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
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
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.

We combine medical expertise and state-of-the-art equipment with a charming setting in the midst of Cielo Village for an unparalleled level of patient luxury.

Summer Promotions at Pacific Cielo
Summer Promotions at Pacific Cielo
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.
Seize the start of summer with promotions at Pacific Cielo
For a limited time, PacificCielo Surgery Center is offering 75% off on liposculpture, as well
as special summer pricing on PRP, skin tightening and the full menu of
additional procedures.
Tucked away in the tranquil
Cielo Village in Rancho Santa Fe and appointed with the latest technology and
spa-style interior design, Pacific Cielo is the perfect place to escape,
indulge and rejuvenate the body and mind as summer draws to a close. For more
