Liposuction Plastic Surgery by Dr. Gary Motykie

Liposuction Plastic Surgery

shutterstock_126247211 In the hands of a well-qualified, considerate, and judicious surgeon, liposuction is a very safe, proven, and logical surgical procedure. It can effectively eliminate stubborn, localized fatty pockets that are unresponsive to exercise and diet alone.

According to Dr. Motykie, his women patients should aim to “keep the curves and get rid of the bulges” when seeking liposuction.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie MD provides liposuction to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

Common Sites for Liposuction

Patients commonly seek liposuction in the following areas:

Outer Thighs

Fat deposits in the outer thighs are also known as “saddlebags.” Women commonly experience stubborn fatty deposits in the outer thighs.

Inner Thighs

Women seek liposuction in the inner thighs to create the “thigh gap” which means that the inner thighs do not touch or rub against one another.

Anterior Thighs

This area is treated to ensure that it blends with the inner and/or outer thighs to attain a proportionate leg contour.

Waist/Flanks

This area is also known as “love handles.” Stubborn fat on the waist is a standard problem in men. This area tends to spill out over the top or jeans of a waistband causing a “muffin top” appearance in women.

Hips

This is the region that lies right beneath the waist toward the upper, outer buttock area. It is vital to shape this area appropriately in women to create the appearance of a rounder and well-contoured butt as well as a voluptuous, feminine figure.

Abdomen

The patient usually receives upper and lower abdomen liposuction simultaneously to attain a smooth blending of the middle abdomen region.

Back

Patients commonly receive liposuction in the back as the skin in this region is usually quite thick and forgiving.

Upper Arms

A reduction of fat in the upper arm area leads to the posterior upper arms remaining tauter and better defined with the passage of time.

Neck

Excess fat in the neck area can make a person appear older than their years as well as overweight. If the patient receives liposuction in this area, it can help them appear much fitter and younger.

Chest

The chest area is a common site for liposuction for aging men as this region tends to become full and flabby with age. Women undergo liposuction as a type of “scar-free” breast reduction.

Types of Liposuction

Tumescent Liposuction

The tumescent approach to liposuction involves infiltrating significant amounts of fluid with diluted quantities of the medicines lidocaine and epinephrine into the fatty tissues before administering liposuction. This fluid is delivered in the treated areas as a numbing agent as well as to minimize the risks of bruising and bleeding during and after the liposuction surgery.

Laser or Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction

Laser liposuction, also known as SmartLipo, involves the use of laser energy to liquefy fat to make its removal less traumatic.

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) utilizes ultrasonic wavelengths to render the fat into a liquid state before its elimination with surgical suctioning. The surgeon will insert the specialized ultrasound cannula after the infiltration process of the tumescent liquid.

The prospect of the breasts looking fake or artificial is a common concern that surgeons hear from potential breast augmentation patients.

But patients can be assured that developments in breast augmentation techniques and devices have made it possible to attain natural looking breasts.

Kind board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie MD provides breast implant surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and other cities and neighborhoods in this part of nation.

Following are some suggestions on how to choose natural-looking breast implants:

Tip #1: Assess the Look and Feel of the Breast Implants

Breast implants are available in round and teardrop (anatomical) shapes. Round implants offer the same amount of projection on the top as well as the bottom. Teardrop implants provide more projection on the bottom in comparison to the top.

Teardrop implants are more suitable if the patient seeks natural-looking results as these implants are similar to the natural slope of the breast tissue. The implant filling also affects the appearance of the implants.

In comparison to saline implants, traditional silicone and gummy bear implants (highly cohesive silicone implants) move and feel more like natural breast tissue. The patient will have a chance to feel and hold each implant type during the pre-op consultation.

Tip #2 Selecting the Correct Implant Size

The cosmetic surgeon takes the patient’s measurements either during the consultation or at another appointment for sizing.

These measurements will help the surgeon determine the most suitable implant size for the patient depending on their body mass, frame, and available breast tissue. Furthermore, the patient may also be able to try on different sized implants to understand how the breasts will appear after the enhancement surgery.

The most likely reason for implants appearing unnatural is the patient selecting an implant size beyond the surgeon’s recommended range. The surgeon recommends the implant size range based on the patient’s measurements and choosing implants sized above this range will make the implants appear disproportionate to her body.

The patient may also be able to “try on” implants of various sizes via an implant sizer.

Tip #3: Evaluate the Existing Breast Tissue and Skin Quality

The surgeon will assess the patient’s bust size, availability of breast tissue, and skin elasticity during the pre-operative consultation process. These are significant factors as they affect which implant size will appear most natural. The placement of oversized breast implants with insufficient skin available to cover them can produce artificial outcomes.

