![]() Welcome to our plastic surgery blog. Plastic surgery generates a great deal of interest, but there is much misinformation floating around. This blog is designed to provide real-time information about this rapidly evolving field, and allow for the exchange of ideas through questions, answers, and comments. Thanks for stopping by! Please send questions by email to info@rdps.com or find more information on www.RodeoDrivePlasticSurgery.com. We were pleased to have the people from CNBC at our offices recently. They came by to talk about our plastic surgery gift card and a few other things. We brought in several patients for them to meet and interview and they filmed a tour of our facility. The show was called "High Net Worth" and features many interesting stories on new lifestlye trends.The report they did came out to be a lot of fun. You can view it, and other plastic surgery news, on our main web site. At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery we want plastic surgery to be as rewarding and convenient as shopping with our neighbors here on Inspired by Patients Our patients gave us the idea for the gift card. Many of our patients bring friends in for consultations that lead to plastic surgery with positive results and lifestyle improvements. Our patients do seem to enjoy giving friends and loved ones a gift of our services. Husbands give plastic surgery as a present to their wives, and wives give to their husbands. Children give to their parents. We see more and more people giving plastic surgery presents. An Elegant and Memorable Present To make the giving process as elegant and memorable as possible, we designed our electronic gift card. The card comes packaged in a custom-designed card holder insert and envelope, designed by a local artist. We hope that when you give friends and family this present, it will provide an opening glimpse of the attentive and caring service we deliver throughout the plastic surgery process. Of course our plastic surgeon will examine the recipient of your gift to decide if they are a candidate for a given procedure, and make recommendations based on their goals, exam, and overall medical status. A Product of Our As the only plastic surgery center on Rodeo Drive, ![]() ![]() ![]() We are very pleased to have created an appealing and special art collection here at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery. Because our focus is on aesthetics, we apply this to our environment just as we do to our work doing Los Angeles plastic surgery. To that end, we have taken time and effort to make our office setting warm, inviting, and elegant. Part of this includes our art collection. We have three original Andy Warhol lithographs, as shown on the images here. These are part of his series on flowers. The suite of three pieces is called Kiku, which is Japanese for crisanthamum. They provides striking images with luscious colors and warmth. We also have several paintings by the esteemed local artist Adolfo Girala. I have one his beautiful pieces in my personal office, and we have other pieces by Adolfo in each of our exam rooms. Adolfo is originally from Cuba and this background has helped inform his work. He has many images of the sea, with interesting fish characterizations, and also does wonderful abstract work. We were pleased to present an art show of his works last year at our office. We are looking forward to putting together more of these art shows to feature local artists. We hope that when you are visiting us for such procedures as Beverly Hills breast augmentation, you will enjoy the art and the entire environment of our office here on Rodeo Drive! ![]() Nip/Tuck is joining Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery on our famous street. This is truly a case of fiction meeting fact: We are the only real-life plastic surgery center on Rodeo Drive and now TV's most famous fictional plastic surgeons are coming to our location. I imagine the writers on the show chose to move to Rodeo Drive for the same reasons we built our plastic surgery center here. The street represents style and glamour, perhaps like no other in the world. We try to bring the same sense of luxury, great service, and innovation to plastic surgery that our neighbors bring to fashion and shopping. It will be interesting to see the storylines that develop around this theme. While we love being here and our patients seem to enjoy coming to see us here, it does appear certain that the plotlines will be pretty far afield from what we see day to day here at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery doing Beverly Hills tummy tuck and other procedures.. Nip/Tuck does have some pretty outlandish goings-on. It will be fun to watch. But it is probably for the best (both for our doctors, staff, and patients) that in some ways real-life is different from fiction. After all, who wants to get a Beverly Hills facelift and during their recovery encounter the sorts of strange twists and turns that befall people on television. Stay tuned! ![]() We are all products of our environment. And certainly this is the case for us here at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery. We are the only plastic surgery center on Rodeo Drive. Our neighbors are not low-key; they are the finest boutiques in the world. These high-end stores define the very best in style, taste, and service. We seek to do the same when we do all of our procedures, such as Beverly Hills liposuction or Los Angeles tummy tuck. What does this mean? Well, at the start it