The spread of social media has led to the proliferation of the social media influencer. These ambitious and largely nomadic men and women have figured a way to build their audiences by posing for sexy photos and videos. And audiences eat it up, lavishing likes on their favorite influencers by the dozen. The more likes an influencer gets, the more clout they have, and more money they can earn. With the use of photo filters and media editing apps, people of all ages and walks of life can look like movie stars and get paid handsomely for it.
To an influencer, image and perception are everything, and filters can only do so much. To create a picture-perfect image, many social media influencers are seeking out cosmetic surgery.
Cosmetic procedures has become widely accepted for its ability to reverse aging, improve bodily contours, and rejuvenate the skin. These are the very qualities social media influencers are interested in, which is why the following ten cosmetic procedures have become more popular than ever.
A majority of these cosmetic procedures involve the face, which is no accident. According to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), the demand for preventative and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures has increased out of the desire to create the perfect selfie.
Rhinoplasty is surgery that can repair nasal deformities. Patients with nose insecurities can experience a boost in confidence after a rhinoplasty procedure. The technique has been one of the gold standards in aesthetic surgery for decades. Even slight tweaks can create drastic changes to someone’s face from the front and side view.
A facelift procedure can correct facial skin that has begun to sag, droop, or wrinkle. Facelift surgery can make fine lines and wrinkles disappear while rejuvenating the face and neck. This technique has drastic effects on the face from all angles.
A brow lift smooths out the area above the eyebrows and below the hairline. A beneficial aspect of this cosmetic procedure is that any scarring that results from the incision is concealed within the hair. The results make the individual appear youthful and well-rested.
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that corrects defects around the eyes. The surgery works specifically to diminish the effects of droopy or saggy eyelids. These effects are caused by a deterioration of the supporting tissues due to age. The eyelids are among the first parts of the body to show age due to the thinner aspect of the eyelid design. As we age, our eyelids make us look overworked and old beyond our years. Blepharoplasty can make you look youthful and rested.
The cosmetic surgeon performs this technique by removing excess fat and skin from the eyelid region. Both men and women can benefit from this procedure. This cosmetic procedure can have a drastic effect on your appearance and can significantly boost your self-esteem.
Everyone wants beautiful skin, but more and more people are looking for techniques that don’t require extensive plastic surgery. This had led to a boom in the market for non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments used to preserve or restore one’s youthful appearance.
Modern medical technology has improved to give people what they want. One exciting option for skin rejuvenation is CO2 fractional laser resurfacing.
Laser technology is the new and exciting trend for rejuvenating skin treatments. Laser resurfacing can reach depths 10 times greater than standard chemical peels or microdermabrasion treatments!
CO2 Laser Resurfacing is used to correct the signs of aging, tone issues, and texture concerns on the skin. The procedure, which is non-surgical, is effective for treating pigmentation problems, wrinkles, fine lines, and even acne scars. CO2 laser resurfacing stimulates collagen production, which rejuvenates the skin. The effects make the skin look tighter and healthier for a youth-providing effect.
The cosmetic surgeon uses a precise beam of light to treat the upper, damaged layers of facial skin. The laser utilizes a pulsing effect, which provides high-intensity light energy directly to the problem area. The searing heat from the beam encourages cell regeneration while the precise nature of the laser allows the surgeon to aim at exact locations, targeting red spots, brown spots, and other skin imperfections.
The tool that powers the CO2 laser can be modified to administer mild or more aggressive treatment to the skin, depending on the severity of the condition. The surgeons can best perform this cosmetic non-surgical procedure on patients with light-toned skin. Though it is not considered surgery, there is some downtime, with swelling and discomfort sure to diminish within two weeks.
Renuvion is a technique that uses radiofrequency energy to gently contract the tissue beneath the skin. The energy beam is precisely targeted. You can use it as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with another surgery like liposuction.
The beam is composed of helium plasma combined with radiofrequency energy. The mixture of the two elements (called J-Plasma) heats the collagen and other tissue structures, causing the skin to contract. What’s unique about Renuvion is that the J-Plasma is applied, then the area is cooled quickly. It will make this cosmetic treatment a fast and simple method for attaining tighter, younger skin.
While you will notice some instant effects from your Renuvion treatment, the true results of the procedure will present themselves over the span of six to nine months. Renuvion is considered a game-changing technology and the anti-aging effects can last for years into the future (with proper skin maintenance).
You may be familiar with Botox, but that is only one type of injectable neurotoxin. By injecting a botulinum toxin into specific areas around the body using a microneedle, you can relax certain muscles, which create desired effects. The injectable neurotoxin can smooth away fine lines and wrinkles, but did you know you can also stop excessive sweating and migraines? For social media influencers, the ability of injectable neurotoxins to create a smooth and radiant appearance makes this the ideal cosmetic treatment for capturing the ideal selfie.
Facial fillers are non-toxic substances that can add volume to the face and other parts around the body. The jawline can be made more masculine or feminine, and chins can be made to look more pronounced. The surgeon will also use fillers to combat the effects of aging when skin and muscle deteriorate over time.
With facial fillers, there is little to no downtime. You may experience swelling and soreness at the injection site for a short time though.
Traditional liposuction is a body contouring procedure that has been listed among the most popular cosmetic procedures for many years. The younger generations are realizing the ability of lipo to sculpt the body and develop contours that don’t require image trickery or Photoshop.
Liposuction gives patients curves as nature gave them to you. The surgeon can use lipo to remove fat from key locations around the body, including the chin, neck, hips, thighs, calves, ankles, buttocks, abdomen, and upper arms. Virtually everywhere.
Traditional liposuction extracts the fat using a thin hollow tube known as a cannula. By inserting the cannula through tiny incisions, the cosmetic surgeon suctions out the excess fat. The fat cells are permanently removed, but your weight must still be maintained. You will notice some results of the lipo procedure right away. However, the true results will be visible in the upcoming weeks after your swelling has gone down. That’s when you’ll notice your slimmer waist, narrower hips, or more sculpted arms.
While liposuction is effective for body contouring, Hi-Definition Liposuction is more geared toward “body etching”. VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance, which is a fancy term for ultrasound energy. By wielding a handheld device, the surgeon uses the intense beam of sound energy to break up fat cells, making them easier to remove.
Whereas traditional liposuction is designed to extract the deepest layers of stubborn fat, HD Lipo works on superficial fat. You know, the last five pounds you absolutely cannot lose in the gym without extreme dieting. VASER liposuction also allows your body’s musculature to show through, giving you a toned or ripped appearance after one or several sessions.
Traditional lipo requires a few weeks of downtime and recovery while HD Lipo has a much easier recovery period by comparison. Both techniques are favorites of cosmetic procedures influencers who want that little extra help getting their bodies beachwear ready.
The increased use of Instagram and Snapchat filters, and editing apps like FaceTune, allow anyone to manipulate photos with a simple drag or tap of a finger. While these apps can give you clearer skin, improved bone structure, and thinner hips, the editing and our perception of the effects can lead to what experts have called Snapchat Dysphoria. People who exhibit symptoms of this disorder begin to seek out cosmetic procedures that may replicate their favorite photo filters.
However, cosmetic surgery can only do so much. It’s also important to remember that photographs are not the most accurate depictions of what we look like. Dwelling on how we look in certain photographs can cause you to over-scrutinize the way you look in real life. This gives no mention to the fact that angles, lighting, and the quality of the camera can all affect how a photograph turns out. Cosmetic surgery can give you better skin, a smaller waist, and a more angled chin. However, your expectations must remain within the confines of reality.
You will discuss your expectations during your consultation with your cosmetic surgeon. The surgeon is going to want to know that your expectations coincide with what can be achieved realistically with surgery. The surgeon also wants to confirm that you’re not following a trend. Trends can go out of style. Breast implants have always been popular but in the past women wanted the largest implants they could find. These days the trend is to go for smaller, more realistic breasts.
Trends can change but if you have good self-esteem, that lasts forever. It’s acceptable to change things about yourself – to give yourself more radiant skin or a smaller nose. However, don’t try to compare yourself to others and never try to replicate another person’s appearance. Be yourself! Feel good about the skin you’re in. Choose cosmetic surgery if it will lead to a better quality of life and improve the way you feel about yourself. But always consult with a cosmetic surgeon before making any major aesthetic decisions. Meeting with a doctor face-to-face is the best way to learn if a cosmetic procedure is capable of giving you the aesthetic effects you want.
As long as your motivations are healthy, cosmetic surgery can help anyone, including social media influencers, look their best online – and off. Cosmetic surgery can correct defects and minimize insecurities, bringing you a better quality of life and a surge of confidence.

Vaser Lipo scars refer to the marks or blemishes that may appear on the skin after undergoing Vaser liposuction. This cosmetic surgery technique uses ultrasound technology to break down and remove fat from the body. These Vaser Lipo scars may vary in size and appearance depending on the individual’s skin type and the extent of the procedure.
This cosmetic surgery technique improves the contouring shaping abilities of traditional liposuction, making the VASER Lipo scars treatment ideal for eradicating belly fat (and fat all over).
VASER Liposuction (or HD Lipo) is similar to traditional liposuction. To understand how VASER works, we should compare it to the techniques used with traditional lipo.
