NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### 360 TUMMY TUCK *Transform Your Lower Torso with Dr. Siamak Agha* A **360 tummy tuck**, also known as a **circumferential tummy tuck or belt lipectomy**, is a highly specialized body-contouring procedure designed to address loose, hanging skin and stubborn fat that encircle the entire lower torso. Unlike traditional tummy tucks, which primarily focus on the front of the abdomen, this surgery targets the abdomen, waist, lower back, and buttocks, providing comprehensive transformation for patients with significant skin laxity. [.divider-lines]While some surgeons use the terms circumferential tummy tuck and lower body lift interchangeably, they are distinct procedures. [] A 360 tummy tuck typically focuses on **tummy tuck, waist reduction, and buttock lift**, which may not fully address skin laxity in the thighs, pubic area, or lower back. This comprehensive strategy allows Dr. Agha to sculpt the lower torso with precision, restoring natural curves, tightening lax skin, and enhancing overall body proportion. #### Why Choose Dr. Siamak Agha for Your 360 Tummy Tuck **Dr. Siamak Agha** is internationally recognized for his expertise in advanced body contouring, abdominoplasty, and body lift procedures. He has performed **hundreds of 360 tummy tucks** and High-Definition Lower Body Lift™ procedures, including complex revisions and post-weight loss surgeries. Dr. Agha combines **surgical precision with an artistic eye**, ensuring that results are natural, balanced, and harmonious with each patient’s body. Unlike many surgeons, he approaches this circumferential procedure as **more than just skin removal**. He sculpts the waist, abdomen, and buttocks to restore proportion and enhance overall silhouette. His expertise extends to** minimizing scarring, contour irregularities, and postoperative complications**, even in patients with extensive skin laxity or previous abdominal surgeries. By leveraging advanced techniques in** lipocontouring, muscle repair, and layered closure**, Dr. Agha consistently delivers results that are both aesthetically impressive and functionally supportive. Patients also benefit from Dr. Agha’s **personalized approach**. Every surgical plan is customized to the patient’s anatomy, goals, and health status. He invests time in thorough consultations, ensuring patients fully understand the procedure, recovery, and expected outcomes. This commitment to individualized care is why patients consistently report **high satisfaction rates and transformative results.** #### Who Is a Candidate for a 360 Tummy Tuck? A 360 tummy tuck is a more invasive procedure than a standard abdominoplasty, so patient selection is critical for safety and optimal outcomes. This procedure is ideal for patients who have **significant skin laxity or excess fat **resulting from: - **Massive weight loss**, either through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes - **Previous liposuction**, which can leave loose skin behind - **Aging**, which naturally reduces skin elasticity Patients who choose this procedure are often looking for life-changing results: a firmer, flatter abdomen, sculpted waist, lifted and rounded buttocks, and smooth contours from the waistline down to the thighs. While recovery may take longer than a standard tummy tuck, the results are transformative when performed by a surgeon with **expertise in extensive body contouring**, such as Dr. Siamak Agha. Dr. Agha evaluates each patient individually, considering factors like **skin quality, fat distribution, muscle laxity, and overall health**. He ensures that candidates are **medically fit for surgery**, and he develops a customized surgical plan tailored to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. #### Transformative Results and Life-Changing Impact A 360 tummy tuck performed by Dr. Agha can** dramatically improve quality of life**. Beyond aesthetic benefits, patients often experience: - Enhanced **mobility and comfort **due to reduced excess skin - Improved **clothing fit**, allowing for greater wardrobe options - Boosted **self-confidence** and body image - Relief from skin irritation and chafing For patients who have undergone **massive weight loss**, this circumferential approach can be especially life-changing, addressing areas that no diet or exercise alone can improve. Dr. Agha’s expertise ensures that the results are **proportional, natural-looking, and durable**, restoring the patient’s body confidence. #### How a 360 Tummy Tuck Is Performed by Dr. Siamak Agha A 360 tummy tuck is a multi-step procedure performed under **general anesthesia**. Dr. Agha’s surgical approach is meticulous, balancing **safety, function, and aesthetics** to create natural, harmonious results.

Surgical intervention may be required. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content One of the most common medical conditions associated with pregnancy and obesity is abdominal hernias, especially umbilical, para-umbilical , and ventral hernias. An abdominal hernia is defined as a defect in the abdominal wall muscle that results in extrusion of bowel through the defect. This defect is gradually caused overtime as a result of the increased intra-abdominal pressure due to pregnancy or obesity. Initially the bowel can move in and out of the abdominal defect but with time, the bowel can become stuck and result in severe abdominal pain and bowel obstruction. In additional gastric bypass surgery can also result in incisional hernias. These are abdominal hernias that are a result of a surgical incisions from open gastric bypass surgery or laparoscopic surgery. These hernias can be very hard to treat when you’re struggling with obesity, and can cause a lot of pain in the abdomen. They may also put you at risk for infection, produce obstructions in the intestines, and in some cases can cause dangerous complications. #### Causes of Abdominal Hernias *in Weight Loss Patients* In weight loss patients, abdominal hernias may be the result of: - **Increased intra-abdominal Pressure** – Those that are struggling with obesity naturally have a great deal of pressure pushing against their abdomen at all times. The smallest weakness can be pushed open from intra-abdominal pressure alone, causing the bowel to be pushed through the abdominal wall. Obesity is one of the leading causes of abdominal hernias. - **Post-Bariatric Surgery** – Abdominal hernias occur because of a weakness in the abdomen. That is why some hernias are more common than others, such as the umbilical hernia and the para-umbilical hernia, which occur near the belly button (a naturally weaker area of the body). But some hernias can be man-made, such as incisional hernias which occur at the sites of former surgeries. Post-bariatric patients are especially at risk, since the weight loss surgeries often cause weaknesses in the abdominal wall. #### It’s Not Uncommon to Ignore Hernias Obesity can result in abdominal hernias that are not easy to repair. Most surgeons will not be able to fix a larger ventral or incisional abdominal hernias until the patient has lost significant weight and the intra-abdominal pressure (which is the cause of the hernia) is reduced. While waiting to lose weight, the abdominal hernias can progressively become larger and occasionally more complicated. They can even result in bowel obstruction which will may need emergent surgery. The best time to repair an abdominal hernia is after significant weight loss. Not only weight loss reduces the cause of the hernia, but also the abdominal muscles can now be brought together to close the hernia opening. #### Fixing the Hernia and Flattening the Abdomen For those that have been considering a [tummy tuck](/tummy-tuck-newport-beach/), abdominal hernia repair, or both, you may be interested to know that these two can be performed together, with abdominal hernia repair completed at the same time as a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) or [lower body lift](/lower-body-lift-newport-beach/). If you have an abdominal hernia, Dr. Agha will take appropriate steps during your initial consultation to identify the cause of the hernia, the type of the hernia, and severity of the hernia. You may be sent for an abdominal CT scan to visualize the location of the hernia, the size of the hernia, and the degree of the abdominal wall defect. Based on these finding, Dr. Agha will plan repair of the abdominal hernia with or without a mesh at the time of the tummy tuck surgery. Through a tummy tuck incision, Dr. Agha will dissect the abdominal tissue off of the abdominal muscle and locate the abdominal muscle defect that represents the hernia. The hernia scar is then excised and the muscle defect repaired using multiple sutures. Depending on the severity of the defect, Dr. Agha may elect to reinforce the repair with a biological or synthetic mesh. Unlike a general surgeon who would approach a hernia through an overlying visible incision, Dr. Agha will aim to repair your hernia through a well hidden low-cut tummy tuck incision. --- ## ABDOMINOPLASTY **Link:** [ABDOMINOPLASTY](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/abdominoplasty-post-bariatric/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/abdominoplasty-post-bariatric/index.html.md)) **Description:** Having tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, after significant weight loss can help to showcase the results you've worked so hard for. ABDOMINAL LAXITY AFTER WEIGHT LOSS ### Content Abdomen is the area of the body that is situated in between the rib cage above and the thighs below. The groin crease and its continuation upwards are the landmark that separate the abdomen from the thighs. The hips are defined as the projection of the pelvis and upper thigh bone on the outer thigh, and the waist is defined as the area in between the hips and the outer rib cage. Pregnancy and/or weight gain stretch and expand the abdominal tissue in a three-dimensional manner (vertical, horizontal, and projection). Weight gain can increase the amount of fat within the abdomen (below the abdominal muscles) and around the organ systems as well as fat above the abdominal muscles (and below the abdominal skin). Unlike any other anatomical location, the intra-abdominal fat expansion affects the muscles of the abdomen by stretching them outwards. This separates the two main abdominal muscles that are responsible for the six-pack look- *rectus abdominus* muscles. These muscles form two vertical bands down the abdomen that are conjoined at the midline by connective tissue. Also, the abdominal skin will be stretched beyond its elastic capability and result in breakage of the deeper dermal layer of skin. In many cases, after significant weight loss, the stretched out skin is unable to completely spring back and contract. The degree of deeper skin damage (dermal tear), visible as stretch marks, dictates the ability of the skin to retract to its initial form. Thus, the abdominal skin and tissue hang loosely while the abdominal wall musculature bulges out. Often there is surplus skin and underlying fat in both the upper and lower abdomen. However, the most significant changes are seen below the umbilicus, where excess tissue hangs, over the groin area to a varying degree, as a pannus. Apart from bulging of the abdomen, the waist skin is often loose with remaining excess fatty tissue. In most patients the lower abdominal pannus can be seen merging with the lower back hip roll on the sides. As a result of the changes in the muscle, fat, and skin of the abdomen, an abdominoplasty or a tummy tuck is probably the most valuable procedure for a weight loss patient. Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess abdominal skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles of the abdominal wall. [View Gallery](/gallery/body/tummy-tuck-before-and-after-photos/) #### Types of Abdominoplasty Or Tummy Tucks Offered by Dr. Agha There are many types of abdominoplasties that Dr. Agha performs routinely. In addition to these, Dr. Agha has developed his own signature abdominoplasty that he calls “high-definition tummy tuck” since it refines the abdominal contour in a 3-dimensional form. #### High-Definition Low-Cut Tummy Tuck This procedure was developed by Dr. Agha and is his signature tummy tuck procedure. In fact, Dr. Agha does not perform the standard tummy tuck procedure. During this procedure, Dr. Agha will recreate an hour-glass contour of your abdomen, applying many of the aesthetic features of [ideal abdomen](/blog/what-makes-your-abdomen-beautiful-and-how-can-you-achieve-it/): defined *rectus abdominus* silhouette with oblique waist indentation, and vertically oriented navel in a narrow midline depression. The hi-definition tummy tuck is very different than the standard tummy tuck and was trade marked by Dr. Agha in 2007. The procedure has a low-cut incision that is 1 ½ inches lower than the standard tummy tuck incision and removes about 1 1/2 inches of pubic hair. It therefore lifts the pubic area in every patient and corrects pubic laxity that most tummy tuck patients have. Next abdominal skin and fat are elevated over the muscle in a specific way that was developed by Dr. Agha. The abdominal muscles are then tightened and a sculpted abdominal look created. The hi-definition abdominoplasty recreates a 3-dimensional not flat, natural-looking but re-defined abdomen that most your gym-going friends will envy.

The hi-definition abdominoplasty recreates a 3-dimensional not flat, natural-looking but re-defined abdomen that most your gym-going friends will envy. #### Inverted-T or Fleur-de-lis Tummy Tuck This procedure is best suited for those patients who have lost significant weight and end up with fullness of their sides and flanks as well as a large hanging pannus. The patient often starts with an apple body shape or V-shape and presents with both vertical and circumferential abdominal tissue laxity after weight loss. These patients often will have very wide aprons that start below the rib cage and extend as a lower body pannus. The width of the apron dictates what type of a tummy tuck is needed. For these patients, a standard or full tummy tuck will only correct for the vertical laxity of the abdomen and does little for the loose sides and flanks. Hence, a Fleur-de-lis tummy tuck or a [flankplasty](/flankplasty-post-bariatric/) may be needed in order to tighten the abdominal circumference. The Fleur-de-lis procedure combines the use of a horizontal incision over the lower abdomen with a vertical incision on the mid-abdomen, forming an “inverted-T” pattern. Through this inverted T incision, the abdominal muscles are tightened, the excess circumferential abdominal tissue is removed via the vertical part of the incision, and the lower abdominal tissue excised through the horizontal incision. Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty is also suitable for those patients who already have a large midline incision due to previous abdominal surgery or open gastric bypass surgery. Whereas most plastic surgeons are quick to perform a fleur-de-lis, Dr. Agha will make every effort not to place an unsightly scar on his patients. Dr. Agha personally prefers a flankplasty to a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty since the incisions are placed on the sides rather than the center of the abdomen. Also, with flankplasty, not only the abdomen is tightened circumferentially, but also the back skin is pulled forward and tightened. #### Reverse Abdominoplasty Correction of the abdominal laxity involves both the abdominal region and its surrounding tissues. Some weight loss patients present with a roll of tissue below the breasts and over the lower chest. In these cases, the excess tissue appears as a roll that extends from the front towards the back. Typically, these patients would have had a larger upper body before the weight loss, such as a V-shaped body shape. In these patients with upper abdominal rolls, correction of lower abdominal tissue excess through a tummy tuck does very little for the lower chest/ upper abdominal skin rolls. This is because of the connective attachments of the upper abdominal rolls to the rib cage. To get rid of these rolls, a reverse abdominoplasty is required to remove excess skin and fat in the area under the breasts. A reverse tummy tuck is a relatively uncommon procedure that can be used in conjunction with breast reduction or breast lift or an upper body lift. Dr. Agha performs a reverse tummy tuck in 2 different ways depending on the need of the patient. 1) In a female patient, when the mammary crease and the breast are low on the chest, usually over the 11-12 rib rather than the 6 rib, a reverse tummy tuck with reconstruction of the mammary crease at a higher position results in a tighter upper abdomen, a higher mammary crease, and breast positioning over the mid-chest. In these cases, an incision is made along the mammary crease through which the breast unit is lifted and the mammary crease is reconstructed about 2 inches higher. The lifting of the mammary crease results in tightening of the upper abdomen without actual removal of the upper abdominal skin and tissue. 2) When the breast and mammary crease have not moved down on the chest, then a reverse tummy tuck is only needed in order to tighten the upper abdomen. In these cases, an incision is made along the mammary crease through which a crescent of upper abdominal skin and tissue is removed and the upper abdomen is lifted and secured at the mammary crease incision. Sometimes, the crescent excisions under each breast on the left and right side are joined together across the midline to excise a larger segment of lower chest and upper abdominal skin excess. A reverse tummy tuck is best done at the time of a bra-line upper body lift and breast reshaping procedures. Dr. Agha has extensive experience with this procedure and has published his experience with **over 88 reverse abdominoplasty surgeries with reconstruction of mammary crease at a higher position**. This is the highest series of published reverse abdominoplasties. (Management of upper abdominal laxity after massive weight loss: reverse abdominoplasty and inframammary fold reconstruction. Agha-Mohammadi S, Hurwitz DJ. Aesthetic Plast Surg. 2010 Apr;34(2):226-31). #### Abdominoplasty for Weight Loss Patients As has been mentioned above, weight loss patients often have sagging skin of the upper and lower body. The degree of the skin laxity varies from one patient to another and some may opt for a less extensive body contouring procedures. However, most weight loss patients benefit from an extended tummy tuck or circumferential abdominoplasty or a lower body lift. When a patient does not want a circumferential incision, an extended tummy tuck uses a customized longer tummy tuck incision to not only remove lower abdominal skin excess, but also some of the waist tissue on the sides. For other patients who want a circumferential tummy tuck, a 360-degree incision on the lower abdomen and back is used to remove excess abdominal tissue, waist tissue, and lower back/upper buttocks hip roll. In both of these tummy tuck surgeries, the vertical incision of Fleur-de-lis is reserved for those rare patients who have lost significant abdominal girth and have a wide abdominal pannus. #### Is Circumferential Abdominoplasty the Same as a Lower Body Lift? Although most plastic surgeons use the terms circumferential abdominoplasty, belt lipectomy, and a lower body lift interchangeably, Dr. Agha believe that the lower body lift is a more comprehensive surgery and should not be mistaken for a circumferential abdominoplasty. Circumferential tummy tuck and lower body lift differ in the amount of work done. Both procedures utilize the same 360 degrees incision, but in our practice, a high-definition lower body lift includes: 1) Tummy tuck to remove the excess abdominal tissue 2) Monsplasty- correction of pubic laxity and sag 3) Removal of the excess tissue at the waist 4) Outer thigh lift 5) Anterior thigh lift (thigh front lift) 6) Removal of the lower back excess skin together with a buttock lift7) Liposuction of lower back, love-handles, and waist. In Dr. Agha’s practice, lower body lift is typically performed in association with liposuction to bring about a better body contour and shape. Dr. Agha works to completely re-contour the body shape, enhancing and showcasing the patient’s weight loss success with a sculpted and tightened body. Thus, a [high-definition lower body lift](/lower-body-lift-newport-beach/) offers torso and thigh correction while the circumferential abdominoplasty is a torso correction and does little for the thighs.

He practices and lives in Newport Beach, California. Dr. Siamak Agha is: - Active Member of the [American Society of Plastic Surgeons](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/md/siamak-agha.html) - Diplomat of the [American Board of Plastic Surgery](https://www.abplasticsurgery.org/) - Active member of [The Aesthetic Society](https://www.theaestheticsociety.org/) - Member of the [Orange County Society of Plastic Surgeons](https://www.ocsps.org/) - Fellow of the [American College of Surgeons](https://www.facs.org/) - Fellow of the Royal College of Medicine (U.K.) - Specialized in Extreme Makeovers and Revision Plastic Surgery As a graduate of one of the top Medical Schools in the world, at [University of Cambridge](https://www.cam.ac.uk/), Dr. Agha was selected into the highly exceptional physician scientist program (integrated MD / PhD) on a scholarship funded by The Wellcome Trust. During this time, Dr. Agha’s research in Gene Therapy resulted in 2 international patents that were filed by Cambridge University. Dr. Agha then completed 7 years of residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the [University of Pittsburgh Medical Center](https://www.pitt.edu/), one of the most respected and comprehensive Plastic Surgery training programs in the United States. Dr. Agha has spent the last 20+ years, perfecting the art of aesthetic facial surgery, breast reshaping, and body contouring. During this time, he has pioneered new techniques in the field of plastic surgery such as his signature three-dimensional facelift, high-definition tummy tuck, high-definition [mommy makeover](/mommy-makeover-newport-beach/), spiral thigh lift, dermal bra-suspension breast lift, and high-definition [Brazilian butt lift](/brazilian-butt-lift-newport-beach/). These procedures offer long-lasting, natural, and superior results that are unmatched by standard plastic surgery techniques. Each one of these procedures was innovated by Dr. Agha to restore and enhance natural but sensual definitions. Instead of a pulled back facelift, a three-dimensional face lift produces a chiseled but natural facial rejuvenation. Instead of a flat abdomen, the hi-def tummy tuck restores a three-dimensional abdominal contour that is not only natural but also exudes youth and well-keeping. Instead of a two-dimensional breast lift, the dermal bra suspension breast lift produces breast projection through the creation of an internal bra. Instead of larger buttocks, the hi-def Brazilian butt lift forms perkiness and projection of the buttock cheeks while carving the lower back and waist fat away. Furthermore, Dr. Agha is considered to be a master surgeon and innovator in the field of plastic surgery after weight loss and total body lift surgery. Hence, he has written multiple peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on these topics and has appeared as a faculty at many annual meetings of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons to teach other plastic surgeons. Dr. Agha is often called an artist plastic surgeon by many of his patients and their testimonials. He takes great pride in delivering three-dimensional face/body shapes that are beautifully sculpted and perfected. Look at his Instagram to see the level of attention to detail and symmetry.

While most plastic surgeons only perform 2-3 arm lift surgeries per year (According to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons), Dr. Agha performs about 30 or more arm lift and arm lift revision surgeries every year and many more arm liposuction and refinement procedures. This extensive experience has helped Dr. Agha develop his signature Total Arm Lift™ technique. In 2007, Dr. Agha transitioned the standard arm lift incision and placed it at the junction between the arm front and back. This produces a more inconspicuous incision than the current arm lift techniques, where the incision is either placed on the brachial groove over the front of the arm or at the back of the arm through a posterior arm lift. [.divider-lines]Since then, he has addressed the issues of armpit and upper chest sagging to create the Total Arm Lift™ technique. The total arm lift is a comprehensive approach that addresses the lax skin and stubborn fat deposits of the arms, armpit and outer chest in union. [] Dr. Agha’s aesthetic eye and more than 20 years of experience in plastic surgery have allowed him to perfect his arm lift surgery so that you can rock and flaunt your slender arms for everyone to see.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Wear Your Confidence On Your Sleeve *Newport Beach Arm Contouring at The One Plastic Surgery Center* For many women, sleeveless tops are a staple in their wardrobe. Not only are they extremely comfortable during warm weather, but they also showcase firm and slender arms that often remain covered up during cooler seasons. Your arms may not get as much love as the rest of your body, but they are one of the most frequently exposed parts that get easily noticed by other people. Smooth, toned arms devoid of flabbiness and excess skin are considered sexy, even if you’re just wearing a simple tank top. The ideal arms are lean and firm, showcasing the underlying muscles. The convexity of your shoulder deltoid muscles — the rounded, triangular muscle on the uppermost part of your arm and top of your shoulder — should merge with your triceps on the back surface, framing a well-built physique. The front surface of your arms should also be slightly convex, reflecting your toned biceps. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for everyone, as the arms can serve as a repository of fats when you gain weight. The fat typically accumulates over the upper arm on the back and deltoid muscle, as well as hanging below the arms. And even after losing weight, there is the risk of developing saggy arms as you are left with excess skin that hangs loosely on your arms, resistant to diet and exercise. Aging can also do a number on your arms, as it can make you lose subcutaneous fat, leaving your skin shriveled and wrinkled. Constant sun exposure can even further expedite the aging process. [.divider-lines]If you want to flaunt your arms, eliminate unwanted fat pockets, and get rid of their “bat wing” appearance, modern advancements at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, CA have revolutionized arm contouring surgery. Now, this procedure isn't just for patients with excess skin after weight loss. It's a fantastic option for anyone seeking sculpted, toned arms.[] Arm liposuction can make your arms look slimmer, while an arm lift can help you get rid of excess fat and skin, pulling your skin taut and improving your arm contours. Both procedures can dramatically improve your upper extremities to help you achieve a divinely slender pair of arms. Read the rest of this article to know more about how you can attain the lovely arms you have always wanted. [View Gallery](/gallery/body/arm-lift-before-and-after-photos/) #### Comprehensive Arm Rejuvenation Arm enhancement surgeries are your perfect solution for troubled upper arms, eliminating any embarrassment you feel from wearing sleeveless clothes or bathing suits. Depending on your skin quality, you can undergo one of these two types of arm enhancement surgeries: Arm Liposuction – Perfect for patients who have firm, elastic, and non-damaged skin, arm liposuction sculpts and reduces the size of the upper arms by removing excess fat. Once the excess fat is removed, the skin shrinks to fit the muscles of the arms, resulting in a slimmer-looking pair of upper extremities. Arm Lift – Also known as brachioplasty, the arm lift is best for patients with sagging skin in their arms, commonly known as “bat wings.” Instead of removing fat only, this process removes excess skin and fat to fit the underlying arm muscles and markedly improve its appearance, increasing your confidence in the process. According to the [American Society of Plastic Surgeons](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/) (ASPS), the arm lift is one of the most popular procedures in 2019 for those seeking to undergo body contouring surgery. #### Defining Arms *What are the Different Arm Lift & Enhancement Techniques?* Dr. Agha plans a customized arm enhancement approach for each patient, depending on the degree of arm tissue excess and looseness. Here are the most common approaches that Dr. Agha uses. #### Arm Yourself with Confidence *Why Should You Choose Dr. Agha for Your Arm Lift?* As a world-renowned body contouring surgeon, Dr. Agha has been performing arm enhancement surgeries since 2002. While most plastic surgeons only perform a few arm lift surgeries per year, according to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Agha performs about 30 or more arm lift surgeries every year as can be seen on his [Instagram page](https://www.instagram.com/drsiamakagha/). This extensive experience has helped Dr. Agha develop his approach to three-dimensional body contouring. Dr. Agha has pioneered his own arm lift variation, where he places his incision at the junction between the arm front and back. It produces a more inconspicuous incision than current arm lift techniques, where the incision is either placed on the brachial groove at the front of the arm or at the back of the arm through a posterior arm lift. Dr. Agha’s aesthetic eye and more than 18 years of experience in plastic surgery have allowed him to perfect his brachioplasty style so that you can rock and flaunt your slender arms for everyone to see. I am 6 months out from my brachioplasty with Dr. Agha and wanted to add a picture of my arm lift scars. The placement is excellent. The scar is so small and flat. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. — Samanthia #### Waving Goodbye to "Bat Wings" *How Does Dr. Agha Do Arm Liposuction and Arm Lift?* Arm enhancement surgeries usually take 2-3 hours, depending on the technique used and how much correction of the arm contour is needed. You can usually combine brachioplasty with other body contouring procedures, such as the [upper body lift](/back-enhancement-post-bariatric/), breast enhancement, or [liposuction](/liposuction-newport-beach/). Make sure to arrange for a friend or family member to drive you to and from the surgery center, as well as assist you during the first 24 hours post-op. Here is how Dr. Agha performs your arm lift. #### Rest & Recover *How Do You Recover from Arm Liposuction and Arm Lift?* In general, your arm enhancement recovery may span a few weeks, with most patients being able to return to work within a week after liposuction but 2-3 weeks after an arm lift. Your arms will be dressed and bandaged with ACEs that start at your wrist and go up to your armpit. The dressing needs to be changed daily. If you have had an arm lift, make sure to keep the armpit area dry and clean. Dab your incisions with Dakins solution daily and cover the incisions with clean ABD. Reapply ACE bandages from the wrist and move up. Apply bandages snug but not too tight. Keep your arms elevated on several pillows (as much as possible) so that they are higher than your heart level. This reduces swelling which in turn reduces pain and tension on your incision lines, resulting in thinner scars. If your hands swell up, remove the ACE bandages completely for a few hours or over-night while keeping your incisions covered and your arms elevated. Reapply the ACE bandages after a few hours after cleaning the incision and covering them with clean ABD pads. Avoid lifting your arms above your head or activities that put tension on your incisions. Swelling is normal and may be uneven. Your arms will be swollen for 3-5 weeks before it subsides. Here is an estimated recovery timeline for your arm enhancement surgery. #### From Flaps to Fab *What Results Can You Expect from Arm Enhancement Surgery?* Getting arm enhancement surgery will give you the following results: - Flatter and firmer arm contour - Arms that are proportional to your body type and weight - More clothing and fashion choices that flaunt your arms - Increased self-confidence and improved self-esteem Even though the results of your arm lift or arm liposuction are permanent, you still need to maintain your weight and be conscious of your health and lifestyle. Otherwise, weight fluctuations may negatively affect your arm surgery results. Aging and pregnancy may also alter your long-term results. #### What is Arm Lift Revision? It is important that you get your arm lift done correctly the first time. However, if you have had less than favorable results elsewhere, rest assured that as an expert, Dr. Agha has been revising and correcting poor arm lift results for years. Dr. Agha performs around five or more arm lift revisions a year due to various reasons such as: - Asymmetrical arms after previous arm lift - Poor or wide arm lift scars - Scar asymmetry - Lack of armpit correction - Remaining excess skin - Arm banding Usually, Dr. Agha excises the existing arm scar and works through that incision. If the scar is too high, it can only be brought down so much. Although an arm lift revision will always improve your results, remember that it will never be as good as when you have Dr. Agha perform your original surgery. Each revision requires an understanding of your arm problems and a customized plan to correct them. Dr. Agha will make sure that you understand what the plan is and how much correction can be achieved before proceeding with an arm lift redo. #### Arm Lift *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Arm Liposuction or Arm Lift Done in Newport Beach, Orange County Slender, firm, and toned arms need not be a distant dream, even if you have excess fat and skin hanging from your upper extremities. With an arm lift or arm liposuction performed by a trusted, board-certified, and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Agha, you can parade your beautiful arms in any tank top or swimsuit without getting embarrassed or self-conscious. --- ## ARM LIFT, BRACHIOPLASTY **Link:** [ARM LIFT, BRACHIOPLASTY](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/arm-lift-post-bariatric/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/arm-lift-post-bariatric/index.html.md)) **Description:** Arm lift surgery, also known as Brachioplasty, can be used after significant weight loss to bring tighter contour to the arms and remove excess skin. POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content #### Arms after Massive Weight Loss Typically, with significant weight gain and loss, the soft tissue of the arm will lose its connective tissue attachments to the underlying structures and will thus sag on the under-surface, leading to ptosis (sagging) or the bat-wing appearance. Excess skin often extends from the armpit all the way to the elbow. Furthermore, the armpit tissue often sags by an inch or more. This can be a frustrating problem that leads to rashes, irritation, malodor, infection (Hydradenitis) and ill-fitting clothing issues. These problems cannot simply be treated with liposuction because when the skin is already loose, removing more fat will actually worsen the appearance of the arms. [View Gallery](/gallery/body/arm-lift-before-and-after-photos/) #### Arm Reduction Surgery Dr. Agha performs several types of arm enhancement surgeries. Please refer to our section on arm enhancement to learn about arm liposuction and arm lift surgeries. In weight loss patients, depending on the degree of arm tissue excess and laxity, Dr. Agha will plan a customized approach for your surgery. This means adequately assessing the excess skin and excess fat over the elbow, upper arms, and armpits, and even outer chest. Each of these components will determine which procedure is best for you. #### Types of Brachioplasty Dr. Agha performs multiple arm lift surgery procedures depending on the need of a patient. These can be classified as: #### Dr. Agha’s Arm Lift Incisions According to plastic surgery teachings and textbooks, there are 2 arm lift incisions. Incisions that are placed over the brachial groove of the inner arm or incisions that are placed at the back of the arm. Although, Dr. Agha used to perform the brachial groove incision at the beginning of his practice, since 2010, he has modified his incision placement to a more unique position. Dr. Agha now places his incision in the shadow area of the upper arm- in between the front and back of the arm. In this fashion, the incision becomes less noticeable when the arms are lifted. Also, for most patients, Dr. Agha performs liposuction of the elbow area to smoothen the contour when needed. #### Arm Lift Surgery Recovery The recovery period after an arm lift generally takes about 2-3 weeks. During this period, we prefer to have your arm incisions dressed with a surgical pad, and your arms wrapped in Ace bandage. Ace bandage should always be applied, starting at the thumb and going up all the way to the arm pit over the dressings. Arm lift healing can be optimized by reducing swelling. The best way to achieve this is to have your arms placed over 2-3 pillows so that the arms end up being higher than your heart level. If your hands swell up, you may remove the Ace bandages for 4-6 hours and then reapply them. During this time, keep your arms elevated. If you use your arms typing or working, then the whole upper extremity (arms, forearms, and hands) may swell up. This can cause tingling of the hands, numbness and tightness of the arms and can also interfere with your healing. Dr. Agha recommends not using arm sleeves until your incisions are completely sealed. This is because taking and putting arm sleeves on and off may actually place too much tension on the arm incisions and pull them apart. #### Arm Lift Surgery Results Arm lift surgery results in the elimination of flabby skin of the arms and an appearance of a smoothly toned upper arm. Furthermore, with L-brachioplasty, the armpit sagging is corrected and the armpits are returned to their normal position. As with other body contouring procedures, the complete benefits of an arm lift may take 3+ months to appreciate. This is because time is needed for all of your swelling to subside. The final outcome of an arm lift is dependent on multiple factors which can be broken down to three major elements. - Optimal Healing: As with any body contouring surgery, the final results of the surgery is ½ dependent on the surgeon and ½ dependent on optimal healing. - Arm skin quality: If the arm skin is robust and not damaged, the arm lift results persist for years to come. However, if the skin quality is poor due to cycles of weight gain and loss, stretch marks, dermal damage, e.t.c., then the arm skin stretches gradually after the arm lift procedure and result in about 20% relaxation at about 4 to 6 months. - Arm Lipodystrophy. This is the thickness of the fat below the arm skin circumferentially. If despite significant weight loss the arms continue to be big, then the arms will develop some sagging at about 3-6 months after an arm lift. Although a 70 to 80 percent correction is achieved, the excess fat under the arm skin will gradually sag and stretch out the arm skin and the scar. - Weight gain or loss. Although the results of the arm lift procedure are considered permanent, weight fluctuations after surgery can adversely affect your arm lift results. If patients lose additional weight of 20 pounds or more after an arm lift, they may develop more skin laxity after the procedure. Furthermore, significant weight gain can adversely misshapen the arm fat distribution. #### Arm Lift Revision As an expert body contouring surgeon, Dr. Agha usually is asked to perform about 5 or more arm lift revisions every year. The reasons for these revisions are all variable but most have to do with one of the followings: - Asymmetrical arm results - Poor arm scars - No arm pit correction - Not enough arm skin was excised and there is significant remaining skin excess - Scar asymmetry - Arm banding Although a revision will always improve the results, it will never be as good as if Dr. Agha had done your first procedure. Often times, Dr. Agha has to excise the existing arm scar and work from there. If the scar is too high, it can only be brought down so much. Each revision requires an understanding of the problems as outlined above and a customized plan to correct the issues at hand. Dr. Agha will always make sure that you understand what the plan is and how much correction can be achieved before proceeding with an arm lift redo. --- ## Arm Lift Surgery in Newport Beach: What Patients Should Know **Link:** [Arm Lift Surgery in Newport Beach: What Patients Should Know](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/arm-lift-surgery-in-newport-beach-what-patients-should-know/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/arm-lift-surgery-in-newport-beach-what-patients-should-know/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn what to know about arm lift surgery in Newport Beach, including candidacy, recovery, results, and choosing a board-certified surgeon. ### Content --- ## Arm Lift vs Non-Surgical Arm Tightening: What Actually Works? **Link:** [Arm Lift vs Non-Surgical Arm Tightening: What Actually Works?](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/arm-lift-vs-non-surgical-arm-tightening-what-actually-works/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/arm-lift-vs-non-surgical-arm-tightening-what-actually-works/index.html.md)) **Description:** Compare arm lift surgery vs non-surgical arm tightening, including results, limitations, and when surgery is the only effective option. ### Content --- ## BACK ENHANCEMENT **Link:** [BACK ENHANCEMENT](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/back-enhancement-post-bariatric/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/back-enhancement-post-bariatric/index.html.md)) **Description:** Back lift surgery is for patients seeking to remove excess skin after significant weight loss. BACK LAXITY AND ROLLS ### Content The back refers to the area that extends from the neck at the top all the way to the upper buttocks below. It can be arbitrarily divided into 3 sections for the purpose of body contouring. The upper back starts at the neck and finishes above the bra-line. The midback is the region of the bra-line and the lower back is below the bra-line and above the upper buttocks. The division is important in understanding upper and lower body changes and is planning surgeries for each. Normally the upper back does not show much change after weight loss and most of the back issues are those of the mid or lower back rolls. Significant weight loss often leaves behind extra, loose skin of the upper body; namely the chest and back. The upper body laxity can present in a vertical direction or circumferential direction. The vertical upper body laxity often presents as hanging tissue drapes extending from the rib cage in the front to the vertebral column in the back. On the back, this extra skin often forms rolls on the upper, mid, and lower back. Up to 5 anatomical rolls were identified by Dr. Strauch in 2007. These are the upper axillary roll, the breast roll, two mid back rolls and a lower hip roll. The breast roll extends from the breast tail over the chest towards the vertebral column. The midback laxity can present as one or two rolls (scapular roll and lower thoracic roll). The lower back roll (hip roll) spans horizontally over the lower back and upper buttock at the level of the waist and extends as the abdominal pannus in the front. In a study of 100 patients, Dr. Agha looked at the propensity of each back roll, each anatomical location and distribution, as well as its frequency of occurrence. Dr. Agha noted that about 20% of all weight loss patients will have minimal back skin laxity with no rolls. These patients will not need any form of upper body lift surgery. About 70% of weight loss patients will have 2 to 3 back rolls. These are usually one or both midback rolls and the lower hip roll. Dr. Agha also noted that the midback rolls are the most frequently seen back rolls in his 100 patients. Furthermore, the midback rolls appeared to consistently be seen in patients who had one or more rolls, indicating that the midback rolls appeared as one of the first back rolls. About, 10% of weight loss patients will have all the 5 different back rolls. In this population of patients, both upper and lower body lift surgeries are needed to correct for both the upper back and lower back skin excess and rolls. [View Total Body Lift Gallery](/total-body-lift-post-bariatric/) #### Upper Body Lift Surgery An upper body lift surgery defines any procedure that removes excess rolls of skin from the upper and midback (vertical laxity), lower chest (vertical laxity), and hanging tissue of the outer chest (circumferential laxity), leaving the patient with a smoother upper body and narrower chest. Depending on whether you have back rolls, outer chest tissue excess, or lower chest/upper abdominal rolls, Dr. Agha performs three different types of upper body lift procedure: (A) The bra-line (or transverse) upper body lift corrects for vertical laxity of the back and outer chest. (B) The reverse tummy tuck corrects for the lower chest/upper abdominal rolls. (C) The J-upper body lift corrects for circumferential or horizontal laxity of the chest. #### J-Upper Body Lift The J-upper body lift was popularized by Drs. Agha and Hurwitz in 2007. This procedure utilizes a vertical incision on the side of the chest in order to remove excess chest side tissue. In this manner, circumferential (horizontal) chest laxity can be reduced through a vertical incision that starts at the arm pit and ends at the mammary crease; similar to the letter J in shape. The procedure utilizes 2 perfectly planned vertical incisions on your outer chest to remove a segment of outer chest skin and underlying fat without cutting into the underlying muscles. Once the excess skin and tissue are excised, the back tissue is advanced forward as far as the breast tail. At this position, Dr. Agha anchors the back tissue using permanent sutures. This is a paramount step that is necessary in order to avoid widening of the J-upper body lift incision. The incisions are brought together and closed with suture. By itself, the J-upper body lift is enough in correcting mild back laxity. However, for more severe cases, a bra-line upper body lift is the mainstay approach for correction of upper back laxity. #### Combining Transverse and J-Upper Body Lifts For those patients who have significant laxity of the chest and back in both a vertical as well as horizontal dimension, both the bra-line and J- upper body lifts are needed in order to tighten the upper chest (reduce chest circumference) and smoothen the back. In addition, a reverse tummy tuck may be needed in order to excise the lower chest roll. Dr. Agha typically performs an L-brachioplasty, J-upper body lift, bra-line upper body lift and breast reshaping in 8.5 hours as an outpatient surgery. This allows the patient to recover in the comfort of their own home, provided they have adequate support. Recovery from upper body lift surgery can take several weeks but like all body contouring procedures, final results may take several months to achieve. #### Upper Body Lift Results Upper body lift surgeries result in the elimination of mid back rolls and outer chest sagging tissue and result in a smoother and smaller chest appearance. As with other body contouring procedures, the complete benefits of an upper body lift may take 3+ months to appreciate. This is because time is needed for all of your incisions to heal and swelling to subside. The final outcome of an upper body lift is dependent on multiple factors which can be broken down to three major elements. **1) Optimal Healing**: As with any body contouring surgery, the final results of the surgery is ½ dependent on your surgeon and ½ dependent on optimal healing. **2)** **Skin quality**: If the back and chest skin is robust and not damaged, the upper body lift results persist for years to come. However, if the skin quality is poor due to cycles of weight gain and loss, stretch marks, dermal damage, e.t.c., then the skin stretches gradually after the upper body lift procedure and result in about 20% relaxation at about 4 to 6 months. **3) Weight gain or loss**: Although the results of the upper body lift procedure are considered permanent, weight fluctuations after surgery can adversely affect your results. If patients lose additional weight of 20 pounds or more after an upper body lift, they may develop more skin laxity after the procedure. Furthermore, significant weight gain can adversely misshapen the fat distribution. --- ## BBL Heroic **Link:** [BBL Heroic](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/bbl-heroic-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/bbl-heroic-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Reveal brighter, smoother skin with BBL HEROic. This advanced light therapy treats sun damage, redness, and uneven tone — no downtime required. - NEWPORT BEACH, CA - ### Content #### Precision light. Intelligent rejuvenation. *What Is BBL HEROic?* ​What if you could achieve glowing, more even-toned skin with a treatment that’s fast, virtually painless, and requires no downtime? That’s precisely what **BBL HEROic** delivers. Short for BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output, BBL HEROic is the next evolution in light-based skin rejuvenation. Unlike traditional IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), this advanced treatment utilizes technology to deliver faster, more precise pulses of light, resulting in better outcomes with less discomfort and fewer sessions. Let’s break down how BBL HEROic works, what skin concerns it treats, and why more and more patients are choosing this non-invasive solution to correct sun damage, reduce redness, and restore a radiant, youthful glow. BBL HEROic is a cutting-edge light therapy treatment that utilizes BroadBand Light (BBL) to target a wide range of skin imperfections without damaging the skin's surface. It delivers high-intensity light pulses deep into the dermis, stimulating the body’s natural healing process to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. The “HEROic” upgrade takes it even further. HERO stands for High Energy Rapid Output, which features faster pulse rates, enhanced cooling for added comfort, and more consistent energy delivery. It results in more power, better coverage, and visibly improved results with minimal discomfort. FDA-cleared for use on the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and legs, BBL HEROic is a safe and effective treatment for larger areas of the body. #### Targeted energy. Natural renewal. *How Does BBL HEROic Work?* As the light energy penetrates the skin, it heats the targeted areas, breaking down melanin (which causes dark spots) and hemoglobin (which contributes to redness and the appearance of visible blood vessels). At the same time, this gentle heat stimulates your skin at the cellular level, kickstarting collagen production and promoting natural tissue repair. This gives you a smoother, brighter, and more even complexion over time. #### Where tone, clarity, and calm are restored. *What Skin Concerns Does BBL HEROic Treat?* Some of the most common conditions BBL HEROic effectively treats include: - Sun damage, age spots, and freckles - Rosacea and facial redness - Broken capillaries and vascular lesions - Melasma and hyperpigmentation - Dull or uneven skin tone - Fine lines and mild skin laxity - Acne and acne-related redness - Overall skin rejuvenation #### High impact. Low interruption. *Benefits of BBL HEROic* BBL HEROic is one of the fastest and most effective options for patients seeking visible skin rejuvenation without downtime. Here are its other benefits: #### Who’s a Good Candidate for BBL HEROic? BBL HEROic is ideal for men and women with sun damage, redness, and uneven tone. The treatment is most effective on lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick types I–III), as these tones respond predictably to light-based therapy. However, advancements in BBL HEROic technology allow for customized settings that may be safe for some deeper skin tones when treated by experienced providers. BBL HEROic may not be recommended for patients with active acne breakouts, infections, or open wounds in the treatment area. Likewise, if you have very deep skin tones, additional precautions or pre-treatment protocols may be necessary to ensure safety and minimize risk. #### How Does BBL HEROic Compare to Other Similar Treatments? If you’re still eyeing other options, here’s a table showing how BBL HEROic stacks up with other similar treatments: #### What to Expect from a BBL HEROic Treatment #### Potential Side Effects and Safety Considerations For most patients, BBL HEROic is well-tolerated with minimal side effects. The most common post-treatment reactions include: - Temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling - Darkening of sunspots or freckles, which is expected and temporary, as pigmented areas flake off naturally - Slight sensitivity in the treated area for a day or two In rare cases, primarily when performed by inexperienced providers or on unsuitable skin types, complications such as blistering, burns, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can occur. That’s why it’s essential to choose a qualified, experienced provider who understands how to tailor settings to your specific skin type and concerns. Equally important is following all post-care instructions, particularly avoiding direct sun exposure and applying high-SPF sunscreen daily. With proper technique and care, BBL HEROic provides a safe and effective path to clearer, more youthful-looking skin with virtually no downtime. --- ## Understanding the Benefits of a Breast Lift **Link:** [Understanding the Benefits of a Breast Lift](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/benefits-of-breast-lift-surgery/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/benefits-of-breast-lift-surgery/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how a breast lift can improve breast shape, position, and confidence while creating natural-looking, youthful contours. ### Content --- ## The Benefits of Muscle Repair During a Tummy Tuck **Link:** [The Benefits of Muscle Repair During a Tummy Tuck](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/benefits-of-muscle-repair-during-a-tummy-tuck/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/benefits-of-muscle-repair-during-a-tummy-tuck/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how muscle repair during a tummy tuck can improve abdominal contour, core support, and confidence after pregnancy or weight loss. ### Content --- ## The Best Age to Consider a Deep Plane Facelift **Link:** [The Best Age to Consider a Deep Plane Facelift](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/best-age-to-consider-a-deep-plane-facelift/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/best-age-to-consider-a-deep-plane-facelift/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn the best age to consider a deep plane facelift and why timing matters for natural-looking facial rejuvenation. ### Content --- ## Plastic Surgery Blog **Link:** [Plastic Surgery Blog](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/blog/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/blog/index.html.md)) **Description:** The official plastic surgery blog of Dr. Siamak Agha, a world-renowned body contouring plastic surgeon.

POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content Our body lift patients are among the most informed of all prospective patients seeking plastic surgery. Whether in our Orange County office or via virtual consultation, during your initial meeting, you will be asked about your general physical and mental health status, pre-existing health conditions, prior surgeries, your medications, allergies, and smoking habits. Relevant questions include: - Previous surgical procedures - History and method of weight gain and loss - A detailed history of current medical and psychological problems, e.g. heart disease, diabetes, a history of thromboembolic disease, connective tissue disorders, and wound healing problems. It is important that you be thorough when providing the requested information as this will allow Dr. Agha to proactively address medical and psychological concerns. When asked about medications, be sure to include any diet pills, vitamins, or herbal preparations. Certain diet pills can interfere with anesthesia and adversely complicate your surgery. Also, some vitamins and herbal medications can affect your blood pressure and clotting ability. Honesty regarding your smoking and alcohol use is also very important as these will have a profound impact on your recovery period and your ability to heal. After reviewing your medical history, Dr. Agha will discuss your concerns, priorities, and desires. Dr. Agha will then examine you starting at your face, arms, and working his way through the back, chest, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and finally legs. He will assess the skin laxity and the amount of excess tissue in each region as well as the amount of excess fat under the skin, asymmetries, and loss of definition and curves. Each of these components will determine which procedure is best for you. He will subsequently provide you with information on different options and will explain the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure. Dr. Agha will then simulate the result of each surgery on you so that you can clearly see and understand what can be achieved with surgery. Considering your input, he will develop a comprehensive plan or your body contouring and/or body lift procedures that best suits your anatomy and meets your desires. He will also discuss the limitations of surgery based on presenting conditions and the expected outcome. In summary: - Body-contouring surgery is major surgery and may involve multiple stages. - You will need to participate in making decisions regarding your desired procedures. - Potential complications do exist and should not be taken lightly. - To ensure the best outcome, the “whole person” needs to be treated. - Nutrition should be optimized before and after surgery. - Weight-loss surgery is essentially a trade off between scars versus enhanced contour. - Optimal results requires well executed surgery by your surgeon and proper healing by your body. In fact, healing is more important than the surgery in dictating the final result. - Many patients experience some degree of skin laxity months after the Plastic Surgery. In this case, secondary surgery may be necessary. #### Virtual Consultation With over half of our patients coming from out-of-state or overseas, we have developed a system to do consultations with many patients via phone or emails. After reaching us, we will call you and introduce ourselves and discuss your plan and vision for your new body. We will then arrange to obtain photos from you. Dr. Agha will then review your photos and plan a surgical approach based on your goals and desires. This will then be discussed with you at length. If you decide to proceed, some of our patients still come to meet Dr. Agha for an in-office consultation. We can accommodate you anyhow that you prefer. --- ## BODY LIFT COSTS **Link:** [BODY LIFT COSTS](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/body-lift-costs-post-bariatric/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/body-lift-costs-post-bariatric/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn what factors influence the cost of a full-body lift surgery. Depending on your case your final costs will vary. POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content The cost of a lower or total body lift depends on many factors. These include: 1) How many procedures are requested or needed? Do you want a total body lift, a lower body lift, or a [mommy makeover](/mommy-makeover-newport-beach/)? 2) Who is doing your body lift? Why Dr. Agha’s extensive experience will save you money and give you superior results. 3) Where your surgery is being performed? Hospital versus ambulatory surgery centers. 4) Quality of Your Body Lift Surgery. #### How Many Procedures Do You Want? There are many factors that affect the final cost of a body lift including the degree of skin and tissue laxity, the orientation of tissue laxity, the amount of underlying fat, and the amount of sculpting, contouring, reshaping, and augmenting that is needed. For some patients a body lift may need minor liposuction, whereas another person may need significant liposuction and sculpting. Some patients may need no upper body or back lift, while others may want both back lift and outer chest skin excision. Some patients may just need a breast lift and others may desire a [breast lift with augmentation](/breast-lift-with-implants-newport-beach/). So, each person is different and has his/her own set of problem areas and vision for enhancement. Thus, Dr. Agha customizes each body lift surgery according to the needs of the individual patient and his/her desire. This customization results in an individualized body lift cost for that patient. Your body lift cost may be very different than the price another patient pays, just as your bodies and visions are different. #### How Many Procedures Are Built Into Your Body Lift? In addition to what we mentioned above, the price for a body lift will differ from one surgeon to another. This is because the amount of correction done or the number of procedures done during a body lift is different from one surgeon to another. Many plastic surgeons use the terms circumferential abdominoplasty, belt lipectomy and lower body lift synonymously. However, in our practice, a lower body lift is a much more involved and comprehensive surgery than a belt lipectomy or a circumferential abdominoplasty. Thus, a high-definition body lift with its 12-14 procedures would be more expensive than a circumferential abdominoplasty that offers 5 procedures. Although the incisions are exactly the same, the amount of tightening is far more extensive with our high definition lower body lift. So it is important to understand each component of your lower body lift. Dr. Agha’s lower body lift is the most comprehensive body lift since it includes every necessary procedure. It includes tummy tuck with abdominal muscle tightening, pubic lift, thigh front lift, outer thigh lift, waist skin excision, lower back skin excision, buttock lift, buttock augmentation with lower back fat pad (flaps), liposuction and liposculpting, and buttocks fat transfer. As you can appreciate, this is a complete correction and enhancement, rather than lesser involved surgeries such as a belt lipectomy or a circumferential abdominoplasty. Another way to look at this is to consider the surgical time. Whereas a belt lipectomy or circumferential abdominoplasty can be performed in 4 to 4.5 hours by Dr. Agha, a high-definition lower body lift typically takes him 7.5-8 hours to complete. Dr. Agha typically combines body sculpting via liposuction and body lift at the same time. Liposuction is often performed to remove excess fat during body lift surgery, which can raise the body lift cost. The latter is dependent on the number of areas that need liposuction for contouring, shaping, and creating curves. Dr. Agha typically performs liposuction of waist, love-handles, and saddlebags on most patients (when needed) during his high-definition body lift surgery. #### Who Is Doing Your Body Lift? *Why Dr. Agha’s Extensive Experience Will Ultimately Save You Money And Gives You Superior Results.* As you can see from our extensive before and after of some of our patients, Dr. Agha has substantial experience in body lifts and Plastic surgery after weight loss. He has innovated multiple procedures with other plastic surgeons, has written multiple plastic surgery book chapters and articles, and has taught his techniques in many plastic surgery meetings for years. While he performs about 30+ body lifts per year (see our Instagram at drsiamakagha), most plastic surgeons do 1-2 body lifts per year- according to data from the American Society of Aesthetic plastic Surgeons. Thus, most plastic surgeons may end up doing 40-50 body lifts in their life time while Dr. Agha has already done over 500 body lifts. This is probably one of the highest body lift numbers performed by a single plastic surgeon world-wide. Why does this matter? Well, a lesser experience plastic surgeon may not offer you a more comprehensive correction or not know all the novel plastic surgery techniques that have been developed for weight loss patients. Also, a lesser experienced plastic surgeon may become more expensive at the end since they may decide to do 1-2 procedures at each setting rather than multiple procedures that go together. Each setting should be viewed in terms of cost of the operating room, anesthesia fees, cost of days away from work (sick days/vacation days/disability), recovery costs, home help needed, and the surgeon’s fees. Thus, you may now see why having your surgeries with a specialized surgeon like Dr. Agha who has been an innovator and pioneer in the field of plastic surgery may actually be less expensive than doing your surgery with a lesser-experienced plastic surgeon. Whereas Dr. Agha can accomplish a total body lift of 14-16 procedures in 2 stages of surgery, each about 7.5 hours and separated by 3-6 months, other lesser experienced surgeons may want to do this in 4 or more stages. So instead of 2 recoveries and 2 periods of off-work, the patient now has to take off many more days to complete his/her surgeries. Furthermore, many surgeries and incisions go together and thus look better when done together. As an example, the abdominoplasty incision, outer thigh lift incision and the buttock lift incision are all continuation of one another. Thus, it is best to do them together to remove as much skin as possible, to end up with one nice scar, and to save patient time and money. Some surgeons may elect to break the front and back of a lower body lift into 2 stages or days. That means, one day for the tummy tuck and a later day for the buttock lift. Although, this seems a good idea for the healing purposes, it produces a lesser optimal correction and result. Again, apart from 2 recoveries, a 2 stage lower body lift will require going through parts of the same incisions twice in order to remove as much waist skin and outer thigh skin as would be offered by a one-stage lower body lift. This is because the incisions are tapered at the end of a buttock lift or tummy tuck. This will ultimately result in an inferior outer thigh lift than a one-stage body lift. Another set of surgeries that are best done together are the L-brachioplasty ([arm lift](/arm-lift-newport-beach/) and armpit lift) and J-upper body lift. Again, the incisions for these procedures are best done together since they are connected. Also, bra-line upper body lift, reverse tummy tuck, and breast lift incisions are connected together so it is best to do these procedures together. #### Where Your Surgery Is Being Performed? So, by now you can appreciate why a more experienced and specialized plastic surgeon will ultimately save your money and produce superior results. By doing these procedures on regular basis, Dr. Agha can do a high-definition body lift in 7 ½ to 8 hours while most plastic surgeons may need 11-12 hours to perform the same surgery. Here, his experience is saving you time under anesthesia and operating room costs. To achieve this goal of performing multiple procedures in an expedited manner and shorter OR time, Dr. Agha instituted multiple measures in his practice that have ultimately resulted in him being one of the most popular and sought-after body lift and body contouring surgeons world-wide. These measure include: - Performing the surgery in a surgery center under his directorship. This means that the surgery center is well equipped with supplies necessary for performing extreme transformations. - Supplies are kept in the same location so that there is no wasting time in the middle of surgery looking for what is needed next. - Supplies are pulled and opened at the beginning of the surgery so that there is no time wasted. - Using the same surgical tech in every surgery means that the surgical tech is proficient and experienced in working with Dr. Agha and after more than 10 years has learned what is needed with each step of the surgery and being prepared for it in advance. This saves seconds with each move which will ultimately save hours. - Dr. Agha hired and has trained a physician assistant to work with him since 2017. The job of the physician assistant is to help him to expedite the surgery and suturing of the tissues. Having closely groomed our physician assistant for several years now, she can now suture as well as many plastic surgeons. This expedites skin closures since 2 people are now working simultaneously. - By using the same anesthesiologist(s) for the past 10 years, our main anesthesiologists now has immense experience in performing anesthesia on patients who need to be kept sleep for 7 hours and awakened soon after the end of the surgery. Also, body lift patients require padding and protection of their head and skin while on the operating room table on their tummy and then back. This is an integral part of the preparation where the anesthesiologist is involved in protecting the patient’s head, arms, etc. - Having performed thousands of plastic surgery procedures, Dr. Agha comes to each patient with a well-planned surgery on the morning of surgery. This plan is then reflected and marked on the patient. Each line is checked over and over for symmetry with the other side and to make sure that the lines are straight or nicely curved. Dr. Agha believes that this is the most important part of his surgery. Plan over and over and then cut once. His immense experience comes to play into his planning and marking. Dr. Agha often says that the rest of the surgery is execution of a finely and precisely planned day. Again, this is when Dr. Agha’s immense experience saves you time in the operating room. - Our surgical nurse is always the same person. Thus, she can also anticipate what each patient, each surgery, and each recovery needs. This again saves time in the operating room. Now you may appreciate why Dr. Agha prefers to perform his surgeries in a well-controlled and self-directed surgery center. Early on in his practice, Dr. Agha noticed that his surgeries took on average 2 1/2 hours longer in the hospital and thus cost his patients a lot more. This is because each step of the surgery is delayed. Your hospital anesthesiologist, surgical techs, and surgical nurses do many different types of surgeries and procedures everyday and every week. One day they may be doing heart surgery, another day general surgery, or orthopedic surgery in a week. Most hospital staffs are not specialized in one discipline of surgery (e.g. plastic surgery) let along specific plastic surgery procedures. Your hospital anesthesiologist may not know how to pad a weight loss patient. Your hospital surgical tech may have not done much plastic surgery and may not know what equipments are needed, let alone the suture type. He or she may have not seen that many body lifts and will not be able to anticipate and stay ahead of the next step. While each of these waste seconds to minutes at each step, they end up being hours at the end of the surgery. This is why we use the same team with every surgery to manage time efficiently and to produce superior results. #### Quality of Your Body Lift Surgery A highly qualified, expert plastic surgeon is undoubtedly more expensive than a lesser experienced plastic surgeon. However, plastic surgery is an art and you are paying for Dr. Agha’s years of experience, his artistic ability as your surgeon, and ultimately for the quality of surgery that you receive. #### Other Factors *That May Affect The Cost Of Your Body Lift Surgery* **1. Your Health History **Chronic conditions or diseases can add to your body lift cost. This is because the surgery then becomes more complicated in preparation, and needs to be performed in a hospital setting. **2. Pre-Surgical Tests and Exams **Prior to your surgery, Dr. Agha ensure you are healthy and can undergo body lift surgery. This cost is not usually included in surgical cost estimates, so be sure you ask about pre-surgical blood tests, diagnostics and exams. **3. Compression Garments and Accessories **Your compression garments may be provided by Dr. Agha’s office. These can cost up to a few hundred dollars, adding to your body lift cost. You will also likely need gauze, bandaging supplies and gentle soap for post-surgical self-care. **4. Medications needed.** --- ## World-Class Body Lift Surgery **Link:** [World-Class Body Lift Surgery](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/body-lift-landing-page/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/body-lift-landing-page/index.html.md)) **Description:** Have your body lift surgery with Dr. Siamak Agha, world renowned board certified plastic surgeon. BY DR. SIAMAK AGHA MD, PHD, FACS ### Content #### ARTIST PLASTIC SURGEON *Real Body Lift Transformations* When considering plastic surgery after weight loss, before and after photos can say a thousand words. We encourage you to view these images carefully — paying attention to contour, symmetry, and proportion. These photographs offer a realistic preview of what may be possible and reflect Dr. Agha’s extensive experience in complex body lift surgery. Dr. Agha is often described by patients as an *artist plastic surgeon* — someone who focuses not only on removing excess skin, but on restoring three-dimensional body shape. As he often tells his staff, *the difference between good and great results is attention to the finer details.* #### Surgery After Weight Loss *After Major Weight Loss, Standard Surgery Isn’t Enough* Massive weight loss changes lives — but it also creates complex surgical challenges. Excess skin, loss of contour, and distorted body proportions are common. **Traditional body lift surgery often prioritizes the medical removal of excess skin**, with limited emphasis on the final body shape, overall proportions, or how the patient’s anatomy will look once healing is complete. Dr. Agha’s techniques were pioneered specifically to move beyond skin removal alone. His approach to body lift surgery is designed to **restore body proportions, improve anatomical balance, and enhance overall shape**, creating results that look intentional, refined, and natural after weight loss. #### Meet Dr. Agha *World Renowned Body Lift Expert* Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Siamak Agha, MD, PhD, FACS has spent over 20 years perfecting the art of body contouring and body lift surgery.

BY DR. SIAMAK AGHA MD, PHD, FACS ### Content #### Advanced Body Lift Surgery *For GLP-1 weight loss and aging patients* A body lift is not only about removing loose skin. It is about restoring shape, proportion, and lower-body contour when the body has changed in ways that diet, exercise, skin tightening, or liposuction alone cannot correct. For many patients, these changes happen after GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, or Mounjaro®. The weight may come off, but loose skin, flattened buttocks, thigh laxity, lower-back folds, and loss of waist definition can remain. For other patients, lower-body laxity and contour changes develop gradually with aging, genetics, poor skin elasticity, prior surgery, or natural changes in tissue support. These patients may not have gone through massive weight loss, but they may still have sagging tissue, poor waist-to-hip definition, buttock descent, or lower-body shape concerns that require more than liposuction. Dr. Siamak Agha’s body lift approach is designed to go beyond simply tightening skin. The goal is to reshape the lower body with attention to proportion, contour, tissue support, scar placement, and three-dimensional balance. On this page, you can watch real post-op consultation videos with Dr. Agha’s patients and see how body lift surgery can improve the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, and lower body. #### Real Post-Op Consultation Videos *Post-op consultations showing body lift results, healing, scars, shape, and contour* Before-and-after photos are helpful, but post-op consultation videos show something different. They show the body in motion. They show how Dr. Agha evaluates contour, scars, shape, symmetry, tissue support, and healing. They also help patients understand that advanced body lift surgery is not just about removing excess skin. It is about reshaping the body in a way that looks balanced from the front, side, and back. As you watch these videos, pay attention to: - Waist definition - Hip and buttock shape - Lower-back contour - Thigh and buttock transition - Scar placement - Tissue support and shape stability - Skin tightening versus true reshaping - Overall body proportion #### REAL PATIENTS, STUNNING RESULTS *Real post-op consultations showing shape, scars, and proportion after surgery* This video grid features real post-op consultation videos with Dr. Agha’s body lift patients. These patients are shown after surgery so you can see more than a still before-and-after photo. The videos show how the body looks in motion, how Dr. Agha evaluates the result, and how changes in the waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, lower back, scars, tissue support, and overall shape are reviewed during follow-up visits. For GLP-1 patients, the concern is often that the weight came off, but the body still looks loose, flat, unsupported, or poorly shaped. For aging patients, the concern may be gradual tissue descent, weaker support, loss of waist definition, buttock flattening, or a lower body that no longer looks as firm or balanced as it once did. As you watch these videos, look for the difference between a body that is simply tightened and a body that is reshaped, supported, and better balanced. #### Meet Dr. Agha *World Renowned Body Lift Expert* Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Siamak Agha, MD, PhD, FACS has spent over 20 years perfecting the art of body contouring and body lift surgery. During this time, Dr. Agha has pioneered new techniques in the field of plastic surgery after weight loss. These include the High-Definition Body Lift™, Spiral Thigh Lift, Internal Dermal Bra Breast Lift, J-Thoracoplasty and various buttocks augmentation and reshaping procedures. Dr. Siamak Agha is: - World-renowned Faculty in Body Contouring and Body Lift Surgeries - Active Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons - Diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery - Member of the Orange County Society of Plastic Surgeons - Member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery - Fellow of the American College of Surgeons - Fellow of the Royal College of Medicine (U.K.) - Specialized in Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss and Extreme Makeovers [BOOK A CONSULTATION](#schedule-consult-footer-form) #### Beyond Skin Removal *Dr. Agha’s Body Lift Approach* Dr. Agha’s body lift surgery is designed around three-dimensional shape, not just skin removal. For GLP-1 patients, this often means correcting loose skin, tissue descent, flattening, and loss of contour after weight reduction. For aging patients, it may mean improving lower-body shape, waist definition, hip balance, lower-back contour, and buttock position after changes in skin elasticity and tissue support. Every body lift is customized to the patient’s anatomy. The goal is to create a more balanced relationship between the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, and lower back. Rather than simply pulling the skin tighter, advanced body lift surgery may involve repositioning and anchoring deeper tissues to help support the new contour and create a more stable, intentional shape. This is why body lift surgery requires more than removing extra skin. It requires judgment, planning, tissue anchoring, scar placement, and an understanding of how the body will look as a complete three-dimensional shape. --- ## BODY MASCULINIZATION **Link:** [BODY MASCULINIZATION](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/body-masculinization-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/body-masculinization-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** There are treatments that offer masculinization of the face and body. Learn more about your surgical and non-surgical options. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content The female and male bodies differ in several key anatomical ways, including bone structure, muscle development, and fat distribution. While the underlying skeletal structure cannot be significantly altered through surgery, other characteristics such as muscle definition and fat distribution can be modified through a combination of hormone therapy, exercise, and body contouring procedures. For many transgender men, hormone therapy and strength training can help increase muscle mass and shift some fat distribution. However, these approaches alone are often not enough to fully achieve the masculine body shape many patients desire. Biologically male bodies typically carry less fat overall and store it in different locations compared to female bodies. Men tend to accumulate fat around the abdomen and upper body, while women often carry fat in the hips, thighs, and buttocks. These differences in fat distribution can make it challenging for trans men to achieve the classic masculine V-shaped physique characterized by broad shoulders, a defined waist, and minimal fat around the hips and thighs. [.divider-lines]**Body masculinization procedures are designed to address these differences and help reshape the body to create a more masculine contour. Through advanced body contouring techniques, fat can be removed from traditionally feminine areas and sculpted to enhance masculine proportions.**[] With the help of a highly experienced plastic surgeon such as Dr. Siamak Agha, body masculinization surgery can help transgender men achieve a physique that better reflects their gender identity. These procedures focus on refining body contours, enhancing muscle definition, and reducing curves typically associated with the female body. For many patients, body masculinization surgery plays an important role in gender affirmation and self-confidence. Achieving a body that aligns with one’s identity can greatly improve comfort, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. Continue reading to learn more about body masculinization procedures and how they can help create a stronger, more masculine body contour. #### Why Choose Dr. Agha For Your Body Masculinization Body masculinization surgery requires a highly specialized understanding of both surgical technique and masculine body aesthetics. Dr. Siamak Agha has extensive experience performing advanced body contouring procedures designed to reshape the torso, hips, and thighs to create a more traditionally masculine physique. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, he carefully evaluates each patient’s anatomy, fat distribution, skin quality, and transition goals to develop a surgical plan that produces balanced, natural-looking masculine contours. Patients who visit Dr. Agha’s Newport Beach practice benefit from a highly personalized approach to care. From the initial consultation through recovery, every stage of treatment is designed to prioritize safety, comfort, and long-term satisfaction. By combining advanced contouring techniques with meticulous surgical planning, Dr. Agha helps transgender men achieve body proportions that better align with their identity and support their confidence moving forward. #### What is Body Masculinization Surgery? Body masculinization surgery refers to a group of body contouring procedures designed to help transgender men achieve a more masculine body shape. These procedures typically focus on removing excess fat from areas commonly associated with feminine fat distribution while enhancing the natural muscular structure of the body. Many trans men experience significant physical changes from hormone therapy and FTM top surgery, which removes breast tissue to create a more masculine chest. However, even after these treatments, certain areas of the body may still retain fat deposits or contours associated with the female body. Body masculinization surgery addresses these concerns by reshaping areas such as the waist, hips, arms, back, thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. Through advanced liposuction and contouring techniques, these procedures remove excess fat and sculpt the body to create straighter lines and stronger masculine contours. Dr. Siamak Agha is widely recognized for his expertise in body contouring and offers a comprehensive body masculinization plan tailored to each patient. His approach focuses on achieving balanced proportions and natural-looking masculine contours rather than simply removing fat. Depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals, body masculinization surgery may target multiple areas of the body, including: - Arms - Abdomen - Waist - Hips - Thighs - Back - Buttocks By reshaping these areas, body masculinization surgery can significantly improve body proportions and create a physique that better reflects a masculine identity. For many patients, these procedures not only improve physical appearance but also enhance emotional well-being and self-confidence. #### Are You a Good Candidate for Body Masculinization Surgery? Individuals considering body masculinization surgery should generally be in good physical and mental health. Ideal candidates are typically transgender men who wish to further masculinize their body contours beyond what hormone therapy and lifestyle changes alone can achieve. Patients who are close to their ideal body weight tend to achieve the best results. Maintaining a stable weight before surgery helps ensure that the contours created during surgery remain consistent over time. It is also important for patients to have realistic expectations about what surgery can accomplish. While body masculinization surgery can significantly improve body contours, it cannot change bone structure or create muscle mass in the same way that exercise and hormone therapy can. #### What is Dr. Agha’s Approach to Body Masculinization Surgery? Dr. Agha takes a highly customized approach to body masculinization surgery. Each treatment plan is tailored based on the patient’s anatomy, hormone therapy results, skin elasticity, and personal goals. Because every patient has unique needs, Dr. Agha designs surgical plans that target the areas most important to the patient while maintaining overall balance and proportion. #### How Do You Recover from Body Masculinization Surgery? Recovery from body masculinization surgery varies depending on the procedures performed and the areas treated. Dr. Agha provides detailed post-operative instructions to help ensure safe healing and optimal results. Immediately after surgery, compression garments are typically worn to reduce swelling and support the new body contours. Patients are usually advised to wear these garments for approximately six weeks. Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common during the first few days following surgery. These symptoms gradually improve as the body heals. Light walking is encouraged shortly after surgery to improve circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots. Most patients are able to resume light activities within the first week. More strenuous activities should be avoided until the body has fully healed, which typically occurs after several weeks. Following recovery instructions carefully helps ensure the best possible results and minimizes the risk of complications. #### What are the Results of Body Masculinization Surgery? Body masculinization surgery can significantly improve body proportions and help patients achieve a physique that aligns with their gender identity. Patients may notice: - A more defined V-shaped torso - Reduced curves around the hips and thighs - A flatter and more masculine chest - Improved body proportions - Increased confidence and satisfaction with appearance Although initial improvements are visible soon after surgery, final results become more noticeable as swelling subsides over the following months. When combined with hormone therapy and a healthy lifestyle, body masculinization surgery can provide long-lasting results. #### Get Your Body Masculinization Surgery *at Los Angeles and Orange County* Body masculinization surgery can be a powerful step toward achieving a body that better reflects your identity. These procedures allow transgender men to reshape their body contours and achieve a more masculine appearance. Dr. Siamak Agha provides personalized treatment plans designed to address each patient’s unique anatomy and goals. By combining advanced body contouring techniques with artistic precision, he helps patients achieve balanced and natural-looking masculine results. If you are considering body masculinization surgery in Los Angeles or Orange County, scheduling a consultation with Dr. Agha can help you explore your options and develop a treatment plan tailored to your goals. --- ## BODY SHAPES **Link:** [BODY SHAPES](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/body-shape-post-bariatric/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/body-shape-post-bariatric/index.html.md)) **Description:** You have likely heard body shapes described by different terms including “hourglass”, “apple” and even “pear”, but which are you? BODY CONTOURING ### Content You have likely heard body shapes described by different terms including “hourglass”, “apple”, and even “pear”, but which are you? When asked, women see themselves as having many different shapes with a wide range of names. Some of the most common body shapes are: - Neat Hourglass - Apple - Pear - Rectangle - Lean Column - Inverted Triangle or V-shaped The most common shape women wish themselves as having, is an hourglass shape. Despite this, there are many different body shapes, with an hourglass shape being one of the least common, but the most desired. Typically, designer clothes may fit a woman in size but not flatter her as they were made for a model’s neat hourglass body shape. Clothing sizes can be confusing because a woman may see that the size fits, but the particular cut of the garment was not meant for her body shape, and therefore does not look good. Just as each individual’s personality is different, so too is their body shape. There are a number of common body shapes, including: A. **Pear** – One of the most common shapes, the pear shape is defined as having hips that are disproportionately wide in relation to the upper part of the body. B. **Triangle** – This body shape is defined by shoulders that are narrower than the widest part of the hips. C. **Rectangle** – This body shape is defined by a silhouette that is fairly straight up and down, possibly even with a slight masculine look. D. **Inverted Triangle** – The opposite of the “triangle” body shape, the inverted triangle is defined by shoulders that are noticeably wider than the hip-line. E. **Hourglass** – This highly desirable body shape is defined by a round and curvy figure with a well-defined waistline and fuller hips, bust and thighs. F. **Round** – The round or “apple” shape is defined by a waistline that lacks definition with the hips and butt often as wide and full as the waist. G. **Diamond** – This unique shape generally features slimmer arms and calves, with most of the weight in the bust, midsection, hips and thighs. --- ## Botox vs. Fillers: What's the Difference and Which Do You Need? **Link:** [Botox vs. Fillers: What's the Difference and Which Do You Need?](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/botox-vs-fillers-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/botox-vs-fillers-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Botox vs fillers in Newport Beach: learn how neuromodulators and dermal fillers differ, where each works best, and how to decide which fits your goals. ### Content --- ## Brazilian Butt Lift **Link:** [Brazilian Butt Lift](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/brazilian-butt-lift-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/brazilian-butt-lift-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Achieve perkier buttocks & beautiful womanly curves in one surgery with a high-definition Brazilian butt lift in Newport Beach with The One Plastic Surgery Center!

She even has a V-shaped depression that distinctly separates the lower back from her upper buttocks. There are no saddlebags, love handles, and cellulite in sight. While many women think that having a nice pair of buttocks is all they need, the truth is the attractiveness of these buttocks depends on the bigger picture. It has to be complemented with the right curves at the right places to have an aesthetically pleasing front and back appearance. And you can achieve rounder buttocks and beautiful womanly curves in one surgery with a high-definition Brazilian butt lift — the signature surgery of internationally-renowned top Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Dr. Siamak Agha. #### Unmatched Skills, Superior Results *DR. SIAMAK AGHA MD, PhD, FACS* Internationally renowned and top Newport Beach plastic surgeon Dr. Siamak Agha MD, PhD, FACS, is an expert in body contouring surgery and creating curvaceous buttocks that many celebrities have recently been flaunting.

