There’s nothing more frustrating than working hard in the gym and keeping to a healthy diet, yet still seeing pockets of stubborn fat in the mirror. You put in the hard work and you deserve the rewards. Dr. David Mashhadian at Rodeo Surgical Art can give you that extra boost in body sculpting with liposuction. How Does Liposuction Work? Liposuction techniques have come a long way, but they all remove unwanted body fat where diet and exercise fail. The beauty of liposuction, and of Dr. Mashhadian’s skills, is its precision in shaping your body where other body contouring procedures have less accuracy. Liposuction sculpts the abdomen, hips, flanks, thighs, upper or lower back, arms, or even underneath the chin to give you the sleek profile you’re looking for. Different liposuction techniques achieve different results. This makes liposuction highly customizable for each patient, and offers the personal touch Dr. Mashhadian and the Rodeo Surgical Art team are known for. Tumescent liposuction infuses the treatment area with sterile fluid to ease the removal of unwanted fat cells while simultaneously reducing bleeding and resulting in less trauma to the surrounding tissues. A small incision is made through which a cannula is inserted to suction unwanted fat from the body. This method works well for larger areas like the abdomen, flanks, and back. VASER liposuction is also intended to ease fat removal, but through ultrasound energy to the treatment area before the cannula is introduced. The heat generated liquefies the fat cells, making them easier to suction out as well as giving Dr. Mashhadian a great deal of control over the body’s contours, making it ideal for smaller treatment areas. This also minimizes tissue trauma. Am I a Good Candidate? Liposuction is not for weight loss, so ideal candidates are within 20-30 pounds of their ideal weight. Patients who don’t smoke and have good skin elasticity are often more satisfied with their results. Sometimes, liposuction can be combined with additional procedures to improve overall results with a single recovery period. What is the Liposuction Procedure and Recovery Like? Rodeo Surgical Art’s state-of-the-art surgical suite is where Dr. Mashhadian performs liposuction procedures. Most of the time, patients are put under general anesthesia. Dr. Mashhadian then performs the liposuction with the benefit of years of experience, skillful artistry, and his proprietary Recovery EXL methodology, which shortens recovery time, reduces post-op pain significantly, and gets you on your feet much faster. Most liposuction procedures take only 60-90 minutes from start to finish.   You’ll awaken with a compression garment to minimize swelling and preserve Dr. Mashhadian’s sculpting efforts. Your procedure is outpatient, so you should be home the same day. Bruising and swelling, particularly around the incisions, is normal. With Recovery EXL, you may not even need narcotic medication to manage pain. What Results Can I Expect? Your new sculpted physique will emerge as the swelling reduces over the following few weeks. Fat cells are not replaced by the body, so once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will prolong your results for years. Gaining weight in the fat cells that remain in the treatment area after your procedure can undo the results Dr. Mashhadian has so carefully crafted. Many patients come to Rodeo Surgical Art and Dr. Mashhadian for help ridding themselves of stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet and exercise. If you’re ready to trim your stomach, sculpt your neck and jawline, slim your hips or flanks, get rid of wobbly thighs, or say goodbye to fat around your bra line or above your waistband, then liposuction with Dr. Mashhadian is the customized treatment for you. What do you have to lose besides the fat?

