In today’s economy, we are all concerned about our finances. We are concerned about our jobs and anxious about the future. Unfortunately, we can not stop the aging process. There are now a number of payment options for patients who want to feel good and improve their looks.
Care Credit and eMedical are two financing companies that are working with my patients to finance their cosmetic surgeries. If a person qualifies, a low monthly payment plan is arranged. This may be paid over 12 to 48 months. Interest rates vary but are much lower than regular credit cards. I have found this to be a very good plan for many patients to have their cosmetic surgery in these difficult times.

Orange County Gynecomastia
Moobs!!!!! What do you do?
Excess fat or glandular tissue in the male breast is a much more common problem among adolescents and older men than its lack of publicity would indicate. An estimated 40 to 60 percent of men suffer from this condition, which can occur in either one or both breasts, at some time in their lives. The cause of gynecomastia is not well understood, but it is suspected that hormonal changes often play a role. Anabolic steroids that contain estrogen, marijuana use, and prescribed hormones are a factor in some instances. Massive weight loss can also result in hanging breasts that detract from a mans appearance.
Plastic surgery offers a solution for men who are troubled by this embarrassing condition. Through the use of liposuction and occasionally direct excision of extra mammary tissue, we can create a firmer, flatter, and better contoured male chest. Downtime is minimal with 1 to 2 days off work. As a male breast surgeon expert, I found men to be extremely pleased with this procedure.

Orange County Chin
Augmentation
“The Key to Facial Harmony”
As you look at people, one begins to notice how the chin balances the face. An individual who has a recessive chin causes the lower face to appear under developed and out of harmony with other facial features. In order to improve facial harmony, a chin implant can be placed.
As a facial cosmetic surgical specialist, I have performed several hundred chin implants. This can be done as an isolated procedure or in combination with neck liposuction or a facelift. Recently, I have performed several chin implants on younger women who are quite sensitive about their profile. The young women (in their 20’s and 30’s) also have developed neck fat. When placing an implant and performing neck liposuction, a dramatic appearance results. This procedure can be performed as an outpatient surgical procedure. Most Orange County patients can return to work within a few days.