meant that we designed our center to be welcoming and elegant. We hired and trained our staff to pay attention to all of your needs so that entire process surrounding your plastic surgery is as smooth and rewarding as possible. It means we are constantly seeking to improve our services and to provide innovative treatments. One example of this is our Rodeo Drive Belly Button, which we do as part of all our tummy tucks. Our approach to tummy tucks changed and advanced based on feedback from our patients. They told us that belly buttons in standard tummy tucks simply did not allow them to show off their new tummies the way they had hoped. We listened and now work to provide the most pleasing belly buttons out there following tummy tucks. Our neighbors on Rodeo Drive also inspired us to change our approach to Los Angeles breast reduction. Most procedures worked to make the breasts smaller. We work to take things a step closer, and make our reductions have an even more pleasing final shape in addition to providing a decrease in size and a lift. We worked with boutique owners here on Rodeo Drive to best understand modern style and fashion trends so we could create an approach to breast reduction that allows our patients to wear the types of fashionable clothing sold here on Rodeo Drive. So we at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery take our name seriously. So whatever procedure you are considering, large or small, Beverly Hills liposuction or a Botox touch-up, rest assured that just like our great neighbors on Rodeo Drive, we will always bring the best in service and style to your care. People of different ethnic groups often come to plastic surgeons seeking to refine the appearance of their noses. Modern Beverly Hills rhinoplasty techniques like those done at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery stress preservation of ethnic appearance along with overall facial balance. The nose should match the rest of the face. Ethnic rhinoplasty or nose job works to achieve this while providing the improvements and enhancements sought in the nose.
Ethnic groups often tend to have certain characteristics to their noses, both in terms of their outer appearance and of their internal structures. For this reason, it is best to address the noses of various ethnic groups such as African Americans and Hispanics and Asians individually. “Cookie cutter” approaches to rhinoplasty rarely work well, and this is especially the case with non-caucasian nose surgery. There are many examples of how this individualized approach offers the best outcome in ethnic rhinoplasty. For instance, many people of Asian and African and Latino descent have noses with wide bases and broad tips. They often also have thick skin at the tip of the nose. This can give the tip a rounded or “bulbous” appearance. Non-caucasian noses often also have a bump at the bridge, along with a wide and flat bridge. Because of these anatomic tendencies, ethnic noses frequently require extensive work on their internal structures to create the desired appearance. This includes using plastic surgery to change the shape of the bone and cartilage inside the nose, while working to create little or no external scarring. Since this internal structural work is extensive, it can have important effects on the function as well as the appearance of the nose. For this reason, the Rodeo Drive Breathe Easy RhinoplastyTM technique -- which works to improve both the appearance and the breathing function of the nose – is especially well-suited to providing good results in ethnic rhinoplasty. Some rhinoplasty and plastic surgery techniques are commonly used for African American, Hispanic, and Asian noses. The flatter noses common in many ethnic people can be addressed by grafting cartilage from elsewhere in the body to shape the skin of the nose’s tip more finely, and provide it with a refined appearance. In some cases, the nostrils are noticeably wide and benefit from direct steps to narrow them during surgery. Prior to your procedure, you will meet with your plastic surgeon to discuss your goals from rhinoplasty. It is important to have clear ideas of what you want to change about your nose so we can come up with the best plan for your nose surgery. ![]() It has now been nearly two years since the FDA approval of silicone breast implants for general usage. We are now doing an enormous number of breast augmentations with silicone. This type of implant does offer some fantastic benefits and the potential for remarkable results. Read on for a bit of the history and description of silicone. After more than ten years of controversy and scientific study, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved silicone gel breast implants for general usage. They are now available to all women ages 22 and higher for both reconstructive and cosmetic breast surgery. The availability of silicone implants will greatly expand the options for women seeking cosmetic breast augmentation. In many situations, they have real advantages over saline breast implants. They tend to look and feel more natural than saline implants. They are less prone to rippling or crinkling which can sometimes be felt and occasionally can become visible under the skin. They are lighter than silicone implants. However, they are thought by some to have a higher rate of capsular contracture, which is scarring around the implant and can make the breasts hard. In countries where both silicone and saline implants have been available the vast majority of patients and surgeons