You may already be familiar with the way trad-lipo extracts excess fat from various points around the body. In most cases, general anesthesia will be used so that you will be unconscious during the procedure. In some cases, the surgeon will use local anesthesia if the treatment area is small enough.
Once prepped for surgery, the surgeon will make incisions along the treatment area. The areas that respond best to lipo include the buttocks, abdomen, chin, knees, and breasts (which includes male breast removal). The incisions are between 3-6 millimeters and an inch long and will be used as insertion points for a cannula, which is a long, thin tube used for extracting the fat during the lipo procedure.
During regular fat lipo, the treatment area is filled with a solution combining anesthetic and saline. The purpose of the mixture is three-fold. The anesthetic numbs the area and constricts the blood vessels while making the fat easier to break up.
The surgeon will then use the cannula as a suction device, making wide back-and-forth motions. Using this method, the surgeon is able to remove large pockets of fat from the deepest layers. Going to the deep layers is safer and less likely to damage the skin.
After the traditional liposuction procedure, patients are required to wear a compression vest for a short time. The procedure creates tunnels underneath the skin and within the fat. These tunnels will eventually collapse using a compression garment, helping the long-term results look more natural. Swelling and discomfort should diminish within three weeks, usually when you can see the final results.
VASER Lipo uses the same types of incisions and a similar saline mixture to what’s used in regular lipo. The area becomes numb, the blood vessels constrict, and the fat is easier to break up after adding the solution. Next comes the VASER probe.
VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. This is a fancy term for ultrasound technology. By inserting the VASER probe into the treatment area incisions, a low level of ultrasound energy is used to target and eliminate fat cells.
This technology isn’t necessarily new. Surgeons were using an earlier type of VASER in the 90s. Back then, surgeons couldn’t control the level of energy, which increased patient risks. We are now in the third generation of VASER, and the ultrasound energy is highly controlled. VASER can improve the contours and add a higher level of definition to certain body parts such as the chin, neck, arms, love handles, and thighs.
Traditional liposuction is designed for patients with a higher-than-average body mass index (BMI). It’s for eradicating large pockets of pesky fat. Because the treatment areas are large, you typically undergo fewer procedures. The fat lipo procedure has become the gold standard for producing excellent results. In the hands of a skilled surgeon, you can achieve the desired results in nearly any area of the body.
VASER liposuction gives all the benefits of lipo without downtime. The surgeon will use a local anesthetic as opposed to a general “put you to sleep” anesthetic. You’ll be fully awake for the entire procedure, which takes around an hour. The recovery time is a breeze, and there is also less pain, bleeding, and bruising when compared to traditional lipo.
You’ll still have to take it easy for a few weeks, but the results with VASER are far different than those produced by standard lipo. VASER is known for its body-sculpting effects. VASER will leave your body toned and your muscles more defined at the treatment area.
VASER liposuction is minimally invasive. As such, the procedure doesn’t require major incisions. The cuts are tiny and usually placed within your skin’s natural folds. A skilled surgeon can hide those scars so well they are practically invisible once healed.
VASER liposuction is an excellent technique for erasing belly fat that is not only stubborn but located at superficial levels. Once that fat is eradicated, your body’s musculature will be able to show through. This is where you get six-pack abs – or at least greater definition in the abdominal area.
For many people, the fat on the upper and lower belly is the most difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. This is why using VASER on your belly fat works so well and produces the most enviable results. Everyone will think you got a leaner stomach by working hard in the gym. Little do they know, VASER gave you that belly in much less time.
The fees associated with VASER come to around $6,500 on average, according to Healthline. The price you pay may vary depending on the size of the treatment area, the amount of fat that needs to be removed, and the number of treatments. The fees also pay for the surgeon’s fees, facility fees, anesthesiologist’s fees, and so on. Traditional liposuction, by comparison, costs $3,500 on average.
You should never substitute VASER liposuction for a healthy diet and exercise program. You should be at or around a healthy weight before considering a procedure such as VASER Lipo. But if you are at a healthy weight and still have pockets of fat, VASER can help you slim down and tone up!
VASER gives the best results when used on patients with good skin tone and elasticity. Your goal should be to add a definition without losing too much weight. VASER can give you that “ripped” look for men or “toned” look for women. The prime areas for VASER include your chin, neck, breasts, abdomen, love handles, back, arms, hips, thighs, knees, and ankles. Yes, virtually all over. But the only way to know if you are a good candidate for this revolutionary fat-busting technique is to schedule a consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon.

When you have no butt at all, seeing everyone walking around – and showing off on Instagram – with a voluptuous backside can make you feel bad about yourself. But get this: You don’t have to freely accept the behind that nature gave you. You can do something about it and the Brazilian butt lift is just the procedure to request.
The Brazilian butt lift is considered a two-in-one cosmetic surgery. The procedure involves liposuction, where excess fat is extracted from another area of your body. Common areas for fat extraction include the waist, hips, and thighs. The fat is then purified before it is injected into both buttocks, making them appear rounder, more symmetrical, and fuller in size.
Before we discuss more about the BBL and all the benefits the procedure can provide, let’s discuss some facts and dispel some myths.
Take a time machine back to the eighties or nineties and it’s amazing how having a large butt was frowned upon. Fast forward to today and it seems everyone wants more “junk in the trunk.” In fact, the BBL was the fastest growing aesthetic surgery in 2019 (and the trend of seeking a bigger butt only seems to be growing).
It’s true. There are also butt implants. These gluteal implants are designed for people who have low body fat. The problem with implants is that they tend to look less natural than surgeries like the BBL. You can also opt for butt lift injectables, which provide months of butt volumization with minimal downtime. If you’re looking for a butt lift that lasts, however, injectables are NOT the way to go. The Brazilian butt lift not only offers long lasting results, but the after-effects appear nature-made.
This is very true. While the BBL is a simple and easy procedure, the technique still needs to be performed by an experienced cosmetic surgeon. Preferably, you will find one with a good track record of completing BBLs with impressive results. When speaking with a surgeon, ask to see Before and After images of Brazilian butt lifts the doctor has completed in the past. You should also feel comfortable explaining your needs, goals, and concerns, so a good rapport with your doctor is helpful as well.
Now, some myths:
The Truth: While liposuction can enhance the curves of your waist, hips, thighs, or wherever else your surgeon chooses to extract the excess fat from, the lipo procedure is not meant as a weight loss tool. Your surgeon will usually recommend that you try and drop down to a healthier weight if fat loss is your primary goal. Doing so will ensure better and healthier results with Brazilian butt lift surgery.
The Truth: If you are looking for a dramatic boost of volume, no amount of weight lifting will give you the same results as a Brazilian butt lift. This is particularly true for women looking for a dramatic increase in volume. It’s important to have a realistic expectation of what the final results will look like. Your cosmetic surgeon can help you envision yourself with a BBL enhanced backside. This isn’t to discount exercise. Going to the gym and leading a healthy lifestyle are important mantras for everyone, including women who have undergone a BBL.
The Truth: When you come out of surgery, you will undoubtedly be anxious to see the lovely results of your Brazilian butt lift procedure. While you may see a difference in the contours of your body immediately after surgery, the more significant results of the BBL will take several weeks to actualize. The reason is because swelling can occur post-surgery. You’ll need to wait for the swelling to disappear before the true results of your surgery can be seen.
Now that you know the truth about the Brazilian butt lift, let’s examine what the surgery can do for you.
The techniques involved in a BBL give you a defined look. Anyone who doesn’t know any better will assume you were born with your newly enhanced backside. Your butt will also feel realistic to the touch and move in a way similar to natural tissue.
As age goes up, sometimes the amount of muscle mass we carry goes down. This deterioration of muscle can occur all over, including on your backside. Less muscle tissue can cause the fatty tissue and skin around that area to sag. You may also experience a dimpling of the skin or an asymmetrical shape. These effects of aging – and sometimes genetics – can make you want to avoid wearing certain clothes, such as a bikini.
A Brazilian butt lift can give you volume as well as a smoother texture and more symmetrical shape. Some women find that the BBL also helps with the appearance of cellulite. It’s the booty trifecta that all coveters of an excellent butt are all hoping for. You can get this type of butt by opting for a BBL from a skilled and experienced cosmetic surgeon.
Many women love the fact that the Brazilian butt lift utilizes liposuction as part of the butt enhancement technique. Not only will your contours improve at the donor site, but your own fat is then reinjected into both buttocks. This is good for two important reasons. For one, your body is less likely to reject or have an allergic reaction to your very own fat cells. This is your natural tissue. It’s just being moved around.
Another benefit to using your own fat is that the effects won’t diminish like butt enhancement fillers. While some deterioration of the fat cells is likely to occur, you can expect to retain 60% to 70% of the transferred fat for many years. Your cosmetic surgeon will give you tips on maintaining your Brazilian butt lift results, which includes keeping your weight stable.
The Brazilian butt lift will require that you spend time recovering from your procedure. Your cosmetic surgeon will give you clear instructions on how to care for yourself during this time. The good news is that, since the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, the recovery period isn’t as grueling as it would be for major surgery.
