Dr Maurice Sherman Talks About Cellulite – The Best Methods For Women & Body Sculpting

LipoSculpture Means Better Body Contouring

Body sculpting, skin tightening, and removing cellulite are the main goals in body contouring– but today- while there are lots of choices- Dr. Sherman says there are few very good choices. Liposculpture still has the best expected results for body sculpting. New techniques such as– use of laser or ultrasonic energy to loosen the fat – then using special instruments to disrupt the fat – then liposculpturing with smaller, delicate cannulas have proven their worth. The results to the patient – due to more gentle tissue treatment – means better, quicker recovery.  We can also create a much smoother finish.  We refer to this as the “SAFE” liposculpture technique (Saturation, Aspiration, Fat Equalization), and can be easily performed under awake local anesthesia. 

We know you have lots of choices for breast rejuvenation. Dr Sherman is in a class by himself because – he’s probably the most up-to-date cosmetic surgeon here in San Diego County. 

What, Exactly – Is Breast Rejuvenation?

Dr Sherman says, when we talk about breast rejuvenation – we mainly talk about re-contouring the breast through lifting and re-volumizing the breast – because – those are the two things lost with aging – especially  with pregnancy and breast feeding. The result is – a drooping or sagging of the breast – and loss of volume.  These can be corrected today, more easily and more successfully than in the past.

So – What’s New Here And Now – For Breast Lifting?

The type of lifts we do now – are much more consistent in their results – in other words – the breast is lifted and stays lifted without continued aging changes over the years. Reconstruction techniques today are much more structural and permanent. One of the things we do is support the bottom-half of the breast, something called the internal-bra suspension technique.    

If You’re a New Mom Or A Mom Who Just Wants To Look Better – Now’s The Time… 

Mommy makeover is the term we use for a combined approach at rejuvenating the breast and tummy area  – two areas most affected after pregnancies. We see quite a few mothers coming in that are concerned with loss breast volume and loss of breast tone. In addition – there is also loss of tone of the abdominal skin with stretch marks and fat collection in the lower abdomen.  Because of carrying a baby for nine months – there is  stretching of the abdominal muscles – causing women a somewhat unfavorable appearance of a bloated lower tummy. Today – safer techniques help us combine breast rejuvenation such as implants and lifts and perhaps – utilize the fat from an abominable plasty and use it to increase volume in their breast.  The fat cells have a tremendous amount of stem cells which can rejuvenate the upper chest.

 Dr Sherman Combines The Best Of Both – To Give You The Best Experience

The tummy tuck can be performed at the same time – because of new techniques –  such as avelar abdominoplasty. This is different because the healing is faster – there’s minamal swelling and virtual elimination of healing problems. With newer sutures and products to help scarring – you can heal much faster. You’ll feel pleased about your appearance much, much sooner . So – a mommy makeover from say – even a year ago – is much more improved. The recovery time is shortened , you’re walking the next day and back to work within a week.  Within a month – you’re back at the beach in your bikini.

Almost everyone wants nasal correction with a natural result. That means a nose that is aesthetic/handsome for a man and feminine for a women. Over the past years, we’ve moved away from something called the over-scooped out look or “operated” look. This was very prominent during the 70s and 80s, but not now – in fact, I take great pains not to have this result. 

The other unnatural look, is a super-tip fullness. That’s fullness that does not occur naturally. We want patients to associate with friends and family without noticing they had an enhancement. You may look better, but “they” don’t know why. We can also have in the nose tip itself, asymmetries such as points and knobs. A good rhinoplasty brings out everything else in the face, such as the eyes/eyelashes and skin, but interestingly not the nose. A good rhinoplasty fits the face. 

Smooth Nose

Another good by product of rhinoplasty is leaving the nose smoother. Especially the skin covering the bridge of the nose, where bumps and irregularities can show up. This natural skin cover can be thickened. This is some terrific technology called ADM material, that has been treated and can be used as a lining to the nasal skin. This produces a terrific and smooth nasal bridge. ADM material can also be used to build up a nose that perhaps has had trauma or have had previous rhinoplasty that wasn’t quite done right. Dr. Sherman says “no two noses are the same”.

 We have an aging population as baby boomers and Generation X hit their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. Something you may not realize is that the nose ages too. And, the nose ages in a particular fashion because it is dependent upon cartilage, which is part of the skeletal support of the nose, from the tip to about halfway up the nose.  Many believe the nose continues to grow, which is not correct.  In all of us, especially as we age, many things begin to age or droop and our nose is just one of those areas. The tip begins to sag or droop because our cartilage support wanes as we age.  

But Wait – You Say Your Nose Got Longer And Wider As You Aged?

No, not really.  The other thing that happens with age is, since cartilage forms the nasal tip – and, as they weaken, the tips tend to spread. As they widen, the tip looks wider and loses its sculptured appearance. As the tip goes down, the length of the nose tends to increase and enlarge, making the nose appear bigger. We think the nose is longer and wider – but really, the skin envelope is being stretched.

