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

Candidacy for Breast Augmentation

Dr. Motykie will review your medical condition, physical anatomy, and personal cosmetic goals to determine if you are a good candidate for breast augmentation plastic surgery. He may recommend this procedure if you are looking to:

• Correct micromastia (or naturally small breast condition)
• Add proportion to the breasts to complement a curvy lower body
• Increase breast size and volume to restore fullness after pregnancy
• Improve breast symmetry
• Address tuberous breast deformity
• Reconstruct the breast after a mastectomy
• Boost your physical appearance and enhance self-confidence

Breast Implant Options

More women are now choosing breast augmentation because the quality and range of breast implants has significantly improved. Dr. Motykie will help you personalize your new look using the right type, size, shape and profile of implants. Whether you wish to have attractive curves, enhance your cleavage or need a more natural looking breast appearance, there is an option that will be just right for you.

• Implant Type: Dr. Motykie will offer you silicone, ultra cohesive silicone or gummy bear, and saline implant options.
• Implant Size: Breast implants may be available in sizes ranging from 120 cc to 900 cc and you can choose according to your anatomy and personal goals.
• Implant Shape: Breast implants are usually available in round and conical or tear shape. With a skilled procedure from Dr. Motykie, you can look natural with both options.
• Implant Profile: If your body frame is petite, Dr. Motykie may recommend higher profile implants to help you achieve a substantial size increase.

Minimal Scarring with Advanced Incision Techniques

Dr. Motykie has years of experience and cutting-edge surgical skills to ensure that your post-operative scarring is minimally visible. He will use advanced surgical techniques and place the incisions in discreet locations to keep the resulting scars inconspicuous.

When he uses the inframammary technique to perform your breast augmentation cosmetic surgery, Dr. Motykie will create a short incision in the breast crease (the inframmary fold). The resulting scar will be small enough that can be easily hidden within the breast crease. With this technique, Dr. Motykie is able to place even large sized silicone implants with precision in a less invasive manner.

In some cases, Dr. Motykie may create an incision around the areolar edge so that the resulting scar is merged within the natural pigmentation transition. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for breast implant surgery.

The fat cells that are eliminated with liposuction plastic surgery usually do not return in most cases. The body will not produce new fat cells as long as the patient maintains a stable body weight after lipo, or even puts on a moderate amount of weight over the years.

The adult human body cannot usually manufacture new fat cells. Therefore, patients who undergo liposuction will experience permanent fat loss, and the fat cells that are removed from a specific site will not regrow.

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

Fat Cell Growth with Significant Weight Gain

In case the patient puts on a moderate amount of weight in the years after liposuction surgery, the remaining fat cells in the treated sites will merely grow larger. They will collect more fat within the existing cells membranes.

But if the patient puts on a substantial amount of weight (for instance, ten percent of the body weight or more), there may be new fat cells development in various areas of the body. This could potentially include sites that have been previously treated liposuction surgery.

If an adult puts on a comparatively large amount of body weight, it will lead to an increase in the number of fat cells (lipocytes) that would be formed from the existing pleuripotential connective tissue cells via a process of differentiation. This process involves the existing connective tissue cells initially changing into immature fat cells (called lipoblasts).

After that, the lipoblasts will slowly develop into mature fat cells at the patient gradually puts on weight. But comparatively lesser fat would accumulate in the liposuction treated areas.

Therefore, the patient may still experience the body shaping benefits of liposuction to a certain extent, even if they put on a large amount of weight.

Safe Volume of Fat Cell Reduction with Liposuction

An experienced plastic surgeon would take a conservative approach to fat elimination with liposuction. The safe fat removal limit with liposuction in a single treatment session ranges between six to eight pounds or around three to four liters. This may differ slightly depending on the patient’s body weight, health, fat deposit accumulation, and other factors.

In case more fat is eliminated in one session, it could present a higher risk of complications for the patient. Certain patients may need more fat removal than six to eight pounds. The plastic surgeon may recommend liposuction in two to three phases for such patients.

They would space the liposuction sessions at least one month apart. Every phase would be undertaken as a separate liposuction cosmetic surgery.

Cosmetic Limitations with Excessive Fat Removal

Other than the health risks with excessive fat removal, the patient will have a higher probability of developing sagging or loose skin, dimpling, and folds in the treated sites. In case the fat deposits have been present for an extended period in a specific site, they could cause the skin to stretch permanently and lose elasticity.

If a significant amount of fat is eliminated from the site, it will cause the site to deflate, and the skin may sag. Such patients may need to combine liposuction with a breast lift, lower body lift, or tummy tuck depending on the treated site.

For nearly three decades, liposuction has continued to rank among the more popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the US.

Liposuction is designed to improved body contours in targeted areas by eliminating excess fat tissue deposits, which are stubborn and resistant to diet or exercise.