select silicone implants. This is testimony to their advantages. In the US, we are likely to see a large number of patients select silicone breast implants. But there will still be a place for saline implants. Some people might simply prefer not to have silicone placed in their body. Silicone implants are more expensive than saline implants. In some cases, the implant is used as a sort of platform to elevate the normal breast tissue rather than to give the breast the entirety of its shape. In this situation, saline implants function just about as effectively as silicone implants. Silicone implants have not been shown to cause autoimmune diseases such as arthritis and lupus, as had been feared. But patients should realize that any breast augmentation procedure is essentially temporary. Body shape and anatomy can change, there might be problems with healing or the body's reaction to the implant. At some point, it is likely that additional procedures may be necessary. At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, we are already doing quite a few breast augmentations with silicone implants. I expect we will see many more people interested in the procedure in the next few months as we do our California plastic surgery. Many of today’s moms don’t feel they should sacrifice the way they look just because they’ve had children. At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, we specialize in patients in their 20s, 30s and 40s. This often includes women who have had babies. These women usually want their tummies and breasts back the way they looked before pregnancy. This is our most popular procedure at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, and we do a lot of them right around Mother's Day! More information about The Rodeo Drive Mommy Makeover is available on our web site, including descriptions of tummy tuck in Beverly Hills and Beverly Hills breast augmentation as well as Los Angeles liposuction. You can also email for more information at info@rdps.com or call us at any time at 310-550-6300. ![]() An emphasis on beauty and aesthetics brings the artistic sensibilities of vastly different mediums together at our Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery Art Shows. Our first art show was held in June 2006 and was a great success, bringing together our staff, patients, neighbors from the Rodeo Drive area of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, and fans of fine art. The Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery Center is aesthetically designed to be elegant, light, and welcoming. It has proven to be a great showplace for fine art. The center uses stone, bamboo, glass, marble, steel, and the overall layout to create a pleasing environment. The permanent art collection features three original Andy Warhol's and many other noteworthy pieces of art. Dr. Lloyd Krieger, our medical director and plastic surgeon, and Dr. Chris Dannaker our dermatologist, seek to create aesthetics with their plastic surgery procedures and other treatments -- just as with the office design and as our featured artists do with their work. Our first show featured Adolfo Girala, an emerging, Cuban-born abstract artist. Adolfo is self-taught and believes that his art allows him to dive into the realm of his inner world. His art brings emotion to color and canvas in a way that is completely unforgettable. Adolfo's work is mixed mediums of dry pigments, acrylic paint, modeling paste and different types of gel mediums. Through the use of different particles of metallic flakes, and glazing techniques, he creates an illusion of inner light which can only be truly appreciated in person. We plan on making these fine art shows a regular feature at our California plastic surgery offices. ![]() ![]() Please send questions by email to info@rdps.com or find more information on www.RodeoDrivePlasticSurgery.com. ![]() The Rodeo Drive Belly Button Plastic surgery has become a staple of popular culture, but often, lost in the furor, are simple stories on ways to give patients pleasing results. At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery we specialize in abdominoplasty, commonly known as the tummy tuck. This process is performed on men and women who have excess skin and fat around the abdominal area. It is very useful after pregnancy, or for people who have lost weight. One thing we have found is that a good looking belly button is crucial to making patients happy with their tummy tucks. During a tummy tuck, the belly button is removed from its surrounding skin and moved to a new position. But what makes the procedure done at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery unique is that the bottom of the belly button is stitched more tightly to the deeper tissue to highlight a natural effect. The result has become known as The Rodeo Drive Belly Button. Since the standard re-creation of a belly button was often "floating" in the belly, it did not have a natural appearance. The belly button was not attached to the deeper and surrounding tissues in a natural fashion. The Rodeo Drive Belly Button was created to address these issues during our approach to Los Angeles tummy tuck. It creates a stronger "hood" at the top by stitching the top of the belly button loosely to the deep tissues of the abdominal wall. This creates a solid platform for piercing, and also throws a darker shadow within the hole of the belly button, creating a more natural appearance. The bottom of the belly button is stitched more tightly to the deeper tissues to