Cosmetic Surgeons

Breast Augmentation in Phoenix is a cosmetic procedure that uses implants to enlarge the shape of the breasts. It is designed to increase the size of small or underdeveloped breasts. Surgery can also restore and enhance your breast volume if it has decreased as a result of having children. This procedure is performed by placing the implant behind the existing breast tissue and/or the pectoral major muscle. The method of inserting your implant will depend on your anatomy and your surgeon’s recommendation. The incision can be made either in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola, or in the armpit. Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence.

You may be a candidate for a facelift if you have sagging skin or wrinkles in the area running from your nose to you mouth, your cheek or jowl area. Loose skin and wrinkles in the neck area may also be an issue that bothers a facelift candidate. Dr. Kearney will examine your hairline during your consultation to help determine incision placement, as well as discuss procedures that are often performed in conjunction with a facelift such as an eyelid lift or brow lift. Dr. Kearney almost always includes a neck lift when performing facelift procedures. A neck lift can be done as a separate procedure in select candidates.

Dr. Kearney makes the incisions within the hairline and following the natural contour of inside and around the ear. Excess skin and tissue are pulled up and back and then removed. Dr. Kearney’s facelift tightens not only the excess surface skin, but the underlying muscle as well. After surgery, incisions usually fade to nearly unnoticeable or can be hidden by the hairline. Dr. Kearney prefers his facelifts be performed under local anesthesia with light sedation or general anesthesia if the patient prefers. You may go home the same day. Most patients return to work about 7-10 days following a facelift and are back to normal activities within 3-4 weeks.

Serving the cosmetic surgery needs of Southern California communities such as San Diego, La Jolla, Del Mar, Encinitas and beyond, Dr. Kearney is also a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE?
If you consider your chin small, you may benefit from surgery. Having a larger (or “stronger”) chin can help balance one’s appearance, creating equal weight in the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face. It can offset the prominence of a large or even medium-sized nose. Enlarging the chin can also make the neck look longer and more graceful, and this can be a helpful addition to a facelift when there is blunting of the angle between lower neck and the under-chin region.

WHAT CHANGES CAN BE EXPECTED?
The chin will protrude further from the face. In some people this can make a substantial change in their overall facial appearance. The hollow between the lower lip and the chin may become deeper.

HOW IS CHIN AUGMENTATION DONE?
There are two ways: 1) A plastic implant can be placed via an incision under the chin or one in the mouth. 2) By way of an incision in front of the lower teeth, the bony chin can be cut free from the lower jaw and slid forward. This is a way of using the body’s own tissues to produce the desired change. Either way,the operation is usually done under general anesthesia.

AFTERCARE
Tapes are placed around the advanced chin for a few days. Mild narcotics are given for pain, usually for 3 or 4 days. If there is a wound in the mouth, you will be on a liquid diet for two days and then soft foods for a few days.

Facial cosmetic surgery takes many forms. Many men and women desire facial procedures aimed at facial rejuvenation such as eyelid surgery, facelifts and neck lifts. Others seek a change in the size or shape of a specific facial feature that has always bothered them such as their nose, ears, or chin. Non-surgical procedures are also available to minimize fine lines and wrinkles and to maintain a youthful appearance.

Face Lift - also known as Rhytidectomy, smoothes the loose skin on your face and neck, tightens underlying tissues and removes excess fat. It can be performed with other facial procedures such as Blepharoplasty and brow lift to maximally enhance ones appearance. Frequently these procedures are done in combination, as the affects of aging are universal on the face and eyes. As a result, your face will appear younger.

Brow Lift - can minimize some of the most visible signs: drooping eyebrows, “hooding” over the eyes, forehead furrows and frown lines that come with age. With a brow lift, the muscles and skin that cause the problems are removed or altered to smooth the forehead, raise the upper eyelids and minimize frown lines. The result can be a more alert, youthful appearance.

Eyelid Lift - or Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower lids smoothing and rejuvenating the eye area. It can also correct a drooping upper lid or raise a drooping lower lid. The result is a more alert and rested appearance.

Nose Rhinoplasty - can enhance the shape, size and general appearance of your nose. One that fits your face and achieves a harmonious balance with your other facial features is desirable. If you feel that your nose is not a good fit, you may benefit from cosmetic surgery of the nose.

