FDA Approves Kybella Treatment for Fat below the Chin

Excess fat deposits below the chin can give an unsightly appearance of double chin. Liposuction cosmetic surgery is usually recommended to treat this condition, but some patients may be reluctant to choose an elective surgery procedure. For all such patients, a new and revolutionary non-surgical treatment called Kybella is now available.

Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q) is a leading plastic surgeon providing state of the art surgical and as well as non-surgical aesthetic procedures. Dr. Q offers cutting edge injectable solution called Kybella to address stubborn fat pockets below the chin. She receives patients from Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding communities.

Facial Procedures

FDA Approval

The US Food and Drug Administration has recently given its approval to Kybella for the treatment of moderate to severe fat tissue below the chin, which is called submental fat. This makes Kybella the first and only injectable treatment for submental fat to receive the FDA approval. Kybella is exclusively created to reduce fats in the submental area only.

Extensive tests and trials have been conducted to determine the safety and efficacy of Kybella for fat reduction under the chin. Excellent test results as well as positive patient feedback have encouraged leading cosmetic surgeons such as Dr. Q to offer Kybella non-surgical alternative.

How does it Work?

Kybella is based on deoxycholic acid that is naturally produced in the human body. This substance is designed to help the body absorb fats. When Kybella is injected into the submental fat tissue, it causes the physical destruction of the cell membrane. With this treatment, the unwanted fat cells are eliminated.

If injected wrongly, it may cause undesirable destruction of healthy skin cells. Therefore, it is important to choose a trained and experienced treatment provider for Kybella. Dr. Q Medical Spa and plastic surgery practice are equipped to provide this treatment to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and nearby areas.

Choosing an Expert

For an advanced injectable procedure such as Kybella, it is very important to receive the injections only from a recognized and certified expert. According to Amy G. Egan, M.D., M.P.H., deputy director of the Office of Drug Evaluation III in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Kybella treatment should only be provided by licensed healthcare professionals.

At the same time, the patients should be fully aware of the potential risks associated with the use of the drug. Egan says that it is important to remember that Kybella is only approved for the treatment of submental fat, and whether it is suitable for other areas of the body is not yet known.

Treatment Protocol

Kybella is administered in the injection form directly into the fat tissue below the chin. Patients can receive multiple injections in a single treatment session. Up to six treatments may be received by a patient, but treatment sessions should be spaced at least a month apart. Kybella drug is currently available in single patient use vials, and it must not be mixed or diluted with any other compounds that are on the market.

Fat Grafting can Reduce the Appearance of Breast Implant Rippling

Breast augmentation cosmetic surgery has continued to rank among the most popular procedures in the U.S. ever since the FDA approved silicone and saline implants for cosmetic breast enhancement. Success rates of the procedure have improved dramatically with advancements in surgical techniques and innovative breast implant qualities. However, sometimes the implants can still develop post-op complications.

Implant rippling is one of the common issues, which can compromise the shape and appearance of the breast. The problem can be addressed to a magnificent extent with a fat grafting technique. As compared to breast revision, fat grafting is a much lesser invasive procedure to improve breast appearance after implant rippling. Leading plastic surgeon Dr. Suzanne Quardt provides this procedure to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding areas.

Why Rippling Occurs?  

In some cases, the patient may choose extra large breast implants that are oversized for her breast anatomy, while in other situations, the cosmetic surgeon may make a wrong judgment of size, and recommend oversized implants. The result can be over-stretching of the breast tissue. If the available breast tissue proves to be inadequate in covering the implant, rippling may occur.

While implant rippling can be corrected with breast replacement surgery, but that is a complicated and expensive option. Most patients will have the option to choose fat grafting procedure to address the problem of implant rippling. Fat grafting can add more volume and coverage to the existing implant. This will not resolve the rippling effect, but make it significantly less noticeable.