You will need to take care of the treatment area, however. That includes making sure you don’t sit directly on your newly enhanced butt for at least 10 to 14 days. You can sit down, but your doctor may recommend a special pillow that won’t put pressure on the areas where your fat was injected. Your fat tissue will need time to settle into the desired shape. Putting undue pressure on your buttocks may cause lumpiness and other negative after effects to occur. You may be advised to sleep on your stomach as well – anything to protect your buttocks to bring the results you want.
Having a newly enhanced backside can make you feel good about yourself, especially if having a saggy, flat, or misshapen butt has bothered you for some time. Not only will you have a more voluptuous butt and improved contours, but the procedure is also discreet. There is very little scarring and there are no outward signs that your larger butt was the result of surgery. It can be your secret and no one else has to know.
The BBL is safer than other aesthetic procedures. The butt lift surgery is FDA-approved and comes with few risks, as long as you take time to find an experienced cosmetic surgeon.
Bigger butts are in. So are rounder, more symmetrical ones. You can have this type of buttock by choosing a qualified cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Babak Moein of Moein Surgical Arts. Dr. Moein has an excellent track record helping patients like you achieve the desired shape and roundness with the Brazilian butt lift procedure.
Dr. Moein is offering telemedicine consultations during the COVID-19 pandemic for your convenience and safety. These video-chat meetings are excellent for letting you know if you are a good candidate for a butt lift procedure like the BBL. You can ask questions and have your concerns alleviated. Before you know it, you could be scheduled for surgery, where your newly enhanced backside awaits.

Spider veins are thin, web-like blood vessels that typically appear on the surface of the skin in shades of red, blue, or purple. Often found on the legs and face, they form when small valves within the veins weaken or fail, causing blood to pool and create these visible patterns. While spider veins are generally harmless, many people seek information on how to get rid of spider veins for both cosmetic reasons and to maintain optimal vein health.
Varicose and spider veins both represent veins that have suffered some type of damage. In healthy veins, valves inside the veins push blood in a single direction, mainly back to our heart. When the valves weaken for whatever reason, blood can flow backward, causing a buildup. With too much pressure, the vein walls can begin to bulge, causing what we all know to be varicose or spider veins.
If you don’t know the difference between the two types of veins, you’re not alone. Some people use the two terms interchangeably. Here are the facts.
If you remain unsure of what type of vein problem you are suffering from, the best course of action is to schedule a consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon, such as Dr. Babak Moein of Moein Surgical Arts in Los Angeles, California. A cosmetic specialist like Dr. Moein can examine your veins and help you determine the best course of treatment that might be right for you.
Several factors contribute to the development of spider veins. Heredity plays a significant role; if your family members have a history of either spider or varicose veins, you may be more prone to them. Lifestyle factors, such as prolonged standing or sitting, can increase venous pressure in the legs and exacerbate their formation. Lastly, hormonal influences especially during pregnancy or menopause can lead to changes in blood flow and vein structure, further elevating your risk. Identifying these causes can help you take proactive steps, from wearing compression stockings to considering targeted procedures, ultimately guiding you toward the most effective methods of how to get rid of spider veins.
One of the earliest indicators of spider veins is the appearance of thin, thread-like veins in shades of red or blue. These lines may gradually spread over an area of the legs or face, forming the distinctive “spider web” pattern. Although they are often more of a cosmetic concern than a health risk, it’s still essential to monitor their growth or any changes over time. If you find yourself constantly searching for how to get rid of spider veins, recognizing these warning signs early on can prompt you to explore preventative measures or seek professional advice before they become more pronounced.
Beyond their visible appearance, some individuals experience aching or mild discomfort in areas with spider veins. While this may not be as intense as the pain commonly associated with varicose veins, persistent aches or a feeling of heaviness could indicate increased venous pressure. At this stage, simple interventions such as compression stockings, lifestyle modifications, or topical treatments might help reduce symptoms.
If you notice that your spider veins are multiplying rapidly, causing significant discomfort, or accompanied by swelling, it’s wise to seek medical advice. A vein specialist can assess whether your symptoms are linked to an underlying circulatory issue and recommend targeted treatments ranging from sclerotherapy to laser therapy. Acting sooner rather than later helps ensure better outcomes, prevents potential complications, and guides you toward the most effective path to healthier, clearer skin.
Spider veins don’t only appear on the legs; they can also develop on the face, often around the nose and cheeks. Typically resembling thin, red or purple lines, spider veins on the face form when tiny veins or capillaries near the skin’s surface become dilated or damaged. Factors such as sun exposure, genetic predisposition, and certain skin conditions (like rosacea) can increase one’s likelihood of developing these visible facial veins. Additionally, lifestyle influences such as excessive alcohol consumption or frequent temperature fluctuations may exacerbate the problem by causing veins to repeatedly expand and contract.
Addressing spider veins on the face may involve both preventive measures and targeted treatments. For prevention, many dermatologists recommend applying sunscreen, wearing hats or sunglasses, and avoiding extreme temperature changes whenever possible. Effective treatment options can include laser therapy, which uses focused light to collapse affected veins, or sclerotherapy, where a medical solution is injected into the vein to make it close off and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. With proper care and early intervention, individuals can often minimize the appearance of facial spider veins and enjoy smoother, more even-toned skin.
Generally speaking, spider veins are considered more of a cosmetic issue than a serious health concern. They’re smaller and closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins, and typically cause minimal discomfortif. However, some individuals may experience mild burning or aching sensations, especially if they stand or sit for extended periods. While spider veins aren’t usually dangerous, they can sometimes indicate underlying circulation issues. If you notice changes in appearance, discomfort, or other vein-related symptoms, it’s wise to seek professional advice. Early evaluation not only clarifies whether deeper vein problems exist but also guides you toward the most effective strategy for how to get rid of spider veins before they become more pronounced.
Engaging in exercise routines for improved circulation is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to help reduce spider veins. Low-impact workouts like walking, swimming, or cycling strengthen the leg muscles and encourage healthy blood flow back to the heart. Alongside staying active, maintaining a healthy weight further reduces stress on the veins, helping to prevent new spider veins from forming.
If your daily routine involves prolonged periods of standing or sitting, consider elevating your legs whenever possible such as during work breaks or while relaxing at home. This small shift in position helps alleviate pressure on your veins and slows the progression of existing spider veins, offering a proactive method for those looking to understand how to get rid of spider veins in a natural, ongoing manner.
You can attempt to reverse the appearance of varicose and spider veins by engaging in self-care. Tips to include with your daily regimen include exercise, elevating your legs, moving around every thirty minutes if you lead a sedentary lifestyle, and avoiding soaking in hot baths for long periods of time. These tips can prevent new veins from forming but they cannot get rid of existing varicose or spider veins. For existing veins, only cosmetic vein treatments can help.
Many people explore at-home remedies ranging from compression stockings to herbal creams in hopes of diminishing the appearance of spider veins. Compression stockings apply gentle, graduated pressure to the legs, promoting better circulation and easing mild discomfort. Meanwhile, topical creams may improve skin tone or texture, though their ability to truly eliminate spider veins can be limited. Some individuals also find temporary relief through massage and self-care strategies, which help stimulate blood flow and relieve tension.
However, it’s important to note the pros and cons of natural remedies: while these methods are generally budget-friendly and non-invasive, they may only provide minimal improvement if spider veins are already advanced. Consulting with a medical professional can help you balance at-home care with more targeted treatments to achieve the best overall results.
When lifestyle changes and home remedies aren’t enough, various medical treatments can provide more definitive solutions on how to get rid of spider veins. One of the most common techniques is laser therapy, which uses targeted light energy to heat and destroy the problematic veins. This approach is particularly effective for smaller, more superficial veins, commonly found on the face or other delicate areas. Advanced forms of laser or radiofrequency ablation may also be used to treat slightly larger or deeper veins.
While these procedures can cause mild discomfort such as a warming sensation or tingling side effects are generally minimal and temporary. Ultimately, choosing the right treatment depends on the size, location, and severity of your spider veins, as well as personal preference. Working closely with a qualified specialist ensures the best possible outcome, helping you regain smoother, clearer skin.
This skin resurfacing treatment coagulates tissue underneath the skin, making it effective to treat varicose and spider veins. Fractora is also commonly used to treat acne scars, wrinkles, and other skin problems, such as issues with skin pigmentation.
The cosmetic procedure toes the line between being a fractional laser and a surgical procedure. Considered non-surgical in nature, Fractora delivers radiofrequency energy that extends to various depths beneath the skin. A hand-held wand is used with a series of pin electrodes attached. These pins are applied directly to the skin, whereby the tissue is heated both on top and underneath the skin. The high heat coagulates and ablates the tissue, which leads to rejuvenation and contraction of the skin. The results are safe, effective, and proven to work.
Lumecca is a cosmetic treatment that originates from a company called InMode. The procedure uses IPL or intense pulsed light to restore and rejuvenate problem skin. A single treatment can visibly reduce spider veins. Surgeons can also use Lumecca IPL to treat acne scars, age spots, and other vascular lesions.
Light pulse technologies like Lumecca offer dramatic improvements quickly, which makes this treatment a favorite among cosmetic surgeons looking to treat varicose and spider veins.