As an expert in buttock reshaping with one of the largest butt galleries, Dr. Agha offers many [buttock enhancement](/buttock-enhancement-newport-beach/) procedures, such as traditional butt lift, [buttock implants](/buttock-enhancement-newport-beach/), and buttock fat transfer — aka Brazilian Butt Lift. #### Curve Enhancement *What is a High-Definition Brazilian Butt Lift?* A number of factors, such as genetics, race, gender, aging, and weight influences the shape of your buttocks. Know more about the factors that affect the appearance of your backside in this article. Furthermore, certain features define an aesthetically beautiful pair of buttocks. Dr. Agha believes that the focus of buttocks enhancement should not just be the ideal buttocks but the ideal back view— meaning beautiful buttocks framed on a smooth back, hourglass waist, and just the right amount of hip fullness. A Brazilian butt lift or buttocks fat transfer is truly an ingenious procedure that accomplishes two goals. It removes fat from unwanted places such as love handles and back and transfers the fat into the buttocks. Although the procedure sounds simple, the outcome of a Brazilian butt lift is more dependent on the skills and knowledge of your chosen plastic surgeon than any other plastic surgery procedure.

Tailored solutions with expert care. Book your consultation today! NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content While the Brazilian butt lift (AKA BBL) is still a popular procedure for buttocks enhancement and augmentation, there is an increasing number of patients that nowadays wish to reverse their Brazilian Butt Lift. A BBL is designed to enhance the shape and size of your buttocks with your own fat. During a Brazilian Butt Lift, fat is harvested from unwanted areas of the body, such as the abdomen, back, or flanks, through [liposuction](/liposuction-newport-beach/) and liposculpting. The harvested fat is then processed, washed, and injected as microdroplets throughout the fatty layer of the buttocks to create a fuller and more lifted appearance. But recently many patients have been looking to **reverse their buttock augmentation procedures** and achieve a more natural look to the point that some claim to be the **“end of the BBL era”** lead by celebrities like Kim and Khloé Kardashian. Patients may wish to reverse or undo the results of a BBL due to various reasons, such as dissatisfaction with the outcome, complications, or changes in personal preference. For some, the result of a BBL may be unwelcomed when thenewly created buttock size does not match the rest of the patient’s body. This can happen when large volume fat transfer is performed in order to create an excessively larger buttocks. This is more common in States such as Florida where this procedure is sought and desired by some patients. Another cause of a mismatch between buttock size and a patient’s body is weight gain. Weight gain can result in further expansion of the fat cells within the buttocks and thus additional buttocks enlargement. Unfortunately, this enlargement may not always proceed uniformly and thus may create a less than desired buttocks shape. Another reason for BBL reversal popularity is changes in personal preferences. [.divider-lines]Over time, an individual’s aesthetic preferences and desires may change, and they might no longer desire the enhanced appearance achieved through a BBL.[] Some plastic surgeons believe the **BBL reversal** is as simple as buttocks liposuction, but our Board-Certified surgeon and body contouring expert, Dr. Siamak Agha alerts that **liposuction can only work to a certain extent, and only for patients with a high degree of skin elasticity.** #### How is BBL Reversal Achieved? Most surgeons offer BBL reversal by removing the transferred fat via liposuction. However, this approach can result in loose buttock skin that can appear as contour irregularities, just like a weight loss patient. The presence of loose skin after buttocks liposuction can vary depending on several factors, including the elasticity of your skin, the amount of fat removed, and your age. Here are some key points to consider. #### To simplify what is needed, Dr. Agha has developed the following algorithm: - If you need **minor to moderate reduction** and have **excellent skin elasticity,** Dr. Agha will use Vaser Ultra-sound assisted liposuction to remove the excess transferred fat while sculpting and reshaping the buttocks look. - If you need a **major reduction**, then Dr. Agha will employs his signature buttock restoration and reshaping approach to reduce/lift/ and reshape the buttocks to create a smaller but lifted and perkier butt. - If you need a **modest reduction** but already have **buttock sagging**, again, Dr. Agha will employ his signature buttock restoration technique to remove as much fat and skin as needed while he restores the buttock form and projection. Thus, for most patients, liposuction by itself will not produce the best outcome since it will also result in buttock skin laxity and dimpling. On the other hand, Dr. Agha’s signature buttock restoration technique not only reduces the buttock volume, but it also lifts the buttocks and reshapes them to result in a perkier but smaller version of your buttocks. This approach is custom-made for each patient and Dr. Agha is also able to change the buttock shape from a boxy or V-shaped butt to a round or heart-shaped buttocks. It is important to note that any surgical procedure comes with potential risks and complications, and reversing a BBL may have its own set of risks as well. If you are considering a BBL or its reversal, it is crucial to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon such as Dr. Agha to discuss the options, potential outcomes, and associated risks specific to your situation. Always prioritize your safety and make informed decisions about any cosmetic procedure. #### How Do You Recover from a BBL Reversal? Following the procedure, you will need to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions for a smooth recovery. This may include wearing compression garments, avoiding sitting or putting pressure on the treated area for a certain period, and taking prescribed medications to manage pain and reduce the risk of infection. --- ## Breast **Link:** [Breast](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast/index.html.md)) **Description:** Breast ### Content --- ## Breast and Body Renewal: Your Guide to a Newport Beach Mommy Makeover **Link:** [Breast and Body Renewal: Your Guide to a Newport Beach Mommy Makeover](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast-and-body-renewal-your-guide-to-a-newport-beach-mommy-makeover/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast-and-body-renewal-your-guide-to-a-newport-beach-mommy-makeover/index.html.md)) **Description:** A Newport Beach mommy makeover with Dr. Siamak Agha restores breast shape, abdominal strength, and body balance after pregnancy for natural, confident results. ### Content --- ## BREAST ASYMMETRY CORRECTION **Link:** [BREAST ASYMMETRY CORRECTION](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast-asymmetry-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast-asymmetry-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** When breasts are asymmetrical a breast lift, implants or both may be appropriate for your breast asymmetry correction surgery plan. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Here’s a seldom known fact: women’s breasts are never exactly the same. There is almost always some degree of asymmetry between the two breasts — probably a difference in size, shape, location on the chest, or even where the nipples are on your breast. [.divider-lines]For most women, these irregularities aren’t obvious. But for some women with noticeably asymmetrical breasts, they have to deal with it on a daily basis, making them feel self-conscious and embarrassed about their chest’s appearance.[] Fortunately, breast asymmetry can be corrected by an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Siamak Agha. Because there isn’t one solution for breast asymmetry, Dr. Agha offers a whole suite of breast surgery options to make your breasts match each other, making you feel more confident about your body’s appearance. Know more about breast asymmetry and your correction options as you delve into the rest of this post. [VIew Gallery](/gallery/breast/breast-asymmetry-before-and-after-photos/) #### What is Breast Asymmetry? Breast asymmetry occurs when one breast has a different size, shape, or position from the other. Most of the time, breast size differences are due to either genetics or random growth differences. Breast budding among girls can begin as early as eight years old when they hit puberty, although breast asymmetry might not be evident until later. Once a woman reaches her full maturity, breast asymmetry becomes definite. Only pregnancy and menopause can alter the shape and size of the breasts. #### What are the Different Techniques for Breast Asymmetry Correction? Dr. Agha’s goal in every correction of asymmetrical breasts is to obtain symmetrically shaped, sized, and positioned breasts using minimal incisions and scars. As such, he customizes his approach for each patient, depending on each one’s condition and preference. Dr. Agha will counsel you on the various surgical options available, such as the following: #### How Do You Prepare for Breast Asymmetry Correction? Expect Dr. Agha to conduct a comprehensive pre-operative evaluation of your condition, as well as some pre-operative measurements of your breast parameters. Some of the factors he will assess include your breast symmetry, form, shape, inframammary fold position, degree of sagging, and skin quality. #### How Does Dr. Agha Treat Breast Asymmetry? Dr. Agha’s approach to treating breast asymmetry depends on how you want to balance your breasts. Either you want to reduce your larger breast or augment your smaller breast with an implant. You may also need a breast lift to match the breast shape. Whichever method you choose, it may take anywhere from two to four hours, depending on the complexity of your breast asymmetry. After changing into a gown and getting your intravenous line started in the preoperative holding area, Dr. Agha will mark specific landmarks on your chest to ensure proper surgical planning.

That’s why breast augmentation — or a “boob job” — is one of the most popular procedures in the world. Although women’s breasts come in various shapes and sizes, studies show that people’s notion of an [ideal breast](https://www.shape.com/lifestyle/scientists-say-theyve-found-perfect-breasts) is one with a 45:55 ratio — 45% of fullness above the nipple line and 55% of fullness below the nipple line, with a slight teardrop shape. Also known as breast enhancement or augmentation mammoplasty, breast augmentation has one main goal: to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts using breast implants. By doing so, you get the opportunity to customize your breast size, put the curves in the right places, and achieve a more feminine body. Breast augmentation is actually [one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries of all time](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/documents/News/Statistics/2018/plastic-surgery-statistics-full-report-2018.pdf), with over 300,000 procedures performed in the United States every year. The number of procedures also continues to increase every year since 2006, with the majority of women opting for silicone implants (88%) over saline implants (12%). Interested in breast augmentation?

The size of your breasts is determined by the amount of breast gland and fat that it contains. On the other hand, breast shape is determined by many factors, including genetics, aging, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy. These factors predetermine the volume of the breast fat and glandular tissue, as well as connective tissue. In the last 15 years, the average bust size has increased from 34B to 36C in the USA. Whether this increase is due to breast augmentation surgeries or related to higher body weights is not known. The cup size is a measure of the volume of the breasts, and is denoted by the first letters of the alphabet. - A cup – about 8 ounces (238 milliliters) - B cup – about 13 ounces (385 milliliters) - C cup – about 21 ounces (621 milliliters) - D cup – about 27 ounces (800 milliliters) Breasts are usually asymmetrical, meaning one breast may be a different size or shape than the other breast. All of these are perfectly normal. Getting breast augmentation with implants or your own fat can restore volume and increase the size of your breasts, enabling you to achieve a more filled-in breast shape. Consult our board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options! #### Why Choose The One Plastic Surgery Center for Your Breast Augmentation?

Our surgeons take several approaches to help you come up with a decision based on your anatomy, personal preferences, and appearance goals. [Click here to learn more about how you should choose your proper implant size.](/blog/how-to-choose-the-right-breast-implant-size/) #### Breast Implants vs. Breast Fat Transfer At The One Plastic Surgery Center, we also offer Natural Breast Enhancement via Fat Transfer. If you are not ready to have implants, you may wish to consider breast fat transfer. Breast implants enhance breast size but not shape, while breast fat transfer excels in sculpting the breasts. Fat transfer augments specific areas for a fuller shape and more cleavage. Fat transfer is also ideal for correcting unevenness. Unlike implants, fat transfer poses fewer risks and offers natural, permanent results, making it a versatile option for shaping your body and enhancing your breasts. Choosing between implants and fat transfer can be tricky. We review some important considerations below. #### Discover Your Perfect Fit *What are the Different Types of Breast Implants?* Aside from incision location and implant placement, one of the three main decisions you have to make once you decide to get breast augmentation is the size and type of implant you’re getting. Used for over 40 years, breast implants come in various types and may be placed through different incisions and locations. The choice of implant type, size, shape, and other features all depend on your breast anatomy, body type, and size goals. These are influenced by your lifestyle, goals, personal preferences, and the sound judgment of your chosen plastic surgeon. Our surgeons will thoroughly discuss your options when considering the location of incisions, the size of the implants, and the exact placement of implants. Such attention to detail will ensure that you are fully satisfied with the end result. Check out the different types of breast implants available to you: #### Based on Projection Though not usually discussed by patients with their plastic surgeons, breast implant projection or profile is important in determining the degree of forward projection of that implant relative to your size, body type, and chest shape. In other words, it’s all about choosing implants that look proportional and fit for your body. You can choose to have a low, moderate, moderate plus, high profile, or ultra-high profile. #### Based on Shape In general, breast implants either have a round or teardrop shape #### Based on Texture In terms of texture, you can select between a smooth surface or a rough, textured surface #### What to Expect and How to Prepare *Your Breast Augmentation Procedure* With breast augmentation as one of the most common procedures performed by our surgeons, we have developed a systematic approach to optimize your satisfaction and reduce the need for revisions after your initial surgery. Breast augmentation can be performed as an outpatient procedure in an ambulatory surgical facility or in-office surgical suite. How Do Our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons Perform Breast Augmentation? #### Pace Yourself with Grace *Breast Augmentation Recovery and Aftercare* After placing the implants, Dr. Agha closes the incisions using traditional or absorbable sutures. Your breasts will be wrapped and supported with a gauze bandage. You will also be fitted with a special surgical bra to support your breasts for the first few weeks. Some surgeons recommend using compression bandages instead. Following breast augmentation, especially with transaxillary and TUBA procedures, the implants will often appear too high on the chest. This will gradually settle into place over a few weeks to several months as the intact supporting muscle fascia (muscle envelope) and the overlying breast skin stretch to accommodate the implants. #### How Do You Recover from Breast Augmentation? Please read the [general information on recovery after breast surgery](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-breast/). Breast augmentation recovery varies from patient to patient. Expect pain, discomfort, and soreness for the first few days after surgery, especially in the first 72 hours. Dr. Agha will prescribe you pain medications and muscle relaxant to manage any discomfort. It is recommended to sleep on your back during the first week of your recovery to ensure that your breast implants are in a perfect position during the healing process. You may hear and feel a sloshing in your breasts after surgery. It results from trapped air in the space around the implant and the natural fluid that accumulates after the operation. You have nothing to worry about this though as this will be absorbed by your body in a few weeks. Remember to avoid wearing pushup and underwire bras for 4 weeks, as this may prevent your breasts from assuming their natural shape. Dr. Agha also advises doing breast massages during the first week to reduce the risk for capsular contracture. Avoid any activities that might raise your blood pressure a week after your breast augmentation. You should also avoid any exercises that directly stress your operative site for about four weeks. You may experience a burning sensation in your nipples for up to two weeks. You might also notice swelling on your breasts for a few weeks, with your skin looking particularly shiny. Keep in mind that it is possible for your two breasts to heal differently. One may swell more, one may feel more uncomfortable, or their shapes may vary initially. This won’t be the case once you heal completely. Check out this estimated timeline of your breast augmentation recovery: #### What Results Can You Expect? *Breast Augmentation Results* Getting breast augmentation gives you the following results: - Increased breast size and volume - Symmetrical breasts - Restored breast fullness and perkiness lost due to pregnancy or aging - Better filled-out clothes - Increase in confidence and self-esteem But keep in mind that breast implants are not guaranteed to last a lifetime. Future surgery may be needed to replace one or both implants. You should also schedule routine mammograms to monitor your breast implants. #### Have Your Breast Augmentation Performed in Orange County and Los Angeles *Your Breast Augmentation Consultation* Dr. Agha believes that understanding the breast anatomy and the changes that occur through aging, pregnancy, and weight loss are fundamental for achieving fuller, symmetrical, well-shaped, and properly positioned breasts. Thus, he developed a systematic approach to optimize your satisfaction and reduce the need for revisionary procedures following breast augmentation. #### Why Choose Dr. Agha for Your Breast Augmentation?

CORRECTION OF BREAST LAXITY ### Content #### Breast Lift, Breast Augmentation, and Breast Reduction The breasts are made up of 2 major components. Breast gland and breast fat that normally surrounds the gland core and resides under the breast skin. Weight gain typically results in an increase in both the chest fatty layers as well as breast fat. Both tissues stretch, expand, and increase in volume. Like every other tissue, breast enlargement is accompanied with breast expansion in a three-dimensional manner (vertical, horizontal, and projection). In both men and women, the breasts will become larger by storing more fat within fat cells. In females, this can lead to macromastia – symptomatic enlargement of breasts which may be associated with neck pain, back pain, breast pain, shoulder grooving, etc. The breast skin expands and stretches while the ligaments (Cooper’s ligaments) that hold the breast gland against the chest muscle stretch out and break. Also, the connective tissue bands that hold the mammary crease (known as the inframammary fold) in place over the mid chest stretch out and lose their elasticity. Following weight loss, the breast changes are typically universal. The fatty layers under the skin as well as the fat within the breast undergo shrinkage due to loss of fat stores. The breasts undergo mild, moderate, or severe loss of fatty tissue, depending on how much weight has been lost. For most patients, the breasts lose volume and become deflated and end up with the breast gland mainly. The damaged Cooper’s ligaments are unable to retract the breast gland to its normal position on the chest. This results in breast glands sagging in an oversized breast skin envelope that has no elasticity. Depending on the severity, there are 3 grades of breast sagging (ptosis). - **Grade I: Mild ptosis** – The nipple is at the level of the inframammary crease and above most of the lower breast tissue. - **Grade II: Moderate ptosis** –The nipple is below the inframammary crease but higher than most of the breast tissue hangs. - **Grade III: Advanced ptosis** – The nipple is below the inframammary crease and at the level of maximum breast projection. - **Pseudoptosis** – The nipple is located either at or above the infra-mammary fold, while the lower half of the breast sags below the crease. This is often seen after a previous standard breast lift. For some patients, the breasts will be completely deflated and empty, whereas others will still have large breasts. In between these extremes, there are variable breast shapes and sizes. Many of the aforementioned changes occur independently on each side of the body, and the degree of change is often asymmetrical. Thus, it is not surprising to find breasts that are uneven in many aspects, most noticeably in shape and size. However, virtually all weight loss patients will require some form of a breast lift procedure. This is often combined with either a breast reduction or a breast augmentation. #### Breast Lift As mentioned above, all female weight loss patients will need some sort of a breast lift unless the patient has always had tiny breasts. Some will need only the breast lift, some will need breast augmentation with a breast lift, and a few will need a breast reduction with a breast lift. Breast lift procedures are designed to lift and reshape breasts that are sagging. The breast lift procedure can be done in several different ways, depending on the desired results. Standard breast lift techniques are categorized according to their incision placement as: 1) **Peri-areolar breast lift.** This is also known as a donut lift. The incision for this type of lift is only around the areola and the actual lift is very limited. This is basically a nipple- areola repositioning procedure and is typically performed for those patients who have small breasts, mild grade 1 sagging, and want breast implants. 2) **Vertical Breast Lift.** This is also known as the lollipop breast lift. The incision for this breast lift is around the areola and down on the breast. Through this incision, the breast tissue is lifted to the desired position and the breast is made narrower. This procedure can be done by itself or combined with breast fat transfer or breast implants. The vertical breast lift is again best used for grade 1 breast ptosis since not much skin can be taken out with this procedure. 3) **Wise-pattern breast lift.** This is known as the anchor-incision breast lift. This is predominantly the main and best choice for most weight loss patients since there is often a lot of skin that needs to be taken out. Through an incision that goes around the areola, down on the breast and then over the mammary crease, a large area of excess breast skin can be removed. The procedure also gives a lot of control to the surgeon through a larger access. The breast tissues can be lifted, the breast width can be narrowed, and even the mammary crease can be repositioned. With the standard anchor-type breast lift, lifting of the breast tissue is achieved by bringing the breast skin together and closing the incisions. Although this type of breast lift works for the non-weight loss patient, for the weight loss patient, the results are often short lived since the breast skin can not hold the breast tissue in place for long. #### Dermal Bra-Suspension Breast Lift and Reshaping As mentioned above, most standard plastic surgery techniques were created for non-weight loss patients and thus are not optimal in the weight loss patient. Since 2005, Dr. Agha performs a more comprehensive breast lift procedure for the weight loss patient. The procedure, known as the dermal bra suspension mastopexy was pioneered by Drs. Agha and Rubin and has been published in several plastic surgery textbooks. First anchor-incisions are made over the breast to remove the excess breast skin under the breast surface. The nipple areola remains on the lower breast tissue (shown below in white). Again the main principle of this technique, like arm lift, thigh lift, or body lift, is to anchor the breast tissue to a supporting structure and not rely on the skin to hold tissue and shape in place. Since its inception, Dr. Agha has further modified and refined this procedure. Next, the remaining upper breast skin is separated from the lower breast tissue. The breast tissue is then sutured to the rib cage at a higher, pre-planned location centrally. The broad and flattened breast tissue is then sutured to itself to make it narrower and rounder breast, and to create projection. In this manner, the breast tissue is reshaped into a round breast mound. The breast mound is also anchored with sutures to the rib cage at a higher position to the rib cage. Together with the breast lift, many patients will also need to have their inframammary crease recreated as a semi-circular cease rather than a semi-linear crease. The dermal bra suspension breast lift is the most comprehensive breast lift that is available. It usually takes about 1 ½ hour longer than the standard anchor-type breast lift. This is the time needed to suture the breast tissue to itself and to create a projected breast mound that is then sutured to the rib cage at a higher position. #### Dermal Bra-Suspension Breast Lift with Reconstruction of the Inframammary Crease *at a Higher Position on Chest and Reshaping* Some weight loss patients will not only have sagging of breast tissue, but also descent of the whole breast unit on the chest. In these patients, the breast and the inframammary crease are too low on the chest. Instead of the breast being in the middle of the rib cage, they are often on the lower aspect of the rib cage. While, a breast lift will work successfully in lifting the nipple areola and reshaping the breasts at their current location, it does little in elevating the breast unit on the chest. These patients require reconstruction of their mammary crease at a higher position on the chest. Combined breast lift together with reconstruction of the inframammary crease at a higher location on the rib cage, not only lifts the breasts, but also repositions the lifted breasts at a higher, more anatomically correct position on the chest. Thus, the breast tissue is lifted from a higher location on the chest; creating a more powerful breast lift result. Furthermore, the elevation and repositioning of the inframammary crease results in lifting the abdominal skin higher and tightening the upper abdomen. This is known as a reverse tummy tuck. In 2010, Dr. Agha published his experience in 88 patients who had had a reverse tummy tuck and inframammary reconstruction by himself and Dr. Hurwitz. This was the largest series of such procedures that was ever published. *Management of upper abdominal laxity after massive weight loss: reverse abdominoplasty and inframammary fold reconstruction (2010). Agha-Mohammadi S, Hurwitz DJ. Aesthetic Plast Surg. 34(2):226-31.* #### Dermal Bra-Suspension Breast Reduction and Lift Most weight loss patients will lose a significant volume of fat from both breasts. This results in loss of breast shape and ultimate sagging of the breast tissue in an over-stretched and lose breast envelope. However, rarely, a patient presents with larger than ideal breasts. For those patients with large breasts and sagging, Dr. Agha commonly performs a breast reduction with dermal bra suspension breast lift. During this procedure, anchor-type incisions are made over the breast to remove the majority of the excess breast skin under the breast surface. Next, the excess breast tissue is removed while preserving the nipple areola complex attached to a central mass of breast tissue and gland. Following the removal of breast tissue from both breasts, breast symmetry in terms of size and shape are confirmed. Next, a dermal bra suspension breast lift is performed with the remaining breast tissue and gland. Most weight loss patient typically do not have macromastia and only need minor breast reductions to make their breasts even. Also, it is not uncommon to reduce one breast while augmenting the other with your own fat while lifting both breasts. #### Breast Augmentation and Lift For others weight loss patients who require breast volume, Dr. Agha offers either the use of breast implants or your own excess upper body tissue, or fat transfer. #### Breast Implants And Breast Lift When a patient has lost a significant degree of breast fat and tissue or has always had smaller breasts, then she may elect to have a breast augmentation with her breast reshaping surgery. The best way to achieve breast augmentation is through use of breast implants. Whether saline or silicone implants are chosen, Dr. Agha prefers to place the implant under the chest muscle. This produces a more natural and lasting result. The excess breast skin is then removed while the nipple areola is lifted. For those patients who do not have too much excess breast skin, a simpler breast lift (such as a donut breast lift) with breast augmentation may be sufficient. However, this is extremely rare unless the patient always had smaller breasts. In those patients with more breast skin redundancy, then a lollipop or anchor-type incision is needed to remove the excess skin. The lollipop can be used for moderate skin excess and the anchor-type for significant skin excess. In reality, most of our weight loss patients have ended up having the anchor-type incision since the degree of skin laxity and excess is always significant. Furthermore, by removing more skin at the time of surgery, a better and longer lasting result can be achieved. #### Breast Augmentation with Upper Back Flap (Spiral Flap) And Breast Lift This method of breast augmentation with your own back tissue was pioneered and developed by Drs. Hurwitz and Agha and was published in Plastic surgery textbook: In Aesthetic Breast Surgery by Elizabeth Finley-Hall. Autologous Breast Reshaping after Massive Weight Loss (2009). S. Agha-Mohammadi and D.J. Hurwitz. For certain patients, Dr. Agha has found this approach an effective and safe method to reshape the breast, upper chest, and back. It treats the breasts and the upper body laxity in unison, using the excess upper abdominal, chest, or upper back tissue to supplement the breast volume. Thus, both the upper body lift and breast reshaping are performed simultaneously. Although the technique is plausible, the surgery is rather complex and lengthy. #### Breast Reshaping with Fat after Breast Lift Another option to increase breast size, is [breast fat transfer](/breast-fat-transfer-newport-beach/). Fat that has been liposuctioned from various areas is first cleaned and processed. The fat is then precisely injected into the breast to increase breast volume by about 1 cup size. For patients who plan to have breast fat transfer, Dr. Agha usually start the first stage with breast lift and reshaping. Once the breasts have healed and settled, Dr. Agha fills the breasts with fat while reshaping the breasts again. He normally places the majority of the fat in the upper and inner aspect of the breasts to create roundness and cleavage. *This patient presented to Dr. Agha for a total body lift in 2011. Dr. Agha performed a dermal bra-suspension breast lift for the patient as her first surgery. During her lower body lift surgery, liposuctioned fat was transferred into the breasts to create additional fullness and roundness.* #### Recovery In weight loss patients, Dr. Agha typically performs breast lift and reshaping, arm lift, and upper body lift surgeries together during the [second stage](/total-body-lift-post-bariatric/). The combined surgeries will take about 8 hours to perform.

Fat transfer breast augmentation is a great option for many patients seeking natural volume. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Your Body, Your Beauty *Newport Beach Breast Fat Transfer at The One Plastic Surgery Center* What if the secret to fuller, more beautifully contoured breasts was already part of your body? Breast fat transfer is redefining breast enhancement by offering a natural alternative to implants—using your own fat to create soft, subtle volume exactly where you want it. By combining liposuction with advanced fat grafting techniques, this innovative procedure sculpts unwanted fullness from areas like the abdomen or thighs and transfers it to the breasts, delivering a refined, balanced silhouette. The result is an enhancement that looks and feels authentically you, making breast fat transfer one of the most sought-after options for women seeking natural beauty without compromise. Breast fat transfer has been around for decades, but it became widely popular in the United States during the **2010s**, particularly between **2013 and 2020**. At Newport Beach, Dr. Siamak Agha, one of SoCal’s top board-certified plastic surgeons, has been performing breast, face, and buttocks fat transfer since 2007 and has closely followed the science of fat transfer. As a scientists with a PhD in Molecular Biology, he has been advancing the science of fat cell harvest, purification and transfer since then. Continue reading this page to learn more about this natural way of breast augmentation. #### Why Should You Choose Dr. Agha for Your Breast Fat Transfer? *Your Breast Fat Transfer Consultation* Many procedures have standardized techniques. But when it comes to breast fat transfer, there is no recommended or standardized method, and every plastic surgeon uses his or her own technique. Successful, permanent breast fat transfer is a technique-dependent procedure. That means that every detail and step used to harvest, purify, and transfer the fat is important in the survival of the fat cells, ultimately resulting in the permanency of the enhancement. Thus, to achieve the natural-looking breast contour that you desire, you need to choose a highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon who has already developed his unique and proven process for breast fat transfer. As a scientist with a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Fat Cell Research from Cambridge University, Dr. Agha has spent many years determining the best conditions for fat cell retrieval, processing, and transfer. The fact that Dr. Agha has been performing breast fat transfer at Newport Beach since 2007 has allowed him to perfect his technique. Here are the unique things that Dr. Agha does in his signature breast fat transfer: - He harvests fat via liposuction from one or multiple areas of the body using a specific liposuction cannula to minimize trauma to fat cells for transfer. - He uses a low-pressure liposuction machine to obtain fat cells without disintegrating them with high negative pressure. - When cleaning the fat cells, he makes sure to remove medications and blood cells to increase the cells’ chances of survival. - He uses a blunt fat transfer cannula to meticulously place fat as minute droplets within the breast fatty layer and under the breast skin to help them remain viable and permanent. - For instance, this patient wanted to correct her right tuberous breast and augment both breasts using breast fat transfer. Despite the challenge of asymmetrical and tuberous breasts, Dr. Agha was able to provide the patient with her desired D-cup breasts through three stages of breast fat transfers that involved transferring 200 to 250 cc of the patient’s own processed fat at each stage. Combine Dr. Agha’s invaluable experience and aesthetic eye with his years of training at Cambridge University, and you get a board-certified plastic surgeon who definitely knows breast fat transfer inside and out. #### Natural Breast Enhancement *What is Breast Fat Transfer?* Breast fat transfer, also known as breast lipoaugmentation, is a natural breast enhancement procedure that uses your body's own fat to increase breast volume and improve breast shape. Because the breast is composed primarily of glandular tissue and fat, increasing the amount of breast fat can create fuller, more naturally contoured breasts without the use of implants. The procedure involves two key steps: **Liposuction:** The first step is harvesting excess fat from areas of the body where it is unwanted, such as the abdomen, flanks, waist, thighs, or hips. Using specialized liposuction techniques, Dr. Agha carefully removes fat cells while preserving their viability. The harvested fat is then purified and processed to isolate the healthiest fat cells for transfer. **Breast Shaping and Augmentation with Fat Transfer:** Once purified, the fat is meticulously injected into multiple layers of the breast using specialized blunt cannulas. By strategically placing small amounts of fat throughout the breast tissue, Dr. Agha can enhance volume, improve shape, and create smooth, natural-looking contours. This artistic layering technique #### A Century of Innovation in Natural Breast Enhancement The concept of using a patient's own fat to enhance and reshape the breasts is not new. Plastic surgeons have been exploring autologous fat grafting for more than a century. However, widespread acceptance of breast fat transfer did not occur until advances in fat harvesting, processing, and injection techniques made outcomes more predictable and reliable. In 2012, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons recognized the growing body of scientific evidence supporting fat grafting to the breast, noting its ability to safely produce natural-looking results for both breast augmentation and breast reconstruction patients. Today, breast fat transfer has become one of the most sought-after alternatives to breast implants for women seeking subtle to moderate breast enhancement. In the hands of an experienced surgeon, a single procedure can often increase breast size by approximately one cup size while maintaining a soft, natural appearance and feel. As one of the early adopters of breast fat transfer, Dr. Agha has been performing these procedures in Newport Beach since 2007. Through years of clinical experience and innovation, he has refined his own scientific approach to fat grafting, helping patients achieve long-lasting breast enhancement with natural, harmonious results. #### How Big Can Your Breasts Go with Breast Fat Transfer? One of the most common questions women ask about breast fat transfer is: *How much larger can my breasts become?* The answer depends less on how much fat can be injected and more on how much fat your breasts can successfully support. While there is no strict limit to the amount of fat that can be transferred, the survival of the transferred fat cells relies on an adequate blood supply and sufficient existing breast tissue. Transferred fat cells thrive when they are surrounded by healthy breast fat and tissue. For this reason, Dr. Agha strategically places the fat beneath the breast skin and within the breast's natural fatty layer, where it has the best chance of establishing a lasting blood supply. In Dr. Agha's experience, the amount of fat that can be successfully transferred is closely related to the size of the existing breast. Generally, the volume of transferred fat should be proportional to the amount of native breast tissue. For example, women with A-cup breasts can often achieve an increase of approximately one cup size in a single procedure. Those with B-cup breasts may be candidates for an increase of up to 1½ cup sizes, while women with larger C-cup breasts can typically accommodate even greater volumes of fat. For patients seeking a more dramatic transformation—such as increasing from an A cup to a D cup—multiple fat transfer sessions may be required to gradually build volume while maintaining optimal fat survival. In these cases, two or three procedures may be necessary to achieve the desired result. If your goal is a significant increase in breast size with a single surgery, breast implants may be a more suitable option. Fat transfer, on the other hand, is ideal for women seeking natural-looking enhancement, improved breast shape, and modest-to-moderate increases in volume using their own tissue. #### How Does Dr. Agha Perform Breast Fat Transfer? *Your Breast Fat Transfer Procedure* Breast fat transfer is a highly specialized procedure that combines advanced liposuction with precise fat grafting techniques to create fuller, natural-looking breasts. Because the long-term success of fat transfer depends on the survival of the transferred fat cells, the outcome is heavily influenced by your surgeon's experience, harvesting methods, and injection techniques. Dr. Agha has refined his approach to maximize fat survival, enhance breast shape, and achieve long-lasting results. Dr. Agha takes the time to know you as a person and fully understand your specific goals. He is a dear physician who communicates clearly and concisely. — Lesley L. #### Shape Your Silhouette #### Breast Fat Transfer vs. Breast Implants *What’s the Difference?* While both breast implants and breast fat transfer can enhance breast size, they accomplish this goal in very different ways. Breast implants are designed primarily to increase breast volume. Breast fat transfer, on the other hand, not only enhances size but also allows for precise sculpting of the breast shape and contour. Because the transferred fat becomes part of your natural breast tissue, Dr. Agha can selectively enhance specific areas of the breast to create customized results. For example, breast fat transfer can be used to: - Increase upper-pole fullness - Enhance cleavage - Improve breast roundness - Correct breast asymmetry - Refine breast contours - Create a more youthful breast shape Unlike implants, which enlarge the entire breast uniformly, fat transfer allows for targeted enhancement of specific regions. This level of customization makes it an excellent option for patients seeking subtle, natural-looking improvements. #### Breast Fat Transfer: Pros and Cons #### Effortless Elegance *Breast Fat Transfer Recovery and Aftercare* Please read the [general information on recovery after breast surgery](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-breast/) and after [liposuction](/liposuction-newport-beach/). Though it would take a few days for your recovery from liposuction, the actual breast fat transfer procedure causes minimal pain. Expect to experience mild swelling and bruising of the liposuction sites for the first 7-10 days. Your breasts might also feel slightly sore from fat injections. If you experience discomfort, you can take the oral pain meds that Dr. Agha would prescribe to you. Do not sleep on your stomach while you’re recovering to avoid placing pressure on your breasts and ensure the viability of the transferred fat. DO NOT apply ice to the breasts since this can damage the transferred fat cells. To increase fat cell survival, you may consider 10 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Though breast implants can help you attain the breast appearance you desire, it’s important to appreciate that your breast implants are not permanent and may require replacement during your lifetime. Plus, several problems may arise as a result of using implants. These may occur soon or many years after your breast augmentation. Familiarize yourself with the possible complications of getting breast implants so that you can make an informed decision before your plastic surgery. Read on to find out more. #### What are Breast Implant-Related Complications? Breast implants are human-made devices created by three USA manufacturers: [Allergan](/blog/go-gummy-a-guide-on-choosing-the-best-natrelle-breast-implants/), [Mentor](/blog/mentor-breast-implants-choosing-the-best-one-for-your-needs/), and [Sientra](/blog/sientra-opus-breast-implants-the-best-choice-for-gummy-silicone-gel-implants/). Although breast implants are extremely safe and used by about 350,000 patients annually in the US, they are not without their own set of related issues and problems. Like any other human-made implantable medical device (such as heart valves and artificial joints), some patients will require revisions or reoperations. *Before and After* This is a 27-year-old female who exchanged her saline implants with silicone implants and had her right nipple asymmetry corrected by Dr. Agha. The post-operative picture was taken at one year. #### Why Choose The One Plastic Surgery Center *Minimal Risks & Superior Outcomes* Dr. Siamak Agha of The One Plastic Surgery Center uses a systematic approach to breast augmentation, minimizing implant-related complications while improving patient outcomes and satisfaction ratings. He feels that the real focus should be on the prevention of these problems as much as possible. Still, it won’t hurt to know about these possible complications, which are as follows: #### Capsular Contracture Capsular contracture is the leading cause of breast augmentation complications. It occurs when the scar tissue or capsule that usually forms around the implant tightens and squeezes the implant. This can cause the implant to migrate or get displaced, resulting in a tight-looking and deformed breast. It can also be painful. Capsular contracture happens over time in one or both of the implanted breasts. It may be more common following infection, hematoma, and seroma. Plus, the chances of it happening may increase over time. Capsular contracture is believed to be caused by contamination of the implant with bacteria normally residing in breast glands. The bacteria form a biofilm around the implant to which the human body reacts by thickening the usually paper-thin capsule. Symptoms of capsular contracture range from mild firmness and mild discomfort to severe pain, distorted shape of the implant, and palpability — the ability to feel the implant. *Before and After* This 31-year-old female developed capsular contracture about four months after her submuscular breast augmentation with saline implants. The patient underwent a complete capsulectomy and implant exchange by Dr. Agha six months after her first surgery. The post-op picture is shown three months after reoperation. #### Breast Implant Rupture or Deflation Breast implants rupture when the implant shell develops a tear or a hole. Rupture may occur any time after implantation, but they are more likely to do so the longer it is implanted. Dr. Agha recommends removing the implant if it has ruptured, regardless of whether it is saline-filled or silicone gel-filled. *Before and After* This is a 50-year-old female presented to Dr. Agha with left saline implant deflation over a few weeks. The patient underwent an exchange of both saline implants. The post-op picture is shown three months after reoperation. According to a study by the Institute of Medicine, the following procedures may contribute to breast implant rupture or deflation, which is why Dr. Agha strictly avoids them: - Closed capsulotomy, a technique used to relieve capsular contracture that involves manually squeezing the breast to break the hard capsule - Placement of drugs or substances inside the implant other than sterile saline - Injection through the implant shell - Alteration of the implant - Stacking of the implants, which happens when more than one implant is used per breast pocket Other reasons for the rupture or deflation of breast implants include: - Normal aging of the implant - Damage caused by breast procedures, such as biopsies and fluid drainage - Significant compression during mammographic imaging - Stresses, such as trauma or intense physical pressure - Capsular contracture - Under-filling of saline-filled breast implants #### Get Your Breast Augmentation Done in Orange County and Los Angeles When selecting a plastic surgeon to perform your breast augmentation, it is important to understand their complication and re-operation rates and choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who can deal effectively with any complication. Fortunately for you, Dr. Agha fits the role well. His reoperation rate is significantly lower than those published in the plastic surgery literature. --- ## Breast Implant Illness **Link:** [Breast Implant Illness](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast-implant-illness-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast-implant-illness-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn more about breast implant illnesses & en bloc implant removal from an expert like Dr. Siamak Agha, a World-renowned plastic surgeon in Newport Beach.

In Newport Beach, CA, The One Plastic Surgery Center offer expert Breast Implant Removal and Breast Restoration, focusing on patients with Breast Implant Illness Symptoms. #### Rebalance, Renew, Restore *What is Breast Implant Illness?* Breast implant illness (BII) refers to a wide range of symptoms that might develop after [breast augmentation](/breast-augmentation-newport-beach/) or [breast reconstruction](/breast-reconstruction-newport-beach/) surgery. According to [BreastCancer.org](https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/reconstruction/types/implants/special-report/breast-implant-illness), BII symptoms include: - Joint and muscle pain - Chronic fatigue - Breathing problems - Gastrointestinal problems - Sleep disturbance - Rashes and skin problems - Dry mouth and dry eyes - Anxiety - Depression - Headaches - Hair loss - Memory and concentration problems These symptoms can happen with any type of breast implant, whatever its material, shape, or texture. They can also appear any time after the insertion of implants, as some people immediately develop symptoms, while others get them years later. Many of these BII symptoms are associated with autoimmune and connective tissue disorders like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma. In fact, some people with BII also get diagnosed with such conditions. That is why BII is also referred to as autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA). #### Considering Breast Implant Removal in Newport Beach, CA? Breast implants can enhance your figure, but some women choose to have them removed for various reasons: - Personal Preference: Your lifestyle or aesthetic goals may evolve, leading to a desire for explanation. - Health Concerns: Ruptured implants, capsular contracture, or BII symptoms may necessitate removal. It has taken 20 years and a surgeon inventor to come up with a series of advances to restore your breast shape, position, and projection – The Internal Dermal-Bra Breast Lift and Restoration #### Dr. Agha offers a comprehensive service tailored to your individual needs, that may include: Dr. Agha offers a comprehensive service tailored to your individual needs, that may include: #### Reclaim Your Health *What Causes BII?* Though researchers are still studying why BII develops, there are a couple of theories in place. One of the leading ones is the predisposition of some people to develop an immune reaction to the materials used in breast implants. It leads to inflammation, resulting in rashes, joint and muscle pain, and gastrointestinal problems. Some studies show that tiny amounts of silicone and platinum found in breast implants can seep out of an intact shell and spread into the surrounding tissue. Implant rupture can also cause other substances to spread within the scar tissue capsule surrounding the implant to other parts of the body. The longer the implant is in place, the higher the likelihood it will rupture. After all, some women with BII have a ruptured implant. Silicone polymers found in all breast implant shells may also cause the immune system to react. Another group of researchers attributes BII to microbiological abnormalities. [A study of 50 self-diagnosed BII patients](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7209857/pdf/gox-8-e2755.pdf) revealed that 36% of them had chronic contamination upon examining their removed implants. Two-thirds of these contaminations were caused by Propionibacterium acnes, a known pathogen for various rheumatological disorders. Cultures also showed small amounts of Staphylococcus epidermidis, but it was present in both the BII and control groups. Furthermore, researchers discovered that natural killer cell function becomes suppressed in the presence of an infected breast implant but returns to normal once the implant has been explanted. It supports the theory that bacterial infections most probably cause BII. Although there was no significant difference in the proportion of saline and silicone implants in both groups, it appears that patients with BII symptoms have textured implants. These may harbor more significant amounts of bacteria. With these findings, there is a possibility that BII can be treated or even prevented with antibiotic prophylaxis regimens. However, further studies are needed to pinpoint the exact cause. #### Renew Your Natural Beauty *En Bloc Capsulectomy: BII Treatment* In most cases, the best way to treat breast implant illness is to surgically remove the breast implants and the surrounding scar tissue capsules. The latter is only recommended if the capsule is abnormal since capsulectomy is not without its surgical risks. Some plastic surgeons do “en bloc capsulectomy,” a procedure that removes the implant and capsule in one piece. It can help prevent silicone, bacterial colonies, and other substances within the capsule from escaping into the body. Removing the scar tissue capsules also reduces the risk of fluid accumulation within the area after surgery. Another recommended procedure is total capsulectomy, which removes both the implant and capsule but not in one bloc. Although doctors do not recommend getting implants again after developing BII, some patients still insist on replacing the implants with a different type. Though this may improve BII symptoms, it’s still possible to develop BII over time. After all, all implants have silicone shells that may cause the body to react to them. #### Achieving Your Desired Outcome *Implant Removal & Breast Restoration Results* Results from implant removal and breast restoration can vary, with initial improvements visible shortly after surgery. However, final results typically become evident over several weeks as swelling subsides. Patients may experience some discomfort post-treatment and should avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks. It's essential to follow post-operative instructions diligently, including proper incision care and scar prevention techniques. Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon ensure optimal healing and address any concerns. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras may be recommended to maintain results. Overall, patients can expect renewed confidence and satisfaction with their breast appearance. #### Ensuring Long-Term Success *Implant Removal & Breast Restoration and Aftercare* After implant removal and breast restoration, patients should expect a gradual improvement in breast appearance. Initial results may be visible soon after surgery, but the final outcome typically manifests over several weeks, with incision scars continuing to improve and blend in for up to a year or longer. During recovery, it's crucial to avoid strenuous activities and follow the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon. Proper incision care and scar prevention techniques are essential to optimize healing and minimize scarring. Regular follow-up appointments allow your surgeon to monitor progress and address any concerns. #### A Tailored Approach *Schedule Your Implant Removal & Breast Restoration Consultation Today* At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, CA, we understand breast implant removal's physical and emotional aspects.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content If you want to enjoy larger breasts, [breast augmentation](/breast-augmentation-newport-beach/) is the answer. It not only results in a more attractive bosom but also helps make your figure look more balanced and proportional. There’s just one thing you have to remember when you get implants: they eventually have to be removed. It’s not just because you had a sudden change of heart. Most implants only last for about ten years, so they have to be replaced at some point. Other women experience [implant complications](/breast-implant-complications-newport-beach/), such as breast implant leakage, capsular contracture, implant shifting, and pain, so breast implant removal becomes necessary. However, simply removing them often leads to saggy breasts and loose skin. [.divider-lines]That’s why it is recommended that you pair it with a [breast lift](/breast-lift-newport-beach/)—specifically, Dr. Siamak Agha’s dermal bra suspension breast lift (DBSM) technique—or [breast fat transfer](/breast-fat-transfer-newport-beach/), which increases your breast volume by using your own fat from other body parts and transferring them to your breasts.[] Discover more about breast implant removal and lift with top SoCal plastic surgeon Dr. Agha in this article. [VIew Gallery](/gallery/breast/breast-implant-removal-before-and-after-photos/) #### What is Breast Implant Removal and Lift? Breast implant removal is a procedure that reverses a previous breast augmentation. The implants are removed to address breast implant complications that you may be experiencing. Unfortunately, performing breast implant removal alone may leave your breasts loose and sagging. This may affect your confidence, especially since you once had implants to make your breasts look fuller. To restore your breasts’ firm and round look, a breast lift is needed. It rejuvenates the breasts’ droopy appearance by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to raise the breasts and support their new contour. Though a breast lift can be performed through various techniques, different surgical methods do not render the same outcome. That’s why we highly recommend the dermal bra suspension mastopexy (DBSM), an innovative approach to achieve better and longer-lasting results. Pioneered by Dr. Agha and Dr. Peter Rubin in 2005, DBSM is a three-dimensional technique that corrects the breasts’ width, height, and projection. It uses multiple internal breast suturing to the ribcage or chest muscle resulting in: - More long-lasting outcomes - Better healing because there’s no internal pressure on the incisions - No breast volume loss that’s usually associated with a breast lift DBSM is the most comprehensive breast lift procedure that gives you firmer, perkier, and more natural-looking breasts. But due to its long learning curve, it’s best left in the hands of experienced plastic surgeons like Dr. Agha. #### 4 Common Reasons Why You Need Implant Removal and Lift #### How Does Dr. Agha Perform Breast Implant Removal and Lift?

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content For a lot of women, nothing warms the heart more than being a mom and taking care of their precious little ones. Unfortunately, it comes with a steep price tag — particularly in your bust area. Pregnancy and breastfeeding make your breasts naturally look bigger and fuller. But once you give birth and stop breastfeeding, your breasts will not only look smaller, but saggy as well. In fact, it isn’t uncommon for women to drop a cup size after breastfeeding. And the more babies you have, the more your breasts tend to droop. Of course, choosing the right bra can make your breasts look better. But at the end of the day, the sagging breasts and enlarged nipples and areolae can punch a huge blow in your confidence and self-esteem. You might feel insecure wearing revealing clothing. You might feel too self-conscious with your naked body. You might even feel less attractive despite the fact that your breasts are fully hidden beneath your clothes. Wouldn’t it feel nice to wear that sexy V-neck dress after having babies? [.divider-lines]If you want to have a more youthful breast shape with your nipples and areolae sized just right, then a Newport Beach breast lift by Dr. Siamak Agha, one of SoCal’s top plastic surgeons, is all you need to achieve that.[] Not only does it give you perkier and natural-looking breasts, but it also corrects the size of your areola to give you a more youthful and uplifted profile. Whether you’ve recently been pregnant, lost a lot of weight, or simply got saggy breasts, a breast lift can do wonders for your figure.

The reality is, women’s bodies go through a lot as they age. Women’s breasts are normally located over the second to sixth ribs. The nipple and parenchyma — the glandular tissues and fats that make up the breasts — should normally be sitting above the crease of the breast, known as the inframammary fold. The breast is made up of breast fat and breast glands. These are held in place on the chest via many suspensory ligaments that extend from the breast skin to the chest muscle. But over time, the breasts experience various changes that lead to breast ptosis or sagging, which occurs as a result of the loosening of skin and ligaments within the breast tissue. It is characterized by an enlarged areola and nipple that points downwards. According to the [Regnault Classification](https://academic.oup.com/asj/article/22/4/355/208705), breast ptosis can be classified into three grades: - **Grade 1** – characterized by mild sagging as the nipple lies at the level of the inframammary fold and the parenchyma below it - **Grade 2** – characterized by moderate sagging as the nipple lies below the level of the inframammary fold but above the lowest hanging part of the parenchyma - **Grade 3** – characterized by severe sagging as the nipple lies way below the level of the inframammary fold at the lowest hanging part of the parenchyma But what makes your breasts sag? Here are the most common reasons: - **Aging** – As you grow older, the connective tissue ligaments within your breast tissues and skin become lax, meaning they loosen up due to the force of gravity. - **Pregnancy and breastfeeding** – During pregnancy, your breasts enlarge to prepare for nursing. After childbirth, the glands return to their usual pre-pregnancy size. But the stretched skin and loose ligaments don’t always return to their normal size and proportions, leading to breast sagging. - **Weight gain and loss** – Gaining a significant amount of weight can increase your breast volume and weight, resulting in sagging. Weight gain may also increase the stress on the suspensory ligaments. It also causes the collagen within your skin to tear and develop striae or stretch marks. Thus, when you lose weight after pregnancy or bariatric surgery, the skin and ligaments might fail to retract and hold the shape of your breasts. The loss of fatty tissue also leaves your breasts looking deflated. - **Macromastia** – Pertaining to very large breasts, macromastia is often accompanied by breast drooping as a result of excess breast weight. It can also cause discomfort and look unpleasant due to sagging. - **Breast augmentation** – Large breast implants can cause excessive stretching of your breast skin and suspensory ligaments. This is further exacerbated as you age. - **Heredity** – Your genes may play a factor in breast sagging as well, resulting in teenage breast drooping. Family members often may have similar issues. That is why it is almost inevitable for the breasts to lose their youthful shape, position, and firmness, leading to breast drooping. Fortunately, there is something you can do about it. #### What is a Breast Lift? Medically known as mastopexy, a breast lift is a procedure that uplifts your breasts to a more natural position on your chest. It can restore the firmness and shape of your breasts, resulting in a perkier bust. According to the 2019 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report by the [American Society of Plastic Surgeons](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/), breast lift remains to be one of the five most popular cosmetic surgeries among women aged 20 to 54. In general, a breast lift works by advancing the internal breast tissues to a higher location on the chest wall, then removing excess skin. Sometimes, the nipple-areola complexes are also reduced and repositioned for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. With a breast lift, you can rejuvenate your figure with an uplifted and youthful breast profile. #### What are the Main Breast Lift Techniques Offered by Dr. Agha? *There are multiple breast lift techniques, but the following are the most common ones that plastic surgeons use* #### How Does Dr. Agha Do a Breast Lift? Depending on the chosen technique and extent of the procedure, breast lift surgery may take anywhere from one to four hours. It is performed as an outpatient procedure in an ambulatory surgery center. The cornerstone of Dr. Agha’s approach is to customize the breast lift to your specific needs and circumstances and ensure that you have a clear understanding of the procedure so that you can make a fully informed decision. Here is a rundown of Dr. Agha’s breast lift process. It is now four weeks since my surgery and my new breasts are beautiful! I was confident Dr. Agha would do an amazing job going into the surgery, but he has exceeded all of my expectations. Krista R. #### Why Should You Choose Dr. Agha for Your Breast Lift? Like all body parts, the breasts have a three-dimensional shape in space. In their ideal youthful form, they are hemisphere-shaped on the rib cage. As they sag, the breast tissue descends, making the breast wider and longer. In terms of projection, the breasts become flat and point downwards. Most standard plastic surgery procedures have been developed to correct height and width issues. Unfortunately, these are two-dimensional corrections, offering little adjustment to the third dimension: breast projection. Appreciation of this limitation of standard plastic surgery procedures has formed the basis for Dr. Agha’s practice and innovation of techniques that not only emphasize definition but also projection. In the past 15 years, Dr. Agha has developed signature procedures that create natural-looking body parts that do not appear flat, whether it is the [contoured facelift™](/facelift-newport-beach/) or the [high-definition tummy tuck™](/tummy-tuck-newport-beach/). When it comes to the breasts, Dr. Agha is able to create breasts that are rounder, lifted, and well-projected using only your own tissue. In other words, a breast lift by Dr. Agha does not need an implant to make the breasts round, perky, defined, and appropriately projected. #### How Do You Recover from a Breast Lift? Please read the [general information on recovery after breast surgery](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-breast/). Expect to feel sore for the first few days after your surgery. You can easily manage this with painkillers prescribed to you. Also, the pain should be manageable enough to allow you to walk around after 24 hours. Avoid wearing a bra with underwire. You will be asked to wear a surgical bra for 4-6 weeks to reduce swelling and hasten your healing. You might notice that the skin of your breasts might become shiny. It happens as a result of the swelling that typically occurs after any breast surgery and will subside after three to five weeks. You might experience a burning sensation in your nipples for about two weeks, but it will also subside as bruising fades. As your sensory nerves regenerate, you’ll often feel a tingling, burning sensation or shooting pain. Your nipples may even become hypersensitive. Gently massaging the area helps. Sleep on your back during the first 2 weeks post-op to reduce any discomfort. You may return to work 10 – 14 days after your breast lift, as long as you feel comfortable and your activities aren’t strenuous. Keep in mind that it’s normal for your two breasts to heal differently. Don’t worry because once your healing is completed, your breasts should look similar and natural. This can take 3 to 6 months. Make sure that you continue doing routine mammograms after your breast lift.

Schedule an appointment and enhance your look today! NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Some women want large noticeable breasts, while others are content with their small perky breasts. But one combination that no woman seems to want is small and droopy breasts — usually resulting from loss of breast volume after pregnancy or massive weight loss. In such cases, a single procedure isn’t enough to give you the exact results you want. Breast augmentation alone won’t solve breast sagging, while a solo breast lift won’t increase your breast volume. So, if you want to make the most out of your surgery and maximize your results, you should combine your breast lift with implants or another form of breast augmentation. Breast lift with breast implants is an ideal solution for sagging breasts that have lost their volume and firmness, especially afer nursing. It is intended to make your breasts larger, correctly positioned on your chest, and better-proportioned to the rest of your body. [.divider-lines]This combined approach effectively addresses both the need for volume enhancement and the correction of sagging, resulting in a fuller, uplifted breast profile. This procedure is particularly beneficial for women seeking to restore their breast shape and size more comprehensively.[] When you get a breast lift together with breast augmentation, you don’t need to add as much volume to your implants anymore. That is because a breast lift will position your breasts on your chest wall in such a way that they appear perkier and more uplifted. Plus, it will also hold the shape of your breasts better. Also since implants add volume to your breasts, you do not have to remove as much breast skin and you may end up with shorter incisions. [View Gallery](/gallery/breast/breast-lift-before-and-after-photos/) #### What is Breast Lift with Implants? This procedure is a combination of breast augmentation and breast lift. It is intended to make your breasts larger, correctly positioned on your chest, and better-proportioned to the rest of your body. When you get a breast lift together with breast augmentation, you don’t need to add as much volume to your implants anymore. That is because a breast lift will already position your breasts on your chest wall in such a way that they appear perkier and more uplifted. Plus, it will also hold the shape of your breasts better. #### What Makes Dr. Agha’s Approach Different and Effective? *Breast Lift vs. Breast Lift with Implants: What are the Differences?* If you are unhappy with your breast shape or you experience breast sagging, then you will need a breast lift to correct the sagging and to uplift the breast into a more natural position on your chest. Dr. Agha offers several different breast lift options, but before getting one, you need to decide whether you want a natural breast look or an augmented look. Both of these looks are highly requested. In fact, half of our patients want to have a natural look, while the other half desire an augmented look. When considering breast implants with lift, it’s important to understand how these procedures differ. A breast lift procedure primarily aims to remove excess skin and reposition the existing breast tissue to achieve a more youthful and lifted appearance. This often involves reshaping the breast tissue, removing breast skin and adjusting the nipple-areola complex. Breast implant surgery, on the other hand, focuses on enhancing the size and fullness of the breasts. Combining these two procedures can provide both lift and volume, addressing issues of sagging and size simultaneously. Good candidates for a combined breast lift with implants are those who not only want to increase their breast size but also improve the overall shape and position of their breasts. This dual approach is ideal for women who have experienced changes in their breast skin elasticity due to factors like pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or aging. By removing excess skin and adding implants, the breast lift with implants procedure can restore a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing breast contour. #### Do You Need a Breast Lift with Implants? **If you answered YES to any of these questions, you are a prime candidate for a breast lift with implants.** Just make sure that you are in an overall state of good physical and mental health, plus you have realistic expectations when it comes to the results of your surgery. #### How Does Dr. Agha Do Breast Lift with Implants? Before your surgery, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer general anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the surgery. If you need a small correction of the nipple-areola position, Dr. Agha typically performs a Benelli donut mastopexy with breast augmentation. In this technique, Dr. Agha excises a donut-shaped skin excess around the nipple-areola complex. The incision also serves as a way to insert the breast implants either under your chest muscles (submuscular) or between your chest muscles and breast tissues (subglandular). Afterward, your nipple and areola are lifted over the new fuller breast mound. If you have a large amount of excess skin, Dr. Agha uses either the vertical mastopexy or Wise pattern mastopexy to trim unwanted skin and treat breast tissue sagging. All these techniques are combined with breast implant insertion typically under the chest muscle to augment the breasts. [Learn more about these breast lift techniques](/breast-lift-newport-beach/). Dr. Agha is honestly a godsend! I had 2 botched surgeries on my breasts when I finally decided to go to Dr. Agha for a revision. I am so happy with the outcome! He did what the previous surgeons couldn’t. I should have gone to him in the first place! I’m looking forward to working with him and his amazing staff in any future surgeries. Jp31 #### What Makes Dr. Agha’s Approach Different and Effective? The cornerstone of Dr. Agha’s approach in any surgery is to customize the treatment to your specific anatomy, needs, and preferences. Doing so will increase your satisfaction with the results as you get to achieve the appearance you desire. That said, Dr. Agha does not offer a cookie-cutter plan for everyone. He will assess multiple factors that may affect your results, such as breast volume, symmetry, form, shape, crease position, degree of sagging, skin quality, and skin excess before creating a customized surgical plan. For instance, when your breasts are asymmetrical, he will first reduce the larger one to match the smaller one, then he will augment both equally with the same implant size and type. Doing so helps you achieve symmetrical breast shape and size. Rest assured that Dr. Agha will listen to your goals and desires for breast augmentation. If you want to achieve more natural-looking results, pairing the breast lift with a fat transfer might be ideal. But if you want bigger and perkier breasts, a breast lift with implants will do the trick. #### What are the Results of Breast Lift with Implants? When you get a combination of breast lift and breast augmentation, expect to achieve the following results: - Larger and perkier breasts - Breasts that are proportional to the rest of the body - Appropriately positioned breasts and nipple-areola complex on the chest wall - Increased confidence and self-esteem --- ## BREAST RECONSTRUCTION **Link:** [BREAST RECONSTRUCTION](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast-reconstruction-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast-reconstruction-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Breast reconstruction surgery helps to restore the chest's contour and fullness. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Being diagnosed with breast cancer is not only physically taxing, but also emotionally and mentally draining. Women diagnosed with breast cancer face a multitude of mental, emotional, and physical challenges. The disease starts with a tumor, which, if not removed early on, may spread to the lymph nodes and metastasize to other parts and organs of your body. Before you know it, the cancer may progress so much that there is no other way to cure it but to have part or the entire breast removed. Add that with the emotional baggage of dealing with hair loss and skin changes, and you have a disease that challenges your emotional stability. The potential of losing one or both your breasts can greatly affect the perception you hold of your body, self-image, and identity. It can even make you question yourself as a woman, affecting your self-esteem and sex drive. Fortunately, you have the option of restoring the appearance of your missing breasts through breast reconstruction surgery. [.divider-lines]Dr. Siamak Agha, one of SoCal’s top board-certified plastic surgeons, can help you renew your sense of femininity and beauty by recreating the size and shape of your natural breast.[] Learn more about how breast reconstruction can help you restore your confidence after having your breasts removed by reading the rest of this article. #### What is Breast Reconstruction? Once you are diagnosed with breast cancer that doesn’t respond to non-invasive treatments, you have two surgical options to choose from. The first one is a lumpectomy, which is the removal of the cancerous tumor. The second and more drastic one is a mastectomy, which is the removal of the entire breast. In both cases, breast reconstruction surgery may be needed to rebuild the shape and look of the breast so that you can regain your initial physical appearance. The goal of the surgery is to create a reconstructed breast that resembles the other breast in shape and size. If both breasts have undergone a mastectomy, then breast reconstruction can be used to create balance and stability for the patient. But more than the physical appearance, breast reconstruction can help you recapture your self-esteem by having beautiful breasts again, thereby improving your quality of life. With breast reconstruction, you can live your life without having a constant reminder of your mastectomy or lumpectomy. In turn, this can lead to a healthier lifestyle where you feel good about your appearance after combating breast cancer. I had breast reconstruction after a mastectomy by a well-known surgeon who botched the surgery and left me disfigured. Dr. Agha not only repaired the damage, his reconstruction surgery corrected the problem completely. Betsy S. #### What are the Different Breast Reconstruction Techniques? Thanks to the latest technological advancements, women now have several options when it comes to breast reconstruction techniques. In general, you can choose between implant reconstruction and/or flap breast reconstruction. Get more in-depth information about these methods as you read along. #### How Does Dr. Agha Do Breast Reconstruction? As previously mentioned, breast reconstruction often requires more than one procedure. You may choose to do the surgery at the same time as your mastectomy or wait until you have healed from it. Here is a rundown of Dr. Agha’s approach in performing breast reconstruction. #### How Do You Recover from Breast Reconstruction? Please read the [general information on recovery after breast surgery](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-breast/). Since breast reconstruction surgery is an ongoing process that’s completed in several stages, you should be prepared to deal with several months of discomfort. Typically, breast reconstruction needs at least six weeks of recovery. Flap reconstruction may take a longer healing time than implant reconstruction because healing must take place in two areas of the body. You might need to stay in the hospital for two to five days after your breast reconstruction. You will experience bruising, swelling, soreness, and numbness or loss of sensation at your surgical site for at least two weeks post-op. It may even take up to eight weeks for bruising and swelling to subside. Dr. Agha will prescribe you pain medications to manage discomfort. You will be asked to wear a firm, supportive bra without any underwire and lace while you’re healing. Ask Dr. Agha when you are allowed to go back to wearing regular bras. As for scarring, it may take one to two years for your tissues to fully heal and the scars to fade until they become unnoticeable. You should also be aware that it is normal to go through a period of emotional adjustment as you adjust to your reconstructed breast. After all, breast reconstruction does not restore normal feeling to your breast. However, some sensation may return in a few years. To help you cope emotionally, talk with other patients who have undergone breast reconstruction, and share your experiences with one another. Here is the estimated timeline of your breast reconstruction recovery. #### Breast Reconstruction *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Breast Reconstruction Done in Newport Beach, Orange County Getting breast reconstruction surgery is not a one-time deal. It is a long and winding process that can take a toll on your physical, mental, and emotional health, but rest assured that we will hold your hand every step of the way here in The One Plastic Surgery Center. **Dr. Agha’s board certification and more than a decade of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery ensure that you can achieve your desired results as much as possible.** He also makes sure that your breast reconstruction is handled with utmost safety and compassion, from consultation to post-op care. --- ## BREAST REDUCTION **Link:** [BREAST REDUCTION](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast-reduction-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/breast-reduction-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Breast reduction surgery can provide many aesthetic and medical benefits. It can reduce back strain & balance the body's proportions. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content A part from the hips and waist, the breasts are another crucial element in achieving a breathtaking hourglass figure. That’s why a lot of women want to get larger breasts to accentuate their physique. After all, who would say no to Sofia Vergara’s plump puppies or Emily Ratajkowski’s well-endowed bust? But despite the common belief that the bigger your breasts are, the better, not all women are enjoying the natural cleavage that everyone else seems to envy. Some suffer in silence because of the weight of their breasts. They experience back and neck pain, skin irritation, shoulder deformities, and even breathing problems simply because of the size of their chest. On top of these health risks, larger breasts are more prone to breast sagging because of the pull of gravity. Normal breasts are supposed to be round and proportional to the body frame. They should be located in the mid-chest and extend on the outer chest as breast tail, which forms the upper portion of the hourglass look. Thankfully, these consequences of having large breasts can be reduced — or even reversed — by going one or two cup sizes down via a Newport Beach breast reduction. [.divider-lines]Under the expertise and qualified hands of SoCal’s top plastic surgeon, Dr. Siamak Agha, you can achieve a more manageable breast size that’s more proportional to the rest of your body, improving your quality of life in the process.[] In this article, discover how you can get a more balanced figure through breast reduction. [View Gallery](/gallery/breast/breast-reduction-before-and-after-photos/) #### How Do Breasts Develop? Contrary to popular belief, breast development does not start at puberty. It begins way back when you’re still in your mother’s uterus, then continues throughout puberty, adolescence, and all the way through early adulthood. Your actual breast size is determined by several factors, such as the following: - Genetics - Age - Hormones - Medication - Weight - Environmental influences Influenced by these factors, some women develop breasts that are larger than what is proportional to the rest of their body. The development of abnormally large breasts is called macromastia. Though no one has pinpointed the exact cause of this condition, one of the possible reasons is increased sensitivity to estrogen, which is a hormone that causes your breast ducts to increase in size during the menstrual cycle. Macromastia can cause issues like: - Musculoskeletal problems in your back, shoulder, and neck - Chronic rash and inflammation beneath the breast crease - Nerve compression of the arms - Skin indentations on the shoulder due to the strain of bra straps - Tiredness and lethargy due to breast weight - Limited exercises, sports, and physical activities due to the size of the breasts - Limited clothing options - Painful mammograms that require stricter measures to ensure accuracy - Depression, self-consciousness, and low self-esteem Fortunately, women with macromastia are the perfect candidates for breast reduction surgery. #### What is Breast Reduction Surgery? Breast reduction surgery — medically known as reduction mammoplasty — reduces your breast size to help you achieve a better figure. It entails removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin of the breasts. It also involves repositioning the nipple and areola and reducing areola size so that you can sport better-proportioned breasts and be confident with their appearance. Though breast reduction is a procedure exclusive for women, men also have their own version with [gynecomastia surgery](/gynecomastia-surgery-newport-beach/). According to data gathered by the [American Society of Plastic Surgeons](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/), [more than 46,000 women in the United States underwent breast reduction surgery for aesthetic purposes in 2019](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/plasticsurgerycal.com/files/plastic-surgery-statistics-full-report-2019.pdf), and over 61,000 got the same procedure for reconstructive purposes. Breast reduction gives you freedom from the inconveniences, pains, and deformities caused by large breasts. This procedure can also prevent your breasts from sagging. #### What are the Different Breast Reduction Techniques? Depending on your condition, breast composition, and amount of breast tissue and fat that need to be excised, Dr. Agha may use one of the following breast reduction techniques for your surgery. Most breast reduction techniques are actually a combination of breast reduction and breast lift. The breast reduction segment is virtually the same for most approaches. It is the breast lift technique that defines the final shape and result. #### How Does Dr. Agha Do Breast Reduction? Breast reduction surgery is often done as an outpatient procedure. It takes approximately three to four hours to perform. Here is a summary of Dr. Agha’s step-by-step breast reduction process #### Why Should You Choose Dr. Agha for Your Breast Reduction? When it comes to breast reduction, removing excess tissue is the easy part. It’s what you do with the remaining breast tissue that makes the difference. In other words, if you don’t plan the surgery well, then you will not only end up with a smaller breast but a flatter one as well. Most plastic surgeons only focus on breast tissue excision, offering only two-dimensional breast correction. They only provide little adjustment to the third dimension: breast projection. Dr. Agha pays significant attention to the amount of breast that should be preserved to recreate a breast mound at a higher position. Aside from performing breast reduction and reshaping, he combines it with a comprehensive lift technique like the dermal bra suspension to create a rounder, perkier, and appropriately projected breast using your own tissue. Dr. Agha’s focus on three-dimensional breast reduction and reshaping has allowed him to create natural-looking breasts that emphasize both definition and projection. #### How Do You Recover from Breast Reduction? Once you wake up in the recovery room in about an hour or so after your breast reduction, you are allowed to go home with a friend or family member. While most breast reduction patients can get back to work after two weeks of recovery, the key to a successful recovery is to follow Dr. Agha’s instructions.

To Stunningly Younger-Looking Breasts ### Content Whether you wish to remove your implants for personal reasons, [breast implant illness](/breast-implant-illness-newport-beach/), and/or implant complications, breast implant removal with or without the surrounding capsule is a relatively simple procedure. However, simply removing the implants often leads to saggy breasts and loose skin. To avoid this, a comprehensive approach to breast lift, reshaping and restoration is oftentimes needed.

[Access Gallery](/gallery/breast/) It has taken 20 years and a surgeon inventor to come up with a series of advances to restore your breast shape, position, and projection - The Internal Dermal-Bra Breast Lift and Restoration. #### WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF BREAST IMPLANTS ON BREASTS? To appreciate why the IDBBL is a superior breast lift, it is important to understand what happens to your breasts after breast augmentation. Breast implants are man-made devices that alter the shape of the breast permanently. Depending on your breast size and the size of the chosen implant, placement of an implant results in stretching the breast skin and tissue over the implant. This makes the breasts wider and thinner over time. If a large implant is used, often times, surgeons lower the inframammary crease to accommodate a larger implant. This displaces the footprint of the breast and makes the breast lower on the ribcage. Thus, the larger the implant, the lower and the wider the breast will become. #### BREASTS AFTER IMPLANTS Removal of breast implants may be combined with the capsule that surrounds the implant or without the capsule. If the implant and capsule are removed together, this is referred to as en bloc implant and capsule removal. For most patients, implants can be removed without excising the capsule. However, en bloc implant and capsule removal may be advised or necessary in capsular contracture and breast implant illness patients.Once your implants are removed with or without the capsule, you may be left with breasts that are: - **Deflated and Sagging** - **Wider than before implants** - **Lower on your chest than before** - **Thinned breast tissue that is now stretched out (pancake breasts)** - **Substantial skin excess** Hence, the **choice of your breast lift will dictate your ultimate results**. Though a breast lift can be performed through various techniques, different surgical methods do not render the same outcome. That’s why **we highly recommend the internal dermal-bra Breast Lift** (IDBBL) an innovative approach that was co-pioneered by Drs. Rubin and Agha in 2005. Since then, Dr. Agha has modified and enhanced this procedure for the past 20 years to offer not only superior breast lift outcomes but also **Breast Reshaping** and **Breast Restoration**. Dr. Agha has advanced this technique to control not only the shape of the breast, but also its height, width, projection, as well as the location of the breast and amount of cleavage. In addition, he has created advanced signature procedures to augment the breast size with neighboring tissues in addition to breast fat transfer. [Book a Consultation](#schedule-consult-footer-form) #### The Internal Dermal-Bra Breast Lift and Reshaping Today the internal dermal-bra breast lift is a three-dimensional technique that corrects the breasts’ width, height, and projection. Dr. Agha utilizes all of your remaining breast tissues to create: - Create projection - Create cleavage - Narrow a wider breast - Reshape to create a rounder breast It uses an **internal bra** that is created from your own **breast excess skin and multiple internal suturing** to the chest muscle to result in: • More long-lasting outcomes• Better healing because there’s no internal pressure on the incisions• No breast volume loss that’s usually associated with a standard breast lift It is the element of the 3rd dimension or projection that is often missing from other breast lift procedures and what makes this internal dermal-bra breast reshaping so unique and natural. [Watch this Instagram video to learn more](https://www.instagram.com/p/CqgBX1bD7qi/). [Book a Consultation](/consultation/) #### BREAST REPOSITIONING As mentioned above, to accommodate a larger breast implant, often times, the inframammary crease is released and the breast footprint is lowered. This results in breasts are on the lower third of the chest than the normal mid 3rd. To correct for this, Dr. Agha has developed breast repositioning techniques that relocates the breast back to its mid 3rd position via elevation and reconstruction of the inframammary crease at a higher position. This Breast Elevation technique repositions the breast footprint and elongates the height of the abdomen to create the ideal breast/abdominal proportion. The breasts are then lifted from this already elevated position giving you double correction. [Book a Consultation](#schedule-consult-footer-form) #### BREAST RESTORATION *Using your tissues or your own fat.* In addition to the IDBBL, Dr. Agha offers autologous breast augmentation. That means using your tissues as flaps or your own liposuctioned fat to augment your breasts after implant removal. When there is excess tissue around the breasts, Dr. Agha utilizes this excess tissue to augment the size of the breasts with. **Upper abdominal fat** can be added to the breasts through specialized combination of a reverse tummy tuck and inframammary fold reconstruction procedures. Not only the breasts are augmented but also the upper abdomen become tighter and firmer as a result. **Outer chest **fat can be added to the breasts through the specialized internal J-thoracoplasty procedure. In this manner, the outer chest is tightened, the breast is augmented, and the whole breast unit is made narrower and rounder. **Midback** fat can be added to the upper breasts via the Spiral flap (created by Drs. Hurwitz and Agha in 2007) combined with a bra-line upper body lift. The Spiral flap can offer a sizable amount of fat to be added to the breasts. All these techniques are permanent since the fat is brought to the breasts based on its blood supply. The beauty of Dr. Agha’s approach to Breast Restoration is that not only the breasts are made fuller with your own tissue, but also the surrounding chest and abdomen will be firmer and polished. **Outer chest **fat can be added to the breasts through the specialized internal J-thoracoplasty procedure.