Effects Every One Of Us

A changing nose  effects 100% of us as we age. The structural Rhinoplasty technique strengthens the tip cartilages and gives it permanent support. The whole idea is to make the nasal tip look natural and appealing. Once we get a good result, we expect it to remain that way because of proper support.  The other factor is – you want a nose that makes you look good – but – you don’t want a nose on, say –  a 50-year-old, to look like a teenager.

If you believe your nose is drooping – or looks wider than you might like – Dr Sherman will discuss exactly what’s going on – and what can be done.Dr Sherman will take the time to give you a thorough opinion. Rhinoplasty and your nose, is part of his business.

Non-Surgical Breast Lifting

Along with these new uses for Ultherapy, we have a new method for non-surgical breast lifting. This is done by using Ultherapy on the upper part of the breast. Preliminary studies show results of anywhere from one to two centimeters of breast lift. With repeated procedures we hope to produce even better breast lifting results. Although these results are not equivalent to surgery, we feel that at the first signs of aging this is definitely effective to some degree.

We all know that aging and pregnancies have their effect on breast tissue. Ultherapy would be a way of counteracting the early stages of these changes. Anyone with significant breast aging is going to need surgery, but in the early stages for a mild amount of lifting, this is something definitely worthwhile to consider.

Ultherapy: Better Than Once Believed….

And here’s an update – Ulthera on the face produces even greater lifting and more skin tightening than ever thought possible. Here at Del Mar Cosmetic Medical Center our staff has had extensive training in advanced techniques. We feel confident that we can now produce results in the lower neck, face and temporal areas which gives a even more pronounced overall lifting and tightening effect to the apperance of the skin. So the exciting news is that Ulthera can not only be used for surgical breast lifting and smoothing of the decollete, but also for elbows, knees, lower neck as well as better skin tightening results in the face and temporal areas!

Dr Sherman says he’s very excited because of the capability of performing liposuction which is more thorough and produces a greater degree of skin contracture – and leaves the patient with a smoother body contour. The technique is advanced SAFE/Vaser-liposuction. Simply put – it ensures the smoothest result with maximum skin tightening. Who’s doing SAFE/Vaser Liposuction in San Diego? Only Dr Maurice Sherman.

Skin contracture – means the skin has to contract after you remove fat. It has to re-contour itself over the area of depleted volume. That can vary over skin/genetics and things like hormonal influence. There has always been an attempted to maximum the amount of skin contracture. Surgical incisions – can lead to scarring. And – in the past, lasers such as Smart Lipo were used to treat the skin – but that could lead to complications because of the laser heat. SAFE Vaser Liposuction only includes small, minimal surgical incisions which are cosmetically undetectable.  

The newer technique is a combination of the Vaser and fat disruption techniques. The Vaser stimulates skin contraction and loosens fibrous fat. The result is excellent – smoother skin and body contouring. It’s the best liposuction technique out there.

Somebody coming in to consider liposuction can consider SAFE Vaser Liposuction to be the best. This liposuction technique produces a nicer/smoother contour with maximum amount of skin contraction without surgery and Dr Sherman can now able to treat difficult areas from older liposuction techniques including scarring – or   those with very fibrous, stiff and fatty areas. These are areas such as love handles, male breast enlargement and more –  are now very approachable. Yes, skin creases disappear with this new lipo technique.

Revision Lipo – patients who have lived with less-then-ideal results from older liposuction can now be optimistic that this technique can make them look and feel their best.  SAFE Vaser Liposuction is new for 2012 – it’s the most up-to-date liposuction you can get today. If you’re considering liposuction – or you want Dr Sherman to take a look at your past liposuction procedure – something you were not entirely happy about – just go here – and ask about the SAFE Vaser Liposuction Special. Or call 858-350-8400. 

What Can Be Done after Quick Wait Loss? A Body Shape Update.

Recently, San Diego’s Dr Maurice Sherman attended an international meeting of doctors concerned with techniques and advances in body contouring that followed massive weight loss. “This is becoming more common and there’s much more awareness due to TV shows such as, ‘The Biggest Loser.’” Also, says Dr Sherman, because so-called bariatric medicine/surgery – (medicine and surgery for weight loss,) is becoming much more safe and mainstream. Insurance is now covering medical therapy because it increases quality of life with lifestyle, longevity and decreased medical problems such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure. “So, patients are given a new lease on life if they meet the indications  for undergoing some of these procedures such as lap bands and/or gastric stapling. The surgeries are being done with fast recovery times – and the safety of these procedures have vastly improved over 10 years ago.”  See “The Biggest Loser” Video:                                                                                                                                                       

Continues Dr Sherman: “Then we have the issue – when they lose 50 to 100 pounds and stabilize, they have a problem of skin laxity – stretching of the skin. Depending on the person, you’ll see problems in the inner/outer thighs, abdomen, loss of lift of the breast – and back of the upper chest. And arms (batwings) and with, with older patients – there’s also laxity issues. Surgical treatments are much more safer, they’re outpatient procedures and have minimal scarring. Overall – we’re seeing a tremendous increase in demand for these types of procedures.”

