What is a Mommy Makeover?

Cosmetic Surgery | Facelift | Tummy Tuck | Palm Springs

Motherhood can be a beautiful, life-changing transformation, as you watch your precious infant grow  while showering him/ her with every ounce of affection. All beautiful things come at a cost, and this one sure does! Through childbirth, your body has transformed through a series of stages, leaving it in a state that your youth-self would have probably not be that proud of. Needless to say, you can enjoy your motherhood while getting back in shape, through a simple mommy makeover plastic surgery. Dr. Suzanne Quardt, an experienced plastic surgeon of Palm Springs, says that a growing number of moms are undergoing these makeover surgeries today as they don’t want motherhood to mark the end of their youthful days. Here are some common surgeries that women today undergo as part of their mommy makeover routine.

Breast augmentation

The breasts can reduce in volume or sag, post-pregnancy. Either way, breast augmentation can help in making the breasts appear fuller and firmer. During a breast augmentation cosmetic surgery, the cosmetic surgeon places implants(silicone or saline) in the breast area. This makes the breasts appear more voluminous. The surgery lasts for about one or two hours. Soreness and bruising are common occurrences post-surgery, you should be able to resume your regular activities within two weeks. Although its results are permanent, it may require replacement, a few years down the line.

Breast lift

If you’re dead against implants as they make you feel uncomfortable, you could probably look at getting a breast lift. This plastic surgery, helps in dealing with poorly shaped, droopy breasts. During the procedure, excess droopy skin is removed, while the breast tissues are lifted, along with the nipples/ areolae being repositioned or reduced. The surgery can take anywhere between one and half hours to three hours. The results are permanent, although gravity can have a mean way of showing them down with time. You can get back to your everyday routine within one or two weeks after surgery.

Tummy tuck

During a tummy tuck, the plastic surgeon removes any excess skin in the abdominal area. He may move around the navel so it suits the surgically operated abdomen, along with firming up the walls to strengthen the abdominal muscles. The surgery could take two to five hours. The recovery takes time, although you will notice a dramatic difference in your tummy, one you get the surgery.

Liposuction

If diets and exercises are not making a difference to your fat issues, liposuction could be the key to look better. A liposuction involves draining out excess fat from the body. As inviting as that sounds, you don’t have to get all worked up, as the procedure isn’t all that gory. Advanced technology and equipments have enabled the use of laser and ultrasound to breakdown the fat during liposuction. The surgery can take anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours, based on how many areas you’re getting treated through the surgery. You may have to put on compression garments to reduce the swelling after surgery. While you may experience soreness in the days following surgery, you can start appreciating the results of the surgery within three months.

Available in Palm Springs: Non-surgical Facial Procedures: Botox, Dysport, Dermal Fillers, and Laser Skin Resurfacing

Dr. Suzanne Marie Quardt, or Dr. Q as she is known among her patients, is a board certified plastic surgeon. She provides safe, proven, and effective cosmetic surgery as well as non-surgical treatments to her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert and nearby communities. Her office is fully equipped with state of the art technologies to provide plastic surgery as well as non-invasive procedures for cosmetic enhancement.

As an experienced cosmetic surgeon, she understands the need of some of her patients in Palm Springs and Palm Desert to avoid surgery and opt for non-surgical solutions. She makes sure that the latest and most effective non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures are provided to her patients in a safe and friendly environment.

Botox and Dysport

Many patients wish to reduce wrinkles and fine lines from the face without having to undergo a plastic surgery procedure. In such cases, Dr. Q may recommend Botox or Dysport as effective FDA approved anti-aging treatments for the face. This treatment involves injecting the wrinkle-causing muscle directly with the medication through thin needles. The targeted muscle immediately goes into a state of temporary relaxation, and the wrinkle fades away or disappears completely. The biological agent used in both Botox and Dysport is botulinum toxin, which is one of the most powerful neurotoxins known to man.

Botox was approved by the FDA for reduction of frown lines from the forehead in 2002. Ever since then, it has remained one of the most popular cosmetic anti-aging facial treatments for people who wish to avoid cosmetic surgery. Botox has recently earned FDA’s approval also for the reduction of crow’s feet around the eyes. Dysport has yet to gain this approval, but both treatments are proven and effective for the reduction or removal of crow’s feet. Dr. Q offers both options to her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert and surrounding communities. Results with both treatments may last for around three to four months in most cases.