It is important to remember that unlike a flap which can be largely permanent, about half of the injected fat will resorb or die after the transfer. These are highly specialized procedures that demand an experienced surgeon like Dr. Agha.

POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content #### Ideal Buttock Shape The ideal buttock shape has been defined by many painters, sculptors, and physicians in human history. Although we see a large cultural variation in what people find as beautiful butts, certain features of the back are universally agreed as aesthetically beautiful. These include: - A round or A-shaped buttocks - A pleasing V-shaped demarcation between the lower back and upper buttocks with minimal fat - No fat above the butt crack (a region normally known as sacrum which can accumulate fat) - Minimal fat of the lower back above the upper buttocks. This creates a beautiful curvature of the lower back known as lordosis - Tight perky buttocks with no sagging - Symmetry - Defined lower buttock crease (infragluteal crease) that separate the buttocks from the upper thighs on the back - Buttock cheeks that are equal in height and width Buttock shapes have been classified as round, A-shaped, boxy, or V-shaped. [View Gallery](/gallery/body/buttock-reshaping-after-weight-loss/) #### Buttocks After Massive Weight Loss Most individuals, whether men or women, develop buttock sagging and deflation with significant weight loss. In these patients, the buttocks lose volume, fullness, and shape and often sag as a unit. This means that not only the buttock skin droops but also the buttock crack moves lower. Often there is a roll of lower back tissue (known as the hip roll) that merges with the upper buttocks. Most weight loss patient still feel that they have a large buttocks, but in reality, this is due to the hip roll that makes the buttock area look longer and wider than it truly is. The hip roll is the excess, stubborn fat of the lower back and the love-handles that sweeps forward over the hips and merges with the lower abdominal pannus. It represents lower back excess skin and fat and deforms the buttocks shape. With deflation and sagging, the buttocks’ skin also often forms many dimples and cellulite. Buttocks lift procedures are performed for those patients who have buttocks sagging, excess buttocks skin, or buttocks dimples and cellulites. A buttocks lift surgery removes saggy skin of the upper buttocks together with that of the lower back hip roll. A buttocks lift always reduces the buttocks size and projection since part of the upper buttocks is excised to lift the buttocks to a higher position. So in essence, every buttocks lift surgery is buttocks elevation and reduction. The lift also flattens the buttocks shape and reduces buttocks projection. To prevent this, buttocks augmentation and reshaping is necessary in order to maintain the buttocks roundness or to even enhance the buttocks size. Hence, Dr. Agha performs a much more comprehensive buttocks lift procedure that the average butt lift. #### Buttock Augmentation and Lift For the majority of weight loss patients who present to us, the buttocks are loose and deflated. These patients will best benefit from a combination of buttocks lift, buttocks augmentation, and buttocks reshaping. Dr. Agha performs his own signature buttocks enhancement procedure that he has termed the high-definition buttocks lift. This procedure combines buttocks lift which reduces buttocks projection, with buttock augmentation to restore or even enhance buttocks projection, and change of the buttocks shape into a round buttocks. During the high-definition buttocks lift, Dr. Agha not only controls the buttocks height, the buttocks projection, but also the buttocks width. For those with wide buttocks and hips, Dr. Agha will narrow the buttocks width and hip circumference. Conversely for those with V-shaped buttocks, Dr. Agha again creates buttocks width at the time of the lift. The high-definition buttocks lift starts with a seagull incision at the demarcation between the future upper buttocks and lower back. The skin of the lower back and upper buttocks in between the 2 incisions of the buttock lift is then removed. The underlying fat is then developed as a fat pad (known as a flap in plastic surgery since its blood supply is preserved and thus all of the fat cells will continue to stay alive). Dr. Agha’ then creates appropriately sized pockets over the buttocks muscles and the fat pads are then rotated into these pockets and secured in position using dissolvable sutures. In this manner the lower back and upper buttocks fat (this is from the hip roll) is used to augment buttocks projection or perkiness. With this approach, Dr. Agha can add moderate or even significant amount of volume back to the buttocks to prevent buttock flattening and increase buttocks size. To reduce buttocks width, Dr. Agha places the fat pads centrally. To create lower and outer buttock fullness, Dr. Agha uses wider fat pads. Finally, the buttocks are lifted to their predetermined position on the lower back to close the seagull-shaped incision. Dr. Agha’s high-definition buttocks augmentation and lift is designed following the aesthetic principles of buttocks beauty. The procedure is planned with the intention of restoring fullness to the buttocks while creating an hour-glass figure for the female patient. Dr. Agha’s signature buttock reshaping procedure has several components: Dr. Agha accomplishes buttocks augmentation in 2 ways. 1) Upper buttocks fullness is achieved with the use of lower back fat that is prepared as fat pads and mobilized into pockets that are created over the buttocks muscles on each side. 2) Lower buttocks fullness is created by using liposuctioned fat. This fat can be harvested from many areas such as the waist, love-handles, back, thighs, lower abdominal pannus, etc. Buttock lift, augmentation, and reshaping typically takes about three hours of the lower body lift procedure. The high-definition buttocks lift and buttock reshaping is a rather complex surgery that truly requires enhanced training in Plastic Surgery. This procedure is most often done in conjunction with a lower body lift. #### Buttock Fat Transfer (Buttock Lipoaugmentation) In most of the weight loss patients that we see, patients still have a good amount of fat that can be liposuctioned and used for buttocks or breast fat transfer. This is because we specifically tell our patients to plan their surgery when they are 25 pounds above their desired final weight. Dr. Agha believes that a body lift is not just about lifting tissues but sculpting the body as well. Thus he prefers to start surgery when he can sculpt curves into the patient by liposuction, removing fat that can in turn be used for creating projection in the breasts or the butts. For virtually all of his patients, Dr. Agha augments the buttocks with lower back fat pads and then transfers additional fat into the buttocks to enhance shape and size. Buttock fat transfer, commonly known as a Brazilian butt lift, is not a true buttock lift procedure. It is a buttocks augmentation procedure that results in filling deflated or smaller buttocks with your own liposuctioned fat. The process lifts the buttocks by filling out the loose buttock tissue. A Brazilian butt lift is designed to fill the buttocks so that the final overall shape is a lifted and perkier contour. It involves harvesting your own body’s fat from the flanks, hips, back, thighs, or lower abdomen. Dr. Agha removes fat from selected areas of your body with very gentle liposuction to protect the living fat cells. The liposuctioned fat is then washed with antibiotic solution, processed, and carefully injected into the buttocks as small droplets or a micrograft. During this fat micrografting process, the buttocks can be contoured to the desired shape and size. The fullness and projection of the buttocks can be greatly increased by layering many fine layers of fat micrografts throughout the buttock fatty region. A Brazilian butt lift on its own is not an ideal buttock enhancement procedure in weight loss patients. This is because: - Success of the Brazilian butt lift is dependent on the amount of fat that can be liposuctioned. In weight loss patients, although there is usually lower back hip roll, upper back rolls, lower abdominal pannus, fuller flanks and thigh fat, not all the hanging tissue represent abundance of fat underneath. The hanging rolls and tissues are made up of fat and connective tissue matrix. In weight loss patients, the majority of the fat is gone, leaving behind a heavy background of mainly connective tissue matrix. Thus liposuction is more difficult and less fruitful in the weight loss patient. - Weight loss patients have lost a great amount of fat from their buttocks. Transferred fat cells require a rich environment of fat to survive in while the transferred cells develop their own blood supply. - Weight loss patients often lose additional weight with each surgery. Thus more of the transferred fat cells are lost in the post-operative period than the average non-weight loss patient. - Most weight loss patients should not have liposuction on its own. Liposuction removes fat from hanging tissues and stubborn areas and results in additional skin looseness and laxity. This is because the weight loss skin does not have the necessary elasticity to contract and shrink after liposuction. In our practice, Dr. Agha uses liposuction with all of his body contouring procedures. However liposuction and skin excision are performed hand in hand during the same surgery. Often, Dr. Agha liposuctions the patient to harvest fat and to sculpt curves, uses the fat for buttock enhancement and reshaping, and immediately removes the loose and excess skin. Thus body sculpting and body contouring are performed simultaneously. It is important to appreciate that the liposuctioned fat is used in conjunction with lower back fat pads in Dr. Agha’s practice. Because the areas receiving liposuction are now leaner, sculpted, and tighter, the rounder, fuller buttocks will become the beautiful highlight of your sensuous new shape. #### Buttocks Reduction/Lift with Reshaping Most weight loss patients will have significant deflation and sagging of their buttocks. But occasionally the buttocks still have a descent amount of buttocks volume despite sagging. In these cases, the patient may not need additional augmentation and may only desire tightening of the buttocks’ skin through a buttocks lift surgery. A buttocks lift will always: - Reduce the buttocks volume by removing upper buttocks tissue - Reduce the buttocks projection by moving the buttocks tissue higher. This flattens the buttocks. Like all buttocks surgeries, a buttocks reduction and lift truly requires a very customized strategy. During this procedure, Dr. Agha removes the excess skin and tissue of the upper buttock region and lower back. He will then lift the buttock tissue to a predetermined position on your lower back and will reconstruct the V-shaped depression between the buttocks and the back that is a recognized aesthetic feature. Although, some patients wish to have smaller buttocks, neither male or female patients wish to have flat buttocks. In these patients who want smaller buttocks, Dr. Agha often performs buttock fat transfer (Brazilian buttock lift) to the center of the buttock cheeks to restore roundness and shape to the flattened buttocks. This requires a surgeon who has an excellent knowledge of body proportions, an artistic eye, and a keen three-dimensional sense. #### Buttock Implants in Massive Weight Loss Patients In our practice, most of the post-bariatric patients do not want to have buttock implants. Furthermore with all the available techniques and possibilities, we have never had to use buttock implants in conjunction with a primary lower body lift. However, if a patient has no fat and implants are needed, Dr. Agha will be more than happy to use buttock implants for buttocks enhancement. To learn more, visit our buttocks implant page. #### Dr. Agha’s Experience Matters Buttock enhancement is often the most challenging part of a total body transformation. Most patients have significant deflation, distortion, and asymmetry of this region. Furthermore, no two patients have the same butt. Thus, for every patient, a customized plan has to be established during the consultation procedure. Rest assured Dr. Agha is an expert at this. Over the course of hundreds of buttock lifts, Dr. Agha has established the following priorities: - A beautiful butt may need more than one surgical approach. Hence, Dr. Agha often performs buttocks enhancement with lower back fat pads as well as Brazilian butt lift in every patient - Rome was not built overnight and neither your butts will be. Dr. Agha usually start a full body transformation with a lower body lift and buttocks enhancement. During this first stage, he will do buttocks lift and enhancement. However, he is always planning to revisit this area if more shaping and enhancement is needed. This can often be done easily during future surgeries when liposuctioned fat from the upper body or thighs can be transferred to make the buttocks perkier or more even. - Dr. Agha prefers to start a total body transformation when the patient is about 25 pounds above the weight that they wish to end up at. This is because a total body lift will in most cases result in 20 pounds of weight removal. Furthermore, excess weight is needed so that the patient can be sculpted with liposuction and the fat can be used for buttocks enhancement. - Knowing where to place the butt scar requires planning and experience. The butt scar should end up as a nice v-shaped curve, demarcating the lower back and the upper buttocks. If the scar is placed higher on the back, the buttocks will be elongated rather then round. If the scar is too low on the buttocks, the butt will appear too short. Thus precise positioning of the scar is paramount to a great result. Also, many surgeons make their butt scars straight along the back. This invalidates buttocks beauty by making butts square and unnatural. Look at our gallery to see how perfectly each buttock scar is placed correctly to achieve round and natural looking buttocks. - Sometimes buttocks are V-shaped and require reshaping to become rounder or A-shaped. Here Dr. Agha rotates the buttock tissue out to create width while he enhances projection of the central and lower buttock cheeks. - Sometimes buttocks are too wide and need to be narrowed. In these case, Dr. Agha rotates buttock cheeks inwards to reduce the buttocks and hip width. #### Buttock Lift Redo Every year, Dr. Agha performs about 5 or more body lift redos. These are surgeries that have been done by other plastic surgeons. Often the buttocks were not enhanced or reshaped. Patients also always want a revision of the butt scar which may be too low on their butt, or too high on their back, or uneven or straight. Although buttock reshaping and enhancement can be easily done with buttocks fat transfer (as long as there is fat), buttock scar revision is not always so easy. If the buttock scar is low, correction of scar position will result in further flattening of the buttocks. If the buttock scar is too high on the lower back, then it can not be lowered for more than an inch since the lower back skin is very adherent and does not move easily. --- ## BUTTOCK ENHANCEMENT **Link:** [BUTTOCK ENHANCEMENT](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/buttock-enhancement-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/buttock-enhancement-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Buttock enhancement surgery can provide the backside contour you've been dreaming for. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Gone are the days when bust size seemed to be the primary beauty ideal for women. These days, butt size matters, too. Some like it big and bubbly, complementing an hourglass-shaped figure like Sofia Vergara and Nicki Minaj. Others would like it toned down a bit to match their lean physiques, like Megan Fox and Cameron Diaz. When it comes to butt aesthetics, it’s not always the bigger, the better. It all depends on your whole back aesthetics, as your butt is only one feature. The overall appearance of your buttocks depends on how smooth and sculpted the back, the waist, the butt, and the thighs look. With buttock enhancement procedures, you have the option of modifying your backside depending on your anatomy and preferences. You can request for a bigger and tighter booty using buttock implants and [Brazilian butt lift](/brazilian-butt-lift-newport-beach/), or you can ask for a smaller but taut bottom by getting a butt lift with reduction. [.divider-lines]Dr. Siamak Agha, one of SoCal’s top board-certified plastic surgeons, specializes in buttock enhancement and reshaping procedures for the past 18 years.[] He has continually accommodated a wide range of requests for beautifying the buttocks and improving the appearance of the surrounding areas, leading him to offer various buttock enhancement surgeries to his patients. Get to know more about your buttock enhancement options as you read the rest of this article. [View Gallery](/gallery/body/buttock-implants-before-and-after-photos/) #### What Determines Buttock Size and Shape? Before diving into the different buttock enhancement procedures, it is important to understand first the certain features that define an aesthetically beautiful pair of buttocks and how it complements your figure. The shape of your buttocks is influenced by a number of factors, such as genetics, race, gender, aging, and weight. Some people have small or large buttocks that are genetically coded. For others, the buttock shape and size may reflect their racial background. Aging results in a mild degree of fat loss with skin and connective tissue laxity, making the buttocks loose and saggy. Similarly, after pregnancy, many women experience fat loss from their buttocks, while others may notice larger buttocks. Weight can also influence and affect the volume and shape of your bum and its surrounding anatomy. Weight gain can result in buttock enlargement, while massive weight loss patients experience a significant deflation of the buttock region and the rest of their body. The deflated buttocks appear loose and saggy, coupled with significant skin and soft tissue excess on the lower back. Apart from buttock size, buttock shape is also influenced by the aforementioned factors. Plastic surgeons have classified buttocks into four shapes: boxy-type, A-type, V-type, and circular-type. My results from my butt lift revision, body contouring, and posterior thigh lipo are AMAZING!!! Not only did Dr. Agha give me back my butt crack, he also made me look like a better version of myself. **Shiala J.** #### What Should You Expect from Your Initial Buttock Enhancement Consultation with Dr. Agha? Expect Dr. Agha to ask you about the following during your initial consultation: - General health status - Pre-existing health conditions, especially heart disease, diabetes, thromboembolic disease, connective tissue disorders, and wound healing problems - Prior surgeries - Medications currently being taken, including vitamins, diet pills, and herbal supplements - Allergies - Smoking habits and alcohol use - Pregnancy - History of weight gain and loss - Psychological issues Make sure that you provide thorough answers to the requested information, as your answers can affect your recovery and healing following the procedure. Doing so also helps Dr. Agha craft a preventative care plan tailor-fit to your needs to prevent any complications during your surgery. Dr. Agha will examine you and assess your lower body contour. Some of the factors he will take into account include: - Buttock shape - Buttock size (volume surplus or deficiency) - Contour (tissue distribution within the buttocks) - Laxity and sagging - Skin quality - Presence of dimples Aside from these, Dr. Agha will also evaluate the structures surrounding your buttocks, such as your flanks, thighs, and saddlebags. These areas have a huge effect on the aesthetic features of your buttocks. For example, having excessively heavy back and flank regions can camouflage the V-shaped demarcation between your bum and back, masking your butt’s projection. Dr. Agha will also tackle your concerns, priorities, and motivations for pursuing buttock enhancement surgery. He will also discuss your options, then create an appropriate plan of action that best suits your anatomy and meets your desires and expectations. Other things that will be discussed with you include potential risks and complications, estimated cost, and procedure schedule. You will also be asked to obtain specific lab tests and a medical evaluation. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Agha will mark certain landmarks on your back, buttocks, flanks, and thighs to ensure proper surgical planning. #### What Types of Buttocks Enhancement Procedures *are Offered by Dr. Agha?* Whether your goal is to correct the lack of your butt projection, lift your buttocks after weight loss, or simply reshape or reduce your buttocks, you have several choices. Buttock enhancement procedures can be classified into three general types. Here is a quick overview of these surgeries, as well as the procedures falling under them: #### Buttock Augmentation Procedures *Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)* Also known as buttock lipoaugmentation or buttock fat transfer, Brazilian butt lift or BBL is a method of increasing your butt size using your autologous or own fat cells. This is the more commonly requested buttock augmentation procedure by most of Dr. Agha’s patients. It is often the method of choice for people who have excess fat in other unwanted areas of their body and want to transfer them into their butt cheeks. BBL involves harvesting your fat via liposuction from various parts of your body, like your flanks, hips, lower back, thighs, or abdomen. The fat is then processed and injected into your buttocks through minute incisions. Doing so fills your buttock tissue, resulting in a lifted and rounder backside. And because the areas receiving liposuction are now leaner and sculpted, your round and full buttocks will become the beautiful highlight of your sensuous new shape. With Dr. Agha’s meticulous fat processing and micrografting principles, you can get predictable results for your BBL. His method achieves one of the highest fat survivals with about 80% of the injected fat becoming permanent Though it takes significantly longer to perform than butt implant placement, BBL produces superior, natural-looking, and permanent results customized according to your desired buttock shape. But take note that BBL is not for everyone. Before you can get this surgery, you must have enough fat in other areas of your body to serve as a fat source. You should also have enough fat in your buttocks to serve as a foundation for the grafted fat to grow into. [For a more in-depth look at BBL, go to the Brazilian butt lift main page](/brazilian-butt-lift-newport-beach/). #### Buttock Implants If you have minimal body fat and desire a significant volume increase in your booty, you are better off getting [butt implants](/buttock-implants-newport-beach/). The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of solid and semi-solid silicone implants for buttock augmentation surgery. Compared to breast implants, butt implants are much stronger and more durable because of their solid core, despite being soft and flexible. Dr. Agha will help you select the size and shape of buttock implants to use depending on your figure and preferences. Though the use of butt implants is safe, it is riskier compared to BBL because an artificial silicone implant does not incorporate into your normal tissues the way your own fat cells do. Plus, buttock implants do not feel as natural as your own fat. It also has longer recovery time and more discomfort compared to BBL. [Read more about butt implants in the buttock implant main page.](/buttock-implants-newport-beach/) #### Buttock Lift Procedures Some people are already satisfied with the size of their booties, but they still want to make their butt skin smoother by getting rid of sagging skin and unsightly cellulite. For these concerns, butt lift procedures are the best solutions. They involve the removal of excess skin on your upper buttocks and lower back, lifting your butt and correcting its droopiness. You can have a butt lift surgery on its own, but you also have the option of pairing it with a reduction or augmentation procedure. #### Butt Lift with Augmentation A buttock lift alone will not add any volume to your buttocks, but combining it with augmentation helps alter the shape and size of your buttocks. Butt lift with augmentation increases your buttock projection with the use of your lower back fat while tightening the butt skin. To do the buttock augmentation paired with a butt lift, Dr. Agha creates parallel curved incisions over the lower back and upper buttocks. The fat in between is then developed as a flap on each side. A flap is any tissue that has its own blood vessels.He then creates a pocket over the butt muscle on each side, rotates the lower back flaps into buttock pockets, and secures them in position using sutures. Dr. Agha then elevates the buttocks over the flaps to meet the lower back incision.As a master surgeon who has done hundreds of butt lift and augmentation surgeries, Dr. Agha places his butt lift incision at the junction of the new lower back and the buttocks. Learn more about butt lift with augmentation in this article. #### Butt Lift with Reduction Butt lift with reduction is the removal of excess skin and fat from the buttocks and lower back, thus reducing the size and shape of your booty. The procedure involves lifting the buttocks higher and correcting sagging while reducing its overall size. Just like the buttock augmentation with lift, buttock reduction with lift involves the creation of parallel curved incisions over the lower back and upper butt. This time, the skin and fat between the two incisions are excised, and the buttocks are elevated to a new position. You’ll know that it’s performed correctly when the final incision lies at the junction of the new lower back and the buttocks. Learn more about butt lift with reduction in this article. Dr. Agha reshaped my body. I get compliments ALL the time because my butt is perky and round, but not over the top. I expected to have a nice butt after the procedure, but I didn’t realize how good he made the rest of my body look. -**GD** #### The Back View Procedures If you already have a nicely shaped derriere but would want to accentuate it further, liposculpture of the excess fat from your back, love handles, and saddlebags can help underscore your beautiful buttocks. In this procedure, the buttocks are not operated on per se. It is the surrounding structures that influence the silhouette of the buttocks that are sculpted based on Dr. Agha’s years of experience. Dr. Agha will perform liposculpture of the lower back to accentuate the V-shaped demarcation of the back and backside. Lower back dimples can be formed if desired. Excess prominence of the flanks and saddlebags can then be liposuctioned to obtain a smooth hourglass contour. #### Get Your Buttock Enhancement *in Newport Beach, Orange County* Now that you have an understanding of the various buttock enhancement procedures at your disposal, it is easier for you to make an informed decision on which surgery will make your booty pop out the most. But one of the most crucial factors that you should consider is your choice of plastic surgeon. Make sure that you select a board-certified plastic surgeon with excellent training and years of experience doing buttock enhancement surgeries, just like Dr. Agha of The One Plastic Surgery Center. --- ## BUTTOCK IMPLANTS **Link:** [BUTTOCK IMPLANTS](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/buttock-implants-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/buttock-implants-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Buttock augmentation can be done with implants. Buttock implants are a natural-looking alternative for fat grafting procedures. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content The era of the big booty is upon us. Thanks to celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez, the big booty movement soared in popularity over the past decade, quickly becoming the ideal backside for countless women all over the world. But while having firm, round buttocks symbolize femininity and sensuality, the picture won’t be as aesthetically pleasing if your curves aren’t placed in the right places. The ideal buttock shape has certain features that have been well established. These are round or A-shaped buttocks on a backside that has no love handles, no lower back fat excess, and no saddlebags. Think about it this way: Your buttocks are the lovely image in the center of a picture frame. No matter how beautiful the photo is, the overall look will be sullied if the surrounding frame is plain and unappealing. A pleasing pair of buttocks is just one part of your whole back aesthetics. The area around it should also be smooth and sculpted to remove love handles, saddlebags, and back fat, thus creating an hourglass silhouette that will perfectly complement your rounded buttocks. The best way to achieve that is through the [Brazilian butt lift](/brazilian-butt-lift-newport-beach/), which involves augmenting the buttocks with your own liposuctioned fat from surrounding areas. But what if you don’t have enough fat? Not to worry because you can get a buttock implant surgery courtesy of one of SoCal’s top board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Siamak Agha of The One Plastic Surgery Center.

Buttocks implants are a popular butt augmentation procedure that enhances the shape, size, and appearance of your buttocks. The procedure involves insertion of semi-solid silicone implants into your backside to achieve larger buttocks and a more proportionate figure. Suitable for men and women alike, butt implants are commonly offered to patients who want to achieve buttock augmentation, but are not suitable candidates for a Brazilian butt lift because: - They don’t have enough fat - They have loose skin on their body, which might get looser due to liposuction - They recently lost a massive amount of weight and are already experiencing buttock sagging If you fall into any of these three categories but you still want to have a nice pair of booties, then you might want to consider getting buttock implants or [butt lift surgery](/buttock-enhancement-newport-beach/#butt-enhancement-section-6) instead. #### Buttock Implants vs. Brazilian Butt Lift: *What’s the Difference?* But before you make a decision, it is important to know the difference between these two buttock augmentation procedures. While buttock implants require insertion of silicone butt implants into your backside, the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) involves removing fat from fat-rich areas of your body through [liposuction](/liposuction-newport-beach/), and then transferring it to your buttocks to add volume and enhance contours. But not everyone will have enough available fat that can be transferred to the buttocks. Thus, if you have minimal or no fat, you may still achieve a periker, rounder bottom with the use of butt implants. Furthermore, since buttocks implants are made from semi-solid silicone, the results of buttock implants are permanent, with no size change with weight gain or loss. article. On the other hand, about 20% of the transferred fat resorbs soon after a BBL. Future weight loss and gains also affect your buttock size proportionally as it would naturally. Still, one major advantage of BBL over buttock implants is the fact that the results look and feel more natural. That is the reason why it is crucial to get the correct implant shape, size, and placement with the help of a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Agha. You also have the option to combine these two procedures to produce a more dramatic result.

Buttocks implants are slightly firmer than breast implants, though they are still soft and flexible. They mimic the shape and feel of a strong and shapely backside. They also come in smooth and textured varieties. But unlike breast implants, butt implants are semi-solid, so they do not run the risk of leaking. You can also choose from different sizes, although Dr. Agha will recommend the most flattering size for your frame that meets your desires and preferences. #### Examples of Buttocks Implants Dr. Agha uses the following buttock implants for his patients: #### What Should You Expect from Your Initial Buttock Implant Consultation with Dr. Agha? During the consultation, Dr. Agha will walk you through the entire procedure, from preparation to recovery, so that you know exactly what to expect. He also conducts a physical exam and takes measurements of the length and width of the muscles. The density of your muscles will also help in deciding which type of implant you should get.

You can get buttocks implants as an outpatient procedure in an ambulatory surgical facility. The procedure takes between two and three hours on average. Here is an explanation of how Dr. Agha performs buttock augmentation surgery using buttock implants. #### How Do You Recover from Getting Buttock Implants? **Please read **[**General Instruction Sheet**](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-body/)** as well. ** **If you are having buttocks implants, then you will have a 2-3 inch incision in between your buttocks cheeks. ** When you get buttock implants, you should prepare yourself for several weeks of downtime. Compared to cosmetic surgeries in other body parts, buttock surgery may feel more painful because your butt is used for daily physical activities like standing and walking. Pain and soreness are expected within the first few days post-op, but these can be managed by pain medications. Make sure to keep the incision site super clean. Always wipe yourself away from the incision (top to bottom). You’ll also have some bruising and swelling not just on your backside, but also on your thigh areas. It will begin to subside after a week or so. **Garment-** Following buttocks implants, you are placed in a support garment. You should plan to wear the compression garment 24 hours a day for 4-6 weeks following surgery. This will help to reduce bruising and swelling as well as skin retraction and helps to shape of the buttocks. **Rest and Sleep-** For the first two weeks after surgery you should try to sleep on your stomach and/or side. This ensures that the tension on your incision line is minimized, and the pressure on the implant is reduced. During this time, you should avoid putting direct pressure on your buttock for more than a few minutes at a time. If you have to sit, use a very soft donut cushion placed beneath your hamstring muscles but not touching your buttocks. You should not put direct pressure on your operative site for at least 6 weeks. From week three until six you should also sit on cushions when sitting for prolonged periods. Mild discomfort and tightness in the buttocks are common for the first 72 to 96 hours with most buttock enhancement procedures. After the fourth or fifth day, the tightness will begin to subside, and the pain improves significantly. **Lotions:** After a few days, apply Vaseline or heavy lotion all over the buttock skin to moisturize the expanding skin. **Dressing change for Buttocks Implants. **The inner buttock incisions for implant placement need daily care to keep them clean and dry until healed. Also, with buttock implants, you need to meticulously clean your incision with Dakins solution daily and after each bowl movement for the first two weeks after surgery. **Drains**: You will have a drain after buttock implant placement. The drain is your friend and is expediting healing from inside. Drains will be removed once fluid leakage becomes minimal in 24 hours. **Showering-** You may **NOT** shower till cleared by Dr. Agha and till your drain is removed. The first time that you remove your garment you will feel faint, which is normal. Have someone with you at that time, especially if you plan to take a warm shower. **Activities-** You should be able to resume your normal daily activities within 14-21 days after a buttock implant placement. During this time, you can start gentle walking. You can do upper body exercising after two weeks. Most patients return to work within 3 weeks after buttock implant placement. Avoid exercises which directly stress the area of your surgery for six weeks. This could cause wound dehiscence or opening of the suture line or widening of the scar. Even though the skin is closed, there is much needed healing beneath the skin. After this period, cardiovascular activities, such as riding a stationary bicycle or brisk walking, can be initiated. Avoid heavy lift, contact sports, and jogging for up to 8 weeks. **Sexual Activity-** With buttock implant placement, you should avoid having strenuous sex for about six weeks after surgery. It may take three to six months to finally see the results of your surgery without it being obscured by swelling. That is why you are only advised to shop for your new clothes after three months. #### Get Your Buttock Implants *in Newport Beach, Orange County* Whether you want to attain a bubble butt like Nikki Minaj or a derriere like Rihanna, choosing a plastic surgeon is of utmost importance.

Calf reduction augments the lower leg. POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content #### Calf reduction after weight loss Following massive weight loss or bariatric surgery, some patients experience persistent looseness and sagging of the calf skin that does not improve with exercise or time. While many areas of the body are addressed during a total body lift, the calves are often overlooked, leaving a small but meaningful group of patients dissatisfied with the appearance and contour of their lower legs. For patients troubled by excess calf skin after weight loss, Dr. Agha has pioneered an advanced calf reduction technique specifically designed for post–bariatric patients. [.divider-lines] This procedure focuses on removing redundant skin while maintaining the natural shape and function of the lower leg. The incision is strategically placed along the inner aspect of the calf, where it remains discreet and well concealed—similar in placement and philosophy to the incision used in a vertical thighplasty. [] The goal of calf reduction surgery is to restore a firmer, smoother, and more proportionate calf contour that complements the results of prior body contouring procedures. This surgery may be performed as a standalone procedure or incorporated into a comprehensive post–weight loss surgical plan, depending on the patient’s individual needs and goals. --- ## Can a Breast Lift Restore Shape After Pregnancy? **Link:** [Can a Breast Lift Restore Shape After Pregnancy?](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/can-a-breast-lift-restore-shape-after-pregnancy/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/can-a-breast-lift-restore-shape-after-pregnancy/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how a breast lift can restore breast shape after pregnancy, including candidacy, results, and long-term expectations. ### Content --- ## Can a Mommy Makeover Address Multiple Concerns at Once? **Link:** [Can a Mommy Makeover Address Multiple Concerns at Once?](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/can-a-mommy-makeover-address-multiple-concerns-at-once/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/can-a-mommy-makeover-address-multiple-concerns-at-once/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how a Mommy Makeover can address multiple concerns at once, including abdominal contour, breast changes, and stubborn fat. ### Content --- ## Can Breast Augmentation Correct Asymmetry? **Link:** [Can Breast Augmentation Correct Asymmetry?](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/can-breast-augmentation-correct-asymmetry/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/can-breast-augmentation-correct-asymmetry/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how breast augmentation can correct asymmetry, when implants are effective, and when additional techniques are needed. ### Content --- ## CHEEK AUGMENTATION **Link:** [CHEEK AUGMENTATION](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/cheek-augmentation-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/cheek-augmentation-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Cheek augmentation surgery provides facial balance and enhance the cheeks. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Your facial features speak volumes about your personality. Large eyes translate to attractiveness. A broad smile makes you look approachable. And high, prominent cheekbones reflect trustworthiness and strength of character — precisely the reason why a lot of women go to great lengths trying to achieve dramatic cheekbones using a variety of contours, blushes, and highlighters. The obsession with highly defined cheekbones goes way back to the era of black and white films, with classic beauties like Katharine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall gracing the silver screen. Their delicately chiseled features gave them a regal aura, so it did not take long before high cheekbones became the beauty ideal. After all, nothing gives your face an instant aura of sophistication and elegance more than a pair of plump, high, and chiseled cheeks. As part of your overall facial structure, your cheeks create a delicate balance on your face. The fullness of this area is associated with youth and beauty. Unfortunately, not all people are blessed with high and prominent cheekbones, bringing about a flat-looking face. It can even make your nose and chin look larger than they actually are so that the lower half of your face looks heavy and aged. [.divider-lines]But with a Newport Beach cheek augmentation expertly done by Dr. Siamak Agha of The One Plastic Surgery Center, you can restore the definitions and proportions of your face and achieve the youthful, sculpted cheekbones that you desire.[] Continue reading this article to learn more about cheek augmentation surgery. #### What is Cheek Augmentation? Not everyone is blessed with high cheekbones or plump cheeks. In some people, the midface and cheekbones can be somewhat flat, resulting in hollow or board cheeks with little to no definition. Furthermore, as you get older, the cheek fat pads tend to lose a tiny amount of fat every year, resulting in loss of cheek fullness. On top of that, cheek fat pads gradually descend and sag, causing heaviness around the nasolabial folds and jawline. Facial CT scans also reveal that the cheekbones recede slightly every year. Cheek augmentation — also known as cheek enhancement surgery — helps add volume and lift to your cheeks. It’s perfect for strengthening a weak cheek structure, giving more body to a narrow or flat face. It can also make your face look more symmetrical. The surgery is an effective anti-aging procedure for people who have lost the contours and definition that their cheeks had when they were younger. In fact, data from the [2018 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/documents/News/Statistics/2018/plastic-surgery-statistics-full-report-2018.pdf) by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show that 70% of those who got cheek augmentation in 2018 are aged 40 and above. Its simplicity and relatively low cost make it an attractive option for people who want to retain their youthful glow. #### What are the Different Cheek Augmentation Techniques Offered by Dr. Agha? You can choose from a variety of cheek augmentation techniques, depending on your goals and expectations. The most popular technique is the insertion of cheek implants, but you can also choose to get fat transfer, injectable fillers, or cheek lift. Dr. Agha isn’t just a plastic surgeon; he’s a sculptor with the eye of an artist and the ability to create beauty in human form. -Valerie G. #### How Does Dr. Agha Do Cheek Augmentation?​ During the consultation, expect to be asked about your detailed medical history to see if you’re fit for surgery. You’ll also be asked to undergo a physical exam. Cheek enhancement surgery can be performed in an ambulatory surgical facility or in an in-office procedure room. Most of the time, it’s done on an outpatient basis. #### How Do You Recover from Cheek Surgery? Read the [general information on recovery after facial surgery](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-face/). - Augmentation with Implants - Buccal Fat Removal Like all other cosmetic surgeries, you’ll have some discomfort initially, which can be easily managed by the oral pain medications prescribed by Dr. Agha. Bruising and swelling will be present in the first week, but they will eventually subside as time goes by. If there’s still some residual bruising, you can usually hide it with cosmetics until it completely fades. As for the swelling, an elastic bandage or compression garment may help minimize it and support your cheeks as they heal. Most of the time, the incisions are done inside the mouth, so there’s no visible scarring. Thus, Dr. Agha may place you on a liquid diet and give you special mouth rinses. You also have to be careful in brushing your teeth so as not to disrupt the gum line until your stitches heal or dissolve. You may also experience facial numbness and lack of sensitivity for up to three months as your nerve endings heal. Here’s an estimated recovery timeline after your cheek augmentation. #### What Results Can You Expect from Cheek Augmentation? Results vary depending on which cheek augmentation technique was performed on you. In general, cheek implant results are more structured, while cheek lift and fat transfer results are more natural. Fat transfer results depend on how much fat was injected into your cheeks, as well as how much of those were retained by your body. Cheek implant results are usually permanent depending on the material used. But regardless of the technique used, you can expect to see: - High and more pronounced cheeks - Cheeks with more body, contour, and definition - Fuller and softer cheeks - A symmetrical face - A more youthful-looking face - A boost in self-confidence and self-esteem #### Cheek Augmentation Lift *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Cheek Augmentation Done in Newport Beach, Orange County Cheek augmentation can give you a more sophisticated and youthful look, but the results largely depend on the skills of your chosen plastic surgeon. **Make sure to choose a board-certified, experienced, and highly-trained plastic surgeon like Dr. Agha from The One Plastic Surgery Center.** --- ## Cheek Augmentation vs. Fillers: Which Lasts Longer? **Link:** [Cheek Augmentation vs. Fillers: Which Lasts Longer?](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/cheek-augmentation-vs-fillers-which-lasts-longer/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/cheek-augmentation-vs-fillers-which-lasts-longer/index.html.md)) **Description:** Cheek augmentation vs. fillers: comparing longevity, cost over time, and recovery to help you decide which cheek enhancement option fits you. ### Content --- ## Chemical Peels **Link:** [Chemical Peels](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/chemical-peels-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/chemical-peels-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Chemical peels effectively resurface the skin revealing a youthful and fresh complexion.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Uncover Your Glowing Skin *Underneath the Damage* If you’re born with clear, normal skin, you’re one of the lucky few. Indeed, getting clear skin is an everyday challenge preventing many people from enjoying youthful, healthy, and glowing skin. And while there are many cosmetic products in the market promising to be the best skin care solution for clear and radiant skin, not all of them work for various skin types and situations. If you’ve been looking for ways to give your damaged skin a new lease on life, then getting a chemical peel might be the solution you’re looking for. Chemical peels treat skin damage brought about by sun exposure, acne, clogged pores, and scarring. It can also combat signs of aging that leave your skin with fine lines, uneven skin tone, and a dull complexion. Keep reading to learn more about what chemical peels are, what they do for your skin, and how we can offer you the best deals in Southern California. #### What are Chemical Peels? A chemical peel is a procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and peel off its top layers. Doing so removes damaged skin cells, revealing healthier and smoother skin underneath. Chemical peels can be applied to the face, hands, and neck to treat wrinkles, discolored skin, and scars. They can be performed alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedures done at different depths, from light to deep. You may need to undergo the procedure more than once to get the desired results with a light or medium peel. But with deeper chemical peels, it may take longer for you to recover because they usually offer more dramatic results. #### What are the Types of Chemical Peels You Can Get? There are three types of chemical peels based on how deeply they exfoliate your skin: #### Should You Get a Chemical Peel? If you’re a person suffering from the following skin conditions, then you might want to consider getting a chemical peel: - wrinkles and fine lines - actinic keratosis (rough, scaly skin patches due to sun damage) - acne marks - sunspots and age spots - freckles - hyperpigmentation - scars - melasma (brown or gray patches on the skin) - uneven skin tone or redness However, you should avoid getting chemical peels if you: - have taken the oral acne medication isotretinoin in the past six months - have a personal or family history of keloids — ridged areas caused by an overgrowth of scar tissue - are pregnant or trying to get pregnant - have frequent or severe outbreaks of cold sores Keep in mind that sagging skin, bulges, and deeper wrinkles do not respond well to chemical peels. If these are your problems, you may need other kinds of cosmetic procedures, such as laser resurfacing and filler injections. You may also go for plastic surgeries like [facelift](/facelift-newport-beach/), [brow lift](/forehead-and-brow-lift-newport-beach/), or [eyelid lift](/eyelid-surgery-newport-beach/). #### How Are Chemical Peels Done?

CHEST LAXITY AFTER MASSIVE WEIGHT LOSS ### Content The chest refers to the area that covers the rib cage in the front. It typically spans from the collar bones (clavicles) all the way to the 12th rib and is separated in the midline by the breast bone (sternum) to left and right chest. The chest area can be arbitrarily broken down to the breast area, upper chest above the breast, lower chest below the mammary crease and the outer chest on the sides. Following weight loss, the fatty layer under the skin as well as the fat within the breast undergo shrinkage. This results in redundancy of the chest skin as well as breast skin envelope. Redundant excess chest skin is seen as horizontal and vertical laxity. Horizontal chest laxity causes skin and tissue excess under the armpits and over the outer chest. Vertical chest laxity affects mainly the breasts, causing breast sagging in both men and women. However, when the degree of weight loss is significant, vertical chest laxity presents itself as breast mound descent on the rib cage and loose mammary crease attachments.The loose tissue may also create a fold under the breast and over the upper abdomen. This tissue roll typically stretches towards the back and join the upper/ midback rolls. This is particularly common in V-shaped body structures where the upper body is larger than the lower body. In both men and women, breast deflation and sagging (breast ptosis) develops. These are classified according to the degree of severity in both genders. #### Grades of Breast Sagging in Females In women, there are 3 grades of breast ptosis, dependent on the severity of breast sagging. [To learn more, please visit our breast enhancement page.](/breast-enhancement-post-bariatric/) - **Grade 1** – characterized by mild sagging as the nipple lies at the level of the inframammary fold and the parenchyma below it - **Grade 2** – characterized by moderate sagging as the nipple lies below the level of the inframammary fold but above the lowest hanging part of the parenchyma - **Grade 3** – characterized by severe sagging as the nipple lies way below the level of the inframammary fold at the lowest hanging part of the parenchyma #### Types of Gynecomastia in Males Similarly in men, there are 4 types of gynecomastia. These are summarized in the table below. Weight loss patient’s typically present with grade 3 breast ptosis in women and type 4 gynecomastia in men. The problem with the gynecomastia classification is that it focuses on the breast only and does not consider the rest of the chest. That is why Dr. Agha designed his own chest deformity classification that focuses on the whole chest as an aesthetic unit. It also puts the spotlight on the two elements that need to be addressed in chest enhancement surgery: excess skin and excess fat or breast tissue. #### Dr. Agha’s Chest Deformity Classification: #### Correction of Chest Laxity And Breast Sagging Most weight loss patient’s typically present with Agha’s Chest Laxity Classification type 4 or 5. That means in addition to breast sagging (in both men and women), they also have outer chest and lower chest tissue excess. To tackle these changes, a number of procedures have been described by Dr. Agha and other plastic surgeons. In men with gynecomastia (excess breast gland), a horizontally-oriented elliptical excision of excess breast can lift the nipple areola on the chest while removing the excess breast tissue. Alternatively, the patient may end up with a curved incision at the breast crease, an anchor-type incision, or a horizontal incision on each side of the nipple areola. To learn more, please read our [gynecomastia section](/gynecomastia-surgery-newport-beach/). In women with breast sagging, in most cases, an anchor-type incision is needed to remove enough skin to lift the breasts and to make them rounder. This can be combined with breast implants, breast reduction, or neither. To learn more, please read our breast surgery section. For lower chest excess below the breasts as a roll of redundant loose skin, a reverse tummy tuck can be combined with the elliptical or anchor-type incisions excision to remove the additional skin laxity and to produce a smooth and tight chest contour. For excess outer chest skin, a vertically-oriented elliptical excision below the armpit, removes excess outer chest skin. This procedure was pioneered and named the J-upper body lift by Drs. Agha and Hurwitz. #### Dr. Agha’s Male Chest Deformity Classification and Approach to Chest Enhancement --- ## Chin Augmentation 101: Am I a Candidate? **Link:** [Chin Augmentation 101: Am I a Candidate?](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/chin-augmentation-101-am-i-a-candidate/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/chin-augmentation-101-am-i-a-candidate/index.html.md)) **Description:** Chin augmentation 101: who's a good candidate for chin implant surgery, how it improves facial balance, and what the procedure involves. ### Content --- ## Chin Augmentation and Jawline Contouring: A Newport Beach Guide **Link:** [Chin Augmentation and Jawline Contouring: A Newport Beach Guide](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/chin-augmentation-jawline-contouring-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/chin-augmentation-jawline-contouring-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Chin augmentation and jawline contouring: a Newport Beach guide to how these procedures work together for a defined, balanced lower face. ### Content --- ## CHIN AUGMENTATION **Link:** [CHIN AUGMENTATION](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/chin-augmentation-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/chin-augmentation-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Chin augmentation surgery can address facial asymmetry to balance the facial profile. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Your chin may be overshadowed by your other facial features, but its appearance can dramatically change other people’s perceptions about you. A man with a strong and angular jawline can make ladies swoon as it depicts confidence and strength. But the same look for women is far from ideal, as a broad chin can make them look less attractive and feminine. However, you wouldn’t want a weak chin either, as it signifies low self-esteem and vulnerability. It also makes for an unpleasant side profile since a recessed chin accentuates the size of your nose and makes your neck look fleshy. What you truly need is to keep your facial balance and proportions in check by balancing your chin in relation to the other areas of your face. With chin augmentation, you can have a beautifully sculpted chin that’s symmetrical to your other facial features, perfectly complementing your high cheekbones and aquiline nose — no matter which angle you look. [.divider-lines]And with the extensive experience and aesthetic skills of Dr. Siamak Agha, your Newport Beach chin augmentation is in capable hands.[] Know more about chin augmentation and how it can help enhance your appearance by reading the rest of this article. #### What is Chin Augmentation? Medically known as genioplasty or mentoplasty, chin augmentation reshapes your chin by adding a chin implant. It also adds definition to your jaw and balances the appearance of your nose. Popular for both men and women of all ages, chin augmentation is done together with other facial procedures, like [otoplasty](/otoplasty-newport-beach/), [cheek augmentation](/cheek-augmentation-newport-beach/), [lip augmentation](/lip-augmentation-newport-beach/), and [rhinoplasty](/rhinoplasty-newport-beach/). Some people even combine it with a neck lift or neck liposuction to create a crisp right angle under the chin. Combining these surgeries help create harmonious facial features, better proportions, and a more youthful look. If you want to make your chin less prominent, you can get chin reduction surgery instead. #### What are the Different Types of Chin Implants? The most common way to enhance your chin is through the use of chin implants. These are inserted into the chin and molded around the chin bone to increase its size and improve your chin and jawline’s definition. Aside from your choice of a plastic surgeon, the final result of your chin augmentation largely depends on the material used on your chin implants. The size also matters, as using an implant that’s too large can “masculinize” a woman’s appearance. Silicone implants are the most common types of chin implants. They are pre-formed implants shaped like a chin guard of a typical sports helmet. They come in different shapes and sizes that suit a wide variety of patients. A silicone chin implant readily conforms to a patient’s anatomy, hence it is easy to use and is the preferred choice for most plastic surgeons. Here is a rundown of the silicone chin implants Dr. Agha uses for his patients. All these come in various sizes, from extra small to extra large. Dr. Agha spent almost an hour with me on my consultation and gave me various options to choose from. His interest in what I wanted was genuine and he spent a lot of time simply listening. **-Krista R.** #### How Does Dr. Agha Do Chin Augmentation? Chin augmentation can take one to two hours, depending on the extent of the surgery. You can get your chin augmentation on an outpatient basis in an ambulatory surgical facility. Check out the procedure that Dr. Agha uses to enhance your chin and give you your desired look. #### How Do You Recover from Chin Augmentation? Read the [general information on recovery after facial surgery](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-face/). Most patients only need a week of downtime after chin augmentation. Like in most surgeries, you’ll feel tender and swollen during the first few days post-op, but you’ll always have oral pain meds prescribed by Dr. Agha to relieve the discomfort. You might also need to wear a compression garment for a week. It’s common to feel a tightness in your chin for about three weeks. That’s because your skin is still adjusting to your chin implant. If you still have any residual bruising upon returning to work, it is usually mild enough to be hidden under cosmetics until it completely fades. As for your scar, it won’t be that obvious because the incision is made under your chin or inside your mouth. If incisions are made within your mouth, Dr. Agha may place you on a liquid diet and give you special mouth rinses. Check out this estimated recovery timeline for chin augmentation: #### What Results Can You Expect from Chin Augmentation? With chin augmentation, you can get… - A more defined jawline - No more double chin - A perfectly proportional nose and chin - More balanced facial features Because of the bruising and swelling involved, it may take up to three months for you to see the final results of your surgery. #### Chin Augmentation *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Chin Augmentation Done in Newport Beach, Orange County Having a beautifully-sculpted chin that meshes perfectly with the rest of your facial features is no longer an unattainable dream. **With a board-certified and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Agha, your chin augmentation is sure to be in capable hands.** --- ## Combining Breast and Body Procedures in a Safe, Personalized Plan **Link:** [Combining Breast and Body Procedures in a Safe, Personalized Plan](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/combining-breast-and-body-procedures-in-a-safe-personalized-plan/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/combining-breast-and-body-procedures-in-a-safe-personalized-plan/index.html.md)) **Description:** Discover how Dr. Siamak Agha at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach safely combines breast and body procedures for beautiful, natural Mommy Makeover results. ### Content --- ## Combining Facelift and Neck Lift: Achieving Complete Facial Harmony **Link:** [Combining Facelift and Neck Lift: Achieving Complete Facial Harmony](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/combining-facelift-and-neck-lift-achieving-complete-facial-harmony/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/combining-facelift-and-neck-lift-achieving-complete-facial-harmony/index.html.md)) **Description:** Discover how Dr. Siamak Agha combines facelift and neck lift techniques at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach for seamless, natural facial rejuvenation. ### Content --- ## Combining Injectables with Surgery: Enhancing Long-Term Results **Link:** [Combining Injectables with Surgery: Enhancing Long-Term Results](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/combining-injectables-with-surgery-enhancing-long-term-results/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/combining-injectables-with-surgery-enhancing-long-term-results/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how Dr. Siamak Agha combines injectables with surgical procedures at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach for refined, long-lasting results. ### Content --- ## What to Know Before Combining Multiple Cosmetic Procedures **Link:** [What to Know Before Combining Multiple Cosmetic Procedures](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/combining-multiple-cosmetic-procedures/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/combining-multiple-cosmetic-procedures/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn what to know before combining cosmetic procedures, including safety, recovery, timing, and expert planning from Dr. Siamak Agha. ### Content --- ## Combining Procedures: The Rise of Custom “Transformation Packages” **Link:** [Combining Procedures: The Rise of Custom “Transformation Packages”](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/combining-procedures-the-rise-of-custom-“transformation-packages”/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/combining-procedures-the-rise-of-custom-“transformation-packages”/index.html.md)) **Description:** Discover the rise of custom transformation packages in cosmetic surgery.

It releases and repositions the deeper structural layers of the face to achieve results that are genuinely natural and built to last. What many patients don't know is that this technique is not new. The deep plane facelift was originally called the composite facelift and was pioneered over 30 years ago by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Sam T. Hamra. [.divider-lines]Its growing popularity today reflects what surgeons and patients have come to understand: addressing the deeper structural anatomy of the face produces results that look effortlessly younger, not surgically altered. [] At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, Dr. Siamak Agha performs the deep plane facelift with the precision and artistry that this technically demanding procedure requires. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Agha to find out whether a deep plane facelift is the right choice for you. #### WHY CHOOSE DR. AGHA FOR YOUR DEEP PLACE FACELIFT The deep plane facelift demands a level of surgical skill and anatomical knowledge that most facelift surgeons simply do not have. Dr. Agha is one of the few surgeons in the region who trained directly under Dr. Bryan Mendelson, a globally recognized pioneer of the deep plane facelift and one of the foremost authorities on facial anatomy in the world. That training gives Dr. Agha a first-hand mastery of the technique that is difficult to acquire any other way. His academic foundation is equally strong. Dr. Agha completed his MD and PhD at the University of Cambridge on a Wellcome Trust scholarship and his seven-year residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, one of the most respected plastic surgery programs in the country. He approaches every deep plane facelift with a three-dimensional philosophy: not tightening the face, but restoring its structure. The result is a face that looks genuinely younger, not operated on. Beyond his training, Dr. Agha is recognized by his peers as an educator in advanced facelift techniques, having served as faculty at multiple annual meetings of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. That kind of peer recognition speaks to a level of expertise that goes well beyond standard board certification. Schedule your deep plane facelift consultation at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach to learn what this procedure can do for your face. #### What is a Deep Plane Facelift? The deep plane facelift is an advanced facelift technique that goes beyond surface-level skin tightening to address the foundational structures of facial aging. It elevates the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), which is the connective tissue and muscle layer lying beneath the facial skin, along with the deeper facial muscle layer beneath it. Crucially, it also releases the retaining ligaments that anchor these tissues to the bone. These ligaments are what prevent the deeper tissues from being lifted with traditional facelift techniques alone. Because the skin, muscle, and fat layers are all lifted together as a single composite unit rather than in separate layers under tension, the deep plane facelift produces a natural, tension-free repositioning of the face that conventional facelift surgery simply cannot replicate. This complete ligament release and deeper tissue elevation also translates directly into longer-lasting results. The deep plane facelift is particularly effective at restoring the natural contours and proportions of the aging face. Results look harmonious with each patient's unique facial structure rather than generically tighter. It is a technically demanding procedure that requires a higher level of surgical skill and anatomical knowledge than a standard SMAS facelift. Dr. Agha trained directly under Dr. Bryan Mendelson, one of the globally recognized pioneers of the deep plane facelift, and brings that specialized expertise to every procedure he performs. #### How Is a Deep Plane Facelift Done? The deep plane facelift begins in the same way as other facelift procedures, with incisions placed in front of and behind the ear. From there, the technique diverges significantly. The facial skin is partially elevated off the SMAS layer up to a line running from the outer corner of the eye to the angle of the jaw. At this point, the SMAS layer is incised and the dissection continues beneath the superficial facial muscles responsible for facial expression and movement. Working at this deeper plane, the retaining ligaments that anchor the SMAS to the underlying bone are released. This is the defining step of the procedure. Once these ligaments are freed, the surgeon gains the ability to lift and reposition the mobile face to a higher, more youthful position without any tension on the overlying skin. The deeper muscle layer is then suspended and secured with sutures to the tissue surrounding the ear. Once the deeper structures have been repositioned, excess skin is trimmed and the incisions are closed. The result is a face that has been structurally restored, not just tightened. #### How Much Do Deep Plane Facelifts Cost? The cost of a deep plane facelift varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of the procedure, the surgeon's level of expertise and training, and the geographic location of the practice. Because every deep plane facelift is customized to the individual patient's anatomy and goals, pricing reflects the highly personalized nature of the surgery. The total cost typically includes the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, surgical facility costs, and post-operative care. A personalized cost estimate is provided following your consultation with Dr. Agha, once the appropriate technique and scope of your procedure have been determined. #### DEEP PLANE FACELIFT *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS* --- ## Deep Plane Facelift vs. Traditional: Which Approach Is Right for You? **Link:** [Deep Plane Facelift vs. Traditional: Which Approach Is Right for You?](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/deep-plane-facelift-traditional-which-approach-is-right-for-you/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/deep-plane-facelift-traditional-which-approach-is-right-for-you/index.html.md)) **Description:** Deep plane vs. traditional facelift: See how Dr. Siamak Agha at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach tailors techniques to your anatomy and goals. ### Content --- ## Deep Plane Facelift vs. SMAS Facelift: What's the Difference? **Link:** [Deep Plane Facelift vs. SMAS Facelift: What's the Difference?](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/deep-plane-facelift-vs-smas-facelift/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/deep-plane-facelift-vs-smas-facelift/index.html.md)) **Description:** Deep plane facelift vs. SMAS facelift: how these two techniques differ in approach, longevity, and recovery, explained by a Newport Beach surgeon. ### Content --- ## DEMO BLOG 1 **Link:** [DEMO BLOG 1](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/demo-blog/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/demo-blog/index.html.md)) **Description:** DEMO DEMO DEMO ### Content --- ## Dermal Fillers **Link:** [Dermal Fillers](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/dermal-fillers/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/dermal-fillers/index.html.md)) **Description:** Unveiling Your Best Skin: Newport Beach Dermal Fillers at The One Plastic Surgery Center NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Subtle Enhancements *Newport Beach Dermal Fillers at The One Plastic Surgery Center* As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, lines, and a loss of youthful volume.

Book an appointment with our professional plastic surgeons today. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content The eyes are the most attractive features of a person’s face. Some people adore deep-set eyes that highlight the brows and make the eyes look more expressive. Others find almond-shaped eyes reminiscent of classic Hollywood glam. Then there are individuals who love downturned eyes because they create a perfect canvas for a sexy cat-eye shape. For many Asians who naturally have small, single-lidded eyes, however, having bigger and rounder eyes with a natural-looking crease is the one thing they aspire to have. [Around 50% of Asians are born with monolids](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2884917/). This means their upper eyelids don’t have a natural fold commonly seen among Caucasians. Without the crease, the eyelid skin folds just above the lash line, making their eyes appear smaller. [.divider-lines]There are also many individuals who already have double eyelids or creases on their upper lids, but still long for better shape, length, and definition.[] If you lack an upper eyelid crease or have a poorly defined one, you’re in for a treat. Drs. Agha or Dr. Razfar can help you to achieve your dream peepers with a professional double eyelid surgery. #### What is Double Eyelid Surgery? Double eyelid surgery has one specific purpose: to create a crease in the upper eyelid. This divides the upper eyelids into two segments, making the eyes rounder and bigger. It also fixes other eye cosmetic concerns. One example is drooping, which occurs when eyelid muscles become weak or disconnect from the eyelid cartilage. Another is eye puffiness, which is often associated with hooded links. Through the removal of excess skin and fat, your eyes will appear rejuvenated and more luminous. It’ll also be easier to apply eye makeup when you have double eyelids. Double Eyelid surgery [is one of the most requested cosmetic procedures](https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/health-beauty/article/2093921/why-double-eyelid-surgery-rise-asia-rising-incomes-and) among Asians (or those with Asian roots). Hence, it’s also commonly referred to as Asian blepharoplasty. Most of the people who undergo this surgery are women. Only about 5% of patients are men. It’s also easier to apply eye makeup when you have double eyelids. #### What are the Different Double Eyelid Surgery Techniques? Depending on your needs and type of eyelid, you can choose between two methods of double eyelid surgery: **incisional and non-incisional. **Know which of these two best suits your condition and goals: Dr. Agha spent almost an hour with me on my consultation and gave me various options to choose from. His interest in what I wanted was genuine and he spent a lot of time simply listening. **- Krista R**. #### How Is Double Eyelid Surgery Done? Like all other cosmetic surgeries, you need to schedule a consultation to discuss the look you want to achieve. #### How Do You Recover from Double Eyelid Surgery? Recovery for double eyelid surgery typically lasts from one to two weeks. Those who opted for non-incisional eyelid surgery could recover as fast as three days. Expect some swelling, bruising, and discoloration in the first week after your eyelid surgery. You can apply ice packs to reduce these symptoms. A bit of pain is also expected, but it’s manageable by post-op pain medications. You’ll also be given eye drops and ointment to take care of your operative site. During the first two weeks, it’s fine to camouflage residual bruising with light eye makeup. Other ways you can hide the evidence of plastic surgery for double eyelids is using sunglasses. Scars shouldn’t be an issue. The new eyelid crease disguises them. Furthermore, you can expect their appearance to continue to improve up to 18 months. Here’s an estimated timetable of your double eyelid surgery recovery without any complications: #### What Results Can You Expect from Double Eyelid Surgery? Getting double eyelid surgery will give you: - A natural-looking eyelid crease - Brighter, more open, and more defined eyes - More symmetrical eyes - A lighter feeling on the eyelids - Longer-looking lashes - An easier time applying eye makeup At first, you might notice that your creases look higher than expected. But they’ll eventually descend to the perfect level and shape you desire as swelling subsides within one to two months of healing. The results of the anchor incisional technique can last for decades, affected only by the natural aging process. As for the non-incisional technique results, they last for an average of seven years. #### Double Eyelid Surgery FAQs *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Double Eyelid Surgery Done in Newport Beach, Orange County *Having an eyelid crease isn’t reserved for a certain race or ethnicity* **It doesn’t matter if you’re an Asian wanting to have a natural-looking fold on the eyelids or an American simply desiring symmetrical eyelid creases.

Ellacor removes micro-portions of excess skin to achieve an improvement in the appearance of wrinkles without the evidence of scarring and faster healing than many energy-based procedures that use heat generated by laser, radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to induce intentional thermal injury to the skin. #### Ellacor Reviews See below real reviews from our practice patients.

Emsculpt Neo®’s patented synchronized electrode design allows for the simultaneous fat burning and heating of muscles, creating a synergistic effect. It then results in fat reduction and muscle growth. At least seven clinical studies have tested the Emsculpt Neo® and proven its safety and effectiveness. These studies show an average of [30% fat reduction and 25% increase in muscle mass](https://www.asds.net/medical-professionals/annual-meeting) among patients.

And since Emsculpt Neo® is essentially a two-in-one procedure, you’ll certainly get the bang for your buck, with bigger savings to spare. #### Emsculpt® vs. Emsculpt Neo®: What’s the Difference? #### CoolSculpting® vs. Emsculpt Neo®: What’s the Difference? #### How Does Emsculpt Neo® Work? In Emsculpt Neo®, an applicator that simultaneously emits synchronized RF and HIFEM+ energies is applied to your problem area. Radiofrequency heating increases your muscle temperature by several degrees to warm it up before being exposed to stress. Within four minutes, the high temperature damages your subcutaneous fat cells, causing them to die in a process known as apoptosis. These cells will then be removed from the body. On the other hand, HIFEM+ energy causes your muscle fibers to contract intensely – up to 20,000 rapid muscle contractions in a 30-minute session. That’s more than what you usually experience during workouts. This will put your muscles under extreme stress, triggering a metabolic reaction that results in the growth of muscle fibers and the elimination of fat cells. During the procedure, expect some intense muscle contractions coupled with a heating sensation in the treated area. Many patients have likened the experience to a hot stone massage. #### Are You a Good Candidate for Emsculpt Neo®? Want less fat and more muscle? Emsculpt Neo® can help you, but you also have to consider the following factors to know if you can sign up for a session: - **Low BMI** – Emsculpt Neo® has been proven effective for patients with a body mass index of 35 and below. If you have a higher BMI, it’s best to lose weight first to prevent excess fat from reducing the strength of the muscle contractions. - **Low body fat** – Body sculpting treatments that involve fat transfer require you to have enough body fat to get the procedure. If you don’t have enough fat, Emsculpt® may be a good alternative. #### What are the Results of Emsculpt Neo®? Getting an Emsculpt Neo® treatment gives you… - 30% less fat reduction - 25% muscle growth - Noticeable improvement right after the treatment - Increased confidence and improved self-image To get the best results, experts recommend getting four treatments over four weeks. #### Get Emsculpt Neo® in Orange County Emsculpt Neo essentially delivers two procedures in one treatment, making it a faster, cheaper, and more effective fat removal and muscle toning solution compared to other non-invasive procedures.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Body Sculpting Technology *For Tighter Abs and Firmer Buttocks* Despite your best efforts, diet and exercise may not be enough to contour your body the way you want to. Defining your muscles may be even harder, as this is usually achieved through cosmetic surgeries. But what if there’s a non-surgical procedure that can help you tone your muscles without breaking a sweat? Emsculpt® is the first-ever energy device that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved to build muscle mass and abs without rigorous exercise or going under the knife. It has been studied extensively and shown to yield results for people who want to contour various parts of their body, like the abdomen and buttocks. If you want to learn more about this procedure, continue reading this article. #### What is Emsculpt? Emsculpt is a unique non-invasive procedure that lets you build muscle and sculpt your body. In fact, it is the only procedure that can do that aside from its revolutionary successor, [Emsculpt® Neo](/emsculpt-neo-newport-beach/). The FDA has approved Emsculpt® for improving abdominal tone, strengthening abdominal muscles, developing a firmer abdomen, and strengthening, toning, and firming up the buttocks. Emsculpt® can increase your average muscle mass by 16%, according to numerous studies. This has resulted in a 96% patient satisfaction rating. With this procedure, you can sculpt different areas of your body, such as your tummy, arms, calves, and buttocks. That’s why it’s also known as the world’s first non-invasive butt toning procedure. #### Emsculpt Treatment Areas #### Are You a Good Candidate for Emsculpt? Anyone who wants to define their abdominal muscles, lift their buttocks, or sculpt their thighs can benefit from Emsculpt®. Both men and women are eligible for the procedure. It is best if you’re already physically active and are adhering to a healthy diet and lifestyle. After all, these are crucial in maintaining results for a long time. However, if you have a thick layer of fat in the areas you want to treat, you may want to consider the [Emsculpt® Neo,](/emsculpt-neo-newport-beach/) which offers muscle formation and fat reduction. You should also wait for at least six months after pregnancy and breastfeeding to get Emsculpt treatments. If you’re close to your menstruation date, take note that Emsculpt® may intensify cramping, so it’s not recommended to undergo treatment during this time of the month. Other contraindications for Emsculpt® sessions include: - Metal or electronic implants in the treatment area - Implanted defibrillators - Cardiac pacemakers - Implanted neurostimulator - Drug pumps - Epilepsy - Hemorrhagic conditions - Malignant tumor - Recent surgeries #### What are the Results of Emsculpt? You’ll feel tangible results right after your first treatment session. You’ll gradually see positive results two to four weeks after your last session, continuing to improve for several weeks following your treatment.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### EXPERT BODY CONTOURING *BY DR. SIAMAK AGHA* An extended tummy tuck is a powerful and highly refined body contouring procedure designed to reshape not only the abdomen, but also the waist, hips, and flanks for a smoother, more proportionate silhouette. While a traditional tummy tuck focuses primarily on the front of the abdomen, an extended tummy tuck goes several steps further—addressing excess skin, fat, and laxity that extend beyond the waistline. When performed by a surgeon with advanced expertise in body contouring, the results can be truly transformative. Dr. Siamak Agha is internationally recognized for his expertise in advanced abdominoplasty techniques and lower body contouring. With decades of experience and a meticulous, anatomy-driven approach, Dr. Agha customizes each extended tummy tuck to achieve the most natural, balanced, and long-lasting results possible. His philosophy centers on treating the torso as a continuous three-dimensional structure rather than a single isolated area, which is why his extended tummy tuck results are known for their elegance, harmony, and durability. #### DR. SIAMAK AGHA’S ADVANCED APPROACH TO EXTENDED TUMMY TUCK SURGERY What truly distinguishes Dr. Agha’s extended tummy tuck is not just the length of the incision, but the level of artistry, planning, and technical mastery involved. Dr. Agha is widely known for his deep understanding of torso anatomy and biomechanics, particularly in patients who have experienced massive weight loss or multiple pregnancies. Rather than performing a “one-size-fits-all” abdominoplasty, Dr. Agha carefully evaluates: - Skin quality and elasticity - Direction and severity of laxity - Fat distribution patterns - Muscle separation and core weakness - Waist-to-hip proportions - Overall body balance from every angle Using this information, he custom-designs the incision length, muscle repair strategy, and skin re-draping technique to maximize contour while minimizing tension and distortion. This level of customization is critical for achieving smooth transitions between the abdomen, waist, and hips—an area where less experienced surgeons often fall short. Dr. Agha frequently incorporates advanced liposuction techniques to further sculpt the waist and enhance definition, always prioritizing safety and long-term skin health. #### What Makes an Extended Tummy Tuck Different? The key distinction between a full tummy tuck and an extended tummy tuck lies in the length and reach of the incision. In a standard abdominoplasty, the incision typically runs from hip to hip and is designed to correct excess skin and muscle laxity in the central abdomen. An extended tummy tuck, on the other hand, carries this incision further around the waist and toward the lower back, allowing for treatment of the flanks, hips, and love handles. This extension enables a greater degree of contouring, especially for patients who have excess skin and fat that wrap around the sides of the torso. Liposuction is often incorporated to further refine the waistline and smooth transitions between treated areas. As a result, the extended tummy tuck produces a more continuous and natural-looking contour from the front of the abdomen to the sides of the waist. Although more extensive than a standard tummy tuck, this procedure is still less invasive than a circumferential or 360-degree tummy tuck, which addresses the entire torso, including the lower back. For many patients, the extended tummy tuck represents an ideal middle ground—offering dramatic improvement without the added complexity and recovery associated with a 360 degree incision. #### Benefits of an Extended Tummy Tuck An extended tummy tuck offers several advantages for patients who require more than a traditional abdominoplasty can provide. These benefits include: - Enhanced waist and hip contouring - Removal of excess skin and fat from the abdomen, flanks, and love handles - Tightening of weakened or separated abdominal muscles - Improved body proportions and a more defined hourglass shape - Smoother transitions between the abdomen and hips Because this procedure addresses a broader surface area, it can significantly improve how clothing fits and how the body looks from multiple angles. Patients often report increased confidence and comfort in fitted clothing, swimwear, and everyday activities following surgery. #### Combining an Extended Tummy Tuck with Other Procedures In select cases, an extended tummy tuck may be combined with additional body contouring procedures to further enhance results. One common combination is pairing the surgery with an anterior or outer thigh lift. This approach can improve the contour of the upper thighs, reduce skin dimpling or cellulite, and create a smoother, more continuous transition from the waist to the legs. When performed together, these procedures can help restore balance and harmony to the lower body. Combining surgeries may also reduce overall recovery time compared to undergoing each procedure separately. Dr. Agha carefully evaluates each patient’s anatomy, goals, and overall health to determine whether a combined approach is appropriate and safe. #### WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR AN EXTENDED TUMMY TUCK? An extended tummy tuck is ideal for patients who have moderate to severe skin laxity of the abdomen and waist. This is commonly seen in individuals who have undergone massive weight loss or in women whose bodies have changed after multiple pregnancies. These patients often have loose skin and residual fat that extends beyond the central abdomen and into the flanks or hips. Good candidates typically meet the following criteria: - Significant excess skin and fat in the abdomen and waist - Stable body weight for several months prior to surgery - Good general health and no uncontrolled medical conditions - Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking before and after surgery - Realistic expectations about results and scarring While an extended tummy tuck produces more extensive scarring than a standard abdominoplasty, the incision is usually placed low enough by Dr. Agha, to be concealed by underwear or swimwear. For patients who prioritize improved contour and proportionality, the trade-off is often well worth it. #### How Is an Extended Tummy Tuck Performed? An extended tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. The procedure typically takes three to four hours, depending on the extent of correction required and whether additional procedures, such as liposuction, are performed at the same time.

Eyelid surgery in Newport Beach can help! Schedule a blepharoplasty appointment with us today! NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Of all your facial features, nothing pierces the soul more than your eyes. Science has proven time and time again how most people find the eyes to be the most striking and attractive facial feature they look for in a partner. Eyes come in all shapes, colors, and sizes, but youthful-looking eyes that complement one’s face have always been what’s constituted as beautiful eyes. But as you age, your skin loses elasticity — including the skin surrounding your eyes. And with the constant pull of gravity coupled with muscle weakness, the skin of your eyelids can stretch, sag, and form unsightly wrinkles, making you look tired and a lot older than your years. You might even develop extra folds of skin hanging over your upper eyelids, obstructing your view and limiting your sight. When that happens, some people unconsciously raise their brows and keep them up all the time in order to improve their vision. Unfortunately, no amount of sleep can get rid of those lower eyelid bags, and even concealer makeups have a hard time hiding them from plain sight. Sometimes, they aren’t even caused by age — they can be hereditary or a result of fluid accumulation. How great would it feel if you could wake up one morning without needing eye pads or cold compresses to reduce and conceal your puffy eye bags? [.divider-lines]Thanks to Dr. Siamak Agha of The One Plastic Surgery Center, you no longer need to put sliced cucumbers and various creams on your eyes to make them look alert and refreshed.[] Whether you have brown, almond-shaped eyes or rounded blue eyes, a Newport Beach eyelid surgery will help eliminate the hooded skin of your upper lids and the puffiness and bags of your lower lids, bringing out rejuvenated and younger-looking eyes. Discover how eyelid surgery can help you as you read the rest of this article. #### What is Eyelid Surgery? As you age, your upper eyelid skin develops wrinkles and loses its crisp contour due to pockets of bulging fat. The lower eyelids also experience similar but more profound changes. Like the upper lids, the supporting structures of the lower eyelid weaken over time, being pushed out by pockets of fat globules surrounding the eyeball. Thus, you develop lower eyelid bags due to a combination of weakened eyelid supporting structures and bulging fat. Fortunately, you can combat these changes with an eyelid surgery — medically known as **blepharoplasty**. Eyelid surgery does three things: - Eliminates droopiness and heaviness from your upper eyelids - Reduces bagginess and puffiness from your lower eyelids - Improves the shape and contour of your eyes According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ 2018 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report, eyelid surgery is the fourth most popular cosmetic procedure of 2018. Over 206,000 patients underwent the surgery, most of them aged 40 years old and above. But take note that eyelid surgery will NOT eliminate the dark circles under your eyes and other facial wrinkles. It also won’t help lift sagging brows, unless you pair it with [brow lift surgery](/forehead-and-brow-lift-newport-beach/). Eyelid surgery can, however, add a crease on your upper eyelids using a procedure known as double eyelid surgery or Asian blepharoplasty. [Learn more about double eyelid surgery in this article.](/double-eyelid-surgery-newport-beach/) #### What are the Different Eyelid Surgery Techniques? There are plenty of reasons why you may undergo eyelid surgery, and your reason will dictate whether you need upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both. Dr. Agha also offers canthopexy and canthoplasty, depending on your eyelid anatomy and facial structure. Dr. Agha takes the time to know you as a person and fully understand your specific goals. He is a dear physician who communicates clearly and concisely. -Lesley L. #### How Does Dr. Agha Do Eyelid Surgery? Blepharoplasty is often done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can immediately go home a few hours after your surgery. Weeks prior to your scheduled eyelid surgery, you might need to undergo the following tests: - **Physical Examination** – includes testing your tear production and measuring parts of your eyelids - **Vision Examination** – involves testing your peripheral vision, often done to support an insurance claim - **Eyelid Photography** – involves taking images of the eyes from different angles Here’s a quick rundown of how he does it. #### How Do You Recover from Eyelid Surgery? Read the [general information on recovery after facial surgery](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-face/). Expect some discomfort on the first few days after your eyelid surgery. However, this will subside over time, and Dr. Agha will give you oral medications to help ease the pain as needed. You’ll also experience bruising and swelling up to a week post-surgery. You can reduce swelling by applying ice packs to your eye area at least four times a day. It is also recommended to sleep upright for the first few days post-op, propped with extra pillows. Some people may develop dry eyes, but it usually does not last for more than two weeks. If you experience eye dryness, let the office know. You may also temporarily experience blurred vision, watery eyes, double vision, light sensitivity, and numb eyelids. Stitches are typically removed at 7 days post-op, except if they are self-absorbing stitches. Scars fade and become inconspicuous in a few months’ time. If there’s any residual bruising, you can hide them with cosmetics or dark sunglasses until it completely fades. Here’s an estimated timeline of when you can return to your normal activities, as long as there are no complications: #### Eyelid Surgery FAQs *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Eyelid Surgery Done in Newport Beach, Orange County​ --- ## Face **Link:** [Face](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/face/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/face/index.html.md)) **Description:** Face ### Content --- ## FACE FAT TRANSFER **Link:** [FACE FAT TRANSFER](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/face-fat-transfer/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/face-fat-transfer/index.html.md)) **Description:** FACE FAT TRANSFER - NEWPORT BEACH, CA - If you're seeking a safe, natural, and long-lasting solution to restore youthfulness and/or enhance your facial features, Face Fat Transfer is the answer.

