Los Angeles Plastic Surgery Practice Offering Economical Facial Rejuvenation Plan

Los Angeles, CA — With the wide range of cosmetic treatments and products on the market designed to enhance and tighten skin on the face, choosing a plan that is targeted for one’s individual needs without breaking the bank can often be a challenge. Dr. Christine Petti, a plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, recommends several procedures that can offer economical solutions to loose, tired-looking skin and facial lines with minimal to no downtime.

At her Los Angeles plastic surgery practice, Dr. Petti has proposed a facial rejuvenation plan combining cosmetic procedures to provide effective results in the treatment of aging skin on the face. Dr. Petti says selecting the right nonsurgical enhancements for each patient’s personal aesthetic goals can save money and reduce downtime and risks associated with surgical procedures.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the total number of minimally invasive procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic dwarfs the number of surgical enhancements performed by approximately 10 million, based on statistics from 2010. While the study shows both surgical and nonsurgical aesthetic enhancements are on the rise, Dr. Petti says more patients at her practice are taking advantage of the minimal recovery time and high-quality results associated with procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or laser skin resurfacing in Los Angeles.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of non-invasive procedures at her practice, Dr. Petti says she helps patients create a personalized treatment plan that targets specific areas of a patient’s face to correct signs of aging and restore youthful vibrancy to skin. By combining certain procedures with the skill and experience of a board-certified plastic surgeon, she adds that patients can cut down on the cost of aesthetic treatment as well as the downtime from work and normal activities.

For her Los Angeles facial rejuvenation patients, Dr. Petti says she recommends dermal fillers such as Sculptra® Cosmetic, a facial volume enhancement for restoring youthful contour; Juvederm®, an injectable gel for smoothing skin and facial lines; and Restylane®, a filler designed to add fullness to lips. She says patients can also opt for laser skin resurfacing procedures like Laser Genesis, Smartskin® Laser Skin Rejuvenation, and Portrait® Plasma Skin Resurfacing, all targeted to treat damaged skin and reveal a fresh, younger-looking complexion.

Regardless of whether patients are looking for a combination of non-invasive facial enhancements or a more dramatic change in their appearance from surgery, Dr. Petti says she urges all potential patients to consult with a qualified and dedicated plastic surgeon before undergoing any procedure. She also says through the hands of a skilled and passionate surgeon, patients can experience the benefits of confidence and youth that can be available from cosmetic procedures.

Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Discusses Cellulaze on The Doctors

CBS The Doctors Features Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Dr. Christine Petti to Discuss Cellulite Reduction

Dr. Christine Petti has announced she will be appearing on the CBS network television show The Doctors to discuss Cellulaze®, an innovative minimally-invasive treatment for cellulite reduction recently approved by the FDA. Having played an integral role in the clinical trials for Cellulaze, Dr. Petti and her center for plastic surgery in Los Angeles recently began offering the procedure as an effective way to reduce the appearance of cellulite and smooth skin.

The Doctors, a CBS network television show offering medical advice to its viewers, will be airing a new episode featuring Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Christine Petti on an advanced procedure targeted to eliminate or reduce the appearance of cellulite. Developed by Cynosure, the treatment is called Cellulaze® and was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a minimally-invasive, laser-assisted therapy for cellulite reduction that increases the elasticity, thickness, and smoothness of skin. Dr. Petti, who served as one of five surgeons in the country involved in the clinical trials of Cellulaze, will be demonstrating how the procedure works and revealing the results of one of her patients who recently underwent treatment.

Cellulaze is performed by inserting a tiny laser fiber beneath the skin in order to heat and disrupt herniated pockets of fat and release fibrous bands that dimple skin. The treatment also assists in the stimulation of collagen to increase the depth and tone of skin for a smoother look. Dr. Petti says the entire procedure takes approximately one to one and a half hours and results should be visible within a few weeks, although full skin tightening and cellulite reduction may continue developing over the following months. She also says added benefits of the Cellulaze therapy are the quick recovery and minimal bruising that occur after treatment. “Cellulaze is an effective and one-of-a-kind answer to a woman’s battle against cellulite. As the old adage goes, men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Women are anatomically different: the architecture of the skin, fat and fibrous bands are different in women. Cellulaze is the only treatment that targets this special anatomy so the anatomy of cellulite can be changed, therefore creating a smoother skin surface.”

