Although pregnancy is a rewarding experience in a woman’s life, it can have negative consequences on a woman’s body and self image.  The Mommy Makeover procedure has risen in popularity over the last decade as women want to regain what was lost after pregnancy and the natural aging process

So what is a Mommy Makeover?

Typically a mommy makeover includes breast surgery, such as a breast lift or breast augmentation, liposuction, and a combination of various procedures depending on the woman’s individual body needs.  The first step is to talk to an expert plastic surgeon, and educate yourself about the details.

Dr. Shahin Javaheri can help you understand your treatment option and then put together a plan to help you achieve your goals.

Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr Shahin Javaheri is an expert on the liposuction procedure, which targets persistent areas of fat unresponsive to more traditional weight loss methods.

When combined with proper nutrition and exercise, liposuction is an excellent way to achieve the look you desire.

Liposuction is performed on an out-patient basis. Depending of the amount of fat to be removed, the procedure may be performed under local, regional, or general anesthesia. You will be encouraged to walk and can perform light activities just a few days after your surgery.

If you would like schedule an appointment with Dr. Javaheri at either his San Francisco or Berkeley office to discuss liposuction, please call 415.923.3800.

The buttock augmentation procedure can help women feel more confident about their shape and proportions. Also known as gluteoplasty, the procedure results in the improvement of the size, shape, and contour of the buttock.

There are three different approaches to buttock augmentation, including fat transfer, implants, or a combination of the two.

Many San Francisco plastic surgeons prefer the fat transfer method which uses the patient’s own tissue, in cases where there is sufficient body fat that can be utilized. The fat is removed via liposuction from various donor sites and re-injected to the buttocks to sculpt a fuller more rounded appearance.

A buttock augmentation involving implants is relatively straight forward. To start, a well-hidden scar is strategically placed in the crease of the buttocks, and then buttock implants are positioned between the layers of the muscle. The implant is positioned so that it is not near the bony part of the buttock as to not hinder comfort during sitting. Since the implant is made of solid silicone gel, it is important to note that it will not leak.

San Francisco plastic surgeon Shahin Javaheri M.D. is one of a few surgeons who performs this progressive body contouring procedure. If you would like to schedule an appointment to discuss a buttock lift in San Francisco with Dr. Javaheri, call 415.923.3800 or visit AdvancedAesthetic.com

Despite muscle building exercise, people may not be able to develop their chest and arm muscles to the level that they desire. Pectoral implants, bicep implants and tricep implants are commonly used to enhance, and in some cases provide, natural body curvatures and muscles.

Pectoral implants are chest implants generally made for men, which help to enhance the appearance of the chest. Bicep and Tricep Implants are placed in the arms to enhance muscles that may not show the mass and fullness despite extensive muscular exercising and conditioning. The implants are made from soft solid silicone, which is very durable and safe.

Recovery for most people is generally quick, and the symptoms are simply tolerated. Getting back to normal activities takes just a week or two, and getting back to sports requires six weeks of recovery.

If you would like to talk to a San Francisco plastic surgeon with experience with pectoral, bicep and tricep implants, call Dr. Shahin Javaheri at Advanced Aesthetic at 415 923 3800

Thinking of having breast reduction surgery? Are you a woman living in the San Francisco Bay Area that suffers from large over-sized breasts? Electing to have breast reduction surgery can alter your life for the better.

You may be a good candidate for breast reduction if you have one or more of the following conditions:

• Breasts that are too large in proportion to your body frame
• Heavy, pendulous breast with nipple and areolas that point downward
• One breast is much larger than the other
• Back, neck or shoulder pain caused by the weight of your breasts
• Skin irritation beneath your breasts
• Indentations in your shoulders from tight bra straps
• Restriction of physical activity due to the size and weight of your breasts

Most women that elect to have breast reduction surgery in San Francisco report significant relief from the typical aches and pains associated with over-sized breasts in their shoulders, neck and back.  In addition, large breasts can distort a woman’s posture, and make breathing more difficult.

In psychological terms, ungainly stares and rude comments can make these women self-conscious and prone to low self-esteem. Not only are there significant physical improvements, but mental ones, too

Before surgery, many women are either unable to participate in physical activity or tend to shy away from sports or activities that make them feel uncomfortable. After the surgery however, many women find that the ability to exercise has profound effects on both their mental and physical well being. In addition, many women find new confidence in their ability to wear clothes they wouldn’t have been able to without the surgery.

While the goal of breast reduction surgery is to reduce the volume and weight of the breast, maintaining the shape is an important part of the process. A consultation with board certified plastic surgeon, Dr Shahin Javaheri, is a great option if you are thinking of having the surgery. At the consultation, Dr. Javaheri will educate you about breast reduction surgery, answer any questions you have, as well as discuss your goals and expectations.  To schedule your appointment, call his friendly staff today at 415.923.3800
