Advancements in breast augmentation, such as the TUBA procedure, have seen better results and faster recovery times. Dr. David Mashhadian of Rodeo Surgical Art, as one of the most experienced cosmetic surgeons in Beverly Hills, is often on the forefront of these procedures, and brings his expertise to his patients. View More Patients Results How Does Transumbilical Breast Augmentation (TUBA) Work? The transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) procedure is an innovative way of enhancing the size and shape of a woman’s breasts and reducing scars by inserting the implants through the belly button. It’s a revolutionary technique, and Dr. Mashhadian is one of the most experienced practitioners performing TUBA procedures today. Traditional breast augmentation inserts the implants through incisions around the areola or under the breast. While the scars are discreet, they are still there. The TUBA procedure hides the only incision in the belly button. Aside from less scarring, the TUBA procedure has other distinct advantages: Less risk of nerve damage and sensation loss Minimized risk of infection Less interruption of healthy breast tissue Preservation of breastfeeding capabilities Faster, less painful recovery   The TUBA procedure is performed under general anesthesia for maximum patient comfort. The navel incision is made and Dr. Mashhadian will tunnel through your abdominal wall with a non-bladed surgical instrument called an obturator, advancing only 4cm at a time to ensure proper placement. Once the tunnel is created, a tube is inserted, the obturator is removed, and the integrity of the tunnel is checked endoscopically. Tissue expanders are introduced to create the pocket for the implant. The area is flushed with saline, during which time Dr. Mashhadian applies manual external pressure to shape and perfect the breast pocket. Only then is the implant inserted and manually advanced into the pocket, then filled to the predetermined volume. After Dr. Mashhadian is satisfied with the outcome, the incision is closed with a dissolving suture. Am I a Good Candidate? The best TUBA candidates are those in good health who wish to enhance the size and shape of their breasts with saline implants. Women preferring gel, or gummy bear, implants will fare better with traditional augmentation. What is the Procedure Like? Because of Dr. Mashhadian’s meticulous attention to detail and artistic eye, TUBA procedures are a good choice for many women desiring no visible scarring. There are myths surrounding the TUBA, however, including that the more distant incision and the implant traversing the tunnel means a greater chance of complications. The TUBA procedure is actually less prone to complication than other implant placement techniques. Following your procedure, your chest and abdomen are wrapped in a pressure bandage to be removed the following day. You’ll be encouraged to avoid underwire or push-up bras until your implants settle into the proper position. Downtime and Recovery Recovery for a TUBA procedure is less uncomfortable than traditional breast augmentation, and because of Dr. Mashhadian’s Recovery EXL™ system, you’ll be on your feet fast and may not even require prescription pain medication. You should be able to resume light activities and sedentary work in about 1 week. At Rodeo Surgical Art, we know you have many options for how your breast augmentation will go, from who your physician is, how the procedure is performed, and which implants you choose. Dr. Mashhadian is your partner in this decision, guiding you to the best choices for your unique goals and physique.

Becoming a mother can transform your life, of that there’s no doubt. It can also transform your body, and not always for the better. The toll pregnancy takes on the body shows in sagging breasts, loose skin, and a stretched out and pooching abdomen. Your life may never be the same again, but your body can recover, especially with the expertise and artistry of Rodeo Surgical Art. What is a Mommy Makeover? The purpose of a mommy makeover is to combine multiple procedures in a single stage to restore your pre-pregnancy physique in such a way that you experience as little downtime as possible. By performing procedures at once, such as a breast lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction, Dr. David Mashhadian can give you fastest return to your pre-pregnancy body without the downtime associated with multiple surgeries with individual recovery periods. Lifting the breasts, restoring abdominal wall musculature support, and tightening loose skin are all popular procedures chosen in a mommy makeover. Am I a Good Candidate? If you’re a mother who’s finished building your family and your youngest child has weaned from breastfeeding, and you long for the physique you once had, you may be an ideal candidate for a mommy makeover. Dr. Mashhadian can help you choose the best way to address your unique concerns during a comprehensive consultation. What is the Procedure Like? Your mommy makeover is entirely unique to you, including which procedures you opt to have done. If you’re satisfied with the way your abdomen has bounced back, but you can’t seem to lose the last little pocket