The technique uses photo rejuvenation and a handheld flashgun to send pulses of intense light directly to the problematic veins. For individuals researching how to get rid of spider veins, the best part about Lumecca is that there is little downtime, yet it offers dramatic results. This device comes equipped with a refined cooling technology, making it safer and more comfortable than many other IPL systems. As a result, Lumecca has quickly become a favorite among patients seeking an effective yet gentle approach for addressing visible veins.
Yet another minimally invasive technique for problematic veins is one that you may have heard about before. CO2 fractional resurfacing has long been used to restore the signs of youth to the face and other parts of the body. Turns out, the procedure is also handy for shrinking the appearance of pesky spider veins.
Lasers are one of the most exciting developments in the cosmetic world. Advanced techniques such as the CO2 fractional laser are now available for rejuvenating and resurfacing skin.
Laser technology can reach deep down into the skin. It’s more effective than chemical peels or microdermabrasion and lasers require less downtime than other similar treatments. The technique involves treating the veins with carbon dioxide lasers directly. Doing so ablates the veins, which vaporizes the skin a single layer at a time. Heating the veins causes the tissues on and around them to coagulate, which diminishes the unsightly appearance of the veins while stimulating new collagen growth. The treatment takes only minutes to complete and will feel as though you have a sunburn around the area for at least a few days. The surgeon will use anesthetic cream during the treatment, so don’t worry about any discomfort.
Those who are exploring how to get rid of spider veins may find that additional CO₂ laser treatments are necessary, depending on the severity of their vein problem. The treatments can be spaced out in six-month intervals, allowing the skin ample time to recover and respond. Over time, your skin will appear brighter, and the veins will gradually fade, leaving healthier, more youthful-looking skin behind.
You now have several how to get rid of spider veins treatments to request when varicose or spider veins have you feeling self-conscious about your legs.

Gynecomastia or “Man Boobs” is a common condition that affects 65% of all men and 50% to 60% of all young boys. The condition can occur during infancy and puberty in normally developing boys. It is characterized by the enlargement of the glandular tissue of the male breast.
While gynecomastia (or gyno) doesn’t cause pain in the majority of men who experience the condition, it can hurt their pride. The causes are myriad and varied. Gyno can be the result of:
Gynecomastia also has links with some medical conditions and treatments such as:
If you suffer from excessive growth of male breast tissue, you’re definitely not alone. The good news is that there are treatments for this condition. In order to find the right treatment, it’s important to discover which type of gynecomastia you suffer from. Only a medical doctor or gynecomastia surgeon can make an accurate diagnosis. There are seven types of gyno. Knowing which type you have is the first step to finding the most accurate treatment.
Normal: You might experience normal gynecomastia if you are an adolescent male 12 to 15 years of age or an older man over the age of 65. In many cases, the condition will resolve on its own within one or two years.
Adult: This is the most common form of gynecomastia. The condition is characterized by the presence of fat deposits in the glandular tissue. Doctors may recommend surgery upon diagnosis.
Glandular: Pure glandular gynecomastia is commonly visible in bodybuilders who have abused steroids. The only treatment for this type of gyno is surgical removal of the gland.
Adolescent: Experts believe that adolescent gynecomastia is hereditary. The condition tends to appear in 30% to 60% of boys between the ages of 9 and 14. In many cases, the gyno will resolve on its own without intervention as the boy grows into adulthood. Surgery is an option if the gynecomastia persists after the boy turns 18. In severe cases, surgeons can remove the excess tissue before the boy reaches adulthood, but only upon the recommendation of a physician and child development specialist.
Asymmetric: Otherwise referred to as unilateral gynecomastia, this condition is present on only one breast or on both breasts at varying degrees. You can usually self-diagnose this type of gyno when one breast appears larger than the other. The most common treatment for asymmetric gynecomastia is surgery.
Severe: Saggy skin and severely enlarged breasts cause this type of gyno. Men who are overweight or obese and older men with diminished skin elasticity most often experience this type of gynecomastia. Surgery is the most recommended form of treatment.
Pseudo: Instead of glandular tissue, pseudo gyno is caused by adipose tissue only. In most cases, the condition can be treated by watching one’s diet. Some doctors may recommend surgery.
Once you have been diagnosed with excessive male breast growth, the next stage is to discuss treatment options. There are three types of surgical options to treat gynecomastia. Your doctor will recommend the one that is best suited to your specific case.
Traditional liposuction is recommended for cases of gyno where male breast growth is caused by excessive fatty tissue. During the procedure, your gynecomastia surgeon will insert a thin hollow tube, known as a cannula, through tiny incisions. The cannula is moved back and forth to break up and loosen the fat before it is removed by way of vacuum suction.
When excess skin and glandular breast tissue are the cause of gyno, your surgeon will use excision. This is the process of cutting away the glandular breast tissue. The areola or nipple will also be reduced or repositioned for more natural-looking results. The incision patterns used will depend on your specific condition.
When both glandular and fatty tissue are to blame for your gynecomastia, your gyno surgeon may combine the procedures. Lipo and excision can also create a natural appearance, even in cases of severe male breast growth.
Your results will be immediately apparent upon waking up from surgery. There may be some swelling in the chest area, but this can be managed by wearing a chest compression garment. This constricting vest also helps with blood circulation, which aids in proper healing. In some cases, your surgeon will place tubes under the skin to drain fluid and any blood that may collect at the treatment site. Your results will be permanent, in most cases. You can ensure you retain the longest-lasting results by keeping your weight stabilized. In rare cases, the gynecomastia returns, which requires follow-up treatment.
You should be able to return to work after 7 to 10 days. Most men are also able to go back to the gym after two weeks for cardio and weight lifting after four weeks, barring complications from surgery.
The fees associated with gynecomastia treatment can vary depending on the specifics of your case. The fees can also include the liposuction or excision treatment, operating room facilities, surgeon’s fees, anesthesia fees, medical tests, post-surgery garments, and prescription costs. Gynecomastia surgery is not typically covered by medical insurance, as it is not considered a medical necessity, however, financing is usually available at most gynecomastia surgery centers.
Gynecomastia surgery, whether it involves liposuction or excision, is a major surgery, and all surgeries come with risks. The most common risks associated with gyno surgical correction include blood clots, hematoma, risks associated with anesthesia, breast contour irregularities, infection, scarring, fluid accumulation, and temporary or permanent changes in breast or nipple sensation.
Making the decision to have gynecomastia surgery is a major one and should be made with careful consideration. If you have concerns, discuss them with a qualified gynecomastia surgeon, such as Dr. Babak Moein of Moein Surgical Arts. Dr. Moein is an expert in treating your gynecomastia problem, no matter which type you are experiencing. In nearly every case, patients who undergo gyno surgery have a newfound confidence and a renewed zest for life.

Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León led an expedition to Florida in 1513 in search of the Fountain of Youth. The legends said that this mythical spring give anyone who drank or bathed in its waters a youthful appearance.
While Ponce never found his coveted fountain, we can all relate to his mission. There is no one among us who wouldn’t love to halt the progression of aging. Loose and wrinkled skin on the face, abdomen, arms, and legs tend to show our true age. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all drink from the fountain of youth, thus restoring our skin’s luster to that of a much younger age?
While we do have facelifts, tummy tucks, arm lifts, and thigh lifts available to us, these cosmetic procedures tend to leave visible scars behind. Now, there is a new technology called Renuvion/J-Plasma that can lift and tighten the skin without the scars. When combined with liposuction, Renuvion can restore your skin’s youthful vigor, without a single scar left behind.
Renuvion/J-Plasma technology was initially developed as a cancer treatment. By passing cold helium gas through radiofrequency energy (AF), researchers discovered that a plasma is created. It was pretty good at removing cancerous lesions.
It wasn’t until later that researchers discovered another use for the J-Plasma energy. They found out that it’s also effective at reversing the signs of aging. Here’s how it works.
The passing of cold helium through the RF energy creates a heated beam of plasma energy. However, only a tiny bit of helium is actually converted to plasma. The rest of the helium passes over the treatment area, cooling it down. The heated energy improves skin tone and tightens the skin overall. Meanwhile, the excess helium protects surrounding tissues from experiencing collateral damage. What you end up with is a safe and incredibly precise treatment. This will reverses the aging process, with very little downtime.
Liposuction has been a staple of cosmetic surgeon offices for over 30 years. The fat-eradicating procedure works so well when paired with J-Plasma that experts have given it a special name: The Scarless Lift.
The procedure involves tiny incisions along the treatment area. The incisions are so tiny and hidden within the normal folds of your body that they are nearly invisible once healed. Once the incisions are created, numbing medicine is inserted into the cuts, followed by a cannula, which is the tube used to extract excess fat during the liposuction procedure.
After the excess fat has been removed, and the cosmetic surgeon is satisfied with the contours that have been achieved, that’s when Renuvion/J-Plasma comes into play.
The surgeon will apply renuvion using a special hand-held device. Once activated, the high-intensity beam of J-Plasma goes to work on the treatment area. The skin becomes tighter. The wrinkles and fine lines are smoothed away. At the same time, collagen and elastin are produced, which revitalizes your skin from the inside out. And because the technology is so precise, only the treatment area becomes affected, without any damage to the surrounding tissues.
The above describes the procedure used by traditional liposuction. But what if you want to take your results to the next level? That’s when you should ask your cosmetic surgeon about VASER or High-Definition Lipo, which gives you etched contours that before only came about by working hard in the gym.
