Body Contouring – Surgical and Non-surgical procedures [VIDEO]

Tag Archives: Palm Springs Plastic Surgeon

Body contouring can be achieved through plastic surgery as well as innovative non-surgical approaches to make a person appear more attractive and youthful. Dr. Suzanne Quardt is an experienced plastic surgeon providing this treatment to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and surrounding areas.

Aesthetic goals with body contouring may be achieved through a single cosmetic surgery procedure such as liposuction, or a combination of surgical and non-surgical treatments. Patients who are keen to avoid surgical options may still achieve fat reduction in specific areas of the body through unique non-invasive treatments such as CoolSculpting.

Need for Body Contouring

Patients with stable and moderate body weight are usually outstanding and fantastic candidates for body contouring, if they are bothered by the appearance of specific fat pockets or loose skin in certain areas. These conditions may not respond easily to diet and exercise. Fat deposits may occur not only due to a fat-rich diet or lack of exercise, but also due to hereditary and other factors. Similarly, loose skin may occur following weight loss, pregnancy, sun exposure, or other causes.

In all such cases, the cosmetic surgeon may recommend body contouring as an effective aesthetic solution to restore a more attractive appearance. Significant improvement in shape and proportion of the body can be achieved with body contouring plastic surgery procedures. Typical areas of the body that can be treated effectively with various body contouring techniques include the abdomen, breasts, upper arms, neck, back, hips, thighs, buttocks, flanks, knees, and ankles.

Liposuction

As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Q may recommend liposuction to suitable candidates in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and nearby areas who are looking for reduction of unwanted fat deposits in specific, localized areas of the body. Liposuction is an effective surgical approach to treat stubborn fat pockets in areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, neck, back and arms. Liposuction cosmetic surgery procedure may be performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the circumstances of the case.

The surgeon will begin the procedure by making tiny incisions in the targeted areas, through which a slender tube or cannula is inserted to loosen up the deep layers of fat. Once the unwanted fat is dislodged, a syringe or suction vacuum is used to suction out the fat. The incisions are closed with sutures or skin adhesives. Enhanced body contour becomes visible as the swelling and bruising in the treated area resolves over a few days.

CoolSculpting

If the patient is not keen to undergo a body contouring procedure with a cosmetic surgeon, an innovative non-invasive solution called CoolSculpting may be adopted. This treatment has become quite popular in recent years because of its inherent benefits in terms of safe, effectiveness, and no downtime involved.

Unlike laser or heat based fat reduction or skin tightening techniques, CoolSculpting uses an innovative cooling process to freeze off unwanted fat cells. The procedure employs a patented technique called cryolipolysis. It allows an individual to gain a slimmer and more even contour in a gradual and natural looking manner.

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 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.

Cost of a Liposuction – Palm Springs | Rancho Mirage | Palm Desert

Cost of a Liposuction - Palm Springs | Rancho Mirage | Palm DesertStubborn unwanted fat that doesn’t respond to rigorous exercise or diet plans, can be easily removed through a liposuction cosmetic surgery. The surgery typically caters to getting rid of excess fat in the neck, arms, breasts, abdomen, thighs, buttock and face, to give them a more desirable contour. Having said that, liposuction cannot be used to remove cellulite from the body, as it is only used to treat the excess fat. All said and done, the big question is, how much does a liposuction cost?

What’s the average cost of a liposuction?

Cost consideration are crucial when you’re working on a budget for your plastic surgery. While choosing a good plastic surgeon is probably where you’d want to start out, looking for an affordable surgery is just as important. Dr. Suzanne Quardt, an experienced plastic surgeon of Palm Springs, says that the cost of a liposuction surgery depends on a wide range of factors, which explains the discrepancy in its price across facilities. The costs are predominantly governed by the surgeon’s fee, anesthesiologist’s fee, surgical facility charges, pre-op test fees, cost of post-op garments and medications. The location and the experience of your cosmetic surgeon, are factors that cause a huge margin in the fee, while the liposuction technique used, affects it too.

Its average cost can range anywhere between $2000 and $7000. And this cost, corresponds to getting a liposuction done only in one area. The costs can increase by $1200-$4000, for every addition of another body part for the surgery. These costs don’t cover all the expenses though. You still need to take into account, the anesthesia fee, fee from lab tests and post-surgery garment fee, while estimating the total cost.

How to budget your liposuction surgery?

Some cosmetic surgeons provide package offers, which work out in a more cost-effective way, if you’re looking at getting a liposuction done in multiple areas. These deals provide a flat fee option for expenses that come from anesthesia fee and operating facility charges. This way, the patient can undergo the surgery in multiple areas, without individually paying out the additional charges each time.

Liposuction, like other plastic surgeries is usually not covered by insurance. If you’re undergoing a liposuction to aesthetically improve your appearance, your insurance company will not tend to the costs. But if it is performed to deal with medical conditions, such as lipoma, some insurance agencies might cover the expenses. Anyway, talk to your insurance agent for any clarifications on the same.

Benefits of a liposuction surgery

Liposuction helps in improving the body shape by getting rid of unwanted layers of fat. Health issues that stem from excess, unnecessary body fat, can be stopped through this. It is also considered to be a safe method, as it shows very few complications. While a healthy diet plan can help in keeping fat at bay, some areas may pose problems due to the presence of stubborn fat, which can be dealt with through a liposuction plastic surgery. Some individuals who undergo the procedure also report a reduction in the formation of cellulite after surgery, although the procedure doesn’t exclusively tend to cellulite.