of fat through diet and exercise, you may want liposuction more than a tummy tuck. If you’re pleased with your breast size but not their placement, a lift may be better than an augmentation. Each procedure you choose will be discussed with Dr. Mashhadian in extensive detail, and your rejuvenation is completed in a single day in our state-of-the-art procedure room at Rodeo Surgical Art. You can entirely avoid a hospital stay and be back on your feet before you know it. Downtime and Recovery One of the best things about the mommy makeover is going through only one recovery period. If a tummy tuck is part of your mommy makeover, please note it is an extensive procedure in which the abdominal muscles are shifted and strengthened, so recovery is more intensive than having liposuction only. Thankfully, Dr. Mashhadian has created the Recovery EXL™ system, a proprietary combination of medications and surgical techniques that minimize post-operative pain and discomfort so much that you may not even require narcotic pain management. You’ll be advised against strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks, but most of Dr. Mashhadian’s patients are ambulatory within hours of their procedure. You’re on your feet much faster, so busy moms with little ones to look after can return to their normal routine with as little disruption as possible. The team at Rodeo Surgical Art understand the importance of family and how much your children need you. We also understand a confident, happy mother raises confident, happy children. If having a mommy makeover helps you maintain a healthy, energetic lifestyle, we can get you there. Fit into your pre-pregnancy clothing, keep up with lively, spirited children, and maintain your sexy confidence with a single transformation. Get started today with Rodeo Surgical Art.

Men and women undergo a tummy tuck procedure for many reasons. Maybe diet and exercise aren’t precise enough to target your specific belly bulge. Perhaps pregnancy has affected your abdominal muscles. Or weight loss has left your skin lax and no amount of crunches can tighten it. Whatever the reason, Rodeo Surgical Art is excited to help you regain your flat stomach for a profile you can’t wait to show off. View More Patients Results What is a Tummy Tuck? A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a procedure that repairs stretched, weakened, or separated abdominal wall muscles and removes excess fat and loose skin for a firmer, smoother abdominal profile. Dr. David Mashhadian can help you customize the procedure for your specific body structure and concerns, from a full abdominoplasty, a mini tummy tuck, a dermolipectomy, or post bariatric body contouring. Am I a Good Candidate? If you’re tired of hiding a belly paunch behind loose clothing or a hunched posture, or you simply dislike your reflection and wish to be slimmer with a flatter stomach, you may be an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck. Get started with a consultation at Rodeo Surgical Art. What is the Procedure Like? The day of your tummy tuck, you’ll be given the anesthesia recommended by Dr. Mashhadian, either IV sedation or general anesthesia. The incision is made between your navel and pubic hairline, and its length is determined by the extent of correction you require. A second incision may be necessary at your bellybutton to access loose skin of the upper abdomen. Your abdominal muscles are restructured and sutured into place, and excess fat and skin is removed. Once Dr. Mashhadian is pleased with your new contour, your incisions are closed and you’re ready for recovery. Recovery and Results While you’ll experience some bruising and swelling, Dr. Mashhadian’s Recovery EXL™ techniques will minimize the trauma to your tissues, which are reflected in a quicker, safer recovery where you may not even require prescription pain medication. You’ll immediately have a flatter, slimmer tummy with better contours to your torso. Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks, and are often moving around comfortably just hours after the procedure. With a healthy diet and active lifestyle, your tummy tuck results can last a lifetime. How Much Does a Tummy Tuck Cost? One of the biggest considerations for electing to have a tummy tuck is cost. The American Society of Plastic Surgery lists the average price of abdominoplasty at $6,253, though that number will fluctuate based on geographic location, extent of procedure performed, and the skill of the surgeon. Procedures are performed in an accredited surgery center. Dr. Mashhadian has also carefully positioned Rodeo Surgical Art so as to offer extremely competitive pricing to patients, so you don’t have to choose between your self-esteem and your bank account. Financing options are also available for your convenience. Dr. Mashhadian’s meticulous approach to every patient procedure, combined with inspired artistry and a critically aesthetic eye, results in painstakingly natural outcomes with patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction as our top priority. The Rodeo Surgical Art team are proud of the patient care we provide. Let us help you transform your body so you look as good outside as you feel inside.