VASER and Renuvion used in conjunction can magnify your anti-aging results. You know by now how Renuvion works. VASER Lipo is akin to traditional lipo, only it uses a different kind of technology. VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. The technology makes powerful use of ultrasound waves to break up and liquify fat cells. This makes them easier to extract with the liposuction cannula.
VASER allows your cosmetic surgeon to etch deeper lines in the muscles, giving you more definition. It allows your body’s musculature to show through by eradicating deep layers of fat, as well as the thinner layers of superficial fat.
If you want that toned or shredded look, and revitalized skin, VASER and Renuvion are the cosmetic procedures you’ll want to request.
Renuvion, Liposuction, and HD-Lipo are customizable procedures. One can use them virtually all over the body, including the face, neck, back, buttocks, abdomen, upper arms, and inner thighs. Therefore, what you might pay for the combination of procedures may be different than what someone else pays. It would be irresponsible to provide a flat rate for the procedures since there are so many variables to consider.
You can determine the exact fees you are likely to pay by scheduling a consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon, such as Dr. Babak Moein of Moein Surgical Arts. The results of the procedures last for many years, as long as you are able to maintain a healthy weight.
Because Renuvion, Lipo, and HD-Lipo are minimally-invasive, there is no need for general anesthesia. The surgeon will only use local anesthesia, which limits any downtime. You’ll only need to take it easy for a few days. That is a small price to pay for long-lasting youthfulness.
For years, cosmetic and plastic surgeons have been searching for ways to tighten the skin without surgery. That technology has arrived. J-plasma tightens the skin without leaving visible scars behind. What’s more is that the surgeons can do the procedure virtually anywhere on the body, including those areas where age tends to reveal itself the most.
J-Plasma is also often used in cases of extreme weight loss, where skin tightening can help with lax skin.
It’s too bad Ponce de Leon didn’t live long enough to take advantage of J-Plasma and Liposuction, as he would have agreed that combining the two procedures is akin to taking a long, restorative drink from the mythical fountain of youth.
You can opt for Renuvion/J-Plasma and Liposuction to give you tighter, more youthful skin by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Babak Moein of Moein Surgical Arts. Located in Los Angeles, California, we are ready to serve you. Call (310)694-4486 today to learn more.
Disclaimer: The FDA has not approved the use of Renuvion for cosmetic use. The FDA has approved Renuvion for coagulation of tissue only. The specific advanced use of this new technology for skin tightening still remains investigational. The off label use of Renuvion is only suitable for specific groups of patients with minimal skin laxity. Many devices initially have a general use approval and, with time, the expanded indications are approved to popularize usage. If you are a suitable candidate for Renuvion, Dr. Moein will discuss this information with you to ensure your understanding and comprehension before opting for the Renuvion procedure.
Gynecomastia is a medical condition that affects around 30% of men at some point during their lifetime. The enlargement of male breast tissue characterizes it. Men who grow male breasts often feel shame and embarrassment as a result of their affliction. This has caused the number of gynecomastia surgeries to rise more than 30% in the past five years. Gynecomastia surgery cost is explained in the article.
Otherwise referred to as male breast reduction, gynecomastia surgery is major surgery. It deserves serious consideration before you go ahead and schedule the procedure.
The best way to find out if you are a good candidate for gyno surgery is to schedule a consultation with a gynecomastia surgeon. After a medical examination, you will learn the cause of your problem and if surgery can help.
In the meantime, here are some things all men should know when considering gynecomastia surgery cost. The procedure is also called male breast reduction.
Gynecomastia can affect men of any age, even boys. When puberty leads to hormonal surges, male breast growth can result. For many boys, the breast tissue shrinks on its own. But some boys keep the breasts long-term, much to their displeasure.
Gyno is present in 60% to 90% of young boys and 50% to 60% of adolescents. Up to 70% of men 50 to 69 years of age also experience this growth of male breasts, otherwise known as “man boobs.”
Hormone fluctuations during puberty are a major cause of gynecomastia. More specifically, higher-than-normal levels of estrogen can cause the breast tissue to grow. Excess weight gain is another. Bodybuilders who use anabolic steroids and users of marijuana also put themselves at risk of developing the condition.
Gynecomastia typically grows on both sides of the chest. However, asymmetry does occur in some patients. The best way to tell if you have gynecomastia is to undergo an examination by a trained gyno doctor.
You can perform a self-breast exam at home. While not a definite test, it can help you determine if you should see a doctor.
Feel around the breast tissue. The presence of male breast growth usually identifies itself as a firm, mobile, and disc-like mound. This mass is usually located just under the center of the nipple.
A mass doesn’t always indicate gyno. If you feel a hard and fixed object peripheral to the nipple, that could indicate male breast cancer. Other signs of cancer include nipple discharge, enlarged lymph nodes, and skin changes. A proper diagnosis of breast cancer will require mammograms and MRIs.
There are multiple parts to gynecomastia surgery. Most men want the fat tissue removed from their breasts. This will involve a surgery you probably know well – liposuction. Traditional liposuction is used to suction out the fatty tissue underneath the skin.
For men who experience glandular tissue growth, surgical excision will be used to remove the targeted mass. Excision may also be used if excess tissue needs to be cut away, which is the case for men with overly large breasts.
A gynecomastia surgeon performs male breast removal surgery. Your surgeon will give you explicit instructions on how to prepare before surgery. You may be advised not to eat or drink 24 hours before the procedure. You may also be told to wash with antibacterial soap.
Your surgeon is sure to mention that you stop taking any medication that can increase your risk of bleeding. If you smoke, you’ll be advised to quit at least two months before.
Your doctor may ask you to take a multivitamin once per day for two weeks before surgery. This helps to ensure you are in the right state of health to have the male breast surgery removed.
Plan to have a caretaker drive you to and from the surgical center on the day of surgery. In the best-case scenario, that person would stay with you for the first 24 hours to tend to your pressing needs. Your doctor will recommend that you fill any prescriptions before surgery. Doing so will allow you to have the medications available when you need them, and as you heal.
Finally, plan to schedule a few days off work. If you have a physically demanding job, plan to take at least two weeks off. Your doctor can often provide you with a letter to give to your employer to request the time off if needed.
Frequent visitors to the tanning bed will want to avoid sun tanning at least two weeks before gynecomastia surgery. Stay away from alcohol at least one week prior to the procedure and stop all blood thinners and herbal supplements ten days before.
Post-surgical care involves taking care of your surgical site dressings. You are also encouraged to eat healthily to promote healing. Ensure you get plenty of rest and wear your compression vest as ordered. The compression vest improves circulation, which aids you in healing. The vest also helps to reduce swelling and control bruising.
For instances where only liposuction was used, you should be able to return to work in less than a week. When glandular tissue is to be removed, you may require two to four extra weeks to heal before returning to your regular work duties.
Ideal candidates for gynecomastia surgery are those who experience discomfort on account of their condition. There may be chafing or rubbing of the skin where the breast tissue is present. Another consideration for surgery is if the male breast growth leads to a lack of confidence. You may also be considered if you have tried other methods to reduce the breast tissue but to no avail.
Gynecomastia surgery can alleviate any discomfort you feel. Chafing can become a thing of the past. Your self-esteem can skyrocket. Imagine taking your shirt off at the pool or beach without issue. Picture yourself showing off your flat and masculine chest where there was male breast growth before.
In some cases, getting a gynecomastia diagnosis and signing up for surgery can uncover more serious issues, such as hyperthyroidism, low testosterone levels, and breast cancer.
Yes, gyno surgery can be worth it, as long as you have realistic expectations, are in good physical health, and are at a healthy weight.
The American Society of Plastic Surgery puts the average gynecomastia surgery cost around $4,723. The fees you pay may vary depending on a variety of factors. These include the type of surgery, the extent of the male breast growth problem, the state of your health, body type, surgical center, anesthesia, and doctor’s fees. The best way to get true gynecomastia surgery cost is to schedule a consultation with a gyno surgeon near you.
The decision to have gynecomastia surgery is not an easy one to make. Hopefully, by learning these facts about this common male affliction, you will feel inspired to schedule a consultation. Many gynecomastia patients report a positive body image and boosted self-esteem following their procedures.
Dr. Babak Moein of Moein Surgical Arts can help you determine if gyno surgery is right for you. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Moein today in Los Angeles by calling (310)455-8020. He is happy to discuss all aspects of the procedure, including gynecomastia surgery cost.

You should appreciate cost of gynecomastia surgery and your recovery period. Finally, you should meet both your surgeon and our support staff who will be with you throughout your journey.

Physical and Emotional Benefits of Men’s Cosmetic Surgery
Zoom Gloom or Zoom Fatigue is leading to a surge in cosmetic surgery.
Zoom Gloom is the term given to the fatigue we all feel from video chatting constantly during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
You know those meetings that could have been emails? Now they’re Zoom meetings, and everyone is sick of them.
Research is showing that Zoom gloom can leave you feeling drained. It can also leave you with low-self-esteem.
It should be noted that while Zoom is getting a bad rap, these feelings can also be felt on platforms like FaceTime, Skype, and other face-to-face video chats.