After having had the opportunity to observe the benefits of the unique cellulite treatment in Los Angeles for some time, Dr. Petti says she is confident in the results and hopes to share her findings with viewers of the CBS show. She adds that she is excited about the chance to introduce more patients to the effective procedure and help patients achieve a confident, healthy body. “’The Doctors’ TV program is the perfect health education platform for me to provide women with a veritable source of information on a dreadful and depressing problem-cellulite-that plagues women of all ages, body and skin types. ‘The Doctors’ is always at the forefront of credible health-related information, and it is a privilege for me to have this forum to relay vital information to women about this revolutionary Cellulaze treatment for cellulite.”

New FDA-Approved Treatment for Cellulite Now Available at Los Angeles Plastic Surgery Practice

plastic, surgeon, surgery, cellulite, reduction, cellulaze, los, angeles, ca

Los Angeles Plastic Surgery Practice Offering Recently FDA-Approved Cellulite Treatment

Following recent approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. Christine Petti has announced she will be offering Cellulaze, an innovative minimally-invasive anti-cellulite procedure, to patients at her practice looking to diminish fat pockets and increase elasticity of skin. As one of five surgeons in the U.S. who conducted the clinical trial for Cellulaze, Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Petti says she is excited about its release and hope patients will take advantage of its proven effectiveness in toning and body contouring in Los Angeles.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved the latest laser treatment device Cellulaze as the first minimally invasive solution for treating the physiological structure of cellulite in women. Developed by Cynosure, Inc., Cellulaze utilizes laser fiber and heating technology to reduce cellulite, or fat deposits beneath the surface of skin around the hips, thighs, and buttocks. Christine Petti, MD, one of five clinical trial participants in the United States involved in the testing of Cellulaze, has now unveiled the product at her practice for plastic surgery in Los Angeles and says she is excited about the proven results in body sculpting and skin tightening for her patients. As part of the research phase and FDA approval of the device, Dr. Petti says she has seen dramatic improvements in cellulite reduction with Cellulaze.

Targeting herniated pockets of fat beneath the skin, the Cellulaze procedure requires one treatment and results are typically visible within a few weeks, although the most significant results may continue to develop over a few months following the procedure. Dr. Petti says the procedure is performed by inserting a tiny laser fiber under the skin to heat and disrupt the fat, release fibrous bands that dimple skin, and stimulate collagen production. While non-surgical procedures cannot substitute for the results possible with a surgical procedure such as tummy tuck in Los Angeles, she says Cellulaze offers patients a minimally-invasive treatment for cellulite with little to no downtime and effective results.

Dr. Petti says she hopes the new procedure will provide patients at her practice yet another alternative for sculpting their figure and improving self confidence. She adds that as patients consider the number of cosmetic options available for enhancing their appearance, she urges them to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon before undergoing any aesthetic procedure such as Cellulaze in Los Angeles.

Restylane® Now FDA-Approved for Lip Enhancement

Here at Aesthetic Accents Cosmetic and Laser Surgery Center, Dr. Christine Petti utilizes a variety of injectable fillers to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Restylane® has proven to be one of the best, offering natural-looking facial rejuvenation with long-lasting results. Now, Restylane® can work its magic for lip enhancement, adding volume to the lips for a more youthful, sensual appearance. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recently approved Restylane® for use in lip augmentation procedures in patients age 21 and older. This is an exciting development for our patients, and Dr. Petti is happy to add this effective dermal filler to the list of lip enhancement options at Aesthetic Accents.

FDA-approved since 2003 to treat moderate-to-severe wrinkles along the face, Restylane® can now be used to plump up the lips, which can have a positive effect on your overall facial appearance. Restylane® is composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring substance in the human body, and typically does not require an allergy test before treatment. During the FDA’s clinical trials to study Restylane’s® effect on the upper and lower lips, the organization found that the treatment was highly effective for lip augmentation with results that lasted up to six months!

Restylane® can be a great way to add volume and new contour to the lips, and the treatment can be performed in less than 30 minutes with little to no downtime necessary after the procedure.

Contact Dr. Petti today to schedule a consultation for lip augmentation with Restylane®!

