How Does the Sun Change My Skin?
 "Sun exposure causes most of the skin changes that we think of as a normal part of aging. Over time, the sun's ultraviolet (UV) light damages the fibers in the skin called elastin. When these fibers break down, the skin begins to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to go back into place after stretching. The skin also bruises and tears more easily, taking longer to heal. So while sun damage to the skin may not be apparent when you're young, it will definitely show later in life."

Fat Grafting Breast Enhancement

Fat Grafting

The cosmetic treatment many women have dreamed of -- taking the fat from their hips and thighs and redistributing it into their breasts. Pacific Cielo can use the fat from your own body, and strategically place it into your breast. Breast enhancement using fat grafting (lipoaugmentation) rather than silicone or saline implants employs fat suctioned from the patients fatty areas. This type of breast surgery can be used to increase the size of the breast, or to fill in defects or abnormalities in existing breasts. Enhancing the appearance after breast reconstruction and softening the look of existing implants. Lipoaugmentation of the breasts may offer patients permanent breast augmentation with a natural look and feel with the benefit of body contouring through liposuction -- without the requirement for incisions or implants.

 

Fat Grafting Breast Enhancement Candidates

 

Currently, fat transfer to the breast is considered an option for women who want to improve the appearance of their breasts whether it is to enlarge or to lift sagging tired breasts. Lipoaugmentation is also a great way to repair implant-related issues like rippling, wrinkling, and can also be used to soften the overall look of existing breast implants by "blurring" the line between implant and breast tissue. Potential candidates must also have adequate fat harvesting sites on their body.

 

Fat Transfer to the Breast: The Procedure

 

Fat transfer to the breast involves two distinct procedures: harvesting and injecting.

The fat cells are acquired through liposuction. Once harvested through a syringe, the cells are processed for transplantation. This involves removing anesthetics, lipids and medical fluids from the fat. The goal is to obtain healthy fat cells devoid of other tissue, which increases the likelihood of successful cell transfer and reduces the chances of injecting unwanted substances with the fat. The healthier and more pure the injected material, the greater the yield of viable fat cells.

 

After processing, the fat cells are carefully injected. These injections are very small and precise in their positioning. There are a few areas that the injections can be made, your doctor will decide the best action according to the specific needs of your body. The injections can be made in the space between the skin and the breast capsule surrounding the breast and/or behind the breast between the breast and chest wall. This meticulous technique enables our plastic surgeon to sculpt the breasts as desired.

 

Breast shaping andaugmentation with fat grafting provides a more natural aesthetic result for patients. It is also more natural for your body with no chance of rejection, for instance,

 

an implant. The placement of the fat grafts allows for dramatic or subtle shaping of the breast in a manner previously not attainable. This type of shaping is extremely difficult, time consuming and impossible with implants or surgery. The result is a natural appearing reshaped breast in which telltale signs of implants and surgery are absent - the resultant breast is completely fluid and natural appearing.

2012 Most Popular Cosmetic Procedures

By: Pacific Cielo Surgery Center

Most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in 2012

 

The 2012 National Totals for Cosmetic Procedures, hot off the press from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), answers an interesting question: "What cosmetic procedures do Americans think are important enough to invest hard-earned dollars in?"

Breasts regain their number one status: 
Breast augmentation has regained its status in 2012 as the leading surgical procedure in the United States after slipping back into second position in 2011. This is no surprise; today's low cut and scooped out tops demand attractive cleavage. Also, we offer noninvasive breast augmentation with fat grafting. Women have traditionally favored silicone, but now fat transfers offer a natural look and feel. There were 369,928 breast augmentations performed in 2012 compared with 316,848 in 2011.

Last year's frontrunner, liposuction or liposculpture, had 313,011 procedures in 2012 compared with 325,332 procedures in 2011. Americans used noninvasive technologies to get rid of unwanted pockets of fat in 2012.