Now, some are signing up for cosmetic surgery because of the Zoom Fatigue effect. The motivation to change your appearance might come from staring at yourself inside that tiny box in the corner during these meetings. When there are other people on screen, you can’t help but compare. How much of your nose takes up your face and whether your lips are too small might have never bothered you before. But when you put your face next to Bob or Betty in HR, you can’t help but see yourself as a troll.
There are several good reasons to get cosmetic surgery, which is entirely safe during the coronavirus pandemic. You can recover in the comfort of home now that you have so much downtime, and you have a medical excuse to skip out on Zoom calls (at least the video part). Best of all, there is a range of cosmetic procedures to choose from.
Here are ten cosmetic surgeries that give natural-looking results, and that will help you look your best during your next Zoom video call.
There are tricks you use to help yourself look more glamorous on a video call. The right lighting can help to minimize eyebags and wrinkles, for instance. But lighting can’t really help sag or hide folds of skin.
A face lift gives you a younger appearance. By opting for this cosmetic procedure, you can reduce sagging skin and skin folds. You can also sharpen your cheekbones and jawline, and correct jowls and significant facial wrinkles.
During the procedure, your skin is pulled back and tightened. It makes your skin appear firmer and more youthful than your natural years.
There is some downtime associated with facelift surgery. You will take some time to heal from your procedure and your results will continue to look better every day from that point forward. You should be able to resume Zoom calls after four weeks. At twelve weeks, you should be completely healed, allowing you and everyone else to see all the years erased from your appearance.
You’ve likely heard all about liposuction. It retains its title for being one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries since it was first made available in 1974. Using a thin tube called a cannula, your cosmetic procedure can remove large pockets of stubborn fat from various areas of your body. Did you know that you can have liposuction performed on your cheeks and neck? Having liposuction done on these two areas can make your face appear thinner and more attractive inside the tiny Zoom box.
VASER high-definition liposuction goes a bit deeper than regular lipo. It can give you that etched and sculpted effect that usually only comes with years of struggle in the gym. Tell your cosmetic surgeon your aesthetic goals and your doctor will go to work, carving your abdomen, arms, thighs, flanks, cheeks, and other parts with the agile hands of an artist, down to the last detail.
Does your double chin jiggle every time you intonate, laugh, or otherwise emote during meetings? Kybella injectable treatment is FDA approved to fill-out the area below your chin for a more streamlined look.
Kybella is a non-surgical technique that uses an injectable synthetic acid to target fat cells. The synthetic acid used in Kybella is based on deoxycholic acid, which occurs naturally in the body. The acid goes to work after being injected into your skin by targeting the fat cells at the treatment site. This makes the skin appear thinner and firmer over time.
Each Kybella treatment can be completed in around thirty minutes in your cosmetic surgeon’s office. The results, which are permanent, will be fully realized within four to six weeks after your final treatment. The injections are given over several sessions, which helps you achieve a sculpted and toned face. Your skin will also take on a whole new glow on account of Kybella’s skin rejuvenating effects.
Want to look younger when engaging in meetings? Renuvion just entered the chat. This cosmetic treatment tightens and rejuvenates your skin without surgery. Using J-Plasma technology, which utilizes a combination of radio waves and helium plasma energy, Renuvion heats the tissue at the treatment site. No other tissues are affected while the stream is active.
The stream is precision-targeted and perfect for hard-to-reach areas like the regions around the eyes. Renuvion is also ideal for jowls and saggy cheeks. Once heated, the skin begins to tighten, which smooths away fine lines and wrinkles just like a facelift. You could say that Renuvion gives you a facelift without the scars or downtime, which is why it is so loved by Zoom aficionados.
Fat grafting provides people with a way to restore lost facial volume and fill in unsightly facial folds. The procedure is perfect for addressing the common signs of aging that rob the face of its natural beauty.
Video chat boxes tend to reveal all the contours of our faces. When your face has lost volume in places due to age, Zoom meetings can accentuate that loss, making you look older than you are. With fat transfer, you can have your own fatty tissue injected into your face to smooth out those contours for a chiseled or feminine effect.
Facial fat transfer is also referred to as fat grafting and the procedure is known as an autologous procedure, which means you are donating the tissue to yourself. The fat cells you donate come from other areas of your body such as your abdomen, thighs, back, and arms. Your surgeon extracts the fat using traditional liposuction.
The fatty tissue is first purified before it is injected into your face to fill in valleys and smooth-out contours. All those areas where bone tissue has diminished or where fatty tissue is lost will now appear youthful and firm as if nature turned back the clock.
If you want to restore the natural beauty of your face using fat grafting, contact Möein Surgical Arts to schedule a consultation.
For lips that are barely there, lip augmentation can give you the pout you crave. All the celebrities are doing it. Even Instagram influencers are jumping on the trend. We’re referring to plump lips, the kind only the likes of Mick Jagger used to have. These days, you don’t have to be born with it. Your cosmetic surgeon can give you thicker and fuller lips through the use of injectable dermal fillers.
The most common fillers include Restylane, Silk, Belotero, Juvederm Volbella, and Juvederm Ultra XC. Your cosmetic surgeon will determine how much filler to use based on the size of your natural lips and your aesthetic goals. The results are immediately apparent and there is no downtime.
The treatment takes around thirty minutes and usually only requires a single vial per session, which makes it more affordable than other cosmetic treatments. For best results, schedule follow-up injections every four to six months to keep your lips in pucker-perfect shape.
When you have facial hair and hate shaving, turn to laser hair removal, now available at your local cosmetic surgeon’s office. Your doctor uses a Diolaze XL laser, which targets and destroys hair growth rapidly for an instantly smooth effect.
The treatment uses a pulsing laser to eradicate the hair. Your hair growth should significantly reduce after a few sessions. The number of sessions you require will depend on your hair type, hair color, skin tone, and the area of the body being treated.
The procedure is fast, painless, and can be used on any hair texture.
You never think about age until it’s staring you in the face. When your Zoom box looks like a much older person staring back at you, BOTOX® and other injectable neurotoxins can help. This cosmetic-treatment-in-a-syringe can tighten the skin and smooth away fine lines and wrinkles.
The neurotoxin, once injected, blocks certain chemicals in the nerves that cause the muscles in the face to contract. This relaxes the muscle, causing wrinkles around the forehead and around the eyes to fade away.
Results can last between three and four months, but they will wear off. Having the treatment repeated every three months or so can lengthen the effect of the relaxed muscles, making you look more youthful every time you have to be on screen.
Your face isn’t the only thing that shows on camera during Zoom meetings. Your chest may be visible as well. Breast augmentation for women and gynecomastia treatment for men can give you a more attractive chest, making you look out of this world inside that tiny box.
Natural breast augmentations and traditional breast augmentations can both make your breasts larger. If you don’t want size, both techniques can also improve your breast shape, correcting asymmetrical breasts, for example. Natural augmentations use the fat transfer technique. Instead of injecting the fat into your lips, the fat is extracted from another area and injected into each breast for more volume and improved shape.
Regular breast augmentations use silicone implants to give your breasts the intended size and contour. Don’t think you have to go melon-sized, either. Today’s breast implants are smaller in size than in years past, giving your silhouette more naturally-appearing curves.
For men who experience male breast growth, gynecomastia surgery or male breast reduction can give you a flatter, more masculine chest. Your cosmetic surgeon will use liposuction to remove the fat from your chest. When glandular tissue is present, the excess fat and tissue can be cut away, giving you more manly “pecs”.
Breast augmentations and gynecomastia surgery can boost your self-esteem, making Zoom video meetings much more tolerable.
Drooping upper eyelid skin can make you appear overworked and exhausted. Not the best look when trying to impress your boss. If undereye bags are making you feel self-conscious, and especially if they are getting in the way of your vision, upper eyelid surgery can help.
During the procedure, your surgeon will correct the bags under your eyes. This procedure will fill out any hollowness and eliminate fine wrinkles along the lower eyelids. Your surgeon can even tighten loose skin on the upper and lower eyelids, giving you a youthful and refreshed appearance.

Cosmetic surgeries are growing in popularity, particularly breast surgeries. Breast augmentations, breast lifts, and breast reductions help women solve a range of bodily issues every year. These surgeries also boost women’s self-esteem in innumerable ways.
If there is something you don’t like about your breasts or if you wish you had more fullness and roundness, or lift, here are the cosmetic surgeries to consider. Each one can be found at your local cosmetic surgeon’s office. If you’re interested in one of these surgeries, call the office of your choice for a consultation, and experience the dramatic, life-changing effects of breast surgery like the millions of women before you.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASP), breast augmentation is still the most popular plastic surgery procedure in the United States. Nearly 300,000 women chose this breast enlargement surgery in 2019. The surgery involves the implantation of saline or silicone implants to improve the shape or size of the breasts.
Breast implant surgery is a safe procedure with long-term results. There are also lowered risks of complications or side effects. The biggest risks include infection, slow wound healing, and blood accumulating at the surgical site. You can minimize the risks to your health by conducting the necessary research to find the best cosmetic surgeon.
When you weigh the benefits of breast augmentation with the cost, you’ll see that breast implants aren’t as expensive as you may have thought. The cost ranges between $5,000 and $8,000. Given how long they last and the dramatic effect on your appearance, breast implant augmentation is well worth the money.