Breasts are a universal symbol of a woman’s femininity and self-identity. When time, age, gravity, or pregnancy alter the appearance of the breasts, it can cause insecurity and anxiety. At Rodeo Surgical Art, we don’t want anyone to live with breasts they’re unhappy with. Let us help you lift and shape your breasts for the proportions and appearance you’ve always wanted. You deserve to look and feel good. View More Patients Results What is a Breast Lift? A breast lift, also known as a Mastopexy, restores drooping breasts to a higher position while removing stretched, lax skin. In some cases, implants can be inserted and the nipple can be repositioned for a more attractive shape and size. Whether your concern is drooping breasts, downward pointing nipples, or breasts that have flattened and could use a boost of volume, a breast lift may be the procedure you need to restore a youthful, feminine chest profile. Dr. David Mashhadian customizes each patient’s procedure to address your specific needs and goals for the best possible outcome. There is no rushed, overbooked, or cookie cutter procedure at Rodeo Surgical Art. Am I a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift? Have your breasts succumbed to gravity or flattened after breastfeeding? Do your nipples point down rather than forward? Has your confidence taken a hit because of the shape and position of your breasts? Dr. Mashhadian and Rodeo Surgical Art can help you, beginning with a comprehensive consultation. What’s a Mastopexy Procedure Like? Each breast lift is unique to the individual patient, so your procedure will consist of a treatment plan designed to correct your specific concerns. Dr. Mashhadian’s proprietary surgical techniques are designed to minimize trauma to your tissues so there’s as little bruising and swelling as possible to speed your recovery. If implants are part of your procedure, he’ll use the Keller funnel to reduce incision size in the placement of your implants. Different types of incisions and techniques will address different variants of breast concerns. It’s all very personalized, and Dr. Mashhadian will work with you every step of the way, so you know exactly how your procedure will improve the shape and placement of your breasts. What Results Will I See With a Breast Lift? Breast lifts (with or without augmentation) do result in some bruising and swelling, so you may not be able to determine your final outcome right away. However, as the swelling subsides, your breasts will be perkier, more shapely, and in a more youthful, upright position than before. If you’ve received implants, the greater fullness will be obvious right away, but it may be weeks until they fully settle. Breast lift results are often lifelong, with one procedure correcting the problem. Implants may require future procedures, as many implants need adjustment after 10 years. Your incisions are made to minimize scarring, and those scars will fade over time. Keeping active and eating a healthy diet will increase the longevity of your breast lift results, so you can enjoy your profile and proportions for years to come. Your comfort with your breasts may be a big piece of your overall happiness. Being self-conscious of your silhouette and proportions isn’t something you have to live with. At Rodeo Surgical Art, we understand your breasts aren’t all there is to you, but they can and do contribute to your sense of self and how you feel. A breast lift could be just the lift you need.

Facelifts are the single most effective way a plastic surgeon of Dr. David Mashhadian’s caliber can reverse the signs of aging. If you’re tired of seeing wrinkles or lax skin and feeling as though you appear older than you actually are, you may be a great candidate for a facelift at Rodeo Surgical Arts. Many patients wonder if it’s worth the cost of the procedure, so let’s talk about how a facelift works and what it can do for you. View More Patients Result How Does a Facelift Reverse the Clock? While there are many different techniques for a facelift, the aim is to reposition the muscles, tissues, and skin for a more youthful, glowing appearance. By removing fatty deposits, remodeling the musculature structure, and tightening skin, Dr. Mashhadian can take years off your age. How Much Will I Spend on a Facelift? The overall cost of a facelift can range depending on the type and depth of your procedure, so every patient’s overall expense will differ. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average facelift procedure price tag in the US is in the range of $7,700-$11,780. What Factors Influence My Facelift Cost? That’s quite the range, so let’s take a closer look at what influencers may affect your bottom line. Geographic location can increase or decrease the cost The type of facelift is required to address your specific facial anatomy goals and concerns Your surgeon’s expertise, training, and skill matter, both in terms of the price and the effectiveness of the outcome. A bargain price up front may end up costing more in the future if you’re unsatisfied with the end result or require revisions to fix mistakes The facility in which your procedure takes place, including operating room fees, medical practitioners’ fees (including qualified anesthesiologist fees), and whether or not you stay overnight or undergo an outpatient procedure How Do I Determine if I’m a Good Candidate? If you’re concerned about moderate to severe facial aging signs, such as deep wrinkles, jowls, lost volume, or loose skin, and have realistic expectations about the outcome, you may be an ideal candidate for a facelift. The easiest way to get started, learn which facelift options are best for you, and answer questions is to schedule a consultation at Rodeo Surgical Art. Why Choose Rodeo Surgical Art? The amount of money you can expect to pay isn’t the only cost of a facelift to consider. A facelift can be an emotional experience, and Dr. Mashhadian and the Rodeo Surgical Art team treat our relationship with patients as a partnership from your first comprehensive consultation to your last follow-up appointment. Additionally, Dr. Mashhadian has developed a stellar reputation as one of Beverly Hills’ foremost plastic surgeons. Our boutique-style clinic and state-of-the-art procedure room, where your facelift will take place, allows us to give our patients the one-on-one attention necessary to see you through every step of the way while keeping costs down.

