Los Angeles Plastic Surgery

Dr.seanyounai asked:


After the shocking death of Donda West, 58, following Los Angeles liposuction, tummy tuck, and breast reduction procedures lawmakers not only in California, but all over the U.S. and elsewhere, are pushing for new laws which may prevent accidental deaths in such Los Angeles plastic surgery procedures. One such law, known as SB 1454, would require outpatient facilities to be inspected at least once every three years.

Many facilities in which Los Angeles cosmetic surgeons practice are not up to standards. They must be accredited by a state-recognized agency, but current California laws do not require regular inspections.

Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter said Donda West’s niece asked her to introduce a bill requiring a health check before a person chooses to have cosmetic surgery. She introduced the “Donda West Law” in February.

Donda West had been sent home following her 51/2-hour surgery. A coroner’s autopsy report found that West most likely died of heart disease coupled with complications after plastic surgery. But, it said the exact cause of death couldn’t be known.

Dr. Jan Adams, who operated on West, has denied any wrongdoing.

Elsewhere, new laws are being formed which educate patients about their doctor’s credentials, etc. Officials cannot stress enough the importance of choosing the right doctor and facility for your Los Angeles cosmetic surgery procedures.

At the California Center for Plastic Surgery, just minutes from beautiful Beverly Hills, board-certified Los Angeles cosmetic surgeon Dr. Sean Younai performs regular and large-volume liposuction surgery using the tumescent technique. This procedure involves infiltrating the fatty areas prior to the surgery to help numb the region and constrict the blood vessels to minimize blood loss. For over 16 years, Dr. Younai has helped the people of the greater Los Angeles area successfully reshape their bodies and develop a new appreciation for their looks with Beverly Hills liposuction surgery.

You may be candidate for a facelift (rhytidectomy) in Los Angeles if you have experienced a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone of the face and neck. A facelift may also be desirable if you have the appearance of jowls and deep creases between the base of the nose and the corners of the mouth, and developed facial and neck wrinkles. facelift may also be helpful if you believe you lack youthful chin and neck contours and/or feel you have a tired facial appearance.

A facelift is intended to give the patient a more rested and youthful contour to the face and neck.

Facelifts range in size from “mini” to “standard” depending on location and extent of skin laxity. The operation is done on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation, or under general anesthesia.

Incisions are made within the hairline (or along the hair margin) above the ear, extending down around the lobe and ending in or below the hairline behind the ear. The subcutaneous layers and neck muscles are tightened, the facial skin is redraped and lifted, and the excess skin is removed.

The patient goes home with head and neck wrapped in dressings, which are usually removed the next day. Minimal initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Sutures are removed within 14 days. Bruising and swelling decrease to “socially acceptable” levels in 10-20 days. The final result of a facelift in Los Angeles procedure is evident in 4-6 weeks or sooner, with continued improvement for several months.

Additional procedures that would enhance the result of a facelift are: Eyelid Lift, Brow Lift, Chemical Peel, Facial Sanding (dermabrasion), Chin Enlargement, Nose Reshaping (rhinoplasty), Fat Suction, and Laser Skin Resurfacing.

This procedure is considered cosmetic and therefore is not covered by insurance. The patient is responsible for payment.

The specific risks and the suitability of facelift (rhytidectomy) procedure for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect a facelift in Los Angeles occur occasionally. Major complications are unusual.

Let’s face it; we live in an image-based world. The Hollywood stars all set a very high standard for beauty. Obviously looks are important to a career in the entertainment industry, but now as the economy is changing, the quest for youth and beauty does not stop with the on-screen glitterati. With advancements in especially Beverly Hills cosmetic surgery, more procedures are being made available to more people, i.e. the middle class. Before, only the rich and famous could attain such luxury purchases. Now, however, it is much easier and affordable for the regular, middle-class to find Los Angeles plastic surgeons for both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. On the other hand, research shows looks matter not just in the television and movie-making businesses, but also in the corporate world. The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery reports that, among last year’s most prominent trends, about two thirds of its members reported seeing men and women who requested cosmetic surgery because they wanted to remain competitive in the workplace. And when you think about this, it starts to make sense. Image and self-confidence go hand in hand. If you are more satisfied with your image, you are more likely to be confident at work and in life. More and more of both men and women are requesting procedures like Los Angeles facelift, Botox, laser skin resurfacing, teeth whitening, hair transplant surgery, rhinoplasty, and blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery Beverly Hills, and other facial cosmetic procedures which can make patients look 10 years younger. Whether we like it or not, everyone judges on first impressions and appearances. The fact is, we are more inclined to act more pleasingly towards those whom we find more attractive, not always on purpose, but the advantages of being attractive are still prevalent. Attitudes, social norms, and technological advances are going to make cosmetic surgery increasingly common, backed by the fact that our preference for physically attractive people is probably not going to change any time soon. Just like what you wear, what you drive, and what kind of education you have can be effective tools in career advancement, now plastic surgery can become an effective tool in which to improve your personal appearance, physical attractiveness, and thus put you in a better position at the workplace.