The face is up front and center
: You can't ignore the face when Facebook, LinkedIn and a million and one dating sites put it...in your face. The facelift went from 116,086 procedures in 2011 to 119,006 procedures in 2012. This growth is especially significant when you consider the huge proliferation of noninvasive injectable, laser and other skin tightening procedures we have been spending money on. Botox is still the leader of the pack, skyrocketing from 2,619,739 procedures in 2011 to 3,257,913 procedures in 2012. 

Rhinoplasty aka "the nose job" also had a healthy increase, from 126,107 procedures in 2011 to 143,801 procedures in 2012. But otoplasty (ear surgery) also increased. Both rhinoplasty and otoplasty procedures made headlines in 2012 when some parents agreed to allow their children to undergo these procedures so these children would not be bullied.

The "stronger" sex: 
Men are not only removing body hair, they are also paring down their overdeveloped breasts. Gynecomastia (male breast reduction) had significant growth, from 17,645 procedures in 2011 to 22,736 in 2012.

Weight loss-related surgeries: 
With the growing phenomenon of bariatric surgery and the extreme skin laxity that follows dramatic weight loss, body contouring surgery shows steady growth. Lower body lift rose from 9175 to 10,119, abdominoplasty rose from 149,410 surgeries in 2011 to 156,508 surgeries in 2012, upper arm lift rose from 18,709 to 22,969 and thigh lift from 13,878 to 16,517.
 These are just some of the cosmetic procedure statistics that are making news. For more information please call our office at 858-756-5678 or visit our website at www.pacificcielo.com.

Not Only Look, But Feel Your Best This Summer

By Dario Moscoso

According to a recent report from USA Today, new research conducted by the RAND Corporation shows a dramatic increase in the number of American adults battling obesity. Roland Sturm, a lead author of the study states “obesity is going up very fast,” with severe consequences for quality of life, health and medical costs. Most overweight and obese individuals are aware that diet and exercise are critical for overcoming obesity. But for some, liposuction plastic surgery can be an effective complement to healthy lifestyle choices. Liposuction targets stubborn fat, curbing obesity and improving health while also enhancing one’s overall appearance in the process. As with any plastic surgery procedure, however, it is important for patients to discuss liposuction with an experienced surgeon before undergoing treatment.

Benefits of Liposuction

Liposuction is a safe, effective procedure that removes fat and temporarily reduces cellulite for improved patient health and overall appearance. By eliminating excess fat, liposuction aids in weight loss – one of the best strategies to reduce risk for heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. In addition, liposuction can be used to reshape and rejuvenate the contours of the body for a more balanced and streamlined physique, while also reducing the appearance of cellulite for smoother, younger-looking skin. Surgical fat removal is ideal for patients who have tried and failed to lose weight or eliminate fat in certain parts of the body through diet and exercise. By combining a healthy lifestyle with liposuction surgery, patients can achieve the body of their dreams.

Liposuction Surgery at Pacific Cielo Surgery Center

Choosing to undergo liposuction surgery is a big decision, and one that no patient should make without first consulting a board certified plastic surgeon, getting to know that surgeon’s office staff and location, and feeling comfortable with expertise and quality of care available for their procedure. At Pacific Cielo Surgery Center, patients are our first priority, and we invite anyone interested in liposuction or any other cosmetic procedure to visit us at our elegant Rancho Santa Fe surgery center for a complimentary consultation and tour. Our talented surgeons and friendly staff are dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible plastic surgery results – and to making you feel completely comfortable and relaxed in the process.

Non-invasive and minimally invasive plastic surgery procedures are among the most popular options for prospective cosmetic surgery patients. Compared to conventional plastic surgery, these treatments are generally quicker and more affordable, with less downtime and effective results. In addition, advances in biologic medicine have made it possible for experienced surgeons to offer all-natural treatments with no synthetic compounds or fillers. With summer drawing near, now is the ideal time to take advantage of summer promotions and get ready for the holidays with safe, effective and all-natural cosmetic surgery.

