Breast implants are one of the more commonly performed plastic surgery procedures in the United States. More than 285,000 women received breast implants in 2014. Although it has been clearly demonstrated that ruptured implants do not cause harm, women should consider potential complications when making the personal decision to have breast implants. A ruptured breast implant is one such risk.
More patients are traveling out of the country every year seeking plastic surgery. The primary reason for traveling abroad is lower cost, but other reasons can include lack of knowledge of the risks involved in surgery and returning to one's homeland. No matter what the reason, it is a growing concern for plastic surgeons with an estimated 750,000 US residents expected to travel abroad for medical treatment in 2014.

Preparing for Treatment
During your consultation, a member of the Finesse Plastic Surgery team will evaluate your skin and determine which treatment regimen will be best for your skin. They will also ask you questions about skin conditions that you may have experienced or skin care treatments that you have undergone in the past, as well as any medications that you are currently taking.
Chemical Peel
Chemical peels involve applying a variety of acidic solutions directly to the skin in order to exfoliate dead skin cells. Through this process, new skin is generated resulting in a more revitalized skin complexion. Chemical peels are most often performed on skin that has been affected by age, sun damage, or uneven pigmentation.
Chemical peels can be selected to treat superficial, medium or deep layers of the skin. Superficial peels are great for patients looking to get a refreshed look with minimal downtime. With deeper peels the skin takes longer to recover but the results are more profound.Our team will help you find the peel that is best for you depending on your skin type, your desired outcome, and how much down time you are ok with.
ZO Skin Health, ZO Medical
Our skin care lines are some of the most popular products available. These products penetrate deep below the skin’s surface to reverse cell damage caused by aging and sun exposure to create more youthful looking skin. These skin care lines include toners, cleansers, and treatments that help the outer dead layer of skin to slough off over a series of weeks, leaving a noticeably clearer complexion. ZO can significantly improve the appearance of wrinkled and sun-damaged skin and can also be used in younger patients in a preventative fashion to help maintain a youthful appearance.

Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is used to treat fine line wrinkles, diffuse and excessive redness, and scars with no downtime. The laser gently heats the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen regrowth to reduce wrinkles. The heat also dilates capillaries to reduce redness. Most patient need 4-6 treatments to achieve optimal results.
Pearl
The Pearl is our laser of choice for fine wrinkles. The Pearl is a fast, minimally invasive resurfacing laser treatment with a strong safety record. Most patients need one to two treatments and can see the effects of the treatment within a week. Most patients are fully recovered within 3-4 days.
Pearl Fractional
The Pearl Fractional laser is used for moderate to severe sun damaged skin and deeper wrinkles. This laser allows deep treatments with minimal discomfort and relatively short downtime. The procedure is usually done with an anesthetic that be applied to the skin or injected as a local nerve block. Many patients see the results they want in only one treatment session. Most patients experience 5 days of downtime before the skin is presentable socially.
Pearl Fusion
The Pearl Fusion is a combination treatment using both the Pearl and the Pearl Fractional devices. This powerful combination of technology is a very effective way to treat deeper, more resistant wrinkles.
IPL
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions including brown age spots and fine blood vessels. IPL is also used as a photofacial treatment that results in a more youthful, glowing appearance of the skin. The treatments are fast and painless with no downtime.

Lip Enhancement
Like most parts of our body, the lips also show signs of aging as we get older. They often begin to lose shape and develop lines that can make the face look less attractive. Lip augmentation is a minimally invasive procedure that restores volume and fullness to the lips while reducing the appearance of fine lines to give individuals a more youthful look. Our Orange County plastic surgeons regularly perform lip augmentation using Juvederm® and Restylane® for people who desire more attractive lips.
Are You A Candidate For Lip Enhancement?
Ideal candidates for lip augmentation are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of their procedure.
You may be a candidate for lip augmentation if you have one or more of the following:
- Lips that have lost volume due to aging
- Lips that have developed fine lines or wrinkles
- Lips that are asymmetrical
- A desire to achieve fuller and more shapely lips
Preparing For Your Lip Enhancement Procedure
There is hardly any preparation needed for the lip augmentation procedure. Our team of plastic surgeons will give you detailed instructions about how to prepare for the procedure.
Generally, you should stop smoking and taking anti-inflammatory medications, such as aspirin, two weeks before your lip augmentation treatment is carried out to minimize bruising and swelling and to reduce the potential for any problems.
Lip augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis and takes just a few minutes to complete. A local anesthetic may be used in order to reduce discomfort in the lips before one of our surgeon’s team members administers the injections. After the lips are numbed, a very fine needle is used to inject the filler to minimize any discomfort.
At Finesse Plastic Surgery, we offer two of the most popular choices for lip augmentation. Both injectables are FDA approved and made from hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the human body. Your choices of injectables include:
- Juvederm®
- Restylane®
During your consultation, our team will take your preferences into consideration and help you decide which type of injectable will be most beneficial for you.
Lip Enhancement Recovery
Once the injections are complete, patients can immediately return to work and resume their daily activities. The lips may be slightly swollen and tender to the touch, but this will subside as the anesthetic wears off. Over the counter pain medication can also be taken to further alleviate these symptoms, if needed.
Lip Enhancement Results
The results of a lip augmentation are immediately noticeable and will continue to improve over the coming days and weeks. Oftentimes, individuals are very happy with their new appearance and and feel more confident about themselves knowing that their facial appearance looks more sensual and youthful. The results of lip augmentation generally last between three and six months. To maintain long lasting results, it is best to undergo followup treatments every 3-6 months.
Our surgeons will perform your lip augmentation procedure with the highest grade of safety and effectiveness.

Say Goodbye to Stubborn Fat. It’s called stubborn fat for a reason: no matter how much you eat healthy and exercise, it’s virtually impossible to lose those annoying muffin tops, love handles, and belly pooch. You’re left with two options: live with them or think surgery. Now there’s an easier solution: CoolSculpting. Only CoolSculpting targets fat cells alone, eliminating them in an easy, non-intrusive fashion that exercise and diet can’t achieve as quickly or as effectively.The Cool Solution is the More Natural Solution. Procedures that use laser, sonic waves and even surgery to remove fat can actually destroy other tissue in the process by burning, shattering or extracting nonfat cells. This requires downtime for your body to heal. Fortunately, CoolSculpting doesn’t burn, shatter or extract any cells.
Developed by Harvard scientists, this unique, FDA cleared, patented procedure uses a targeted cooling process that kills the fat cells underneath the skin, literally freezing them to the point of elimination. Only fat cells are frozen. Your healthy skin cells remain, well, healthy. No knives. No suction hoses. No needles. No scars. Once crystallized, the fat cells die and are naturally eliminated from your body. In a few months, boom: say hello to a new you. Minimal Downtime and Lasting Results. Unlike a lot of other procedures, CoolSculpting takes very little time and is pretty simple to fit into your daily life. After your CoolSculpting treatment you can typically get right back to your busy day. Each treatment lasts one hour – the same time you might spend at the gym. So you can easily fit your appointment into a lunch break. After one visit, you’ll typically see a noticeable reduction of fat. It takes a few months to fully realize the effects, mainly because it takes that long for your body to naturally dispose of the fat cells. And yes, you can lose even more with additional appointments if you and your doctor deem it necessary.
So after a few months, your clothes will fit better and you will look better. What’s more, there are no pills or supplements. And as long as you maintain your normal diet and exercise, your long term results should remain stable. Hello, you again. How cool is that?