highlight these effects. At Rodeo Drive, we're working with younger patients than used to get tummy tucks. Now we're doing the procedure on people in their late 20's and early 30's -- these are women who want it all, family, career and a great body. Many of the women in this generation have their belly button pierced. Current fashion for younger women also calls for low-cut jeans that show off the belly button. We also do the procedure frequently on men, and they want to their belly buttons to look natural when they are at the beach. This technique for reshaping the belly button during tummy tucks serves these sorts of patients very well. It can be combined with other parts of body contouring. One example is the Rodeo Drive Mommy Makeover. Another is that the procedure can be combined with Los Angeles liposuction. Lloyd M. Krieger, MD is a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon the founder and medical director of Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA. He welcomes your questions and comments by phone at 310-550-6300 or email at info@RodeoDrivePlasticSurgery.com. We are very proud of our web sites here at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery. And we have a lot of them! Our goal in making these sites is for them to be educational, easy to interact with, nice to look at, and to provide easy access to lots of good information about all aspects of plastic surgery. To this end, we have created some broad educational web sites that cover all aspects of plastic surgery.
We have also created a number of specialty web sites, covering compete detail of such procedures as breast augmentation or liposuction. In fact, we have web sites dedicated to these procedures as well as to tummy tuck, rhinoplasty, and breast reduction. Within the web sites, we try to make all the information as easily accessible as possible. We have before and after pictures of various procedures. We have video of procedures, our philosophy, a tour of our facility, and patients describing their experiences. We hope that by bringing a great deal of information forward in diverse and multi-media formats, our visitors will learn still more about plastic surgery. One example is our Planning Your Procedure and Recovery sections, which provide great detail about getting ready for surgery. Another is our Breast Augmentation Information Center, which also brings large amounts of knowledge into one spot. We keep our web sites very up to date with new trends, new techniques, and other plastic surgery news. We have links to our blogs (and we have several of these, too!). One of our blogs focuses exclusively on educational articles about plastic surgery. As we do Los Angeles cosmetic surgery, we always find that knowledgeable patients are our happiest patients. They also tend to get the best results. They understand all the steps of the process and the likely results, so they can contribute most effectively to creating a great outcome. We designed our web sites to help with this education process for our patients. ![]() The nose is the center of our face. As such, it always grabs the attention of those who look at us. Its appearance helps create our overall facial harmony. The nose also has an important functional component. It does our breathing. Its function is complex, and any alterations done to the nose can have profound effects on our ease of breathing. Among plastic surgery procedures, rhinoplasty is perhaps the most challenging. This procedure is often called a nose job. Paying attention only to aesthetics can lead to problems with breathing following this plastic surgery procedure. Paying attention only to breath flow can compromise aesthetics. Our surgeons work to overcome these potential difficulties by using their different perspectives to focus simultaneously on improving both appearance and function. Because of its equal importance in appearance and breathing, our Beverly Hills plastic surgeons have developed The Rodeo Drive Breathe Easy Rhinoplasty. Our two plastic surgeons do all of our rhinoplasties as a team. We have different but complementary training and backgrounds that they apply to your rhinoplasty. This interdisciplinary approach provides you with the benefit of a broad perspective and skills during your evaluation and treatment. We give equal focus to the cosmetic and functional aspects of your rhinoplasty in Los Angeles. The Rodeo Drive Breathe Easy Rhinoplasty is beneficial for all rhinoplasties and nose surgery procedures, and that’s why we always bring this approach to your nose surgery. But in some cases, we believe it is especially useful. Some of these complex situations where our approach brings added benefit include ethnic rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, and rhinoplasty for men. The recovery from rhinoplasty varies for each person. Sometimes there will be some bruising for a week or so. We sometimes put packing in the nose for a few days, and you will have to breathe through your mouth during this period. You may have a plaster or silicone splint on your nose for about a week. Most people have very little discomfort following the procedure. Almost everyone tells us that the improvements in their appearance and function are well worth any short-term inconvenience! For more information, email us at info@RDPS.com. As we do Los Angeles plastic surgery, we find that many of our patients lead active lifestyles. Some people have told us of their concern that having plastic surgery will keep them from working out and going to