Sagging skin, lines and wrinkles, and loss of elasticity can conspire to dim your inner spark of confidence. Minimally invasive treatments like dermal fillers and energy-based skin tightening have come a long way — but there comes a point where they can only do so much. When the changes are real and the aging is more significant, surgery is the only treatment that genuinely addresses what is happening beneath the surface. [.divider-lines]The good news is that a facelift and neck lift performed by Dr. Siamak Agha at The One Plastic Surgery Center can restore a genuinely youthful version of your appearance — one that looks natural, refreshed, and authentically you.[] Learn more about how our sophisticated three-dimensional approach to facelift surgery can restore the contours, definition, and vitality that aging takes away. Then, schedule your personal consultation with one of Newport Beach's most trusted board-certified plastic surgeons to discover which technique will deliver the results you deserve. #### Why Choose Dr. Agha for Your Facelift & Neck Lift? Choosing a facelift surgeon is one of the most consequential decisions you will make — the results live on your face every single day. Two surgeons can perform the same named procedure and produce vastly different outcomes. What makes the difference is the depth of training, the sophistication of the surgical philosophy, and the ability to see the face in three dimensions rather than two. Dr. Agha completed his MD and PhD at the University of Cambridge on a prestigious Wellcome Trust scholarship — one of the most selective physician-scientist programs in the world. His doctoral research in gene therapy resulted in two international patents filed by Cambridge University, a testament to a scientific precision that carries directly into his surgical practice. He then completed a seven-year residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center — one of the most respected training programs in the United States. Critically, Dr. Agha trained directly under Dr. Bryan Mendelson, a globally recognized pioneer of the deep plane facelift and one of the foremost authorities on the anatomy of facial aging. That foundation shows in how Dr. Agha approaches every facelift. Where most surgeons correct in two dimensions, he has spent over two decades developing techniques that restore the third: projection, volume, and structural depth. His three-dimensional philosophy does not simply tighten what remains — it rebuilds the underlying facial architecture, recreating the definition and natural shape of a younger face. The result is a patient who looks genuinely refreshed, not operated on. Dr. Agha also specializes in revision facelift surgery — correcting results from other surgeons that did not meet expectations. This is among the most technically demanding work in plastic surgery, requiring the ability to work through prior scarring, altered tissue, and the limitations of what previous surgery left behind. His expertise here reflects not just technical skill, but a deep understanding of what goes wrong when the surgical philosophy is flawed from the start. Beyond the operating room, Dr. Agha is recognized by his peers as both an educator and an innovator. He has served as faculty at more than five annual meetings of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, teaching advanced techniques to fellow surgeons. He is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a Diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), and a Fellow of the Royal College of Medicine (U.K.). His peer-reviewed publications and contributions to plastic surgery textbooks reflect a career built on advancing the field — not simply practicing within it. To schedule your personal facelift consultation, contact The One Plastic Surgery Center at (949) 644-2442 or visit us at 3701 Birch St. #200, Newport Beach, CA 92660. Monday through Thursday, 9 AM – 5:30 PM. #### The Perfect Balance *What Sets The One Plastic Surgery Center Apart* A truly beautiful face is defined by three dimensions — height, width, and projection. The upper, mid, and lower face each occupy roughly one-third of total face height. The cheekbones are prominent, the cheeks are defined, and the jawline is crisp and clear. Aging gradually disrupts all of this. As skin loosens, fat descends, and bone recedes, those natural proportions begin to blur. A facelift can restore most of these changes — but only when it is done with the right approach. The problem with many facelift techniques today is that they offer what is essentially a two-dimensional fix: pulling skin and muscle upward and backward. This tightens the face, but it also flattens it — erasing the very features that give a face its character. That pulled, windswept look that people associate with bad plastic surgery? That is what happens when a three-dimensional problem is treated with a two-dimensional solution. At The One Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Agha takes a different approach — one that restores the natural three-dimensional structure of the face, not just its surface tightness. The result is a face that looks like you, only years younger. #### Aging Gracefully: The Unique Challenges of the Face and Neck *What Causes Aging in the Face & Neck?* #### A Sophisticated Approach *What is a Facelift?* Medically known as a rhytidectomy, a facelift is the most powerful and longest-lasting surgical solution for facial and neck aging. It works by removing excess skin, repositioning the deeper tissues and muscles that have descended over time, and restoring the natural structure of your face — so you look like a younger, more vibrant version of yourself. A facelift and neck lift are frequently performed together for complete rejuvenation of the lower face and neck in a single procedure. With a facelift, Dr. Agha will: - Remove excess skin and smooth wrinkles on the face and neck - Eliminate deep folds and facial creases - Lift and reposition sagging facial tissues back to their natural position - Restore fullness and definition to the cheeks - Create a crisp, defined jaw angle - Tighten and correct neck bands - Restore a smooth, firm neck contour Facelift surgery is one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures for adults aged 55 and above — and for good reason. No other treatment delivers the same degree of structural correction, or results that last a decade or longer. Fall in love with your appearance again. Schedule your personal facelift consultation at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach today. #### Sculpted to Your Goals *Types of Facelifts* There are many different facelift techniques — and not all of them are right for every patient. The good news is that Dr. Agha will help guide you to the one that fits your anatomy and goals. What most people don't realize is that nearly all facelifts use the same basic incisions: starting at the temples within the hairline, continuing in the natural crease in front of the ear, around the earlobe, and ending behind the ear. Through these incisions, the deeper tissues are repositioned and excess skin is removed — smoothing creases, eliminating jowls, and tightening the neck. What separates one facelift from another is how deeply the surgeon works and which layers of tissue are addressed. That is what determines the quality, naturalness, and longevity of your result. Here are the most common techniques Dr. Agha performs: #### A Step-by-Step Guide to Facelift and Neck Lift Procedures *The Facelift Procedure* #### Essential Care for Beautiful Healing *Facelift and Neck Lift Recovery and Aftercare* A facelift is a real surgical procedure — but most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the recovery is. The first two to three days are when bruising and swelling are at their worst. After that, things improve quickly. Most patients feel comfortable being seen in public within one to two weeks. - You will be given pain medication to manage any discomfort in the first few days. Some bruising and swelling for 7–14 days is normal and expected. - Keep your head elevated on 3–4 pillows for the first seven days — this helps reduce swelling significantly. - Applying ice to the face in the first few days helps minimize bruising and swelling. - A small drain behind the ear will be removed on day two. We will give you simple instructions for caring for it at home. - Apply a thin layer of Bacitracin ointment to your incisions to keep them moist and support good healing. Facelift scars take three to six months to fully mature and fade into a thin, nearly invisible line. Because they are placed within natural creases and the hairline, most patients feel comfortable going out in public well within the first week. One important note: protect your skin from the sun during recovery. A wide-brimmed hat and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen will help your scars heal as well as possible and protect your results long-term. #### Wisdom + Beauty = A Winning Combination *Facelift and Neck Lift Results* After a facelift and neck lift with Dr. Agha, the results speak for themselves — natural, three-dimensional, and built to last. The best compliment our patients receive after surgery is not "you look like you had a facelift." It is "you look incredible — what have you been doing?" That is exactly the outcome Dr. Agha works toward with every patient. - After your procedure, you can expect: - Noticeably reduced lines, wrinkles, and deep facial creases - Firmer, smoother skin across the face and neck - Restored facial contour with natural-looking three-dimensional definition - A refreshed, youthful appearance that looks genuine — not operated on - Renewed self-confidence and a greater sense of well-being A 2017 peer-reviewed study confirmed that patients who underwent facial rejuvenation surgery were seen as significantly younger and more attractive by independent observers. With Dr. Agha's three-dimensional technique, results typically last a decade or longer — and are best maintained with sun protection, a stable weight, and a consistent skincare routine. #### Facelift & Neck Lift *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Facelift Newport Beach: What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery **Link:** [Facelift Newport Beach: What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/facelift-newport-beach-what-to-expect/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/facelift-newport-beach-what-to-expect/index.html.md)) **Description:** Considering a facelift in Newport Beach?

POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content Most weight loss patients present with abdominal tissue excess that is mainly vertically oriented. For some patients, when the abdominal girth was large to begin with, the patients end up with a lot of abdominal tissue laxity circumferentially as well as vertically. These patients often have a large wide pannus starting high below the rib cage and extending like an apron. Under these circumstance, to obtain a flat abdomen requires for correction of both the abdominal excess vertically and horizontally. This is normally done via a Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty through its inverted T incision. The vertical incision of the fleur-de-lis is used to reduce abdominal width and the lower curved abdominoplasty incision is used to correct for abdominal height excess. Although effective, the fleur-de-lis has an extremely unsightly and evident incision that lies in the middle of the abdomen that sometimes extends into the lower chest. While all of Dr. Agha’s lower body lift incisions can be covered easily in a bikini, the vertical incision of the fleur-de-lis is a sore sight in the middle of the patient’s abdomen. For that reason, and especially in those patients who need a J-upper body lift, flankplasty may offer a more palatable approach. In flankplasty, elliptical segments of flank tissue are excised from each side to create a straight abdominal contour in a man, and a concave flank in a woman. The procedure is typically performed at a later stage after a tummy tuck has healed and back rolls are corrected. Although with flankplasty you will have one incision on each side, the incisions are less visible than that of a midline abdominal cut. Also flankplasty produces a superior result than a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty. This is because with flankplasty both abdominal and back laxity is tucked in and corrected. On the other hand, Fleur-de-lis only corrects for abdominal width excess and does little for the back excess. It is important to understand that a flankplasty is not a substitute for an upper body lift. Flankplasty is for circumferential correction and a bra-line upper body lift is for vertical correction. This is exemplified below. This patient presented to Dr. Agha for a complete total body revision and corrections after surgery by another surgeon. Patient’s arms are still too large, her armpits still sag, her abdominal scar is way too high and uneven, and her flankplasty is done before a bra-line upper body lift. Thus she still has rolls of back tissue excess. This is an example of poor planning and poor execution. --- ## Can You Achieve a Flat Stomach Without Surgery After Weight Loss? **Link:** [Can You Achieve a Flat Stomach Without Surgery After Weight Loss?](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/flat-stomach-without-surgery-after-weight-loss/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/flat-stomach-without-surgery-after-weight-loss/index.html.md)) **Description:** Can you get a flat stomach without surgery after weight loss?

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Inverted-T (Fleur-de-Lis) Abdominoplasty The** inverted-T abdominoplasty**—also known as the **fleur-de-lis tummy tuck**—is a specialized and less commonly performed body contouring procedure designed for patients with extensive excess skin and tissue of the abdomen. Unlike traditional tummy tuck techniques that primarily address laxity in the lower abdomen, **the fleur-de-lis approach targets both vertical and horizontal skin redundancy**. This allows for a more dramatic reshaping of the waist and abdomen, often restoring a more balanced, proportionate, and hourglass-like silhouette in patients who require substantial correction. [.divider-lines]Because of its more extensive nature and the presence of a vertical scar on the abdomen, the inverted-T abdominoplasty is reserved for carefully selected cases. Dr. Agha recommends this technique only when it offers a clear advantage over other options and when the patient fully understands and accepts the trade-offs involved. [] In many instances, alternative procedures—such as flankplasty—may achieve equal or even superior contouring with more discreet scarring. For the right candidate, however, a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty can be life-changing, particularly after massive weight loss. #### Understanding the Inverted-T (Fleur-de-Lis) Technique The defining feature of a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty is its **incision pattern**. The procedure **combines a traditional horizontal incision** placed low along the abdomen—typically positioned so it can be concealed beneath underwear or swimwear—with a **vertical incision that runs along the midline** of the abdomen. Together, these incisions form an inverted “T” shape, which gives the procedure its name. This dual-incision approach allows Dr. Agha to remove **excess skin and tissue in two directions**: vertically and horizontally. Standard tummy tucks are effective at tightening loose skin top-to-bottom, but they often fall short in patients who also have significant circumferential (horizontal) laxity. In such cases, a traditional abdominoplasty may leave behind residual fullness or skin folds in the central abdomen or waist. The fleur-de-lis technique directly addresses this limitation by enabling **comprehensive skin excision and reshaping**. While the contouring benefits can be excellent, the vertical scar is permanent and visible. For this reason, Dr. Agha carefully evaluates each patient’s anatomy, goals, and lifestyle before recommending this approach. The procedure is performed only when the anticipated improvement in shape clearly outweighs the downside of additional scarring. #### Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty vs. Flankplasty In many cases where patients are concerned about waist fullness and poor abdominal definition, Dr. Agha may recommend a [flankplasty](/flankplasty-post-bariatric/) as an alternative to the fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty. **Flankplasty** focuses on removing excess **skin and fat from the sides** of the torso using **well-hidden vertical incisions** along the flanks. This technique tightens the skin circumferentially, addressing not only the abdomen but also the back and waistline. Compared to a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, **flankplasty often produces more dramatic and harmonious contouring** with scars that are easier to conceal. It can be particularly effective for patients with circumferential laxity following massive weight loss. For this reason, Dr. Agha frequently favors flankplasty when appropriate and reserves the inverted-T approach for situations where cicumferential abdominal laxity is severe and cannot be corrected adequately by other methods. Patients interested in learning more about flankplasty are encouraged to explore this option in detail during their consultation, as it may offer a superior balance between results and scarring for many individuals.

A fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. The procedure begins with careful preoperative markings to guide precise skin removal and ensure balanced, symmetrical results. [**Book your consultation for a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck in Orange County**](#schedule-consult-footer-form) #### Who Is a Good Candidate for a Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty? The fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty is best suited for **patients who have undergone massive weight loss**—whether through bariatric surgery, medical weight loss, GLP-1 medications, or lifestyle changes—and are left with extensive excess skin of the abdomen. These patients often experience skin laxity that extends both vertically and circumferentially, resulting in folds, overhangs, and a lack of definition that cannot be resolved with a standard tummy tuck. - Ideal candidates typically share the following characteristics: - Significant excess skin in both the upper and lower abdomen - Pronounced circumferential laxity or central abdominal fullness - Stable weight for several months prior to surgery - Good overall health and the ability to undergo general anesthesia - Realistic expectations and an understanding of the resulting scars This procedure is not intended for patients seeking subtle refinement or minimal scarring. Instead, it is designed for **those who prioritize improved body contour and function**—such as better clothing fit and reduced skin irritation—over scar concealment. By removing a substantial amount of excess skin and tissue, the fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty can dramatically improve waist definition and overall abdominal contour. #### Recovery and Expected Outcomes Recovery from a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty is similar to that of a traditional tummy tuck, though it may be slightly longer due to the extent of the surgery. Patients can expect swelling, tightness, and temporary discomfort, which are managed with prescribed medications and supportive garments. Most individuals are able to return to light activities within a few weeks, with gradual resumption of normal routines as healing progresses. Over time, swelling subsides and the new abdominal contour becomes more apparent. While scars are permanent, they typically fade and soften with proper care. For the right patient, the improved shape, comfort, and confidence gained from a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty can far outweigh the presence of visible scarring, making it a powerful option in comprehensive body contouring after massive weight loss. --- ## FOREARM REDUCTION **Link:** [FOREARM REDUCTION](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/forearm-reduction-post-bariatric/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/forearm-reduction-post-bariatric/index.html.md)) **Description:** Forearm reduction surgery is used to reduce excess skin after significant weight loss. AFTER WEIGHT LOSS ### Content #### FOREARM REDUCTION AFTER WEIGHT LOSS The forearm—also referred to as the lower arm—is the area between the wrist and the elbow. Following significant weight loss, some patients are left with excess, loose skin in this region that does not respond to diet or exercise. This can affect both the appearance of the arms and a patient’s confidence, particularly when wearing short sleeves or fitted clothing. For patients with moderate to severe forearm skin laxity, Dr. Agha has developed a specialized forearm reduction technique designed to safely and effectively address this concern. [.divider-lines]The procedure focuses on removing excess skin while preserving natural contours and function. The incision is carefully placed along the inner aspect of the forearm, where it is discreet and less visible—similar in concept to the incision used in an arm lift procedure. [] The goal of forearm reduction is to create a smoother, firmer, and more proportionate forearm shape while minimizing visible scarring. This procedure is often performed as part of a comprehensive post–weight loss body contouring plan and is tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. #### EDUCATOR PLASTIC SURGEON Dr. Agha is an industry leader. Whether it is your face, breasts, or body, over the past 20+ years, Dr. Agha has pioneered multiple While most plastic surgery techniques are designed for 2-dimensional correction, Dr. Agha has been working on creating contour and shape in the third element of dimension. His pioneered procedures include the high-definition tummy tuck, high-definition mommy makeover, dermal bra-suspension breast reshaping, and what he calls buttocks aug-shaping.

Our surgeons deliver results to elevate your aesthetic. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Cara Delevingne, Emilia Clarke, and Lily Collins — eyebrows are women’s current beauty obsession, thanks to these stars’ exquisitely groomed, bushy brow. Add that up to the countless makeup tutorials on YouTube teaching you how to get #browsonfleek all the time. But fabulous eyebrows would all be for naught if not positioned right where they’re supposed to be. Ideally, your eyebrows should be positioned about ½ inch above the supraorbital rim—the bony ridge forming your eye socket’s roof. Furthermore, the brow arch should be around two-thirds off the central part of your face or above your pupil. Eyebrows tend to sag and end up in a lower position on your forehead as you age. This causes wrinkles in your upper eyelids, giving them a hooded, drooping appearance. You may even find it annoying to put eye makeup on your lids because your drooping brows keep getting in the way. You’ll also notice forehead lines and wriknkes become more pronounced, including those little vertical furrows between your brows known as glabellar lines. [.divider-lines]**But thanks to the forehead lift, facial rejuvenation is a breeze. You can reposition your brows and eliminate those wrinkles and deep grooves in your forehead, taking years off of your face.[]** Dr. Siamak Agha of The One Plastic Surgery Center can transform you from being always grumpy to pleasant and happy. Here’s how our forehead brow lift in Newport Beach works. #### What is a Brow Lift (Also Known As Forehead Lift?) Also known as forehead lift surgery, the brow lift does two things: - It makes you look a lot younger by removing the frown lines, wrinkles, and deep grooves on your forehead. - It helps your face express your emotions better by raising and repositioning your drooping eyebrows. Aging makes your face’s skin and soft tissues lose elasticity, causing your brows to move down. It can also narrow the distance between your brows and eyelashes It’s the culprit why you appear to be always frowning and scowling even when you’re not. If such cases sound like your everyday reality, a Newport Beach brow lift might just be the solution you’re looking for. By raising the soft tissues and the skin on your forehead and brows, you can enjoy a more refreshed and pleasing appearance. Forehead lifts are a pretty popular anti-aging procedurebased on the [2022 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report by](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/documents/News/Statistics/2022/plastic-surgery-statistics-report-2022.pdf) American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). ASPS Member Surgeons performed a total of 13,318 forehead lift procedures during that year. **Fun Fact: ***Did you know that getting a forehead or brow lift is like a day out?

Expect some level of discomfort and itching during the first few days, but each day will be better than the previous one. Dr. Agha will give you oral medications to manage the pain. You’ll also have bruising and swelling that might last from 7-14 days. You might even observe swelling and bruising on areas of your face that weren’t operated on, like your eyes and cheeks, as blood pools in those areas. To minimize these, keep your head elevated with pillows for the first 3-4 days post-op while sleeping on your back. Apply ice packs to your operative site.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content For some, the eyes are the gateway to the soul. For others, a pair of luscious lips renders them speechless. But the demise of these irresistible features can be swift if poorly supported by perhaps the most understated area of the face – the forehead. Though foreheads and face shapes are not created equally, the ideal hairline should be 6 centimeters above the brows in females and 7 centimeters in males, beginning at the point where the scalp slopes from a horizontal position to a more vertical one. But not everyone is born with such luxuries. Those burdened by a high hairline and prominent forehead can often feel undesirable, as such forehead features can offset even the most captivating sapphire blue eyes. The face appears to be more elongated, and unnecessary attention is given to the forehead in lieu of other more attractive facial features. And as aging occurs and brows droop, a long forehead or high hairline can make you look a lot older than your actual age. [.divider-lines]Here in SoCal, forehead reduction is one of Dr. Agha’s specialties. As a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience, Dr. Agha employs a one-stage forehead reduction to help you achieve harmonious facial features so that people will notice how beautiful the rest of your face is and not just focus on your forehead.[] Below is a comprehensive overview of what forehead reduction is and how it can help you achieve a balanced, youthful, and more attractive facial structure. #### Why Should You Choose Dr. Agha for Your Forehead Reduction? As a board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Agha did his first forehead reduction in 2005, back when only a handful of plastic surgeons were offering this specialized surgery. Since then, he has performed many forehead reductions on patients traveling from overseas and out-of-state for this surgery. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Agha has now modified and developed his own technique. His signature forehead reduction is not like the standard hairline lowering procedure. Instead, it offers hairline lowering, forehead bone sculpting, and forehead lift — all done through a single incision. Dr. Agha also preserves many of your hair follicles at the time of surgery so that they can grow back and populate the incision site with your own hair. In this manner, the incision ends up well-covered, as if you never had forehead reduction at all. #### What is Forehead Reduction? Forehead reduction is a surgery that shortens the length of the forehead by lowering a high hairline. It is also known as hairline lowering surgery or foreheadplasty. It is a popular procedure for many women who want to [achieve a more feminine face](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/news/blog/facial-feminization-for-cisgender-women-with-masculine-looking-face). Ideally, a woman’s hairline should be 6 to 6.5 centimeters above the eyebrows, while it should be 7 to 7.5 centimeters for men. A hairline that’s too high puts your face out of proportion. A long forehead also makes your face look older than you are since the hairline is set further back, like an older person. And with aging, your brows tend to sag, making the distance between your hairline and brows even longer. With forehead reduction, the space between your brow line and hairline is typically decreased by about 2 centimeters or an inch, bringing balance and even spacing between your facial features. In the hands of an expert plastic surgeon with experience in forehead reduction, the procedure can offer a lot more than the standard hairline lowering surgery. Dr. Agha has been performing forehead reduction for the past 15 years, often doing three procedures through one incision: hairline lowering, forehead bone prominence correction, and [forehead lift surgery](https://www.plasticsurgeonnewportbeach.com/brow-forehead-lift/). Since so few plastic surgeons are specialized in this surgery, many of his patients travel from out-of-state or even overseas for this highly intricate surgery. #### How Does Dr. Agha Do a Forehead Reduction? As previously mentioned, patients who undergo forehead reduction basically have one of the following goals: - Get rid of a prominent forehead bone - Lower the hairline Dr. Agha considers his patient’s goals when performing the surgery, but his process typically hits these two birds with one stone. It’s also common for him to combine the forehead reduction with a [forehead lift](https://www.plasticsurgeonnewportbeach.com/brow-forehead-lift/) to fix drooping brows and alleviate forehead lines. Here’s a quick rundown of how he does it. Dr. Agha and his staff are great. They made me feel so welcomed the first day I came and Dr. Agha and Shireen were able to answer all my questions from forehead reduction to financial payments. I love the results of my procedure and feel a lot more confident with myself. -** Bridg** #### How Do You Recover from a Forehead Reduction? Read the [general information on recovery after facial surgery](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-face/). The recovery time is relatively short for a forehead reduction, so you can appear in public at about 2 weeks after your surgery with a lower and more symmetrical hairline. Typically, patients can go home on the same day of their surgery with a family member or friend to care for them. #### What Results Can You Expect from a Forehead Reduction? Forehead reduction is one of those surgeries where you’ll immediately see the results because your hair is combed downward. The operation is also usually combined with a [Newport Beach brow lift](/forehead-and-brow-lift-newport-beach/) to achieve optimal results in those with a high hairline and drooping brows, killing two birds with one stone. Right after forehead reduction, you can expect the following results: - Tightened forehead skin - Diminished wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead - More youthful-looking hairline - More feminine-looking facial shape - Scars easily covered by your new hairline - Increased hairline density resulting in fuller-looking hair - Aesthetically balanced and proportional facial appearance - Increased confidence and self-esteem Over time, the scar will fade and become unnoticeable to the naked eye, enabling you to finally feel more confident in your own skin and boast the forehead you were always destined to have. #### Forehead Reduction *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Forehead Reduction Done in Newport Beach, Orange County If bringing a balanced harmony to your face sounds appealing to you, then getting a Newport Beach forehead reduction can be a rewarding investment.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### A Defined Masculine Contour *Newport Beach Facelift for Men at The One Plastic Surgery Center* Time may carve lines into your face, but it doesn't have to define you. At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, Dr. Siamak Agha performs facelifts specifically designed for men, restoring a sharper, more vigorous appearance while keeping every result unmistakably masculine. #### WHY CHOOSE DR. AGHA FOR YOUR MALE FACELIFT? Male facelift surgery is truly different from female facelift, and not every surgeon who is skilled in one is equally skilled in the other. The anatomical differences are real, the incision planning is more complex, and the aesthetic target is different. A result that would look excellent on a woman can look off on a man if the surgeon has not approached the procedure with male anatomy specifically in mind. **Dr. Agha** brings both the technical foundation and the aesthetic sensibility that male facelift surgery demands. His training at the University of Cambridge and his seven-year plastic surgery residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center gave him a deep and precise understanding of facial anatomy across all patient types. His direct mentorship under Dr. Bryan Mendelson, one of the world's leading authorities on facial anatomy and facelift surgery, refined that understanding further. What distinguishes Dr. Agha's approach to male facelift surgery is his commitment to results that are masculine in character. He does not apply a single facelift philosophy to every patient. He approaches each man's face individually, with an understanding of what sharpness, definition, and structural restoration look like specifically on a male face. The result is a patient who looks significantly better without anyone being able to say why. Schedule your male facelift consultation at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach to find out what is possible for your face. #### A Tailored Approach to Rejuvenation *What is a Facelift for Men?* A facelift for men, medically known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses the visible signs of aging in the lower two-thirds of the face and neck. Through carefully placed incisions, Dr. Agha lifts the underlying facial tissues, tightens the deeper structural layers, and removes excess skin to produce a smoother, more defined jawline, reduced jowling, and a noticeably more youthful facial contour. **What is the difference between female and male facelift surgeries?** A male facelift is not simply a female facelift performed on a man. The anatomical differences are significant and require a meaningfully different surgical approach. Men typically have denser, heavier skin, a more prominent and angular jawline, greater facial vascularity, and the added consideration of beard-bearing skin. Incisions must be placed with precision to avoid distorting the hairline, sideburns, or beard distribution. Dr.Agha's approach to male facelift surgery respects and preserves these masculine characteristics at every step, ensuring results that look natural to the male face specifically, not just to faces in general. #### Enhance Your Look *What are the benefits of a facelift for men?* More men than ever are choosing facelift surgery, and the reasons are straightforward. In competitive professional environments and an increasingly image-conscious world, looking tired or older than you feel can have real consequences. A well-executed male facelift does not make you look like a different person. It makes you look like the best, most energized version of yourself. Results are long-lasting, the procedure is highly customizable, and when performed by a surgeon experienced in male anatomy, no one will be able to tell you had anything done. Specific benefits include: - **Reverse Signs of Aging: **Reduce jowling, tighten sagging skin along the neck and jawline, and smooth deep creases for a fresher, more rested appearance. - **Restore Definition: **Sharpen and define the jawline and neck contour for a stronger, more chiseled and distinctly masculine profile. - **Boost Confidence: **Look the way you feel.

It can reduce gender dysphoria. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content For trans men, gender dysphoria is often exacerbated by having full breasts. Considering how intertwined breasts are with the female form, imagine how it feels to look at yourself in the mirror and not see who you are inside. FTM top surgery addresses this dilemma. Also called subcutaneous mastectomy, FTM top surgery is characterized by removing breast tissues to create a chest similar to the male form. This can help trans men see themselves as their self-affirmed gender, combating gender dysphoria and boosting their self-esteem and confidence. Just like these people who have achieved their desired shape through liposuction and gained much-needed confidence to flaunt their bodies, you also have the chance to dramatically improve your figure, thanks to one of SoCal’s top board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Siamak Agha. #### What is FTM Top Surgery? Female-To-Male or FTM top surgery is an elective surgery that removes your breast tissue to make the chest look more manly. It also reduces the size of the areola to improve the aesthetic results. Depending on your anatomy, Dr. Agha may choose from various surgery techniques to perform the procedure. However, the decision to do so should be taken seriously. Not only will the procedure leave noticeable and permanent scars on the chest, but it’s also irreversible. #### Is FTM Top Surgery for You? Any trans man feeling that this surgery can improve their self-image can get it, regardless of the size of their breasts. Trans men who are in good health, are emotionally stable, have gender dysphoria, and have realistic expectations of the outcome of the surgery will benefit from FTM top surgery. But as with any major surgery, medical issues like comorbidities and blood clotting disorders may affect the results of your procedure. That’s why these must be addressed before going into surgery. The same applies to any mental health issues that the patient may have. It’s also important that you understand the risks associated with breast removal, such as: - Changes in sensation in the nipple-areola complex - Asymmetrical breasts - Skin discoloration or swelling - Nipple areola graft susceptibility to scrapes and injuries Dr. Agha will exercise due caution to minimize or eliminate these risks. Still, awareness of these risks can help you better manage your expectations and improve your satisfaction post-surgery. #### How is the Procedure Done? Based on Dr. Agha’s assessment of what will work best for you, he may choose from the following: #### Different Types of Gynecomastia Procedure #### Get Your FTM Top Surgery Done *at Los Angeles and Orange County* With FTM top surgery, you will achieve a more man-like silhouette.

AFTER WEIGHT LOSS ### Content Today, face and neck lifts are vastly improved over the same surgeries performed a decade ago. No longer are the face or neck “pulled back” as they used to be during these procedures. Dr. Agha believe that surgery should be done in such a way to leave people wondering why patients look so refreshed and youthful, as opposed to obvious over-done results of the past. In fact, the biggest compliment you can receive today following a face or neck lift is when an acquaintance thinks you look much improved, but cannot tell that you had plastic surgery. #### What Is The Difference Between Facial Aging *And Facial Sagging After Weight Loss?* Most over-weight people have large round faces and heavy necks. After significant weight loss, whether through weight loss surgery or diet and exercise, the skin of your face and neck will sag and cause you to look older than you really are. However, despite losing significant weight throughout your body, your face may retain some of the tell tale signs that you were once overweight. Even with a smaller frame, hanging skin along the sides of the jaw and under the chin are visible indications that those areas were once larger. This often detracts significantly from the joy of the weight loss success. Unlike ageing face where facial skin and tissue laxity are uniformly affected over the whole face and neck, the face and neck changes after significant weight loss are more unique and individual. Like the pattern of body skin laxity that develops after weight loss, facial laxity is also dependent on many factors including gender, highest weight, amount of lost weight, current weight, genetics, age, and other factors that affects facial skin quality (e.g. sun exposure, smoking, etc.). The typical patient experiences forehead and brow sagging, loss of cheek fullness, drooping facial skin, prominent nasolabial folds, sagging jowls, loss of jaw bone definitions, double chin, heavy neck, and a lot of loose neck skin. Overall, face lift and neck lift surgery after weight loss can help reverse many of the problems associated with major weight reduction, changes which cannot be achieved without plastic surgery. In our practice, many patients undergo face lift and neck lift surgery during or after their total body lift to regain self-confidence and improve their aesthetic appeal. While body lift procedures are often used to eliminate the issues that are brought about by excess skin in various areas on the body, [facelift surgery](/facelift-newport-beach/) restores the patient’s pride in their appearance. They can then enjoy their new body and youthful essence brought to their face. Face lift and neck lift surgery after weight loss is often similar to the average face lift technique that is performed for facial ageing. [Please see our Face section to learn more about Dr. Agha’s preferred Facelift technique](/facelift-newport-beach/). However, there are many elements of the procedures that are more extensive and customized. Most weight loss patients will have significant skin excess of both their face and neck. They will also have heavy necks with double chins. Some patient’s will have thin faces with lose of cheek fullness. Between these two extremes, there is a spectrum of individualized facial alterations. #### How Is Dr. Agha’s Facelift After Weight Loss Different *Than A Standard Facelift?* For our weight loss patient, Dr. Agha typically performs a full face and full neck lift surgery with the aim of removing as much loose skin as possible from both the neck and face. The procedure may start with liposuction of the submental area (under chin) and sometimes the neck to remove some remaining stubborn fat. Then a submental incision is made under the chin in order to tighten the platysma muscles of the neck and to correct for neck banding. The neck bands are then released at the midline. Dr. Agha then makes face lift and neck lift incision in front and behind the ear, extending into the hairline behind the ear. Through these incisions facial and neck skin are elevated over facial muscles and fascia. If the face is rounder and fuller, Dr. Agha will excise the excess lax facial connective tissue and fatty layer (known as fascia) and will tighten the facial fascia and muscle in a reductive manner (removing tissue to make the face thinner). In the thinner face, Dr. Agha folds and tightens the facial fascia on itself in an augmentative fashion (folding tissues on itself to bring volume to certain part of the upper face) using a series of sutures. In these patients, often some fat is also injected into the cheeks to make them fuller. The cheek fat pads are then lifted to a higher position with sutures. Next, Dr. Agha places multiple sutures to lift the neck upwards and backwards and secure it to the connective tissue fascia behind the ears. Following elevation and tightening of the facial structures and cheeks, the excess skin of the face and neck is then trimmed and the incisions are closed in front and behind the ears. The end result of a face and neck lift typically rids the patient of unsightly jowls, sagging cheeks, drooping nasolabial folds, neck bands, and will smooth out the overall appearance of the face and neck areas. --- ## Functional Rhinoplasty: When a Nose Job Is About More Than Looks **Link:** [Functional Rhinoplasty: When a Nose Job Is About More Than Looks](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/functional-rhinoplasty-breathing-and-appearance/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/functional-rhinoplasty-breathing-and-appearance/index.html.md)) **Description:** Functional rhinoplasty: when nose surgery addresses breathing problems from a deviated septum and what insurance typically covers. ### Content --- ## FUNCTIONAL RHINOPLASTY **Link:** [FUNCTIONAL RHINOPLASTY](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/functional-rhinoplasty-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/functional-rhinoplasty-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Functional rhinoplasty aims to improve the breathing functions of the nose to restore the patient's airways. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Rhinoplasty is one of the few plastic surgeries that can be used for both aesthetic and medical reasons. If you’re having difficulty breathing because of some functional deformity in your nose, you need to get functional nasal surgery or septoplasty. #### What is a Septoplasty? A septoplasty is a procedure that fixes a deviated septum. The septum is a structure made of cartilage and bone that divides the nasal passages into two. A majority of Americans have some degree of deviation within their septum, leading to functional consequences. In most cases, a deviated septum is due to genetic factors, but it may also be from a history of nasal trauma. #### Are You a Good Candidate for a Septoplasty? If you have a deviated septum, a septoplasty will definitely help you. You might experience any of the following signs: - **Difficulty breathing** through the nose - Nose that **always feels congested**, particularly on one side - A **runny** **nose** or postnasal drip - **Snoring** and preference for sleeping on one side of your body - History of **sinus infections** - **Nose bleeding**, which may be a sign of septum misalignment - **Headaches** and **facial pain** (less frequently) #### What are the Other Causes of Nasal Obstruction? While a deviated septum is the most common cause of nasal obstruction, a number of other factors must be considered when evaluating patients having a hard time breathing through their noses. #### What is the Difference Between a Septoplasty and a Rhinoplasty? A septoplasty involves straightening a crooked septum to correct nasal obstruction. While this is commonly done from an incision inside the nose, an open septoplasty is sometimes necessary to correct a deviated septum near the front or top of the nose. When a septoplasty is combined with changing the nose’s external appearance, this is called a septorhinoplasty. A cosmetic [rhinoplasty](/rhinoplasty-newport-beach/) is routinely combined with a septoplasty to improve the airway and use cartilage grafts from the septum. Dr. Siamak Agha is board-certified in both facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat). He has vast experience in both cosmetic and functional nasal surgery. He often combines these procedures to give patients a beautiful nose that functions well. When seeking a cosmetic rhinoplasty surgeon, it is important to seek someone who also has experience in functional nasal surgery. --- ## GENITAL BEAUTIFICATION **Link:** [GENITAL BEAUTIFICATION](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/genital-beautification-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/genital-beautification-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Genital beautification surgery can include liposuction, labiaplasty, as well as other non-surgical options. Learn more about your options here. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Although the female genital area is not always visible like other parts of the body, many women still feel deeply aware of its appearance. Concerns about intimate aesthetics are more common than most people realize. Women of all ages may feel uncomfortable about the way their genital area looks, especially when wearing certain clothing or during intimate moments. The truth is that there is no single “normal” appearance when it comes to female genital anatomy. Every woman’s genitalia is unique, with natural variations in size, shape, symmetry, and pigmentation. Despite these natural differences, many women still feel insecure about their intimate area because of personal preferences, societal expectations, or physical discomfort. For many women, dissatisfaction with the genital area may come from concerns such as asymmetrical labia, enlarged inner lips, or visible bulging when wearing tight clothing. These concerns may make some women feel uncomfortable wearing swimsuits, yoga pants, leggings, or lingerie. Others may even feel hesitant during intimate moments because they worry about how their partner might perceive their appearance. These feelings are more common than many people realize. Even though the female genital area is rarely discussed openly, many women share similar concerns about aesthetics, comfort, and confidence. [.divider-lines]**If you feel unhappy with the appearance of your genital area and would like to enhance both comfort and aesthetics, genital beautification in Newport Beach performed by Dr. Siamak Agha may provide a solution.

The term “genital beautification” refers to a group of cosmetic procedures designed to enhance the appearance and function of the female genitalia. Before exploring these individual procedures, it is important to understand the external anatomy of the female genitalia, which includes the following structures: Mons pubis – the hair-bearing area over the pubic bone located at the upper portion of the genital region Labia majora – also known as the outer lips, these are two thicker folds of skin that extend from the mons to the anus and contain pigmented skin, oil glands, and hair Labia minora – also known as the inner lips, these are smaller folds that protect the clitoris, urethral opening, and vaginal opening Clitoral hood – also known as the prepuce, located in the upper central portion of the genitalia, partially or fully covering the clitoris Clitoris – the primary source of female sexual pleasure, containing a high concentration of nerve endings Urethral orifice – the opening through which urine exits the body Vaginal orifice – the opening located below the urethral orifice that leads into the vaginal canal. According to Western aesthetic standards, the ideal external genitalia is often described as smooth, flat, and with minimal visibility of the labia minora. However, natural changes can occur over time. Aging, weight fluctuations, and childbirth can cause the external genitalia to stretch, enlarge, or lose volume. While these changes are not medically harmful, they can lead to physical discomfort and self-consciousness, particularly during intimacy or when wearing fitted clothing. Some women may also experience irritation or discomfort during activities such as exercise, cycling, or sexual intercourse. Dr. Siamak Agha offers a comprehensive range of genital beautification procedures tailored to each patient’s needs. These include labiaplasty, monsplasty, clitoral hoodectomy, and labia majora enhancement through reduction or fat transfer. Among these options, labiaplasty is the most commonly performed procedure. It focuses on reshaping the labia to create a more refined, balanced appearance, helping patients feel more confident and comfortable. In addition to aesthetic improvements, many of these procedures can also enhance function. For example, labiaplasty may reduce friction and irritation, allowing for more comfortable daily activities and improved sexual experience. Overall, genital beautification procedures are designed to address both aesthetic concerns and functional discomfort, helping patients feel more confident in their bodies. #### What are Your Genital Beautification Options? *Surgical Genital Beautification* #### What are the Different Labiaplasty Techniques? Among all genital beautification methods, labiaplasty is the most popular one. Though it can be performed using a number of techniques, there are two major labiaplasty techniques that your plastic surgeon can perform on you. Dr. Agha will recommend the best option for you depending on your anatomy and cosmetic concerns and preferences. #### Non-Surgical Genital Beautification *CO2 Fractional Laser* CO2 fractional laser is the primary non-surgical option for vaginal rejuvenation and tissue improvement. This treatment works by delivering controlled laser energy to the vaginal walls, creating microscopic micro-injuries that stimulate collagen regeneration. As new collagen forms, the tissue becomes thicker, firmer, more elastic, and better hydrated. CO2 laser treatments can also help improve vaginal pH balance, supporting overall vaginal health and reducing the risk of irritation or infection. Compared to radiofrequency treatments, CO2 laser primarily targets the superficial layers of tissue, which may result in a short healing period. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for a few days following treatment. For optimal results, a series of two to three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is typically recommended. Most patients can resume normal activities within one to three days, although intercourse should be avoided for several days during healing. #### How Does Dr. Agha Do Genital Beautification? All the genital beautification procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis at an ambulatory surgical facility or in-office surgical suite. With every procedure, Dr. Agha ensures that you get custom-made genitalia that matches your anatomy and preferences. Here is Dr. Agha’s process of performing genital beautification. #### How Do You Recover from Genital Beautification? Recovery after genital beautification varies by patient, but most women heal within about two weeks. Mild discomfort is common in the first few days and can be managed with oral medications. Swelling and bruising are expected during the first week and gradually improve over time. To support healing and prevent infection, apply Bacitracin antibiotic ointment to the incisions three to four times daily, followed by an ABD pad for the first two weeks. Sitting and urinating may feel uncomfortable early on, so rest is recommended, along with keeping your pelvis elevated to help reduce swelling. Cold compresses can be used for 20 to 30 minutes at a time to minimize pain, swelling, and bruising. Most patients return to work once they feel comfortable. Temporary numbness may occur, followed by tingling as sensation returns. Avoid tampons during the first few menstrual cycles to prevent irritation while healing. Scars typically fade within a few months and are well-concealed within the natural folds of the labia.

Gynecomastia surgery is a form of breast reduction for men to address gynecomastia. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content The chest refers to the area that covers the rib cage in the front. It typically spans from the collar bones (clavicles) all the way to the 12th rib and is separated in the midline by the breast bone (sternum) to left and right chest. The chest area can be arbitrarily broken down to the breast area, upper chest above the breast, lower chest below the mammary crease and the outer chest on the sides. Following weight loss, the fatty layer under the skin as well as the fat within the breast undergo shrinkage. This results in redundancy of the chest skin as well as breast skin envelope. Redundant excess chest skin is seen as horizontal and vertical laxity. Horizontal chest laxity causes skin and tissue excess under the armpits and over the outer chest. Vertical chest laxity affects mainly the breasts, causing breast sagging in both men and women. However, when the degree of weight loss is significant, vertical chest laxity presents itself as breast mound descent on the rib cage and loose mammary crease attachments.The loose tissue may also create a fold under the breast and over the upper abdomen. This tissue roll typically stretches towards the back and join the upper/ midback rolls. This is particularly common in V-shaped body structures where the upper body is larger than the lower body. In both men and women, breast deflation and sagging (breast ptosis) develops. These are classified according to the degree of severity in both genders. #### Dr. Agha’s Chest Deformity Classification: #### Correction of Chest Laxity And Breast Sagging Most weight loss patient’s typically present with Agha’s Chest Laxity Classification type 4 or 5. That means in addition to breast sagging (in both men and women), they also have outer chest and lower chest tissue excess. To tackle these changes, a number of procedures have been described by Dr. Agha and other plastic surgeons. In men with gynecomastia (excess breast gland), a horizontally-oriented elliptical excision of excess breast can lift the nipple areola on the chest while removing the excess breast tissue. Alternatively, the patient may end up with a curved incision at the breast crease, an anchor-type incision, or a horizontal incision on each side of the nipple areola. To learn more, please read our [gynecomastia section](/gynecomastia-surgery-newport-beach/). In women with breast sagging, in most cases, an anchor-type incision is needed to remove enough skin to lift the breasts and to make them rounder. This can be combined with breast implants, breast reduction, or neither. To learn more, please read our breast surgery section. For lower chest excess below the breasts as a roll of redundant loose skin, a reverse tummy tuck can be combined with the elliptical or anchor-type incisions excision to remove the additional skin laxity and to produce a smooth and tight chest contour. For excess outer chest skin, a vertically-oriented elliptical excision below the armpit, removes excess outer chest skin. This procedure was pioneered and named the J-upper body lift by Drs. Agha and Hurwitz. #### Correction of Chest Laxity And Breast Sagging Most weight loss patient’s typically present with Agha’s Chest Laxity Classification type 4 or 5.

Please read the [general information on recovery after breast surgery](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-breast/). Expect to experience some pain for the first 24 to 48 hours of your gynecomastia surgery. Dr. Agha will prescribe you with painkillers to treat your discomfort. You are encouraged to walk as early as the evening after your surgery to reduce chances of getting blood clots in your legs. When sleeping, make sure that you sleep on your back during the first week post-op to avoid putting pressure on your incisions. During this time, you should also avoid any activities that may raise your blood pressure as they may cause bleeding and blood accumulation. Some burning sensation may be present on your nipples for about two weeks, but this will eventually subside as swelling fades. Gently massaging the area will help ease it. The swelling will gradually subside in 3-5 weeks. You may return to work within a 5-10 days post-op, although that depends on the extend of the surgery, your condition and the level of activity required at work. Make sure that you protect your incisions against excessive force, abrasion, or motion. As for your scars, expect them to be firm and pink in about six weeks. You may have to wait for at least nine months before your scars lighten and level like the rest of your skin. To make sure that your scars heal well, protect it from the sun by wearing sunscreen with at least SPF 30 at all times. Remember that your two breasts can heal differently. One may swell more while the other may feel more uncomfortable. Even the shape and contour may initially differ. But rest assured that once your healing is completed, your breasts will look more symmetrical and natural.

Meet with Dr. Agha to learn about surgical and nonsurgical options. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Do you know one of the most common mistakes people make when trying to look younger? They focus entirely on their face. Many people invest in facial skincare products, cosmetic treatments, and anti-aging procedures for their face, yet overlook other areas of the body that can easily reveal their age. One of the most noticeable of these areas is the hands. Because the hands are constantly exposed to sunlight and used in everyday activities, they often show signs of aging earlier than other parts of the body. The skin on the hands is naturally thin and becomes even thinner with age. Over time, collagen and fat beneath the skin decrease, which can cause the hands to appear bony or hollow. As this happens, veins and tendons may become more visible. In addition, years of sun exposure can lead to age spots, pigmentation changes, fine lines, and dull skin texture. Even if your face appears youthful and refreshed, aging hands can sometimes reveal your true age. This is why hand rejuvenation has become an increasingly popular cosmetic treatment for patients who want their hands to match the youthful appearance of their face and overall body. [.divider-lines]**Fortunately, modern cosmetic treatments can effectively restore a smoother, fuller, and more youthful appearance to the hands.

The skin becomes thinner, fat volume decreases, and pigmentation changes may develop due to long-term sun exposure. Hand rejuvenation surgery refers to a group of cosmetic treatments designed to restore a more youthful appearance to the hands. These treatments focus on improving skin quality, restoring lost volume, and reducing visible signs of aging. Depending on a patient’s specific concerns, hand rejuvenation may involve a single treatment or a combination of procedures. Some treatments target pigmentation and sun damage, while others restore fullness to the back of the hands. Hand rejuvenation treatments can help: - Reduce the appearance of prominent veins on the back of the hands - Improve skin texture and smooth fine lines - Minimize age spots and pigmentation changes - Restore lost volume to create fuller, healthier-looking hands - Improve overall skin tone and brightness Because every patient ages differently, the best treatment approach depends on the individual condition of the hands. During consultation, Dr. Agha evaluates the skin quality, pigmentation, and volume of the hands to recommend the most effective treatment plan. Many patients choose hand rejuvenation because it offers noticeable improvement while still maintaining a natural appearance. By addressing multiple aging factors at once, these treatments help the hands appear healthier, smoother, and more youthful. #### What Hand Rejuvenation Treatments are Available? #### What are the Results of Hand Rejuvenation? Depending on the treatment or combination of treatments performed, hand rejuvenation can provide several noticeable improvements. Patients often experience: - Fuller and plumper hands - Reduced visibility of veins and tendons - Fewer age spots and pigmentation changes - Smoother skin texture - A more youthful and refreshed appearance Many patients report a significant improvement in the overall appearance of their hands. In many cases, patients notice up to an 80% improvement in visible signs of aging. Although some results appear immediately, the full improvement often becomes more noticeable as swelling subsides and the skin continues to regenerate. #### Recovery *How Do You Recover from Hand Rejuvenation?* Recovery from hand rejuvenation procedures is typically quick compared to more invasive cosmetic surgeries. Among the available treatments, fat transfer is the most involved procedure. However, even with fat grafting, patients are usually able to return home shortly after treatment. During fat transfer, a small amount of fat is harvested from another area of the body and injected into the hands through tiny incisions. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, recovery is generally straightforward. Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising in the treated areas for a few days. Keeping the hands elevated can help reduce swelling and promote healing. Following post-treatment instructions carefully is important for achieving the best results. #### General Instructions - Your hand may be wrapped with ACE bandages for support. - Bruising is common and typically temporary. - Most patients can return to work the next day. - No stitches are required for most treatments. - Pain medications may be used if necessary. - Elevating your hands can help reduce swelling. #### Get Your Hand Rejuvenation *at Newport Beach, Orange County* Hand rejuvenation can restore a smoother, healthier, and more youthful appearance to your hands.

HOW DOES IT WORK? ### Content Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy works by changing the physical environment in which oxygen is delivered. Instead of simply breathing more oxygen at normal atmospheric pressure, a patient breathes concentrated oxygen while the chamber pressure is increased. Higher pressure raises the partial pressure of oxygen and allows significantly more oxygen to dissolve into plasma and other body fluids. That increased dissolved oxygen can reach tissues through pathways that are not limited by hemoglobin alone. The result is a temporary state of hyperoxia that can influence tissue oxygen gradients, inflammation, cell signaling, collagen formation, angiogenesis, and oxygen-dependent immune activity. #### Normal Oxygen Delivery vs. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Under normal conditions, most oxygen in blood is carried by hemoglobin inside red blood cells. Hemoglobin is highly effective, but once it is close to fully saturated, simply breathing more oxygen produces only a limited increase in hemoglobin-bound oxygen. Hyperbaric pressure changes that equation by increasing the amount of oxygen physically dissolved in plasma. This is an application of Henry’s law: as the partial pressure of a gas increases, more of that gas can dissolve into a liquid. In practical terms, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases the amount of oxygen that can move through plasma toward tissues. #### Why Dissolved Plasma Oxygen Matters After injury or surgery, swelling and microvascular disruption can make local oxygen delivery less efficient. Because dissolved oxygen is carried in plasma, increasing plasma oxygen content can help maintain a stronger diffusion gradient from blood toward oxygen-stressed tissue. This does not repair a blocked artery or replace adequate blood flow, but it can temporarily increase oxygen availability while the body is healing. #### How Oxygen Helps Cells Repair Tissue Your cells need oxygen to make ATP, the energy they use to function and repair themselves. After surgery or injury, healing tissues need even more energy because the body is rebuilding damaged areas, producing collagen, creating new cells, and coordinating the healing response. When oxygen delivery is limited by swelling or changes in blood flow, those repair processes can slow down. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases the amount of oxygen available to the tissues, giving healing cells more of what they need to carry out their work. #### Fibroblasts, Collagen and Wound Strength **Fibroblasts are specialized cells that act like the body’s repair crew.** When tissue is injured, they move into the healing area and produce collagen, the protein that helps give healing skin and connective tissue strength and structure. Fibroblasts need adequate oxygen to do this work effectively. Oxygen is involved in several steps that allow newly produced collagen fibers to form strong connections with one another. As healing progresses, this collagen framework is reorganized and strengthened, helping the wound become more durable over time. This is one reason oxygen delivery matters after surgery. **Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases the amount of oxygen available to healing tissues**, which can help support fibroblast activity, collagen production, and the normal rebuilding and strengthening of injured tissue. #### Angiogenesis: Building New Microcirculation Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels. Repeated Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy exposures can influence growth-factor signaling involved in vascular development and tissue repair. Importantly, the biological response is not simply “more oxygen all the time.” Intermittent exposure appears to matter. #### White Blood Cells and Oxygen-Dependent Defense **Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that acts as one of the body’s first defenses against infection.** They use oxygen to create reactive molecules that help destroy bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases the amount of oxygen available to tissues, which can help support this oxygen-dependent immune activity. Higher oxygen levels can also make the environment less favorable for certain **anaerobic bacteria, meaning bacteria that grow best where little or no oxygen is present**. These effects are part of the reason Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can support the body’s natural defenses during healing and recovery. #### Why Pressure, Duration and Number of Sessions Matter Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a dose, not a binary on/off treatment. Pressure, oxygen concentration, session length, treatment frequency, and total number of exposures all change the biological stimulus. A study using 60 sessions at a defined protocol cannot be translated into a promise that a few sessions will produce the same cellular effect. At The One Plastic Surgery, the chamber can reach up to 2.0 ATA. Most surgical patients are encouraged to consider 90-minute sessions when recommended, but the protocol is individualized to the treatment goal.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Healing tissues need oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) increases the amount of oxygen available to the body by combining high-concentration oxygen with increased atmospheric pressure. At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, our hyperbaric chamber is capable of reaching 2.0 atmospheres absolute (ATA), allowing HBOT to be incorporated into individualized recovery and wellness plans when medically appropriate. HBOT is not simply “breathing extra oxygen.” Pressure changes how oxygen is transported. Under hyperbaric conditions, substantially more oxygen dissolves into plasma, the liquid portion of blood, increasing the amount that can reach tissues. The [Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS)](https://uhms.org/resources/featured-resources/hbo-indications.html) recognizes HBOT as an established treatment for a defined group of medical conditions, while researchers are also studying broader applications in surgery, recovery, aesthetics, and healthy aging. #### Why Oxygen Matters During Healing After tissue is injured, the body must build new cells, organize collagen, create new microvessels, manage inflammation, and defend the healing area against infection. All of those processes are influenced by oxygen availability. Research in wound physiology has long described oxygen as an important substrate for fibroblast activity, collagen formation, angiogenesis, and oxygen-dependent immune defenses. Hyperbaric therapy temporarily raises tissue oxygen levels beyond what can be achieved by breathing oxygen at normal atmospheric pressure. In damaged or swollen tissues where microcirculation may be less efficient, that increased oxygen gradient is one reason HBOT has become an important adjunct in wound care and a growing area of interest in surgical recovery. #### What HBOT May Support - Tissue oxygenation in areas stressed by injury, surgery, swelling, or impaired circulation - The biological processes involved in wound healing, including fibroblast activity, collagen formation, and angiogenesis - Management of selected compromised grafts and flaps, an established hyperbaric indication - Recovery after certain surgical procedures as an adjunct to standard postoperative care - Research-driven healthy-aging applications involving skin, vascular changes, telomeres, senescent cells, and cognition - Established medical indications such as decompression illness, carbon monoxide poisoning, delayed radiation injury, and selected difficult wounds For Medicare coverage purposes, the [Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)](https://www.cms.gov/medicare-coverage-database/view/ncd.aspx?ncdid=12) maintains a specific list of covered HBOT indications and requirements. Elective postoperative or wellness treatment is different from insurance-covered HBOT and should be evaluated separately. #### Our Medical-Grade 2.0 ATA HBOT Chamber in Newport Beach At The One Plastic Surgery, our medical-grade hyperbaric chamber can reach **2.0 ATA**, allowing patients to receive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at a pressure used in clinical hyperbaric medicine. The benefit of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy does not come from simply using the highest possible pressure. Treatment pressure is selected according to the purpose of therapy, the patient’s health, and the clinical protocol. At 2.0 ATA, increased atmospheric pressure allows substantially more oxygen to dissolve into the blood plasma and become available to tissues throughout the body. Our chamber also accommodates **up to two people** and is designed to provide a comfortable environment for treatments that commonly last about **60 or 90 minutes** for surgical patients when recommended by the clinical team. For a closer look at our chamber and why treatment pressure matters, visit **[2.0 ATA Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Newport Beach]**. #### Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Plastic Surgery Recovery Plastic surgery creates a temporary period of high metabolic demand in tissues. Incisions, swelling, tissue elevation, liposuction, and reconstructive maneuvers can all affect local circulation. HBOT is therefore being studied as an adjunct to aesthetic surgery, especially where surgeons want to optimize tissue oxygenation or where tissue viability is a concern. A [2023 facelift study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37529413/) and a [2024 aesthetic plastic-surgery cohort](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39507315/) reported favorable postoperative observations in patients receiving HBOT. A [2025 review of HBOT in aesthetic medicine](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39733047/) concluded that HBOT may have value as an adjunct in aesthetic surgery and rejuvenation while also emphasizing that the evidence base is still developing. #### Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Longevity and Anti-Aging Interest in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is expanding beyond wound healing and surgical recovery into **longevity, anti-aging, healthy aging, and biohacking**. Researchers are investigating whether repeated exposure to increased oxygen under pressure can influence measurable processes associated with biological aging. In one human study, an intensive 60-session Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy protocol was associated with **increased telomere length in several immune-cell populations and reductions in senescent T cells**, two markers closely associated with cellular aging. Another human study reported measurable changes in **skin-aging parameters, including vascular and structural characteristics**. These findings do not mean that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy stops aging. They do, however, help explain why it is attracting growing interest within **longevity and anti-aging medicine**, particularly as researchers continue to study biological age, cellular senescence, tissue regeneration, and other mechanisms associated with aging. Explore the research and potential applications in **[Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Longevity and Anti-Aging]**. Read the [telomere and senescent-cell study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33206062/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) and the [human skin-aging study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34784294/?utm_source=chatgpt.com). #### What Happens During a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Session? You enter the hyperbaric chamber and the pressure gradually increases. The most noticeable sensation is usually fullness or popping in the ears, similar to an airplane changing altitude. Once treatment pressure is reached, you simply breathe and relax. **Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes**, depending on your treatment plan. Because oxygen-rich environments require strict fire-safety controls, preparation matters. The [FDA’s 2025 HBOT safety communication](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/letters-health-care-providers/follow-instructions-safe-use-hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy-devices-letter-health-care-providers?utm_source=chatgpt.com) emphasizes manufacturer instructions, patient monitoring, staff training, equipment maintenance, appropriate clothing, and restrictions on potentially hazardous items inside HBOT devices.

The body must respond to surgical trauma, swelling, temporary changes in circulation, and the increased metabolic demands of tissue repair. Because oxygen plays a central role in wound healing, collagen production, immune activity, and the formation of new blood vessels, improving oxygen availability can be valuable throughout different stages of recovery. At The One Plastic Surgery, **Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may be incorporated before or after surgery** to support tissue oxygenation and create a more favorable healing environment when recommended by [Dr. Siamak Agha](/about-dr-siamak-agha/), Chelsea Zisek, PA-C, or the clinical team. It may be considered for patients undergoing facial surgery, extensive body-contouring procedures, liposuction and fat transfer, or other procedures where additional recovery support may be beneficial. The practice’s medical-grade chamber reaches up to **2.0 ATA**, increasing the amount of oxygen available to the blood and tissues under pressure. Rather than using one generic protocol for every patient, treatment timing is adjusted around the operation, the extent of surgery, patient mobility, healing progress, and individual clinical goals. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may be used proactively as part of recovery optimization or more selectively when tissue healing requires additional support. #### Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Before Plastic Surgery Pre-operative Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is designed around a simple idea: increase oxygen availability before the tissues undergo surgical stress. Research on [hyperbaric preconditioning](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24984322/) has explored how controlled hyperoxic exposures may influence antioxidant defenses, inflammatory signaling, and tissue tolerance to subsequent stress, although the exact clinical value varies by setting. At The One Plastic Surgery, pre-operative Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may be scheduled 1 to 5 days before surgery. A common pre-operative recommendation is 1 to 3 sessions, depending on the procedure and clinical recommendation. This is not required for every patient, but it gives the team an additional recovery-support option before more extensive surgery. - Support tissue oxygenation before surgery - Support the biological environment involved in collagen production and repair - Prepare patients for more extensive body or facial procedures when additional recovery support is considered useful - Integrate Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy into a broader surgical-preparation plan rather than treating it as an isolated wellness treatment #### Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy After Plastic Surgery After surgery, swelling, tissue manipulation, long incisions, liposuction, flap elevation, and changes in local circulation can all increase the metabolic demands placed on healing tissue. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases dissolved plasma oxygen and can raise oxygen availability in tissues even while swelling or temporary microcirculatory changes are present. The published aesthetic-surgery evidence is still developing, but it is no longer limited to theory. A [2023 facelift study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37529413/) reported shorter mean wound-healing time in the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy group, and a [2024 aesthetic-surgery cohort](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39507315/) reported favorable recovery observations and a low complication rate. A [2025 evidence-based review](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39733047/) concluded that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has potential as an adjunct in aesthetic medicine while emphasizing the need for stronger standardized trials. #### How The One Plastic Surgery Times Treatment After Surgery The timing is procedure-specific rather than arbitrary. According to the practice’s clinical protocol: - After facial procedures, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may begin as early as the day after surgery when the patient is cleared. - After lower-body procedures, treatment often begins around postoperative day 3 to 5, once the patient is sufficiently mobile and cleared by the clinical team. - Patients may undergo Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy while surgical drains are still in place when the clinical team determines it is appropriate. - Postoperative treatment commonly falls in the range of approximately 5 to 10 sessions. Smaller procedures may involve fewer sessions, while more comprehensive procedures may be directed toward the higher end of the range. - Most surgical patients are encouraged to consider 90-minute sessions when recommended. #### Why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy May Be Especially Relevant After Extensive Surgery Dr. Agha performs complex body contouring, [revision surgery](/revision-plastic-surgery/), breast reshaping, fat transfer, and facial procedures in which the amount of tissue affected can be very different from a small, isolated operation. At The One Plastic Surgery, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is particularly discussed for extensive body procedures, facial procedures, liposuction and fat transfer, and other situations where additional healing support may be beneficial. By increasing the amount of oxygen available to healing tissues, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may help support tissue repair, collagen production, new blood-vessel formation, swelling reduction, and the body’s natural defenses against infection. These effects help explain why treatment may be useful not only when healing problems develop, but also as part of a broader recovery plan after more extensive surgery. #### Flap-Based Procedures & Tissue Oxygenation *Why Dr. Agha’s Flap-Based Techniques Make Tissue Oxygenation Particularly Relevant* Several of Dr. Agha’s pioneered procedures use the patient’s own living tissue as structural support or augmentation. These include the [Internal Dermal Bra breast lift](/internal-bra-surgery/), breast autologous flap augmentation, and buttock lifting or augmentation with fat pads. Unlike injected fat, these tissue flaps remain connected to their own blood supply as they are repositioned, making healthy blood flow and oxygen delivery especially important during healing. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has an established role in helping support grafts and flaps when their blood supply becomes compromised. The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society recognizes Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for [compromised grafts and flaps](https://uhms.org/12-compromised-grafts-and-flaps.html), where increasing oxygen delivery can help support threatened tissue while circulation recovers. For Dr. Agha’s flap-based procedures, this makes Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy particularly relevant as an additional recovery tool. It may be incorporated when the clinical team believes greater tissue oxygenation could support healing, and it becomes especially valuable when there is concern about the blood supply or health of the repositioned tissue. Because treatment is considered in relation to the specific surgical technique and the way the tissue has been moved, this is very different from using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as a generic wellness treatment. #### What About Liposuction and Fat Transfer? Liposuction can create widespread tissue trauma, swelling, bruising, and inflammation across the treated areas. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases oxygen availability within the tissues and may be incorporated into recovery to help support tissue repair, reduce swelling and bruising, support inflammation recovery, and promote a more favorable healing environment after liposuction. Fat transfer adds another consideration. Once fat is transferred to a new area, the transplanted fat must establish a new blood supply in order to survive long term. Because oxygen delivery and the growth of new blood vessels are important to this process, researchers have also investigated whether Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may help support fat-graft survival. At The One Plastic Surgery, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may therefore be considered after [liposuction](/liposuction-newport-beach/) and fat-transfer procedures both to support recovery in the areas treated with liposuction and to optimize the healing environment in areas receiving transferred fat. #### Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Is an Addition to Recovery, Not a Replacement for It #### HBOT FAQs *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS* #### Research & References Sources and further reading: [UHMS — Compromised Grafts and Flaps](https://uhms.org/12-compromised-grafts-and-flaps.html) — Professional guidance distinguishing compromised flaps from normal, uncomplicated flaps.

Learn about if insurance coverage for plastic surgery after weight loss is an option for you. POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content Insurance carriers generally do not cover plastic surgery after weight loss. These procedures are considered elective and cosmetic in nature. Your carrier may however cover a certain percentage of your surgeries if you have **an abdominal wall hernia** that will be corrected through the procedure or a **very large abdominal pannus** that is associated with skin complications. Most insurance companies rightly so regard an abdominal hernia as a medical necessity and cover the cost associated with abdominal hernia repair. Coverage of abdominal pannus removal, known as panniculectomy, is assessed case by case and several criteria have to be met. #### What is a Panniculectomy? The presence of an overhanging pannus may result in skin irritations in the area under the pannus. The shear size of the pannus may result in chafing of the skin caused by repetitive friction at the site. Furthermore, sweating under the pannus may lead to further problems. These problems may include redness, malodor, rashes, ulcerations, tissue damage and infection. There may also be painful inflammation of the fatty tissue under the skin (panniculitis). When panniculitis is severe, it may interfere with the activities of daily living, such as personal hygiene, walking, and sports. In these situations, a panniculectomy is an effective procedure that removes the redundant pannus of skin and fat located in the lower abdominal area. Although the incision resembles that of a tummy tuck approach, there is no correction of the abdominal muscle laxity or removal of excess upper abdominal tissue. Panniculectomy is a functional procedure rather than a cosmetic correction. #### What is Needed for Insurance Coverage of Panniculectomy? Insurance companies may cover a panniculectomy when the following criteria exists: - Insurance companies typically will request a dated photograph of the pannus hanging over the pubis and of the pannus elevated to expose the chronic (lasting), persistent, and refractory skin infection or irritation. - Medical records from the treating primary care physician documenting skin irritation and/or infection that results in pain, ulceration, rash, redness, malodor, and/or panniculitis that is chronic, persistent, and unresponsive to medical treatment for at least 6 months. In addition to good hygiene practices, treatment should include topical antifungals, topical and/or systemic corticosteroids, and/or local or systemic antibiotics. - The pannus interferes with activities of daily living. #### What is an Abdominal Hernia? Abdominal hernias are defects or areas of weakness of the abdominal wall where a segment of intestine or fat passes through. Abdominal hernias are primarily due to genetics (i.e. the person was born with it) or increased abdominal pressure. Any factor, such as obesity or pregnancy can increase the intra-abdominal pressure and result in a hernia. On the other hand, weakness of the abdominal wall due to trauma, surgery, or genetics can also be responsible for a hernia. Common abdominal hernias are the umbilical and para-umbilical hernias and ventral hernias. The former are hernias of navel or around the navel. The latter are hernia of the abdomen that occur anywhere on the abdominal wall and are usually due previous surgery. Since hernias typically become bigger and bigger over time and can result in strangulation of a segment of the intestine, they should always be repaired electively before they become an emergency due to bowel strangulation and obstruction.

Renewed confidence awaits. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Get A Lift (Without the Straps) *Newport Beach Internal Bra at The One Plastic Surgery Center* Many women choose plastic surgery as a way to get breasts with improved shape and support. At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, CA, Dr. Siamak Agha, MD, PhD, FACS, our board-certified plastic surgeon is the co-pioneer of the Internal Dermal-Bra technique that uses your own dermis to create a natural internal bra to uphold your lifted breasts. This technique was created in 2005 by Dr. Siamak Agha and Dr. Peter Rubin as the dermal bra suspension breast lift and has been published in peer-reviewed journals and plastic surgery textbooks. Since 2005, Dr. Agha has been offering this natural internal bra breast lift to all his patients and has improved upon this revolutionary technique. Like a push-up bra built inside your body, the Internal Dermal-Bra surgical procedure keeps your breasts lifted and perky without having to use bras or other clothing for support - even with breast implants! Learn more about the innovative Internal Bra technique by scheduling a consultation at The One Plastic Surgery Center. #### Lift, Shape, Support Naturally *What is the Internal Bra technique?* As we age, Breasts change with time and sag progressively, leading many to seek breast implants or breast lift surgery. While breast implants make breasts larger, they do not result in a lifted breast. To correct for saggy breasts, a breast lift is needed. The standard breast lift procedures have two inherent problems: - They end up removing some breast tissue and making the breasts smaller. - They rely on the breast skin closure to support the breast tissue and thus do not last since there is no additional support. Enter the internal bra. While the internal bra concept has been around for years, most plastic surgeons use a synthetic mesh or an acellular matrix from a cadaver to support the lower breast with a foreign material. In 2005, Drs. Rubin and Agha described a revolutionary technique to use a natural internal bra from the connective tissue of your own breast (Dermal layer) to create a hammock to uplift the whole breast. This internal dermal bra is kept attached to the lower breast tissue and is a living part of the breast. Thus, unlike foreign materials, it poses a lower rate of complications and provides a natural and superior alternative to a mesh. It's ideal for enhancing perkiness and support, like an invisible push-up bra. The technique is advanced and takes a long time to learn and perfect, thus not many surgeons offer it. Dr. Agha’s internal bra surgery together with suture reshaping and breast suspension, is a comprehensive breast surgery procedure that lifts and supports breast tissue using internal support. Think of it as a permanent, built-in lift that enhances cleavage and creates a perkier appearance. In addition, Dr. Agha often reshapes the breasts, makes them narrower if needed, creates cleavage when desired, and projection. Dr. Agha’s innovative Internal Bra breast lift goes beyond traditional plastic surgery techniques by addressing breasts in three dimensions: width, height, and projection. This results in a more complete lift and a natural-looking, perkier outcome. In addition, this procedure does not reduce breast size. Your breasts can be kept the same size or even slightly augmented. By pulling the breast tissue together, this advanced breast reshaping procedure results in breasts that appear larger, fuller, higher, perkier, rounder, and projected but still natural and without any foreign material. #### Support from Within *What are the benefits of the Internal Bra?* Dr. Agha, a board-certified plastic surgeon, will personalize your internal bra breast lift treatment plan based on your unique needs and goals. #### The Innovative Dermal Bra Suspension Lift *Your Internal Bra Breast Surgery Consultation* At The One Plastic Surgery Center, we're proud to offer the advanced Internal Dermal Bra Breast Lift and reshaping technique pioneered by Dr. Siamak Agha and Dr. Rubin. This innovative breast lift approach has garnered recognition in the field and has even been featured in plastic surgery textbooks. Contact The One Plastic Surgery Center to learn more and schedule a plastic surgery consultation with Dr. Agha. He can discuss your goals and determine if the Internal Bra technique is your best option. #### All About Lift *The Internal Bra Technique* Here's a simplified breakdown of the key steps of the internal dermal bra breast lift. **Incision and Lifting: **Dr. Agha makes incisions similar to a traditional lift, gently separating the upper breast skin from the breast tissue. The lower breast skin, covering the breast tissue, is then made into a natural, internal dermal bra by removing the skin cells while preserving the collagen layer of the skin. **Lifting and Reshaping:** He strategically elevates your breast tissue to achieve the desired position and shape. The internal dermal bra is then sutured at a higher position like a hammock to support the lifted breast. **Internal Support: **Using internal sutures, Dr. Agha creates a supportive structure to hold the lifted tissue in place. **Refined Shape:** Additional sutures refine the breast shape, breast projection, and cleavage, and create a smoother contour. **Closure: **The remaining skin is carefully draped over the lifted and reshaped breasts. #### Emily's Post-Op *Dr. Agha performs the Internal Bra cosmetic breast surgery technique on an outpatient basis.* #### You at Your Finest *Internal Bra Procedure Results* The internal dermal bra technique adds three-dimensional form and projection to the lifted breasts. Healing is notably superior with the Internal Bra surgery due to minimizing pressure on incisions. This technique yields rounded, perky, and natural-looking breasts that feel and look great. #### Firm and Beautiful *Internal Bra Recovery and Aftercare* Recovery from the internal bra technique typically involves gradual improvement over several weeks. While initial results may be visible soon after surgery, final outcomes often manifest within a few months as swelling subsides. Most patients experience some level of discomfort after Internal Bra cosmetic breast surgery as the body recovers. Dr. Agha will provide detailed instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Patients should expect some downtime, with restrictions on strenuous activities for several weeks. It's crucial to follow post-operative instructions diligently, including avoiding heavy lifting and sleeping on the stomach. Proper incision care and scar prevention techniques, such as keeping the incisions clean and using scar-reducing treatments as advised by your surgeon, are essential for optimal healing. Long-term maintenance involves maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras to preserve results. Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, CA, will ensure your progress and address any concerns. #### Internal Bra *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Is a Mommy Makeover Safe to Do All at Once? **Link:** [Is a Mommy Makeover Safe to Do All at Once?](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/is-a-mommy-makeover-safe-to-do-all-at-once/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/is-a-mommy-makeover-safe-to-do-all-at-once/index.html.md)) **Description:** Is it safe to combine Mommy Makeover procedures?

