Burbank Plastic Surgery Burbank - Dr. Orloff

Sculptra works to restore your youthful appearance naturally. Collagen play an important role in keeping our skin smooth and wrinkle free. As we age the collagen framework breaks down and collagen production decreases. This leads to loose, wrinkled skin. Sculptra is a compatible and biodegradable material that stimulates production and creation of new collagen. Through a series of treatments spaced over several months you can produce new collagen and improve the quality of your skin naturally.

Sculptra® Aesthetic (injectable poly-L-lactic acid) is not an overnight miracle. Long lasting – not a quick fix. The first facial injectable that gives you subtle results over time. Replacing lost collagen, it gives you a more natural-looking appearance, without giving you away. A full treatment of Sculptra Aesthetic, an average of 3 injection sessions over a few months, can last up to 2 years. Individual results and treatment sessions may vary. So you have more time to see how sensational subtle can be. Welcome to the new age of anti-age.

Sculptra Aesthetic is a new type of facial injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (a synthetic material that has been used safely for decades in resorbable stitches and as an injectable since 1999 in over 30 countries. It is biocompatible and biodegradable. Poly-L-lactic acid is the main ingredient in Sculptra Aesthetic), which helps to replace lost collagen. It helps correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds that appear with aging by replacing lost collagen. Safety and effectiveness of Sculptra Aesthetic have not been evaluated in areas other than nasolabial wrinkles and folds in clinical trials.

Sculptra Aesthetic is different in the way that it works

Provides gradual results that can last up to two years

Sculptra Aesthetic is a facial injectable that works gradually in a series of treatments – on average, three injection sessions over a few months – for a subtle, more youthful looking appearance.

Welcome to the new age of anti-age.

Goes to the source of facial aging

Sculptra Aesthetic targets the underlying causes of the signs of facial aging. It can give you noticeable results that emerge subtly and can last for up to two years. It begins to work within the deep dermis, where your skin’s structure is reinforced as Sculptra Aesthetic helps to replace lost collagen. This reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually restores
the look of fullness of your shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds that have depleted over time. The result? Sculptra Aesthetic is different because it gradually and subtly corrects these facial wrinkles and folds. This can provide a refined, more youthful looking appearance that can last up to two years.

Is biocompatible and biodegradable

Sculptra Aesthetic is made from a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body as it works to replace lost collagen. Poly-L-lactic acid has been used safely for decades in dissolvable stitches and since 1999 as a facial injectable in over 30 countries.

You should not use Sculptra Aesthetic if you are allergic to any ingredient of the product or have a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring.

Postoperative recovery is very important to Dr. Orloff. He frequently utilizes a pain pump following a tummy tuck. This continuously infuses pain medication in the surgical site making your recovery much more comfortable. Patients get up with more ease and faster. They can return to their jobs and usual activities sooner. This also cuts down on the number of pain pills patients have to take and reduces the side effects of sleepiness, nausea, and constipation.

During your consultation with Doctor Orloff you will have a chance to discuss your options. Doctor Orloff can recommend which procedures may be most appropriate for you.

Many women try very hard to excersize and eat right. However, it is impossible to get rid of extra skin this way. Abdominoplasty surgery gives you a head start by removing the excess skin.

Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from your abdominal wall. If you have internal fat, fat that can accumulate around your organs, that will remain. abdominoplasty will improve your silhouette and make your abdominal wall tighter.

Some people do not have too much excess fat or extra skin and may be great candidates for Mini-Abdominoplasty. This operation focuses on the area bellow the belly button. Often times the belly button does not need to be moved in this operation.

Sometimes breast implants are used to even out asymmetrical breasts. Most women have differences between the right and left breast. This is actually very common and it is rare to find a woman with identical breasts. Using slightly different implants can even out these differences and create a more aesthetic appearance. It makes wearing most clothing much easier and eliminates the need for padding the smaller side.

Many women become more self-confident and proud of their appearance following breast enhancement. They feel they have achieved better body symmetry with breast augmentation. Breast surgery can be performed alone or in addition to other surgical procedures.

What is a breast implant?  A breast implant is a silicone gel sac filled with either silicone or saline.  There are several manufacturers in the United States that have been making breast implants for quite a long time.  Breast implants can have different textures on the outside.  They can be smooth or textured.  They come in various shapes and sizes.

When you meet with Doctor Orloff you can decide together which implants would best fit your needs.

When deciding on size of breast implants the width of your chest, your body shape, and medical history are important. When you meet with Doctor Orloff you will have a chance to express your desires. Then together you can look at available sizes and shapes and decide which implants would best fit you. If you are not sure that’s OK. You will have an opportunity to talk about what is important to you and we will help you reach a conclusion.

How is the procedure performed? the procedure is performed in a board certified surgery center while you are comfortably anesthetized. There are several approaches. A very popular approach is through a small incision around the lower areola. A small opening is made and a pocket for the implant is developed under the breast tissue. The implant is placed inside the pocket. the opening is then closed using small sutures. This approach allows the incision to heal so well that in most cases one cannot identify the healed scar. Another way is through an incision on the lower breast or through the armpit. When you meet with Doctor Orloff you can decide together which approach would best suit your body shape.

Uneven or asymmetric breasts are not uncommon. If the difference is not very big, this can be hidden with padded bras, but if the difference between the breasts so too big to be hidden, the situation can become a real handicap, especially for a woman interested in sports, particularly in swimming. Low cut evening dresses can usually not be worn.

Dr. Orloff can correct this problem and you will be able to enjoy evening dresses or bikinis without the worries that pads might shift.
