Lips define a person’s smile. When lips are thinned due to age or genetics, self-confidence is quickly diminished. Safe injectable fillers and Permalip implants are easily the best way to reverse the signs of aging, or create a smile that you never had.
Lip Implants
The Permalip implant is an appealing option to injectable fillers. They are available in three different sizes to custom fit your lips. After making two small incisions, Dr. Gonzalez will insert this silicone implant directly into the lip area. The implant is then situated in the upper and lower lips to give you the look you desire.
This type of implant requires a local anaesthetic along with superficial numbing. Most patients recover from lip implant surgery within 7 days, though the results of this procedure are instant.
Benefits
Directly following any lip enhancement procedure, patients will be able to see a dramatic change in appearance. Lips will look fuller, larger, and more youthful. In addition, self-confidence is restored almost immediately creating a lasting impact that often changes a patient’s life.
Injectable Fillers
Fillers refer to various safe substances that can be directly injected into the lips in order to enhance lip tissue. Through a carefully and accurately placed needle, Dr. Gonzalez will be able to produce the lip size and shape that you desire. The overall shape of your new lip area will be decided upon during an initial consultation with Dr. Gonzalez.
Following this procedure, the lip area may swell slightly, though most patients are able to return to regular daily tasks right away. FDA approved injectable fillers including Restylane, Perlane®, and Juvéderm™ are available.
Most men experience at least some degree of hair loss in their lifetime, with the numbers increasing continuously with age. By their late 20’s, approximately 12% of men experience some hair loss. By the time a man is in his 50s, he has a greater than 50% chance of displaying some genetic baldness.
The psychological effects of male hair loss vary greatly, with some people barely paying attention to their thinning hair and others being affected so severely that even a small amount of hair loss can limit their ability to feel comfortable in social situations and prevent their normal functioning at work. It is important that those who are having unusual difficulty dealing with their hair loss receive psychological support or counseling as well as medical treatment.
Fortunately, there are a number of excellent medical treatments that can prevent or postpone male hair loss when in its early stages and surgical hair restoration treatments that can restore a completely natural look, even if the hair loss has advanced. Over the past 10 years, treatments have improved dramatically, particularly with the introduction of the oral medication finasteride (Propecia) and the development of the surgical hair transplant procedures Follicular Unit Transplantation and Follicular Unit Extraction. Over the next decade we look forward for further progress towards the goal of cloning ones own hair, a technology in which significant progress has been made, but that is not yet available.
Hair transplantation technology has evolved so much in recent years that hair can now be transplanted exactly the way it grows naturally — in follicular units.Follicular unit hair transplants are the most effective method of hair transplantation. They result in hair coverage that’s the closest to nature. What this means for you is a look that was never before possible, and an appearance so natural, you may forget it’s not.
How Our Hair Transplants Work
During the hair transplant process units of one, two or three hairs are moved from a donor site at the back of the head to the areas where hair growth is needed. Once transplanted, the follicles are no longer susceptible to hair loss and will naturally continue to grow. So no matter what age you reach, you’ll be reaching it with a full head of great-looking real hair.
What makes the Hair Transplant process successful
Microscopic Follicular Unit Hair Transplants involve the use of high-powered surgical microscopes to divide the donor strip into its natural hair growth units. They are considered the gold standard in hair transplant technology. Dr Gonzalez perform Microscopic Follicular Unit Hair Transplants exclusively. He believes in using only leading hair growth technology that will produce nothing less than exceptional results. Because exceptional is exactly what he wants your new life to be. His technique allows him to maximize graph yields that ensure more coverage and better hair transplant results.
This surgical procedure is designed to enhance the size of the buttocks. Buttock Implants can be done by using silicone implants or fat from a person’s body, known as fat transfer. Patients who desire buttocks augmentation generally lack fat in this area, or are unable to develop proportionate gluteal muscles. The objective of a gluteal implant or fat transfer is not only the augmentation of the buttocks but also to, concomitantly, shape, round,firm and rejuvenate them.
Surgery of the posterior body contour may result in significant changes to the body and enhace beauty. The most important characteristic of a beautiful behind are projection, the gluteal crease, firm tissues quality of skin and flawles skin surface. This surgery is frequently sought by women who are unhappy with the size of their buttocks. Some feel their buttocks lack shape, while others want to have a more sensuous backside by making them larger and rounder. For those that have had underdeveloped buttocks, buttock implants can now provide them with a more proportionate figure. Not only has this helped improve their appearance, but for many they have also gained a boost in their self-esteem and self-confidence.
The incision is usually made in the buttock crease, where scars are not noticeable. The doctor then creates a pocket large enough to insert the butt implants. The implants can be placed either under the gluteus maximus muscle, or on top of the muscle.
Sometimes, the doctor performs liposuction in order to further enhance the shape of the buttocks.
After performing the same procedure on the other buttock, the doctor makes sure the buttocks are symmetrical and look natural. Then he/she stitches up the incisions.
The best part is tha the doctor can now perform this procedure under consious sedation, although some doctors use a local anesthetic along with a sedative. Anesthesia type should be discussed with your doctor during the initial consultation.
Gynecomastia is an abnormal enlargement of one or both breasts in men. Milk production may or may not be present. It is fairly common among men. It is a physiologic phenomenon that occurs during puberty, when at least half of males experience enlargement of one or both breasts. Pubertal hypertrophy is characterized by a tender discoid enlargement of the breast tissue beneath the areola and usually subsides spontaneously within a year.Gynecomastia also is common among elderly men, particularly when there is associated weight gain.This condition is usually temporary and benign. It may be caused by hormonal imbalance, medication with estrogens or steroidal compounds, or failure of the liver to inactivate circulating estrogen, as in alcoholic cirrhosis.It tends to remit spontaneously but, if marked, may be corrected surgically for cosmetic or psychological reasons.
It can be the first sign of a serious disorder such as a testicular tumor. Medical evaluation is always indicated when breast enlargement occurs.
Less commonly, gynecomastia may be caused by a hormone-secreting tumor of the breast, lung, or other organ. Biopsy may be performed to rule out the presence of cancer.
It is more common, however, in patients with Klinefelter’s syndrome. Pseudogynecomastia is breast enlargement due to fat accumulation.
Pseudogynecomastia can be distinguished by physical examination. The examiner places the thumb and forefinger at opposite margins of the breast. The fingers are then brought slowly together along the nipple line. Enlarged glandular tissue can be recognized as a rubbery to firm disk of tissue concentric to and beneath the areolar area. The tissue often is freely mobile and may be exquisitely tender to palpation during the acute phase of development of gynecomastia.