While there will be some discomfort for a day or two following surgery, you will be back to your regular routine within a couple of weeks. You should wait for around six weeks to resume your regular exercise routine, but walking and other forms of cardio should be fine. What you won’t have to wait for is the boost to your self-esteem that breast implants provide.
Traditional breast implants may not work for every woman. This is where the fat transfer technique can help to augment the breasts using your own tissue. Otherwise referred to as “fat grafting” and “natural breast augmentation”, fat transfer is a good choice for women who want to increase their bust subtly as opposed to choosing a dramatic enlargement. You can go a half size or a full cup larger with fat grafting while giving your breasts a more attractive shape.
Fat transfers work by using liposuction to remove small amounts of fat from another area of your body. Examples of areas where fat is typically drawn from include the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. The area where the fat is extracted will become slimmer while the fat is injected into your breasts to make them larger. The fat is first purified before it is carefully re-injected into the breasts. After purifying, the fat is injected in layers to help sculpt the breast to the desired contours.
Breasts that droop and sag have lost their elasticity, which can be caused by age, weight fluctuations, breastfeeding, and gravity. A breast lift can correct these issues, leaving your breasts firmer and perkier.
A breast lift involves an incision on the breast before the excess skin is cut away. The nipple is then repositioned for symmetry. The results of the lift are immediately visible.
A breast lift can also be combined with breast implants and/or fat transfer to add size and volume after the breasts have been lifted.
Breasts that have been lifted look and feel firmer. The breasts also sit higher on the chest. Saggy breasts that have elongated or deflated can dramatically benefit from a breast lift. The surgery gives you added support and comfort.
A breast lift can give you the ideal aesthetic – rounder, firmer breasts. Breast lift surgery is meant for women with elongated and tubular-like breasts. The surgery lifts the breasts and adds the necessary volume and shape before the nipples are repositioned to match.
Breasts that sit low on the chest and those that sag can lead to skin irritation. Rashes often develop that cause pain over a period of days. During breast lift surgery, the surgeon will reduce the amount of excess breast skin which will prevent chafing in the future.
Growing up with large breasts can often lead to chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain. Oversized breasts can also make activities like running more difficult. A breast reduction can make the breasts smaller, alleviating the physical discomfort. A reduction makes the breasts more proportional to the rest of your body.
During the breast reduction procedure, the excess fat inside each breast is extracted using liposuction. The extra tissue is then cut away before the breasts are placed higher on the chest. The end result is a pair of perkier, firmer, and more symmetrical breasts that don’t take as much of a toll when running or exercising.
Women who undergo breast reduction surgery often breathe a sigh of relief. For years they have put up with back, neck, and shoulder pain, which has restricted them from living life to the fullest. Breast reduction can help women feel lighter and more able to do things they love, like run, exercise, and jump without discomfort or pain.
95% of breast reduction patients report feeling satisfied with their results. This is because, even though society places an emphasis on large breasts, many women feel as though their oversized breasts get in the way. Their breasts distort their silhouette at times, making them appear larger all around than they really are. With smaller, more proportional breasts, women report feeling more satisfied with their bodies.
Women with large breasts are often limited in what they can wear. With more proportional breasts, you can wear whatever you please, without your oversized chest getting in the way. You may find yourself engaging in activities you never could before, like joining an exercise class or running. Now that you feel lighter and more able to do those things without feeling weighed down – the sky’s the limit!
The side boob phenomenon is where you wear clothing, such as a bathing suit or dress, that accentuates the side of your breast. To achieve this look, breast augmentation can help the breast appear more contoured, rounded, and defined so that it is distinct from the rest of your frame.
Your cosmetic surgeon may use breast implants, fat grafting, or both to achieve the side boob effect. You will be able to discuss with your surgeon regarding the size and thickness of the breast implant to achieve your aesthetic goals. While it used to be commonplace to choose the largest, thickest breast implant available, it is now more common to see smaller and more realistic implants in use. Your surgeon can advise you of the proper size of the implant to reduce the risk of rippling or wrinkling.
There is one more issue that should be discussed when referring to breast surgeries. For women with inverted nipples, there is now hope for correction. Inverted nipple correction is a simple, proven procedure that leaves minimal scarring. The results look natural with little downtime.
Inverted nipples, also referred to as innies, describe nipples that have folded into themselves. This is usually characterized by a slit in the center of the nipple, but not always. There are varying degrees of nipple inversion. While typically a sign of a developmental disorder, nipples that become inverted later in life can also be a sign of cancer and should be checked by a doctor immediately.
A woman’s breasts play a critical part in her sense of self and her external appearance. That’s why breast cancer can be particularly devastating to the emotional health and wellbeing of patients beyond the physical rigors of cancer and its treatments.
At Möein Surgical Arts, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Babak Moein spends a good portion of his time and effort performing cosmetic surgery for women’s breasts, and he’s seen firsthand just how much a restored bust appearance can help a woman’s self-worth and self-esteem. That’s one of the reasons why he is so passionate about supporting the fight against breast cancer and supporting breast cancer awareness and treatment.

Are you tired of having a dad bod? Has Father Time done a number on your fatherly face? You don’t have to take your age progression sitting down. Stand up and take your youth back by choosing a daddy makeover, the latest in male plastic surgery.
A Daddy Makeover is a term given to a group of cosmetic procedures for men. You may have heard about Mommy Makeovers. These groupings of surgeries often include breast augmentations, thigh lifts, and buttock enhancements.
As the stigma of men having cosmetic surgery lifts year after year, more men are opting for these procedures. You could consider 2021 the year of the daddy makeover, with these procedures only expected to gain in popularity in the future.
If you don’t like something about your face or body, now you can change it. You can do so by visiting your local cosmetic surgeon’s office and asking for the daddy makeover.
The biggest benefit of the daddy makeover is that you get to choose multiple male cosmetic procedures in a single session. That means you are only exposed to anesthesia once and you don’t have to undergo multiple surgeries, which can increase the risks to your health. Daddy makeovers minimize those risks with shorter recovery times to boot. Here are a few male surgeries (and non-surgeries) that are commonly included with the average daddy makeover.
Gynecomastia or male breast reduction surgery is for any man who has developed “man boobs”. Male breast growth can be caused by obesity, genetics, and certain medications. The result of the surgery is a flatter, more masculine chest.
Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. There were 258,000 lipo procedures performed in 2018, which is just behind breast augmentation. With lipo, you can lose the love handles, and shrink the beer gut. Liposuction removes the stubborn fat that doesn’t readily respond to diet and exercise. With lipo, your surgeon can sculpt your body nearly all over, including your abdomen, arms, thighs, buttocks, flanks, chest, chin, and cheeks.
HD-Lipo is for the man who wants a more defined physique. Using ultrasound energy, VASER HD can give you a more toned body, and “ripped” contours, the kind you usually have to slave for in the gym. This technique takes standard lipo up a notch, letting you take your body to the next level.
Too much belly fat can make you look out of shape and older than your age. A tummy tuck can transform your midsection. The surgical technique can even repair and strengthen your abdominal muscles. During the cosmetic procedure, excess fat and tissue are carved away, leaving a trim abdomen behind. Ask your cosmetic surgeon about the scarless tummy tuck also, which uses skin tightening Renuvion to rejuvenate your midsection without major surgery.
Age tends to show heavily on the face and neck. Some call it wisdom, but you may not see it that way. You want the droopiness gone, and those deep folds erased away. For you, there is the facelift. One in ten facelifts is performed on men, which makes this technique an excellent addition to a daddy makeover. There are several different types of facelifts, including the scarless facelift with Renuvion.
Your eyes tend to show the effects of aging before other parts of your body. To correct saggy and droopy eyelids, your surgeon may recommend blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery. During blepharoplasty, your surgeon will lift your eyelids by cutting away the extra skin around the upper and lower eyelids, and sometimes around both. Puffy eyes can also be corrected by cutting away the extra fat and tissue, leaving your eyes looking younger and more vibrant.
Nose surgery aims to alter the size and shape of your nose. Rhinoplasty can remove bumps, correct crookedness, and reshape the tip. If there is a problem with the structure of your nose, this surgery can also help you breathe better. Nose surgery can dramatically improve the appearance of your face, though the swelling can take up to a year to subside. Ask about rhinoplasty and any questions you might have during your cosmetic surgery consultation.
While you’re having surgery on some parts of your body, you can opt for non-surgical techniques on others, such as your face. Here are two to consider.
Millions of people have used injectable neurotoxins to smooth away fine lines, treat migraines, and stop hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. Botox is one example of an injectable neurotoxin, and the one most are familiar with.
These safe and effective injectable cosmetic treatments can also treat forehead creases, crow’s feet, and muscle spasms around your eyes and in your neck. Don’t let the name keep you from experiencing the amazing power of these treatments as part of your daddy makeover.
As we age, certain areas of the face tend to lose layers of fat, bone, and muscle. This effect can cause wrinkles to deepen, making them more apparent. Injectable fillers add the layers back to your face with instantly visible results. A single treatment can hide your wrinkles, making you look years younger. Many fillers contain collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are compounds that rejuvenate the skin. Fillers can even improve the appearance of scars.
