We all procrastinate to some degree – and it’s sometimes a good thing to put off doing something if the time isn’t right. On the other hand, if you’ve been planning to get plastic surgery for years and the time never seems right, there may be an issue. What are the Downsides of Putting off a Procedure? Whether it’s breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, or any other type of plastic surgery, the main problem with delay is that the time we all have in this life is finite. You’ll have that much less time to enjoy the positive impacts of the procedure after spending too much time wo ..read more

Liposuction is one of the most popular aesthetic surgery procedures performed in the United Sates, consistently ranking in the top five cosmetic procedures performed. The perfect candidate is someone who has normal skin elasticity, is watching his/her diet, exercises regularly, but has areas of stubborn fat.  Of course, most of our patients do not fall into this category, but can still achieve noticeable improvement, depending on skin tone and amount of fat removed. In almost all cases, liposuction can be performed using local anesthesia, thus reducing cost and increasing safety for the p ..read more

Your grandparents, your ex-beach bum uncles, or your TUBI-addicted pal might know a 1966 documentary– a huge hit in its day — called The Endless Summer. It followed a group of California surfers leaving the ice-cold winter waters of winter time Dana Point and Malibu and heading south of the equator to places like Australia, where our winters are their summers. Orange County plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Jazayeri often feels like he’s in an endless summer of his own. Many patients looking for tummy tucks, breast augmentation, BBLs, mommy makeovers, and other procedures are anxious ..read more

Brazilian Butt Lifts, more often referred to as BBLs, have become wildly popular in the 21st century. It’s not hard to see why. Body fashions have evolved from the “you can’t be too rich or too thin” mindset of the late 20th century to the more recent refrain of “real women have curves.” As Dr. Michael Jazayeri explains in a recent video, however, women in search of a curvaceous physique need to be careful to avoid going excessively big. When it comes to BBLs, bigger is not necessarily better, and sometimes may be a lot worse. While real women do have curves, it’s important to make sure n ..read more

Women who find themselves with breasts that look notably different from each other often focus on getting a bust that looks “normal” – whatever that may mean. It’s only natural to feel that way, but why stop there? If you’re thinking about surgery for breast asymmetry, Dr. Michael A. Jazayeri suggests aiming for a bosom that is not just symmetrical but actually beautiful. Dr. Jazayeri corrects asymmetries using breast lifts, breast augmentation, or a combination of the two. Augmentation procedures may employ either implants or fat grafting, in which fatty tissue obtained via lip ..read more

Obtaining a good surgical result is dependent on picking a competent, board-certified plastic surgeon which has before and after photos which are desirable to the patient. Of course, before and after results are not a guarantee, but it does give the patient an idea of the vision the plastic surgeon has.  Some plastic surgeons, for example, like to create an exaggerated result, while others prefer a natural outcome. Just as important, however, is the post-operative period.  Common complications which may be directly related to non-compliance are smoking (including secondhand smoke or ..read more

Breast augmentation is one of the most common aesthetic surgical procedures performed in the United States. In this blog, I will discuss the typical healing scenario for the average breast augmentation patient. After breast augmentation surgery, the patient is seen in our office 24-48 hours post-surgery.  This visit is mainly to evaluate the breast for any signs of infection or bleeding.  The patient will also start wearing a post-surgical or sports bra at that time, and it is important to evaluate the bra size for an appropriate fit.  If the bra is too tight, it may displace th ..read more

Moms will do just about anything for their families, so they should never feel the slightest bit guilty about doing something for themselves. Mommy makeovers from Orange County plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Jazayeri are one great way moms can treat themselves to something that will make them feel their absolute best. If you’re thinking about a mommy makeover to reverse unwanted after effects of childbirth and motherhood, good for you! However, before you decide to go forward, there are a few questions you may want answered. What Procedures are Included in a Mommy Makeover? Mommy makeov ..read more

While our society tends to focus on female body parts in both a positive and negative matter, younger men in particular can be penalized with significant negative attention if their bodies are outside of what most people consider the norm. So, when men – who may or may not have significant weight issues – have unusually large breasts, there may feel deep feelings of embarrassment, even shame, that might surprise many people. That’s when male breast reduction for gynecomastia may make sense. What Causes Male Breast Enlargement? While many people assume that “man boobs” are simply the result of ..read more

If you’re looking for ways to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat that diet and exercise can’t seem to shrink, then you’ve probably run across plenty of online references to both lipocontouring and liposuction. Is there any real difference between the two terms? Or are they different names for the same procedure? As it turns out, there is a difference! Here’s how it breaks down: Liposuction Removes Stubborn Pockets of Fat First and foremost, we should note that liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, though it can help patients achieve a slimmer, more toned figure by removing fat deposits t ..read more