Lines and wrinkles aren’t the only ways the skin around our eyes show age. Our eyelids become more lax over time, and as such, can give us a sleepy or hooded appearance. In more severe cases, your eyelids may droop so much they can obstruct peripheral vision. Dr. David Mashhadian can help with an eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, which opens up your eyes so you’re alert, refreshed, and bright eyed. How Does an Eyelid Lift Work? While blepharoplasty involves the subtlest of changes to the skin around your eyes, its results can be remarkably dramatic in how it reduces the appearance of age. Some patients with more serious eyelid drooping have even reported less fatigue at the end of the day. They no longer feel staying alert is a struggle with less skin weighing down their eyelids. It’s shifted fatty tissue and loose skin of both the upper and lower eyelids that creates puffy eye bags and sagging skin. Dr. Mashhadian makes small incisions in the natural creases of your upper or lower lid (or both in the same procedure) to remove excess fat and skin. This releases the pressure on your eyes for a more bright eyed appearance. You look more alert, refreshed, and ready to take on the day. Am I a Good Candidate? Blepharoplasty is for men and women who are unhappy with the appearance of their eyes due to drooping, sagging, puffiness, under eye bags, and hooding of the eyelid that can sometimes impede vision. During your consultation, Dr. Mashhadian will thoroughly evaluate your eyelid positioning and condition while listening to all your concerns and answering any questions you may have. In some cases, combining related procedures, such as a brow lift, with your blepharoplasty may achieve your goals more successfully.   What is the Procedure Like? Blepharoplasty is a relatively quick procedure at around 2 hours for both upper and lower lids. Patients having an upper eyelid lift may only need local anesthesia, but if you’re having upper and lower lids done simultaneously, you’ll likely require general anesthesia. Incisions are made in the natural creases of your upper lid, or along the lash line of your lower lid, and are well camouflaged once healed. Dr. Mashhadian repositions fat pads and removes excess fatty tissue and skin. This is where the artistry of a skilled surgeon of Dr. Mashhadian’s caliber matters most, and when he’s sure your eye contours are youthful and beautiful, he’ll close the incisions. Blepharoplasty recovery is often one of the easiest procedures to recover from. What Results Can I Expect? Initial swelling may obscure your results immediately, but as this settles down, your eyes will appear wider, brighter, and you’ll have a youthful, refreshed appearance no makeup techniques or caffeine can duplicate. The change may be physically subtle, but your confidence will soar and you’ll likely feel less fatigued at the end of a workday, especially if your work involves screen time. How Much Does an Eyelid Lift Cost? The cost of a blepharoplasty does depend on whether you’re having upper, lower, or both sets of eyelids lifted. Blepharoplasty is a highly complex procedure where every patient is unique, so your price will reflect this complexity. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons averages eyelid surgery costs around $3,200 nationwide. Because the Rodeo Surgical Art standard of care includes our patients’ comfort in all aspects of their procedures, including price, we offer stellar financing options. Dr. Mashhadian has also carefully curated a balance in patient care designed to make pricing as competitive as possible.

As a central feature of the face, the nose has a lot of sway over our overall appearance. When there are imperfections, such as a prominent bump on the bridge, or an out-of-proportion tip, it can really affect self-esteem and confidence. You can regain your confidence and love your nose again with the help of Dr. David Mashhadian, one of Beverly Hills’ most renowned plastic surgeons. How Does Rhinoplasty Work? Every nose is different, so rhinoplasty to reshape unwanted features or correct trauma can be a complex undertaking, one in which Dr. Mashhadian has extensive experience and training. Changes to your nose’s shape can profoundly improve your whole appearance, as well as function of your nose if you have trouble breathing due to deviated septum or structural irregularity. There are a few options for how your rhinoplasty is performed. Open rhinoplasty improves your nose from the inside and the outside with incisions inside the nose as well as across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue between the nostrils. This gives Dr. Mashhadian greater access to the tissues and cartilage of the nose for optimal shaping. Closed rhinoplasty is performed through incisions only inside the nasal cavity, which means there’s no visible scarring. This is only possible for patients seeking minor correction because it limits access to all the nose’s structures. Revision rhinoplasty may be necessary when a patient hasn’t gotten the results originally desired. Dr. Mashhadian carefully assesses your current nose as well as your original nose. After thorough discussion about your goals from the first procedure and where it fell short, Dr. Mashhadian can give you a greater understanding of how your revision will help. Thanks to his skill, extensive experience, and meticulous attention to detail, it’s a rare situation where he cannot improve your happiness with your nose’s overall appearance. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is for patients seeking the subtlest of changes and don’t mind having repeat treatments using dermal fillers. This option gives you a semi-permanent solution to improve your nose’s shape without a lifetime commitment. It’s an option for patients unwilling to have surgery, or it may be a stepping stone to a surgical rhinoplasty with more permanent outcomes. Am I a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty? If the shape of your nose negatively impacts your life and you want to change its size, shape, or other central feature, rhinoplasty may be your solution. If you have breathing trouble, rhinoplasty may even be partially or fully covered by insurance. Your consultation includes a thorough discussion about what rhinoplasty can do for you, so your likelihood of success is greater. What is a Rhinoplasty Procedure Like? Dr. Mashhadian performs rhinoplasty procedures in the Rodeo Surgical Art accredited surgical suite. Most treatments last between 90 minutes and 3 hours under general anesthesia. Your treatment plan is implemented with well-placed incisions, through which Dr. Mashhadian begins your nose’s remodel. Some patients may require cartilage grafts from donor sites elsewhere on the body (most often the ear) to achieve optimum results. When you awaken, your nose will be bandaged and have internal packing to protect what Dr. Mashhadian has so carefully sculpted. You may have some swelling and bruising, and you should avoid blowing your nose for up to 2 weeks. Your packing will be removed after a few days at your first follow-up visit, and each subsequent visit will allow Dr. Mashhadian to monitor your healing. What Results Can I Expect After my Rhinoplasty? Rhinoplasty often requires some healing before results fully develop, but your new nose will emerge as swelling subsides. Your new look will last a lifetime, and you need no further treatments to maintain it.