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Wipe Out Your Wrinkles and Restore Your Youthful Face It’s undeniable that our skin loses its elasticity as we age, bringing about fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of skin aging. Cosmetic dermatologists have come up with various techniques to restore your skin’s youthful glow through the years. The fact is, if you want to maintain your fresh and youthful skin, you need to shell out considerable money for anti-aging products, supplements, and even facial cosmetic surgery. But going under the knife is not an option everyone is comfortable with. If you’re one of those people looking for a more cost-effective and non-invasive way to reverse the signs of aging on your skin, Juvederm® dermal fillers might be the best choice for you. Dr. Siamak Agha, one of the top board-certified plastic surgeons in Orange County, offers a wide range of fillers to help you get healthy, younger-looking skin. Continue reading this article to learn more about Juvederm® fillers. #### What is Juvederm®? Juvederm® is a family of injectable dermal fillers that contains hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that retains water in your skin, keeping your tissues well-lubricated. As time goes by, you start losing hyaluronic acid, causing your face to lose moisture and volume. It then leads to the development of the classic signs of aging, like jowls on the cheeks, deep wrinkles and fine lines, and skin elasticity loss. Juvederm® injections add temporary volume to the skin, resulting in a smoother and more youthful facial appearance. It can treat fine lines and wrinkles and plump up different areas of your face, such as the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds. These fillers are created using Hylacross technology, a unique manufacturing process that gives Juvederm a smooth, gel-like consistency, making it last for a long time. #### What are the Fillers in the Juvederm® Family? Juvederm® sports a variety of dermal fillers specially made to treat specific areas of the face. When choosing a type, cosmetic plastic surgeons and patients often consider the following qualities: - **G Prime (G’)** – refers to a filler’s elasticity or firmness, or its ability to retain its shape during movement. High G’ fillers can be used to lift and fill deeper lines and folds, while low G’ fillers are best for more delicate areas. - **Water Affinity** – describes a filler’s ability to retain moisture - **Hyaluronic Acid Concentration** – the higher it is, the thicker and more gel-like the consistency is - **Cohesivity** – refers to a filler’s ability to spread Check out the following filler types under the Juvederm® family. #### Juvederm® *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Kybella Double Chin Reduction **Link:** [Kybella Double Chin Reduction](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/kybella-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/kybella-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Kybella is an injectable treatment that reduces submental fat (also known as a double chin). NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### The Easy Way to Melt Your Double Chin and Other Stubborn Fat What do you notice first when you look at a person’s face? Perhaps it’s their eyes or nose that catch your eyes. Seldom does the chin stand out, even though it keeps one’s facial proportions and balance in check. But having a beautifully contoured chin without excess fat and sagging skin complements your other facial features, making them pop more. It also keeps you looking younger, unlike a double chin that makes you seem heavier than you are. According to a 2015 survey by the [American Society of Dermatologic Surgery](https://www.asds.net/), 67% of surveyed individuals are bothered by the excess fat and skin in their chin and neck. If you want to get rid of the fleshiness of your chin from different angles, then Kybella® injections can help you. Continue reading the rest of this article to find out more about Kybella® treatments and how The One Plastic Surgery Center can help you. #### What is Kybella? Kybella® is an injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under your chin, improving your neck profile. It doesn’t require any incisions, and the downtime is minimal in most cases. It’s the only treatment of its kind approved by the Food and Drug Administration that helps you get rid of submental fullness, more popularly known as a double chin. In fact, it is considered a non-surgical alternative to chin [liposuction](/liposuction-newport-beach/) or [CoolSculpting](/coolsculpting-newport-beach/). Regarding Kybella®’s efficacy, a [clinical trial](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5172481/) showed that 82.4% of the people who received the treatment were satisfied with their results. It also produced minimal discomfort and side effects, making it a safe procedure. Although it is not FDA-approved for other body areas, experts in the aesthetic field have been using Kybella® in other areas with stubborn fat pockets. Depending on the size of the area, Kybella® can be injected into areas such as the knees, axillary puffs or bra fat, jowls, banana rolls, and more. Make sure to see an experienced injector to determine if Kybella® is an option for whichever fat pockets you find bothersome. #### How Does Kybella Work? Kybella® contains an active ingredient called deoxycholic acid — a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. Its synthetic form is what’s included in the injections. Before the actual procedure, our nurse injector or physician assistant will examine you and mark the injection sites and administer a topical numbing agent or ice pack to minimize discomfort. They will then proceed with injecting the marked area with tiny droplets of Kybella® through 20 or more injections. Once injected into your double chin, Kybella® destroys your fat cells in the area, which are then metabolized by the body in the coming weeks. It results in a noticeable reduction in chin fullness. The destroyed fat cells can no longer store fat in the future, so you don’t need to undergo more treatments once you reach your desired profile. #### How Many Treatments and Injections Do You Need? The injection process usually takes only 15 to 20 minutes per session, with each session consisting of 20 or more small injections under your chin. It depends on the amount and distribution of fat under your chin and your aesthetic goals. The number of sessions each patient needs varies, but most patients get visible results right after two treatments, one month apart. #### Are You a Good Candidate for Kybella? If you feel unhappy, self-conscious, or embarrassed because of the presence of excess fat under your chin, you may want to consider getting Kybella® injectables. You have to be at least 18 years old with moderate fat under the chin to qualify for Kybella® treatments. Kybella® is great for people who are not too keen on the idea of getting surgical chin liposuction, as well as those whose double chin can’t be eliminated through traditional diet and exercise. You won’t be allowed to get Kybella® injections if you have an ongoing infection in your treatment area. Likewise, pregnant and breastfeeding women are not allowed to get Kybella® since it is not yet known if it can harm your unborn baby or pass through your breastmilk. #### Kybella Double Chin Reduction *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## LARGE VOLUME LIPOSUCTION **Link:** [LARGE VOLUME LIPOSUCTION](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/large-volume-liposuction-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/large-volume-liposuction-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Large volume liposuction can provide ample fat reduction to contour the body in specific areas. Schedule a high volume lipo appointment with us today! NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content One of the most common misconceptions about [liposuction ](/liposuction-newport-beach/)is that it can be a substitute for weight loss. More often than not, you need to reach your ideal weight first before getting liposuction, as this procedure is meant to trim away excess fat and fine-tune your body. But with all the recent advancements in plastic surgery, liposuction has evolved into an option for people of all shapes and sizes. It is now possible to safely remove a considerable amount of fat within a short period through large volume liposuction. Learn more about how large volume liposuction can help you as you read the rest of this post. #### What is Large Volume Liposuction? Basically speaking, large volume liposuction is the removal of a substantial volume of excess fat in one sitting. It can be done on various parts of the body, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, arms, and neck. But unlike regular liposuction, large volume liposuction can be recommended to overweight patients who are still in the process of losing weight. After all, the procedure can speed up the weight loss process, quickly helping patients feel more confident in their skin. In the United States, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has set the limit for large volume liposuction done in an ambulatory surgery center to only five liters of fat removal in one sitting. Anything more than this should be done in a hospital due to the increased risk of fluid shift. According to studies, large volume liposuction has long-term health benefits, such as improving cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic balance, and insulin resistance. #### Can You Remove More Than Five Liters of Fat? Theoretically, yes — more than five liters of fat can be removed at one time. However, you have to be monitored in a hospital for possible complications. To understand why such a thing isn’t advisable, it is crucial to know how large volume liposuction works. For every cubic centimeter of fat harvested, an equal or higher volume of tumescent fluid is first injected into the patient’s fatty tissues. Afterward, the fat is liposuctioned. Some of the tumescent fluid is removed together with the fat. Still, the rest is absorbed by the body, increasing the blood’s water level and altering the concentration of electrolytes in the bloodstream. Also, broken fat cells release certain electrolytes into the tissues. All these create fluid and electrolyte changes in the bloodstream, which can have an adverse effect on the cardiovascular system. There is also the risk of increased blood loss the higher the volume of fat removed, which is why the ASPS has set a limit to large volume liposuction, at least in ambulatory surgery centers. That said, not all physicians and plastic surgeons doing liposuction follow the recommendations of the ASPS. However, as a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Siamak Agha strictly adheres to the ASPS recommendations to avoid potential complications. He has performed large volume liposuction on many patients safely and without any difficulties over the past 15+ years. If any of Dr. Agha’s patients require more than five liters of fat removal, he breaks down the surgeries into two stages or more, at least 6-8 weeks apart for maximum safety. #### Is High Volume Liposuction for You? You can get large volume liposuction if you have a lot of excess fat in your body and you want to jump-start your weight loss journey. However, it is important to get a full medical evaluation first, as the presence of other medical problems like asthma and high blood pressure may cross you out as a candidate. Such conditions may increase your risk of developing complications. #### How Does the Large Volume Liposuction Recovery Process Happen? Regardless of how much fat is removed, recovery from large volume liposuction does not differ much from traditional liposuction recovery.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Fuller Lips. Natural Results *Lip Augmentation at The One Plastic Surgery Center* Full, well-defined lips are one of the most universally sought-after features in facial aesthetics. The lips sit at the heart of the lower face — beautifully shaped and proportioned lips signal youth, vitality, and attractiveness. Yet aging inevitably causes soft tissue loss, thinning the lips, flattening the cupid’s bow, and developing fine lines around the mouth that gradually steal the definition you once had. [.divider-lines]The ideal lip proportion is roughly [one-third upper lip to two-thirds lower lip ](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/313685971_The_Current_Preferred_Female_Lip_Ratio)— with a fuller lower lip being the most sought-after aesthetic today.[] Whether your lips have thinned with age or were always naturally thin, lip augmentation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Siamak Agha at The One Plastic Surgery Center offers the most effective and lasting solution for fuller, better-defined, and more youthful-looking lips. #### Why Choose Dr. Agha for Lip Augmentation? The lips are one of the most expressive and noticed features of the face — and one of the easiest procedures to get wrong. Overfilled lips, uneven borders, a loss of natural movement, or an implant that doesn’t sit correctly are all telltale signs of work that prioritized volume over artistry. Great lip augmentation, by contrast, is invisible. It looks like you — only with lips that are fuller, more defined, and more balanced. Dr. Agha’s approach to lip augmentation is rooted in the same philosophy that guides all of his facial work: results must serve the face as a whole, not just the feature being treated. The lips exist in relationship to the nose, the chin, the cheeks, and the overall facial proportions. A lip augmentation that ignores this context — that simply adds volume without considering how the lips interact with the rest of the face — almost always looks off, even if the patient can’t immediately say why. #### What is Lip Augmentation? To understand lip augmentation, it helps to understand lip anatomy. The lips consist of the upper and lower lip. The upper lip features the philtrum — the vertical groove that runs from the base of the nose down to the lip — and the cupid’s bow, the double curve at the lip’s upper edge. The lower lip sits below the mouth opening. The oral commissures are the corners where the upper and lower lips meet, and the vermillion border is the defined edge where the colored lip meets the surrounding skin. With age, the oral commissures begin to sag, the vermillion border thins and loses its crisp definition, and the cupid’s bow flattens — leaving lips that look thinner, less shapely, and less youthful. Lip augmentation — also called lip enhancement — restores lost volume, smooths fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, and improves overall lip shape and symmetry. It accounts for nearly [50% of all lip procedures performed among women 55 and over in the United States](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/documents/News/Statistics/2018/plaxstic-surgery-statistics-full-report-2018.pdf). Fuller, more balanced lips also contribute meaningfully to overall facial harmony. #### What are the Different Lip Augmentation Techniques? Several lip augmentation techniques are available, each suited to different goals, anatomy, and desired longevity. Injectable fillers are the most popular option — minimally invasive, with natural-looking results and minimal downtime. For patients seeking longer-lasting or permanent enhancement, surgical options are also available. Dr. Agha offers the following techniques: #### How Does Dr. Agha Do Lip Augmentation? Dr. Agha focuses on two techniques that consistently deliver the most natural and satisfying lip augmentation results: lip filler injections and lip implants. Each is performed with a meticulous attention to symmetry, proportion, and the individual anatomy of the patient’s lips and surrounding facial features. #### How Do You Recover from Lip Augmentation? Recovery from lip augmentation varies depending on the technique performed. Filler recovery is minimal — most patients resume normal activities within a few hours to one day, though some mild bruising and swelling at the injection site may linger for a few days. Cold compresses applied gently to the lips help manage any discomfort and reduce swelling in the first 24 to 48 hours. Lip implant recovery is slightly longer, typically three to four days before most daily activities can comfortably resume. Strenuous exercise and vigorous activity should be avoided in the initial recovery period. Regardless of the technique used, all lip products — lipstick, lip balm, gloss — should be avoided immediately following any lip augmentation procedure. Read the [general information on recovery after facial surgery](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-face/). #### What Results Can You Expect from Lip Augmentation? When lip augmentation is performed with the right technique and the right hands, the results look completely natural — lips that appear fuller and more defined, without looking overdone or artificial. After treatment, patients can expect: - Fuller, plumper lips with improved volume and shape - A more defined vermillion border and cupid’s bow - Softer fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth - Better symmetry and overall lip balance - Renewed confidence in your smile and appearance Hyaluronic acid filler results last anywhere from three months to one year depending on the product used and individual metabolism, with touch-up appointments needed to maintain volume over time. The temporary nature of fillers is also an advantage — results can be adjusted at each session, and fully reversed if ever needed. Fat transfer, lip implants, and lip lift procedures all produce long-lasting to permanent results. #### Lip Augmentation *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Lip Augmentation Done in Newport Beach, Orange County and Los Angeles --- ## Lip Augmentation Options Explained: Fillers, Fat Transfer, and Implants **Link:** [Lip Augmentation Options Explained: Fillers, Fat Transfer, and Implants](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/lip-augmentation-options-fillers-fat-transfer-implants/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/lip-augmentation-options-fillers-fat-transfer-implants/index.html.md)) **Description:** Lip augmentation options explained: comparing fillers, fat transfer, and implants to help you choose the right approach for fuller lips. ### Content --- ## LIP LIFT SURGERY **Link:** [LIP LIFT SURGERY](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/lip-lift-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/lip-lift-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Lip lift surgery can provide permanent fullness to thin lips. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Thanks to the growing popularity of fuller-looking lips, it’s highly likely that you’ve already heard about lip fillers and how they can augment your lips. But what if there’s a way you could permanently have those ideal lips without worrying about touch-ups later on? A lip lift is all you need to make your lips look fuller and more pronounced. It can add height to your lips, thus improving your lip contour and giving them a shape that fits your overall facial aesthetics. Learn more about the lip lift and how it can help you attain a more youthful face by reading the rest of this article #### What is a Lip Lift? A lip lift is a surgical procedure that reduces the length of the upper lip skin to improve the upper lip and mouth’s appearance. It does so by shortening the philtrum, the space between the nose and the top lip. It also increases the amount of visible pink tissue and the visibility of your upper central teeth when your lips are resting. Traditionally, lip lifts were performed on older patients with an elongated upper lip and lip volume loss. However, it can also be done if you just want to make your lips look fuller and add height to your lips. #### Lip Lift vs. Lip Fillers: What’s the Difference? A lip lift is a permanent surgical procedure that enhances the appearance of the upper lip. In most cases, this eliminates the need for lip filler. Lip augmentation with lip filler is a temporary treatment to increase volume and improve lip contour. In many cases, this filler can migrate to areas outside the injection region and create an unnatural appearance in the upper cutaneous lip. A lip filler may also need to be dissolved before a lip lift due to the risk of filler migration into the lip’s upper skin portion. #### What are the Lip Lift Techniques Done by Dr. Razfar? Although there’s a wide variety of lip lift techniques to choose from, Dr. Razfar focuses on two methods to give you the most natural-looking lips: deep plane lip lift and corner lip lift. #### How is a Deep Plane Lip Lift Different from Other Techniques? Traditional lip lift techniques done by other plastic surgeons, like the bullhorn lip lift and Italian lip lift, commonly use a subnasal incision with a skin-only excision. This often leads to unsightly scars, alterations in the nasal base, and unnatural results. On the other hand, the gullwing or direct lip lift places incisions directly above the lip’s vermilion border. This also leads to complications like unfavorable scarring, poor lip border aesthetics, and an unnatural appearance. Due to inadequate lateral release, many of these techniques exaggerate the central portion of the lip, also known as a central lip lift. With the deep plane technique, each lip lift can be customized to your specific anatomy, allowing a tension-free closure and nearly invisible scar. #### How Does Dr. Razfar Do a Lip Lift? A lip lift is generally performed under local anesthesia, with oral sedation in some cases. If it is combined with other procedures such as a facelift or rhinoplasty, the procedure will be performed under a deep IV sedation or general anesthesia. After a thorough evaluation and careful measurements, Dr. Razfar marks the skin to be removed. This is the most crucial step in the surgical process, as this is where customization is planned. He then removes the marked skin excision and elevates the deep SMAS layer, securing it to the deep structures within the nasal base. He then meticulously sutures the incision to complete the tension-free skin closure. If you require any other procedures, Dr. Razfar does it right after the lip lift. Examples of ancillary procedures include the corner lip lift, CO2 laser, and V-Y advancement. #### Why Should You Choose Dr. Razfar for Your Lip Lift? It is vital to seek a surgeon who understands the nuances of lip anatomy and aesthetics. And fortunately for people in Orange County and Los Angeles, [Dr. Razfar of The One Plastic Surgery Center](/about/meet-our-staff/) fits the bill. Dr. Razfar completed his residency in Head and Neck Surgery at the UCLA Medical Center, one of the country’s top programs. After residency, he completed a prestigious fellowship in Facial Plastic Surgery at the University of Michigan. Dr. Razfar has extensive experience in all aspects of advanced lip lift surgery. He is among the few surgeons in the country that utilizes the deep plane lip lift technique, producing more natural results. #### How Do You Recover from a Lip Lift? Read the [general information on recovery after facial surgery.](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-face/) In general, the overall healing time for a lip lift lasts about three months. Our technique has a longer recovery time but better results with a less complication rate. For a problem-free recovery, you have to follow Dr. Razfar’s instructions, such as the following. **General Instructions** - Avoid **sleeping on your** **face** or opening your mouth too wide. - **Moisturize your lips** to prevent dryness. - Use a **small toothbrush** and be gentle when brushing your teeth. - **Clean your incisions** following Dr. Razfar’s recommendations. #### Lip Lift *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Lip Lift Done in Orange County Interested in getting a lip lift for plumper and younger-looking lips?

Our board-certified surgeons utilize advanced liposuction techniques for comprehensive body contouring, targeting your midsection for a harmonious and refined silhouette. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content If you’re exploring options for a liposuction procedure that offers comprehensive results, Lipo 360 may provide the transformation you’re seeking. This procedure offers a unique, 360-degree approach to sculpting your figure by targeting the whole torso- front, back, and flanks simultaneously. At The One Plastic Surgery Center, Lipo 360 in Newport Beach is a comprehensive process led by our board-certified plastic surgeons. We provide you with all the information you need so you have the agency to make the best decisions for your body as you pursue your aesthetic goals. Lipo 360 is a comprehensive body contouring cosmetic surgery procedure. It targets the entire midsection for enhanced natural contours. The removal of unwanted fat from the abdomen, back, and flanks together leads to a harmonious body shape. Unlike area-by-area liposuction, Lipo 360 offers a holistic improvement by treating multiple areas. The abdomen, hips, waist, back, and love handles can be targeted in one procedure, providing dramatic results and a full-circle transformation. The success of Lipo 360 depends on the post-procedure lifestyle. Patients need to maintain a stable weight, pursue healthy habits, and understand that the procedure isn’t a solution for obesity but a technique to address stubborn fat deposits for a balanced figure. #### A Full-Circle Transformation *What Is Lipo 360?* The Lipo 360 cosmetic procedure is more than a simple liposuction. It represents a comprehensive reshaping of the figure. It targets the full circumference of the midsection, including the front, sides, and back, offering an all-encompassing contour enhancement not provided by traditional liposuction methods. Imagine having sleeker flank areas and a smoother abdomen without any bulges or rolls at your back—all contributing to a significant alteration in bodily contours. This technique boasts its capability to: - Extract between six to eight pounds of excess fat - Achieve an overall balanced silhouette - Boost personal confidence by creating svelte abdominal lines and minimizing unwanted fat accumulations During recovery, most patients are able to resume their normal activities or light exercise within one week of the procedure. Wearing a compression garment for three to six months is essential for supporting healing and preserving the new body silhouette. The effects of Lipo 360 start becoming evident, with about 80%- 90% visibility around six weeks after surgery. Achieving full results can take up to half a year. It’s important to note that Lipo 360 isn’t designed as weight loss surgery. Rather, this body contouring treatment is meant specifically for removing pockets of stubborn fat that may not respond well to weight loss efforts alone. #### A Sculpted Work of Art *Benefits of Lipo 360* Although a larger and longer surgery, the effects of lipo 360 warrant its use for suitable patients. These include: - A more comprehensive liposuction of the front, sides, and back produces a more balanced outcome. Unlike liposuction of the front or back, lipo 360 treats the whole patient, not parts of the patient. - This procedure results in an even spread of body fat on the front, sides and back. Thus future weight gains or weight loss will affect the results less since the spread of the body fat under the skin is more even. - Since a larger surface area of the patient and skin are being liposuctioned, a larger degree of skin contraction and shrinkage will ensue. This will result in less skin laxity after liposuction and thus a smoother contour. - Lipo 360 is an effective approach to creating curves, hourglass contours, and a sculpted body that signifies well-being and health. #### Better By Design *Why Choose The One Plastic Surgery Center for Liposuction 360?* The One Plastic Surgery Center have achieved acclaim due to their cutting-edge approach to performing Liposuction 360. They integrate the use of VASER technology along with power-assisted liposuction for comprehensive and effective fat removal as part of Lipo 360 procedures. The application of ultrasound energy by VASER helps to liquefy fat prior to its extraction, enabling more targeted and gentle elimination for an easier recovery period and enhanced body shaping outcome, This advanced technique focuses on sculpting the entire midsection, efficiently targeting fat across the abdomen, hips, waist, back, chest and love handles. The result is more balanced and naturally sculpted body contours with significant visual improvements. Lipo 360 caters to those who are seeking: - A more refined physique - Increased self-esteem via improved body shape - Solutions for persistent and troublesome areas of fat - A proportionately sculpted figure At The One Plastic Surgery Center, our surgeons are board-certified and possess a wealth of expertise in performing this advanced liposuction technique. Their deep understanding of body aesthetics combined with their technical skill ensures that your Lipo 360 procedure is tailored to your unique shape, promoting a more refined physique and boosting self-confidence. #### Beginning Your Lipo 360 Journey #### A Well-Rounded Future *How long do Lipo 360 results last?* The persistence of Liposuction 360 outcomes largely depends on the patient maintaining a lifestyle conducive to health after the surgery. Although this procedure results in an even spread of body fat, which can enhance and stabilize body contouring—even with future changes in weight—it should not be considered a method for losing weight or combating obesity. A healthy lifestyle that encompasses both diet and exercise plays a critical role in sustaining the results of Lipo 360. While fat cells are removed forever from specific areas, without ongoing healthy practices, adjacent fat cells may grow larger, compromising the result. #### Lipo 360 *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## LIPOSHIFTING **Link:** [LIPOSHIFTING](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/liposhifting-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/liposhifting-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Liposhifting can help re-contour previously liposuctioned areas that may have contour irregularities. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Sometimes, things don’t always work out the way you want them to. That includes your [liposuction,](/liposuction-newport-beach/) which you thought would eliminate all those unwanted fat deposits in your body. Perhaps it has made your skin look bumpy or wavy instead of smooth. Maybe you went for a touch-up, but the results ended up getting worse. Or, as in most cases, you chose a cosmetic surgeon without doing prior research, hence ending up with less-than-satisfactory results. After all, not all cosmetic surgeons are plastic surgeons, and many are not board-certified in plastic surgery. Fortunately, you can get a revision lipoplasty in the form of liposhifting. An innovative technique for corrective liposuction, liposhifting can safely enhance your liposuction irregularities so that you may get the results you want — a slimmer and more sculpted body minus the unsightly bulges. Continue reading this post to learn more about liposhifting done by Dr. Siamak Agha, one of SoCal’s premier plastic surgeons. [View Gallery](/gallery/body/liposuction-before-and-after-photos/) #### Who Needs Revision Lipoplasty? If you have experienced contour irregularities after liposuction, then revision lipoplasty may be a great option to improve your results. Contour irregularities are areas of wavy contour that result from uneven liposuction. An area may have too much fat in one region and too little fat in another region next to it. Sometimes, some regions are liposuctioned too much, resulting in indentations. Internal scarring under the skin after liposuction can also worsen contour irregularities. Contour irregularities are commonly seen after laser liposuction due to the uneven fat destruction and internal scarring that this liposuction technique results in. That is why Dr. Agha does not offer laser liposuction but has corrected many patients who have experienced contour irregularities after this. #### How Does Dr. Agha Correct Contour Irregularities? As an expert body contouring surgeon, Dr. Agha starts every revision case with examining the patient and understanding the problem. He then plans a corrective surgery that may entail several procedures: - If you have areas with significant fat excess or bulges, he may suction away some or most of the excess fat. - If you have areas of significant depression and indentation, fat transfer to these areas may be needed. - If the contour irregularities are due to internal scarring, the scars need to be broken so that a smoother contour can be created. - If there are areas of uneven fat distribution, liposhifting may be needed to treat the whole treated area. For most patients, a combination of all these procedures may be required. #### How Is Liposhifting Done? *Dr. Agha’s liposhifting technique usually consists of five steps, which are as follows:* #### Get Your Liposhifting Done in Newport Beach, Orange County If you want to get rid of the skin irregularities you experienced after your liposuction, you might want to consider liposhifting. It is an extremely safe method of transplanting fat to areas that need it as it does not expose the fat to air. **Ensure that you choose a highly-trained, experienced, and board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Agha for the best results.** --- ## LIPOSUCTION & LIPOSCULPTING **Link:** [LIPOSUCTION & LIPOSCULPTING](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/liposuction-and-liposculpting-post-bariatric/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/liposuction-and-liposculpting-post-bariatric/index.html.md)) **Description:** Liposuction, also known as liposculpting, surgery can be used to remove pockets of fat and contour the body. POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content In general, the majority of weight loss patients are not suitable candidates for liposuction **by itself only**. They already have loose saggy skin after significant weight loss and additional liposuction will only make their skin even more loose and saggy. However this does not mean that they can not benefit from liposuction to contour and shape their body. However, this lipocontouring and liposhaping should only be done when the excess skin is to be removed- immediately or at a later stage. While many surgeons can perform body lift surgeries, few combine a body lift with liposculpting. Body lift surgeries are designed to remove excess skin and provide a more taut appearance. They do not normally involve much liposuctioning or liposculpting. However, Dr. Agha believes that the best time to sculpt a new body is while a patient is having a body lift at the same time. Any skin laxity that is created by liposuction, is immediately corrected during the concomitant body lift. Dr. Agha typically performs liposuction of multiple areas during his hi-def lower body lift as needed. Areas that can be safely liposuctioned to enhance the ultimate result include: waistlines, flanks, thighs, saddlebags, inner knees, and upper body – where liposuction can help to create a more hourglass figure. During an upper body lift, Dr. Agha also uses liposuction to remove excess upper body bulges, elbow fat, axillary puff fat, or any area that may benefit from having a smoother contour before the loose skin is excised. [Liposuction](/liposuction-newport-beach/) is also used to obtain donor fat from one area of the body for transfer into another region during a fat transfer companion procedure. If the body lift patient has elected to have concurrent [buttock fat transfer](/buttock-enhancement-newport-beach/) or [breast fat transfer](/breast-fat-transfer-newport-beach/), liposuction is used to obtain fat for these purposes. The donor site may be an area that will be excised with the surgery. For example, the lower abdomen carries a good amount of fat that can be liposuctioned before a tummy tuck. The tummy tuck then removes the area that was just liposuctioned. In this manner, additional fat is harvested before the tissue is removed and thrown away. The fat can then be used for fat transfer during the same surgery to enhance buttocks or breasts. Finally, Dr. Agha employs liposuction for many to improve symmetry. Many individuals have uneven shape from one side of the body to the other. Liposuction can improve symmetry and bring more balance to the final shape of the body.

[View Gallery](/gallery/body/liposuction-before-and-after-photos/) #### Redefine Your Curves Getting rid of stubborn fat is perhaps one of the biggest frustrations of countless men and women all over the world. Women want to sport the ideal hourglass figure, but there’s just that slight muffin top, noticeable saddlebag, or too-obvious back roll that ruins it. Men want to look trim and athletic, with broad shoulders, a flat abdomen, and a narrow thigh-hip area, but unwanted fat may accumulate in the abdomen, love handles, and breast area. Achieving the perfect figure requires having just the right amount of fat deposits in the right places. While diet and exercise are the best ways to get rid of fat, most of the time, they are unable to target all your desired areas. You might even look slim and be within your normal weight, but those stubborn fatty deposits make you fall short of your dream body as they settle on your upper back, love handles, or saddlebags. That’s why people get frustrated with diet and exercise as they don’t get the results they want. Fortunately, liposuction can help you refine those stubborn fat areas regardless of your weight, giving you the last push you need to achieve your dream body. Also known as “lipoplasty” or “suction lipectomy,” liposuction is highly effective in sculpting your body and removing fat in certain areas. Although it’s no substitute for diet and exercise, it can surely fast-track the attainment of your body goals. No wonder liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the United States, with more than [265,000 Americans](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/plasticsurgerycal.com/files/plastic-surgery-statistics-full-report-2019.pdf) undergoing this procedure in 2019 alone according to the [American Society of Plastic Surgeons](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/). In fact, annual figures show 200,000 to 300,000 liposuctions performed every year. #### Target Stubborn Fat *What is Liposuction?* Even if you’re physically fit and you work hard to maintain your body, it might be impossible to lose stubborn fat in certain areas of your body due to genetics. As such, you might have disproportionate bulges, no thanks to localized fat deposits you can’t seem to get rid of. Liposuction helps trim these excess fat deposits, revealing a more desirable, defined, and balanced figure. It is a powerful way of removing fat that’s resistant to traditional weight loss measures like diet and exercise. #### A Sculpted Work of Art *Liposuction vs. Liposculpture: What’s the Difference?* Liposuction and liposculpture both deal with fat removal. However, liposuction concerns itself with removing fat in the deep layers of the skin, while liposculpture removes fat in the superficial layer once the deep fat is removed. Moreover, liposculpture goes the extra mile by offering more extensive contouring of the target area through removal and reshaping of fat deposits. Thus, it can enhance the definition of your muscles and give you a more toned shape, especially on your torso region. While most areas can undergo liposuction, liposculpture is best suited for fat on your arms, chest, back, and abdomen. A good example of liposculpture is high-definition liposuction by VASER. This device uses ultrasound to liquefy the superficial fat cells from under the skin to create definition or to etch the contour. Another example of liposculpture is abdominal etching, which creates six-pack abs by removing fatty deposits in such a way that it shapes and molds the abdominal wall, making the ab muscles look more prominent. Make sure that you choose a skilled plastic surgeon to do your liposculpture so that you end up with natural-looking contours. #### Exploring Liposuction Options *What are the Different Liposuction Techniques?* With liposuction being one of the most common plastic surgery procedures in the world, it’s no surprise that numerous liposuction techniques have been developed over the years. Here are some of the liposuction techniques you may encounter. The liposuction really sculpted my butt, so it looks like I got a Brazilian butt lift. This was probably the best thing I’ve ever done for myself, and I would highly recommend Dr. Agha to anyone looking for body contouring! — Lara R. #### Your Liposuction Journey *Your Liposuction Consultation* What Should You Expect During a Liposuction Surgery Consultation? During your consultation, Dr. Agha will discuss your concerns, priorities, and motivations for liposuction. After a thorough medical history, Dr. Agha will assess you for: - Stubborn areas of fatty excess - Amount of excess fat - Overall body contour and proportion - Skin elasticity - Skin quality - Skin laxity - Any signs of skin damage, like stretch marks He will then give you information on your liposuction options and appropriate plan of action that best suits your anatomy and meets your desires and expectations.Other things that will be discussed include potential risks and complications and estimated cost.. You will also be asked to obtain specific lab tests and medical evaluation, take or adjust certain medications, and avoid taking aspirin, herbal supplements, and anti-inflammatory drugs that might increase your chances of bleeding. Smokers will be asked to quit at least three weeks before liposuction and remain smoke-free three weeks post-op to avoid any delays in the healing process. #### Liposuction for Targeted Body Shaping *Your Liposuction Surgery* **How Does Dr. Agha Perform Liposuction? **On the day of your surgery, Dr. Agha will mark areas of your body that have excess bulge and have been planned by both of you to undergo liposuction. #### A Smoother, More Confident You *Liposuction Recovery and Aftercare* **How Do You Recover from Liposuction?** Your liposuction recovery time depends on how much fat was removed and how many areas were liposuctioned. Up to 5 liters of fat can be safely removed in a day in a surgery center. However, if more than 5 liters of fat is liposuctioned, you may have to stay overnight in a hospital to be monitored. **Fluid Drainage-** Do not be alarmed when blood-tinged injected tumescent fluid oozes from the sites of liposuction. This is normal and usually stops within the first day. Your surgeon leaves tiny liposuctions incisions open so that the injected tumescent fluid leaks out, thereby minimizing bruising. You should cover your bed to avoid staining from this fluid. **Garment-** Following liposuction, you should plan to wear a compression garment 24 hours a day for 4-6 weeks. This will help to reduce bruising and swelling as well as skin retraction and helps to shape your body. When cleared for showering, you may remove your garment to take a shower. The first time that you remove your garment you will feel faint, which is normal. Have someone with you at that time. After your first shower you need to apply Vaseline or heavy lotion all over liposuctioned areas to alleviate the itchiness that is caused by the skin-drying effects of liposuction. This is a good time for you to start massaging the liposuctioned areas. You should massage these areas gently three times per day for about six weeks. **Massaging: **Start massaging the liposuctioned area with a roller or a soft ball to reduce swelling and smoothen out the contour. #### A Slimmer, More Confident You *Liposuction Results* Immediately after liposuction, you will have: - A slimmer, more sculpted body - Less unwanted bulges - More appealing body proportions and contours - Clothes that now fit and look better on you - Improved self-image Although you will see results immediately after your procedure, this only gets better as swelling improves. By 12 weeks, most of the swelling is resolved, and you can appreciate your final results. However, take note that liposuction isn’t a substitute for proper diet and exercise. You still have to watch your weight to maintain your improved physique. **What Results Can You Expect from Liposuction?** As mentioned before, liposuction permanently removes fat cells. Areas where liposuction was performed won’t expand anymore, although untreated areas can still accumulate fat deposits. Liposuction also doesn’t change your skin elasticity or muscle tone at all. That’s why younger patients who still have firm and elastic skin tend to have better results than their older counterparts. #### Liposuction *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Liposuction Done in Newport Beach, Orange County Liposuction can give you a slimmer and more defined figure, helping you achieve the body that you’ve always wanted. **To get the best results, choose a topnotch and board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Agha.** He can help you plan your liposuction based on your physique and expectations. --- ## LIPOSUCTION TUMMY TUCK **Link:** [LIPOSUCTION TUMMY TUCK](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/liposuction-tummy-tuck-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/liposuction-tummy-tuck-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Flatter, slimmer abdomen with lipo-abdominoplasty by Dr. Siamak Agha, MD, PhD, FACS—advanced liposuction with tummy tuck for safe, natural results. NEWPORT BEACH ### Content #### Liposuction Tummy Tuck (Lipo-Abdominoplasty) *By Dr. Siamak Agha* **Lipo-abdominoplasty**, is an advanced body contouring procedure designed to create a flatter, slimmer, and more sculpted abdomen. This modern surgical technique combines the skin-tightening benefits of a traditional tummy tuck with extensive, carefully performed liposuction to achieve superior aesthetic results. **Dr. Siamak Agha**, a board-certified plastic surgeon and nationally recognized expert in advanced body contouring, is known for his mastery of high-definition tummy tuck surgery and lipo-abdominoplasty. His refined approach allows patients to achieve dramatic yet natural-looking abdominal contouring with a strong emphasis on safety, circulation preservation, and long-term results. #### WHAT IS A LIPOSUCTION TUMMY TUCK? A liposuction tummy tuck is an enhanced form of abdominoplasty that removes **excess abdominal skin, tightens the abdominal muscles, and significantly thins the fat layer over the abdomen**. Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, which focuses primarily on skin removal, lipo-abdominoplasty addresses both **excess skin and underlying fat**, resulting in a smoother, flatter, and more contoured midsection. This technique was originally described by Brazilian plastic surgeon **Dr. Saldanha** and has since evolved through the work of highly skilled surgeons, who has refined the procedure to maximize results while maintaining safe blood supply to the abdominal skin. #### HOW LIPO-ABDOMINOPLASTY DIFFERS FROM A TRADITIONAL TUMMY TUCK In a standard tummy tuck, liposuction is usually limited to the hips and waist to avoid damaging important abdominal blood vessels. As a result, patients with a **thick fatty layer over the abdominal muscles** may still appear bulky after surgery. A liposuction tummy tuck allows for: - More extensive liposuction of the abdominal area - Thinning of bulky abdominal tissue - Improved waist definition and contour - Enhanced abdominal flatness and definition By preserving key perforating blood vessels, **Dr. Siamak Agha can safely perform aggressive yet controlled liposuction**, leading to better contouring and improved healing. #### WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A LIPOSUCTION TUMMY TUCK? Not every patient needs a lipo-abdominoplasty. Many patients achieve excellent results with a **high-definition tummy tuck and waist liposuction** alone. However, a liposuction tummy tuck is ideal for patients who: - Have loose or stretched abdominal skin - Have a thick or bulky fat layer over the abdominal muscles - Desire a flatter, thinner, more sculpted abdomen - Are in good overall health - Have realistic expectations During a personalized consultation, **Dr. Agha carefully evaluates each patient’s anatomy,** skin quality, and fat distribution to determine the most effective surgical approach. #### How is a Liposuction Tummy Tuck Performed?

Swelling gradually subsides over several weeks, with final results becoming more visible over time. With proper postoperative care and a stable weight, results from a liposuction tummy tuck can be long-lasting and transformative. --- ## Long-Term Results: How a Tummy Tuck Improves Core Strength and Contour **Link:** [Long-Term Results: How a Tummy Tuck Improves Core Strength and Contour](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/long-term-results-tummy-tuck-improves-core-strength-contour/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/long-term-results-tummy-tuck-improves-core-strength-contour/index.html.md)) **Description:** Discover how a tummy tuck delivers long-term improvements in core strength, posture, and abdominal contour with Dr. Siamak Agha in Newport Beach. ### Content --- ## Loose Skin After Rapid Weight Loss: Why It Happens **Link:** [Loose Skin After Rapid Weight Loss: Why It Happens](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/loose-skin-after-rapid-weight-loss-why-it-happens/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/loose-skin-after-rapid-weight-loss-why-it-happens/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn why loose skin happens after rapid weight loss and explore treatment options to restore natural contours and confidence. ### Content --- ## Lower Body Lift **Link:** [Lower Body Lift](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/lower-body-lift-medium-patients/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/lower-body-lift-medium-patients/index.html.md)) **Description:** Explore Dr. Agha’s High-Definition Lower Body Lift™ results for petite patients seeking smoother contours, lifted buttocks, and refined hip-thigh definition. - AVERAGE FRAME PATIENTS - ### Content #### High-Definition Lower Body Lift™ *AVERAGE FRAME PATIENTS* You may already be slim, fit, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, yet still feel frustrated by areas of loose skin, flattened buttocks, or a lack of definition around your hips and outer thighs. For some individuals, genetics, aging, pregnancy, or natural changes in skin elasticity can create contours that don't reflect the effort they put into caring for their bodies. These changes are especially more profound on those who use GLP-1 medications for weight loss, weight maintenance, or wellness. For many patients, a comprehensive approach such as a lower body lift captures many of the areas that can be restored. A Structural Lower Body Lift™ pioneered by Dr. Agha is a powerful contouring procedure for naturally slender individuals seeking smoother lines, firmer skin, and a more sculpted silhouette. By repositioning and tightening the tissues of the lower torso, lifting the buttocks, and improving the transition between the waist, hips, and thighs, the procedure can create a more youthful, athletic, and balanced appearance. The results can be transformative. Clothing fits more elegantly, body proportions appear more refined, and the lower body takes on a tighter, more elevated contour that exercise alone often cannot achieve. For slim patients who desire the highest level of body sculpting and skin tightening, Dr. Agha's High-Definition lower body lift can provide the finishing touch that elevates an already healthy physique to an entirely new level of confidence and definition. This video collection highlights Dr. Agha's pioneered High-Definition Lower Body Lift results in petite patients, demonstrating how individualized surgical planning can create natural-looking improvements in contour, proportion, and body shape. #### Why Choose Dr. Agha *DR.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Body Restoration and Rejuvenation After Motherhood, GLP-1 Weight Loss, and Aging *Learn About High-Definition Lower Body Lift™* **A 360-Degree Anti-Cellulite Lift** In the 1970s, cosmetic procedures like facelifts were largely reserved for celebrities. Today, aesthetic surgery has become widely accessible, empowering individuals everywhere to enhance their appearance and confidence. Much like facial rejuvenation, body rejuvenation has evolved dramatically and more and more people want to keep their body in the best shape that advanced medicine offers. This is where body lifts come into play. [.divider-lines]Body lifts are a holistic approach to lower body restoration. Historically, body lifts were performed on patients who experienced significant weight loss and were left with excess, hanging skin. Over the past two decades, however, the field has been transformed—largely due to the pioneering work of Dr. Siamak Agha, Dr. Peter Rubin, Dr. Al Aly, and Dr. Dennis Hurwitz. With more than 20 years of experience and over 600 lower body lift procedures performed—one of the highest volumes by any single surgeon worldwide—Dr. Agha is internationally recognized for advancing body lift surgery beyond traditional techniques. His vast experience redefines how he restores body shape and form following aging, weight loss, pregnancy, and previous cosmetic procedures, attracting patients from across the globe seeking his expertise.[] **Aging Body and Cellulites** As women age, the body undergoes gradual and natural changes in skin texture, fat distribution, muscle mass and even bony structure. As we age, our fat, skin and bone, and muscle all undergo natural changes that show signs of our age. During the 40s, hormonal changes, reduced collagen, and slower metabolism can make cellulite more visible and soften tissue contours. In the 50s, menopause often accelerates these changes, leading to thinner, drier skin, increased abdominal fat, deeper cellulite, and less-defined body shape. By the 60s, collagen loss and reduced tissue support typically cause greater skin laxity, softer contours, and more noticeable folds, rolls, and looseness in several areas. These changes are accelerated by dramatic weight loss whether through diet or GLP-1 medications. Despite these changes, body shape remains highly individual, influenced by genetics, activity level, nutrition, and overall health. #### Why Choose Dr. Agha For Your High-Definition Lower Body Lift Lower body lift surgery requires a careful balance between removing excess skin, reshaping the lower body, and preserving natural body proportions. Dr. Siamak Agha approaches the high-definition lower body lift with a comprehensive 360-degree strategy that addresses the abdomen, waist, hips, outer thighs, buttocks, mons, and lower back together. By combining advanced body contouring techniques with precise incision planning and tissue support, he is able to create a smoother, firmer, and more sculpted lower body shape while maintaining results that look balanced and natural. Patients who choose Dr. Agha’s Newport Beach practice benefit from a highly personalized surgical experience focused on refined, long-lasting outcomes. Every lower body lift plan is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, skin laxity, weight history, and aesthetic goals. With decades of experience in complex body contouring and an emphasis on precision, safety, and proportion, Dr. Agha helps patients restore a more confident lower body silhouette at The One Plastic Surgery Center. #### The High-Definition Lower Body Lift *What is a Lower Body Lift?* A lower body lift is a circumferential body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and tighten underlying tissues of the abdomen, mons (pubic area), waist, hips, buttocks, and outer thighs. By removing a band of tissue around the lower torso, the procedure reshapes and smooths the body’s contours. A standard lower body lift, as performed by many surgeons, is also commonly referred to as a circumferential tummy tuck or belt lipectomy. However, not all lower body lifts are created equal. While traditional standard lower body lift techniques focus primarily on skin removal of abdomen, waist and buttocks, Dr. Agha has pioneered a far more comprehensive and restorative approach: the **High-Definition Lower Body Lift™**. This innovative procedure delivers a three-dimensional transformation of the entire lower body that goes far beyond skin removal. The **High-Definition Lower Body Lift™ is a culmination of 20 years of evolution and unlike a standard lower body lift, it is **a **Structural or Foundational or Deep-Plane Body Lift™** —making it especially effective for patients experiencing skin laxity and cellulites due to aging or weight loss, including those on GLP-1 medications. #### Dr. Agha's High-Definition Lower Body Lift™ Through decades of surgical refinement, Dr. Agha has elevated the lower body lift into a transformative, artistic, and highly precise procedure. His High-Definition Lower Body Lift™ is designed to produce natural-looking, athletic, and long-lasting results by addressing both superficial and deep structural layers of the body. Unlike standard skin-removal techniques, Dr. Agha’s approach is based on what he terms a **Structural or Foundational or Deep-Plane Body Lift™**. This method focuses on restoring the body’s foundational anatomy. During surgery, the deeper fat layer is carefully separated from the muscle, lifted, and secured at a higher position with anchoring sutures before excess skin is removed. In this manner, a **structural lift** is performed. This creates more durable, elevated, and aesthetically refined outcomes. **Key components of Dr. Agha's High-Definition Lower Body Lift may include:** - Dr. Agha’s pioneered high-definition tummy tuck **™** - Monsplasty (pubic lift) - Waist contouring through skin and tissue excision - Dr. Agha’s pioneered anterior (front) thigh lift - Outer (lateral) thigh lift - Lower back skin excision - Buttock lift - Liposuction of the lower back, waist, and flanks All of these procedures are individually performed one by one through a single circumferential incision, allowing for comprehensive, 360-degree reshaping. #### Dr. Agha’s Signature Surgery *The High-Definition Lower Body Lift Procedure* What makes the high-definition lower body lift different from other body lift surgeries out there is the comprehensive, yet structural, approach of Dr. Agha in tackling all lower body problems through one circumferential incision. Depending on the patient’s needs, these procedures typically include the following: #### How is the High-Definition Lower Body Lift Done? The exact steps in an HD lower body lift depend on the specific needs of the patient. #### Dramatic Improvement *Lower Body Lift Results* Lower body lift results are typically visible immediately, with a more contoured and lifted appearance in your buttocks and thighs. However, swelling and bruising are common for several weeks. Final results can take up to 18 months as swelling subsides and scars mature. Post-treatment involves wearing a compression garment and following a specific incision care plan. Maintaining a healthy weight and exercise routine is crucial to sustain your sculpted physique. #### High-Definition Lower Body Lift *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## HIGH-DEFINITION BODY LIFT™ **Link:** [HIGH-DEFINITION BODY LIFT™](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/lower-body-lift-post-bariatric/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/lower-body-lift-post-bariatric/index.html.md)) **Description:** High definition lower body lift surgery is used to take in excess skin after significant weight loss. POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content When it comes to the lower body, weight loss patients develop laxity of multiple areas. This includes abdominal tissue excess and laxity, abdominal muscle weakness, waist tissue excess and laxity, pubic region sagging, lower back and love handle fatty rolls (aka hip rolls), outer thigh sagging, prominent saddlebags, buttock flattening and sagging, as well as thigh laxity. Furthermore, these changes can occur both in a horizontal as well as vertical direction. A lower body lift specifically addresses the excess skin found on the abdomen, mons, thigh fronts, outer thighs, buttocks, waist, lower back, and hips. Although it is also known as circumferential tummy tuck or belt lipectomy, the lower body lift that Dr. Agha performs is far more comprehensive than a circumferential abdominoplasty. A belt lipectomy or circumferential abdominoplasty is essentially a tummy tuck, waist excision and buttocks lift in most cases. Dr. Agha typically performs his signature high-definition lower body lift for most of his patients. A high-definition lower body lift has multiple components, all of which are performed through the one circumferential incision. These includes: - Monsplasty - Tummy tuck with abdominal muscle tightening - Waist skin and tissue excision - Anterior thigh Lift (front of thighs) - Outer thigh lift - Lower back skin excision - Buttock Lift - Liposuction of Lower back - Liposuction of the Love-handles - Liposuction of the waist For most patients, Dr. Agha starts the procedure on their back first. At this point, if needed, he performs gentle liposuction of the saddlebags and love-handles. Most of the liposuctioned fat will then be washed and processed before being used for buttocks fat transfer later on. Dr. Agha then places 2 perfectly curved V-shaped incisions on the lower back and the upper buttocks. On the flanks, the upper incision is made over the waist and the lower incision continues forward over the outer thigh. These incisions are made for removing the excess lower back and upper buttocks skin, as well as the excess tissues of waist and outer thigh. The locations of these incisions are marked on the patient precisely during the pre-operative marking session. Dr. Agha makes great effort to ensure that the maximal amount of excess skin is removed. Once the 2 incisions are made, the skin of the lower back in between the 2 incisions is removed while preserving the underlying fat. Next, Dr. Agha utilizes the lower incision to create a pocket over the buttock muscles by lifting the buttock skin and fat off of the buttock muscles. The lower back fat pad is then mobilized and rotated into the created buttock pocket. The fat pad is then secured within the pocket while the buttock tissue is lifted over it. In this manner, Dr. Agha enhances the projection of the buttocks by using excess lower back fat that is molded as fat pads. The buttock lift is then completed by bringing the 2 incisions together. Dr. Agha performs a 3 layers closure for all his incisions. Over the flanks, Dr. Agha uses an especial instrument invented by Dr. Lockwood, known as the Lockwood dissector, to elevate the outer thigh tissue off of the outer thigh muscle. Once the outer thigh skin and tissue is partially detached from the thigh muscles, the outer thigh tissue is then lifted and sutured back to the muscles at a higher position using anchoring sutures. It is these anchoring sutures that prevent future sagging of the lifted tissues. Closure of the 2 incisions at the sides completes the outer thigh lift as well as waist skin excision. This results in a smoother contour of the outer thigh skin and recreates the waist concavity. Next the liposuctioned fat is transferred into the lower buttocks to create a rounder and more natural buttock shape. The patient will next be turned over to continue with the work in front. This entails continuation of the outer thigh incision over the front of the thighs and into the pubic area. Similarly, the upper incision is continued over the waist area towards the navel. Consistent with a tummy tuck, the excess tissue in between these two incisions is next excised over the abdominal muscles. Similar to the outer thigh lift, Dr. Agha then lifts the anterior (front) thighs and anchors them at a higher position using anchoring sutures. Once the abdominal muscles are tightened, three layers closure of the 2 incisions together complete anterior thigh lift, tummy tuck, and Monsplasty. Dr. Agha then complete his High-definition lower body lift by liposuctioning mainly the waist areas. --- ## Lower Body Lift **Link:** [Lower Body Lift](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/lower-body-lift-slim-patients/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/lower-body-lift-slim-patients/index.html.md)) **Description:** Explore Dr. Agha’s High-Definition Lower Body Lift™ results for petite patients seeking smoother contours, lifted buttocks, and refined hip-thigh definition. - PETITE PATIENTS - ### Content #### High-Definition Lower Body Lift™ *PETITE PATIENTS* You may already be slim, fit, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, yet still feel frustrated by areas of loose skin, flattened buttocks, or a lack of definition around your hips and outer thighs.

While you still feel youthful and vibrant, you wouldn't mind a subtle refresh to match how you feel on the inside. If this sounds familiar, you may be a great candidate for a MACS facelift – a minimally invasive procedure that has helped thousands of patients worldwide achieve natural-looking rejuvenation with less downtime than a traditional facelift. If you want to learn more about this facelift technique, continue reading the rest of this article. [View Gallery](/gallery/face/facelift-before-and-after-photos/) #### A Gentle Lift that Moves with You, Not Against You *What is a MACS Facelift?* The MACS facelift, short for Minimal Access Cranial Suspension lift, is a revolutionary technique developed by Belgian plastic surgeons Dr. Patrick Tonnard and Dr. Alexis Verpaele in 1999. This procedure is designed to lift and rejuvenate the face in a simple, natural manner with minimal risks and downtime for the patient. One of the key benefits of the MACS facelift is the upward pull of the skin, which counteracts the effects of gravity and creates a more natural-looking result. This technique helps to avoid the "windswept" or "pulled" look that some patients fear with traditional facelifts. #### When Subtle Shifts Call for Subtle Solutions *Who is the MACS Facelift for?* The MACS lift is an excellent option for patients aged 40 to 50 with mild to moderate loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone in the face, neck, and jowls. They might also have deep creases around the mouth and nose and a tired or sad appearance due to sagging skin. However, it may only be suitable for some, and your surgeon can help determine if a MACS lift or a traditional facelift is the best approach for your individual needs and goals. #### Graceful Aging, Thoughtfully Reimagined *MACS Facelift Benefits* The MACS facelift offers numerous benefits for those seeking to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance: #### Finding the Right Lift for Your Unique Story *MACS vs. Other Facelift Techniques* Traditional Facelift A [traditional facelift](/facelift-newport-beach/) is a more extensive procedure involving incisions that run from the hairline down and around the ears. It is typically performed under general anesthesia and addresses sagging skin and underlying muscles. This procedure is better suited for those with more advanced signs of aging. In contrast, the MACS facelift is a less invasive option, focusing primarily on the underlying facial muscles with limited skin removal. The incision for MACS lift is shorter, ending at the earlobe, and the procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. This technique is ideal for patients with mild to moderate sagging and good skin elasticity. #### SMAS Facelift The [SMAS facelift](/smas-facelift/) is a more extensive procedure that targets both sagging skin and the underlying muscular-aponeurotic structures of the face. It involves incisions in the hairline that extend around the ears, allowing for the suspension and tightening of sagging facial tissues, elimination of jowls, and neck refinement. The SMAS facelift is usually performed under general anesthesia and best suits those who need significant correction of facial drooping and loose skin. On the other hand, the MACS facelift is a SMAS imbrication or tightening technique. It is a less invasive technique that primarily targets the underlying muscular structures of the face. It is ideal for younger patients with limited facial sagging and good skin elasticity. The incisions for a MACS facelift are shorter, ending at the earlobe, and the procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. Benefits of the MACS facelift include minimal scarring, faster recovery time, and reduced risk of complications compared to the SMAS facelift.

You can expect smoother, tighter skin on your cheeks, chin, and neck. The procedure greatly improves skin laxity, diminishing the appearance of nasolabial folds and marionette lines around the mouth. If you were concerned about sagging or wrinkled skin on your neck, you'll be pleased to see a more youthful, refined contour in this area. Depending on your individual needs, the MACS facelift can be combined with other procedures for a complete facial rejuvenation. These may include Lipo to remove excess fat from the neck, an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), rhinoplasty, or a lip lift. Your surgeon will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns and goals. The best part? The results of your MACS facelift can last up to 12 years, allowing you to enjoy your rejuvenated appearance for a significant amount of time. To maintain your results, be sure to protect your skin from sun damage and consider using medical-grade skincare products tailored to your specific needs. --- ## How to Maintain Plastic Surgery Results Long-Term **Link:** [How to Maintain Plastic Surgery Results Long-Term](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/maintain-plastic-surgery-results-long-term/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/maintain-plastic-surgery-results-long-term/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how to maintain plastic surgery results long-term with expert tips on skincare, weight stability, wellness, and recovery from Dr. Siamak Agha. ### Content --- ## Gynecomastia Surgery: What Causes Male Breast Enlargement and How It's Treated **Link:** [Gynecomastia Surgery: What Causes Male Breast Enlargement and How It's Treated](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/male-breast-reduction-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/male-breast-reduction-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn what causes male breast enlargement, whether it can be fixed without surgery, and what to expect from gynecomastia surgery that Orange County men trust for a flatter, firmer chest. ### Content --- ## Buttock Enhancement For Men **Link:** [Buttock Enhancement For Men](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/male-buttock-enhancement/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/male-buttock-enhancement/index.html.md)) **Description:** Discover confidence with Buttock Enhancement for Men in Newport Beach, CA. Transform your silhouette at The One Plastic Surgery Center. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### The Contoured Male *Newport Beach Buttock Enhancement for Men at The One Plastic Surgery Center* In recent years, cosmetic procedures for men have become increasingly common as more men seek ways to refine their physique and enhance their overall body proportions. While fitness and strength training remain essential components of achieving a strong and athletic appearance, some men may still struggle with body areas that lack definition or proportion despite consistent workouts. One area that can influence overall body balance is the buttocks. For many men, the ideal male physique includes not only a broad chest and defined abdomen but also well-shaped gluteal muscles that contribute to a balanced, athletic silhouette. When the buttocks lack projection or appear flat, it can affect how clothing fits and how the body appears from multiple angles. Buttock enhancement for men is designed to improve the shape, volume, and contour of the buttocks to create a more proportionate and masculine appearance. Rather than creating exaggerated curves, male buttock enhancement focuses on achieving a natural-looking shape with moderate projection and firm definition that complements the rest of the body. At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, CA, buttock enhancement procedures are tailored to each patient’s body type and aesthetic goals. Led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Siamak Agha, the practice specializes in advanced male body contouring techniques designed to enhance masculine body proportions. Through personalized treatment planning and modern surgical techniques, buttock enhancement can help men achieve a more balanced and athletic physique while maintaining natural body proportions. #### WHY CHOOSE DR. AGHA FOR YOUR MALE BUTTOCKS ENHANCEMENT? Achieving natural-looking buttock enhancement for men requires a precise understanding of male body proportions and gluteal anatomy. Dr. Siamak Agha has extensive experience performing advanced body contouring procedures that focus on creating balanced, athletic results rather than exaggerated volume. Whether using fat transfer or implants, he carefully plans each procedure to enhance the natural shape of the buttocks while maintaining harmony with the rest of the body’s structure. At his Newport Beach practice, Dr. Agha emphasizes individualized surgical planning and meticulous technique to ensure refined outcomes for every patient. Each procedure is tailored to the patient’s body type, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals, allowing for subtle improvements that strengthen overall body proportions. By combining modern surgical methods with a detailed artistic approach, Dr. Agha helps men achieve a stronger, more sculpted physique that looks natural from every angle. #### Sculpt Your Physique *What is Buttock Enhancement for Men?* Some men naturally have smaller or flatter buttocks that lack projection and definition. This can occur due to genetics, body composition, or fat distribution patterns. In certain cases, the lack of volume in the buttocks can also make sitting uncomfortable or make it difficult for clothing to fit properly. Buttock enhancement for men is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the size, shape, and contour of the buttocks. The goal of the procedure is to create a stronger and more defined gluteal appearance that complements the rest of the body’s proportions. Two primary techniques are commonly used to enhance the buttocks. **Fat Transfer** Fat transfer, commonly known as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), uses the patient’s own fat to enhance the buttocks. During this procedure, fat is first removed from other areas of the body such as the abdomen, flanks, or back using liposuction. The harvested fat is then purified and carefully injected into the buttocks to create natural volume and improved contour. Because the procedure uses the patient’s own fat, the results look and feel natural. Additionally, fat transfer allows surgeons to simultaneously contour surrounding areas of the body, which can further enhance overall body proportions. Dr. Agha has extensive experience performing buttock fat transfer procedures and has performed over 1000 BBLs in the past 20 years. During this time, Dr. Agha has developed specialized techniques for fat harvesting, purification, and injection to improve long-term fat survival and natural-looking results. **Silicone Implants** For patients who desire a more dramatic increase in volume or who may not have sufficient body fat for transfer, buttock implants can be an effective option. Silicone implants are specifically designed for the buttocks and come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different body types. These implants provide a firmer structure and long-lasting enhancement. Implants are carefully positioned within or above the gluteal muscle to create a balanced and natural appearance while maintaining patient comfort and safety. Buttock implants come in different anatomical shapes and sizes. Both options offer unique benefits, and the best approach depends on the patient’s anatomy, goals, and desired level of enhancement. #### The Masculine Frame *What are the benefits of Buttock Enhancement for Men?* Buttock enhancement for men offers several aesthetic and psychological benefits. By improving the size and contour of the buttocks, the procedure can create better body proportions and enhance the overall masculine silhouette. One of the primary benefits is the ability to improve balance between the upper and lower body. When the buttocks appear too flat or underdeveloped, the body may appear disproportionate. Enhancing the buttocks can restore balance and create a more athletic body profile. Additional benefits include: - Improved body proportions - Enhanced definition of the gluteal muscles - A stronger and more athletic silhouette - Improved fit of clothing - Increased self-confidence For many patients, buttock enhancement also complements other body contouring procedures, such as liposuction, which can further refine surrounding areas. Because the procedure is customized to each individual, patients can achieve subtle refinement or more noticeable transformation depending on their goals. #### A Tailored Transformation *Your Buttock Enhancement for Men Procedure* #### Bounce Back with Confidence #### Up Your Shape *Buttock Enhancement for Men Results* Once the procedure is complete and initial swelling begins to subside, patients can begin to notice improvements in the contour and projection of the buttocks. Buttock enhancement can produce: - Fuller and more defined buttocks - Improved body proportions - Enhanced gluteal contour - A stronger and more athletic silhouette Final results typically become more noticeable as swelling resolves over several weeks.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content It’s common knowledge that women have always valued their appearance. But contrary to popular belief, men also value how they look just as much as women do. While women want to have softer curves, men generally want more prominent and defined muscles. In fact, having sculpted chest muscles is a sign of strength and masculinity. But for a lot of men, their pectoral muscles may not be as well-defined or enhanced as they want them to be. They may also appear underdeveloped or asymmetrical due to genetics, birth malformations, or accidents. If you want to have more masculine-looking pecs, you may want to consider getting pectoral implants through male chest enhancement surgery. #### What are Male Pectoral Implants? Male pectoral implants are the quickest way to improve the appearance of your chest area. The past few years saw a rise in the male chest enhancement surgery because of these implants and how they can give new contours to a man’s chest muscles. Getting male chest implants can lift, increase the size, and define a man’s chest area. Typically made of a solid silicone gel substance, male pectoral implants look and feel like your natural pecs. Because these implants are soft and flexible, they are easy to customize to your specific chest shape, giving your chest an excellently-contoured appearance. #### Do You Need to Get Male Pectoral Implants? Getting male pectoral implants as a cosmetic procedure originally started with bodybuilders wanting to enhance their athletic and muscular look. But as more men desired to achieve augmented and defined chest muscles, male chest enhancement surgery has become a sought-after procedure. Male pectoral implants are great for: - Men who are self-conscious or frustrated with the look of their pectoral muscles and overall chest contour - Athletic men who want to enhance and improve upon the work they’ve done in the gym - Men with underdeveloped pectoral muscles - Men with chest asymmetries and deformities stemming from birth or an accident You’re strongly discouraged from getting male pectoral implants if you’re having a hard time maintaining a stable weight because drastic weight gain or weight loss can affect the outcome of your results. #### What are the Different Types of Male Pec Implants Used by Dr. Agha? Depending on Dr. Agha’s assessment and the results you want to see, you may be advised to get any of the following male pectoral implants: #### How is Male Chest Enhancement Done? While there are many pec implant variations that you can choose from, the procedure for male chest enhancement is the same. Here is what happens: #### Get Male Chest Enhancement *at Newport Beach, Orange County* If you want to improve how your upper body is contoured by getting bigger and more defined pecs, male chest enhancement surgery may be right for you. Thanks to male pectoral implants, patients who underwent this procedure have permanently enhanced pectoral muscles that they were not able to achieve through exercise, giving them a boost in self-esteem. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Agha and find out how male pectoral implants can give you the chiseled chest you’ve always wanted. --- ## Plastic Surgery for Men **Link:** [Plastic Surgery for Men](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/male-plastic-surgery-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/male-plastic-surgery-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Define your chest, abs, jawline and proportions with male-focused plastic surgery by Dr. Agha in Newport Beach.

AGHA *Trusted by Men Who Demand Natural, Masculine, High-Definition Results* Dr. Siamak Agha, MD, PhD, FACS is a board-certified plastic surgeon renowned for advanced body contouring and male aesthetic refinement. With over 20 years of experience and thousands of successful procedures, Dr. Agha brings an unmatched understanding of anatomy and proportion to every male transformation. Having pioneered multiple surgical innovations—including the High-Definition Tummy Tuck™, the High-Definition Lower Body Lift™, and the Spiral Thigh Lift—as well as classification systems for chest and body laxity, Dr. Agha stands as one of the highest-volume male contouring surgeons in the United States. His approach delivers results that protect masculine identity while enhancing definition, strength, and structural balance. Dr. Siamak Agha is: - World-renowned Faculty in Body Contouring Surgeries - Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons - Diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery - Member of The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons - Member of The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons - Member of the Orange County Society of Plastic Surgeons - Fellow of the American College of Surgeons - Fellow of the Royal College of Medicine (U.K.) #### GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY *Flatten. Define. Strengthen Your Presence.* Gynecomastia surgery restores the masculine chest by removing stubborn gland tissue, excess fat, and loose skin—anatomical issues that no workout can fix. While training can strengthen the pecs underneath, gland tissue is hormonal and completely unresponsive to exercise, often making the chest appear bulkier. Dr. Agha corrects both vertical and horizontal laxity, reshapes the pectoral border, and rebuilds the firm, structured look that defines a masculine upper body. The result is a chest that looks naturally athletic in clothing and confidently masculine on the beach. **Ideal For:** - Puffy or rounded chest - Gland tissue that won’t shrink - Chest fullness despite training - Chest deflation after weight loss [Learn More](/gynecomastia-surgery-newport-beach/) #### LIPOSUCTION FOR MEN *Sculpt That V-Shape In No Time* Male liposuction removes deeply embedded fat deposits that blunt the waistline, widen the torso, and hide oblique definition—even on men who train consistently. Because male fat is denser and more hormonally resistant, many men struggle for years without meaningful change. Dr. Agha sculpts the torso in 360°—abdomen, flanks, chest, and lower back—to restore a crisp V-taper and reveal muscle definition. This isn’t a shortcut; it’s a precision tool that exposes the results you’ve already earned in the gym and accelerates the progress genetics hold back. **Best For:** - Love handles - Lower abdominal fullness - Chest fat (with or without gland) - Lower back sculpting [Learn More](/for-men/male-liposuction/) #### HIGH-DEFINITION TUMMY TUCK™ FOR MEN *From Dad Bod to Defined—Through Structure* A male tummy tuck corrects issues training cannot solve: loose abdominal skin, stretched fascia, and separation of the abdominal wall from past weight fluctuations. Many men assume their belly protrusion is fat, when often it’s actually weakened internal support—a problem crunches cannot fix. Dr. Agha tightens the abdominal wall, removes excess skin, and reshapes the waistline to recreate a flat, firm, and masculine abdominal plane. This structural repair restores both definition and posture, building the foundation for a stronger, more proportionate torso. **Helps With:** - Abdominal separation - Lower abdominal sagging - Post–weight-loss laxity - Poor waist definition [Lear More](/male-tummy-tuck/) #### PECTORAL IMPLANTS *Projection, Symmetry, and Upper-Body Power* Pectoral implants enhance chest size and shape when genetics or asymmetry limit what training can achieve. Because muscle insertions and rib-cage structure are fixed, some dimensions—especially upper-chest projection—can’t be built naturally. Using implants designed for male anatomy, Dr. Agha restores width, projection, and upper-chest fullness for a powerful, naturally muscular look in and out of clothing. **Perfect For:** - Underdeveloped pecs - Chest asymmetry - Flat upper chest / Upper-pole fullness - Desire for more projection [Learn More](/male-pectoral-implants-newport-beach/) #### MALE FACIAL PROCEDURES *Angles Over Curves: The Logic of Masculine Beauty* Male facial aesthetics rely on structure—sharp jawline, clean neck, firm lower face, and clear eyes. As men age, heavier tissues descend, softening these features in ways exercise or lifestyle changes can’t correct. Modern male facial surgery restores underlying structure, rebuilding sharp, masculine contours without looking “done”—focused on presence, not youth. #### WITNESS THE PROWESS ON INSTAGRAM [Follow us on Instagram @drsiamakagha](https://www.instagram.com/drsiamakagha/) to watch Dr. Agha’s daily lives, immediate surgery results, before & afters, educational consultations and stunning post-ops.

Discover confidence at The One Plastic Surgery Center for Men. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Dad Bod to Fab Bod *Newport Beach Tummy Tuck for Men at The One Plastic Surgery Center* In today’s aesthetic landscape, more men are seeking ways to refine their physique and maintain a strong, confident appearance. While exercise and strength training remain essential for building muscle and maintaining overall health, certain concerns such as loose abdominal skin, stubborn fat deposits, or weakened abdominal muscles may persist despite consistent fitness efforts. For many men, these issues can make it difficult to achieve the defined midsection that represents the ideal masculine physique. The modern ideal male abdomen reflects more than just visible abdominal muscles. It represents a balance of strength, symmetry, and proportion. A toned male midsection is typically characterized by a flat and firm abdominal surface, well-supported core muscles, and smooth skin that follows the natural contours of the body. While the appearance of a defined “six-pack” is often associated with this look, it is only one part of a broader aesthetic that includes proper muscle tone, tight skin, and harmonious body proportions. However, many men find that weight fluctuations, aging, genetics, or significant weight loss can lead to excess skin or weakened abdominal muscles. These concerns can create a protruding abdomen or a soft midsection even in individuals who maintain an otherwise healthy lifestyle. In these situations, a tummy tuck for men can help restore abdominal structure and improve the overall contour of the torso. [.divider-lines]**A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is designed to remove excess skin, reduce localized fat, and tighten the underlying abdominal muscles. By addressing these factors simultaneously, the procedure can create a firmer, flatter midsection that complements the natural male body shape. For men seeking a more sculpted and athletic appearance, this procedure can significantly enhance overall body proportions.**[] At The One Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, tummy tuck procedures are carefully customized to suit the male physique. Dr. Siamak Agha focuses on preserving masculine contours while tightening and refining the abdominal area. Through meticulous surgical technique and individualized treatment planning, tummy tuck surgery can help men achieve a stronger, more defined abdominal profile while maintaining natural body balance. #### Why Choose Dr. Agha For Your Male Tummy Tuck? Male tummy tuck surgery requires a specialized approach that preserves masculine body proportions while improving abdominal definition. In 2007, Dr. Siamak Agha created the high-definition tummy tuck procedure for both men and women to achieve a sculpted and defined abdominal contour. By combining muscle repair, skin tightening, and precise fat contouring, he focuses on creating results that appear strong, natural, and balanced rather than overly flat. At The One Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, Dr. Agha carefully evaluates each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals to develop a personalized surgical plan. His approach emphasizes refined contours, meticulous technique, and long-term patient satisfaction. Through careful planning and attention to detail, he helps men achieve a firmer, more defined abdomen that enhances both their physique and confidence. Schedule a consultation today to take the first step toward the stronger, more sculpted midsection you’ve been working toward. #### Sculpting Your Midsection *What is a Tummy Tuck for Men?* Tummy tuck for men, also known as a male tummy tuck, is a specialized surgical body contouring procedure designed to improve the shape, strength, and overall structure of the abdomen. This male abdominal contouring procedure removes excess skin, tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles, and often incorporates liposuction to eliminate stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. By addressing these concerns simultaneously, a tummy tuck for men can restore a flatter, firmer, and more defined abdominal appearance while also enhancing core stability and overall body proportions. Although the fundamental surgical technique is similar for both men and women, a male tummy tuck requires specific modifications to preserve masculine proportions and natural body aesthetics. Men tend to store fat differently, often deeper within the abdomen and along the waistline, and typically benefit from results that emphasize a stronger, more structured appearance rather than an overly contoured look. By understanding these anatomical differences, surgeons can achieve results that appear balanced, athletic, and natural, avoiding an artificial or excessively sculpted outcome. #### Elevate Your Image *What are the benefits of a Tummy Tuck for Men?* A tummy tuck for men offers a wide range of aesthetic and functional benefits. By removing excess skin, tightening abdominal muscles, and refining body contours, the procedure can dramatically improve the overall appearance of the midsection. One of the primary benefits is achieving a flatter and more toned abdomen. Excess skin and weakened muscles can create a soft or protruding stomach even in individuals who are physically active. By tightening the abdominal wall and removing loose skin, the procedure restores a firmer and more structured appearance. Additional benefits include:\Improved abdominal definition - Removal of loose or sagging skin - Strengthening of weakened abdominal muscles - Enhanced body proportions - Improved fit of clothing Increased self-confidence Many men find that after a tummy tuck they feel more comfortable in fitted clothing, swimwear, or athletic apparel. The improved body contours often motivate patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle and remain committed to their fitness routines. #### Get Answers *Your Tummy Tuck for Men Consultation* The first step toward achieving a stronger and more defined midsection is scheduling a consultation. During your consultation at The One Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, Dr. Agha will evaluate your abdominal structure, skin elasticity, and body proportions to determine whether a tummy tuck is the right procedure for you. This consultation is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, aesthetic goals, and expectations. Dr. Agha will explain the surgical process in detail and review the available treatment options. In some cases, additional procedures such as liposuction may be recommended to further enhance abdominal contours. Every surgical plan is customized to the individual patient. Factors such as body type, fat distribution, skin laxity, and desired outcomes are carefully considered when designing the procedure. This personalized approach helps ensure that the final results look natural and complement the patient’s overall physique. #### Your Male Tummy Tuck Procedure #### Tummy Tuck For Men Recovery and Aftercare Recovery after a tummy tuck requires patience and proper aftercare to achieve optimal results. While most patients begin to notice improvements in abdominal contour soon after surgery, the body will need time to heal and adjust. It is normal to experience temporary swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the early stages of recovery. These symptoms gradually improve over several weeks. Key recovery guidelines include: - Avoid strenuous activities for six to eight weeks after surgery. - Follow all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon. - Maintain proper incision care to prevent infection and support healing. - Limit sun exposure to incision areas to reduce the risk of scarring. - Wear compression garments as recommended to reduce swelling and support abdominal tissues. - Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for monitoring and guidance. By following these recovery instructions carefully, patients can support proper healing and maximize their surgical results. #### Confidence from Every Angle *Tummy Tuck for Men Results* Many patients begin to see improvements in their abdominal contour within the first few weeks after surgery. As swelling gradually decreases, the results become more noticeable and refined. Over the following months, the abdomen continues to improve as tissues settle and the final contour becomes visible. The procedure can create a flatter, firmer midsection and enhance overall body balance. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle after surgery plays an important role in preserving long-term results. Regular exercise and balanced nutrition help ensure that the improvements achieved through surgery remain stable for years to come. #### Tummy Tuck For Men *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Media **Link:** [Media](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/media/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/media/index.html.md)) **Description:** Explore Dr. Siamak Agha’s media features, interviews, and expert insights as a board-certified plastic surgeon recognized for pioneering body contouring innovations and transforming lives through advanced surgical artistry.