Tip #4: Employing Digital Imaging Technology

An exciting development in the field of breast augmentation is the use of digital imaging technology. Several cosmetic surgeons make use of this innovative technology to showcase potential outcomes to patients. The surgeon will take images of the patient’s breasts and upload these photos on a computer to enable her to see how her breasts will look with different sized implants.

Tip #5: Choose an Expert Plastic Surgeon

Choosing a well-qualified, honest, and experienced breast augmentation surgeon is an excellent way to ensure natural-looking outcomes. The surgeon should be very experienced in breast enhancement procedures and possess a proven record creating aesthetically appealing and successful outcomes.

Focused cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie MD receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and other neighborhoods and towns in this region of the state for breast augmentation surgery.

Cosmetic surgery procedures have become increasingly popular in recent years. Many people now understand that plastic surgery is a science capable of enhancing a person’s beauty.

The primary goal of such surgery is to make changes to an individual’s body parts for a more appealing appearance.

Although it is true that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, but interestingly, the geographical location of a person also seems to impact their preferences in the field of plastic surgery. The popularity of various cosmetic procedures differs widely in various parts of the country according to new research by the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS).

Board certified plastic surgeon and devoted Dr. Gary Motykie MD provides various cosmetic and reconstructive procedures to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations and towns in this part of the state.

Regional Choices

Buttock implants are very popular in the southeast while Midwesterners seek lip reduction, elaborates the study. Hair transplantation is huge in the south, but northeasterners are highly interested in male breast reduction procedures.

In the body-obsessed west, home to Hollywood, breast enhancement is the most sought-after procedure. But as regional contrasts indicate, the removal of breast implants is prevalent in the south.

But why do these variations exist? Surgeons explain that weather, technology, and culture are the most significant factors influencing decisions on the choice of cosmetic surgery procedures. This can be better understood by considering the desire for larger breasts.

Climate Makes a Difference

In warmer climates such as in southern California and glorious Florida, people are exposed a lot more. When you are that exposed, there is substantial pressure to look appealing.

But this idea receives a lukewarm response in business-friendly Ohio. The reason could be that since people in the Midwest are bundled up for most of the year due to a colder climate, they are not as conscious of their bodies as people who want to spend a large part of the year on a beach or live close to a beach.

This does not mean that people in Ohio are not interested in looking good. But they don’t have to look attractive all year round as people in California and Florida need to due to a warmer climate which leads to more exposure.

Certain cosmetic surgeons report that their female patients want a more natural appearance. This leads them to undertake more reduction procedures for the breasts. Patients typically seek something that looks natural but still allows them to be comfortable and look amazing in swimwear.

Corporate Culture Influences Decisions

Breast augmentation does not even feature in the top five most sought-after procedures in some colder northeastern cities. In contrast, male breast reduction is the most sought-after surgery among northeasterners.

The northeast has a significant corporate culture, especially among men. These corporate high-fliers want to feel very confident in a formal workplace setting as some experts elaborate.

In the south, where business is booming, hair transplantation is big, while it doesn’t make it to even the top five in other regions. Broadly, the west, northeast, and south have more cosmetic surgery in comparison to the Midwest and southeast.

Revanesse Versa

Revanesse Versa derma filler before after photo Dermal fillers, particularly the ones that contain hyaluronic acid, offer a range of possibilities for facial anti-aging without the risk of allergies. These fillers can plump, augment, and lift facial areas that are deficient for a sleeker and more contoured visage.

The newly launched hyaluronic acid-based filler, Revanesse Versa, provides a significant benefit over some of the established and proven injectables available today. The unique characteristic of Revanesse Versa is that it does not lead to nearly as much inflammation after the injection as other fillers do.

Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic and succesful surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie MD provides Revanesse Versa filler to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

FDA Approved Filler with Unique Technology

Revanesse Versa received FDA-approval in 2017 and was launched in January of 2018. It is based on a specialized and highly controlled wet milling technology which is the process used in creating the gel. The gel is pressed through a series of screens which leads to consistent particle size, shape, and an overall smoother solution.

Less Inflammation, Less Downtime

Versa is well-balanced and consistent in its composition for more even results. A key benefit of Versa’s spherical molecules is that they lead to less inflammation. Clinical trials indicate that Versa displayed 24 percent lesser swelling in comparison to other fillers.

