The recovery after an upper blepharoplasty is very easy and uncomplicated. There is minimal swelling and bruising and Tylenol is usually sufficient to alleviate minor postoperative pain.  Patients are asked to use cold compresses on their eyelids for the first 24-36 hours after surgery and to avoid heavy bending and lifting for one week. While complications can occur following any surgical procedure, when upper blepharoplasty is performed by an experienced surgeon the likelihood of a serious problem developing is low.

Are you lids sagging and making it difficult to see?

Due to the effects of time, heredity, and environmental influences the upper eyelids can start sagging and become heavy.  As the lids progressively get heavier they can limit our ability to drive and conduct simple tasks of every day life.  I(n cases of functional impairment, a very straightforward and rather simple operation called an upper blepharoplasty can remedy the problem and lead to a much improved quality of life.

]]> The Importance Of Regular Facials https://bhpsg2.pulsechat.com/the-importance-of-regular-facials/ https://bhpsg2.pulsechat.com/the-importance-of-regular-facials/#respond Tue, 07 May 2013 20:28:11 +0000 https://www.beverlyhillsplasticsurgerygroup.com/blog/?p=1783 Many people believe they take great care of their skin and know exactly what is right for it. Many ask why should I pay someone to clean it for me? I wash my face morning and night and use all of the highest tech facial cleansing equipment and taking an hour out of my day is just too much time. However, getting regular facials is one of the best things you can do to help keep you and your skin looking young, fresh and rejuvenated. It is also important to understand what your skin type is, which a trained esthetician can teach you in order to know what products are really best for your skin. Professional facial treatments can be relaxing and rejuvenating, but also help set the stage for beautiful skin in the future. At BHPSG, our esthetician can provide a detailed and accurate analysis of your skin as well as create an appropriate treatment plan  with recommendations for your home care to enable you to meet your skin care goals. When getting regular facials, you will notice that your skin will look and feel better then it ever has and make up will go on more smoothly making you look better then ever before! Typically a facial deep cleans, exfoliates & nourishes the skin to promote a clear, well-hydrated complexion. On your initial treatment, our esthetician will start with a skin analysis and explain which treatment will be best for you. She will then proceed with an hour long treatment using Eminence products, a completely organic line, which has products that address all different types of skin conditions. During the deep cleansing portion of the facial, our esthetician will rid the skin of dirt, debris and environmental toxins, allowing the skin to fight off disease, aging and enable your skin to better absorb the products applied months after your facial. Next, our esthetician will exfoliate your skin which will also boost your skins ability to absorb products. Exfoliating the skin involves removing the oldest dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. During this process, steam vapor is directed at your face to help open up pores even more to loosen dirt in your skin. Opening up the pores also allows for easier extractions (removing blackheads and whiteheads). Once extractions are done, you will receive a facial massage and masque which will bring nutrients and moisture to the deeper layers of the skin and promote a healthy glow as well as detoxify and relax you. After a facial with our esthetician, you will leave the office feeling great about yourself with healthier more beautiful skin! Give us a call today and schedule your facial with Talia!

Think about this: the products you use at home touch your skin at least 2 times a day. That’s over 1,095 times per year-per product. Now think about this: your skin is your largest organ. It is responsible for 1/4 of your body’s critical elimination process. Your skin also absorbs about 60% of everything you put on it. This includes body lotions, shampoos, conditioners, shower gel, sunscreen-everything. I bring this up simply to bring consciousness to something that may be a very unconscious act for most of us– but with a repeated exposure of at least 1,100 uses a year- perhaps we should be aware of what we are filling our bodies with. Skin care is a vital step in overall health care. The job of your skin is to protect your vital organs, and when something is wrong with them, we will see it on the surface of your skin- like a reporter, reporting the internal news. At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group, we believe your products should increase your health & wellbeing. So we’ve carefully chosen and hand-crafted powerful products for the whole body to do just that. Did you know that many products and skin care devices on the market today are actually contributing to the aging process? If you’re curious about weather the products you’ve chosen for yourself and your family are right for you, call today and make an appointment with our skin experts. Our passion for ingredients and wellness will enlighten you- and help you make sure you’ve chosen products that will slow down aging and increase skin vitality– for your teens & little ones too.