A Forehead Lift is recommended if you have a sagging forehead or brows that hang too low and too close to your eyes. If you have deep vertical furrows between the eyebrows (frown lines). This procedure will create a more youthful and rested appearance to the forehead and upper eyelids.

This procedure is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Several short incisions are placed in the hairline. The operation is done using an endoscope (a narrow, hollow instrument with a fiber optic light source and camera, through which the procedure is done with small special instruments). The forehead skin is lifted and repositioned. The muscles that cause frown lines are weakened. Additional procedures that may enhance the result are Lower and/or Upper Eyelid Lift, Face Lift, or other facial procedures or implants.

Patients who desire a breast reduction in Valencia and beyond may have symptoms caused by the excessive weight of large breasts. Breast reduction can usually solve these problems as well as improve the size and shape of your breasts. Following breast reduction your breasts will be more proportional to the rest of your body, and clothes will fit you better. This may boost an individual’s confidence and is often what leads people to seek breast reduction in Valencia.

Breast reduction can be performed at almost any age, but plastic surgeons usually recommend waiting until the breasts are fully developed. Childbirth and breast-feeding may have significant and unpredictable effects on the size and shape of your breasts. Nevertheless, many women decide to undergo breast reduction before having children and feel that they can address any subsequent changes later. Please contact Dr. Hu to learn more about getting a breast reduction in Valencia.

During the complimentary consultation with Dr. Hu, you will be asked about your desired breast size as well as anything else about your breasts that you would like to see improved. This will help your plastic surgeon to understand your expectations and determine whether they realistically can be achieved. Once your goals have been determined and realistic expectations have been discussed you will set a date for this procedure in Valencia and will be given instructions about how to prepare.

When the date for your breast reduction in Valencia has arrived, you should plan on the surgery taking several hours or more. The most common method of reducing the breasts involves three incisions. One incision is made around the areola. Another runs vertically from the bottom edge of the areola to the crease underneath the breast. The third incision follows the natural curve of the breast crease.

After Dr. Hu, plastic surgeon in Valencia, has removed excess breast tissue, fat and skin, the nipple and areola are shifted to a higher position. The areola, which in large breasts usually has been stretched, also is reduced in size. Skin that was formerly located above the nipple is brought down and together to reshape the breast. Liposuction may be used to improve the contour under the arm. Usually, the nipples and areolas remain attached to underlying mounds of tissue, and this allows for the preservation of sensation. All procedures are performed under general anesthesia to minimize any discomfort or pain. Please contact our office to learn more about a breast reduction in Valencia.

It is important to follow any instructions your physician, Dr. Hu, may give you following your breast reduction in Valencia. Patients should be aware that soreness will be present after the operation and that moderate to heavy physical activity following the operation should be avoided for a period of time.

This plastic surgeon can help you to achieve your goals. Dr. Hu specializes in procedures relating to plastic surgery including procedures such as face lifts, eyelid lifts, forehead lifts, breast augmentation, breast lifts and reduction, rhinoplasty, ear pinning, liposuction, tummy tucks, arm lifts, body lifts and chemical peels.

Plastic Surgery employs many creative techniques, each chosen to help address a particular area of concern. For example there are at least five different procedures to improve the look of the eyelids. Which technique is selected depends on the individual’s anatomy and their desired appearance. For every area of the body, there are many techniques available so that each procedure performed is really an individualized solution for that particular person. There is rarely any one best technique for everyone. The best technique is the one that produces the desired look safely, reliably and beautifully for that person.

After surgery, each patient receives Dr. Anthony’s personalized attention all the way through the recovery process. After the recovery process, Dr. Anthony can recommend a maintenance program to help you keep looking your best.

Procedures For Men

You may be a candidate for eyelid surgery in San Francisco if you have excessive, sagging, or wrinkled upper or lower eyelid skin. Eyelid lift can also be helpful if you have excess upper eyelid skin that interferes with vision or if you have lost your natural upper eyelid crease. Eyelid lift may also be indicated if you have puffy pouches of fat in the upper or lower lids that create a tired or aged appearance. The eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) procedure is intended to produce a more youthful and rested appearance of the eyes. The procedure may also widen your visual fields if excessive upper lid skin has partially blocked vision. Blepharoplasty is done on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. The incisions are made where the natural crease should be in the upper lids and below the lash line in the lower lids. Excess fat and skin are removed. If only excess fat is present in the lower lids, it may be removed through an incision inside the lower lids with no external incision or scar (transconjunctival blepharoplasty).
