<description><![CDATA[Liposuction is a well known and effective way to remove unwanted fat. While it can be used in almost any location of the body where there is fat, it does have limitations.

<description><![CDATA[A thin or very skeletonized face can look unhealthy or too bony. The loss of fact can occur from aging and certain diseases but it also exists naturally in young patients because they really never had much. Fat injections is a natural and easy to recover from procedure for its treatment. Using a suitable donor site where one would like to have less, fat is removed by liposuction, processed, and injected into the desired facial areas. Much like sculpting, the injected fat is massaged and smoothed out. The only drawback to facial fat injections is the unpredictability of its survival and retention. The areas on the side of the face and below the cheek have the best percent of survival in most plastic surgeon's experience.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many people want to improve the appearance of their neck without having to resort to their concept of a facelift. Getting rid of their neck wattle would return them to a younger look and be able to wear ties, turtlenecks or jewelry more comfortably. The fear of a facelift is a near universal one. Whether one feels that they are too young or too old for surgery, do not have time for any significant recovery, or cannot afford it, many potential patients are drawn to any procedure or method that offers an alternative.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The vast majority of women who undergo breast augmentation want a natural looking result. The size of the breast implant is the single most important consideration to achieve this goal and women labor over the selection process prior to surgery. While showing photographs of what you want is very important to your plastic surgeon, there are three important considerations and measurements that greatly help this selection process.. These are choosing an implant that is no wider than your natural breast base width, understanding that size or cup changes take considerable implant volume to see, and how much skin stretch your breast tissue has.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Unlike female breast enlargement, reduction of the male chest from gynecomastia is most commonly performed by liposuction. Due to the sometimes more form glandular breast tissue in men and to optimize how the skin contracts after reduction, gynecomastia treatment with laser liopsuction (Smartlipo) is particularly advantageous. I have also found that the amount of pain and bruising is reduced afterwards compared to traditional liposuction methods. In some cases, an open excision of subareolar breast tissue can be avoided due to the enhanced breakdown of the tissue due to the heat emitted from the laser probe.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The shape of the forehead is partially influenced by the contour of the upper eye socket, known as the brow bones. Their shape differs by gender and how strong or weak they are is a matter of personal preference. For those desiring more brow contour, they can be built up with synthetic materials using either acrylic or hydroxyapatite.

<description><![CDATA[The aging mouth develops lines and wrinkles, loses volume so the lips thin, and often begins to sag at the corners. While skin resurfacing treatments and injectable fillers are very useful treatment methods, they often fail to create a significant amount of rejuvenation. Like the face, the mouth can benefit from skin removal and tuck ups. These include lip lifts, lip advancements, corner of the mouth lifts, and smile line excision. These are a simple set of minor procedures that can be done in the office under local anesthesia. When combined with skin resurfacing, the mouth area can be made perky again.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Recurrent acne in adults can be a difficult problem that defies improvement by any one single treatment. If  conventional therapies fail as a front line approach, one may consider injecting the problematic skin area with a muscle paralyzing agent such as Botox. By injecting just into the skin, Botox reduces acetycholine release which cuts down the stimulation to the oil glands to produce sebum. Some initial work and anectodal reports have indicated success with this seemingly unlikely approach.]]></description>

It has the advantages of a simpler operation with minimal recovery and an immediate dramatic change. Its downside is the neck scar. Due to the unique properties of bearded skin, however, these neck scars usually look quite good and are not a significant problem after surgery.]]></description>

Changing one's nose is an operation that must be very precise given the central and very visible position of it on one's face.

Liposuction can reduce a knobby or bulgy inner knee. The key to a good outcome with knee liposuction is making a smooth transition from the inner thigh down to the knee and than into the upper calf area.

<description><![CDATA[Rhinoplasty causes certain recovery issues that are of understandable concern to most patients. How much bruising and swelling one will have after surgery depends on what was done during the rhinoplasty operation. If the nasal bones are broken, one can expect significant bruising under the eyes that will take several weeks to completely disappear. If this is not done, then no bruising will occur. Open rhinoplasty causes prolonged tip swelling and internal nasal surgery for breathing purposes causes congestion and nasal stuffiness for several weeks.]]></description>