Have you looked into liposuction or a tummy tuck and discovered that individually, they just don’t answer all your concerns? What if the two procedures could be combined for one outstanding outcome? They can be, and at Rodeo Surgical Art, we have all your answers for what to expect, including one recovery period, and remarkable results. View More Patients Results How Does a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Work? How do liposuction and a tummy tuck benefit each other as one procedure? Let’s first look at how they differ. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) addresses weakened abdominal wall muscles and removes diet-and-exercise-resistant fat pockets, then tightens skin. A horizontal incision above the pubic bone gives Dr. David Mashhadian access to sculpt your torso for a slimmer profile. Most patients find the pleasing silhouette well worth the resulting scar. Liposuction begins with tiny, well-camouflaged incisions through which a cannula is inserted. Dr. Mashhadian takes great care to gently suction away stubborn fat and sculpt a more pleasing torso without creating excessive trauma to the surrounding tissues. This improves recovery times and minimizes discomfort for the patient. Combining these two techniques into one procedure is often called lipoabdominoplasty, and Dr. Mashhadian has perfected his techniques for the ultimate in natural, smooth, and slimming results. Am I a Good Candidate? If you have weakened abdominal muscles that protrude after childbirth, sagging skin, or stubborn fat despite diet and exercise, you may be an ideal candidate for lipoabdominoplasty. Men and women alike are candidates. Start with a consultation at Rodeo Surgical Art today. Benefits of Combination Liposuction and Tummy Tuck Together, liposuction and abdominoplasty are proven to give enhanced results that cannot be achieved by either procedure alone. A tummy tuck can tighten skin and repair muscle weakness where liposuction cannot. Liposuction targets stubborn fat in the flanks and love handles where a tummy tuck does not reach. Dr. Mashhadian has greater control over contouring with lipoabdominoplasty, and as loose skin is often the result of fat pockets, addressing both concerns at once achieves a more precise outcome with more thorough improvement. Better results, naturally smoother skin, and one recovery period. It’s the best of both worlds. Dr. Mashhadian has also developed Recovery EXL™, a revolutionary combination of medications and surgical techniques that minimizes tissue trauma, reduces swelling, bruising, and inflammation, and results in a much faster, virtually pain-free recovery, many times without the need for narcotic pain medication. The tummy tuck is one of the most significant cosmetic operations available, with a reputation for a difficult recovery time. To have Dr. Mashhadian’s renowned skill and Recovery EXL™ technique in your corner is an absolute must. What Results Can I Expect? A lipoabdominoplasty may be exactly the combination of procedures you need to achieve a sleeker, more toned abdomen while addressing the sides and love handles at the same time. Your clothes will fit better, your profile will be slimmer, and overall, you’ll have a better, more natural body shape that sometimes diet and exercise just can’t achieve. Why Choose Rodeo Surgical Art? Dr. Mashhadian and the Rodeo Surgical Art team have cultivated a strong relationship with our patients to help them realize their aesthetic goals.