High Precision

A key advantage with fat grafting technique to reduce the appearance of implant rippling is the precision. The procedure allows for the placement of extra fat in very precise location to achieve maximum coverage. Harvested fat cells can be placed in the desired spots to improve shape and fullness. Thin-bodied women can be the best beneficiaries of fat grafting.

Fat grafting enables the surgeon to create a sort of padding over the rippled implants, leading to thickening of the breast tissue. It volumizes the upper pole of the breasts, supporting increased coverage of the underlying implants. Breast asymmetries can also be reduced with fat grafting.

Choosing the Right Surgeon  

Fat grafting is a less invasive technique, and may appear to be a rather simple procedure at the outset. However, in reality this procedure very sensitive and involves high skills and experience. Only an experienced plastic surgeon would be able to achieve consistent looking results in every case. From fat harvesting to fat purifying to fat grafting, every stage of the procedure will make an impact on the final result. Dr. Quardt provides fat grafting to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and nearby areas.

Some degree of fat loss will almost always occur during the fat harvesting stage. However, a skilled surgeon can minimize the loss and thereby reduce the number of grafts needed. The most adept surgeons are typically able to ensure that a minimum of 70 to 90% of the injected fat does not perish but is able to live after this stage is completed.

Many people are keen to enhance their physical appearance with modern aesthetic techniques, but not every individual may be ready to undergo cosmetic surgery. Surgery may permanently alter the shape, which may not be acceptable to some, while some others may not prefer to invest the kind of time and cost it may involve. However, it is possible to tighten loose skin, and firm up certain areas of the body without plastic surgery procedures.

This is where a reputed and experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q) has developed a system called Re-Q-venation that helps patients achieve desired aesthetic outcomes without surgery. Re-Q-venation procedures are ideal for people who wish to take smaller steps rather than opting straightaway for surgery to maintain their appearance. Facelift and tummy tuck are among the popular procedures that Dr. Q can perform without surgery for her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding communities.

Facelift

As a dedicated cosmetic surgeon herself, Dr. Q understands the intricacies of facial anatomy, and has created innovative non-surgical solutions for facelift for patients who wish to avoid surgery. With Re-Q-venation techniques, she is able to provide significant lifting to the face, and catalyze the production of fresh collagen in the deeper layers of the facial skin for long-lasting facelift results.

Ulthera

One of the most effective techniques that Dr. Q recommends is Ulthera, which is an ultrasound-based non-invasive procedure. The treatment is useful for patients who are concerned about signs of aging appearing on the face, and need preventative care. With Ulthera, such patients will usually experience marvelous results within 90 days, with almost no downtime involved.

Liquid Facelift

Liquid facelift is another innovative procedure that is a part of Re-Q-venation. Patients may choose this option to achieve facial skin tightening and volumizing without cosmetic surgery. Dr. Q may recommend this treatment to suitable candidates among her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and nearby locations.

Liquid facelift involves multiple non-surgical solutions such as Botox or Dysport, along with dermal fillers such as Juvederm or Radiesse. The procedure can help reduce wrinkles, erase laugh lines, lift the brows, and fill in facial depressions.

Lasers and Chemical Peels

Certain laser treatments and chemical peels can be provided as a part of Re-Q-venation to reverse advanced signs of aging without plastic surgery. Chemical peels and lasers such as Ultrapulse CO2 can tighten loose skin and reduce the impact of the wrinkles significantly. Recovery time can be slightly longer with these treatments, but it is still lesser compared to most surgical options.

Tummy Tuck

CoolSculpting is a revolutionary non-surgical fat reduction technique that Dr. Q may recommend as a substitute for tummy tuck surgery. The technique involves targeting of stubborn fat pockets using a controlled cooling process. Unwanted fat cells will disintegrate with this non-invasive technique, and gradually get eliminated from the body.

Thermage is another innovative fat reduction technique, which involves treatment with radio frequency energy to tighten loose skin and shrink fat cells. Three to five inches of waist loss can be achieved with this technique.

