Dr. Q Plastic Surgery Now Offers Ultherapy –
Lift and Tighten the Face and Neck Without Surgery and Take 50% Off IPL Just in Time for the Holidays

Dr. Q Plastic Surgery Now Offers Ultherapy

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.

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

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.

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.

breast augmentation Dr. Suzanne Marie Quardt, or “Dr. Q™” as she is known among her patients, is an experienced plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. She received her residency training in general and plastic surgery from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. She then completed a post-graduate fellowship training program in Specialty Plastic Reconstructive and Burn Reconstructive Surgery at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey, CA.

Dr. Q served as the Chief of Plastic Surgery at the prestigious Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage from 2009 to 2011, and currently serves on several Hospital Committees there. She provides a wide range of surgical and non-surgical procedures for her patients in Palm Springs and Palm Desert area. She performs surgical procedures either at a hospital or in fully accredited outpatient surgery facilities along with board certified anesthesiologists. For her contributions to the field of cosmetic surgery, Dr. Q was named as one of the Coachella Valley’s “Top Docs” by Castle Connelly, Ltd in Palm Springs Life magazine.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Augmentation mammaplasty, commonly known as breast augmentation, is a surgical procedure to enhance the breast size and volume with the help of breast implants. Patients may seek breast implant surgery from a qualified cosmetic surgeon for one or more of the following reasons:

Patient has naturally small breasts due to genetic reasons.
Patient perceives her breasts to be small and is unhappy with them.
Patient has lost breast volume following a pregnancy or major weight loss.
Patient’s breasts are moderately asymmetrical.
Patient has undergone a mastectomy and needs restoration of breast size and shape.

Breast augmentation can make the breasts fuller and more attractive. The procedure has gained popularity with new advancements in breast implant qualities and surgical techniques. FDA approvals for silicone gel and saline implants have prompted many patients to consider this treatment over the last few years. In some cases, breast implant procedure may be combined with breast lift plastic surgery to achieve more effective results.

Choice of Implants

Saline breast implants include a saline solution that is biocompatible, and the patient has no risk even in the case of an implant rupture. These implants are FDA approved for women who are 18 years or older. Silicone implants are filled with highly cohesive silicone gel. Silicone implants are FDA approved for women who are 22 years or older. These implants may have a better natural touch and feel in the perception of some patients. Patients in Palm Springs and Palms Desert can discuss their options with Dr. Q to determine the most appropriate choice of implants in their case.

Procedure

Breast augmentation is usually performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. The plastic surgeon will determine the right type of anesthesia for a patient, depending on the extent of procedure, patient’s health condition and status, and other factors. The procedure begins by the placement of an incision, and the implants are placed inside through the incision. The surgeon will prepare a treatment plan in advance in close consultation with the patient. The type of incision and the location of the breast implants will be chosen at that time.

The incision may be placed within the curve below the breast, in the underarm, or around the areola. A skilled cosmetic surgeon will ensure that the incision is placed discreetly to hide the scars as best as possible. The decision on the type of incision will be taken after considering the patient’s unique body shape, the type of implants chosen, the extent of enlargement planned and the patient’s personal needs.

The implant placement can be done under the chest muscle or between the chest muscle and breast tissue. Again, the choice of implant location will depend on various factors. Dr. Q discusses various aspects involved with both types of placements with her patients in Palm Springs and Palm Desert. The success of breast augmentation cosmetic surgery depends to an extent on the right decisions made in terms of incision, implant location, and the choice of implants.

Recovery

Post-surgical recovery period will vary from one patient to another, but most patients will recover within one to two days following the surgery. Initial results of the surgery will be visible immediately, and complete results can be seen once the swelling and bruising subsides. Most patients can resume their normal activities and outside work within 10 to 14 days. Vigorous exercise and heavy lifting activities should, however, be avoided until the recovery is complete. Any or the incision marks will fade and reach their final appearance (actually, virtually non-appearance) in a few months.
