Riverside Tummy Tuck

jen — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 08:36:59 +0000

Almost everyone who undergoes a significant, dramatic weight loss is going to have some amount of excess, sagging skin left over. Excess, sagging skin around the abdomen is also common in women who have had multiple pregnancies. It can be an emotionally traumatizing thing to deal with and can destroy confidence, as well as hinder fashion choices. People who are in good health and have been at a stable, healthy weight for at least 6 months, and who have excess skin around the abdomen are generally good candidates for Abdominoplasty.

Abdominoplasty is a procedure to remove the excess skin around the abdomen. There are several varying types of Abdominoplasty, or Tummy Tuck, procedures depending on the amount of work that needs to be done. One thing to keep in mind when considering an Abdominoplasty procedure is that the scar from this surgery will be permanent, but most plastic surgeons work hard to ensure that it will be easily hidden by most undergarments or swim wear.

Contact our office to schedule a consultation to find out if Abdominoplasty is right for you.

These days, more than ever before, the options available to those wanting to turn back time and erase a few of those common signs of aging, are numerous. In previous years the only option available was a Face Lift surgery.

Inland Empire BOTOX injections are one of Dr. Andreasen’s most popular procedures. It is an effective, efficient and easy way to keep up a youthful appearance.

Inland Empire Breast Lift

jen — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:58:09 +0000

It is not uncommon for women, particularly later in age, after weight loss or pregnancy and breastfeeding, to find themselves dissatisfied with the direction their breasts have begun to head in. All of these factors, as well as genetics, contribute to causing breasts to sag. While there is no one perfect solution for each woman, many women have chosen to undergo a Breast Lift procedure to restore their breasts to a more youthful position. Board certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Andreasen has helped many Inland Empire-area women in their quest to restore a more youthful appearance to their breasts.

During a Breast Lift procedure an incision- the size and shape of which will be specifically determined depending on the amount of lift necessary – is made around the areola area. The areola and nipple are typically left intact to their original blood supply and nerves. The excess skin which is sagging is removed and the breast is re-positioned higher. The areola is also generally repositioned higher to match the newly positioned breasts. In some cases the areola may also be re-shaped or re-sized, then the remaining skin is closed around the areola creating perkier, more youthful and firmer breasts.

If you live in the Inland Empire or Ontario, California area and are interested in learning more about if a Breast Lift surgery may benefit you, contact our office today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Andreasen. We look forward to helping you in any way we can!

Body Contouring – Liposuction Inland Empire

jen — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 02:29:39 +0000

We are all pre-destined to have different trouble zones- parts of the body that are more difficult to impossible to lose weight and tone, despite our best diet and exercise efforts. Theses trouble zones vary person to person, but some common areas are the stomach, arms, hips, thighs, buttocks, and back. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andreasen has helped countless Inland Empire area patients, men and women alike, improve these trouble zones or pockets of stubborn fat from their body to create a more contoured, balanced body shape.

The liposuction procedure works by utilizing a long skinny tube which literally sucks the fat out. This tube is inserted into the trouble zones through tiny incisions. Often liposuction is used in conjuncture with other body contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to create the most optimum results. It should be noted that while liposuction does remove fat- it is not a weight loss treatment and is best suited for those in otherwise healthy conditions to remove isolated pockets of fat.

View before and after photos of actual patients of Dr. Andreasen who’ve undergone Inland Empire liposuction. If you are tired of battling your trouble zones, contact Dr. Andreasen today set up an appointment for your confidential consultation.

Arm Lift – Right To Bare Arms

jen — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 07:37:08 +0000

We are all born naturally predisposed as to where we will gain and hang on to weight. For some of us it’s our abdomen, love-handles, backside or thighs, and for some, it’s the arms. Unfortunately, it’s not always limited to just one area either! Some of us, no matter how many curls we accomplish at the gym will not be able to lose the amount of weight desired to get the definition desired. That said, people who have lost a significant amount of weight, either through diet and exercise or gastric bypass, are often left with sagging excess skin around their arms and other areas as well.

Brachioplasty, also known as an Arm Lift, is one solution available to treat these issues. To be considered an ideal candidate for this procedure, it’s preferred that you’ve been at a stable weight (not considered obese) for the past several months, do not smoke, are in good health and have realistic expectations about the procedure- realize that you aren’t likely to come out of the procedure with Jessica Biel’s biceps! What you can expect to get out of it, however, an improved, tighter version of your own.

Contact Dr. Andreasen to schedule your consultation to learn more about Brachioplasty.

Non-Invasive Facial Rejuvenation – Ulthera Inland Empire

jen — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:39:50 +0000

At a certain point in all of our lives, the inevitable occurs… our first signs of aging. From the heavy, low-sagging brown, wrinkles, and creases to fine lines and crows feet, the process is rarely something welcomed with open and enthusiastic arms. These changes to the face often make us look more tired and rundown than we feel inside. To counter these changes, there have been many surgical and non-surgical treatments available over the past few decades, but none as non-invasive or high-tech as Ulthera.

Ulthera utilizes the 50+ year technology of the Ultasound to identify the loose tissue below the skin. Next, Ulthera sends sound waves, or energy, to the specified area. This energy heats to lifts and tightens the loose skin without disturbing the quality of the surface skin, but this initial tightening is just the first effect of the Ulthera treatment, the second of which is that it stimulates your body’s creation of new collagen which will continue to help your skin achieve and maintain that smoother, more youthful appearance.

A relatively quick treatment, the procedure takes only about 30-60 minutes with initial results visible immediately and final results visible in the following months as your body responds to the collagen growth. Ulthera cannot replace the major transformations surgical treatments offer, but for those experiencing the earlier signs of aging, Ulthera can be a wonderful treatment which requires no recovery period and can rejuvenate your skin to keep it looking healthy and beautiful.

Inland Empire Mommy Makeover
