Plastic Surgery is Quality of Life Surgery

Commons — Wed, 16 May 2012 03:17:42 +0000

Plastic Surgery and plastic surgeons strive to make a persons life better by enhancing their appearance to themselves and the world. Self esteem and confidence is improved with plastic surgery. We humans focus on all sorts of thing to dislike about our looks. The best candidates are those who fixate on a certain body part but just want to look a little different and better. Potential candidates that may be helped include people who look 10 to 15 years older than they are, flat chested young women, people with very large or very small noses, males with breasts, people with fat abdomens, people with large butts, people with large thighs and ankles, people with very large breasts, and many more. See a plastic surgeon and be happy. An ABPS surgeon will take good care of you.

Beauty Machines That Fail to Please Patients

Commons — Fri, 11 May 2012 03:22:55 +0000

The American FDA will approve just about any non invasive device. If it does not go inside you or stick you somewhere into your insides, it gets approved. Period. The fact that many beauty machines do little if anything at all seems to not bother the FDA. I guess the government assumes that if its out there selling and people are buying, the economy benefits at least. But the patient or customer gets cheated if the magnificent machine does little or nothing,correct? Of course. There are machine to melt away your fat with the wave of a wand. Machines to melt away your fat with a little massage paddle. There are machines to stimulate you to grow hair. There are machines to remove hair which actually work, amazing! There are machine to shrink your facial skin. There are machines to shrink skin anywhere you think you have skin that needs shrunk. Machines to shrink your belly abound. Others to shrink your butt and thighs. In reality, most just shrink your wallet. And believe me there are, in each listed category, endless makes of these magnificent machines, as well as many to tune up you wrinkles. Oh, lets be fair, they all work a little but can you actually see a 2 % improvement for $5000. If you want to see improvement you better buy time on the Hubble telescope. Save your money and buy something real. Get some Botox, or Juvederm, or Restylane, or Sculptra. They all work. Get a chemical peel, or dermabrasion, or laser skin treatment that is guaranteed to show lasting and demonstrable results.
Get some surgery, it certainly works when well done. Think. If you have a bunch of money you just itch to dump go shopping at Nieman Marcus, or Macys, or Nordstroms, or where ever. But don’t throw it away on do nothing beauty machines. Be a cautious shopper. Even if you have endless dollars, do you really want to be a sucker? Of course not.
Think. Always. My Best,

Fat Stem Cells for Facial Rejuvination That Works.

Commons — Tue, 08 May 2012 19:58:53 +0000

The new miracle of plastic surgery is associated with youth restoration of the face. This is accomplished with stem cells from fat and the results are beyond belief. Simple liposuction produces the fat which can come from anywhere on the body. The fat is centrifuged and an easy identified layer consists mostly of stem cells. This is harvested and 100 ccs or so is injected into the deficient areas of the face. The results can roll back the clock 25 to 30 years. The era of facial

How to not swell up after surgery

Commons — Thu, 03 May 2012 17:05:16 +0000

How To Not Swell Up After Your Surgery
1. Avoid all sodium salt for 10 days before and 30 days after your surgery. This means limit to less than 2000mg day which is not easy without vigilance. See endless low sodium diets on Google.
2. Keep your operated part, whatever it is, elevated above heart level.
3. Drink lots and lots of water. At lease 5 8 oz glasses a day.
4. Walk but do not run in all your activity.
5. Follow your docs instructions with evangelical zeal.
6. Coolness usually helps reduce swelling. Coolness of the mind and coolness applied to the operated part if possible. Cold is painful but coolness is great.
7. Thats it….and of course ask you docs if they have other ideas.

Disaster in Cheap Plastic Surgery

Headlines reporting bargain basement horrible plastic surger

y.
San Francisco Chronicle (See recent Chronicle Records)
The cheap doctor claimed he ran the clinic along with another discount Bay Area physician
San Francisco Examiner
… 49, of San Francisco, impersonated a legally practicing Bay Area physician … extremely inexpensive liposuction procedure ended up with an infection and disaster for the patient. Death at times the final result.

It may seem tempting to go for plastic cosmetic surgery that is cheap, but cheap means corner cutting and corner cutting means death and disaster. We have seen it many time in out legal work. Beware. Cosmetic plastic surgery can kill you. It is real big time surgery. Do not choose fake, small time cheap doctors calling themselves surgeons. Make sure of the FACS and the ABPS certification and QuadAAAA OR certification. If you don’t know these terms call my office for information. 650-328-4570 Best, Dr C

Dr. Commons is the best in the business, and his pricing is very fair. You should see his portfolio! He’s got three decades’ worth of before/after binders in his office. He will tell you exactly what he can and cannot do. No slick Hollywood party surgeon here! Over a period of two years, he performed the following procedures on me: liposuction of the bilateral arms; liposuction of the abdomen, flanks and outer thighs; fat transfer to my (very gaunt looking) face; and a breast augmentation. Yes, it’s painful and the bills add up. It also takes several months to heal, esp. with lipo. But my results have been above and beyond expectation. I’m 49 but I look more like 38. To me, Dr. Commons is a miracle worker. I am more than happy to disclose my full name, and the Dr. may even show you my personal before/after pictures should you visit his office.Andrea R, Palo Alto CA.

What a Midface Lift Does

Commons — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:50:48 +0000

Midface Lift and Facelift

The Facelift can compliment the midface lift and the result is best with both. The midface refers to correcting the eyelid skin -cheek demarcation zone and hollowness. Young people do not have the demarcation and if they do it is higher. As we age the line between eyelid skin and cheek skin becomes more and more defined and we look hollow. So lift the cheek (midface lift). The nasolabilal area comes up with it. The fold by the nose decreases. The demarcation zone is diminished or removed completely. Fat is never ever removed but is transferred to needed areas of the orbit. Far transplantation from distant is a nick icing on the cake procedure to end the hollowness if needed. The line defining cheek and eyelid skin is gone. Go look in the mirror. You jowl and the sinking below your eyelid are the same defect and it is a defect of age usually. Look from lower lid to jowl and observe the same defect.Correcting this brings youth to your face. So the facelift and the midface lift do overlap and I think its best to do both together but if you had a facelift and need a midface lift now it is perfectly fine to have a midface. The trick is for you to understand what each does and why its successful. My Best, Dr Commons