We offer Sylfirm X, the first and only dual-wave RF microneedling system, making it a revolutionary advancement in non-surgical skin renewal. As time passes, our skin loses its youthful vibrancy. Collagen depletion leads to thinning, fine lines, and volume loss. Uneven pigmentation can also become a concern. Sylfirm X addresses these challenges and more, all in a single, innovative treatment. #### Sylfirm X *What is RF Microneedling?* RF microneedling, also known as radiofrequency microneedling, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of the skin. Microneedling creates micro-injuries to the skin to activate and boost collagen production, while radiofrequency (RF) energy is delivered into deeper layers of the skin to work on skin tightening. What is Sylfirm X? Sylfirm X is the world's first dual-wave RF microneedling system, offering a unique and practical approach to skin rejuvenation. Unlike traditional treatments, Sylfirm X can address a broader range of concerns, including discoloration, rosacea, and melasma. **How does Sylfirm X work?** Sylfirm X utilizes multiple microelectrodes that create a gentle electromagnetic field. This field safely penetrates deeper skin layers, delivering targeted RF energy and triggering collagen production while the microneedles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface to rejuvenate your complexion at every level. **What is the difference between RF microneedling and Sylfirm X?** Sylfirm X stands out in RF microneedling for its unique ability to address concerns that often challenge other devices. Unlike many traditional RF microneedling treatments, Sylfirm X is safe and effective for treating melasma, even on darker skin tones. This is a significant breakthrough, as melasma can be particularly stubborn and difficult to treat with conventional methods. Additionally, Sylfirm X excels at tightening loose skin around the eyes, which requires a precise and gentle touch. #### Next-Gen Skin Rejuvenation *Your Sylfirm X RF Microneedling Procedure* Experience a new level of skin rejuvenation with Sylfirm X, a minimally invasive microneedling treatment.

SIAMAK AGHA Many women dedicate years to maintaining a healthy, fit physique through consistent exercise and mindful nutrition. Yet even with disciplined effort, pregnancy can leave behind permanent changes—particularly in the lower abdomen. This is where a **Newport Beach mini tummy tuck**, performed by **Dr. Siamak Agha**, one of Southern California’s most experienced and respected body contouring surgeons, can make a meaningful difference. Designed for women who need refinement—not reconstruction—a mini tummy tuck smooths and tightens the lower abdomen to deliver natural, elegant results that align with the patient’s overall physique. [.divider-lines]Dr. Agha has spent decades specializing in advanced abdominoplasty techniques, treating thousands of women with varying degrees of post-pregnancy and post-weight-loss changes.[] His deep understanding of anatomy, skin behavior, and body proportions allows him to achieve refined outcomes that look balanced, youthful, and never overdone. #### MINI TUMMY TUCK VS. FULL TUMMY TUCK *A More Precise Solution* Thanks to increased awareness and healthier pregnancies, many women today gain minimal excess weight during pregnancy and recover well afterward. As a result, they may only experience: - Mild skin looseness below the belly button - Minimal sagging of the mons pubis - Little to no abdominal muscle separation In these cases, a full tummy tuck is often unnecessary—and sometimes inappropriate. A traditional abdominoplasty removes a large portion of abdominal skin, typically close to half, which would be excessive for women who only have a small amount of lower abdominal skin excess. Dr. Agha emphasizes **precision over excess**. When only two to three inches of lower abdominal skin need correction, a mini tummy tuck provides a targeted solution with less scarring, faster recovery, and a more natural result. #### WHAT IS A MINI TUMMY TUCK A mini tummy tuck is designed to remove loose, sagging skin from the lower abdomen without repositioning the belly button or performing extensive muscle repair. It is ideal for women whose concerns are limited to the area below the navel. During the procedure, Dr. Agha creates a short incision just above the pubic bone—significantly shorter and lower than that of a full tummy tuck. Through this incision, the lower abdominal skin is gently elevated, excess tissue is removed, and the remaining skin is carefully redraped. Dr. Agha’s meticulous layered closure technique helps minimize scarring and supports optimal healing. The procedure typically takes **1½ to 2 hours**, unless combined with other contouring treatments. #### BENEFITS OF A MINI TUMMY TUCK WITH DR.AGHA When performed by an expert in body contouring like Dr. Agha, a mini tummy tuck offers several advantages: **Short, Well-Hidden Incisions: **Dr. Agha places incisions as low as possible, ensuring scars remain concealed even in bikinis or low-rise clothing. **Shorter Surgery and Recovery:** Mini tummy tucks are less invasive and generally allow patients to return to work within one week, with less discomfort than a full abdominoplasty. **Natural, Proportional Results:** Dr. Agha’s artistic eye ensures the lower abdomen blends seamlessly with the upper abdomen, waist, and hips—avoiding the “operated” look. #### Advanced Mini Tummy Tuck Techniques by Dr. Siamak Agha Unlike many surgeons who perform only a basic mini tummy tuck, Dr. Agha has developed **advanced, customized variations** based on decades of clinical experience. [**Book your consultation for a mini tummy tuck in Orange County**](#schedule-consult-footer-form) #### ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR A MINI TUMMY TUCK? Dr. Agha carefully evaluates each patient to determine whether a mini tummy tuck will deliver optimal results. Ideal candidates typically: - Maintained a stable weight during and after pregnancy - Have mild to moderate lower abdominal skin laxity - Do not have severe muscle separation - Are close to their ideal weight - Want subtle yet noticeable improvement Patients with multiple pregnancies, significant muscle laxity, or massive weight loss may benefit more from a full tummy tuck. Dr. Agha’s extensive experience allows him to recommend the most appropriate procedure with honesty and precision. ####

HOW DR. AGHA PERFORMS A MINI TUMMY TUCK

Through a discreet incision, Dr. Agha removes excess skin, tightens muscles when needed, and refines contours with liposuction.

Having a child to live for brings inexplicable happiness and contentment, ushering in a life-changing phase into one’s life. Despite these positive changes, pregnancy may leave some unwanted leftovers, particularly in your physical appearance. [Learn more on how pregnancy changes your breast and body.](/blog/the-miracles-of-pregnancy-what-it-does-to-your-body/) You may develop stretch marks and cellulite in your thighs, butt, and hips. You might have some residual weight gain in various areas of your body that traditional diet and exercise can’t easily eliminate. After nursing your child, you might have deflated and saggy boobs as your breast ligaments stretch to carry your breasts’ increased size and weight. Your once-flat abdomen might now sport an unsightly belly pouch because of excess loose skin. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with these changes forever. If you want to return your body to its pre-pregnancy state, a mommy makeover is the all-in-one procedure that you need. Depending on your wishes and needs, this may include addressing and improving the look of: - Deflated or sagging breasts, - Weakened abdominal muscles, - Abdominal skin excess, - Deflated buttocks, - Labial excess, - Altered body shape. In our practice, a mommy makeover is an individualized plan for meeting the goals of many mothers after they have given birth. #### 360-Degree Mommy Makeover: Beautiful Front and Back While many patients and surgeons focus on the breasts and belly, our philosophy at The One Plastic Surgery Center is to attend to the whole of you. That means your front, your back, and, of course, your flanks. A 360-degree mommy makeover by Dr. Agha aims to enhance your whole body by sculpting an hourglass silhouette that starts on the back via liposculpture, follows over the flanks as waist concavity, and finishes on the front as a highly defined abdomen. By enhancing your butt with your own fat and your breasts with a lift or implants, a 360-degree mommy makeover will not only restore your pre-pregnancy body but transforms and creates a new sensensual and sexy physique. #### What Sets The One Plastic Surgery Center Apart *Regain your shape: A Mommy Makeover Tailored to Your desire* A mommy makeover is designed to counteract the physical effects of childbearing, restoring and enhancing your body contour and appearance.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Breast aesthetics isn’t just about breast size. Nipples and areolae form a huge part of how the breasts look. Although not everyone will see them, women may still feel embarrassed about having less than perfect peaks. Issues like having inverted nipples or large and prominent ones make women so self-conscious that they’re afraid to get intimate with their partners. The fear of being judged cripples them so much that they don’t even enjoy looking at their bare bodies in the mirror. [.divider-lines]If you’re feeling this way, you have the option to make changes to your body to feel more confident about it.[] In this article, we’ll talk about how the ideal nipple and areola should look like and the common nipple problems of women. Keep reading to learn more about these problems and how one of SoCal’s top board-certified plastic surgeons can help you solve these issues. #### All About Nipple and Areola Beauty There are two main factors affecting nipple and areola beauty: their size and placement. In a [2009 study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18626683/) that examined the breasts of 300 women, the average nipple diameter is 1.3 cm. For the height, it’s 0.9 cm. Meanwhile, the generally accepted average areola size is 5 cm. The ideal nipple-areola complex position was determined in a study in 2016. According to a [survey](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5030227/) completed by 813 participants, the perfect nipple areola position is in the middle of the breast gland vertically and just a little off midpoint horizontally. Though as many as 20% of women have inverted nipples, most women want protruding peaks as these are considered normal. #### Common Nipple Issues and How to Solve Them --- ## Non-Surgical Options for Facial Rejuvenation in Newport Beach **Link:** [Non-Surgical Options for Facial Rejuvenation in Newport Beach](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical-options-for-facial-rejuvenation-in-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical-options-for-facial-rejuvenation-in-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Explore non-surgical options for facial rejuvenation in Newport Beach.

But when ears are especially prominent, they can become one of the first features others see. For many children and adults, prominent ears can attract unwanted attention, teasing, or self-consciousness. Even well-known public figures, including former President Barack Obama and actor Will Smith, have faced comments about their ears. While not everyone with prominent ears has this experience, it's understandable that the feature can affect confidence. If you've always wished your ears were more balanced with the rest of your facial features, otoplasty may be an option worth considering. [.divider-lines]Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Siamak Agha at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach performs otoplasty to reshape or reposition the ears, creating a more natural-looking appearance that complements your facial proportions. For many patients, the procedure can enhance confidence and reduce self-consciousness about their ears.[] Continue reading to learn how otoplasty works, who may be a good candidate, and what you can expect before, during, and after the procedure.e. #### What is Otoplasty? Otoplasty—also known as prominent ear correction—reshapes and/or set backs your prominent ears, keeping them in proportion to the rest of your face.Depending on the technique used, otoplasty can pin back protruding ears closer to the head so that they do not appear too prominent. It can also include ear reduction to remove excess skin and cartilage and give your ears a better shape.According to the [2018 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/documents/News/Statistics/2018/plastic-surgery-statistics-full-report-2018.pdf) by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, otoplasty is the third most popular cosmetic surgery among people aged 13 to 19 years old.In fact, the majority of Dr. Agha's otoplasty patients are younger patients who want to pin back their ears, making them appear smaller.If done right, an otoplasty can dramatically improve your appearance, confidence, and overall quality of life. #### What are the Different Otoplasty Techniques? Depending on your needs, you can either get an ear pinning or ear reduction surgery. Check out the difference between these two methods: #### How Does Dr. Agha Do Otoplasty? Otoplasty can be done on one or both ears—the latter being known as bilateral otoplasty. Often performed on an outpatient basis, otoplasty is done in an ambulatory care facility. #### How Do You Recover from an Otoplasty? Read the [general information on recovery after facial surgery.](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-face/) Compared to other major plastic surgeries, otoplasty entails a less painful and demanding recovery, even for children. Expect some bruising and swelling especially during your first week post-op. You will also feel some mild discomfort, but you can easily manage it using oral pain medications. Though you can move around immediately after surgery, it is still important to rest frequently. Keep your head elevated all the time and be mindful not to rest your head on the operated ear to avoid putting pressure on them. Make sure that you keep the dressing in place until your surgeon allows you to remove it. You might also be asked to wear a protective headband for the first one to two weeks. Be sure to apply antibiotic ointment on your incisions and perform wound care to avoid infection. You can hide any residual bruising using cosmetics until it disappears. Scars are usually placed in the crease behind the ear and fade within a few months. Check out the estimated recovery time frame for otoplasty. #### What Results Can You Expect from an Otoplasty? Otoplasty results last a lifetime, allowing you to achieve: - Better-shaped and natural-looking ears - Smaller and non-protruding ears proportional to the rest of your face - More symmetrical ears - Better appearance leading to increased confidence and overall quality of life But even though the results are permanent, it’s possible to have some minor degree of relaxation while recovering. Our surgeons will typically overcorrect the ears slightly to account for this relaxation. #### Otoplasty *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Otoplasty Done in Newport Beach, Orange County With a Newport Beach otoplasty, you can achieve the ear size, shape, and appearance that you have always desired. **But to make sure that you get the best results, select a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive training and experience in the arena of facial surgeries, like Dr. Agha of The One Plastic Surgery Center.** --- ## Ozempic Body: Why Rapid Weight Loss Causes Loose Skin and How Surgery Can Help **Link:** [Ozempic Body: Why Rapid Weight Loss Causes Loose Skin and How Surgery Can Help](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/ozempic-body-why-rapid-weight-loss-causes-loose-skin-and-how-surgery-can-help/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/ozempic-body-why-rapid-weight-loss-causes-loose-skin-and-how-surgery-can-help/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn why Ozempic body and loose skin occur after GLP-1 weight loss and how body contouring surgery can help with Dr. Siamak Agha in Newport Beach. ### Content --- ## Ozempic Face: Facial Changes After GLP-1 Weight Loss and Treatment Options in Newport Beach **Link:** [Ozempic Face: Facial Changes After GLP-1 Weight Loss and Treatment Options in Newport Beach](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/ozempic-face-facial-changes-glp1-weight-loss-treatment-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/ozempic-face-facial-changes-glp1-weight-loss-treatment-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how Ozempic face after GLP-1 weight loss can be treated with advanced facial rejuvenation by Dr. Siamak Agha in Newport Beach. ### Content --- ## Ozempic Face: Why Rapid Weight Loss Can Change Facial Appearance **Link:** [Ozempic Face: Why Rapid Weight Loss Can Change Facial Appearance](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/ozempic-face-why-rapid-weight-loss-can-change-facial-appearance/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/ozempic-face-why-rapid-weight-loss-can-change-facial-appearance/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn why Ozempic face occurs after rapid weight loss and explore treatments to restore facial volume and youthful balance. ### Content --- ## Ozempic Weight Loss and Plastic Surgery: What Patients Need to Know **Link:** [Ozempic Weight Loss and Plastic Surgery: What Patients Need to Know](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/ozempic-weight-loss-plastic-surgery-what-patients-need-to-know/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/ozempic-weight-loss-plastic-surgery-what-patients-need-to-know/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how plastic surgery after Ozempic or GLP-1 weight loss can treat loose skin and restore body contours with Dr. Siamak Agha in Newport Beach. ### Content --- ## Patient Resources **Link:** [Patient Resources](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/patient-resources/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/patient-resources/index.html.md)) **Description:** Patient Resources Where can I find patient forms and other resources?

BODY CONTOURING PROCEDURES ### Content In this section, you will find recovery instructions for: - Arm Lift - Tummy Tucks - Inner and Outer Thigh Lift, Vertical Thighplasty - Lower Body Lift - Upper Body Lift, J-Thoracoplasty, Reverse Tummy Tuck - Buttocks Implant - Buttocks Lift - Liposuction - Buttocks Fat Transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift) The results and outcome of your plastic surgery is largely dictated by your healing and recovery. This is as important as having a great surgery itself. Thus, it is imperative that your recovery is planned well and this time is treated as a “Recovery Vacation”. That means minimal activities, optimal nutritional intake, rest, healing, and taking it super easy. Refrain from leaving your house unless coming for follow ups or until cleared to do so by our team. Arrange to have a care giver to help you while recovering. A care giver should be helping you with: - Ambulation - Meals and Eating - Dressing Changes and Drain care - Getting in and out of chair/bed Your recovery time will depend on how quickly your body heals and how extensive the procedure is. Typically, incisions take 6 weeks to heal. Healing is not only necessary for skin incisions but also the deeper fatty layers. Skin typically appears to be mostly healed by 3 weeks but the deeper layer takes much longer and you need to be patient for optimal healing. You can go home with a friend or family member after spending an hour or two in the recovery room. We can also provide a private duty nurse to care for you at home. The key to a successful recovery is to abide by Dr. Agha’s instructions. #### General Instructions for Body Contouring Surgeries **Day of Surgery-** When you wake up from your procedure, you will be in the recovery room and will be wearing compression dressings or a garment. You should plan to wear compression garments for 6-12 weeks following surgery. This controls swelling, conforms the underlying tissue, and aids in skin contraction. **Caregiver- **When patients leave the surgery facility to go home, they are groggy for about 12 hours or overnight. It is very important to have an adult to assist you with getting home and taking your medications for at least the first 24 hours. However, a caregiver can be of immense help for the first 7-14 days after many body contouring surgeries and even longer after a lower body lift.\ **Early Ambulation- **You’re likely to feel sore for a few days, but you should attempt to get out of the bed in 24 hours. This is the best way to reduce the chance of getting a blood clot in the legs. Walk every 3 hours indoor for 5 to 10 minutes with help within your house. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by the prescribed painkillers. **Nausea-** Most people are nauseated during the first 24-72 hours. To reduce this, we suggest that you take your nausea pill one hour before taking your pain medication or antibiotics. **Sleep-** If you have had a tummy tuck or a lower body lift, attempt to sleep on several pillows on your back. Also, keep your legs slightly bent at the hips. This ensures that the tension on your front incisions are minimized, reducing pain and resulting in a thinner scar. **Painkillers-** You’re likely to feel sore for a few days, but you should be up and walking within your home in 24 hours. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by the prescribed painkillers. **Pain Pump-** You may have a pain pump at the surgical site. The pain pump releases a constant dose of a long-lasting numbing medication known as Marcaine. You do not have to do anything to the pain pump. **Do not subject your surgical incisions to excessive force**, abrasion, or motion while it’s healing. **Dressing** – After surgery, it is important to have your incisions dabbed clean daily with Dakins solution and then covered with ABD dressings. **Drains: **Drains will remove fluid that exudes from tissues after surgery. The sooner the fluid is removed, the faster the tissues will heal back. Thus, drains are your friends. They must be secured, cleaned with alcohol of Dakins solution twice a day, milked every 3 hours, and emptied a few times a day. Log total drain output per 24-hour periods. **Bruising-** There will be bruising at surgical sites as well as in adjacent or dependent areas. For example, you may note bruising and swelling in the back of your thighs and your genitalia. This is not because these areas were actually liposuctioned. However, bruises usually move downward due to gravity, and can thus temporarily accumulate in the genitalia. Occasionally, bruising can last a longer time. Sun tanning after surgery can cause these bruises to become long-lasting skin stains. **Shower: **Do not bath or Shower till cleared by Dr. Agha. All drains must be removed before you can shower. Also, your incisions must be sealed closed. Tap water has bacteria such as ***Pseudomonas***in it which can cause infection of the surgical site and openings. Thus, patience is a must and only after our team clears you then you may shower. **Constipation: **You may take OTC laxatives (such as Colace) to avoid developing constipation on narcotics. Should you develop diarrhea, you must inform our team immediately. **Post-operative Visit-** This will be scheduled before your surgery. Have a **friend or a family member** accompany you to the clinic and back to your home. **Swelling-** Swelling after surgery is common and to be expected. Swelling is not symmetrical and one side may swell more than another. Swelling may take 6-12 weeks to subside. **Driving** – You may drive when driving does not cause pain. This usually occurs in 2-3 weeks. It is not safe to drive a car within twenty-four hours of taking pain medication as your reflexes and alertness may be altered. **Walking**– You will probably be unable to stand fully upright for 10-14 days after a tummy tuck or a lower body lift. Using a walker and hunched over, start walking as soon as possible, usually the evening of surgery. This is the best way to reduce the chance of blood clotting in the legs. **Light Exercise-** We recommends light exercise to prevent blood clots. Light exercise includes walking, as well as moving your arms and legs on regular basis while sitting. You should avoid all activities that can put excessive force or stress on your incisions and the operative area until you have fully healed. **Activities-** During the first 3-4 weeks after surgery, avoid activities that raise your blood pressure, stress the operative site, or pull the incisions. These could cause bleeding at the operative site, which could result in a hematoma (collection of blood). They can also worsen swelling and result in fluid accumulation (seroma) and can also break your sutures and result in opening of the suture line or widening of the scar). Walking is the safest exercise, especially during the first week. Avoid exercises which directly stress the area of your surgery for a full 6 weeks. After this period, cardiovascular activities, such as riding a stationary bicycle or brisk walking, may be initiated. Running at this point may be premature. Avoid heavy lifting, contact sports, and jogging for up to 8 weeks. Eight weeks after surgery, you will be nearing your pre-operative state. Avoid pulling at the surgical area to maximize healing and minimize scarring. **Healing-** You will need 4-6 weeks to recover and heal from a procedure. The typical healing time is about 6 weeks for most breast and body procedures. **Scarring-** Every person’s body is different, and many factors contribute to scar healing. Your scars will be firm and pink for about six weeks. Non-smokers and those who follow the Our Enhanced Recovery Program have a better chance of rapid healing and thinner scarring. Expect to wait at least nine months before your scars lighten in color and become as flat as the rest of your skin. **Numbness-** All surgical areas may stay numb for weeks to months. Massage will help to desensitize your skin in order to avoid hypersensitivity or skin irritation. **Follow-ups-** Regular check-ups protect against complications. We will be recommending scar treatments during your follow up appointments at 3, 6 and 12 months. **Emergencies –** Some discomfort is expected following your surgery. Be sure to tell us if: - There is an increase in swelling, pain, redness, drainage, or bleeding in the surgical area. - You develop fever, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, or a general ill feeling. - If you experience shortness of breath, chest pains, or unusual heartbeats, seek medical attention immediately. Should any of these complications occur, you may require hospitalization and additional treatment. --- ## RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS **Link:** [RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-breast/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-breast/index.html.md)) **Description:** Our comprehensive post-operative care for breast procedures ensures that you experience a smooth healing process, allowing you to enjoy your results fully.

That means minimal activities, optimal nutritional intake, rest, healing, and taking it super easy. Refrain from leaving your house unless coming for follow ups or until cleared to do so by our team. Arrange to have a care giver to help you while recovering. A care giver should be helping you with: - Ambulation - Meals and Eating - Dressing Changes and Drain care - Getting in and out of chair/bed Your recovery time will depend on how quickly your breasts heal and how extensive the procedure is. Typically, incisions take 6 weeks to heal. Healing is not only necessary for skin incisions but also the deeper fatty layers. Skin typically appears to be mostly healed by 3 weeks but the deeper layer takes much longer and you need to be patient for optimal healing. Recovery from breast surgeries varies from patient to patient and the type of surgery that was performed. But in general, all breast surgery recoveries have many common elements. Please read this as well as procedure specific instructions. #### General Instructions **Day of Surgery: **Upon waking up, you will be in the recovery room wearing a soft surgical bra or sports bra. Since all breast surgeries are outpatient procedures, you can go home within an hour or two with the help of a friend or family member. **Caregiver- **When patients leave the surgery facility to go home, they are groggy for about 12 hours or overnight. It is very important to have an adult to assist you with getting home and taking your medications for at least the first 24 hours. **Bruising-** There will be bruising at surgical sites as well as in adjacent or dependent areas. Bruising can last up to 2 weeks. Sun tanning immediately after surgery can cause these bruises to become long-lasting skin stains. **Early Ambulation- **You’re likely to feel sore for a few days, but you should attempt to get out of the bed in 24 hours.

To reduce this, we suggest that you take your nausea pill one hour before taking your pain medication or antibiotics. **Sleep- **It is recommended to sleep on your back during the first week of your recovery to ensure that your breast incisions are not subjected to pull or tension. **Avoid irritating your operative site** during the early phase of your recovery to prevent swelling, fluid accumulation, opening of sutures, and widening of the scar. Make sure to **avoid excessive force**, abrasion, or motion on your incision site as you heal. If you experience **dry skin** on your breasts after surgery, apply a moisturizer several times a day while keeping your incision site dry. **Pain-** You’re likely to feel sore for a few days to weeks, but you should be up and walking within your home in 24 hours. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by the prescribed painkillers. **Dressing** – After surgery, it is important to have your incisions dry and protected at all times. Cover your incisions with ABD dressings and change once daily. Continue with wearing your surgical bra. **Drains: **Drains may be used with more involved breast surgeries such as breast reduction, breast lift, and breast restoration approaches. Drains will remove fluid that exudes from tissues after surgery. The sooner the fluid is removed, the faster the tissues will heal back. Thus, drains are your friends. They must be secured, cleaned with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide twice a day, milked every 3 hours, and emptied a few times a day. Log total drain output per 24-hour periods. **Shower: **Do not bath or shower till cleared by Dr. Agha. If you have drains, they must be removed before you can shower. Also, your incisions must be sealed closed before you can get them wet. Tap water has bacteria such as *Pseudomonas *in it which can cause infection of the surgical site and openings. Thus, patience is a must and only after our team clears you for showering. **First Post-operative Visit-** This will be scheduled before your surgery. **Swelling-** Swelling after surgery is common and to be expected. Swelling is not symmetrical and one side may swell more than another. Swelling may take 3- 6 weeks to subside. **Sensation**: You may experience a burning sensation in your nipples for up to two weeks. You might also notice swelling on your breasts for a few weeks, with your skin looking particularly shiny. Keep in mind that it is possible for your two breasts to heal differently. **Driving** – You may drive when driving does not cause pain. This usually occurs in 2-3 weeks. It is not safe to drive a car within twenty-four hours of taking pain medication as your reflexes and alertness may be altered. It is important that the surgical incisions are not subjected to excessive force, abrasion, or motion during the time of healing. **Healing-** You will need a few weeks to recover and heal from a procedure. The typical healing time is about 6 weeks for most breast and body procedures. **Light Exercise-** We recommend light exercise to prevent blood clots. Light exercise includes walking, as well as moving your arms, legs, and ankles while sitting. If you should feel pain or pulling at the incision site, cease the movement. You should avoid all activities that can put excessive force or stress on your incisions and the operative area until you have fully healed. **Activities-** During the first week after surgery, avoid activities that raise your blood pressure. This could cause bleeding at the operative site, which could result in a hematoma (collection of blood). Walking is the safest exercise. Avoid exercises which directly stress the area of your surgery for a full 6 weeks. After this period, cardiovascular activities, such as riding a stationary bicycle or brisk walking, can be initiated. Running at this point may be premature.

Expect to wait at least nine months before your scars lighten in color and become as flat as the rest of your skin. To ensure good scar healing, wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when outside. **Numbness-** All surgical areas may stay numb for weeks to months. Massage will help to desensitize your skin in order to avoid hypersensitivity or skin irritation. **Mammogram**: Routine mammograms should be continued after breast surgeries for women who are in the appropriate age group, although the mammography technician should use a special technique to assure that you get a reliable reading. Make sure to inform your mammographer if you have breast implants. **Follow-ups-** Regular check-ups protect against complications. We will be recommending scar treatments during your follow up appointments at 3, 6 and 12 months. **Emergencies –** Some discomfort is expected following your surgery. Be sure to tell us if: - There is an increase in swelling, pain, redness, drainage, or bleeding in the surgical area. - You develop fever, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, or a general ill feeling. - If you experience shortness of breath, chest pains, or unusual heartbeats, seek medical attention immediately.

FACE PROCEDURES ### Content The results and outcome of your facial plastic surgery is influenced by your healing and recovery. This is as important as having a great surgery itself. Thus, it is imperative that your recovery is planned well. That means minimal activities, optimal nutritional intake, rest, healing, and taking it super easy. You may wish to arrange to have a care giver to help you for a day or two. A care giver should be helping you with: - Ambulation - Meals and Eating - Dressing Changes and Drain care - Getting in and out of chair/bed Your recovery time will depend on how quickly you heal and how extensive the facial surgery is. Typically, smaller surgeries will heal faster than the more extensive full facial rejuvenation. Healing is not only necessary for skin incisions but also the deeper layers. Skin typically appears to be mostly healed by 7 days but the deeper facial layers take longer to heal. #### General Instructions **Day of Surgery-** When you wake up from your procedure, you will be in the recovery room and will be wearing compression dressings. You should plan to wear compression dressings for about 7 days. This controls swelling. **Caregiver- **When patients leave the surgery center after general anesthesia, they are groggy for about 12 hours or overnight. It is very important to have an adult to assist you with getting home and taking your medications for at least the first 24 hours. **Pain-** Expect **soreness** during the first few days after facial surgery. You can control the pain by taking OTC pain medications for the smaller procedures or prescribed painkillers. **Early Ambulation- **You should attempt to get out of the bed the first night. This is the best way to reduce the chance of getting a blood clot in the legs. Walk every 3 hours indoor for 5 to 10 minutes with help of a care giver. **Nausea-** If you experience nausea, take your nausea pill one hour before taking your pain medication or antibiotics. **Sleep-** During the first week after facial surgery, attempt to sleep on several pillows to keep you head high. This reduces facial swelling. **Incision Care**– After surgery, apply a thin layer of Bacitracin ointment to your facial incisions or Ophthalmic Bacitracin ointment to your eyelid incisions, several times a day to keep them moist. **Dressings-** Change dressings daily for the first 7 days. Use like for like. **Drains: You may have a small drain after a forehead and facelift surgeries. **Drains will remove fluid that exudes from tissues after surgery. The sooner the fluid is removed, the faster the tissues will heal back. Thus, drains are your friends. They must be secured, cleaned with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide twice a day, milked every 3 hours, and emptied a few times a day. Drains are typically removed in the first 48 hours. **Bruising-** There will be bruising at surgical sites as well as in adjacent or dependent areas. For example, you may note bruising and swelling around the eyes after forehead surgery. Bruising may last up to 2 weeks. Avoid, sunshine since it can cause bruises to become long-lasting skin stains. **Ice:** Use ice on the surgical sites to reduce bruising. Apply ice as a frozen pea bag for 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. You can do one side for 20 minutes and then the other side and continue as often as you can. **Shower: **Do not bath or shower till cleared by Dr. Agha. If you have drains, they must be removed before you can shower. Also, your incisions must be sealed closed before you can get them wet. Tap water has bacteria such as *Pseudomonas *in it which can cause infection of the surgical site and openings. Thus, patience is a must and only after our team clears you for showering. Make sure that you use gentle shampoo when washing your hair to avoid irritation on your incision site. You may use baby shampoo while your incisions are healing. **First Post-operative Visit-** This will be scheduled before your surgery. **Swelling-** Swelling after surgery is common and to be expected. Swelling is not symmetrical and one side may swell more than another. Swelling may take 2 or more weeks subside. **Driving** – You may drive when driving does not cause pain or when you are not on pain medications. It is not safe to drive a car within twenty-four hours of taking narcotic pain medication as your reflexes and alertness may be altered. **Light Exercise-** We recommends light exercise to prevent blood clots. Light exercise includes walking, as well as moving your arms and legs while sitting. If you should feel pain or pulling at the incision site, cease the movement. **Activities-** During the first week after surgery, avoid activities that raise your blood pressure. This could cause bleeding at the operative site, which could result in a hematoma (collection of blood). Walking is the safest exercise, especially during the first week. Cardiovascular activities, such as riding a stationary bicycle or brisk walking, can be initiated after about 4 weeks. Avoid heavy lifting, contact sports, and jogging for up to 6 to 8 weeks. Eight weeks after surgery, you will be nearing your pre-operative state. **Scarring-** Many factors contribute to scar healing. Your scars will be pink for about six weeks. Non-smokers and those who follow Our Enhanced Recovery Program have a better chance of rapid healing and thinner scarring.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Completing Your Transformation After Weight Loss Losing a significant amount of weight is a major accomplishment. Whether the weight loss comes from bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, diet, exercise, or a combination of methods, it can improve health, confidence, and mobility. However, for many patients, the physical transformation does not end when the weight comes off. After massive weight loss, the skin and soft tissues often do not shrink back to fit the body’s smaller size. Instead, loose skin may remain on the abdomen, arms, breasts, chest, back, buttocks, thighs, face, neck, and even the calves. This excess skin can cause irritation, rashes, redness, inflammation, odor, hygiene problems, ulceration, and difficulty wearing properly fitted clothing. It can also interfere with exercise, intimacy, daily comfort, and the ability to fully enjoy the results of weight loss. [.divider-lines] For many patients, plastic surgery after weight loss is the final stage of the transformation. It is not simply about removing skin. It is about restoring body shape, improving support, tightening loose tissue, and rebuilding proportion after the body has gone through dramatic change.[] At The One Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Siamak Agha MD, PhD, FACS specializes in advanced body contouring after weight loss. His approach is highly individualized because weight loss patients rarely have just one isolated problem. Most have a combination of vertical laxity, horizontal laxity, excess skin, remaining fat, tissue descent, flattening, deflation, and loss of curves. #### Why Skin Becomes Loose After Weight Loss As the body gains weight, the skin stretches to accommodate the larger body size. With repeated cycles of weight gain and loss, the skin’s dermal elasticity and the underlying connective tissue framework can become damaged. This connective tissue layer helps hold the skin tightly against the structures beneath it. Once it weakens, the skin may not contract well after weight loss. This is why many post-weight-loss patients are left with hanging folds, stretch marks, and loose tissue even after reaching a healthy weight. The issue is not lack of effort. The skin has simply been stretched beyond what it can naturally recover from. Bariatric surgery and other major weight-loss methods can produce dramatic changes, sometimes over a relatively short period of time. The [ASMBS](https://asmbs.org/) (American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery) estimated more than 270,000 bariatric procedures in the United States in 2023, and many of these patients later experience excess skin and body contour changes that require surgical correction. The [ASPS](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/) (American Society if Plastic Surgeons) explains that after substantial weight loss, the skin and tissues often lack the elasticity to conform to the reduced body size #### Vertical and Horizontal Skin Laxity After Weight Loss One of the most important concepts in post-weight-loss body contouring is understanding the direction of skin laxity. Some patients have mostly **vertical laxity**, meaning the skin hangs downward. Others also have **horizontal or circumferential laxity**, meaning the tissue is loose around the body and creates excess width. Many patients have both. This distinction matters because different procedures correct different dimensions of laxity. A standard tummy tuck may improve the front of the abdomen, but it may not fully address waist laxity, hip rolls, outer thigh descent, buttock sagging, or circumferential looseness. Similarly, a short-scar arm lift may not be enough if laxity extends from the elbow through the armpit and into the upper chest or back. Dr. Agha evaluates post-weight-loss patients by looking at: - Skin and tissue excess vertically - Skin and tissue excess horizontally - Amount of remaining fat beneath the skin - Loss of curves and body shape - Tissue descent of the breasts, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms, and back - How one body region affects another #### How Weight Loss Changes Each Area of the Body After major weight loss, many patients experience changes across the entire body rather than in one isolated area. This is why Dr. Agha’s consultation process focuses on the full pattern of laxity, not just the most obvious concern. #### Post Weight Loss Specialized Procedures *OFFERED BY DR. AGHA AT THE ONE PLASTIC SURGERY CENTER* - [Facelift with extended neck lift](/facelift-newport-beach/) - [Arm lift and L-brachioplasty](/arm-lift-newport-beach/) - [Extended Tummy Tuck](/tummy-tuck-types-newport-beach/) - [Circumferential Tummy Tuck](/breast-reduction-newport-beach/) - [High-definition Lower Body Lift](/breast-lift-newport-beach/)– includes the abdomen, waist, pubic areas, outer thighs, and buttocks - [Breast Augmentation](/breast-augmentation-newport-beach/), [Breast Reduction](/breast-reduction-newport-beach/), [Breast Lift](/breast-lift-newport-beach/), [Breast Fat Transfer](/breast-fat-transfer-newport-beach/) - [Reverse Tummy Tuck](/tummy-tuck-types-newport-beach/) - [Thigh lift](/thigh-lift-newport-beach/), [Thighplasty](/thighplasty-post-bariatric/), Thigh Reduction - [Upper Back Lift](/upper-body-lift-newport-beach/) / back fold excision - [Buttock Lift](/buttock-enhancement-newport-beach/) - [Buttock Augmentation and Lift](/buttock-enhancement-newport-beach/) - [Buttock Reshaping](/buttock-augmentation-post-bariatric/)– Reducing width, augmenting projection and roundness, and lifting - [Liposuction and Liposculpting](/liposuction-and-liposculpting-post-bariatric/) - [Calf Reduction](/calf-reduction-surgery-post-bariatric/) - [Forearm Reduction](/forearm-reduction-post-bariatric/) - [Flankplasty](/flankplasty-post-bariatric/) [The ASPS](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/news/blog/how-to-prepare-for-post-weight-loss-body-contouring-surgery) lists arm lift, breast lift, facelift, lower body lift, medial thigh lift, and tummy tuck among common body contouring procedures after major weight loss. However, post-weight-loss surgery is rarely a “menu” decision. The correct plan depends on how the patient’s tissue has changed and which procedures can be safely combined. #### What Determines the Amount of Loose Skin? #### Is Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss Right for You? You may be a candidate for plastic surgery after weight loss if you have reached a stable weight and are bothered by loose skin, sagging tissue, rashes, hygiene issues, body shape changes, or difficulty wearing clothing comfortably. The best candidates are generally patients who: - Have maintained significant weight loss - Are close to their goal weight - Are medically stable for surgery - Do not smoke or are willing to stop before surgery - Have realistic expectations - Understand that multiple areas may need staged correction - Want a customized surgical plan rather than a generic procedure Because post-weight-loss body contouring can involve several areas of the body, Dr. Agha will determine which procedures can be combined safely and which should be staged over time. --- ## PLUS SIZE TUMMY TUCK **Link:** [PLUS SIZE TUMMY TUCK](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/plus-size-tummy-tuck-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/plus-size-tummy-tuck-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Have your plus size tummy tuck surgery with Dr. Siamak Agha MD, PhD, FACS, one of the leading body contouring surgeons in the world. NEWPORT BEACH ### Content If you have a larger body type and want to flatten, tighten, and reshape your abdomen, you may wish to learn that a **plus size tummy tuck** is a safe and effective option for many patients. Being “plus size” does not automatically disqualify you from abdominoplasty. In fact, when performed by an experienced body contouring surgeon, a plus size tummy tuck can dramatically improve both appearance and quality of life. A plus size tummy tuck is specifically designed for individuals with higher body weight who struggle with excess abdominal skin, fat, and weakened muscles. [.divider-lines] This customized procedure removes excess tissue, tightens the abdominal wall, and reshapes the midsection to create a smoother, firmer, and more proportionate abdomen. For many patients, the results provide a significant boost in confidence and comfort. [] Beyond aesthetics, the benefits of a plus size tummy tuck often extend into daily living. Removing hanging skin folds can reduce chronic irritation and chafing, improve hygiene, allow clothing to fit more comfortably, and make physical activity far more enjoyable after recovery. Many patients find that once excess skin is removed, exercise becomes easier, movement improves, and motivation to maintain a healthy lifestyle increases. #### WHY CHOOSE DR. SIAMAK AGHA FOR YOUR PLUS SIZE TUMMY TUCK Plus size tummy tuck surgery requires a higher level of expertise than standard abdominoplasty. Patients with larger body types have unique anatomical considerations, including thicker tissue layers, altered blood supply, and a higher need for meticulous surgical planning. A **plus size tummy tuck** requires more than just surgical skill—it demands precision, experience, and a deep understanding of body contouring for larger body types. Choosing the right surgeon is critical, and **Dr. Siamak Agha** is a leading expert in advanced body contouring who brings all these qualities—and more—to his patients. Dr. Siamak Agha is internationally recognized for his expertise in advanced and complex body contouring procedures, including tummy tucks, **extended abdominoplasty, reverse tummy tuck, plus size revisions, and multi-area body contouring.** Patients with larger body types require careful planning to safely remove excess skin, contour fat, and tighten abdominal muscles without compromising blood flow or healing. Dr. Agha’s experience allows him to anticipate challenges unique to plus size patients and to deliver results that are both safe and aesthetically pleasing. #### WHAT IS A PLUS SIZE TUMMY TUCK A plus size tummy tuck is not a one-size-fits-all operation. Instead, it is a **highly customized form of abdominoplasty **tailored to the anatomy, goals, and medical needs of patients with a larger body frame. While the foundational principles are similar to a traditional tummy tuck—removing excess skin and fat and tightening abdominal muscles—the surgical approach is modified to safely and effectively address more extensive tissue laxity. In many cases, the procedure involves a longer incision and more comprehensive contouring of the waist, hips, and flanks. The goal is not simply to flatten the abdomen, but to restore balance and proportion to the entire midsection. When done correctly, the results look natural and harmonious with the patient’s overall body shape. #### Who Benefits from a Plus Size Tummy Tuck? Most patients who pursue a plus size tummy tuck have experienced **significant weight loss**—whether through lifestyle changes, medical weight loss programs, GLP-1 medications, or bariatric surgery—but remain on the overweight side of the scale. Others may have carried excess weight for many years and developed stretched abdominal skin and muscles that do not respond to exercise. - Good candidates for a plus size tummy tuck typically: - Have excess abdominal skin and fat that causes discomfort or dissatisfaction - Experience skin irritation, chafing, or hygiene challenges due to skin folds - Have weakened or separated abdominal muscles - Are at a relatively stable weight - Are medically healthy enough to undergo elective surgery Being plus size alone does not disqualify someone from surgery. What matters most is **overall health**. Patients should not have serious, uncontrolled medical conditions such as advanced heart disease, poorly controlled diabetes, or severe respiratory disorders. During your consultation, Dr. Agha conducts a thorough medical evaluation to determine whether surgery can be performed safely. Just as important as physical health is emotional readiness. Dr. Agha ensures that patients have realistic expectations, understand the recovery process, and are prepared for the commitment required to achieve the best possible outcome. #### How Is a Plus Size Tummy Tuck Performed? A plus size tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes three to four hours, depending on the complexity of the case. [**Book your consultation for a plus tummy tuck in Orange County**](#schedule-consult-footer-form) #### COMBINING A PLUS SIZE TUMMY TUCK WITH OTHER PROCEDURES In some cases, a plus size tummy tuck may be combined with additional procedures to enhance overall body balance. Common combinations include: - Dr. Agha's pioneered Anterior (front) thigh lift - Outer thigh lift - Liposuction for contour refinement These combined procedures can further reduce excess tissue, lift sagging areas, and improve the appearance of dimpling or cellulite. Addressing the abdomen, waist, and thighs together often helps patients achieve a more cohesive and feminine hourglass shape. #### RECOVERY AND HEALING Recovery after a plus size tummy tuck requires patience and careful adherence to postoperative instructions. Swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort are expected, but these symptoms gradually improve over time. Dr. Agha provides a [detailed recovery plan](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-body/) that includes guidance on activity restrictions, compression garments, wound care, and follow-up visits. Following this plan closely is essential for safe healing and optimal results. Many patients report that while recovery requires commitment, the long-term improvements in comfort, mobility, and self-confidence make the journey worthwhile. ####

Reconstruction can restore the patient's chest muscle structure. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Having physical deformities can cause a massive blow to your confidence and self-esteem. So just imagine how depressing it can be to find out that one side of your chest wall is not only deformed but completely missing. Also known as Poland anomaly or Poland sequence, Poland syndrome is characterized by the complete or partial absence of the chest muscle. It was named after Sir Alfred Poland, the first person to present an account of this rare condition in the 19th century. Poland syndrome is listed as a rare disease by the US National Institutes of Health. According to the National Human Genome Research Institute, it only occurs in 1 out of 10,000 to 100,000 people. Learn more about this rare condition as you read the rest of this post. #### What is Poland Syndrome? Poland syndrome is a malformation involving the underdevelopment or complete absence of the chest muscle on one side of the body. There is often webbing of the fingers on the same side as the chest wall anomaly. Although Poland syndrome can affect either side, it is three times more likely to happen on the body’s right side. It is not hereditary and occurs more frequently in men than women, although the reason is unknown. And while most conditions are present at birth, the symptoms may not be apparent until they hit puberty, when the difference between the two sides of the body becomes more evident. #### What Causes Poland Syndrome? Like many rare diseases, the exact cause of Poland syndrome is unknown. However, some clinicians speculate that it may involve a lack of blood flow through the arteries around the 6th week of life — a critical point during fetal growth. The diminished blood flow may be responsible for the malformation, as it is also during this time that the fingers and chest muscles are developing. There isn’t any clear proof or concrete clinical studies proving this suggestion at present. #### What are the Signs and Symptoms of Poland Syndrome? Poland syndrome has many physical characteristics, such as the following: - Asymmetrical body frame, creating a lopsided position - Lack of chest wall muscle on one side of the body, creating a concave chest - Absent or underdeveloped nipple, areola, and breast on the affected side - Webbed and shortened fingers - Absence of underarm hair on the affected side The severity of the syndrome varies in each person, so additional features of the syndrome vary. These may include: - Abnormal and asymmetrical bone deformities on the arms - Fused or missing fingers - Shoulder blade deformity - Gastrointestinal and liver problems - Dextrocardia, in which the heart is on the right side of the body If not treated, Poland syndrome can lead to serious disability over time. It can impair your movements on one side of the body and limit your range of motion. #### How is Poland Syndrome Treated? Today, the outcome for those born with Poland syndrome is excellent. In most cases, the most viable treatment is breast reconstruction. Dr. Agha reconstructs the breast and nipple, then uses the existing muscles to rebuild the chest and fill in the missing portions. He also uses a custom-made silicone implant to create symmetry between the two chest sides if there is not enough muscle. Surgery may also involve grafting ribs and moving them to the right spot. Further surgery may be needed to correct the affected bone deformities, including those in your hands and fingers. If reconstructive surgery is attempted, it should be postponed until breast development is complete in both boys and girls. Surgery performed too early can result in more significant asymmetry. Having Poland syndrome should not define you and cause you undue stress.

POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content #### When Is The Best Time To Have Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss? If you have lost weight through exercise or diet, then you can have body contouring when you want after being medically cleared for surgery. However, if you have had weight loss surgery, then you must wait for the weight loss to stabilize before having plastic surgery. On average, gastric bypass patients lose 60% to 70% of their excess weight within the first 12 months after surgery. From a plastic surgery standpoint, the best time for plastic surgery and body contouring is probably between 12 to 24 months after weight loss. This is the time that patients have been able to drop most of their excess weight and have significant excess tissue and laxity. Unfortunately, this is also the time that most patients have minimal nutritional reserves following months of reduced food and calorie intake and continued malabsorption of fat, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. With up to 50% of reported nutritional deficiencies occurring within the first year of weight loss surgery, it is crucial to pay serious attention to the patient’s nutritional status prior to any body lift procedures. Dr. Agha has written multiple articles on the nutritional deficiency of the weight loss patients with the aim of making his colleagues aware of this important fact. These include: - Nutrition Deficiency of Post-Bariatric Body Contouring Patients: What Every Plastic Surgeon Should Know. (2008) S. Agha-Mohammadi and D.J. Hurwitz. *Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. *122 (2): 604-613. - Potential Impacts of Nutrition Deficiency of Post-Bariatric patients in Body Contouring Surgery (2008). S. Agha-Mohammadi and D.J. Hurwitz. (*To appear in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. *122(6):1901-1914. - Enhanced recovery after body-contouring surgery: reducing surgical complication rates by optimizing nutrition (2010). Agha-Mohammadi S, Hurwitz DJ. *Aesthetic Plastic Surgery* 34(5):617-25. #### Nutrients Commonly Deficient In Weight Loss Surgery *Patients and Their Impact On Wound Healing And Immune Response Activity* #### Pre-Operative Planning *Physical and Tests* Although many medical conditions resolve themselves with weight loss, long-term obesity can have lasting impacts on the organs. The demands of extreme weight on the body can cause cardiac disease, pulmonary issues, diabetes, etc. Prior to surgery, you will be asked to obtain specific laboratory tests to assess your nutritional reserves, your liver and kidney functions, blood clotting ability, and cell counts. A careful medical evaluation by your primary care physician is also necessary prior to plastic surgery by Dr. Agha. Depending on your age and health status, you may also need additional studies, such as a chest x-ray, electrocardiogram, stress tests, mammogram, etc. The specific set of tests is determined on patient by patient basis. Dr. Agha takes every surgery seriously and his first priority is your safety. These precautions are taken to ensure that you will be safe and to rule out the possibility of medical issues that could compromise your surgery. --- ## Preparing for Your Plastic Surgery Consultation: Tips for Success **Link:** [Preparing for Your Plastic Surgery Consultation: Tips for Success](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/preparing-for-your-plastic-surgery-consultation-tips-for-success/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/preparing-for-your-plastic-surgery-consultation-tips-for-success/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how to prepare for your plastic surgery consultation.

Recovery timelines can vary but guidelines are generally the same for every patient. POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content - Start optimizing your nutrition 3-4 weeks before surgery - Book your extended stay lodging close to the office. Our office is only a few miles from the Orange County Airport and there are many affordable hotels nearby. - Purchase your post-op dressings. - Purchase a toilet raiser and a walker - Lease an electric recliner chair - Take 120 to 150 grams of protein per day. We recommend ProCare which has protein and many vitamins for tissue repair and healing. You can obtain this product at: www.nutressential.com - Plan to stay local for about 4 weeks - Bring a close family member for support and care - Do not shower until cleared to do so. Tap water has pseudomons which is a nasty bacteria and can lead to infection - It is wise to allow eight weeks before exercising. Every situation is unique, so make sure to ask Dr. Agha when it is okay for you to get back to your usual activities. #### Please watch and follow the instruction of these videos. #### Recovery from Body Lift Surgery Dr. Agha performs his lower or upper body lift procedures at Newport Surgical Arts, an Accrediated Ambulatory Surgery Center. For out-of-state patients, you should plan to stay locally for 4 weeks after a lower body lift, and 3 weeks for upper body lift. - **Day of Surgery **– When you wake up from your procedure, you will be in the recovery room and will be wearing a binder or garment. You should plan to wear the compression garment for four to six weeks following surgery. - **Caregiver **– Both lower and upper body lift procedures involve multiple surgical procedures performed in one setting. Thus, it is very important to have someone who can assist you with getting around, preparing meals, cleaning you, helping with walking and bathroom trips, taking medications, drain care, driving, dressing change, etc. for at least two weeks. - **Nausea**– Most people are nauseated during the first 3-5 days. To reduce this, take your nausea pill one hour before taking your pain medication or antibiotics. - **Sleep **– During the first week after your lower body lift, attempt to sleep on your sides or in a recliner chair. Also, keep your legs slightly bent at the hips and knees. This ensures that the tension on your abdominal incision is minimized, reducing pain and resulting in a thinner scar. - **Heparin injections **– As the major risk of Plastic Surgery is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), you will be given prescriptions for heparin injections. These are blood thinner injections that should be started before any travel to California and continued for 3 weeks after surgery. - **Painkillers **– You’re likely to feel sore for a few days, but you should be up and around in 24 hours. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by the prescribed painkillers. - **Shower**– Do not take a shower or bath until cleared by Dr. Agha. Your incisions must be healed and sealed closed and all your drains must be out before taking a shower. This is because tap water has pseudomons bacteria that can lead to surgical site infection and openings. - **First Post-operative Visit **– We will see you on Day 5 for your first post-operative visit. At this time. - **Swelling **– Swelling will take 3-6 months to subside. - **Driving** – You should not drive for at least 3 weeks after any surgery. Furthermore, it is not safe to drive a car within 24 hours of taking pain medication as your reflexes and alertness may be altered. - It is important that the **surgical incisions are not subjected to excessive force, abrasion, or motion** during the time of healing. - ** Walking **– You will probably be unable to stand fully upright for 10 to 14 days after a lower body lift. Even if you can’t stand straight, it is still important to start walking as soon as possible, usually the evening of surgery. This is the best way to reduce the chance of getting a blood clot in the legs. #### Recovery from Body Lift Surgery 13. **Light Exercise **– Dr. Siamak Agha recommends light exercise to reduce swelling and prevent clotting. Light exercise includes walking, stretching, and moving arms and legs while sitting. If you should feel pain or pulling from the scar area, cease the movement. 14. **Activities **– During the first week after surgery, you want to avoid activities that raise your blood pressure. This could cause bleeding at the operative site, which could result in a hematoma (collection of blood). Walking is the safest exercise, especially during the first week. Avoid exercises which directly stress the area of your surgery for a full six weeks. After this period, cardiovascular activities, such as brisk walking can be initiated. Running at this point may be premature. Avoid heavy lifting, contact sports, and jogging for up to 8 weeks. Eight weeks after body lift surgery, you will be nearing your pre-operative level. Avoid pulling at the surgical area to maximize healing and minimize scarring. 15. During the early phase of healing, **avoid pulling of the operative site as this can worsen swelling and fluid accumulation**. This could cause development of a seroma (fluid collection) or cause separation of the incision (opening of the suture line or widening of the scar). Even though the skin is closed, there are many activities taking place beneath the skin. 16. **Healing **– You will need a minimum of 6 weeks to recover and heal from your procedures. 17. **Scarring**– Every person’s body is different, and many factors contribute to scar healing. Your scars will be firm and pink for about six weeks. Non-smokers and those who follow the Enhanced Recovery Nutritional Supplements routine have a better chance of rapid healing and thinner scarring. Expect to wait at least nine months before your scars lighten in color and become as flat as the rest of your skin. Although they will never disappear completely, scars will not show under most clothing, even bathing suits. 18. **Follow-ups **– Regular check-ups protect against complications. 19. **Emergencies** – Although some discomfort is expected, be sure to tell us if: - There is an increase in swelling, pain, redness, drainage, or bleeding in the surgical area. - You develop fever, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, or a general ill feeling. If you experience **shortness of breath, chest pains, or unusual heartbeats,** call 911 immediately since these may be due to deep venous thrombosis. Should any of these complications occur, you may require hospitalization and additional treatment. --- ## Recovery Timeline for Neck Lift Surgery Explained **Link:** [Recovery Timeline for Neck Lift Surgery Explained](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/recovery-timeline-for-neck-lift-surgery-explained/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/recovery-timeline-for-neck-lift-surgery-explained/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn the neck lift recovery timeline from Dr. Siamak Agha at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach.

As you age, fine lines and wrinkles become visible around the eyes, nose, and mouth. Your once plump cheeks begin to look a little hollow while the rest of your facial skin sag. After all, many visible signs of aging can be traced to volume loss. Addressing this problem is the key to managing life with loose and sagging facial skin for the rest of your life. [.divider-lines]But thanks to Dr. Siamak Agha, one of the top plastic surgeons in Orange County and Los Angeles, you can restore your face’s lost volume using Restylane® dermal fillers.[] These fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to store moisture and give your skin a plump, hydrated look. It can smooth fine lines, soften creases, and enhance facial contours. Although a [facelift](/facelift-newport-beach/) will give you the best results, you can still feel confident with your facial appearance without undergoing any facial surgery through Restylane injections. Discover more about Restylane® and its benefits by reading the rest of this article. #### What is Restylane? Restylane® dermal fillers are made of biodegradable hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that provides volume and fullness to the skin. It attracts and holds water to help keep your skin plump and hydrated. These fillers are injected to get rid of moderate to severe wrinkles and nasolabial folds. Aside from smoothing out wrinkles, Restylane® can also be used to fill in scars and under-eye hollows. And because it can retain hydration, Restylane® can be used for non-surgical lip and cheek augmentation as well, plumping your lips and lifting your cheeks for a more youthful appearance. #### What are the Fillers in the Restylane Family? Restylane® prides itself on having the most diverse fillers in the market in terms of gel particle size and texture. It’s all thanks to two technologies used to stabilize the fillers’ hyaluronic acid molecules: NASHA and OBT. NASHA gels are characterized as firm, making them perfect for lifting and enhancing projection and definition. The hyaluronic acid was only minimally modified so that the body does not recognize it as foreign. NASHA technology is used for Restylane®, Restylane® Silk, and Restylane® Lyft. On the other hand, OBT gels are softer and more flexible than NASHA gels, making them excellent options for contouring and adding volume to the middle part of the face. It is also preferred for treating dynamic areas that require tissue support while maintaining animation, such as your lips, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### REVERSE TUMMY TUCK *UPPER ABDOMINAL REJUVENATION* While traditional tummy tucks focus on the lower and mid-abdomen, some patients struggle with excess skin and laxity in the upper abdominal region. This may appear as a roll of skin beneath the breasts, loose tissue along the upper abdomen, or a lack of smooth contour in the chest-to-abdomen transition. For these patients, a **reverse tummy tuck**, also known as a **reverse abdominoplasty**, provides a targeted solution. Often described as a “mini tummy tuck performed upside down,” this procedure addresses the upper abdomen rather than the lower abdomen treated in standard abdominoplasty. [.divider-lines]Unlike traditional tummy tucks, which remove skin and fat downward toward the pubic area, the reverse tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the upper abdominal area and lower chest and lifts the remaining skin upward toward the breasts. [] The procedure uses an incision along the **inframammary fold**—the natural crease beneath the breasts—allowing the resulting scar to be easily hidden beneath a bra or swimsuit. #### DR. SIAMAK AGHA EXPERTISE IN REVERSE TUMMY TUCK #### WHY A REVERSE TUMMY TUCK IS DIFFERENT Although the reverse tummy tuck offers impressive cosmetic benefits, it differs from a traditional tummy tuck in several important ways: - **Muscle Tightening Is Limited** – Unlike standard abdominoplasty, a reverse tummy tuck does not allow tightening of the abdominal muscles. Patients whose abdominal muscle integrity is compromised may require a traditional tummy tuck or other procedures for muscle repair. - **Limited Tissue Excision** – The amount of upper abdominal skin and fat that can be removed is smaller compared to a full tummy tuck, so careful patient selection is crucial. Because of these limitations, reverse tummy tuck procedures are less common and typically performed in combination with other surgeries, including: - Breast lift (mastopexy) - Breast reduction - Breast lift with implants - Upper body lift By combining procedures, Dr. Agha is able to enhance both the abdominal and chest areas simultaneously, producing a harmonious and youthful upper torso contour. #### WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR A REVERSE TUMMY TUCK? A reverse tummy tuck is ideal for patients who have: - **Upper abdominal skin laxity** – Loose skin primarily located above the belly button or just beneath the breasts. - **Minimal lower abdominal laxity **– Patients whose lower abdomen is already firm and does not require correction. - **Post-weight loss or post-pregnancy changes **– Patients who have lost significant weight or experienced pregnancy-related stretching in the upper abdomen. - **Concurrent breast procedures** – Patients undergoing a breast lift or breast reduction benefit from a shared incision along the inframammary fold. - **No need for abdominal muscle repair** – Since muscle tightening is not feasible through this incision, patients must have functional and intact abdominal muscles. Patient selection is critical to achieving optimal results. Dr. Agha emphasizes a thorough preoperative evaluation to assess skin quality, tissue elasticity, and overall health. He ensures that every candidate understands the limitations and expected outcomes of the procedure. #### HOW A REVERSE TUMMY TUCK IS PERFORMED [**Book your consultation for reverse tummy tuck in Orange County**](#schedule-consult-footer-form) Dr. Agha performs reverse abdominoplasty under **general anesthesia **to ensure patient comfort and safety. The procedure involves several meticulous steps: #### ADVANTAGES OF THE REVERSE TUMMY TUCK The reverse tummy tuck offers several unique benefits for appropriately selected patients: - **Minimally Visible Scarring **– By placing the incision along the inframammary fold, the scar is easily concealed under clothing or swimwear. - **Upper Abdominal Contouring** – Patients achieve a smoother, firmer upper abdomen, improving body proportions and enhancing the results of breast procedures. - **Combined Procedures** – Sharing the incision with a breast lift or reduction minimizes overall scarring and allows for comprehensive upper body rejuvenation. - **Enhanced Confidence **– Patients frequently report increased satisfaction with their upper torso contour, improved clothing fit, and greater confidence in their appearance. #### RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS Recovery from a reverse tummy tuck is generally straightforward, though patients should expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the initial healing phase. Dr. Agha provides [detailed post-operative instructions](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-body/), including: - Guidelines for activity restriction and gradual return to exercise - Recommendations for compression garments to support healing - Scar care and follow-up visits to monitor progress Patients typically resume normal activities within two to four weeks, with full results becoming apparent over several months as swelling resolves and tissue settles. #### FINAL THOUGHTS --- ## Revision Breast Augmentation: When and Why Patients Choose It **Link:** [Revision Breast Augmentation: When and Why Patients Choose It](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/revision-breast-augmentation-when-and-why-patients-choose-it/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/revision-breast-augmentation-when-and-why-patients-choose-it/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn when and why patients choose revision breast augmentation.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Second Time’s a Charm *Newport Beach Revision Plastic Surgery at The One Plastic Surgery Center* At The One Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, CA, we understand that the results of plastic surgery do not always meet expectations. While modern cosmetic surgery can deliver remarkable improvements, there are situations where the outcome of a previous procedure may leave patients dissatisfied. This can be discouraging, especially after investing time, trust, and resources into a procedure that was meant to enhance your appearance. Fortunately, revision plastic surgery provides a solution for patients who wish to improve or correct the results of a prior cosmetic procedure. Revision surgery focuses on addressing aesthetic concerns, correcting complications, and refining previous surgical outcomes so that patients can achieve results that better align with their goals. [.divider-lines]**Our board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Siamak Agha, MD, PhD, FACS, specializes in advanced revision procedures. With extensive experience in complex cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Agha frequently helps patients who have undergone procedures elsewhere but are unhappy with their results. Through careful evaluation and customized surgical planning, he works to correct imperfections and deliver natural-looking improvements.**[] Whether the concern involves asymmetry, poor scarring, incomplete correction, or complications from previous procedures, revision plastic surgery can help restore confidence and create more balanced and satisfying results. #### WHY CHOOSE DR. AGHA FOR YOUR REVISION PLASTIC SURGERY Revision plastic surgery requires a different level of expertise than primary cosmetic procedures. When a previous surgery has altered the anatomy, created scar tissue, or produced unexpected results, correcting those concerns demands careful surgical planning and advanced technical skill. Dr. Siamak Agha has extensive experience treating complex revision cases and is known for his methodical approach to evaluating previous surgical outcomes and identifying the most effective path toward improvement. At The One Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, Dr. Agha works closely with each patient to understand their concerns and develop a customized plan to refine or correct prior procedures. His focus is not simply on reversing previous results, but on restoring balance, proportion, and natural aesthetics. By combining advanced reconstructive techniques with detailed aesthetic judgment, Dr. Agha helps patients achieve results that look refined while restoring confidence in their appearance. #### Achieving Your Aesthetic Goals *What is Revision Plastic Surgery?* Plastic surgery continues to evolve with new techniques and technologies that allow surgeons to achieve increasingly refined results. However, even with these advancements, some procedures may not produce the outcome a patient expected. This can occur for many reasons, including surgical technique, healing complications, or changes in the body over time. Revision plastic surgery is a specialized field that focuses on correcting or improving the results of a previous cosmetic or reconstructive procedure. These surgeries can address aesthetic concerns such as asymmetry, irregular contours, poor scarring, or inadequate results. In some cases, revision surgery may also improve functional issues caused by earlier procedures. At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, revision procedures make up a significant portion of Dr. Agha’s practice. With over two decades of experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Agha regularly treats patients seeking improvements after previous cosmetic procedures. Patients often come to Dr. Agha after undergoing surgery elsewhere that did not produce the desired results. Revision surgery offers an opportunity to correct those issues and create outcomes that are more balanced, natural-looking, and aligned with the patient’s expectations. #### Beyond the First Cut *What to do if you’re unhappy* If you’re considering revision plastic surgery, it’s essential to understand these key points: #### Why Revision Surgery is on the Rise *What are the benefits of Revision Plastic Surgery?* As cosmetic surgery becomes more popular worldwide, the demand for revision procedures has also increased. There are several reasons why patients may seek revision surgery after their initial procedure. Common causes include: - Patients traveling overseas for cosmetic procedures where training standards and safety regulations may differ from those in the United States. - Insufficient attention to post-operative recovery, which can significantly affect surgical outcomes. - Surgical centers that lack proper accreditation or safety standards. - Procedures performed by physicians without formal plastic surgery training. Board-certified plastic surgeons in the United States undergo six years of specialized training in plastic and reconstructive surgery followed by rigorous board examinations. This extensive training ensures they have the expertise needed to perform complex procedures safely. In contrast, some physicians may receive only short-term cosmetic surgery training before offering cosmetic procedures. This difference in training can have a major impact on the quality of surgical results. #### When to Consider Revision Plastic Surgery *Your Revision Plastic Surgery Procedures* While cosmetic surgery is designed to improve appearance, sometimes the results may require additional refinement. Revision surgery allows patients to correct imperfections, improve symmetry, or enhance the outcome of previous procedures. Dr. Siamak Agha specializes in a wide range of revision procedures, including: #### Correcting the Past, Shaping the Future: *Your Revision Plastic Surgery Consultation* Dr. Agha is known for his meticulous attention to detail and commitment to patient satisfaction. During a consultation, your concerns will be carefully evaluated and a customized revision plan will be developed based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content The nose plays a central role in facial harmony, so an unsatisfactory rhinoplasty result can be especially noticeable and discouraging. Some patients may be left with an irregular bridge, an overdone or poorly supported tip, visible asymmetry, or a nose that no longer complements the rest of their features. Others may develop new or persistent breathing difficulties after surgery. Revision rhinoplasty is performed to improve concerns caused by a previous nasal procedure while restoring a more natural balance between appearance and function. In some cases, only a limited refinement is needed. More complex concerns may require rebuilding areas of the nose that have been weakened, over-resected, or altered by scar tissue. Because the original nasal cartilage may no longer provide enough support, revision surgery sometimes requires cartilage taken from the patient’s ear or rib. This additional structure can help strengthen the nose, improve airflow, and create smoother, more stable contours. [.divider-lines]At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, Dr. Siamak Agha approaches revision rhinoplasty with careful attention to nasal anatomy, facial proportions, and the changes created by the previous surgery.[] Continue reading to learn when revision rhinoplasty may be appropriate, how the procedure is performed, and what to expect from treatment and recovery. #### Are You a Good Candidate for Revision Rhinoplasty? If you are unsatisfied with your nose’s appearance after a previous rhinoplasty, a revision procedure may provide you with a second chance to achieve your desired results. You are considered a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty if you have a positive outlook and realistic expectations about your surgery. The most common problems encountered during revision rhinoplasty include: - **Scooped nasal bridge** from aggressive resection - **Pinched or collapsed nostrils** often causing nasal obstruction - **Straightening** a crooked nose - Nasal tip that is too short or upturned, causing a **piggy appearance** - A nose that is **too wide or too narrow** - Hanging columella from **insufficient tip work** - Persistent **bulbous tip** --- ## Rhinoplasty **Link:** [Rhinoplasty](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/rhinoplasty-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/rhinoplasty-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** We have years of experience performing rhinoplasty in Newport Beach, Orange County! Schedule your appointment today and enhance your look! NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Find Your Signature Look *Newport Beach Rhinoplasty at The One Plastic Surgery Center* Beauty standards may come and go, but one thing never changes: your nose is your face's defining feature— literally and figuratively. Positioned at the very center of your face, it influences how every other feature is perceived. Even a subtle imbalance in size, shape, or proportion can draw attention away from your eyes, your cheekbones, and everything else that makes your face distinctly yours. Many patients assume there is one universal ideal — a small, straight, symmetrical nose. But a truly beautiful nose is one that fits your face. [.divider-lines]What looks harmonious on one person can look completely wrong on another. That is what makes rhinoplasty — nose reshaping surgery — one of the most individualized and technically demanding procedures in all of cosmetic surgery.[] At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, rhinoplasty is approached with a deep respect for each patient's unique anatomy, ethnic identity, and personal goals. Every nose job is planned around your face — not a template. The result should look like it was always yours, only better. #### Why Choose Dr. Agha for Your Rhinoplasty? The nose is not just any facial feature — it is the most defining one. It sits at the exact center of the face, and a result that is even slightly off is immediately apparent, even to people who cannot articulate why. Rhinoplasty demands more than technical skill. It demands an eye for proportion, a genuine understanding of facial harmony across different ethnicities, and the surgical discipline to know when less is more. Dr. Agha's academic foundation — an MD and PhD from the University of Cambridge, earned on a prestigious Wellcome Trust scholarship — instilled a level of scientific precision that shapes how he thinks about anatomy and surgical planning. His seven-year residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center gave him the technical depth that rhinoplasty — a procedure with virtually no margin for error — demands. What sets Dr. Agha apart in rhinoplasty specifically is his sensitivity to individuality. He does not approach the nose with a template in mind. He works from a thorough understanding of your face — your proportions, your ethnicity, your skin quality, and what will look balanced and natural for you specifically. For patients seeking ethnic rhinoplasty — whether Middle Eastern, Asian, Hispanic, or African-American — this sensitivity is not optional. It is what separates a result that honors your identity from one that erases it. Rhinoplasty is also a procedure where revision is unfortunately common — because it is difficult, and because not every surgeon gets it right. Dr. Agha specializes in revision rhinoplasty, which is among the most technically demanding work in all of plastic surgery, requiring the ability to navigate prior scarring, compromised cartilage, and structurally altered anatomy to rebuild something that looks and functions well. His experience in correction and reconstruction gives patients a real option when they have been told there is nothing more that can be done. Dr. Agha is a board-certified plastic surgeon (Diplomat, American Board of Plastic Surgery), a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), and an active member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. He has served as faculty at more than five of the Society's annual meetings — not as an attendee, but as a teacher of advanced surgical techniques to fellow surgeons. Schedule a rhinoplasty consultation at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach to find out what is possible for your nose. #### Breathe Easy. Feel Inspired. *What is Rhinoplasty?* Rhinoplasty — commonly referred to as a nose job or nose reshaping surgery — is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to improve its size, structure, and proportions relative to the rest of the face, enhancing overall facial harmony. It is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgeries in the United States and consistently ranks as the most popular procedure among adults between the ages of 20 and 39. With rhinoplasty, you can: - Modify the overall size and shape of your nose - Remove a dorsal hump or bump from the nasal bridge - Straighten a crooked or deviated nasal bridge - Refine or reduce an enlarged, drooping, or bulbous nasal tip - Correct wide, flared, or asymmetrical nostrils - Improve the angle between the nose and the upper lip or forehead - Restore balance, symmetry, and proportion to the face Rhinoplasty is also one of the few cosmetic procedures that can serve a medical purpose. A deviated septum — where the wall of cartilage dividing the two nasal passages is off-center — is one of the most common causes of chronic nasal obstruction and breathing difficulty. Functional rhinoplasty, also called septoplasty, corrects this internal structural problem to restore proper airflow and is frequently combined with cosmetic nose reshaping in a single procedure. In qualifying cases, functional rhinoplasty may be partially covered by insurance. #### What is Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty? Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is one of the most significant advances in nasal surgery in recent years. Rather than using traditional instruments — rasps, chisels, and hammers — to cut and reshape nasal bones, this technique uses a piezoelectric device that delivers precise, high-frequency ultrasonic energy to sculpt bone and hard cartilage with exceptional accuracy. Critically, the surrounding skin and soft tissue are left completely undisturbed. Conventional rhinoplasty bone work carries a real risk of uncontrolled fractures, irregular contours, and excessive trauma to surrounding tissue. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty eliminates most of these risks, giving the surgeon far greater control, precision, and predictability — and giving patients a noticeably smoother, faster recovery. [.highlight-color]**Advantages of ultrasonic rhinoplasty:**[] - Greater surgical precision than traditional rhinoplasty bone-work techniques - No uncontrolled bone fractures — sculpting is smooth and controlled - Nasal bone reshaping performed under direct vision - Significantly less post-operative bruising and swelling - Faster, more comfortable recovery than traditional rhinoplasty - Reduced risk of excessive scar tissue formation [.highlight-color]**Common nasal concerns treated with ultrasonic rhinoplasty:**[] - Crooked or deviated nasal bridge correction - Dorsal hump (nasal bump) reduction - Wide nasal bones requiring precise, controlled narrowing - Nasal asymmetry correction without breaking bones #### Enduring Benefits *What are the Major Rhinoplasty Approaches?* All rhinoplasty procedures use one of two fundamental surgical approaches — open or closed rhinoplasty. The right choice depends on the complexity of the changes needed and the individual anatomy of each patient. [.highlight-color]Open Rhinoplasty[] In an open rhinoplasty, your surgeon creates a small incision across the strip of skin between your nostrils, known as the columella. Next, he makes additional incisions within the nose on the inner aspect of the nostrils. Through the incisions, he carefully elevates the nasal skin off of the nasal tip and structures. The open rhinoplasty technique provides a complete visualization of the underlying nasal structures and allows for precise surgical changes. The scar is nearly invisible once wholly healed. [.highlight-color]Closed Rhinoplasty[] With the closed rhinoplasty technique, the incision is made entirely within the nostrils. It’s also called the internal or endonasal approach. Because the incisions are made inside the nostrils, there are no visible external scars. However, closed rhinoplasty gives Dr. Razfar less access to the structures of your nose, so this method may not work for all people who need nose reshaping. #### In Harmony With You *What are the Different Types of Rhinoplasty?* Beyond the open and closed approaches, rhinoplasty encompasses several distinct procedure types — each designed around the patient's specific anatomy, cultural background, and aesthetic goals. #### Care You Can Trust *Your Rhinoplasty Consultation* Rhinoplasty is widely considered the most technically demanding cosmetic procedure performed today. The nose occupies the center of the face, involves both aesthetic form and physiological function, and leaves virtually no margin for error. Choosing the right rhinoplasty surgeon is the most important decision you will make. At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, every rhinoplasty consultation begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your facial proportions, nasal anatomy, skin type and thickness, ethnic background, and personal goals. Dr. Agha listens carefully to what you want to achieve — and gives you an honest, realistic assessment of what is achievable for your specific anatomy. The One Plastic Surgery Center offers the full spectrum of nose reshaping procedures, including primary rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty, functional rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and reconstructive rhinoplasty. Serving patients throughout Newport Beach, Orange County, Los Angeles, and beyond, The One Plastic Surgery Center combines the most advanced rhinoplasty techniques with a deeply individualized approach — because no two noses, and no two patients, are ever the same. #### How Does Dr. Agha Do Rhinoplasty? *Your Rhinoplasty Procedure* Rhinoplasty is a highly individualized procedure, which is why Dr. Agha takes special consideration of your expectations and goals during the initial consultation. He will also ask you about your detailed medical history and perform a physical exam to determine your fitness for surgery. After listening to how you want your nose and face to look, he will develop a customized surgical plan to produce your desired results. Your rhinoplasty can be performed in a hospital, a free-standing ambulatory facility, or an office-based surgical suite. #### How Do You Recover from Rhinoplasty? *Rhinoplasty Recovery and Aftercare* Rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure in the vast majority of cases — meaning you return home the same day. An overnight stay is occasionally recommended. Recovery is gradual: visible bruising and swelling improve significantly within the first two weeks, while the nose continues to refine and settle for up to a full year after surgery. - Wear your nasal splint as instructed for the first week to protect and support the new nasal shape during initial healing. - Apply cold compresses around the nose — not directly on it — to reduce swelling and discomfort in the first several days. - Keep your head elevated, sleeping with extra pillows, for the first few days to minimize swelling. - Nasal stuffiness and congestion during rhinoplasty recovery is completely normal as the internal tissues heal. Breathe through your mouth and be patient. - Take prescribed pain medication as directed. Most rhinoplasty patients find post-operative discomfort very manageable. - Avoid all strenuous activity, heavy lifting, bending, and exercise until cleared by Dr. Agha. If nasal bones were reshaped during your rhinoplasty, you will need to avoid wearing glasses directly on the nose for several weeks. Your surgical team will advise you on how to manage this during healing. Direct sun exposure to the nose should also be limited for the first few months. Any columella scarring will continue to flatten and fade in the months following surgery. #### Your Future Looks Beautiful *What Results Can You Expect from Rhinoplasty?* When rhinoplasty is performed well, the result looks completely natural — as though you simply grew into a better version of your nose. People around you may sense that something is different, but won't be able to say exactly what. That is the standard every nose job at The One Plastic Surgery Center is held to. After your rhinoplasty, you can expect: - A nose that is better proportioned to your overall facial features - A smoother, more refined nasal profile free of humps or depressions - Improved symmetry and facial balance - A natural-looking, well-defined nasal tip - Improved nasal breathing and airflow (when functional concerns were addressed) - A lasting boost in self-confidence Rhinoplasty results are permanent. While the nose continues to age naturally alongside the rest of the face, the structural reshaping achieved through surgery remains. Full healing takes up to one year — with residual swelling, particularly at the nasal tip, resolving gradually over that time. The final rhinoplasty result is well worth the patience it requires. #### Rhinoplasty *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Rhinoplasty vs. Ethnic Rhinoplasty: Understanding the Difference **Link:** [Rhinoplasty vs. Ethnic Rhinoplasty: Understanding the Difference](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/rhinoplasty-vs-ethnic-rhinoplasty/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/rhinoplasty-vs-ethnic-rhinoplasty/index.html.md)) **Description:** Rhinoplasty vs. ethnic rhinoplasty: understanding how goals, technique, and nasal anatomy considerations differ between the two approaches. ### Content --- ## SCARLESS BREAST AUGMENTATION **Link:** [SCARLESS BREAST AUGMENTATION](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/scarless-breast-augmentation-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/scarless-breast-augmentation-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Did you know breast augmentation doesn't always require noticeable scarring? Scarless breast augmentation techniques provide patients with a new option. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Despite the popularity of breast enhancement surgeries, one of the most common concerns of women looking to get their breasts enlarged is the possible visible scarring. Not only is it a huge turn-off, but it can also taint their beautiful results after surgery. Fortunately, breast augmentation advancements have allowed for the development of scarless or transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA), a technique that lets you enjoy a scar-free breast enhancement. Continue reading this article to discover a discreet way to increase your breast volume without visible scars around the breasts. [View Gallery](/gallery/breast/breast-augmentation-before-and-after-photos/) #### What is Breast Augmentation? Traditionally, breast augmentation is done by inserting breast implants through incisions surrounding the breasts – around the nipple-areola complex, in the breast crease, or the armpit. But with transumbilical breast augmentation, you can have your breast implants inserted via endoscopic technology through your belly button.Also known as endoscopic breast augmentation, TUBA uses an endoscope – a tube with a light and camera attached to it – so that your surgeon can view the inner breasts from the umbilicus without the need for a breast incision. Hence, it doesn’t produce visible scars around or near the breasts. Instead, it allows both breast implants (saline only) to be inserted using a single incision within the umbilicus. Even though it’s not entirely scarless, you can still wear the skimpiest of bikinis, and no one could tell that you had your breasts enlarged! Since 2007, Dr. Agha has performed hundreds of transumbilical breast augmentations both in a subglandular and a submuscular plane. After all, he trained under Dr. Gerald Johnson himself, who pioneered transumbilical breast augmentation in October 1991. However, take note that this procedure can only be performed using saline breast implants. #### What are the Advantages of TUBA? If you’re thinking of getting [breast augmentation](/breast-augmentation-newport-beach/) with saline implants, you may want to consider TUBA because of the following benefits: #### How Does Dr. Agha Perform TUBA? During your consultation, Dr. Agha will determine if you’re a good candidate for transumbilical breast augmentation. Typically, anyone who is unhappy with their small or disproportionate breasts can get TUBA. However, it isn’t advisable for those with an abdominal hernia or have undergone extensive abdominal operations. Once Dr. Agha clears you for TUBA, here’s how he will perform the procedure: #### Learn More About Breast Augmentation at Orange County and Los Angeles As a form of breast enhancement surgery, transumbilical breast augmentation has the same risks, recovery details, and results as traditional breast augmentation.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content [Breast augmentation](/breast-augmentation-newport-beach/) is often assumed to be simple in nature and execution, but it actually requires a great deal of attention. Appreciation of subtle breast asymmetries, proper surgical planning and execution, and attention to detail are essential for achieving superior results. Unfortunately, these details are often overlooked. Thus, breast augmentation does not always produce the desired results. This may be due topoor implant selection, incorrect surgical planning, and inferior surgical techniques. **Corrective breast surgery** — also known as **secondary breast augmentation** — refers to a wide range of procedures that Dr. Siamak Agha performs to fix breasts affected by either a previous surgery or breast augmentation complications. Many of these previous breast augmentation patients are unhappy with their results and wish to improve their breasts. It is important to realize that breast augmentation revision is more complicated than initial augmentation, and the proper time for the correct operation to be performed is the first time. [.divider-lines]However, Dr. Agha has developed considerable experience with the correction of breast augmentation problems and will make every attempt to improve your results.[] [View Gallery](/gallery/breast/breast-augmentation-revision-before-and-after-photos/) #### What Problems Does Secondary Breast Augmentation Solve? When a problem arises in your breasts’ appearance, the most crucial first step is diagnosing its cause. Sometimes, it is due to an excessively large implant that stretched and thinned out your breast skin and tissue, resulting in implant show and rippling. Other times, the problem may be due to an implant that shifted into an unsightly position. Excess scarring, breast drooping, asymmetry, or any combination of these problems can also contribute to a suboptimal breast appearance. Secondary breast augmentation is necessary for solving a myriad of problems or issues that Dr. Agha has broadly categorized as follows: - Problems with final breast size - Problems that are created surgically or arise due to poor post-op care - Problems with neglecting a patient’s tissue characteristics - Problems that come with using breast implants #### Explore these problems one by one below #### Problems Caused by Surgery or Poor Post-Op Care *These are typically related to problems with implant pockets.* #### Problems Due to Breast Implants #### How Does Dr. Agha Perform Corrective Breast Surgery? Although corrective breast surgery is a complex and challenging endeavor, it is one that Dr. Agha enjoys helping with. Improvements are usually very dramatic and life-changing for the patients. Additionally, these surgeries fully utilize the array of skills that Dr. Agha has developed since each patient requires a unique combination of techniques to maximize their aesthetic outcome. These techniques include, but are not limited to: - switching the implants from over the chest muscle to under the chest muscle - tailoring and reconfiguring the breast pocket to better fit and support the implant - changing the implant size and composition (exchanging saline implants to cohesive silicone gel implants) - adjusting areolar size and position - revising scars - lifting the breasts Each breast will often require a different set of approaches to achieve final symmetry. Depending on your problem, here are the techniques that Dr. Agha uses for secondary breast augmentation: #### Undesired Implant Size Large-scale studies have shown that up to 15% to 20% of women wish that their breasts were larger after a primary breast augmentation. In fact, dissatisfaction with the implant size — either too small or too large — is the most common reason women have a second breast augmentation. Most elect to change their implant for a larger size. This is why Dr. Agha spends a considerable amount of time with you discussing size, trying implant sizers, and selecting an appropriate implant size for you. It is very rare in our practice that patients come back to change their implants for a larger size or regret their chosen size. #### Oversized Implants Breast implants can be too large for the patient’s size and weight. This can result in stretching out the breast tissue and skin. Over time, the breast tissue thins out, and the breast droops and sags over the upper abdomen. This patient presented to Dr. Agha for corrective breast augmentation. Her primary breast augmentation was performed by a non-plastic surgeon four years ago. After the second year of her breast augmentation, she returned to her surgeon for implant drooping. According to the patient, the surgeon placed additional saline in her implants during an office procedure. When presenting to Dr. Agha four years after her primary procedure, the patient had 450 cc saline implants in a subglandular plane, despite weighing only 90 Ibs. Her large saline implants in a subglandular plane had resulted in significant thinning of her breast tissue, skin damage, and stretching of her nipple-areola complex. The patient underwent a corrective breast augmentation procedure that involved removing her implants, reconstructing her lower inframammary fold, placing silicone implants (275 ccs chosen by the patient) in a submuscular plane, and periareolar mastopexy to remove stretched out skin. #### Overlooked Breast Sagging This happens when the plastic surgeon attempts to correct breast drooping through breast augmentation. If a patient has sagging breasts, the best procedure is a breast lift. It can be done before or with a breast augmentation to correct the breast shape. Some surgeons may use a large implant or place the implant lower than ideal to avoid a breast lift. Neither of these approaches is effective in creating a nicely shaped breast. Placing an implant low distorts the inframammary fold, and sooner or later, the patient will need implant pocket correction and a breast lift. This patient had a breast augmentation by a non-plastic surgeon after her pregnancy using implants in a subglandular plane. The correct procedure would have been to combine a breast augmentation with a breast lift. #### Overlooked Breast Asymmetry Most breasts differ from one another, sometimes considerably. They may vary in size, shape, form, or position and are rarely perfectly corrected during surgery. However, asymmetries should be diagnosed appropriately preoperatively to ensure that it is corrected as much as possible during surgery. Size asymmetries can be easily corrected with different-sized implants. However, asymmetries in shape may require a breast lift to make the breasts look similar. It can also be fixed best with breast fat transfer or a combination of breast fat and implant placement. This patient presented to Dr. Agha for breast augmentation. The patient had subtle breast asymmetry, with the right breast being smaller and than the left. This was appropriately corrected with the use of different-sized implants. #### High-Riding Implants High-riding implants are the ones that remain too high postoperatively and do not “drop” or “settle” into the correct position. Correcting a high-riding implant requires revision surgery to lower the implant and center it under the nipple-areola complex. This is a patient who had asymmetrical implants, with the right one being higher than the left. Dr. Agha performed a revision procedure that lowered the right implant, releasing the lower aspect of the implant pocket and the inframammary fold. #### Implant Bottoming Out This occurs when implants are positioned too low, and the inframammary fold is released or damaged too much. The implants appear too low and unattractive, preventing you from being comfortable when braless. Over time, the implants shift into an unsightly position due to weakness of the inframammary fold. The implants move down onto the upper abdominal region, resulting in distortion of the breast shape and nipple-areola complexes that point up. This complication occurs more often with subglandular implant placement, huge implants, and inaccurate implant pocket dissection. Correction of implants that are low or have bottomed out is a complicated endeavor. Sometimes, a pocket change from a subglandular pocket to a submuscular pocket is all that is needed. Other times, if the pectoralis muscle has been released and the inframammary fold is weakened, the latter will have to be reconstructed to create support for the implant and prevent it from migrating low. Inframammary fold reconstruction can be done internally or through an external incision when combined with a breast lift. Dr. Agha has significant experience in this area and has performed over 100 inframammary crease reconstructions, mostly done with a reverse tummy tuck. This combination elevates the breast unit on the chest when the breasts are on the lower third of the chest rather than the middle third. This patient presented to Dr. Agha for corrective breast augmentation. Her primary breast augmentation was performed by a non-plastic surgeon three years prior. Both her breast implants were placed in a subglandular plane and were too low due to overzealous dissection of the inframammary fold. Implant positions are asymmetrical, with the right implant lower than the left. She also had rippling of her right implant. The patient underwent a corrective secondary breast augmentation procedure by Dr. Agha, as well as a tummy tuck. A breast revision surgery involved removing the implants, reconstructing the lower inframammary fold, and placing silicone implants in a submuscular plane. #### Synmastia Synmastia represents implants that touch one another centrally. It is caused by over-dissection of the medial region or inner aspect of the breasts over the breastbone (sternum) or release of the medial attachment of the pectoralis major muscle from the sternum to create cleavage. This surgical maneuver should simply not be done, as it is a difficult problem to correct. Like an implant bottoming out, the implant pocket is over-dissected centrally and has to be repaired. Depending on the presentation of the synmastia, Dr. Agha will perform one of the following procedures: - If the implants are over the muscle, he will create a submuscular pocket and move the implants into this newly dissected pocket. - If the implants are in a submuscular pocket, the pocket has to be modified and reconstructed correctly. He will first remove both implants, then reattach the skin and muscle that have been released over the sternum back to the ribcage, thus reconstructing the pocket’s medial edge. In this manner, the implants can be shifted to a correct position. #### What Corrective Breast Procedures Does Dr. Agha Perform? Depending on your specific problem, a specific solution or a set of techniques may be employed during your breast augmentation revision.