Dr Sherman says he’s one of the few in the San Diego area with experience and training in this type of procedure. “A good example is a combination of tummy tuck and liposuction – called the lipo-abdominoplasty  or Avelar abdominoplasty. Here, the patient heals very fast – and are up and on their feet basically the next day. The recovery is as good as having liposuction.”

Lots of folks didn’t know it – but when they read Dr. Sherman’s latest blog, he said that liposuction can be healthy for patients. That brings us to this update:

What Kind Of People Are Doing Liposuction/Sculpture?

Dr Sherman says text books used to talk about the ideal liposuction patient. A patient that was in good shape – not overweight – but had some mild areas of resistant fatty fullness resistant to diet and exercise. “And so, liposuction was excellent for those patients, because their skin tone was good and it wasn’t a major procedure – kind of like touch-up work.”

While that sounds wonderful – those patients have taken a back seat. For most top lipo doctors – “We now see patients who have overeaten and gradually weight has been added in the form of fat deposits.” Most of those deposits align themselves in superficial areas such as the abdomen, hips, flanks, thighs, arms – even breasts. “As long as the fatty deposits are superficial – they’re approachable with liposuction directly,” says Dr. Sherman.

Lipo Is Permanent

One of the main advantages of lipo – is that it is permanent.  ”Not only are we removing fat – but removing fat cells. Those don’t reproduce after a certain age – around early adulthood – affecting a permanent change.”

Other types of liposuction patients are those who have lost a tremendous amount of weight through diet or exercise or have gone through some sort of bariatric  surgery. Gastric stapling, gastric bypass or even a lap-band procedure, fall into this category. After a significant amount of weight loss, there’s stabilization. These patients tend to get liposuction to continue their improved body image – or perhaps combine further fat removal with a body contouring procedure such as a tummy tuck, arm lift or breast lift

Liposuction Can Be Used In  Breast Reduction

The other interesting segment of the lipo population – is older female patients who have unfortunately, developed a lot of weight in the breast. “We can do a wonderful job in reduction of the breast through liposuction only – and relieve the back pain or shoulder pain without reconstructive surgery of the breast with its inherent scarring or distortion of the breast shape.”

The last area of liposuction patient we see, particularly this time of year is bride grooms, members of the bridal party and their families – in order to look their best. You want to do this about a month before the big ceremony.

So overall – the amount of different patient categories that fit-in with liposuction have signicantly expanded. No longer are we looking at the patient who wants minimal liposuction.

Do you see yourself here? You’re in luck. Dr Sherman has a Springtime lipo special just for you or a friend/family member.

So says Dr Maurice Sherman, Who Has Been Performing Liposuction As Long As Its Been Around!

Did you know that liposuction procedures in San Diego and the world have been around over 30 years? It’s still the only consistent, permanent fat-loss treatment that we have. There have been numerous modalities over the years to make it more safe and consistent – including faster recovery time. Patients today can go back to normal activity within several days. After the second day, you’re up and walking without discomfort.

Liposuction And Good Health

San Diego Plastic Surgeon Dr Maurice Sherman tells his liposculpture/liposuction patients that recent studies now reveal that lipo provides health benefits particularly with your body’s metabolic processes –  giving a dramatic increase in your body’s ability to handle cholesterol and fats after liposuction, and indeed – liposuction can be instrumental in cutting back the body’s triglyceride fatty acid level – as well as improving sugar control for diabetes or perhaps preventing – diabetes. “We have tremendous proof via studies that show there is metabolic improvement with liposuction.  It can help your body return to a healthier state – particularly if you combine it with more exercise and better/healthy diet,” says Dr Sherman. 

Don’t Equate Liposuction With Weight Loss – Here’s Why…

Dr Sherman says – it’s a mistake to equate fat loss with liposuction. Yes, you will lose some weight after your procedure. But, liposuction does not cause much loss of weight. “For every liter of fat that is removed, we only expect to see about a two-pound weight loss. But, liposuction increases body sculpting/body shape/body contour –and the way you fit in clothes. You’ll have the appearance that you’ve lost a lot more weight. It’s not weight loss surgery – it’s body contouring.”

Liposuction Is Safe And A Relatively Quick Procedure

More good news about Del Mar Cosmetic liposuction – is that it is performed without general anesthesia – you are awake and comfortable. Because of the ability to perform liposuction under minimal sedation – its safety has improved dramatically. Even more exciting is that liposuction contains a significant amount of stem cells, which can be stored. These cells don’t age – and can be used to treat arthritis, heart disease and more – later on.
