Plastic Surgery and you.

Have you ever considered flying off to a great vacation spot and having your personal dreams come true? Our patients travel from throughout Europe and North America to relax in one of the country’s premier destinations and have their procedures such as breast augmentation in fort myers with the Schneider Centre for Plastic Surgery.
Laser hair removal has truly stepped into the 21st Century with the advent of the Soprano Laser Hair Removal system from Alma Laser. “I have personally tried numerous laser hair removal systems and I was dissatisfied with the results, the time it took to treat a region, and the significant pain”, said Dr. Schneider. “This system is fast and virtually painless”.
Aging of the mid-face, the lower-face, and the neck are caused by loss of volume and sagging of the skin, fat, and superficial muscle. Gravity, the loss of fat and bone volume, loss of tissue elasticity, and exposure to the environment, all play a role in these changes. Facelifts are designed to elevate and reposition the tissues that have fallen. Many different types of facelifts exist. Dr. Schneider prefers an approach that produces a natural appearance rather than a pulled tight look.

What to expect when having a face lift

A face lift procedure will generally take several hours, although all surgeons will perform the procedure in his/her own way. The incisions will begin at the temples above the hairline, continue down in front of the ear, and continue behind the ear lobe and extend to the lower scalp. If the neck is part of the procedure, a small incision will be made under the chin.

Pain and discomfort may be a part of the recovery, but can be minimized through use of pain medication. It is normal for the skin to be numb for a few weeks to a month after the operation. Elevating your head and keeping it still for a few days after the procedure will help minimize swelling. The drain tube and bandages will generally be removed in one to five days, depending on recovery progress, and stitches will be removed after five days.

After the removal of the bandages, your face may still appear bruised and puffy; however, you will look normal within a few weeks. The scalp may take longer to heal, although most patients are back to work within about ten days of the surgery. After the third week after the procedure, you will look and feel much better.

While a face lift cannot stop or even slow down the aging process, it can set back the clock by cosmetically altering and adjusting the placement of the skin on your face and neck, as well as removing excess fat and tightening the muscles underneath the skin. If a face lift is performed, it may be accompanied by a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, nose reshaping, or other procedures.

Your Beautiful Nose

The Keyes Surgicenter for Cosmetic Surgery is designed to provide advanced and comprehensive, cosmetic surgical services for those who wish to improve or refine a facial or body feature. The majority of cosmetic procedures are performed on an outpatient basis.

Nasal surgery patients are very specific on what they want especially when it comes to reshaping their nose. The skin that separates the nostrils inside the nose is comprised of bone and cartilage. It may become twisted or deviated , either through birth, or as the result of an injury. Due to this deviation, the air flow pattern through the nose may be altered causing it to be hard to breathe. The nose may also appear to be crooked with a ‘hump’. There are three basic procedures that involve alteration of the nose are: rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and tiplasty.

The approach to nasal surgery or rhinoplasty varies from individual to individual. Patients may have a specific area of the nose they want improved. Ethnic characteristics must be respected when enhancing the appearance of the African-American, Asian, Caucasian, Hispanic or the Middle Eastern nose.

Dr. Keyes has the distinction of being certified by two medical boards, The American Board of Plastic Surgery and The American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. Both these surgical specialties substantiate training for cosmetic surgical procedures.

Contact the Keyes Surgicenter today to have your questions answered, or to schedule your consultation today.

Breast Reduction in Santa Monica

Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammoplasty, is designed for such women. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to give the woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body.

In most cases, breast reduction isn’t performed until a woman’s breasts are fully developed; however, it can be done earlier if large breasts are causing serious physical discomfort. The best candidates are those who are mature enough to fully understand the procedure and have realistic expectations about the results. Breast reduction is not recommended for women who intend to breast-feed.

Your surgeon should describe the procedure in detail, explaining its risks and limitations and making sure you understand the scarring that will result. The surgeon should also explain the anesthesia he or she will use, the facility where the surgery will be performed, and the costs. (Some insurance companies will pay for breast reduction if it’s medically necessary; however, they may require that a certain amount of breast tissue be removed. Check your policy, and have your surgeon write a “predetermination letter” if required.)

Breast reduction doesn’t usually require a blood transfusion. However, if a large amount of breast tissue will be removed, your physician may advise you to have a unit of blood drawn ahead of time. That way, if a transfusion should be needed, your own blood can be used.

Your surgeon will make every effort to make your scars as inconspicuous as possible. Still, it’s important to remember that breast reduction scars are extensive and permanent. They often remain lumpy and red for months, then gradually become less obvious, sometimes eventually fading to thin white lines. Fortunately, the scars can usually be placed so that you can wear even low-cut tops.

For a breast reduction in Santa Monica contact Southern California Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Steven Teitelbaum today.