One consideration you will have to make when preparing for a daddy makeover is deciding on the ideal anesthesia for your procedure. Anesthesia is a medication that numbs you during surgery. Once placed under anesthesia, you won’t feel discomfort or pain. Thanks to advances in medical technology, anesthesia is safe and effective. Understanding the options you have available can help to ease your mind.
General anesthesia renders you completely unconscious. Not only will you be completely numb, but you won’t remember anything about your surgery. The anesthesiologist will administer the medicine intravenously, in most cases. Some surgeons will use a mask for inhalation. The surgeon will monitor your vital signs throughout the surgery, including your heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure, to ensure your safety.
Daddy makeover procedures can involve several surgeries in one session. For that reason, your surgeon will likely choose general anesthesia for safety reasons. Another option available to your surgeon is to use IV sedation and local sedation at the treatment spot. This is known as “twilight sedation” and tends to be easier on the body during recovery.
Of course, some daddy makeover techniques don’t require anesthesia at all. Examples include neurotoxin injections and dermal fillers.

Buttock augmentation is the best way to fill out your jeans when having a nice butt isn’t exactly in your genes.
Whether you have a flat, nonexistent, or misshapen butt, you can now have the backside of your dreams with a variety of buttock enhancement procedures. Studies show these surgeries are becoming more popular than ever, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that buttock augmentation surgery increased by 252% between 2000 and 2015. And that every thirty seconds, a butt surgery is performed in the U.S.
It’s no wonder why buttock augmentation is in such high demand. The surgeries are safe, they produce natural-looking results, and they let you emulate the rear end of your favorite model, musician, celebrity, or athlete. You can even turn back time with a more youthful derriere.
Here are the most common buttock augmentation procedures we offer at Moein Surgical Arts in Los Angeles, California.
The most popular types of buttock enhancement surgeries include butt implants, butt lifts, and augmentation with fat grafting also referred to as the Brazilian Butt Lift.
When you want more shape to your buttocks, silicone implants can give you the contours you crave. Everyone has heard of breast augmentation using breast implants. With the use of implantable devices, surgeons are able to give women larger, more rounded busts. Butt implants work the same way, except they are specially designed to be implanted into each butt cheek.
Like breast implants, butt implants are made of silicone, which is non-toxic and unlikely to be rejected by your body. The surgeon performs this operation by making incisions in each cheek, whereby the implants will be placed under the skin or muscle. The methods for placing butt implants differ depending on the size of the implant, patient’s body type, and surgeon’s preference. You will be able to choose the size of the implant together with your surgeon during your initial consultation.
The Brazilian Butt Lift has become so popular, many patients are beginning to ask for it by name. During the BBL procedure, your cosmetic surgeon will suction fat from another area of your body using liposuction. The fat will typically be taken from your thighs, flanks, or abdomen – anywhere you have excess fatty tissue. (Note: if you don’t have much fat to draw from, silicone implants may be the better option for achieving your body shape goals).
The fat is then injected into the buttocks to improve the overall shape and add volume. In some cases, your surgeon will opt to combine the BBL with silicone implants to accentuate your results.
With this procedure, a specialized filler called Sculptra is injected into the soft tissue of the buttocks. The doctor will perform this surgery in his/her office with no downtime. The material adds some volume at the time of injection with greater results appearing over the span of a few weeks or months.
In most cases, a Sculptra butt lift requires a few sessions to see the most significant results.
If your butt sags and droops, a traditional butt lift can help you fight gravity for a backside you can be proud of. During the procedure, your surgeon will make an incision along your backside, whereby the excess skin and fatty tissue will be cut away. The area is then lifted and secured in place using stitches or sutures. The result is a firmer-looking backside.
Butt surgery has a 95.6% satisfaction rate, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Nevertheless, buttock enhancement surgery does come with some risk, as do all surgeries. The most common side effects are excessive bleeding, pain, scarring, infection, skin discoloration, fluid accumulation, allergic reactions, and skin loss. You may also experience nausea and vomiting from the anesthesia.
By choosing a buttock augmentation specialist you can trust, you can reduce your chances of experiencing complications. You should choose your body contouring surgeon based on the professional’s education, training, and certification, as well as their experience level when it comes to buttock enhancement. Finally, you should always choose your surgeon based on how comfortable you feel with that person.
Sitting down with a cosmetic surgeon to inquire about butt surgery is a good first step. During this first meeting, you can ask questions and have them answered by the very professional who will be performing your surgery. If you live in Los Angeles, California, and want a backside that fills out your clothes and looks terrific in photos, call Dr. Babak Moein of Moein Surgical Arts.
Dr. Moein offers telemedicine consultations at first, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for your ultimate safety. A consultation with Dr. Moein can give you answers to your most pressing questions and give you a chance to consider the various butt surgeries that might be right for you. Find out if you are a good candidate for surgery by calling (310)694-4486.

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed in the United States. With lipo, you can have fat extracted from your belly and virtually everywhere else on your body. You can even have your ankles and cheeks lipo’d, if fat accumulates there. Many people, men and women alike, use liposuction to achieve their ideal body shape goals.
What isn’t well known is the permanence of a procedure such as liposuction. Does the belly fat stay gone forever, or will it return?
To better understand how long the fat stays gone, it helps to understand how liposuction targets and removes the fat from your body. The fact is, yes, liposuction is permanent, but that’s not the end of the story. Fat can return but the situation is not as clear cut as you may think. Here is the full “skinny” on lipo so that you can become a better informed consumer and patient.
The goal of liposuction is to remove fat cells from targeted areas of the body. There are several liposuction techniques commonly used today. All of them use a combination of an aspirator and cannula. An aspirator is a suction device that extracts the fat while a cannula is a hollow tube that acts as the extraction instrument. Together, the tools of the cosmetic surgeon’s trade can make you thinner on your waist, flanks, chest, arms, legs, and even your butt.
Fat doesn’t “return” after lipo. Those fat cells you had extracted do stay gone forever. However, it is possible to grow new fat cells. That’s why it is important to try and maintain your post-lipo weight to avoid skewing your results.
A weight gain of even five to seven pounds could lead to less dramatic body contours. A boost in weight to that degree could easily happen over the holidays and could lead to new fat cells growing on the treatment areas.
A significant weight gain (10% of your body weight or more) could lead to even more skewed results. The good news is that the human body is designed to gain weight all over. That means that, even with a slight to significant weight gain, your treatment areas will still have less fat than non-treatment areas. That means that your body will still look “improved”, even as the scale climbs.
You can avoid any skewed results by maintaining your weight. If you can manage that, the fat will never return, and you’ll continue to look great, whether you’re in clothes or in your birthday suit.
The best way to sustain your liposuction results over the long-term is to adopt the right habits. Here are six lifestyle changes to consider.
Food today tastes out of this world. Many of the foods we enjoy are also packed with calories, many of which our bodies don’t need. Consider tracking your food with a smartphone app. That way, you can determine how many calories you are eating for your body type and lifestyle. Even if you don’t record all your meals in an app, be cognizant of how many calories you take in. Be sure to adjust for your level of activity, whether you are athletic, moderately active, or sedentary.
Drinking water is the best way to keep your body running efficiently. Staying hydrated can also keep excess pounds at bay. Do your best to drink your weight or half of your weight in liquid ounces each day. A 150-pound woman would drink 150 ounces or 75 ounces of water. A 220-pound man would drink 220 ounces or 110 ounces, or somewhere in between. Carry water bottles with you whenever possible to remind yourself to always drink your H2O.
Instead of eating three big meals, consider eating six smaller meals throughout the day. You can break your meals in half or plan smaller and healthier choices accordingly. Eating lighter and more frequently has been shown to give you more energy throughout the day. Anyone who has ever consumed a heavy meal in one sitting knows the lethargy that follows. You don’t get that when you eat a bit, wait, then eat a bit more, throughout the day. Making all of your meals ahead of time can ensure you have healthy choices to turn to whenever you need. Planning will also keep you from reaching for unhealthy foods whenever tempted.
It may seem counterproductive to eat all day long when trying to maintain your weight. However, skipping meals can have the opposite effect. When you skip a meal, you may find yourself starving. That’s when you are likely to reach for a high-sugar and high-fat snack in a pinch. Once again, plan your meals. Choose a Sunday or another day out of the week and cook all of your healthy meals, storing them in Tupperware and other easy-serve containers. While you’re at it, get junk food out of your house so you can eat without feeling guilty.
You don’t have to be a fitness fanatic to maintain your weight. A walk for 20 to 30 minutes a day, a few times a week, is all it takes to maintain your fitness. That is, if you maintain a healthy diet. It’s said that abs are made in the kitchen and you can’t outrun a bad diet.
If you eat healthily, you can maintain your weight with moderate exercise. Try something fun – like a fitness class or an intramural sport – something that will get you excited about moving your body.
Your cosmetic surgeon will likely give you tips for achieving the best results with your liposuction procedure. These include the right foods to eat and the best ways to exercise. These tips can be applied as you are healing and afterward, once your results are realized. Deviating from these instructions can lead to unfavorable results. Making your doctor’s advice part of your newly adopted habits is the best way to enjoy enviable liposuction results long into the future.