Patients often ask whether liposuction can also help them lose weight, and to what extent. During the initial consultation, the patient should feel free to ask questions of this nature, and make an informed choice after getting complete clarity on what liposuction can or cannot do for them.

A dedicated surgeon will provide transparent information to the patient on these issues and help them make the right decision. Cordial board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie MD provides liposuction to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and other towns and suburbs in this region of the country.

Fat Loss vs. Weight Loss Procedures

Many patients are unclear about the difference between fat loss and weight loss procedures, and consider them to be synonymous.

However, a fat loss procedure focuses selectively on the removal of unhealthy, exercise and diet resistant fat cells in certain pockets of the body, which may be causing unsightly bulges and compromising the overall body contours.  

A weight loss procedure, on the other hand, is designed for overweight or obese candidates who may also be suffering from excessive weight related medical issues such as hypertension or diabetes. Bariatric surgery is an established medical procedure to address the needs of people who want to reduce a significant amount of body weight.

Liposuction, as opposed to bariatric surgery, is a fat loss surgical procedure that can be performed on one or more areas of the body to improve contours. Advanced techniques have made liposuction a less invasive body contouring surgery today. Unlike weight loss procedures, liposuction does not require a patient to undergo a major diet plan.

Liposuction Makes You Look Slimmer  

Liposuction is aimed at reshaping the body through fat loss, but it is not a weight loss procedure. Patients should note that weight loss may relatively easier to achieve through diet and exercise, but stubborn fat deposits in certain areas are harder to remove even with a strict diet and lifestyle regimen.

The aesthetic effect of enhanced body contours with liposuction is that a person will appear naturally slimmer. This could give an appearance of weight loss, even though it is actually loss of unwanted fat cells.

Fat Loss is Permanent

While patients should not expect a dramatic reduction in body weight with liposuction, they can be sure that their fat loss will be permanent. In an adult, the fat cells once eliminated will not re-grow. However, if the patient puts on more weight over the years, their figure could become a larger version of their new body shape achieved through liposuction.

This can happen because the remaining fat cells in the body will grow in size if body weight increases. Therefore, to achieve long lasting and best possible aesthetic benefits with liposuction, patients should try to maintain a balanced diet and active lifestyle in the long run.

The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) reports an increase in the number of men seeking plastic surgery.

According to a June 2017 survey, men attested to being “extremely likely” to consider a cosmetic procedure. A little less than half stated that they want to undergo a procedure to feel more confident. Another quarter said they sought to “look younger” to remain competitive in their workplace.

Experts explain that while various procedures remain largely similar when performed on either sex, the nuances of the procedures differ dramatically between men and women. For instance, rhinoplasty seeks to enhance the form and function of the nose regardless of the patient’s gender.

The techniques used to attain a masculine and refined nose vary vastly from those used to achieve a feminine and beautiful nose structure. This makes it vital for men to identify a plastic surgeon with experience in administering procedures on males.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie MD provides a wide range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.

What Men Want

The ASAPS released statistics from 2017 earlier this year which indicated that the most sought-after surgical procedures for men are eye-lift surgery, liposuction, tummy tucks, breast reduction, and face-lifts.

Analysts indicate that in the past five years, there has been a 23 percent rise in liposuction and a 12 percent rise in abdominoplasty in men as well as a 30 percent rise in male breast reductions.  

Older men tend to seek more minimally invasive procedures for the face to appear younger. On the other hand, younger men focus more on improving the appearance of their bodies.

Almost 100,000 men received filler injections in 2017 which is a 99 percent increase since the year 2000. Botox injection use among men has quadrupled in the same period.

The premium on youthfulness at the workplace has led to an increase in male plastic surgery as well.

Rhinoplasty for a Masculine Nose

A 2016 report from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery indicates that elective rhinoplasty (nose job) is one of the most sought-after procedures by men. There are no standard procedures to make a nose appear manly and attractive as an appealing nose is proportional to other facial features, and this proportion will differ between men.  

In general, a manly nose is not too small but straight and refined. It is always important to find an expert surgeon. But in the case of rhinoplasty, it becomes even more crucial.

Jaw Enhancement Surgery

Many men are seeking a stronger and better-defined jawline, especially if they exercise routinely. This can be achieved through dermal fillers or jaw implants.

Dermal fillers comprise hyaluronic acid (a natural compound found in the human body) and are injected into the treatment areas in the face. These fillers sustain for about six to nine months depending on how fast the body breaks down the HA.

Conversely, implants are permanent, but the process is more invasive. The surgeon places a tiny incision on the inside of the cheek (inside the mouth to make scarring inconspicuous) and inserts a small implant in the patient’s jaw. At times, jaw implants are placed along with chin implants to square out the entire jawline.

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.