Re-Q-venation with Dr. Q.

Many people are bothered by the signs of aging that can make them look older than their actual age. A number of cosmetic surgery treatments are available today for skin tightening, fat reduction, and toning up of specific area of the body. However, not every individual may be comfortable with the idea of plastic surgery for aesthetic reasons. In such cases, the cosmetic surgeon may recommend effective non-surgical alternatives to achieve a rejuvenated physical appearance.

Technological advancements have led to the emergence of several state of the art non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments that can produce the desired aesthetic results, even though the outcomes cannot be compared with surgery.

Game Changers for a Person’s Self-esteem

Two of the most popular aesthetic treatments in surgery include facelift and tummy tuck. With innovative non-surgical techniques, Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q), who is a qualified plastic surgeon, is able to provide similar results as surgery for these procedures. Dr. Q receives patients from Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding communities.

Facelift

Ulthera is a marvelous, stellar, and astounding non-surgical technique that can help a patient to achieve significant lift to tighten facial skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Patients who are keen to avoid cosmetic surgery may consider this alternative. The marvelous thing about this ultrasound based technique is that the energy is able to penetrate into the deeper foundations of the skin, stimulating the production of fresh collagen, and eventually achieving sustainable and longer lasting outcomes.

Many experienced cosmetic surgeons are recommending Ulthera for patients who suffer from facial skin laxity, but need non-surgical preventative care in order to delay the onset of conspicuous signs of aging. The treatment involves no downtime and no risk of side effects. Patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and nearby locations have an opportunity to receive this treatment from Dr. Q, who is a plastic surgeon of repute in the area. Ulthera can also be used effectively on other parts of the body that require toning up.

Dr. Q also provides liquid facelift treatment options such as Botox, Dysport, and dermal fillers. These are injectable treatments to achieve facial rejuvenation and reduction of wrinkles and lines. Advanced laser treatments such as Ultrapulse CO2 laser as well as chemical peels are non-surgical treatment options to achieve skin tightening and reduction of facial wrinkles without surgery.

Tummy Tuck and Fat Reduction in Other Areas

One of the highly popular and effective non-surgical alternatives to abdominoplasty or tummy tuck plastic surgery is CoolSculpting. This procedure involves a unique cooling technique that is designed to freeze off the unwanted fat cells to their death. The procedure does not involve any incisions or even injections, and can cause disintegration of the stubborn fat cells simply with as targeted and controlled cooling process.

The frozen fat cells eventually get eliminated from the body in a natural way. Most patients will be able to see noticeable results after just a single CoolSculpting treatment. The treatment is best suited for patients who are bothered by stubborn pockets of localized fats in areas such as the tummy, hips, thighs, calves, and neck. Thermage is another treatment option, which uses heat based therapy to achieve the same fat reduction results by disintegrating the fat cells by delivery of targeted heat energy.

Breast Augmentation vs. Fat Transfer

Breast Augmentation | Fat Transfer | Palm Springs | Palm Desert CACosmetic surgery techniques and technologies have evolved rapidly over the last two decades, giving rise to a number of cutting-edge procedures for the face, body, and breast. Many women are keen to increase the size of their breasts to make them more proportionate to the rest of the body. A plastic surgeon will usually recommend breast augmentation through implants to enhance the breast size. However, of late, a few surgeons are also willing to consider fat transfer surgical technique as an option to improve breast size.

An experienced cosmetic surgeon will discuss the pros and cons of both treatment options so that the patient is in a position to make the right choice to meet her unique aesthetic goals. Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q) is a well-known plastic surgeon providing state of the art breast surgery and other procedures. Patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding locations can receive the latest plastic surgery procedures from Dr. Q in a safe and professional surgical environment.

Prove and Accepted Procedures

A cosmetic surgery procedure such as breast augmentation is primarily an elective surgery, which makes it even more important to maintain patient safety as the topmost priority over other considerations. An experienced plastic surgeon will evaluate the safety profile of both breast implant surgery and fat transfer technique in view of a patient’s individual aesthetic goals and other factors.

