Sientra Breast Implants – Palm Springs | Palm Desert | Rancho Mirage

Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q) is a reputed plastic surgeon who has been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Q, as she is popularly known to her patients, provides state of the art cosmetic surgery treatments, including breast surgeries. Patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert and surrounding communities have an opportunity to receive the latest procedures for the breast, body, and face from her. For her contributions as a dedicated cosmetic surgeon, she has also been featured in national publications, including New Beauty Magazine and Plastic Surgery Practice.

Breast Augmentation

Augmentation mammaplasty or breast augmentation surgery is an effective plastic surgery procedure to enhance the size, volume and fullness of breasts. The procedure involves placement of saline or silicone gel based breast implants in the desired size, shape, and texture to achieve fuller breasts. One of the key decisions to make in a breast implant cosmetic surgery is to choose between saline and silicone implants. Both types of implants are approved by the FDA, and are widely accepted by patients.

Dr. Q explains the pros and cons of both types of implants to her patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert and nearby areas. As an experienced plastic surgeon for breast surgeries, she is the best position to recommend the most appropriate implants in accordance with the patient’s aesthetic needs. She will also consider the patient’s breast anatomy and whether the procedure is needed for cosmetic reasons or as a reconstructive surgery. Saline implants are FDA approved for women in the age group of 18 and above, while silicone implants are approved for women in the age group of 22 and above.

Advanced Sientra Implant Treatment with Dr. Q

Dr. Q introduced the cutting-edge Sientra breast implant technology to her office in the second half of 2013. Sientra is one of the latest innovations in silicone gel based breast implants, which can provide a more natural look and feel to the breasts. The lifespan of the implants may also be higher with this superior quality of implants. Sientra implants are made of Highly Cohesive Silicone Gel, which mimics the natural breast tissue most closely.

As an experienced cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Q explains to her patients in Palm Springs and Palm Desert the benefits of Sientra technology over others. However, if the patient’s primary concern is to choose more biocompatible implants, then she may recommend saline implants because in case of rupture, the saline solution will bio-integrate with the body. Therefore, the final choice of implants lies with the patient only.

Low Rupture Rates

The risk of implant rupture is, in any case, minimized with the high quality Sientra breast implants. Sientra has one of the lowest rupture rates because of its unique high-strength cohesive silicone gel. Compared to the traditional silicone implants, cohesive silicone gel is more viscous and stays in place in most cases, even if the implant shell ruptures. In fact, one can actually cut Sientra implant into two halves and yet the gel would stay in place and not move out to other parts of the body.

Sientra implants are based on the innovative Gummy Bear breast implant technology. This advanced quality includes a specialized silicone gel that delivers superior cohesive strength and suppleness that makes it more natural in terms of appearance, touch, and feel. In terms of aesthetics and natural feel, Sientra implants score an edge over saline implants. Patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert and other areas can consult with Dr. Q to make an informed choice about breast implants. The FDA approved Sientra implants are provided exclusively by trained or board certified plastic surgeons only.

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.

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 mirage Patients 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.

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

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.
