Breast Augmentation Long Beach

jenn — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 21:11:36 +0000

Breast Augmentation is performed to enhance breast size for women who feel their breasts are disproportionately small for their figures, have decreased in size as they have gotten older due to changes in weight or pregnancy and nursing, or to correct a severe breast asymmetry. Breast Augmentation is arguably the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure performed in the Untied States today. In some cases the breast augmentation procedure is performed on its own, but in other cases it may be paired with other procedures such as a breast lift to both lift the breasts to a more youthful positioning as well as increase their size.

The breast augmentation procedure is customized by a number of factors and there are many decisions to make in your journey. The most important decision you will make, however, is deciding who will be performing the procedure. The first step in any cosmetic surgery process is scheduling a consultation—during your consultation Dr. Hicks will ask you about everything from your medical history to your concerns and goals to help determine the best procedure plan for you.

Brow Lift Long Beach

Brow Lift is a procedure that is designed to enhance the appearance of the forehead by smoothing out lines, creases and lifting a heavy or sagging brow. As we get older we all notice those little signs of aging starting to show up in our face—for each of us it may occur in a different place. The brow is often one of the first place we notice signs of aging either because of the expressive nature of our personalities, genetics, or lifestyle. A sagging brow that is heavily creased can not only make us look older than we are, but more worn out and run down than we wish to project to the world.

The Brow Lift procedure is performed under either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. The incision is made one of a couple ways depending on the amount of rejuvenation required, but is hidden behind the hair line. In some cases patients may choose to combine the Brow Lift with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as an Eyelid Lift or Facelift. If you are interested in learning more about your facial rejuvenation options and to find out if a brow lift may be right for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Hicks today.

Botox Long Beach

Botox is a popular cosmetic treatment to reduce common signs of aging such as lines and creases caused by repetitive facial movement. All through out our lives we are constantly expressing ourselves through facial expressions and these expression leave lines and creases in the face that not only can make us look older than we are or wish to be perceived as, but can make us look more run down and worn out than we feel. The Botox treatment takes just minutes to administer, is virtually painless and requires no recovery period afterwards. Both men and women use Botox to achieve a natural looking facial rejuvenation and because it takes just minutes to administer it is easily scheduled into a busy life.

Botox may be performed in combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as Dermal Fillers, which are also administered by injection but unlike Botox, Dermal Fillers address areas of the face that are showing signs of aging due to a loss of volume. If you aren’t sure the best method for achieving your aesthetic goals, the first step is to schedule a consultation. During your consultation with Dr. Hicks you will discuss your goals and concerns to create the best plan for achieving your unique goals.

As we get older we all start notice those common signs of aging in different places. For many people the delicate skin around the eyes is often the first area they see lines, creases, puffiness, drooping and bags. These common aesthetic eyelid complaints not only prematurely age us but can make us look more sad or tired than we feel or care to project. Through Blepharoplasty, Dr. Pearlman Hicks has helped many men and women achieve a rejuvenated eyelid appearance to make them look more well-rested, alert, and youthful. Blepharoplasty may be performed on the upper and/or lower eyelids.

Ideal candidates for a Blepharoplasty procedure are in good health with realistic expectations for the procedure and it’s potential outcome. In most cases, patients are 35 years old or older, but some younger patients may have eyelid drooping or bags due to genetic predisposition.

If your best diet and exercise efforts have failed to achieve the desired results and you’re still struggling with the same stubborn pocket of fat that you just can’t seem to fix, liposuction may be right for you. Liposuction is a procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from a specific area of the body.

Liposuction may be performed on virtually any area of the body from the mid-section to the thighs, the arms to even the neck and cheeks.

The Rhinoplasty is a procedure designed to improve the appearance of the nose. Many people struggle with the size or shape of some aspect of the nose that they were born with, while some people may have become dissatisfied with the appearance of their nose after an injury or trauma. The Rhinoplasty procedure, also called a Nose Surgery or Nose Job, has helped many men and women achieve a more balanced facial harmony. Rhinoplasty may correct a bump or indentation in the profile of the nose, may correct the size or shape of the nose or nostrils, and address issues of the width or direction the tip of the nose is pointed in–each rhinoplasty procedure is unique to the patient who gets it. Dr. Hicks works with the patient to learn their goals and concerns and determine the best procedure plan for them.

Breast Enhancement Long Beach

jenn — Sun, 11 Feb 2018 17:14:26 +0000

Breast Enhancement, or breast augmentation, is a procedure that is used to help women achieve fuller breasts and the body proportions they desire. Some women have been unhappy with the small size of their breasts for their whole life and feel self-conscious about their appearance, and have difficultly finding clothes that fit how they would like them to. Some women were previously happy with their breast size, but after fluctuations in weight or after pregnancy and nursing, find that their breasts have decreased in size. In some cases, breast enhancement may even be used to correct a severe case of breast asymmetry.

Breast enhancement surgery is performed with several different variations depending on each individual patient’s goals. Breast implants are filled with either a saline solution or silicone gel and come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and textures. It is important to be well informed on your options to know which is going to be best for you.