Safety standards in the case of breast implant plastic surgery are well-established. Both silicone and saline breast implants have been approved by the FDA several years ago. Extensive research has gone into this area, and thousands of breast implant procedures are conducted each year in the United States with very successful and predictable results. Advanced qualities of highly cohesive silicone implants have practically eliminated the risk of leakage even in the event of implant rupture.

The fat transfer technique for breast augmentation, on the other hand, has not been widely accepted as a standard procedure as of now. Adequate medical research has not been conducted to determine the effectiveness of this technique with regard to breast enhancement. As a cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Q is completely dedicated to the safety of her patients in every procedure she provides. She receives patients from Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and nearby areas for various surgical and non-surgical procedures.

Scope of Increasing Breast Size

Breast implants surgery is usually ideal for patients who are keen to achieve a significant increase in the breast size. Implants are available in sizes ranging from 120cc to 960cc. Patients also have a choice of shapes, profiles, and textures in implants. The breast surgeon can deliver fairly customized outcomes with a treatment plan that closely matches with the patient’s aesthetic goals.

In the fat transfer breast augmentation technique, one of the first limitations is the volume of spare fat tissue that is available in other parts of the body. Gluteal area, lips, and cheeks can be augmented successfully with fat transfer, but in case of breast enlargement, only a marginal enhancement may be achieved.

Breast Augmentation | Breast Implant Results | Palm Desert | Palm SpringsYour Breast Augmentation Surgery Before and After Photos

Breast augmentation cosmetic surgery procedure is designed to increase the size of breasts by way of surgical insertion of breast implants. In some cases, the procedure may be performed as a reconstructive plastic surgery to compensate for breast tissue loss due to mastectomy or a traumatic injury to the breasts. In any case, it is important the procedure should be performed only on suitable candidates.

During the initial consultation process, the cosmetic surgeon will show breast augmentation surgery before and after photos to explain various aspects of the procedure, and help her make the right decision. Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q) is a reputed plastic surgeon providing this procedure to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and other areas.

What are Breast Augmentation Before and After Images?

Before and after images in case of breast augmentation surgery refer to a pair or group of pictures belonging to a previous patient who has received the same procedure with a successful outcome. The pictures include images taken prior to the cosmetic surgery and after the surgery at a stage when the initial swelling and bruising have disappeared and full effects of the procedure are visible.

The cosmetic surgeon will take these pictures with the patient’s consent, and use them in a discreet way for new patients of breast augmentation. The pictures can help educate new patients about various aspects of the procedure, and help them make an informed choice. Patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and other areas have an opportunity to receive this procedure from Dr. Q.

Advantages

A new patient may only have a vague idea about how breast augmentation may help enhance her breast appearance. At the time of initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will be able to use breast augmentation before and after photos as a visual aid to explain various aspects of the procedure. Several key decisions are involved in this procedure, such as the type and extent of incisions, the placement position of implants, and the type, size, shape, and profile of implants.

Sometimes the surgeon may recommend a combination of breast augmentation and breast lift surgery. All these issues may be confusing for the patient, and this is where the before and after photos will come in very handy to help the patient make the right choices in consultation with the surgeon.

Being Realistic about Results

Success in any cosmetic surgery procedure will, in part, depend on whether the patient had a positive outlook, clear aesthetic goals, and realistic expectations. With the help of breast augmentation before and after photos, the surgeon will ensure that the patient knows exactly what the procedure can or cannot do for her. This mitigates the risk of any misunderstanding or disappointment at a later stage.

Digital Photos

Some plastic surgeons like to provide the breast augmentation before and after photos on their practice website. This allows new patients to access the photographs online before even they have visited the surgeon’s office for a consultation. Patients can review these pictures at their own convenience in the privacy of their home or office.
