Eyelid surgery, also called ‘blepharoplasty,’ is performed to enhance the appearance of the eyelids by improving wrinkles or eyelid ‘bags,’ restoring a more youthful and refreshed look. Blepharoplasty removes or tightens excess skin, and removes or repositions fatty tissue of the upper and/or lower eyelids.

For the upper eyelids, the incision is placed within a pre-existing crease, and the resulting scar is often nearly imperceptible. For the lower eyelids, incisions may be placed just underneath the eyelashes, again resulting in a well-hidden scar. For those patients with prominent lower eyelid ‘bags,’ and milder wrinkling of the lower eyelid skin, a transconjunctival blepharoplasty may be used. This technique uses an incision on the inside of the lower eyelid, and leaves no external scar. Chemical peels or laser skin resurfacing may be added to tighten the lower eyelid skin and improve wrinkles.

Surgical techniques are individualized depending on the patient’s needs. Blepharoplasty is performed as an outpatient surgery, and most patients can return to work within one week.

Blepharoplasty may be combined with other procedures to enhance the overall result. In order to fully address the appearance of the eyelid areas (also called the ‘periorbital’ region), the position of the eyebrows may need to be improved using browlift techniques (also called forehead lift).

For blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills contact board certified plastic surgeon Dr. George Rudkin. 

Dr Saul Berger focuses on plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery procedures including liposuction and other reconstructive surgical procedures. Please contact us today to learn more about this procedure.

Patients who desire an liposuction in California usually are seeking to reduce the size of a protruding fat deposits throughout the body. Liposuction is best for individuals who are seeking to reduce fat deposits and are in relatively good health. Age is not a factor in liposuction, except that older patients' skin may not be as elastic and may not yield the same result as a person with more elastic skin. Eliminating these deposits may also affect an individual's confidence, leading them to seek their own liposuction in California.

A liposuction can help such individuals restore a thinner and fitter looking contour to their bodies. The specified portion of the body is made smaller to better match the shape of the patient. Dr. Berger in California accomplishes this by removing excess fat through a vacuuming procedure. This not only helps to restore the physical appearance of the patient, but also restores self-confidence and respect to the patient. Please contact Dr. Berger to learn more about getting a liposuction in California.

Liposuction is a very individualized procedure in which your goals should be realistically determined and discussed with your surgeon in California. Together you will determine what specific procedures will be performed. Liposuction is often performed in conjunction with other procedures such as abdominoplasty to achieve an effect that better matches the proportions of the body. Once your goals have been determined you will set a date for this procedure in California and will be given instructions about how to prepare.

When the date for your liposuction in California has arrived, you should plan on the surgery taking several hours or more depending on which procedures you are having performed. Several liposuction procedures are available which can vary in cost and amount of time required, and while the method may be different with each procedure, the underlying principal is still the same. A small incision is made so that a tube can be inserted to the lower layers of fat which are then vacuumed out of the body. Incisions are placed on the body to minimize visibility.

The basic procedure for liposuction in California differs from other procedures in that the newer procedures make the operation easier to perform and reduce the pain and discomfort that happens after the operation. One such procedure is an ultrasonic lipoplasty which uses ultrasonic energy to first liquefy the fat before it is removed. This tends to make the procedure easier to perform and the recovery process happens more smoothly.

Although newer procedures reduce the pain after the operation, some pain and swelling may still occur. Patients are usually mobile again after the procedure but it may take a few weeks before you feel completely normal again. Medications are available to further reduce the discomfort after the procedure. All procedures are performed with anesthesia to minimize any discomfort or pain.

In Miami, Florida, as well as in the rest of the United States and across the world, it is especially important to look your best. Abdominoplasty or "Tummy Tuck" is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the abdomen, as well as tighten the underlying musculature. An abdominoplasty from our Miami, Florida center will tighten stretched, wrinkled skin, creating a firmer, flatter abdomen and narrower waistline.

Protruding abdomens or those with loose, wrinkled, or hanging skin and fatty tissue, causes distress to thousands of people. Weak abdominal muscles, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and surgical scars can wreak havoc on our lower midsections. For many people, this area does not respond well to diet and exercise.

Abdominoplasty is not, however, a substitute for weight reduction, and it is not meant as a treatment for obesity. The ideal candidate for abdominoplasty has relatively normal weight with weak abdominal muscles and excess skin and fat of the lower abdomen. Loss of skin elasticity, which frequently occurs with slight obesity in older patients, or extreme fluctuations in weight, can result in loose, stretched, hanging skin, as well as fat in the lower abdomen. These conditions can be improved with this procedure. If stretch marks are a problem, only the marks on the excess or hanging skin will be removed. Abdominal wall hernias and/or abdominal scars can sometimes be complicating factors that may also be corrected during abdominoplasty surgery in Miami.

Otoplasty is a general term for cosmetic surgery of the ears, but more specifically for a procedure that pins the ears closer to head when they unpleasantly “stick out.” Many people experience this condition. In childhood ears that “stick out” can be psychologically traumatic for the individual, specifically through grades 1-5 as other children “tease” the child incessantly. By age 6 the ears have grown almost to adult size and surgery to improve the situation can be performed at this time.

The most common reason to for “big ears” is excess cartilage tissue. During the operation this cartilage tissue is removed or modified in order to make the ears appear smaller and closer to the head. In childhood, cartilage is more easily shaped than in adulthood. In adults the operation is carried out in a similar manner, but the cartilage is usually stiffer and has more of a tendency to return to its original state after surgery. Adult patients need to understand and accept these facts.

He specializes in procedures relating to otoplasty including procedures such as face lifts, breast augmentation, nose jobs, liposuction, and tummy tucks.

  Sometimes simply dieting and exercising are not enough to take care of waistline problems. In such cases, a patient may wish to consider a tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty). A tummy tuck is the surgical removal of excess skin or fatty deposits from the abdomen, along with the repositioning of abdomen muscles into a tighter formation. This bodily enhancement procedure is designed for those who wish to have a flatter and tighter stomach. It is also helpful in remedying the vertical separation of abdomen muscles known as diastasis, which can occur following pregnancy.

Reasons for Considering an Abdominoplasty:
* Inability of dieting and exercise to improve the abdomen area.
* Excessive accumulation of skin following weight loss.
* Loss of skin elasticity or diastases (loose abdomen muscles) due to pregnancy.
* The removal of unsightly skin and fat deposits as well as the proper alignment of the abdomen muscles to produce a more flattering look.

General Procedure
Abdominoplasty surgery lasts anywhere from one to five hours, depending on the desired look and the patient’s unique physiology. To begin the procedure, an incision is made just above the pubic bone area. This incision goes horizontally across the lower abdomen and sometimes around to the back. The skin is then stretched away from the muscle tissue, and excess skin is removed. The abdomen muscle tissue is tightened to provide a firmly contoured stomach and well-defined waistline. Finally, the incision is closed; and the skin is stitched back into place. Sometimes the procedure requires an additional incision around the navel in order to provide the best results.

Recovery Process
Generally, post-operative instructions call for plenty of rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing process and recovery time. As the body recuperates, the patient can expect some swelling, pain, and discomfort. Medication can be prescribed to relieve any pain caused by the procedure. The stitches will be removed shortly after the surgery depending on the procedure(s) involved. Normal activities can generally be resumed within two weeks. It may take up to a year for the body to completely adapt to the new abdominal configuration. With proper diet and exercise the striking results of the surgery will be long lasting.