Having a surgeon that understands your medical history is crucial. POST BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content When considering a major surgery such as body lift or other body contouring procedures, finding the right surgeon is the most important step in your quest since that dictates your ultimate results. In searching for the right surgeon, you may want to: - Review you **surgeon’s education**, training, certifications, and credentials. - Review your surgeon’s **board certification**. There are more than 150 self-designated boards providing some form of certification, but it is important to emphasize that only 24 of them are recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). In plastic surgery, the only recognized board in cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery is the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). Ensure your chosen plastic surgeon is board certified by the **American Board of Plastic Surgery** and by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). - See if your plastic surgeon has **specialized training** in Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss and Body Contouring. - Find out if the surgeon has** been published** or presented lectures on the subject of body lift. - Determine your **plastic surgeon experience** by looking at his/her before and after gallery. While most plastic surgeons perform 1-2 arm lifts, thigh lifts, back lifts, and body lifts per year (see enclosed statistics from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons), Dr. Agha performs 30 or more of each one of these procedures per year. - View **before and after galleries** of your surgeon for arm lift, thigh lift, breast lift and body lift. Pictures can say a thousand words. Look at pictures critically. Look to see if you can see ample examples of your surgeon’s work, and if you can see the patient’s pictures from multiple angles. By viewing multiple angles of the same patient, you can look for symmetry of results, flow of incisions, and completeness of the work. See if patient’s scars are shown or hidden in a bikini or underwear! - Make sure you **like the before and after pictures** of patients that you see. Never assume that you will be different or your result will be better. - Ask your surgeon to clarify whether he/she will be performing a **lower body lift or a circumferential abdominoplasty / Belt lipectomy**. Ask them what specific procedures are included in your surgery. Although many surgeons use the terms synonymously, Dr. Agha’s high-definition lower body lift has 5 or more additional procedures than the average circumferential abdominoplasty or belt lipectomy. - Ask if your surgeon will combine **body sculpting via liposuction** with a lower body lift. Agha uses liposuction virtually in all his body contouring and body lift patients to enhance their shape. - Find out exactly **how much experience** your surgeon has by talking to his/her former patients and asking your chosen surgeon **how many body lifts** he or she has ever done. - Ask specifics about the technique of lower body lift you will be having. What specific procedures are included in your body lift? What are possible lower body lift complications to watch for? How long will the lower body lift procedure take? What type of anesthesia will be used? Get a comprehensive list of pre-operative and post-operative instructions so you and your caretakers can be properly prepared for your recovery from the lower body lift procedure. - Ask if your surgeon has a **team that is specialized** in these types of surgeries? By using the same anesthesiologist, physician assistant, surgical tech, and surgical nurse every day, Dr. Agha’s team are all well versed in body contouring and body lift surgeries. This level of experience and preparedness ensures that each surgery is completed smoothly and in an efficient manner every day. - Follow your surgeon on Instagram to see his/her work further. By making sure your plastic surgeon is well qualified in body lift operations, you are raising the odds in favor of a successful body lift surgery. --- ## Signs You May Be Ready for a Facelift Consultation **Link:** [Signs You May Be Ready for a Facelift Consultation](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/signs-you-may-be-ready-for-a-facelift-consultation/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/signs-you-may-be-ready-for-a-facelift-consultation/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn the common signs that may indicate it's time for a facelift consultation and discover modern facial rejuvenation options. ### Content --- ## Sitemap **Link:** [Sitemap](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/sitemap/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/sitemap/index.html.md)) **Description:** HTML sitemap for The Aethetic Centers --- ## What Is Skin Elasticity and Why It Matters After GLP-1 Weight Loss **Link:** [What Is Skin Elasticity and Why It Matters After GLP-1 Weight Loss](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/skin-elasticity-glp1-weight-loss/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/skin-elasticity-glp1-weight-loss/index.html.md)) **Description:** What is skin elasticity and why it matters after weight loss.

Skin laxity is normal. POST BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content Bariatric surgery or massive weight loss results in a variety of changes that most patients find disturbing. For some, a near normal appearance may be the result, but more often, excess skin and tissue hangs allover the body. As we gain weight, the skin is all too accommodating in growing and stretching in order to sustain the body’s larger size. With cycles of weight gain and loss, expansion of the soft tissues of the body can adversely affect the skin’s dermal elasticity as well as the underlying connective tissue stability. It is this connective tissue mesh that is responsible for holding the skin tightly against the underlying structures. This results in stretch marks and the skin’s inability to contract with weight loss. After the weight loss, many patients experience significant changes in the form, shape, and contour of their bodies, namely their arms, upper chest, breasts, back, buttocks, abdomen, thighs, and calves. These changes are vertical excesses and/or horizontal excesses (circumferential). Many of these changes follow a predictable course. The arms show mild, moderate, or severe overall laxity that is best appreciated over the under surface of the arm. This extends from the elbow to the upper back through a hanging and hollowed armpit. The breasts undergo deflation and flattening as well as marked sagging. The inframammary crease under each breast is pulled down by the weight of the hanging abdominal tissue. This pull deforms the shape and form of the inframammary crease resulting in a semi-linear inframammary crease rather than a semi-circular crease. Loosening of the inframammary crease also result in shifting of the whole breast unit on the chest region. The breasts are typically lower on the chest by about 1 inch or so. Horizontal upper chest laxity results in excess tissue bulge under the armpit which gathers over a bra and under the arms. Vertical chest tissue and upper back tissue laxity result in hanging folds of skin that spans from the breast area towards the back, hanging over the outer chest. Abdominal laxity presents as a hanging pannus that often extends over the pubic area. The abdominal laxity and excess spans the whole abdomen, meaning that there is excess upper and lower abdominal skin and tissue as well as excess waist skin and tissue. Many patients lack waist concavity. The groin region (mons) is lax and sagging, and in some patients still full. The lower back tissue forms a roll that extends from the abdominal pannus over the waist regions and obscures the upper buttocks. This roll, referred to as the hip roll, often represents excess skin and fat and is often the source of our fat pads (known as flaps) for buttock augmentation with your own tissue. The buttocks are deflated, loose, and sagging. The thigh tissues become loose and sag vertically in 100% of patients at the front, back, inner, and outer surfaces. Folds of loose thigh tissue can develop on both the inner and/or outer surfaces. In addition, 40 % of patients also develop thigh laxity in a horizontal dimension which results in widening of the thighs. That means the thighs not only appear loose in a vertical dimension but also are wider than desired. When it comes to the legs, many patients are fine, few have excess fat and rarely some patients have excess fat and skin of their calf region. The weight loss patients probably embody the concept of individuality more than any other group of surgical patients. Dr. Agha’s aim is a customized correction of the loss of shape and form. Thus, a thorough understanding of patient’s individual deformities and their desires is a must. With immense understanding of the anatomical changes and innumerable experience in plastic surgery after weight loss, Dr. Agha attends to each patient’s needs by developing a custom plan for each individual. In planning a customized approach, Dr. Agha examines each region of your body for: - Skin / tissue excess and laxity vertically - Skin / tissue excess and laxity horizontally (circumferentiallY) - Amount of excess fat under the skin - Loss of curves and shape due to the excess fat and skin #### What Determines The Amount of Loose Skin The nature and degree of the changes are determined by multiple factors such as: - **Patient’s gender:** Typically female patients have better skin quality than men due to female hormones. - **Age:** Younger patients have more collagen and connective tissues within their skin. Thus their skin is able to contract better than older patients - **Pre-bariatric weight:** The higher the weight, the more damage is done to the skin dermis and connective tissue layer. - **Actual weight loss:** Obviously with more weight loss, there is more skin deflation and more skin that needs to contract. - **Genetic predisposition of the patient:** Typically the darker color skin has more dermis within their skin and have better skin contraction after weight loss surgery. - **Cycles of weight gain and loss:** Those patients who have gained and lost weight many times, have a higher percentage of damage to their skin dermis and collagen layers. --- ## Skin Tightening After Weight Loss: Surgical and Non-Surgical Options **Link:** [Skin Tightening After Weight Loss: Surgical and Non-Surgical Options](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/skin-tightening-after-weight-loss-surgical-and-non-surgical-options/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/skin-tightening-after-weight-loss-surgical-and-non-surgical-options/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn the best surgical and non-surgical skin tightening options after weight loss with Dr. Siamak Agha at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach. ### Content --- ## Skin Treatments **Link:** [Skin Treatments](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/skin-treatments/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/skin-treatments/index.html.md)) **Description:** Skin Treatments ### Content --- ## SMAS Facelift **Link:** [SMAS Facelift](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/smas-facelift/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/smas-facelift/index.html.md)) **Description:** Achieve natural, long-lasting results with our SMAS facelift procedure—expert care in Newport Beach, CA. Book your consultation today! NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### The Gold Standard in Facial Rejuvenation *Newport Beach SMAS Facelift at The One Plastic Surgery Center* Non-surgical treatments have come a long way. Threads, lasers, energy devices, and injectables can all address early or mild signs of facial aging with minimal downtime. But there is a ceiling to what any non-surgical treatment can achieve. When the structural changes of aging are real and significant, surgery remains the only solution that addresses them at the source. The most effective facelift techniques all work by addressing the same underlying layer: the SMAS, or superficial musculoaponeurotic system. This is the connective tissue and muscle layer that lies beneath the facial skin. With age, the SMAS weakens and descends, dragging the overlying skin with it and producing the jowling, sagging, and deep creasing that defines an aging face. At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, Dr. Agha is an expert in the full range of SMAS facelift techniques and selects the right approach for each patient's anatomy and goals. #### WHY CHOOSE DR. AGHA FOR YOUR SMAS FACELIFT? The SMAS facelift is one of the most commonly performed facelift techniques in the world, but the quality of results varies enormously depending on who performs it. The difference between a facelift that looks natural and one that looks operated on comes down to surgical judgment, technique, and an understanding of how the face ages in three dimensions, not just two. Dr. Agha completed his MD and PhD at the University of Cambridge on a Wellcome Trust scholarship and his seven-year plastic surgery residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, one of the most respected programs in the country. He trained directly under Dr. Bryan Mendelson, a globally recognized authority on facial anatomy and facelift surgery, giving him a foundational understanding of the SMAS and deeper facial structures that few surgeons acquire through standard training alone. Dr. Agha performs the full range of SMAS techniques, selecting the most appropriate approach based on each patient's unique anatomy and goals. His three-dimensional philosophy means he approaches every facelift not as a tightening exercise but as a structural restoration, rebuilding the definition and natural contour of a younger face. The result is a patient who looks genuinely refreshed, not surgically altered. #### Turn Back Time with the SMAS Facelift *What is an SMAS Facelift?* Are you bothered by a softening jawline, jowling, or sagging skin that makes you look older than you feel? The SMAS facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, may be exactly what you are looking for. This surgical procedure targets the lower two-thirds of the face and neck, directly addressing the structural causes of facial aging rather than just tightening the surface. It effectively treats: - Jowling and loss of jawline definition - Double chin and excess submental fat - Sagging facial skin and tissue descent - Deep nasolabial folds and facial creases By tightening the SMAS layer and repositioning the deeper tissues of the face, the SMAS facelift restores the natural contours of youth, leaving patients looking genuinely refreshed rather than merely tighter. It is one of the most widely performed and well-established facelift techniques available, with a strong track record of long-lasting, natural-looking results. #### Not All Facelifts Are Created Equal *Understanding the Main Types of SMAS Facelift Procedures* The SMAS layer can be manipulated in several different ways, each with its own advantages depending on the patient's anatomy, degree of aging, and treatment goals. Broadly speaking, SMAS facelift techniques fall into three main categories. All are highly adaptable to individual needs, and Dr. Agha selects the most appropriate approach during your personal consultation. SMAS techniques are particularly well-suited for patients experiencing significant volume loss and sagging in the lower face and neck. Where improvement in the upper cheek area is also needed, fat grafting can be incorporated into the same procedure to address this limitation. #### What Are The Key Differences Between SMAS Facelift and Deep Plane Facelift Techniques? Patients researching facelift options often encounter both the SMAS facelift and the deep plane facelift and wonder how they differ. The distinction comes down to how the skin and SMAS are treated relative to each other. In an SMAS facelift, the facial skin and the SMAS layer are addressed as separate components. In a deep plane facelift, the skin and SMAS are elevated together as a single composite unit, at a deeper tissue level beneath the facial muscles. Proponents of the deep plane technique argue that it offers superior correction of the upper cheek and smile lines, better skin circulation during healing, and a potentially faster recovery due to less extensive skin undermining. However, the SMAS facelift remains one of the most widely performed and effective facelift techniques in the world, with excellent long-term outcomes for the right patient. Dr. Agha performs both and will guide you toward the approach that best suits your anatomy and goals. #### Erase the Facial Signs of Aging *What are the benefits of an SMAS Facelift?* The SMAS facelift offers a compelling combination of meaningful results, established safety, and relatively manageable recovery. Because it targets the deeper structural layer of the face rather than just the skin, outcomes are more natural and longer-lasting than surface-level tightening alone. Many patients report looking and feeling 10 to 15 years younger after surgery, with results that hold for a decade or more. The SMAS facelift also works seamlessly alongside complementary procedures. Brow lifts, eyelid surgery, fat grafting, CO2 laser resurfacing, and Botox can all be combined in the same surgical session for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This makes it an ideal anchor procedure for patients looking to address multiple areas of facial aging in a single recovery. #### Your SMAS Facelift Procedure *How Is a SMAS Facelift Performed?* SMAS facelift surgery is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation, depending on the extent of the procedure and patient preference. Incisions are placed within the natural creases in front of and behind the ear, often extending slightly into the hairline, where they heal with minimal visibility. The facial skin is carefully elevated to expose the SMAS layer, which is then tightened, repositioned, or partially excised depending on the technique selected. Because the lift is supported by the stronger SMAS layer rather than the skin alone, results are more durable and look more natural than skin-only tightening. Excess skin is then trimmed and the incisions are closed with sutures. Where appropriate, the malar fat pad, the superficial fat compartment of the midface, can be repositioned upward during the same procedure using the extended SMAS technique. This restores lost cheek volume and enhances the malar prominence, contributing to a fuller and more youthful midface. A neck lift is commonly performed alongside the SMAS facelift for comprehensive lower face and neck rejuvenation. Additional optional enhancements include eyelid surgery, fat grafting, deep wrinkle fillers, brow lift, and Botox, which can all be combined in a single procedure. #### Empower Your Beauty *Your SMAS Facelift Consultation* Your SMAS facelift begins with a thorough personal consultation with Dr. Agha at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach. During this appointment, Dr. Agha evaluates your facial anatomy, skin quality, degree of tissue descent, and personal goals to determine which SMAS technique will deliver the best outcome for you. He will walk you through your options clearly and honestly, so you leave your consultation with a complete understanding of what to expect. Schedule your consultation today to take the first step toward a more youthful, refreshed appearance. #### Reveal Your Best Self *SMAS Facelift Recovery and Aftercare* Most SMAS facelift patients can expect a recovery period of approximately two to three weeks. In the first days after surgery, bruising and swelling are normal and expected, and these resolve gradually over the following two weeks. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and resuming light daily activities by the two to three week mark. Strenuous exercise and vigorous activity should be avoided until the surgical wounds are fully healed. To support optimal healing and maintain long-term results, patients are advised to avoid smoking, limit sun exposure, keep incision sites clean and moisturized, and attend all follow-up appointments. A consistent skincare routine with daily broad-spectrum sun protection is one of the most effective ways to preserve your facelift results over time. #### Age-Defying Elegance *SMAS Facelift Results* The SMAS facelift produces long-lasting, natural-looking results by lifting and tightening the deeper structural tissues of the face, smoothing wrinkles, eliminating jowling, and restoring facial contour. Initial improvement is visible within the first days after surgery as swelling begins to resolve, with final results fully apparent at around six months. Results typically last ten years or more, and patients consistently report that the improvement to their confidence and overall well-being is just as meaningful as the physical change. The key to maintaining your results long-term is diligent sun protection, a stable weight, and a consistent skincare routine. --- ## Specials **Link:** [Specials](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/specials/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/specials/index.html.md)) **Description:** Specials ### Content --- ## Spiral Thigh Lift **Link:** [Spiral Thigh Lift](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/spiral-thigh-lift-post-bariatric/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/spiral-thigh-lift-post-bariatric/index.html.md)) **Description:** Transform your legs! Spiral thigh lift in Newport Beach at The One Plastic Surgery Center. Reduce laxity & achieve sculpted contours. Call today! AFTER WEIGHT LOSS ### Content #### 360 Degrees of Gorgeous *What is Spiral Thigh Lift?* Diet and exercise are great, but sometimes, they can't target wrinkles and sagging butt and thighs that creep upon us gradually as we age. If you're looking for a way to take years off your thighs and buttocks and achieve a more sculpted look, a Spiral thigh lift might be the solution. Pioneered by Drs. Agha and Hurwitz in 2005, the Spiral Thigh Lift is an innovative procedure that addresses laxity of all the thigh surfaces, namely, front, inner, outer, and back in one surgery. It also lifts the buttocks to correct for signs of aging and cellulite in these areas. The procedure was later authored in plastic surgery textbooks and has now undergone many years of refinement by one of its creators, Dr. Agha. The Spiral thigh lift tightens loose skin, removes excess fat, and lifts sagging areas for a smoother, more defined appearance. By lifting the inner thigh, the anterior (front) thigh, the posterior (back thigh below the buttocks), and the outer thigh and buttocks, this revolutionary procedure offers a 360-degree transformation of your thighs with lifted buttocks. #### Ideal Candidates for a Spiral Thigh Lift If you are struggling with loose skin, wrinkles, cellulitis and even folds of skin on your thighs and butt, a spiral thigh lift can be an excellent option to tighten and smooth these areas. To achieve optimal results, a Spiral thigh lift is best suited for patients who are at a stable weight and in good physical health. Significant weight fluctuations can compromise the procedure's outcome. You should be close to your ideal weight and committed to maintaining it. #### A Personalized Approach *Your Spiral Thigh Lift Consultation* The Spiral thigh lift is a customizable procedure tailored to your unique needs. This means the extent of the surgery, surgery duration, and other details can vary. Don't worry, though! During your consultation, Dr. Agha will explain everything, answer your questions, and show you in detail how the Spiral thigh lift will address your concerns. #### Streamlined Beauty *Your Spiral Thigh Lift Procedure* Dr. Agha then creates a well-concealed spiral incision that starts over the buttocks and runs over the outer thighs into the natural crease where your groin meets your thigh. This incision then continues discreetly under the fold of your buttocks. Dr. Agha then removes excess skin and fat of the upper butt, outer thigh, anterior thigh, inner thigh, and posterior thigh. He then elevates the thigh circumferentially while anchoring the lifted thigh tissue to underlying muscles and bony surfaces. In this manner, the whole thigh is lifted. The surgery typically involves a combination of liposuction, skin excision, tissue repositioning, and skin tightening. Fat transfer to the buttocks may also be included for buttocks reshaping and augmentation after the buttocks lift. To finalize the procedure, Dr. Agha will use internal stitches to hold the repositioned tissues in place. The incisions will then be carefully closed to promote optimal healing. #### Redefining Proportions *Spiral Thigh Lift Recovery and Aftercare* Please read the [General Instruction Sheet](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-body/) as well. All recovery procedures are focused on minimizing pain and improving your healing. Typically, you will need at least 4-6 weeks to heal from these thigh surgeries. You’ll experience some discomfort and tightness for the first 3-5 days, but these should slowly resolve over time. With the Spiral thigh lift, you will have an incision within your groin crease and under your butt (infra-gluteal crease). Keep your legs slightly bent at the hips and knees during the first week. This will help reduce pain and tightness in your incision. keep the groin crease (+/- infra-gluteal crease) dry at all times with a 4 x 4 gauze. This should be changed 2-3 times a day for 2-3 weeks. With each dressing change, dab your incisions with Dakins solution to clean them. Then cover with gauze dressings. You will have swelling in your thighs and legs for 6-12 weeks. You should start walking as soon as possible to avoid the possibility of forming blood clots. DO NOT open your legs to sit on a toilet bowel or for any other reasons. Try to keep your legs closed as much as possible for 3-4 weeks. Avoid sitting directly on the infra-gluteal incision (under your butt) of the Spiral thigh lift for 3-4 weeks. After every bowel movement, wipe yourself with wet towels. If needed change your dressings and clean your incisions with Dakins solution. Walking is the best exercise for the first 6 weeks. Make sure to avoid exercises that can raise your blood pressure for at least six weeks. You should also avoid all activities that can put excessive force or stress on your incisions and the operative area until you have fully recovered. #### Shapely Legs *Spiral Thigh Lift Results* You'll see visible improvements immediately, but the final results take a few months to take shape as the swelling subsides completely. The skin and fat removed are gone for good, so you can expect long-lasting tighter thighs. However, gravity and aging will still take their toll. Your surgeon can create a personalized anti-aging plan to help you minimize these effects. Weight management is key to maintaining your sculpted thighs and lifted buttocks. A healthy combination of cardio, strength training, and mindful eating will keep you looking and feeling your best. #### The Path to Smooth *What are the benefits of Spiral Thigh Lift?* A Spiral thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery designed to achieve a more sculpted and toned look to your thighs and buttocks.

Schedule an appointment today! NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content For many women, having an hourglass figure is the epitome of femininity. And nothing else can better emphasize your hips than firm and slender thighs. The desire for the perfect thighs has become even more popular because of the thigh gap and the age-old compliment of having “legs for days.” No wonder women dream of having thighs as alluring as Heidi Klum’s firm and muscular legs or Amal Clooney’s shapely thighs. Aesthetically beautiful thighs have always been associated with a healthy and youthful figure. The ideal thighs should be in proportion to your hips, buttocks, legs, and abdomen. Firmness is one of the most important qualities, but there are more factors that go into the perfect thighs. Both the trunk and outer thighs complete an hourglass figure — a concave, small waist going all the way to smooth, convex outer thighs. From the back, the thighs are separated from the buttocks with a well-defined fold. From the front, the smooth thighs should be well-supported by the underlying muscles. Your inner thighs should be firm and flat, without any excess fat or skin. Aging can also do a number on your arms, as it can make you lose subcutaneous fat, leaving your skin shriveled and wrinkled. Constant sun exposure can even further expedite the aging process. [.divider-lines]Thankfully, you can achieve your ideal firm and slender thighs with the help of a highly-qualified and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Siamak Agha, one of SoCal’s top board-certified plastic surgeons.[] Find out how you can get Shakira’s thigh gap or Beyonce’s jaw-dropping stems through thigh enhancement surgery in this article. [View Gallery](/gallery/post-bariatric/vertical-thigh-lift-before-and-after-photos/) #### What is a Thigh Lift? The keys to firm and well-contoured thighs are excellent skin elasticity and the absence of excess fat deposits. Without these two, you might be left with unsightly lumps of dimpled flesh and sagging skin on your thighs. This is where thigh enhancement surgeries come in — procedures that help you achieve a tighter, firmer, and more toned thigh appearance. You can choose from the following surgeries, depending on the existence of excess skin and fat deposits. - **Thigh Liposuction** – If you have good skin elasticity on your thighs and your only problem is the presence of excess fat deposits, then thigh liposuction might just be what you need. It can be performed when there is too much fat on your saddlebags, inner thighs, thigh front, thigh backs, and banana rolls. - **Thighplasty** – Recommended for people wanting to get rid of excess skin on their thighs, thighplasty is essentially a thigh remolding procedure. You can either get: - A **thigh lift**, which lifts your thigh to make it look firmer. It is used for vertical excess skin which gives the appearance of the whole thigh sagging. - A **thigh reduction**, which reduces the circumference and width of the thigh. It is used for horizontal excess skin which you can identify with skin rolls on your inner thigh. If you have excess fat and good skin elasticity, thigh liposuction might be enough. On the other hand, thighplasty gives you more slender and proportionate legs by getting rid of excess skin and underlying fat. That’s why it’s very popular among women aged 40 to 54, comprising [47% of all thigh enhancement procedures](https://influx-site-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/plasticsurgerycal.com/files/plastic-surgery-statistics-full-report-2019.pdf) in the United States in 2019 according to the [American Society of Plastic Surgeons](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/). If you have too much fat and too much skin, you can combine both thigh liposuction and thighplasty, as in the case for most patients. #### What are the Different Thighplasty Techniques Offered by Dr. Agha? Your thigh has four surfaces: front, outer, inner, and back. Each surface has a corresponding thighplasty technique, and there are also thigh lifts that reduce thigh width and circumference. Check out the different thighplasty techniques Dr. Agha uses. #### How Does Dr. Agha Do Thighplasty? Thigh enhancement is generally considered an outpatient procedure. More often than not, Dr. Agha combines thigh liposuction with a thighplasty to reduce the appearance of larger thighs. It is also best paired with other body contouring procedures, like [lower body lift](/lower-body-lift-newport-beach/), [tummy tuck](/tummy-tuck-newport-beach/), and [buttock enhancement](/buttock-enhancement-newport-beach/), for a better overall aesthetic appearance. Though a thigh lift only takes 2-3 hours to finish, combining it with a lower body lift may take 7-8 hours. Check out how Dr. Agha performs the thigh lift in this step-by-step lowdown. If you are considering having any kind of plastic surgery I would highly recommend Dr Agha and his wonderful staff. It was the best decision I have ever made. **Karen K** #### Why Should You Choose Dr. Agha for Your Thighplasty? Thigh lift and thighplasty are specialized body contouring procedures that not all board-certified plastic surgeons perform routinely. In fact, according to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, most plastic surgeons only perform 1-2 thighplasties per year. On the other hand, Dr. Agha performs about 50 or more thighplasties per year, as well as plenty of thigh liposuctions. What he does in one year equates to what many plastic surgeons do in a lifetime. With 18 years of experience in thigh lift surgeries, Dr. Agha has probably performed more thigh lifts than most plastic surgeons in the world. His extensive experience has allowed him to pioneer such techniques as the spiral thigh lift and anterior thigh lift. The spiral thigh lift was published in the Encyclopedia of Body Sculpting After Massive Weight Loss in 2010. Dr. Agha’s aesthetic eye and more than a decade of experience matter not only in performing surgeries correctly and optimally but also in avoiding complications and ensuring healing — all essential components of every successful plastic surgery. #### Do You Need Thighplasty Revision? It is important that you get your thigh lift or thigh reduction done correctly the first time. However, a large number of patients that contact us have previously had procedures that were not optimally done and can be improved upon. This is especially the case for thigh enhancement surgeries, where most plastic surgeons do not have much experience, hence planning a conservative treatment. Thus, every year, Dr. Agha is asked to perform around 10 or more thigh lift revisions due to various reasons such as: - Remaining excess skin - Labial spreading of the inner thigh lift - Asymmetry of results Usually, Dr. Agha excises the existing thigh scar and works through that incision to optimize the surgical result. #### Recovery After Inner, Medial Thigh Lift and Spiral Thigh Lift Surgeries **Please read **[**the General Instruction Sheet**](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-body/)** as well. ** All recovery procedures are focused on minimizing pain and improving your healing. Typically, you will need at least 4-6 weeks to heal from these thigh surgeries. You’ll experience some discomfort and tightness for the first 3-5 days, but these should slowly resolve over time. With inner medial thigh lift, you will have an incision within your groin crease only. With the Spiral thigh lift, you will have an incision within your groin crease and under your butt (infra-gluteal crease). Keep your legs slightly bent at the hips and knees during the first week. This will help reduce pain and tightness in your incision. Keep the groin crease (+/- infra-gluteal crease) dry at all times with a 4 x 4 gauze. This should be changed 2-3 times a day for 2-3 weeks. With each dressing change, dab your incisions with Dakins solution to clean them. Then cover with gauze dressings. You will have swelling in your thighs and legs for 6-12 weeks. You should start **walking** as soon as possible to avoid the possibility of forming blood clots. **DO NOT** open your legs to sit on a toilet bowel or for any other reasons. Try to keep your legs closed as much as possible for 3-4 weeks. **Avoid **sitting directly on the infra-gluteal incision (under your butt) of the Spiral thigh lift for 3-4 weeks. After every **bowel movement**, wipe yourself with wet towels. If needed change your dressings and clean your incisions with Dakins solution. Walking is the best exercise for the first 6 weeks. Make sure to avoid exercises that can raise your blood pressure for at least six weeks. You should also avoid all activities that can put excessive force or stress on your incisions and the operative area until you have fully recovered. #### Recovery After Vertical Thighplasty **Please read **[**the General Instruction Sheet**](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-body/)** as well. ** All recovery procedures are focused on minimizing pain and improving your healing. Typically, you will need at least 4 weeks to heal from a vertical thighplasty. You’ll experience some discomfort and tightness for the first 5-7 days, but these should slowly resolve over time. With vertical thighplasty, you will have an incision along your inner thigh. Keep your legs slightly bent at the hips and knees during the first week. This will help reduce pain and tightness in your incision. Change your **dressings** daily. With each dressing change, dab your incisions with Dakins solution to clean them. Then cover the incisions with ABD pads and ACE bandage your legs. Start ACE from ankles and apply snuggly as you come up over the ABD pads. **Keep your legs elevated on several pillows (as much as possible). This reduces swelling which in turn reduces pain and tension on your incision lines, resulting in thinner scars.** You will have **swelling** in your thighs and legs for 6-12 weeks. You should start **walking** as soon as possible to avoid the possibility of forming blood clots. After every **bowel movement**, wipe yourself with wet towels.

AFTER WEIGHT LOSS ### Content The thigh is the part of the lower extremity that spans in between the abdomen and the knees. From the front, the thighs are separated from the abdominal region and groin area (mons) by the groin crease that extends over the hips and the back as the V-shaped demarcation in between the upper buttocks and lower back tissue. Furthermore, from the back, the upper thigh is separated from the lower buttock by a well-defined crease known as the infra-gluteal fold. The infra-gluteal fold is the continuation of the groin crease under the buttocks. After massive weight loss, there is a variable degree of thigh tissue distortion that is dependent on the individual’s genetic predisposition, gender, amount of weight lost, current weight, muscle tone and structure, as well as body shape. The latter itself is predetermined by your genetics which essentially dictates how the fat cells are distributed within your body. For those who have an apple-shaped body, the effect of weight loss on the thighs will be less discernible than in those patients who have a pear-shaped body with heavy thighs. Many of our patients who have dropped most of their excess weight present with a characteristic presentation of their thigh laxity. Generally speaking, deflation of the thighs results in tissue laxity in both a vertical and horizontal (circumferential) direction. Virtually, every weight loss patient will have vertical thigh laxity. This is seen as inner thigh roll (s) that extend backwards under the buttocks, outer thigh Many of our patients who have dropped most of their excess weight present with a characteristic presentation of their thigh laxity. Generally speaking, deflation of the thighs results in tissue laxity in both a vertical and horizontal (circumferential) direction. Virtually, every weight loss patient will have vertical thigh laxity. This is seen as inner thigh roll (s) that extend backwards under the buttocks, outer thigh bulge (commonly referred to as saddlebags), numerous dimpling of the thigh fronts, as well as excess tissue around the knees. Some patients will also experience too much skin horizontally (i.e. wider thighs) in addition to the vertical thigh laxity. In these patients, in addition to the changes noted above, the thighs are generally bigger and wider with loose skin on the inner surface of the thighs. The tissue laxity often extends below the inner knees into upper calf areas. As women have less muscular mass and more fatty tissue, the changes are typically more profound than in men. The thigh skin folds and rolls rub together and cause frustration for the patient as they are uncomfortable, cause irritation, and affect intimacy for some patients. According to studies in 100 weight loss patients by Dr. Agha, all weight loss patients experience vertical laxity of their thighs. This can be mild, moderate or severe and affects the outer, inner, front and back of the thighs. In addition to the vertical laxity, about 40 percent of the patients also had horizontal (circumferential) laxity and excess of their thighs; especially noted in the inner aspect of the thighs. Thus, each patient will require a customized plan, depending on the degree of skin laxity, as well as their desires and expectations. Compounding these changes, patients often experience distortion of their lower back and buttock regions. Dr. Siamak Agha believes that it is important to look at these changes in combination with the thighs and treat these areas simultaneously. #### Thigh Surgery After Massive Weight Loss One of the most challenging procedures in Post-bariatric Plastic Surgery is thighplasty or thigh lift surgery. This is because the thigh deformity is variable; the thigh contour is heavily influenced by the adjacent regions such as the abdomen, waist and buttocks; the tissues are heavy and subject to considerable movement; and the location of the thigh incisions next to the groin make them more prone to contamination. Thighplasty refers to a number of thigh surgeries that involve removal of excess thigh skin and fat. The aim of a successful thighplasty procedure should be reduction of the thigh excess and correction of thigh descent. The new contour should follow the aesthetic features of the thigh, the scars should be inconspicuous, and the creases reconstructed meticulously. Dr. Siamak Agha prefers to use the term “thigh lift ” to denote elevation of the thigh in a vertical direction and reserves the term “thighplasty ” for circumferential (horizontal) reduction of the thigh. In our practice we offer a number of thigh lift procedures to correct for vertical thigh or horizontal laxities. These include: **1)** **Medial inner thigh lift** – This procedure corrects the looseness of the upper inner thigh. This is the thigh lift technique that is typically used for non-bariatric patients. The procedure however does not elevate the back or the front of the thigh. **2)** **Outer thigh lift** – This is the most effective thigh lift technique. Often inches of outer thigh and waist tissue can be removed with an outer thigh lift. An outer thigh lift is best performed as part of a lower body lift or circumferential thigh lift. An outer thigh lift corrects for the outer thigh laxity, saddlebag prominence and waist laxity. **3)** **Spiral thigh lift** – Pioneered by Drs. Agha and Hurwitz, this thigh lift procedure was developed for weight loss patients who require a powerful lift of the back (posterior thigh lift) and inner (medical thigh lift) thighs. Typically several inches of loose thigh tissue can be removed with this procedure from the back and inner thighs. The spiral thigh lift is more extensive than just lifting the inner thigh tissue via a medial inner thigh lift procedure. **4)** **Anterior (front) thigh lift – **There is no formal procedure for lifting the thigh fronts in plastic surgery. However, Dr. Agha has developed a technique that offers about 1½ to 2½ inches of anterior thigh lift. Anterior thigh lift is best performed as part of an extended tummy tuck, lower body lift, or circumferential thigh lift. **5) Circumferential thigh lift** – This is a combination of outer thigh lift, anterior thigh lift and Spiral thigh lift. The combination of the thigh lift procedures corrects for thigh laxity in the front, outer, inner and back. Hence the thighs are lifted circumferentially. **6)** **Vertical thighplasty with or without liposuction** – This procedure is best used for those patients who need a reduction of thigh circumference. The procedure will remove the excess inner thigh skin through an incision that goes from the pubic area to the inner knee. Dr. Agha commonly performs thigh liposuction with this procedure to make the thighs slimmer before removing the loose skin #### Spiral Thigh Lift As patients lose weight, many end up with inner thigh and thigh back tissue laxity. Often patients complain about a fold of skin below the groin crease on the inner aspect of their thighs. Often, the inner thigh fold extends under the buttock crease (infra-gluteal crease) as what is known as a banana roll. Furthermore, the infra-gluteal crease can become loose. When this happens, the junction between the lower buttocks and upper thigh is lost. The buttocks and the thighs blend together, altering and blurring the shape of both the buttocks and thighs. The Spiral thigh lift is a signature thigh lift procedure pioneered by Drs. Agha and Hurwitz in 2007. Termed the “Spiral Thigh Lift ” by Dr. Siamak Agha, this thigh lift procedure corrects for the vertical laxity of the back and inner surfaces of the thigh. The spiral thigh lift surgery begins with an incision at the infra-gluteal crease that separates the buttock cheek from the upper thigh. A second incision is then made over the upper thighs parallel to the infra-gluteal incision. A crescent of excess tissue on the back of the upper thigh is removed through this incision and then the upper thigh tissue is lifted to a higher position and secured to the underlying tissues via multiple permanent sutures. In this fashion, the lifted thigh tissue is permanently anchored. Next, the infra-gluteal crease is reconstructed, enhancing the shape of the buttocks and thigh. Dr. Agha is able to lift the infra-gluteal fold if needed and reconstruct it at a higher position. This controls the shape and height of the buttocks. Both of the incisions of the Spiral thigh lift are then continued on the inner thigh over the groin crease and parallel to it. Through these incisions, excess skin and fat of the inner thigh are removed, the inner thigh is lifted and then anchored multiple times with permanent sutures at an elevated position. The groin crease is then meticulously reconstructed to create an inconspicuous scar. The final scar of the Spiral thigh lift ends up in the infra-gluteal crease and the groin crease. #### Vertical Thighplasty For patients who have horizontal thigh excess, a vertical thighplasty, which is a thigh reduction procedure is needed in order to remove the excess inner thigh skin. Many plastic surgeons call this procedure a vertical thigh lift incorrectly. The vertical thighplasty is not a lift and should not be called a vertical thigh lift. Vertical thighplasty involves removing a large elliptical section of skin and tissue from the inner thigh. This is done through a vertical incision that runs from the groin crease all the way to the inner knees or below the inner knees if needed. The incision is placed on the inner aspect of the thighs so that it is well hidden. In this manner the thigh circumference can be reduced by about 25 to 33% in most patients. In our practice, a vertical thighplasty is the recommended procedure for about one third of patients who need a thigh contour correction. Following the vertical thighplasty, many patients elect to have an outer thigh lift together with the spiral thigh lift in order to achieve complete circumferential thigh lift of their reduced thighs.

POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content #### What is a Total Body Lift? A **Total Body Lift**—also known as a **Full Body Lift** or **Complete Body Lift**—is the most comprehensive body contouring procedure available. It is designed to remove excess skin circumferentially and tighten the entire body for a smoother, firmer, and more youthful contour. With the widespread use of **GLP-1 weight loss medications** such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, many patients are experiencing rapid and significant weight loss—often accompanied by loose, sagging skin. A Total Body Lift is an effective solution for patients who have lost weight through **GLP-1 therapy, bariatric surgery, or lifestyle changes** and wish to restore shape, curves, and skin tightness. Dr. **Siamak Agha** is internationally recognized for his expertise in body lift surgery and has performed **over 600 body lift procedures**, one of the **highest volumes by a single plastic surgeon worldwide**. Several of the advanced techniques used in his practice were **developed by Dr. Agha** and are published in **plastic surgery textbooks**. Today, more and more non-weight loss patients are getting a body lift to rejuvenate their body and to enhance their shape in order to match their younger spirit. Patients embark on body lift procedures in an effort to remove loose excess skin, to tighten their contour, to get ride of dimples and cellulites, to enhance their curvatures, and to augment their physique. #### Total Body Transformation A **body lift** is a comprehensive surgical procedure that removes a circumferential band of excess skin and tissue to tighten the body and create a smoother, more contoured appearance. Body lift surgery is divided into **lower body lifts** and **upper body lifts**. A** lower body lift** removes excess tissue from the lower torso and lifts the abdomen, waist, thighs, and buttocks. An **upper body lift** removes excess skin from the chest and back, tightening and reshaping the upper body. When both the upper and lower body lifts are performed, the procedure is referred to as a **Total Body Lift**, **Full Body Lift**, or **Complete Body Lift**. Due to the scope and complexity of surgery, most patients require **two or more stages** to safely and effectively achieve their desired outcome. In select cases, upper or lower body contouring may be performed during a single operative session. For each body area, specialized surgical techniques have been developed to optimally address skin laxity. Several of these advanced procedures were developed by **Dr. Siamak Agha** himself and have been published in **plastic surgery textbooks**. #### Procedures That May Be Included in a Total Body Lift A Total Body Lift is customized to each patient and may include any combination of the following procedures for comprehensive correction: A **Total Body Lift** typically requires** 16 to 24 hours of surgery**. Dr. Agha prefers to perform these procedures in **two stages** when the total operative time is approximately 16 hours, or **three stages** when surgery exceeds 16 hours. Each stage lasts approximately **7.5 hours**, with the entire surgical day dedicated to **one patient only.** A third stage may be recommended if additional procedures are desired. Dr. Agha advises patients to wait **at least three months between stages** to allow for optimal healing, nutritional replenishment, and resolution of swelling. As a result, the full Total Body Lift process—from first surgery to complete healing—may take **up to one year**. Historically, body lift procedures were most commonly performed following massive weight loss to address excess skin. Today, however, **many non–weight loss patients** seek body lift surgery to rejuvenate their appearance and enhance their body contours to better reflect their youthful energy. Patients pursue body lift procedures to remove loose skin, tighten their silhouette, reduce dimpling and cellulite, enhance natural curves, and improve overall body proportion. #### How Does Dr. Agha Do a Total Body Lift? A Total Body Lift is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. The procedure beings with careful preoperative markings to guide precise skin removal and ensure balanced symmetrical results. #### Recovery After a Body Lift --- ## Tuberous Breast Correction Surgery **Link:** [Tuberous Breast Correction Surgery](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/tuberous-breast-surgery-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/tuberous-breast-surgery-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** If you have a tuberous breast deformity you may consider tuberous breast correction surgery to restore symmetry and balance to the chest. Call today! NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content How do you define beauty? There is more to beauty than just a symmetrical face with perfectly proportioned features. Beauty also pertains to other parts of your body, like a flat tummy, rounded buttocks, and full, perky breasts. Just like how soft and smooth skin is considered an indication of youth and beauty, breasts must also have specific characteristics to be considered beautiful. Ideally, your breasts must be symmetrical, with a [45% fullness above the nipple line, 55% fullness below the nipple line](https://www.shape.com/lifestyle/scientists-say-theyve-found-perfect-breasts), and sporting a slight teardrop shape. And have you ever wondered why push-up bras are so popular? It’s because they create a nice cleavage — another ideal characteristic of a beautiful bust line. But not all women are lucky to have these symmetrical and rounded breasts. Some people are born with a tubular pair instead of round ones, giving the appearance of droopy, elongated breasts. Others have an asymmetrical pair — one normal breast coupled with a tubular breast. Sometimes, one breast is larger than the other, and one might even be absent. And because this is genetic, no amount of lifestyle changes can ever correct these deformities. [.divider-lines]The good news is that you can always get a tuberous breast correction from Dr. Siamak Agha, one of the top board-certified plastic surgeons in Orange County and Los Angeles, and achieve the rounded breast shape you’ve always dreamed of.[] Continue reading this article to learn more about tuberous breast correction.

Those include the development of excess flab and skin in your abdomen. And sometimes, no amount of strict diet or vigorous exercise is enough. Weightloss won’t always reveal the contoured and defined abs hidden underneath a layer of excess skin and fat.

Here are the criteria Dr. Agha follows in pursuing a beautiful core. [Check out this blog post to learn more about the characteristics of a beautiful abdomen.](/blog/what-makes-your-abdomen-beautiful-and-how-can-you-achieve-it/) #### What is a Tummy Tuck? *Transform the abdominal area* Despite working out and eating healthy, it may still be impossible to achieve those perfectly toned and flat abs. Usually, this is due to skin and abdominal muscle looseness. This is where a tummy tuck comes in. Also known as abdominoplasty, this procedure removes the extra abdominal tissue and skin between the navel and pubic area. Simultaneously, it tightens the abdominal muscles to reveal the bikini-ready body that you’ve worked hard for. To understand how a tummy tuck works, let’s first examine the primary sources of abdominal looseness. They are the loss of skin elasticity and abdominal muscle separation after pregnancy or significant weight gain. These two contribute to the stubborn bulge that you just can’t get rid of with exercise. At the same time, these expand your abdominal muscles way beyond what the connecting tissues can endure. This causes your abdominal muscles to separate in a condition known as [diastasis recti](/blog/understanding-diastasis-recti-in-pregnancy-how-to-get-rid-of-the-unwanted-postpartum-pooch/). You may lose skin elasticity after pregnancy or rapid weight loss, so the skin cannot bounce back to its original form. And to transform the abdominal area from bulgy to flat and toned, your surgeon may need to do the following: - Removing excess skin on the lower abdomen - Removing fat cells on the waist area by having liposuction as an additional procedure - Tightening separated abdominal muscles - Reshaping and repositioning the belly button Results usually are permanent if you avoid anything that can worsen skin laxity and abdominal muscle separation. For example, weight fluctuations and pregnancies. You may also combine the tummy tuck with other procedures to achieve a 360-degree body contouring.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Correcting the Past, Shaping the Future *Tummy Tuck Revision* A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the United States, offering patients a flatter, firmer, and more contoured abdomen. While many individuals are pleased with their results, not every tummy tuck achieves the outcome a patient hopes for. When a prior procedure leaves behind visible scarring, poor contour, or functional concerns, a **tummy tuck revision** may be the solution. [.divider-lines] Revision abdominoplasty is a highly specialized procedure that requires advanced technical skill, aesthetic judgment, and extensive experience. Dr. Siamak Agha is internationally recognized for his expertise in complex and revision body contouring surgery. [] He routinely treats patients who are dissatisfied with results from prior tummy tuck procedures performed elsewhere, helping them restore balance, proportion, and confidence. #### The Importance of Experience in Revision Surgery Tummy tuck revision is significantly more complex than primary abdominoplasty. Scar tissue, altered anatomy, compromised blood supply, and limited available skin make revision surgery technically demanding and less forgiving. Dr. Agha is widely known for his ability to handle these challenges. With thousands of tummy tuck procedures performed—including a large volume of revision cases—he brings a level of expertise that few surgeons possess. His approach is meticulous, conservative where necessary, and highly customized to each patient’s anatomy and goals. Revision surgery is not about repeating the same operation—it is about understanding what went wrong, why it happened, and how to correct it safely and artistically. #### Why Tummy Tucks Sometimes Need Revision Even though tummy tuck surgery is common, it is also complex and unforgiving. Achieving an excellent outcome requires not only technical precision, but also an artistic eye and deep understanding of anatomy. Some of the most common reasons patients seek tummy tuck revision include: **Suboptimal Surgical Technique** Not all physicians performing tummy tucks are board-certified plastic surgeons. Inadequate training or limited experience can result in improper incision placement, poor contouring, excessive scarring, or unnatural-looking results. Revision surgery often corrects mistakes made during the original operation. **Healing Complications** Even when a tummy tuck is performed well, the body can heal unpredictably. Issues such as wound separation, thick or widened scars, asymmetry, or skin irregularities may develop, compromising the final appearance of the abdomen. **Complications or Weight Changes** Postoperative complications, fluid collections, or significant weight fluctuations after surgery can distort tummy tuck results. These changes may lead to lax skin, contour irregularities, or loss of definition over time. **Aesthetic Concerns** Plastic surgery is both science and art. Some patients are unhappy because their tummy tuck lacks refinement—such as uneven or overly visible scars, insufficient skin removal, poor waist definition, or an unnatural-looking belly button. These concerns are among the most common reasons patients seek revision surgery. If you are unhappy with the results of a previous tummy tuck, revision surgery may help correct these issues and deliver a more natural, aesthetically pleasing outcome. #### Who Is a Candidate for Tummy Tuck Revision? Candidates for tummy tuck revision are patients who remain dissatisfied with the results of a prior abdominoplasty, whether it was performed recently or many years ago. Common concerns include: - High, thick, or highly visible tummy tuck scars - Uneven, jagged, or poorly healed scars - An unnatural, misplaced, or distorted belly button - Inadequate correction or prominence of the mons pubis - Persistent abdominal skin laxity or bulging - Poor abdominal definition or contour irregularities In addition to aesthetic concerns, some patients experience functional issues such as discomfort from tight or poorly positioned scars. During a detailed consultation, Dr. Agha carefully reviews your surgical history, examines your anatomy, and evaluates scar quality, skin elasticity, muscle repair, and overall contour. He then determines whether revision surgery is appropriate and what techniques will provide the best possible improvement. #### How Dr. Agha Performs a Tummy Tuck Revision There is no one-size-fits-all approach to tummy tuck revision. Every patient’s concerns are different, and every revision plan is tailored accordingly. Dr. Agha focuses on both what was done during the original surgery and what needs to be modified to improve the final result. [**Book your consultation for a revision tummy tuck in Orange County**](#schedule-consult-footer-form) #### When Additional Procedures Are Needed In some cases, dissatisfaction is not caused by the tummy tuck alone. Patients may benefit from additional procedures such as: - Liposuction for improved contour - Mons pubis reshaping or lifting - Further abdominal muscle tightening - Scar refinement or skin resurfacing Dr. Agha takes a comprehensive approach, addressing the abdomen as a whole rather than focusing on a single flaw. #### Recovery and Expectations Recovery from a tummy tuck revision varies depending on the extent of correction required. While some revisions are minor, others are more extensive. Dr. Agha provides each patient with a [detailed recovery plan](/patient-resources/recovery-instructions-body/) to support safe healing and optimal results. Patients are carefully monitored throughout the healing process, and follow-up visits are an essential part of achieving the best outcome. #### Final Thoughts --- ## TUMMY-TUCK TYPES **Link:** [TUMMY-TUCK TYPES](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/tummy-tuck-types-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/tummy-tuck-types-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Did you know there is more than one type of tummy tuck?

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content No one likes the pooch that’s left behind on their abdomen after pregnancy or weight loss. Fortunately, a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty can restore the flat and firm tummy you’ve worked so hard for. But not all abdominoplasties are created equal. Dr. Siamak Agha, top SoCal plastic surgeon and body contouring expert, offers so much more than the standard tummy tuck or his signature [high-definition tummy tuck](/tummy-tuck-newport-beach/)™. Continue reading the rest of this article to learn about the various types of tummy tucks that Dr. Agha practices — and help you decide which one best suits you. #### Mini Tummy Tuck and Hybrid Tummy Tuck Before deciding on the best plastic surgery for your abdomen, it’s essential to better understand your abdominal anatomy and what criteria Dr. Agha follows in pursuing a beautiful core. [Check out this blog post to learn more about the characteristics of a beautiful abdomen.](/tummy-tuck-types-newport-beach/#) #### Liposuction Tummy Tuck A liposuction tummy tuck, also referred to as lipo-abdominoplasty, ensures that you achieve a flatter stomach and the ideal contour you want for your belly. It is a relatively new technique described by Dr. Saldengo, a Brazilian plastic surgeon. In the traditional tummy tuck, liposuction is limited to the hips and waist because of the risk of damaging blood vessels in the abdomen. A liposuction tummy tuck has a more aggressive liposuction technique, although blood vessels are kept intact to make healing and recovery easier. A liposuction tummy tuck provides an overall better aesthetic look for people who want to overhaul their body contour. #### Extended Tummy Tuck Like a full tummy tuck, the extended tummy tuck involves muscle tightening, abdominal skin excision, and liposuction. It is pretty much the same as the full tummy tuck, but the incision extends past the waists and removes the extra skin from the waists, hips, and love handles. As such, it reshapes the body’s hip region in a much better way than the full tummy tuck. One can say that it’s more extensive than the standard full tummy tuck but less invasive than a circumferential tummy tuck. #### Plus Size Tummy Tuck If you are on the heavier side but still want to flatten and reshape your belly, good news: you can get a plus size tummy tuck! Designed for individuals with a larger body type, the plus size tummy tuck gets rid of excess fat, skin, and tissue and tightens your abdominal muscles so that you still get a confidence boost from your flatter tummy. It will also eliminate hanging skin folds that cause chafing, make your clothes fit better, and even make exercise a lot easier to do after your recovery. #### Circumferential Tummy Tuck Also known as a belt lipectomy, the circumferential tummy tuck addresses loose hanging skin on the lower body — the abdomen, waist, lower back, and buttocks. Though many plastic surgeons refer to the circumferential tummy tuck and lower body lift interchangeably, they are entirely different. Dr. Agha’s lower body lift is far more complex. It often includes a [tummy tuck](/tummy-tuck-newport-beach/), anterior and outer [thigh lift](/thigh-lift-newport-beach/), [pubic lift](/lower-body-lift-newport-beach/), waist and lower back skin excision, [buttock lift and buttock augmentation](/brazilian-butt-lift-newport-beach/), and lipocontouring. On the other hand, the circumferential tummy tuck mostly includes a tummy tuck, waist reduction, and buttock lift only. #### Inverted-T or Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty Less common than other types of tummy tuck, the inverted-T abdominoplasty gets rid of the fullness of your waists so that you can unravel your hourglass shape. It combines a horizontal incision over the lower abdomen with a vertical one on the abdomen, creating an inverted-T shape, hence its name. Although the procedure produces an attractive abdominal contour, it puts an unsightly and visible scar in the middle of your abdomen. For this reason, Dr. Agha tries his best not to employ this procedure unless it is absolutely needed and wanted by the patient. #### Panniculectomy Panniculectomy is a procedure that corrects the appearance of an overhanging pannus — the excess skin and fatty tissue on your lower abdomen that often sags and covers the pubic area. It is usually caused by massive weight loss. #### Reverse Tummy Tuck Most tummy tuck procedures address skin laxity issues in your upper and lower abdomen. But what if your problem lies in the lower chest or upper abdomen? These patients often have breasts that are too low on the chest or have an upper abdominal roll below the breasts. In such cases, a traditional tummy tuck won’t work well on the upper abdominal laxity. Instead, a reverse tummy tuck might just be what you need. Made to address upper abdominal skin laxity issues, a reverse tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat on your upper abdomen and lower chest just below the breasts. The skin is then vertically pulled upwards towards the breasts. It is like a mini-tummy tuck done upside down, with the incision made along the inframammary fold — the crease underneath the breasts. Compared to other tummy tuck types, this procedure is relatively uncommon and is often done together with a [breast reduction](https://plasticsurgerycal.com/breast-reduction-newport-beach/), [breast lift](https://plasticsurgerycal.com/breast-lift-newport-beach/), [breast lift with implants](https://plasticsurgerycal.com/breast-lift-with-implants-newport-beach/), or [upper body lift](https://plasticsurgerycal.com/tummy-tuck-types-newport-beach/#). As such, it does not leave any additional scarring in the lower abdominal area. This makes it easier to conceal under a bra or bikini top. You also don’t have to worry much about complications because the reverse tummy tuck does not interrupt blood supply. #### Tummy Tuck Revision The tummy tuck may be one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the United States, but that does not mean all the operations end up being successful. While most patients are delighted with their results, some of them encounter issues such as: - **Botched Surgery** – The truth is, any physician can perform cosmetic surgery even if he/she’s not fully trained in plastic surgery. Some surgeons offering tummy tuck are not board-certified in plastic surgery, resulting in unfavorable results. - **Healing Problems** – No matter how skilled your plastic surgeon is, there is a small risk that your body might unfavorably heal after your tummy tuck. It might make your abdomen unattractive despite your surgeon’s best efforts. - **Complications and Body Weight Changes** – Such issues can lead to problems in your tummy tuck, giving you an outcome that’s less than favorable. - **Aesthetically Unappealing Results** – Plastic surgery is an art. You might find a great surgeon, but that doesn’t automatically mean that he/she is a great artist as well. You may have uneven or highly visible scars, or not enough skin may have been removed. If you encounter any of these problems, then you might want to request a tummy tuck revision. #### Get Your Tummy Tuck from Newport Beach, Orange County Sometimes, the issues you’re experiencing may not be directly related to a tummy tuck.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content Liposuction alone can produce remarkable results for your body, but combining it with sophisticated procedures has made it all the more effective in removing unwanted fat in hard-to-reach places. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) — also known as ultrasonic or vaser liposuction — is one of those procedures best paired with tumescent liposuction to help get rid of stubborn fatty deposits in various parts of your body. [.divider-lines]Aside from fat removal, UAL can also sculpt and etch your abdomen, especially when done by a body contouring expert and highly-skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Siamak Agha of The One Plastic Surgery Center.[] Keep on reading to learn more about ultrasonic liposuction. #### What is Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction? UAL makes use of high-pitched sound waves to disintegrate large amounts of fat in a localized area. The broken fat, which is now like a milkshake, is then removed using a liposuction cannula. Unlike laser liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction can be used to remove fat from hard-to-reach areas like your neck, chin, knees, calves, and ankles. It can also eliminate fat in major areas, such as your belly, back, arms, thighs, and chest for men. UAL is of particular use in areas that are very fibrous and hard to liposuction, such as the upper and mid-back, the back of arms, and the chest. Furthermore, it can be performed for people who need precise body sculpting services, which is why it is capable of etching the abdomen. Its versatility has made it superior compared to other liposuction methods. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction is less invasive than traditional liposuction. It can emulsify fat without tearing adjacent tissues because of cannula-based or generator-based soundwave technology. As a result, it causes less bleeding and bruising. The UAL soundwaves precisely target fat cells, causing them to implode and liquefy for streamlined fat removal. Such precision minimizes tissue and blood loss and even optimizes the process of suctioning out the fat. #### What are the Pros and Cons of Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction? #### How Does Dr. Agha Perform Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction? First, Dr. Agha injects tumescent fluid — composed of saline solution, epinephrine, and lidocaine anesthetic — into the area to be treated. The fluid helps minimize blood loss and liquefies fat deposits so that they can be easily removed. Dr. Agha uses a thin Vaser cannula to deliver soundwaves created via Vaser. The fat cells disintegrate once the cannula comes in contact with the fatty tissue. Finally, Dr. Agha suctions out the liquefied fat using a liposuction cannula. #### Get Your Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction Done *in Newport Beach, Orange County* Thanks to its precision in targeting hard-to-reach areas, ultrasound-assisted liposuction can help get rid of stubborn fatty deposits in various parts of your body. Combined with tumescent liposuction, it can even improve your body contours. --- ## Understanding Muscle Repair in Tummy Tuck Surgery **Link:** [Understanding Muscle Repair in Tummy Tuck Surgery](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/understanding-muscle-repair-in-tummy-tuck-surgery/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/understanding-muscle-repair-in-tummy-tuck-surgery/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how abdominal muscle repair during tummy tuck surgery restores core strength, improves posture, and creates a flatter abdomen with Dr. Siamak Agha in Newport Beach. ### Content --- ## Understanding Rhinoplasty: Subtle Changes, Big Confidence **Link:** [Understanding Rhinoplasty: Subtle Changes, Big Confidence](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/understanding-rhinoplasty-subtle-changes-big-confidence/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/understanding-rhinoplasty-subtle-changes-big-confidence/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how rhinoplasty delivers subtle yet powerful changes.