Dermal Fillers

A number of highly effective facial fillers, also known as cosmetic dermal fillers or soft tissue fillers are available today that have been approved by the FDA for the reduction of wrinkles, facial folds and lines. As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Q understands the need of some of her patients in Palm Springs and Palm Desert to avoid surgery and yet achieve similar aesthetic outcomes for the face. She may recommend some of the most effective dermal fillers to candidates who are fit to receive filler treatment.

Most facial fillers can achieve quick results in terms of adding volume to the face, augmenting certain areas of the face such as lips or cheeks, and reducing or removing deep, moderate and fine wrinkles. Dr. Q provides various filler options, including Restylane and Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse, Hylaform, Hyalform Plus, and Sculptra Aesthetic. All of these fillers are FDA approved and highly effective for cosmetic rejuvenation of the face. Dr. Q combines her training and experience as a cosmetic surgeon to ensure best injectable filler treatments for her patients.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

It is possible to reduce conspicuous signs of aging from the face and other anomalies such as uneven skin tone, rough texture, wrinkles, and fine lines and skin laxity with the help of a conservative, non-surgical laser technique called laser skin resurfacing.

Dr. Q’s office is equipped with Palomar’s Artisan Multi-Wavelength Platform, which is a state of the art technology to deliver highly effective results for facial skin rejuvenation. Different patients have different aesthetic needs and goals, and the Artisan system is one of the most effective technologies available to achieve optimal results without causing damage to the health of the outer skin’s surface.

Breast Implants -Your Choices

Dr. Suzanne M. Quardt, or Dr. Q as she is known to her patients, is an aesthetic fellowship trained, board certified plastic surgeon. She provides state of the art cosmetic surgery procedures for the breast, body and face at her Rancho Mirage office. Patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert and surrounding areas have an opportunity to receive advanced surgical procedures from Dr. Q. She has earned a number of recognitions for her contributions as a cosmetic surgeon. She has also been featured in national publications such as New Beauty Magazine and Plastic Surgery Practice.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery has become one of the most sought after cosmetic surgery procedures in recent years. With improved qualities of breast implants, it is possible to achieve fuller breasts with a natural look and feel. Dr. Q provides both saline and silicone gel breast implant options to her patients and helps them make appropriate choices according to their aesthetic needs.

Breast augmentation is not only useful from a cosmetic perspective to enhance the size of breasts, but it may also help restore breasts following a mastectomy or breast tissue injury. Moderate conditions of asymmetrical breasts may also be corrected with breast implants. Patients in and around Palm Springs and Palm Desert can receive breast implant surgery from Dr. Q using the latest qualities of implants.

Breast Lift

For some women, the breast size may be appropriate, but the breasts may droop heavily due to aging, heredity, gravity, weight loss or other factors. In such cases, breast lift surgery may be an effective way to raise the breasts to make them appear firmer and more youthful. If the nipples are pointing downwards, the plastic surgeon may reposition the nipples and areolas to a more appropriate location.

In some cases, Dr. Q may recommend a combination of breast augmentation and breast lift surgery for her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, and nearby areas. Breast lift surgery may also be used to reduce the size of areolas if they have become excessively enlarged.

Silicone vs Saline Implants

Saline implants are filled with a saline solution, while silicone implants are filled with silicone gel. Both types of implants are FDA approved and used widely by patients looking to enhance their breast appearance with plastic surgery. Saline implants have an advantage that in case of implant rupture, the saline solution is naturally absorbed in the body because it is a biocompatible filler. However, the look, touch, and feel of saline implants may not appeal to some patients who are looking for more aesthetic results.

As an experienced cosmetic surgeon for breast implants, Dr. Q recommends advanced qualities of silicone implants in such cases. The advantage with silicone implants is that they mimic the natural breast tissue more closely in look, touch, and feel. Dr. Q has introduced highly cohesive gel based Sientra silicone implants to her patients in Palm Springs and Palm Desert.

These advanced quality implants are very safe because the silicone gel contained in the implant is so highly viscous that it does not seep through the implant shell even in the case of an implant rupture. Highly cohesive gel makes the implant aesthetically superior and safer at the same time. Only trained or board certified plastic surgeons can get access to Sientra implants. Dr. Q makes sure that her patients receive only FDA approved implant qualities for long term effectiveness and safety.

