Plastic Surgery is on the Rise

There is continued growth in Plastic Surgery as reported in the latest American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ statistics. This trend is definitely noticeable in my Walnut Creek Plastic Surgery Practice, as more and more patients are seeking the advice of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and scheduling their cosmetic procedures with confidence and excitement. Most of my patients desire breast enhancement, facial rejuvenation and body contouring, to name a few of the procedures offered.

Nationwide, a 6% increase for reconstructive surgery and 7% increase for cosmetic surgery was reported by the ASPS. There is large overlap of these often complimentary classifications, but the 2025 distribution of surgeries is consistent with previous years.

Liposuction is an outpatient surgical procedure that uses a cannula (a thin hollow tube with a rounded tip that has holes on the sides) to suction pockets of fat and reshape your body.

Also called Liposculpture, the procedure has the advantage of using small incisions to remove relatively large volumes of fat, from specific areas, with a relatively short recovery period.

To facilitate the safe and predictable removal of fat, Tumescent Fluid is injected into the fat prior to aspiration. This technique decreases post-operative discomfort, allows for the smoother removal of fat and minimizes bruising.

Blepharoplasty (Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery) is a relatively short, outpatient surgical procedure that contours the upper or lower eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat. It corrects hooded upper eyelids and under-eye bags, with the goal of providing a more rested appearance. When excess skin is obstructing the visual field before surgery, blepharoplasty provides improved peripheral vision. While most patients experience minimal pain with cosmetic eyelid surgery, it can take a couple of weeks to recover from the normal amount of bruising and swelling.

Top 10 Blepharoplasty FAQs

Today, I review the top ten most commonly asked questions about Eyelid Surgery. While there is no substitute for an in-person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, I try to provide some ground-work for your journey from initial consideration to completion of your Blepharoplasty.

Summer is upon us, and we all want to look good. As the temperature rises, we cover up a little less, and shed those winter weight gains. For men with gynecomastia, disproportionate enlargement of the breasts, weight loss is often not enough.

About 2/3rd’s of men develop some breast tissue at adolescence. For half these men. it never goes away. The amount of breast development varies, For some men it’s as small lumps under the nipple. For others, the result is moobs, breast that are hard to hide, even in clothing.

Gynecomastia Reduction surgery is a cosmetic procedure that removes the excess breast tissue, restoring the masculine physique. It is a short, outpatient procedure which I perform frequently to help men feel good about their bodies.

If you are bothered by “man boobs” consider a private consultation to learn what can be done for you. In the San Francisco Bay Area call (925) 943-6353, and learn about the options for Male Breast Reduction.

The Mommy Makeover remains one of the most commonly performed Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Procedure combinations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, on the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Blog, I answer the top 10 Mommy Makeover FAQs (frequently asked questions).

1 – What is a Mommy Makeover?

What is a Mommy Makeover? – The procedure is actually two procedures: one enhances the breasts while the other addresses the abdomen. Since both the belly and breasts are affected by pregnancy, this combination of repairs is coined the Mommy Makeover; however, the combination is also frequently used after weight loss for women and men (Daddy Do-over).

2 – Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

For the answer to this, and there rest of the Mommy Makeover top ten frequently asked questions check out the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Blog:

More and more patients are using GLP-1 medications to successfully lose weight. The advantage of GLP-1 treatment is the ability to maintain weight loss and improve the associated medical conditions, like diabetes and hypertension, that can lead to complications. Since this class of drugs is relatively new, the risks are still being worked out.

Many patients seek body contouring procedures for loose skin after successful weight loss from GLP-1 treatment, therefore it is important to further examine these novel weight loss therapies. What are GLP-1 medications, and how do they affect cosmetic plastic surgery are what we will discuss today on the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Blog.
