on ABC's 20/20, Tumescent liposuction is a surgical technique that
enhances the body's contour by removing excess fat. This technique
is considered the safest form of liposuction. It is performed in
the office using local anesthesia or light IV sedation. There is
minimal discomfort and blood loss, and recovery is quick. Most patients
are discharged approximately thirty minutes after the completed
procedure.
Liposuction is body sculpting. It is not a treatment for general
obesity. However, an overweight person with certain problem areas
of accumulated fat may be an excellent candidate for liposuction.
Areas that can be treated with liposuction include the chin, arms,
breasts, abdomen, back, hips, thighs, legs, calves, and buttocks.
Many men use liposuction for Gynecomastia (enlarged breasts), chin,
and love handles.

The
new CO2 skin resurfacing laser dramatically reduces and often removes
superficial and moderately deep wrinkles on the face. This laser
uses a very high energy beam to vaporize wrinkles, lines, and other
skin defects. Laser Skin Resurfacing is a safe and bloodless procedure
and can be performed in the office with local anesthesia. Postoperative
discomfort is usually mild and Dr. Mirabadi will be sure to keep
you comfortable both during and after your laser procedure.
The Effect: Reduces the signs of aging, scarring, and effects
of sun.
Gives the skin a fresh new appearance.

An injection
of a clinical formulation of botulinum A exotoxin (BTX-A) makes
it possible to immobilize selected muscles of facial expression.
Areas such as wrinkles, crow's feet, frown lines, forehead lines,
creases or dimples in chin, and horizontal neck lines can be successfully
treated by tiny injections, in the office with no anesthesia necessary.
Completed results will appear wi
thin 24 hours to 2 weeks. Botox
injections can be used in conjunction with facial resurfacing. Periodic
re-injection may be necessary.

Collagen
Injections, derived from purified bovine collagen, are one of the
top ten cosmetic procedures performed in the United States. It works
by replacing the collagen that the skin loses over time, giving
a more youthful appearance. It is a safe, effective, and imm
ediate
20 minute treatment for wrinkles, frown lines, and most scars. An
allergy test is required before collagen is injected.

One
of the main causes of aging is the apparent loss of fat in your
face. By using the Liposuction Technique, fat can be harvested from
one part of the body and then reinjected into another part of the
body. This is different from collagen because it is not a foreign
substance to your body; it will not be rejected by your immune system.
It is effective in reducing the signs of aging around the eyes,
mouth, cheeks, and other areas of the face. However, deep scars,
congenital deformities, and other postsurgical defects can also
be treated.

Gortex
implantsThis implant material, one of the most popular, can be used
for procedures on the nose, cheeks, chin, and several other areas
of the face. It is most useful enhancing the lips, filling in nasal
libial folds, frown lines, and deep folds under the skin. Because
this material has tiny pores, it will allow the tissue ingrowth
without forming the typical scar tissue encapsulation.
Allowing the implant material to become incorporated with the body
is a much more natural way. This is a permanent implant, but can
be completely removed as well.

Chemical
peels are done with TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) and are more effective
than those using glycolic acid or CO2 Laser Resurfacing. TCA removes
a thin layer of aged and damaged skin, allowing a new healthy layer
to grow.
Anyone
with wrinkles, laxity, pigmentation problems, belmishes, sun damage,poor
skin or simply the desire to look younger can benefit from this
30 minute procedure. Most people take 5 to 7 days to recover.

Blepharoplasty,
or Eyelid Surgery, can remove fatty bags under the eyes and excessive
skin from the upper eyelids. It can also correct sagging eyelids
and give a more youthful and energetic appearance. Recovery time
is about two weeks. Blepharoplasty can be done under local anesthesia
or light IV sedation and can be combined with other procedures such
as a brow lift, face lift or laser skin resurfacing.

Abdominoplasty,
or Tummy Tucks, is the tightening the abdominal wall muscles and
removing excess fatty tissue and skin in order to flatten the abdomen.
Recovery time varies but is generally within one to three weeks.
For those with excess fat below the navel, a Mini-Tummy Tuck may
be sufficient.
