Have you lost weight and now have skin sagging from your arms? If so, there is now a relatively simple outpatient procedure that can rid the extra skin and sag and get you back to wearing your sexy sleeveless outfits.

The arm lift or also referred to as brachioplasty is simply tailoring of the upper arm skin.  This skin laxity can appear with aging or massive weight loss and can give what is sometimes referred to as a “bat wing” appearance.

The procedure requires creation of an incision that is hidden when the arms are down from the armpit to the elbow, depending on the degree of skin laxity.  The loose excess skin is marked for removal, and any fat attached to the area of skin that is to be removed is also removed in the process.

The happiest patient after surgery is the person who has a large amount of excess skin. For patients with minimal skin laxity and only excess thickness or fat, there are other options that would not require a long incision such as liposuction or Cool Sculpting.

This is because the disadvantage of having the scar still outweighs the appearance of the excess skin. If your “bat wings” are holding you back from your sleeveless attire, please give us a call for a consultation @ (310) 275-6600

There are many horror stories as to why people have developed this so called unwanted dimple from steroid shots at the dentist to kenelog at the dermatologist but the final result is always the same- an unwanted and unsightly depression in the area of injection.

Often times, depending on the degree of fat atrophy aka dimple, the area fills in over time and there is no need for additional care or treatment.

However there are many instances that the depression worsens and/or never corrects itself and treatment is necessary.  There are many so called options to treat this iatrogenic problem but the treatment of choice and standard of care is fat transfer.

Depending on the size of the depression, fat transfer is a very safe and effective method of restoring lost volume whether in the face, arms, buttocks or legs.  Usually one session is sufficient and the procedure is tolerated very well under local anesthesia.

We routinely use adipose derived stem cells or fat transfer or grafting in cosmetic surgery for buttock augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift), breast augmentation, and most routinely for restoring facial volume as the “Stem Cell Lift”.

If you are one of the many that has had a large or small depression caused by a simple steroid injection and it has not improved, please call us for a consultation at (310) 275-6600

TCA peels, Tricholoroacetic acid, can be used in varying strengths depending on each patient’s skin condition, with the most common being 20%. The TCA peel is great for surface wrinkles, superficial blemishes, and pigmentation problems. TCA can be used on the face, under eyes, as well as other areas of the body such as hands, forearms, and chest. The TCA peel removes the top most layers of skin on the face ridding it of dead and old skin leaving behind refreshed and rejuvenated skin. The TCA peel can produce considerable improvement in skin collagen and elastin, reducing facial wrinkles, scars, and discoloring. The TCA peel can:

• Smooth out fine facial wrinkles
• Reduce any lip creases, crow’s feet, and forehead lines
• Reduce of lesions or scarring
• Remove freckles, age spots, and any unwanted pigmentation
• Fix pimples, acne, black heads, and clogged pores
• Restore skin from years of sun exposure
• Lighten the skin

It is necessary to do some preparation for the TCA peel in order to help it penetrate deeper, giving longer lasting results. Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Layke will prescribe a Triluma cream to be used daily to prep your skin. The TCA peel, while it may only take a few minutes to apply, will have long lasting effects. After your treatment, it will be important to keep your skin hydrated for the first 4 days. Your skin will darken as it dries and will begin to peel after approximately 48 hours. It will take approximately one week for your skin to fully peel and during this time it is important to not pick or pull at the skin as it is peeling as this could cause scarring or other discoloration. You should avoid sun exposure during the process and wear sunscreen daily. If you need a recommendation for good, protective sunscreen we have many options that we sell at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group. After you are finished peeling, overtime your skin will continue to improve and show the great effects from the peel. The TCA peel can be repeated every 3-6 months for optimal results.

Xeomin has made its return and we are happy to announce that we are offering treatments again for wrinkle correction and prevention with this product that is comparable to Botox

What is Xeomin?  And why use Xeomin and not Botox or Dysport?  Xeomin is in the same class as Botox and Dysport- “Neurotoxins”.  Xeomin is a Clostridium botulinum type – A neurotoxin complex. Clostridium botulinum toxin type A is a bacterial toxin that prevents nerves from functioning normally (a neurotoxin).  It prevents nerves from releasing a chemical called acetylcholine, which is essential for the nerves to communicate with muscle cells.  This toxin therefore prevents muscles from receiving nerve stimulation.  This it is useful for treating conditions where excessive nerve stimulation to muscles is causing abnormal muscle functioning or spasms.  Xeomin is specifically indicated for medical treatments for adults with cervical dystonia to decrease the severity of abnormal head position and neck pain in both botulinum toxin-naïve and previously treated patients and for the treatment of adults with blepharospasm who were previously treated with onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox).

On the cosmetic side,  it is observed that it takes about one week for the full effects of Xeomin injections to be realized, and once this occurs, the results seem to last from 2-4 months.  Xeomin injections can treat frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet around the eyes.  The treatment itself is very quick and can be done during a lunch hour with no evidence that anything was done.

After treatment, it is advised that a patient not lay down flat or exercise for 2-4 hours after injection to avoid product migration.

Xeomin is best for treating or preventing the following:

• frown lines (otherwise known as the “11” inbetween the eyebrows)
• forehead lines
• crow’s feet (lines around the outer corners of the eyes)
• bunny lines (nose scrunching lines)
• corners of the mouth
• to balance brow positioning
• smokers lines
• to narrow a wide jawline and/or  square face
• a gummy smile
• teeth grinding
• wrinkled and dimpled chin
• excessive sweating (known as Hyperhidrosis)

If the word “Botox” is in your vocab but the word “Dysport” you’re unfamiliar with, that certainly will change for you very soon. “Dysport” will become a very fluent term as the high demand for its use continues to climb.

Dysport is a prescription injection, administered by Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Layke, both skilled and reputable Plastic Surgeons at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group. It is used to improve the look of your moderate to severe frown lines without drastically changing the look of your entire face, yet profoundly rejuvenating your appearance.

How is Dysport like Botox?

Both Dysport and Botox are Botulinum Toxin A, a derived protein that works by relaxing targeted muscles. The differences seen and reported in the literature include a faster onset and a more affordable price than Botox. The difference in using Botox vs. Dysport is mostly known by the treating physician as these products are diluted and dosed differently.

Dysport has been used in Europe for many years and became available for cosmetic use in 2002 in the USA via Medicis, the makers of Restylane and Perlane.

So, why choose Dysport?

If it is so that the effects take quicker and last longer than Botox, we think that’s a fair enough reason. And saving a little bit more money doesn’t hurt either. In short, it is great to have another option and we are always looking for something better for our patients.