Other Implant Types

Sientra implants are based on Gummy Bear implant technology, which makes use of highly cohesive silicone gel for best results. Dr. Q makes an endeavor to provide the latest, proven, and cutting-edge technologies to her patients so that they can achieve desired outcomes in the most effective ways. Sientra is one of the latest introductions at Dr. Q’s office.

The other quality of implants available with Dr. Q is Allergan Natrelle. Natrelle breast implants are produced by Allergan, Inc., which is a renowned, California-based company producing innovative medical products and devices, including Botox and Juvederm dermal filler. Allergan Natrelle is an advanced cohesive gel implant that Dr. Q provides at her practice.

LIFT AND TIGHTEN THE FACE AND NECK WITHOUT SURGERY

OR DOWN TIME WITH ULTHERAPY

 

Ultherapy is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment designed to fight the signs of aging in our skin by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen.  The collagen in our skin helps it to stay firm, toned and elastic.  Sadly, as we age, our collagen levels decrease, causing the skin to lose elasticity and succumb to the effects of gravity, allowing our skin to sag as it is pulled downward.  Ultherapy uses the safe power of ultrasound to trigger our skin to create new, fresh collagen that can stand up to gravity and give the face and neck a firm, uplifted look.  Dr. Suzanne Quardt is a Board-Certified plastic surgeon with years of experience with both surgical and non-surgical approaches to body contouring and anti-aging treatments.  “Dr. Q”, as she is affectionately called by her patients, will listen carefully to your aesthetic concerns, and will design a customized Ultherapy treatment plan to ensure that your aesthetic goals are fulfilled.  Click Here to Learn More…

What is Forever Young BBL?

BBL or BroadBand Light is an innovative non-invasive technology to reduce the signs of aging and achieve skin rejuvenation without the need for plastic surgery. The technology comprises a unique flash lamp, Smart Filters, Finesse Adapters, and precision thermoelectric cooling. The advanced dual lamp technology delivers the required amount of energy to enhance the appearance of the skin in the targeted area without cosmetic surgery.

Anti Aging Treatment - Palm Springs | Palm Desert | Rancho Mirage Forever Young BBL

Unlike many other non-invasive treatments, the broad range of wavelengths of Forever Young BBL enable precise treatment of a number of skin conditions without the requirement of additional equipment. The system includes flexible Finesse Adapters that allow for treatment in hard to reach areas. This ensures even looking results throughout the treated area.

BBL technology has received clearance from the FDA for the treatment of several skin conditions such as benign pigmented lesions, cutaneous lesions, cutaneous vascular lesions, hair reduction, and pustular inflammatory acne vulgaris. The treatment has not yet been FDA cleared for changing gene expression or anti-aging. However, there is already scientific evidence available to suggest that regular maintenance treatment with Forever Young BBL can delay the aging process of the skin and functionally rejuvenate skin.

Stanford Study on BBL Effectiveness

A study titled “Rejuvenation of Gene Expression Pattern of Aged Human Skin by Broadband Light Treatment” led by dermatologist Dr. Anne Lynn S. Chang of the Stanford University School of Medicine became the first scientific study to demonstrate that BBL therapy can restore gene expression pattern of aging skin to resemble younger looking skin. More than a thousand gene expressions became rejuvenated, as observed in the study. They resembled youthful skin due to reduced elastosis and a more evenly distributed collagen deposition. Improvements in pigmentation and fine wrinkles were visible.

The study, which was published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, supported the hypothesis that aging regulators can be altered in the skin with the help of BBL technology to induce a functional change, and not just a cosmetic appearance of youthful skin. The study indicated that the appearance of youthful skin could be due to the differences observed in gene expression patterns of aging skin resembling more like younger skin. Treatments from the study were performed on the FDA cleared Sciton Joule employing the BBL module.

The results of the study revealed that the molecular changes that are promoted by BBL treatment can help improve the appearance of sun spots, acne, freckles and several vascular conditions. Patients in Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and other places who are looking for alternatives to a cosmetic surgeon’s treatments may consider Forever Young BBL technology. Many patients are already asking for BBL treatment to promote a rejuvenated and youthful looking appearance. Dr. Chang’s is the first study to show the effects of BBL on human skin, though previously its effectiveness has already been demonstrated on animal skin.

Advantages of Forever Young BBL

Forever Young BBL is the only technology that has been demonstrated to have caused the change of expression in genes associated with longevity, aging and increased lifespan. This non-invasive treatment adopts a radically different approach from other treatments, including various plastic surgery procedures. With regular treatment sessions with Forever Young BBL, the patient’s skin can continue to look smoother, clearer and more youthful.

