- Medical Weight LossIn facial procedures weight loss before surgery has no major benefit other than general health. But getting your weight under control is good before body liposuction.
- Wound CarePost-procedure wound care is an important aspect in healing to the maximum benefit. It is essential to keep the skin clean and well hydrated to prevent crust formation. The initial pinkness of the skin will gradually lessen in 1 to 2 months. Mineral makeup (such as Glo Minerals) and a physical sun-block such as Tizo may be started 8 to 10 days after the procedure. Walking may be resumed right away followed, within days, by light activity as tolerated. Most people will take 7 to 10 days off work depending on how strenuous your job is.
- BotoxSanta Barbara cosmetic surgeon Dr. Terry Perkins was interviewed at his Santa Barbara medical spa, Evolutions, during an Open House Event that they were having to celebrate their 5th anniversary. Dr. Perkins, who is the founder and Medical Director, was on hand to mingle with guests and give a live demonstration of injecting Botox, Santa Barbara’s most popular non-invasive, anti-wrinkle treatment.
- Brow LiftWhen your eyebrows begin to droop you start to look sad, tired, or unhappy. The temporal brow lift elevates the outer half of the brows and improves the crow’s feet. By focusing on “opening up” your eyes in a natural way you look more approachable without looking “overdone”. The lift is done through a very small (1/4”) incision that is hidden in the hair.
- Eyelid SurgeryEyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is an excellent way to restore a rested, youthful appearance. Excess skin around the eyes (either on the upper eyelids or lower eyelids) can make a person look older and “tired”. Blepharoplasty removes the excess skin and fat around the eyes, resulting in a more “refreshed” look.
- LiposuctionFacial liposuction in the lower face and/or the submentum (the chin/neck area) involves only small areas and a small amount of fat removal. Fat is removed using a small tube that is inserted through a small skin incision. The result is a more contoured and sculpted look. The procedure is typically done under local anesthetic combined with oral sedation.
- Plastic Surgery(Written on a card with a rainbow photo) Rainbow means new beginning and it is what happened to me with the great help, care, enthusiasm, compassion in this amazing surgery. You are the BEST and #1 of plastic surgery ever. With great recognition in my heart.
- Face LiftI had a facelift over the summer break from my job at the school district. My co-workers thought I looked great from my “vacation”. The procedure gave me a rested, younger, natural look, not the pulled tight look you see on so many celebrity facelifts. Both Dr. Perkins and his nurse, Nancy, are helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend my friends and family to use Dr. Perkins for any cosmetic surgery.
- Neck LiftNeck (submentum) – The submental area (under your chin) will often develop bands of excess skin and “stringy” muscles as we age. A submentoplasty is less extensive than a neck lift and is especially good for men who are starting to see a “turkey neck”. Dr. Perkins sews muscle bands together and removes extra skin to re-contour the neck and positively change the appearance and profile.
- BlepharoplastyExcess skin and/or fat around the eyes can make a person look older and “tired.” An upper or a lower blepharoplasty removes the excess skin and/or fat around the eyes. Emphasis is placed on achieving a natural, but more “refreshed” look.
- Body ContouringMost facial procedures (including full facelifts) and body contouring surgeries have remarkably little pain that can be easily controlled with oral medication.
