Surgery is not one singular event occurring from which a patient recovers and simply moves forward, but occurs as a life-changing event, affecting body, mind and soul. The relationship between surgeon and patient is a powerful bond, a unique intertwinement.

Plastic Surgery Southern California - Laguna Beach Orange CountyCosmetic Surgery in Orange County As with any surgery, the single most important factor in the success of aesthetic plastic surgery is the surgeon you select. Do not take this responsibility lightly. In most states, it is legal for any physician who holds a medical license, with or without surgical training, to advertise as a plastic or cosmetic surgeon. That is why it is essential for you to understand what makes a surgeon qualified and research the qualifications of any surgeon that you are considering. Breast Augmentation With Cohesive Gel Implants Breast augmentation mammaplasty, the second most popular cosmetic procedure, is typically performed to enlarge small breasts, underdeveloped breasts or breasts that have decreased in size after childbirth. It is accomplished by surgically inserting an implant behind each breast. The incision is made under the breast. A pocket is created for the implant either behind the breast tissue or behind the muscle. The standard implant in the United States has been saline filled, but there are also silicone filled implants, including the new 410 Style Cohesive Gel or "Gummy-Bear" implant. What distinguishes cohesive implants is that the silicone gel is firmer, essentially a soft solid. If a cohesive implant is cut in half, there is no gross movement of gel, and the implant maintains its shape.

By using a high vacuum device, the surgeon can suction fat from the legs, buttocks, hips, abdomen, and upper neck. The popularity of liposuction is due to the effectiveness of the technique (in the hands of the qualified surgeon) and the fact that it leaves tiny scars, often less that one-half inch in length. Liposuction is neither a substitute for proper diet and exercise nor a cure for obesity. Learn more about Liposuction. |