This is a significant advantage for patients as less inflammation means less downtime for them. Theoretically, the tiny and uniform spherical molecules encourage optimal integration into the tissue. This makes the body less likely to detect it as a foreign material.

Quality Control

Revanesse Versa derma filler before after photos Revanesse Versa undergoes intensive lab testing prior to distribution. Each syringe is also assessed individually to ensure that it is effective and safe. The manufacturer opines that the production of smaller batches provides the patient with higher quality and fresher products.

Vera addresses moderate to severe wrinkles and lines. The sustainability is on par with other hyaluronic acid fillers when administered correctly in suitable patients for the right indication. Until today, 1 million syringes of Revanesse Versa have been sold globally with no reported cases of granulomas or nodules.

Natural Looking Outcomes

Revanesse Versa is distinct from various other hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers due to its innovative formula, quality ingredients, and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques.

Versa filler gel is very uniform because of the use of the advanced wet milling technology and its proprietary formulation. This implies that the particles of the filler gel are uniquely spherical and consistent offering an optimal balance between volume and smoothness for homogenous and natural looking outcomes.

Higher Longevity

Revanesse Versa’s spherical particle shape allows it to be more readily accepted by the body. The gel breaks down gradually over a period in the deeper tissue layers. To enhance the long-lasting effects, Versa contains superior quality hyaluronic acid with a significantly higher molecular weight.

Proven Reduced Swelling

According to recent research, other leading HA dermal fillers displayed 24 percent higher inflammation and swelling than Versa. Lesser swelling with Versa enables patients to resume their routine almost instantly following the treatment session.

Accomplished and cordial Dr. Gary Motykie MD receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and other cities and towns in this area of the southwest for Revanesse Versa injectable filler.

Medical Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery Tummy tuck surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure to enhance the abdominal contours. But latest research shows that tummy tuck may also have certain medical benefits.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motyie MD provides tummy tuck surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and neighboring communities in this part of the southwest.

Research Study

According to new research published in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery can treat back pain and urinary incontinence after pregnancy.

The study comprised of 214 women who were receiving abdominoplasty with muscle repair at 9 distinct surgical venues in Australia. Prior to the surgical procedure, every patient was asked to evaluate the frequency and degree of their back pain and urinary incontinence.

More than 50 percent of the women stated that they experience moderate to severe back pain. Slightly less than 50 percent reported that urinary incontinence was a major concern.

In the follow up after the surgery, conducted at the 6-week as well as a 6-month mark, just 9 percent of the women stated moderate back pain as being an issue. Furthermore, less than 2 percent attested to urinary incontinence still being a problem.

Medical Advantages of Abdominoplasty

Some of the key medical benefits of a tummy tuck include:

Reduction of Stress Urinary Incontinence

Post-vaginal birth, certain women can develop Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), a bladder control condition associated with uncontrollable leakage caused by sneezing, coughing, exercising, or laughing.

In a majority of cases, SUI does not require surgery. In case the patient needs more care, various research studies have shown that a tummy tuck can help in recovery, specifically in patients that have not undergone a caesarian section. During the surgical procedure, the surgeon develops a slight bladder obstruction using soft tissue near the pelvic area. This helps in reducing incontinence.

Enhanced Abdominal Tone and Better Posture

Following extreme weight loss or many pregnancies, stomach muscles can expand. In such a case, diet and exercise alone cannot address the condition. An abdominoplasty surgically tightens lax muscles, while eliminating surplus skin and fat, to provide the abdomen with a flatter appearance.

Weak muscles in the abdominal area are frequently associated with lordosis or sway back. Following a tummy tuck, patients may experience a significant improvement in their posture.

This occurs due to the tightened muscles offering better support to their spine. The enhanced support and better posture can be advantageous for relieving specific types of back pain as well.

Ventral Hernia Correction

A ventral hernia happens when the abdominal or intestine tissue breaks through the abdominal wall and develops into a pocket or sack. There are various possible reasons for this occurrence such as abdominal weakness due to considerable weight loss or surgical procedures like appendectomies or C-sections.

The underlying symptoms that warrant a ventral hernia correction are surprisingly similar to those for a tummy tuck. Both surgical procedures treat lax muscles in the abdomen and pressure on the skin. Regardless of the reason, whether weight or pregnancy, a weakened abdominal wall enable a hernia to develop.

After the patient develops a ventral hernia, it is can very easily occur again. The surgeon will weigh the advantages of combining a tummy tuck procedure with the hernia repair to provide more strength to the abdominal wall and prevent this condition from occurring in future. Combining these two procedures is safe as well as practical, and can reduce medical costs and healing time.

