Breast Augmentation 37
IL was a 20-year-old female with a 34A cup breast size at 5'5" and weighing 128 lbs. This patient was in excellent shape with a very low body fat percentage and had just returned from a bodybuilding competition. She related that she had been eating healthily and normally and was not planning on doing more competitions anytime soon. She requested 500cc implants, but Dr. Mo Zakhireh advised the patient that while he could do this size for her, going from an
A cup to a D cup all at once might give her stretch marks.
The patient then asked what Cosmetic Surgery Institute could do for the possible stretch marks if they did happen. Dr. Zakhireh educated the patient about the BBL laser, which could reduce the red in her skin. The patient proceeded with surgery, where she was augmented with Mentor Smooth Gel 500cc High Profile Gummy Bear Implants. These implants were placed under the pectoral muscles for mammogram reasons.

CR was a 25-year-old female who came to Cosmetic Surgery Institute requesting a breast augmentation from the Los Angeles practice. She had no children, was a 34B cup at 5'9", and weighed 130 lbs. The patient was originally sized at 500cc. However, on the morning of surgery, the team resized her, and she decided that 500cc was too big, so she downsized to 450cc, which was a good fit.
In surgery, Dr. Mo Zakhireh augmented her with Mentor Smooth Gel High Profile 450cc gummy bear implants. The surgeon placed them under the pectoral muscles for mammogram-related reasons. The patient did very well and had a very smooth post-op recovery course. She was so happy and very grateful for her results.

Demographics
Details
When abdominal muscles and skin have been stretched by pregnancy, weight fluctuation, or aging, it is nearly impossible to regain a taut midsection. An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, at the Palm Desert-based Cosmetic Surgery Institute is an ideal solution for men and women who have poor muscle tone or excess skin in the abdominal area.
The physicians take a two-step approach to tummy tuck surgery that combines liposuction for fat removal with the surgical techniques for tightening the muscles and eliminating excess skin. This method results in firmer body contours and a flatter torso. The before and after photos show the slimming results of a tummy tuck from the Los Angeles area practice.
