Los Angeles Smartlipo Triplex™ Testimonial

Procedure: Smartlipo Triplex™ of Chest

“The ability to make someone like myself comfortable with surgery is a gift; Maggie and Lisa have that gift. All three of you ladies (Dr. Petti, Maggie and Lisa) made me feel like nothing was happening with our conversations involving myself and all of you with our personal and everyday talk. Each person in that room has their own personality, yet you all mix so well. Keep it up and Dr. Petti, don’t get rid of your staff because each one of them was a treat to meet.”

Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Discusses Facial Volumizer

plastic, surgery, surgeon, los, angeles, torrance, ca

Dr. Petti discusses Minimally Invasive Facial Volumizer Sculptra

According to a recent study from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a facelift can make patients look 12 years younger. At her Los Angeles plastic surgery practice, Dr. Christine Petti discusses her patients’ desire for minimally invasive alternatives to the facelift, including the innovative facial volumizer, Sculptra® Aesthetic.

A recent study in the February issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), records that patients who have undergone a facelift rate themselves as appearing an average of 12 years younger[1]. As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Christine Petti says despite this recent finding, a number of her patients still desire minimally invasive alternatives to the traditional facelift.

In light of the ASPS study, and the increasing popularity of minimally invasive procedures highlighted in the most recent statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)[2], Dr. Petti says Sculptra ® Aesthetic often provides a viable solution to her patients’ expectations. Sculptra ® Aesthetic is an innovative facial volumizer that can create a younger, more natural-looking appearance with minimal recovery time because of its ability to stimulate collagen production and smooth facial creases and wrinkles. The treatment can also be effective for adding volume to facial features, such as the cheeks or the areas surrounding the eyes, that may have taken on a hollow appearance.

Another widely used method of minimally invasive skin and facial rejuvenation at Dr. Petti’s practice is laser resurfacing. She says the Smart Skin Affirm fractional carbon dioxide laser peel is often effective at smoothing out wrinkles that surgical procedures may not address. Dr. Petti adds that she uses fractional laser peels to refresh the skin of patients that have undergone previous surgical procedures. Ultimately, Dr. Petti says determining the correct procedure requires listening to a patient’s cosmetic enhancement desires so she is able to customize the treatment to their specific goals and expectations.

Dr. Petti’s Experience with SmartSkin CO2™ LaserSkinRenewal™

I just had a SmartSkin CO2™ LaserSkinRenewal™ to my Face, Neck and Chest! My skin had sun damage that mostly presented as pigmentation, and my neck and chest were beginning to get that wrinkled look with necklace neck wrinkles, so it was time!

I am so happy that I did this, as now my skin is clear with no makeup and my neck and chest skin is tight! This is exactly what I wanted.

It is great to be a patient and experience first hand the powerful effect of the fractional skin resurfacing technology-first hand.

This definitely makes me a better surgeon, to be a “patient”. My nurse Linette and I decided on the setting, and we used the new MultiPulse technology, so I had a comfortable, and fast peel. It took approximately 5 days for ~ 90 percent of my skin to peel and before I was presentable to the public. I never used any pain medications, just Advil and our post-laser skin care regimen made it easy to heal. I got a lot of work done from my home, so I made great use of my downtime.

I am amazed at the difference between this fractionated CO2 peel and the old ablative CO2 laser peels of the 90′s. What a great technological advancement-no wonder it is called “SmartSkin”!

I am planning on using intermittent SmartSkin CO2™ LaserSkinRenewal™ laser peels to keep my skin looking clear, smooth, tight and natural.
