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
Author: tjacksonMar 16
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.

Breast Reduction in Santa Monica
Author: tjacksonJan 29
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.

As we age, the eyebrows begin to shift downward from the inexorable pull of gravity. The Tissues around the mouth roll inward forming the Nasolabial Folds (fold from the corner of the nose to the mouth) and the Jowls (fold from the corner of the mouth to the jaw). Similar aging and tissue shifting occurs in the neck where tissues slides towards the midline accumulating under the chin. Reversing the signs of facial aging used to mean some type of open facelift. Although the facelift still remains the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, clearly there are many individuals seeking a more youthful appearance who do not need a facelift. The Thread Lift and Suture Suspension Lifts are a great way to roll back the clock and look years younger with a minimally invasive procedure.
Rhinoplasty can be performed to alter nasal size or shape whether it is traumatic or genetically acquired. Unattractive nasal features such as a wide bulbous tip, wide nasal bridge, large dorsal hump, malformed/asymmetric tip, crooked nose, or a deviated septum causing breathing problems are readily correctable. Even in the case of prior surgery, the nose can most often be substantially softened and the overall shape vastly improved.
Contact Dr. Palmers office today for your consultation. His friendly staff will set you up with an appointment, and ease your mind of any questions you may have.

Facial Surgery in Santa Monica
Author: tjacksonJan 27
Facial rejuvenation includes both surgical and non-surgical options with the goal of achieving natural and pleasing results. Simple preventive steps can help delay the appearance of aging and improve surgical outcomes at any age. Facial rejuvenation and enhancement in the male patient is different than in the female patient. Often, techniques that are commonly utilized in women cause an unnatural and feminine look in the male patient.
A neck lift is a very individualized procedure in which your goals should be realistically determined and discussed with your physician in Santa Monica. Together you will determine what specific procedures will be performed. A neck lift is often performed in conjunction with other procedures such as a face lift and chin augmentation to enhance the balance of the patient’s facial features. Once your goals have been determined, you will set a date for this procedure in Santa Monica and will be given instructions about how to prepare.
Forehead lift is often performed in conjunction with a facelift to provide a smoother overall look to the face. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may also be performed at the same time as a forehead lift, especially if a patient has significant skin overhang in the upper eyelids. Sometimes, patients who believe they need upper-eyelid surgery find that a forehead lift better meets their surgical goals.
No matter what procedure you decide on, you can expect fantastic results by choosing Dr. Nabavian as your Plastic Surgeon. Contact his office today, to be on your way to a younger more youthful look.