Plastic Surgeon in Los Angeles on Restoring Your Pre-Baby Body with a Mommy Makeover

plastic, surgeon, surgery, mommy, makeover, los, angeles, ca

Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Says Mommy Makeovers Can Offer Rejuvenated Appearance to Mothers

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reports that over 325,000 mommy makeover procedures were performed nationally in 2009 among women ages 20-39. Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Christine Petti says she expects that number will only continue to rise as mommy makeovers offer patients the chance to look their best and feel confident during motherhood through a combination of cosmetic enhancement procedures.

At her Los Angeles plastic surgery practice, Dr. Christine Petti says she has seen a significant increase in the number of patients electing a mommy makeover procedure to enhance their post-baby body. She says as awareness of the procedure increases, patients are becoming more comfortable with making changes to their body that can help improve their confidence and self-image. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), plastic surgeons performed more than 325,000 mommy makeovers nationally in 2009 amongst women between the ages of 20-39. The ASPS statistics also show that 62% of moms say they would consider a procedure if cost were not an issue.

Often combining breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction, a mommy makeover is a comprehensive procedure designed to combat the effects of childbirth on a woman’s body. “Moms work day and night caring for their beloved baby, sacrificing their personal time, as well as their physical and psychological well-being. Quickly, this lack of attention to self can lead to insurmountable alterations in their physical appearance and self esteem. It is difficult to ‘do it all.’”

By lifting the breast, sculpting the waist and stomach, and tightening skin, Dr. Petti says the treatment can offer patients restored vitality in their appearance and a renewed confidence in their body, without sacrificing the joys and investments of motherhood. Dr. Petti also adds that through providing procedures such as a mommy makeover in Los Angeles, she hopes to help her patients embrace their own femininity with a more positive outlook on their physical appearance. “Once a mother returns to her pre-pregnancy body weight, the body can still remain ‘out of shape,’ and a mommy makeover may be the only solution to return a mother’s body to her pre-pregnancy state. This is not vain surgery, it is restorative and vital in many cases, so it is something worth investigating to make the right choices and seek the best opinions from surgeons whom not only have good technical skills, but are also warm, understanding, and ethical.”

Whether patients are choosing to combine procedures through a mommy makeover or undergo a single enhancement, Dr. Petti says cosmetic surgery is growing in popularity and approval at her practice; an observation confirmed by the latest study from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). She adds that as plastic surgery continues to increase in demand, patients should be sure to consult with a qualified and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon before undergoing any procedure.

“The subject of mommy makeovers has never truly been unpopular; however, in the past our society conducted these conversations in closed settings because the topic could be considered taboo. Today, mothers and families are open to discussions about the changes a mother experiences: husbands and even children are privy to discussions about what happens to a woman’s body after pregnancy, and how difficult it can be for a mother to truly ‘get it back.’ This combination of procedures is discussed in doctor’s offices and family homes, in magazines and newspapers, on the radio, TV shows, and on the internet, so there is a lot of information out there.”

Because of the amount of information available, along with the complexity of combining several cosmetic procedures, Dr. Petti urges anyone considering a mommy makeover, or any form of aesthetic enhancement, to seek the opinion of a board-certified plastic surgeon. “Regardless of the procedure, the patient must find the best resource, based on good medicine, good surgery and excellent patient communications to find a plastic surgeon whom can evaluate and execute in such a way as to realistically meet their individual goals and expectations.”

Dr. Christine Petti graduated summa cum laude from St. Mary’s College of Notre Dame University, after which she received a research grant from the National Institute of Health for a fellowship at the Department of Pharmacology at Georgetown University.

Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Sends Simple Luxuries to Troops in Afghanistan

Plastic Surgeon in Los Angeles Sends Care Packages to Troops Overseas

Dr. Christine Petti is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, CA. She recently began sending care packages to a group of US Troops serving in Afghanistan, after meeting a member of their company and growing to appreciate his dedication to his mission, his honesty, and his sense of humor.

Dr. Christine Petti has enlisted patients and staff at her Los Angeles plastic surgery practice to support troops serving abroad in Afghanistan. After meeting John Homrig, a member of the US Military, Dr. Petti says she wanted to support him and his fellow troops by sending a care package filled with the simple luxuries often taken for granted and otherwise unavailable overseas.

After meeting Homrig through a professional contact, Dr. Petti says his honesty and motivation caught her attention as she grew to appreciate his dedication to US Military service and his sense of humor. “When he told me he was going overseas to Afghanistan, I knew I wanted to support him and provide him with a link to those he serves and those that love him and respect the work he is doing to protect this country.”

