Beverly Hills plastic surgery

In Beverly Hills plastic surgery procedures are increasingly popular and in-demand. When diets and exercise fail to give you the shape you desire, it is becoming more and more common for people to resort to surgical measures. The perpetual sunshine and skimpy clothing of southern California make surgical enhancement even more enticing than in other areas of the world. When patients are unhappy with stubborn pouches of fat that gather in problem areas, such as the lower abdomen, inner thighs, or butt, they often resort to tummy tucks, liposuction and body contouring. And to achieve a curvy, womanly shape, breast implants remain the favorite procedure of Southern California residents.

If you decide to get breast implants Beverly Hills surgeons recommend sub muscular position of the implants, meaning the implant is placed under the pectoralis major muscle. During a breast augmentation procedure small insertions are made in either the armpit or belly button region, resulting in minimal scarring. If you opt for both a breast lift and augmentation, there will be a lollipop shaped scar going around the nipple with a line down the center of the breast. A breast lift and augmentation generally takes 2 to 3 hours to complete. Most breast augmentation patients take two weeks off of work and strenuous activity is forbidden for the month following the surgery. Pain killers and muscle relaxers are prescribed as needed to manage the pain.

During a traditional tummy tuck Beverly Hills surgeons do not remove fat, but instead the loose skin is cut and the remaining skin is stitched up, which also reduces the appearance of stretch marks. An incision is made in the lower abdomen area, from the hip to the pelvic area. Liposuction actually removes fat cells from the body, so that even if you do gain a few pounds back, it will most likely settle in a different area. After a tummy tuck and liposuction patients have to wear a compression garment for about a month. It takes approximately two weeks for the pain to subside, during which time the patient takes prescription pain killers. Strenuous activity must be avoided for six weeks following the surgery, and it generally takes several months for the swelling to completely subside. When opting for a tummy tuck or liposuction Beverly Hills plastic surgeons have a lot of experience in safely slimming and shaping your body.