Dr. Gary Motykie MD receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and other neighborhoods and cities in this part of the country for tummy tuck.

It is important for a patient to be healthy and relaxed before a mommy makeover surgery. Nutrition and fitness should be part of an ideal preparation for the procedure as it should throughout one’s life but certainly during this moment in time.

Precautions to be Taken

The patient should also stop the use of any herbal and vitamin E supplements as well as blood thinning medications. Patients may have to alter the schedule of any prescribed drugs in consultation with the physician. These preventive measures may have to be in place for about two to four weeks.

Practical Arrangements

For safe healing, the patient is required to spend a few days at home to recover after the surgery. Therefore, working women should apply for about one or two weeks of leave prior to the procedure. Even those who are not working should be prepared mentally to stay home and minimize social engagements during the early healing period. Transport arrangements from the surgical facility to home as well as aftercare should also be planned well in advance.

In order to ensure that the patient is not put under any undue stress during the post-operative healing phase, she should completely pressing household tasks well before the surgery. A ‘recovery kit’ may be prepared in advance, which would include various handy items that the patient will need during the initial recovery phase. These would typically include:

Antibiotics and any prescription drugs
Ice packs
Over the counter pain medication
Bandages
A set of pillows to keep the head elevated
Comfortable, button-down garments

A Day before the Surgery

Before the mommy makeover surgery, it is important that the patient thoroughly washes the hair, for it will help reduce the risk of infection during the surgical procedure. At least for 48 hours before the surgery, she should avoid alcohol consumption. In order to feel well-rested, the patient should have a good night’s sleep before the surgery.

On the Day of the Surgery

The patient and her attendant should have an idea about how long the surgical procedure would take. Thereafter, the patient will be moved to an observation area for a couple of hours before she is allowed to return home. After the procedure, the surgeon or their staff would also provide a detailed list of recovery instructions to the patient’s attendant, friend, family member, and/or spouse before they leave for their home.

Mommy Makeover Surgery Risks and Safety | Beverly Hills Surgery Mommy makeover involves a combination of two or more cosmetic surgery procedures designed to restore a mom’s pre-pregnancy figure. Like any other surgery, a mommy makeover will have certain risks associated with it. During the initial consultation, the surgeon will apprise the patient of the potential risks and benefits.

The first goal of a responsible surgeon will be to provide transparent information to the patient on all aspects of the surgery, and help her make a well-considered decision. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie MD provides mommy makeover to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

New Medical Research on Safety of Mommy Makeover

Many women are under the impression that a major procedure such as a mommy makeover will have higher risks than a single body contouring surgery. However, researchers now have more reassuring news for patients. Several recent research studies have demonstrated the safety of multiple cosmetic procedures when performed in a single operation.

One of the studies published in the pre-eminent medical journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery examined a consecutive series of 415 tummy tuck procedures. Out of these patients, 151 combined their tummy tuck surgery with a breast surgery. The researchers found no increase in the complication rates in that group.

According to the lead author of that research project, “This landmark study supporting the safety of combined plastic surgery operations should come as reassuring news for patients who desire more than one procedure and a single recovery period.”

Common Risks

While the safety record of mommy makeover is high as long as it is performed by an experienced and preferably board certified plastic surgeon, some of the risks that are typically associated with any surgery are also to be considered in case of a mommy makeover. The typical risks include:

Infection
Bleeding
Blood or fat clots
Deep vein thrombosis
Adverse reactions to anesthesia
Hematoma or other fluid accumulation
Nerve damage
Unfavorable scarring
Changes in skin pigmentation
Asymmetry
Need for revision surgery

Scarring Risks

An experienced surgeon will make use of common incisions to perform multiple procedures in a mommy makeover as far as possible. This will help minimize subsequent scarring. However, some scarring is still inevitable in any surgery, including a mommy makeover.

A few visible marks will remain, particularly if the procedure involves a tummy tuck or another extensive surgery. A skilled surgeon will place the incisions in discreet locations to minimize the visibility of scars.

How to Reduce the Risks

To begin with, the patient should ideally choose an experienced plastic surgeon who is also board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The patient should be prepared to diligently follow the surgeon’s pre- and post-operative care instructions.

She should avoid smoking, eat a balanced diet, get plenty of rest after the surgery, take the antibiotics and other medications as prescribed, and wear the compression garments to support healing and produce enhanced aesthetic results. Tremendous and sagacious Dr. Gary Motykie MD receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas in this section of The Golden State for mommy makeover.
