Although many people in Los Angeles know what a tummy tuck is, most people don’t know what a Body Lift is. Body Lift is a relatively new plastic surgery procedure in Beverly Hills which is used for body contouring of people who have lost massive weight after Bariatric Surgery- Gastric Bypass or Lap Band.

In Beverly Hills, Body Lift or Belt Lipectomy is similar to an abdominoplasty in that it also removes excess hanging skin folds of the abdomen. In addition, a Body Lift also removes excess hanging skin of the lower back and helps to lift the sagging buttocks. Beverly Hills Body Lift uses a circumferential torso incision to remove the hanging skin of the mid torso, including that of the abdomen, flanks, and the lower back, and thus lift up the lower body.

Body Lift is a complicated procedure that is best performed by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeons who specialize in post bariatric body contouring, or body contouring after massive weight loss. This Body Contouring procedure needs to be performed in a Surgical Facility which is equipped for the intra-operative and post-operative necessities of a major abdominal surgery.

Recovery after a Body Lift takes at least 3 weeks, and during at least the first ten days the patient would need much help. Most patients can return to their routine activities after the third week and start exercising in 4-6 weeks.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty among African Americans is not as common as nose surgery among Caucasians in Southern California. One reason may be that because of recent history of Black Rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills, African-Americans are fearful of getting a nose that resembles that of Michel Jackson! The first thing that I often hear from African Americans that seek Ethnic Rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills is that they want to look natural. Black men and women who seek rhinoplasty in Los Angeles want to get a nose which is more refined, while being in harmony with the rest of their face.

In order to achieve a natural looking nose during an Ethnic Rhinoplasty a plastic surgeon has to be aware of several fundamental differences between an African American and a Caucasian nose. A black person’s nose is typically wider at the nostrils, more flared, and has less nasal tip projection. Also African Americans typically do not have a prominent bridge. In order to make an African nose more proportional and balanced, augmentation of the nasal bridge is usually required. Nasal augmentation is achieved either with the use of a nasal implant or that of a cartilage graft. The size and width of the nostrils is also reduced to a more normal proportion, and the nasal tip is raised.

There are several limitations in performing a rhinoplasty on an African-American. Because the nasal skin of an African American person is relatively thicker than that of a Caucasian the same level of refinement and definition can seldom be achieved in an African-American nose surgery. Therefore, the nasal tip often remains rounder and less sharp, and the nostrils (ala) skin usually stays thicker.

Because of a propensity for developing keloid scarring the incisions in an African American nasal surgery have to be carefully and strategically placed, for example in the nostril creases. Likewise, an open Rhinoplasty should be avoided. Dr. Sean Younai is a Board Certified Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills who specializes in Nasal and Facial Plastic Surgery.