The treatment does not involve any downtime, and the patient is ready to resume his or her regular routine immediately. This makes it a treatment of choice for working people and busy moms who are reluctant to choose traditional cosmetic surgery treatments because of the potential risks and recovery period involves. Results with BBL treatment are long lasting, and studies have included patients who received treatment 10 years ago or even earlier.

Unlike a typical surgery procedure from a plastic surgeon, the BBL treatment time is much shorter. The procedure does not involve anesthesia or IV sedation, and the patient can remain comfortable throughout the treatment session. The average treatment time for the full face is about 15 minutes. The treatment is effective on all areas of the body.

Botox for Crow’s Feet – Palm Springs | Palm Desert  | Rancho Mirage

Dr. Suzanne Marie Quardt, or Dr. Q as she known among her patients, is an experienced provider of state of the art aesthetic treatments. Dr. Q has been featured in a number of national publications, including Plastic Surgery Practice and New Beauty Magazine. Patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert and surrounding communities have an opportunity to receive safe, proven, and effective treatments at Dr. Q’s office.

Why Choose Botox?

botox for crows feet palm springs | palm desert | rancho miragePatients who are keen to reduce the signs of aging from their face, but do not wish to undergo a cosmetic surgery procedure may be outstanding candidates for Botox treatment. Botox cosmetic solution is based on botulinum neurotoxin, which is a highly potent biological substance known to man. The treatment must be received only from an experienced Botox provider or a qualified plastic surgeon because of its lethal nature.

An expert Botox provider will use the neurotoxin in controlled quantities to reduce wrinkles and fine lines from the face. The treatment was approved by the FDA in 2002 for the cosmetic reduction of frown lines on the forehead. Ever since then it has been adopted as one of the most popular and effective anti-aging treatments for patients who are keen to avoid an invasive procedure with a cosmetic surgeon.

FDA Approval for Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet or lateral canthal lines refer to the fine wrinkles and lines that radiate from the far outside corners of the eyes. These lines can make the eyes appear tired and the person can look more aged than his or her years. Dr. Q recommends Botox to reduce crow’s feet for her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert and nearby areas as a non-invasive replacement for plastic surgery procedures such as brow lift or eyelid lift.

The FDA has recently given its official approval for the use of Botox treatment to reduce crow’s feet around the eyes. With the stamp of FDA approval, a greater number of patients will be encouraged to go for this treatment. When Botox is used to reduce crow’s feet, it can make the eyes appear rejuvenated, rested, and more youthful.

How does it Work?

Botulinum neurotoxin has a unique property to cause a blockage of communication between the nerve and the muscle when it is directly injected into a muscle in prescribed quantities. Unlike cosmetic surgery procedures, the treatment does not involve any incisions. The Botox provider can use fine needles to inject the medication directly into the targeted overactive muscle that is causing the formation of a wrinkle.

As soon as the chemical reaches the muscle, it cuts off the communication with the nervous system, and the muscle becomes paralyzed for a temporary period. With the muscle no longer active, the wrinkle on the surface of the skin fades away immediately. The effect of a single Botox treatment can last for anywhere between three and six months. The treatment may be repeated for extended benefits in consultation with an experienced Botox provider or a plastic surgeon.

Botox Study for Crow’s Feet

Allergan, Inc., the company that manufactures Botox, received FDA approval following extensive tests and studies to show the effectiveness of the treatment for reduction of crow’s feet. One major study was conducted by Allergan that involved more than a thousand adult participants, who were divided into two groups. One group of 833 participants was treated with Botox for crow’s feet reduction, while the other group was left untreated.

The group that received the treatment showed significant reduction in the appearance of crow’s feet when compared to the untreated group. Dr. Q recommends to her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Deserts and nearby areas to have realistic expectations from the procedure, and reminds them that the results will last only temporarily from three to six months.

Patient Reviews for Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Suzanne Quardt – Palm Springs | Palm Desert | Rancho Mirage

by Heidi C., Twentynine Palms, CA

After a number of consultations, I decided to have my breast augmentation done by Dr.  Q.  There were a ton of contributing factors to my selection of surgeon, but what was most important to me was how comfortable she made me feel.  I have a fear of doctors and hospitals, but this was a procedure I had wanted for years.  Through education and much patience she helped me decide what type, profile and size was good for me. The COMPLIMENTARY consultation took almost an hour and a half.  I never felt rushed through an appointment.  Since the surgery she has done numerous follow ups which made me feel much more at ease.  I got the exact look I wanted.  Included with the BA was Botox provided by the breast implant company.  I was sure there would be some catch.  Like a surgeon fee or something.  NO catch free Botox for me and a friend.  The Botox turned out absolutely perfect.  It looks very natural and now I have no wrinkles.

