For various reasons, men and women seek cosmetic plastic surgeons who are outside of the United States for a face, breast, or body enhancing procedure. One of the main reasons for doing so is the cost of the procedure; however, selecting a surgeon solely based on price can lead to unpleasant and/or unsafe circumstances. Not long ago, a Chula Vista resident died after her liposuction procedure in Tijuana, Mexico. The surgeon is said to claim certain memberships and society affiliations, yet no confirmation has been made.

In Beverly Hills, cosmetic plastic surgery professional Stuart A. Linder, M.D., F.A.C.S. has the education, training, and experience to provide patients with a safe and successful surgery. Dr. Linder performs face, breasts, and body enhancing procedures, while keeping the patient’s well-being in mind. He is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). As a part of these prestigious associations, Dr. Linder must adhere to standards and guidelines in order to ensure the patient’s safety.

As the temperature climbs and summer inches closer, the quest to get a “beach ready” body is in full force, especially in Southern California.

Usually beginning in spring, women become increasingly conscious of their body shape, looking for ways to shed pounds and get a better-contoured physique. Many women often opt to undergo a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in order to achieve their desired appearance before beach season officially starts.

At the Orange County practice of Robert M. Wald, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S., The Aesthetic Institute, patients who have exhausted the natural means of weight loss – regular exercise and healthy diet – inquire about body altering procedures. The most common of these include liposuction and tummy tuck surgery. Liposuction is designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body that do no respond to diet and exercise. This procedure can be performed on various areas of the body, including the neck, arms, abdomen, hips, lower back, and thighs. When undergoing one of the various methods of liposuction surgery, patients can achieve a more sculpted and toned body shape. In addition, when combined with tummy tuck surgery, patients can rid their midsection of loose, excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles. Both procedures require a three to four week recovery time, making early spring an ideal time to undergo these surgeries. However, it is best to undergo these surgeries well before summer arrives since they each require a lengthy recovery period.

Along with gaining a flat, sculpted abdomen, many women with small breasts often wish they had larger, more voluminous breasts. To achieve this, Dr. Wald offers breast augmentation surgery with the option of either saline or silicone gel breast implants. By placing breast implants either above or beneath the chest muscle, Dr. Wald can help patients add volume and enhance breast shape. Furthermore, women who have sagging in the breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding may also wish to learn more regarding breast lift surgery. The combination of a lift and augmentation can help women regain a youthful appearance.

Regardless of the procedure(s) a patient undergoes, it is important to carefully and thoroughly research the surgery and plastic surgeon. If cost is an issue, there are various financing options available; however, because the pressure to be beach ready is on, some patients may commit to surgery based solely on price. Although cosmetic plastic surgery is an elective surgery, it is still an invasive process that should be taken seriously.

Those who would like to learn more regarding breast and body enhancing procedures may contact Dr. Wald at his Fullerton practice.