Many patients may be familiar with minimally invasive procedures like dermal fillers, laser skin treatments, peels and microdermabrasion. But when it comes to the latest in biologic medical technology, other options – including platelet rich plasma (PRP) and fat injection – can also be performed using the patient’s own cells for a natural alternative. As noted in past columns, PRP (also known as the “Vampire Facelift”) combines the power of the body’s own healing and regenerative compounds with the skill and artistry of cosmetic plastic surgery for firmer, younger-looking skin. Meanwhile, facial rejuvenation from fat injection and fat transfer achieves the refreshed, youthful look that many strive for without the removal of skin or the potentially unnatural appearance after a facelift.

At Pacific Cielo Surgery Center, we offer both of these innovative, minimally invasive treatments in addition to more conventional fillers, facials and surgical procedures. We are committed to providing the best possible service to our patients – and that includes all-natural alternatives. Each and every one of our plastic surgery patients receives a complementary, custom consultation to help determine the optimal course of treatment. And right now, with our summer promotions going strong, there has never been a better time to see what plastic surgery at the hands of our skilled and experienced surgical team can do for you.

Vampire Face Lift

     Biologic medicine is a field of treatment in which patients’ own tissues are extracted, carefully manipulated and then reintroduced into the body to effect natural results using the body’s own healing power. After years of study, physicians have developed several new cosmetic procedures using biologic medical principles to naturally enhance appearance and reduce visible signs of aging. The “Vampire Facelift” is one such procedure, in which surgeons use Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in patients’ own blood to regenerate skin for incredible – and completely natural – anti-aging effects. As popular interest in both plastic surgery and all-natural treatment options continues to build, biologic medical procedures like the Vampire Facelift present a safe and effective alternative to conscientious consumers – all while using the body’s own healing mechanism to rejuvenate the skin and beautify the body.

     In recent news, Hollywood star Kim Kardashian received a Vampire Face Lift to rejuvenate her skin for a younger, healthier look. A gift certificate for the Vampire Face Lift was also included in the Academy Awards “Swag Bag”.

     Pacific Cielo Surgery Center offers state-of-the-art procedures including the Vampire Face Lift. For more information or to schedule a completmentary consultation, please call our office at 858-756-5678 or visit our website at www.PacificCielo.com

PRP Rejuvenates Beauty and Helps to Treat Pain

At PacificCielo Surgery Center we create standards for Platelet Rich Plasma(PRP) protocols, preparations and techniques that serve the needs of our patients in providing the best results.

We have developed guidelines to assist in performing safe therapies of these procedures. Platelet Rich Plasma is playing a prominent role in Cosmetics, Aesthetics, Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, where the procedure is widely used among professional athletes to accelerate the natural healing process after injuries.

In recent years, PRP have been used in the Aesthetic field, as an accelerator of the healing process, aiding in aesthetic procedures like Laser Resurfacing & Skin Rejuvenation.

Great results have been shown in the Aesthetic aspect such as:

▪     Crinkling skin around the eyes.

▪     Cheeks and mid face.

▪     Neck.

▪     Jawline.

▪     Chest and décolletage.

▪     Back of hands and arms.

▪     Most body areas.

▪     Stimulates hair growth on scalp.

 

Because the goal of PRP therapy is to resolve pain through healing, it could prove to have lasting results. Initial improvement may be seen within a 4 to 6 weeks, gradually increasing as the healing progresses. Research studies and clinical practice have shown PRP therapy to be very effective at relieving pain and returning patients to their normal lives. The need for surgery can also be greatly reduced by treating injured tissues before the damage progresses and the condition is irreversible.

There is an extensive history in the use of PRP for pain management dating back to 1987 for cardiac surgery. PRP has been used over the past ten years in the musculoskeletal field, with publications by orthopedic surgeons—including randomized clinical trials in repairing:

▪     Tennis elbow.

▪     Achilles tendon.

▪     Plantar fasciitis.

▪     Anterior cruciate ligament.

▪     Rotator cuff.

▪     Lower back pain.