Incredible experience.

Incredible experience. She talked with me to find out not only what I wanted but to suggest some options. I thought I knew what I wanted but took her recommendations and was overjoyed at the results. I am currently 3 months out from the date of surgery. Highly recommend Dr. Q!

Great Experience & Results!

Dr. Quardt is very professional, gentle and compassionate. I researched other doctors in the area and was happy with how thorough she was even taking measurements and checking for symetry. After nursing my 3 kids and losing 57 pounds over the course of the years, my breasts looked like an old woman in a young body. I was not looking to have huge breasts, but just to be full again and not sag. She took the time to hear my concerns and answer them prior to having a mastoplexy and breast augmentation. After my procedure, she called me while I was recovering to check on me and make sure I was doing okay. I always had questions for her and she was kind enough to put my mind at ease. Each time I go into her office for my post-op check-ups, she takes the time to answer any questions I have. Dr. Q. helped make me feel like a beautiful woman again!

Great Experience
by A. Holford

I have hesitated about getting a breast reduction my entire adult life. i researched Plastic Surgeons and felt Dr. Q had the right qualifications. From the moment i met her and her staff, i felt at ease. They answered all my questions and could get me in for surgery so quickly, i really didn’t have time to change my mind..which was a very good thing. Dr. Quardt is extremely capable, smart, professional, funny and warm. i would and have recommended her to friends. i am so pleased with the entire experience and even more pleased with the results. Thank you.

 

Great Surgeon!

Patient Reviews for Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Suzanne Quardt – Palm Springs | Palm Desert | Rancho Mirage

By Christine D., Encinitas, CA

My mother lives in Palm Springs and visits Dr. Q for her “lift-ups & touch-ups” as she calls them.  As far as my mom goes, she looks beautiful and never “over-done.”  She loves Dr. Q because she says she feels very comfortable and confident that the Doctor won’t make her look unnatural.

Last time I came out and visited, my mom talked me into coming with her to her appointment.  The office is beautiful and not “doctor’s office-y” at all.  There are beautiful chandeliers and furniture, but it didn’t feel snobby.  The woman at the front desk was beautiful and very friendly and welcoming.  I wasn’t planning on having anything done, but the Doctor and her staff told me about the light chemical peels.  I saw before and after photos, and decided to go for it.  The staff made me feel extremely comfortable.  In the next few days, I noticed my skin to be much smoother and the freckles I’ve acquired from my years in sunny California have dramatically lightened.

I was very hesitant about ever having something cosmetic done, but Doctor Q changed my view on it.  If I was to ever do anything again, I would definitely want to go back to her.  I think being a woman, she just somehow understood my concerns and nervousness more.

Thank you!

 

By Charissa F., Palm Desert, CA

I have seen Dr. Quardt now for over five years.  I consider it “repairs and maintenance”.  I think she is nothing short of amazing.  I started with surgery and then maintained with fillers, botox and laser.  I think it has greatly decreased the signs of aging, has given me great confidence, and increased my motivation to take care of myself.  I feel good about myself inside and out.  Dr. Quardt is trained in the latest and greatest techniques and is a highly regarded surgeon (she was Chief of Plastics at Eisenhower.)  She is compassionate and caring and can relate to her patients.  I talked to several doctors and evaluated them and my comfort level closely before I chose one.  Please feel free to contact me if you wish to speak to me directly for a reference.

 

by monique r., Los Angeles, CA

It has now been almost 3 months since my surgery and my recovery is going way better than anyone has ever seen.  I have a  large group of friends, a few of which have had breast reductions and they still have major scarring.  Mine is almost completely gone.  This is hard to imagine because I have dark skin and usually we scar worse than others.  At this rate, by summer I will not be able to see any scars at all.  I also have full feeling and sensitivity.  Sooo glad I chose Dr. Quardt.

by Stephen P., Palm Springs, CA

LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr Quardt. I do only visit for Botox but I find her friendly, kind, professional and skillful at her work. I would see her for something more if I ever feel the need.