The beauty of liposuction is how much sculpting power it gives a surgeon with Dr. David Mashhadian’s skill, expertise, and level of artistry. Liposuction is possible on even the smallest amount of stubborn fat, so while it’s not a great solution for significant weight loss, you can target those areas that simply don’t respond to diet and exercise.   How Does An Liposuction Actually Work? The concept of liposuction is simple but its execution takes experience and training to elevate the results, which Dr. Mashhadian delivers for his Rodeo Surgical Art patients time and again. Stubborn fat is suctioned out through a small cannula inserted through a tiny incision, leaving your body lean and slender in ways the gym can’t always provide. Because of liposuction advanced technology, Dr. Mashhadian can very precisely mold your body to the shape you’ve always wanted. Diet and exercise can only shrink fat cells. Liposuction removes them entirely, and because the body stops producing fat cells after puberty, once they’re gone, they’re really gone. Existing fat cells may still grow in size, so a healthy lifestyle will maintain your slim physique for years to come. Liposuction can be performed virtually anywhere: Abdomen Flanks Arms Thighs Upper back (around the bra line) Around the knees or ankles Under the chin   Am I a Good Candidate? Ideal liposuction candidates are men and women in general good health who cannot shift those stubborn pockets of fat with diet and exercise. The best results happen for patients who don’t smoke, have good skin elasticity, have realistic expectations, and can commit to the necessary recovery time and healthy lifestyle. What is the Procedure Like? There are a multitude of varied liposuction techniques, making it highly customizable. Most Rodeo Surgical Art liposuction procedures Dr. Mashhadian performs are outpatient under general anesthesia and take place in an accredited surgical suite with state-of-the-art technology at his fingertips. The type of liposuction you have changes how the procedure is performed. Tumescent liposuction involves the infusion of sterile fluid to your treatment area. This minimizes bleeding and preps the fat cells for easier removal and more precise body sculpting. Tumescent liposuction is ideal for patients transferring the fat being removed to another area of the body for additional sculpting. This technique is also incredibly successful for the larger regions, such as the back, abdomen, and flanks. The tumescent fluid also flushes out the area as it leaves the body, reducing the risk of complications and infection. Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound energy directly to the fat cells to liquefy them for easier removal and better, more precise body contouring. Because the fat is easier to remove, there’s less trauma to surrounding tissues, which eases your recovery and produces less swelling and bruising. You’re able to see your new body shape sooner than with traditional methods of liposuction as you heal. Both procedures only take 60-90 minutes, and you may have more than one area sculpted at the same time, or use liposuction in combination with other procedures, such as a tummy tuck or arm lift. What Results Can I Expect? Swelling from your procedure requires a couple of weeks to subside enough for your new shape to emerge. Your skin will be smoother, your abdomen and flanks flatter and more toned, and your arms or thighs will be thinner. If you’ve had your double chin treated, your jawline will be more defined, your neck more graceful and attractive. It may take a few months for your tissues to fully settle, and once they do, you’ll enjoy your new silhouette for a lifetime with a healthy lifestyle.