One of the most common areas women are self-conscious of is the breasts. They’re a central component of a woman’s proportions, which is why when the breasts are too small, asymmetrical, or otherwise lacking, they can take a heavy toll on a woman’s mental health. For the Rodeo Surgical Art team, that’s the last thing we want, which is why we’ve helped thousands of women achieve natural, pleasing breasts with a breast augmentation. View More Patients Result How Does Breast Augmentation Work? A breast augmentation is far more complex than simply having implants inserted. The choices can have a great deal of influence on the final result. Saline or silicone is one choice, as the contents of the implant influence the results and how naturally the breasts look and feel. Next, patients decide the shape of the implant, either round or teardrop. The physical characteristics of your chest—desired projection of the breast from the chest wall, how tight your skin is, and more—may impact which shape is best for you. Next, placing your implants above or beneath your pectoralis muscle must be considered. The choices available for a breast augmentation make it a highly customizable procedure for each patient’s unique physical features and aesthetic goals. Dr. David Mashhadian forms a partnership with each patient, elevating the standard of care to give every patient of Rodeo Surgical Art the best chance of achieving their cosmetic goals. He’s highly involved in every aspect of each patient’s procedures, providing the information you need to make the best decisions for your treatment. Am I a Good Candidate? While the decision to have a breast augmentation is a personal one, ideal candidates are those in good health with realistic expectations, and are generally done with family planning.  The best place to start making your decision is with a consultation at Rodeo Surgical Art.  What is Recovery Like? While a breast augmentation can be a pretty intensive procedure, particularly for those who opt for implant placement under the pectoralis muscle, its recovery is fairly straightforward. You’ll undergo the procedure in Rodeo Surgical Art’s state-of-the-art procedure room as an outpatient. A surgical bra will be used to support your new breasts, and you’ll likely awaken from your procedure with a feeling of heaviness on your chest. The weight of your implants may take some getting used to, but this happens fairly quickly. Dr. Mashhadian has also developed Recovery EXL™, a combination of surgical techniques and medication combinations designed to minimize patient discomfort and tissue trauma to the point where you may not even require prescription pain management. Patients typically need 1 week of recuperation, and many, thanks to Recovery EXL™, need even less. What Does a Breast Augmentation Cost? There is an argument that the cost of a surgical procedure isn’t only monetary, and Dr. Mashhadian believes very strongly that patients seeking improvement for aesthetic reasons are making investments in themselves. It’s why he’s worked hard to price procedures at Rodeo Surgical Art as competitively as possible, and works with patients on financing. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons put the 2019 average cost of breast implants in the US at $3,947. Other factors, like geographical location, physician expertise, facility fees, and complexity of the procedure can influence the price, so the range of breast augmentation is between $5,000-$9,000. Giving yourself the gift of confidence truly is an investment in yourself, and as such, the price of enhanced breasts may be well worth it.

Nowadays, facelifts are customizable and produce natural results rather than the stretched skin of the past. Dr. David Mashhadian has a plethora of skills and methods to create the look your desire through a facelift with results you’ll love for years. *individual results may vary. How Does a Facelift Work? Dr. Mashhadian has no cookie-cutter facelift procedure, and only wants to correct your signs of aging to the extent you need—no more, no less. This begins with the three basic facelift techniques which Dr. Mashhadian then customizes for your specific goals and features. The Traditional Facelift conceals the incisions in your hairline, giving Dr. Mashhadian access to sculpt, reposition, and anchor your SMAS layer—the face’s structural support—for a refreshed, youthful appearance. This facelift works well for patients who need significant intervention. The Limited-Incision Facelift uses shorter incisions in the upper face rather than in the hairline. Patients who only require mild correction may opt for this choice, and the results are as long lasting as traditional approaches. The Neck Lift may be best if your lower face and neck are giving away your age. A melting jawline and loose skin of the neck can really age a person. Gravity can force fat tissue to accumulate downward, so a neck lift is more reasonable for reducing aging and the results can be quite dramatic. Am I a Good Candidate? Facelifts are for men and women who are in general good health with realistic expectations. A facelift can improve your appearance, but it’s not a substitute for a healthy, active lifestyle. Start with a consultation with Dr. Mashhadian today. How Should I Prepare for a Facelift? Before your procedure, you may need certain lab testing and medication adjustments. If you smoke or vape, it’s best to quit several weeks ahead of the procedure as nicotine interferes with the healing process. The day before your facelift, make yourself a comfortable recovery spot where you’ll have things close at hand, such as pillows for elevating your upper body (recommended even for sleeping), books or TV remotes, and blankets. Perhaps prepare a cooler with plenty of water and soft snacks within reach. The first 24 hours after your procedure, you may be groggy and weakened, so you’ll need a loved one to help keep you comfortable during this time. The more you can set yourself up for comfort ahead of time, the smoother your initial recovery will go. Also, listen to your body after your procedure. It’s hard sometimes to slow down, but depleting energy resources your body needs to heal by overextending yourself during recovery only prolongs your downtime. What is Recovery Like? Because of Dr. Mashhadian’s Recovery EXL™ system, you’ll be mobile and alert sooner than you might expect, which helps with circulation and improves healing. Most patients return to their regular activities within 1-2 weeks, and some even sooner. Office work may be resumed quicker than more strenuous, physical work. You’ll experience some bruising and swelling the first few days, but this is normal and no cause for panic. As the bruises fade and swelling reduces, your youthful glow will shine through. Your tissues may take a few weeks to settle, but once they do, patients enjoy their results for up to 15 years without the need for maintenance. Good habits can keep you looking youthful for the long-term, and Dr. Mashhadian is happy to give you information to help preserve your youth and vitality for as long as possible. When the time is right, small revisions can be made to keep you younger for longer.