the gym for many weeks and months following their procedure. That’s why we’ve developed our Back to the Gym Program. By working closely with you, we often can get you back to exercising shortly after plastic surgery – while maintaining your safety and assuring that you stay on course to have the best possible result from your procedure.Our Back to the Gym Program involves several steps: • During your plastic surgery consultation, we review your medical history. If there is a medical reason or indication, we arrange for you to be evaluated by a primary care physician or, if indicated, by a specialist. We review your typical exercise regimen with you in detail. • Once we decide which cosmetic surgery procedure you will be having, we begin planning what sorts of exercises are safe for you and when you might begin them. • Depending on the procedure you undergo, we arrange for you to obtain specialized garments to protect the areas of your body we worked on. • During and after your surgery, we implement our Minimal Pain Program, which helps you feel less discomfort following your procedure so you can return to normal light activities more quickly. • We see you several days after your surgery, before you begin to work out. During this visit, we confirm that your recovery is going as expected. • We then discuss very specifically what sorts of exercises you can begin doing and when. We tell you warning signs to watch out for, and should make you slow down your activities. We arrange for your plastic surgeon to speak with your personal trainer, if you use one. If you’d like, we have trainers we work with and we can arrange for you to exercise with these professionals after your surgery. • We maintain close contact with you, both by phone and frequent office visits, to make certain that your physical activities continue to go smoothly without slowing your overall recovery. There will of course be limitations to the types and intensity of exercises you can do and when you can start doing them. And if you experience any warning signs of overexertion you must stop what you are doing immediately. Our Back to the Gym Program requires good communication and frequent visits to our office. But we find this extra effort on our part and yours improves the overall plastic surgery experience for many of our patients. The program can be applied to all procedures we do, such as Los Angeles breast augmentation and Beverly Hills tummy tuck as well as liposuction, among others. Lloyd M. Krieger, MD is the founder and medical director of Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA.

While every day seems like a car show on the street, with its Bentleys, Ferarris, and Lamborghinis cruising the boulevard, at this event the the cars are parked along the street. The show features both new and antique exotic cars and attracts a very nice crowd. People travel from around the country both to show their cars and to see them. I was happy to go to the event this year with my mom and dad for Father's Day.This is the sort of event that makes happy to be located right on Rodeo Drive. The very small local community on the Drive does tend to stick together and work toward providing an environment that is both sophisticated and welcoming. Of course, we could have designed and built our plastic surgery center anywhere in town. After all, it is possible to perform Los Angeles liposuction or Beverly Hills breast enlargement in many locations. But by being a part of the local Rodeo Drive community, we are constantly in touch with the latest lifestyle, fashion, and customer service trends. Because of this close association with our elegant neighbors, we are in the best position to constantly improve the services we provide. We also have a great feel for fashion design and this helps us remain at the cutting edge of plastic surgery. Our philosophy is that at its core Beverly Hills plastic surgery is about helping people achieve their desired lifestyle. And by interacting closely with our boutique neighbors we gain a constantly evolving understanding of new lifestyle trends -- from those who are the ultimate tastemakers and trendsetters. Rodeo Drive Community events like the annual Rodeo Drive Car Show keep us in touch with our neighbors and spur our efforts to constantly improve the plastic surgery service we provide for our patients. At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, we are doing a lot of liposuction as people get ready for the summer. We now do our procedures with a technique we call Skin Activating Liposuction and have been very excited by the results. With our Beverly Hills liposuction procedures, we add an extra step to the process. We intentionally irritate the underside of the skin. When skin is irritated in this way, it tends to heal with some internal tightening. This approach works to help the skin shrink more tightly, so once the fat is removed the resulting overall contour should be improved.We have found that the technique works very well for subtle treatments such as chin and neck liposuction. In cases such as this, the extra skin shrinking defines the angle of the jaw more cleanly and sharply. The procedure is also very useful for larger volume liposuction, such as that shown in the photos above. When we are removing four or five liters of fat, the skin has a lot of shrinking to do. This technique helps to stimulate the process. In many cases, though, even Skin Activating Liposuction will not do the job. If there is too much extra skin, or if the skin has been over stretched (which is the case whenever there are stretch marks) then other procedures are necessary that actually remove skin. Such procedures as tummy tuck and thigh lift will provide improved contour in these situations. We can tell you which procedure -- our Skin Activating Liposuction or another technique that actually removes skin -- will work best for you based on your body type and current situation. When we examine you we will tell you our recommendations! ![]() The "lunchtime facelift" has been the holy grail in plastic surgery for quite a while. The idea of providing facial rejuvenation with no downtime appeals to both plastic surgeons and patients. Get your treatment, look improved and freshened, and immediately go back to work or out on the town or, for some of our entertainment patients here in Beverly Hills, head over to the red carpet at an awards show. Who wouldn't want to get their facial rejuvenation and then have no recovery? Essentially all of the so called "no downtime facelifts" or "lunchtime facelift" simply did not live up to their billing. As a plastic surgeon, I know that surgery involves recovery. It is just the way the body responds to a surgical procedure. But now we have many nonsurgical techniques that can create instant facial freshening -- removing or smoothing wrinkles, plumping lips -- with no recovery. Botox, Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, Sculptra and other new products provide facial rejuvenation and do not create scars or undue swelling. They can help achieve that elusive goal of improvements without downtime. These products work very differently. When we do Los Angeles Botox we are using the chemical to paralyze some of the tiny muscles in the face. The twitching of these muscles creates a skin wrinkle on the skin that lies above it. Botox is extremely safe, its results are predictable, and can create fantastic improvements in facial appearance. My sister recently had it for the first time, and it dramatically improved and freshed the look of her face. The Los Angeles skin fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm provide bulk under the skin to fill in wrinkles from below. They are very effective for both small lines and larger ones, such as the nasolabial folds which run from the sides of the nose toward the outside edges of the side of the mouth. Each person's face is different, so each person will do best with a different noninvasive treatment. But the various procedures do provide fast changes with little or now recovery. For more information please email us at info@rdps.com. ![]() Day after day, people come to our office and request big changes to their appearance but with minimal downtime. Some people don't want to take much time off from work. Others don't want their friends to know they had surgery. Others just plain want their recovery to go quickly. Of course, some people are just active and want to return to their normal lives as quickly as possible. For these reasons, Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery is now offering a transformational minimally-invasive plastic surgery procedure known as Rodeo Drive Chin Rejuvenation. This cosmetic surgery procedure is often ideal for patients who are tired of seeing that double chin staring at them in the mirror, no matter how much they exercise or how much weight they lose. Rodeo Drive Chin Rejuvenation is not a big procedure, in that it does not take a long time in the operating room or have a prolonged recovery period. Despite its minimally invasive nature, this cosmetic surgery can make a big change in a person’s appearance. In the past, patients would need a facelift or necklift to deal with this problem of excess fat under the chin and in the neck. This Los Angeles liposculpture procedure offers and alternative. For appropriate candidates, the chin lipo procedure is effective, minimally-invasive, has little downtime and successfully addresses the problem of the annoying “double chin” or overly full-looking neck. This chin and neck liposuction procedure can dramatically improve appearance with minimal downtime. The chin liposuction procedure, compared with the routine facelift or necklift, is more affordable, easier to recover from, has much shorter and fewer scars, and can have remarkable benefits for the ideal candidate. Rodeo Drive Chin Rejuvenation is ideal for both men and women. But men, who often fight an uphill battle with their double chin look, can particularly benefit from this procedure. When we see people in our offices we examine them and discuss recommendations for the type of chin liposuction, facelift, or necklift procedure and recovery program to yield the best results. The chin liposuction procedure is usually done as an outpatient with local anesthesia and sedation administered by a physician anesthesiologist to minimize discomfort and maximize safety during the procedure. We do the procedure at our state-of-the-art outpatient plastic surgery center in Beverly Hills. Most patients have very little pain following the surgery because long-acting local anesthetic is administered as part of the procedure. Most people return to work within several days after surgery. There may be some bruising for a week or so and some swelling for up to two months following surgery. Some procedures will always need to have a defined recovery period. This is the case for our Rodeo Drive Mommy Makeover. It can be the case for California tummy tuck. But the chin rejuvenation procedure provides impressive results with much less down time.
