018

Boob Talk Episode #4 The Laser Bra Lift with Dr. Grant Stevens The Laser Bra Lift Are you a good candidate for an internal bra lift instead of a traditional breast lift? LA Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Grant Stevens discusses the advantages of the Laser Bra Lift and who is the best candidate with Host, Michele Garber. The Laser Bra is not new. Dr. Stevens has been preforming this lift since the 1990's. However, there are surgeons who believe it is nonsense. Dr. Stevens has preformed thousands of these lifts seeing excellent results lasting longer than traditional breast lifts. It is effective and safe. This is still a surgical procedure. The Laser Bra uses a patients own skin to lift the breasts, creating an internal bra lifting your breast to give you upper pole fullness. This skin is traditionally thrown away. Imagine placing your hand under your breasts and pushing up. However, this surgery is not for everyone. You have to have enough skin in order for this technique to be effective. If example you have ptotic breasts and your nipples points down, you are a perfect candidate. Or maybe you want a lift without implants or are having your implants removed and only want a lift. You must have enough skin for this lift. According to Dr. Stevens his laser bra lifts have a longer longevity than the traditional breast lifts. Patient's need to be aware that this lift is not scarless as some website say it is . There is a scar. Recovery time is the same as a traditional breast lift. Why don't more surgeons offer this procedure? One reason is that surgeons need a very expensive CO2 Laser in order to preform this surgery. We talked a little about the current trend in aesthetic medicine for a more natural look across the board. Women want to look natural and more women are exchanging their large implants for smaller ones. In fact Dr. Stevens see a 60/40 split. More woman are wanting a lift without implants. These statistics use to be reversed. What's on the horizon for plastic surgery? Maybe a scarless breast lift in the near future. Stay tuned....

Boob Talk: Episode #3 State of Art Breast Augmentation 2018 with Dr. Steve Teitelbaum 08/09/2018

Boob Talk: Episode #3 State of Art Breast Augmentation 2018 with Dr. Steve Teitelbaum Are You Demanding Enough From Your Plastic Surgeon? Teitelbaum is guided by principles of proportion and restraint, and he produces astonishingly natural looking results. - Allure Magazine 2013 Santa Monica Board certified plastic surgeon Steven Teitelbaum, MD talks with Host, Michele Garber sharing his expertise and wisdom about why patients should be demanding more from their plastic surgeons when seeking breast augmentation. According to Dr. Teitelbaum there have been many advances over the past 15-20 years in breast augmentation surgery that plastic surgeons are still not following. Why? Breast augmentation could be a lot safer, less revisions, less downtime and less pain. Too many plastic surgeons don't care about how a woman will look with her implants in 4-5 years. Dr. Teitelbaum is currently using nerve blocks for pain which gives the patient a much better recovery with significantly less pain. Patients should be asking a lot more questions when thinking about any plastic surgery procedure. We also talk about cup size in relationship to implant size and a patient's body. Everyone is different and when considering implants its important to have the proper measurements. Although you may be thinking about big implants, think twice and consider that big implants can permanently cause damage to your breasts, sometimes this is irreversible. Women should be educated to understand that having 600-650cc and more is really not a wise choice. Not only does it look fake, it's unhealthy. However, there are expectations based on a woman's body type and height. Our national breast tissue was not meant to be stretched that much. Something to really think about when you are considering breast implants. Ask your surgeon if he or she is comfortable with all types of breast implants including tear-drop shape which takes more skill. Patient should look at evidence based literature to learn about breast augmentation not opinion based. And we talk about a lot more...

The 2015 Hollywood Facelift with Dr.90210 Jason Diamond Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond shares his expertise on celebrity facelifts. What is the trend for 2015? We also discuss the misconceptions of removing fat under the chin. Plastic Surgery is main stream and many people are getting facelifts younger and younger. But not all facelifts are alike and not one technique works on all patients. Patients have many misconceptions today about plastic surgery procedures, it is an easy sell. What's most important is that they have an understanding of the procedure what it can and cannot accomplish. Celebrities and models earn a living with their looks, there is no room for error, yet we all have seen some disastrous plastic surgery results. Dr. Diamond talks about his different facelift techniques and what is the new 2015 lift. We also discuss misconceptions about fat and some of the common problems people have after procedures such Kybella, Thermage and other skin tightening devices used in the neck area. Eliminating fat will make you have a facelift sooner, according to Dr Diamond. The area under the chin and neck is a misunderstood area. A common problem he sees after liposuction,Thermage or Ulthera is that the patient's necks is more wrinkled and creppy. Most people with aging faces do not have any excess fat. Consumers need to be very careful about these treatments. Dr. Diamond is dual Board Certified by the Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and by the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery. Dr. Diamond was recognized at the 2008 Aesthetics Show as “Best Facial Plastic Surgeon” and honored with “The Best Facial Plastic Surgeon Award” by his peers and colleagues.