We are located in Newport Beach, CA, and serve all of Orange County. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### A Non-Invasive Way to Bust Cellulite & Shrink Your Stubborn Fats Summer is like an extended season here in Southern California, and for most days of the year, you can show some skin. But no matter how fit you are, there might be one or two things about your body or skin that bother you. Studies show that 90% of women aged 25 to 60 say that they want to change some things in their bodies. One-third of them even said that they are willing to consider methods other than traditional diet and exercise to get the body they want. If you’re like most people, you may have some areas of unwanted fat or cellulite that just won’t seem to go away, keeping you away from wearing shorts and skirts. But thanks to non-invasive body shaping procedures like VelaShape® III, you can say goodbye to those imperfections and flaunt a flawless, firmer, and more toned body. Continue reading the rest of this article to know more about VelaShape® III. #### What is VelaShape® III? VelaShape® III targets one of the most common problems among women — cellulite. It reduces its appearance in the treated areas and is especially popular for thigh cellulite. Other than your thighs, VelaShape® III can also reduce cellulite in other parts of your body, such as the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, and upper arms. It can even reduce excess fat and get rid of mild sagging under the chin. VelaShape® III uses a combined energy system called elōs™, which first uses a small vacuum to elevate the skin, then treats it with infrared light and radiofrequency energy. The elōs™ system employs: - **Vacuum technology **which gently suctions the skin closer to the energy source - **Mechanical massage with rollers**, which works with the suction to stretch the fibrous bands under the skin that cause cellulite, making contouring easier - **Infrared light and bipolar radiofrequency energies**, which heat fat cells and surrounding tissues, shrinking them. They also tighten the underlying dermal collagen fibers and stimulate elastin and collagen production, firming up the skin and reducing laxity over time. This deep therapeutic treatment has quickly gained popularity because it delivers consistent and reproducible results with minimal downtime or discomfort. Compared to VelaShape® I and II, VelaShape® III uses higher amounts of energy more safely. Because of this, you can expect shorter treatment times and faster results, with some patients reporting favorable results right after their first session. #### What are the Benefits of VelaShape® III? *What are the Differences?* #### How is a VelaShape® III Treatment Done? Once you have been examined, our aesthetician places a handheld device against your skin. You’ll feel some suctioning on your skin as it gently pulls the skin’s fatty layer closer to the device. Doing so allows your fat to be better exposed to the infrared light and RF energy. It drives heat deeper into the tissues and opens up compressed vessels, thereby increasing lymphatic drainage. You’ll also feel some warmth as the device heats the connective tissues, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Infrared light penetrates the dermis, improving collagen formation and metabolic changes to fat cells. Radiofrequency energy goes deeper to the hypodermis, targeting connective and fatty tissues. Our technician will make sure to maintain the temperature between 43 and 45 degrees Celsius to produce optimal results. She can easily adjust this to ensure a comfortable and painless experience for you. After one session, you’ll feel like you’ve just had a deep tissue massage. #### VelaShape® *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get VelaShape® III *in Orange County and Los Angeles* Suppose you want a non-invasive procedure that lets you firm up your thighs and abdomen by getting rid of excess fat and reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, these medications have since become popular for managing obesity and metabolic disorders. But beyond their well-known benefits, emerging research suggests that GLP-1 medications may have powerful anti-aging effects, from reducing inflammation and protecting brain function to improving cardiovascular health and metabolism. As scientists continue to explore their broader impact, it’s becoming clear that these drugs may do more than just help with weight loss—they could play a key role in slowing the aging process and enhancing overall longevity. In this article, we’ll uncover the hidden anti-aging benefits of GLP-1 medications and what science says about their potential beyond weight management. #### Metabolic Health and Longevity: The Foundation of Anti-Aging When we talk about aging, most people think of wrinkles, gray hair, and slower movement. But the real drivers of aging happen on a cellular and metabolic level. Metabolic health is one of the most important factors in determining how well we age, influencing everything from energy levels and brain function to heart health and disease risk. Unfortunately, poor metabolic health accelerates aging, and many people unknowingly suffer from metabolic dysfunction long before they develop noticeable health issues. This dysfunction contributes to chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative conditions—some of the biggest threats to longevity. #### Why Metabolic Health is Key to Aging Well Aging isn’t just about getting older—it’s about how well our body maintains cellular function, energy production, and overall vitality. When metabolic health declines, aging speeds up in several ways: - **High Insulin Resistance = Faster Aging:** Insulin resistance, a condition where the body doesn’t respond well to insulin, leads to chronic inflammation, poor glucose control, and accelerated tissue damage—all of which contribute to aging-related diseases. - **Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease:** Chronic metabolic dysfunction is a precursor to type 2 diabetes, which increases the risk of heart disease, kidney failure, and nerve damage—all major factors in declining health with age. - **Cognitive Decline and Neurodegeneration:** The brain relies on stable blood sugar levels and efficient mitochondrial function to work properly. Poor metabolic health has been directly linked to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and overall cognitive decline. Maintaining healthy metabolic function is one of the most effective ways to slow aging and improve quality of life as we get older. #### How GLP-1 Medications Improve Metabolic Health GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are best known for helping with weight loss and diabetes management, but their benefits extend far beyond that. These medications target key metabolic pathways that directly affect longevity and aging. #### Inflammation and Aging: How GLP-1 Medications Reduce Chronic Inflammation Aging is shaped by what happens inside our bodies at a cellular level. One of the biggest contributors to aging is chronic inflammation, a phenomenon so closely tied to aging that scientists refer to it as “inflammaging.” While inflammation is a natural response that helps our bodies heal from injuries and infections, persistent, low-grade inflammation can accelerate aging and increase the risk of chronic diseases. Over time, this silent inflammation damages cells, tissues, and organs, contributing to conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and even skin aging. #### How Chronic Inflammation Drives Aging As we age, our immune system becomes less efficient at controlling inflammation, leading to a prolonged inflammatory state that speeds up tissue damage and disease progression. This process is linked to several age-related conditions: - **Heart Disease:** Chronic inflammation contributes to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. - **Neurodegenerative Diseases:** Inflammatory markers are found in high levels in patients with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, suggesting a direct link between inflammation and cognitive decline. - **Skin Aging:** Inflammation breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and slower wound healing. - **Arthritis and Joint Degeneration:** Inflammation causes cartilage breakdown and joint pain, making movement more difficult with age. Because chronic inflammation is at the root of many age-related diseases, reducing inflammation could be one of the most powerful ways to slow aging and extend life span. #### How GLP-1 Medications Combat Chronic Inflammation GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are commonly used for weight loss and blood sugar regulation, but research is showing that they also have potent anti-inflammatory effects. Here’s how they work: #### Brain Health and Cognitive Protection: Can GLP-1 Medications Prevent Alzheimer’s? Aging is associated with changes in brain metabolism, increased oxidative stress, and inflammation, all of which contribute to neurodegenerative diseases. Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other forms of dementia are among the most feared conditions of aging, yet current treatments only slow progression rather than prevent the disease. Scientists are now exploring the potential of GLP-1 medications in protecting against cognitive decline and even preventing Alzheimer’s disease. #### Skin and Cellular Health: Do GLP-1 Drugs Have Anti-Aging Effects on the Skin? When we think about anti-aging treatments for the skin, we often focus on topical skincare, collagen supplements, and cosmetic procedures. However, aging begins on a deeper, cellular level, and the way our body processes glucose, manages inflammation, and controls oxidative stress all play a major role in how our skin looks and ages over time. Since GLP-1 medications improve metabolic function, reduce inflammation, and lower oxidative stress, they may also indirectly benefit skin health and slow visible signs of aging. While these medications aren’t marketed as skin-rejuvenation treatments, their impact on the body suggests they could be a powerful tool in preserving youthful skin. #### How Metabolic Health Affects Skin Aging Metabolic health plays a key role in skin quality because high blood sugar levels, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress accelerate aging at a cellular level. Poor metabolic function leads to: - **Increased glycation:** A process where sugar molecules attach to collagen and elastin fibers, making them stiff and prone to breakdown. This leads to wrinkles, loss of firmness, and a dull complexion. - **Dehydrated, less elastic skin:** When glucose metabolism is impaired, skin struggles to retain moisture, leading to dryness and loss of elasticity. - **Higher levels of oxidative stress:** Free radicals damage skin cells, accelerating aging and causing sagging, uneven skin tone, and slower wound healing. By improving metabolic health, GLP-1 medications may help counteract these skin-aging processes. #### Potential Skin Benefits of GLP-1 Medications Although more research is needed to confirm direct skin benefits, current studies suggest that GLP-1 drugs may support healthier, more youthful-looking skin in the following ways: #### Cardiovascular Benefits: The Heart-Healthy Side of GLP-1 Drugs Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of aging-related death, and cardiovascular health plays a crucial role in how well and how long we live. As we age, the risk of hypertension, arterial stiffness, and high cholesterol increases, leading to a greater likelihood of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications. Interestingly, GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have shown significant heart-protective benefits, making them more than just weight loss or diabetes medications. Recent studies indicate that these drugs can lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and improve circulation, all of which contribute to a healthier cardiovascular system and increased longevity. #### How GLP-1 Medications Support Cardiovascular Health High cholesterol and triglyceride levels contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to heart disease, strokes, and reduced blood flow to major organs. GLP-1 medications have been found to: - Lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, reducing plaque formation. - Increase HDL (“good”) cholesterol, which helps clear out artery-clogging deposits. - Reduce triglyceride levels, decreasing the risk of fatty buildup in blood vessels. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that patients taking GLP-1 medications had significantly [lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels](https://www.swgeneral.com/blog/2025/february/glp-1-medications-more-than-just-blood-sugar-con/), reducing their overall cardiovascular risk. #### The Future of GLP-1 Medications in Anti-Aging Medicine While the idea of using GLP-1 medications purely for anti-aging purposes is still controversial, researchers are already exploring new ways to personalize these treatments and enhance their longevity benefits. #### Conclusion GLP-1 medications have revolutionized weight loss and diabetes management, but their benefits extend far beyond metabolism. Research suggests they may reduce inflammation, protect brain function, improve cardiovascular health, and even slow skin aging—all key factors in longevity. By enhancing insulin sensitivity, lowering oxidative stress, and promoting overall metabolic efficiency, these drugs could play a role in slowing the aging process and extending health span. However, while the science is promising, long-term studies are still needed to confirm their effectiveness as an anti-aging treatment, especially for those without metabolic disorders. If you’re curious about whether GLP-1 medications could support your long-term health, consult with a qualified healthcare provider to weigh the potential benefits and risks based on your individual needs. #### Important Disclaimer: GLP-1 receptor agonist medications, including semaglutides (such as Ozempic® and Wegovy®) and tirzepatides (such as Mounjaro®), are prescription drugs intended for the management of type 2 diabetes and, in some cases, weight loss under medical supervision.

Between busy schedules, stress, and fluctuating hormones, shedding those extra pounds may seem almost impossible. But what if there was a way to make it a little easier? Enter **semaglutide**, a groundbreaking medication that’s been making waves in the weight loss arena. At The One Plastic Surgery Center, we understand your weight loss challenges and are proud to offer weight loss medications like semaglutide as part of our commitment to anti-aging, wellness, and enhancing the results of plastic surgery. These innovative treatments can serve as valuable tools to support our patients’ holistic health journeys. So, in this article, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about semaglutide — how it works, what benefits it offers, and what to consider if you’re thinking about using it to reach your weight loss goals. #### What is Semaglutide? Semaglutide is a medication originally designed to help manage type 2 diabetes, but it has since gained attention for its remarkable weight loss properties. #### How It Works It belongs to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic the action of the naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone in the body. This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating digestion by prompting insulin release, slowing gastric emptying, and sending signals to the brain that trigger feelings of fullness. By mimicking these effects, semaglutide: - helps reduce appetite - enhances insulin production - suppresses glucagon that controls blood sugar - promotes satiety All of these lead to lower calorie intake and significant weight loss over time. #### What Are the Benefits of Semaglutide? **Significant Weight Loss and Metabolism Boost** Semaglutide is proven to deliver significant weight loss results, with clinical studies showing participants losing up to 15% of their body weight. It works by boosting the metabolism through improved insulin sensitivity, which helps the body burn more calories. This increase in metabolic function helps patients lose weight and sustain that weight loss over time, offering a transformative approach for those struggling with obesity. **Appetite Suppression and Craving Control** One of the standout benefits of semaglutide is its ability to reduce appetite. Mimicking the GLP-1 hormone signals the brain to feel full, curbing cravings and reducing overall food intake. This makes it much easier for individuals to stick to a calorie-restricted diet without feeling constantly hungry, often a major obstacle in traditional weight loss efforts. #### Health Benefits Beyond Weight Loss While semaglutide is primarily known for weight management, its benefits extend far beyond the scale. #### Semaglutide Candidacy #### Semaglutide *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Semaglutides **Link:** [Semaglutides](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/weight-loss-resources/how-semaglutides-can-support-sustainable-long-term-weight-loss/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/weight-loss-resources/how-semaglutides-can-support-sustainable-long-term-weight-loss/index.html.md)) **Description:** How Semaglutides Can Support Sustainable Long-Term Weight Loss - & LONG TERM WEIGHT LOSS - ### Content #### How Semaglutides Can Support Sustainable Long-Term Weight Loss Many of us know the struggle of losing weight, but keeping it off can seem impossible.

If you’re tired of the yo-yo dieting cycle, there may be a new tool to help you achieve lasting results. Semaglutides, a class of medications initially used for managing diabetes, have gained recognition for their ability to promote weight loss and support long-term weight maintenance. In this article, we’ll dive into how semaglutides work, why they are effective for maintaining weight loss over time, and who might find them the most beneficial. But first, let’s answer why keeping excess weight off is so hard. #### Why Sustainable Weight Loss Is So Challenging Sustaining weight loss is notoriously difficult, especially for busy women and moms balancing work, family, and social responsibilities. But why is keeping the pounds off after initial success so challenging? The answer lies in a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. #### How Semaglutides Help Semaglutides have been creating waves in the weight loss world for good reason—they target some of the most challenging aspects of maintaining long-term weight loss. But what makes these medications so effective? #### The Benefits of Semaglutides for Long-Term Weight Loss When it comes to sustainable, long-term weight management, semaglutides have proven to be a game-changer. Unlike traditional methods that often yield temporary results, semaglutides offer benefits that support lasting changes in body weight and overall health. #### Semaglutides *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Important Disclaimer: GLP-1 receptor agonist medications, including semaglutides (such as Ozempic® and Wegovy®) and tirzepatides (such as Mounjaro®), are prescription drugs intended for the management of type 2 diabetes and, in some cases, weight loss under medical supervision.

With so much buzz and chatter online, it’s hard to separate fact from fiction. Semaglutides, initially developed for type 2 diabetes management, have gained significant attention for their effectiveness in weight loss, often leading to results surpassing traditional methods. But with popularity comes misinformation. Are they safe? Do they replace diet and exercise entirely? In this article, we’ll tackle and debunk common myths surrounding semaglutides, giving you clear, factual insights so you can make informed decisions about your weight loss journey. #### Myth 1: Semaglutides Are Only for People With Diabetes While it’s true that semaglutides were initially developed to help manage blood sugar levels in diabetic patients, their potential for supporting weight loss has expanded their use far beyond diabetes management. Clinical studies have demonstrated that semaglutides can be highly effective in promoting weight loss in people without diabetes, especially those struggling with obesity or who have a high BMI. So, how do semaglutides work for weight loss? These medications belong to GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic a natural hormone that regulates appetite and promotes satiety. By activating these receptors, semaglutides help reduce hunger, making it easier to stick to a calorie-controlled diet and avoid overeating. This appetite-regulating effect can benefit anyone looking to lose weight, not just those managing diabetes. #### Myth 2: Semaglutides Are a 'Quick Fix' for Weight Loss It’s easy to think of weight loss medications as magic solutions that instantly melt away pounds. But when it comes to semaglutides, it’s important to understand that they are not a quick fix. Yes, these medications can be highly effective for weight loss, but they work best as part of a comprehensive plan that includes lifestyle changes such as balanced eating and regular physical activity. Semaglutides mimic the body’s GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate appetite and satiety. By reducing hunger and promoting feelings of fullness, semaglutides make it easier to maintain a calorie deficit, essential for weight loss. However, sustainable results take time. Most people start to see noticeable changes within a few weeks, but significant, lasting weight loss typically unfolds over months. This gradual approach is vital to fostering long-term habits and avoiding the yo-yo effect of rapid weight gain after initial success. #### Myth 3: Semaglutides Are Unsafe for Long-Term Use Let’s set the record straight: semaglutides have been extensively studied, and research supports their safety and efficacy over extended periods. Clinical trials have shown that semaglutides can help achieve significant weight loss and maintain it safely over several years. One standout finding from long-term studies is that patients who continued semaglutide treatment for multiple years not only sustained their weight loss but also experienced additional health benefits. For instance, the [SELECT trial](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-02996-7) revealed that participants maintained an average weight loss of about 10% over four years, accompanied by reduced waist circumference and improved cardiovascular health. These outcomes were consistent across diverse populations, highlighting the medication’s effectiveness and safety. Concerns about side effects are understandable, but most people experience only mild, temporary symptoms such as nausea or digestive discomfort during the initial treatment phase. These issues often diminish as the body adjusts. Serious side effects are rare, and discontinuation rates due to adverse reactions are comparable to, or lower than, other treatments. Semaglutides stand out because of the rigorous monitoring and research that support their use. Healthcare providers prescribe them with clear guidelines, ensuring safe administration tailored to individual needs. If you’re considering semaglutides, rest assured that with proper medical oversight, they are a safe, long-term option for supporting sustainable weight loss. #### Myth 4: You Will Regain All the Weight Once You Stop Using Semaglutides A common concern surrounding semaglutides is the fear of regaining all lost weight once treatment stops. While it’s true that stopping any weight loss aid, including semaglutides, could result in some weight regain, this does not mean all progress is automatically reversed. First, semaglutides are designed to support sustainable weight loss, not act as a standalone solution. These medications help regulate appetite and prolong feelings of fullness, making it easier to follow a calorie-controlled diet. But, the most successful weight maintenance comes from pairing semaglutide treatment with lasting lifestyle changes, such as balanced eating habits and regular physical activity. #### Myth 5: Semaglutides Are Only for People Who Are Severely Overweight While semaglutides were initially developed and approved for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher—or 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions—their use has expanded. So, what does this mean for someone who isn’t in the “severely overweight” category but still struggles with weight management? Semaglutides are designed to address metabolic challenges regardless of people’s starting weight. For women who may be dealing with hormonal changes, insulin resistance, or who find weight loss particularly challenging despite their best efforts, semaglutides can be a helpful tool to improve overall health and support sustainable weight loss for those who need it. #### Myth 6: Semaglutides Have Too Many Side Effects to Be Worth It When considering any medication, side effects are a valid concern, and semaglutides are no exception. But while it’s true that some individuals experience side effects, the reality is that most reported issues, such as nausea, mild gastrointestinal discomfort, or bloating, are temporary and tend to decrease as the body adjusts. In most cases, side effects can be effectively managed by starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Moreover, many patients find that the benefits—substantial, sustainable weight loss and improved metabolic health—far outweigh the initial discomfort. #### Important Disclaimer: GLP-1 receptor agonist medications, including semaglutides (such as Ozempic® and Wegovy®) and tirzepatides (such as Mounjaro®), are prescription drugs intended for the management of type 2 diabetes and, in some cases, weight loss under medical supervision.

It’s no secret that Ozempic and Wegovy have taken the weight loss world by storm. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, these GLP-1 receptor agonists quickly gained popularity for their ability to help people shed significant weight with just a once-weekly injection. Celebrities, influencers, and everyday individuals alike have turned to these medications as a solution for stubborn weight struggles, fueling high demand and even nationwide shortages. But while Ozempic and Wegovy have been game changers, they’re not perfect. Many users experience nausea, gastrointestinal issues, and weight regain after stopping the medication. Plus, the hefty price tag and limited insurance coverage make these drugs inaccessible for many. As a result, pharmaceutical companies are racing to develop newer, more effective weight loss medications—ones that work faster, have fewer side effects, and offer better long-term results. So, what’s next in the world of medical weight loss? In this article, we’ll explore the next generation of weight loss drugs, including promising new medications currently in clinical trials, how they work, and when they might be available. If you’ve been curious about what’s beyond Ozempic, keep reading—because the future of weight loss medicine is evolving fast. #### The Success of Ozempic and Wegovy: Why Everyone Wants the Next Big Weight Loss Drug It’s rare for a prescription medication to spark viral buzz, but that’s exactly what happened with Ozempic and Wegovy. Originally designed to help manage type 2 diabetes, these medications quickly gained recognition for their impressive weight loss effects, leading to soaring demand and a cultural moment that put GLP-1 receptor agonists in the spotlight. #### How Ozempic and Wegovy Work Ozempic (semaglutide) and its weight-loss-specific counterpart Wegovy work by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This hormone is naturally produced in the gut and plays a key role in regulating blood sugar, slowing digestion, and sending signals to the brain that promote satiety. By activating GLP-1 receptors, these medications help: - Suppress appetite, making it easier to eat less. - Slow down gastric emptying, meaning food stays in the stomach longer, reducing hunger pangs. - Regulate blood sugar levels, which is especially beneficial for people with insulin resistance or prediabetes. The result? Significant weight loss, often in the range of 10-15% of body weight, without the need for extreme dieting or rigorous exercise. #### The Unprecedented Success of GLP-1 Medications For years, traditional weight loss medications have been hit or miss, often carrying serious side effects or limited effectiveness. But Ozempic and Wegovy changed the game, delivering consistent, clinically proven results. Studies show that many patients who use these drugs lose 10% or more of their body weight within months, with some even exceeding 20%. With such impressive outcomes, it’s no surprise that demand skyrocketed. From Hollywood celebrities to everyday people struggling with obesity, Ozempic and Wegovy became the most talked-about weight loss solutions of the decade. However, this success has come with some serious challenges—which is why the race to develop the next generation of weight loss medications is in full swing. #### The Downsides: Why Patients Want Better Options Despite their effectiveness, Ozempic and Wegovy aren’t perfect. Here’s why many people are hoping for improved alternatives: - **Side Effects:** Many users experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, especially in the early stages of treatment. Some even stop taking the medication due to severe gastrointestinal discomfort. - **High Cost:** Without insurance coverage, Ozempic and Wegovy can cost over $1,000 per month, making them unaffordable for many. Insurance approval is inconsistent, leaving many patients to pay out of pocket. - **Limited Accessibility:** The overwhelming demand has led to nationwide shortages, leaving even diabetic patients struggling to obtain their prescriptions. - **Weight Regain:** Studies indicate that many people regain weight after stopping the medication, suggesting that long-term use may be necessary—a costly and potentially unsustainable commitment. #### Why Pharma Companies Are Racing to Develop Better Weight Loss Medications Given the massive demand and clear gaps in the effectiveness and accessibility of Ozempic and Wegovy, pharmaceutical companies are investing heavily in developing newer, improved medications. Their goals are the following: - More effective weight loss with fewer side effects. - Better alternatives for patients who don’t respond well to GLP-1 medications. - Medications that work faster or require less frequent dosing. - More affordable and widely available treatments. With several promising drugs in the clinical trial phase, the future of medical weight loss is about to take another major leap forward. #### The Next Generation of Weight Loss Medications: What’s in the Pipeline? With the overwhelming demand for Ozempic and Wegovy, pharmaceutical companies are rushing to develop newer, more advanced weight loss medications. The goal is to create drugs that are more effective, have fewer side effects, and offer improved convenience for long-term weight management. Currently, several promising medications are in clinical trials, with some showing even greater weight loss potential than Ozempic. While many are still undergoing testing, experts predict that the next wave of weight loss drugs could be available within the next two to five years. Let’s take a look at some of the most exciting new weight loss drugs in development. **Popular Brands** When it comes to weight loss, Wegovy is the most recognized brand name for semaglutide, and it is approved specifically for this purpose. Other versions like Ozempic and Rybelsus are primarily approved for diabetes management but are often prescribed off-label for weight loss due to their similar active ingredients. #### When Will These New Weight Loss Medications Be Available? *Weight Loss Results: The Numbers Tell the Story* While some of these medications are still in early-stage trials, others are already in Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials, meaning they could be FDA-approved within the next few years. Here’s a general timeline of what to expect: - **Retatrutide and CagriSema:** Could receive FDA approval by 2025-2026 if clinical trials continue to show positive results. - **Oral GLP-1 Medications (Orfoglipron, Monlunabant, etc.):** Could hit the market by 2026-2027, providing an easier alternative to injections. - **Amylin-Based Medications:** Still in early research stages but could be a major breakthrough in weight management. #### Who Can Benefit from the Next Generation of Weight Loss Drugs? While Ozempic and Wegovy have helped countless individuals lose weight and improve their health, they don’t work for everyone. The upcoming wave of medications may offer better solutions for those who need a more effective, tolerable, or accessible option. Here are the key groups who may benefit the most from these new weight loss drugs: #### Conclusion Ozempic and Wegovy have transformed the weight loss landscape, helping many people lose 10-15% of their body weight. However, they’re not perfect—common side effects, accessibility issues, and high costs have led to demand for better alternatives. Next-generation weight loss medications like Retatrutide, CagriSema, and oral GLP-1 drugs are in development, some showing even greater effectiveness and fewer side effects. If you’ve already tried Ozempic or Wegovy and found it ineffective or difficult to tolerate, it may make sense to keep an eye on upcoming medications that offer alternative mechanisms and fewer side effects. Regardless of which option you’re considering, the best thing you can do is consult with your doctor. Speak with a qualified healthcare provider to explore the best options for your goals and health needs. #### Important Disclaimer: GLP-1 receptor agonist and other incretin-based medications, including semaglutides (such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and CagriSema), tirzepatides (such as Mounjaro® and Zepbound®), and emerging multi-agonist drugs (including Retatrutide, Survodutide, and MariTide), are prescription therapies intended for the management of type 2 diabetes and, in some cases, medically supervised weight loss. These medications are not suitable for everyone and should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider. Potential side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, and reduced appetite. More serious but less common risks—such as pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney impairment, or thyroid tumors—have been reported. Discuss your medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions with your physician before beginning treatment. --- ## Plastic Surgery **Link:** [Plastic Surgery](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/weight-loss-resources/plastic-surgery-procedures-after-losing-weight-with-ozempic-and-wegovy/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/weight-loss-resources/plastic-surgery-procedures-after-losing-weight-with-ozempic-and-wegovy/index.html.md)) **Description:** In this article, we’ll explore the best plastic surgery procedures for post-Ozempic weight loss. - AFTER LOSING WEIGHT WITH GLP-1 MEDICATIONS - ### Content #### The Best Plastic Surgery Procedures After Losing Weight with Ozempic and Wegovy Weight loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have completely changed the game for people struggling with obesity. But while the benefits of these medications are undeniable, rapid weight loss often comes with an unexpected downside: loose, sagging skin. Shedding pounds quickly—especially in large amounts—can leave behind excess skin, impacting confidence, comfort, and even hygiene. So, what can be done? For many, plastic surgery becomes the next step in their transformation journey. Body contouring procedures can help remove excess skin, tighten loose areas, and enhance the results of weight loss, giving patients the final shape they worked so hard for. In this article, we’ll explore the best plastic surgery procedures for post-Ozempic weight loss. #### Why Does Ozempic Weight Loss Lead to Loose Skin? Our skin is designed to stretch and shrink, but it’s not always able to snap back after significant weight loss. When we gain weight, the skin expands to accommodate extra fat. Over time, this stretching can damage the skin’s collagen and elastin fibers, making it harder for the skin to tighten when the fat disappears. With traditional weight loss, a slower reduction in fat gives the skin more time to adjust. However, GLP-1 medications cause rapid weight loss, often outpacing the skin’s ability to retract. This is why many people who lose weight with Ozempic or Wegovy are left with loose, hanging skin—especially after losing 50 pounds or more. #### Who Is More Likely to Experience Loose Skin? Not everyone who loses weight with GLP-1 medications will experience severe sagging. Some people have better skin retraction, while others are left with significant folds of excess skin. Several factors determine how well the skin bounces back after weight loss: - Age - Genetics - How much weight was lost - How fast the weight was lost - Cycles of weight gain and loss #### Muscle Mass Loss and Buttocks Deflation: Another Side Effect In addition to sagging skin, many post-Ozempic patients find that their buttocks look flat or deflated, even if they didn’t expect to lose volume in that area. This can be especially frustrating for those who want a curvier, more balanced shape after weight loss. While some factors—like genetics and age—are out of your control, there are ways to minimize skin sagging and muscle loss during weight loss: - **Strength Training:** Incorporating weightlifting or resistance exercises can help preserve muscle mass and improve body tone. - **Adequate Protein Intake:** Ensuring you eat enough protein-rich foods can prevent excessive muscle loss. - **Collagen Support:** Supplements with collagen, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid may help improve skin elasticity. - **Gradual Tapering of GLP-1 Medications:** Some doctors recommend slowing down the rate of weight loss to give the skin more time to adjust. However, for those who have already lost significant weight and are dealing with sagging skin and muscle loss, plastic surgery may be the best option to restore a firm, contoured appearance. #### Is Plastic Surgery Necessary After Ozempic? Before deciding on body contouring procedures, it’s important to evaluate the extent of your loose skin and how it impacts your overall well-being. Here are the main considerations: #### When Should You Get Plastic Surgery After Losing Weight with Ozempic? Timing matters when it comes to body contouring surgery. Rushing into a procedure too soon can lead to less optimal results or even the need for revision surgery later on. Dr. Agha advises waiting at least 3 months at a steady weight before considering surgery. This stabilization period allows your skin and body to adjust, giving your surgeon a better foundation to work with. #### The Best Plastic Surgery Procedures for Post-Ozempic Weight Loss Below are the best procedures for addressing post-weight-loss skin and body changes. #### Non-Surgical Alternatives: Can You Tighten Skin Without Surgery? Not ready for surgery? There are non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments that may help tighten mildly loose skin: - **RF Microneedling (Radiofrequency Microneedling):** Uses tiny needles and radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin. - **Ultherapy (Ultrasound Skin Tightening):** A non-invasive treatment that boosts collagen and elastin, firming up loose areas over time. - **Laser Skin Tightening:** Uses heat-based technology to gradually improve skin elasticity and tone. - **Collagen-Boosting Injections:** Some fillers and regenerative treatments can add volume and improve skin texture, particularly for facial sagging. These treatments work best for younger patients with good skin elasticity or those with only mild sagging. However, if you have significant excess skin, surgery will likely be the most effective option. Not ready for surgery?

If you’ve tried every diet and workout without seeing results, you’re not alone. Thankfully, there’s a new option on the table: semaglutides. These innovative medications are highly effective for weight loss, offering hope for those who have struggled for years. But is it the right solution for you? In this article, we’ll explore who makes an ideal candidate for semaglutides, giving you the clarity to decide if it’s worth considering on your weight loss journey. #### What are Semaglutides? Semaglutides are medications that belong to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. Developed initially to manage type 2 diabetes, they have gained significant attention for their effectiveness in promoting weight loss. These drugs mimic the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates blood sugar, appetite, and digestion. When administered in higher doses, semaglutides help reduce hunger and promote a feeling of fullness, making them a powerful tool for weight management. #### Who is a Good Candidate for Semaglutides? Semaglutides have emerged as a powerful weight loss option, but they aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Whether you’re considering Wegovy or other forms like Ozempic, knowing if semaglutides are the right choice for you is essential. Here’s a breakdown of the ideal candidates for this medication. #### Who Should Avoid Semaglutides? Some individuals should steer clear of this medication due to specific medical conditions or risks. Here are the key categories of people who should avoid semaglutides. #### What to Expect from Semaglutide Treatment Semaglutide is a weekly injection administered subcutaneously (under the skin) in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Your healthcare provider will show you how to inject it yourself, making it a convenient treatment option for those comfortable with self-administration. The medication comes with instructions, so it’s important to follow these carefully, including proper disposal of needles in a sharps container. #### Ensuring Semaglutide Safety When considering semaglutides as part of a weight loss plan, understanding the safety measures involved can help you feel confident in your choice.

From meal planning to fitting in exercise, traditional weight loss methods require a lot of dedication, and even then, progress can be slow. Good thing there are **semaglutides** — a cutting-edge medication making waves in the world of weight management. In this article, we’ll compare semaglutides to traditional methods to get a clearer picture of what might help you reach your weight loss goals faster and more effectively. #### Exploring Traditional Weight Loss Methods For decades, traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise have been the go-to strategies for those seeking to shed pounds. These approaches are often rooted in simple principles—consume fewer calories, move more, and the weight will come off. While effective for many, the journey isn’t always straightforward. Let’s break down the key components and challenges of these time-tested methods. #### What Are Semaglutides? Semaglutides are a type of medication that initially gained attention for their effectiveness in managing type 2 diabetes. They belong to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic the action of the natural GLP-1 hormone produced in the gut after eating. While semaglutides were first used to help control blood sugar levels in diabetic patients, their impressive impact on appetite regulation has catapulted them into the spotlight for weight loss management. #### Effectiveness of Semaglutides vs Traditional Methods *Weight Loss Results: The Numbers Tell the Story* When it comes to weight loss effectiveness, semaglutides are setting new benchmarks. Clinical trials have shown that individuals using semaglutides, such as Wegovy or Ozempic, can achieve [a reduction of 15-20%](https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2019/0715/p116.html) of their body weight. This is a substantial leap compared to traditional methods like diet and exercise, which often result in more modest weight loss, typically around 2-5% over several months. For those who have struggled to see meaningful progress with lifestyle changes alone, semaglutides offer a faster and more impactful solution. #### Pros and Cons of Semaglutides vs Traditional Methods Below is a quick comparison of the pros and cons of semaglutides versus traditional weight loss methods to help you decide which approach might be best for your journey. *Traditional Weight Loss Methods* *Semaglutides* #### Conclusion When choosing between semaglutides and traditional weight loss methods, weigh the pros and cons based on your personal goals, health status, and lifestyle.

With options like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy gaining popularity, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the choices. What’s the difference between them? And more importantly, which one might be the right fit for your weight loss journey? In this post, we’ll break down the key differences between these medications so you can feel informed and confident in making the best decision for your health and weight loss goals. #### What is Ozempic? Ozempic (semaglutide) is a prescription medication primarily approved to help manage type 2 diabetes. It’s designed to improve blood sugar control and reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Although not specifically FDA-approved for weight loss, many healthcare providers prescribe Ozempic off-label for weight management in overweight or obese patients. #### What is Mounjaro? Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a medication developed by Eli Lilly, primarily approved for managing type 2 diabetes. Like other diabetes medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy, Mounjaro controls blood sugar levels with diet and exercise. However, Mounjaro stands out as the first medication targeting two key hormones in blood sugar regulation—GLP-1 and GIP. While it is currently approved for diabetes, it’s also being used off-label for weight loss, with FDA approval for this use likely on the horizon. #### What is Wegovy? Wegovy (semaglutide) is an FDA-approved medication designed for chronic weight management. While it shares the same active ingredient as Ozempic, Wegovy is targeted at helping individuals with obesity or those with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher with related health conditions such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. Approved in 2021, Wegovy is a go-to for patients seeking long-term weight loss solutions, especially those who haven’t seen results from lifestyle changes alone. Like Ozempic, it’s manufactured by Novo Nordisk, but it’s prescribed primarily for weight loss rather than diabetes management. #### Key Differences Between Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy When deciding between weight loss medications, it’s essential to understand the key differences between Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy. While all three help regulate blood sugar and promote weight loss, they have distinct mechanisms, FDA approvals, and dosing schedules. #### Check out this table that summarizes the differences among these three drugs: #### Which Medication is Right for You? There's no one-size-fits-all answer when choosing between Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy. Each medication has strengths, and the right choice depends on your health status, weight loss goals, and lifestyle needs. Let’s break down these factors further so you can make an informed decision. #### Important Disclaimer GLP-1 receptor agonist medications, including semaglutides (such as Ozempic® and Wegovy®) and tirzepatides (such as Mounjaro®), are prescription drugs intended for the management of type 2 diabetes and, in some cases, weight loss under medical supervision. These medications are not suitable for everyone and should only be used as prescribed by a qualified healthcare provider. Potential side effects of GLP-1 medications may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and reduced appetite. More serious risks, such as pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney issues, and thyroid tumors, have been reported in some cases. It is essential to discuss your medical history and any pre-existing conditions with your doctor before starting treatment.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING TREATMENT ### Content For most patients, the unfamiliar part of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is not breathing oxygen; it is experiencing a controlled change in atmospheric pressure. The sensation is often compared with changes in cabin pressure during airplane travel, particularly as the chamber gradually pressurizes and the ears adjust. At The One Plastic Surgery, treatment takes place in a medical-grade hyperbaric chamber that can reach up to 2.0 ATA and accommodate up to two people. Sessions are designed to be comfortable and closely supervised, with treatment timing and pressure selected according to the patient’s goals, health history, and clinical recommendation. A typical session is straightforward. You enter the chamber, get comfortable, and the pressure is increased gradually. During this phase, you may notice fullness or popping in the ears as they adjust to the changing pressure. Once the prescribed pressure is reached, there is usually very little to do other than relax while the treatment continues. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy sessions at The One Plastic Surgery generally last 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment plan. Surgical patients are often encouraged to consider the longer end of that range when recommended by Dr. Agha, Chelsea Zisek, PA-C, or the clinical team. #### Before Your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Session Before treatment, the clinical team reviews your health history and any factors that could affect your ability to safely tolerate pressure changes. Patients should tell the team about ear or sinus problems, congestion, recent respiratory illness, lung disease, a history of pneumothorax, recent ear or chest surgery, severe claustrophobia, seizure history, neurological conditions, diabetes, implanted medical devices, medication changes, or any new medical concern. Preparation and safety rules can vary by device. Before treatment, patients should follow the chamber-specific directions provided by The One Plastic Surgery, including instructions about personal items and anything that should remain outside the chamber. The FDA specifically advises facilities to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and prohibited items. #### Pressurization *Why Your Ears May Pop* As chamber pressure increases, the air pressure outside the eardrum changes faster than the pressure in the middle ear. The sensation can feel similar to an airplane descending. Most people equalize the pressure by opening the Eustachian tubes, but some patients do this more easily than others. Our team may recommend chewing gum, swallowing, yawning, or other equalization techniques during pressurization. If you already know that your ears are sensitive, you have trouble “popping” your ears on airplanes, you have experienced ear pain with diving or altitude changes, or you have a history of ear barotrauma or recent ear surgery, tell the clinical team before treatment. Middle-ear barotrauma is one of the most common pressure-related adverse effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and studies have linked difficulty equalizing with greater risk. **IMPORTANT:** If you feel significant ear pain, pressure, dizziness, or other meaningful discomfort while the chamber is pressurizing, alert our staff immediately. Pressurization can be slowed or paused while the team helps you equalize and determines whether it is appropriate to continue. #### Can the Pressure Be Adjusted for Sensitive Ears? Patients with sensitive ears or a history of difficulty equalizing pressure should let our team know before treatment. The treatment pressure itself is selected according to the clinical plan, but the chamber can often be **pressurized more slowly or temporarily paused** if you are having trouble adjusting. Our team can also guide you through simple techniques such as swallowing, yawning, or chewing gum to help relieve ear pressure. If you experience significant ear pain or discomfort while the chamber is pressurizing, **tell our staff immediately** so they can determine the safest way to proceed. #### Who Should Avoid or Use Extra Caution With Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy? #### Other Potential Risks and Side Effects Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is generally well tolerated when patients are appropriately screened and treatment is performed with trained supervision, but it is not risk-free. Potential complications include ear or sinus barotrauma, pulmonary barotrauma, temporary vision changes after repeated exposures, claustrophobia, dizziness or fatigue, and rare oxygen-toxicity seizures. Oxygen-rich environments also require strict fire-safety procedures. The FDA’s 2025 safety communication emphasizes manufacturer instructions, proper staff training, patient monitoring and supervision, equipment maintenance, safety checks, and fire prevention.

But that's not all… POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY ### Content Welcome to The One Plastic Surgery Center, a practice created by Dr. Siamak Agha, MD PhD FACS, focusing on extreme makeovers, body contouring, and body lift surgery. Dr. Agha, a graduate of the world-renown Cambridge University Medical School, completed a 6-year residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, before joining the creator of the total body lift, Dr. Dennis Hurwitz, for several years. During his time, Dr. Agha perfected the art of body contouring and body lift surgery, and co-pioneered multiple techniques with Drs. Hurwitz and Rubin in Pittsburgh and performed over 75 body lifts. As a result of his contributions to this young, emerging plastic surgery field, Dr. Agha was invited for five consecutive years to the annual meeting of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons to teach other plastic surgeons as an expert in the field of body contouring and plastic surgery after weight loss. Since 2008, Dr. Agha has been developing a center dedicated to body contouring and body lift surgery in Southern California. Dr. Agha now dedicates about 50% of his practice to these complex procedures and extremely rewarding group of patients. Dr. Siamak Agha has been at the forefront of plastic surgery after weight loss and is considered a global expert in this field. Since 2002, Dr. Agha has been performing post-bariatric plastic surgery and has operated on several thousand weight loss patients. #### Experience According to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), most plastic surgeons perform 1-2 body lift procedures per year. This is known as the practice profile of the average plastic surgeon. This is the number of procedures that a board certified plastic surgeon performs in a typical year, showing the average number of procedures a board certified plastic surgeon performs in during a typical year. As illustrated by Dr. Agha’s practice profile below, he performs one of the highest numbers of body lift surgeries in the country, if not, the world. The data is annually gathered by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons and displayed on their site. While most plastic surgeons perform about 40-50 body lifts in their life times, Dr. Agha has already performed over 500 body lifts in the past 15 years. This may be one of the highest numbers of body lifts performed by a single plastic surgeon globally. With his extensive training and experience in the field of plastic surgery after weight loss, Dr. Agha is a solid contributor to the innovations made in this arena. He has contributed and /or developed specific plastic surgery after weight loss procedures such as the Internal Dermal Bra Breast Lift, Spiral thigh lift, J-upper body lift, buttock augmentation-reshaping and lift, calf reduction, and his signature high-definition body lift. It is the creation of these novel procedures that has made Dr. Agha an international speaker and lectures in many meetings. #### Innovations Body lift surgeries are a series of complex plastic surgery procedures that are best undertaken by a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in plastic surgery after weight loss or extreme body contouring. Since the demand for these types of surgeries is increasing, both American Society of Plastic Surgeons and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) hold many courses and seminars to educate plastic surgeons about post-bariatric surgery. Dr. Siamak Agha has been an invited course instructor to many of these national and international meetings, teaching techniques that he developed by himself or with other plastic surgeons. These include: - Dr. Agha’s pioneered High-definition Body Lift - Internal Dermal Bra Breast Lift- co-pioneered with Dr. J. Rubin - J-Thoracoplasty – co-pioneered with Dr. Dennis Hurwitz - Spiral thigh lift – co-pioneered with Dr. Dennis Hurwitz - Spiral flap breast augmentation- co-pioneered with Dr. Dennis Hurwitz - Buttocks augmentation-reshaping- Pioneered by Dr. Agha Furthermore Dr. Agha brought to light the importance of nutritional deficiency of the bariatric patients and the impact of these nutritional deficiencies on body contouring surgery in 2008 and 2009 by publishing articles about these topics in Plastic Surgery Journals. He further went ahead and looked at the impact of nutritional supplementation on his body lift patients and compared patient’s complication rates before and after nutritional supplementation with the national data. He then published a guideline on Enhanced Recovery after body contouring surgery for surgeons to implement on their patients(Enhanced recovery after body-contouring surgery: reducing surgical complication rates by optimizing nutrition (2010). Agha-Mohammadi S, Hurwitz DJ. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 34(5):617-25). #### Team Approach Since 2009, Dr. Agha has devoted a significant portion of his time to developing a practice on Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss. This means acquiring talents that can cater to the bigger and more complex surgeries. Part of this equation had to start at the surgery center. Whereas in hospitals, you work with different members of the surgical teams on daily basis, Dr. Agha wanted the same people and the same set up on every surgery. With other surgeons, he built an ambulatory surgery center so that he can direct every aspect of the center and cater to his surgeries. Furthermore, for the past 10 years, he has trained every member of his team. This means that his surgical nurse, surgical tech, physician assistant, and anesthesiologist have done hundreds of body lifts with him and each member knows the high standard that is expected from them. Together they work efficiently to complete each patient’s surgery safely and meticulously. #### Credentials Dr. Agha is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Choosing an **ASPS Member Surgeon** ensures that you have selected a physician who: - Has completed at least five years of surgical training with a minimum of two years in plastic surgery. - Is trained and experienced in all plastic surgery procedures, including face, breast, body, and reconstruction. - Operates only in accredited medical facilities. - Adheres to a strict code of ethics. - Fulfills continuing medical education requirements, including standards and innovations in patient safety. - Is board certified by The **American Board of Plastic Surgery**, the only Plastic Surgery Board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.

FOR LONGEVITY AND ANTI-AGING ### Content #### The Goal Isn’t Just More Years. It’s Better Years. Longevity has moved from a niche scientific topic into mainstream wellness. But for most people, simply adding years to life is not the real goal. **The more meaningful goal is preserving energy, mobility, strength, cognitive performance, skin and tissue quality, and overall independence for as many of those years as possible.** This idea is often described as **healthspan**, meaning the portion of life spent in good health and with a high level of physical and mental function. In other words, longevity is not only about how long you live, but **how well you live during those years**. That growing interest has created an entire longevity and biohacking movement. People are exploring approaches ranging from **peptide therapies and NAD+ support to NAC, glutathione, metabolic optimization, nutritional strategies, and other treatments designed to support how the body functions as it ages.** Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has become part of that conversation because human studies have reported measurable changes in several biological processes associated with aging after intensive, repeated treatment protocols. “Anti-aging” remains the language many people use, even though no treatment literally stops chronological aging. Researchers instead look at whether an intervention can influence **biological aging and specific changes that occur within the body over time**. One example is **cellular senescence**. As some cells age or become damaged, they stop dividing and functioning normally but remain in the body. These older, dysfunctional cells can release signals that contribute to inflammation and changes in surrounding tissues. Researchers sometimes refer to them as **senescent cells**, and reducing their accumulation has become an important area of longevity research. Scientists are also studying changes in telomeres, blood-vessel health, brain function, tissue quality, metabolism, and other measurable signs associated with aging. It is within this broader search for **longer healthspan, greater resilience, and better function later in life** that the research into Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy becomes particularly interesting. #### Why Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Becoming Part of the Longevity Conversation? Repeated Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy exposes the body to short periods of very high oxygen, followed by a return to normal oxygen levels. Interestingly, the body can respond to these repeated changes almost as if it needs to adapt to temporary oxygen stress. Researchers call this the [hyperoxic-hypoxic paradox](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32630465/). That response may activate several of the body’s repair and adaptation systems. Research has associated it with **the growth of new blood vessels, changes in how cells produce energy, the release of stem cells involved in tissue repair, and other processes that help the body respond to stress and recover**. These effects do not mean Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been proven to make people live longer. They do help explain why it has become increasingly interesting to longevity researchers. Rather than looking only at lifespan, scientists are studying whether repeated Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can influence **measurable features of biological aging, tissue health, brain function, and the body’s ability to repair and adapt over time**. #### Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy a Form of Biohacking? In consumer language, it can reasonably be discussed as part of biohacking: using measurable interventions to influence performance, recovery, or biological function. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is more medically grounded than many wellness trends because pressure and oxygen exposure create well-described physiologic effects, but elective longevity use still differs from treating an established medical indication. For people interested in biohacking, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy offers something more concrete than many wellness trends: a controlled treatment that changes oxygen availability and triggers measurable responses in the body. Its potential applications in longevity, recovery, brain function, and physical performance are still being studied, but there is already human research behind several of these areas. #### Understanding Biological Aging and Longevity --- ## Ethnic Rhinoplasty **Link:** [Ethnic Rhinoplasty](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/ethnic-rhinoplasty-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/ethnic-rhinoplasty-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Ethnic rhinoplasty is designed to provide functional and/or cosmetic benefits to the nose while preserving the patient's genealogical nose structure. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Heritage Meets Harmony *Newport Beach Ethnic Rhinoplasty at The One Plastic Surgery Center* Rhinoplasty (nose job) is one of the oldest continuously practiced cosmetic surgery practices, performed all over the globe for hundreds of years. Ethnic rhinoplasty honors that history by taking the unique heritage of the patient into consideration during surgery, sculpting beautiful results that feel and look natural. At The One Plastic Surgery Center, we understand the importance of preserving your unique ethnic features while achieving your desired cosmetic surgery results. Dr. Ali Razfar, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive expertise in revision rhinoplasty and ethnic rhinoplasty procedures, takes ethnic rhinoplasty to a new level. Dr. Razfar's meticulous approach and extensive experience ensure beautiful, natural-looking outcomes that celebrate your heritage. Learn more about these various types of ethnic rhinoplasty as you read the rest of this article. #### Honoring Your Beauty *What is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?* In the USA, traditional [rhinoplasty](/rhinoplasty-newport-beach/) techniques originated from experience with Caucasian rhinoplasty patients. But non-Caucasians have noses with distinct features that should be retained and respected when doing a nose job. Ethnic rhinoplasty, or the “ethnic nose job,” was born from the need of non-Caucasians to alter their noses while preserving their unique nasal features. It is further subdivided into different ethnicities: Middle Eastern, Hispanic, and Asian. #### Middle Eastern or Persian Rhinoplasty Designed for patients of Middle Eastern or Persian (Iranian) descent, Middle Eastern rhinoplasty is a major subcategory of ethnic rhinoplasty. After all, Iran is considered the nose job capital of the world. Traditionally, many Persian patients have undergone a very aggressive form of rhinoplasty that focuses on drastically reducing the nose’s size at the expense of function. Their main goal was to create the smallest, cutest nose possible. In reality, this resulted in a poorly functioning nose that looked “operated.” Simply put, the nose did not fit the face, disrupting facial harmony. Because of this, the volume of Persian patients seeking revision rhinoplasty has increased substantially. Most Middle Eastern patients want a significant change in their appearance when they undergo rhinoplasty while still having a natural result. They are proud of their ethnic features and wish to maintain them after surgery. Still, others prefer a more drastic change. While the Middle Eastern nose shape can have diverse characteristics, they have some standard features, like: - a large dorsal hump - a droopy, bulbous tip - a nose that is out of balance with the rest of the face - a thick nasal skin that presents unique challenges As a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Razfar’s experience with this particular class of rhinoplasty sets him apart in producing beautiful and natural results. He is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in Persian Rhinoplasty and who understands the complexity of these cases. He has perfected his skillset with the top Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty experts in the world. With many Persian patients having varying ideas of what a perfect nose is, they often wish to actively participate in creating the ethnic nose job plan with the surgeon. Dr. Razfar encourages open and honest communication with his patients, taking the time to develop a customized surgical plan to help them achieve their goals. #### Hispanic Rhinoplasty This subcategory of ethnic rhinoplasty is performed on patients with Latino heritage. These include patients from Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Spain, and Portugal. Hispanic rhinoplasty applies to a diverse group of patients with unique facial features depending on their country of origin. When performing rhinoplasty on these patients, it is essential to understand each patient’s unique ethnic and cultural background. Plus, the surgeon must also acknowledge that each patient may have a unique perspective on what they consider the ideal nose. Nasal features in the Hispanic patient are those of mixed race origin. As a result, the Hispanic nose has a broad spectrum of characteristics, the most common of which include: - a very weak cartilaginous and bony support with thick skin - ill-defined and droopy nasal tips with poor support Most Latina patients wish to have a more defined nose in harmony with the rest of their facial features. That is why classic reductive rhinoplasty — commonly used on Caucasian patients — will not produce their desired results. Instead, a structural approach to ethnic rhinoplasty with minimal tissue excision is of paramount importance for achieving a beautiful outcome. We can further divide the Hispanic nose into the following subcategories: #### Asian Rhinoplasty The Asian nose job is a subcategory of ethnic rhinoplasty for patients of Asian descent, including Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos, among others. Asian noses have some common characteristics, including: - a low bridge - an under projected and flat-tip - a thick skin - wide nostrils - a very poor nasal tip support - an insufficient septal cartilage While the Caucasian nose typically requires a reductive type of rhinoplasty, the Asian nose must be augmented to give a more refined appearance. #### Tailored Techniques for Optimal Results *Your Ethnic Rhinoplasty Procedure* The ethnic rhinoplasty plastic surgery procedure can be performed using two main approaches, each lasting 3-4 hours under general anesthesia: #### Caring for Your New Look *Ethnic Rhinoplasty Results* Ethnic rhinoplasty results gradually appear as swelling subsides. Most patients will have minimal bruising and minor discomfort for the first week, with most swelling resolving within three months. You'll likely return to work and social activities in seven to ten days. - Minimize downtime: Avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks. - Prioritize rest: Elevate your head while sleeping for optimal healing. - Gentle healing: Follow Dr. Razfar's instructions for incision care to minimize scarring. - Long-lasting results: Ethnic rhinoplasty results are typically permanent, but sun protection helps maintain their beauty. Embrace your confidence, one beautiful breath at a time. #### Plan for Rest *Ethnic Rhinoplasty Recovery and Aftercare* - It is recommended to take one to two weeks off work and social activities to focus on healing. - Expect some swelling, bruising, and congestion in the first few weeks following rhinoplasty surgery. - Bruising usually fades within three weeks, while nasal stuffiness can last up to three months. - Most swelling subsides by three months, but your final nasal shape may take a full year to emerge. Optimize Healing with Aftercare: - Follow Dr. Razfar's aftercare instructions carefully. This may include: - Avoiding smoking - Avoiding contact sports - Avoiding eyeglasses until your nose heals - Avoiding physical exertion until cleared by Dr. Razfar By following these tips, you can help ensure a smooth and successful recovery after ethnic rhinoplasty. #### Your Dream Nose Awaits *Your Ethnic Rhinoplasty Consultation* Considering ethnic rhinoplasty surgery in Newport Beach?

It can’t get rid of stubborn fat pockets in various problem areas of your body, such as your upper arms, hips, thighs, and tummy, leaving many people frustrated. Fat distribution is determined by genetic factors and not everyone is lucky enough to have [the body shape](/body-shape-post-bariatric/) they would like. It’s also important to remember that exercising and diets can lead to fat loss in areas that can benefit from the volume, such as face, buttocks and thighs, and can also lead to crepey texture or sagging skin in specific body areas. And while the most effective way to getting rid of these fatty deposits and sculpt the body involves liposuction, it’s not for everyone. Many people are reluctant to undergo invasive body sculpting surgery to achieve their dream body. But don’t fret because you can still eliminate your unwanted fats even if you’re scared to go under the knife. You can enjoy the results of liposuction and other fat reduction treatments without surgery through a process called CoolSculpting. #### How Does CoolSculpting Work? Since CoolSculpting does not involve knives or needles, most patients don’t even need anesthesia or pain medications. But for people with low pain tolerance, your doctor may apply topical anesthetic after cleansing the target area. A cooling gel is then applied to the surface of your target area, with the applicator placed on the skin. Your doctor then turns on the CoolSculpting device, which vacuums and freezes your fat cells. At first, you may feel an intense coolness in your treatment area, but it will dissipate within the first 5-10 minutes of the procedure. The whole session lasts for about an hour. #### CoolSculpting Treatment Areas - **Abdomen:** This is one of the most popular treatment areas for CoolSculpting. It can help reduce belly fat and achieve a flatter stomach. - **Flanks/Love Handles:** The sides of the waist, commonly referred to as love handles or muffin tops, can be treated to contour the midsection and improve overall body shape. - **Thighs: **The inner, outer and distal thighs can be targeted with CoolSculpting to reduce excess fat and achieve a more sculpted appearance. - **Double Chin:** CoolSculpting can be used to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin, and create a more defined jawline. - **Upper Arms:** The upper arms, often a concern for individuals with excess fat or loose skin, can be treated to improve their shape and tone. - **Back and Bra Fat:** CoolSculpting can address fat deposits on the upper and lower back, as well as the areas around the bra line. - **Underneath the Buttocks:** This area, sometimes called the “banana roll,” can be treated with CoolSculpting to contour the lower buttock area. #### Orange County’s Largest CoolSculpting Practice #### "Best CoolSculpter on the planet" *Practice CoolSculpting Reviews* --- ## Sculptra Injection **Link:** [Sculptra Injection](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/sculptra-injection-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/sculptra-injection-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Chelsea Zysek MS PA-C received her Bachelor of Science from Hofstra University in 2012.

Sculptra is different from hyaluronic acid fillers because it helps treat an underlying cause of facial volume loss — the reduction of collagen. It works deep within the skin’s surface and is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body to help stimulate collagen production, reinforcing the skin’s inner structure #### Sculptra – Treatment Areas Sculptra is a key to unlocking a more youthful-looking appearance because it helps restore facial volume to: - temples - cheeks - jawline - chin and improve the look of: - the nasolabial folds (smile lines); - marionette lines; - pre-auricular wrinkles (the vertical wrinkles in front of the ears); - radial cheek folds (vertical wrinkles on the lower cheek); - chin wrinkles. #### Sculptra Before & After Photos *After photos were taken between 24 and 27 weeks after first treatment.* #### Sculptra Treatment Session *How often are Sculptra treatments given and how many treatments are required?* We should see you at approximately 4-6 weeks after each treatment session to assess whether you need additional treatment. You may need two to four treatment sessions (typically three) to achieve the optimal correction possible. **What can I expect to happen at a treatment session?** We will answer all of your questions and ask about your medical history to determine if Sculptra injection is appropriate for you. Tell us about all the medicines you are taking, even over the counter medicines or treatments. - To prepare for an injection session, all make-up should be removed. - An injection grid will be decided for each facial wrinkle that is candidate for this treatment and the area to be injected will be cleaned with an antiseptic. - Sculptra will be injected in multiple small amounts into or under the skin using a fine needle in grid pattern. - After injection, the treated area should be massaged to distribute the product evenly. - An ice pack should be applied to the treatment area to help reduce swelling unless otherwise directed. #### Am I a Good Candidate? Sculptra is intended for use in people with healthy immune systems. Sculptra is injected in or under the facial skin through a small needle for correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles. You should not get Sculptra if you: - Have severe allergies with a history of severe reactions (anaphylaxis) or multiple severe allergies. Use of Sculptra may result in an allergic reaction. - Are allergic to any ingredient of Sculptra: “poly-L-lactic acid” (PLLA), carboxymethylcellulose (USP) or non-pyrogenic mannitol (USP). - Previously had or have risks factors for hypertrophic scarring or keloid formation. #### Sculptra *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## How to Prepare for a Neck Lift in Newport Beach **Link:** [How to Prepare for a Neck Lift in Newport Beach](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/how-to-prepare-for-a-neck-lift-in-newport-beach/) ([md](https://theoneplasticsurgery.com/how-to-prepare-for-a-neck-lift-in-newport-beach/index.html.md)) **Description:** Learn how to prepare for your neck lift with Dr. Siamak Agha at The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach.

Discover how The One Plastic Surgery Center can guide you toward body confidence. NEWPORT BEACH, CA ### Content #### Refining Your Image *Newport Beach Liposuction for Men at The Aesthetic Center* In recent years, cosmetic procedures for men have become increasingly popular as more men seek ways to refine their physique and maintain a confident, athletic appearance. While consistent exercise and a balanced diet remain the foundation of physical fitness, some areas of the body can hold onto stubborn fat deposits that resist even the most disciplined workout routines. For many men, these areas include the abdomen, flanks, chest, and under the chin. Even individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle may struggle with localized fat that prevents them from achieving the lean, sculpted body shape they desire. Liposuction for men is designed to address these concerns by removing excess fat and refining the natural contours of the body. Unlike weight-loss procedures, liposuction focuses on body sculpting. The goal is to enhance masculine proportions by eliminating stubborn fat deposits that obscure muscle definition and natural body lines. [.divider-lines]**A well-defined masculine physique is often characterized by broad shoulders, a narrower waist, and a strong, sculpted torso. This shape is commonly referred to as the “V-shape” — a classic hallmark of masculine aesthetics. However, even with dedicated strength training, fat accumulation in the flanks or lower abdomen can soften this shape and make it difficult to achieve the desired contour.**[] Liposuction allows surgeons to precisely sculpt these areas, helping reveal the natural muscle definition underneath. In addition to the abdomen and flanks, liposuction can also improve areas such as the chest, neck, and jawline, enhancing the overall masculine appearance. At The One Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, liposuction for men is performed using advanced techniques designed to deliver natural-looking, refined results. By targeting stubborn fat deposits and enhancing natural contours, men can achieve a more athletic and balanced physique that complements their fitness goals. Beyond physical appearance, many patients find that improving body contours boosts confidence and motivation to maintain a healthy lifestyle.physique beneath. #### Why Choose Dr. Agha Your Male Liposuction Achieving refined body contours through liposuction requires more than simply removing fat. It involves strategic sculpting that enhances the natural structure of the male physique. Dr. Siamak Agha approaches male liposuction with a detailed understanding of how fat distribution, muscle definition, and body proportions work together to create an athletic appearance. By carefully contouring areas such as the abdomen, flanks, chest, and neck, he focuses on revealing natural definition while maintaining smooth, balanced results. Patients who visit The One Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach often seek subtle yet impactful improvements to their body shape. Dr. Agha designs each treatment plan around the individual patient’s anatomy and lifestyle goals, ensuring that the outcome complements the body rather than appearing artificial or overdone. His combination of surgical precision and aesthetic judgment allows patients to achieve a leaner, more sculpted physique while preserving natural masculine proportions. #### Reframing Masculinity *What is liposuction for men?* Liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. For men, liposuction is commonly used to refine body contours and enhance muscular definition. Unlike weight-loss treatments, liposuction focuses on reshaping specific areas of the body to create a more balanced and proportionate appearance. The procedure uses specialized instruments to break up and remove fat cells beneath the skin while preserving surrounding tissues. At The One Plastic Surgery Center, advanced liposuction techniques allow surgeons to carefully sculpt areas that contribute to masculine body proportions. Common treatment areas include: - **Abdomen:** Removes stubborn belly fat and improves abdominal definition. - **Flanks (Love Handles):** Reduces fat around the waistline to create a narrower waist and more defined torso. - **Chest (Gynecomastia): **Treats enlarged male breasts to restore a flatter, more masculine chest contour. - **Chin and Neck: **Refines the jawline by removing excess fat and improving facial definition. By strategically removing fat from these areas, liposuction can significantly enhance body proportions and reveal underlying muscle structure. For many men, liposuction serves as a complement to regular exercise and healthy lifestyle habits rather than a substitute for them. When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, the procedure can produce long-lasting improvements in body shape and definition. #### Achieve a Defined Physique *What are the benefits of liposuction?* Liposuction provides several aesthetic benefits for men who want to refine their body contours and enhance their physical appearance. One of the primary benefits of liposuction is its ability to target stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. By removing these fat cells, the procedure creates smoother, more defined body contours. Liposuction can also enhance natural muscle definition. By reducing fat around the abdomen and waistline, the underlying muscle structure becomes more visible, helping create the appearance of a leaner and more athletic physique. Other benefits include: - Improved body proportions - More defined abdominal and waist contours - Reduction of love handles and excess chest fat - Enhanced jawline definition - Long-lasting body contouring results When combined with a healthy lifestyle, liposuction results can remain stable for many years. **Am I a good candidate for liposuction?** Men who are near their ideal body weight but struggle with localized fat deposits are typically good candidates for liposuction. Ideal candidates generally: - Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise - Have areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to diet or workouts • Have good skin elasticity - Are in overall good health - Have realistic expectations regarding results During your consultation at The One Plastic Surgery, your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy, medical history, and aesthetic goals to determine whether liposuction is the right treatment option for you. #### The One Plastic Surgery Center Difference *Your Liposuction for Men Consultation* A consultation is the first step toward achieving a more sculpted and confident appearance. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate the areas of concern. This process helps determine which areas of the body will benefit most from liposuction and how the procedure can best enhance your overall physique. At The One Plastic Surgery Center, every treatment plan is customized based on the patient’s anatomy and desired results. This personalized approach helps ensure that liposuction enhances masculine body proportions while maintaining natural-looking results. Patients will also have the opportunity to ask questions, review potential outcomes, and receive detailed information about the procedure and recovery process. #### Sculpting with Precision #### Comfort & Support Every Step of the Way *Liposuction for Men Recovery and Aftercare* Following your liposuction procedure, our team will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Indeed, having clear skin without scars and visible pores is an asset not everyone is lucky to have. Sometimes, no matter how religiously you wash your face and apply all sorts of moisturizer, zits still pop up, wrinkles come out of nowhere, and dark sunspots suddenly appear. Don’t give up on your quest for clear skin, even if these skin problems plague you. Thanks to CO2 laser skin resurfacing, you can still peel off your damaged skin and achieve healthy skin that you can flaunt with confidence. Continue reading to learn more about how laser skin resurfacing can help you. #### What is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing? If you want to improve your skin texture and appearance, then CO2 laser skin resurfacing is the treatment for you. Performed by a licensed dermatologist or plastic surgeon, CO2 laser skin resurfacing uses carbon dioxide to remove your damaged epidermis, the skin’s outermost layer. It is a type of ablative treatment, meaning it removes the topmost skin layer. Compared to erbium lasers, CO2 laser can penetrate the skin more deeply, thus heating the dermis — the skin’s deeper layer — to stimulate collagen production. Collagen replaces your damaged skin with new skin that’s smoother and firmer to touch. At The One Plastic Surgery Center, we use CO2RE by Syneron Candela to administer fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing. It uses two types of laser beams that simultaneously penetrate the skin at different depths. With seven treatment modes all made to solve a variety of skin issues, CO2RE has settings that can be customized to suit your individual needs in terms of laser strength, pulse duration, penetration depth, treatment density, and treatment pattern. You only need one session to enjoy dramatic results. Some of the skin issues that CO2RE improves include skin tone and texture, age spots, sun-damaged skin, facial scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. #### How is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Done? Before the actual procedure, our physician assistant cleans the skin to remove excess oil, bacteria, and dirt. He applies a topical anesthetic to your treatment area to reduce the pain and increase your comfort. For bigger or deeper treatment areas, you may need to have sedatives or anesthesia. Once the skin is prepped, our physician assistant slowly applies the CO2RE laser over the treatment area. The laser beam destroys the epidermis and heats the dermis to stimulate collagen production over time, leading to better skin texture and tone. Depending on the technique used and the size of the area treated, CO2RE can take between 30 minutes and one hour. After the treatment, our physician assistant applies a soothing serum or ointment over the treated area. He also wraps it in bandages to protect the skin. #### How Should You Recover from CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing? Laser resurfacing is done as an outpatient procedure in your healthcare provider’s clinic. In general, the bigger the treatment area, the longer your recovery time is. Ablative treatments like CO2 laser skin resurfacing can take two to three full weeks to heal. Here are some things you need to remember during your skin resurfacing recovery: - Expect your skin to be **red** and to have **scabs** all over. **Slight peeling** may also occur during the first two weeks post-treatment. - Use **ice packs and pain relievers** to reduce swelling and soreness. - Avoid using **cosmetics** for the first two weeks. - **Avoid places and activities that increase your risk of infection**, such as going to the gym and swimming for two weeks. - Use a **saline or vinegar-based solution** to clean the treated area two to five times a day. Dr. Agha will recommend the appropriate products for you. - Always use **fresh dressings** to keep your treated area clean. - Dr. Agha will also recommend a **daily moisturizer** to help with the healing process. - Always **wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30** to reduce your risk of sun damage. Your skin may be sensitive to the sun up to one year after your skin resurfacing with CO2 laser. #### CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Get Your Skin Resurfacing *with CO2 Laser Done in Orange County & Los Angeles* Make sure that you get your laser skin resurfacing in the hands of a trained, experienced, and knowledgeable professional, who can safely and dramatically improve your skin’s appearance with laser skin resurfacing using the revolutionary CO2RE by Syneron Candela.

Dubbed the bestselling treatment of its kind in the world, Botox comprises 80 percent of the botulinum toxin injection market—a testament to the trusted and effective treatment of neuromodulators. #### Effortless Elegance *What are the benefits of Botox?* Neurotoxin treatments offer various benefits, including: - Diminished appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, yielding a youthful appearance - Prevention of new wrinkle formation and worsening of existing ones - Minimally invasive, nonsurgical approach - Swift treatment sessions - No downtime or recovery period required - Cost-effective alternative to plastic surgery Ideal candidates for these treatments at The One Plastic Surgery Center include individuals seeking to address crow's feet, frown lines, or forehead creases. These procedures are particularly beneficial for those with pronounced glabellar lines ("11" lines between the eyes), contributing to a tired or aged look. Additionally, neurotoxin treatments like Dysport, Daxxify, and BOTOX are increasingly popular among younger adults as preventive measures against dynamic lines, even before visible signs of aging emerge. #### A Shot of Beauty *What is Botox?* Botox is short for botulinum toxin, a toxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. But in its isolated form, Botox strains A and B are popularly used as anti-aging treatments. Its ability to temporarily paralyze muscles can help reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. It can even treat other medical conditions, like spasticity, eye twitch, migraine, TMJ, and overactive bladder. Despite being a toxin, Botox injections are considered safe, with only mild adverse effects. #### Get Your Botox Injections at The One Plastic Surgery Center *Your Botox Consultation* As you get older, you start to develop wrinkles and fine lines that you’d rather not have on your face: forehead lines, frown lines, laugh lines, crow’s feet, and marionette lines. Despite taking great pains to take care of your skin, the appearance of all these wrinkles is inevitable. You may not be able to stop the hands of time, but that doesn’t mean you should live with the signs of aging etched all over your face. That is why Botox treatments have become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world. More than 7.7 million people had Botox injections in the US in 2019 alone, and the numbers keep rising year after year. Dr. Siamak Agha, one of the top plastic surgeons in Southern California, offers Botox injections at The One Plastic Surgery Center as a suitable alternative to surgical treatments. If you’re interested in learning about Botox and how it can help you erase your wrinkles and solve other medical conditions, schedule your Botox consultation at The Aesthetic Center in Newport Beach, CA. #### How Does Botox Work? *Your Botox Procedure* Botox temporarily paralyzes your muscles to eliminate deep-seated wrinkles. It is best for dynamic wrinkles, such as smile lines and crow’s feet, which appear when you move your face. Once your muscle is injected with Botox, the botulinum toxin binds with your nerve terminals, preventing the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This causes muscle activity to stop, which, in turn, halts muscle spasms and smooths out your wrinkles. As such, it is normal to experience weakness in the surrounding muscles where Botox was injected. Botox also prevents the release of substances that cause pain and inflammation, which is why it can treat migraine headaches. The results of Botox injections are instantaneous. However, its effects wear off over time, as the nerve endings regenerate after 120 days. If you want to maintain your Botox results, you might need to get frequent treatments every three to four months for the same spots. #### How are Botox Injections Used at The Aesthetic Center? Though famous as a wrinkle treatment, Botox injections can actually help relieve other medical conditions. Here is a quick rundown of all the ways that you can use Botox injections. #### Follow These Guidelines *Botox Recovery and Aftercare* Recovery from Botox injections is typically swift, with minimal downtime. Patients may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually subsides within a few hours to days. During the first 24 hours post-treatment, it's advisable to avoid strenuous activities, alcohol consumption, and excessive sun exposure. Gentle facial cleansing and the application of ice packs can help alleviate any discomfort. It's crucial to follow the post-care instructions provided by your provider to ensure optimal results. #### The Impact of Botox *Botox Results* Noticeable improvements start appearing within three to seven days post-treatment, with full results emerging in about two weeks. To sustain the results, periodic touch-up sessions are recommended every three to four months. #### Botox *Frequently Asked Questions* #### Botox vs. Other Less Expensive Neurotoxins: What’s the Difference? Botox is a brand of botulinum toxin licensed and branded by Allergan. Other similar products include Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin. Although these formulations have botulinum toxin type A as their active ingredient, they are dosed differently. Some also feature protein blends, affecting the effectiveness of the injection. In other words, they are not interchangeable. According to a [2018 survey](https://www.botoxcosmetic.com/what-is-botox-cosmetic/about-botox-cosmetic-treatment), people prefer Botox over other neurotoxins because it’s a brand they trust, and it produces predictable yet subtle results. It is also the only treatment of its kind evaluated by the FDA for safety and efficacy in three different treatment areas — frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Botox’s effectiveness is backed by over 16 years of published studies, which is a whole lot more compared to other neurotoxins in the market.