Liposuction – Palm Springs | Rancho Mirage | Palm Desert

Liposuction - Palm Springs | Rancho Mirage | Palm DesertDo you dread looking into the mirror, scared to face up to the bulging layers of flab protruding from your body? Coping with flab issue can be quite daunting, but there’s a way out. If exercise regimes and diet alterations have come to no avail in your case, a liposuction could probably help. This cosmetic surgery helps in removing fat in the abdomen, breasts, hips, buttocks, thighs, neck, arms and face.

For whom is a liposuction beneficial?

Liposuction is a type of plastic surgery that can be used to remove excess fat deposits caused due to,

  • Heredity– cases where fat deposits cannot be reduced by resorting to strict diet regimes or exercise routines.
  • Lipoma– a benign tumor that can grow in size over time. Although liposuction is not the standard way of treating Lipoma, it can be done in some cases.
  • Gynecomastia– excessive tissue growth forming breasts, in men.

The liposuction procedure

Liposuction can be performed using any of these techniques,which will be decided by the plastic  surgeon based on what best suits the patient.

Traditional liposuction: The cosmetic surgeon first makes incisions in the area where the fat is to be removed. He then injects a fluid containing an anesthetic, salt solution and epinephrine, into the region where the incisions are made. The fluid helps in sedating the patient, along with reducing the blood loss and bruising. The plastic surgeon then inserts a hollow tube called cannula, which is constantly pumped to loosen the surrounding fat cells. He then uses a syringe or a surgical vacuum to drain out the fat cells with the help of a cannula.

Ultrasound liposuction: This liposuction method is FDA approved. The surgeon starts by making a few incisions in the problematic area. He then applies ultrasonic vibrations through an emitter, or a cannula that is ultrasonic in nature, to cause the fat to breakdown. Following this, he removes the fat cells through a vacuum/ syringe or cannula.

Laser liposuction: This FDA approved method employs laser fibers to heat the fat cells. The surgeon makes incisions in the treatment area. He injects a fluid where the incisions have been made, just as in the case of a traditional liposuction. He then inserts a laser fiber so as to loosen the excess fat cells. He removes the fat cells by means of a surgical vacuum or cannula.

Post procedure recovery

Once the surgery is completed, the patient may have to stay at the surgical facility for the next few hours or overnight. The treated area will be bandaged and you may have to wear a compression garment, to minimize any bruising or swelling. The incision might have drain pipes attached to them, to remove excess blood or fluid, which the doctor will soon remove. The surgically operated area is also likely to show some bruising/ swelling, which should reduce in the following weeks. It may take anywhere between a few weeks to a few months for you to completely recover. Dr. Suzanne Quardt, who is an experienced plastic surgeon of Palm Springs, says that the healing time varies based on the technique used, amount of fat cells removed, heath, age and such.

Mommy Makeover – Palm Desert | Palm Springs | Rancho Mirage

Dr. Suzanne Quardt, affectionately known as Dr. Q among her patients, is a board certified plastic surgeon. She provides advanced cosmetic surgery procedures of the breast, body and face to her patients in and around Palm Springs and Palm Desert. She has earned several recognitions during the course of her career as a cosmetic surgeon, and has been featured in a number of national publications such as the New Beauty Magazine and the Plastic Surgery Practice.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

One of the most comprehensive procedures that Dr. Q, as a plastic surgeon, provides to her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, and surrounding communities is mommy makeover. A mommy makeover is essentially a combination of two or more cosmetic surgery procedures to help improve the overall physical appearance of a woman. As the name suggests, the procedure is performed primarily on mothers who are keen to regain their pre-pregnancy figure.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can impact a mom’s appearance in several ways. Some moms gain excess weight or develop fat deposits in several areas of the body such as thighs, buttocks, waist, and arms. In some cases the breasts may experience loss of volume or may become excessively heavy or may sag. Some women may also develop excess fat and loose skin on the face and neck. An experienced cosmetic surgeon may recommend a mommy makeover procedure for most effective outcome in such cases.

Components of a Mommy Makeover

A fantastic and sparkling aspect about a mommy makeover procedure is that it is an entirely customized plastic surgery package, designed to match with the specific needs and aesthetic goals of a particular patient. The surgeon will decide the treatment approach and the best combination of procedures in close consultation with the patient. Some of the typical procedures that Dr. Q provides to her patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles and nearby areas as a part of a mommy makeover include the following:

Breast lift: This procedure is performed to raise drooping breasts following breastfeeding. It may also include repositioning of nipples and areolas to a raised location. The breasts will appear firmer and more youthful with a breast lift procedure.

Breast reduction: Following childbirth, many moms develop heavier breasts that may be disproportionate to the rest of the body. It may not only compromise the aesthetic appearance, but may also cause pain, discomfort and restriction of movements. Breast reduction surgery is an effective way to reduce excess fat, tissue, and skin from the breasts and reshape them to a smaller size.

Tummy Tuck: Abdominal area usually bears the maximum brunt of a pregnancy, and excess fats and loose skin may occur around the waist. Abdominoplsty or tummy tuck surgery can effectively remove excess fat and skin to help a mom achieve a flatter and firmer tummy.

Liposuction: In some cases, the mother may develop excess pockets of fat in specific areas of the body such as hips, thighs, tummy, breasts, arms, or neck. These stubborn fat deposits may not go away with exercise or diet. In such cases, the cosmetic surgeon may recommend liposuction as a part of a mommy makeover procedure.

Labiaplasty: Following childbirth, some mothers may be dissatisfied with the shape and appearance of the labia and vaginal area. Vaginal rejuvenation and improving the shape of labia is possible through labiaplasty. This surgery may be included as a part of a mommy makeover.

Other Possible Facets of this Process

Sometimes a plastic surgeon may also include facelift and eyelid surgery procedures also along with a mommy makeover to reduce the facial signs of aging. Non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers may also be used for facial rejuvenation.

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.