The chance to support the troops is a profound privilege for Dr. Petti. “Giving to our troops is a very small act in relation to the daily, unselfish sacrifice each troop makes.” With plans to send a number of care packages in the future, Dr. Petti says supporting US troops serving abroad is not only important to her, but also her staff and patients. “My professional staff and patients all believe it is vital to send our troops packages that contain items they will enjoy and will not have access to in their location to serve as reminders of home.”

Silicone Breast Implants are Safe, says the U.S. FDA

Dr. Christine Petti has long noted the value and safety of silicone breast implants for her patients considering breast augmentation in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. Now, one of the top health organizations in the country is reiterating its belief that silicone breast implants are safe.

Up until a few years ago, silicone breast implants had been the subject of controversy. From 1992 until 2006, this particular type of implant had been pulled from the marketplace by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in order to conduct further testing for safety. After 14 years of rigorous testing, silicone breast implants were deemed safe by the FDA for breast augmentation patients aged 22 and over, and breast reconstruction patients of any age. Since their re-introduction to the market, silicone breast implants have become more and more popular, and advances in technology have made them even better.

Recently, the FDA held discussions and heard testimony from a variety of people in the medical community, as well as drug manufacturers and members of the public, to follow up on the safety of silicone breast implants since they again became widely available, and the conclusion that they are safe was re-affirmed. An article from Gardiner Harris of the New York Times cites a chief scientist for the FDA, Dr. William Maisel, as saying that the organization felt the implants were safe before these latest meetings, and that it continues to feel that the implants are safe after the discussions. He also said that, although there are still risks of complications with silicone breast implants, women should be assured that the FDA believes that the implants are safe. Reports of the hearings noted that Dr. Maisel also said he agrees with some groups present at the meeting who stated that some makers of the implants did not do adequate follow-up studies once the implants were re-introduced to the market. Dr. Maisel said post-approval studies will continue and the FDA is committed to making sure follow-up rates improve. There was also consensus that the requirement for M.R.I. scans on a periodic basis in order to detect complications such as “silent rupture” in silicone breast implants should be re-evaluated in cases of healthy, asymptomatic patients, as many experts felt the requirement that patients get the M.R.I. screening three years after placement of implants, and then every two years after that, was unrealistic.
Overall, Dr. Petti believes that the recent findings by the FDA are consistent with her experience providing patients with silicone breast implants, giving women a safe, natural-looking breast augmentation with beautiful results.
If you would like to discuss silicone breast implants and other options for breast augmentation with Dr. Petti, we invite you to contact us today. Dr. Petti will be happy to answer your questions and address any concerns you may have.

Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Undergoes Facial Procedure

Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Discusses Facial Rejuvenation Procedure

At her Los Angeles plastic surgery practice, Dr. Christine Petti discusses the SmartSkin® Laser Skin Renewal procedure, as well as her own experience with the revolutionary procedure at her Aesthetic Accents practice. Dr. Petti says this minimally-invasive facial rejuvenation procedure provides dramatic aesthetic enhancement results, without the downtime required of more traditional procedures, such as the facelift in Los Angeles.

Dr. Christine Petti is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, CA. As she strives to create positive patient experiences with each visit, she says she must remain dedicated to the latest advancements in plastic surgery to continue to offer her patients the safest and most effective cosmetic enhancement results. As part of this commitment, Dr. Petti recently began offering the SmartSkin® laser skin rejuvenation in Los Angeles. She adds that she is so confident this procedure will satisfy her patients’ desires to look and feel younger that she underwent the procedure herself.

The SmartSkin® Laser Skin Renewal uses a combination of rejuvenation techniques, including Micro Ablative CO2 technology and a scanning delivery system that not only delivers skin resurfacing, but also encourages collagen production. While Dr. Petti says one of the most significant changes in the way this procedure is performed is the reduction in recovery time and discomfort, she also says the combination of procedures provides better and more immediate results.

With more than 9.3 million cosmetic enhancement procedures performed in 2010, 83% of which were nonsurgical in nature [1], Dr. Petti says the most recent statistics show patients are still searching for less-invasive ways to achieve a younger aesthetic. She adds that she believes SmartSkin® Laser Skin Renewal is the procedure patients have been looking for because of its ability to address a wide range of concerns, including wrinkles, acne scars, sun-damaged skin, and undereye circles.