Liposuction is a highly versatile procedure that gives surgeons like Dr. David Mashhadian at Rodeo Surgical Art a great deal of opportunity to sculpt the body his patients have always wanted. It’s as much art as it is science, though advancements in medicine around liposuction have improved leaps and bounds in the last several years. Liposuction is a great way to get the body you’ve always dreamed of. View More Patients Results How Does Liposuction Work? Liposuction is safe, effective fat removal for patients who’ve tried a healthy diet and targeted exercise to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat. By inserting a small cannula into the lower abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, or buttocks, Dr. Mashhadian suctions away unwanted fat and sculpts a lean, toned contour for the treatment area. It’s not limited to the torso, either. Virtually any area of the body—thighs, upper arms, even under the chin—can be treated with liposuction, and the techniques available to Dr. Mashhadian are highly customizable for the patient. The best part is that the body keeps to a fairly static number of fat cells once we’re through puberty, so the fat you lose during liposuction is gone. For good. Am I a Good Candidate? While most people qualify for a liposuction, the best results occur for those who don’t smoke, have good skin elasticity, are not far from their recommended weight, and are committed to maintaining their results with a healthy lifestyle after recovering. Start with a consultation with Dr. Mashhadian today. What is the Procedure Like? Dr. Mashhadian performs your procedure in the comfort of the cutting-edge procedure room at Rodeo Surgical Art with either general or tumescent anesthesia. Customizable options, like the addition of VASER ultrasound energy to smooth the fat removal process, are discussed thoroughly beforehand. VASER energy liquefies the fat cells for easier removal and less trauma to surrounding tissues. Liposuction takes between 60-90 minutes, and after a couple hours of monitoring, you’re ready to go home and recover in familiar surroundings. What is Recovery Like? Once you’re home, you’ll note some bruising and swelling, which are improved with compression bandages. Patients often resume regular activities within 1 week, often sooner with VASER ultrasound. Dr. Mashhadian’s Recovery EXL™ system takes recovery a step further. This proprietary combination of surgical technique and medication is so effective at reducing post-op discomfort, most Rodeo Surgical Art patients don’t require more than over-the-counter pain management. You’re on your feet within hours rather than days, and most of our patients report distinct surprise at how good they feel following even significant surgical procedures. What Results Can I Expect? It may take a few weeks or months for your slimmer silhouette to fully settle, but as it does, your clothes will fit better, and you may find yourself feeling prouder, walking taller, and smiling more. An investment in your appearance is an investment in your self-esteem, and liposuction is one highly customizable way to achieve that. With a relatively uncomplicated recovery, it’s no wonder liposuction has become one of the country’s most popular procedures. Good habits can keep you looking healthy and athletic for the long-term, and Dr. Mashhadian is happy to help you develop good habits that will prolong your results and keep you loving your body. Dr. Mashhadian’s unparalleled skill and commitment to bringing the beauty of art and the innovation of science to the medicine of cosmetic surgery means your results will be the best they can possibly be.
